Mi Han

Chapter 716: Stormy Weather, You and I Walk Together
When the sound of the drum representing the meeting spread throughout Xiakou City, all the Wu generals in the city rushed towards Lu Xun's general's mansion immediately as if they had heard the sound of nature.

Just as Quan Cong had just reported, the morale of the soldiers in Xiakou City had been shattered by the news of the fall of Yong'an.

If not, how could Xiakou City, where so many heroes gathered, allow so many rumors to spread?
For many Wu generals, Lu Xun was undoubtedly their backbone.

What they need most now is Lu Xun to come out and stabilize the situation.

Due to their inner anxiety, many Wu generals did not even have time to drive with umbrellas, and went straight to the general's mansion in the pouring rain.

Seeing the Wu generals appearing like drowned rats, Lu Xun asked his servants to prepare some warm soup while secretly cheering himself up in his heart:
"With so many good generals who care about state affairs, the fate of the Wu Kingdom will never end halfway!"

About half an hour had passed when all the Wu generals who were qualified to participate in the meeting gathered in the meeting room where Lu Xun was.

The heavy rain outside the hall was still pouring down. The loud sound of rain kept striking at the heart of every Wu general, making their breathing become more and more rapid as they got older.

The hall where dozens of Wu generals gathered was completely silent at this moment.

None of the Wu generals spoke, their eyes were all fixed on Lu Xun.

They really hope that Lu Xun can save the Great Wu.

After noticing the panicked and expectant looks of the Wu generals, Lu Xun said calmly:
"I heard a rumor in the city that Yong'an was captured by Mi Yang. I have verified this and it is completely false."

When Lu Xun said this, the panic in the eyes of the Wu generals instantly dissipated a lot.

It is true that Yong'an was an important city of Eastern Wu, but the loss of Yong'an alone would not have caused all Wu generals to panic and lose their minds.

They felt extremely panicked before because they thought that Mi Yang was currently in Yong'an City as the rumors said.

Now that Lu Xun had defined this rumor as just a lie, it undoubtedly gave their extremely nervous hearts a chance to breathe.

In fact, in such a short time, even if Lu Xun sent people out to verify, the results would not come back so quickly.

But Lu Xun was very clear that his judgment was accurate.

Being able to make the judgment that everyone else is drunk but I am sober is not Lu Xun's wisdom. It is really far behind him compared with many Wu generals.

However, compared with the generals of Eastern Wu, Lu Xun never felt afraid of Mi Yang.

Lu Xun knew that if he did not restore the sanity of the Eastern Wu generals, all his subsequent plans would be in vain.

Lu Xun's idea was correct.

After Lu Xun finished speaking, the originally silent conference room seemed to come alive and became noisy in an instant.

"If Mi Zi is not here, Han Zong will only have a few thousand soldiers to relieve his troubles."

"Although Han Zong is the descendant of Lord Han, I know that he has no merit in military strategy."

"Your Majesty should be informed of the news of Han Zong's rebellion in a timely manner. Some of the Jiefan troops are the personal soldiers of King Huan of Changsha.

As long as Your Majesty issues an edict to clarify Han Zong's crimes, I think those Jiefan soldiers will come to their senses."

Every Wu general present was either actively sharing their knowledge of Korean variety shows or actively offering advice to Lu Xun.

If you listen carefully, some of the suggestions do have merit.

But Lu Xun felt that those suggestions were ultimately trivial.

“The most important thing for our army right now is to lead the troops to the outskirts of Yong’an City in time and isolate the inside and outside of Yong’an City.

Han Zong dared to rebel, and Mi Yang must have been behind it.

And with Mi Yang's wolfish ambitions, will he remain indifferent after learning about Han Zong's behavior? "

Lu Xun pointed out the key to quelling Han Zong's rebellion.

We must not let Mi Yang’s reinforcements enter Yong’an City!
After hearing Lu Xun's words, the entire conference hall fell silent again.

After a long time, a general stood up and said, "What the general said is very true.

However, there is a sudden rainstorm now, so our army should wait until the rain stops before planning the deployment."

The person who said this was General Bu Zhi, the General of Zhenxi.

As Bu Zhi finished speaking, many Wu generals showed expressions of approval on their faces.

The heavy rain had a great impact on the army's march.

Of course, this also applies to the Han army.

Therefore, Bu Zhi would make a suggestion based on the actual situation, which he thought was more reliable.

But after listening to Bu Zhi's words, Lu Xun asked Bu Zhi:

"Will Han Zong think the same as you do?"

Faced with this question suddenly raised by Lu Xun, Bu Zhi was stunned for a moment.

Is that even a question?
Han Zong grew up in Jiangdong, so he knew as much about the adverse effects of heavy rain as he did himself.

Why would the general ask such a simple question?
Bu Zhi's doubts did not last long, and the next moment, an answer vaguely emerged in his mind.

Could it be!
Bu Zhi was about to look at Lu Xun, and at this moment Lu Xun's words came:

"Yong'an City is located in a very stable terrain, with sufficient grain, and the city's defense equipment is also very complete.

These were all prepared by me personally in Yong'an earlier.

Now that Yong'an has fallen into Han Zong's hands, it is not an easy task for our army to attack such a strong city.

But no matter how strong a city is, it still needs people to defend it.

Han Zong has an arrogant personality and is well aware of the disadvantages of heavy rain for marching, so he must think that he can sleep safely in the short term.

Such thoughts will make Korean variety shows careless.

The enemy has a strong city. If we don't attack them when they are careless, then when will we be able to do so?"

Lu Xun slowly expressed his opinion.

Does what Lu Xun said make sense?
Of course there is, but...
Listening to the loud sound of heavy rain, many Wu generals still could not eliminate their doubts.

Lu Xun saw the hesitation of many Wu generals, he straightened his face and said:

“Marching in bad weather is very difficult.

But our army did the same thing back then.”

As soon as Lu Xun said this, many Wu generals showed a look of reminiscence on their faces.

then?

Are you referring to the time when King Huan of Changsha was in power?

An orphan and a widow, they crossed the river to fight, faced unfavorable situations several times, and narrowly escaped death several times.

But in the end, it was them who stood proudly on the land of Jiangdong!
Many of the Wu generals present were old ministers left over from the Sun Ce era.

Hearing Yu Luxun's words, they couldn't help but recall the thrilling and glorious years more than ten years ago.

Yes, if they could do it back then, why can't they do it now!
"Han Zong's rebellion is like a huge wave, violently impacting the country of Wu."

"If we continue to hesitate, this huge wave will drag all of us into the endless deep sea."

"I don't want to be eaten by fish and shrimp."

"Now, those who wish to strangle the great waves with me and calm the storms, may you rise!"

After saying this, a determined figure slowly stood up.

Inspired by this determined figure, an old sigh sounded in the meeting room.

"I am old and still have to do this kind of thing. I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

Although these words were full of helplessness.

But the owner of this voice also stood up with his old body.

This person was none other than Lu Dai, one of the old ministers of Jiangdong.

As Lu Dai stood up, Quan Cong, Zhu Ran, Zhu Huan, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong and other Wu generals looked at each other and stood up one after another.

One person leads one person, and a group leads a group.

By the end, the entire conference hall was filled with Jiangdong men who stood upright.

"We all wish!"

Since Sun Quan came to power, the men of Jiangdong have often been laughed at by the world and called rats.

But it is undeniable that there were heroes in Jiangdong who could make Sun Quan one of the three emperors of the world.

The difference lies in who leads them.

Looking at the figures standing in front of him, Lu Xun finally smiled:

"When the wind and rain are dark, you and I walk together, how good it is!"
