Chapter 777: Finding a Way to Survive and Drinking the Blood of a Famous General

Zhou Qian's actions could not be hidden from Lu Ju behind Lu Dai.

When Lu Ju saw Zhou Cang's stern face and something he seemed to be holding in his arms, a chill suddenly rose in his body.

To prevent Lü Dai from getting into danger, the panicked Lü Ju rushed forward and hugged Lü Dai, crying and admonishing him:

"Father, please accept the order quickly! Please accept the order quickly!"

Lu Ju's strong reaction attracted the attention of other Wu generals.

Seeing Lu Ju so panicked, and seeing that there seemed to be something else in Zhou Qian's arms, these experienced people in politics instantly had a guess in their heads.

As a result, several Wu generals who were loyal to Lu Dai also hurried forward to join the team that was crying and admonishing Lu Dai.

But as Sun Quan said, these 20,000 elite soldiers were not Lu Dai's private property.

Most of the other Wu generals followed Lu Dai because of Lu Xun's orders.

For them, their loyalty was to Sun Quan.

Although they also guessed what Zhou Qian relied on, their reaction was obviously to stand on Zhou Qian's side.

They gradually placed their hands on the hilts of the knives at their waists.

Most of the Wu generals' actions could not be hidden from Lu Ju who had been observing the situation.

Seeing this, Lu Ju was almost scared to death.

"Father!"

In a flash, Lü Ju, in a hurry, pressed Lü Dai's body with his hands and knelt down towards Zhou Cang:

"Messenger, the general has received the imperial edict!"

Lu Ju kept repeating these words.

Lu Ju's words did not make Zhou Qian relax his vigilance.

What he wanted was Lu Dai's answer!

Zhou Qian's gaze was always on Lu Dai, and Lu Dai finally came back to his senses from his sadness after Lu Ju's actions.

Lu Dai raised his eyes to look at Zhou Qian in front of him, and then looked at the many former generals around him who had fear in their eyes. He had never thought of betraying Sun Quan, so what choice did he have at the moment?

Under the tense gaze of the crowd, Lu Dai stretched out his hands in sorrow and said, "Your Majesty, accept the imperial edict!"

These three simple words seemed to have drained all the strength in Lu Dai's body.

After saying these three words, Lu Dai's body softened and he fell directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Ju became very anxious again.

After hearing Lu Dai's words about accepting the imperial edict, Zhou Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he could take down Lu Dai directly with the secret decree in his arms, such a development would not maximize his interests.

Now that Lu Dai is under pressure, the best outcome is to accept the imperial edict directly.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Zhou Qian looked at Lu Dai, who was lying dizzy on the ground, and felt some pity for him.

If he remembered correctly, Lu Dai was nearly seventy years old this year.

With his old body and the mental trauma he suffered today, it is understandable that he is weak.

But very quickly, Zhou Qian used his reason to dispel his sympathy for Lu Dai.

He is almost seventy years old. Instead of staying at home to enjoy his retirement, he comes out to oppose Sima.

To be too old to die is to be a thief!

Zhou Qian half-knelt down, looked at Lu Ju in front of him, and said softly to him:

"Your Majesty has ordered me, and I cannot disobey.

I have helped you so far, and from now on, it all depends on your own luck."

After saying this with a sigh, Zhou Qian stood up and walked out.

Zhou Qian's words made Lu Ju look grateful towards him.

Indeed, Zhou Qian did all the help he could.

But what Lu Ju didn't know was that the moment Zhou Qian turned around and looked at Zhou Yi, a happy smile appeared on his face.

The pleasure of secretly stirring up trouble in dark places made Zhou Qian feel as if he had discovered a new meaning in life.

After Zhou Cang left, most of the Wu generals, knowing that Lü Dai had fallen out of favor, followed Zhou Cang's steps and walked out of Lü Dai's tent, perhaps to avoid suspicion or perhaps to curry favor with the upstart.

Soon after, only a few of Lu Dai's confidants were left in the entire spacious tent.

When Lu Dai, who was dizzy, saw this scene, he was so shocked that he fainted.

"Father, Father"

Inside the big tent, Lu Ju's cries kept echoing.

Desolate and helpless.

I don’t know how much time had passed, Lu Dai slowly opened his eyes and looked at everything around him that was familiar yet unfamiliar.

It felt familiar because he was in his own tent.

The reason for the strangeness was that, compared to the previous celebrities who always treated him as the center of attention, when he opened his eyes, he only saw Lu Ju.

"Father, how long have you been unconscious?"

Lu Dai's voice was hoarse and weak.

After hearing Lü Dai's question, Lü Ju quickly replied:

"Nearly a whole day."

I didn't expect that I would be unconscious for so long.

After Lü Dai sighed, he asked Lü Ju:

"During the time when my father was in a coma, did any generals come to visit my father?"

When Lu Dai asked this question, Lu Ju could no longer suppress the sadness on his face.

In order not to upset Lü Dai, Lü Ju could only say tactfully:

"Zi Yu has been here before."

Although Lu Ju was considering Lu Dai's health, Lu Dai saw through what Lu Ju had not yet said.

Lü Dai was asking about the generals, but Lü Ju was answering about Zhou Yu.

This shows that many generals never came to visit him.

After understanding Lu Ju's unfinished meaning, Lu Dai's face was full of bitterness and he couldn't help coughing violently.

“As the commander of an army, he fainted but no one under him came to visit him.

This shows that I have long lost the support of the generals.

Given this situation and my current physical condition, how should our army fight against the Han army?"

As Lu Dai spoke, he patted the edge of the couch beneath him to express his anger and unwillingness.

Lu Dai was not a vain person. He asked Lu Ju that question because he wanted to know whether he could still be loved by the generals.

Then Lu Dai's gaze shifted to the desk not far away.

Lü Dai saw many more official documents on the desk. He pointed at them curiously and asked Lü Ju:

"Why were those documents sent here?"

Could it be that something big happened in the camp while I was unconscious?

Seeing that Lü Dai had looked at the documents, Lü Ju knew that he could no longer conceal the truth, so he could only say sadly:

"Those documents were sent by the generals in the camp, asking the general to dispatch troops immediately."

Lu Ju's words were like a bolt from the blue to Lu Dai.

It is impossible that the generals in the camp were unaware of Lu Dai's fainting.

But knowing that Lu Dai was ill, they did not want him to rest for too long. They just wanted him to lead them to war as soon as he woke up.

Although Lu Dai could guess that many generals did this to show off to Sun Quan, their actions still made Lu Dai heartbroken.

Lu Dai couldn't bear it any longer. He stretched out his hand and threw the medicine in Lu Ju's hand to the ground.

"I want them to live, but they want to die!"

After shouting this, the excited Lu Dai couldn't stop coughing again.

This made Lu Ju very anxious. He didn't know whether to bring more medicine first or help Lu Dai lie down first.

When Lü Ju was at a loss, Lü Dai grabbed his hand:

"Go and secretly gather your trusted followers."

Lu Dai's sudden order startled Lu Ju so much that he stood there in a daze.

But after years as father and son, when Lu Ju saw the gloomy look on Lu Dai's face, he seemed to have guessed something.

"Father, do you want to?"

Faced with Lu Ju's speculation, Lu Dai did not want to hide it.

"You have also seen today that in His Majesty's edict, he has shown deep suspicion towards my father.

Your Majesty has always been cold and indifferent. If I can win this battle, I will still have a chance to regain your favor.

But if we lose this battle.

In the past, I would be willing to sacrifice my life for my country.

But now, why don't I find a way out for Lu?"

When saying this, Lu Dai spoke in a very low voice, ensuring that only Lu Ju could hear it.

After hearing what Lu Dai said, Lu Ju's breathing became heavy.

He had never thought about the way out that Lu Dai mentioned before.

But now think about it, it seems worth a try?

"Son, I understand. I'll go right away."

After saying this, Lu Ju didn't bother to prepare new medicine for Lu Dai, and hurried out of the tent.

Looking at Lu Ju's leaving back, Lu Dai breathed heavily and lay down heavily.

"If your ruler is unkind, don't blame your subjects for being unjust.

This world should have belonged to the Han people."

Sentences that sounded like anesthesia kept coming out of Lu Dai's mouth.

Wrapped in those words, Lu Dai gradually fell asleep.

Zhou Cang, who was reading "Records of the Grand Historian" in his tent late at night, saw Zhou Yi walking in hurriedly.

"Brother, the spies I sent out saw Lu Ju bringing some people secretly into Lu Dai's tent."

In response to Zhou Yi's report, Zhou Cang quickly put down the precious book in his hand.

"Did you see who they were?"

Zhou Yi shook his head and said:

"It's too dark to see clearly."

Although Zhou Yi's answer did not satisfy Zhou Qian, the clever Zhou Qian had some guesses in his mind after thinking about it.

He deliberately hid his whereabouts under the cover of night. If someone said that Lu Dai was talking about something upright, Zhou Cang would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.

If Zhou Cang was loyal to Sun Quan, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the war, he could use the secret decree in his arms to lead a large army to capture Lu Dai at this moment.

However, Zhou Qian was loyal to Mi Yang.

“Go back and keep watching.

Don’t tell anyone about what you saw tonight.”

After receiving Zhou Qian's instructions, Zhou Yi nodded and left the tent.

After Zhou Yi left, Zhou Cang picked up "Records of the Grand Historian" and started reading.

What Zhou Cang saw at this time was the deeds of Li Mu, a famous general of the State of Zhao.

After reading Li Mu's deeds, Zhou Cang murmured to himself with admiration:

"In this world, there are still too few people as loyal and brave as Li Mu."

Outside Chaisang City, Jiang Ji was waiting by the river with Ding Feng and Shamoke.

Seeing that no boats were approaching from a distance, the impatient Shamoke could not help but mutter:

"Mr. Jiang, you said that the Grand Marshal would arrive today. Could you have remembered it wrongly?"

Shamoke had an extremely loud voice, which made Jiang Ji's head buzz.

Jiang Ji managed to resist the urge to roll his eyes, and after walking a distance away from Shamoke, he replied concisely:

"Can't be wrong."

As a famous scholar of the time, Jiang Ji always maintained a cool demeanor in front of outsiders.

Jiang Ji's brief answer made Shamoke subconsciously open his chest.

I haven't taken a shower for a long time and I feel a little itchy.

But after stopping the itch on his body, Shamoke's heart itch became even stronger.

Shamoke showed no tact at all and walked back to Jiang Ji's side.

"But I haven't seen Da Sima's ship yet!"

As his mind began to buzz again, Jiang Ji couldn't help but clench his fists hidden in his sleeves.

But when he saw the nine-foot-tall giant next to him, Jiang Ji loosened his fist instantly.

A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists.

"Wait patiently."

After saying this, Jiang Ji walked away again.

But as soon as Jiang Ji left, Shamoke followed.

Since he was a child, Shamoke has had a fanatical attitude towards the great celebrities in China.

The two of them interacted in a funny way by the river.

This scene made Ding Feng laugh.

In terms of status, Jiang Ji is far superior to Shamoke at the moment.

But Ding Feng knew that Jiang Ji considered himself a surrendered minister and treated Mi Yang's loyal followers with great respect.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have gotten angry a long time ago.

Just as Ding Feng was watching the excitement, he discovered a fleet appeared on the river in the distance.

Going downstream allowed the fleet to move at a considerable speed.

Soon after, the fleet docked at the shore in front of Ding Feng.

After the boat stopped, Mi Yang walked out of the boat tent under the protection of his personal guards.

After seeing Mi Yang's figure, Shamoke was overjoyed and was about to step forward to meet him.

But what Shamoke didn't expect was that even with his long legs, he was not as fast as anyone else.

That person was Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji walked quickly to the shore with his head bowed, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and considerately welcomed Mi Yang ashore.

Looking at Jiang Ji's somewhat humble attitude, Shamoke was stunned.

At this time, why is Mr. Chiang not so aloof anymore?

After being brought ashore by Jiang Ji himself, Mi Yang smiled.

"I read your report on what you did in Chaisang. You did a great job."

Mi Yang has always been very fond of ministers who are capable of getting things done.

After hearing Mi Yang's praise, Jiang Ji did not dare to show any expression of taking credit on his face.

"Everything is under the guidance of Da Sima."

When Jiang Ji said this, Dong Yun just walked out from the boat awning.

When Jiang Ji saw Dong Yun, his eyes tightened - someone is coming to compete for favor?

At this time, Ding Feng and Shamoke also came together to pay homage to Mi Yang.

When Ding Feng and Shamoke finished their worship, Mi Yang smiled and waved to Shamoke to come forward.

Looking at Shamoke with his chest exposed in the cold winter, Mi Yang considerately gathered his clothes for him:

“I never thought that Shamoko, who knew nothing about military tactics, could actually recruit tens of thousands of elite soldiers for me.

You are worthy of me. I specially chose the title of General Protector of Han for you."

As soon as Mi Yang finished speaking, Shamoke became extremely happy after being praised.

Years of longing!

Shamoke was so excited that he forgot Mi Yang's current identity.

As he usually did when he was in public security, he stretched out his hand and lifted Mi Yang high up, letting out a series of cheers that were unique to barbarians.

Looking back, this is how they celebrated when they defeated the Wu army.

Shamoke's behavior frightened everyone around him.

Ding Feng and his bodyguards subconsciously wanted to draw their swords and rush forward. Even Jiang Ji showed his fist which he had hidden in his sleeve.

However, before they could move forward, they were driven back by Mi Yang.

The people around looked at Mi Yang who was lifted high by Shamoke with concern. Mi Yang was not thin, but he seemed to have no resistance in Shamoke's hands.

But seeing how Mi Yang was enjoying it, they could only suppress their anxiety.

After a while, Shamoke put Mi Yang down with satisfaction.

"Mi Lang, I miss you so much!"

When Mi Yang heard the word "Mi Lang", the smile on his face became even wider.

Seeing old friends and hearing old music is one of the great pleasures in life.

However, Mi Yang still remembered the important matter.

Mi Yang turned his gaze towards Jiang Ji and asked:

"Has the news of my coming to Chaisang been leaked?"

Jiang Ji, whose worries had just dissipated, quickly replied:

"According to the Grand Marshal's orders, no."

Jiang Ji's answer made Mi Yang nod with satisfaction.

“He Qi?

I heard that he was a famous general of Eastern Wu.

It’s been a while since I’ve fought against a famous general from the Eastern Wu Dynasty.”

After finishing speaking, Mi Yang looked at Shamoke:

"I haven't seen you for several years. I wish I could drink the blood of a famous general again!"

Mi Yang's question made Shamoke suddenly become extremely excited.

"I've been thirsty for a long time!"

As he spoke, Shamoke excitedly licked his lips with his tongue.

Mi Yang's questions and Shamoke's performance stunned the two famous scholars Dong Yun and Jiang Ji.

Was the Grand Marshal during the Gong'an period so bloody and rough?

Ding Feng and Ding Feng, who were still serving in the Wu army during the battle of Gong'an, seemed to recall some terrible experiences.

His eyes were dim and his legs were trembling.
