Mi Han

Chapter 436 How long do I have to wait after I die
"Keep the enemy out of the country's gates?"

As a veteran general, Ma Chao suddenly understood Mi Yang's intentions after carefully pondering this sentence.

If you want to keep the enemy out of the country, how can you allow the enemy to enter the pass, and how can you abandon the city to escape?

After understanding the strategy that Mi Yang was going to adopt, Ma Chao's face showed a strong hesitation.

He knew that the man sitting in front of him was the most famous general in the world.

Mi Yang's prestige has already allowed him to cross the boundaries of generations, look at each other as equals, and even look down upon any general in the world.

But even though Mi Yang has such a deep reputation, Ma Chao is still unconsciously puzzled by the strategy Mi Yang wants to adopt.

Our own strength is far weaker than that of the enemy, so how can we adopt the strategy of standing firm everywhere?

It's just that although he hesitated in his heart, Ma Chao didn't speak to dissuade Mi Yang.

After all, Ma Chao is still very concerned about his sensitive and embarrassing identity. He is not Mi Yang's confidant, so he will not be able to speak freely when doing many things.

But Mi Yang, who was good at observing words and expressions, could see the doubts in Ma Chao's heart from Ma Chao's expression.

After realizing this, Mi Yang reached out and took out a playbook from his pocket.

He handed the playbook in Ma Chao's hands, motioning him to unfold it.

Under Mi Yang's signal, although Ma Chao hesitated, he took the playbook and began to read it.

Ma Chao's pupils couldn't help shrinking when his eyes touched the first sentence on the playbook.

"Today's strength is not enough to resist the enemy. Listen to the two cities of Han and Le. When the bandits order to enter, Bill will be able to save the Yizhou reinforcements."

Just looking at this sentence, Ma Chao knew that the person who wrote the memorial had offered Mi Yang the same strategy as he thought.

And after Ma Chao read all the content in the playbook, Mi Yang avoided half of his body so that Ma Chao's eyes could pass over him and come to the desk behind him.

At the moment, on the desk, there is a backlog of memorials like a hill.

"After the "Fighting Shu Wen" spread in Hanzhong, it caused a wave of panic inside and outside Hanzhong.

In a panic, hundreds of officials in the county and state government wrote to me to explain their strategies to deal with the enemy.

General Hussars, do you know that most of the strategies for dealing with the enemy described in the hundreds of memorials are basically the same as what you just said. "

Hearing what Mi Yang said, Ma Chao's expression became even more hesitant.

Among the hundreds of officials who wrote the letter, there must be Mi Yang's confidantes.

He might have thought just now that Mi Yang didn't adopt his strategy because he didn't trust him.

But now it seems that the suspicion in his heart is not true.

But the real fact may be that defending the enemy outside the country is the strategy Mi Yang really wants to adopt.

But how is this possible.

With the strategy that Mi Yang showed before, how could he not understand that the strategy he presented just now is the best strategy for dealing with Liangzhou at the moment?
Soon Mi Yang's next sentence solved Ma Chao's confusion.

Mi Yang looked at Ma Chao intently, and said to Ma Chao in a sincere tone:
"The strategy of General Hussars and my subordinates is indeed the best strategy for the current Liangzhou."

"But this strategy is an extremely bad strategy for the big man.

Today's defense system in Hanzhong, Zhuzhen Fortress was built by my two mentors.

Based on the strategy of the two of them, don't they know that if the Japanese bandits attack Hanzhong in the future, they will mobilize a terrifying force?
Today, Cao Cao has millions of people, and he is coercing the emperor to command the princes. This is sincere and cannot be competed with.

This sentence is a sentence that the prime minister said to Longzhong.

And the prime minister's Longzhong confrontation originated more than ten years ago, and the Wei army in more than ten years has already been a force that is difficult to compete in the world.

More than ten years later, the strength of the Wei army is bound to rise to a higher level. Not only the prime minister and Yihou know this, but everyone in the world knows it.

But since the Prime Minister and Yihou knew this, why did they set up this continuous line of defense in Hanzhong?

Don't they know that with Hanzhong's national power, even with the national power of a big Han, it is extremely disadvantageous to repeatedly seesaw with the enemy on this continuous defense line? "

Mi Yang's explanation proceeded layer by layer, successfully making Ma Chao fall into deep thought.

Zhuge Liang is famous for his strategic thinking, and Fazheng frightened the Wei army with his unpredictable tactics. The defense system of Hanzhong created by these two people will not ignore such a fatal weakness.

But the two of them still did it, which shows that there was a reason why they had to do it.

But what is the reason for this?

"Those who plan for a moment are not enough to plan for a lifetime. Those who plan for a corner are not enough to control the overall situation.

This is what His Majesty taught me back then. I used to not be able to deeply understand the meaning of this sentence, but now I gradually understand it.

The reason why the Prime Minister and Marquis Yi wanted to set up a continuous line of defense in Hanzhong was that they were all planning for a lifetime and in charge of the overall situation.

Yufu and the juncture are actually the gate of Yizhou's misfortune and fortune.

Back then, Yihou said this to the left and right after he had finished arranging the defensive line in Hanzhong.

The juncture (Yangping Pass) is not the place of life and death in Hanzhong, but the place of life and death of the whole Yizhou, and even the whole Han!
And what caused this is the word human heart.

General Hussars and my subordinates have considered every aspect of the conspiracy, but they have neglected the key factor of human heart. "

"If General Hussars' strategy is adopted, Nanzheng will be safe for a period of time, but the passes at Yinping, Qiaotou, and Yangping will all fall into the hands of the enemy.

And after losing these places, what's the use of me defending a Nanzheng city?
The bandit army is powerful. With their strong national power, after they take down the fortresses, they are strong enough to defend the fortresses like gold.

By then, they had practically captured Hanzhong County.

The most important thing is that once the news of the fall of the fortresses in Hanzhong is sent back to Yizhou and spread to the whole world, the hearts of the great Han people will be shaken violently.

People's hearts are inherently changeable, and it is even more elusive under the turmoil. Once this step is reached, maybe I can defend Nanzheng, but won't people in Yizhou turn to the enemy? "

When Ma Chao heard these words, he instantly understood what Mi Yang's concerns were.

And Mi Yang's concerns are exactly what actually happened in history.

The strategy proposed by Ma Chao is exactly the method used by Jiang Wei when defending Hanzhong in history.

From a tactical point of view, Ma Chao and Jiang Wei's strategy is not wrong, but they just ignored people's hearts.

In the last battle against Shu in history, the reason why the Han army was defeated was that there were some traitors in the Han army.

But those traitors, did they want to surrender from the beginning?
Humans are animals that best weigh pros and cons.

It is undeniable that during the Three Kingdoms period, there were many touching deeds in which ideals, aspirations, and emotions surpassed interests, but the reason why those deeds are touching is that they are rare.

For most people in this world, they don't have too lofty morals, they are very straightforward, and they regard the pursuit of the greatest benefit as their life creed, which is something that many famous people cannot avoid.

Otherwise, how could Cao Wei be established.

And under this kind of human nature, the most fearful thing is the four words that the general situation is over.

In history, due to Jiang Wei's mistakes and Liu Chan's stupidity, many strategic locations in Hanzhong fell into the hands of the Wei army, and even the main force in Shuzhong retreated steadily to the Jiange area under the leadership of Jiang Wei.

In that case, Hanzhong has actually been declared occupied.

And Hanzhong is not an ordinary county, and its strategic significance is extraordinary. Hanzhong is to protect Yizhou and the gateway to the capital of Han Dynasty!
When the gate of the Han Dynasty was occupied by the enemy, and when the natural dangers of Hanzhong that were originally relied on disappeared without a trace, many people in Yizhou would naturally feel that the general situation was over.

It was this that eventually led to the disintegration of the army in Chengdu, causing many people in Yizhou to defect to the enemy, which greatly accelerated the demise of the Shu Han.

Some people may think that Liu Bei is still alive today, and the historical changes in Yizhou will not happen in the future, but this kind of thinking is incorrect.

During the first Xiangfan battle, Guan Yu flooded the seven armies, surrounded Fancheng, and trapped Cao Ren, the first general of Cao Wei, in Fancheng.

As a result, large-scale rebellions broke out in all parts of the Central Plains, and even in Yecheng, the capital of the Wei king.

You must know that Cao Cao was not dead at that time, he led the [-] elite Wei army in Luoyang.

Could it be that Cao Cao's prestige in the Central Plains is not as good as Liu Bei's prestige in Yizhou?

And compared to Cao Cao's [-] unused army on the surface, everyone in the world today knows that Yizhou has no main force.

This difference, after the fall of Hanzhong, is likely to plunge Yizhou into turmoil.

Needless to say, Yizhou is full of rebellions, as long as there is a pass guard in Yizhou who surrenders to the enemy, the chain reaction caused will be fatal to the big man.

This is what Hanzhong means to Yizhou and Dahan.

Ma Chao is not a stupid person. Under Mi Yang's reminder, he understood the biggest worry in Mi Yang's heart.

Ma Chao couldn't imagine how bad the situation in Yizhou would become after these two heavy news were sent back to Yizhou when a large area of ​​Hanzhong fell, and No. 1 Hanzhong would be besieged by Wei Jun in Nanzheng.

"After the general passed away last year, many ministers in the court suggested that I take over as Jingzhou Mu, but His Majesty Sacred Heart dictatorship established Liangzhou and made me serve as Liangzhou Mu.

This is His Majesty's trust in me.

Before Guanzhong was recovered, Hanzhong, as the gateway of Yizhou, actually guarded the people of Yizhou.

Your Majesty believes in me, no matter how critical the situation is one day, with my ability, I will always help him guard this treacherous heart.

I am grateful for His Majesty's trust, but it also places a heavy responsibility on me.

If there is no such mission in Hanzhong, then I will definitely adopt the strategy of General Hussars, and I will even do better in some aspects.

But this kind of strategy is very good for me and for Nan Zheng, but it may make the big man fall into a place of eternal doom, so I will never adopt it.

Even though the path I choose is extremely difficult and difficult, I will never be the sinner of a big man through the ages. "

Mi Yang's words were resounding, and every word he said hit Ma Chao's heart like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, making his heart feel like a stormy sea.

Maybe Ma Chao would sneer when ordinary people said these words, but Mi Yang said these words naturally with unparalleled convincing force.

Because that's what Mi Yang did in the public security guard battle that made Mi Yang famous.

Compared with him now, Mi Yang's status has undergone earth-shaking changes, but there may be a precious quality called original heart, which Mi Yang has never discarded for a day.

This quality is enough to make Ma Chao admire him.

Seeing Ma Chao's expression changed drastically because of his words, Mi Yang knew that half of his goal for today had been achieved.

Because of the strategy of dealing with the enemy in his heart, he must get Ma Chao's full assistance.

Under this kind of plan, his strategic thinking must not be concealed from Ma Chao.

In the face of the great enemy, if the strategic thinking of the coach and the general is not unified, then half of the battle has already been lost before it is fought.

Of course, what Mi Yang said to Ma Chao just now was not to deceive him.

Mi Yang is a fair person.

When he first became the shepherd of Liangzhou, he installed cronies and let go of his military power with a glass of wine. Later, he carried out a series of reforms in the territory, which almost wiped out the powerful family forces that opposed him in the territory.

His various behaviors essentially made him the real master of Liangzhou, and he was monopolizing the power.

It's not that Liu Bei is ignorant of Mi Yang's behaviors. Based on Liu Bei's experience, he can certainly see Mi Yang's thoughts, but he didn't become suspicious of Mi Yang because of this. Why?
Because Liu Bei believed that if a state shepherd could not fully control his territory, how could he help him defend against powerful enemies in the future, especially the strategic significance of Mi Yang, a state shepherd, was too great.

This is Liu Bei's trust in Mi Yang.

And because of this, before the big enemy comes, when the big man needs Mi Yang, the Liangzhou Mu, to help him through the most difficult disaster, Mi Yang can't back down, and he can't put his personal interests above the big man's interests superior.

It is true that Mi Yang has a strong desire for power, but power and duty are unified, and Mi Yang will not evade this point.

He is Liangzhou Mu of the Han Dynasty.

Ma Chao's mental shock didn't last long, and soon after, his expression stopped changing, and finally boiled down to one expression, that is—firmness.

It doesn't matter whether the future is difficult or not, as long as Wei Jun fights, then what's the problem with him fighting a tough battle with Mi Yang?
Ma Chao looked up at Mi Yang, and he asked, "What will Champion Hou do next?"

A smile appeared on Mi Yang's face when he heard Ma Chao calling himself the champion.

The meaning of the champion Hou in the Han army is extraordinary. If Ma Chao can call him the champion Hou as a soldier, the meaning expressed by Ma Chao is obvious.

What Mi Yang gained today is no longer an ally, but a "subordinate" who can be dispatched as much as he likes.

It's just that Mi Yang didn't point out this point, some things are just tacit to each other.

After Ma Chao asked that sentence, Mi Yang immediately picked up a wooden stick and pointed to a place on the map, which was Wudu.

"I have carefully studied the marching route of the bandit army. Leaving aside the intentions of the middle and east army, the intention of the bandit army's west route must be to take down Wudu County.

Once the thieves take Wudu County, then Yinping will be directly exposed to the front of the thieves, and there is no room for loss in Yinping.

So I think General Hussars led the army to resist Guo Huai's army. "

Hearing what Mi Yang said, Ma Chao's eyes gradually narrowed.

He asked Mi Yang, "How long do you need to stay?"

Seeing Ma Chao asking about this, Mi Yang fell silent.

After pondering for a long time, Mi Yang spit out a sentence in his mouth:

"After I die."

Mi Yang's answer made Ma Chao look sideways for a while.

Then he laughed.

When will the big man be happy?

When generals are not afraid of death!
