Mi Han

Chapter 481
Without Wei Jun's obstruction, Mi Yang arrived at the city of Nanzheng within a few days.

The smooth journey along the way made Fa Miao, Wei Yan and others heaved a sigh of relief.

Originally, they all thought that Wei Jun would send someone to stop them after learning the news.

Turns out they were just worrying for nothing.

But compared to the luck of Fa Miao, Wei Yan and others, Mi Yang's mood is not at all relaxed.

In fact, if Mi Yang had a choice, he would rather Wei Jun send troops to stop him.

Because the Wei army is now scattered among the counties in Hanzhong, even if Cao Zhen hates him for a while, there is no way to send out too many troops at once.

What's more, Xingshi City is still firmly under the control of the Han army. Under such circumstances, it is even more impossible for Cao Zhen to send all the Wei army to stop him.

Not far from Xingshi City, there are Xiegu and Luogu, and these two places are the two most important grain and grass bases of the Wei army.

As long as the Wei army does not chase and intercept him with an absolutely superior force, Mi Yang can rely on his familiarity with the terrain of Hanzhong to defeat each Wei army sent by Cao Zhen one by one.

This will not only further damage the morale of the Wei army, but also fundamentally weaken the strength of the Wei army.

But what Mi Yang didn't expect was that Cao Zhen didn't seem to know that he led the army to Nanzheng.

From the intelligence returned by the scouts, it can be seen that the actions of the Wei army in the past few days have not been abnormal-those who attacked the city continued to attack the city, and those who besieged the city continued to besiege the city.

Mi Yang didn't think that Cao Zhen didn't know that he led the army to set off from Yangping Pass. Since Cao Zhen knew that he still adopted this strategy, it meant that Cao Zhen had seen through his intentions and adopted the method of holding back the troops.

This kind of result is the most unacceptable for Mi Yang.

The current battle situation he is facing is similar to what Zhuge Liang faced during the Northern Expedition in history.

In history, during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he actually won many battles against the Wei army, but why couldn't the Han army take Chang'an for so long?

A very important reason is that the vital forces of the Wei army were not massacred by the Han army.

To Ji Han, tens of thousands of people died in a battle, it was a traumatic thing, but it was nothing to Wei Jun.

In the Battle of Shiting in history, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties, but within a few years, the Wei army was like a normal person, and was able to organize large-scale military activities. This is only the case of Cao Wei's war zone.

For Cao Wei, as long as the two most important military forces, the Chinese army and the foreign army, do not suffer heavy losses, they can afford the tens of thousands of casualties of the Junzhou and county soldiers.

The reason why Zhuge Liang in history could not effectively kill Cao Wei's effective military power was not because of Zhuge Liang's military talent, but because Wei Jun's strategy was too targeted.

Zhuge Liang's ingenuity is unparalleled, and the Han army is hard to beat, so I won't fight you.

Offense is not an opponent, but in terms of defense, it is definitely a very simple matter for Cao Wei, who is backed by a strong national power.

And relying on Cao Wei's strong national power, as long as he defends for a period of time, no matter how defiant Zhuge Liang's military ability is, he will have no choice but to retreat in the end.

The gap in national strength cannot be easily reversed by one person alone.

The Wei army in Hanzhong is currently adopting a similar combat method.

Cao Zhen knew that Mi Yang wanted to find a fighter to win the battle, and then continue to weaken the strength of Wei Jun, so he didn't follow Mi Yang's idea.

As long as he doesn't give Mi Yang a chance to defeat them one by one, it is impossible for Mi Yang to take the initiative to find most of the Wei army for a decisive battle with a limited force.

In the end, the Han army and the Wei army could only continue to form a seesaw situation on the whole.

In this process, the city of Hanzhong will continue to fall, and the morale of the Han army will continue to decline. The most frightening thing is that the food and grass of the Han army will be consumed in wasting time and there will be very little left.

Once that day comes, perhaps the Han army will be defeated without the Wei army's onslaught.

This is what Mi Yang is most worried about.

But even if Mi Yang saw Wei Jun's intentions, the uncomfortable thing was that he, like Zhuge Liang in history, had no effective solution.

I have to say that Wei Jun's move is very clever.

While relaxing, Fa Miao saw Mi Yang's serious face, and as a sunflower, he immediately asked Mi Yang:

"Why is the general so worried?"

Even though Mi Yang is only a general now, Mi Yang's confidants have already begun to respect Mi Yang as a general.

Facing Fa Miao's inquiry, Mi Yang did not respond positively.

He just ordered: "The order is passed on, the whole army is not allowed to enter the city, and camp outside the city."

Hearing Mi Yang's order, Fa Miao was a little puzzled.

At present, the Wei army has not yet attacked Nanzheng, and the construction of the camp is not ready for a while. Why did Mi Yang prevent the army from entering the city and set up camp outside the city in a hurry?
Mi Yang saw Fa Miao's doubts, not only Fa Miao, Wei Yan, Lu Yi and others were also puzzled.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Mi Yang said: "Within half a month, Nanzheng will definitely be besieged by tens of thousands of bandits."

After saying this, Mi Yang took the lead to set an example.

He didn't go into the city to visit Guan Yan and Xiao Mi Cheng, but started working in the temporary tent outside the city.

Seeing that Mi Yang did this, even though Fa Miao and the others could not understand why Mi Yang made that inference, they still faithfully carried out Mi Yang's order.

Fa Miao and others didn't know what Wei Jun would do next, but Mi Yang knew very well.

Wei Jun wants to catch deer in the urn.

As Mi Yang led his army back to Nanzheng City, a team also came to the Jiange hundreds of miles away from Nancheng.

The leader of this team was Liu Feng who had just been released by Liu Bei.

Some time ago, Liu Bei released Liu Feng from the claustrophobia on the grounds of letting Liu Feng redeem his crimes, and worshiped him as the general who fought against the bandits.

Although Liu Bei's move to release Liu Feng caused some criticism from the ruling and opposition parties, due to Liu Bei's prestige and the special relationship between him and Liu Feng, no minister dared to directly write a letter against this matter without opening his eyes.

Of course, Liu Bei has also learned a lot from the experience, and he did not let Liu Feng serve as the easily reminiscent military position of deputy general.

Among the miscellaneous generals, the generals who fight against Kou are considered to be of a lower level.

Liu Feng didn't mind that Liu Bei didn't give him too low a military rank, and Liu Feng was already satisfied with being able to come back to fight for Liu Bei.

So after packing his bags, Liu Feng headed towards Jiange with hundreds of songs and Liu Bei's edict.

In Liu Bei's arrangement, he arranged Liu Feng as the guard of Jiange.

Jiange guards the passage between Hanzhong and Yizhou, especially in this critical period, Jiange can be called the life gate of Yizhou.

Due to the importance of the Jiange, the Jiange guard must be a courageous and resourceful person, and he must also have unswerving loyalty to Liu Bei.

Looking at the current generals in Chengdu, Liu Feng is very suitable to be the guard of the Jiange from all aspects.

Of course, Liu Feng also understood Liu Bei's painstaking efforts in arranging him to be the guard of the Jiange, so on the first day after arriving at the Jiange, Liu Feng, who had revealed his identity, began to inspect the city defense of the Jiange.

Jiange has been the throat pass of Yizhou for hundreds of years, and the city defenses have been renovated by successive generations of Yizhou pastoralists, so it is quite perfect.

But it is not enough to have a dangerous city defense. To defend this dangerous pass, corresponding troops are also necessary.

After Liu Feng inspected the city defense of Jiange, he immediately asked the original guard in the pass to submit his army register.

After reading the roster of Jiange sergeants, Liu Feng's face gradually became serious.

Currently in the Jiange, there are five thousand defenders.

But the important thing is, some of these five thousand are old and weak people. Can old and weak people fight?

For the original Jiange guards, they are only guarding the city anyway, and of course the old and weak can use them.

But for Liu Feng, who has a strong personality, the old and weak are not worthy of accepting his command at all.

At this time Liu Feng thought of Mi Yang.

Liu Feng knew Mi Yang before. After all, Mi Yang often followed Liu Bei to listen to his teachings when he was young.

But because the relationship between Liu Feng and Yuan Congxi is very bad, and Mi Yang has always been good to Liu Chan, so the relationship between Liu Feng and Mi Yang is not good.

Later, in the 25th year of Jian'an, Liu Feng was taken back to Chengdu and imprisoned by Liu Bei. That year happened to be the time when Mi Yang became famous in the world for the first time.

Therefore, before Liu Feng was imprisoned, he had heard of Mi Yang's deeds and reputation.

After first hearing about Mi Yang's victory over the police, Liu Feng couldn't help but admire Mi Yang's dazzling performance in the first battle of the police, even if he had a bad relationship with Mi Yang.

It was also that battle, before Liu Feng was imprisoned, he refreshed Liu Feng's understanding of Mi Yang.

And some time ago, when Liu Feng knew that Mi Yang was worshiped by Liu Bei as the general of the line and would become his supreme commander, he also heard more about Mi Yang's deeds in recent years.

It's okay if you don't listen, but the more you listen to Liu Feng, the more incredible you feel.

But the unbelievable is unbelievable, and Liu Feng, who has a strong personality, will not resist Mi Yang's performance because of a bad relationship.

Even though Liu Feng had opinions on Guan Yu back then, he still admired his ability.

When his own interests are not infringed, Liu Feng has no reluctance in his heart to Mi Yang, who has made great achievements in the war, to become his commander.

The reason why Liu Feng thought of Mi Yang at this time was because he knew that if Jiange was under Mi Yang's jurisdiction, with his ability and style, he would never let Jiange become what it is today.

On the surface, the soldiers in the Jiange only have the problem of being old and weak, but Liu Feng has been in the army for many years, and he can see from the books in his hand that there may be a serious shortage of pay in the Jiange.

This is an intuition and experience developed over the years in the army.

But Liu Feng didn't explode on the spot.

On the contrary, he showed a normal look on his face, and agreed to the banquet tonight from the former Jiange guard.

When night fell, Liu Feng attended the banquet as scheduled.

Because of Liu Feng's unusual status, Jiangeyuan guarded the banquet as vividly as possible - fine wine and food, singers and dancers.

After all, regardless of whether Liu Feng lost in the battle for the heir apparent, he is still Liu Bei's eldest son in name, and from Liu Bei's reuse of Liu Feng, it can be seen that Liu Bei has feelings for Liu Feng.

This is enough for an ordinary official to be courteous to Liu Feng.

In addition, in order to flatter Liu Feng, the former guard of Jiange also prepared a lot of gold and silver to give to Liu Feng at the banquet.

The coldness in Liu Feng's eyes became more and more cold for the courteous actions of the former guard of Jiange.

He knew that the original guard of the Jiange did this, on the one hand, he wanted to flatter his identity, and on the other hand, why didn't he want to settle some troubles with gold and silver?

Perhaps that was what the former guard of Jiange did when the imperial court had envoys to inspect it.

But the former guard of the Jiange didn't know that Liu Feng had already murdered in his heart.

Finally, when the banquet was halfway through, Liu Feng discovered that one of his cronies had returned quietly. After the cronies whispered to him what he had investigated, Liu Feng couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore.

Angrily, he drew out the long sword at his waist and split the food table in front of him in half with one sword. Following Liu Feng's move, the hundreds of songs he brought also ran in from outside the hall immediately, smashing the food table in front of him. The people inside were surrounded.

This sudden scene greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone present.

Since today is a banquet for Liu Feng, of course they will not be on guard against Liu Feng.

After seeing his cronies controlling the audience, Liu Feng immediately asked the cronies to read out the situation he had investigated, or the crime of the former guard of the Jiange's vacancies.

The behavior of eating empty wages in this world is very rough, not to mention the current world, but in the Ming and Qing Dynasties a thousand years later, the behavior of eating empty wages is also quite straightforward.

The key to empty pay is not how clever the people who eat empty pay are, the key is only in the mutual protection of officials.

But if someone really wants to investigate, then the behavior of eating empty pay cannot be hidden at all.

Seeing that his crime was read out in public, and seeing that the situation in the hall was under Liu Feng's control, the former guard of Jiange immediately knelt down in fright and begged Liu Feng for mercy.

But Liu Feng didn't care about the crying of the former guard of Jiange.

He knows how badly the behavior of eating empty pay will have a bad impact on the army, and he also knows what kind of risk Liu Bei in Chengdu will suffer once the interior of the Jiange is corrupted.

Is the former guard of the Jiange just eating money?

He is killing his father!

The cold-faced Liu Feng didn't hesitate at all, he first threw the gold, silver and jewels given to him by the former guard of the Jiange to the ground in public:
"The country is about to perish, what's the use of these!"

After saying this, Liu Feng killed the former guard of Jiange with a single sword.

Afterwards, Liu Feng, who still felt unrelieved, ordered to hang the corpse of the former guard of Jiange on the gate of Jiange as a warning.

After issuing this military order, Liu Feng looked at the other generals who had been scared out of their wits by him, and said sharply:
"After today, if there is another Xiaoxiao who intends to disrupt our army, I will kill one by one."

Liu Feng's words, coupled with his stern face, immediately made other people in the hall rush to pay homage to him.

At this moment, everyone in the hall gradually recalled the evaluation of the deputy general in the Han army a few years ago:
"It's as fierce as a tiger, and it's hard for ordinary people to control!"

But no matter how aggressive Liu Feng's behavior was, his behavior did provide great convenience for him to sort out the interior of Jiange next.

While Liu Feng was sorting out the interior of the Jiange, Wei Hussar General Cao Hong led an army of tens of thousands to the outside of the Jiange.

Looking at the checkpoint in front of him, Cao Hong naturally came up with an idea:
Yangpingguan is not easy to get, Jiange can always give it a try!

Hong Zhi is confident and always comes so unexpectedly.
