Chapter 496: Trapped in the Heart, Feeling Like a Tiger
Mi Yang's change in mood quickly attracted the attention of everyone outside the hall.
But everyone didn't know what Mi Yang was thinking. They thought Mi Yang frowned deeply because of Xiao Mi Cheng's behavior.
Mi Yang's current status and reputation are extraordinary. When he is friendly, it is easy for others to feel like a spring breeze.
But if his expression becomes serious, the originally hidden aura around him will burst out quietly, causing people outside the hall to be so angry that they dare not vomit.
The serious atmosphere even affected Xiao Mi Cheng.
The ground outside the hall is paved with solid wood, which is very hard. Even though there is a layer of map on the ground as a buffer, the lack of raw materials in the world means that the map is not soft at all.
After Xiao Mi Cheng fell to the ground, he cried loudly due to the pain in his body, but after seeing Mi Yang's face, he was stunned and stopped crying silently after a few cries.
.
At that moment, there were occasionally a few uncontrollable sobbing sounds from Mi Cheng, quietly resounding in the lobby.
Fa Miao and others looked at each other in shock when they saw this. Although they were Mi Yang's confidants, it seemed that in Dangdong's situation, it was not easy for them to interfere in Mi Yang's housework.
Fortunately, there is a lot of people outside the hall, Guan Yan.
At that time, Guan Yan also thought that Xiao Mi Cheng's performance made Mi Yang unhappy, so she immediately came to Xiao Mi Cheng and hugged him into her arms, and then said to Mi Yang:
"I scared Cheng'er."
Guan Yan's tone suggested that Mi Yang was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Others are afraid of the serious Mi Yang, who is eager to protect his son, and Guan Yan, who was just adopted by Liu Bei last year, is also afraid.
There are rumors among the government and the public that Liu Bei is very interested in giving a certain place to Guan Yan as her food.
Guan Yan's scolding voice awakened Mi Yang from her deep thoughts.
Mi Yang, whose thoughts were drifting back from some important event, looked up and saw the expressions of everyone outside the east hall.
The embarrassment and restlessness of Fa Miao and others, the slight annoyance of Guan Yan and the shrinking of Xiao Mi Cheng.
Seeing that scene, combined with Guan Yan's accusation just now, Mi Yang immediately understood whether everyone had misunderstood him.
In front of her family, Mi Yang did not reveal her worries immediately.
With a smile on his face, he motioned for Guan Yan to hand over the little Mi Cheng in her arms to him.
Although Guan Yan was annoyed by what Mi Yang had done just now, she complied with Mi Yang's request without hesitation.
After the plump little Mi Cheng entered Mi Yang's arms, the smile on Mi Yang's face became even wider.
He stroked Xiao Mi Cheng's head with his legs, trying to soothe the anxiety in his heart.
As expected, Xiao Mi Cheng quickly forgot what had just happened under Mi Yang's caress. He directly turned around and hugged Mi Yang's neck, like a koala that was hanging on Mi Yang's body and refused to let go of his legs.
Xiao Mi Cheng's intimacy made Mi Yang laugh heartily.
How could he blame Xiao Mi Cheng for his unintentional mistake just now?
What's more, maybe Xiao Mi Cheng helped him a lot.
And Xiao Mi Cheng's move made Mi Yang's hard outer heart, which was accustomed to seeing blood, melt.
I saw little Mi Cheng playing with Mi Yang's beard for a while. He seemed to remember something and broke away from Mi Yang's arms.
Then he raised his diaper-covered butt, lying in front of Mi Yang with the map, and seemed to be scooping something up with his pink calves.
Xiao Mi Cheng's move not only surprised Mi Yang, but even Fa Miao and others looked surprised.
It turns out that little Mi Cheng was really thinking about asking for some soup to relieve the heat and give it to Mi Yang to drink. Now she is squatting on the ground, thinking about doing that "forcibly taking back the water".
That was very innocent, but it revealed the filial piety of Xiao Mi Cheng and Mi Yang.
After seeing Xiao Mi Cheng's performance, Mi Yang couldn't help laughing again. He stretched out his legs to hug Xiao Mi Cheng into his arms and teased him.
It was the first time in his two lives that he became a father, but only after becoming a father did he feel the joy of being a father.
Especially when the little Mi Chenghan, who is cooing and cooing, shows off the word "father", the sense of satisfaction brought by the blood connection is a joy that ordinary people can't imagine.
When everyone saw Mi Yang and Xiao Mi Cheng enjoying their family happiness, their faces also showed smiles.
Of all the people outside the hall, none of them have any heirs.
After teasing little Mi Cheng for a while, Mi Yang moved her legs to let Guan Yan go in front and let her take little Mi Cheng away from her arms.
When Guan Yan took little Mi Cheng away from Mi Yang's arms, she discovered that Mi Yang had some good energy.
Now Mi Yang's face was smiling nicely, but as the person beside her pillow, Guan Yan doubted whether Mi Yang knew anything about Mi Yang. After observing closely, she noticed something abnormal.
After realizing this, Guan Yan cast a worried look at Mi Yang.
When Mi Yang saw this, he smiled and put Xiao Mi Cheng into Guan Yan's lap, and then whispered to Guan Yan: "It doesn't matter, my husband is here."
Mi Yang's words made Guan Yan suddenly feel at ease.
So even though she had many things in her heart that she wanted to ask, she could not help but silently take Xiao Mi Cheng outside the hall.
After stepping out of the hall, Guan Yanyong glanced at Mi Yang.
When Guan Yan turned around, Mi Yang calmly swung her legs, causing the figures of Guan Yan and Xiao Mi Cheng to disappear outside the hall.
After Guan Yan and Xiao Mi Cheng disappeared, a firm belief emerged in Mi Yang's heart, and at the same time, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
That caught Fa Miao and the others off guard.
The general of Mingyue is a bit abnormal.
Bu Nao Fa Miao and the others quickly figured out why Mi Yang Mingyue was abnormal.
Mi Yang first looked at Lu Yi and asked, "When the rainy season came in previous years, was there any harm to the people near Nanzheng due to the Han River?"
Lu Yifu was in charge of Liangzhou's governance. In the past, he was mainly responsible for the specific handling of Liangzhou's government affairs. Therefore, if you ask him about this matter, he must be very clear about it.
When Lu Yi saw Mi Yang suddenly asking about something completely unrelated to the war in Dangdong, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
However, his rich political experience did not allow him to quickly answer Mi Yang: "During the rainy season in previous years, the Han River often overflowed and damaged people's fields."
After finishing that sentence, Lu Yi immediately added:
"Since the dams along the Han River are strong in Bu Nao, incidents like this are not too serious."
Lu Yi originally thought that his explanation would make Mi Yang feel relieved, but after listening to Lu Yi's explanation, Mi Yang no longer concealed the worry in his heart and showed it directly on his face.
"With dam protection, the Han River still overflows, but what if the dam is no longer there?"
Mi Yang uttered those words leisurely.
After hearing Mi Yang's words, everyone present was shocked.
Because Mi Yang's words revealed a very serious thing, or if that thing happened, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for them!
Wei Yan, who has a straightforward personality, spoke the fastest:
"General, do you mean that Cao Zhen will burst the embankment and release the water to flood Nanzheng?"
When asking about that sentence, Raofou's always bold Wei Yan couldn't help but feel frightened by his guess.
Mi Yang looked at Wei Yan and nodded heavily at his mistake.
Everyone didn't know why Mi Yang suddenly thought that the Wei army would adopt a water attack strategy, but because of Mi Yang's identity, if he had any guesses in that regard, then everyone had to pay attention to that issue.
And because the consequences if that conjecture came true were so serious, everyone here could not help but breathe quickly while thinking about it.
After a long silence, Zhou Tai, who had always been unknown, was the first to break the silence.
Zhou Tai had joined Mi Yang after the Battle of Xiangfan, and after testing Zhou Tai, Mi Yang felt that he was indeed a talent that could be developed, and had not hesitated to train him.
When Mi Yang became the shepherd of Liangzhou, Zhoutai was promoted to the magistrate of Nanzheng County. As the "Sili Xiaowei" of Liangzhou, Zhoutai's status in Liangzhou was already considered core.
The reason why Zhoutai was the first to speak is because Zhoutai is a person from Nanyang. There are rich water systems outside Nanyang. During the rainy season, Zhoutai is not unfamiliar with the issue of rivers overflowing.
Zhou Taicuo bowed to Mi Yang and then said: "The Han River is swimming in Nanzheng, and the Bao River flows outside the country. If the bandit army does not intend to break the embankment, it will indeed pose a huge threat to Nanzheng."
"However, although Nanzheng is located in a low-lying area, and more than 100,000 bandit troops are also located outside Nanzheng City, if the Han River bursts its banks, wouldn't it be a lose-lose situation for both parties?
Would the thieves really take such risks?"
There is no plain in Nanzheng's radius of hundreds of miles. It does not mean that there is not a single mountain, but there is certainly no mountain that can accommodate the army of more than 100,000 people.
In that case, if the Han River bursts its embankment and Nanzheng is in danger, where will the more than 100,000 Wei troops outside the city go?
At that time, the Han army outside Nanzheng City will be able to hold on for a while because they have the city to rely on, but the more than 100,000 northern landlubbers outside the city will probably have no way to survive.
Zhou Tai's confusion quickly aroused the resonance of several people present. This was indeed a contradiction that Wei Jun could not easily avoid.
Compared to the relaxed expressions on everyone's faces after hearing Zhou Tai's puzzlement, Mi Yang's face was still heavy.
Mi Yang knew if the Wei army really wanted to attack by water, whether they could do it while ensuring their own safety.
From ancient times to the present, water attack tactics have been rarely used, but there are some famous examples of water attack battles spread throughout the world.
From those battle examples, it can be concluded that there are basically two methods of water attack in ancient times, one is the "soaking method" and the other is the "city rushing method".
Of the two methods, whether the immersion method can avoid the situation mentioned by Zhou Tai? It is not the method that Cao Cao usually used when he was alive.
Zhou Tai and others did not know the method of immersion. It is true that they had not heard of Cao Cao's battles in which Yecheng was flooded and Dongpi was flooded.
The reason is that the information at that time was extremely limited, and due to the poor transportation, not only Zhou Tai and others, but also other people, how could they know the specific details of the Wei army's water attack at that time if they were not there at the time?
The world often only knows the original facts. After the history books of the Keke Zhai Mule era are published, the world will know the specific details.
As for the water-attack battles that existed long ago in history, they are recorded in some history books, but for that reason, the knowledge of the world is still in a closed and uncirculated state.
Even if there are many famous people, they have never seriously read a few history books in their lives. They only study a classic book passed down from their family.
But as a time traveler, does Mi Yang know that clearly?
"If my prediction is correct, if Cao Zhen really wants to adopt a water attack strategy, his first step from the east will be to defend the mountains and use water."
The word "defense" in Mi Yang's words refers to dikes and weirs, which means to defend mountains and rivers. The Wei army will build a new dam on the upper reaches of the Han River to intercept the water source first and prevent the water of the Han River from leaking out.
"The second step from the east is to build trenches and embankments around Nanzheng City to continuously store the water of the Han River from inside to outside."
"As for the third step"
Although Mi Yang did not explain clearly what Wei Jun would do in the third step, everyone outside the hall unanimously understood what Mi Yang had not finished saying.
At that moment, the atmosphere outside the hall had become extremely solemn.
Although Mi Yang was analyzing whether the Wei army would take action, his analysis seemed to turn into a talisman when it fell into the ears of everyone.
Especially if Wei Jun really acted according to Mi Yang's analysis, then Zhou Tai's confusion, or reliance, would have been resolved invisibly.
Mi Yang looked at the serious expressions on the faces of Fa Miao and others, and for the first time, he felt powerless in his heart.
Will the Wei army attack by water?
Mi Yang doesn't know.
Did he just think of that because of Xiao Mi Cheng's unintentional loss?
The reason why Mi Yang didn't think about it before was actually due to his mindset as a Ji Hanzhong person.
Famous generals in the world always like to put themselves into the enemy's perspective to deduce what the enemy's actions will be if they take a step east, but that kind of substitution will not be affected by their own personality and even education.
The strategy of water attack has been rarely used in ancient and modern times.
One reason is that in order to achieve this, the defenders need to have absolute strength to suppress it, and at the same time, they need to use a water attack, which is a very vicious strategy.
Water attacks are not as effective as fire attacks, and fire attacks are usually inaccurate. However, once the water rushes into the city, not only the defenders will be killed and injured numerous times, but the people outside the city will not be spared either.
Regardless of the education he received in the previous life or the Ming Dynasty, Mi Yang was not allowed to use that strategy. Not only Mi Yang, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other Ji Hanzhong people, who would think that way?
History is so difficult in the history of Ji Han's founding, and have Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang ever seen such a strategy? Could it be that Zhuge Liang's coordination ability is not high, or that there is a lack of water in the south?
It’s just because there are things that are done and things that are not done.
Bu Nao speculated whether the Wei army would adopt a water attack strategy, but now it is difficult to confirm Mi Yang's conjecture, and there is no other evidence to support it.
Therefore, the powerlessness in Mi Yang's heart will disappear in a flash.
Mi Yang saw that Fa Miao and others were depressed because of his analysis, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It is still unknown whether Cao Zhen will use water attack, so why should you worry too much about things that are far away?
The analysis I just made is to allow you to be mentally prepared in advance, but not to make you look like a loser."
Mi Yang's words dispelled a lot of worries in the hearts of Fa Miao and others.
They all bowed to Mi Yang by mistake, apologized, and tried to cheer up again.
But there are always people present who don't understand the style, such as Wei Yan.
"If Cao Zhen does what the general expected, what should he do?"
Wei Yan blurted out a question that aroused the enthusiasm of everyone present, and almost lost it immediately.
Fortunately, after listening to Wei Yan's words, Mi Yang laughed and said:
"If Cao Zhenqiu violated Tianhe and did such a vicious thing, it proves that all his actions were predicted by Gu.
Since you have already predicted that the enemy will be ahead of you, why should you fear that you will not be able to defeat the enemy?
Even if the Han River is powerful, how can it break the chess game in Guxin's heart?"
Mi Yang's heroism stems from his glorious experience of never losing a battle since he joined the army, and from the bones of countless enemies who died east of his flag.
Therefore, after he finished speaking, everyone present was infected by his arrogance and stood up one after another to bow to Mi Yang who was walking.
Looking at the people worshiping him, Mi Yang thought of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's wrong instructions to him, of Guan Yan's reluctance to give up on him just now, and of the hundreds of thousands of living beings who worshiped him as their master.
Since your heart is bound, you should be a fierce tiger.
The Han River was only used by the Wei army?
