Mi Han

Chapter 792: Night Secrets

Chapter 792: Night Secrets

In winter, the days pass quickly.

Before they knew it, after who knows how many waves of Han troops had dumped mud into the moat, night gradually enveloped the outside of Chaisang City.

As night fell, the sound of gongs and drums was heard in the Han army camp.

Tens of thousands of Han troops retreated to the rear like a tide.

The retreat of the Han army did not make Quan Cong on the city wall happy.

On the contrary, Quan Cong's face was filled with solemnity.

Quan Cong knew that the Han army's offensive would be even more fierce the next day.

Quan Cong now only hopes that the two supporting forces on the Yangtze River can land as soon as possible and form a pincer attack with him.

otherwise

Thinking of the worst outcome, Quan Cong ordered his men to light torches on the city wall under the cover of night.

The numerous torches were particularly dazzling in the night sky, and those torches were rising and falling with a unique rhythm, which was a way for Wu Jun to convey messages to the outside world.

The message released by Quan Cong would naturally be delivered to Lu Fan soon.

In order to appease Quan Cong, Lu Fan also ordered people to pass messages with torches, informing Quan Cong that he would launch a general attack tomorrow.

Even if the Han army noticed the waving of torches from the two armies, how could outsiders know the secrets between the high-ranking generals of the Wu army under normal circumstances?

Mi Yang didn't know it at first.

Until he looked at the man behind him:

"Do you know what message Lü Fan and Quan Cong are conveying?"

After hearing Mi Yang's question, the man quickly answered:

"Quan Cong is asking Lü Fan for help, and Lü Fan is telling him that a general offensive will be launched tomorrow."

This man was none other than Lu Dai's son Lu Kai.

As the war was about to begin, in order to show his loyalty, Lu Dai secretly sent Lu Kai to Mi Yang as a hostage.

As the son of Lu Dai, it is not surprising that Lu Kai knows this.

After listening to Lu Kai's explanation, Mi Yang suddenly understood.

But soon, an idea came to Mi Yang's mind.

Mi Yang looked at Lu Kai with concern.

Lu Kai felt a little cold when he was looked at.

From Mi Yang's gaze, Lu Kai realized that Mi Yang wanted to do more than just care about him.

Lu Kai's intuition was right.

After looking at Lu Kai for a long time, Mi Yang asked:

"You've just arrived in the army, do you usually feel bored?"

Lu Kai didn't expect that this was what Mi Yang cared about.

He had just arrived at the Han army camp and was still feeling nervous, so how could he feel bored?

Lu Kai was about to deny it, but Mi Yang didn't give him a chance to speak.

"I guess you'll be bored."

Mi Yang's tone was very decisive.

Lu Kai: ???

Before Lu Kai could react, Mi Yang immediately continued:

"In order to relieve your depression, I have a task for you.

Since you are familiar with Wu Jun's various secret codes, why don't you write down those codes one by one on paper during this period of time.

I will have what you wrote bound into a book later."

Mi Yang's idea was not a whim.

Many people may have forgotten that several years ago, after Mi Yang forced Xu Xiang to surrender, he asked him to write down his understanding of the Wu generals on paper, and finally compiled them into a book.

That book had secretly helped Mi Yang a lot.

Since there is an excellent precedent, there is no reason for Mi Yang not to continue to do so.

As for whether Lu Kai is willing?

Like Xu Xiang back then, Mi Yang was not worried at all.

Sure enough, Mi Yang's sudden request was beyond Lu Kai's expectations.

But when he thought that his future fate depended on Mi Yang, Lu Kai finally agreed naturally.

After letting Ding Feng take Lu Kai away, Mi Yang thought of the information he had just received and ordered all the generals to come to his tent to discuss the matter.

Catch the turtle in the jar tomorrow!

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Lu Fan put on his armor with the help of his son Lu Ju.

Looking at his own white hair in the bronze mirror, Lu Fan couldn't help but sigh that youth is fleeting.

It seemed like in just a moment, the handsome young man from the past turned into an old man with half his body buried in the ground.

"I have been dreaming about Bofu and Gongjin recently.

Do you think your father will see them soon?"

As soon as Lu Fan expressed his emotion, he aroused the dissatisfaction of Lu Ju behind him.

Lu Ju discovered that Lu Fan had been frequently expressing emotion for no reason lately, and most of those emotions were unlucky.

“Father is in his prime!

Besides, the war is imminent, and the father should be encouraging the spirits, why are you speaking in such a sad tone?"

Lu Ju's dissatisfaction made Lu Fan laugh heartily.

Although he has few friends left in the world, fortunately he has a loyal and filial child.

After Lu Fan put on the helmet himself, he turned around and looked at Lu Chuan and said:

“Although I have already planned for today’s battle, I believe that my chances of winning are high.

But Mi Yang is not an ordinary person, and the Tian Ce Army has always been good at fighting, so his father is not completely confident.

If my father wins today, that would be great.

若败

Listen to your father. Life and death are common in battles. Don't think about seeking revenge on the Han army in the future."

After giving these instructions, Lu Fan saw that Lu Ju looked unhappy, so he quickly changed his tone and said:

"Of course, I am still very confident about today's battle.

After all, even if my father fails to reach the shore, his life will be safe."

After hearing Lu Fan's change of tone, Lu Ju showed a helpless look on his face.

His father was always like this, always liking to consider the worst possible outcome before every big battle.

It's really a bit of unnecessary worry.

Fortunately, since he had seen it many times before, Lu Ju didn't take it too seriously.

"The son is on the boat, wishing his father a victorious return!"

As always, Lu Ju sent his blessings to Lu Fan.

After receiving Lu Ju's blessing, Lu Fan left the room with a look of relief and came to the attic where the meeting was held.

Before Lu Fan arrived, the attic was already filled with generals.

When the generals saw Lu Fan coming, they did not say anything, but just stood up silently and bowed to welcome him.

Lu Fan did not respond with words. He waved his hand gently to indicate that he did not need to be polite, then walked to the main seat and sat down.

As Lu Fan took his seat, the attic fell into silence again.

Lu Fan and other Wu generals were waiting, waiting for the news they wanted to hear.

Waiting can sometimes be a very anxious thing, especially before such an important battle.

Fortunately, their wait was not in vain.

About an hour later, two pieces of news were delivered to the attic one after another.

"Report: The Han army launched a fierce attack on Chaisang just like yesterday."

"Report: General Lu Dai has ordered his troops to attack downstream!"

When these two pieces of news rang out in the attic, some Wu generals began to breathe faster.

Things were developing step by step as Lu Fan had imagined.

But Lu Fan still kept his eyes closed, standing still like a mountain.

until:

"Report: Thousands of Han soldiers are rushing out of the port and heading downstream!"

After hearing the news, Lu Fan, who was originally drowsy, woke up instantly.

Lu Fan's eyes suddenly opened. There was no turbidity in his eyes, only endless fighting spirit.

God bless Great Wu, his plan will succeed!
