As armies from all sides gathered in northern Jingzhou, the situation became increasingly unpredictable.
But Jingnan seemed a little more stable because Mi Yang led his army to block Jiangdong's army.
But this is only relative to Wuling and Lingling counties.
They are protected by Mi Yang, and although they know that there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops thousands of miles away who are eyeing them, generally speaking, the people in these two counties are still living and working in peace and contentment.
However, outside the Public Security Bureau, although Mi Yang won a great victory and severely damaged the morale of the Wu army, Sun Quan, who arrived at the Public Security Bureau, did not choose to retreat for the time being due to internal reasons.
The 100,000 Wu troops outside the city were still hanging over Mi Yang's head like a sharp blade, making her feel uneasy.
Especially as time goes by, the food and grass in the public security city has gradually become exhausted, which makes Mi Yang increasingly worried.
Wu Jun did not retreat as he expected. Faced with such changes, Mi Yang could only adapt to the situation and make new plans.
During this period, he ordered Guan Ping to send troops several times to attack the Wu army's military camp outside the city.
Under the leadership of the brave Guan Ping, the Han army with high morale successively defeated several military camps of the Wu army.
Although the Han army did not achieve much success due to the obstruction led by Zhu Ran, there was no doubt that this move further reduced the morale of the Wu army.
As for the Han troops in Gong'an City, their military morale has further improved.
In the Wu army camp outside the public security city, Sun Quan was listening to Han Dang's report in the commander's tent, his face as gloomy as water.
A hundred thousand troops besieged the city, but it was fine if they could not conquer it.
The small number of Han troops in the public security city actually defeated the military camp several times. It was a great shame and humiliation when word spread in the future.
Sun Quan put the memorial sent by Zhang Zhao from Jianye on the desk. He came to Han Dang and asked him: "During the past few days, Han Gong has been conducting a detailed investigation of spies in the army. Have you gained anything?"
Even if Sun Quan didn't know anything about soldiers, he still knew that there was a traitor in the army. If he didn't detect it early, the consequences would be disastrous.
Ever since he received Mi Yang's letter urging him to quit that day, Sun Quan's suspicions had been completely aroused.
He didn't know if Quan Cong was a real spy, he didn't even know who the real spy was.
But the more this happened, the more Sun Quan felt like a light on his back.
Invisible enemies are the most terrifying, just like those in Jianye City.
Because of the strong suspicion in his heart and because he was not sure who the real traitor was, Sun Quan took the safest approach.
Sun Quan was wary of those who could not trust or harbor suspicion.
Therefore, even though Sun Quan knew that Lu Xun's suggestion had merit, for the sake of safety, he still rejected Lu Xun's suggestion of a surprise attack on Yidu.
After all, Sima Yi had offered him advice before, so the public security city was most likely short of food.
There was no need for Sun Quan to take this risk when it was clear that he could achieve success if he persisted.
As the feeling in his heart grew stronger, Sun Quan finally couldn't help it. He ordered his most trusted Han Dang to lead his personal guards and began to scrutinize the Jiangdong generals he suspected in the army.
.
Perhaps Sun Quan still had some sense, and he did not extend the review to the entire army.
However, as those Jiangdong generals were called for questioning one after another, Sun Quan's previously stable military morale began to waver 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 behavior now, they all guessed that Sun Quan was suspicious of a traitor in the army.
As more and more Jiangdong generals were secretly scrutinized, a strong sense of uneasiness began to permeate the Wu army.
The generals of the Wu army were worried that the next moment, they would be suspected by Sun Quan of being the traitor and end up with their heads missing.
Some Wu generals even began to suspect that the friendly troops in the camp next to them were spies of the Han army.
This problem was most serious among the generals of Huaisi.
The current Huaisi generals all followed Sun Ce across the Yangtze River south.
With no hometown in Jiangdong to rely on, they have always been loyal to the Sun family who can bring them glory and wealth.
And even Sun Quan would not easily be suspicious of these Huaisi generals who relied on him for survival.
Sun Quan's real suspicion was those generals from Jiangdong who came from aristocratic families in Jiangdong and did not care who was the master of Jiangdong.
Therefore, in today's Wu army, a kind of terrifying anger that the emperor and his ministers are suspicious of each other, and their colleagues are suspicious of 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 military camps in Jiangdong.
Similar situations have occurred in history.
The "Second Palace Controversy" arose 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.
Finally, because of Sun Quan's suspicion, an internal purge broke out that had the widest scope and the most serious consequences in the history of Wu State.
Since then, many Wu elites have died in that purge, Wu's vitality has been severely damaged, and the possibility of advancing northward has been completely lost.
Now, under Mi Yang's alienation plan, the atmosphere of terror that would only appear in Jiangdong decades later has already arrived in Jiangdong's army in advance.
Facing Sun Quan's expectant inquiry, Han Dang shook his head at Sun Quan.
When Sun Quan saw that Han Dang had not received any results after several reviews, he couldn't help but have a look of disappointment on his face.
How could it not be found?
If someone secretly communicated with Mi Yang, they would definitely leave some clues. How could there be no trace at all?
If it were normal, when facing Han Dang's repeated inspections with no results, Sun Quan might think that it was just Mi Yang's divorce plan.
But faced with the ironclad facts, how could Sun Quan believe that there was no traitor in the Jiangdong Army?
Lu Meng was seriously ill, and Quan Cong wrote a letter about these two things. If Mi Yang hadn't been told by a traitor, and unless Mi Yang was a god, it would have been impossible for him to know.
And the most important thing is that Zhang Zhao stated in the memorial just now that his investigation in Jianye has produced results.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Each of these results shows that the rumors in Jianye City this time were deliberately released by some wealthy Jiangdong families in the city to disrupt the morale of the military.
Although Zhang Zhao has not found out which aristocratic families are stirring up trouble yet, it has at least proved that there are indeed ministers in Jiangdong who are colluding both internally and externally.
So at this time, Sun Quan would only think that the reason why Han Dang could not be found out was because those traitors were too secretive.
The more secretly those traitors hide, the more it proves that their status is not low.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan, who became increasingly uneasy, immediately gave an order to Han Dang: "Send an order to the three armies to withdraw from the siege of the west gate. Order all the generals with Huaisi background to lead their troops to the east camp to guard the orphans inside and outside."
When Lu Meng led his troops to Gong'an City, he planned to attack Gong'an City.
Therefore, he ordered an army of 100,000 troops to disperse to four gates and completely surround the public security city, thereby isolating the internal and external public security forces.
In fact, according to "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, the correct approach is to encircle the army.
Besieging the enemy forces means leaving a way for the enemy to survive, so that their will to fight will not be so strong.
Moreover, this move may induce the enemy to relax their guard and break out, thus ambush them.
But at that time, Lu Meng considered that Mi Yang had just won a big victory and the morale of the army was solidified, so the method of surrounding three and missing one was of little use.
He adopted the method of besieging the city on all sides and adapted to the circumstances. What Lü Meng did at that time was not wrong.
Now Sun Quan has adopted this approach again. One is that the current siege of the city is of little use. Instead, it will distract his troops and give Mi Yang an opportunity.
This is evidenced by the fact that the Han army went out of the city to continuously attack several villages in Jiangdong.
The second one was Lu Meng, who was also a general of Huaisi at the time. In fact, he was not at ease with some Jiangdong generals.
Therefore, in order to secure the four camps of Jiangdong's army, he adopted a camp pattern in which Huaisi and Jiangdong generals were staggered to control each other.
Because this layout means that there are many camps of Jiangdong generals next to Sun Quan's commanding camp.
As Sun Quan became more and more distrustful of Jiangdong generals, for the sake of his own safety, Sun Quan planned to withdraw the Jiangdong army at the west gate, which had the smallest strength.
He wanted to mobilize all the Huaisi generals at Ximen to guard him, so that he could feel at ease.
Facing Sun Quan's command, Han Dang hesitated, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He knew why Sun Quan did this.
Compared with Dalang, Erlang still lacks the calm and unhurried courage.
In addition, what Sun Quan is currently doing is also in line with the Art of War.
Anyway, the Public Security City can no longer be taken, so it is better to gather the army and concentrate on the plot.
So after Han Dang bowed to Sun Quan, he immediately left the commander's tent and ordered people to send orders to the three armies.
After Han Dang left, Sun Quan returned to his seat and began to think about who the traitor was in Jiangdong's army.
Back then, he was able to stabilize Jiangdong with his proficiency in tactics, but if he did anything too much, it would be too much, and if he was too obsessed with anything, it would always lead to a catastrophe.
When Han Dang passed Sun Quan's command to all the armies, Zhu Huan was furious after receiving the order. He came to a camp not far away.
After entering the tent, Zhu Huan angrily sat down next to the stove in the tent.
Then he said to Quan Cong, the owner of the camp: "Zihuang, have you obtained the Supreme's new command?"
Zhu Huan, courtesy name Xiu Mu, was a native of Wu County, Wu County.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan had just inherited Jiangdong and was appointed by Cao Cao as the general to fight against the captives. Zhu Huan began to work under Sun Quan and was appointed as the chief of Yuyao.
At that time, diseases and plagues were encountered in Yuyao, and grain prices increased due to reduced production.
Zhu Huan sent his subordinate officials to handle the matter of treating patients secretly and personally. Food and porridge were delivered one after another. Therefore, the people of Yuyao thanked and loved Zhu Huan.
Because of his reputation, Zhu Huan was appointed by Sun Quan as the captain of the Dang bandits, commanding 2,000 soldiers and in charge of the armies of Wu and Kuaiji counties.
Zhu Huan consolidated the remaining soldiers, and within a year, he had more than 10,000 men under his command.
Later, bandits from Danyang and Poyang swarmed out, captured the city, killed local officials, and camped everywhere.
Zhu Huan led his generals to conquer the enemy camps and pacified them wherever they went.
For this reason, Zhu Huan was appointed General Pi by Sun Quan and given the title of Marquis of Xincheng Ting.
Zhu Huan not only had the same glorious resume as Quan Cong, but the most important thing was that he and Quan Cong were both from the Wujun family.
If it weren't for Zhu Huan's family background, how could he have distributed so much food to the people of Yuyao to gain fame when Yuyao's food production was reduced due to the plague?
Most of Wujun's aristocratic families have the same spirit, so the relationship between Zhu Huan and Quan Cong has always been very good.
After Quan Cong heard Zhu Huan's question, his face was calm and he replied: "Your and our camps are not far apart. You got the command, how could I not get it?"
After Quan Cong finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Huan who was warming his hands. He said to Zhu Huan: "Now the Supreme Lord has sent Han Gong to inspect the armies. If you come to my tent openly, aren't you afraid that the Supreme Lord 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 hadn't even respected me, how could it be his turn to review me today?"
Unlike Quan Cong, who had a calm personality, Zhu Huan had an arrogant personality and was ashamed to be driven by others, so he dared to speak arrogantly in front of Quan Cong.
But after Quan Cong heard Zhu Huan's complaints, he was worried that the walls had ears, so he stopped Zhu Huan in time:
"The Supreme Lord ordered Mr. Han to do this. Do you dare to disobey the Supreme Order?"
Seeing Quan Cong move out of Sun Quan, Zhu Huan was dissatisfied and could only stop talking.
Even he was afraid of Sun Quan's majesty.
After no longer mentioning Han Dang's review of the generals, Zhu Huan saw that no one was around. He took a step closer to Quan Cong and said:
"I received another letter from home recently.
It is said that Zhang Zibu has found many clues in Jianye, and the family is worried that if things go on for a long time, the Supreme Being will know everything."
"At that time, with the supreme means, our future will be worrying."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing Zhu Huan mention this matter, Quan Cong also had a heavy look on his face.
In the Wujun family, both the Zhu family and the Quan family had business dealings with Mi Fang.
In addition, there are many children from aristocratic families involved in this matter, most of them are generals who have troops in their hands.
As for the spread of rumors in Jianye City, the Zhu family and the Quan family were all involved because Mi Fang had their handle, and they were also the main planners.
If Zhang Zhao finds out the truth about this matter, given Sun Quan's mean and ungrateful temperament, even if he favors Zhu Huan and Quan Cong, he will not show mercy to those who betray him.
But now, what can be done?
Everything has been done.
Quan Cong could only sigh: "Let everything be left to fate."
"It's a pity that Boyan didn't plan for us."
Lu Xun was thoughtful and thoughtful, and was highly recognized by Quan Cong.
Lu Xun, Zhu Huan, and Quan Cong were both from Jiangdong aristocratic families, and they should have been in the same spirit.
However, since Lu Xun took charge of the Lu family in Wu County, he had always maintained a clean and strict family style.
Therefore, even though Lu Xun was the smartest among the Jiangdong generals of his generation, his tribe had always been the slowest in expansion and the smallest in number because they did not engage in liaison with foreign enemies for business.
But now, because of this, the Lu family in Wu County has become the safest family among the Jiangdong families.
Compared with Quan Cong's pessimism, Zhu Huan, who had always been bold, said at this time: "When a man is alive, he should take care of himself. How can he rely on fate and others."
"In the previous battle, the Huaisi generals suffered heavy losses."
"If there is another big defeat, and the Huaisi generals are increasingly withered, if the Supreme Lord wants to stabilize Jiangdong in the future, who else can we rely on besides us?"
"At that time, how can the Supreme punish us for the sake of Jiangdong!"
Zhu Huan's words that seemed to be probing and bewitching came to Quan Cong's ears, and a shocked look appeared on Quan Cong's face.
What Zhu Huan said was too treasonous!
But facing the murderous intention hidden in Jianye City, and thinking of the tragic situation his family would 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 disloyal, it’s just that his family and his country are under heaven, and his family comes before his country.
At this time, Mi Yang in the public security city received an urgent report!
