Chapter 510: Victory without fighting, Sun Li is heartbroken
Some news cannot be concealed, especially for Jianye who has been infiltrated by the aristocratic family.
After Fu Yi sent the order to Yong'an, it didn't take long for the entire Jianye City to know about Sun Quan's request to recall Lu Xun.
And when the news was known to all Jiangdong's important officials, they all understood Sun Quan's decision.
Many local ministers from Jiangdong immediately wanted to jointly meet with Sun Quan to persuade Sun Quan to withdraw his orders.
As for the local ministers in Jiangdong, whether to protect their own vested interests, they have never supported the use of troops abroad.
If we have to seek foreign troops, then the best and only choice should be Jingzhou, not Hefei.
Not long after the Jiangdong ministers had gathered together, another blockbuster news began to spread, directly exposing Bizhai to all kinds of crimes.
"In the battle of Liangzhou, the entire Wei army was wiped out."
The message was very brief and did not explain in detail how Mi Yangchou won. However, the brief message caused the entire Jianye City to fall into an eerie silence in Ye Chang.
There were many unseen undercurrents going on, and after a long time, all the important ministers from Jiangdong who originally wanted to join forces to prevent Sun Quan from attacking Hefei gave up the idea.
What's more, they directly ordered people to seal the door with dirt, and showed their refusal to come by showing their refusal to come by showing their determination with their legs.
Could that person be Zhang Zhao, the most important minister in Jiangdong of the Ming Dynasty?
Zhang Zhao's reason for doing this is very simple. Without him, his face hurts his ears.
Whether his original assertion was known to the entire Jianye City has always been the most important argument for the Jiangdong local ministers to oppose the Northern Expedition.
After Zhang Zhao stayed behind closed doors and refused visitors, it meant that there was no power outside Jiangdong to stop Sun Quan from sending troops to Hefei.
Military orders were sent one after another from the Taiwei's Mansion in Jianye City to various places in Jiangdong.
Jiangdong, who has been recuperating for several years, finally plans to show his fangs again.
Naturally, Sun Quan's unabashed large-scale move to mobilize troops and transport food could not be concealed from the spies planted by Cao Wei.
Soon, an intensified military situation was heading towards Hefei at an extremely fast speed.
That military situation is bound to cause the situation in Tiandong to change drastically again.
The encirclement has begun, and the case of Cao Wei is in Yurou.
At the end of August in the fourth year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, after a period of rest, Mi Yang finally led his army to Yangping Pass.
As early as half a month ago, Mi Yang had been dispatching troops to Yangping Pass one after another. He himself even left Nanzheng and came to Seoul, not far from Yangping Pass.
However, after the floods, the roads were muddy and difficult to navigate, and since they had just experienced a war, Mi Yang should also be considerate of Dong Qing and let the army have a good rest.
Cao Hong couldn't run away anyway.
Before Cao Zhen's army was destroyed, the main force of Liangzhou was restrained by Cao Zhen's army. In addition, Cao Hong blocked the passage outside Yangping Pass, which led to the whole territory of Hanzhong falling into a situation of war.
But after Cao Zhen's army was destroyed, not only Liangzhou's main force could be withdrawn, Mi Yang also received assistance from Yizhou's 50,000 troops.
At that moment, the enemy's offensive and defensive posture had completely changed.
Mi Yang did not transfer all his troops to Yangping Pass, but he brought 30,000 troops to Yangping Pass.
The reason why Mi Yang did not transfer all his troops to Yangping Pass was partly because he needed to keep a large army in the east to prepare for the subsequent Northern Expedition.
On the other hand, considering the situation in Dangdong, it is not difficult to defeat the two Wei armies of Cao Hong and Guo Huai with 30,000 troops.
That doesn't mean Mi Yang is arrogant.
Although judging from the statistics, the strength of the 30,000-strong army is similar to that of Cao Hong, let alone less than the combined strength of Cao Hong and Guo Huai.
But war has never been a simple competition of data.
No matter how many troops Cao Hong and Guo Huai have, they are still not a guest army, and Mi Yang's army is not a main army occupying a favorable location.
Moreover, after Mi Yang led his army to Yangping Pass, Cao Hong's grain transportation route was always threatened by the Han army's front, which allowed the Han army to take the initiative in the war, that is, the timing.
The most important thing is that after a period of deliberation, Cao Hongke has received the news of Cao Zhen's defeat.
Even if Cao Hong hasn't received the news, it doesn't matter. Mi Yang will help him.
After leading the army to Yangping Pass, Mi Yang did not immediately lead the army to launch a fierce attack on the Wei army camp.
Mi Yang thought that he could defeat others without fighting.
Mi Yangdong ordered to show the Wei army flags and military resources obtained by cleaning the battlefield to the Wei army in the camp one by one.
In addition, Mi Yang quickly selected a thousand sergeants with loud voices from the army and ordered them to be divided into two groups to publicize the news of the annihilation of Cao Zhen's army outside the Wei army's camp on a moonlit night.
After Mi Yang arranged for people to do those two things, he stayed quietly outside Yangping Pass, waiting for the development of the situation.
Compared to Mi Yang's composure, Cao Hong at that time almost begged to have all his beard shaved off.
On the bright moon, Cao Hong held a meeting outside the big tent for the third time.
The generals summoned by Cao Hong saw Cao Hong scratching his beard anxiously, and their faces all looked dead.
After learning the news promoted by the Han army a few months ago, the entire Wei army camp fell into a barbecue.
If it were not for the oral propaganda of the Han army alone, then the tens of thousands of Wei troops would hardly be like this.
But the request was rejected. At the same time, the Han army was in the open space outside the Wei army's camp, displaying many armor and flags discarded by the Wei army.
The most disgusting thing is that I don’t know if it was Mi Yang’s idea. The Han army would calmly update different armor flags every month under the gaze of the Wei army.
Whenever they saw the Han army transporting new armor flags and putting the old armor flags on vehicles and pushing them back to Yangping Pass, the mentality of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers almost collapsed.
What does that prove?
It proves that there are many armor flags of our own side outside Yangping Pass that will not be displayed in the future, and it further proves whether the thing that the Han army has promoted in recent months is very true!
Then why can't your mentality explode?
Cao Hong even refused to convene an emergency parliament in the first month after Mi Yang arrived with his army.
Sometimes in the same month, Cao Hong would convene the parliament multiple times.
When it comes to the bright moon, none of the Wei generals know how many events Ye Yi has participated in in the past few months.
But have frequent convenings of parliament solved practical problems?
No, that can be seen from Cao Hong's performance.
The actual problem in Dangdong was resolved. Tens of thousands of Wei troops were cut off by Mi Yang's army.
Moreover, because Zhuge Liang led "tens of thousands of Han troops" to camp out of Jiange before, the road leading tens of thousands of Wei troops to Yinping to join Guo Huai has also been cut off.
Under such circumstances, the tens of thousands of Wei troops currently led by Cao Hong would be in a state of fighting dogs.
Is this another major reason for the violent morale turmoil of the tens of thousands of Wei troops?
Cao Hong's impatience fell into the eyes of the generals. Coupled with the fact that they were well aware of the desperate situation they were currently facing, the dead expressions on the generals' faces became more intense.
It's just that our own side is in a desperate situation. Our general is very helpless, so how can we not make people despair?
But sometimes emotions can affect each other.
Cao Hong looked at the lifeless expressions on the generals' faces, which made fear quietly grow in his heart.
For a time, Cao Hong and the generals outside the tent misunderstood each other, which made them even more hopeless about the future of each other and their own army.
That also put the entire tent in an eerie silence.
It's as quiet as a mourning hall.
Just like those Wei generals who gathered in Mingyue not to discuss affairs, but to mourn their tens of thousands of troops.
Bu Nao Cao Wei occupies the essence of China, and there are endless people. Outside the big tent of Dangdong, it is not impossible that no one has a solution in mind.
For example, Sun Li.
When Sun Li saw the lifeless look outside the tent, he was so angry that he almost bit his steel teeth into pieces.
Isn’t that the great Wei who suppressed Tiandong?
Because of the anger in his heart, Sun Li could no longer bear it in the presence of the Mingyue Council. He stood up directly and came to Cao Hong to admonish him:
"General Hussar, when Dong Bufu hesitates, the longer the delay is, the more depressed the morale of his army will be.
The other armies should take advantage of the fact that the Eastern Army's heart has not yet collapsed and concentrate their forces to break out!"
Sun Li's tone was resounding, but after he finished speaking, he aroused scattered laughter from outside the tent.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the only way out for tens of thousands of Wei troops to the east is to break out of the encirclement.
But how come?
Did Cao Hong not laugh at Sun Li?
Although Sun Li Dangdong did not have a high military position, if he had not dealt with it promptly on the night Liu Feng attacked at night, the Wei army would have suffered even greater losses.
After this incident, Cao Hong looked at Sun Li differently.
But despite this, Cao Hong's pessimistic mentality cannot be changed.
"His army's retreat has been blocked by the Han army. What kind of person is Mi Yang? Since he has led his army to block the retreat, how can he let his army break out?"
Cao Hong's response was full of affirmation.
And this is not the reason why some generals laughed at Sun Li just now.
It would be fine if someone else led the army to block the retreat. When Dongfou Miyang personally led the army to Zhenyang Pingguan.
Mi Yang's illustrious reputation directly caused most Wei generals to lose the idea of breaking out.
After hearing Cao Hong's response, Sun Li had to say whether Cao Hong's idea was wrong.
But he had no intention of breaking through from the rear.
Sun Li bowed to Cao Hong again and said, "He sent scouts out to investigate a few months ago. His army's retreat has been blocked by a large number of Han troops, estimated to number at least tens of thousands.
Mi Yang fought fiercely in Liangzhou for a year and suffered a huge loss of troops. Where did he get the tens of thousands of troops?
If you want to come here, there is no doubt that I will be Yizhou."
The current territory of the Han Dynasty is so large. Although there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Jingzhou, is it possible for Jingzhou to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to rescue Mi Yang?
In addition, since Mi Yang could allow tens of thousands of soldiers to block the Wei army's retreat, there was no doubt that they would all have elite troops.
Based on those two points, after excluding Jingzhou, it is not difficult to guess the origin of the tens of thousands of troops that appeared out of thin air from Mi Yang's legs.
Moreover, Cao Zhen was suddenly defeated, and Coco was directly connected to that point.
"Although he still doesn't know why the Yizhou reinforcements were able to bypass other troops and reach outside Liangzhou.
But no matter how quickly Yizhou's national strength recovers, after devoting tens of thousands of troops to aid Liangzhou, how many troops will Zhuge Liang have at his disposal?
He deduced that the Han army camp outside Jiange might be Zhuge Liang's bluffing plan.
General Hussar, why not gather all the strength of the army and storm the Han army camp outside Jiange, and ask his army to break through the camp here, and the passage to Yinping will be opened for his army."
After Sun Li finished explaining his strategy, he looked at Cao Hong expectantly.
He hoped that Cao Hong could adopt Dangdong's method, which was the only way to save tens of thousands of Wei troops.
Unexpectedly, before Cao Hong could respond, Yang Fu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:
"Where's the evidence?"
Those three cold words immediately made the atmosphere in the big tent that was a little warmer suddenly turn silent again.
No, where is the evidence?
Everything Sun Li said sounds reasonable at first glance, but there is no specific intelligence argument in the letter, which means that it rejects what Sun Li said and rejects his personal speculation.
And it is not normal for Yang Fu to suddenly say that sentence.
His original position was the governor of Liangzhou, and he was not responsible for handling government affairs in the first half of his life.
That kind of experience made Yang Fu develop a cautious and intelligence-oriented character.
After all, every government decree affects the lives of many people. If it is not based on certain information, how can it be rashly promulgated?
Sun Li was choked by Yang Fu. He could not answer Yang Fu's question.
He understood the reason why Yang Fu asked what he said, but he also didn't think he was wrong.
How can war be confused with government affairs?
Government affairs focus on seeking stability, but war, especially when the situation is critical, often relies on risk-taking and keen judgment to win.
Sun Li did not dare to say whether what he said was wrong, but considering the situation in Dangdong, it was very necessary to give his strategy a try.
Sun Li did not ask Yang Fu to understand him. He looked at Cao Hong, who had not shut up, and wondered whether Cao Hong would understand him.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Yang Fu's anti-barrel dog, facing Sun Li's expectant eyes, Cao Hong thought for a long time but shook his head and said:
"This plan is too risky and should not be pursued."
Sun Li laughed angrily at Cao Hong's answer.
Too risky?
How can the Wei army in the east get a chance of survival if they don't take risks?
Sun Li wanted to persuade again, but Cao Hong directly and decisively objected: "This matter does not need to be discussed again!"
Cao Hong's attitude directly frustrated Sun Li.
He looked around at the Wei generals outside the tent and saw that no one dared to come out and speak with him. Sun Li did not find it extremely ironic.
"You are all the sinners of the Wei Dynasty!"
After Fang Dong's words, Sun Li walked out of the tent angrily.
Sun Li's disrespectful behavior made Cao Hong angry. He reminded Sun Li of his previous achievements in Lidong, and Cao Hong generously forgave Sun Li for his disrespect.
As for what Sun Li said before leaving, Cao Hong didn't care.
Does what Sun Li said make sense?
Of course there is.
But Cao Hong had reasons to refuse.
The first reason was that Sun Li's plan was too risky.
Cao Hong is no longer young.
When he was young, he followed Cao Cao and fought in all directions. He did not know why he died.
But as an old man, he has too much.
Will a person's passion and ambition change with age and how much he or she has?
The second reason was that he looked at the Wei generals outside the tent who had no fighting spirit. Breaking through the encirclement required courage without fear of death, but did those Wei generals have it now?
If General Wei is like this, what about the soldiers in Didong?
Apart from those two reasons, there is another reason that is not obvious to outsiders.
According to the situation in the east of the eye, it is difficult to save tens of thousands of Wei troops, but that does not mean that Cao Hong cannot be saved.
Thinking of that, Cao Hong made a decision in his heart.
General, since I was defeated first, I can't blame him for coming from the east.
