Mi Han

Chapter 14 The Successor

Guan Yu has a straightforward personality. When a person is capable, no matter whether the person is an enemy or a friend, old or young, he will make no secret of his admiration for him.

Mi Yang has never experienced military battles and strategies. Whether his strategies will work or not will ultimately be decided by Guan Yu, a famous future in the world.

Looking at Guan Yu's admiration now, it is enough to prove the feasibility of Mi Yang's strategy.

The matter of how to defeat Xu Huang, which troubled himself and everyone else, was solved by Mi Yang in such an understatement in a few words. Guan Yu's inner evaluation of Mi Yang has now reached a higher level.

But after getting a good plan from Mi Yang, Guan Yu now put on a look of dissatisfaction, he said with his fingers,

"Xu Huang's army is on one side, and our army can't retreat quickly. Zicheng has a plan to solve our army's problem."

"Now Sun Quan's army is ready to attack our Jingzhou,

This made me worry that when I was fighting Xu Gongming, I would lose my way. Zisheng should have a plan to solve my problem. "

The current Guan Yu is full of confidence in Mi Yang. After saying this, he looked at Mi Yang with expectant eyes.
There was trust in Mi Yang hidden in that gaze.

Guan Yu's eyes were burning with anticipation, and he looked at Mi Yang at this moment, like a hunter who is happy to see a hunt, seeing a snow-white elk.

Mi Yang didn't disappoint Guan Yu's expectations. Since he dared to recommend himself to meet Guan Yu in Fancheng, he had already considered everything before coming.

He came to Fancheng not only to save Guan Yu, but also to make a big splash.

He wanted to seek the greatest benefit for himself in the opportunity of the Xiangfan War.

Mi Yang met Guan Yu's eager eyes, and bowed to him, "Sun Quan's thief, his martial arts are weak, and he can't attack Hefei for a long time."

"And because he covets our fertile land in Jingzhou, he has long been eyeing my South County."

"However, he dared to send troops to attack me today because he relied on Lu Meng's ingenious plan, and our Jingzhou is currently depleted of troops due to the Northern Expedition."

"However, Sun Quan came to power at a young age, and his military achievements were bleak, so he could not use his military achievements to consolidate his authority and subdue all the officials in Jiangdong like his elder brother."

"This has created his suspicious personality."

"Since that's the case, the general can design a plan based on his personality to disrupt his judgment so as to slow down his dispatch of troops."

After saying this, Mi Yang fingered Xu Xiang who was still kneeling on the ground, and he continued,

"This person is not only an important minister in Jiangdong, but also an old friend of Sun Quan's hometown. He has a deep relationship with Sun Quan."

"The general may use his hand to write a letter, which reads,"

"My father, the prefect of Nanjun, has decided to surrender, and I ask you to send troops immediately, so as not to delay the time and cause sudden changes."

When Mi Yang said this, everyone in the tent was a little bit astonished.

General Guan asked him to plan to delay the date of Sun Quan's dispatch of troops. Why did Mi Yang suggest that Sun Quan's friend and confidant write a letter to urge Sun Quan to send troops as soon as possible?

Among all the people in the tent at this moment, only Guan Yu seemed to understand some of Mi Yang's intentions.

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of most of the people in the tent, Mi Yang continued confidently,
"Sun Quan is a suspicious person. When he received Xu Xiang's letter, he would think, since Xu Xiang has successfully persuaded my father to surrender, why didn't he go back to Jiangdong and report the matter himself?"

"Anyway, you want to declare this confidential matter on paper and entrust others to deliver it to him?"

"If Xu Xiang really succeeds in persuading my father to vote for him, it will be a great achievement.

According to what ordinary people do, Xu Xiang should go back to Jiangdong immediately to receive the reward.

Even if Xu Xiang can hold back his desire to receive the reward, but the military incident is imminent, in order to avoid being involved in the military incident and endangering his life, Xu Xiang should return to Jiangdong immediately, "

"But now I don't see anyone, only a letter has arrived. According to Sun Quan's suspicious character, wouldn't you make more guesses?"

When Mi Yang got to this point, the smarter people in the tent, such as Wang Fu, Zhao Lei, and Pan Jun, all had expressions of understanding on their faces.

Among them, Wang Fu said excitedly,

"According to Xiaolian, after Sun Quan received Xu Xiang's letter, he would definitely think that the letter was fraudulent."

"Sun Quanhui believes that although Xu Xiang wrote this letter himself, his whereabouts may have been exposed and he was captured by our army, and then he wrote this letter under the coercion of our army."

"Based on this belief, he will guess that our army's move is to lure him to send troops early with Xu Xiang's letter, and the reason why our army did this is because we have already set up an ambush and waited for him to take the initiative to attack."

Hearing that Wang Fu understood what he said, Mi Yang smiled and nodded at Wang Fu,
"Of course."

"Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: Soldiers are deceitful.

Therefore, what can be shown is not possible, what is used can be shown not to be used, what is near can be shown to be far, and what is far can be shown to be near.”

"Sun Quan claims to be a descendant of his grandson, so he is naturally familiar with the grandson's art of war.

Coupled with his suspicious character, he would naturally think that this is a tactic deliberately set up by our army to lure the enemy. "

"But he doesn't know that our army's purpose is to make him think that this is a trick set up by our army to lure the enemy, so that he will not dare to attack our Jingzhou rashly."

"Only in this way can we delay the date of Sun Quan's dispatch of troops and buy precious time for our army to defeat Xu Huang."

Sun Quan is the world's leader in the way of checks and balances, but he is not proficient in military strategies, which is almost universally recognized by the world.

Well, it is also recognized by later generations.

Xu Xiang wrote down confidential events on paper at random and dragged others back to Jiangdong. Anyone with a brain knows this.
Xu Xiang might have been captured, and Sun Quan was not stupid, so he could guess this.

So Sun Quan would think that on the surface this letter was written to him by Xu Xiang, but in fact this letter was written to him by Guan Yu under the guise of Xu Xiang's hand, and why would Guan Yu do this?

Guan Yu's reputation in China is so powerful, Sun Quan naturally wouldn't think that Guan Yu was a fool.

He would only think that this was a trick set up by Guan Yu to lure the enemy, in order to lure him into the encirclement circle he set up in Jingzhou.

But Sun Quan would never have thought that what he thought was what Mi Yang wanted him to think,
Mi Yang just wanted to do the opposite. It was called a strategy to lure the enemy, but in fact it was a strategy to set up suspicious soldiers and delay the date of their troops.

After Mi Yang finished speaking, everyone in the tent looked at Mi Yang with the eyes of a monster.
This kind of treacherous and indistinguishable strategy to grasp people's hearts can be thought of by a young man who has just reached the crown?
At this time, Guan Yu looked at Mi Yang as if he was looking at a treasure.

He is nearly sixty years old this year, and he has always wanted to find a successor for himself to inherit his ideals and aspirations.

For such a successor, the premise is to be loyal to Liu Bei, followed by resourcefulness, ability,
But now it seems that Mi Yang meets these two conditions.

Although everyone in the tent was shocked by Mi Yang's two strategies at this time.

They even think that under Mi Yang's two strategies, they seem to have found a bright way out of the predicament they are facing now.

But there is still one person who is a little worried about Mi Yang's suspicious strategy,
This person is Zhao Lei, who has always been trusted by Guan Yu for his prudence.
