Chapter 201 Disturbing the audience Wei Yan frowned
After learning about Mi Yang's sudden attack on the water stronghold above the Han River, Shen Yi was horrified, but at this critical moment of life and death when soldiers were pressing down on the situation, Shen Yi still forced herself to calm down.
He was not in the mood to vent his lust now, so he shouted and told the boys and girls in the hall to get out.
Then he immediately asked his personal guards to summon his officials from the west city to come to the hall to discuss matters.
The boys and girls who were kneeling in the lobby were so frightened that they stood up and left the lobby after hearing Shen Yi's angry shouts and under Shen Yi's lewd force.
But when they left, a trace of joy flashed in their hearts.
The news that seemed like bad news to Shen Yi turned out to be the most wonderful news they had heard this year.
Because this news means that Shen Yi will no longer be able to "favor" them for a long time to come.
At the same time, an idea slowly emerged in their minds. Is the prince mentioned by the Shen Yi clan, the prince Shen Yi fears, the same Mi Yang who defeated the 100,000-strong Jiangdong army?
Mi Yang's reputation is so great that even they have heard about it.
I really hope that Mr. Fu can get rid of the Shen thief!
An emotion called anticipation began to ripple in the hearts of many boys and girls.
And this sentiment will soon spread through the West City through the mouths of these boys and girls.
Under Shen Yi's quick call, not long after, all the county magistrate's officials in Xicheng who could escape from their affairs arrived in the lobby.
When they arrived at the lobby, they saw Shen Yi sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face, as well as several soldiers covered in blood in the lobby.
After seeing this, the Xicheng officials who arrived in the lobby had expressions of surprise and suspicion on their faces.
Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Shen Yi told the Xicheng officials in the hall that Mi Yang suddenly led his army to block the Han River in a low tone.
Although these Xicheng officials all had official positions, they were actually either Shen Yi's tribesmen or Shen Yi's guests.
So they are all Shen Yi's confidants, and Shen Yi has nothing to hide from them.
When these Xicheng officials learned the news, the looks of surprise on their faces turned into looks of horror.
None of you here are fools.
The Han River outside the West City was under the jurisdiction of Chang Shen Yi of the West City, and Mi Yang suddenly sent a large army to seize control there. This was an unscrupulous act.
Mi Yang actually "declared war" on them when they were unprepared.
The word "declaration of war" is very ridiculous, because Mi Yang was the prefect of Hanxing.
Not to mention Mi Yang sending troops to block the Han River, even if Mi Yang sent troops to take a one-day trip to the west city and catch them all and throw them into prison, it was all based on Mi Yang's mood.
But this seemingly ridiculous word appeared naturally in the minds of these officials who had already regarded Xicheng as Shen Yi's private property.
Shen Yi looked at the frightened expressions on the faces of the people present after learning the news, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.
Although he had the same look just now, he summoned these officials to listen to their suggestions, not to see their fearful looks.
Shen Yi asked the officials present in a cold voice: "Now that the Han River channel has been lost, I think the army coming to Mi Yang will arrive under the West City in the near future. Do you have any suggestions to help me overcome this difficulty?"
After asking this question, Shen Yi emphasized: "Today I, Shen Yi, can serve as the mayor of the West City, all of you here are indispensable."
"If I, Shen Yi, are captured by Mi Yang in the end, I am afraid that none of you here will be able to escape Mi Yang's butcher knife.
Therefore, all of you here had better plan for me with all your heart, otherwise the day the city falls will be the day when I die together with you."
Shen Yi used a threatening tone to warn everyone present.
The reason why he did this was because he was afraid that someone would have different intentions.
Everyone here knows that Mi Yang brought 10,000 troops from Chengdu.
Now that Mi Yang dares to "declare war" directly, it means that Mi Yang's 10,000-strong army has been trained.
Coupled with Mi Yang's reputation, that huge reputation and the intimidating power of an army of 10,000, it is easy for some people who are not determined to have some thoughts that they should not have.
Just as Shen Yi was worried, after everyone here learned that Mi Yang was about to arrive with an army, many people had some thoughts in their hearts because of fear.
But their thoughts were quickly suppressed by Shen Yi's threatening words.
They are now on the same boat as Shen Yi. If Shen's ship sinks, their fate will not be much better.
Under the threat of Shen Yi, the heads of everyone present started to work rapidly. Now they should save Shen Yi as well as themselves.
After a long time, a civil servant among the people present came out first to pay homage to Shen Yi:
"County Lord, Qin believes that the top priority is not to let Xicheng fall into the siege of Mi Yang's army."
After waiting for a long time, Shen Yi saw that someone finally came out to speak, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Shen Yi looked at this man and found that he was not from his tribe.
This man's name was Zhao Qin, with the courtesy name Gongmian, and he was from Guanzhong.
Because of the continuous war in Guanzhong, many people from Guanzhong crossed the Ziwu Valley and came to Hanzhong County.
And because Xicheng is right next to Ziwu Valley, many people fled to Xicheng.
Of course, Shen Yi accepted all these benefits from heaven.
Among the many people, there are also many literary people, and Zhao Qin was one of them at the beginning.
Later, in order to continue to control Xicheng, Shen Yi recruited many literary scholars from Guanzhong to become his subordinates. It was at that time that Zhao Qin entered Shen Yi's county government.
In Shen Yi's impression, Zhao Qin has been as diligent and hard-working as his name suggests since he joined his county government, and there is nothing outstanding about him other than that.
Unexpectedly, he was the first to speak out.
After listening to Zhao Mian's words, Shen Yi's face immediately showed a look of expectation, and Shen Yi signaled Zhao Qin to continue.
Under Shen Yi's signal, Zhao Qin continued to speak: "Mi Yang came from a famous family and grew up in Chengdu, so he must be well aware of the principle that a teacher must be famous."
"Mi Yang was able to unexpectedly swim upstream, which proves that Shangyong Chang may have encountered something unexpected."
"Although he is sending troops now with the honor of being the king of the mansion, Shangyong Chang is a prince, and his status is different from that of an ordinary county magistrate. If Mi Yang wants to stop Yuyou's mouth, he will definitely write a letter to the king to explain."
"Mi Yang's army is already in trouble. If the king listens to Mi Yang's words and sends reinforcements to support Mi Yang after hearing the news, then the West City will be in danger. How about there is General Zhenyuan on the side of the West City?"
"Compared to Shangyong, Xicheng is closer to Chengdu and closer to Hanzhong.
Therefore, Qin Qin suggested to the county king that he should immediately write to the king in handwriting to explain Mi Yang's crime of killing Yuan Xianghou without authorization.
In this way, even after the king receives Mi Yang's letter, because the king is far away in Chengdu and does not understand the true situation of the county, he will not send reinforcements without hesitation."
"After submitting a letter to the king, the county prince can, in the name of the mayor of the west city, send a document accusing Mi Yang of his atrocities to General Zhenyuan of Hanzhong County and the nearby counties.
This will disturb the thinking of surrounding counties and counties, making them unable to cooperate with Mi Yang immediately and launch an encirclement of Xicheng."
After listening to Zhao Mian's advice, Shen Yi's face showed a hint of joy.
Although Zhao Mian's method cannot cure the root cause, it can still buy him some breathing time.
As long as it can buy enough time for itself, and as long as Xicheng does not fall in a short period of time, Shen Yi can send a messenger to contact Cao Ren downstream of the Han River.
As long as Cao Ren can send troops to rescue him, things will turn around.
After getting the good advice, Shen Yi immediately did what Zhao Qin said.
He quickly wrote several documents himself and then sent his trusted associates to send them to various places.
Finally, Shen Yi summoned a group of clan soldiers and handed his handwritten letter to Cao Ren into their hands. Shen Yi told the group of clan soldiers to deliver the letter to Cao Ren in Wancheng as soon as possible.
This is Shen Yi’s only life-saving straw at the moment!
Although the Han River from Xicheng to Nanyang has been blocked by Zhang Yi and his army.
However, Hanxing County is crisscrossed by rivers and densely covered with mountains and forests, and the Han River is not the only secret road leading from Xicheng to Nanyang for a few people to walk.
Under Shen Yi's heavy instructions, the team of Shen clan soldiers hurriedly ran out of the county government after taking Shen Yi's handwritten letter.
Seeing the retreating figures of the Shen clan soldiers, Shen Yi felt a little calmer.
The next thing he has to do is to guard the west city and wait for the arrival of Cao Ren's reinforcements.
In the early morning of the second day after Zhang Yi blocked the Han River, a naval fleet of thousands of people began to appear on the Han River outside Xicheng.
It was Mi Yang who arrived with his army.
In the early morning of the second day after taking Shangyong City, Mi Yang left two thousand troops and horses for Meng Da to stay at Shangyong.
And he personally led the remaining five thousand troops and marched quickly towards the West City.
Shangyong City was initially settled, but people's hearts were still unstable, so two thousand troops were left for Mengda to prevent changes in Shangyong City.
After marching for a day and a night, he finally led the army to the outside of the West City.
After receiving the news of Mi Yang's arrival, Zhang Yi left a thousand troops to Lu Yi, and then he personally led two thousand troops to join Mi Yang.
All the water fortresses on the Han River were built by Shen Yi in dangerous places.
Therefore, even if Cao Ren led an army to attack fiercely, the thousand troops left to Lu Yi would still be enough to defend the water stronghold for a period of time.
During that time, Mi Yang outside the West City can dispatch reinforcements for rescue.
Having the control over the Han River, it has an unparalleled advantage in terms of marching speed.
After Zhang Yi led an army of two thousand to join Mi Yang, the total strength of Mi Yang's army outside the west city reached eight thousand.
The number of Shenyi soldiers in the West City is at least three thousand.
Just looking at the comparison of military strength, it seems that Mi Yang's army has no advantage.
After all, there is a saying in the art of war: Therefore, the method of using troops is to surround it with ten, attack it with five, divide it with twice the enemy. If the enemy is small, you can fight it, if it is small, you can defend it, if it is small, you can avoid it.
But Sun Wu's words are not as understood by most people. Once a city is attacked, ten times the force must be used.
This sentence by Sun Wu comes from "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Planning for Attack". The meaning of this sentence is to remind the generals to know themselves and their enemies, assess the situation, and adopt flexible strategies and tactics.
For example, if your strength is ten times that of the opponent, then you can find a way to surround and annihilate all the enemies. If your strength is five times that of your opponent, then you can attack the enemy.
Siege warfare is not an easy task in today's world, but the victory or defeat between siege and defense is not determined solely by the number of troops. There are also many factors, such as military morale, strategy, and the city's defense situation, etc.
.
For example, in the Battle of Xiangfan that occurred not long ago, Guan Yu's troops were not very large, and the original defenders in the two cities of Xiangfan were not small either.
But as long as Guan Yu uses his strategy correctly, Cao Ren will be beaten to the point of losing his temper.
After Mi Yang's army arrived in Xicheng, Shen Yi in Xicheng quickly learned the news.
Looking at Mi Yang's army with high morale and solemn appearance on the warships not far outside the city, Shen Yi's heart began to feel uneasy again.
If these wolf-like and tiger-like troops rushed into the city, then Shen Yi would be dead.
Under the threat of Mi Yang's army, Shen Yi quickly issued orders one after another to cheer up the clan soldiers on the city wall in case Mi Yang led his army to raid the city wall.
Mi Yang, who was on the boat, looked at the West City not far away. In his eyes, the West City in front of him seemed very crude.
Whether it is the moat outside the city or the height of the city wall, they are far inferior to the police.
At this time, Zhang Yi came to Mi Yang and reported all his previous arrangements to Mi Yang.
After listening to Zhang Ni's plan to mislead the enemy, Mi Yang happily patted Zhang Ni on the shoulder and said, "It's people like Bo Qi who are praised!"
The phrase "danshi crawls, Keqi Keyi" comes from "Daya·Shengmin" in the Book of Songs.
This sentence was originally a compliment to Hou Ji for his intelligence when he was young, but later it was gradually extended to praise a person for his intelligence.
Zhang Yi's name and characters happen to have two characters, Qi and Yi, so Mi Yang's praise of Zhang Ni is very appropriate.
Mi Yang's praise sounded very pleasant to Zhang Yi's ears. After all, it was an affirmation from a famous general in the world.
Mi Yang's judgment of Cao Ren was similar to Zhang Yi's, and at the same time Mi Yang had another inference in his mind.
Now Cao Pi should be busy with the affairs of replacing the Han Dynasty. In this case, what Cao Pi wants is stability.
And Cao Ren is currently the top general of the Cao clan, so Cao Pi's intention to replace Han must have been frustrated with Cao Ren in advance.
Knowing Cao Pi's intentions, Cao Ren would not easily send troops unless he was sure of victory.
After praising Zhang Yi, Mi Yang looked at the wooden railings on the bank of the Han River guarding the West City. Mi Yang ordered Ding Feng beside him to call Deng Ai and Ding Feng.
If he remembered correctly, one of the fortresses that blocked the reinforcements of the Han army that supported Mengda in history was this wooden gate.
Shortly after Mi Yang led his army to the outside of Xicheng, Wei Yan in Hanzhong was the first to receive Shen Yi's documents.
After seeing Shen Yi's documents, the majestic Wei Yan frowned deeply.
