Chapter 791: Secrets passed on at night, please enter the jar
In winter, the daytime always goes by very quickly.
Unknowingly, after the unknown wave of Han troops dumped soil into the moat, night gradually enveloped the outside of Chaisang City.
As night fell, the sound of gold also sounded in the Han army camp.
Tens of thousands of Han troops retreated toward the rear like a tide.
The retreat of the Han army did not make Quan Cong on the city wall happy.
On the contrary, Quan Cong's face was filled with solemnity.
Quan Cong knew that the Han army's offensive would be even more fierce on the second day.
Quan Cong now only hopes that the two supporting armies on the Yangtze River can land ashore as soon as possible and form a rivalry with him.
otherwise...
Thinking of the worst possible outcome, Quan Cong ordered people to light torches on the city wall at night.
Many torches are particularly dazzling in the night sky, and those torches are rising and falling with a unique rhythm. This is a way for Wu Jun to convey messages to the outside world.
The information released by Quan Cong will naturally be delivered to Lu Fan soon.
In order to appease Quan Cong, Lu Fan also ordered people to deliver messages with torches, telling Quan Cong that he would launch a general offensive tomorrow.
Originally, even if the Han army noticed the dancing torches of the two armies, how could outsiders know the secrets among the Wu army's senior generals under ordinary circumstances?
Mi Yang didn't know it at first.
Until he looked at the man behind him:
"Do you know what message Lu Fan and Quan Cong are conveying?"
After hearing Mi Yang's inquiry, the man quickly answered:
"Quan Cong is asking Lu Fan for help, and Lu Fan is telling him that he will launch a general offensive tomorrow."
This man is none other than Lu Kai, Lu Dai’s son.
The war was about to begin, and in order to show his loyalty, Lu Dai secretly sent Lu Kai to Mi Yang as a hostage.
As Lu Dai's son, it's not surprising that Lu Kai knows this.
After listening to Lu Kai's explanation, Mi Yang suddenly realized.
But soon, an idea appeared in Mi Yang's mind.
Mi Yang looked at Lu Kai several times with caring eyes.
Lu Kai felt a little chilled by the sight.
From Mi Yang's eyes, Lu Kai realized that Mi Yang didn't just want to care about him.
Lu Kai's intuition was right.
After looking at Lu Kai for a long time, Mi Yang asked:
"You just joined the army, but you usually feel bored?"
Lu Kai didn't expect that Mi Yang was concerned about this.
Thinking about how he was still feeling uneasy when he first came to the Han army camp, how could he be bored?
Lu Kai was about to deny it, but Mi Yang didn't give Lu Kai a chance to speak.
"I guess you'll be bored."
Mi Yang's tone was very decisive.
Lu Kai:???
Before Lu Kai could react, Mi Yang immediately continued:
"In order to relieve your depression, I have a task for you.
Since you know Wu Jun's various secret codes very well, why don't you write them down on paper one by one during this period.
The orphan will order someone to bind what you wrote into a book."
Mi Yang had this idea, not just on a whim.
Many people may have forgotten that a few years ago, after Mi Yang forced Xu Xiang to surrender, he asked him to write down his knowledge of various Wu generals on paper, and finally compiled them into a book.
That book secretly helped Mi Yang a lot.
Since there is an excellent precedent, Mi Yang has no reason not to continue to act.
As for whether Lu Kai is willing?
Just like Xu Xiang back then, Mi Yang was not worried at all.
Sure enough, Mi Yang's sudden request was beyond Lu Kai's expectation.
But when he thought that his future destiny would depend on Mi Yang, Lu Kai finally agreed naturally.
After asking Ding Feng to take Lu Kai down, Mi Yang thought of the intelligence he had just received and ordered the governors to discuss matters in his tent.
Catch the turtle in the urn, tomorrow!
...
The next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Lu Fan put on his armor under the service of his son Lu Ju.
Looking at himself with white hair in the bronze mirror, Lu Fan couldn't help but sigh that time is fleeting.
It seemed that in a matter of seconds, the handsome young man in the past became an old man half-broken into the earth.
"My father has been dreaming about Bo Fu and Gong Jin lately.
Do you think my father will see them soon?"
As soon as Lu Fan expressed his emotion, he aroused dissatisfaction from Lu Ju behind him.
Lu Ju discovered that Lu Fan had often expressed emotions for no reason recently, and most of those emotions were unlucky.
"My father is in his prime!
Now that the war is about to begin, my father should encourage his spirit, so why are he speaking sadly?"
Lu Ju's dissatisfaction made Lu Fan laugh heartily.
Although he doesn't have many living friends anymore, fortunately he has a loyal and filial child.
After Lu Fan personally brought the bag for himself, he turned around and looked at Lu Zheng and said:
"For today's battle, although my father has already planned it, he has a high chance of victory.
But Mi Yang is a very human being, and Tian Cejun has always been good at fighting, so he is not completely confident as a father.
If you can win as a father today, then it will be a great thing.
If defeated...
You listen to my father, fighting for life and death on the battlefield is normal, don't think about seeking revenge from the Han army in the future."
After saying these words, Lu Fan saw that Lu Ju's expression was not good, so he quickly changed his tone:
"Of course, my father is still very confident about today's battle.
After all, even if I fail to land as a father, my life will be safe."
After hearing Lu Fan change his tone, Lu Zhi had a look of helplessness on his face.
His father was always like this, always thinking about the worst possible outcome before a war.
It's really a bit unfounded.
Fortunately, I had seen him many times before, so Lu Zheng didn't pay much attention to it.
"The son is on the boat, wishing his father a victorious return!"
As always, Lu Ju sent his blessings to Lu Fan.
After receiving Lu Ju's blessing, Lu Fan left the room with a look of relief and went to the attic where the discussion was held.
Before Lu Fan arrived, the attic was already filled with generals.
When the generals saw Lu Fan arriving, they did not say anything. They just stood up silently and bowed to greet him.
Lu Fan did not respond with words. After gently waving his hand to excuse himself, he walked to the main seat and sat down.
As Lu Fan took his seat, the attic fell into dullness again.
Lu Fan and other Wu generals are waiting for the news they want to hear.
Waiting can sometimes be a very anxious thing, especially before such an important battle.
Fortunately, their wait was not in vain.
About an hour later, two messages were sent into the attic one after another.
"Report: Just like yesterday, the Han army launched a fierce attack on Chaisang."
"Report: General Lu Dai has ordered his troops to attack the lower reaches!"
When these two pieces of news were heard in the attic, some Wu generals' breathing became rapid.
Things are developing step by step as Lu Fan imagined.
But Lu Fan still closed his eyes tightly, motionless as a mountain.
until:
"Report: Thousands of Han troops are rushing out of the port and heading downstream!"
After hearing the news, Lu Fan, who had fallen asleep in a daze, suddenly woke up.
Lu Fan's eyes suddenly opened. There was no cloudiness in his eyes, only endless fighting spirit.
