Chapter 751: Going on a mission to ask for peace and going with the flow
The loud and long-lasting cheers from the city soon reached the ears of Sun Huan below the city.
When he heard the cheers of the Han troops in the city, Sun Huan seemed extremely confused.
But based on the basic reaction of a general, Sun Huan immediately turned his head back.
It was okay not to look at it, but when he looked at Sun Huan, he became even more confused.
From Sun Huan's sight, at this moment, the mountains and forests in the distance seemed to be filled with Tiance flags.
Sun Huan didn't know why Tiance flags were suddenly planted all over his own rear path.
Sun Huan didn't even know if Mi Yang had arrived outside the Public Security City.
But there is one thing Sun Huan can confirm.
That is, when the cheers rang out in the city, the next moment a denser rain of arrows suddenly came to the heads of many Wu troops.
Under the indiscriminate rain of arrows, the Wu army suffered heavy casualties.
Wu Jun's originally rapid offensive was successfully contained by this wave of arrows.
It was obvious that the flagging military morale of the Han army was revitalized at this moment.
Now the morale of the Han army is even several times stronger than it was a few days ago!
Among the Wu troops attacking the city, Sun Huan was not the only one who felt at a loss.
Even the other Wu generals' reactions became dull after seeing the flags of the Tiance Army in the distance.
Isn't this funny?
He fought bloody battles there, thinking of capturing the Public Security City in one fell swoop.
As a result, after fighting and fighting, before he could reach the gate of Public Security City, his own way out was cut off?
Such battles must have been extremely rare for thousands of years!
After being confused, doubts and fears soon arose in the hearts of many Wu Jun.
When Wu Jun had this emotion in his heart, it proved that they had failed in today's siege battle.
Fortunately, just when Sun Huan and other Wu generals were at a loss, the sound of gold came from the camp behind them.
The sound of gold ringing is harsh, and the sound of gold ringing represents retreat.
If it were in the past, the hot-blooded young man Sun Huan would definitely be furious when he heard the sound of gold ringing.
"We are about to fight to the death, why is the general asking for gold?"
But at this moment, Sun Huan had no such idea in his mind.
As if he had been granted amnesty, Sun Huan quickly retreated towards the rear with the remaining Wu troops.
Sun Huan withdrew his troops even faster than when he advanced just now.
The Wu army's embarrassing retreat aroused bursts of cheers from the Han troops in the city.
There was obvious ridicule in the cheers of the Han army.
But at this time, Sun Huan was not in the mood to pay attention to this.
After returning to the camp almost in a daze, Sun Huan was immediately summoned to his tent by Lu Xun.
As Sun Huan advanced towards Lu Xun's camp, Sun Huan noticed that there was a strong atmosphere of panic in the camp.
There were many Wu troops running around exclaiming:
"When Mi Lang arrives, he has nowhere to return."
When Sun Huan heard this, he shuddered subconsciously.
When Sun Huan entered Lu Xun's tent, he discovered that it was not just the ordinary soldiers outside who were panicked.
Lu Xun's tent was already in chaos.
Whether it was the noble Bu Zhi, the brave Zhu Huan, or Zhuge Jin, who was always known for his gentle temperament, they were all quarreling with red faces at this moment.
The focus of their quarrel was only one - what should they do next if Zhou Ling fell.
Is it possible that such a big matter can be resolved only by quarreling?
Arguing will only infinitely amplify the fear and irritability in people's hearts.
Lu Xun, who couldn't stand the quarrels, finally slapped the case and shouted loudly:
"The bandits haven't attacked yet, are you going to mess up your position?"
Lu Xun's loud shout was effective.
Under Lu Xun's shouts, the people who were arguing, Wu Xungui, returned to their seats one after another and sat down.
And when they sat down, the tent suddenly fell into a strange silence.
It is true that a noisy environment is not conducive to stabilizing people's hearts.
But was the ghostly silence the atmosphere Lu Xun wanted to see?
In order to prevent the generals from thinking wildly in this strangely quiet atmosphere, Lu Xun looked at Zhuge Jin:
"Tzuyu, I have to trouble you to make a trip next."
Lu Xun's words caused some embarrassment to appear on Zhuge Jin's face.
Why did he, who had always been a good old man, get up and argue with Bu Zhi just now?
The reason is quite simple.
It was Bu Zhi who suggested to Lu Xun that he send Zhuge Jin as an envoy to Zhou Ling.
This has two purposes:
The first is to find out if Mi Yang is in the police station.
Mi Yang is so good at deceiving people.
In addition, there were still many Wu generals who believed that Mi Yang would not abandon the elite Tiance troops and decisively return from the Wancheng front line.
Would Mi Yang really ignore the safety of tens of thousands of Tiance elites?
All Wu generals know that Mi Yang's presence or absence in Zhouling will directly affect what actions they should take next.
Therefore, it is very important to find out this clearly.
As for the second one:
That is, Zhuge Jin can use the envoy's move to find out the strength of the Han army.
How many people came from the Han army?
Are they all elite?
Is there sufficient food and grass?
...
All the above information will directly affect their subsequent fate.
I have to say that Bu Zhao’s idea has merit.
But Zhuge Jin was not happy.
When they marched into Jingzhou, they could be said to have formed a national feud with Mi Yang.
Zhu Huan killed Mi Yang's good friend Wang Hong in vain, which can be said to have created a personal hatred with Mi Yang.
Even though he and Mi Yang had national and private hatred, why did he still walk up to Mi Yang openly?
What if Mi Yang gets excited and cooks himself to death?
If it's a matter of life and fortune, normal people would refuse.
It’s just that no matter how Zhuge Jin refuses, it’s useless.
Lu Xun saw the embarrassment on Zhuge Jin's face. He knew the worries in Zhuge Jin's heart, but he felt that Zhuge Jin was unfounded.
"Everyone knows that Duke Kongming is Mi Yang's teacher.
And Ziyu, you are Kong Minggong's biological brother, no matter how much Mi Yang hates our army, he will never hurt you."
"In addition, for the sake of Duke Kong Ming, Mi Yang will not take any action to expel you."
Lu Xun opened his mouth and told the reason why Zhuge Jin had to go.
"Tzuyu, you are the only one who can find out the reality of the traitor army for our army right now!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When saying this, Lu Xun’s eyes were full of pleading.
Seeing that Lu Xun had said so, what reason could Zhuge Jin have to refuse?
In desperation, Zhuge Jin sighed and slowly stood up:
"Since it is for the safety of the country, I am willing to go!"
Zhuge Jin's words made Lu Xun very happy.
He immediately arranged guards for Zhuge Jin.
After Zhuge Jin left the tent, Lu Xun looked at the generals and said:
"I know you are in a state of fear right now.
But I believe that our army has not yet reached its end.
How to retreat from the enemy and how to break out of the encirclement will all be considered after Tzuyu returns.
But you know very well that Wang Hong's death has caused our army to form a deadly feud with Mi Yang.
We are not Tzuyu.
For the sake of the country and for your own sake, I hope that in the coming time, you can abandon all daydreams and concentrate on assisting me to appease the morale of the military.
As long as we work together and look up and down, our army still has hope!"
Facing the critical situation, Lu Xun didn't want to say anything more.
He expressed the simplest interests in the most straightforward language.
Lu Xun's words had an effect.
The Wu generals present here are not fools. Of course they know that what Lu Xun said makes sense.
At this point, what's the use of being afraid anymore?
If you want to survive, take action.
After Lu Xun finished speaking, all the Wu generals present stood up and bowed to Lu Xun:
"I am willing to listen to the general's orders!"
After receiving the agreement from the generals, the tired Lu Xun waved his hand and asked them to go down first to appease the soldiers.
The generals of Soochow left quickly.
Soon, only Lu Xun and Yu Fan were left in the big tent.
After seeing that there was no one else around, Yu Fan mustered up the courage to step forward and ask Lu Xun:
"General, can our army really be safe and sound?"
It is obvious that Yu Fan has a pessimistic attitude towards Wu Jun's current situation.
Yu Fan's question made Lu Xun fall into silence.
After a long time, Lu Xun's feeble reply reached Yu Fan's ears.
"If Mi Yang is really in Zhouling, then there will be room for everything."
After saying this, Lu Xun dragged his tired body towards the inner tent.
After Lu Xun left, Yu Fan thought about Lu Xun's words and felt doubtful in his heart.
What do the general's words mean?
...
With a reluctant look on his face, Zhuge Jin, escorted by a group of Wu troops, headed towards the Zhou Ling early the next morning.
Before they had gone far, the scouts placed by Wei Yan discovered the traces of Zhuge Jin and his party.
Soon, the Han army's scouts stopped Zhuge Jin and his party who were acting suspiciously.
When Zhuge Jin saw the Han army scouts showing off their bright weapons, he was frightened and immediately exclaimed:
"Don't use your weapons, I am Duke Kongming's brother!"
Zhuge Liang's prestige in the Han Dynasty was not at all inferior to Mi Yang's.
Therefore, when the Han army scouts heard that the man in front of them was the brother of their prime minister, they subconsciously showed respect on their faces.
At the same time, they also put away the weapons in their hands.
Soon after, Wei Yan, who was commanding the Han army to set up camp, learned of Zhuge Jin's arrival.
Wei Yan knew how much Mi Yang respected Zhuge Liang.
So Wei Yan did not dare to neglect at all, and quickly asked people to bring Zhuge Jin to him.
"Yan pays homage to Duke Zhuge!"
After Zhuge Jin arrived, Wei Yan bowed to Zhuge Jin honestly.
Wei Yan's worship calmed Zhuge Jin's panic a lot.
But what Wei Yan blurted out next made Zhuge Jin look embarrassed.
"Duke Zhuge, is he dissatisfied with Sun Quan's tyranny and wants to come back to Yiyi?"
After asking this question, Wei Yan noticed that Zhuge Jin's expression was quite unnatural.
So Wei Yan patted his chest and assured Zhuge Jin:
"Please don't worry, Mr. Zhuge. Now that you are in our military camp, Yanding can protect you."
Wei Yan's words made Zhuge Jin even more embarrassed.
Seeing Wei Yan's enthusiastic expression, Zhuge Jin found it difficult to reveal his true purpose.
But due to his responsibilities, Zhuge Jin could only say in the end:
"I am here to visit Mi Da Sima on the orders of General Lu Gong."
Zhuge Jin's words were obviously beyond Wei Yan's expectation.
Wei Yan subconsciously:
"ah?!"
Wei Yan's "ah" word was full of incredible tone.
With Wei Yan's political intelligence, he really couldn't understand that you all invaded your own territory and massacred your loyal ministers, yet you still had the nerve to send envoys here.
This is so shameless!
What Wei Yan didn't know was that in the original history, Soochow liked to do such things.
For example, in history, Sun Quan captured Jingzhou with a backstab and killed Guan Yu. Hearing that Liu Bei was about to lift the table and fight with him, he quickly sent an envoy to ask Liu Bei for peace.
The envoy from Soochow that time was none other than Zhuge Jin.
Wei Yan's subconscious reaction made Zhuge Jin even more embarrassed.
Zhuge Jin was born into a famous family after all, and his upbringing made his whole face turn red.
Just when Wei Yan and Zhuge Jin were looking at each other in silence, Liu Yin, who was standing beside him, noticed Zhuge Jin's embarrassment and quickly whispered to Wei Yan.
After Liu Yin whispered, Wei Yan tried his best to accept Zhuge Jin's purpose.
But Wei Yan's expression became distorted.
It's like eating a fly.
Wei Yan was worried that he would be unable to control his anger at the next moment, so he quickly asked people to get out of the way so that Zhuge Jin could pass quickly.
Fortunately, Zhuge Jin is also self-aware.
Almost as if he was running away, he led his guards through the Han army's camp and continued towards the state mausoleum.
Of course, during the process of passing through the camp, Zhuge Jin also carefully observed the actual situation of the Han army in the camp.
...
A few days later, Mi Yang, who was looking at the map of Yong'an, suddenly heard something that he couldn't believe.
Mi Yang looked at Jiang Ji in front of him and asked in a suspicious tone:
"You mean, Zhuge Jin is coming to the state mausoleum in the name of being an envoy?"
Mi Yang's tone of voice and Mi Yang's expression proved that even though he had no plans, he had never thought of this beforehand.
And Jiang Ji, who was in front of Mi Yang, was almost disgusted by this incident.
Although Jiang Ji was in Cao Wei in the past, he did a lot of maneuvering and maneuvering.
But Jiang Ji really didn't even think about such a shameless thing.
Jiang Ji has always hated shameless people the most.
Facing Mi Yang's inquiry, Jiang Ji paused for a while and then nodded.
After seeing that he heard correctly, Mi Yang would have almost laughed if he hadn't taken Zhuge Jin's identity into consideration.
Soochow is Soochow.
No matter what the situation, instinct will never disappear.
When Mi Yang was complaining crazily, Jiang Ji spoke to Mi Yang:
"Should Da Sima use illness as an excuse to avoid seeing you?"
A smart man like Jiang Ji could see Zhuge Jin's intention at a glance.
With the idea of not letting the enemy have his way, Jiang Ji put forward this suggestion.
But Mi Yang did not adopt Jiang Ji's suggestion.
"No!
After all, Zhuge Jin is the elder brother of Gu Enshi. If Gu is invisible, it is inconsistent with etiquette and justice."
Mi Yang's words made Jiang Ji nod.
Just when Jiang Ji thought that Mi Yang had to meet Zhuge Jin due to restrictions of etiquette, Mi Yang's next words attracted Jiang Ji's attention.
"Lu Xun wants Zhuge Jin to be his eyes, so why not go with the flow?
But doesn’t Lu Xun know that sometimes his own eyes are often the most deceptive?”
After saying this, Mi Yang laughed.
After figuring out the meaning of Mi Yang's words, Jiang Ji also had a smile on his face.
