Chapter 784: I can also go to Huaiyi to persuade the wise
As expected, when Lu Dai received Mi Yang's "Exhortation to Attack Wu", he made a rational decision.
Under Lu Dai's command, more than 20,000 elite naval forces of the Eastern Wu turned to a port dozens of miles away from Chaisang and docked.
Lu Dai's sudden order would certainly cause confusion among many officers and soldiers in the army.
Under the influence of Sun Quan's previous edict, many generals in the army were already suspicious of Lu Dai.
Doubts and confusion naturally led many generals to find Lu Dai - the leader was none other than Sun Quan's envoy Zhou Cang.
"General, Chaisang is within reach, why are you afraid of the enemy and not moving forward?"
Zhou Qian was well aware of the importance of personal image, so his tone was quite stern in front of the generals.
Looking at Zhou Qian who was standing in front of him and questioning him, Lu Dai did not feel displeased towards him at all.
When he fainted, Zhou Cang 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 Qian, Lu Dai couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Why?"
Lu Dai directly took out Mi Yang's "Exhortation to Attack Wu" from his arms and asked Lu Ju to deliver it to Zhou Cang.
When Zhou Qian just took over the manifesto, there was still a look of curiosity on his face.
After reading the contents of the manifesto in his hand, Zhou Qian's face turned red instantly.
His beloved master was actually in Chaisang? !
Because Mi Yang's arrival in Chaisang was top secret, even Zhou Qian had not known about it beforehand.
More importantly, after reading the contents of the manifesto in his hand, Zhou Qian was overwhelmed with emotion, and at the same time, he deeply understood Mi Yang's firm determination.
What is the biggest fear of being a traitor?
I am most afraid of being abandoned.
Compared with the words of comfort, Mi Yang's actions made Zhou Qian feel more at ease.
The dog-legged Wu should be destroyed long ago!
Of course, no matter how excited he was, Zhou Qiang knew that his great cause had not yet been accomplished and he had to endure for now.
Therefore, after quickly calming down, Zhou Qian shouted in a panicked tone:
"What? The bandit is actually in Chaisang!
What? The bandit Mi actually wants to destroy Wu! "
Zhou Qian's tone was too high-pitched, so high that it almost broke at the end, sounding sharp and piercing.
And this was done intentionally by Zhou Qian.
Panic is contagious.
As expected, after Zhou Qian's two exclamations, all the generals behind him were stunned on the spot.
Mi Yang's reputation in Jiangdong is extraordinary.
Although the Battle of Gong'an had been over for several years, after several battles this year, Mi Yang's reputation in the hearts of the Wu generals had not diminished in the slightest, but had instead increased a lot.
Looking back a few months ago, many Wu generals watched Lu Xun go on the expedition and thought that Jingzhou was within their grasp.
But now?
Whether or not we can get Jingzhou is another matter, but our Chaisang is about to be lost!
Before the war, the situation seemed to be favorable to their side in every aspect, but they were still forced into this situation by Mi Yang.
Mi Yang's strategies and tactics 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 they not be confused for a moment?
Panic and helplessness are the best description of the inner feelings of many Wu generals at this time.
Fortunately, the panic of the Wu generals did not last long.
"According to reliable intelligence, General He Qi has been killed in battle!"
Lu Dai suddenly uttered these words.
Because the incident happened too suddenly, Lu Dai did not know how He Qi was defeated and died at the hands of Mi Yang.
Sometimes the unknown is more likely to cause people to panic.
He Qi is no ordinary person. In terms of status and reputation, he is one of the top five generals in the Eastern Wu court!
Many Wu generals also knew that He Qi had almost never been defeated in the past!
Such a powerful general, when encountering Mi Yang, ended up with his entire army annihilated and his head and body separated?
What about them?
Subconsciously, many Wu generals gasped in fright.
"this…"
"us…"
Some of the Wu generals even began to tremble as they spoke.
If it weren't for the pressure of Sun Quan's edict, someone would probably have proposed to withdraw the troops on the spot to temporarily avoid Mi Yang's attack.
Looking at the frightened expressions of the generals in front of him, Lu Dai sighed repeatedly.
With such military morale, how can they fight against the powerful Han army!
Lu Dai said nothing else. He raised his hunched body and slowly left the attic.
What Lu Dai didn't know was that his lonely and helpless back was all seen by Zhou Qian.
At this moment Zhou Qian remembered what Zhou Yi had reported to him before.
The Lord is here in person, how can we offer it without courtesy?
...
When Mi Yang personally visited Chaisang, He Qi was killed in battle, and "The Proclamation to Attack Wu" - these three pieces of heavy news - spread among the army, more than 20,000 Wu troops fell into panic.
Unable to retreat, and daring not to advance, this is the situation that the more than 20,000 Wu troops are facing now.
In this contradictory situation, the entire army supported Lu Dai's decision to remain on the sidelines.
At least before Lu Fan's reinforcements arrived, the more than 20,000 Wu troops did not want to step into Chaisang's territory.
Taking advantage of the unrest in the entire army, Zhou Yi, following Zhou Qian's orders, sneaked to the outside of 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.
Upon hearing that Zhou Yi wanted to see him for important matters, Mi Yang asked Jiang Ji to bring him in.
Before Zhou Yi came to Mi Yang, he respectfully took out Zhou Qian's secret letter from his arms and presented it to Mi Yang.
After receiving the secret letter, Mi Yang unfolded it and began to read it.
Mi Yang was eating beef, but as his eyes moved on the secret letter, he suddenly felt that the beef in his hand was not fragrant anymore.
As a real man, eating beef is no big deal.
If you want to eat, you should eat tens of thousands of enemy troops!
"Call Dong Qing!"
Mi Yang quickly put down the work in his hand and gave instructions to Jiang Ji.
Seeing Mi Yang's happy 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 the secret letters in his hand to him and Jiang Ji for reading.
Dong Yun first read the contents of the secret letter, and after reading it, Dong Yun couldn't help but said with great joy:
"God is really helping the Grand Marshal. If what Zhou Qian said is correct, the area west of Chaisang can be conquered overnight!"
Compared with Dong Yun's joy, Jiang Ji seemed more cautious.
“I think that what Zhou Cang said was mostly just speculation, and he was still unsure of Lü Dai’s intentions.
Now our army is stationed outside Chaisang City, and Lu Dai has retreated three steps. It doesn't matter whether our army can capture him or not.
I think there is no need to take risks.”
What Zhou Cang said in the secret letter was that he noticed that Lu Dai seemed to be thinking about betraying Sun Quan, and he hoped that Mi Yang would take advantage of this.
At first glance, Zhou Qiang's suggestion sounded good, but Jiang Ji did not dare to trust someone like Zhou Qiang.
In addition, if Mi Yang really wanted to persuade Lü Dai to surrender, the envoy he sent must not only have status, but also have a close relationship with Mi Yang, so that he could gain Lü Dai's trust.
But once this person is sent, his life or death will depend entirely on Lu Dai's decision.
Jiang Ji's prudent suggestion made Mi Yang look thoughtful.
After seeing Mi Yang's hesitation, Dong Yun decisively recommended himself:
"In the past, Ma Piaoqi was controlled by Zhang Lu and felt frustrated.
When the late emperor heard this, he sent De'ang to persuade him.
De'ang Huaiyi went there and persuaded Ma Piaoqi to abandon the dark and join the light.
How do you know, Zi Tong, that the Lü Dai of today is definitely not the Ma Piaoqi of the past?
If Deang can do it, I can do it too!"
Dong Yun's face was determined and he volunteered to be the envoy.
Faced with 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 Yangyan and said:
"At that time, the Grand Marshal once said that if Lü Dai didn't die when he was old, he was a thief."
Jiang Ji's advice was quite tactful. He was reminding Mi Yang that Lu Dai was a shrewd and calculating person, and some things might have been done intentionally by him.
After hearing Jiang Ji's reminder, Mi Yang's face did show a serious look.
But what Jiang Ji didn't expect was that Mi Yang said the following:
“I did say that.
However, respecting and loving the elders is a tradition of the Han Dynasty.
Don't always shout and call for violence towards the elderly.
Otherwise it would seem lonely and cruel.”
Mi Yang's words stunned Jiang Ji.
While Jiang Ji was speechless, Dong Yun was overjoyed.
Mi Yang's implication was that he was willing to give Lu Dai a chance.
Similarly, this is also the opportunity given to him by Mi Yang!
