Shi Bao stood outside Yong'an City and thought for a long time, and then he seemed to have made a decision in his mind.

"General, do you believe Da Sima's judgment?"

Hearing Shi Bao suddenly ask this question, Han Zong was a little puzzled.

"Since I serve as the master of the Great Sima, I naturally only follow the orders of the Great Sima."

Han Zong's answer made Shi Bao relieved.

He continued: "Before Bao came to Yong'an, Da Sima had repeatedly said that Lu Xun's army was extraordinary.

Since Bao could come in the heavy rain, how could he know that Wu Jun couldn't?

General, please think about it, if Lu Xun really dares to make a decisive decision and lead his army in a surprise attack, with the current damaged city defense of Yong'an, is the general sure that he can hold it?"

Shi Bao's words caused Han Zong's expression to change.

It is true that Shi Bao's words have no basis and can only be regarded as a guess.

But the important thing is that Shi Bao named his guess in the name of Mi Yang.

As there is a famous saying in later generations: "Successful people say everything is right."

This idea is also applicable to the ancients.

No one in the world dares to ignore Mi Yang's thoughts easily.

Seeing that Han Zong was moved by his words, Shi Bao struck while the iron was hot and said:

"The general knows that Bao came to Yong'an City to share life and death with the general.

In Bao's view, it never hurts to be careful for the sake of one's own life."

No wonder Shi Bao's popularity under Mi Yang was always much better than that of Deng Ai.

Looking at his words of persuasion to Han Zong, one can see that Shi Bao is full of the ability to "empathize" with others.

Under Shi Bao's sympathy, Han Zong quickly made up his mind.

The reason why he didn't rush to repair the city defense before was because he didn't think about what Shi Bao said.

Now that Shi Bao had reminded him so clearly, Han Zong had no reason not to do it for the sake of his own safety.

Anyway, it was the people who had to do the hard work of repairing the city defenses in the rain, not him.

After thinking about it, Han Zong turned to Shi Bao and said, "What Zhong Rong said makes sense.

After returning to the city, I will order the sergeants to organize the people to repair the city defense."

After getting Han Zong's answer, Shi Bao felt relieved.

"If this is the case, Bao can safely attend tonight's banquet."

After saying this, Shi Bao smiled and entered Yong'an City with Han Zong.

The news of Shi Bao's arrival quickly spread throughout Yong'an City due to Han Zong's deliberate spread.

Under the influence of this news, Han Zong's invitation was responded to by almost everyone with status in Yong'an City.

Although the bloody banquet happened not long ago and many people were still frightened, there was a reason why they had to see Shi Bao.

When night fell, many famous Yong'an residents entered the county governor's mansion again with trepidation.

As soon as they arrived at the banquet, they searched everywhere for traces of Shi Bao.

Their strange gazes could not escape Han Zong's eyes.

Han Zong was also happy to see this scene.

Han Zong is going to hold a special banquet tonight, not only to entertain Shi Bao well, but also to let everyone know about Shi Bao's arrival.

Only in this way can the evil thoughts hidden in some people's hearts be dispelled.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Han Zong stood up and took Shi Bao with him, and visited everywhere in the crowded banquet.

Every time he visited a famous person, Han Zong would introduce to them the story of Shi Bao's journey to find the Ming Lord.

After hearing about Shi Bao's deeds, many elderly Yong'an celebrities almost laughed from ear to ear.

The wrinkles on their faces also seemed to have relaxed a lot.

After learning about Shi Bao's deeds, it is not difficult to understand Mi Yang's intention in sending him to Yong'an.

Many celebrities have never seen Shi Bao, but they do not doubt that Han Zong is deceiving them.

The reason is simple. If Han Zong dares to use this matter to deceive him, he is making fun of Mi Yang's reputation.

Once Han Zong did something like this, even if Han Zong managed to defend Yong'an in the end, Mi Yang would definitely not be able to spare him.

Han Zong didn't dare, let alone had no reason to do so.

Tonight's banquet will of course end with a happy ending for both parties.

When a famous Yong'an guest who attended the banquet returned home, he quickly summoned his son:

"Tell the people in the clan that starting today, they will do their best to help Han Zong defend the city."

Suddenly hearing what his father said, the son of a famous Yong'an man had doubts in his heart:

"Father, didn't you say before that you should feign flattery and wait for the opportunity?"

Seeing that his son, whom he had high hopes for, was still so stupid at this moment, the Yong'an celebrity was so angry that he slapped him in the face:

"Why are you so confused!

Although I was forced by Han Zong to follow him, Sun Quan has a very jealous temperament. Even if I help him regain Yong'an City in the future, he will not necessarily forgive me.

If Sima Mi had not sent Shi Bao here, I think Han Zong would not have been able to defend Yong'an on his own. At that time, I had no choice, and I had to choose the stronger side even if I was afraid.

But today the stone bud has arrived!

With Shi Bao here, it is impossible for Mi Da Sima to abandon us.

In this way, the situation of strength and weakness has changed, and I will naturally serve Mi Da Sima wholeheartedly."

This famous Yong'an man began to teach his son angrily.

Unfortunately, maybe it was his son who had been addicted to drinking and sex for a long time and was not very clear-headed. He asked subconsciously:

"Even so, why does father think that Mi Da Sima will definitely be able to defeat Lu Xun?"

From an ordinary person's point of view, if Lu Xun planned well and occupied the favorable location, the Wu army would not necessarily lose to Mi Yang.

But after hearing what his son said, the Yong'an celebrity stood up and gave his son a slap in the face.

"In the battle with the police, I didn't think he would win.

During the Battle of Guanzhong, I didn't think he would win either.

But what's the result?

People can be stupid, but they cannot continue to be stupid."

After saying these words, the Yong'an celebrity left with his hands behind his hands.

After he left, his son, who was slapped so hard that his eyes were filled with stars, had no choice but to pass on his orders.

Coincidentally, the same scene was played out in the homes of many clan leaders at almost the same moment.

Perhaps there is no guarantee that every clan leader in Yong'an City will make the same decision as this famous Yong'an man.

But as long as most of the clan leaders choose the same path, the people of Yong'an City will completely side with Mi Yang.

...

Just a few days after Shi Bao arrived at Yong'an City, thousands of warships of various sizes suddenly appeared on the river outside Yong'an City.

In recent days, there have been heavy rains in Jiangnan, causing rivers to surge.

In addition, every time there is a heavy rain, there are often strong winds on the river.

Under the violent attack of the storm, except for the larger floor ships, smaller warships such as sterns and fighting ships were like tiny leaves, constantly swaying on the undulating river surface.

As the saying goes, fire and water are merciless. Whenever a huge wave hits, some small warships will often be overturned.

After Wu Jun on the boat fell into the water, except for some people with excellent water skills, almost everyone else disappeared under the turbulent waves.

Lu Xun, who was standing high on the ship, sometimes witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

But in the past, he had always loved soldiers as much as his sons, but now his expression was extremely calm.

Compassion does not command troops.

At this time, Yu Fan came behind Lu Xun. Yu Fan, who was standing behind Lu Xun, saw that Lu Xun's whole body was almost soaked by the heavy rain. He couldn't help but persuaded:

"When it comes to steering the ship, there are ministers who will serve the general.

How can the body of a great general be exposed to the wind and rain all the time?"

After hearing Yu Fan's persuasion, Lu Xun turned around and glanced at Yu Fan.

Unfortunately, the wind and rain were fierce, and Yu Fan's face could not be seen clearly even from a short distance away.

But Lu Xun still listened to Yu Fan’s dissuasion.
