Lu Su hurriedly stopped Han Dang, backed away, and secretly discussed: "This is a bitter plan. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. General Han must not ruin the plan."
"Is there anyone in this world who is willing to be beaten?" Han Dang was furious and raised his sandbag-sized fist towards Lu Su: "Sir, would you like me to punch you?"
Seeing that Han Dang didn't believe it, Lu Su said helplessly: "General, if you don't want to believe it, come with me to visit Old General Huang again and see for yourself."
Han Dang was furious, and the two of them came to Huang Gai's residence again. It was already time to turn on the lights. There were only confidants guarding the courtyard. The lights were on in the room, but it was Kan Ze who was discussing strategies with Huang Gai.
Seeing Lu Su and Han Dang coming in, Kan Ze hurriedly collected the letter and left before leaving. Huang Gai lay on the bed with a look of pain on his face, crying out in pain.
Lu Su said helplessly: "General Han is very angry and wants to raise troops to cause chaos. It is better for the public to tell him the truth!"
"You must not do it!" Huang Gai sat up from his couch in shock, clasping his fists and saying, "Yigong must not be impulsive, this is a cruel plan!"
"Surely it's a trick?" Han Dang was surprised, and immediately said displeased: "I think back then, when I followed General Sun, not much later than General Huang, and lived and died for decades, you all discussed this matter secretly and wanted to hide it from me. Could it be that you can't trust Han Dang? "
Lu Su said helplessly: "What General Huang said is absolutely true, and this matter is related to Jiang's safety, the gains and losses of the Central Plains, and the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. The fewer people know about it, the better. If the news is leaked, all the previous efforts will be wasted!"
Han Dang said anxiously: "Han was just a slave in Liaodong back then. If he hadn't met General Sun by chance and got his guidance, how could he be where he is today? How could he have betrayed his master by being favored by the Third Marquis of Wu and serving in the conquests from all over the world?"
"What Mr. Righteous said is wrong!" Huang Gaiyan said: "Don't I know that General is loyal and righteous? It's just that you are upright and impatient. If you know this, there may be flaws in today's execution."
Lu Su also nodded and said: "If General Han knows this plan, he may not oppose Liu Qi with the other generals today, and may even start an army to cause chaos."
"So, do you think I can't act?" Han Dang understood, clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "Okay, okay, Han will let you two see what real acting skills are today."
After saying this and walking away, Lu Su was worried and ran all the way to the military camp. He saw that Han Dang had summoned the generals for discussion, and they were all gearing up.
Chen Wu said angrily: "Liu Qi has deceived others too much. He clearly doesn't take us seriously! A foreign son-in-law dares to usurp the throne. Why don't you come to the house now? I want to see what Zhao Zilong is capable of."
Han Dang stopped everyone and advised: "If we rebel at this time, General Huang will fight in vain. He is afraid that the Wei army will take advantage of the opportunity and invade Jiangdong. Jiangdong will be in danger! Wu Hou is waiting for good news in Jiangdong. We can't mess up our position. , to disappoint the lord."
Quan Cong was still calm and frowned: "Although General Han's words are reasonable, the bad breath is difficult to swallow. We have made great contributions to Jiangdong, so it's okay if we can't exonerate General Huang. We are also behind Liu Qi, Zhao Yun and others. It’s such a shame and humiliation that everyone will laugh at you.”
Chen Wu nodded and said: "This is very true. The dignified general of Jiangdong was deceived by a mere child! When this matter spread, what did the soldiers in the camp think? What did the Jiangdong elders think? What did the Marquis of Wu think? What did the whole Wei Kingdom think? How can we lead troops to fight in the future, and what dignity can we have in this world?"
"Everyone, please be patient!" Han Dang raised his hands to signal everyone to calm down, and said: "If we kill each other now, we will laugh for thousands of years. We can first earn back our face for the Jiangdong people, and then come to settle accounts with Liu Qi. Not too late."
Chen Wu hurriedly asked: "What is General Han's advice?"
Han Dang sneered and said: "Liu Qi laughed at me today for saying that I have no one in Jiangdong and cannot defeat Cao Jun. When we go to battle tomorrow, you will fight with your lives to surpass Zhao Yun and Chen Dao. We will let him know our strength and humiliate him in public when we return to the camp. Wouldn't it be wrong?" Wonderful?"
"This is a great plan!" All the generals were delighted and nodded one after another. This was indeed the best way to save face. It could also make Liu Qi laugh at him and relieve his anger just thinking about it.
Han Dang then arranged for the generals to return to their camps to encourage the three armies. Tomorrow they must kill more enemies to break the formation, overshadow Zhao Yun's limelight, and show the majesty of Jiangdong's troops.
Lu Su looked at the camp gate for a long time and murmured: "I can't believe that Han Dang, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can also cheat."
Early the next morning, Liu Qi raised his tent and wanted to go out of the city to fight with the Wei army. He ordered Chen Dao to be the vanguard general. Chen Wu and other Jiangdong generals asked for orders to fight for it, and the two sides couldn't argue.
Ling Tong sneered: "General Liu punished General Huang yesterday. The laws were so strict, but today he is so nepotistic. How can he convince the public?"
Liu Qi said: "In that case, I will take up my duties as the vanguard on the left and right. Chen Dao and Ling Tong will each lead an army to open the way to meet the enemy."
The two sides stopped arguing and went to prepare. Ling Tong and Chen Dao each led three thousand fine cavalry and headed straight for Bagong Mountain.
Wei Jun's careful work had already discovered the news. Cao Cao laughed when he heard the report: "This must be Liu Qi's punishment of Huang Gai. The Jiangdong generals are dissatisfied and have no choice but to go out of the city to fight to avoid fighting within the city."
Cao Ren said: "Liu Qi sent the left and right vanguards to defeat one side and return to the city to cause chaos."
Cao Cao believed this and ordered Cao Ren to personally lead the troops to meet the enemy. It would be best to kill the Jiangdong generals and intensify the conflict. Liu Qi would not be able to control the generals and Huainan would be within easy reach.
The two armies came to the foot of the mountain and set up their respective positions. Cao Ren looked at the coalition forces and realized that he had met him several times and saw another young general leading the army. He was secretly happy. If he killed this young general, the Wu army would be in chaos.
While he was observing, the young general raised his gun and mounted his horse, stepped forward and shouted: "The thief Cao deceived the king and tried to usurp the throne. You are helping the king to do evil and dare to invade our territory. Come and die quickly."
Cao Ren snorted coldly: "You have such a strong tone, little kid, tell me your name!"
"This is Jiangdong Lingtong, who is here to take your old traitor's head!"
Seeing Ling Tong's arrogance, Cao Ren couldn't help but became furious and was about to fight. However, he saw a general next to him holding his fists and saying, "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? It's just an unknown general. There is no need for the governor to do it himself. He can just leave it to the junior general."
Cao Ren looked back and saw that it was the deputy general Chunyu Dao. His three brothers were generals he had recruited in Xuzhou. They were extremely powerful and skilled with bows and horses. They had guarded Shouchun in the past few years, and all three of them contributed, so he ordered Chunyu to lead the battle.
As soon as Chunyu Dao came out of the battle, Ling Tong shouted: "I want to kill Cao Ren today. It has nothing to do with you, so don't show off."
"Jiangdong Shuji has such a loud tone!" Director Chun Yu was furious, clapped his horse and came forward, growling: "Take my knife!"
"Hmph, you don't overestimate your abilities!" Ling Tong was already proficient in martial arts. After being humiliated in the Battle of Hefei, he trained more diligently, visited famous teachers all over, and made great progress.
Seeing the opponent charging towards him with a sword, his eyes gleamed slightly, he raised his hand and danced out a spear, stabbing straight into the chest of the enemy general.
The two horses crossed each other, and with a pop, Chun Yudao fell off his horse. His strong body bounced like a sack, rolling in the dust, and his broadsword flew far away.
