Chapter 396: Learning from History, Cao Zhen Returns to Luo

PreviousBack to directoryNext
In later generations, Mi Yang carefully understood the reasons for Ji Han's demise.

It is true that there are many reasons for the demise of Ji Han, but they are mainly divided into three aspects.

Needless to say, politics and economy, but the military aspect can be summarized by more than just "smuggling to Yinping".

First of all, Deng Ai was a military master. Since he dared to sneak into Yinping, it must be because there was a possibility of being smuggled into Yinping, and after successfully sneaking into Yinping, it would open a huge hole in Ji Han's defense line.

Without these two judgments, Deng Ai would not have taken such a risk.

But Deng Ai knew these two points, wouldn't Fazheng and Zhuge Liang not know?

These two great men knew this, and they took precautions against these two points after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong.

The Hanzhong defense line jointly deployed by the two talents was like a tight defense network, guarding the crucial gateway to Yizhou.

In this tight defense network, Yinping and Yang'an Pass are two extremely important hubs.

Yang'an Pass is Yangping Pass, also known as Guantou.

Anyone of later generations who knows something about the history of the Three Kingdoms should have heard the names of these two fortresses, especially Yangping Pass, which is almost the life of Hanzhong.

Because once Yangping Pass is captured by the enemy, it means that Hanzhong's greatest natural danger has been lost.

When Cao Cao and Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong, they initially targeted Yangping Pass as their main attack direction.

Fa Zheng once said when he was still alive: "The key point of fish restoration is actually the door to disaster and blessing in Yizhou."

This point is enough to show that Yangping Pass is an extremely important throat for the entire Yizhou.

The Hanzhong defense network jointly deployed by Fazheng and Zhuge Liang not only had heavy troops deployed at Yinping and Yangping passes.

They also left heavy troops at various passes not far from these two passes. The many passes were intertwined and echoed each other, so that Hanzhong was properly defended.

But it is a pity that this defensive network that protected Ji Han's safety in history was destroyed by one person.

That person was Jiang Wei, who inherited Zhuge Liang's legacy and served as the general of Ji Han at that time.

The reason why Jiang Wei wanted to destroy Zhuge Liang's defense network with his own hands was not because he had bad intentions. On the contrary, his original intention could be said to be good.

Jiang Wei also admitted that Hanzhong's tight defense network could well resist the enemy, but he believed that the tight defense network would not allow him to achieve great results.

Therefore, Jiang Wei suggested that Liu Chan give up some important fortresses as bait to lure the enemy to attack.

Then our own army retreated to Han and Leer cities, leaving the remaining important passes heavily guarded.

He sent another army as a mobile force to wait for opportunities to attack the enemy's weak points.

If this continues for a long time, the enemy army will be exhausted. When the enemy army retreats, the defenders of the cities and the mobile troops outside will seize the opportunity to attack and annihilate all the enemy troops.

When Jiang Wei's suggestion was sent to Liu Chan, Liu Chan readily agreed to Jiang Wei's suggestion.

On the surface, Jiang Wei's strategy of "retracting his troops and defending the country, strengthening the walls and clearing the country" is very good, but he ignored a key issue:

That is, the original defense network in Hanzhong was about interlocking and echoing each other. However, when the Han army took the initiative to abandon part of the fortress, the biggest advantage of this defense network was destroyed.

The most terrible thing is that the heavy troops originally stationed at Yinping and Yangping Pass were withdrawn, which gave the Wei army an opportunity to take advantage.

Historically, after Jiang Wei received the news that Zhong Hui was planning to attack Guanzhong, he immediately wrote to Liu Chan and asked Liu Chan to send Zhang Yi and Liao Hua to garrison Yangping Pass and Yinping Qiaotou respectively to nip the problem in the bud.

From this we can know that the military forces at Yinping and Yangping Pass must have been very weak at that time, otherwise Jiang Wei would not be so anxious.

Perhaps Jiang Wei's initial negligence was just an inducement, after all, he later tried to save it.

But when his negligence coincides with Liu Chan's stupidity, it will lead to a huge disaster.

Historically, one of the reasons for the loss of Yangping Pass was that Jiang Shu surrendered to the enemy, which allowed the Wei army to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the city.

But Jiang Shu was only a deputy general, and only his own troops and horses he brought out of the city to surrender.

After he brought his troops out of Yangping Pass, a dangerous pass like Yangping Pass could be directly attacked and captured by the Wei army.

This shows how empty Yangpingguan's military strength was under Jiang Wei's strategy.

The strategy proposed by Jiang Wei is very consistent with his military style, he is bold and good at taking risks.

His true intention was also for the big man, and he wanted to kill more enemies for the big man. Unfortunately, judging from objective facts, Jiang Wei's strategy did give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Even with the lesson of Cao Shuang's defeat, if Jiang Wei did not take the initiative to destroy Hanzhong's defense network, it is not certain whether Sima Zhao would have rashly ordered the attack on Shu.

After all, Sima Zhao's father Sima Yi was able to get the support of many veterans. A large part of the reason was that Cao Shuang was defeated so miserably in the Great War, which directly dealt a serious blow to his prestige.

Moreover, Sima Yi was most afraid of Hanzhong's tight defense network, which was also the biggest reason why he opposed Cao Shuang's southern expedition.

On the one hand, it was the Hanzhong defense network that even his father was afraid of, and on the other hand, the tragic end of a powerful minister like himself. Sima Zhao would carefully consider it no matter what.

Mi Yang, who came from a later generation, also loved Jiang Wei, a tragic hero.

Because of his fondness for it, Mi Yang would often sigh greatly whenever he read this record in history books.

Maybe if Zhuge Liang had a spirit in heaven, he would have felt like Mi Yang after seeing Jiang Wei, whom he had high hopes for, adopt this strategy.

That's why Zhuge Liang wrote to Mi Yang and took the initiative to remind him of this.

After all, Mi Yang's past military style was also good at luring the enemy deeper.

In other places and at other times, luring the enemy deep could be considered a good strategy, but in Hanzhong, under the current situation, Zhuge Liang did not want Mi Yang to be like this.

Because Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou, the current situation is also a time of turmoil for the Han Dynasty.

Reading Zhuge Liang's sincere instructions in the letter, Mi Yang felt warm and at the same time, she also kept Zhuge Liang's instructions in her heart.

Mi Yang is not Ma Su. He likes to go against Zhuge Liang's reminders to show his ability.

Moreover, even without Zhuge Liang's reminder, Mi Yang, who knew the lessons of history, would not have thought of taking risks in guarding against Hanzhong.

After reading Zhuge Liang's letter, Mi Yang took Zhuge Liang's letter into her arms.

In the letter, Zhuge Liang not only reminded Mi Yang, but also agreed to Mi Yang's move to divide his troops and go south.

As long as there are not too many troops and horses, it will have little impact on Hanzhong's defense. Moreover, Yizhou does need reinforcements now.

Thinking of this, Mi Yang quickly came up with a number in his mind - five thousand.

Five thousand may not sound like a lot, but the five thousand Liang troops Mi Yang planned to send south were all well-trained soldiers.

It is an exaggeration to say that such a large army can be defeated by one against a hundred, but facing the Nanzhong barbarians with poor weapons and incomplete armor and stomach, in a head-on confrontation, it is still no problem to defeat several of them.

Moreover, even if there is turmoil in Nanzhong, given Nanzhong's economic foundation, the rebels will not exceed 20,000 at most.

Under such circumstances, five thousand Liangzhou reinforcements are not a small amount.

After deciding on the number of troops to send south, Mi Yang immediately asked Fa Miao to write a military order.

In this military order, Mi Yang appointed Deng Ai as the commander-in-chief of the five thousand troops heading south to Liang.

In addition, he also sent Fu Qian, Shi Bao and other emerging generals who had recently joined his army and had not yet established any military exploits in this army.

Zhuge Liang conquered Nanzhong. Unless Meng Huo and others could summon meteorites, Mi Yang knew that this battle was for Zhuge Liang to practice his skills.

In this case, why not quickly send those people to Zhuge Liang to gain military exploits?

If Zhuge Liang likes some of his generals and gives them a few words, he will make a lot of money.

Then Mi Yang issued another military order.

"Order Zhang Yi to lead three thousand troops to guard Yinping."

At Yangping Pass, Mi Yang originally sent Wu Yi to garrison, but after Zhuge Liang's reminder, Mi Yang prepared to continue to strengthen Yinping's defenses.

Yinping is a pass that is as dangerous as Yangping Pass, and Zhang Yi himself is quite steady, so it is very appropriate to send him to guard Yinping.

Although Fa Miao didn't know why Mi Yang strengthened Yinping's defenses, he quickly wrote these two military orders.

After Fa Miao wrote the two military orders and showed them to Mi Yang, Mi Yang immediately ordered them to be sent to Nanzheng.

Seeing the messenger quickly running out of the tent with military orders, Mi Yang continued to deal with the government affairs in his hands.

At the same time an idea came to his mind.

Although Hanzhong is not suitable for a big war now, if an enemy dares to attack, he is not someone to be trifled with.

Don't forget, he is a general who made his fortune by playing defense and counterattack.

I wonder how Sun Shiwan is doing recently.

While Mi Yang continued to further strengthen the defense of Hanzhong, Cao Zhen, who had been traveling day and night, finally arrived in Luoyang.

Cao Zhen returned to Luoyang on his own initiative without informing anyone in advance, so his return was sudden.

When Cao Zhen returned to his mansion, Cao Shuang and his friends Deng Yang, Li Sheng, He Yan and others were enjoying the beauty of Wu Shi San.

Five Stone Powder can make people feel ecstatic after being drunk.

In addition, under the leadership of He Yan, Wu Shi San quickly became popular among the nobles in Luoyang City.

After taking Wushi Powder, ordinary people's bodies will react with heat and restlessness, so Wushi Powder is also considered an aphrodisiac by some people.

Of course, no matter how bad Cao Shuang and others are, they will not do anything to show their obscenity in public during the day.

They just took off their single clothes after the medicine took effect to dissipate the body heat.

However, although this kind of behavior is not as dirty as proclaiming obscenity in public during the day, according to the etiquette and laws of the world, it is also unacceptable to the world.

So when Cao Zhen came home and saw his son acting like this, the anger in his heart suddenly rose.

Cao Zhen walked quickly to Cao Shuang and lifted Cao Shuang off the couch, who was still showing enjoyment on his face.

Cao Shuang, who was still in a state of ecstasy, was not very clear at this moment. Suddenly, he couldn't see clearly that the person in front of him who dared to disrespect him was his father.

Therefore, Cao Shuang subconsciously shouted loudly: "Presumptuous!"

Hearing that Cao Shuang dared to yell at him, Cao Zhen became even more angry. He slapped Cao Shuang to the ground.

Cao Zhen was famous for his bravery in Cao Wei. When he was young, he could shoot a tiger. The force of his slap in anger was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

When that heavy slap hit Cao Shuang's face, it not only caused him to fall directly to the ground, but also made him scream in pain.

At this moment, Cao Shuang felt that his face was about to explode in pain.

But it was this intense pain that made Cao Shuang wake up completely from his confusion.

When he saw that it was Cao Zhen who beat him, the anger in Cao Shuang's heart suddenly disappeared.

He was afraid of this strict father from the bottom of his heart.

Ignoring the pain on his face, Cao Shuang was so frightened that he got up from the ground and knelt in front of Cao Zhen, his body shaking constantly.

This is scary.

When Cao Zhen saw Cao Shuang's unfulfilled look, he had the urge to draw his sword.

Cao Shuang is his eldest son, so Cao Zhen has always placed high hopes on Cao Shuang.

Deep love brings deep responsibility.

Thinking about how he could have such an unsatisfactory son when he himself was a highly praised and handsome man when he was young.

This change in the field also scared Cao Shuang's few friends to wake up.

How could the general's majesty be resisted by ordinary disciples from aristocratic families?

Even though He Yan was a contemporary of Cao Zhen, after seeing Cao Zhen's return, he slowly sat upright because he was afraid of Cao Zhen's power.

Although he was angry in his heart, Cao Zhen did not come back to educate his son. He had more important things to do.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So after Cao Zhen warned Cao Shuang not to take Wu Shi Powder, he returned to his dormitory to take a shower and change clothes.

Cao Zhen, who was fighting on the battlefield, naturally had a dislike for Wu Shi Powder, a drug that can invade people's sanity.

After bathing and changing clothes, and washing away the fatigue from the journey, Cao Zhen put on his court clothes, got into the chariot, and walked quickly towards the palace.

When Cao Zhen arrived at the palace gate, after showing his identity, he walked towards Cao Pi's bedroom unimpeded.

As the most popular minister in Cao Wei today, Cao Zhen has many privileges in Luoyang.

Soon after, Cao Zhen arrived outside Cao Pi's bedroom.

After standing outside the dormitory, no matter how powerful Cao Zhen was, he still honestly let the yellow gate outside the palace enter to report for him.

Cao Wei is not Ji Han. No matter how powerful Cao Zhen is, no matter how friendly his personal relationship with Cao Pi is, there must be clear boundaries between monarch and ministers.

When Huangmen saw that it was the general asking for an audience, he immediately ran into the main hall to report.

However, it was not Cao Pi who accepted Huangmen's report, but Guo Guifei, who had recently become the favorite in the harem.

Different from later generations, the title of noble concubine in the current generation was second only to the queen in the harem.

At present, Cao Pi has not established a queen. It can be said that Queen Guo is the actual queen of the current Wei Dynasty.

After Guo Guibi heard that it was Cao Zhen who was asking for an audience, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

As the governor of Guanzhong in Cao Wei, Cao Zhen suddenly returned without an edict. He must have something important to report.

only.

Guo Guibi glanced at the inner hall and thought that Cao Pi was taking Wu Shi Powder. A look of hesitation appeared on her face. If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han Search Novel Network update speed
