Mi Han

Chapter 749: The Rush to Attack the Public Security Bureau
Yu Fan's violent reaction frightened the followers around him so much that they quickly stepped forward to support him.

This would prevent Yu Fan from falling to the ground in panic.

But can the followers support Yu Fan’s body and soothe his heart?

With the constant and concerned calls from his followers, Yu Fan gradually regained consciousness.

After regaining his consciousness, Yu Fan looked around with a lifeless look.

At this moment he discovered that although the people around him were also afraid of Mi Yang's arrival, they were not as out of control as he was.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the current situation of the Public Security Bureau is greatly favorable to them, which offsets a large part of the panic brought to them by Mi Yang.

More importantly, most of the people around were mediocre, and with their knowledge they could not immediately judge how terrible it was for Zhouling City to fall into Mi Yang's hands.

He who knows little, fears little.

But at this point, Yu Fan knew that he couldn't continue to indulge in panic.

Yu Fan looked at the fallen Wu Jun. He tried his best to gather his strength and said:
"What nonsense! Mi Yang is now attacking Wancheng thousands of miles away, how could he possibly come to Jingnan!
I think you are a spy sent by the enemy army to disrupt the morale of our army!"

Afterwards, Yu Fan ordered his men to pick up the Wu soldier.

"The general has always hated spies the most. I will take you to the general to be punished personally."

After saying this, Yu Fan turned his gaze towards a confidant behind him.

"We cannot let the enemy's scheme succeed.

Pass on my order, anyone who dares to spread rumors will be killed immediately!"

When saying this, Yu Fan's tone was quite cold.

Yu Fan's words made the people around him look relieved.

Even though Yu Fan had just behaved in a panic, they could understand.

After all, that "spy" brought up Mi Yang's name.

I want to ask, who in the Wu army could guarantee that they would not lose their composure when they heard that Mi Yang was coming?

However, even though Yu Zhubu almost fell into the enemy's trap at the beginning, fortunately Yu Zhubu was smart and he reacted quickly and exposed the enemy's conspiracy.

People around him did not have much suspicion of Yu Fan's "repairing the situation after the horse has bolted".

On the one hand, as Yu Fan said, according to the intelligence they had obtained, Mi Yang should be outside Wancheng at the moment.

Even if Mi Yang received the news of the fall of Zhouling, it was impossible for him to immediately abandon tens of thousands of Han troops and rush back to Jingnan without caring about anything.

On the other hand, the people around him were unwilling to accept what Wu Jun said from the bottom of their hearts and were quite repulsive to it.

In this case, unless the facts are laid out before them like ironclad evidence, they will subconsciously find all kinds of reasons to deny the "one-sided account" they have heard.

Self-deception is sometimes a human instinct for self-defense.

Upon hearing Yu Fan's order, his confidant responded with a serious expression:

"As ordered!"

The response from his confidant restored some strength to Yu Fan's legs and feet.

Then he pretended to be relaxed and took the "spy" towards Lu Xun's tent.

In fact, if someone observes carefully, they will find that Yu Fan's steps are quite frivolous.

Yu Fan is different from them after all.

Even though there is no hard evidence in front of Yu Fan yet, with Yu Fan's knowledge, he would not fall into the trap of deceiving himself.

If that Wu soldier was really a spy sent by the Han army, he would never have described the fall of Zhouling in such detail.

If you want to disrupt the morale of the army, the news should be as vague as possible.

The lie is told too clearly, and once it is verified, its true nature will be exposed.

It was even more impossible for that Wu soldier to rashly announce the arrival of Mi Yang, which was clearly against common sense.

so.
Yu Fan, who was walking, suddenly felt a chill surrounding him.

This feeling of coldness arose in Yu Fan's heart.

Lu Xun was handling military affairs in the military tent.

In addition to dealing with military affairs, Lu Xun was also thinking about what the Wu army should do next after he captured Gong'an City.

Judging from the time, Mi Yang should have received the news of the fall of Zhouling some time ago.

Lu Xun believed that Mi Yang would never give up Gong'an.

However, Mi Yang could not allow tens of thousands of Han troops to fall into danger.

Long before sending troops, Lu Xun had written a secret letter to Cao Xiu.

In the letter, Lu Xun asked Cao Xiu to always pay attention to the movements of the Han army.

Lu Xun did this in order to let Cao Xiu delay Mi Yang.

Lu Xun was not worried that Cao Xiu would not cooperate in this matter.

Perhaps Mi Yang really wanted to return to Jiangling as soon as possible to take personal charge of rescuing the public security.

However, the tens of thousands of Han troops outside Wancheng will become the biggest obstacle for Mi Yang to return to Jiangling as soon as possible.

When he thought of this, Lu Xun couldn't hide the joy on his face.

As long as Mi Yang cannot return to Jiangling as soon as possible, the Wu army will have too many directions to continue attacking after taking Gong'an.

Not only other important places in Jingnan, but also the Jiangling City, is it absolutely impossible to seize it?
You must know that Chen Dao is not in Jiangling City now.

The more Lu Xun thought about it, the brighter the future seemed to him. After approving the military affairs on the case, he immediately ordered someone to bring a map, put it on the table, and study it carefully with a lantern.

While Lu Xun's thoughts were immersed in the beautiful scenery of Jingzhou, Yu Fan, who had been granted special permission by Lu Xun, entered Lu Xun's tent without notifying him.

Lu Xun, who noticed someone coming, looked forward with a lingering look.

When he saw that it was Yu Fan who came, Lu Xun smiled and waved his hand to let Yu Fan come forward.

“It’s Zhongxiang who’s here.

Zhongxiang, you came at the right time. I was just about to ask someone to call you."

Yu Fan was quite insightful in both military and political aspects, and Lu Xun used to like to refer to Yu Fan's suggestions.

But what Lu Xun didn't realize was that after hearing his words, Yu Fan's face became even more gloomy.

Yu Fan did not sit down in front of Lu Xun as Lu Xun had invited him to do.

After coming within a few steps of Lu Xun, Yu Fan suddenly stopped and bowed deeply to Lu Xun:
"I have something important to report!"

Yu Fan's heavy tone finally made Lu Xun realize that something was wrong.

The joy on Lu Xun's face gradually disappeared.

"What's the matter?"

Lu Xun knew very well that Yu Fan would not behave like this unless something serious happened.

At Lu Xun's questioning, Yu Fan took a deep breath and asked someone to bring the Wu soldier in.

Then, in order to save his life, the Wu soldier told Lu Xun everything he knew.

After hearing the words of the Wu soldier, Lu Xun's first reaction was the same as Yu Fan's.

He thought he heard wrongly.

"Zhouling was lost? Mi Yang led the troops personally?"

Lu Xun's tone was full of disbelief.

"How can it be!

Ridiculous! Ridiculous! "

I don't think anyone could remain calm when they first heard the news.

Even Lu Xun was no exception.

But compared with Yu Fan, Lu Xun is still better.

Lu Xun quickly controlled his gaffe and began to think carefully about what the Wu soldier said.

As he thought about it, Lu Xun's face became more and more ugly.

What a good planner hates most is that some things are beyond his control.

This can make people angry.

Lu Xun slammed his palm heavily on the table, with anger on his face not concealed at all.

But when Lu Xun opened his mouth, no rebuke came out of his mouth.

Lu Xun originally wanted to interrogate the Wu soldier.

But Lu Xun immediately thought that if these two pieces of information were not credible, Yu Fan would not have brought the Wu soldier to him.

This judgment was like a spell that bound Lu Xun's body and sucked away all his strength.

After finishing his memorial, Lu Xun leaned weakly on the table.

Panic, this emotion that had never appeared in Lu Xun's heart, at this moment it was like a vine, wrapping around Lu Xun's heart completely.

Even when the Gong'an was defeated that year, and even when he learned that Han Zong was causing chaos this year, although Lu Xun felt difficult and sad, he never panicked.

Whenever something important happened, Lu Xun always showed a calmness that ordinary people did not have.

But at this moment, Lu Xun also wanted to be as usual, but he gradually couldn't do it.

I don’t know how long he lay there before Lu Xun slowly recovered.

Under the flickering candlelight in the tent, Lu Xun's face turned blue and purple.

"Have the scouts been sent out?"

While asking this question, Lu Xun looked at Yu Fan.

Yu Fan saw hope in Lu Xun's eyes.

"I have already sent it out before I came here!"

Although based on the details, it is believed that what Wu Jun said can be believed.

But for such an important matter, it is impossible for Lu Xun to make a judgment based solely on his one-sided statement.

Lu Xun knew that if what this Wu soldier said was true, then a large number of Han troops should be on their way to Gong'an.

We will know the truth when the scouts come back.

"Is the message blocked?"

At this time, Lu Xun's eyes were still on Yu Fan.

At this moment, Yu Fan saw a chill in Lu Xun's eyes.

"I have issued an order that anyone who dares to spread rumors will be executed without mercy!"

The coldness in Lu Xun's eyes made Yu Fan dare not look at Lu Xun directly anymore.

At the same time, Yu Fan was secretly glad that he regained his senses and took remedial measures.

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

Yu Fan's answer made Lu Xun secretly relieved.

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, we must not let those two pieces of news spread no matter what.

Yu Fan's tent was in a secluded place in the military camp. If he had given orders in time, it would not have been difficult to temporarily control the spread of news.

After asking Yu Fan, Lu Xun fell into silence again.

Lu Xun’s silence made Yu Fan anxious.

He couldn't help but called out softly, "General!"

Yu Fan believes that we should always prepare for the worst.

Lu Xun naturally understood the meaning of Yu Fan's gentle call.

As for this, Lu Xun already had a solution in mind.

"Send a message to Sun Huan, tell him not to wait until nightfall and to launch the attack as soon as possible!"

Lu Xun's order made Yu Fan understand his intention.

Even if the news is true, as long as Sun Huan can successfully take over the Public Security Bureau, their situation will not be too passive.

Yu Fan, who understood Lu Xun's intention, quickly took the order and left.

Sun Huan was taking the oath before the battle in the parade ground with an excited look on his face.

"My sons!

The battle of Gong'an back then caused the world to have many misunderstandings about our army, and people called us rats!
We are the heroes of Jiangdong, inheriting the bravery of the Overlord. How can we be rats?

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Today is the day we will wash away our shame.

As long as we can successfully capture the police tonight, then all the gold, silver, wealth, reputation and praise will be ours.

We will become great heroes of Jiangdong!
Boys, are you excited? "

When Sun Huan's highly inspiring words spread throughout the army, they immediately received a warm response.

The 20,000 Wu soldiers shouted loudly, and the sound was deafening.

This strong sound made Sun Huan extremely satisfied.

Sun Huan was getting a little impatient, and he was hoping that night would come sooner.

At this moment, Sun Huan, who had just walked down from the high platform, met Yu Fan who came to find him.

There was an extraordinary "revolutionary friendship" between Sun Huan and Yu Fan!
So when he saw Yu Fan coming, Sun Huan immediately went forward to greet him with a smile.

Sun Huan greeted him with a smile, and Yu Fan could only force a smile on his face.

Yu Fan didn't want to waste time, so when he came to Sun Huan, he immediately said:

"The general has ordered you to launch an attack on the public security immediately."

The latest order brought by Yu Fan made Sun Huan feel confused.

What made the general change his mind?
However, Sun Huan did not think deeply about it.

After all, Lu Xun’s latest order was exactly what he wanted.

So Sun Huan immediately returned to the platform and gave the order to attack.

Wash away the shame today!
Due to his advantage of being on high ground, Guan Ping could not hide the unusual movements in the Wu army camp.

After learning that there were signs of a large number of soldiers being mobilized in the Wu army camp, Guan Ping immediately realized that Lu Xun was going to launch another fierce attack on Gong'an.

Looking at the sunlight that had not yet disappeared in the sky, Guan Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Lu Xun the thief is getting more and more impatient."

After saying this, Guan Ping, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the surrounding Han troops.

"The bandit army is about to attack the public security."

Guan Ping's words caused silence among the Han soldiers on the city wall.

Looking closely, there are quite a few Han troops on the city wall.

There was never a shortage of city defense equipment in the city.

But no one on the city wall was completely confident that they could maintain public security today.

too tired!
Due to Lu Xun's strategy, some of the Han soldiers on the city wall had not had a good rest for several days.

It is true that they all have a passion to serve their country in their hearts, but that passion cannot be used to directly resist the enemy army. Only the weapons in their hands can do that.

However, after not having a proper rest for many days, many Han soldiers were so tired that they could hardly wield their weapons for long.

Even the fatigue from many days made it difficult for archers to aim at the enemy.

Guan Ping felt very guilty about the silence of the Han army.

He really wanted to defend Gong'an City, but he was not Mi Yang after all.

Perhaps Lu Xun's plan would be completely cracked in front of Mi Yang, but he couldn't do it.

If a general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted. This is probably what happened to me.

However, he can be incompetent, but he cannot do nothing.

He, Guan Ping, is Guan Yu’s eldest son!

"Brave men, join me in resisting the enemy army!"

After saying this, Guan Ping drew his weapon and stood at the forefront of the city wall.

Wu Jun wants Gong'an City?
Then just step over your own dead body!
Inspired by Sun Huan, the Wu army was in high spirits and was determined to capture Gong'an City in one fell swoop.

Under the leadership of Guan Ping, the Gong'an defenders endured exhaustion and were determined to fight to the death with the Wu army.

But what neither of them knew was that just a few dozen miles outside the city of Gong'an, several Wu army scouts were fleeing with blood all over their bodies.

These Wu army scouts were sent by Yu Fan to scout the retreat route.

The Wu army scout who was leading the group had an expression of intense fear on his face.

"So many, so many Han troops!

All over the mountains and plains!"
