Mi Han

Chapter 86 Black Clouds Overwhelm the City and Destroy the City
Outside the Public Security City, the weather today is particularly gloomy.

Billowing black clouds were like condensed ink, pressing heavily on the sky of Public Security City.

The dark clouds rolling like black dragons in the sky seem to be coming straight to the Public Security City in the next moment.

This scene created a sense of urgency invisibly for the people in the city.

Outside the Public Security City, Jiangdong's army in black armor flocked to the Public Security City like black tides that could not be seen.

For a moment, the entire world was shrouded in dark colors.

Looking at the [-] Jiangdong army rushing towards the Public Security City like a huge wave below, Mi Yang on the top of the city looked solemn.

He knew that with the police in Jiancheng, it would not be so easy for Jiangdong's army to attack the city.

But facing so many enemies, he couldn't help but be careless.

Mi Yang opened his eyes and looked far away, and he saw many flags flying proudly in the cold wind among the tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops below.

"Lu, Huang, Han, Pan, Jiang, Zhou, Xu"

The names of the Eighteen Tiger Officials in Jiangdong, which are familiar to later generations, are not engraved on the cold history books, but are full of vitality, showing their demeanor to the fullest in front of Mi Yang's eyes.

Seeing so many flags of Jiangdong famous generals, Mi Yang couldn't help sighing.

This time, Jiangdong was able to come out in full force.

It's just a pity that I didn't see Sun Quan's handsome flag.

And when Mi Yang was on the top of the city, observing the tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops, Lu Meng, the general of Jiangdong's [-] troops, was also looking up at the top of the city.

His eyes were full of determined determination.

Before the expedition, Jiangdong's generals asked him what to do after Jiangdong's army arrived at the city.

Lu Meng replied: "The enemy is few and we are numerous, and we have the advantage. We should suppress them with large soldiers and surround the city on all sides. First disturb the enemy's mind, and then destroy the city."

Not only did Lu Meng plan this way, he also did it.

When he led the [-] troops ashore, he ordered the [-] troops to disperse in all directions before he arranged for the troops to repair the barracks, and wrapped up the Public Security City tightly.

And because the city on the east side of the city faces the back road of Jiangdong's army, this city wall is the most important.

Lu Meng chose to sit here in person, facing Mi Yang in person.

For the remaining three city walls, Lu Meng assigned Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Jiang Qin as the main generals in all aspects to make unified arrangements for the siege.

And just after the army under his command surrounded the Public Security City, Lu Meng looked at the guards of Jingzhou hidden in the battlements on the city wall, and he summoned a man.

The man was close to the age of knowing the destiny, and he was dressed in the crown of a Confucian scholar.

His face is stern, and his clothes are neatly arranged, without any dust. Looking at his appearance, one can tell that he is a minister of a country.

After this person arrived, Lu Meng said to him:
"Zhongxiang, the governor wants to send you into the city as an envoy to persuade that Mi Zisheng to surrender. I don't know if Zhongxiang is willing to go through this."

The person summoned by Lu Meng was none other than Yu Fan, Yu Zhongxiang, a well-known official from Jiangdong.

Yu Fan, a native of Yuyao in Kuaiji, is a well-known master of Confucian classics in Jiangdong and even in the world.

Yu Fan had already worked for the Sun family during the Sun Ce era.

After surrendering to Sun Ce, and during the more than [-] years since Sun Quan took power, Yu Fan repeatedly made admonitions for the country.

But also because most of his words are relatively ruthless, he was regarded as a "family treasure" by Sun Ce, but he was hated by Sun Quan and was quite alienated.

Of course, although Sun Quan hated Yu Fan, Yu Fan's words were the best in Jiangdong.

Because of Yu Fan's talent, Sun Quan sometimes had to rely on him.

Naturally, Lu Meng also knew Yu Fan's talent, so when he set off on the expedition, he specially brought Yu Fan who had been idle at home to listen to him, just thinking that he could be used one day.

After hearing Lu Meng's order, Yu Fan with a serious face immediately bowed to Chief Lu Meng, "Be loyal to the country and do what you wish."

Seeing that Yu Fan was willing to serve as an envoy for him, Lu Meng couldn't help being overjoyed.

But the purpose of his sending Yu Fan out to Gong'an City was not just to persuade Mi Yang to surrender, but for other purposes.

Lu Meng was about to reveal his real purpose to Yu Fan, but Yu Fan took the lead and said to Lu Meng, "Don't worry about the governor."

"This time when I enter the city, I will definitely observe the hearts of the people in the city for the governor."

"If there is a chance of turmoil in the hearts of the people, I will disturb it for the capital."

Hearing Yu Fan's words clearly explaining his thoughts, Lu Meng stroked his beard and burst out laughing.

This time he took Yu Fan with him, which was right.

After taking the order, Yu Fan took the envoy's exclusive White Feather Talisman Festival from Lu Meng's attendant, and then embarked on the journey to Gong'an City.

After arriving at the wide moat, Yu Fan stepped on the improvised raft, and then headed towards the Public Security City under the rowing of the guards around him.

And Yu Fan's arrival was also noticed by Mi Yang on the top of the city in time.

Seeing a person holding a messenger's talisman coming towards Gong'an City, Mi Yang did not order the soldiers on the city wall to shoot arrows.

When the two armies are at war, they will not be beheaded.

This point is an unspoken rule among the major forces in the world.

For example, before Mi Yang sent envoys to Xunyang City, although Sun Jun was angry with the two things Mi Yang sent, he still did not do anything to slaughter the envoys Mi Yang sent.

Historically, during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he said "reverse Wei" to Cao Wei.

But when the two armies were at war, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi often sent envoys to each other.

The purpose of doing this is to let the envoys inquire about the facts of some enemy troops.

For example, let the messenger see how the morale of the enemy's army is.

Because there was no obstruction from Mi Yang, Yu Fan finally stepped onto the other side of the moat after paddling for a while.

When he came to the city of Gong'an, Yu Fan observed closely the scene in the barracks outside the city of Gong'an.

And when he saw the thousands of ferocious barbarians in fine armor, Yu Fan's heart tightened.

At this time, a hanging basket was slowly lowered on the city wall.

Seeing this, Yu Fan asked his guards to wait under the city, and then he got on the hanging basket calmly.

When he entered the hanging basket, he was dragged towards the city wall by the soldiers on the city.

The city wall of Public Security is majestic and towering, several feet above the ground.

Yu Fanyue was pulled up by the soldiers on the city wall, the farther he was from the ground.

When he looked at the ground at this time, the guard he left on the ground looked like an ant from his height, extremely tiny.

After the soldiers on the city pulled for a long time, Yu Fan was finally pulled to the city wall.

After Yu turned over to the city wall, he saw a general wearing bright light armor inside the city wall, looking at him intently.

In the previous report of Sun Huan's defeat, Sun Jun knew that Mi Yang, the Lord of Public Security, was wearing a bright armor.

Therefore, when he saw the person in front of him wearing the Mingguang Armor, Yu Fan already had a lot of guesses about the identity of this person.

Yu Fan first bowed to Mi Yang, and then said, "Yu Fan, the envoy of Jiangdong Metropolitan Governor, came to pay homage to Master Mi at the order of the Metropolitan Governor."

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

After learning that the chief general of An'an was Mi Yang, Lu Meng sent spies to find out Mi Yang's details.

So Yu Fan knew Mi Yang's current official position.
