Chapter 462: Unprecedented troops, Cao Hong retreats
When Mi Yang said that he wanted to defeat Cao Zhen's army, Wu Yi and others present could not understand Mi Yang's deep meaning for a moment.
Faced with the danger of being attacked by enemy forces from both sides, isn't it the best choice for Dangdong to hold on to Yangping Pass?
Wu Yi quickly asked the questions in his mind.
After hearing Wu Yi's question, Mi Yang answered with a smile: "Cao Zhen and Fei Yao's armies suddenly marched towards Yangping Pass. Do you want to know through some channels what happened between his army and Cao Hong? His main purpose is
I want to intimidate other troops and prevent them from making rash moves."
"Of course, if his army had not exposed its flaws, Cao Zhen's army would have launched a violent attack at Yangping Pass as Duke Wu expected."
"Now that we have roughly judged the intention of Cao Zhen and Fei Yao's army, then their army can take advantage of it."
"What Duke Wu is worried about is that if his army concentrates on attacking Cao Hong by mistake, then the back of the pass will be empty; if his army concentrates on attacking Cao Zhen by mistake, then the front of the pass will be empty.
But what if one of the two armies suddenly leaves?"
Hearing Mi Yang's words, Wu Yi and the four people present were stunned again.
If one of the armies suddenly leaves, then the Han army outside Yangping Pass can concentrate on one place and no longer have to worry about anything.
How to do that?
The four people present looked at Mi Yang.
Seeing everyone's doubtful looks, Mi Yang continued with a smile: "If Cao Zhen marched into Yangping Pass for Cao Hong, then he would definitely not retreat without knowing the safe retreat of Cao Hong's army.
But Cao Hong's army was not like that. They didn't know that Cao Zhen's army was about to reach Yangping Pass.
If he had taken the initiative to reveal some flaws at that time, alerting Cao Hong, or even taking the initiative to let Cao Hong realize that he was outside Yangping Pass, do you think Cao Hong would have left immediately with his army?"
Is that useful to ask?
The reason why Cao Hong was willing to believe Wu Yi's request to surrender was, firstly, whether he believed Wu Yi's sincerity, and secondly, because Mi Yang was not in Yangping Pass now?
If once Cao Hong knew that Mi Yang was outside the Yangping Pass, and asked Cao Hong not to be stupid, he would react instantly and whether Wu Yi's request to surrender was a scam.
And with the bloody case of Cao Ren being faked into surrender, would Cao Hong dare to spy on Yangping Pass?
Of course you wouldn't dare.
Because ordinary people would think that since Mi Yang was at Yangping Pass, there must be heavy troops gathered in Yangping Pass.
The dangerous terrain of Yangping Pass is famous throughout the world, and after learning that Mi Yangluan Rong soldiers were guarding the pass, who would be stupid enough to let the soldiers die.
Moreover, Yangping Pass was originally not part of the Wei army's attack plan, so after learning that Wu Yi's request to surrender to Yangping Pass was a scam, Cao Hong would most likely lead his army to retreat quickly and attack Qishan instead.
At most, he would just curse Mi Yang for being treacherous before leaving.
After Mi Yang's words, the four people present quickly understood what Mi Yang meant.
If Cao Hong's army retreats, wouldn't Cao Zhen be the only enemy at Yangping Pass?
The faces of Wu Yi and others gradually showed smiles.
If they were attacked from both front and rear, they would naturally worry about the safety of Yangping Pass. But if they were to face Cao Zhen's army, then with the eight thousand Han troops outside the pass, they would not be worried.
Does this ensure the safety of Yangping Pass? It does not mean that Cao Zhen's army can be defeated.
Seeing that the faces of Wu Yi and the four others were showing doubts again, Mi Yang quickly solved their doubts.
"Don't forget that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen's army cannot communicate at all times, which means that Cao Zhen will not know immediately about the retreat of Cao Hong's army.
If only he didn't know about that, then in his mind he would always think that his army in the east would be in a situation of being attacked from both sides by his army, which would make Cao Zhen underestimate the enemy.
In addition, Cao Zhen did not come to rescue Cao Hong's army. If his army mistakenly sent out the message that Cao Zhen was ambushing Cao Hong's army, Cao Zhen would definitely not leave it alone."
"To attack the enemy, attack the heart first. Cao Zhen's army not only underestimates the enemy, but also has the heart to worry about it. How difficult is it for his army to be defeated by relying on the terrain of Yangping Pass?"
When Mi Yang revealed his plan, Wu Yi and the others felt as if a new world had appeared in their minds.
Before, the four of them were immersed in the dilemma of how to divide their forces to resist the two Wei armies. Mi Yang jumped out of that dilemma, like a manipulator on the outside, using a novel idea to help the Han Dynasty.
The army opened a new way out.
Mi Yang was using his unique thinking to profoundly explain to the four people present the principle of the impermanence of war.
If you want to do that, you must open up your mind.
Wu Yi looked at Mi Yang, who was smiling and full of confidence, and his face looked particularly flushed.
That's wrong. Mi Yang, who has that kind of thinking, should reject General Red Deer, who is famous throughout the world for his uncanny conspiracies.
Seeing that the four people present agreed with his idea, Mi Yang opened his mouth and gave instructions to the four people present on their respective tasks one by one.
No matter how good the idea is, it still depends on the specific implementation steps of Jie Donglai to see if there will be any mistakes.
And it depends on the four of them, Wu Yi.
After Cao Hong led 30,000 Wei troops to a plain area ten miles away from Yangping Pass, he ordered the entire army to set up camp.
The distance of more than ten miles from Yangping Pass was actually not conducive to the implementation of the plan between him and Wu Yi.
However, if the Wei army continues to advance, the Wei army will gradually enter the steep mountain roads. Such terrain conditions will not be conducive to the battle of large armies.
Cao Hong's psychology is contradictory.
On the one hand, he was willing to believe Wu Yi, so he led the army to the outside of Yangping Pass.
But as he got closer and closer to Yangping Pass, the doubts in Cao Hong's heart that had been suppressed by him began to gradually revive.
Regardless of how steadfastly he swore in front of the generals, Cao Ren's case has always been like a mountain weighing on his heart. He mistakenly asked Wu Yi to surrender, and there was doubt in his heart.
Otherwise, he would not be wrong to ask Wu Yi for such a request.
The conflicting mentality made Cao Hong choose to set up camp in open terrain.
That at least ensured the safety of the Wei army.
After setting up camp, Cao Hong waited outside the tent for the arrival of Wu Yi's envoy.
According to the previous agreement between him and Wu Yi, when Wu Yi learned the news that he was leading his army, Wu Yi would take the initiative to send an envoy to contact him.
There was no surprise at that point. In the second month, Wu Yi's envoy quietly came outside the Wei army's camp to ask for an audience.
After learning that Wu Yi's envoy had arrived, Cao Honglian went to summon him.
When Wu Yi's envoy saw Cao Hong, he Dangdong took out Wu Yi's letter from his arms and presented it to Cao Hong.
Cao Hong originally received Wu Yi's letter with a normal expression, but when he saw the contents of Wu Yi's letter, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
But Cao Hong didn't let his expression continue to change. After reading the contents of the letter in his lap as if nothing had happened, he asked Wu Yi's envoy to retreat to the east.
After Wu Yi's envoy left, Cao Hong immediately summoned Ren Xiang.
Ren Xiang came to Cao Hong soon after.
Ren Xiang guessed whether Cao Hong could summon him because of Wu Yi's matter, so he thought Cao Hong's face should be happy, but he didn't expect that when he saw Cao Hong, he saw Cao Hong frowning.
In front of Ren Xiang, Cao Hong did not hide his true emotions.
And the reason why he frowned was because he saw a hint of danger in Wu Yi's letter just now.
He had previously made an agreement with Wu Yi, and after he led the army to Yangping Pass, the two of them would continue to discuss the matter of offering the pass in the coming month.
But in Wu Yi Mingyue's letter, Wu Yi's tone was quite urgent, as if he wanted him to quickly lead the army into the mountain road.
Wu Yi's huge change in attitude made Cao Hong, who was already suspicious, even more uneasy.
After Cao Hong saw Ren Xiang arriving, he mistakenly expressed his suspicions about Wu Yi.
After hearing Cao Hong's suspicion, Wu Yi couldn't help but doubt whether Ren Xiang was wrong or not.
I want to know whether Wu Yi's attitude was quite ambiguous and hesitant when he was discussing with Wu Yi before, but now he suddenly became anxious. How come there is something wrong with him?
Just relying on a letter alone is not enough to judge that Wu Yi's request for surrender must be fraudulent.
After all, Cao Hongdu has led his army outside Yangping Pass, and he was so confident in front of the generals before. If he suddenly abandons Yangping Pass because of doubts, it will be a big blow to his reputation.
So Cao Hong wants Ren Xiang to enter Yangping Pass again and continue to explore the truth outside the pass.
Ren Xiang was Cao Hong's brother-in-law, and of course he would not refuse Cao Hong's orders.
After bidding farewell to Cao Hong, he quickly arrived outside Yangping Pass.
Since it was Ren Xiang's first time outside Yangping Pass, he quickly met Wu Yi on familiar roads.
Wu Yicuo seemed a little surprised and panicked when Ren Xiang arrived, but he soon showed a look of joy on his face.
Wu Yi continued to invite Ren Xiang to live outside the Pass, and to see if it showed that he did not value Ren Xiang, he chose to sleep on the same bed with Ren Xiang in the morning.
If it hadn't happened before, it wouldn't be surprising that Ren Xiang misunderstood Wu Yi.
But Ren Xiang came here with doubts, and he noticed the panic look on Wu Yi Mingyue's face, so now Ren Xiang could not help but feel that Wu Yi's behavior of sleeping on the same bed was not a sign of disrespect, but a sign of disrespect.
kind of surveillance.
In that state of mind, even late at night, Ren Xiangji never really fell asleep.
On the contrary, Wu Yi beside him was snoring like thunder.
Otherwise, everything would be ruined by the sound of the second watch.
When the second watch drum sounded, Wu Yi's snoring stopped immediately.
Ren Xiang was not asleep at all, so the unusual scene made him wary.
Sure enough, Ren Xiang, who had his eyes closed, felt Wu Yi standing up next to him. After Wu Yi stood up, he tried to push Ren Xiang slightly, as if he was checking whether he was asleep.
Facing Wu Yi's temptation, Ren Xiangzhuqi continued to pretend to be asleep.
Seeing whether Ren Xiang really fell asleep, Wu Yi tiptoed to the outside of the tent, and then some small whispers came outside the tent.
After Ren Xiang heard the whispers, he was in no mood to pretend to be asleep. He hurriedly got up and sneaked to the outside of the tent to eavesdrop on the conversation between Wu Yi and the visitor.
Because there was a curtain between them, Ren Xiang finally heard clearly the conversation between Wu Yi and the visitor.
Could it be that the first words he heard almost scared Ren Xiang to death.
This sentence means that Wu Yi respectfully addressed the visitor as "Uncle Mu."
Apart from Mi Yang, who in Dangdong could be called Mu Bo by Wu Yi?
Ren Xiang instantly realized a terrible fact: Mi Yang was now outside Yangping Pass.
After realizing that, many terrible conjectures poured into Ren Xiang's mind, making him almost fall to the ground in fright.
And just when Ren Xiang was frightened, Wu Yi's words proved the terrible suspicion in Ren Xiang's heart:
"Uncle Mu, don't worry. He has elite troops gathered outside the pass, and Cao Hong is unprepared. If he dares to lead his army into the mountain road of Yangping Pass, he will definitely make him splash three feet with blood!"
After saying that, Wu Yi said some more words to Mi Yang, but Ren Xiang could no longer listen to those words. He was so frightened that he hurried back to the bed and pretended to sleep again.
Everything is a scam!
A scam that could kill tens of thousands of Wei troops just like the Battle of Xicheng!
Thinking of that, Ren Xiang, who was lying on the couch, was so frightened that his body shook slightly.
The shaking of his body suddenly stopped soon after Wu Yi came back.
After Wu Yi returned to the bed, he called Ren Xiang softly a few times to make sure it was safe. When he saw no response from him, he went back to sleep peacefully.
Accompanied by Wu Yi's loud snoring, Ren Xiang was completely sleepless that night.
Early in the morning of the second month, Ren Xiang asked Wu Yi to say goodbye.
Because of Ren Xiang's farewell, Wu Yi pretended to say a few words and then agreed.
Just when Ren Xiang turned around, Wu Yi looked at Ren Xiang's back, and a smile inadvertently appeared on his lips.
Ren Xiang returned to the Wei army camp at the fastest speed in his life, and then he immediately asked to see Cao Hong.
The moment he saw Cao Hong, Ren Xiang didn't even have time to be polite, so he panicked and told Cao Hong the truth he had discovered:
"Mi Yang is at Yangping Pass!"
There is no need to tell too much about what happened last night, just that sentence made Cao Hong stand up from his seat in shock.
Now Cao Hong's mind keeps echoing Ren Xiang's words:
Mi Yang is at Yangping Pass?
Isn't Cao Hong a stupid person? That piece of news alone was enough for Cao Hong to understand all the truth in an instant.
With Mi Yang's prestige and intelligence, could Wu Yin surrender at Dongxianguan under his nose?
That is simply ridiculous.
At that moment, Cao Hong couldn't help but think of the battle in Xicheng that broke his heart.
In that battle, his good brother Cao Ren, the pillar of Cao Wei, died in battle.
Such tragic results made every minister of Cao Wei feel sad.
Now when he knows that Mi Yang wants to repeat his old tricks, how does Cao Hong feel in his heart?
What a feeling!
With Mi Yang's legs, once he sets up a plan to kill him, he will definitely be fully prepared.
The only way to protect yourself is to prevent yourself from getting into that killing situation.
After a moment, Cao Hong shouted loudly:
"Quickly gather all the generals and ask for a retreat!"
At that moment, any beautiful thoughts about taking Dongyang Pingguan disappeared in Cao Hong's heart.
Cao Hong now has an idea in his mind - the ones from Liyangping and Guanyuanji should be chopped well over Yuanyuan!
