Chapter 6: The Dilemma

As Mi Zhu took out the letter and quickly checked it, the more he looked at the depths of his heart, the more frightened he became.

This letter was previously intercepted from the hands of Jiangdong spies.

The content of the letter is the dedication of Jiangling agreed by Mi Fang and Lu Meng.

Mi Zhu is very familiar with his brother's handwriting, and he suddenly understands the cause and effect of the matter without confirming it after reading it.

Immediately, his eyebrows tightened, and he suddenly looked at Huo Yi's body.

At this moment, he finally understood why the other party wanted to run wild and chase after him that day, so that he could rush back to Jiangling to sit down.

After pondering carefully, Mi Zhu couldn't help but feel a cold sweat behind him, Mi Fanggui was instigated to rebel against the enemy for the Taishou of Nanjun, and Jingzhou was indeed in a crisis-ridden situation.

Just like Fang Cai, if he hadn't arrived in time, the two sides would have fought fiercely.

After all, Mi Fang is a veteran-level veteran, and he has assisted Guan Yu in guarding the town for many years, so he naturally still has a lot of henchmen in the city.

Mi Zhu only felt extremely frightened after thinking carefully, and after groaning for a while, his expression suddenly became quite serious, and he said sharply:

"Come on, take Mi Fang to the general and put him in prison, and then report to the king for disposal after retreating from the enemy."

As soon as these words fell, his whole body suddenly became aura, and his words also contained endless anger.

From the time of the defeat of Haixi, Mi Zhu sent money and food and married his only little sister, so as to successfully help Liu Bei recover.

Mi's can be said to have poured everything into today's honor and status.

But now his younger brother wants to betray the Liu family and join Jiangdong, if Jingzhou is surrendered, the Mi family's former investment will be wiped out in an instant.

How can Mi Zhu tolerate this, and how can he not be angry?

"喏~"

The sword-wielding attendants brought by his command gave up their hands and wanted to step forward, and all the dead soldiers immediately firmly used their figures to block Mi Fang's body, intending to stop them.

However, at this time, Mi Fang's expression relaxed slightly, and he waved his hand to signal the dead soldiers to scatter on both sides, allowing Mi Zhu's attendants to come over and take over control from Huo Yi's sword.

The matter was revealed, and Shicai intended to resist because he was worried that after the matter reached the front line, Guan Yu would use the right of the fake festival to cut it first, making it difficult to save his life!

But now that Mi Zhu has come to Jiangling, Mi Fang knows very well that his life is safe, and after the war, his brother's heart will basically be handed over to the king of Hanzhong.

Therefore, when he saw Mi Zhu's arrival, his expression was relaxed and he gave up resistance.

After escorting Mi Fang to take care of him, Liao Hua also waved his hand and ordered the elite soldiers under his command to rush up and disarm the dead soldiers armed with knives and axes to control them.

Controlling the situation, Mi Zhu's tense face relaxed a little, and he looked sideways at Huo Yi on the side, and said with incomprehension in his words:

"General Huo, there is a little doubt about Zhu, I don't know if I can solve my doubts?"

"General An Han is filial piety for his father in Zhijiang for Yi Yuan, but why can he know that Mi Taishou and Jiangdong Gou are in harmony?"

Seeing that the traitor was solved without blood, Huo Yi also looked good at the moment, and responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Mi Zhu's pupils shrank, and then he nodded solemnly and said, "General Huo is really smart, I just don't understand this." ”

"Speaking of this, I have to thank Master Liao."

After the words fell, Huo Yi moved his gaze to Liao Hua on the side, cast a rather grateful look, and said, "This is all the situation discovered by Brother Yuan Jian's young general who went north to support the defense of the city. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mi Zhu looked to the side, and Liao Hua quickly arched his hand when he saw this: "Don't hide it from General An Han, this matter is exactly when Hua defends the city, and it is found that there are suspicious people who frequently enter the city to carry out activities around Mi Tai's mansion." ”

"Since General Guan's father and son are both on the expedition, Hua didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he sent someone to ask Yu Shaoxian."

He explained with a smile as he spoke quickly.

"Oh~ I see."

Hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Mi Zhu gradually dispelled his doubts.

Seeing that he was no longer entangled in this matter, Liao Hua took advantage of his inattention to quietly look at Huo Yi and smiled.

Seeing this, Huo Yi also smiled.

Before he decided to come to Mi Mansion, he had already thought that if Mi Zhu came to Jiangling and learned the truth that his younger brother wanted to collude with Jiangdong, he would definitely wonder why he knew this very well.

That's why he discussed with Liao Hua in advance, and the two sides were just able to sing double reeds to cover up.

If Huo Yi said that he had discovered the situation with the eyes and ears of the Huo family, it would inevitably be that Mi Zhu would not suspect that he had been spying on Mi Fang, causing displeasure in his heart.

Now Mi Zhugui is the general of An Han, ranking above the ministers, and is quite favored by Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong.

Huo Yi knew that there was no need to make a feud with the Mi family.

What's more, Jingzhou is now in the midst of a great enemy, and only by uniting internally can we work together to resist the enemy.

Dispelling the doubts in his heart, Mi Zhu only mentioned the matter, his eyes were locked, and he said with a serious expression: "In the letter that I just intercepted, I saw that Lu Meng asked Zifang to prepare, and he would immediately march up the Shuojiang River to attack Jingzhou. ”

"I wonder if General Huo has the skill to defend against the enemy?"

As soon as these words fell, Huo Yi seemed to have been prepared for a long time, took out a map of the detailed terrain of Jingxiang County, such as mountains and rivers and hung it on the screen, and then pointed to the two and analyzed:

"To make a plan to resist the enemy, we must first analyze the strategy of how the Wu army will enter the army if it attacks."

After that, he glanced at Mi Zhu, Liao Hua nodded quite agreeably, and then continued: "This is Jiangling City, this is the public security ......"

"Jiangling is located on the north bank of the river, the public security department is on the south bank of the downstream, and then down the east of the river is Dongting Lake, where the river and Xiangshui meet."

"Since the two sides stopped talking about the border with Xiangshui a few years ago, Baqiu, an important town located on the edge of the lake, belongs to the Jiangdong side."

"Since Baqiu is a stone's throw away from the public security, General Guan later built beacons all over the river to monitor the movements of the Wu soldiers downstream, and also to be able to light fires and warn in case of emergency."

"If Jiangdong wants to march this time, it must march west against the west from the Lukou battalion of the garrison, and take the lead in uprooting the beacon towers along the coast to avoid arousing the vigilance of our army."

When the words fell, Huo Yi's face suddenly became solemn, and he said: "It's just that the beacons along the river may already exist in name only, and it is difficult to become our eyes and ears to monitor the downstream." ”

"Huh? Why is that? ”

When Liao Hua heard this, he looked frightened, and hurriedly responded: "There is one along the river Fengsui almost every few miles, and they are horns of each other, could it be that the Wu army captured it so quickly?" ”

"But our army has not received the slightest news of the enemy's attack."

"Yes~ Can Jiangdong still ignore the Fengsui along the river and march directly?"

After Mi Zhu heard this, he also echoed.

"If the Wu army attacks in columns, news can naturally come, but what if the enemy general Lu Meng uses unconventional means?"

"We have trade with Jiangdong, and Jingzhou as a transit hub often has merchants from Wu, if Lu Meng chooses the elite to lie on the merchant ship and pretend to be a merchant, once he deceives the Fengsui soldiers into entering the country, how to deal with it?"

As soon as these words fell, Mi Zhu and Liao Hua suddenly froze, but after a careful review, they felt that Huo Yi's words seemed to be very reasonable, if Lu Meng really deployed like this, then he was afraid that he would really face a predicament.
