Chapter 449 Lu Yi reminds Wu Street to fall
Lu Yi wore military uniform and came to Ma Chao's big expansion blade.
When the life and death of Liangzhou was at stake, the kings and ministers of Liangzhou kept their swords from their legs and their armors from their bodies during that month.
Lu Yi, who already had a stern face, looked even more sharp after wearing a military uniform.
With Lu Yi's attitude of not letting strangers in, no one who saw him coming would think that something good was coming.
As Ma Chao expected, Lu Yi's face became a little colder after seeing him.
As for Lu Yi's cold attitude when he met Ma Chao, the status gap between him and Ma Chao was too big, so after Lu Yi saw Ma Chao, he bowed to Ma Chao.
It's good that Lu Yifou came on behalf of Mi Yang, but Mi Yang had to salute Ma Chao when he saw him.
After saluting, Lu Yi took out a silk book from his arms and read it out without any hesitation.
Lu Yi read aloud very quickly, and soon Ma Chao had finished listening to the contents of the silk book.
But after listening to the contents of the silk book, a look of surprise appeared on Ma Chao's face.
Is the silk letter what he expected? It is a document that Mi Yang begs to reduce his military power.
On the contrary, Mi Yang first praised Ma Chao in his silk book.
Then Mi Yang informed in the silk letter that he had written a letter to reprimand Zhang Ni for his behavior of Edom suing Zai, so that Ma Chao would not have to worry.
Especially the last sentence of Mi Yang in the silk book made Ma Chao feel a little moved:
"As soon as the war begins, he will go east, and everything to the west will be yours!"
What does that sentence mean?
This means taking Yinping as the boundary. Starting from the bright moon, the military affairs of Liangzhou to the east of Yinping have been coordinated by Mi Yang himself, while the military affairs to the west have been decided by Ma Chao alone. Mi Yang will never be constrained by his mistakes.
The meaning expressed by Mi Yang represented his unparalleled trust in Ma Chao and his respect for Ma Chao, the highest ritual.
Since Ma Chao joined Liu Bei's camp, he has often been ranked first in terms of military position alone.
From the beginning, even Guan Yu's position was to the east of Ma Chao.
However, whenever Liu Bei uses Ma Chao, he often appoints Ma Chao, who has a higher status, as his deputy general. This was not the case during the Battle of Dongbian.
This is a kind of check and balance for Liu Bei and Ma Chao.
During the Mingyue Liangzhou Defense War, although Ma Chao's position was with Mi Yang, he actually could not accept Mi Yang's command.
Otherwise, how could Zhang Yi report Ma Chao's behavior to Mi Yang?
And Mingyue Miyang's silk letter, in form and fact, elevated Ma Chao to a position of equal power with him.
Ma Chao has never received that kind of respect and trust before.
No never!
So when Mingyue Ma Chao got that precious thing that he had never dared to think of before, even if Ma Chao was such a fierce general, the most emotional string in his heart was easily plucked by Mi Yang.
There is a saying in this world that a scholar will die for his close friends.
Of course, if it weren't for Ma Chao in the past, Mi Yang's behavior might have caused trouble, and Lu Yi didn't think so.
But after experiencing many ups and downs in life, Ma Chao's character has already undergone many changes, which can be seen from the care he took from Ma Dai.
If it were Ma Chao in the past, his biological father and brothers were all ignorant. Would he really care about how his younger brother would live in the future?
That was one of the reasons why Mi Yang dared to do this.
Mi Yang does not know what happened between Ma Chao and Ma Dai, but he is not a time traveler. He knows something that happened to Ma Chao from history books.
When Ma Chao was living in the east of Zhang Lu's leg, Dong Zhong, his concubine's younger brother, came to congratulate him on the New Year. Facing Dong Zhong's congratulations, Ma Chao beat his chest and vomited blood and said: "We are a family, and once we have the same destiny, we will know each other."
He Xie?"
From that Xu Xu sentence, it can be seen that Ma Chao was wrong about what he did back then and was repentant.
To be honest, did you know that that would have made Mi Yang think about using Ma Chao?
Of course, if you don't have emotional trust, you can just sit back and relax, and you need the checks and balances of your legs.
It is true that Mi Yang did not have the ability to check and balance Ma Chao's legs. For example, Mi Yang did not let Ma Chao bring his own troops with him.
No matter how much power Mi Yang gave Ma Chao, the soldiers and horses that Ma Chao could command were all direct descendants of Mi Yang. With that foundation, what did Mi Yang have to worry about?
Is it possible that they are worried that Ma Chao will surrender to Cao Wei?
Isn't that funny?
Ma Chao may not understand Mi Yang's other considerations, but can Ma Chao really feel the trust and respect that Mi Yang has expressed through Lu Yi's mouth?
Ma Chao even wondered whether Mi Yang had a deep meaning in sending Lu Yi as an envoy.
Lu Yi, as the representative of the group of Liang ministers who had least trusted him in the past, came to him personally under Mi Yang's arrangement and read out Mi Yang's most sincere and sincere trust.
That's what Mi Yang is telling himself: Don't worry about being deceived by others, even if that person is not his confidant, his trust in him will never be shaken.
Mi Yang has already reached that point, so why should Ma Chao hesitate?
Ma Chao took the silk letter written by Mi Yang from Lu Yi's leg with a moved expression.
At the same time, a solemn promise came from Ma Chao's mouth.
"If the enemy's iron hoofs cross Yinping, there will be corpses to the east of the iron hoofs!"
"I hope Mr. Lu will tell Chao's words to the champion on behalf of Chao."
Even if Lu Yi didn't like Ma Chao in his heart, he was touched after hearing those words.
How many people in Tiandong can say those decisive words?
Lu Yi's face was still cold, but he nodded to Ma Chao.
That means he will definitely bring those words to you.
After seeing Lu Yi's promise to him, Ma Chao invited Lu Yi to go to the camp wall with him to watch the tragic situation of the Wei army.
By that time, the Wei army in the flames had long been killed, but the flames were still raging in the Gushan Mountain Road.
When Lu Yi was behind the camp wall, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
At a glance, there is nothing but fire all over the sky.
In the midst of the continuous fire, many charred corpses were vaguely visible, as well as many siege equipment that had been destroyed by the fire.
After seeing that scene, Lu Yi was shocked and immediately turned to look at Ma Chao.
Facing Lu Yi's shocked gaze, Ma Chao told Lu Yi exactly what happened just now.
Of course, in the narrative, Ma Chao emphasized Ma Dai's contribution.
But after listening to Ma Chao's narration, Lu Yi didn't care much about Ma Dai. Instead, he was very interested in the stone fat mentioned in Ma Chao's words.
Lu Yi just came over from Mi Yang's side. As he often stayed by Mi Yang's side, he naturally knew that Mi Yang was worried about the Wei army's siege in the coming month.
The monarch is worried about the humiliation of his ministers. Since the monarch has that kind of worry, Lu Yi has been thinking about how to eliminate Mi Yang's worries all the time in the past month.
Now that he knew that Ma Chao's legs contained magical items like stone fat, which could easily cause fires, Lu Yi became concerned.
I wonder if that kind of item can be used in a defensive battle. It would undoubtedly be a nightmare for the attacking side to use that item.
This can be seen from the tragic situation experienced by the Eastern Wei army.
Lu Yilian went to ask Ma Chao how much stone fat was in his legs.
Did Ma Chao not expect that Lu Yi would be so interested in something like Shi Zhi?
Don’t all Confucian disciples like classics and classics?
Seeing Lu Yi's urgent tone, Ma Chao went to tell Lu Yi that he had already used up Shizhi in the previous battle.
Although stone fat sometimes emerges on its own initiative on some water surfaces, this is rare and uncommon.
And due to the extremely high flammability of stone fat, it would be very difficult for the world to collect and store it.
Even with Ma Chao's previous power in Liangzhou, he only got a very small part of Shizhi.
After listening to Ma Chao's explanation, Lu Yi did not doubt that he was there. After he continued to ask some specific information about Shi Zhi, he wanted to leave quickly and report the matter to Mi Yang.
Before leaving, Lu Yi took a look and said to Ma Chao, "He will report the Hussar General's two great victories to the king truthfully."
After a pause, Lu Yi continued: "He will also fully report the merits of Captain Ma."
Lu Yifou has an upright personality, but he is not stupid.
The intention to promote Ma Dai revealed in Ma Chao's words was almost undisguised.
Lu Yi saw through Ma Chao's misconceptions but did not tell them.
Anyway, Ma Chao's two victories are not without water. As long as there is such a foundation, then Lu Yi will not be too persistent.
Then Lu Yi mistakenly gave Ma Chao a reminder.
"After he entered Wudu County, he saw foreign troops mobilizing in many places, and he hoped that the Hussars General would take more precautions against this."
After reminding Ma Chao, Lu Yi bowed to Ma Chao by mistake, and then left anxiously outside the camp.
When Lu Yi left the camp wall behind him, Ma Dai, who was not far away, came over. He asked Ma Chao doubtfully:
"The general didn't say before that he had asked General Zuo for help, so why did Fan Lu Zhizhong come here but no reinforcements followed him?"
Faced with Ma Dai's question, Ma Chao did not choose to answer him.
He raised his eyes and looked at the Wei army camp several miles away, and Lu Yi's reminder just now kept echoing in his mind.
Am I planning something?
Due to the fire caused by Shizhi, Guo Huai's first attack on the camp failed tragically.
That defeat caused the morale of the Wei army to further decline.
No famous general would think of continuing to storm the Han army camp when his morale is low.
However, during the months following their arrival from the east, the Han army and the Wei army were facing each other across a deep mountain road.
Just when the Han and Wei armies were in a staggered confrontation at Gushan, the Central Army, led by Cao Wei's cavalry general Cao Hong, also entered the territory of Hanzhong.
That month was the eighth month of the third year of Han Zhangwu.
According to the Wei army's southern expedition strategy, the center route army led by Cao Hong aimed at Qiaotou, another important town in Hanzhong.
Cao Wei's West Route Army and Central Route Army were both from the south and east of Sanguan.
Different from the West Route Army, the Middle Route Army led by Cao Hong immediately turned eastward after crossing Sanguan, detouring all the way to the outside of Wu Street.
From a common sense point of view, due to their different strategic goals, it is normal for the West Route Army to separate and enter Wudu County, but the Middle Route Army under Cao Hong should take the route south east of Qishan Mountain.
Although the Central Route Army went from the south of Qishan to the east of Hanzhong, looking at the map, it would take a longer detour than from the south of Sanguan.
But once the Wei army crosses Qishan Mountain, there will be many roads behind Qishan Mountain for the army to move quickly.
From that point of view, the overall time for the Central Route Army to enter Hanzhong will not increase, but will instead be shortened.
Moreover, the strategic purpose of Cao Hong's Middle Route Army was to cut off the connection between the east and west sides of Hanzhong. From that strategic purpose, it was more appropriate for the Middle Route Army to enter Hanzhong from Qishan.
Because there are many fortresses behind Qishan, if all these fortresses can be removed, then the strategic purpose of the Central Route Army will be achieved.
Before Cao Hong's Central Route Army entered Hanzhong, many people thought that Cao Hong would choose that route.
But to everyone's surprise, Cao Hong did not take the conventional marching route. He chose the route from Sanguan into Hanzhong.
Cao Hong had his own considerations in doing so.
Although it would be faster to enter Hanzhong from Qishan, Qishan is an important defense town for the Han army and cannot be easily captured.
But if the Wei army bypasses the important town of Qishan and chooses to enter Hanzhong through Sanguan, then the tactics can have an unexpected effect, which may allow the Wei army to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Cao Hong's calculations were not wrong. Although the marching route he chose was more difficult, in the unexpected east, Cao Hong's army arrived at the outside of Wu Street without encountering any major obstruction all the way to the south.
Wujie is a small town in Hanzhong, located behind Qishan Mountain.
Since there was very little enemy news from Qishan ahead, the Wujie defender was caught off guard by the arrival of Cao Hong's army.
In addition, the city defense and military strength in Wujie were not as good as those in Qishan, so Wujie was quickly captured by Cao Hong under the fierce attack of the Wei army.
Cao Hong used his tactics and became the first among the three main generals of the Wei army to achieve victory.
Of course, Wu Street is not a fortress, and it is not of great significance to get it.
But for the Wei army, a small victory in Mi Yang's territory was enough to make them quite excited.
After taking Dongwu Street, Cao Hong began to think about his goal of taking a step east.
The Three Kingdoms did not pay attention to the bad habit of remote control command.
If Cao Hong can achieve his strategic goal initially, then in the process of achieving that strategic goal, whatever tactics Cao Hong adopts will be acceptable.
For example, the march route chosen by Cao Hong.
When Cao Hong was thinking about the goal of taking a step east, he did not discuss it with his guard Yang Fu.
Everyone in Wei knew that the relationship between Cao Hong and Yang Fu was very bad.
Cao Hong suspected that Cao Zhen had arranged for Yang Fu to become his bodyguard, or that Cao Zhen was deliberately disgusting with him.
After all, the relationship between Cao Hong and Cao Zhen is notoriously bad.
Cao Hong kept flipping through the information collected in his legs. After flipping for a long time, a piece of routine information caught Cao Hong's attention.
This information talks about who the current Yangping Gatekeeper will be.
Can that person conquer Northern General Wu Yi?
After realizing that, Cao Hong remembered what he had seen in Chencang before about a series of major events that happened in Liangzhou last year.
One of the major events was how Mi Yang suppressed Wu Yi.
Could the sigh of "Summer Moon Sun" be said by Wu Yi himself?
Anyone who knows the origin of that sentence can hear Wu Yi Cuo Mi Yang's dissatisfaction from that sentence.
If this is really the case, then why doesn't he make a fuss about that?
