Lu Yi came to Ma Chao's tent wearing military uniform.
When Liangzhou's life and death are at stake, Liangzhou's monarchs and ministers will never let go of their swords or armor.
Lu Yi, who already had a stern face, became even more fierce after putting on the military uniform.
With Lu Yi's attitude of not letting strangers in, no one who saw him coming would think it was a good thing coming.
As Ma Chao expected, Lu Yi's face became a little colder after seeing him.
However, no matter what cold attitude Lu Yi adopted when facing Ma Chao, the status gap between him and Ma Chao was too big, so after Lu Yi saw Ma Chao, he still saluted Ma Chao.
It's good that Lu Yi came here on behalf of Mi Yang, but Mi Yang had to salute Ma Chao when he saw him.
After saluting, Lu Yi took out a silk book from his arms and read it out without any hesitation.
Lu Yi read aloud very quickly, and soon Ma Chao had finished listening to the contents of the silk book.
But after listening to the contents of the silk book, a look of surprise appeared on Ma Chao's face.
This silk letter was not, as he expected, a document from Mi Yang to reduce his military power.
On the contrary, Mi Yang first praised Ma Chao in his silk book.
Then Mi Yang informed in the silk letter that he had written a letter to reprimand Zhang Yi for his behavior in the lawsuit, and asked Ma Chao not to worry.
Especially Mi Yang's last sentence in the silk book made Ma Chao feel a little moved:
"As soon as the war begins, I will go east and everything to the west will be yours!"
What does this sentence mean?
This means that with Yinping as the boundary, from today on, the military affairs of Liangzhou to the east of Yinping will be coordinated by Mi Yang himself, while the military affairs to the west will be decided by Ma Chao alone. Mi Yang will never be restricted.
This meaning expressed by Mi Yang represents his unparalleled trust in Ma Chao and is also the highest ceremonial respect for Ma Chao.
Since Ma Chao joined Liu Bei's camp, he has always been the number one person in terms of military positions.
From the beginning, even Guan Yu's position was lower than Ma Chao.
But whenever Liu Bei uses Ma Chao, he often appoints Ma Chao, who has a higher status, as his deputy general. This was the case during the Battle of Xia Bian.
This is Liu Bei's check and balance on Ma Chao.
To this day, during the Liangzhou Guard War, although Ma Chao's position is higher than that of Mi Yang, he is actually under Mi Yang's command.
Otherwise, how could Zhang Yi report Ma Chao's behavior to Mi Yang?
Today, Mi Yang's silk letter, both in form and in fact, elevated Ma Chao to a position of equal power with him.
Ma Chao has never received such respect and trust before.
Never!
So today, when Ma Chao got this precious thing that he had never dared to imagine before, even for a fierce general like Ma Chao, the most emotional string in his heart was easily plucked by Mi Yang.
There is a saying in this world that a scholar will die for his close friends.
Of course, if it were Ma Chao in the past, Mi Yang's behavior might have been feeding a tiger into trouble. This is what Lu Yi thought.
But after experiencing many ups and downs in life, Ma Chao's character has already undergone many changes, which can be seen from his care for Ma Dai.
If it were Ma Chao in the past, he wouldn't care about his own father or younger brother. How would he care about how his younger brother will live in the future?
This is also one of the reasons why Mi Yang dares to do this.
Mi Yang naturally didn't know what happened between Ma Chao and Ma Dai, but he was a time traveler. He knew something that happened to Ma Chao in the past from history books.
When Ma Chao was living under Zhang Lu, Dong Zhong, his concubine's younger brother, came to congratulate him on the New Year. Facing Dong Zhong's congratulations, Ma Chao beat his chest and vomited blood and said: "We are all members of the same family. Once we have the same fate, now we two congratulate each other."
evil?"
It can be seen from this sentence that Ma Chao regrets what he did back then.
To be honest, it was knowing this that made Mi Yang think about using Ma Chao.
Of course, this is emotional trust, but if you want to sit back and relax, you need to have checks and balances.
Mi Yang did not have checks and balances on Ma Chao. For example, Mi Yang did not let Ma Chao bring his own troops with him.
No matter how much power Mi Yang gave Ma Chao, the soldiers and horses that Ma Chao could command were all direct descendants of Mi Yang. With this foundation, what else did Mi Yang have to worry about?
Is it possible that they are worried that Ma Chao will surrender to Cao Wei?
Isn't this funny?
Ma Chao may not understand Mi Yang's other considerations, but Ma Chao can really feel Mi Yang's trust and respect for him expressed through Lu Yi's mouth.
Ma Chao even thought that the reason why Mi Yang sent Lu Yi as an envoy had a profound meaning.
Lu Yi, as the representative of the group of Liang ministers who had least trusted him in the past, came to him personally under Mi Yang's arrangement and read out Mi Yang's most sincere and sincere trust.
This is what Mi Yang is telling himself: Don't worry about being deceived by others, even if that person is his confidant, his trust in himself will never be shaken.
Mi Yang has already made it this far, what else does Ma Chao have to hesitate about?
Ma Chao took the silk letter written by Mi Yang from Lu Yi's hand with a moved expression.
At the same time, a solemn promise came from Ma Chao's mouth.
"If the enemy's iron hoofs cross Yinping, Chao's corpse will definitely be beneath those iron hoofs!"
"I also hope that Mr. Lu will tell Chao Chao's words to the champion."
Even though Lu Yi no longer liked Ma Chao, he was still touched after hearing these words.
How many people in the world can say these decisive words?
Lu Yi's face was still cold, but he nodded to Ma Chao.
This means that he will definitely bring this sentence to...
After seeing Lu Yi's promise to him, Ma Chao invited Lu Yi to go to the camp wall to watch the tragic situation of the Wei army.
By this time, the Wei army in the flames had long been killed, but the flames were still raging in the Gushan Mountain Road.
When Lu Yi climbed up to the camp wall, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
As far as the eye can see, the sky is filled with fire.
In the midst of the continuous fire, many charred corpses were vaguely visible, as well as many siege equipment that had been destroyed by the fire.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After seeing this, Lu Yi was shocked and immediately turned to look at Ma Chao.
Facing Lu Yi's shocked gaze, Ma Chao told Lu Yi exactly what happened just now.
Of course, in the narrative, Ma Chao emphasized Ma Dai's contribution.
But after listening to Ma Chao's narration, Lu Yi didn't pay much attention to Ma Dai. Instead, he was very interested in the stone fat mentioned in Ma Chao's words.
Lu Yi just came over from Mi Yang. As he often stayed by Mi Yang's side, he naturally knew that Mi Yang was quite worried about the Wei army's siege in the future.
The monarch is worried about the humiliation of his ministers. Since the monarch has this kind of worry, Lu Yi has been thinking about how to eliminate Mi Yang's worries all the time in the past.
Now that Lu Yi knew that Ma Chao had a magical item like stone fat in his hand that could easily cause a fire, Lu Yi became interested.
If this kind of item could be used in a city defense battle, then this item would undoubtedly be a nightmare for the siege party.
This can be seen from the tragic situation the Wei army is experiencing now.
Lu Yi quickly asked Ma Chao how much stone fat he still had in his hand.
Ma Chao did not expect that Lu Yi would be so interested in items like Shizhi.
Don’t all Confucian disciples only like classics and classics?
Seeing Lu Yi's urgent tone, Ma Chao quickly informed Lu Yi that he had already used up Shizhi in the previous battle.
Although stone fat sometimes appears on some water surfaces on its own initiative, this is only a rare occurrence and is not common.
And due to the extremely high flammability of stone fat, it is very difficult for people to collect and store it.
Even with Ma Chao's previous power in Liangzhou, he only got a very small part of Shizhi.
After listening to Ma Chao's explanation, Lu Yi did not doubt that he was there. After he continued to ask some specific information about Shi Zhi, he wanted to leave quickly and report the matter to Mi Yang.
But before leaving, Lu Yi took a look and said to Ma Chao: "I will report the two great victories of General Hussar to the Lord."
After a pause, Lu Yi added: "I will also fully report the merits of Lieutenant Ma."
Lu Yi has an upright personality, but he is not stupid.
The intention to promote Ma Dai revealed in Ma Chao's words was almost undisguised.
Regarding Ma Chao's thoughts, Lu Yi saw through it but refused to tell him.
Anyway, Ma Chao's two victories are without water. As long as there is this foundation, then Lu Yi will not be too persistent.
Then Lu Yi gave Ma Chao some reminders.
"After I entered Wudu County, I saw foreign troops mobilizing in many places. I hope the Hussars General will take more precautions against this."
After reminding Ma Chao, Lu Yi bowed to Ma Chao and left anxiously outside the camp.
After Lu Yi left the camp wall, Ma Dai, who was not far away, came over immediately. He asked Ma Chao doubtfully:
"Didn't the general say before that he had asked General Zuo for help? Why is it that when Lu Zhizhong came now, no reinforcements followed him?"
Faced with Ma Dai's question, Ma Chao did not choose to answer him.
He raised his eyes and looked at the Wei army camp several miles away, and Lu Yi's reminder just now kept echoing in his mind.
What are you planning?
Due to the fire caused by Shizhi, Guo Huai's first attack on the camp failed with tragic results.
This defeat further reduced the morale of the Wei army.
No famous general would think of continuing to storm the Han army camp when his morale is low.
So in the next few days, the Han army and the Wei army faced each other across a deep mountain road.
Just as the Han and Wei armies were confronting each other in Gushan, the Central Army, led by Cao Wei's cavalry general Cao Hong, also entered Hanzhong.
This month is the eighth month of the third year of Han Zhangwu.
According to the Wei army's southern expedition strategy, the center route army led by Cao Hong aimed at Qiaotou, another important town in Hanzhong.
Cao Wei's West Route Army and Central Route Army both went south from Sanguan.
However, unlike the West Route Army, the Middle Route Army led by Cao Hong immediately turned eastward after crossing Sanguan, detouring all the way to the outside of Wu Street.
According to common sense, due to their different strategic goals, it is normal for the West Route Army to take the route of passing through the pass and entering Wudu County, but the Middle Route Army led by Cao Hong should take the route south of Qishan Mountain.
Although the Central Route Army went south from Qishan to Hanzhong, judging from the map, it would take a longer detour than going south from Sanguan.
But once the Wei army crosses Qishan Mountain, there will be many roads behind Qishan Mountain for the army to move quickly.
From this point of view, the overall time for the Central Route Army to enter Hanzhong will not increase, but will instead be shortened.
Moreover, the strategic purpose of Cao Hong's Middle Route Army was to cut off the connection between the east and west sides of Hanzhong. From this strategic purpose, it was more appropriate for the Middle Route Army to enter Hanzhong from Qishan.
Because there are many fortresses behind Qishan, if all those fortresses can be eradicated, then the strategic purpose of the Central Route Army will be achieved.
Before Cao Hong's Middle Route Army entered Hanzhong, many people thought that Cao Hong would choose this route.
But to everyone's surprise, Cao Hong did not take the conventional marching route. He chose the route from Sanguan into Hanzhong.
Cao Hong did this for his own reasons.
Although it would be faster to enter Hanzhong from Qishan, Qishan, as an important defense town for the Han army, was not so easy to capture.
However, if the Wei army bypassed the important town of Qishan and chose to enter Hanzhong through Sanguan, it would not only have an unexpected effect tactically, but also allow the Wei army to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Cao Hong's calculation was not wrong. Although the march route he chose was more difficult, by surprise, Cao Hong's army went south without encountering any major obstruction and successfully arrived outside Wu Street.
Wu Street is a small town in Hanzhong, located behind Qishan Mountain.
Since there was no enemy news from Qishan ahead, the Wujie defenders were caught off guard by the arrival of Cao Hong's army.
In addition, Wujie's city defense and military strength were far inferior to those of Qishan, so under the fierce attack of the Wei army, Wujie was quickly captured by Cao Hong.
Cao Hong used his tactics and became the first among the three main generals of the Wei army to achieve victory.
Of course, Wujie is not a fortress, and capturing it is not of great significance.
But for Wei Jun, being able to achieve a small victory on Mi Yang's territory was enough to make them quite excited.
After taking Wu Street, Cao Hong began to think about his next goal.
The Three Kingdoms did not pay attention to the bad habit of remote control command.
As long as Cao Hong can finally achieve his strategic goal, then whatever tactics Cao Hong adopts in the process of achieving this strategic goal is fine.
For example, the march route chosen by Cao Hong.
When Cao Hong was thinking about his next goal, he did not discuss it with his guard Yang Fu.
Everyone in Wei knew that the relationship between Cao Hong and Yang Fu was very bad.
Cao Hong suspected that Cao Zhen had arranged for Yang Fu to become his bodyguard because Cao Zhen was deliberately disgusting with him.
After all, the relationship between Cao Hong and Cao Zhen is notoriously bad.
Cao Hong kept flipping through the information collected in his hands. After flipping for a long time, a piece of routine information caught Cao Hong's attention.
This piece of information talks about who the current guard of Yangping Gate is.
That person was Wu Yi, the general who conquered the north.
After realizing this, Cao Hong remembered what he had seen in Chencang before about a series of major events that happened in Liangzhou last year.
One of the major events was about how Mi Yang suppressed Wu Yi.
The sigh of "summer sun" was spoken by Wu Yi himself.
Anyone who knows the origin of this sentence can hear Wu Yi's dissatisfaction with Mi Yang from this sentence.
If this is the case, then why doesn't he make a fuss about this? If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han's novel search website has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
