The emotion in her heart made Mi Yang stand up and help Shi Bao up.
Then Mi Yang stroked Shi Bao's back and said, "It is you, Zhong Rong, who can make Gu's faith manifest in the world!"
Mi Yang helped Shi Bao back to the stone seat, and then said to him:
"The reason why I want you to go to Yong'an is not only to stabilize people's hearts, but also because your talents are far superior to Han Zong's.
With you here, you can prevent Han Zong from making mistakes and Lu Xun taking advantage of them.
I have clearly told you all my intentions.
I also promise you here that you only need to help Han Zong defend Yong'an for half a year.
From now on, it will last for half a year.
If the half-year period exceeds even one day and you fail to defend Yong'an City, I will be credited with your first merit.
If you are captured, I will do whatever it takes to get you back safely.
If you unfortunately die serving the country, your wife will be left alone to support her."
After listening to Mi Yang's words, Shi Bao showed a moved look on his face.
Contrary to the misunderstanding of later generations, the most romantic vow between men in this world is "your wife will be left alone to support her".
Mi Yang was making a promise to him that he would never give up until he died!
Shi Bao truly felt that he was lucky to have a master like Mi Yang in his life.
In the end, Shi Bao could only respond to Mi Yang's kindness to him with great determination:
"Although I am incompetent, I will definitely make sure that the city and people are there!"
...
As Mi Yang expected, Han Zong's envoy returned to Yong'an City on the next day.
After learning that the envoy he sent had returned, Han Zong immediately received him.
As soon as the messenger stood in front of Han Zong, he couldn't help but asked eagerly:
"how?"
Faced with Han Zong's eagerness, the envoy did not dare to show any signs of neglect. He expressed Mi Yang's willingness to accept him to Han Zong.
Of course, when saying this, the envoy did not forget to emphasize: "Only General Tiance is willing to trust the general."
After knowing Mi Yang's attitude, Han Zong couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The excited Han Zong stood up quickly, bowed to the west, and said with gratitude:
"Da Sima Yingming!"
After paying homage to Mi Yang, Han Zong will prepare all the arrangements for his escape.
But before his first order was issued, the messenger hesitated and said what Mi Yang wanted Han Zong to do.
"Kill Hu Zong and seize Yong'an?"
Han Zong listened to the messenger's words with a surprised look on his face.
At the end, feeling in disbelief, he unconsciously asked.
Facing Han Zong's hesitant gaze, the messenger nodded solemnly.
Seeing that he had heard correctly, the surprise and doubt in Han Zong's heart not only did not disappear, but instead increased several times.
"Does Da Sima know where Yong'an is?
Does Grand Sima know how many troops are loyal to Sun Quan in Jiangxia County?"
"Sun Quan will go crazy if he captures Yong'an!"
The next moment, Han Zong excitedly reprimanded the envoy continuously.
After reprimanding the envoy, Han Zong fell down on his seat limply.
Han Zong is not stupid, he naturally knows that if he is caught by surprise, it will not be difficult to capture Yong'an City with his control over the Jiefan Army.
But Yongan City is not a small border town, Yongan City is an important town located in the heart of Jiangxia.
Capturing Yongan City is not a problem, but what happens after capturing Yongan City?
Han Zong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he thought that he would face the siege of Wu's entire army.
It is true that the messenger's words stated that Mi Yang would definitely support Han Zong.
Han Zong did not doubt that Mi Yang would be a dishonest person.
But support will definitely require the mobilization of a large army, and mobilizing a large army will take time - Han Zong is not completely sure that he can defend Yong'an City within this period of time.
In other words, given the current situation, Han Zong feels that he has not yet reached a situation where he needs to take such a big risk.
Maybe I was too sensitive before?
Maybe Sun Quan would let him go?
In the face of huge risks, Han Zong, like ordinary people, began to hesitate.
But when he thought of Sun Quan's ruthlessness and what he had done in the past, Han Zong felt that his idea was too ridiculous.
How should he choose?
For a moment, Han Zong felt a splitting headache.
After a long time, Han Zong, who had experienced a headache, raised his red eyes.
"Someone is coming!"
Since there is no way to make a decision in a short period of time, it is better to choose a safer method for the time being.
When the personal guard was called in by Han Zong, Han Zong immediately ordered:
"Send elite troops to guard the internal and external passages of Yong'an City.
No matter who it is, especially the suspicious people from the east, they must be investigated strictly, and any news must be intercepted and reported to me in time!"
Han Zong, who has been robbing Yong'an for many years, can easily block Yong'an City's news channels in a short period of time.
After hearing Han Zong's instructions, the guards quickly turned around and left.
...
In the few days since the envoy returned to Yong'an City, Han Zong had been unable to make up his mind.
This is human nature.
After all, what Mi Yang wanted Han Zong to do was too risky, and Han Zong's situation was not at its most critical moment.
But soon Han Zong will make a choice.
It is July 20th, the sixth year of Han Zhangwu. Today is a sunny day.
The envoy sent by Lu Xun to Yong'an also arrived outside Yong'an City today.
This envoy is Lu Xun’s descendant, Lu Cheng.
What Lu Cheng didn't know was that after he entered Yong'an by boat, his traces were discovered by Han Zong's people.
Due to Han Zong's previous orders, when Lu Cheng just got off the boat, several sword-wielding soldiers appeared around him.
When Lu Cheng first saw his own soldiers appearing, he was not too panicked.
As a descendant of General Lu Xun, could he still worry that the Wu army would harm him in broad daylight?
But the certainty in Lu Cheng's heart was quickly broken by the fierce shouts of those Wu Jun soldiers.
"Who are you?
Dare to trespass into important military territory!"
Military area?
Lu Cheng looked around. Isn't this a port for daily traffic? How could it be an important military location?
Faced with Wu Jun's questioning, Lu Cheng remembered the mission given by Lu Xun, but he did not reveal his true identity.
Lu Cheng chose to fabricate a false identity and purpose in order to deceive him.
But what Lu Cheng didn't expect was that those Wu Jun didn't care about his identity. What they cared about was the brocade clothes Lu Cheng was wearing.
By virtue of his rich clothes, the Wu Jun men concluded that Lu Cheng must have a lot of wealth.
For the robber, it is enough to judge this.
"People from good families come to Yongan for an outing?
I think you are a spy sent by the enemy!"
After putting this big hat on Lu Cheng, one of the Wu Jun couldn't restrain his excitement and rushed forward and directly pressed Lu Cheng to the ground.
Suddenly being pressed to the ground by Wu Jun, Lu Cheng was in a state of confusion.
Then Lu Cheng felt that there were two big hands on his body that were constantly wandering around, as if searching for something.
This situation made Lu Cheng feel extremely humiliated.
He comes from a famous family!
As soon as the feeling of humiliation appeared, Lu Cheng's mood became sad and angry.
Is Wu Jun from Yongan so wild in his behavior?
Such behavior is no different from that of a robber!
What Lu Cheng didn't know was that under Han Zong's training, many Jie Fan soldiers were already professional robbers.
And as Wu Jun's big hand continued to touch something deeply, Lu Cheng's mood suddenly became excited.
He twisted his body, trying to break free from Wu Jun's restraints, but the more fierce he resisted, the more Wu Jun felt that the object he just touched must be a good thing.
Soon after, the objects in Lu Cheng's arms were taken out by Wu Jun.
When Wu Jun saw the letter in his hand, his expression instantly changed from joyful to solemn.
"Who are you?"
When he asked this question, several Wu Jun soldiers around them all drew out their long knives and pointed them at Lu Cheng who was on the ground.
In today's world, if not a messenger, who would carry a letter on his or her body?
Facing the knife-wielding interrogations of several Wu soldiers, Lu Cheng remembered Lu Xun's instructions and refused to reveal his true identity.
Lu Cheng still feels that even if these Wu Jun are robbers, they can't steal letters.
It's a pity that Lu Cheng thought wrong.
Seeing that Lu Cheng was stubborn and stubborn, the Wu soldiers did not hesitate and directly lifted Lu Cheng from the ground and took him with the letter in his hand towards the camp outside Yong'an City.
...
Not long after, Han Zong, who was taking a nap, was eagerly awakened by a tribesman.
Looking at the tribesmen standing in front of him, Han Zong rubbed his eyes and asked:
"What happened?"
Under Han Zong's question, the tribesman quickly replied:
"Today I found a letter."
"That letter was written by Lu Xun."
As soon as he heard that the letter was written by Lu Xun, Han Zong stood up from the bed and asked anxiously:
"Where's the letter?"
Then Han Zong took the letter written by Lu Xun from the hands of the tribe.
While Han Zong was checking the contents of the letter, the tribesmen continued to report to Han Zong:
"The person who sent the letter learned under torture that he was a descendant of Lu Xun's clan.
At first, he refused to reveal his identity, as if he was afraid that others would know that Lu Xun sent a letter to Hu Zong."
Han Zong's face darkened at the tribe's report.
If Lu Xun was not planning something big, why should he be so careful?
He is the general of Soochow, so many ministers can serve as messengers to deliver messages, so why send the inconspicuous Lu Cheng here?
After reading the contents of the letter, Han Zong's dark complexion turned pale.
"Han Zong is cunning and may be connected with Mi Yang. You must be more careful.
If there is something wrong with him, there is no need to report it, just design and capture it!"
Han Zong's eyes were fixed on these two sentences in the letter.
A feeling of determination was brewing in Han Zong's eyes.
Then Han Zong burst out laughing:
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"As expected of someone Sun Quan values!"
Although Han Zong was laughing, the tribesmen could hear full malice in Han Zong's laughter.
"Sun Quan wants me to die, and you want me to die too. You are all forcing me!"
"Do you really think everyone is Zhang Zhao and Sun Deng?
But I don’t want to die.”
When he said this, Han Zong put back the smile on his face.
At this time, Han Zong remembered what Mi Yang asked the messenger to bring him:
"When I am alone, what can't I do?"
If you can do it, why not do it!
At this moment, the expression on Han Zong's face had changed to a fierce one.
"Go and summon the generals at all levels in the army."
"Go quickly!"
Under Han Zong's roar, the tribesmen hurriedly walked out.
Soon after, generals at all levels in the army were summoned to Han Zong's military tent.
Previously, Jie Fan's army was divided into two parts by Lu Xun, and the other part was given to Hu Zong.
However, under Han Zong's call, the generals of the Jiefan Army who were supposed to obey Hu Zong's orders actually came to Han Zong's side obediently.
After seeing the generals at all levels arriving, Han Zong told them a shocking news:
"I have received accurate information that Sun Quan has been informed about our robbery of merchant tribute ships.
He is sending an order to Lu Xun to arrest us!"
As soon as Han Zong said these words, the entire military tent exploded instantly.
Many officers stood up in fear, not knowing what to do.
The Jie Fan soldiers were called Guo Brigade, but they were actually private soldiers.
What is a private soldier?
There is a father-son-master-servant relationship between the general and the soldiers!
With this kind of relationship, no one would doubt Han Zong's words.
After the violent commotion, all the generals subconsciously focused their attention on Han Zong.
Back then it was Han Dang, Han Zong and his son who brought them wealth, but today they hope that Han Zong can bring them a way to survive.
Facing the gazes of the generals, Han Zong said his method:
"I have contacted General Tiance and he is willing to save us.
But he needs a gift."
"what gift?"
Needless to say, Mi Yang's reputation in Jiangdong is well known.
Once they heard that Mi Yang was willing to accept them, many generals thought they had a way out.
If there is really a way to survive, what can't you dedicate to General Tiance?
Under everyone's doubtful inquiry, Han Zong said slowly:
"Yongan!"
As soon as Han Zong finished speaking, the enthusiasm of the generals gradually dissipated as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.
Just like Han Zong did before.
But now Han Zong has changed.
"I am determined to comply with Admiral Tiance's request.
Admiral Tiance promised me that after I succeed, he will definitely send troops to support me.
He will even lead the troops himself!
My dear friends, although our troops are not many, we have General Tiance standing behind us.
As long as he is willing to take action and cooperate with us inside and outside, we have nothing to fear!"
At this moment, Mi Yang's reputation in Jiangdong played a great role.
After listening to Han Zong's words, many generals' faces became lively again.
The changes in the faces of the generals were noticed by Han Zong.
At this time he said something else:
"We have no choice.
If you believe in General Tiance, you will live; if you doubt General Tiance, you will die.
I choose to live!
Where are you?"
As soon as Han Zong said these words, all the generals looked at each other, but in the end they all stood up and bowed to Han Zong:
"I am willing to listen to the general's orders!"
As Han Zong's private soldiers, their loyalty and trust in Han Zong are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Seeing that all the generals were willing to take action with him, Han Zong had a smile on his face.
Then Han Zong took out a dagger and slashed open the clothes on his left arm, revealing his scarred left arm.
Under the gaze of all the generals, Han Zong raised his left arm and shouted:
"At that time, General Tiance was in Gong'an City, and Zuo Qiao's army defeated one hundred thousand Wu troops.
Why not do it now!
Pass on the order, all those who are willing to fight for Tiance will be left-handed!"
The role of role models is endless.
Han Zong's behavior greatly inspired the generals in the tent, and like Han Zong, they cut off the clothes on their left arms.
As Han Zong's order spread throughout the army, within one day:
Thousands of Jiefan troops are all leftist!
This chapter has been completed!
