Unsurprisingly, when Lu Dai received Mi Yang's "Essay on Defeating Wu", he made a rational decision.
Under Lu Dai's order, more than 20,000 elite Soochow navy troops turned to a port dozens of miles away from Chaisang to dock.
Lu Dai suddenly issued this order, which will definitely cause confusion among the entire army and many generals.
Under the influence of Sun Quan's previous edict, many generals in the army had doubts about Lu Dai.
Doubts and confusion naturally led many generals to find Lu Dai - and the leader was Sun Quan's envoy Zhou Li.
"General, Chai Sang is so close, why are you so afraid of the enemy?"
Zhou Li knew the importance of personality, so his tone was quite stern in front of the generals.
Looking at Zhou Li who was standing in front of him questioning him, Lu Dai was not unhappy with him at all.
When he fainted, Zhou Li was the only person who took the initiative to visit him. Lu Dai was not a heartless person.
But when he looked at the generals behind Zhou Li, Lu Dai still couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Why?"
Lu Dai directly took out Mi Yang's "Essay on Defeating Wu" from his arms and asked Lu Ju to deliver it to Zhou Li.
When Zhou Li just received the message, he still had a curious look on his face.
After reading the contents of the message in his hand, Zhou Li's face instantly turned red.
His beloved Lord is actually in Chaisang?!
Because Mi Yang's arrival at Chaisang was a top secret, not even Zhou Li had known about it in advance.
More importantly, after reading the contents of the memorandum in his hand, Zhou Li was filled with excitement and at the same time he had a profound understanding of Mi Yang's firm determination.
What are you most afraid of?
Most afraid of being abandoned.
Compared with the words of comfort, Mi Yang's actions made Zhou Li feel more at ease.
Dog-footed Wu should be exterminated as soon as possible!
Of course, no matter how excited he is, Zhou Li knows that his great cause has not yet been accomplished, and he still needs to be patient for now.
Therefore, after quickly calming down his mood, Zhou Li quickly shouted in a panic tone:
"What? The bandit is actually in Chaisang!
What? The thieves actually want to destroy Wu!"
Zhou Li's tone was too high-pitched, so high that his voice changed a bit at the end, making him appear sharp and harsh.
And this was done deliberately by Zhou Li.
Panic is contagious.
Sure enough, under Zhou Li's two exclamations, all the generals behind him were stunned on the spot.
Mi Yang's reputation in Jiangdong is extraordinary.
Although several years have passed since the Battle of Public Security, after several battles this year, Mi Yang's reputation in the hearts of the Wu generals has not weakened at all, but has intensified a lot.
Recalling that a few months ago, many Wu generals saw Lu Xun's expedition and thought that Jingzhou was within easy reach.
But now?
It's another matter whether Jingzhou can win or not, but our Chai Sang is about to be lost!
Obviously before the war, the situation seemed to be favorable to their side in every aspect, but they were still forced to this point by Mi Yang.
Mi Yang's strategies and methods were enough to scare many Wu generals.
Now many Wu generals heard that a person they were very afraid of suddenly appeared behind them and openly shouted slogans to destroy Wu. How could this not make their thoughts go into a downturn for a moment?
Panic is the best portrayal of the hearts of many Wu generals at this time.
Fortunately, the Wu generals' panic did not last long.
"According to reliable information, General He Qi has been killed in battle!"
Lu Dai suddenly spat out this sentence.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, Lu Dai did not know how He Qi was defeated and died in Mi Yang's hands.
And sometimes the unknown can more easily cause people to panic.
He Qi is not just a cat or a dog. In terms of status and reputation, he is currently one of the top five famous generals in the Soochow Dynasty!
Many Wu generals even knew that He Qi had almost never been defeated in the past!
Such a powerful and famous general met Mi Yang and ended up with his entire army wiped out and his head missing?
What about them?
Subconsciously, many Wu generals were so frightened that they took a breath of cold air.
"this…"
"us…"
Some Wu generals even began to tremble when they spoke.
If Sun Quan's edict hadn't been suppressed there, someone might have suggested retreating on the spot to temporarily avoid Mi Yang's attack.
Seeing the terrified expressions of the generals in front of him, Lu Dai sighed repeatedly.
With this military spirit, how can we fight against the powerful Han army?
Lu Dai had no other words to say. He raised his somewhat rickety body and slowly left the attic.
What Lu Dai didn't know was that his lonely and helpless back had all fallen into Zhou Li's eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Yi remembered what Zhou Yi had reported to him before.
The Lord is here in person, how can we offer something disrespectfully?
…
When Mi Yang came to Chaisang in person, He Qi died in battle, and the three major pieces of news, "Essay on Defeating Wu", spread among the army, more than 20,000 Wu troops fell into panic.
Unable to retreat and unable to advance, this is the situation facing the more than 20,000 Wu troops now.
In this contradictory situation, the entire army supported Lu Dai's approach of standing still.
At least until Lu Fan's reinforcements arrived, more than 20,000 Wu troops did not want to enter Chaisang's territory.
Taking advantage of the unrest in the entire army, Zhou Yi followed Zhou Yi's orders and sneaked outside Chaisang City under the cover of night.
With the help of special communication channels, the news of Zhou Yi's arrival was quickly delivered to Mi Yang's ears.
Hearing that Zhou Yi wanted to see him, Mi Yang asked Jiang Ji to bring him in.
When Zhou Yi came to Mi Yang's side, he respectfully took out Zhou Li's secret letter from his arms and presented it to Mi Yang.
After receiving the secret message, Mi Yang unfolded it and read it.
Mi Yang was eating beef, but as his eyes moved on the secret letter, Mi Yang suddenly felt that the beef in his hand was no longer fragrant.
Real man, what's the point of eating beef?
If you want to eat, you should eat tens of thousands of enemy troops!
"Call Dong Qing!"
Mi Yang quickly put down the knife in his hand and gave instructions to Jiang Ji.
Seeing the joy on Mi Yang's face, Jiang Ji knew that the matter was of great importance, and soon he brought Dong Yun to him.
After Dong Yun arrived, Mi Yang handed over the secret letters in his hand to him and Jiang Ji for reading.
Dong Yun first read the contents of the secret letter. After reading it, Dong Yun couldn't help but said with great joy:
"God is really helping the Great Sima. If Zhou Li's words are correct, the situation west of Chaisang will be determined overnight!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Compared with Dong Yun's joy, Jiang Ji seemed more cautious.
"I think most of what Zhou Li said are just guesses, and he is still unable to determine Lu Dai's intentions.
Our army is now stationed outside Chaisang City, and Lu Dai has retreated. Whether our army can capture him or not, it doesn't matter.
I think there is no need to take risks."
What Zhou Li said in the secret letter was that he noticed that Lu Dai seemed to have the idea of betraying Sun Quan, and hoped that Mi Yang would take advantage of this.
At first glance, Zhou Li's suggestion sounded good, but Jiang Ji didn't dare to believe people like Zhou Li.
In addition, if Mi Yang really wanted to persuade Lu Dai to surrender, then the envoy sent must have an identity and have a close relationship with Mi Yang, so as to win Lu Dai's trust.
But once this person is sent, his life or death will depend on Lu Dai's thoughts.
Jiang Ji's prudent suggestion made Mi Yang look thoughtful.
After seeing Mi Yang's hesitation, Dong Yun decisively recommended himself:
"In the past, the horse and the horse were under the control of Zhang Lu, and they were depressed and frustrated.
The late emperor heard this and sent De'ang to persuade him.
De'ang went there with great righteousness, and the horses and horses were willing to abandon the darkness and join the light.
How could Zitong know that the Lu Dai of today is definitely not the horse-rider of the past?
If De'ang can do it, I can do it too!"
Dong Yun looked firm and asked himself to be the envoy.
Facing Dong Yun's self-recommendation, Jiang Ji still had concerns.
But Jiang Ji didn't want to refute Dong Yun directly. He looked at Mi Yang and said:
"Back then, Grand Sima once said that Lu Dai would be a thief if he did not die in old age."
Jiang Ji's remonstrance was quite tactful. He was reminding Mi Yang that Lu Dai was scheming and some things might have been done intentionally by him.
After listening to Jiang Ji's reminder, Mi Yang did have a cautious look on her face.
But what Jiang Ji didn't expect was what Mi Yang said next:
"That's what I said.
However, it is a tradition of the Han Dynasty to respect and love the elders.
Don't always shout about beating or killing the elderly.
Otherwise, you will look lonely and cruel."
Mi Yang's words immediately stunned Jiang Ji.
While Jiang Ji was speechless, Dong Yun was overjoyed.
Mi Yang's implication is that he is willing to give Lu Dai a chance.
Similarly, this is also the opportunity Mi Yang gave him!
