Going out of the city to counterattack Guo Peng was something that Yuan Shu had always wanted to do. Later, he was stopped by Lu Mian. Yuan Shu himself thought about it and felt that doing so was indeed seeking death, so he dispelled this idea.

As a result, a large number of officials reported to Lu Mian to take revenge on his own, so Yuan Shu began to sue Lu Mian, which was very suspicious.

Of course, it is not that no one has spoken for Lu Mian.

Shangshu Ling Han Yin personally visited Yuan Shu and advised Yuan Shu not to believe those rumors. Lu Mian was the safety of Shouchun City. At this critical moment, the army must not be shaken.

"At present, the first priority is to retreat the enemy, not to change the commander. Although I do not understand military tactics, I also know that changing commanders at the last minute is a taboo in military strategists. Since ancient times, no one who does this has failed, let alone changing commanders for things that do not have real evidence. This is an unwise measure."

Han Yin advised Yuan Shu hard.

Yuan Shu's face was hesitant.

"I don't know what Han Qing said, but the rumor about this incident is rumored now. If there is no source, how could this incident be so widely circulated? There are so many officials who have submitted a statement to make Gu alert Lu Mian?"

Han Yin said, "In order to defend Shouchun City, General Lu forced his troops and servants from wealthy families to join the army. He asked them to donate money and rob their houses, demolished them into stone and wood to defend the city, and used them to rude methods.

In this way, General Lu offended many people, and almost no officials in the court were offended by him. But he did this for His Majesty and for the sake of Chen State, not for himself. If he had rebelled, how could he offend officials on such a large scale?"

Although Yuan Shu felt that what Han Yin said made sense, he was still worried.

"Lu Mian holds the military power of the whole city. If he wants to open the city and surrender to Guo Zhe, wouldn't it be easy to turn his back? If there is a little mistake, isn't the most dangerous thing for the Lord?"

Han Yin shook his head anxiously.

"Your Majesty, you don't doubt people, and you don't doubt people. If you appoint General Lu to be fully responsible for defending the city, you should not suspect General Lu. Instead, you should firmly support General Lu at this time. When you overcome the difficulties, all problems will be solved, and the current situation will not happen."

Han Yin's persuasion seemed to have dispelled Yuan Shu's suspicion, so Han Yin said goodbye and left.

As a result, Han Yin had just left, another group of officials asked to see Yuan Shu, and said that Lu Mian had a bad intention.

When their servants heard Lu Mian say that the war could not be fought and that they had to find a way to end it, they revealed that they had no confidence in this battle and had no confidence in the emperor and Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's heart began to beating violently again.

"Lu Qing is an important minister, you can't suspect Lu Qing like this!"

That's it, but Yuan Shu's expression doesn't seem to be expressed in this way.

They wanted to continue saying something, but Yuan Shu didn't let them continue saying it, so he drove them away.

The group of officials went to Yuan Yao again and told Yuan Yao about this matter. Yuan Yao was naturally worried, but he felt that Yuan Shu's decision was the final decision, and it was useless to worry about him.

"Your Highness is the heir to Your Majesty's rule. If Your Majesty's foundation is not guaranteed, how should Your Highness inherit the throne?"

Yuan Yao suddenly felt that what they said made sense.

But I don’t know how to talk about this to Yuan Shu, because Yuan Shu seemed unwilling to discuss this matter.

"Your Majesty doesn't say it. It is precisely because of your concern that Your Majesty needs someone to share his worries. This person must be Your Highness, so Your Highness can make any comments to Your Majesty."

"What are you talking about?"

Yuan Yao asked quickly.

"What Your Majesty is worried about is that Lu Mian wants to treason and surrender to the enemy. It is very simple. Lu Mian can lead troops out of the city to challenge Guo Zhe. As long as Lu Mian agrees, fighting Guo Zhe, whether it wins or loses, it is enough to prove Lu Mian's loyalty.

But if Lu Mian pushes and is unwilling to fight Guo Zhe head-on, it means that Lu Mian has a ulterior motive and secretly colludes with Guo Zhe, and is unwilling to fight Guo Zhe, for fear of offending Guo Zhe! We cannot contact the outside of the city, only Lu Mian, who has the defense of the whole city, can do this easily!"

The official's words relieved Yuan Yao's doubts.

Yuan Yao finally understood what he hadn't figured out.

Lu Mian, there is really a problem!

So Yuan Yao hurriedly went to find Yuan Shu in a hurry and made his own suggestions to Yuan Shu.

"If he is willing, he is loyal regardless of victory or defeat. The father can be assured to appoint him. If he is not willing, he has a problem. The father should take Lu Mian immediately!"

Yuan Shu was hesitating, full of anxiety. When he suddenly heard Yuan Yao’s advice, he suddenly felt that what Yuan Yao said made sense.

If Lu Mian is not disloyal, then Lu Mian will definitely obey the order. If Lu Mian has a ghost in his heart, then take it off on the spot!

It can be considered as giving him a choice, test him, right?

Yuan Shu took a deep breath and praised Yuan Yao hard, which made Yuan Yao very happy.

So Yuan Shu sent someone to invite Lu Mian over and said that Yuan Shu would hold a banquet to entertain Lu Mian and comfort Lu Mian.

Lu Mian didn't think much about it when he learned that Yuan Shu summoned him and wanted to host a banquet for him. Although the military affairs were busy, for some reason, Guo Peng suddenly slowed down the attack frequency and reduced the attack strength, which made Lu Mian a little strange.

However, no matter how you do, you won’t have time to eat a meal. The emperor still has to give face to the emperor’s banquet. Lu Mian is still very good at this.

Yuan Shu met Lu Mian intimately. Although his body was still weak and could not stand for a long time, Yuan Shu still left the palace to welcome Lu Mian and personally took Lu Mian to walk, which made Lu Mian very moved. He felt that his trust had not been given to the wrong person. Yuan Shu really would not doubt him.

As long as Yuan Shu believes in him, he will have many ways to prevent Guo Peng from entering Shouchun City and have to retreat obediently.

He believed that Yuan Shu would make the right choice, but now Yuan Shu has indeed made the right choice.

At the banquet, Yuan Shu toasted Lu Mian and asked Lu Mian to drink less and eat more vegetables. He prepared Lu Mian what Lu Mian liked to eat.

Seeing that Yuan Shu still remembered what he liked to eat, Lu Mian was even more moved, and started eating in big mouthfuls, swallowing all the food Yuan Shu gave him.

On the one hand, I am hungry, on the other hand, I am the rule that the emperor must finish all the food and cannot keep it.

Lu Mian, who adheres to the way of a minister, seemed to be very satisfied with Yuan Shu, and Lu Mian was also very satisfied with him. So when Yuan Shu suddenly asked that question, Lu Mian thought Yuan Shu was joking.

"Guo thieves have been besieging the city for a long time. There is no traffic inside and outside Shouchun City. People outside cannot enter and people inside cannot go out. It is not a solution for us to trap the orphans. Can Lu Qing personally lead a group of troops to defeat the orphans and lift the siege of Shouchun?"

Yuan Shu's sudden question made Lu Mian stunned and stunned on the spot.

"What your Majesty said...what does it mean?"

After a while, Lu Mian asked such a question with difficulty.

"Has Gu not explained it clearly? Gu means that Shouchun City has been surrounded for a long time, and it is not a solution for us to trap Gucheng. Guo Zhe has been besieging the city for a long time, and the soldiers must have been tired of war, and their morale should be greatly reduced. At this time, isn't it time for us to go out of the city to meet the enemy and defeat Guo Zhe?"

Yuan Shu had a confident smile on his face, which made Lu Mian wonder if Yuan Shu had drunk too much and was confused.

But it doesn't seem like that.

Yuan Shu didn't drink too much and looked very sober.

Since you are sober, why would you say such things again?
