Mi Han

Chapter 434
When Cao Hong's voice sounded, everyone's attention quickly focused on him.

Cao Hong knew that he was not liked by Cao Pi, so since he came to Chencang City, he has been living in seclusion, and he will not participate in the council unless Cao Zhen is called.

Unexpectedly, he would speak suddenly at this moment.

And from Cao Hong's tone, it can be heard that he has a deep hatred for Mi Yang.

All this is because Cao Hong's good brother Cao Ren died at the hands of Mi Yang.

This kind of hatred made Cao Hong no longer care about anything.

Seeing that everyone looked over, Cao Hong explained: "Although our army is divided into three groups, they do not fight independently, but coordinate with each other.

If Mi Yang dared to mobilize the defenders of Yangping Pass when the generals encircled Nanzheng, then I would personally lead the Central Route Army to seize Yangping Pass.

At that time, Yangping Pass and all the cities in Hanzhong will be lost. Even if Mi Yang can hold Nanzheng, will Hanzhong still belong to the bandit army?
And in this case, can Mi Yang really defend Nanzheng? "

Although Cao Hong said interrogative sentences, his tone was full of determination.

This is the judgment of a veteran who has been around for many years, which naturally convinces many people.

Yangping Pass is a great pass in the world, but no matter how strong the city defense of Yangping Pass is, it needs enough troops to defend it, otherwise it will not be difficult to capture Yangping Pass.

But isn't Mi Yang now in a situation where he is short of food and soldiers?
The Wei army has a vast land and abundant resources, and has a large number of troops. Naturally, it can divide its troops to attack and adopt flexible combat strategies. However, when the soldiers and food are all short, Mi Yang does not have such conditions.

Although the Wei army is divided into three groups, it is not that they do not belong to each other. They have a supreme commander Cao Zhen, which ensures that the three Wei armies will not fall into a situation of fighting on their own in terms of command structure.

After Cao Hong resolved everyone's doubts, they no longer had any doubts in their hearts.

Judging from the current situation, the three-way attack strategy proposed by Yang Fu is indeed the best strategy for the Wei army to conquer Hanzhong.

And Cao Zhen, who had been watching the faces of the people, saw that there was no longer any hesitation on the faces of the people, so he asked the people in the hall symbolically:
"What do you guys think of Yang Qing's strategy?"

After Cao Zhen's inquiry spread throughout the hall, everyone in the hall clasped their hands to Cao Zhen to express their approval of Yang Fu's strategy of southern expedition.

Seeing that everyone agrees, then Cao Zhen has no hesitation.

He immediately stood up on the main seat, looked at the many big Wei humerus below with tiger eyes, and announced with a final word:
"Since all the kings have no objection, then our army will use this strategy to march south."

After saying this, Cao Zhen looked at Guo Huai who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and said loudly, "Where is Guo Huai!"

As soon as Cao Zhen called out, Guo Huai immediately got up from his seat and came to the hall.

After Guo Huai came out, Cao Zhen immediately ordered: "Gu Jin worships you as the general who conquers Shu, and leads an army of [-] to attack Hanzhong County from Wudu."

Facing Cao Zhen's appointment, Guo Huai did not dare to hesitate in the slightest. He bowed deeply to Cao Zhen, and solemnly replied, "Wei."

After announcing the appointment of Guo Huai, Cao Zhen turned his attention to Cao Hong who was present.

Seeing Cao Zhen's gaze, Cao Hong came to the hall honestly at this time, even though he was Cao Zhen's elder, waiting for Cao Zhen's appointment.

As for Cao Hong, Cao Zhen's appointment seemed a little more meaningful.

"Gu Jin appoints you as the commander of our army's central route army, and leads the attack on the enemy's Baishui."

This appointment is quite satisfactory, but what Cao Zhen said next surprised everyone in the hall.

"I'm going to be the governor of Liangzhou again as your guard. I hope you and Yang Qing can cooperate sincerely."

When Cao Zhen's appointment was announced, without mentioning the reaction of others, Cao Hong raised his head and looked at Cao Zhen in surprise.

The position of guarding the army was created by Cao Cao to control generals with different surnames.

But Cao Hong is a serious relative of the Cao family, and Cao Wei's own family. Does it need to send guards to control it?
You must know that Guo Huai, a person with a different surname, Cao Zhen did not appoint a guard in his army.

Facing Cao Hong's surprised gaze, Cao Zhen intentionally avoided his gaze.

Let Yang Fu serve as Cao Hong's army guard, this is an imperial decree from Luoyang.

The emperor of his own family still holds grudges after all.

Although Cao Hong was surprised by Cao Zhen's arrangement, it was impossible for him to resist Cao Zhen's appointment in public. This was a serious challenge to Cao Zhen's majesty.

Cao Zhen doesn't regard him as his own family, but he can't.

After sighing silently in his heart, Cao Hong reluctantly accepted Cao Zhen's appointment.

This means that Cao Zhen's appointment in front of everyone has ended.

The Central Route Army, which is the main force of the Wei Army, is led by Cao Zhen himself, so naturally there is no need for a separate appointment.

Cao Zhen finally looked at the people in the hall. In a trance, his eyes seemed to drift unconsciously from the people in the hall to the ten-mile company outside the city.

Thinking of the nearly [-] field elites outside the city, Cao Zhen was filled with pride.

The young man who was always by Cao Cao's side, has now grown into a great talent who can lead an army of [-] on an expedition.

Cao Zhen never forgot the earnest teachings of Cao Cao when he was alive. Although he was not Cao Cao's parent and son, Cao Cao never kept secrets from him.

As the arrogance continued to surge in his chest, Cao Zhen's eyes gradually became hot.

He shouted to everyone in the hall: "Everyone, everyone!

Now that our army has assembled, the strategy for the southern expedition has been decided, and our army will soon march south to Hanzhong.

Gu hopes that in the next battle of the Southern Expedition, all of you will work hard and work together with Gu to defeat Mi Yang, a powerful enemy.

If the future is as expected today, Gu Guarantee that everyone present here will have their wives and sons, and live together with the country! "

What's the best way to boost morale?
Undoubtedly a generous reward.

And for the people of this world, the four characters of conferring a wife and a son are the best reward.

So when Cao Zhen said these four words, many people in the hall became short of breath.

Everyone got up from their seats one after another, bowed deeply to the tall Cao Zhen, and shouted in unison:

"Only to die!"

The shouts of the crowd gathered together like a tumbling heat wave, making the atmosphere of the whole hall hot.

Feeling the fiery atmosphere in the hall, General Cao couldn't help laughing again.

Mi Yang, die.

In February of the third year of Zhangwu in the Han Dynasty, Cao Zhen gathered all the officials in Guanzhong in Chencang City to discuss the strategy of the southern expedition.

At the end of the same month, the last ten thousand Wei troops rushed from Chang'an to the outside of Chencang City.

After the [-] Wei troops had assembled outside Chencang City, a statement written by Wei Shizhong Liu Ye himself began to be issued from Chencang City, and then spread outward at an extremely fast speed.

If the name is not correct, the words will not go well, so before the war, the side that launched the attack will always want to write a letter to announce the world.

In today's world where names are valued, the power of a call to action cannot be underestimated sometimes.

Hanzhong is not far from Guanzhong, and with Cao Zhen's intention to spread it, "Fighting Shu Wen" quickly spread throughout the land of Hanzhong.

Of course, as the ruler of Hanzhong, Mi Yang also received this letter immediately.

"Han Zuo declined, the land collapsed, and the life of the people was almost wiped out. Emperor Taizu Wu, a martial sage, set things right, saved him from falling, and created Xia in our district."

When he saw this sentence, Mi Yang agreed in his heart. Although he and Cao Wei were enemies, Cao Cao did have meritorious deeds.

"Today's Lord Shang Shengde Qinming, Shaolong's prelude. Mourning Bashu, who is only a bandit, and he has worked hard for this common people."

When seeing this sentence, Mi Yang inevitably sneered.

Cao Pi really put gold on his face, and Cao Rui deserves this sentence when he is in power. How dare he?

And as he continued to watch, when he saw that "the six divisions were awarded by order, Gong Xingtian punished, and the Yongzhou and Hushi armies advanced in five ways", some interesting colors appeared on Mi Yang's face.

He has a sense of deja vu for such an army strategy.

But what happened next made Mi Yang a little dumbfounded.

"Liu Bei launched an army in Shuoye, trapped Ji and Xu's suburbs, and ordered Shao and Bu to help them. The Taizu rescued them and helped them. He was very good with Long. Zhonggeng changed his ways and broke his trust. It can be said that people and gods are indignant."

"Additionally, Mi Zisheng has played many evil deeds and harmed my good generals, and now he is entrenched in Hanchuan, spying on our borders, harassing our Di and Qiang, and harming our good people. His wolf ambition is well known to passers-by.

There are many reasons for Fang's country, and the Nine Expeditions have not been repaired.Now that Hexi has won a great victory, hundreds of clans have surrendered, there is nothing to do in the party, and they are ready to wait for the time, and the troops are united. However, the people of Hanzhong, who are divided into defenses, will be difficult to defend against the army of the world.

The humble soldiers in the south are hard to fight against the dignified Chen.In recent years, Yizhou has never been peaceful.The husbands are exhausted, the people are poor, and the warehouses are empty. All the sages have seen this with their own eyes.

The prime minister of Shu, Zhuang, saw that he was captured in Qin, and Gongsun Shu was the first in Han. The evil in Hanzhong lies in the Mi surname. If the Mi surname is not empty, the world will never have a peaceful day. This is what all sages have heard.

In today's country, the thought of overthrowing the sky, Zaifu promotes the virtue of forgiveness, first benefit and then punish, like to kill and hate to kill.

In the past, Liu Cong was attached to Juzhou, and he was the boss with different ranks.

As the saying goes, the wise see the danger in the invisible, and the wise see the disaster in the infancy. They went to business with a small child, grew up as Zhou Bin, Chen Ping carried the title, and made contributions to the Han Dynasty.

Sincerely can learn from success or failure, follow the traces of the micro, follow the track of Chen Ping, then you will be blessed with the ancients and celebrate the descendants!

If the scholars and people in Liangzhou repented and returned to the righteousness, abandoned the rebellion and returned to the king's teacher, the king's teacher must protect the old business with Er and others, the farmer is not easy to be mu, and the market will not return to the law.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to get rid of the danger of tired eggs and enjoy the blessing of eternal peace?If you foolishly believe in thieves, and you are deluded and do not turn back, once the soldiers attack, the jade and stone will be shattered, even if you want to regret it, it will be too late.

I would like to choose the advantages and disadvantages carefully, seek more blessings for myself, and announce each one, so that the salty messengers can hear it. "

After Mi Yang read this passage, he asked Fa Miao below, "Is this the "Fighting Shu Wen" issued by Cao Zhen?"

Fa Miao was almost in a hurry, but he had to answer Mi Yang's question, so he could only nod his head.

After getting Fa Miao's affirmation, Mi Yang couldn't help laughing. He threw the proclamation in his hand on the ground in disdain, and then mocked:
"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are at hand, why is Cao Zhen afraid of me?"

When Mi Yang uttered these words, the Liangzhou subordinates present were taken aback for a moment, and then they felt that what Mi Yang said made sense.

It is said that this essay is called "Fighting Shu", but most of the content of the whole article is aimed at Mi Yang, encouraging the scholars and people in Liangzhou to betray Mi Yang, as if defeating Mi Yang can take the entire Shu land in an instant.

If it wasn't for Mi Yang's awakening, they might not have felt that there was something wrong, but under Mi Yang's reminder, they realized that this is not just a manifestation of Wei Jun's fear of Mi Yang?

It is more appropriate to call this call to arms "Fat Shu Wen" rather than "Fat Mi Wen".

When this kind of thought surfaced in their hearts, the eagerness and worry in the hearts of everyone present eased a lot.

Their faces are no longer so ugly.

Everyone here has read the content of the call to action. From the content, it can be seen that Wei Jun's southern expedition has been planned for a long time, and it is coming fiercely.

Not to mention that the chief general of the Wei army is Cao Zhen, who has recently gained fame in Guanzhong, but the number of Wei army's southern expedition specified in the call-to-action has reached hundreds of thousands.

Although everyone also guessed that the number of hundreds of thousands of troops must be exaggerated, but no matter how exaggerated, the total strength of about [-] troops is there.

And how many troops are there in Hanzhong now?

Only twenty thousand!

After Deng Ai led an army of [-] troops to the south, not long ago, Mi Yang received a report from Meng Da, the prefect of Hanxing, saying that Sima Yi frequently mobilized troops in Wancheng, and seemed to have the intention of invading Hanxing.

After getting the news, Mi Yang sent someone to Yiyang County to inform Li Yan of the incident—who knows if Sima Yi actually aimed at Yiyang with a feint shot?

On the other hand, he ordered Wei Yan to lead an army of five thousand to go east to support Hanxing County.

With the continuous deployment of soldiers and horses, the total strength of Hanzhong's troops is now only [-].

[-] people sounds like a lot, but [-] troops have to defend the various fortresses in Hanzhong. With such continuous division of troops, how many troops will remain in Nanzheng in the end?

If the troops are not enough, can the Wei army who are like wolves and tigers be resisted just by relying on the cold city walls?

Most importantly, there is a shortage of food in Hanzhong.

When there is no fighting, the army does not carry out large-scale mobilization, so the food and grass can be kept at a minimum loss.

But once the war begins, the Han army sometimes has to be mobilized frequently, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the consumption rate of Hanzhong's grain reserves.

But in this way, how long can the food in Hanzhong last?
This point, as Lv Yi in Hanzhong's governance, is the most clear.

Therefore, among all the subjects of Liangzhou present, his expression was the most ugly.

As Mi Yang's confidant, Lu Yi knew that the Wei army had the intention of marching south, but after knowing the total strength of the Wei army that might be dispatched, Lu Yi and all the Liangzhou officials still felt a huge pressure. They couldn't get their breath out.

Fortunately, they didn't see the panic look on Mi Yang's face, otherwise their mentality would be even more disordered.

Mi Yang is their backbone.

After allaying the worries of most of the subordinates with one sentence, Mi Yang said calmly to the subordinates: "The soldiers will block the water and cover them with soil. Cao Zhen is so afraid of me, why are you afraid of the bandit army?"

After saying this, Mi Yang asked most of his subjects to resign from the agency affairs, leaving only Fa Miao.

Wei Jun hasn't come yet, so we can't leave government affairs behind because of worries in our hearts.

But after most of the subordinates left, Mi Yang's originally calm expression was gone, and a serious expression gradually appeared on his face.

He asked Fa Miao to come closer, then grabbed Fa Miao's hand and said: "Send someone to call General Hussars immediately, it must be quick!"

Mi Yang's urging made Fa Miao realize the importance of this matter. After bowing to Mi Yang, he quickly ran out of the hall to do this matter.

After Fa Miao left, Mi Yang looked at the letter on the ground that was covered with black footprints, the seriousness in his eyes no longer concealed it.

Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked in three directions, Cao Zidan, you really think highly of me!
