Lu Dai, named Dinggong, was originally from Xuzhou.

In his early years, Lu Dai took his family across the river and settled in Jiangdong to escape the war in the Central Plains.

After Sun Quan became the lord of Jiangdong in the fifth year of Jian'an, he recruited talents from all over the world. Lu Dai took this opportunity to enter Sun Quan's shogunate.

Because Lu Dai was an official, Lu Dai was appointed as a county magistrate as soon as he surrendered to Sun Quan.

The county magistrate was originally an official position to assist the prefect, but in the early years of Jian'an, most of the prefects of the counties in Jiangdong were held by unruly Sun clan relatives.

But even in this unfavorable situation, Lu Dai was able to handle the government affairs of the county properly while resisting the misbehavior of the Sun clan.

Due to his outstanding political achievements, Lu Dai was quickly put into use by Sun Quan.

Six years after Jian'an, Lu Dai was transferred to the position of school captain. During his tenure as school captain, Lü Dai led troops to quell local rebellions many times.

What really made Lu Dai become an important minister in Jiangdong was mainly due to one of his achievements:

In the 20th year of Jian'an, Lu Meng secretly attacked the three counties of Jingnan. Lu Dai led his army to assist Lu Meng and made a lot of contributions in that battle.

While Jiang Ji read out the information he had collected about Lu Dai in front of Mi Yang, he secretly looked at Mi Yang's expression.

Jiang Ji found that when he read other content, Mi Yang's expression remained the same as usual.

But when he read the information that Lu Dai had participated in Lu Meng's first sneak attack on Jingzhou, Mi Yang's expression showed some subtle changes.

After Mi Yang's expression changed, he slowly uttered a sentence and asked:

"How old is Lu Dai this year?"

Seeing Mi Yang asking about Lu Dai's age, Jiang Ji quickly replied:

"I don't know the exact age, but I think he must be at least sixty years old."

Mi Yang couldn't help but be surprised to hear that Lu Dai was over sixty this year.

Although Mi Yang is a time traveler, it is impossible for Mi Yang to know the detailed life of every general in the Three Kingdoms.

That's why he needed Jiang Ji to tell him the past deeds of Xia Lu Dai.

But what Mi Yang didn't expect was that Lu Dai was already over sixty this year.

Mi Yang vaguely remembered that Lu Dai in history was also quite active in the late period of Sun Quan's reign.

If you calculate it this way, wouldn't Lu Dai live to be more than eighty years old in history?

this.

Thinking of this, Mi Yang seriously commented:

"You are a child without a grandson, you are a child without a brother, you are a child without a brother, you are a thief when you are old and you do not die."

Mi Yang's words come from "The Analects of Confucius".

Jiang Ji has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, so he naturally knows the origin and interpretation of this sentence.

Just because he knew this, Jiang Ji immediately lowered his head silently, pretending not to hear anything.

Mi Yang didn't care about Jiang Ji's strangeness. After getting to know Lu Dai well enough, he summoned Ding Feng to him.

As the generals had guessed before, although Mi Yang dismissed Ding Feng from his post in front of Zhuge Jin, a few days after Zhuge Jin left, Mi Yang found an excuse to reinstate Ding Feng.

Ding Feng heard that Mi Yang was calling and arrived quickly.

But even though several days had passed since that incident, Ding Feng still had an unnatural look on his face when he saw Mi Yang.

"Chengyuan."

When he heard Mi Yang calling him, Ding Feng took a few steps forward.

"I'm here!"

Ding Feng's "coquettish" gesture made Mi Yang find it funny.

"I have something important to tell you. Why are you so far away?"

Mi Yang's words made Ding Feng take a few more steps forward until he came to Mi Yang.

At this time, there was a map in front of Mi Yang.

Looking at Ding Feng who was very close, Mi Yang pointed at the map and asked him:

"We are going to attack Jianye. Where do you think our army should land?"

In the past few days, Mi Yang's close confidants have learned that his real goal is Jianye.

Therefore, in private, several confidants, represented by Ding Feng, had secretly deduced the war in Japan.

Ding Feng, who was asked about military affairs by Mi Yang, quickly got rid of his hesitation. He excitedly and quickly pointed to a place on the map and said:

"Da Sima, I think this is the best place for our army to disembark."

Looking in the direction of Ding Feng's finger, Mi Yang found that the best place Ding Feng thought was Chaisang.

Chaisang may not be famous in the world.

But in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the importance of Chai Sang is well known.

To the south of Chaisang is Luling County, to the north is Lujiang County, to the west is Yong'an, Dongwu Town, and to the east is Danyang County, the political heartland of Soochow.

Chaisang is located at the hub of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, firmly controlling the waterway through which Jingzhou navy enters Yangzhou.

It can be said that Chaisang is a battleground for military strategists whether in Jingzhou or Yangzhou.

Because no matter which side takes Chaisang, that side can take advantage of Chaisang's excellent geographical location and turn it into a sharp blade hanging over the other side's head at all times.

Before Sun Quan captured Jiangxia, Chaisang had always been the most important military town in Soochow, and it was also the place where Zhou Yu was stationed all year round.

After pointing out Chai Sang, Ding Feng looked at Mi Yang with expectant and even pleading eyes.

Ding Feng knew that Mi Yang would ask him this, so he might have thought of letting him be the vanguard.

After learning that Mi Yang wanted to attack Jianye, Ding Feng and others believed that this battle would be the Han Dynasty's annihilation of Soochow.

This is a war to destroy the country!

As long as he can become the vanguard of this battle, he will definitely be written down in history books in the future.

I wonder which passionate man can resist this temptation?

Seeing that Mi Yang had not responded to his request for a long time, Ding Feng couldn't help but become anxious.

He knew that in the past few days, Zhou Tai, Zhang Yi and others, and even Li Yan, who was still injured, were all eyeing the vanguard position.

In Ding Feng's eyes, those comrades have now become hungry wolves who compete with him for food.

And Mi Yang summoning him today was a God-given opportunity.

If he wastes this God-given opportunity, not to mention whether he himself will regret it in the future, I am afraid that his descendants will regret it for the rest of the world.

"In the past few days, Zhou Tai, Zhang Yi and others have been teasing me, saying that my "treasonous and unethical" behavior that day will definitely attract the admiration of future generations.

But I know very well that although my actions that day were in line with justice, they still violated the etiquette of a master.

I, I..."

As he spoke, the aggrieved Ding Feng tried hard to squeeze out a few tears from his eyes.

With Ding Feng's unremitting efforts, a few tears gradually appeared in his eyes.

Ding Feng's performance directly stunned Jiang Ji who was standing aside.

Good guy.

Is this the Ding Chengyuan who "has no rift in his heart"?

With his acting skills, he would still have a place even in the Wei Dynasty.

When Mi Yang saw Ding Feng, who only shed blood but no tears on the battlefield, now acting like a "hero crying" in front of him, he felt even more funny.

How could Mi Yang not know that Ding Feng was playing the emotional card in front of him?

"alright.

Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

I have decided to let you serve as the vanguard of the army."

Mi Yang's words made Ding Feng very happy.

After receiving Mi Yang's assurance, Ding Feng quickly stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that refused to fall from his eyes, and then made a gesture of worship.

But Mi Yang stopped him in time.

"Chaisang is the birthplace of Sun Quan. It would be great if we could land at Chaisang.

But this battle cannot be fought simply like this."

Mi Yang was hesitating just now, but actually he was considering Ding Feng's suggestion.

Mi Yang's words did not reduce Ding Feng's joy by half.

What Ding Feng wanted was the position of vanguard, and he didn't care at all as to how the battle would be fought.

As long as Mi Yang can agree to let him serve as the vanguard, even if Mi Yang orders him to lead the army directly towards Jianye, he will not hesitate at all.

"Da Sima, you said, I will listen to you in everything."
