Mi Han

Chapter 139

Chapter 139

With the gathering of armies from all sides in Jingbei, the situation became more and more treacherous and unpredictable.

However, Jingnan seemed a little stable because Mi Yang led the army to block Jiangdong's army.

But this is only relative to the two counties of Wuling and Lingling.

They are guarded by Mi Yang. Although they know that there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops watching them thousands of miles away, generally speaking, the people in these two counties are still living and working in peace and contentment.

However, outside the Public Security, although Mi Yang had won a big victory and severely damaged the morale of the Wu army, Sun Quan who arrived at the Public Security did not choose to retreat for the time being due to internal reasons.

The [-] Wu troops outside the city were still hanging over Mi Yang's head like a sharp knife, which made him feel uneasy.

Especially with the passage of time, the food and grass in the public security city have gradually become exhausted, which makes Mi Yang more and more worried.

Wu Jun didn't retreat as he expected. Faced with this change, Mi Yang could only adapt to the situation and make a new plan.

During this period of time, he ordered Guan Ping to send troops several times to attack Wu Jun's military camp outside the city.

Under the leadership of the brave Guan Ping, the high-morale Han army broke through several military settlements of the Wu army one after another.

Although it is said that under the obstruction of Zhu Ran's troops, the Han army did not achieve much results, but undoubtedly, this move further lowered the morale of the Wu army.

As for the Han army in Public Security City, their morale has been further improved.

In the Wu army camp outside Gong'an City, Sun Quan listened to Han Dang's report in the commander's tent, his face was gloomy like water.

One hundred thousand troops besieged the city, and it was fine if they couldn't overcome it.

It is a great shame that the Han army with a small number in the public security city broke through the military camp several times.

Sun Quan put Zhang Zhao's memorial from Jianye on the case, and he came to Han Dang and asked him, "These days, Mr. Han has been investigating the spies in the army, have you gained anything?"

Even if Sun Quan didn't know anything about soldiers, he knew that there were traitors in the army. If he didn't find out early, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ever since he received Mi Yang's letter of dismissal that day, Sun Quan's suspicions had been completely aroused.

He didn't know if Quan Cong was really a spy, he didn't even know who the real spy was.

But the more it was like this, the more Sun Quan felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

The invisible enemies are the scariest, just like those in Jianye City.

Because of the strong suspicion in his heart, and because he was not sure who was the real Wu traitor, Sun Quan took the safest method.

Sun Quan was on guard against those who could not be trusted or had suspicions.

So even though Sun Quan knew that Lu Xun's suggestion had merit, he still rejected Lu Xun's suggestion to surprise Yidu for the sake of safety.

After all, Sima Yi had offered advice to him before, and it is very likely that there is a shortage of food in the Public Security City.

Under the circumstances that it is possible to make meritorious service by sticking to it, Sun Quan has no need to take this risk.

And as the feeling of being on the back of his heart grew stronger, Sun Quan, who finally couldn't help it, and Han Dang, whom he trusted the most, led his personal guards and began to examine the Jiangdong generals he suspected in the army. .

Perhaps Sun Quan still had a semblance of reason, he did not extend the review to the entire army.

It's just that as those Jiangdong generals were called in for questioning one after another, Sun Quan's previously stable military spirit began to fluctuate again.

Everyone is not a fool.

They may not know what Mi Yang wrote in the letter to Sun Quan before, but looking at Sun Quan's actions now, they all guessed that Sun Quan suspected that there was a traitor in the army.

And as more and more Jiangdong generals were secretly censored, a strong sense of uneasiness began to permeate the Wu army.

The generals of the Wu army worried that in the next moment, they would be suspected by Sun Quan of being the traitor, and they would end up decapitated.

Some generals of the Wu army even began to suspect that the friendly troops in the camp next to him were spies of the Han army.

And this is the most serious among Huaisi generals.

The existing Huaisi generals all followed Sun Ce across the south of the Yangtze River.

They have no hometown to rely on in Jiangdong, and they have always been loyal to the Sun family who can bring them prosperity and wealth.

And even Sun Quan would not be easily suspicious of these Huaisi generals who depended on him for survival.

Sun Quan's real suspicions were those Jiangdong generals who were born in Jiangdong aristocratic families, and it didn't matter who was the leader of Jiangdong.

Therefore, in today's Wu army's army, a kind of terror and anger that the monarch and his ministers trust each other, and the comrades trust each other, is spreading rapidly.

Without the influence of this atmosphere, it would not have been so easy for Guan Ping to lead the army to attack the Jiangdong army's military camp.

Similar situations have happened in history.

The "Second Palace Controversy" started from Sun Quan's suspicion and spread from the court of Wu State.

Then it gradually involved almost all the important ministers of Wu State at that time.

In the end, because of Sun Quan's suspicion, an internal purge broke out that involved the most extensive and most serious consequences in the history of Wu.

Since then, many elites of the Wu Kingdom died in that purge, and the vitality of the Wu Kingdom was seriously injured, completely losing the possibility of going north.

Now under Mi Yang's alienation plan, the terrifying atmosphere that would only appear in Jiangdong after decades has already arrived in Jiangdong's army ahead of schedule.

Facing Sun Quan's expectant question, Han Dang shook his head at Sun Quan.

And Sun Quan couldn't help showing a disappointed look on Han Dang's face after seeing that Han Dang hadn't got any results after several inspections.

How could it not be found?

If someone secretly communicated with Mi Yang, there would definitely be some clues left behind, how could there be no trace at all.

If it was normal, in the face of Han Dang's repeated inspections to no avail, perhaps Sun Quan would think that it was just Mi Yang's estrangement.

But in the face of hard facts, how could Sun Quan believe that there were no traitors in the Jiangdong Army?

Lu Meng was seriously ill, and Quan Cong wrote these two things. If Mi Yang hadn't been informed by an insider, unless Mi Yang was a god, he would definitely not have known about it.

And most importantly, Zhang Zhao stated in the memorandum just now that his investigation in Jianye has already yielded results.

Every one of those results shows that the rumors in Jianye City this time were deliberately released by some wealthy families from Jiangdong in the city to disturb the morale of the army.

Although Zhang Zhao hasn't found out which aristocratic families are messing up the situation, at least it proves that there are indeed ministers colluding inside and outside Jiangdong.

So at this time, Sun Quan could only think that the reason why Han Dang could not be found out was because those traitors were too secretive to hide.

The more secretive those insiders hide, the more it proves that the status of those insiders is not low.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan, who became more and more uneasy, immediately gave Han an order: "Order the three armies to withdraw from the west gate, and order all the generals and schools in the background of Huaisi to lead the troops to the east camp and guard the orphan inside and outside."

When Lu Meng led his troops to the city of Gong'an, he had the intention of attacking the city of Gong'an.

So he ordered the [-] troops to disperse the four gates and completely besiege the Gong'an City, so as to cut off the inside and outside of the Gong'an.

In fact, according to "Sun Tzu's Art of War", it is the correct way to encircle the division.

Surrounding the division must be quelled means to give the enemy a way out, so that their will to fight will not be so strong.

And this move may be able to lure the enemy to relax their vigilance and break out, thus ambush them.

But at that time, Lu Meng considered that Mi Yang had just won a big victory and the army's morale had been strengthened, so the practice of encircling three and missing one was not very useful.

He adopted the method of besieging the city on all sides, adapting to the current situation, and Lu Meng's approach at that time was not wrong.

Now Sun Quan has adopted this approach again. One is that the current siege of the city is not very useful, but it will disperse his troops and give Mi Yang an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The fact that the Han army went out of the city to successively break through several villages of the Jiangdong army is proof.

The second is Lu Meng, who was also the general of Huaisi at the time, but he was not at ease with some Jiangdong generals.

Therefore, in order to keep the four camps of the Jiangdong army stable, he adopted a camp pattern in which Huaisi and Jiangdong generals intertwined each other.

Because of this layout, it means that there are many camps of Jiangdong generals next to Sun Quan's commander-in-chief.

As Sun Quan has become increasingly distrustful of Jiangdong generals, for his own safety, Sun Quan plans to withdraw the Jiangdong army at Ximen, which has the least number of troops.

He wants to call all the Huaisi generals at the west gate to guard him, so that he can feel at ease.

Facing Sun Quan's commander-in-chief, although Han Dang hesitated, he still didn't say anything in the end.

He knew why Sun Quan did this.

Compared with Dalang, Erlang still lacks the calm courage after all.

In addition, what Sun Quan is doing now is also in line with the law of war.

Anyway, the Public Security City can no longer be taken down, so it is better to gather the army and concentrate on the map.

So after Han Dang bowed to Sun Quan, he immediately got out of the command tent and ordered the three armies to go.

After Han Dang left, Sun Quan returned to his seat and began to think about who the traitor in Jiangdong's army was.

At that time, he was able to stabilize Jiangdong by being proficient in tactics, but everything was too much, and if he was too obsessed with anything, it would always lead to a catastrophe.

When Han Dang passed on Sun Quan's commander-in-chief to all the armies, Zhu Huan was furious after receiving the military order, and he came to a camp not far away.

After entering the tent, Zhu Huan sat down beside the stove in the tent angrily.

Then he said to Quan Cong, the owner in the camp: "Zi Huang, have you got the Supreme Commander?"

Zhu Huan, courtesy name Xiumu, was born in Wu County, Wu County.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan had just inherited the base of Jiangdong, and was designated by Cao Cao as the general who sought captives. Zhu Huan began to work under Sun Quan and was appointed as the head of Yuyao.

At that time in Yuyao, there were diseases and plagues, and the price of grains increased due to the reduction of production.

Zhu Huan sent his subordinate officials to personally handle the treatment of patients in secret, and the meals and porridge were delivered one after another. Therefore, the people of Yuyao thanked and loved Zhu Huan.

Because of this reputation, Zhu Huan was appointed by Sun Quan as the school lieutenant of Dangkou, commanding 2000 soldiers, and in charge of the armies of Wu and Kuaiji counties.

Zhu Huan integrated the scattered soldiers, and within a year, there were more than 1 subordinates.

Later, bandits from Danyang and Poyang swarmed up, captured the city, killed local officials, and camped everywhere.

Zhu Huan led the generals to conquer the camps of the bandits everywhere, and the places they went were immediately pacified.

Therefore, due to his contribution, Zhu Huan was appointed by Sun Quan as the general of the beneficiary, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Xincheng Ting.

Zhu Huan not only has the same glorious resume as Quan Cong, but the most important thing is that he and Quan Cong come from the same Wu County family.

If it weren't for Zhu Huan's family background, when Yuyao's grain production was reduced due to the plague at that time, how could he distribute a lot of grain to the people of Yuyao to gain fame?

Most of the families in Wu County are connected with each other, so the relationship between Zhu Huan and Quan Cong has always been very good.

After hearing Zhu Huan's question, Quan Cong replied with a flat face, "You and my camp are not far away. You got the Commander-in-Chief, how could it be possible that I didn't get it?"

After Quan Cong finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Huan who was baking his hands, and he said to Zhu Huan, "Now the Supreme has sent Han Gong to inspect the troops, and if you come to my tent in a dignified way, aren't you afraid that the Supreme will be suspicious?"

Hearing what Quan Cong said, Zhu Huan immediately said angrily, "I'm so scared."

"In terms of military exploits, I am no less than that Han Yigong. If he didn't even respect the old people, how could it be his turn to judge me today."

Different from Quan Cong who has a calm personality, Zhu Huan has an arrogant personality and is ashamed of being driven by others, so he dared to speak wild words in front of Quan Cong.

But after Quan Cong heard Zhu Huan's complaint, he was worried that the wall had ears, so he stopped Zhu Huan in time to continue speaking:

"It was the Supreme Master who ordered Mr. Han to do this. Do you dare to disobey the Supreme Master's order?"

Seeing that Quan Cong moved out of Sun Quan, Zhu Huan, who was dissatisfied, could only stop talking.

Even he is afraid of Sun Quan's majesty.

After not mentioning Han Dang's inspection of the generals, Zhu Huan saw that there was no one around, so he took a step closer to Quan Cong and said:

"Recently, I received another letter from home.

It is said that Zhang Zibu has found many clues in Jianye, and the family is worried that the Supreme will know everything in the long run. "

"At that time, with the means of the Supreme, our future is worrying."

Hearing Zhu Huan mention this matter, Quan Cong also showed a serious look on his face.

In Wu Jun's family, both the Zhu family and the Quan family have business dealings with Mi Fang.

In addition, there are many descendants of aristocratic families who participated in this matter, most of them are generals with trilogy in their hands.

As for the spread of rumors in Jianye City, because Mi Fang had a handle on them, the Zhu family and the Quan family were all involved, and they were also the main planners.

If Zhang Zhao finds out the truth about this matter, with Sun Quan's mean and ungrateful personality, even if he loves Zhu Huan and Quan Cong, he will not show mercy to those who betray him.

But now, what can be done?

All done.

Quan Cong could only sigh, "Let's leave everything to fate."

"It's a pity that Boyan didn't plan for us."

Quan Cong recognized Lu Xun's deep thinking.

Lu Xun, Zhu Huan, and Quan Cong belonged to the same Jiangdong family, so they should have been connected with each other.

However, since Lu Xun took charge of the Lu family in Wu County, he has always kept himself clean and strict.

Therefore, even though Lu Xun is the smartest general among Jiangdong generals of his generation, his troops have always been the slowest in expansion and the smallest in number because they did not do business with foreign enemies.

But now because of this, the Lu family of Wu County has become the safest family in Jiangdong.

Compared with Quan Cong's pessimism, Zhu Huan, who has always been bold, said at this time: "When a man is alive, it should be done by man. How can we rely on the destiny and others."

"In the previous battle, the Huaisi generals have already suffered heavy losses."

"If there is another big defeat, and the Huaisi generals are getting more and more withered, the Supreme will stabilize Jiangdong in the future. Besides us, who else can we rely on?"

"At that time, for the sake of Jiangdong, how can the Supreme punish us!"

Zhu Huan's probing and bewitching words came to Quan Cong's ears, and Quan Cong had a shocked look on his face.

What Zhu Huan said was too rebellious!

But facing the hidden murderous intentions in Jianye City and thinking of the tragic situation his family will face in the future, Quan Cong did not speak out to refute Zhu Huan.

There was a vague expression of emotion on his face.

It's not that he is unfaithful, it's just that the family is in the world, and the family is in front of the country.

At this time, Mi Yang in the Public Security City received an urgent report!

The attack of the strange monsters.
