This was a lesson from Lin Feng. He understood that as a general, one must possess dignity and pride. A seasoned warrior like Hulanmu, who had fought many battles, held steadfast loyalty and honor in his heart, making it impossible for him to surrender easily.
If they wanted to draw him out of the city, they would have to find a way to provoke him. Once anger clouded his judgment, his thinking would be greatly disturbed.
Sure enough, as Lu An's words left his mouth, Hulanmu's grizzled beard bristled as if caught in a sudden gust of wind. His eyes widened in fury, and he shouted, "Get back this instant! Tell that arrogant Fourth Prince that I will personally capture him!"
At that moment, Hulanmu's face flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly reaching the peak of his rage.
Lu An looked at the furious old man before him and couldn't help but feel a bit amused, but he also realized it was not wise to linger here any longer. If he stayed any longer, he might end up losing his life.
He quickly signaled to his companion behind him, and one of them hurriedly turned and left. This left Hulanmu still standing there, his anger not yet dissipated.
Once Lu An and his companion had distanced themselves, Hulanmu picked up the cup before him and downed its contents in one go. The spicy liquor slid down his throat like a rush of warmth spreading throughout his body, gradually relaxing his tense nerves and easing his mood significantly.
Reflecting on what had just transpired, a surge of anger welled up within Hulanmu. As a battle-hardened warrior who had fought countless times, he had long since placed life and death aside. For him, nothing was more glorious than dying on the battlefield and returning wrapped in horsehide corpses.
However, today he had suffered such an immense humiliation; their words were simply unbearable! If he hadn't exerted great self-control, he would have drawn his sword right then and there to slay those ignorant fools.
As time passed slowly, Hulanmu's emotions began to settle, allowing him to reconsider the current situation. At that moment, he suddenly recalled hearing some important news: the commander leading the invasion was none other than the Fourth Prince of Wu Kingdom!
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Hulanmu's eyes at this realization. This was an excellent opportunity! He thought to himself that if he could capture this Fourth Prince, then the predicament before him would surely be resolved.
Not only that, but establishing such a significant achievement holds profound meaning for both himself and the nation. Although he is currently unaware of the exact status of the Fourth Prince within the Wu Kingdom, the mere mention of his title is enough to create a substantial impact. Capturing him would undoubtedly bring disgrace to the entire Wu Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Lu An did not rush back to the camp. Instead, he leisurely wandered through the city. This was actually part of Lin Feng's specific instructions for the mission, requiring him to carefully observe the city's defenses, troop deployments, and any potential issues that might arise.
Moreover, just a few days prior, Lin Feng had secretly dispatched a group of astute spies into the city to gather intelligence. Lu An needed to safely bring this crucial information back to the camp, as it was vital for their subsequent battle plans.
Sure enough, after completing his reconnaissance in the city, Lu An hurriedly made his way outside, with a clear target in mind: he headed straight for Lin Feng's main camp. Upon arriving at the camp, he found Lin Feng's tent bustling with activity, as numerous generals had already gathered there.
