Chapter 785: Duplicity and eloquence
Because Mi Yang had a plan in mind, he finally agreed to Dong Yun's request.
The next day, Mi Yang sent Dong Yun as an envoy to Lü Dai's army.
Before Dong Yun left, Mi Yang held Dong Yun's hand and said:
"Duke Lu Ding has his own reputation, but he is no match for me.
I also heard that their army is in disarray and they are ill. If they do not surrender their troops to me, once I strike, there will be casualties, and I will have no control over it.
You may go and make my intention known to you.
If Duke Lu Ding can be persuaded, you can make the decision yourself.
If Duke Lu Ding is stubborn and unyielding, you can return slowly to the west, and I will punish him with my own weapons."
When Mi Yang said this, his voice was full of confidence.
Mi Yang's self-confidence gave Dong Yun great confidence.
Dong Yun bowed to Mi Yang and said:
"Please wait for good news, Sima."
After saying this, Dong Yun took a few followers and rode on a small boat towards Lu Dai's army.
The boat is light and incredibly fast.
Dong Yun set out early in the morning, and it took him less than a day to arrive outside the port where the Wu army was stationed in the evening.
Although the Wu army is in a panic at the moment, its hard power is still strong.
When the boat under Dong Yun's feet stopped steadily, Dong Yun saw dozens of tall and magnificent ships standing on the water in front of him.
Those dozens of warships were like ancient giants in the water, silently guarding the safety of the Wu army in the port.
Each of the tower ships is more than ten feet long.
Dong Yun grew up in Shu. How could he have ever seen such a breathtaking king of the water?
What's more, compared with the magnificent building ship in front of them, the small boat that Dong Yun was riding on 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 do it in an open and aboveboard manner and sent him here in the name of an envoy.
In terms of status, I can be considered a famous scholar in Shu.
Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Dai was determined to be a loyal minister of Sun Quan, he would not easily endanger his own life.
In addition, with the previous experience of Wang Hong, at a time when the morale of the Wu army is unstable, other Wu generals will not easily harm him.
Dong Yun was grateful for Yu Mi Yang's love and respect for him. In order not to let Mi Yang down, regardless of whether the goal could be achieved this time, he at least could not lose the demeanor of being Mi Yang's envoy.
As early as Dong Yun entered the alert range of the Wu army scouts, a scout promptly delivered the news of Dong Yun's arrival to Lu Dai's ears.
Lu Dai, who had just finished a bowl of medicine, was very surprised to hear that Mi Yang had sent an envoy to see him.
Is this what the saying goes, when you feel sleepy the pillow will appear?
The sudden reaction in his mind scared Lu Dai.
Lu Dai shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the "terrible" thoughts in his mind.
"not see!"
In front of the scouts, Lu Dai immediately expressed his attitude clearly.
Although the apparent reason for Dong Yun's mission was to discuss the matter of Wu army prisoners with Lu Dai on his behalf.
In the ambush 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 the moment, Lü Dai was the Wu general closest to Mi Yang. It seemed reasonable for Mi Yang to send Dong Yun to discuss with Lü Dai how to deal with the Wu prisoners of war.
However, Lu Dai has lived for so many years, how could he not see the trick?
In Lu Dai's opinion, Mi Yang has always been a scheming person, and the purpose of him sending Dong Yun here is definitely not simple.
Lu Dai also knew that what he could guess might be possible for others to guess.
He had already been suspected by the generals before, and at this sensitive time, Lu Dai thought there was no need to bring trouble upon 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 that there was no one around, so he said to Lu Juyan who was standing beside him:
“Go out privately and stop Dong Yun when no one is around.
Wait until dark, and then bring him back to his father."
Lu Dai's order made Lu Ju stunned.
Lu Ju stood up and looked, and could still see the scout's back as he left.
The person hasn't even gone away yet, but my father has changed so quickly!
Seeing that Lu Dai was somewhat surprised, Lu Dai said in a low voice:
"Go quickly!"
Judging from the tone, Lu Dai was a little anxious.
At Lu Dai's urging, Lu Ju hurriedly walked out.
However, Lu Ju's hurried pace aroused Lu Dai's dissatisfaction.
"Be secretive, secretive!"
Young people are young people after all, and they are seriously lacking in experience!
The scout who received Lü Dai's order reported Lü Dai's attitude to Dong Yun truthfully after returning to him.
Lu Dai's refusal to meet made the followers behind Dong Yun look disappointed.
Even though their husbands are eloquent, Lu Dai refuses to see them. What can he do?
However, after hearing Lu Dai's attitude, Dong Yun seemed quite calm.
They all come from aristocratic families, so he understands some unspoken rules.
Under the eyes of the scouts, Dong Yun ordered the boat to return along the same route.
But after noticing the scouts had returned, Dong Yun ordered the ships to sail slower.
Dong Yun's followers didn't understand his intention, but they still did as he was told.
When the ship slowed down and was almost stopping, Dong Yun returned to the cabin and closed his eyes to rest.
Dong Yun couldn't be sure whether his waiting would bear fruit.
It doesn't matter if there is no result.
Before coming, Mi Yang made it very clear: If Lu Dai didn't want to be decent, he would help him to be decent.
Fortunately, Lu Dai, who was also from a noble family, did not disappoint Dong Yun.
At a remote water stream, Lu Ju, who had almost wrapped his entire body, finally stopped Dong Yun.
"Messenger, my father wants to see you!"
Night falls quickly.
When the port where the Wu army was stationed was submerged in the dim starlight, Lü Ju and Dong Yun secretly came to the outside of Lü Dai's residence.
Before entering Lu Dai's residence, Lu Ju observed for a long time. After seeing that there were really no other spies around, he brought Dong Yun to Lu Dai with confidence.
Seeing that Lu Ju returned safely, Lu Dai's eyes were filled with joy.
What’s important is that when Lu Dai saw Dong Yun, the joy in his eyes became even more intense.
However, Lu Dai, who was getting older and more shrewd, hid his joy very deeply.
Lu Dai first asked Dong Yun to sit down, then he sat opposite Dong Yun and said:
"People's words are scary, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort and wrong the envoy."
In response to 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:
"How do you think your military strategy compares to Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Lu Meng and others?"
Dong Yun's directness made Lu Dai frown.
In a private meeting, it is crucial who takes the initiative in the conversation.
It was obvious that Dong Yun's directness was intended to wrest the initiative in speech from him.
But soon Lu Dai's brows relaxed again.
Due to Dong Yun's status and his own confidence, Lu Dai planned to retreat in order to advance.
Lü Dai answered sincerely, "Not enough."
After answering Dong Yun, Lu Dai was about to ask again, but unexpectedly:
Dong Yun asked Lü Dai again:
"How many brave and wise men are there in your command? Are their weapons of high quality? Is the morale of the troops high?
Which of these three is better than our army? "
Lu Dai was really a little angry now.
Dong Yun doesn't look very old. How dare a junior like him be so aggressive?
Do you understand, dear elders?
The angry Lu Dai was about to slam the table and stand up to teach Dong Yun a lesson, but under the dim light, Lu Dai's cloudy eyes suddenly caught sight of the scepter behind Dong Yun.
On the staff, there was a pattern of a white deer with four hooves in the air.
Wow, so dazzling!
After seeing the scepter, Lu Dai raised his butt a few inches and then sat down suddenly.
"Maybe."
Lu Dai, who had no temper, could only answer Dong Yun's question honestly again.
Seeing that both questions had received satisfactory answers, Dong Yun quickly struck while the iron was hot and said:
"General Tiance is a man of unparalleled wisdom and strategy, and a master of military tactics. You must have heard of his heroic deeds in Guanzhong, and you have heard of his heroic deeds in Chaisang in the east.
Now, because of Sun Quan's foolish edict, you abandoned Yong'an and wandered along the river bank. Do you think that the surging river can stop our army's iron hooves?
Knowing that you cannot win, you don't take action early and regret it now.
Today, I am advocating benevolence and justice, and I do not wish to commit more crimes. If you still persist in your wrongdoings, once I return, the Heavenly Strategy will be angry, and the Yangtze River will stop flowing."
After Dong Yun finished speaking, he looked straight at Lu Dai.
After hearing Dong Yun's words, Lu Dai was really shocked by Dong Yun.
Young man, do you have to be so direct?
Don't you want to transition first?
No matter how shocking it is, Lu Dai is not an ordinary person after all.
“I admit that your dynasty’s Grand Marshal is a rare hero.
However, I have been through many ups and downs for decades. If the envoy wants to make me surrender with just a few threats, I am afraid I will disappoint the envoy. "
"Although our army is currently unstable, we have the advantage of boats and ships. I don't think the Grand Marshal will be able to annihilate our army in a short time.
Lu Fan's troops will arrive outside Chaisang City in at most half a month.
Lu Xun's 100,000 elite troops are expected to take action soon, not to mention the Grand Marshal's enemies, there are also tens of thousands of Wei troops in northern Jing.
The advantage of the terrain is in our hands. If we keep moving, no matter how talented your Grand Marshal is, how can he conquer Jiangdong?"
Lu Dai slowly stated his judgment.
After listening to Lu Dai's judgment, Dong Yun lowered his head and began to think.
Before coming here, Dong Yun didn't know Lu Dai very well.
After talking with Lu Dai face to face, Dong Yun realized that this old man was really difficult to deal with.
Dong Yun initially thought that his threats would scare Lü Dai into submission, but he did not expect that Lü Dai would indeed panic because of his threats, but he quickly regained his composure.
But Lu Dai is an old man with great wisdom, and Dong Yun, a young man, are they easy to get along with?
If others listened to Lu Dai's words, they might feel that the situation was 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 demonstrate his own importance, how can Lu Dai seek maximum benefits?
Okay, okay, that's how we want to play it, right?
Dong Yun will accompany you tonight!
"Sun Quan succeeded to the throne and was extremely arrogant. He exploited the people and poisoned wise men.
Before Yun came, he had heard that Sun Quan was suspicious of the general.
Yun tried to analyze the situation for the general. Given Sun Quan's character, what would be the general's fate?
Strip him of his power? Imprison him? Or behead him in Jianye!"
As soon as Dong Yun finished speaking, Lu Dai's face changed drastically.
A look of surprise and doubt appeared on Lu Dai's face in an instant.
There are Han army spies around him!
