Mi Han

Chapter 456
After learning about Cao Hong's strategy, Mi Yang only felt a sense of deja vu.

In history, when Zhonghui defeated Shu, Yangping Pass in Hanzhong fell under similar circumstances.

Thinking of this, Mi Yang only felt that sometimes things in the world are really wonderful.

But after thinking about it again, Mi Yang realized that it's not that the world is wonderful, it's just that people's hearts are like this.

The strategy proposed by Cao Hong, in addition to being able to win the Yangping Pass with a high probability, can also guarantee the safety of his own army to a large extent.

The reason why Cao Hong's strategy is consistent with what the Wei army adopted in history is not that they have a tacit understanding across time and space, but that they all naturally like to doubt in their hearts.

When in doubt, is there any better strategy than this?
In history, Fu Qian let himself die in battle because of ignorance, and Yangpingguan fell, which directly led to the fall of the entire Hanzhong.

But Mi Yang is not Fu Qian. Cao Hong thought he was the oriole behind the mantis, but he didn't know that Mi Yang was the hunter who was holding a slingshot and wanted to shoot the bird.

After pondering for a while, Mi Yang looked at Wu Yi and said, "Promise him."

Mi Yang's decision made Wu Yi, Fa Miao, and Lu Yi all look at him in surprise.

In the end, it was Wu Yi who had the courage to remind softly: "Wei soldiers are numerous and powerful. If our army wants to adopt a strategy to lure the enemy, if we fail to guard against it, it may be self-defeating."

The three people present are all people who know the art of war.

They knew that the reason why Mi Yang agreed to Cao Hong's strategy was that he wanted to be the hunter hiding behind the oriole.

To put it bluntly, Mi Yang is playing a trick to lure the enemy.

But the reason why the hunter is confident to hit the squirrel soaring high in the sky is that he has a sharp slingshot in his hand.

Similarly, the reason why Cao Hong thinks this strategy is safe is that he has a lot of troops.

If Wu Yi didn't follow his strategy, then Wu Yi would naturally surrender falsely.

But if Wu Yi followed his plan, then no matter whether Wu Yi surrendered for real or not, once the gate of Yangping Pass was opened, wouldn't it be possible to take it by force with the Wei army's large numbers?
This is the biggest reason why Cao Hong is willing to take risks.

Cao Hong's thoughts could not be concealed from Wu Yi and the three present, and the three of them had a clear understanding of their own military strength.

At present, there are only [-] defenders of Yangping Pass, and at least [-] of these [-] must guard the various passes of Yangping Pass.

In other words, when the worst happens, Wu Yi can only rely on a thousand defenders to resist the onslaught of tens of thousands of Wei troops at the city gate. Such behavior is too risky in anyone's eyes.

Mi Yang naturally understands Wu Yi's reminder, and it's possible that he doesn't know Wu Yi's concerns.

But since he can make this decision, he will naturally have a way to deal with it.

Mi Yang looked at Wu Yi and the three present, and expressed his thoughts.

"In today's situation, whether it is military strength, military resources, or even strategic space, our military is at a disadvantage.

But our army also has two major advantages. "

"One of the great advantages of our army is that all the counties and main roads in Hanzhong are under our army's control, which allows our army to move quickly within Hanzhong, and even between Hanzhong and Hanxing.

Fending the enemy outside the country's gates does not mean blindly watching the enemy army grow stronger and constantly squeeze the living space of our army.

Before the enemy army has formed an encirclement of our army, our army should make full use of this advantage and carry out rapid mobilization of troops between various places.

Constantly looking for fighters during the movement, and constantly letting the enemy not know the purpose of our army during the movement.

Now in Hanzhong, our army does not have a mobile force, but in Hanxing, I still have [-] troops! "

The [-] troops that Mi Yang mentioned were the troops of Wei Yan who he had sent to garrison Hanxing before.

Hearing Mi Yang mention Wei Yan's army, even Fa Miao couldn't sit still now.

Fa Miao stood up and bowed to Mi Yang: "Your Majesty knows that you have the heart to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Cao Hong, but the main task of our army is to defend.

At the beginning when Junhou asked Wei Zhenbei to lead the troops to Hanxing, wasn't he worried about Sima Yi who was always on the verge of making a move?

Now the movements of Sima Yi and Zhang Yun's army are unknown, if the ruler hastily withdrew Wei Yan's army from Hanxing, once Sima Yi finds out the news, Hanxing may be in danger. "

Fa Miao's words made Wu Yi and Lu Yi agree with each other.

After all, even if Cao Hong's army needs to be dealt with, the current situation in Liangzhou is really not suitable for tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Fa Miao's suggestion did not make Mi Yang hesitate, but made him laugh out loud.

He stood up, walked up to Fa Miao with his hands behind his back, and said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other."

"As I said just now, our army has two advantages, the first lies in the location, and the second?

The second is that our army is not truly alone.

It is true that the army of Yizhou is going on an expedition to Nanzhong, but I am a big man, is it only Yizhou and Liangzhou? "

Speaking of this, Mi Yang showed a confident look on his face.

"Sima Yi is the governor of Jingzhou, and he is the governor of Jingzhou's military. If there is an opportunity, he will of course raise troops to attack Hanxing.

But what if his own base, Wancheng, is in danger?
Yangpingguan, Nanzheng, Xicheng, and Xiangyang are connected by the Hanshui River, and the transportation is very convenient. When I send a messenger to Xicheng, I will also send a messenger to Xiangyang to communicate with the general of the car.

When Wen Chang led the army to leave Xicheng, I will let General Cheqi lead the troops northward and release the news that they will attack Wancheng.

Once Sima Yi got the news, would he dare to lead the army on an expedition unscrupulously? "

"He dare not!"

Mi Yang's prestige has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Wu Yi and the three of them. Based on his past achievements, his judgment has a natural convincing force.

Looking at the confident Mi Yang, Fa Miao and Lu Yi's eyes were full of splendor.

After Wu Yi saw Mi Yang showing this side, he was deeply shocked in his heart.

After being shocked, Wu Yi finally understood something in his heart.

The Mi Yang that Wu Yi knew in the past was the summer sun who was good at political struggle and insight into people's hearts.

This is also an extraordinary talent, but in a chaotic world where famous generals emerge in large numbers, this talent is not enough to establish a huge personal prestige.

But today, after Wu Yi saw Mi Yang expounding his inner military strategy for the first time, when Mi Yang expounded the military strategy, he exuded the kind of powerful aura from the inside out, the kind of strong self-confidence to hold everything in his hands , even Wu Yi, a long-time veteran, couldn't help feeling surrender in his heart.

This is the real reason why Mi Yang is so favored by Liu Bei, and why he is so supported by tens of thousands of troops!
What is the champion who is the crown of all armies, and what is the Han Bailu who is radiant and untouchable.

Wu Yi thought he had finally seen it today.

Wu Yi, who was greatly shocked in his heart, subconsciously bowed to Mi Yang.

Seeing that Wu Yi and the others no longer had any objections, Mi Yang turned around and returned to his seat to start writing the warrant.

There is also a basis for Mi Yang's conclusion that Sima Yi would not send troops to attack Hanxing County when Wancheng was in danger.

This is based on Sima Yi's nature.

No matter how well Sima Yi behaves in front of Cao Pi now, he can't hide it from Mi Yang who is a descendant.

Sima Yi is a very selfish person, he is not Zhuge Liang who only thinks about the country.

It is still unknown whether he will send troops to attack Hanxing, but once his army leaves Wancheng, Zhang Fei is fully capable of capturing Wancheng.

Even if Sima Yi successfully captured Hanxing County while Zhang Fei captured Wancheng, so what?

As Wancheng's defense line to defend Luoyang, its significance is not comparable to that of ten Hanxing counties.

When the risky chips are not equal, with Sima Yi's intelligence, he naturally knows how to choose.

Mi Yang quickly wrote two personal letters, and then he quickly handed them to Fa Miao.

"Send my two letters to Xicheng and Xiangyang as quickly as possible."

Fa Miao also knew the importance of this matter. After nodding to Mi Yang with a solemn face, he strode out of the tent with two letters from Mi Yang.

After Fa Miao left, Mi Yang looked at Wu Yi and told him, "Delay Cao Hong for a few more days with words.

As long as you can guarantee that Cao Hong's army has not arrived before Wen Chang's army arrives, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, you will be the first to win this battle in the future! "

After hearing Mi Yang's words, Wu Yi's face straightened.

He bowed deeply to Mi Yang, and then slowly withdrew from the big tent.

Wu Yi was not as good at the overall situation as he was, and he acted decisively to coordinate the handsome talents in several battlefields, but when it came to how to argue with the envoy who recruited him, he was very good at it.

After both Fa Miao and Wu Yi left the big tent, Lu Yi, who was left alone, asked the last question in his mind.

"Cao Zhen's army left Luogu a few days ago, and the movement of the other army is still unknown. If the other army blocks the main road, can General Zhenbei come to Yangping Pass safely?"

Lu Yi's question made Mi Yang look at Lu Yi in surprise.

If Deng Ai was here, Mi Yang would not be surprised if he raised this question.

It can be said that Lu Yi is a person who is good at political strategy. I didn't expect him to have such opinions in military affairs.

What Mi Yang didn't know was that, as the saying goes, people are divided into groups. In history, Lu Yi only lived in the heart of Yizhou to handle political affairs, and of course he had no chance to show his military talents.

And even if Lu Yi has some military talents, if he has not experienced a war environment, any talent will always be just a talent and will not be transformed into a skill.

However, Lu Yi's life trajectory in this life has undergone tremendous changes.

Every day with Mi Yang, the lord with great military exploits, he gradually became enlightened in military affairs, which is quite normal.

Mi Yang had also considered Lu Yi's question just now.

After thinking about it, Mi Yang just replied to Lu Yi: "I believe him."

There are risks in all wars, and if you want to win, you must not be afraid of taking risks.

This is the same attitude of any general in the world.

But the biggest difference between Jiang and Shuai is that when facing risks, Jiang will only think one-sidedly about how to deal with them.

However, when the commander-in-chief of an army faces risks, he will virtually eliminate such risks through strategic planning and overall reasonable human resource allocation from the perspective of the overall situation at his height.

Just as Mi Yang trusted Ma Chao, Mi Yang now also trusts Wei Yan.

Who said that there were no generals in the late Jihan period, didn't Wei Yan?
Mi Yang knew that even if Cao really wanted to block the main roads of Hanzhong with a large army, it would be impossible for the Wei army to completely do this in a few days.

The line of defense laid out within a few days must have a lot of loopholes.

If a few simple blockades can stop Zhuge Liang, the only Marquis of Ten Thousand Households when he was in power, then Mi Yang can only do nothing.

There is no weak general under the strong and handsome. Mi Yang didn't like Wei Yan's character, but he never doubted his ability.

Let's attack, Wei Wenchang.

As Mi Yang judged, with the existence of Hanshui, the messenger who set off from Yangping Pass soon arrived at the Han army camp in Xicheng.

The seat of Hanxing County is not in Xicheng, but in Shangyong.

However, since there is a waterway between Xicheng and Wancheng, Wei Yan previously stationed the army outside Xicheng according to Mi Yang's order.

Thinking about it carefully, it has been several months since Mi Yang's order.

And Wei Yan also led [-] elite Liangzhou troops, waiting in vain for several months in Xicheng.

At the beginning, even if Sima Yi's army did not take any action, Wei Yan knew the importance of his mission in his heart, so Wei Yan was still very motivated.

But with the passage of time, especially after reports of battles against the enemy came from all over Hanzhong one after another, and our own side had remained peaceful here, Wei Yan couldn't sit still.

Ma Chao won two games in a row against the Wei army. Although it was a small victory, it also boosted the morale of many of his own troops.

And although Wu Yi and Mi Yang haven't fought the enemy yet, at least their enemies have already appeared, and there will be battle reports in the near future.

But what about yourself?
Not a single hair of the enemy was seen.

Is it possible that he will be like before, can only quietly watch the friendly army make contributions in the bloody battle, and then miss the great opportunity to make contributions in vain?

Thinking of this, Wei Yan felt as anxious as if countless ants were crawling.

Wei Yan wanted to write a letter to Mi Yang several times, and wanted Mi Yang to transfer him to the front line. The best way was to change the defensive area against Wu Yi.

Frightened by Mi Yang's majesty, Wei Yan never sent out the letter in his hand.

Just when Wei Yan became more and more anxious and was about to be desperate, he learned the news of the arrival of Mi Yang's messenger.

After hearing the news, Wei Yan happily grabbed a few beards.

He didn't believe it, this time it wasn't the news that he was going to fight.

Excited in his heart, Wei Yan quickly received the messenger sent by Mi Yang, and got Mi Yang's letter from the messenger.

Wei Yan couldn't wait to open the letter and read it.

After reading the contents of the letter, Wei Yan was so happy that he almost jumped up.

The content of Mi Yang's letter is not small, but Wei Yan, who is dedicated to fighting, only memorized eight big characters:

"Regardless of everything, help Yangping quickly."

For Wei Yan, these eight characters are enough.

Wei Yan didn't care to arrange for Mi Yang's envoys to rest, so he hastily issued a series of military orders.

Wei Yan's military orders became more and more urgent one after another, which directly urged the soldiers below to cry in pain, and also urged Mi Yang's envoy to frown.

The messenger had to remind:
"When I went east, part of the Wei army had already begun to block the Han River. Even if there are a large number of ships in the west city, it may not be easy for the general to go upstream."

The reminder in the messenger's words was very strong, but after hearing the kind reminder, Wei Yan said disdainfully:

"The enemy's army is sealed off, and I will go there myself."

Has the world forgotten who was the first governor of Hanzhong in this Han Dynasty?
In terms of familiarity with Hanzhong's terrain, would Wei Yan be inferior to others?
Thinking of this, Wei Yan raised his head proudly.

　There is another chapter in the morning.
