Chapter 86 Dark clouds are pressing down on the city and are about to be destroyed (Fourth update, please follow up!)
Outside the Public Security City, the weather is particularly gloomy today.
The billowing black clouds were like ink condensed into substance, pressing heavily over the Public Security City.
The dark clouds rolling like black dragons in the sky seemed to be heading straight towards the Public Security City in the next moment.
This scene created an invisible sense of urgency for the people in the city.
Outside the Public Security City, Jiangdong's army in black armor, like endless black tides, all swarmed towards the Public Security City.
The entire world was temporarily shrouded in dark colors.
Looking at the 100,000 Jiangdong army below that surged towards Gong'an City like a huge wave, Mi Yang on the top of the city looked solemn.
He knew that with the strong police presence, Jiangdong's army would not be able to attack the city so easily.
But facing such a large number of enemies, he had no choice but to be careless.
Mi Yang looked into the distance and saw many flags fluttering proudly in the cold wind in the military formation of tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops below.
"Lu, Huang, Han, Pan, Jiang, Zhou, Xu"
The names of the Eighteen Tiger Ministers of Jiangdong, who are familiar to later generations, are now not engraved on the cold history books, but full of vitality, showing their grace in front of Mi Yang's eyes.
Looking at the flags of so many Jiangdong famous generals, Mi Yang couldn't help but sigh.
This time, Jiangdong came out in full force.
It's just a pity that I didn't see Sun Quan's handsome flag.
And when Mi Yang was on top of the city, observing the military formation of tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops, among the tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops, Lu Meng, who was the commander of the one hundred thousand Jiangdong army, was also looking up at the city head.
His eyes were full of determination to win.
Before the expedition, Jiangdong generals asked him what they should do after Jiangdong's army arrived at the city.
Lü Meng replied: The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, so we have the advantage. We should suppress them with large troops and surround the city on all sides. First, confuse the enemy's mind and then destroy the city.
Lu Meng not only planned this, he also did this.
When he led a hundred thousand troops ashore, before arranging the army to repair the camp, he ordered one hundred thousand troops to disperse in all directions and wrap up the public security city tightly.
And because the east side of the city faces the retreat of Jiangdong's army, this wall is the most important.
Lu Meng chose to sit here personally and face Mi Yang personally.
For the remaining three city walls, Lü Meng assigned Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Jiang Qin as generals to coordinate the siege.
And just after his troops surrounded Gong'an City, Lu Meng looked at the Jingzhou defenders hidden among the battlements on the city wall, and he summoned someone.
The man was nearly the age when he knew his destiny, and he was dressed in a Confucian crown.
His face is stern, and his clothes are neatly arranged without any dust. Looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is a critic of the country.
After the man arrived, Lu Meng said to him:
"Zhongxiang, I would like to send you as my envoy to the city to persuade Mi Zisheng to surrender. I don't know if Zhongxiang is willing to go through this."
The man summoned by Lu Meng was none other than the famous Jiangdong official, Yu Fan and Yu Zhongxiang.
Yu Fan, a native of Yuyao in Kuaiji, was a famous Confucian scholar in Jiangdong and even in the world.
Yu Fan had already served the Sun family during Sun Ce's time.
After surrendering to Sun Ce, and during the twenty years since Sun Quan came to power, Yu Fan repeatedly offered advice to his superiors.
But because most of his words were ruthless, he was regarded as a "family treasure" by Sun Ce, but he was hated by Sun Quan and was quite alienated.
Of course, although Sun Quan hated Yu Fan, Yu Fan was the most talkative in Jiangdong.
Because of Yu Fan's talents, Sun Quan had to rely on him sometimes.
Lü Meng naturally knew Yu Fan's talents, so when he went on the expedition, he specially took Yu Fan with him to listen to him, who had been idle at home, thinking that he could use him one day.
After hearing Lu Meng's instructions, Yu Fan, with a serious look on his face, immediately bowed to Lu Meng and said, "Be loyal to the country and do whatever you want."
Seeing that Yu Fan was willing to send an envoy for him, Lu Meng couldn't help but be overjoyed.
However, the purpose of sending Yu Fan as an envoy to Gong'an City was not just to persuade Mi Yang to surrender, but for other purposes.
Lu Meng was about to reveal his true purpose to Yu Fan, but Yu Fan took the lead and said to Lu Meng, "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief."
"When I enter the city this time, I will definitely observe the people's hearts in the city for the Grand Governor."
"If there is any chance of turmoil in people's hearts, I will be the governor to disturb them."
Hearing Yu Fan's words revealing his thoughts, Lu Meng stroked his beard and laughed.
This time he brought Yu Fan with him, which was considered the right thing to do.
After receiving the order, Yu Fan took over the envoy's exclusive white feather talisman from Lu Meng's attendant, and then embarked on the road to Gong'an City.
After arriving at the wide moat, Yu Fan stepped onto a simple raft, and then headed towards the Public Security City under the rowing of the guards around him.
And Yu Fan's arrival was promptly noticed by Mi Yang on the top of the city.
Seeing a man heading towards Gong'an City holding a messenger's talisman, Mi Yang did not order the soldiers on the wall to fire arrows.
When the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.
This is an unspoken rule among the major forces in the world.
For example, Mi Yang sent envoys to Xunyang City before. Although Sun Jun was angry at the two things Mi Yang sent, they still did not kill the envoys sent by Mi Yang.
Historically, during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he called Cao Wei "anti-Wei".
But when the two armies were fighting, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi often sent envoys to each other.
The purpose of doing this is to allow the envoy to inquire about the actual situation of some enemy troops.
For example, let the envoy see how the enemy's military morale is.
Because there was no obstruction from Mi Yang, after rowing for a while, Yu Fan finally stepped onto the other side of the moat.
When he arrived at the foot of the Public Security City, Yu Fan observed closely the scene in the military camp outside the Public Security City.
And when he saw the thousands of ferocious barbarians wearing fine armor, Yu Fan's heart tightened.
At this time, a hanging basket was slowly lowered on the city wall.
When Yu Fan saw this, he asked his guards to wait at the bottom of the city, and then he climbed into the hanging basket without hesitation.
When he entered the hanging basket, he was pulled toward the city wall by the soldiers on the city.
The public security city wall is towering, several feet above the ground.
Yu Kuanyue was pulled upward by the soldiers on the wall, and he became further and further away from the ground.
When he looked down at the ground, the guard he left on the ground looked as tiny as an ant from his height.
After the soldiers on the city held him for a long time, Yu Fan was finally pulled to the city wall.
After Yu climbed up the city wall, he saw a general wearing bright light armor already inside the city wall, looking at him intently.
As a reward for Sun Huan's previous defeat, everyone in Sun's army knew that Mi Yang, the chief public security officer, was wearing a suit of Mingguang armor.
Therefore, when he saw the person in front of him wearing Mingguang armor, Yu Fan had already made 90 or 10 guesses about his identity.
Yu Fan first bowed to Mi Yang, and then said, "Yu Fan, the envoy of the Governor of Jiangdong, came to pay homage to Master Mi on the order of the Governor."
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
After learning that the public security general was Mi Yang, Lu Meng sent spies to find out all about Mi Yang.
So Yu Fan knew about Mi Yang's current official position.
