Chapter 458: The case of Shuai was revealed in anger and he crossed the Han River again
Han De, who was full of distress, had no choice but to lead the army and continue to advance towards Chenggu County.
In the third month after Han De arrived in Chenggu County, Wang Shuang, who was leading the advance towards Chenggu County, also arrived outside Chenggu County.
But what Wang Shuang, who wanted to serve Cao Zhen with meritorious service, did not expect was that when he led his army to the outside of Dagu County, he did not see a single hair of the Han army. Instead, he saw Han De with a sad face.
Seeing Hande's bitter expression, Wang Shuang wondered whether Hande was the one being attacked from both fronts and backs.
After Han De's narration, Wang Shuang quickly understood the ins and outs of why Han De was depressed.
After knowing Wei Yan's true actions, Wang Shuang was so angry that he wanted to slap Han De in front of him, even though Han De had a higher military position than him now.
Wang Shuang did not blame Han De for letting Wei Yan jump out of the encirclement. After all, no one could have imagined that Wei Yan would adopt such a disorganized way of advancing.
Didn't you see that even Cao Zhen was temporarily fooled by Wei Yan's style of play, let alone Han De?
Wang Shuang was really angry because Han Debuqi made a decisive decision and did not lead his army to pursue Wei Yan's army decisively.
What Han De considered was not unclear to Wang Shuang.
Wang Shuang also knew that it would be difficult for Han De to lead his army in pursuit of Wei Yan's army.
But there are two different things between not being able to pursue you and not having an army chasing you!
Wei Yan suddenly and nimbly jumped out of the encirclement, which made any Wei general know that Wei Yan's purpose was never to rescue Nanzheng.
After knowing that, a question arises in my mind.
If not, Nanzheng can be rescued. Otherwise, what can cause Wei Yan, the general who Zhenbei, to lead five thousand elites to abandon the stable city and go deep into the enemy's encirclement?
Wei Yan could not help but think about bringing the five thousand Han troops out to anger the Wei army.
No matter which aspect you analyze it from, it is not impossible.
Therefore, although Wang Shuang could not guess Wei Yan's real purpose at present, he knew that there must be an urgent matter that forced Wei Yan to take such a risk.
Now that he knew this, it would have been a big mistake for Han De to give up pursuing Wei Yan.
Even if Han De could not lead the army to pursue Wei Yan, but Han De's 10,000 troops could follow and pursue him, then Wei Yan would definitely be wary of it no matter what his purpose was for taking such risks.
Is this level of fear possible to defeat Wei Yan's success, or even allow the Wei army to find another opportunity to encircle and suppress Wei Yan's army?
Don't forget that even if Wei Yan's army can pass through Lecheng smoothly, there are still 10,000 Wei troops outside Seoul!
Thinking of that, Wang Shuang became angrier as he thought about it.
Wang Shuang glared at Han De coldly and said wrongly, "I'll just wait for the general to convict him."
After saying that, Wang Shuang ignored Han De's confusion and surprise and immediately ordered his army to start building a pontoon bridge on the north bank of the Han River.
If Han De doesn't chase him, he will!
At the same time, two military messages were sent from Han De and Wang Shuang's legs, and were delivered to Cao Zhen's legs outside Xingshi City in two months.
When Cao Zhen received the military information from Han De and Wang Shuang, he was convening the generals to discuss an siege plan to the east.
Cao Zhen was not in a good mood at first.
After all, in recent months, the Wei army had been picking on the weak and captured many cities. Most of the military reports Cao Zhen received were unsuccessful.
This greatly boosted the military morale of the Wei army and made Cao Zhen feel that his future was full of prospects.
When Cao Zhen heard that Han De and Wang Shuang both had military reports arriving, he silently calculated in his mind that if Han De and Wang Shuang could not successfully kill Wei Yan's army, the successful reports would also be delivered in those months, so
Cao Zhen had a vague guess in his mind.
That guess made Cao Zhen's lips curl up.
Cao Zhen pretended to be calm and took the two military reports from the soldiers' legs, and then he opened Han De's report first according to his status.
Han De seemed to have realized that he had made a mistake after Wang Shuang's "reminder", so he concealed Wei Yan's whereabouts in the military report and embellished his behavior.
But even though Han De did this, the appearance in his military report inevitably made Cao Zhen frown.
A ball of anger was brewing rapidly in Cao Zhen's heart.
Cao Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart and opened Wang Shuang's military report and read it.
Wang Shuang could not deny Han De. As Cao Zhen's confidant, he reported the truth to Cao Zhen in the military report.
And Wang Shuang mercilessly exposed Han De's unwiseness.
After reading Wang Shuang's military report, Cao Zhen could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, or he no longer had the need to suppress it anymore!
Cao Zhen angrily slapped the military newspaper in his leg on the desk in front of him, and said bitterly: "Han De made a mistake!"
When Cao Zhen was reading Han De's military report just now, the reason why he didn't get angry in public was because he was very angry because Wei Yan was wrong to dump him.
But he did not personally issue the order to encircle and suppress Wei Yan. If he did not get angry because of it, wouldn't he be admitting in disguise that he was inferior to Wei Yan?
The posthumous military report of Wang Shuang gave Cao Zhen a step up, and also allowed Cao Zhen to regard Han De as the scapegoat for the failure of that encirclement and suppression campaign.
The Wei generals outside the tent saw that Cao Zhen suddenly lost his temper after reading the military report sent from Chenggu. They couldn't help but become curious about the contents of the military report.
Cao Zhen did not keep them curious for too long. He asked Liu Ye's appearance in the former general's newspaper to be read to the Wei generals present.
After learning about Wei Yan's unexpected move, not only the Wei generals present, but also Liu Ye's face showed a look of surprise.
At the same time, the same anger as Cao Zhen was rising in their hearts.
Wei Yan's behavior is tantamount to treating their entire Wei army like monkeys!
How can you bear it?
Of course, all the Wei generals also saw Cao Zhen's extremely bad expression.
Although Cao Zhen said "Han De mistook him", he was covering up the fact that Cao Zhen was deceived by Wei Yan, but it could deceive the lower-level soldiers. Everyone here is not a sage. Of course they know that Cao Zhen is now
I must hate Wei Yan in my heart.
In this case, of course, it is time for the Wei generals to show their loyalty by welcoming Dong Lai.
Almost immediately, enthusiastic calls for battle could be heard outside Cao Zhen's tent.
But the enthusiastic call for battle did not improve Cao Zhen's mood.
On the contrary, his face became increasingly angry.
Wang Shuang's military report has already stated that when the true goal of the Eastern Wei Yan army is not known, in that case, what is the use of calling for battle no matter how enthusiastic it is?
Is it possible that the tens of thousands of Wei troops should be allowed to disperse, search the mountains and rivers in the huge Hanzhong County, and aimlessly pursue Wei Yan's army?
What kind of idiot general could do that?
Based on that fact, Cao Zhen also knew that the generals who wanted to fight in the East did not really want to share his worries, but were just talking about it.
How could Cao Zhen not be angry but become even more angry?
It’s just that the enemy is difficult to deal with, but the outsiders are also so mean-spirited!
Cao Zhen, whose anger could not be suppressed, glanced coldly at the people present.
The dissatisfaction in his eyes could be seen by everyone, so after realizing Cao Zhen's dissatisfaction, the clamor for a fight that had just been loud suddenly fell silent.
Cao Zhen's prestige among the Wei army is now higher than that of Cao Pi.
After shocking the audience with his cold eyes, Cao Zhen cast his hopeful eyes on Liu Ye.
His eyes were self-evident. He hoped that Liu Ye would analyze Wei Yan's true purpose for him. Only by knowing Wei Yan's true purpose could he plan a wrong encirclement and suppression plan.
The look was sincere, but even if Liu Ye hadn't been there that time, he still couldn't accurately judge Wei Yan's purpose.
Liu Ye is a great genius, but he is not a god.
And the more talented they are, the more information they need to give full play to their talents.
Now that Liu Ye had received bad information, Wei Yan used maneuverable tactics to get rid of the armies of Han De and Wang Shuang and continued to advance westward.
But that information also became less reliable due to the influence of Wei Yan's previous actions.
After all, Wei Yan led the army all the way westward, just like he led the army all the way towards Nanzheng quickly, otherwise he would have done it for the Wei army to see.
But Wei Yan can continue to make a big reversal, and he can also lead his army to the south east, leave Dingjun Mountain and return to Jiange.
In the art of war, it is always difficult to distinguish between falsehood and reality.
In desperation, Liu Ye mistakenly said to Cao Zhen: "The general gave an order to General Annan to take action."
General Annan refers to Fei Yao.
After hearing Liu Ye's advice, Cao Zhen said in his heart that he would not be disappointed.
But he also understood Liu Ye's helplessness.
With the situation in Dangdong, even if Emperor Wu is resurrected, Wei Yan's real purpose cannot be determined in a short period of time.
As for Liu Ye's advice, could it be considered the most appropriate way to defeat the Wei army in the east?
After all, no matter whether Wei Yan continues to advance westward, southeast or northward, Fei Yao's army outside Hancheng is blocking Wei Yan's only hope.
Cao Zhen asked Liu Ye to write a military order and quickly send it to Fei Yao. The content of the military order was as Liu Ye said. Then Cao Zhen felt a little tired and asked the generals to retreat to the east.
After all the generals led by Zhai left the Big Expansion Blade, Cao Zhen's mood not only did not calm down, but on the contrary, he became increasingly angry as he thought about it.
In the decades since he led the army, he has rarely been fooled like this!
If he was deceived by Mi Yang like that, Cao Zhen could comfort himself by saying: It is not shameful to suffer a loss in Mi Yang's leg.
But who is Wei Yan?
Thinking of this, Cao Zhen was so angry that he pushed the entire table in front of him into the air. When the heavy table fell to the ground from high altitude, all the good news on the table were scattered on the ground.
Is it really a piece of cake?
It was then that Cao Zhen became famous. When he left Luoyang, why did Cao Pi repeatedly tell him that he must have a good attitude when fighting Mi Yang?
Cao Zhen had never fought with the Han army before. He remembered that before Mi Yang appeared, the Han army's fighting style was very satisfactory.
Famous generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not like open and close battles. How could they be as unpredictable and changeable as they are now?
Can Mi Yang appear?
Are the leaders of the Han army now some kind of freak?
If Mi Yang doesn't die, will he really have endless troubles?
No matter how fast Wei Yan's march was, the army could not move faster than the messenger with the blessing of a horse.
Before Wei Yan's army arrived outside Seoul, Fei Yao, who was leading the attack, received Cao Zhen's military order.
After reading the outline of Cao Zhen's military order, Fei Yao's mind was filled with questions.
Did he know the previous movements of Wei Yan's army? He also knew that Cao Zhen arranged for two armies to outflank Wei Yan's army.
In Fei Yao's view, Cao Zhen's arrangement was enough to defeat Wei Yan's army.
But what he didn't expect was that within a few months, he learned that Wei Yan's army was about to cross the encirclement and arrive outside Seoul.
That kind of strong reversal was unacceptable even for a veteran like Fei Yao.
Especially the words "act with camera" in Cao Zhen's military order made Fei Yao lose his mind for a while.
After thinking for a long time, veteran Fei Yao made a safe arrangement.
He left 5,000 troops in the east to continue the siege of Seoul, while he led 5,000 Wei troops south to cross the Han River, preparing to block the continued advance of Wei Yan's army.
Behind Wei Yan's army, Wang Shuang's 5,000 Wei troops were in hot pursuit, although it would take a while for Wang Shuang's army to catch up with Wei Yan's army.
But if Fei Yao can lead the army to block Wei Yan's army for several months, then Wei Yan will inevitably be attacked from both sides.
In terms of tactical arrangements, Fei Yao fully demonstrated the qualities of a veteran.
There is a gap between veterans and famous generals.
Not long after, the scouts sent by Fei Yao reported back a piece of news that scared him out of his wits.
Just when Wei Yan led his army to reach a hundred miles away from Seoul, Wei Yan did not lead his army to continue advancing westward.
He ordered the entire army to cut down a large amount of wood and make simple wooden boats, which allowed Wei Yan to successfully allow 5,000 Han troops to cross the Han River and return to the north bank of the Han River.
If he just denied that news, Fei Yao would not be shocked.
He had already anticipated Wei Yan's plan.
Therefore, he still left five thousand Wei troops on the north bank.
To Fei Yao's surprise, after Wei Yan led his army across the Han River, he headed straight north towards the Xie Valley.
Where is Xiegu?
That was one of the two main passages for the Wei army to enter Hanzhong. Although the Eastern Wei army had safely walked out of the Xie Valley, the people came out and a large amount of military rations were stored outside the entrance of the Xie Valley!
Previously, in order to attack the counties and cities in Hanzhong, the Wei army dispersed most of its troops to attack. As a result, the defensive power of Xiekou could not be said to be weak, but it was definitely not considered strong.
Fei Yao couldn't even imagine the consequences if Wei Yan led his army to suddenly attack Xiegukou.
The key battle for the founding of Cao Wei was the Battle of Guandu. The reason why Cao Cao was able to defeat the strong in the Battle of Guandu was because he took advantage of Yuan Shao's unpreparedness and burned most of Yuan's army's food and grass.
Because of this battle example, Cao Cao had very strict provisions in the military law regarding guarding military food bases in order to prevent his own army from encountering such a tragic ending one day during his lifetime.
Based on Cao Cao's military strategy of Dingdong, not to mention whether Wei Yan could successfully attack Dongxiegukou, but if he failed to put Xiegukou in danger, Fei Yao would not be able to bear such a responsibility.
Who can be afraid of the punishment of the three clans?
After realizing that, Fei Yao now did not care about blocking Wei Yan's army in Nan'an.
He immediately led his army back to the north bank, and then ignored Seoul and directly gathered 10,000 Wei troops to retreat fifty miles to guard the only way from Seoul to Luogukou.
What Fei Yao didn't expect was that he waited for a long time after leading the army to garrison, but there was no sign of Wei Yan's army.
Until a few months later, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue.
Wei Yan took advantage of the Wei army's massive retreat and led the army quickly through Seoul and headed towards Yangping Pass!
That news proved that Fei Yao was also tricked by Wei Yan.
Where did Wei Yan go?
Did he ask to go to Yangping Pass?
