Chapter 779: Setting a trap step by step and asking for death
Recently, He Qi has sent many scouts outside Chaisang City.
The scouts soon discovered something.
Not long after, an urgent message was delivered to He Qi.
"What! Are you telling the truth?!"
He Qi looked at Yang Zan in front of him with a hint of surprise in his tone.
Seeing the joy on He Qi's face, Yang Zan was also in a very good mood.
In order to prove that what he said was true, Yang Zan once again cupped his hands and said:
"According to reports from our scouts, Shanyue soldiers have been fleeing outside Chaisang City in the past few days.
Although Ding Feng has been trying hard to cover it up, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of my elite men."
There was a lot of pride in Yang Zan's tone.
Yang Zan felt that he had reason to be proud that the scout he had trained was able to gather this important information for He Qi.
After Yang Zan once again reiterated what the scouts had discovered, He Qi could no longer conceal the joy on his face.
What did he say before?
"Does Jiang Ji, who is a famous scholar, think that he can easily suppress the Shanyue tribes just by relying on his reputation?
It’s ridiculous!
Over the years, our dynasty has tried many times to appease the Shanyue chiefs, but they still have evil intentions and rebel again after surrendering.
In terms of understanding Shanyue, Jiang Ji may be well-known in the world, but he is not as good as me. "
As time went by, He Qi naturally learned the news that Jiang Ji had arrived in Yuzhang.
In addition, He Qi also learned that Jiang Ji used high positions and generous salaries to lure the leaders of various Shanyue clans.
But even knowing these two points, He Qi did not doubt his previous judgment.
In fact, He Qi became more convinced of his previous judgment.
Because in He Qi's view, what Jiang Ji did was following the old path of many famous generals in Jiangdong over the years.
Since it is an old road, it turns out that there is a famous general from Jiangdong who has made this road accessible?
Of course, He Qi didn't know that Jiang Ji relied on more than just generous rewards to pacify the many Shanyue commanders.
Jiang Ji also imitated the story of Emperor Guangwu and used the method of opening one's heart to heart.
Before this, no famous general from Jiangdong had ever been willing to be truly open-hearted with the Shanyue people, whom they despised.
Are they worthy?
Realizing that the chance of victory was getting closer, He Qi couldn't help but pace back and forth excitedly.
After seeing He Qi's excitement, Yang Zan praised him tactfully:
"General, you are a genius!
If the general had not had the foresight to choose not to move his troops, how could the Han army have been in turmoil so soon?"
In the view of Wu generals such as Yang Zan, why have Shanyue soldiers been fleeing outside Chaisang City in recent days?
There is only one reason.
It was nothing more than that Ding Feng and Jiang Ji, who relied on "power" to suppress the Shanyue tribes, began to suffer backlash.
It is foreseeable that in the next few days, more and more Shanyue soldiers will flee outside Chaisang City.
As soon as Yang Zan started praising, several other Wu generals in the tent quickly echoed him.
The flattering voices of the Wu generals made He Qi even more proud.
But He Qi is indeed a real talent.
Facing Yang Zan's suggestion to send troops, He Qi thought about it and shook his head and refused:
“There are not many Shanyue soldiers fleeing today, which shows that many Shanyue leaders are still wavering.
This is not the best time for our army to send troops.
Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
He Qi's subordinates have always been convinced of him.
Seeing that He Qi had made a decision, He Qi's subordinates could only temporarily suppress their restless emotions.
Some time passed.
Mi Yang was not impatient when he learned that He Qi had not taken any action yet.
Even Mi Yang received a secret letter from Zhou Cang, saying that Lu Dai would lead his army to Chaisang soon.
Looking at Dong Yun beside him, Mi Yang smiled and said to him:
"He Qi is a good general."
Compared to Mi Yang, Dong Yun was not so relaxed.
Dong Yun had just learned from Mi Yang that Lü Dai's reinforcements would soon arrive in Chaisang.
Once Lu Dai's reinforcements arrive in Chaisang, it means that the difficulty of capturing Chaisang will increase exponentially.
If we don't capture Chaisang, how can we threaten Jianye?
Thinking of the cake that Mi Yang had painted for him before, Dong Yun advised seriously:
"The Grand Marshal carries the hopes of the whole dynasty. The current situation is not favorable to our army, but the Grand Marshal is not worried but happy. I think this is not good!"
Dong Yun has a righteous character. Even though he is willing to work for Mi Yang, it does not mean that he will flatter him like Jiang Ji.
After hearing Dong Yun's advice, Mi Yang's smile froze.
Wow, he has found a Wei Zheng for himself!
But then he thought again, he was the one who made such a fuss for Dong Yun in the first place.
In addition, in history, Dong Yun was a person who dared to criticize his master's mistakes to his face.
Compared with Dong Yun's harshness towards Liu Chan in history, it seems that Dong Yun has been restrained towards himself.
After quickly comforting himself, Mi Yang, who was clear-minded, said to Dong Yunyan:
"Xiu Zhao is right. I was a little reckless."
"But don't worry, Xiu Zhao, just wait and see how I can turn the situation around."
After saying this, Mi Yang turned his gaze away from the pouting Dong Yun.
Mi Yang called Ding Feng and whispered:
"Let Jiang Ji call Fei Yi over."
After receiving Mi Yang's instructions, Ding Feng left quickly.
Although Mi Yang's voice was low, it still could not escape Dong Yun's ears.
Who is Fei Yi, a talented person?
Why have I never heard of it?
Fei Yi, who was training his men, was found by Jiang Ji himself.
Seeing that it was Jiang Ji who came in person, Fei Yi hurriedly bowed to Jiang Ji.
Fei Yi originally thought that Jiang Ji had some instructions for him, but what he didn't expect was that after seeing him, Jiang Ji just asked him to follow him and didn't say anything else.
Although Fei Yi was confused and didn't understand, he still followed Jiang Ji obediently.
Seeing Jiang Ji taking him to a secluded tent, Fei Yi became more and more confused.
In the past, Fei Yi, who had experienced the dangers of life, might have thought that Jiang Ji was going to harm him.
But due to Jiang Ji's previous sincere attitude, Fei Yi did not have such worries.
But precisely because he couldn't guess Jiang Ji's intention, Fei Yi became even more confused.
With doubts in his heart, Fei Yi followed Jiang Ji into the secluded tent.
When Fei Yi first entered the tent, he saw a young man in plain clothes and a blue scarf sitting at the top, looking at him.
However, in Fei Yi's heart, Jiang Ji, who had the highest status, walked to the young man without saying a word, lowered his head and served him.
This scene instantly made Fei Yi realize that the identity of the young man in front of him was not simple.
But at this time Fei Yi had not yet guessed Mi Yang's true identity.
Not to mention Fei Yi, who could have thought that Mi Yang, the Grand Marshal of the Han Dynasty, would come to the least important battlefield when fighting on three fronts?
Mi Yang saw Fei Yi looking at him curiously, so he reached out and stopped Jiang Ji from introducing him.
"Are you Fei Yi?"
Mi Yang asked Fei Yi first.
Mi Yang's tone was very gentle, which made Fei Yi feel a lot more at ease.
Perhaps it was a second-generation general of the Han Dynasty who was sent by the Grand Marshal to Chaisang to supervise the battle.
With this judgment in mind, Fei Yi quickly bowed to Mi Yang:
"That's right, General!"
Looking at Fei Yi bowing, Mi Yang bent his body and introduced himself with a smile:
"I am Mi Yang."
Mi Yang's self-introduction was very brief, so brief that Fei Yi could grasp the main points at once.
Mi Yang?
Grand Marshal!
Jiang Ji was present, so there was no way the man in front of him would dare to impersonate Mi Yang.
Then.
The feeling of disbelief made Fei Yi's brain freeze a little.
But soon a strong sense of fear instantly invaded his whole body.
Without having time to think too much, Fei Yi, who had originally just bowed to greet, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Mi Yang.
"No, I am so blind that I cannot recognize a great man. I deserve to die. I deserve to die!"
Fei Yi had never seen Mi Yang before, so it was normal that he did not recognize Mi Yang.
But Mi Yang's reputation in the world is too great.
Compared with Mi Yang, Fei Yi felt that he was just an ant in Jiangdong.
When an ant suddenly sees the blue sky, how can it not be extremely frightened?
In extreme panic, Fei Yi felt that just breathing in front of Mi Yang was disrespectful.
Not to mention that he didn't show respect to Mi Yang right away.
Mi Yang was a little surprised to see Fei Yi kowtow continuously because he was scared by him.
How did Sun Quan demonize himself in Jiangdong?
Mi Yang, a time traveler, does not like the ritual of kowtow.
Under the surprised gazes of Dong Yun and Jiang Ji, Mi Yang actually stood up, walked to Fei Yi, stretched out his hands and helped Fei Yi up personally.
"A man's knees should be made of gold."
When Fei Yi heard Mi Yang's words, he felt as if a lake and sea were surging in his heart.
These inspiring words, coupled with Mi Yang's identity, made Fei Yi very excited.
After helping Fei Yi up, Mi Yang looked at him and asked:
"Are you afraid of being alone?"
"No, it's not fear, it's respect, respect."
Fei Yi was a famous general in Jiangdong.
But in front of Mi Yang, he couldn't speak clearly.
Fei Yi's stuttering explanation made Mi Yang laugh.
Mi Yang's laughter eased some of Fei Yi's fear and anxiety.
After calming down a little, Fei Yi quickly realized that Mi Yang must have a big plan for coming to Chaisang in person.
And the reason why Mi Yang summoned him alone today was probably because of the plan he had in mind.
Thinking of this, Fei Yi tried his best to calm his wildly beating heart, then he bowed and asked:
"Sir, if the Grand Marshal has any instructions, please speak up. I will not refuse!"
Hearing that Fei Yi's stuttering problem had improved a lot, Mi Yang smiled and nodded.
But then Mi Yang's expression became serious:
"What if what I ask you to do is likely to cost you your life?"
As soon as Mi Yang said this, Dong Yun and Jiang Ji quickly frowned.
Da Sima’s words are too direct!
Even Dong Yun and Jiang Ji, who were bystanders, frowned at this sentence, let alone Fei Yi, the person involved?
After hearing Mi Yang's straightforward words, Fei Yi's fear was aroused to the maximum at once.
An expression of fear and panic covered Fei Yi's entire face.
Is there anyone in the world who does not cherish his own life?
Fei Yi's drastic change in mood did not escape Mi Yang's eyes.
Mi Yang did not continue to ask questions while Fei Yi was still panicking. He took a few steps back and waited for Fei Yi to digest the situation.
After a long time, Fei Yi finally regained some of his thoughts.
At this moment, Fei Yi looked at Mi Yang with a complicated look.
Fei Yi knew very well that with the power in the hands of the man in front of him, it would be easy for him to take his life.
After learning that his life was no longer in his own hands, Fei Yi's fear was alleviated a lot.
After the panic subsided, curiosity arose.
"May I ask the Grand Marshal what could have caused my life to be in danger?"
In response to Fei Yi's questioning, Mi Yang slowly said:
"He Qi's troops are like a fishbone stuck in my throat. I need you to be a spy in He Qi's army and help me remove this fishbone."
Mi Yang knew very well that Fei Yi was a barbarian.
For barbarians, being straightforward is the best respect.
As soon as Mi Yang finished speaking, Fei Yi understood.
He Qi originally hated the Shanyue people.
Even if he really surrendered, He Qi might not thank him afterwards.
What's more, is there any other intention?
It sounds like this matter will end in death.
But with the digestion process just now, Fei Yi's thoughts were relatively stable at this time.
For the sake of his own life, Fei Yi raised his head and mustered up his courage to stare at Mi Yang.
While staring at Mi Yang, Fei Yi asked word by word:
"You, the great Sima, can deceive a villain with lies."
Fei Yi said it well.
According to common sense, Mi Yang should not have said such decisive things.
Facing Fei Yi's doubts, Mi Yang answered frankly:
"I need people to die for me, but I don't need to trick people into dying for me."
Mi Yang's words were frank and sincere, which reminded Fei Yi of Jiang Ji's previous behavior and his previous experience of being deceived by Wu Jun.
Fei Yi was recruited by the Wu army, but the Wu army did so in order to lower his vigilance and thus eliminate him.
Past experiences made Fei Yi feel that Mi Yang's current honesty was precious.
At least, at least Mi Yang did not regard himself as a plaything that could be deceived at will.
"why me?"
This is Fei Yi’s second question.
This is also what Dong Yun and Jiang Ji are curious about.
"I have read Zi Tong's report.
That day you were the first to stand up and respond to Zi Tong.
This shows that you are not willing to be mediocre and want to make a career.
Besides, your strength is second only to Peng Qi. If you surrender, He Qi will be delighted.
He Qi also wouldn't believe that with your strength, you would be willing to face death."
Mi Yang gave three reasons in succession.
Since he was able to summon Fei Yi, he must have made careful plans in advance.
The three reasons given by Mi Yang made Fei Yi look at Mi Yang with even more awe.
No matter how many rumors you hear, nothing compares to seeing it with your own eyes.
From what Mi Yang said today, it is enough to know that Mi Yang's grasp of people's hearts has reached a level that is difficult for other people in the world to achieve.
No wonder Mi Yang was able to accomplish so many amazing military feats.
After answering, Mi Yang saw that Fei Yi had no more questions for a long time, and he thought that Fei Yi was unwilling after all.
This was also within Mi Yang's expectations.
Mi Yang was not angry.
"If you don't want to, I won't force you, and what I promised you before won't change in the slightest.
Today I will pretend that I have never seen you.
I have to inconvenience you for a few days, but the news that I came to Chaisang cannot be leaked for the time being."
After saying this, General Mi Yang wanted Ding Feng to take Fei Yi away first.
Fei Yi did not doubt Mi Yang's words. Liu Bei was a man of integrity, which made Mi Yang's promise more effective than anyone else's at that time.
But before Ding Feng stepped forward, Fei Yi asked his third question.
“What will I get afterwards?”
Mi Yang was being candid with Fei Yi, so Fei Yi didn't plan to hide anything anymore.
Fei Yi's third question made Mi Yang stop in his tracks.
Mi Yang looked at Fei Yi again, with respect in his eyes.
“Whether it succeeds or not, I will report to His Majesty afterwards to commend your loyalty and honor you.
Besides, I heard that you have a young son.
I will take him as a companion to my eldest son Mi Cheng."
Mi Yang spoke decisively and temptingly.
It was so tempting that Fei Yi couldn't believe it.
Is his life so valuable?
You have to know that Mi Yang's promise is much more valuable than a simple sentence like "I will support your wife and children myself."
That sentence could only protect Fei Yi's family for one lifetime, but Mi Yang's promise today could at least allow Fei Yi's family and descendants to enjoy wealth and glory for two lifetimes.
Yes at least!
Why do people in today's world sometimes risk their lives to fight?
All for the sake of "achieving great achievements, ennobling his wife and blessing his children".
There is no one in the world who does not cherish his or her own life.
But if you can do these eight words, even if you lose your life, how can you say you don't cherish it?
For the first time, Fei Yi felt that his own life was not worthless.
A hearty laugh came out of Fei Yi's mouth, and Fei Yi raised his head proudly:
"In this case, I will accept death!"
