Chapter 459 Everything is ready, the east wind will come
Fei Yao did not stop Wei Yan's army, so he became the third, no, the fourth Wei general who was tricked by Wei Yan.
But even though he failed to complete the task assigned to him by Cao Zhen, he did find out something extremely important - that was Wei Yan's true whereabouts.
But after Wei Yanqiu went to Feiyang Pingguan, Fei Yao's whole head seemed confused.
After Wei Yan led his army to get rid of the Wei army outside Chenggu City, no one in the east of the Wei army made good guesses about Wei Yan's true whereabouts.
Among the people who speculated were Liu Ye, who had unparalleled insight into the current situation, and Cao Zhen, who defeated the foreign tribes in Guanxi. Apart from those two people, there were many Wei generals who at least had hundreds of troops and had experienced hundreds of battles.
There were so many outstanding military commanders, but no one had guessed Wei Yan's true movements before.
The confused Fei Yaodong consciously reported the truth he found out to Cao Zhen outside Xingshi City on horseback.
In March, the messenger quickly came to the Wei army camp outside Xingshi City and personally handed Fei Yao's military report to Cao Zhen.
When Cao Zhen heard that Fei Yao had sent a military report, he anxiously opened the military report in his lap and read it.
Before opening it, Cao Zhen felt a little complicated.
He not only wanted to hear the success report sent by Fei Yao, but also wanted to hear the success report of Wei Yan's army, even if it was not a success report.
While looking forward to it, Cao Zhen felt a little worried.
After all, the movements of Wei Yan's army had filled his mind like a heavy fog before.
With complicated emotions, Cao Zhen read the contents of the military report at an extremely fast speed.
After reading the appearance in the military report, and when the worries in his heart came true, Cao Zhen's entire face turned red with anger.
He held the military report sent by Fei Yao tightly in his legs. Cao Zhen, who was unable to calm down his emotions at first, was so angry that he threw Fei Yao's military report to the ground!
Yangping Pass?
How can Keke deny Yang Pingguan!
What on earth is Mi Yang asking for!
Cao Zhen knew that Wei Yan was Mi Yang's general, so he must have been instructed by Mi Yang to suddenly march in such a hurry.
Cao Zhen never despised Mi Yang's mistakes.
The reason for the posthumous title is that Cao Zhen despised Mi Yang, and Mi Yang's arrangements gave Cao Zhen a headache.
Liu Ye once gave an inference about the true direction of Wei Yan's advance. Wei Yan led his army from Xicheng, and there were only three directions to which Wei Yan most likely went. One was Nanzheng, which was the most likely, and the other two were Luo Valley or Jiange.
Leading troops in those three directions can be said to have a certain improvement effect on the dangerous battle situation faced by the Eastern Han Army.
Only in the direction of Yangpingguan, not even Liu Ye had expected it before.
Coco Liu Ye had thought about Coco, but that Coco was quickly rejected by him.
Why?
The reason is very simple, Yangping Pass has never denied the core of the Wei army's offensive.
Cao Zhen did not know the importance of Yangping Pass against Hanzhong, but he also knew how easy it was to defend and difficult to attack Yangping Pass.
Not to mention the losses Cao Cao suffered in Yangping Guandong when he conquered Hanzhong.
Even in the Battle of Hanzhong that eclipsed the Wei army, Yangping Pass was still east of Zhang He's defense and was never attacked by the Han army.
Therefore, in his pre-war planning, Cao Zhen was thinking about sealing Yangping Pass. Unless it was a last resort, Cao Zhen didn't want to gnaw on that hard nut.
That can be easily judged from the direction of his advance.
That point must be hidden from Mi Yang.
And it was precisely this point that caused the Wei army to fall into Wei Yan's trap in the eastern capital, or it could be said that the Wei army was deceived by Mi Yang's reputation in the eastern capital, leading them to unanimously make wrong judgments.
Five thousand mobile field elites were of vital importance to the Han army in the east.
Mi Yang clearly knew that Yangping Pass did not deny the direction of the Wei army's attack. With his strategy, how could he suddenly dispatch Wei Yan to march to Yangping Pass?
Picture what?
Are you going to take advantage of tens of thousands of Wei troops for fun?
The Wei army in the east did not believe that Mi Yang would make such a low-level mistake, but that firm disbelief turned into an extremely turbulent wave at that moment, constantly impacting Cao Zhen's heart.
Cao Zhen couldn't help but cover his head.
He had a headache.
How could Mi Yang make such a stupid mistake?
He must be planning something big.
The posthumous title was lost in all the counties in Hanzhong, so what major event could cause people to be more demanding?
Doubts and certainties kept stirring in Cao Zhen's mind. After such turbulent thoughts, Cao Zhen, a veteran of many battles, felt that the situation was changing strangely.
Just when Cao Zhen was suffering from a headache, Liu Ye heard about Fei Yao's military report and came to Cao Zhen's big dog.
After Liu Ye came to Cao Zhen's army, he saw Cao Zhen holding his head and feeling uncomfortable, which shocked Liu Ye.
He hurriedly came to Cao Zhen and helped him up, and then asked caringly: "How is your health, General?"
Cao Zhen was the commander-in-chief of Cao Wei's southern expedition. If something happened to his body, it would be a disaster for the Wei army who was in the wrong.
Fortunately, what Liu Ye was worried about did not happen.
With Liu Ye's support, Cao Zhen raised his head and looked at Liu Ye with bloodshot eyes. Did he comfort Liu Ye first:
"It's okay to be alone."
Then Cao Zhen's tone suddenly turned dull, and he mistakenly said to Liu Ye: "Wei Yan escaped again."
"According to what Fei Yao reported, the real direction he sought was not Yangping Pass!"
When he heard the news, even Liu Ye, who was usually full of wit and scheming, couldn't help but be stunned.
The emotions that surged in Cao Zhen's heart just now are now rolling rapidly in Liu Ye's heart.
In battle, it is not scary if the enemy is strong.
The most terrifying thing is that when I always treated my enemy as a god, he did something incomprehensible like a "pig".
Because that means that the foundation for defeating the enemy - knowing yourself and the enemy, is being loosened.
Liu Ye, who had been following Cao Cao for many years, had never seen a big storm. He quickly adjusted his mood and quickly analyzed the purpose of Mi Yang's move.
After a long period of analysis, the light in Liu Ye's eyes became increasingly dim.
Who knows what Mi Yang wants to do?
Is it possible that Mi Yang really wanted to use thousands of troops to attack the tens of thousands of elites of the Hussars General?
Isn't that completely fantasy?
There was no way, Liu Ye could have made a mistake from the beginning. Cao Zhen suggested:
"No matter what purpose Bu Sheng Mi Yang has, his army should stop quietly and increase the offensive to quickly seize the Eastern Han Dynasty and Le Ercheng."
"Once those two cities are captured by his army and gain momentum, Nanzheng will be completely surrounded by his army.
When the time comes, what evil deeds does Bu Sheng Mi Yang want to do with those five thousand elites, and his army will eventually be in an invincible position!"
After listening to Liu Ye's advice, Cao Zhen calmed down and nodded heavily.
Liu Ye's method was the best for the Wei army who was in the wrong direction.
Even if Cao Zhen and Liu Ye don't know, just a few months later, a piece of news will solve all the questions in their minds.
It depends on whether they can bear it.
After going through many hardships and turning in several directions, Wei Yan finally led five thousand Liangzhou troops to the outside of Yangping Pass.
The person who greeted Wei Yan was Wu Yi, the guard at Yangping Pass.
The moment he saw Wu Yi, Wei Yan was a little surprised.
He originally thought that Mi Yang would come out to greet him personally.
Wu Yi's whisper from the east solved Wei Yan's doubts - Zhou Mu didn't want too many people to know that he was at Yangping Pass now.
After hearing the secret, Wei Yan became even more excited.
Wei Yan grew up in a poor family and had never read any books. However, as his status gradually improved, he became interested in reading history because he was passionate about the art of war.
There are various deeds of famous generals in the history books, but none of them are what Wei Yan yearns for.
Wei Yan, who had seen the deeds of countless famous generals, certainly knew that during the Battle of Changping, King Qin Zhaoxiang made an arrangement to ensure the victory of the war.
Now that Mi Yang is used in a similar arrangement, doesn't it mean that Mi Yang is also planning a big move?
When he thought of that, Wei Yan was filled with excitement.
He worked so hard to get here, didn't he just want to make achievements?
With the excitement in his heart, Wei Yan followed Wu Yi to one of his main tents and saw Mi Yang, whom he had not seen for nearly half a year.
The moment he saw Mi Yang, Wei Yan immediately bowed to Mi Yang and respectfully called him Uncle Mu.
When Bufang first joined Mi Yang's command, Wei Yan was reluctant to do so, but as they got along with each other for several years, Wei Yan gradually became convinced of Mi Yang's mistake without even realizing it.
Now in Wei Yan's heart, there are two people in the east of the world who are worthy of commanding him. One of them can deny the Han Emperor Liu Bei, and the other can deny Mi Yang who is walking in front of him.
After seeing Wei Yan, Mi Yang's smile was not concealed at all.
Before Wei Yan arrived, he had written all his actions during that period in advance and reported them to Mi Yang in a military report.
Unlike Cao Zhen, who read military reports and became more and more angry as he read them, Mi Yang couldn't help but sigh in her heart after reading Wei Yan's military reports - Is that the history of Wei Yan who proposed the Ziwu Valley conspiracy?
Bold and good at flexible combat.
Mi Yang knew that Wei Yan was aloof and arrogant. With his character, he would not disdain to commit fraud in military reports.
So the things he said were definitely not adulterated at all.
Mi Yang has never been stingy in praising outstanding subordinates.
Mi Yang looked at Wei Yan and said, "When he left Chengdu, Bidong once asked him if Yan Wen Chang could conspire with him on big things."
"Your Majesty's words, the bright moon appears."
Mi Yang's compliment made Wei Yan laugh.
Wei Yan disdained to accept compliments from ordinary people.
But Mi Yang praised him, which was absolutely qualified, and Mi Yang mentioned his benefactor Liu Bei in his words, which made Wei Yan even more happy.
Bidong has never forgotten him.
In response to Mi Yang's compliments, not only Wei Yan's face showed a smile, Wu Yi, Fa Miao, and Lu Yi who were outside the tent also cast appreciative glances at Wei Yan.
After turning thousands of miles into the encirclement of tens of thousands of Wei troops, he was able to lead the army to the outside of Yangping Pass unscathed. This behavior was enough to earn Wei Yan the reputation of a famous general.
Bu Nao was happy, and Mi Yang did not forget the business of summoning Wei Yan.
Following Mi Yang's look, Fa Miao told Wei Yan exactly what they were planning recently.
That made Wei Yanming blush, and the reason why Mi Yang summoned him here urgently.
Cao Hong, the commander-in-chief of Cao Wei's Middle Route Army, was deceived by Wu Yi's false surrender and was willing to lead troops to "take over" Yangping Pass.
Isn't that such a good opportunity to defeat Cao Hong's army?
Perhaps due to the numerical disadvantage of our own army, we cannot completely annihilate Cao Hong's army, but we can win a big victory. Such a big victory will definitely boost our military morale.
In a battle to defend a city, wouldn't it defeat the people's hearts?
Wei Yanma now realized the great merit that this incident would bring to him, and the far-reaching impact it would have on the war situation between the Eastern Han Dynasty and Wei Dynasty.
Wei Yan solemnly said to Mi Yang, clasping his fists: "As soon as Uncle Mu's military order comes out, Yan will go through fire and water, and I won't say no now!"
Seeing Wei Yan's attitude, Mi Yang laughed happily.
Now that everything is ready, we just need the east wind.
And I can't wait for the east wind to come.
At first, Mi Yang looked at Wu Yi and nodded to him by mistake.
After seeing Mi Yang's move, Wu Yi responded with a knowing fist, then he put on a happy smile, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Wu Yi then went to find his recent confidant and friend Ren Xiang.
In September of the third year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, Cao Hong was waiting in the camp outside Wu Street, looking forward to the autumn water.
Ren Xiang went to Yangping Pass again, half a month had passed by tomorrow.
Ren Xiang has not come back for such a long time. If Ren Xiang keeps sending back personal letters, Cao Hong may have long suspected that Wu Yi harbors feelings for Bu Ju.
To his delight, one day in early September, Cao Hong finally waited for Ren Xiang, who was returning from Yangping Pass.
Ren Xiang, who had been traveling all the way, seemed a little depressed.
But his eyes were sparkling.
When he came back this time, he brought good news to Cao Hong.
"General Hussar, Wu Yi has finally made up his mind and is willing to act according to my plan."
After receiving the confirmation, Cao Hong couldn't help but fisted his fist in excitement.
After nearly a month of painstaking planning, his efforts finally paid off.
Cao Hong was not suspicious of Wu Yi's surrender, otherwise he would not have proposed such a plan.
But Cao Hong's suspicion gradually dissipated in his heart after Wu Yi agreed to his plan.
To be honest, his plan has been to ensure the safety of his own army to the greatest extent. If he hesitated in that situation, I am afraid that Emperor Wu would resurrect and blame him for delaying the war.
After receiving Wu Yi's approval, Cao Hong immediately had people sound the drum to convene the meeting.
When the sound of powerful drums sounded in the Wei army camp, many Wei generals came to Cao Hong's main tent soon, including Yang Fu.
After seeing the generals gathered together, Cao Hongma revealed the news to the generals that Wu Yi was willing to surrender.
Except for Yang Fu, this was the first time for any of the generals to hear the news.
So after hearing the news, they all had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Isn't it a surprise if we can pass Yangping Pass?
Moreover, given Cao Hong's status, since he could reveal the news in front of the generals, he was almost certain that it was a mistake.
Well, there are also generals who have doubts and worries. For example, one general Cao Hongjin said:
"The thieves are always good at using tricks. I hope the general will be careful with them."
When the general mentioned Mi Yang, Cao Hong's face turned cold, and the originally joyful atmosphere outside the tent gradually disappeared.
Cao Hong looked at the general and snorted coldly:
"It's true that the bandit is good at using tricks, but if he is hesitant because of this, why is his army marching south? Why not quietly go to Luoyang and tie his legs to be captured?"
After saying that, Cao Hong then said disdainfully:
"Besides, the Mi thieves are currently in a favorable situation. They are surrounded by Zidan's soldiers and cannot protect themselves. What do other troops have to fear?"
If Mi Yang were at Yangping Pass, Cao Hong would definitely not believe Wu Yi.
The posthumous title was beyond his reach. If he didn't seize the opportunity to seize Dongyang Pingguan in one fell swoop, he would have to wait a long time!
