Chapter 787: Borrowing a Knife to Kill Lu Hongmen

After indirectly expressing his attitude, the strength in Lu Dai's body seemed to be sucked away out of thin air.

He was so weak that he fell directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Dong Yun wanted to go forward and help Lu Dai up, but when Dong Yun's hand touched Lu Dai, Lu Dai's body had a stress reaction, and he quickly struggled to shake off Dong Yun's hand.

In Lu Dai's eyes, Dong Yun was a very dangerous person.

Dong Yun did not mind Lu Dai's temporary discomfort.

He admitted that his persuasion tonight was not entirely glorious.

For Lu Dai, it was normal for him to feel angry.

From Dong Yun's perspective, since his goal has been achieved tonight, he is willing to bear some of the resentment in Lu Dai's heart.

The two were speechless, and it was Lu Dai who finally broke the silence.

“Since you are aware of the rift between me and Sun Quan, you should also know that Sun Quan sent Zhou Cang as an envoy, nominally a supervisor but actually a military inspector.

With him here, I cannot completely control these 20,000-plus Wu troops."

After saying this, Lu Dai noticed that Dong Yun had a dangerous look in his eyes, so he quickly added:

“Even if Zhou Qian is not here, many of the more than 20,000 Wu troops are not my direct subordinates.

If they were asked to attack the Han army, they would probably obey orders.

But if they were to surrender to the Grand Marshal like this, it might cause them to revolt."

Lu Dai expressed his opinion to Dong Yun.

After listening to what Lu Dai said, Dong Yun thought for a while and nodded.

Dong Yun could tell that Lu Dai was telling the truth.

The reason why Lu Dai said this was to remind Dong Yun not to make some unrealistic requests.

Mi Yang had a great reputation, but many of the more than 20,000 Wu troops had their families in Jiangdong.

It was almost impossible to expect them to easily submit to Mi Yang just because of one of his orders.

Fortunately, Mi Yang had considered this before Dong Yun came.

Dong Yun looked at Lu Dai and said slowly:

"General, please rest assured that the Grand Marshal is not an unreasonable person.

What Da Sima wants is actually very simple.

According to intelligence, Lu Fan will lead an army of more than 10,000 people and will arrive outside Chaisang City soon.

After Lu Fan leads his troops to arrive, he will definitely send someone to contact the general as soon as possible.

Da Sima didn't care much about what Lu Fan wanted to do.

What the Grand Marshal cared about was that no matter what the general wanted to do after Lü Fan arrived, he would ask to go with him.

This should not be difficult for the general."

Not difficult?

It’s more than easy!

After learning of Mi Yang's intention, Lu Dai's first reaction was surprise.

Mi Yang tried every possible means to persuade him to rebel, but was what he wanted really that simple?

But soon, Lu Dai, who had experienced many things in the world, reacted in a moment.

A look of fear appeared on Lu Dai's face.

Lu Daisheng stretched out his finger, trembling in disbelief and said:

"Could it be that Da Sima wants to..."

Lu Dai did not say the second half of the sentence.

Because to him, Mi Yang's real purpose was too terrifying.

People have always said that Han Lu is best at using troops to destroy people's hearts.

After taking a look today, I find that it is not an exaggeration!

Seeing that Lu Dai had already guessed something, Dong Yun showed a slight smile on his face.

Before he came, Mi Yang also smiled at him like this.

look forward to.

When Lu Dai saw that Dong Yun could actually laugh at this time, his panic suddenly increased a little.

In Lu Dai's eyes, at this moment he regarded Dong Yun in front of him as Mi Yang who was eyeing Jiangdong from outside Chaisang.

"Does he enjoy this?"

Lu Dai didn't dare to say this.

Faced with Lu Dai's speculation, Dong Yun did not confirm it.

Then Dong Yun simply bowed to Lu Dai and said:

“No matter what the Grand Marshal wants to do, the ministers should do their best to make him fulfill his wish.

This is loyalty.

Yun was very happy that he could share the same tent with the general and serve as his subject from tonight onwards.

I hope the general will not disappoint the Grand Marshal."

Dong Yun was asking Lu Dai for another answer.

Seeing the sharpness hidden under Dong Yun's humility, Lu Dai suddenly woke up.

Is it his right to ask what Mi Yang wants to do?

Things have developed to this point, and he has lost the power to choose.

In that case, there is nothing to doubt.

"Dai, Dai knows!"

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. On the second night, Mi Yang waited for Dong Yun in the big tent outside Chaisang City.

Mi Yang was overjoyed to see Dong Yun return safely.

Mi Yang stood up to greet Dong Yun, and held Dong Yun's hand and said:

"If Xiu Zhao doesn't come back tonight, I will lead my troops westward and personally ask Lu Dai for the man."

Although the words seemed like a joke, Mi Yang's tone was serious and caring.

Dong Yun was deeply moved by Mi Yang's tone.

If I can get such a master, I will have no regrets in this life.

However, Dong Yun was moved and remembered the etiquette between superiors and subordinates. He still gently broke away from Mi Yang. He stepped back a few steps, bowed to Mi Yang and said:

"I have accomplished my mission."

Dong Yun's words made Mi Yang smile even more.

"it is good!

He went on a righteous mission and used his sharp tongue to persuade the enemy general to surrender.

Xiu Zhao's style is comparable to that of Su and Zhang in ancient times."

Happy Mi Yang pulled Dong Yun to sit down.

After Dong Yun sat down, he told him in detail what had happened between him and Lu Dai.

After finishing speaking, Dong Yun emphasized to Mi Yang:

“Lü Dai is not a simple person.

If it weren't for the information provided by Zhou Qian, Yun Yi would not have been able to easily persuade him to surrender."

Dong Yun's tone showed admiration and fear for Lu Dai.

Hearing the meaning of the voice, Mi Yang changed to a comfortable sitting position, then looked at Dong Yun and asked:

"Does Xiu Zhao think that Lu Dai won't behave himself in the future?"

Seeing that Mi Yang expressed his concerns in one sentence, Dong Yun nodded.

Dong Yun's admission did not distress Mi Yang, but made him laugh.

"In terms of eloquence, I am not as good as you, but in terms of understanding people's hearts, I am one day better than you."

"Given Lu Dai's current status, he must be resentful that he was succumbed to the words of a young man like you.

But don't forget that he is different from you. At nearly 70 years old, he will never do anything unwise because of resentment.

Otherwise you won't be able to return safely.

Although he was indignant, his current situation meant that his way out was blocked.

If he wants to survive, he has no choice but to obey me.

He is a wise man, and he will not go against this.”

Mi Yang's words instantly dispelled Dong Yun's worries.

"The great Sima is wise."

"But I still don't understand one thing."

Seeing that Dong Yun still had doubts, Mi Yang nodded and said:

"But it doesn't hurt to ask."

“I don’t understand. The Grand Marshal could have attacked Lü Fan when he was still unstable.

Why do we need to let Lü Fan contact Lü Dai and add some risks?"

Hearing Dong Yun's doubts about this, Mi Yang looked at him and asked:

"What does Xiu Zhao think we rely on to defend the city?"

“It’s the human heart!”

To guard the city is to guard the people's hearts.

Since the Battle of Gong'an, this sentence spoken by Mi Yang himself has become a popular saying, and Dong Yun naturally knew it.

Dong Yun's answer made Mi Yang nodded.

He continued:

"The way to conduct military operations lies in the harmony of the people. If the people are harmonious, they will fight of their own accord without any persuasion.

Similarly, if the officers and officials are suspicious of each other, the soldiers are not obedient, the good ones are not employed, and the subordinates are slanderous and evil, even if you have the wisdom of Tang and Wu, you cannot defeat an ordinary person, let alone Quan Cong. "

"My target is Chaisang. In my eyes, Lv Dai and Lv Fan are just two tools.

Two tools that can help me break the hearts of the people in Chaisang!

Quan Cong thought that even without reinforcements, he could still stop Gu with the strength of Chaisang City.

He is too naive.

Doesn’t he know that the battle that made me famous was the battle to defend the city?

Anyone who is good at defending must also be good at attacking.

Xiu Zhao, just wait and see. The day Lü Fan arrives will be the day Chaisang City falls!"

Mi Yang spoke in a firm tone, with a determined look on his face.

At this moment Mi Yang remembered the letter he wrote to Quan Cong a few days ago.

To this day, Quan Cong has not replied to him.

How rude!

Mi Yang hates impolite people the most.

The end of December in the sixth year of Zhangwu in the Han Dynasty.

Just as the new year was about to arrive, Wu's former general, Nanchang Marquis Lu Fan, finally led his troops to the outskirts of Chaisang City.

This time, Lu Fan brought more than 10,000 reinforcements.

Although the number does not sound too large, most of these more than 10,000 reinforcements are Lu Fan's troops. They have been in battle for a long time and are the rare elite troops in the Eastern Wu army.

With more than 10,000 elite soldiers, Lu Fan had great confidence in this support operation.

But on the way here, Lu Fan learned two new pieces of news that were like bolts from the blue.

One was that Mi Yang personally arrived outside Chaisang City, and the other was that He Qi's troops were completely wiped out.

When these two pieces of news reached Lu Fan's ears, they almost broke his mentality.

The situation in Chaisang was clearly improving before he sent out his troops. Why did the situation deteriorate to such an extent as soon as he led his troops to the outskirts of Chaisang City?

Lu Fan felt the deep malice from Mi Yang.

Fortunately, as a founding father of the Sun family, Lu Fan's loyalty to the Great Wu is unparalleled.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, he would have led the army to retreat long ago.

For Lu Fan, withdrawing troops was impossible. All he could do was to find a way to clean up the corrupt situation in Chaisang.

Fortunately, after receiving two pieces of bad news, Lu Fan also received good news - that is, Lu Dai's reinforcements were nearby.

After learning about this, Lu Fan immediately sent someone to contact Lu Dai.

Before Lü Fan set out to fight, he received a secret letter from Sun Quan.

In the secret letter, Sun Quan told Lu Fan about his concerns about Lu Dai, and hoped that Lu Fan would be more cautious after leading his army to Chaisang.

At Sun Quan's reminder, Lu Fan asked Lu Dai to come to his army in person to meet him.

Soon Lu Dai received a letter from Lu Fan.

Faced with Lu Fan's request, Lu Ju was worried.

Upon learning that his father was planning to completely turn to Mi Yang, Lu Ju's mentality changed. He was worried that Lu Fan's invitation would be a Hongmen Banquet.

But Lu Dai did not have this worry.

"The war is imminent, Ziheng dare not."

"On the contrary, if I don't go, Ziheng will become suspicious, which will ruin the Sima's plan."

If there were no external enemies, Lu Fan might have other intentions.

But Mi Yang was just outside Chaisang City. Unless Lu Fan was Mi Yang's accomplice, he would never dare to do anything bad to him at this time.

With this idea in mind, Lu Dai quickly brought his personal guards to Lu Fan's army.

After hearing the news of Lü Dai's arrival, a confidant who knew Sun Quan's secret order suggested to Lü Fan:

"General, you can use your authority to capture Lü Dai in the army and send him to Jianye for interrogation by Your Majesty."

The advice from his confidant made Lu Fan hesitant.
