Chapter 784: Duplicity and a clever tongue like a sword
Because Mi Yang had a plan in mind, Mi Yang finally agreed to Dong Yun's request.
The next day, Mi Yang took Dong Yun as his envoy and asked him to go to Lu Dai's army.
Before Dong Yun left, Mi Yang held Dong Yun's hand and said:
"Lü Dinggong has his own reputation, but he is not our enemy.
I also heard that his army is distracted and ill. If he does not surrender his army, my golden drum will vibrate, and there will be dead and wounded in the sky. I have no control over it.
You may go and declare my intention.
If Lu Dinggong can advise, you can make your own decision.
If Lu Dinggong is stubborn and unresponsive, you can slowly return to the west, and I will punish him with my own weapons."
When Mi Yang said these words, his words were full of confidence.
Mi Yang's self-confidence gave Dong Yun great confidence.
Dong Yun bowed to Mi Yang and said:
"Please wait patiently for the good news, Grand Sima."
After saying this, Dong Yun took a few followers and headed towards Lu Dai's army in a small boat.
The boat is light and extremely fast.
Dong Yun set out in the early morning, and it took him less than a day to arrive outside the port where the Wu army was stationed in the evening.
Although people in Wu Jun are panicking at the moment, Wu Jun's hard power is still strong.
When the boat under Dong Yun's feet came to a stop, Dong Yun saw dozens of tall and spectacular ships standing on the water in front of him.
Those dozens of large ships were like ancient giants in the water, silently guarding the safety of the Wu army in the port.
Each building boat is more than ten feet long.
Dong Yun grew up in Shu, but had he never seen such a breathtaking King of Water?
What's more, compared to the magnificent building boat in front of him, the small boat Dong Yun was riding in seemed so small.
But even so, there was never a trace of fear on Dong Yun's face.
Dong Yun knew why Mi Yang wanted to be upright and sent him here as an envoy.
In terms of status, I am considered a famous scholar in Shu.
Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Dai made up his mind to be Sun Quan's loyal minister, he would not kill himself easily.
In addition, with Wang Hong's past experience, when Wu Jun's heart is in doubt, other Wu generals will not attack him easily.
Dong Yun thanked Yu Mi Yang for his painstaking efforts in loving him. In order to live up to Mi Yang's love and respect, regardless of whether his purpose was successful or not, at least he could not lose his magnanimity as Mi Yang's envoy.
As early as Dong Yun entered the warning range of Wu Jun's scouts, the scouts promptly sent the news of Dong Yun's arrival to Lu Dai's ears.
Lu Dai, who had just finished a bowl of soup, was very surprised when he heard that Mi Yang sent an envoy to see him.
This is what the saying goes, when you feel like dozing off, the pillow comes right away?
The reaction that suddenly appeared in his heart shocked Lu Dai.
Lu Dai shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the "terrible" thoughts in his heart.
"not see!"
In front of the scouts, Lu Dai immediately expressed his attitude clearly.
Although Dong Yun's apparent reason for coming as an envoy was to negotiate with Lu Dai on Mi Yang's behalf about the Wu army's prisoners.
In the ambush battle a few days ago, most of He Qi's soldiers died outside Chaisang City, but some soldiers were lucky enough to escape and were captured by the Han army.
At present, Lu Dai is the Wu general who is closest to Mi Yang. From a logical point of view, it seems reasonable for Mi Yang to send Dong Yun to discuss with Lu Dai how to deal with the Wu army prisoners.
Even though Lu Dai has lived for so many years, how could he not see the fishiness in it?
In Lu Dai's opinion, Mi Yang has always been very scheming, and his purpose of sending Dong Yun here is definitely not simple.
Lu Dai also knew that what he could guess might not be guessable by others.
He had already been suspected by the generals before. At this sensitive time, Lu Dai felt that there was no need to cause trouble for himself in public.
After receiving Lu Dai's order, the scout left Lu Dai's presence.
What the scout didn't know was that after he left, Lu Dai saw no one else around, so he said to Lu Ju beside him:
"You go out privately and stop Dong Yun when no one is around.
Wait until it gets dark and then bring him to his father."
Lu Dai's order immediately stunned Lu Ju.
Lu Ju stood up and took a look, and he could still see a little bit of the scout's leaving figure.
We haven't gone far enough yet, but my father has changed too quickly!
Seeing that Lu Dai was a little surprised, Lu Dai scolded:
"Go quickly!"
Listening to the tone, Lu Dai was a little anxious.
Under Lu Dai's urging, Lu Ju quickly stepped out and walked out.
Lu Zheng's hasty pace aroused Lu Dai's dissatisfaction.
"Be secretive, secretive!"
Young people are young people after all, and they have a serious lack of experience!
...
The scout who received Lu Dai's order responded to Dong Yun truthfully as Lu Dai did before returning to Dong Yun.
Lu Dai's refusal to meet Dong Yun made several of Dong Yun's entourage look disappointed on their faces.
Even though their husband was eloquent and eloquent, Lu Dai never saw him. What could he do?
But Dong Yun seemed quite calm after hearing Lu Dai's attitude.
They all come from aristocratic families, so he knows some unspoken rules...
In the eyes of the scouts, Dong Yun ordered the boat to return the same way.
But after noticing that the scouts had returned, Dong Yun ordered the ships to move slower.
Dong Yun's followers didn't understand his intention, but they still obeyed him honestly.
When the ship slowed down and almost stopped, Dong Yun returned to the cabin and closed his eyes to rest.
Dong Yun was not sure whether his waiting would bear fruit.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out.
Mi Yang made it very clear before coming here: If Lu Dai doesn't want to be decent, he will help him do so.
Fortunately, Lu Dai, who was also from a distinguished family, did not disappoint Dong Yun.
At a remote water stream, Lu Ju, who was almost completely wrapped up, finally stopped Dong Yun.
"Messenger, my father has invited you!"
...
Night falls quickly.
When the port where the Wu army was stationed was submerged in the looming starlight, Lu Ju secretly took Dong Yun to Lu Dai's residence.
Before entering Lu Dai's residence, Lu Ju observed for a long time, and after seeing that there was really no one around him, he safely brought Dong Yun to Lu Dai.
Seeing Lu Ju's successful return, Lu Dai's eyes were filled with joy.
The important thing is that when Lu Dai saw Dong Yun, the joy in his eyes became more intense.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the old and hot-tempered Lu Dai hid his joy deeply.
Lu Dai first asked Dong Yun to sit down, then he sat opposite Dong Yun and said:
"People's words are terrible, so I can't take such a trick and wrong the envoy."
Facing Lu Dai's apology, Dong Yun bowed slightly to show that he didn't care.
Just when Lu Dai wanted to ask further, Dong Yun asked first:
"You know your own strategy, which one is better than Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Lu Meng and others?"
Dong Yun's directness made Lu Dai frown.
When meeting privately, it is crucial which party takes the initiative in the conversation.
It was obvious that Dong Yun's directness was to compete with him for the initiative in speaking.
But soon Lu Dai's brows relaxed again.
Due to Dong Yun's status and his confidence in himself, Lu Dai planned to retreat in order to advance.
Lu Dai replied sincerely: "It's not as good as that."
After answering Dong Yun, Lu Dai was about to ask again, but unexpectedly:
Dong Yun'er asked Lu Dai:
"The general's army is brave and resourceful. How many wise men are there? Are their weapons and weapons good? Are their military morale high?"
Which of these three is our army?"
Lu Dai was really a little angry now.
Seeing that Dong Yun is not very young, how dare a junior to be so aggressive all the time?
Do you understand respecting and loving the elderly?
The angry Lu Dai was about to start a fight and teach Dong Yun this truth. However, under the dim light, Lu Dai's cloudy eyes suddenly caught sight of the scepter behind Dong Yun.
On the scepter, there is a pattern of a white deer with four hooves in the air.
Wow, so dazzling!
After seeing the staff, Lu Dai just raised his butt a few inches and suddenly sat down again.
"It's not as good as that."
Lu Dai, who had no temper, could only answer Dong Yun's questions honestly again.
Seeing that both questions received satisfactory answers, Dong Yun quickly said while the iron was hot:
"General Tiance's wisdom and strategy are unparalleled, his military skills are like gods, the majestic wind in Guanzhong is heard by your ears, and the Chaisang earthquake in the east is heard by you personally.
Now that you have abandoned the defense of Yong'an because of Sun Quan's imperial edict, you are wandering around the river bank. Do you think that the surging river water can stop the iron hoofs of our army?
If you know you are outnumbered and don't plan ahead, you will regret that you are too late.
Today's policy is benevolent and righteous, and we do not want to commit more evil crimes. If you still persist in your stubbornness and your servant returns, the emperor will be angry and the Yangtze River will stop flowing."
After Dong Yun finished speaking, he looked straight at Lu Dai.
After listening to Dong Yun's words, Lu Dai was really shocked by Dong Yun.
Young man, do you want to be so direct?
Don’t you want to make a transition first?
But I was shocked to find out that Lu Dai was not an ordinary person after all.
"I admit that the great Sima of your dynasty is an unparalleled hero.
However, I have been through ups and downs for decades, and if the envoy just wants to make me bow down and surrender with a few words of intimidation, I am afraid I will let the envoy down."
"Although our army's morale is unstable at the moment, our army has the advantage of boats. It is expected that Da Sima will not be able to annihilate our army in a short time.
Lu Fan's troops will arrive outside Chaisang City in half a month at most.
Lu Xun has one hundred thousand elite troops, and I think there will be some action in the near future, not to mention Da Sima's enemies, and there are tens of thousands of Wei troops in northern Jing.
After all, the geographical advantage is in the hands of our army. If the time continues to move, no matter how talented the great lord of the dynasty is, how can he swallow up the east of the Yangtze River?"
Lu Dai slowly expressed his judgment.
After hearing Lu Dai's judgment, Dong Yun lowered his head and pondered.
Dong Yun did not know Lu Dai well before coming here.
After talking to Lu Dai face to face, Dong Yun realized that the old man in front of him was really difficult to deal with.
Dong Yun initially thought that Lu Dai would be frightened into submission by his threatening words. Unexpectedly, Lu Dai was indeed panicked by his threats, but he quickly regained his composure.
But Lu Dai is an old strategist, and is this young man Dong Yun easy to get along with?
Listening to Lu Dai's words, others may feel that the situation is not so optimistic for the Han army.
But Dong Yun knew that the reason why Lu Dai said those words was essentially to show his importance.
If he cannot reflect his own importance, how can Lu Dai seek to maximize his interests?
Okay, okay, you want to play like this, right?
He, Dong Yun, will accompany you to the end tonight!
"Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, was arrogant and unruly, exploited Guizhou and Li, and poisoned the wise men.
Before Yun came, he had heard that Sun Quan was already suspicious of the general.
Yun tried to analyze it for the general. With Sun Quan's character, what would be the general's fate?
Reduced power? Imprisoned? Or beheaded in Jianye!"
As soon as Dong Yun finished speaking, Lu Dai's face changed drastically.
A look of surprise appeared on Lu Dai's face instantly.
