In the early morning of the next day, Zhuge Jin got up early and expressed his intention to leave to Mi Yang.
Facing Zhuge Jin's sudden resignation, Mi Yang was a little surprised.
After seeing the dark circles on Zhuge Jin's face, Mi Yang realized that Zhuge Jin must not have slept well last night.
So he asked Zhuge Jin:
"But Yang's poor explanation made Mr. Ziyu feel unhappy?"
After hearing Mi Yang's question, Zhuge Jin had a look of panic on his face, but he quickly calmed down and replied:
"No.
As a minister, Yu has fulfilled his mission and should return to the police as soon as possible to resume his duties."
Zhuge Jin used his official duties to deal with Mi Yang's doubts.
After hearing Zhuge Jin's explanation, Mi Yang seemed to believe this statement.
Then he said with some regret:
"Yang originally wanted to ask Tzuyu Gong for advice on some difficulties in the Book of Songs, but it seems that this idea is difficult to realize."
Different from the Fufeng Fa family, the Langya Zhuge family's family scripture is the Book of Songs.
Since Mi Yang worshiped Zhuge Liang as his teacher, he naturally had to study the family history of Langya Zhuge family seriously.
After expressing his regrets, Mi Yang did not do much to stop him. He ordered Ding Feng to lead a guard team to escort Zhuge Jin all the way to the police.
In order not to make Mi Yang suspicious and leave early, Zhuge Jin did not reject Mi Yang's kindness.
Under Ding Feng's escort and Mi Yang's reluctant eyes, Zhuge Jin and his party quickly left Zhouling City.
Mi Yang, who was standing on the top of the city, looked at Zhuge Jin's leaving figure, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Jiang Ji came behind Mi Yang and said with emotion:
"I didn't expect that Zhuge Ziyu, who was famous all over the world, would actually steal books at night as Da Sima expected."
After saying this, Jiang Ji thought of Zhuge Liang, who was also famous all over the world.
How can the character of two siblings from the same mother be so different?
After hearing Jiang Ji's emotion, Mi Yang didn't feel surprised at all.
As a time traveler, he has long known Zhuge Jin's terrible deeds in history.
Moreover, even though they are from the same mother, how can Zhuge Jin be compared with his own Prime Minister Zhuge?
After Jiang Ji finished his emotion, Mi Yang asked Jiang Ji:
"Zitong, do you think Lu Xun will believe the contents of that official document?"
Mi Yang's question made Jiang Ji stunned.
Although Jiang Ji was also a wise man, Lu Xun was also very human.
Jiang Ji did not dare to say whether Lu Xun would completely believe the contents of the official document.
But Jiang Ji was certain of one thing.
"Whether Lu Xun believes it or not, Da Sima's strategy has been successful."
Jiang Ji's answer was quite flattering.
But it was this sweet answer that made Mi Yang feel satisfied.
"What you said is very good!"
...
Anxious to hand the secrets in his arms into Lu Xun's hands, Zhuge Jin didn't waste a moment along the way.
A few days later, Zhuge Jin returned to the Wu Army camp outside Gongan City.
After learning the news of Zhuge Jin's return, Lu Xun summoned him immediately.
When he first met Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun couldn't help but blurt out and asked:
"Can Mi Yang be in Zhouling?"
This is the thing that Lu Xun is most concerned about.
Zhuge Jin's answer completely dissipated some of the luck in Lu Xun's heart.
"When I first arrived at Zhou Ling, Mi Yang personally came out of the city to greet me."
Zhuge Jin's answer made Lu Xun's face darken a lot.
Then Lu Xun asked Zhuge Jin:
"Has Mi Yang ever agreed to our army's request for peace?"
Zhuge Jin immediately answered Lu Xun's question.
"The Han people will be so angry that the matter of seeking peace will be in vain."
In order to protect his own face, Zhuge Jin did not tell the details about his being bullied by Ding Feng.
But after seeing that the idea of seeking peace failed, Lu Xun's mood did not change much.
From the beginning, Lu Xun felt that given the current situation, Mi Yang would not agree to a ceasefire between the two armies.
The reason why Lu Xun asked Zhuge Jin to give it a try was that many Wu generals in the past had such a sense of luck.
On the other hand, Lu Xun also wanted to use this move to offset the criticism of Wu Jun from some people in the world.
No matter what Wu Jun had done wrong before, they all humbly sued for peace, but Mi Yang still refused, so whatever Wu Jun did next would be excusable.
After learning that the peace petition had failed, Lu Xun looked at Zhuge Jin expectantly.
Now that Mi Yang is in Zhouling, he just hopes that he can handle the things he ordered Zhuge Jin to do before.
Under Lu Xun's expectant gaze, Zhuge Jin first recounted the fact that he had observed that the Han army had strong soldiers and horses.
When Zhuge Jin finished speaking, Lu Xun thought that Zhuge Jin had nothing important to report, so Zhuge Jin slowly took out the copied official document from his arms.
Zhuge Jin then told Lu Xun exactly the origin of the official document in his hand.
After hearing the origin of this official document, Lu Xun was overjoyed.
He quickly stood up and came to Zhuge Jin, took the official document from his hand and read it carefully.
This official document was written by Deng Ai to Mi Yang.
In the official document, Deng Ai mentioned that he had successfully stopped Cao Xiu's army, so that Mi Yang would not have to worry about anything.
It was obvious that Deng Ai's words put Wu Jun into an even more unfavorable situation.
Because this means that Mi Yang can continuously mobilize troops from the north of Jing to continuously compress the living space of the Wu army in the south of Jing.
Because of this, Zhuge Jin felt frightened after reading the contents of the official document that night.
But when Lu Xun read the contents of the official document, he did not have the same look of fear on his face as Zhuge Jin.
On the contrary, the joy on Lu Xun's face became more and more intense, and in the end he couldn't help but laugh heartily while holding the official document in his hand.
Lu Xun suddenly laughed, which was undoubtedly something suspicious.
Zhuge Jin thought that Lu Xun was driven insane by the critical situation.
Out of concern for his own fate, Zhuge Jin quickly stepped forward and asked with concern:
"General, are you okay?"
Zhuge Jin's inquiry and his expression made Lu Xun understand what Zhuge Jin was worried about.
Lu Xun did not blame Zhuge Jin for his misunderstanding. Instead, he took Zhuge Jin's hand and said:
"This time Ziyu, you have made great contributions to Da Wu!"
Lu Xun's words made Zhuge Jin even more confused.
Before Zhuge Jin could continue to ask, Lu Xun sent people to convene the generals in the camp to discuss matters.
About half an hour later, all the Wu generals who heard Lu Xun's summons came to Lu Xun's tent.
After the Wu generals arrived, Lu Xun signaled Zhuge Jin to tell him the process of his mission.
When the Wu generals heard that the Han generals were upset and refused to accept the peace proposal, and that Mi Yang had hoarded a large amount of armaments in Zhouling, the faces of the Wu generals showed disappointment.
The contents of the official document that Zhuge Jin brought back next made all the Wu generals panic.
While all the Wu generals were panicking, Lu Xun said with a smile on his face:
"Gentlemen, please don't fall for Mi Yang's trick.
What you see can sometimes be deceiving.”
Lu Xun's words were like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of the Wu generals, causing them to gradually calm down.
After the Wu generals calmed down, Lu Xun continued:
"Do you think Mi Yang will be mediocre?"
Lu Xun's rhetorical question sounded more like a joke to others.
Mi Yang, of course not!
"With Mi Yang's talent, how could he not guess the purpose of my sending Tzuyu to Zhouling?
Now that Mi Yang has guessed it, how can he be as confidant to Tzuyu as he appears to be!"
Lu Xun's words aroused the thinking of General Wu present.
Even Zhuge Jin gradually came back to his senses under the guidance of Lu Xun's words.
"It is true that Mi Yang took the initiative to take Ziyu to inspect the arsenal in Zhouling City.
But if it is true as Mi Yang said, he wants to demonstrate to our army through Ziyu's mouth, why not directly take Ziyu to the military camp to see the military power?
What is he hiding?
This is the first doubt.
Also, if you think about it, don’t you think it was too easy for Ziyu to obtain Mi Yang’s official documents?
Jingbei's military documents are military secrets. With Mi Yang's intelligence, how could he not be prepared at all and let Ziyu get Jingbei's military documents so easily when he knew Tzuyu's intention?
This is doubt point two.
It is not difficult to deduce from these two doubtful points that all this was set up secretly by Mi Yang in order to make our army believe the contents of the official document!"
Lu Xun quickly came to this conclusion in front of all the Wu generals.
After hearing Lu Xun's inference, all the generals present felt that it made sense and nodded unconsciously.
Zhuge Jin even looked ashamed. He didn't expect that he almost got Lu Xun involved in Mi Yang's trick.
However, after being convinced by Lu Xun's inference, the generals soon had a question in their minds.
Bu Zhi raised his hands and asked Lu Xun:
"General, why do you think the thieves want to create suspicion?"
When Bu Zhi asked this question, the smile on Lu Xun's face became even bigger.
"It's not hard to know this.
Anyone who creates doubts does so to prevent others from knowing the reality of one's own side.
Appears to be strong, but is actually weak.
And Mi Yang used the smooth battle in Jingbei as a carefully arranged suspicion formation. Isn't it obvious what his real purpose is?"
When Lu Xun finished speaking, Bu Zhi quickly reacted and said:
"What the general means is that the war situation in Jingbei is actually not good for Mi Yang?"
Faced with Bu Zhi's speculation, Lu Xun gave an affirmative answer.
"Exactly!"
"If the situation in Jingbei's war is favorable to Mi Yang, there is no need for Mi Yang to do anything extra."
Lu Xun was very confident in his judgment.
In addition to the above analysis, there is another objective fact that cannot be ignored.
Mi Yang dared to leave Wancheng and return to Jiangling. This step was indeed a brilliant move, and it did catch him off guard.
But similarly, Mi Yang's move was a bold move after all.
Since it is a bold move, it requires taking a lot of risks.
So what are the risks of Mi Yang doing this?
The reason why Lu Xun thought that Mi Yang would be dragged outside Wancheng by Cao Xiu was because tens of thousands of Tiance elites were outside Wancheng.
Outside Wancheng there is a vast plain, and there is no danger for the Han army to defend it.
If the Han army takes the initiative outside Wancheng, this geography will not be too fatal.
But once the Han army wants to retreat, as we all know, no matter how elite the army is, its rear will be a fatal weakness.
The undefensible terrain, coupled with this fatal weakness, is the greatest danger for the Han army in Jingbei.
Under normal circumstances, in order to reduce this risk, the Han army would have to arrange for a capable general to personally sit at the rear of the army.
But long before sending troops, Lu Xun had conducted a detailed investigation of the list of Jingzhou generals.
Among the generals in Jingzhou, there are many who are slightly famous, such as Deng Ai, Ding Feng, Zhou Tai and others.
But when Chen arrived and had to take charge of Jiangling, and Li Yan was reprimanded, none of the generals in Jingzhou could be called a "general".
Because of this, Lu Xun never thought that Mi Yang would be so bold.
Lu Xun knew that no matter how smart Mi Yang was, he still didn't have the ability to turn stone into gold in an instant.
Under these facts, and the way Mi Yang set up a trap to deceive Zhuge Jin, it was logical for Lu Xun to conclude that the situation in Jingbei was unfavorable to the Han army.
Just when Lu Xun felt confident about his inference, Bu Zhi's questions came one after another:
"What is the purpose of setting up a trap to make our army think that the battle in Jingbei is beneficial to him?"
Bu Zhi once again expressed the question in the mind of Wu General present.
When Bu Zhi asked about this, Lu Xun's eyes sparkled with wisdom and he directly stated Mi Yang's purpose:
"When you all thought that the situation in Jingbei was favorable to the Han army just now, what were you thinking?"
Under Lu Xun's inquiry, General Wu here could not help but think about it.
Their first reaction just now was to panic, but later they felt that Mi Yang would continuously send troops south from Jingbei and completely leave them in Jingnan.
Under this worry, they subconsciously wanted to suggest that Lu Xun should quickly lead his army to break out before the Han army had assembled.
After recalling the thoughts in his mind, Yu Fan seemed to have a clear understanding.
Yu Fan tried to say to Lu Xun:
"The bandits want our army to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible?"
Yu Fan's words made Lu Xun look at him with admiration.
"This is exactly what Mi Yang thinks!
Gentlemen, please do not forget that although our army's retreat is now cut off, our army has brought a large amount of food and grass during this expedition, and the total strength of our army in Jingnan is nearly 100,000.
Although some of the nearly 100,000 troops are currently scattered abroad, how many troops can Mi Yang have in Zhouling under the unfavorable battle situation in Jingbei?
Twenty thousand, thirty thousand, or forty thousand?
With a mere 40,000 Han troops at most, and when our army has sufficient food and grass, it is impossible for Mi Yang to defeat us in a short time."
When he said the last sentence, Lu Xun revealed strong confidence.
No matter how great your ambition is, it must be based on hard power.
Judging from the current actual situation, as long as his own army does not mess up its position and gradually shrink its defense line, Mi Yang will be helpless against them for the time being.
"Mi Yang knows this.
That's why he devised a plan and wanted our army to be in chaos.
Once I give the order for the entire army to break out of the encirclement, many of our troops are now scattered and cannot gather their strength, which will greatly reduce the threat to the Han army when our army breaks through.
Coupled with the panic of being cut off from the retreat, our army will inevitably scramble to be the first to break through, and may even be unable to carry a large amount of weapons and baggage.
On the way from the police to Zhouling, there are many densely forested areas, which is suitable for the Han army to set up ambushes to block the attack.
Under all kinds of disadvantages, the weakness of the Han army's small number of troops will be infinitely reduced, and the damage suffered by our army when breaking through will be infinitely amplified.
By then, who can guarantee that he will be able to return to Jiangdong safely?
Most of you have read history books, and you will definitely not forget the fate of Zhao Jun in the Battle of Changping."
Lu Xun's words made all the Wu generals present take a breath.
After not seeing each other for so many years, Mi Yang's thoughts have become more and more vicious!
