Mi Han

Chapter 202
Wei Yan, whose character is Wenchang, was born in Yiyang, Jingzhou.

Wei Yan was Liu Bei's general who followed him when he was in Jingzhou, and was a member of Liu Bei's immediate relatives.

In the 16th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was invited by Liu Zhang to go to Sichuan to help Liu Zhang resist Zhang Lu, and Wei Yan followed Liu Bei to fight in Shu as a trilogy.

In the 17th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang officially broke up and sent troops to attack Liu Zhang.

At that time, Liu Bei sent Wei Yan, Zhuo Ying and Huang Zhong to occupy Fucheng.

Later, Liu Bei's army defeated Liu Zhang's army, and Liu Bei sent Wei Yan and Huang Zhong to pacify Guanghan County. After several military exploits, he was promoted to General Yamen.

In the 19th year of Jian'an, Wei Yan followed Liu Bei to conquer Luocheng, an important town, and surrounded Chengdu with Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others.

Throughout Wei Yan's military career in Jian'an 20 years ago, his qualifications, military exploits, and prestige are not outstanding among Liu Bei's generals, and he even seems a bit unusual.

But the turning point in Wei Yan's life came from the 24th year of Jian'an, when Liu Bei, who won the Battle of Hanzhong, declared himself King of Hanzhong.

After Liu Bei proclaimed himself the King of Hanzhong in Mianyang and settled his administration in Chengdu, a problem arose before him.

That is because of the importance of Hanzhong. After he led the army back to Chengdu, he had to leave a general to guard Hanzhong.

The importance of Hanzhong has long been stated by Fazheng: "The top can overthrow the enemy and honor the royal family, the middle can eat away at Yong and Liang, expand the territory, and the bottom can hold on to the key points, which is a long-lasting strategy."

It can be said that the importance of Hanzhong in Liu Bei's forces is no less than that of Jingzhou.

Under such circumstances, many ministers at the time believed that Zhang Fei should serve as the prefect of Hanzhong, and even Zhang Fei felt that this position belonged to him.

But in the end, Liu Bei accidentally promoted Wei Yan to be the governor of Hanzhong and the prefect of Hanzhong, and directly promoted Wei Yan from General Yamen to General Zhenyuan.

When Liu Bei's king's decree spread, the whole army was shocked when they heard about it.

The whole army was shocked not because Zhang Fei was not the governor of Hanzhong, but because Wei Yan, who was not very eye-catching at the time, would be the governor of Hanzhong.

Because the governor of Hanzhong can be compared with Guan Yu in terms of strategic significance alone.

Considering the shock of the whole army, Liu Bei, in order to appease the hearts of the people, made a special meeting of the officials when he led the army to leave Hanzhong.

At the banquet, Liu Bei asked Wei Yandao: "Now that you have been entrusted with an important task, what do you want to do?"

Wei Yan replied: "If Cao Cao came from all over the world, please reject it for the king; if a crowd of [-] people come, please swallow it for the king."

Liu Bei was very satisfied after hearing this, and the officials also praised Wei Yan for his words, which stabilized the hearts of the officials.

Not to mention the various feats made by Wei Yan during the Northern Expedition in history, as far as the current situation is concerned, Wei Yan's prestige as the governor of Hanzhong is not because of his outstanding feats in the past, but because Liu Bei appreciates him and uses his prestige as King of Hanzhong Endorsed Wei Yan.

Wei Yan also knew this, so after he became the governor of Hanzhong, he has been trying his best to repay Liu Bei's kindness, and under his guard, Hanzhong County has gradually recovered its stability.

When Wei Yan, who had just finished patrolling the border defense, returned to the prefect's mansion, his subordinate officials handed him the documents from Shen Yi.

Looking at Shen Yi's accusation of Mi Yang's atrocities against Shen Dan in the document, Wei Yan couldn't help stroking his beard to think deeply.

In the past, Wei Yan had no contact with Mi Yang, and even because of his own temperament, Wei Yan didn't like Mi Fang who was not talented and had bad conduct, but could become the governor of Nanjun.

According to the ancients, Wei Yan's temperament is aloof and quite self-confident. According to the later generations, he has a low EQ and doesn't know how to handle relationships with his colleagues.

For this reason, Wei Yan, who was proud of his talent, even had a bad relationship with officials from the same Jingzhou clan, such as Jiang Wan and Yang Yi.

But despite this, Wei Yanming knew that his character had offended many people, but he never thought about changing it.

Because in Wei Yan's view, as long as he is loyal to Liu Bei and can continue to make contributions to Liu Bei, then everything else is secondary.

Although Wei Yan and Mi Yang hadn't had much contact before, just last year, Mi Yang flew across the sky of Jingzhou like a meteor, turning the tide and defeating the [-] Jiangdong army, which greatly increased Mi Yang's prestige.

So in Wei Yan's current impression, although Mi Fang is not very good, Mi Fang's son, Mi Yang, is a rare colleague who can attract his attention.

Under this impression, Wei Yan didn't believe much in Shen Yi's accusation against Mi Yang.

After all, Wei Yan's EQ is not very high, his IQ is not low.

Shen Yi almost described Mi Yang as a traitor in the document, and it was impossible for Mi Yang to rebel against Liu Bei in Wei Yan's view.

From the point of view of Wei Yan, Shen Yi should be the real rebel.

Wei Yan immediately judged that Shen Yi was lying, but it was precisely because of this that Wei Yan frowned.

Because of Shen Yi's actions, it shows that there is an incident going on in Hanxing County.

Hanxing County is next to Hanzhong County. Once Hanxing County becomes unstable, it will greatly affect the stability of Hanzhong County.

Under this consideration, Wei Yan made a decision not long after.

He ordered his generals to have [-] troops, and he wanted to personally lead the army to Hanxing County to find out.

Xicheng is not far from Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong County, and is connected by the Han River, so it can be reached within three days.

But before leaving, Wei Yan still had to rearrange the defenses of the fortresses in Hanzhong County.

After Ding Feng brought Deng Ai and Ding Feng, Mi Yang, in front of the generals, pointed to the wooden door stopper on the bank in front of him and said to Ding Feng, "Qing is famous for being brave, and it is better to see once than to hear about it."

After Mi Yang finished saying this sentence, Ding Feng immediately understood what Mi Yang meant.

Ding Feng clasped his fists and said to Mi Yang, "I'll let the general see you today."

Hearing what Ding Feng said, Mi Yang showed a smile on his face, and he continued to say to Ding Feng, "How much do you want soldiers and horses?"

After Ding Feng carefully observed the situation on the shore, he said to Mi Yang: "Five hundred is enough."

When Ding Feng said these words, Zhang Yi, Deng Ai and others all showed surprise on their faces.

During the conversation between Mi Yang and Ding Feng, everyone understood Mi Yang's intention.

Because I heard that Ding Feng was in the Wu army before, he was always brave and won the three armies, and he often cut the general's flag, so Mi Yang wanted to use Ding Feng's bravery to pull out the long wooden fortress in front of the army.

And behind the heavy wooden fortress, although Shen Yi's soldiers and horses in the rear couldn't judge the total number because of the blocking of wooden stakes and antlers, there were at least thousands of them.

It is not easy to go ashore with the enemy on the shore, but now Ding Feng still wants to lead a smaller number of people than the enemy to defeat the enemy, how courageous.

After Mi Yang heard Ding Feng's words, he saw that Ding Feng's serious expression did not seem to be fake at all, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, then Qing will lead my relatives to go."

"I will press my sword on the upstairs boat to watch the thieves die!"

Then Mi Yang ordered Ding Feng to call up five hundred pro-armies and hand them over to Ding Feng to lead.

Under Ding Feng's summoning, hundreds of walking boats soon appeared under the tall building boats.

Unlike Zhang Yi and Deng Ai who were surprised, Ding Feng seemed to be full of confidence in Ding Feng.

Walking boats are the smallest of all types of warships.

Because of its small size, the number of soldiers it carries is not as large as that of warships and fighting ships, and the defense facilities on board are not as complete as those of warships and fighting ships.

But its speed is the fastest, and it is most suitable for the navy to rush to the shore and land.

The wooden gates outside the West City, perhaps because Shen Yi had just been established, were not as they were a few years later in history, they were all filled with wooden stakes in the Han River and connected together.

But under Shen Yi's careful construction, wooden piles were densely inserted on the banks of the Han River.

Between the gaps between the wooden posts, there are still wooden doors. From Mi Yang's sight, it seems that Shen Yi built a city wall on the river bank out of thin air.

Not only that, but in front of the "city wall" standing on the ground, there are many horses with antlers, and behind the horses with antlers, there are hundreds of archers standing.

This is a life-saving measure that Shen Yi built to protect the west city under the special terrain of the west city surrounded by mountains and rivers.

And just as Shen Yi expected, if the wooden door plug on the shore is not removed, it will be difficult for Mi Yang's army to go ashore, let alone besiege the city.

After hundreds of walking boats appeared below the building boats, Ding Feng bowed to Mi Yang, then left the building boats, and stepped on the most forward boat walking boats below.

After coming to the top of the walking boat, Ding Feng, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, smelled the smell of kerosene.

He looked at the surrounding soldiers and saw that they all had some torches stuck in their waists, and Ding Feng's confidence increased a bit.

The torch is the main lighting tool that is commonly used today. Some of it is made of dried bamboo soaked in water and made into long strips. The open end is stuffed with cotton or cloth strips.

The torch not only has a good lighting effect, the most important thing is that it can also be used as a kindling.

Ding Feng held up the order flag he had just received from Ding Feng. He didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't mobilize before the battle at all. He waved the order flag in his hand under the watchful eyes of thousands of enemy troops on the opposite bank.

With the command flag waving in Ding Feng's hand, the five hundred Mi Yang soldiers who saw the flag all turned their eyes to Ding Feng.

Not long after, Ding Feng, who was standing at the forefront of hundreds of boats, issued an order, and the boat under his feet immediately started and rushed towards the opposite bank.

When the boat under Ding Feng's feet rushed towards the opposite bank, hundreds of boats behind Ding Feng also started in unison.

Under the leadership of Ding Feng, hundreds of ships shot towards the front like a sharp arrow.

And this scene was noticed by Shen Yi's soldiers on the shore. They never expected that Mi Yang's army would launch an attack so quickly as soon as it arrived outside the city.

But this is the end of the matter, they have no time to hesitate.

So under the command of the general, hundreds of Xicheng archers standing behind the antlers began to put sharp arrows on the bowstrings one after another.

Not long after, with the sound of "Fang", hundreds of arrows shot towards the hundred ships led by Ding Feng.

Although the Xicheng soldiers were not considered to be a famous strong army in the world, but in history they were able to defeat Liu Feng under the command of Shen Yi, which proved that their combat effectiveness was not bad.

And Shen Yi's ability to arrange these hundreds of archers outside the wooden door is enough to show his confidence in hundreds of archers.

Hundreds of arrows soared into the sky, and then quickly fell towards the target with fire.

These hundreds of arrows are all rockets!
The speed of walking and coming was extremely fast, and Ding Feng and the five hundred soldiers were not far from the shore in a short while.

Because of this, the only way to stop Ding Feng's 500-man team in a short period of time is to fire rockets to burn down their vehicles.

Otherwise, if it was an ordinary arrow, not to mention that it would not cause much damage, I am afraid that Ding Feng had already led his army to the shore when they took the second round of bowing.

Facing hundreds of rockets falling from the sky, Ding Feng, who rushed to the front, did not panic.

He was always the first to climb, and he was never afraid of the hot golden juice, let alone this rocket.

Ding Feng quickly waved the command flag, and under his command, the five hundred Mi Yang soldiers raised their shields to block in front of them.

Soon after, the sound of arrows colliding with the shield rang continuously on the Han River.

Because the surface of the shield is covered with raw cowhide, the rocket did not cause much damage to the shield, let alone Mi Yang's army guarded by the shield.

But the purpose of Shen Yi's soldiers was not to kill the enemy with rockets.

When the rockets fell on the tarpaulin on the walking boat, there was the influence of kerosene, so the walking boat burned quickly.

Even though it is broad daylight now, the hundreds of fire lights are particularly dazzling above the Han River.

Looking at the flames shining on the river, Shen Yi's soldiers on the bank let out a burst of joy.

Their purpose has been achieved!

In the case of the fire caused by the walking boats, the hundreds of enemy walking boats will retreat soon.

But what happened next was far beyond the expectations of Shen Yi's soldiers on the shore.

When the hundreds of boats were on fire, the enemy general not only did not order to retreat, but instead ordered the soldiers around him to beat their waist drums, urging them to speed up the rowing.

When the drum on Ding Feng's walking boat sounded, the drums on the other hundreds of walking boats also sounded.

Under the influence of hundreds of drums, the more than a hundred Mi army ships rushing towards the shore not only did not slow down, but even increased by three points.

Seeing this scene, thousands of Shenyi soldiers on the shore were all stunned.

Are these hundreds of mi troops desperate?
Although according to the current speed of the walking boats, they can reach the river bank before the walking boats burn out, but their walking boats will also be completely destroyed, and then they will have no way out!

The soldiers of Shen Yi knew about it, how could Ding Feng not know about it?
At this moment, he could already feel the heat of the flames on his back.

It seemed that the next moment, the flame would burn on him, turning him into ashes.

But looking at the enemy army who was already close at hand, Ding Feng only had firmness in his eyes.

Don't you just don't want to die?This is not the first time he has done this.

He knew that Mi Yang had never really felt at ease with him, and he also knew that today was a test for him by Mi Yang.

But temptation is also opportunity.

As long as he can contribute to Mi Yang today, his position in Mi Yang's heart will rise in a straight line in the future.

He doesn't know the scriptures, doesn't understand the classics, and there are no famous officials in the family who can be his asylum, so if he wants to make a career in the troubled times, he has to die.

Since it shoots out like an arrow from the string, is there any reason to turn back?

Ding Feng's determination was very firm, but under the influence of the flames, the hundreds of Mi Yang's relatives began to waver in their determination.

Ding Feng, who noticed this scene, immediately began to recite Mi Yang's order of seven beheadings first.

"Whoever hears the drum and does not advance will be cut off"

"Whoever Commands Doesn't Follow"

"Avoid the front and cut to the back"

As Ding Feng's voice spread, the rest of the Mi troops walking on the boat not far away heard Ding Feng's recitation.

When they heard Ding Feng's recitation, the Seven Slash Orders that had already been familiarized by heart instantly flooded their hearts.

Only then did they realize that if they retreated now, they would die if they returned to the army.

But if they continue to charge with Ding Feng, there may still be a way out.

Many people can't do multiple-choice questions, but everyone can do a simple comparison of interests.

Under the influence of this kind of thinking, more and more Mi soldiers began to recite the seven beheading orders. They wanted to use the seven beheading orders to stabilize their minds!

With the spread of the content of the Seven Slashing Order, the minds of the five hundred soldiers gradually settled down.

Most of them were originally Mi Yang's old public security department, and they were different from ordinary recruits. After experiencing the training of the public security battle, they were more determined.

Not long after their minds became firm, their walking boats had already reached the shore!
Ding Feng's walking boat was the first to land, and just after landing, Ding Feng looked at the wooden door stopper that Shen Yi was proud of, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Either he died on this shore today, or the wooden door was destroyed by him!

Ding Feng pulled out the long knife at his waist, and without hesitation, he rushed towards the enemy in front.

The retreat was cut off, and at this time, no banner command could compare to his example.

After Ding Feng's boat docked, the other hundred boats also docked one after another.

Seeing Ding Feng's behavior of taking the lead, the five hundred Mi Yang's soldiers got their morale boosted one after another, and then they drew out the long knives around their waists one after another, and killed Shen Yi's soldiers on the shore.

And after Ding Feng and the five hundred relatives came ashore, the more than one hundred ships behind them all fell into the sea of ​​fire not long after.

Thousands of Shenyi soldiers inside the wooden door looked at the [-] Mi troops coming towards them with the sea of ​​flames on their backs, all of them felt fear in their hearts.

Are these hundreds of people crazy?
The guard of the wooden gate was Shen Yi's younger brother. After seeing this scene, he forcibly stabilized his mind. He first commanded all the soldiers to stand behind the antlers to resist the hundreds of Mi troops.

He saw the torches on the waists of those hundreds of soldiers. Once the hundreds of soldiers broke through the antlers, the consequences would be disastrous.

Then he immediately called a personal guard and told him to return to the city to report to Shen Yi, and told him to send more reinforcements as soon as possible.

He had a very bad premonition in his heart at this moment.

Perhaps the thousands of soldiers on the shore are not enough to resist the hundreds of Mi troops.

Once the wooden door is lost, the West City will be over!
