Mi Han

Chapter 453
Mi Yang's sudden arrival did not disturb most of the generals in Yangping Pass.

Even many generals on our own side don't know about this, let alone Ren Xiang who has been kept in the dark.

Wu Yi did not break his promise.

On the second day after the late-night meeting, Wu Yi delivered the letter he had copied to Ren Xiang.

And Wu Yi personally sent Ren Xiang all the way outside Yangping Pass.

Along the way, Wu Yi intentionally picked up some of his difficulties and shared them with Ren Xiang.

For example, one of them is that Fa Miao is currently the deputy general of Yangpingguan.

In Wu Yi's narration, Fa Miao has undoubtedly become the biggest obstacle preventing him from surrendering.

Ren Xiang was not surprised by this.

He kept all the difficulties Wu Yi told him in his heart, and Cao Hong and Wu Yi will overcome these difficulties together in the future.

After Wu Yi sent Ren Xiang outside Yangping Pass, he personally brought a horse, and then helped Ren Xiang onto the horse.

"Yi's wealth and life depend on Ren Jun's trip, and I hope Ren Jun will not let Yi down."

Wu Yi's low profile made Ren Xiang very useful.

He nodded to Wu Yi, and then led a few entourages, driving the steed under his crotch towards Wu Street.

After Ren Xiang's figure gradually disappeared from sight, Wu Yi heaved a sigh of relief.

He has already done what should be done, and the next thing is to see how useful the letter written by Mi Yang can be.

In a hurry, Ren Xiang returned to the Wei Army camp outside Wu Street within a few days.

Same as when he left before, Cao Hong had only let the Wei army practice hard in the camp for the past few days, and had no other plan to attack the city.

After learning the news of Ren Xiang's return, Cao Hong immediately summoned Ren Xiang in the big tent.

The moment he saw Ren Xiang, Cao Hong looked a little anxious, and he asked Ren Xiang, "How is it?"

Under Cao Hong's inquiry, Ren Xiang quickly took out Wu Yi's reply letter from his bosom, and said with a smile on his face, "Wu Yi is willing to sacrifice Yangping Pass."

Hearing Ren Xiang's words, Cao Hong couldn't help being overjoyed.

He didn't wait for Ren Xiang to deliver Wu Yi's letter to him, so he came to Ren Xiang in two steps and took the letter from Ren Xiang's hand.

A tearing sound sounded in the silent big tent, and the eager Cao Hong couldn't wait to tear off the seal of the letter in his hand and read it.

"Yi paused, Cao Huan and his cavalry were all safe, very lucky, very lucky!
The general is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, and his name is passed down in Huaxia. He met the Ming Lord in the past, made great achievements, and was named a marquis.

On the other hand, Yi abandons the swan to soar high, greedy for the small ambition of a bird, will be a captive who is fleeing for death, trembling at the sound of the axe, and bowing his knees to the false dynasty, how evil is it!
Since ancient times, when the sages went and went, it was not because of others that they were persecuted internally and rumored externally, and there was no way to advance or retreat, so they ended up here.

The general does not regard his ministers as despicable, but patronizes kindness, pushes his heart in letters, and expresses his interests in words.

Zhu Tuan was involved in the blood of Youyu, Zhang Xiujue was in love with his son, Guangwu did not doubt it, Emperor Wu treated him as before, this is the national style of the Emperor Wei, and Yichang admired it.

Yi often thinks to himself that there is no crime from his ancestors, and if his ancestors are still like this, what doubts does Yi have?

Husband lost his way and knows how to return, going to philosophy is right.

Husband, with the prosperity of the Yuan family, the city was broken and the city was destroyed, Ma Chao was so strong, he fled to the middle of Shu, turned into a foreign race, and hung his head on the street, all of which were invincible by Emperor Wei Wuwei.

Today, Yi swims like a fish in a boiling cauldron, and a swallow nests above a flying screen, feeling very much in his heart.

It's the autumn harvest, remembering the Central Plains, when the wheat is fragrant for thousands of miles, seeing the people of the old country today, I feel that I have been born in the past, and I am deeply saddened!

Lian Gong thinks of General Zhao, Wu Zizhi weeps at Xihe, human love, but I am ruthless?
Today Yi wants to encourage good rules early, abandon the dark and turn to the bright, General Wanwang will no longer hesitate! "

There are not many contents in Wu Yi's letter, but every sentence is touching and can easily arouse people's inner approval.

At least after Cao Hong read it, the expression of emotion on his face would not go away for a long time.

With all kinds of emotions, Cao Hong couldn't help calling Ren Xiang and said, "Mr. Wu's state of mind is so desolate!"

Cao Hong's first feeling after reading Wu Yi's letter was that Wu Yi was not only unhappy in Liangzhou, but could be described as sad.

Thinking about it carefully, Wu Yi's current situation is somewhat similar to his previous situation in Luoyang.

Precarious, trembling.

After hearing Cao Hong's emotion, Ren Xiang immediately struck while the iron was hot, and truthfully recounted to Cao Hong the four major hatreds that Wu Yi told him that night.

After listening to Wu Yi's four major hatreds, combined with the content of the letter in his hand, Cao Hong has a clearer understanding of Wu Yi's current situation in his heart.

In such a situation, Wu Yi couldn't justify it otherwise.

However, Cao Hong is not a judgmental person, and the tragic case of Cao Ren has not been too long, so after Cao Hong pondered for a while, he asked Ren Xiang to summon Yang Fu.

There is one thing to say, although Cao Hong is not happy with Yang Fu, but Yang Fu is wise.

The matter of recruiting Wu Yi to surrender was of great importance, and it would not be too late to make a decision after discussing with Yang Fu.

Called by Ren Xiang, Yang Fu soon came to Cao Hong's big tent.

After Yang Fu arrived, Cao Hong signaled Ren Xiang to tell Yang Fu what he had done in the past few days, and Cao Hong also gave Yang Fu the letter written by Wu Yi to read.

After Yang Fu heard what Ren Xiang had done in the past few days, a little astonishment appeared on his face.

No wonder he saw Ren Xiang leaving mysteriously a few days ago. It turned out that Ren Xiang was going to handle this matter under Cao Hong's order.

The recruiting of Wu Yi also concentrated Yang Fu's spirit like never before.

If the matter of recruiting and surrendering Wu Yi can be achieved, it goes without saying that he will make a huge contribution to the sky.

But what if it doesn't work, or is this a trick of the Han army to surrender?

The strong stakes in it made Yang Fu have to concentrate on examining this matter.

Yang Fu quickly finished reading the contents of Wu Yi's letter, and after reading it, Yang Fu expressed a different feeling from Cao Hong:

"Unexpectedly, Wu Yi has such literary talent!"

Because of their different positions, after reading this letter, Cao Hong and Yang Fu expressed different emotions.

But even though their emotions were different, the two expressed the same emotion, that is, they were emotionally willing to believe in Wu Yi's surrender.

After all, true love will resonate, and if there is no resonance, how can there be emotion?

It's just that the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of Wei troops are at stake in the hands of Cao Hong and Yang Fu, and their emotional recognition is not enough to make them fully believe in Wu Yi's sincerity.

Next, intellectual judgment is required.

But it was at this point that Cao Hong and Yang Fu had a dispute.

Although Yang Fu has also been in charge of the army, he is essentially a politician and counselor.

In terms of Yang Fu's position, he definitely hoped to get Yangping Pass at the least price, or even without paying any price.

Therefore, Yang Fu's suggestion is: let Wu Yi take the initiative to open the gate of Yangping Pass and let the Wei army enter the city directly.

The best thing is that after opening the city gate, Wu Yi leads the army to line up outside Yangping Pass, which is the safest way.

But Yang Fu's suggestion was categorically rejected by Cao Hong.

Compared with Yang Fu, Cao Hong has been in battle for a long time, and has rich experience in recruiting and accepting rebels.

Wu Yi has already informed Cao Hong through Ren Xiang that he is not alone in making decisions in Yangping Pass.

As Mi Yang's confidant, Fa Miao, as the deputy general of Yangpingguan, has been monitoring him.

Under such circumstances, how could Wu Yi open the city gate of Yangpingguan?
Is Fa Miao dead?

Yang Fu's suggestion is not realistic at all.

Cao Hong knew that Yang Fu was because of Cao Ren's death, and he didn't want Wei Jun to take any risk to take Yangping Pass, but how could this be possible.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a war that is completely risk-free. If you are afraid of taking risks, why fight?

As a mature warrior, Cao Hong does not lack the risk-taking style, as long as the future benefits can be directly proportional to the risks.

Because of the different thoughts in their hearts, Cao Hong and Yang Fu confronted each other tit for tat, and the two had long disliked each other, so the two ended the meeting after arguing.

In fact, the current internal contradictions in the Wei army also exist in the Han army.

The chief general Wu Yi of Yangping Pass and his deputy Fa Miao were also at odds at the beginning.

However, unlike Wei Jun, when facing major events, Wu Yi and Fa Miao are willing to put aside their previous suspicions, be open and honest, and reach an agreement with an attitude of seeking common ground while reserving differences.

But Cao Hong and Yang Fu couldn't do this.

However, this is not to blame for Cao Hong and Yang Fu, it is because the political environments of Wei and Han are different.

Cao Pi's political skills are in the same line as Cao Cao's. He wished that the ministers below him would disagree and check and balance each other.

After Yang Fu left Cao Hong's tent angrily, Cao Hong did not intend to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because of the quarrel with Yang Fu.

After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a compromise. He immediately wrote another letter to Ren Xiang, asking him to return to Yangping Pass quickly and hand the letter into Wu Yi's hands.

As long as Wu Yi can do what he said in the letter, then Cao Hong is willing to believe in Wu Yi's sincerity.

It seems that Cao Hong intends to bypass Yang Fu and directly contribute to the event of recruiting Wu Yi.

When Cao Hong was arranging everything, Yang Fu was not idle when he returned to the big tent.

In the face of Wu Yi's surrender, in Yang Fu's view, he believed mostly.

Otherwise, he would not have made such a suggestion to Cao Hong.

But out of caution in his heart, Yang Fu still didn't want Cao Hong and Meng Lang to act.

Yang Fu didn't know that Cao Hong was already planning to bypass him to directly facilitate the deal with Wu Yi.

Yang Fu felt that he should report this matter to Cao Zhen.

Thinking of this, Yang Fu no longer hesitated.

Soon after, Yang Fu quickly wrote a letter and asked his cronies to send it along the mountain road to Cao Zhen's place.

Since the Yangping Pass was not opened, the communication between the Caowei Middle Route Army and the East Route Army was not smooth.

The connection between the two armies needs to be completed through continuous mountain roads, and this has led to the fact that Yang Fu's letter may not be delivered to Cao Zhen in time.

While enjoying the benefits brought by the division of troops, the objective disadvantages of the division of troops should naturally be borne by the Wei army.

Where is Cao Zhen's army now?

Cao Zhen's army has just walked out of Luogu Road.

Cao Zhen's army encountered the same troubles as in history.

At the beginning of July, Cao Zhen's [-] troops began to divide into two groups and began to march towards the hinterland of Hanzhong.

However, from Hanzhong to August, it announced the arrival of the rainy season.

Although Cao Zhen did not encounter the rare heavy rain that lasted a whole month in history, the sudden arrival of the rainy season still slowed down the progress of Cao Zhen's army to a certain extent.

Fortunately, Cao Zhen set off early. If Cao Zhen's army waited until August to set off, I'm afraid it would take a lot of time for his army to just walk out of Luogu Road.

Cao Zhen, who led the army just out of Luogu Road, looked at the endless mountain road behind him, feeling lucky in his heart.

No one else will know the arduous march of the past month, but fortunately, his army has finally walked out of Luogu Road.

Cao Zhen stood on a high ground outside Luogu Road, looking at the vast plain in the distance, he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

In his line of sight, he seemed to vaguely see the Nanzheng City standing on the Hanzhong Plain.

In that city lived Cao Wei's greatest enemy today, and it was also his biggest target this time.

When Cao Zhen was looking in the direction of Nanzheng, Liu Ye, Cao Zhen's military adviser, came to Cao Zhen's side.

Seeing Liu Ye coming, Cao Zhen temporarily put away his gaze.

With the passage of time, many of Cao Wei's founding fathers have passed away.

But before Cao Cao died, he still left Cao Pi with a large number of magnificent talent treasures.

Cao Zhen is a part of this treasure, and so is Liu Ye.

Perhaps Liu Ye has always been very low-key in the past, and Cao Weizhong knew that not many people knew his skills, but Cao Zhen, who was trained and raised by Cao Cao since childhood, had heard Cao Cao praise Liu Ye as a genius in the world many times in private.

Cao Cao's evaluation of Liu Ye is by no means inferior to Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu and others.

The reason why Liu Ye has been unable to occupy important positions in the Great Wei is not that he is not talented, but that his status has always been tabooed by the rulers of Cao Wei.

After Liu Ye came to Cao Zhen's side, he reported a piece of news to him.

"The Xiegu army has not left the Xiegu, and it may take some time before they can join the general."

After hearing the news, Cao Zhen had a hint of anger on his face.

How did Fei Yao lead his troops?

Isn't this a delayed fighter?

But even though he was a little angry, Cao Zhen couldn't deal with the slow progress of Fei Yao's army for the time being.

To punish Fei Yao, he had to wait for Fei Yao's army to walk out of the inclined valley.

Cao Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued to ask Liu Ye: "Is there any military situation?"

Facing Cao Zhen's inquiry, Liu Ye once again reported a military situation that surprised Cao Zhen.

"According to reports from spies, Mi Yang is now in Xingshi City."

After hearing this military situation, Cao Zhen suddenly became interested.

He asked his personal guards to fetch the map of Hanzhong, then he squatted down his fat body, put the map on the grass and looked at it carefully.

After learning about the geographical location of Xingshi City, Cao Zhen suddenly realized.

No wonder Mi Yang led the army to Xingshi City.

Xingshi City is located in the north of Nanzheng, in the middle of Luogukou and Xiedaokou.

Such a special location determined that Cao Zhen could not bypass Xingshi City and go directly south to attack Nanzheng.

Because if Cao Zhen's army abandons Xingshi, the Han army in Xingshi City can cut off the food road of Cao Zhen's army from behind.

No general would be willing to take such a risk.

After seeing Mi Yang's plan clearly, Cao Zhen tried to ask Liu Ye his opinion on the current military situation.

Under Cao Zhen's questioning, Liu Ye made an unexpected analysis.

"Ye feels that Mi Yang is not necessarily in Xingshi City."

Hearing Liu Ye's analysis, Cao Zhen instantly became interested.
