Chapter 450: Planning to attack Qishan, Wu Yi is angry
Wu Street is located behind Qishan Mountain, and it is not far from Yangpingguan.
Yangping Pass, anyone who wants to capture Eastern Hanzhong cannot ignore the importance of that pass to Hanzhong.
When Cao Cao led his army to attack Hanzhong, Zhang Wei, Zhang Lu's younger brother, led tens of thousands of troops to fortify outside Yangping Pass.
Zhang Wei's talents are naturally not comparable to Cao Cao's, and Hanzhong's soldiers are not necessarily as elite as those of Wei's army.
But Zhang Wei relied on Yangping Pass to block Cao Cao's army in the mountains.
It can be said that if it had not been for that accident, the Wei army would not have been able to win Dongyang Pingguan.
Even in the Battle of Hanzhong where Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao, no matter how brave the Han army was, there was still a heavily defended Yangping Pass east of Meibhori.
From those two incidents, we can see that the degree of danger at Yangping Pass is extraordinary.
Did Cao Hong participate in the two battles of Hanzhong?
Among the famous generals of Cao Wei who are still alive in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Hong is one of those who has the deepest understanding of the dangers of Yangping Pass.
Because of this understanding, Cao Hongfei did not want to lead his army to attack Yangping Pass unless it was absolutely necessary.
In the initial strategy of the Central Route Army, Cao Zhen did not assign Cao Hong the task of conquering Dongyang Pingguan.
Bu Nao Cao Hong is old, and he has great ambitions in his heart.
If there is a chance to win Dongyang Pingguan, then Cao Hong will definitely give it a try.
In Cao Hong's view, there was an excellent opportunity right in front of him.
Wu Yi and Mi Yang don't get along!
Throughout the ages, have there been very few examples of Tiandongjian abandoning his secret position and turning to the bright side because he disagreed with the coach?
In particular, Cao Hong knew very well that Wu Yi was not from Yizhou, but was from a Central Plains family.
At present, the Central Plains is under the control of Cao Wei.
Everyone is homesick, and if we don't persuade him from the perspective of both benefits and homesickness, there's no guarantee that Wu Yi won't be tempted.
Thinking of that, Cao Hong felt a little hot in his heart.
Cao Hong has a decisive temper. Once he has an idea in his mind, Cao Hong immediately starts to take action.
A letter was quickly written on Cao Hong's pen, and then Cao Hong summoned someone.
The man's name was Ren Xiang, Cao Hong's wife and brother.
The reason why Cao Hong summoned Ren Xiang was that Ren Xiang was not a native of Yanzhou and was not from the same hometown as Wu Yi.
Since you are planning to send a lobbyist, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to send a fellow countryman?
After Ren Xiang was summoned by Cao Hong, he quickly learned about his mission from Cao Hong.
After learning that he was about to become a lobbyist and asked to go to Yangpingguan to persuade Cao Hong to surrender to Wu Yi, Ren Xiang was eager to give it a try.
Wu Yi's family is quite famous in Chenliu, and he and Ren Xiang's family had some friendship in the past.
Moreover, Wu Yi came from a well-known family. If the two armies were to fight, he would attach great importance to the principle of not killing him.
With those two points in mind, Ren Xiang felt that his life safety was guaranteed.
Since there is no danger to his life, but he is very likely to make a great contribution to the East, then why should Ren Xiang hesitate?
After taking the letter from Cao Hong's lap and putting it into his arms, Ren Xiang immediately bowed to Cao Hong and then quickly left Cao Hong's bloated dog.
When Ren Xiang came out of Cao Hong's Big Expansion Blade, his whereabouts happened to be seen by Yang Fu who came to Cao Hong to discuss military affairs.
Ren Xiang was Cao Hong's brother-in-law and now a lieutenant general in Cao Wei's army. Naturally, Yang Fu knew Ren Xiang.
When Yang Fu saw that Ren Xiang had an excited and mysterious look on his face after he came out of Cao Hong's Big Expansion Blade, he inevitably felt a little suspicious.
Bu Nao Yang Fu didn't pay much attention.
The reason why he came to look for Cao Hong was because he wanted to discuss something.
With his request in mind, Yang Fu quickly entered Cao Hong's expanding blade.
When Cao Hong saw that Yang Fu had entered his big dog without permission, he might have been a little unhappy.
Cao Hong and Yang Fu had had a feud for a long time.
After the victory in the Battle of Dongbian that year, Cao Hong was very happy. He held a banquet in the army and asked singing girls to wear thin clothes and play drums. Everyone present laughed.
Only Yang Fu saw that scene and severely reprimanded Cao Hong, saying: "The difference between men and women is a major issue for the country. How can there be a naked woman in Guangzhou! Even though it is Jie, the chaos of Zhou is not worse than this."
In his words, Yang Fu compared Cao Hong to a tyrannical person like Jie and Zhou.
Being scolded like this in public, it would be strange for Cao Hong's character not to be angry.
At that time, Cao Xiu was on the side trying to persuade Cao Hong, but Cao Hong would not invite Yang Fu, who had left the table angrily, to sit down again.
Because of that unpleasant past incident, Yang Fu certainly knew that Cao Hong had a grudge against him.
But since he Mingyue is Cao Hong's army protector, he must fulfill his responsibility of protecting the army.
After Yang Fu saw Cao Hong, he bowed to him by mistake and asked: "It is clear that his army has taken Dongwu Street. I wonder when General will lead the army to the north to capture Qishan?"
Cao Hong used flexible tactics to capture Dongwu Street, but he failed to capture Dongqishan in the end.
There is an elite Liangzhou army in Qishan. If the Liangzhou army cannot be destroyed, the Wei army will not have security behind it.
In such a situation, how can we continue to the south?
Yang Fu's question made Cao Hong ponder.
Even Yang Fu could see the problem, but he couldn't see it.
If not, he really wanted to think carefully about the issue of Dongqi Mountain.
The posthumous title had a new breakthrough direction in his mind, so he didn't care so much about making mistakes in Qishan.
Between Qishan and Yangpingguan, who is more important and who is less important?
That's almost obvious.
And because he was very unsure whether Wu Yi would accept his persuasion to surrender, Cao Hong didn't want to tell Yang Fu what he was planning.
After pondering for a long time, Cao Hong replied: "His army has been marching hard for many months and is quite tired.
Instead of fighting, he would rather let the army rest in Wujie for a few months and then lead the army north to seize Qishan."
Cao Hong's answer did not satisfy Yang Fu.
As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick, and the Ming Central Route Army rarely got off to a good start. Should Ye Jue have used his strength to seize Qishan Mountain?
Once they capture the Eastern Qishan Mountains, then the Central Route Army will have no worries about advancing or retreating in Hanzhong. How can it delay the important matter of life and death of an army?
Yang Fuzheng asked to persuade Cao Hong again, but Cao Hong was a little impatient at that time.
He waved his leg to signal Yang Fu to retreat to the east.
Cao Hong's impatient attitude made Yang Fu choke for a moment.
He was good at guarding the army, but the power of the guard was not unlimited. At least in wartime, he did not have the power to directly command the army.
Cao Hong, now the commander-in-chief of an army, refused to listen to his advice, so there was nothing Yang Fu could do.
Unless Yang Fuke could make a decisive decision to protect the army and remove Dong Cao Hong from the post of general.
As for the power that would only be used as a last resort, if Cao Hong had any merit or demerit, what reason did Yang Fu use to depose Cao Hong on behalf of the emperor?
And after deposing Cao Hong, who should command the Central Army?
Yang Fu believed that he did not have the ability to command a large army alone.
Faced with all kinds of worries and Cao Hong's impatience, Yang Fu could finally sigh and leave sadly.
After Yang Fu left, Cao Hong took out the map outside the tent and carefully studied the enemies he was currently facing in Zhuguangdong.
Although Cao Hong acted carelessly in front of Yang Fu just now, taking the direction of the attack from the east.
But Cao Hong was not a helpless person, and he really wanted to fight a good battle for the Wei Dynasty, so when there was no one in the east, Cao Hong would often analyze how to move eastward.
It is true that Cao Hong had expectations in his heart for Wu Yi at Yangpingguan, but as a veteran, Cao Hong could not put all his eggs in one basket.
Cao Hong's calloused leg fingers kept scratching on the rough map. When his leg fingers moved away from Yangpingguan, they gradually moved to Qishan Mountain.
Just as Yang Fu worried, if Qishan did not take the east for a month, Cao Hong would feel like a lump in his throat.
Looking at the name of the guard marked on the map at Qishan, Cao Hong felt very strange.
Lithos?
Did that Han general appear out of nowhere?
Qishan is such a sought-after place, why didn't Mi Yang let Ding Feng guard it?
Cao Hong said that he couldn't see through Mi Yang's thoughts.
Just like Cao Hong, Bu Nao couldn't figure out why Mi Yang let Wu Yi, who had a rift with him, guard Yangping Pass. Since he couldn't figure it out, there was no need to think about it.
The enemy made Dong's mistake, and did not deny him the best way to make great achievements.
After Ren Xiang left the Wei army camp, he quickly rushed towards Yangping Pass with a few personal followers.
Wujie is not far from Yangping Pass. It is to the east on a moonlit night. A few months later, Ren Xiang arrived outside Yangping Pass.
Not surprisingly, the whereabouts of Ren Xiang and his party were quickly discovered by Han army scouts, and they were surrounded by a group of Han army scouts.
Faced with the encirclement of Han army scouts, Ren Xiang did not choose to resist.
He chose to put away his weapons and let the Han army scouts tie him up, but when the Han army scouts tied him up, he also reported his identity and purpose of coming.
After the captain of the Han army's scouts found out whether Ren Xiang was the envoy sent by the Wei army, he did not hesitate and immediately took Ren Xiang outside Yangping Pass.
For the scouts of an army, things like this have happened to them often in the past.
Soon after, Ren Xiang was taken outside Wu Yi's large bulging dog by Han army scouts.
Yangping Pass is essentially a military fortress.
When Zhang Wei resisted Cao Cao's army at Yangping Pass, he built many dangerous camps outside Yangping Pass.
Over the past few years, some of those large camps have been damaged, but some are still in perfect condition.
Since Wu Yi became the guard general of Yangping Pass, he has reused those camps.
Wu Yi Mingyue was discussing military matters with the generals at Zhangren.
According to the intelligence he had received before, the Wei army should have been attacking Qishan at that time.
Could it be that there was no military information sent from Qishan, which made Wu Yi, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Having doubts in his heart, Wu Yi summoned the generals on the bright moon to discuss the unusual situation.
Although he had been reminded by Mi Yang, the nature of a country is hard to change. When Wu Yi regained military power, he could not help but use a large number of his old troops.
Most of the people who discussed matters with Mingyue at Zuanren were not his confidants.
When Wu Yi heard the scout's report that an envoy from the Wei army was coming, a look of astonishment first appeared on his face, and then his brows furrowed.
Has the Wei army arrived outside Yangping Pass?
Wu Yi knew that he might face Cao Wei's middle army one month later, but according to common sense, Wei's middle army should not have the idea of attacking Yangping Pass so quickly.
After all, Qishan is currently firmly under the control of the Han army.
The arrival of the Wei army envoy plunged Wu Yi into new confusion.
Confused, Wu Yi quickly summoned Ren Xiang.
When Ren Xiang was led into Wu Yi's Great Expansion Blade by the scouts, Ren Xiang quickly mistook the Han generals present and announced a piece of news that shocked them.
Cao Hong's tens of thousands of Wei troops are currently stationed in the Wu Street area.
After learning the news, all the Han generals present were shocked.
Wu Street is behind Qishan, how could it be suddenly taken over by the Wei army?
Could it be that Qishan has been lost?
When that idea emerged in their minds, the faces of all the Han generals present looked very ugly.
If this is really the case, then how powerful the Wei army must be!
Only Wu Yi retained some clarity in his shock.
If Qishan really fell, he would not get any news at all.
Qishan is not a small, inconsequential town like Wu Street.
The most important thing Dongdong asked for was to find out the purpose of the Wei envoy.
Wu Yi tried his best to appear calm. He asked Ren Xiang in a deep voice, "Why did Cao Hong send me here?"
Wu Yi's tone was quite cold.
But Ren Xiang was not worried at all.
He had just announced the news that his army was in Wu Street, so that the Han generals outside the tent would not be worried.
Only in the presence of a worried mood can the success of persuading surrender be greatly improved.
When Wu Yi asked him about his purpose of coming, Ren Xiang did not hide it, or whether he intended to reveal his purpose in front of everyone.
"Cao Huiqi, there is a letter entrusted to him to deliver to the general."
After Ren Xiang said those words, Wu Yi frowned more and more, but the other Han generals present all looked at Wu Yi with various eyes at the same time.
Most of the Han generals outside the tent were Wu Yi's confidants, but many were die-hard Mi Yang.
After all, Mi Yang had previously disrupted and reorganized the entire Liangzhou Army. Under such circumstances, no one in Liangzhou except Mi Yang could completely control the Liangzhou Army alone.
Putting aside the meaning of the looks of Wu Yi's cronies, the looks of those Han generals who were completely loyal to Mi Yang were quite intriguing.
When things developed to that point, everything made Ren Xiang very satisfied.
But when things developed to that point, Wu Yi felt a little unexpected.
The content of Cao Hong's letter in Bulong was not clear. When everyone knew that a letter from Cao Hong had been delivered to Wu Yi's lap, many unfounded speculations would arise.
Wu Yi was a relative of the Han Dynasty, but let’s not mention his past with Mi Yang. When Liu Bei captured Yizhou, wasn’t Wu Yi a relative of Liu Zhang?
At that moment, Wu Yi became aware of Cao Hong's sinister intentions.
It's one thing whether he is Ming Hong or not, but Wu Yi currently has no legs to counterattack.
Flies never bite seamless eggs.
Wu Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Ren Xiang to deliver Cao Hong's letter.
After receiving Cao Hong's handwritten letter, Wu Yi quickly started reading it:
"Hong Su heard that General Hong Su had a reputation for being good at fighting, and he had admired him for a long time.
Ming Hong led his army to attack the border. He originally wanted to compete with the general, but he couldn't bear that his army wasted his life, so he wrote a letter to explain his interests to the general.
There are many things of loyalty and righteousness in the world, but if you want to do them, you also need to watch the weather.
The heroic capital of Ma Chao is now in the military capital, surrounded by the generals who conquered Shu. The bandits are in Nanzheng, and the Ming generals are coming.
As far as his army is concerned, Wu Street is already east, and his army can reach Yangping in less than a month. You have witnessed all the current events.
Liangzhou is divided into three groups by his army, and is about to fall upside down. How can there be any strength left to save the general?
Ming Dynasty's fierce tigers will kill everyone. The heavenly troops of the Wei Dynasty will never stop the road. If Ming generals are ordered to wait for hopeless rescue and guard the passes that are bound to be lost, they will be like fish and meat, relying on Jianghan. I don't know why.
If I concentrate my efforts on one place and never move the moon, the Yang Ping will be destroyed. After the city is destroyed, the body will die and the core will be gathered together.
It would be better to return to the Central Plains and re-consecrate the ancestral temple to the Central Plains.
I hope the general will think about it!"
After reading the appearance in Cao Hong's letter, Wu Yi's face became even more ugly.
He raised his head to look at the gazes of everyone present examining him, and there was an unknown fire brewing in Wu Yi's heart.
Could it be that his image among the world is so unbearable!
