Mi Han

Although Cao Hong did not take Qishan, the Han army stationed at Qishan suffered a lot of losses under his fierce offensive before.

The troops in Shi Bao's hands were not many, and under repeated consumption, it was even more difficult to lead the army out of the barracks to fight in the field.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Hong led most of the Wei army to the outside of the Jiange after leaving thousands of soldiers and horses to cover the main road.

Cao Hong's self-confidence was not groundless, he was able to beat Qi Shan's Han army out of the barracks, which was considered a victory in a sense, right?

Although Cao Hong was able to do this, most of them relied on his superior military strength and sharp siege weapons.

The reason why Cao Hong came up with the idea of ​​suddenly taking down the Jiange is also because he knows that there are not many defenders in the Jiange.

Naturally, Cao Hong knew about the perfect city defense of Jiange.

But if the defenders of Jiange are not many, then it is not impossible for him to give it a try.

It's just that Cao Hong was a little more careful because of the lessons learned from Yangping Pass.

Cao Hong found Yang Fu and told him what was on his mind.

Since Yang Fu learned that Cao Zhen was injured, he has always been uneasy because of his sensitive nature, so after hearing Cao Hong's idea, after thinking about it in every possible way, he agreed with Cao Hong's idea.

It is a fact that the defenders in the Jiange are not strong enough, and the defenders of the Jiange are not well-known generals in Ji Han's side. These two points are the basis for Yang Fu to agree with Cao Hong.

But the reason why Yang Fu agreed with Cao Hong was also because of his self-doubt.

Even if Cao Zhen turned his anger on him because of the Yangpingguan incident, Yang Fu still knew Cao Zhen very well. Cao Zhen was a very magnanimous person in some respects.

When today's son Cao Pi was the prince, he had four friends, one of whom was named Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi has an aloof personality, because Cao Zhen is obese, Wu Zhi has humiliated Cao Zhen many times in the past.

Cao Zhen gritted his teeth angrily every time.

But Cao Zhen didn't treat Wu Zhi differently. It's not that Cao Zhen doesn't want to, nor is it that Cao Zhen doesn't have the ability to do such a thing.

The reason why Cao Zhen has not attacked Wu Zhi is because Wu Zhi can help Cao Pi seize the heir apparent. For those who are useful, Cao Zhen has never been stingy with his warmth and tolerance.

And whether it is useful, isn't it judged by merit?

As long as he can assist Cao Hong to win the Jiange, it will be a great achievement, and Cao Zhen will definitely forgive him.

And even if Cao Hong didn't capture the Jiange, with the strength of the Wei army, as long as they don't fall for the enemy's tricks, there will be no big losses.

That being the case, why not give it a try?

Although Cao Hong didn't know why Yang Fu turned his sexuality to support him, he was very happy to have Yang Fu's support.

Although he didn't like Yang Fu, Yang Fu was considered a wise man. He agreed with his siege plan, which meant that the plan to capture Jiange had merit.

Cao Hong is not a procrastination person, he just does what he says.

On the day the leading army arrived outside the Jiange, Cao Hong ordered to speed up the construction and installation of corresponding siege equipment.

And in order to make his army look more deterrent, and in order to completely block the passage of the Han army from Jiange to support Hanzhong, Cao Hong ordered the whole army to camp along the mountain road for several miles.

When tens of thousands of Wei troops started camping outside the Jiange, their actions naturally couldn't hide Liu Feng inside the Jiange.

Liu Feng has not been idle these days.

After removing the original guard of the Jiange by means of thunder, Liu Feng completely controlled the entire Jiange.

Then Liu Feng immediately sent someone to seriously examine how many soldiers were still in the Jiange.

It's okay if you don't review carefully. After careful review, Liu Feng really wants to kill the original guard of Jiange again.

It is recorded in the book that there are [-] Jiange defenders, but the actual number reported by the cronies, after deducting the old, weak and short positions, is less than [-]!
Nearly one-fifth of the sergeants were falsely reported by the Jiange guards!
How could this not make Liu Feng angry?
But anger is anger, and Liu Feng can only accept this fact helplessly.

There is good news, though.

Although the former guard of the Jiange falsely reported the existence of many sergeants because of his own desire, the real soldiers were all the elite soldiers Liu Bei left in the Jiange.

This is also normal, there are corrupt officials in any dynasty.

However, in the initial period of a dynasty, it is impossible to say that corruption will cause the sergeants in a strategic location to be full of money.

This made Liu Feng feel a little comforted.

But just when Liu Feng's mood improved, he received the news that Cao Hong led the army to arrive.

After learning the news, Liu Feng hurriedly put down the new books he had just sorted out, and followed the deputy general to the top of the Jiange city to observe the movement of Wei Jun.

After Liu Feng reached the city wall, Wei Jun had already started to build a barracks along the mountain road under Cao Hong's order.

Nearly 10 people (plus auxiliary soldiers) felled trees and built camps on the mountain road, causing dust all over the sky.

And the sky full of wind and dust stretches for several miles at a glance, which proves from the side how vast Wei Jun's camp will be in the future.

After realizing this, not only the Han army on the city wall, but even Liu Feng's face was very solemn.

He didn't expect Cao Hong to come so soon.

Although Liu Feng knew from previous information that Cao Hong only had [-] Wei troops at most, but that was only the number of regular soldiers.

Liu Feng has often fought against the Wei army since he was an adult, and he knows the Wei army's organizational system very well.

According to Cao Cao's plan before his death, a leading soldier of the Wei army would often be paired with about three auxiliary soldiers, but if it was an elite Wei army's middle army, the corresponding number of auxiliary soldiers would reach five.

So Cao Hong can use at least [-] troops to attack the city in the future.

Historically, the act of siege and auxiliary soldiers can also be completed.

One hundred thousand against four thousand, even though he has the strong city of Jiange as his backing, even though Liu Feng has fought many vicious battles, he still couldn't help but whisper in his heart.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng walked down the city wall with a solemn face.

He didn't express the inference in his heart, which would only cause further shocks in the hearts of the people in the pass.

After Liu Feng returned to the big tent in the pass, he began to think about countermeasures.

Although Liu Feng experienced many wars in the first half of his life, he was Liu Bei's stepson when Liu Bei was in Xinye.

He really led the army for the first time when Liu Bei occupied Jiangxia.

That year was the period of the Chibi War. From then on, Liu Feng either followed Liu Bei or led the army alone, and he always took on the combat mission of attacking.

And most of those combat missions are not too dangerous to be honest, and they are more of Liu Bei's experience with Liu Feng.

As for the drudgery of defending the city, Liu Feng had never experienced it before.

He really has no experience in defending the city.

But thinking of Liu Bei's entrustment to him, Liu Feng never flinched in his heart.

Liu Feng has been thinking about the strategy of defeating the enemy.

Although a large part of Liu Feng's combat achievements in the first half of his life was due to Liu Bei's training, it has to be said that Liu Bei, who knows people and is good at responsibility, can spend a lot of effort to train Liu Feng, which shows that Liu Feng's talent for war is not as good as his own. not bad.

And Liu Feng is also a very good at learning.

When Liu Feng was thinking about the strategy to defeat the enemy, he couldn't help but think of the most famous city defense battle in the world in recent years-the Battle of Public Security.

Not to mention in recent years, the Battle of Public Security has been an extremely successful and well-known example of defending the city and counterattacking in the world of decades of endless wars, and this battle has an extremely important impact on the current situation.

The First Battle of Public Security severely damaged Jiangdong's vitality, and he could not recover his vitality within several years.

The greatest significance of this battle is that it allowed Jiangdong Sun Quan to pay tribute to the great Han from then on, completely establishing a three-point structure in the world, and also allowing the great Han to concentrate all their energy on dealing with the powerful enemy Cao Wei in the north.

It can be said that without this battle, Dahan would not have won the next Xicheng and Xiangfan battles.

Since this battle happened, when the generals of the world are defending the city, they can't help thinking about this battle and thinking about what they can learn from it.

Liu Feng was no exception.

And as Liu Bei's son, he is also better able to know the whole story before and after the policeman.

After recalling all the details of the Battle of Public Security, Liu Feng quickly got inspiration from it.

How did Mi Yang fight the public security war in the first place?
At that time, Lu Meng first sent Jiangdong general Sun Huan as a vanguard to go to the public security, but at that time Mi Yang decided to lead the army out of the city to meet Sun Huan's troops.

According to Guan Ping's later narration, Mi Yang's purpose in doing so was in one sentence - to defend the city, so as to defend the people's hearts.

What happened later also fully proved Mi Yang's judgment.

After defeating Sun Huan's troops, the police's morale was greatly boosted, and it provided a solid foundation for resisting the Wu army for several months in the future.

The current situation facing Jiange is different from that faced by the police back then, but one thing is the same.

After the arrival of tens of thousands of Wei troops led by Cao Hong, Jiange's military spirit was obviously greatly fluctuated.

If there is no way to boost the morale of the army in the Jiange as soon as possible, then the Jiange will not be able to defend for a long time.

As for the current Liu Feng, is it possible to take the initiative to attack Wei Jun and win?

It is possible.

Perhaps Cao Hong is a veteran general, and he would not make the fatal mistake of underestimating the enemy like the young Sun Huan, but now Cao Hong's army is in the process of setting up camp.

There are a lot of Wei troops, but the more they are, the more time it will take for them to set up camp in the narrow mountain road.

During this period of time, most of the Wei army will be in a state of chaotic formation.

This is Liu Feng's opportunity.

Excellent generals will be good at learning excellent battle examples, but learning is by no means blindly imitating!

After thinking of this, Liu Feng's spirit began to cheer up.

He is not good at defending, but soldiers are impermanent, why must he be obsessed with defending the city?

Energized, Liu Feng had someone summon his confidants and generals, and began to discuss the next battle plan in detail.

Just when the battle situation in Hanzhong showed that the Han and Wei armies were confronting each other, Jiang Wei, who had just arrived outside Yinping County with the army, also received two letters unexpectedly.

After many days of recuperation, Jiang Wei's leg injury has healed, which allows him to join the army again and make contributions.

But as soon as Jiang Wei arrived outside Yinping County, he received a letter from Yang Fu.

This was the first time Yang Fu contacted Jiang Wei after leaving Chencang.

Jiang Wei still attaches great importance to the letter from his benefactor.

When he opened Yang Fu's letter and read it, he found that there was nothing unusual in the letter. In the letter, Yang Fu just told him to follow Guo Huai to make meritorious deeds and strive for Guo Huai's appreciation.

The reason why Yang Fu wrote this letter was because of his self-doubt.

People under self-doubt will inevitably want to find allies, and Guo Huai is the best ally in Yang Fu's heart.

Yang Fu asked Jiang Wei to strive for meritorious service. On the one hand, it was for Jiang Wei's good, and on the other hand, it was to let Guo Huai continue to appreciate Jiang Wei, and it was best to make Jiang Wei his confidant.

In this way, even if Cao Zhen wanted to punish him in the future, Guo Huai would still speak well of him in front of Cao Zhen by virtue of his ties with Jiang Wei.

Of course, Jiang Wei didn't know the reason why Yang Fu wrote this letter. He only thought that Yang Fu simply told him to do more service for the Great Wei, so Jiang Wei deeply remembered Yang Fu's advice.

If Yang Fu's letter was unexpected and reasonable, the second letter Jiang Wei received surprised him.

This letter came from Yangping Pass, and it was written by Mi Yang himself to Jiang Wei.

After Jiang Wei learned that Mi Yang had sent him a letter, he was in a daze.

Although the ambitious Jiang Wei secretly regards Mi Yang as his opponent in his heart, but on the surface Mi Yang and his status and prestige are as different as cloud and mud. Jiang Wei really can't imagine why Mi Yang suddenly wrote this letter to he.

The moment he received Mi Yang's letter, Jiang Wei couldn't help but have an idea in his mind:
"Does Han Bailu actually know that there are young Lin in the world?"

In addition to doubts and surprises, Jiang Wei also had secret joy and excitement in his heart.

Given Mi Yang's status, wouldn't it be a great honor to get a letter from such a person?
With complicated emotions, Jiang Wei opened Mi Yang's letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Jiang Wei learned the reason why Mi Yang wrote this letter—it turned out that after the battle with Ma Chao, Ma Chao specially informed Mi Yang of his existence because of his appreciation.

After Mi Yang learned that he could be appreciated by Ma Chao, and that his father died fighting to protect the land of the Han Dynasty, he moved his mind to write a letter to make friends with him.

Although Mi Yang's reason was not so tenable, Jiang Wei finally chose to believe it.

After all, the people in Ji Hanzhong are a group of people full of ideals, and it is normal for them to have a good impression of the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.

Just like when Liu Bei chose Liu Feng as his stepson, a large part of the reason was that he valued Liu Feng as the queen of loyalty.

Otherwise, there are so many clan relatives in the Han Dynasty in the world, why would Liu Bei choose a person with a foreign surname as his stepson?

Liu Bei always behaved unexpectedly like this, and it was extremely normal for Mi Yang, his disciple, to behave similarly.

Besides, if it wasn't for this reason, why would Mi Yang suddenly write to him?
Could it be that she wanted to do everything possible to win him over?
This is undoubtedly a joke.

Although Jiang Wei is proud, he is not arrogant.

The identity gap between him and Mi Yang is too great, the person who can make Mi Yang tempted to win him over should at least be at Guo Huai's level.

For a well-known talent like him, Yizhou has eight hundred if not one thousand. Mi Yang has no reason to value him so much.

After getting rid of the suspicion in his heart, Jiang Wei began to write a reply letter to Mi Yang.

In today's world, etiquette is extremely important. If a big man like Mi Yang suddenly wrote a letter, Jiang Wei had to write back a letter to express his gratitude no matter what.

Observing etiquette is the most basic conduct for a child of an aristocratic family.

But what Jiang Wei didn't know was that Guo Huai already knew about Mi Yang's letter to him before his reply was sent.

Maybe it was God's favor for the big man. When Mi Yang's letter arrived, Yang Fu's letter also arrived in the past few days.

Guo Huai narrowed his eyes after learning that both Yang Fu and Mi Yang delivered letters to Jiang Wei within a short period of time.

He never believed in coincidence.
