Shortly after Lv Zhuo arrived at Sun Quan's camp, Yan State's king received a battle report from the Administrator of Changshan. Upon learning that Zhenning County had fallen, Xuanyuan Di was greatly enraged. He immediately threw the battle report to the ground and loudly shouted at the people in front of him, "Is this how you fight? Huh! How long has the imperial army been here? You've already lost Zhenning County? Huh! Answer me!" The generals knelt on the ground in silence. Yan State's king, seeing the generals' reaction, became even angrier. He scolded them, "You can't even say a word just because one county was lost. What if we lose a whole commandery, then what?"
After a while, Xuanyuan Di finally vented his emotions, and afterwards his mood finally calmed down. Just as Xuanyuan Di was trying to calm himself down, Zhou Ye slowly walked out and said lightly, "Who has provoked our Yan State's king to such anger?" Xuanyuan Di first asked Zhou Ye why he had come, but Zhou Ye just shook his head, indicating that there was nothing major. Then he learned from his subordinates that Zhenning County had been lost, and immediately came up with a plan.
Then he walked up to Xuanyuan Di with a mysterious look on his face and whispered softly in Xuanyuan Di's ear, "Your Highness, the momentum of the court's army is strong right now, why don't we take advantage of it?" After Zhou Ye finished speaking, Xuanyuan Di still didn't understand his meaning for a moment and asked in confusion, "I don't quite understand what you mean, please clarify, sir." Zhou Ye whispered, "Your Highness, if you were the court's army and you had just captured a city in your first battle, what would be your next move?"
Xuanyuan Di pondered for a moment and then blurted out, "Of course, we should seize the opportunity while morale is high and launch a counterattack."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye raised an eyebrow at Xuanyuan Di and said, "Exactly, if we can think of this, then surely someone in the court can as well. So why don't we turn the tables and set a trap for them to fall into?"
At this realization, Xuanyuan Di suddenly understood. He immediately called several generals to come and discuss the matter.
Soon, several generals under Xuanyuan Di arrived at the County yamen. Upon seeing Xuanyuan Di, they immediately bowed and saluted. Xuanyuan Di gestured for the generals not to be overly polite and said, "Gentlemen, there is no need for excessive courtesy. I have summoned you here for an important task." Upon hearing this, the generals looked at each other, not quite understanding Xuanyuan Di's meaning. They could only bow and say, "We will obey Your Highness's orders, even if it means risking our lives."
Seeing the enthusiasm of the generals for battle, Xuanyuan Di was very pleased and exclaimed, "You all truly deserve to be the pillars of the nation. I have an important task to entrust to you." Immediately, Xuanyuan Di solemnly instructed, "General Yue Jin, the task of luring the enemy will be entrusted to you this time," and handed the tiger tally to Yue Jin with great solemnity. Yue Jin accepted the tiger tally from Xuanyuan Di with a serious expression, bowed to Xuanyuan Di, and declared loudly, "I will lead the troops to repel the imperial army and recapture Zhenning County for Your Highness." With that, he walked out with his head held high.
Xuanyuan Di looked at Yue Jin gradually disappearing from sight and murmured, "I hope General Yue will be successful."
Then, expressionless, he turned and looked at the other two generals in the room. He said lightly, "Generals, I still have a task to entrust to you."
The two generals immediately responded by cupping their hands and saying, "We will do our utmost to fulfill our duty until death."
Xuanyuan Di saw the two of them do this and was very happy. He patted the two of them on the shoulders and said in a deep voice, "Good, you two are truly my pillars and divine generals. Your task this time is to ambush the imperial army and support General Yue Jin on the way."
The two men accepted the order and then turned and left without hesitation.
Xuanyuan Di watched them leave until they gradually disappeared from sight. Then he turned to Zhou Ye and asked, "Mr. Zhou, can this really be successful?"
Zhou Ye had a confident look as he said to Xuanyuan Di, "My lord, you can rest assured. With my strategies, those fools in the court may not necessarily be my match."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Di did not let down his guard. He simply looked quietly at the distant scenery and murmured, "I just hope their journey goes smoothly."
On the other hand, the court's army had taken Zhenning County in a battle led by Lv Zhuo. Adhering to the principle of swift military action, after discussions, they unanimously decided to set off for the next county immediately after the troops were rested, unaware that danger awaited them ahead.
After a day and night of long-distance rushing, the officials and soldiers of the court finally arrived at the next county - Pingyuan County. Just as they arrived at Pingyuan County, they saw that it was brightly lit with flags fluttering. Before long, the face of Yue Jin appeared in front of Lv Zhuo and others. Lv Zhuo, thinking about minimizing the loss of soldiers, wanted to persuade Yue Jin to surrender, so as to take Pingyuan County without bloodshed.
So, Lv Zhuo sent someone to negotiate with Yue Jin. The soldier at the city gate shouted, "Anyone in the city, find someone in charge to respond." The soldier below the city immediately returned to the inner city and found Yue Jin. Yue Jin followed the soldier to the city wall. Lv Zhuo saw the person in charge come out and said loudly, "Who are you? Can you make decisions?"
Yue Jin loudly replied, "I am Yue Jin, the commander of this city. And who are you?"
Lü Zhuo calmly responded, "I am Lü Zhuo, the deputy general of General Shentu. You rebels, surrender the city immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Jin immediately cursed, "You audacious scoundrel, I am here. Surrender now or prepare to be captured by me." After speaking, he prepared his troops and marched out of the city to engage in battle.
Lu Zhuo saw that the situation was collapsing and could only order everyone to prepare for battle. Before long, the city gates in front of Lu Zhuo slowly opened. Before long, Yue Jin led a group of soldiers out of the city. Before Lu Zhuo could react, Yue Jin charged towards him with a big knife. Helpless, Lu Zhuo could only grit his teeth and raise his own knife to meet him.
Both sides fought for thirty rounds, and Yue Jin gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. Seeing the situation was not good, Yue Jin had no choice but to retreat. Seeing this, Lv Zhuo quickly followed. However, what surprised Lv Zhuo was that Yue Jin actually abandoned the city and fled. Seeing this situation, Lv Zhuo did not think much about it. He quickly ordered someone to take over the city and planned the next step.
Entered the city, Zhao Ming always felt that something was wrong, so he approached and asked Lu Zhuo, "General Lu, isn't this battle too easy? Could it be a trap?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhuo also agreed, feeling that it was too easy to take the city. So Lu Zhuo ordered his men to carefully search the city for any signs of the enemy. However, after a thorough search, the soldiers did not find any trace of the enemy.
The sky gradually darkened. Seeing that the soldiers were all tired, Lv Zhuo stopped thinking and ordered the soldiers to rest in place for the night.
