Chapter 394 Han has a white deer and Wei has a Youlin
After understanding Zhuge Liang's intention, Mi Yang was not surprised.
Nanzhong has always been a concern of modern Han Dynasty.
It is true that in recent years, due to the Han's continuous victory in foreign operations, Nanzhong has always seemed to be quite peaceful.
It’s just that all knowledgeable people among the Han people know that Nanzhong’s peace is only temporary.
Because as early as when Liu Yan ruled Yizhou, the four Nanzhong counties had been nominally subordinate to Yizhou.
But in fact, from all aspects, the four counties of Nanzhong can be regarded as an independent local separatist force.
For this reason, the conflict between Dahan and Nanzhong is irreconcilable, and sooner or later a war will break out between the two.
This war may be delayed due to various external reasons, but at a sensitive time, this war will definitely take place.
And now that sensitive time has arrived.
When Mi Yang was young, he heard Liu Bei say that the Yizhou family and the local forces in Nanzhong were essentially related to each other.
The Yizhou family used its financial ability to support the local forces in Nanzhong from time to time, allowing them to continue to grow in the past days.
In this case, the Yizhou family can rely on the local forces in Nanzhong as foreign aid to make those in power fear them.
And thus created a powerful armed force to protect their privileges in Yizhou.
With this inseparable connection, when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang decided to launch a purge of the Yizhou family, the local forces in Nanzhong would not sit idly by and ignore it.
Historically, after Liu Bei's defeat at Yiling, Nanzhong began to raise a rebellion flag. This was not because the local forces in Nanzhong wanted to overthrow Liu Bei's regime.
In other words, this is not the main reason why they raised the flag of rebellion.
Historically, the turmoil in South China lasted for several years and was once very powerful.
However, during those years, the rebels in Nanzhong rarely invaded the hinterland of Yizhou. If they really wanted to overthrow Ji Han's regime, Meng Huo and other rebel leaders would not do so.
Therefore, it can be inferred from all aspects that the historical turmoil in Nanzhong was probably a power-seizing trick launched by the Yizhou Family Alliance and the alien tribes in Nanzhong.
After all, after the Nanzhong turmoil broke out, whether it was war or peace, Zhuge Liang's best way was to use a large number of Yizhou officials who had a deep knowledge of the foreign races in Nanzhong.
Perhaps the situation faced by the Han Dynasty today is very different from that in history, but the bitter relationship between the foreign tribes in Nanzhong and the Yizhou family will not change.
As long as this relationship does not change, Zhuge Liang's worries are likely to come true.
Although he had already guessed that the foreign tribes in the south were about to launch a rebellion, Zhuge Liang did not convene his ministers to discuss the matter. Instead, he specifically asked Mi Yang for his opinion in a secret message.
Zhuge Liang did this on the one hand because many Yizhou aristocratic families have not yet been convicted, and the mobilizing forces within the Han Dynasty have not yet been extinguished.
If the news of the impending rebellion in Nanzhong is spread too early at this time, the situation of the Han Dynasty will inevitably be further turbulent, which Zhuge Liang does not want to see.
On the other hand, there is currently no minister in Chengdu who is good at military strategy. Under such circumstances, even if he convenes ministers for discussion, he may not be able to get any good advice.
On the contrary, asking Mi Yang about the matter privately would, on the one hand, ensure the confidentiality of the matter, and on the other hand, if Mi Yang did not have any good suggestions, there would be no need to summon the ministers.
This is how Zhuge Liang values Mi Yang.
Precisely because she knew that Zhuge Liang valued her very much, Mi Yang was still thinking hard late at night, thinking about giving Zhuge Liang a good suggestion.
In fact, in history, Zhuge Liang also asked Ma Di for his opinion on this matter, and Ma Di's answer was cited by many people in later generations as the best way to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong.
If he had just traveled through time, Mi Yang might have copied Ma Su's answer.
Only after experiencing many wars did Mi Yang deeply understand why Liu Bei made an "exaggerated" evaluation of Ma Di.
Historically, Ma Su's suggestion of "attacking the heart first" is not wrong.
But it’s too spacey.
No general who has read military literature knows these four words: attack the heart first, let alone Zhuge Liang.
Focusing on attacking the heart is a panacea. Not only is it suitable for suppressing rebellions in the South and Central China, it can also be used as a strategy for the Han army during the Northern Expedition in the future.
It is also a good strategy even when used in domestic affairs.
But war is never that easy.
Everyone knows the strategy of Tiger Balm, but in order to win a war, what is really needed is the specific tactics of "attacking the heart first".
This is exactly what Mi Yang is troubled about now.
But despite the distress, luckily Mi Yang is a time traveler.
His greatest advantage over the current generation is that he knows the history of the Battle of South China.
Because of this advantage, Mi Yang gradually had some ideas in his mind.
With some ideas in mind, Mi Yang immediately came to sit down at the desk, then picked up a brush, spread out a blank silk book, and started writing on it.
The first sentence Mi Yang wrote was: "Overcoming one difficulty is easy, overcoming many is easy."
This sentence is what Mi Yang believes to be the best tactic to counter the rebellion in Nanzhong in the future.
The reason why Mi Yang suggested this tactic to Zhuge Liang was that Nanzhong had a very big weakness, that is, they were not actually united.
Since the enemy has such a weakness, it would be a pity if we don't want to take advantage of it.
After writing this programmatic sentence, Mi Yang wrote some specific methods in his silk book on how he thought this could be achieved.
Because he was not on the battlefield and had no clear intelligence support, Mi Yang didn't know how effective his methods would be in the future.
But if his method can give Zhuge Liang some inspiration, then Mi Yang thinks it is worth it.
Anyway, Mi Yang also knew that even without him, the turmoil in Nanzhong was really not enough to make Zhuge Liang feel helpless.
After writing the corresponding method, Mi Yang added another sentence at the end of the silk book.
"Yizhou's military strength is weak. If Ming Gong is worried about insufficient troops during his southern expedition, I can dispatch some of Liangzhou's elite troops to assist Ming Gong in defeating the enemy."
After writing this sentence, Mi Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, he carefully checked the contents of the silk book again.
After realizing that there were no other omissions, Mi Yang called Ding Feng.
Ding Feng, as Mi Yang's subordinate governor, has been guarding outside Mi Yang's tent with a halberd in his hand.
At Mi Yang's shout, Ding Feng immediately ran in from outside the tent.
After Ding Feng came in, he saw that Mi Yang seemed to have temporarily recovered from his sadness, and he felt happy in his heart.
To this day, Mi Yang's personal safety, honor and disgrace have been deeply tied to those of his subordinates.
Mi Yang handed the silk book in his hand to Ding Feng, and then he said to Ding Feng: "Send a quick horse and send it to Chengdu immediately without any mistake."
Although Ding Feng didn't know what the content of the silk book was, Mi Yang's instructions made him realize the importance of the silk book in his hand.
After bowing to Mi Yang, he quickly ran out of the tent to look for Xinqi.
After Ding Feng left, Mi Yang, who had finished solving an important matter, leaned on a soft chair and took a rest.
Although he wanted to rest, Mi Yang couldn't help but start thinking about who he should send to lead the army south.
As he wrote in his letter, Yizhou's military strength is currently weak.
Among the three states of the Han Dynasty, since Liangzhou and Jingzhou are both strategically important places, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in each of the two states.
However, in recent years, the Han Dynasty has been involved in successive wars, which have almost completely depleted the national power of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the big men could have a good rest and recuperation, just last year, under the auspices of Zhuge Liang, many sergeants from Yizhou were released into the fields.
If Zhuge Liang wants to march south in the future, Yizhou may face a situation of insufficient military strength.
After all, the Yizhou base camp also needs a large army to protect it.
Under this situation, Mi Yang knew that his initiative to mobilize troops to assist Zhuge Liang in his southern expedition was likely to be approved by Zhuge Liang.
Although Mi Yang regarded his army as the foundation for his livelihood, he also knew that he could not be where he is today without Liu Bei's efforts to promote him.
Therefore, when a powerful man is in need, Mi Yang will never do any tricks to support his troops.
Since it is very likely that a part of the Liang army will be sent to capture the enemy in the future, the general of the Liang army who is responsible for commanding the troops will have to think carefully.
Zhang Yi, Ding Feng, Deng Ai, Meng Da, Wei Yan, Wu Yi and other personal names flashed in Mi Yang's mind.
These six generals are currently under Mi Yang's command and are qualified to lead an army on their own.
After thinking carefully, Mi Yang picked up the brush on the desk and wrote the name of a general on a piece of paper.
Deng Ai.
Currently, among his six generals, only Deng Ai needs military exploits to prove his reputation the most.
After deciding on this matter, Mi Yang leaned on the soft chair and fell asleep deeply.
It was impossible for him to lead the army south in person because his enemy was Cao Zhen, the pillar of Cao Wei.
As Mi Yang received the news from Chengdu, Yang Fu in Chencang soon also learned about everything that happened in Chengdu.
When Yang Fu learned the news, he couldn't believe it for a moment.
How dare Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang be so decisive?
At the beginning, Yang Fu offered Cao Zhen a plan to get Mi Yang to leave Liangzhou by disrupting the internal affairs of Yizhou.
Originally, before this, the situation in Yizhou was developing according to Yang Fu's expectations.
But what Yang Fu never expected was that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would dare to be so decisive and want to take down the Yizhou family.
Perhaps ordinary people would think that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would act like this. The fundamental reason was that Mi Zhu reported with irrefutable evidence at the court meeting.
But Yang Fu has been working hard in Cao Wei for decades, and his understanding of politics is far beyond ordinary people.
Liu Bei is the emperor. For the emperor, sometimes guilt or innocence is not important. What is important is the stability of the country.
It can be inferred from this point that if Liu Bei had not already had the intention of attacking the Yizhou family, then in order to maintain the stability of the country, no matter what kind of ironclad evidence Mi Zhu produced, it would be useless.
Or in other words, if the same thing happened in Cao Wei's court meeting, then Yang Fu could be sure that Cao Pi would never be as decisive as Liu Bei.
Mi Zhu could only die in the end.
Because of this, Yang Fu was quite shocked.
Yang Fu didn't think Liu Bei didn't know how much impact his actions would have on his empire.
But Liu Bei still did this, which shows that there was a more important persistence in Liu Bei's heart that prompted him to do this.
What is that persistence?
Yang Fu may never understand Liu Bei's behavior.
It's just that if you don't understand, you don't understand. Yang Fu can be relied on as a think tank by Cao Zhen, and his wisdom is not low.
After learning about the great changes that had taken place in Liu Bei's regime, Yang Fu immediately began to think about what benefits he could help Wei get from this great change.
While thinking, Yang Fu also looked at the heroic young man accompanying him.
This young man was none other than Jiang Wei, who had just arrived in Chencang not long ago.
Based on the relationship between Jiang's mother and Yang Fu, Jiang Wei must have defected to Yang Fu as soon as he came to Chencang.
And Yang Fu did not disappoint Jiang Wei. After Jiang Wei defected to him, he immediately found Jiang Wei a position as a school captain.
Although the captain is not a general, it is still a very important official position in the army, ranking higher than Qianshi.
Jiang Wei has only just reached the championship this year, but he has achieved such a starting point in the army, which is already more than most people in the world.
Otherwise, it is really a blessing to have a good family background in Cao Wei.
Of course, Yang Fu was able to give Jiang Wei the post of school captain, not only because of his relationship with Jiang Wei, but also because he knew that Jiang Wei was not just a talkative kid from an aristocratic family, but that he had real qualities.
So after Jiang Wei defected to him, Yang Fu kept Jiang Wei with him for training and training.
When Yang Fu looked at Jiang Wei, he handed the information in his hand to Jiang Wei for viewing.
Jiang Wei didn't hesitate when he saw this, he took the information and started reading it.
After reading the contents of the intelligence, Jiang Wei also had a look of surprise on his face.
Obviously, he did not expect Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to do this.
However, after being surprised, a look of thinking appeared on Jiang Wei's face.
He was smart and knew the reason why Yang Fu showed him this information.
He knew about Yang Fu's previous plan. Now after seeing the great changes in Chengdu, Jiang Wei knew that Yang Fu's previous plan had failed.
Originally, according to Yang Fu's idea, even if Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang saw his plot, with the influence of the Yizhou family, they would not be able to solve the turmoil in Yizhou for a while.
However, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang could not quickly quell the turmoil in Yizhou, but they could quickly deal with those who caused the turmoil.
In this case, Yang Fu's previous plot will naturally become a rootless tree.
On the one hand, Jiang Wei secretly praised the superb methods of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and on the other hand, he was quickly thinking about how his side could counterattack.
With Jiang Wei's intelligence, he quickly thought of a good strategy.
Jiang Wei bowed to Yang Fu and said: "Your Majesty, Nanzhong can be used."
Hearing Jiang Wei's suggestion, a smile appeared in the corner of Yang Fu's eyes, but Yang Fu felt it was not good enough.
Yang Fu has high expectations for Jiang Wei.
Using Nanzhong coincided with what he had in mind, but he expected Jiang Wei to come up with a better strategy.
Jiang Wei noticed Yang Fu's expectant eyes and met Yang Fu's gaze. Jiang Wei did not disappoint Yang Fu. He continued:
"There is a lot to be done in Hanzhong."
After hearing Jiang Wei's words, Yang Fu's eyes lit up instantly.
