Chapter 463 Empty City Strategy
In September and December of the third year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, Cao Hong, the cavalry general of the Wei Dynasty, led tens of thousands of Wei troops to approach Yangping Pass.
In September and 14th of the third year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, Cao Hongdong, the hussar general of the Wei Dynasty, gave an order for tens of thousands of Wei troops to evacuate Yangping Pass.
In just two months, Cao Hong, the cavalry general of the Wei Dynasty, made a shocking and completely opposite decision.
Because Cao Hong's changes were so rapid, the Wei army's tents were demolished even before they were built.
This caused tens of thousands of Wei soldiers to complain, and also caused some people outside the army to criticize.
For example, Yang Fu.
The movement of the army is a matter of life and death. Since Wu Yi has decided to believe that he will advance to Yangping Pass, why did he come there?
Yang Fu, who felt that Cao Hong had messed up his life, immediately went to him angrily and asked about the reason.
Facing Yang Fu's inquiry, Cao Hong said coldly: "Mi Yang is at Yangping Pass."
After hearing those words, Yang Fu was extremely shocked and immediately left Cao Hong's tent and went to urge the soldiers of each battalion to leave the camp as soon as possible.
At a point far away from Yangping Pass, Yang Fu and Cao Hong turned around and managed to maintain this magnificent momentum.
The reason why Cao Hong and Yang Fu had that kind of reaction was inseparable from the fear of Mi Yang, but it was not solely due to that reason.
Just as Mi Yang predicted, the reason why Cao Hong wanted to capture Dongyang Pingguan was an unexpected attempt. Yangping Pass was not included in the Wei army's attack plan.
Therefore, after learning about the unexpected surprise and the possibility of intestinal poison, Cao Hong and Yang Fu had no reason to stay outside Yangping Pass.
They did not come to attack Hanzhong, nor did they come to Hanzhong to see the scenery.
Cao Hong's reaction did not exceed Mi Yang's expectations, and Mi Yang admitted that he had not expected anything.
Before Cao Qiaoqi broke camp and left Yangping Pass, perhaps for the purpose of saving face, or Yong Wanzhe simply wanted to vent his inner anger, he wrote a letter and ordered it to be handed over to Mi Yang.
In the letter, Cao Qiaoqi showed off to Mi Yang as a victor that he had seen through his plan, causing him to fail.
From Cao Qiaoqi's point of view, it would be a great victory if he was not plotted by Mi Yang.
After reading the letter, Mi Yang was not angry at Cao Hong's "ridicule".
He brought tens of thousands of Wei troops to the Yangping Pass for a two-month tour. When word came out about it, it was obvious that he suffered a loss. He had nothing to be angry about.
Mi Yang felt a little speechless.
In fact, Cao Pi cannot be entirely blamed for Cao Hong's misfortune in his later years.
After Cao Ang's death, Cao Pi denied that he was actually the eldest son of Cao Cao. With that status, Cao Pi went to Cao Hong to borrow money, but was rejected by Cao Hong. He just refused and publicized the matter.
With Cao Pi's ruthless character and petty personality, it would be strange if he didn't kill Cao Hong after he came to power.
And Cao Hong's letter further verified how low Cao Hong's emotional intelligence was.
But Cao Hong's letter also helped Mi Yang a lot.
Because of his low emotional intelligence, Cao Hong asked Yang Fu to co-sign the "demonstration letter".
As a time traveler, does Mi Yang know that there is a close relationship between Yang Fu and Jiang Wei?
With that letter here, wouldn't there be a reason to write to Jiang Wei?
After Mi Yang handed over the joint letter from Cao Hong and Yang Fu to Wu Yi and others for viewing, Wu Yi and others couldn't help but laugh.
That sneer came from the disdain in the outside world.
Cao Hong didn't know if Mi Yang wanted to let him go and look for bigger prey.
In the future, when Cao Hong learns about the secrets, he and Yang Fu will probably die of shame.
After a burst of laughter, Fa Miao reported Dangdong's latest military situation to Mi Yang.
In fact, in the second month after Cao Hong led his troops to Yangping Pass, Fei Yao had already led an army of 5,000 to arrive outside Yangping Pass.
The distance between Seoul and Yangping Pass is not far, and Cao Zhen urged him many times, so Fei Yao was able to rush outside Yangping Pass so quickly.
Compared to Cao Hong's caution, Fei Yao didn't care so much.
Cao Zhen made it very clear in his military order, telling Fei Yao to approach Yangping Pass as quickly as possible, so that Mi Yang would be able to use rat weapons and not dare to ambush Cao Hong's troops rashly.
Because it was unclear whether Cao Hong had reached outside Yangping Pass, Fei Yao led his army directly into the mountain road at Yangping Pass.
Fei Yao was a reckless person. After letting the army enter the mountain road, he directly began to take control of the East Village.
Although the surrounding steep terrain was not conducive to the full deployment of his five thousand troops, it was not easy for the Han army to rashly attack him with the protection of the camp.
After learning about Fei Yao's actions, Mi Yang was not surprised.
Although Fei Yao is not a famous general of Cao Zhen's level, he is still considered a veteran general. It is not surprising to have such an arrangement.
Wei Yan, who was outside the tent, saw that Mi Yang was not sure about Fei Yao's arrival, so he took the initiative to ask Mi Yang, "Do you need Yan to lead his army to defeat Fei Yao's troops for Mu Bo?"
Wei Yan certainly had the confidence to dare to say those words.
Although Fei Yao was in charge of the East Village, the construction of the camp could not be completed in a short time. If the Wei army launched an attack at that time, Wei Yan believed that with his bravery, he could defeat Fei Yao's army.
Wei Yan asked for a fight by mistake, but Mi Yang refused with a smile:
"Cao Hong was like a yellow bird. The reason why he let it fly away from his legs was to capture Cao Zhen, that is, a goshawk.
Fei Yao is even worse than Cao Hongdu at Yuanji. How can his army lose a big one because of a small one?
There is no need to scare off the enemy."
After hearing what Mi Yang said, Wei Yan gave up his intention to fight.
After Wei Yan retreated to the east, Wu Yi asked Mi Yang: "Fei Yao has already arrived with his army, and Cao Zhen's army is expected to arrive soon. I don't know how to deal with the other troops coming from the east."
When Mi Yang talked about the tactics to defeat Cao Zhen before, he said that the time difference between Cao Hong and Cao Zhen in communicating information could be used to mislead Cao Zhen and lure the enemy.
Maybe Mi Yang didn't explain how to do that in detail at that time, so Wu Yi asked this question.
When Wu Yi asked about this, Fa Miao and others outside the tent also turned their curious eyes to Mi Yang.
Cao Zhen is a famous general in the world, so successfully seducing him is not an easy task.
Facing the curious gazes of the four people, Mi Yang smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of the empty city strategy?"
When the words "empty city strategy" fell into the ears of Wu Yi and the others, Wu and Yi couldn't help but look at each other.
Empty City Strategy, what does it mean?
It is impossible to empty Yangping Pass and give it directly to Cao Zhen.
That idea not only appeared in Wu Yi's mind, but also Wei Yan and the other three, as the name suggests, also had that idea in their minds.
Among them, Wei Yan had the most irritable temperament, and he couldn't help but speak out his thoughts directly.
But as soon as Wei Yang finished speaking, not only himself, but also Wu Yi and others started laughing unconsciously.
So what about Cocoa?
The four of them regarded the idea as a joke.
Could it be that they discovered something good while smiling?
Mi Yang did not smile.
On the contrary, Mi Yang's face showed the expression that should be taken for granted.
Mi Yang's look directly caused Wu Yi and the others to fall into silence.
Is it really true?!
I can't hold it any longer, so I need to take a nap first.
I have to be at work at 11 o'clock. He never takes holidays.
That chapter was 2,000 words long, and I really owed 2,000 words. I didn’t want to cheat, so I added a chapter on Mingyue, and he would complete it with a 6,000-word chapter tomorrow night.
It will be posted before 12 am.
