Mi Han

Chapter 710: Lu Xun takes the initiative to break the situation
Lu Xun's sudden anger scared Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng followed Lu Xun for several years, and in his impression, Lu Xun had always been a commander with a gentle personality.

In the past, let alone Lu Xun scolding people, it was extremely rare for him to speak to people in a harsh tone.

So what happened to the general today?

Is it just because Zhu Huan talked nonsense after drinking?

But if Zhu Huan had not falsely conveyed Lu Xun's order, then in Xu Sheng's view, Zhu Huan's drunken nonsense was nothing.

Jiangdong is located in the south, and its customs and culture are more open than those in the Central Plains, and there are not so many taboos.

Not to mention Zhu Huan, even Sun Quan, the monarch, often said some nonsense after drinking.

But over time, haven't people gotten used to it?

While Xu Sheng was shocked, a look of confusion also appeared on his face.

After seeing Xu Sheng's puzzled expression, Lu Xun became even angrier.

“Do you think Zhu Huan’s drunken remarks are his family’s business?

He is harming the country!"

The angry Lu Xun directly accused Zhu Huan of harming the country.

Lu Xun's performance made Xu Sheng a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that Xu Sheng still couldn't understand the severity of the situation, Lu Xun temporarily calmed down his anger and explained to Xu Sheng:
"Why should I plan to hand over the Jiefan Soldier to Zhu Huan?"

After saying this, Lu Xun directly took out a pile of documents from the mountain of documents on the desk.

He threw the pile of documents directly to the ground, and then continued to talk to Xu Sheng:

"These memorials are all from officials from all over Jiangxia, impeaching Han Zong to me!"

"What do these dozen memorials represent?
This means that the tolerance of Jiangxia officials towards Han Zong has reached its limit, and it also means that Han Zong is indeed a sinister person! "

“I have long intended to take down Han Zong.

But before that, Mr. Han passed away, and Han Zong held the military power of the Jiefan Army. In order not to cause unrest among the people and give Mi Yang an opportunity to take advantage of it, I have tolerated it until now.

The son of a meritorious official who commits crimes is not scary. What is scary is that he not only holds military power but also guards an important place!
What I originally thought was that after Zhu Huan returned safely, I would use the excuse of declaring war on Mi Yang to summon Han Zong from Yong'an to Xiakou to discuss military affairs.

Although Han Zong has ulterior motives, I have never shown any ill will towards him before. Besides, my reasons are reasonable, so he will not refuse to come.

As long as he comes to Xiakou, I will be able to take away his military power without bloodshed.

But now, all my plans have been ruined by Zhu Huan's words!"

As the saying goes, if the plan is not kept secret, disaster will occur. Therefore, Lu Xun never told anyone about his plan.

When Xu Sheng first learned of Lu Xun's plan, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

But in Xu Sheng's eyes, this matter is not hopeless.

Xu Sheng immediately cupped his hands and said to Lu Xun:
“Although the general could not defeat Han Zong without bloodshed, the Jiefan soldiers under Han Zong’s command were once divided into two, so their number is not large.

The general commands the country's elite troops. As long as he gives an order, tens of thousands of troops can march straight to Yong'an.

What will Korean variety shows be good for by then?"

Xu Sheng originally thought that his suggestions would be accepted by Lu Xun, but unexpectedly, after listening to Xu Sheng's words, the worry on Lu Xun's face did not diminish at all.

Lu Xun sighed heavily and said to Xu Sheng:
"Wen Xiang! If the situation can develop like this, why should I worry?"

"It is true that I have a large number of troops under my command, but doesn't Mi Yang have a large number of troops under his command?"

As soon as Lu Xun said this, Xu Sheng, who realized the hidden meaning of Lu Xun's words, suddenly changed his expression.

The strong sense of surprise and doubt made Xu Sheng stutter when he spoke next.

"You, you mean that Han Zonghui would betray his country and surrender to the enemy?"

"How can this be.

Han Zong is the son of Lord Han after all. He should know that with Lord Han's legacy, even if he makes a big mistake, His Majesty will spare his life."

It wasn’t because Xu Sheng was stupid that he didn’t think about this before, it’s just that the identity of a Korean variety show is too special.

As a veteran of three dynasties of Eastern Wu, Han Dang's status was almost equivalent to that of a clan member.

Before something is confirmed to happen, who would think that the relatives of one country would defect to another country?
But Xu Sheng’s idea was too simple.

"For someone like Han Zong, if he loses all his power, it will undoubtedly be more painful than killing him.

In order to not lose the power in his hands, he, who has a wolf-like personality, will certainly do crazy things that ordinary people can hardly imagine. "

“But I am not afraid of him surrendering to the enemy.

Even though Han Zong holds military power, most of Jie Fanbing's families are in Yong'an City.

If he flees to the enemy country in a hurry, he will not be able to bring too many family members with him, so there won't be many soldiers to follow him."

Lu Xun's words calmed Xu Sheng down a little.

The general considers things more comprehensively, and it seems that things are not so bad.

But before Xu Sheng's emotions could stabilize, Lu Xun's next words made Xu Sheng's heart beat violently.

"What I'm worried about is that he will use Yong'an City as a token of his surrender to the enemy!"

Lu Xun slowly expressed what worried him the most.

This made Xu Sheng stand still.

Yongan City?
Yong'an City is the gateway to Jiangxia!

Once Yong'an City is captured by Mi Yang, Mi Yang's troops can sweep across the entire Jiangxia County at any time.

By then, the Yangtze River defense line that they had spent years of hard work to build would definitely be torn to pieces by Mi Yang!
Yong'an City must not be lost!
But at this moment, Xu Sheng couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Han Zongsu has no talent. Would he have the courage to go this far?"

Under Lu Xun's advice just now, Xu Sheng chose to believe Lu Xun's judgment that Han Zong would commit treason.

There are many ways to commit treason.

Between the two options of fleeing to the enemy country and fighting the enemy with the whole city, the difficulty of the latter is undoubtedly incomparable to the former.

Knowing this, Xu Sheng thought that perhaps the situation would not be so bad.

Seeing that Xu Sheng still held some unrealistic expectations, Lu Xun couldn't help but slam the table to wake Xu Sheng up and said:
"Wen Xiang, our enemy is Mi Yang!"

"I don't believe Han Zong has the courage, but if he doesn't, will Mi Yang have it?"

"Mi Yang has always been a man who insists on killing with one strike. If Han Zong really wants to surrender to him, how could his appetite be limited to just a few thousand elite soldiers?
What he wants is the entire world of Da Wu!
Moreover, facing an enemy like Mi Yang, we must prepare for the worst."

Lu Xun's reminder worked. At this moment, Xu Sheng no longer had any doubts about Lu Xun's inference.

Xu Sheng knelt down in front of Lu Xun and begged him:
"I hope the general will quickly plan to save the country!"

Isn't what Xu Sheng wanted the same as what Lu Xun wanted?

In fact, just now, Lu Xun had been thinking about how to save the country in his mind.

Now Lu Xun has gained something in his heart.

"The most urgent task is to immediately send someone to Yong'an to warn Governor Hu to be careful of Han Zong's rebellion!

As long as Governor Hu is on guard, it won’t be easy for Han Zong to capture Yong’an City.”

After saying this first point, Lu Xun immediately said:

“In addition, we need to send an envoy to Jianye to have His Majesty issue an imperial edict to reprimand Han Zong.

The stricter the better!"

Xu Sheng was a little confused about this.

Since Lu Xun felt that Han Zong was about to rebel, what was the point of having Sun Quan issue an edict to reprimand him at this time?
It would be better for Sun Quan to issue an edict to appease Han Zong, which might even paralyze Han Zong.

Just when Xu Sheng was puzzled, Lu Xun told him the reason why he did so.

"Mi Yang is good at using the strategy of feigning surrender. Those who are good at using this strategy will certainly be on guard against others following suit.

Although Han Zong surrendered out of fear of crime, on the surface he did have reasons to surrender.

But Mi Yang would not rashly believe him based on this point, after all, Han Zong's father was Han Gong.

When Mi Yang was suspicious, His Majesty did not reprimand him earlier or later, but reprimanded Han Zong at this time, which made Mi Yang feel that there was something fishy going on.

This will buy time for our army!"

At this point, Lu Xun raised his head and looked at Xu Sheng, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Yes, the key to breaking the deadlock lies in who can strike first!"

It would be more accurate to say that Lu Xun was talking to himself rather than explaining to Xu Sheng.

But are these two points alone enough to be safe?

Lu Xun lowered his head and paced back and forth, deep in thought.

Lu Xun tried to put himself in Mi Yang's shoes, thinking about what kind of situation he least wanted to face at the moment.

What's the next step?

As Lu Xun walked faster and faster, his brain was also working at high speed.

But not long after, Lu Xun suddenly stopped.

He thought of it!

"Cao Xiu!"
