To be honest, Lu Fan was tempted by his confidant's suggestion for a moment.

But soon, Lu Fan regained his senses and rejected his confidant's proposal.

"Ding Gong has served Jiangdong for decades. I think he is definitely not a betrayer.

Your Majesty doubts that Duke Ding may have some misunderstanding.

For our army at the moment, the most important thing is to gather all our forces to repel Mi Yang and defend Chaisang.

How can I turn my sword on my comrade at this time and give Mi Yang a God-given opportunity?"

It can be seen from Lu Fan's words that Lu Fan believed in Lu Dai's character.

As a veteran of Soochow, Lu Dai had watched Sun Quan grow up since he was a child, so he knew Sun Quan's character.

Sun Quan's suspicion of Lu Dai does not mean that there must be something wrong with Lu Dai. It may also be that Sun Quan's suspicion has resurfaced.

In addition, even if he can hold a banquet and capture Lu Dai directly, what happens after he captures Lu Dai?

It is true that Lu Dai's army has Zhou Li as the supervisor, who can take charge of the military power on Lu Dai's behalf.

But Zhou Li had never had the experience of being in charge of an army, so his prestige was insufficient.

To suddenly capture Lu Dai and let Zhou Li take over the military power would only cause panic among the more than 20,000 Wu troops.

Changing generals before battle has been a taboo for military strategists since ancient times.

Lu Fan, who knew his military well, would not have made this fatal mistake.

After listening to what Lu Fan said, his confidants felt that what Lu Fan said was very reasonable, so they stopped trying to persuade him.

Although Lu Fan did not intend to capture Lu Dai, Lu Fan believed that some beatings were necessary.

When Lu Fan ordered people to greet Lu Dai, Lu Fan took the lead in shouting at Lu Dai and asked:

"Ding Gong knows that you are in great danger!"

Lu Fan had the right to take holidays, and because of his special status, his status was far above that of Lu Dai.

As the superior Lu Fan asked, a look of panic immediately appeared on Lu Dai's face.

"What do you mean, Lord?"

Seeing Lu Dai become panicked, Lu Fan continued:

"Some villain in the court came to His Majesty and said that you were disloyal.

Why did you station troops in Yong'an before and wait and see Yuzhang?"

In Lu Fan's eyes, after Lu Dai heard his words, the panic on his face turned into fear.

In desperation, Lu Dai told Lu Fan all his previous thoughts.

Lu Fan was not Sun Quan's "purple-bearded general" who didn't know how to fight.

Lu Fan, who had been in the army for many years, understood in his heart after listening to Lu Dai's explanation that Lu Dai's previous choice was correct in terms of military tactics.

When this judgment emerged in his mind, Lu Fan inevitably sighed.

It seems that Sun Quan is indeed too suspicious.

Fortunately, he is here today.

Lu Fan, who thought Lu Dai was innocent, quickly stood up and helped Lu Dai up, who was bowing down.

In order to reassure Lu Dai, Lu Fan stroked Lu Dai's back and said:

"Don't worry, Duke Ding. His Majesty was deceived by villains, and that's why he misunderstood Duke Ding's actions.

I believe in your innocence.

After this battle is won, I will definitely pledge my life for you in front of Your Majesty when I return to the court.

There is no need to worry in your heart.”

Lu Fan has always been known as a gentleman in the Soochow government and the public.

Naturally, Lu Dai had no doubts about his guarantee.

Lu Dai was also very moved by Lu Fan's trust in him.

but!

Zi Heng, why is it so late?

If you could come before Dong Yun's mission...

Lu Dai did not dare to show any regret in his heart.

Under Lu Fan's gaze, Lu Dai managed to squeeze out a somewhat gratified smile on his face.

"With Ziheng protecting you, Dai will feel at peace."

Lu Fan was overjoyed when he heard Lu Dai's words.

At this moment, Lu Fan only thought that he had successfully comforted Lu Dai.

After "eliminating" a hidden danger, Lu Fan sat down with Lu Dai, then lowered his head and asked Lu Dai:

"Now the Han army is rampant outside Chaisang City. Chaisang is blocked from inside and outside and is in danger. How does Duke Ding think our army can save it?"

Facing Lu Fan's inquiry, Lu Dai remembered Dong Yun's instructions recently, and he slowly replied:

"Dai thought that the Han army was greatly strengthened and that it was a good plan.

If our army wants to repel the Han army, we must not divide our forces to advance, lest we be defeated by Mi Yang one by one.

Not to mention rushing ashore to avoid being attacked by Mi Yang halfway across the river.

The Han army has been besieging Chaisang for some time, and it is expected that they will launch an attack on Chaisang in the next few days.

Our army can prepare for war while simultaneously sending out scouts to investigate the movements of the Han army in detail.

When the Han army launches an attack on Chaisang, you and I can join forces and rescue and land together.

In this way, the Han army is surrounded by enemies from both sides and will definitely be defeated!"

When Lu Dai finished speaking, Lu Fan couldn't help clasping his hands and laughing.

"Xiang Wen Dinggong has many plans. Looking at it today, it turns out to be true!"

It was obvious that Lu Dai’s strategy won Lu Fan’s heart.

Seeing that Lu Dai proposed a good strategy, Lu Fan immediately decided to adopt it.

"Then please ask Ding Gong to return to the army first, and I will send people to investigate the movements of the Han army in detail.

If there is any change in the Han army, I will send someone to inform Duke Ding."

After hearing Lu Fan's instructions, Lu Dai stood up and answered Wei.

Then Lu Dai left under Lu Fan's admiring gaze.

After Lu Dai's figure disappeared, Lu Fan's eyes moved slightly.

First he asked, then he comforted him. The reason why Lu Fan did this was to make Lu Dai regard him as his life-saving straw.

In this way, even if Lu Dai would be frightened by Sun Quan's previous suspicion, he would still do his best to obey his orders.

Although Lu Fan is willing to believe in Lu Dai's loyalty personally, the next thing is related to the national destiny of Wu, and Lu Fan will not regard personal emotions as the only insurance.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan summoned a confidant.

"You take my token and go to Lu Dai's army to find Zhou Li.

You tell Zhou Li to keep an eye on Lu Dai's every move.

If there is any change in Lu Dai's situation, he can act easily, and I will lead the army to assist him."

After listening to Lu Fan's instructions, the confidants quickly turned around and left.

After his cronies also left, Lu Fan felt relieved.

With this last line of insurance, Lu Fan believed that everything would be under his control.

...

Not long after Lu Dai returned to the army, Zhou Li also met Lu Fan's cronies.

After listening to what Lu Fan asked his confidant to convey, Zhou Li's face showed a solemn look.

"I'd like to trouble the envoy to go back and inform the Lord. I will definitely not let him down."

Seeing Zhou Li's cautious look, Lu Fan's close followers planned to leave.

But before Lu Fan's cronies were about to leave, Zhou Li stretched out his hand to stop him.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hold on, messenger.

There are many spies of Lu Dai in the army, let me go and arrange them first, and it won't be too late for the envoy to leave."

After hearing Zhou Li's concerns, Lu Fan's confidants thought about this.

If Lu Dai learns that Lu Fan sent him to secretly contact Zhou Li, Lu Dai will definitely think wildly.
