Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 995 An accident occurred
As the ship slowly approached, the opened city gate became larger and larger in Lu Meng's eyes, as if to welcome his arrival, but it was also like the mouth of a beast, quietly opening to devour people.

Lu Meng understood that this was the biggest test he faced.

If Mi Fang sincerely surrenders, she will reach the sky in one step when she enters the city. If Mi Fang sets up an ambush to lure her into the city, then entering the city will mean death or life.

Lu Meng made a decision instantly. He nodded to the guards behind him. The guards immediately understood and loudly called for the soldiers to come out of the cabin and file out of the city.

The dock had long been blocked, and all the idlers had been driven away. Mi Fang's private soldiers lined up on the passage from the dock to the city gate. As soon as Lu Meng's ship docked, he ordered his people to put down the pedals and lead the soldiers off the ship first.

The thousands of elite soldiers he led this time were all wearing armor and linen robes, and their weapons were also wrapped in linen. They surrounded Lü Meng and lined up towards the city gate.

The hundred or so people at the front all drew out their weapons and lined up to enter the city. These people were the dead soldiers exploring the way. If there was an ambush in the city, they would be the first to die.

However, this did not happen. After a hundred-man team entered the city, the city was extremely quiet. After a while, the team sent someone to report back to Lu Meng, saying that the soldiers in the city were all waiting in line and there was nothing abnormal.

After hearing this, Lu Meng finally felt relieved. Surrounded by soldiers, he entered the city at a very fast speed and strode down the streets of Baqiu City. Lu Meng, with the fully armed soldiers around him, felt in his heart I felt the so-called stability before.

The private soldiers he led were rare elites in the Jiangdong Army. Each of them could equal one to ten, and they all obeyed orders and died. Even if the other party turned against him, Lu Meng was confident that he could kill all Mi Fang's private soldiers in the city!
But it was clear that Mi Fang did not have this intention. He came down from the city and bowed down to Lu Meng, "Mi Fang, I would like to pay my respects to Governor Lu."

Even though Lu Meng's expression remained as usual, he felt happy now. Mi Fang was now the governor of Nanjun. Although this was a false title that Liu Bei had sought from Liu Biao, in terms of official position alone, she was already among the top five under Liu Bei.

Commander-in-Chief is a unique title for Jianghuai. It is not a formal official position. It is mostly a title attached for the sake of sound. For example, Lu Xun, Commander-in-Chief of Jianghuai, whose real official position is to supervise the army.

This laid a hidden danger for what would happen next. Mi Fang was not a grumpy person. In order to seek compensation, she intensified her efforts to search for oil and water, but she did not do it very cleanly, so Lu Meng took advantage of her.

Even Zhang Fei would not have a hard time meeting Mi Fang on weekdays, but the bad thing was Guan Yu, who just didn't like Mi Fang. There were several conflicts between the two sides, but Mi Fang gave in in the end.

Mi Fang couldn't interrupt, so she could only smile in embarrassment. Lu Meng repeated this several times, and it took him a full cup of tea to stop laughing. He worked very hard to hold back his laughter, and pulled Holding Mi Fang's hand, he said, "The prefect's decisive act of justice surprised Rang Meng."

Lu Meng smiled and said: "Don't worry, prefect, no one in Jiangdong would dare to treat the prefect like this."

He looked at the sun and knew that he had to do business, so he said to Mi Fang: "Without further delay, I will gather all the troops and horses as soon as possible to occupy the cities upstream and downstream of Baqiu."

But Lu Meng did not expect that things would go so smoothly. In his expectation, the two sides would have to push and pull, and maybe they would pay a very high price. This price would even exceed the scope of what he could make the decision, and he would need to report to Sun Quan face to face. Just fine.

Lu Meng cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "It is gratifying that the prefect abandoned his secret position and turned to the bright side. My lord will certainly treat the prefect favorably and will not be incompetent."

"It must be very unpleasant to be under Liu Yuzhou's rule, right?"

The same is true for Lu Meng. His real official position is actually just General Pi, and the title of Governor was given by Sun Quan to allow him to do things easily.

Lu Meng couldn't help but laughed loudly. He patted Mi Fang's shoulder and wanted to say a few more words to comfort Mi Fang. But not only why, he couldn't stop laughing. Every time he wanted to speak, he was suppressed by his own laughter. Pressed back.

When Lu Meng saw it, he waved his hand to stop him. Naturally, he couldn't be so arrogant that he didn't protect himself. He also wore soft armor under his white robe, and he himself was both civil and military. He had killed many people on the battlefield. Facing someone like Mi Fang, If someone who started as a businessman is still weak in terms of momentum, it will be too bad!
He took two quick steps and walked up to Mi Fang who looked uneasy. Mi Fang hurriedly bowed again: "Fang respectfully welcomes the Commander-in-Chief."

After hearing this, Mi Fang said gloomily: "Guan Yu is arrogant and insulted me several times. He is really bullying me too much."

But what he is doing now is something that other governors have never done before!
Lu Meng walked forward, his white clothes fluttering, giving him the air of a scholar, making him look refined. The guards beside him hurriedly tried to protect his figure to guard against assassination from cold arrows in the distance.

In the end, Mi Fang agreed so easily. Not only did she agree to join Jiangdong, she also gave him such a generous certificate of surrender!

On the one hand, this is the return of the Mi family's investment in Liu Bei in Haixi. On the other hand, it is Mi Fang's contribution to rescuing Mrs. Gan and preserving Liu Bei's heirs. Therefore, Mi Fang has such a status. Although her ability is slightly lacking, Liu Bei's subordinates are actually Nothing to criticize.

"I also ask the prefect to place his soldiers under my command for the time being."

After speaking, he looked directly at Mi Fang. Mi Fang understood and said: "No problem, now all the soldiers and horses in the city are handed over to the governor!"

He turned to A Da Dao: "Call all the people here and deliver the goods to the governor." A Da obeyed the order and immediately asked his guards to call all the private soldiers of the Mi family to show their loyalty to Lu Meng. Lu Meng saw this and became even more heartbroken. Fortunately, with Mi Fang's private soldiers, he can take advantage of the situation behind Jingzhou to capture the city and make great achievements!
As the troops gradually gathered, Lu Meng Mi Fang said: "I heard that there are many family members of Guan Yu's navy soldiers settled in Baqiu City?"

After receiving Mi Fang's affirmative reply, Lu Meng said decisively: "Okay!" Now first cut off the Yangtze River waterway in front of Baqiu, and then use his family members to force Guan Yu's navy between Baqiu and Lukou to surrender! "

"Then after we get the naval force, we will advance by land and water and march westward to Jiangling!"

Mi Fang quickly agreed, and asked Ada to block the waterway. Then he turned around and asked A'er, who was in charge of internal affairs, to lead people to control the family members of the navy army, but found that A'er was not present.

He guessed that A'er had gone to the refugee camp again, and felt slightly unhappy. What time had it been? He didn't care what the refugees did!
At this moment, his ears suddenly moved, and he seemed to hear some sounds coming from far away.

The sound became louder and louder, even Lu Meng heard it. He and Mi Fang quickly led people up to the city wall and looked into the distance. When they saw the scene in the distance, their expressions suddenly darkened.

Crowds gathered in many places in the city, but they were pouring in all directions. It was obvious that something had happened!
He turned to Mi Fang, pointed to the place with the most people and said, "What was the prefect doing earlier?"

Mi Fang tried hard to identify the crowd and said confusedly: "I didn't do anything. Isn't that place a gathering place for refugees? Why?"

His expression suddenly changed. He was exiled to a civilian camp?
Thinking of Ah Er who disappeared inexplicably, he suddenly felt bad and quickly wanted to call Ah Da back who had gone out, but Lu Meng said decisively: "We can't wait any longer. I will personally lead the army to quell the riot!"

He thought to himself that he had obtained troops anyway. Can the refugees in the city stop the regular army?

As a result, fires broke out in several city walls in the next moment, smoke billowed up, and shouts kept coming, "The enemy has entered the city, everyone, run away!"

"The prefect has ordered people to open the four doors. Everyone should protect themselves and find a way to escape as soon as possible!"

As the shouts continued, Lu Meng and Mi Fang both looked ugly. This was obviously a premeditated sabotage. How could the other party respond so quickly?
Lu Meng waved his hand and said, "I will fight against the rebellion. Anyone who causes rebellion will be killed without mercy!"

He immediately led his people down to the city and rushed towards the site of the riot. Along the way, news kept coming that the rebellious refugees had encouraged the people to attack the other three city gates, and they had already opened the city gates, and the people fled one after another!
After Lu Meng heard this, he was very anxious. If all the family members of the navy army fled, what else could he use to threaten Guan Yu's navy army?

If he cannot control these family members, Liu Bei's army will counterattack without any scruples and force him in the city. He will not be able to support war with war and recruit Guan Yu's navy. It will be impossible to capture Jiangling with the thousands of people in front of him!
Thinking of this, he became anxious. He knew that the situation was extremely critical and he had to use thunderous means, so he shouted: "Let those who escape go home immediately. Those who still escape will be regarded as rebels and be killed on the spot!"

As soon as he said this, his private soldiers responded one after another, but the one with sharp contrast was the private soldiers of the Mi family led by A Da. Someone immediately shouted, "My family members are among them. This is to let Do we kill our own families?"

Lu Meng's men shouted: "How dare you disobey military orders?"

After hearing this, the private soldiers of the Mi family immediately yelled back, "Fuck your mother, we are not your family, of course you are willing to kill!"

"If you dare to touch my family, I will fight with you!"

Lu Meng reacted immediately, the opponent's plan was so vicious!

He shouted: "Close the city gate first, and forget about escaping!"

The private soldiers of the Mi family reluctantly obeyed and prepared to follow them to the big city gate, but it was already too late. The streets in the city were full of people who wanted to escape, blocking all the roads and making it impossible for the soldiers to advance.

Not to mention Lu Meng's severe headache, Mi Fang felt cold in his heart when he saw it. He didn't know that he had not caught the real traitor at all, and that the traitor was most likely A'er!

But what Mi Fang couldn't figure out was that A Si should be a traitor. He himself admitted it, but A Er also clearly testified against A Si. Isn't this right?
Mi Fang's body trembled. Could it be that the two of them were playing a double act?

So many, Ah Si has been rescued by Ah Er?
No, Ah Si was imprisoned by Ah Da himself. Ah Er should not know the location. In other words, Ah Er incited the refugees?
And how did Ah Er control the refugees in the short period of time after Ah Si was captured?

Is it possible that Ah Da is also a spy?
No way, Ada is still in front of him, he betrayed him, will he still stay here?

Mi Fang was numb. He doubted everyone now, but he couldn't do anything.

What was even more numb was Lu Meng. He looked towards the river from the top of the city because he saw what seemed to be a fleet coming!
