Chapter 461 The situation is unfavorable and ingenious
A few months after Ren Xiang left Yangping Pass, the news that tens of thousands of Wei troops marched toward Yangping Pass was reported to Wu Yi by a scout.
Since Wu Yi learned about it through the channels of scouts, then the news could not be hidden, and of course Wu Yi did not want to hide it.
Soon the news was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing huge ripples in Yangping Pass.
Previously, when the news of hundreds of thousands of Wei troops marching south spread, Mi Yang also held a meeting in Nanzheng.
During that discussion, the generals of Bubu Miyang and Bubu Legdong all believed that the Wei army would not spend a lot of effort to attack Yangping Pass.
That judgment cannot be wrong. Did Cao Zhen really intend to do so at the beginning?
Things on the Bu Nao battlefield were changing rapidly, which led to the situation in Dangdong.
Compared with Mi Yang, Wu Yi and others had a plan. When most of the guards and soldiers outside Yangping Pass learned the news, their first reaction was due to Mi Yang's judgment.
Not surprised.
No one would have doubted Mi Yang's personal judgment before.
No matter how strong the elite soldiers are, they are not human beings. When something goes beyond their expectations, especially when something like that represents a great danger, it is human nature to feel panicked.
Fortunately, thanks to strict military discipline, the chaotic emotions stirred up in his heart and did not turn into dangerous concrete actions.
As the commander-in-chief of Yangping Pass, Wu Yi quickly noticed the unsettled situation of the troops outside Yangping Pass.
After learning about the situation, Wu Yi privately begged Mi Yang to come forward to appease the morale of the troops outside the pass.
After all, although the defenders of Yangping Pass have not yet been dispatched, Wu Yi knows that unstable military morale is always a taboo for military strategists.
And Wu Yi also knew that with Mi Yang's prestige, if he asked him to appear in front of the sergeants, the unstable military morale in Yandong would be quelled soon.
There is no doubt about that.
Mi Yang was naturally aware of Wu Yi's concerns, but Mi Yang did not agree to Wu Yi's request.
He rejected Wu Yi with the words "the time has not come yet".
Mi Yang's refusal was based on his own considerations. Seeing that Mi Yang was unwilling to explain, Wu Yi did not dare to give any more advice, so he asked Mi Yang what he should do next.
Upon hearing Wu Yi's inquiry, Mi Yang said naturally: "Although Cao Hong of the Ming Dynasty was lured here by me, he brought tens of thousands of elite Wei troops."
"Looking at the total strength of his army outside the pass, there are eight thousand. If we remove part of the garrison force that cannot be transferred, the field army that his army can use is the five thousand army brought by Wen Chang.
Five thousand to tens of thousands, if they don't fight openly and openly, his army will definitely not be Cao Hong's enemy.
If you want to defeat Cao Hong's tens of thousands of Wei troops, you can only use the dangerous terrain of Yangping Pass to ambush, and you can achieve miraculous results.
And Yangpingguan has always had no shortage of dangerous terrain.
I can send a messenger out of the city to contact Cao Hong and agree with him on a monthly date for a joint uprising.
In that month, I led two thousand elite troops out of the city to pretend to join him, and he asked Wen Chang to ambush three thousand troops in the surrounding mountains.
After Cao Hong lowers his guard and follows you into the ambush circle, I can suddenly raise my troops to sneak attack on his central army. Chang Wen will also lead the ambush troops to the east to join me at the right time.
The Wei army's formation will definitely be in a panic if they calculate it mentally or not. In addition, the situation is not in the other army's favor, so it is not difficult to defeat Cao Hong."
At this point, Mi Yang not only stated the specific tactics in his mind, but also stated his plan for that battle.
Just as Liu Ye expected, Mi Yang's goal was not to annihilate Cao Hong's army. Without enough troops, the idea of wiping out Cao Hong's army was unrealistic.
The reason why Mi Yang wanted to lure Cao Hong to lead his army was because he wanted to win a big victory over Cao Hong to boost the morale of the troops outside Liangzhou.
Even though he was outside Yangping Pass, with Si Wencao's presence, Mi Yang's intelligence channel was not blocked.
During that time, Mi Yang often received battle reports about the city being lost.
Although those cities were not considered important, Mi Yang could see that the Wei army was planning to turn against the guests.
We have to say whether the Wei army's strategy of turning against foreigners was effective.
Even when the Eastern Han Dynasty was seeking fortifications, not a single city was lost, but as more and more cities were lost, the Wei army gradually formed an encirclement trend in Hanzhong.
The most important thing is that after the news gradually spread, the people's hearts in Liangzhou were also quietly changing.
No one seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.
After knowing all the information that was detrimental to his own side, how could Mi Yang not feel worried?
Just to appease people's hearts, he never showed a worried look on his face.
And a great victory against the Wei army was enough to reverse the increasingly unfavorable situation in Dangdong against the Han army.
After listening to Mi Yang's tactics, Wu Yi nodded. Mi Yang's tactics were very appropriate.
But it's also quite satisfactory.
That made Wu Yi feel a little disappointed.
Mi Yang's fame relies on cunning schemes. Wu Yi originally thought that during that war, Mi Yang arranged some cunning schemes that shocked the world, but it turned out that he did not.
Maybe Mi Yang's expectations were too high, which is why Wu Yi felt that way.
Wu Yi secretly dispelled the small thoughts in his heart, and then stood up and headed outside the tent to arrange everything.
Not long after Wu Yi left, Mi Yang's confidant Wang Hong walked in with an anxious look on his face.
Seeing Wang Hong coming in with an anxious expression, Mi Yang had a bad intuition in her heart.
Wang Hong was regarded as his earliest personal minister. After establishing Si Wen Cao, Mi Yang asked Wang Hong to make the long history of Si Wen Cao.
Wang Hong's ability is average, but his loyalty is unspeakable.
He ignored anyone who was wrongly placed by Mi Yang into Si Wen Cao.
Under Wang Hong's understanding and with the help of those good assistants, Wang Hong also managed Si Wen Cao in an orderly manner.
Since Wang Hong is currently the intelligence chief of Liangzhou, Mi Yang usually takes Wang Hong with him wherever he goes. This is why Mi Yang can always grasp the first-hand information.
Wang Hong collected the battle reports of the lost cities and lands in the past and sent them to Mi Yang personally.
So when Wang Hong came out with another piece of information in his hands and an anxious look on his face, Mi Yang's first reaction was no - which city was lost?
Mi Yang even beckoned with his legs, asking Wang Hong to present the information in his legs.
When Mi Yang opened his legs and looked at the information, the worry in his heart could no longer be suppressed and appeared directly on his face.
Even in that worried look, there was a bit of surprise.
There are experts in the Wei army!
But Mi Yang soon regained his composure, and in a low tone he mistakenly ordered Wang Hong: "Summon Wu Yi, Fa Miao, Lu Yi, and Wei Yan quickly."
Although Mi Yang didn't show any urgency, Wang Hong didn't dare to delay at all. After bowing to Mi Yang by mistake, he walked out of the big swelling dog.
After Wang Hong's summons, Wu Yi was the first to return outside the tent. He had not gone very far just now.
Wu Yi didn't understand why Mi Yang suddenly called him back, but after he entered the Great Expansion Blade, Mi Yang refused to let him go east first without any other words.
So Wu Yi could temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart.
After a while, Fa Miao and the other three people also arrived outside Da Zhang Quan.
When Wu Yi and four others arrived, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Mi Yang had never let the news of his presence at Yangping Pass leak out before, and rarely took the initiative to summon the four of them at the same time.
Mi Yang Mingyue's abnormal behavior made them instantly realize that Mi Yang must have something to discuss with them.
Sure enough, when the four of them were seated, Mi Yang informed Wu Yi and the others of the news he had just received.
Mi Yang received the news that Fei Yao and Cao Zhen were quickly leading their troops to Yangping Pass.
When Wu Yi and the others learned the news, they were not as calm as Mi Yang, and their faces showed great surprise.
All four of them knew the reason why Cao Hong suddenly led his army to Yangping Pass.
Is it true that Cao Zhen is very powerful like Fei Yao?
Didn't they regard Yangping Pass as the target of attack from the beginning? Why did they suddenly stop attacking other cities and lead their troops to Yangping Pass instead?
The unexpected news deeply puzzled Wu Yi and the others, and also made them very worried.
From the outside, it looked like Cao Hong and Cao Zhen had planned ahead and marched towards Yangping Pass together.
That thought made Wu Yi and the others have a guess in their minds - could it be that Cao Hong had seen through their plan, so he deliberately used it and invited Cao Zhen to send troops to attack Yangping Pass together?
Wei Yan has an impatient personality, and he quickly told Mi Yang his suspicions.
After listening to Wei Yan's guess, Mi Yang thought for a while and then shook his head.
To be honest, that was what he had guessed at first.
But there was one fact that allowed Mi Yang to rule out that kind of speculation.
Otherwise, the transportation in this world is extremely backward.
Cao Hong's Middle Route Army and Cao Zhen's East Route Army were blocked by Yangping Pass. They tried to contact each other and had to send messengers across the rolling mountains.
In the rolling mountains, Cao Wei could walk on foot no matter how good his horses were.
In addition, just after the rainy season, many roads on the Hanzhong Mountain Road were muddy and difficult to navigate. If the army could not gather collective strength to eliminate such difficulties, how many people could be trusted to be envoys at most?
Under such unfavorable objective conditions, there was a delay of at least about ten months in the information communication between Cao Hong and Cao Zhen.
This is also one of the reasons why Wei Yanke led his army to break through before.
As for Cao Hong and Cao Zhen agreeing in advance on the date of the invasion, that is even more impossible.
Before Cao Hongdong decided to march towards Yangping Pass, Wu Yi struggled with him for many months.
Even if Cao Hong asked Cao Zhen to set a date in advance for marching to the east together, he should at least ask for an accurate message from Wu Yi.
Only a few months had passed since Ren Xiang brought back Wu Yi's accurate message.
But since Mi Yang could receive the news that Cao Zhen was sending troops, it proves that Cao Zhen started marching rapidly a few months ago, and the timing of the two parties was not wrong at all.
Based on that judgment, Mi Yang did not think that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen had planned in advance to march towards Yangping Pass, let alone that Cao Hong had seen through his intention.
Mi Yang is more inclined to the judgment that there are experts in Cao Wei.
After all, Cao Wei deserves to be number one in terms of talent reserves in this world.
Perhaps some talented person with a keen sense of smell realized his purpose of suddenly dispatching 5,000 elite troops from Wei Yan into Yangping Pass.
Mi Yangcuo and Cao Zhen knew that he was not an indecisive commander.
Looking through "Three Kingdoms", there are not a few talents with similar abilities during the Three Kingdoms period.
Otherwise, how could the Three Kingdoms be called an era that exhausted China's heroic spirit for hundreds of years?
Of course, there could be many reasons, and Mi Yang couldn't tell at the moment what caused Cao Zhen to suddenly rush to Yangping Pass in a hurry.
But Mi Yang wanted to know whether Cao Zhen and Cao Hong had colluded in advance.
Mi Yang informed the four people present, Wu Yi, of his judgment. After listening to Mi Yang's inference, Wu Yi and four others thought about it carefully and felt that Mi Yang's judgment was reasonable.
What's the point of trying to figure out whether or not you're wrong about the situation?
The mature and prudent Wu Yi said to Mi Yang:
"Uncle Mu, why did Cao Zhen suddenly march towards Yangping Pass? According to the intelligence, Cao Zhen brought a lot of troops, let alone that they would arrive at Yangping Pass in a few months.
"If Cao Zhen suddenly led his army to attack from behind the pass while his army was attacking Cao Hong's army in front of the pass with all its strength, Yangping Pass would have been in danger.
In Yi Yi's opinion, the opportunity to defeat Cao Hong's army has been lost. It is better to just defend Yangping Pass when his army comes from the east."
Wu Yi's suggestion was approved by Fa Miao and others. Even Wei Yan, who had always opposed attacking, did not speak out against it at that time.
Ordinary people may think that they can quickly lure Cao Hong into an ambush before Cao Zhen's army arrives, defeat Cao Hong's army, and then concentrate on defending Yangping Pass. Is that not feasible?
Because Cao Hong is not a fool.
Although Cao Hong's army was not far from Yangping Pass now, Cao Hong wanted to set up camp after arriving outside Yangping Pass.
The most important thing to ask for is that Wu Yi had told Cao Hong in his letter in order to delay time, that after General Hussar arrived with his army, he wanted to make detailed plans for the issue.
When Wu Yiruo suddenly changed his attitude and became anxious when his ambition was transferred, Cao Hong would definitely wake up.
In addition, Cao Zhen's army may take several months to arrive, but Fei Yao's army, which was originally leading the army outside Seoul, will have their vanguard appear behind the Yangping Pass at the earliest.
Yangping Guancuo, the big man asked too hard!
No one here wants to take the risk of losing Yangping Pass.
Wu Yi saw that Mi Yang didn't immediately agree after listening to his suggestion. He thought that Mi Yang didn't want to give up that great opportunity, so he thought of making another suggestion.
Wu Yi's words were barely spoken, so Mi Yang nodded and said, "What Mr. Wu said makes sense."
Seeing Mi Yang expressing that attitude, several people present couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
But the words from Dong who came to Mi Yang from the east made Wu Yi and others stunned.
"If his army missed Cao Hong's army, he might have lost a good opportunity to attack. Can he miss Cao Zhen's army, which came from a thousand miles away?"
Speaking of that, Mi Yang's face showed a smile.
In the view of Wu Yi and others, it is of little use to judge that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen are not colluding and mistaking the battle situation in the east.
Because Yangping Pass will be trapped by two armies at any time.
But for Mi Yang, it's not like that.
Because that point means that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen do not know the purpose of the wrong party!
Wouldn't that deny the Han army's chance?
Ming Yue has 2 chapters, can it be considered as making up for the debt due to previous illness?
