Wu Street is located behind Qishan Mountain, and importantly, it is not far from Yangping Pass.
Yangping Pass, anyone who wants to capture Hanzhong cannot ignore the importance of this pass to Hanzhong.
When Cao Cao led his army to attack Hanzhong, Zhang Wei, Zhang Lu's younger brother, led tens of thousands of troops to fortify inside and outside Yangping Pass.
Zhang Wei's talents are naturally not comparable to Cao Cao's, and the Hanzhong soldiers are not necessarily as elite as the Wei army.
But Zhang Wei relied on Yangping Pass to block Cao Cao's army in the mountains.
It can be said that if it had not been for that accident, Wei Jun would not have been able to capture Yangping Pass.
Even in the Battle of Hanzhong where Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao, no matter how brave the Han army was, they failed to capture the heavily defended Yangping Pass in the end.
From these two incidents, we can see that Yangping Pass is extremely dangerous.
Cao Hong participated in both Hanzhong battles.
Among the famous generals of Cao Wei who exist today, Cao Hong may be one of those who has the deepest understanding of the dangers of Yangping Pass.
Because of this understanding, Cao Hong did not want to lead his army to attack Yangping Pass unless it was absolutely necessary.
In the initial strategy of the Central Route Army, Cao Zhen did not assign Cao Hong the task of capturing Yangping Pass.
However, Cao Hong is old and still has ambitions in his heart.
If there is a chance to capture Yangping Pass, then Cao Hong will definitely give it a try.
In Cao Hong's view, there was an excellent opportunity in front of him right now.
Wu Yi and Mi Yang don't get along!
Throughout the ages, are there many examples in the world of people abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side because they don’t get along with the coach?
In particular, Cao Hong also knew that Wu Yi was not from Yizhou, but from a Central Plains family.
At present, the Central Plains is under the control of Cao Wei.
Everyone is homesick. If you try to persuade him from both the perspective of benefits and homesickness, there is no guarantee that Wu Yi will not be tempted.
Thinking of this, Cao Hong felt a little hot in his heart.
Cao Hong is a decisive person. Once he has an idea in his mind, he immediately takes action.
A letter was quickly written in Cao Hong's pen, and then Cao Hong summoned someone.
This person's name is Ren Xiang, and he is Cao Hong's brother-in-law.
The reason why Cao Hong summoned Ren Xiang was that Ren Xiang was from Chenliu in Yanzhou and was from the same hometown as Wu Yi.
Since we are planning to send a lobbyist, what would be more appropriate than sending a fellow countryman?
After Ren Xiang was summoned by Cao Hong, he quickly learned about his mission from Cao Hong.
After learning that he was about to become a lobbyist and go to Yangpingguan to persuade Cao Hong to surrender to Wu Yi, Ren Xiang was eager to give it a try.
Wu Yi's family is quite famous in Chenliu, and he and Ren Xiang's family had some friendship in the past.
Moreover, Wu Yi came from a well-known family. If he wanted to fight the two armies, he would attach great importance to this principle of not killing.
With these two points in mind, Ren Xiang feels that his life safety is guaranteed.
Since there is no danger to his life, but it is still possible to achieve great achievements, then does Ren Xiang still have any reason to hesitate?
After taking the letter from Cao Hong and putting it into his arms, Ren Xiang immediately bowed to Cao Hong and then quickly left Cao Hong's tent.
When Ren Xiang came out of Cao Hong's tent, his whereabouts happened to be seen by Yang Fu, who came to Cao Hong to discuss military matters.
Ren Xiang was Cao Hong's brother-in-law and now a lieutenant general in Cao Wei's army. Yang Fu naturally knew Ren Xiang.
When Yang Fu saw Ren Xiang coming out of Cao Hong's tent with an excited and mysterious look on his face, he inevitably felt a little suspicious.
But Yang Fu didn't care too much.
The reason why he came to look for Cao Hong was because he had something important to discuss.
Because he had important things in mind, Yang Fu quickly entered Cao Hong's tent.
When Cao Hong saw that Yang Fu had entered his tent without permission, he was instinctively unhappy.
Cao Hong and Yang Fu had had a feud for a long time.
After winning the battle of Xiabian that year, Cao Hong was very happy. He held a banquet in the army and asked singing girls to wear thin clothes and play drums. Everyone present laughed.
Only Yang Fu saw this scene and severely reprimanded Cao Hong, saying: "The difference between men and women is a major issue for the country. How can there be a naked woman sitting in a broad place! Although it is Jie, the chaos of Zhou is not worse than this."
In his words, Yang Fu compared Cao Hong to a tyrannical person like Jie and Zhou.
Being reprimanded like this in public, it is surprising that Cao Hong's character could not be angry.
If Cao Xiu hadn't been there to persuade him, Cao Hong would not have invited Yang Fu, who had left the table angrily, to sit down again.
Because of this unpleasant past incident, Yang Fu certainly knew that Cao Hong had a grudge against him.
But since he is Cao Hong's army protector today, he must fulfill his duty of protecting the army.
After Yang Fu saw Cao Hong, he bowed to him and asked: "Now that our army has captured Wu Street, I wonder when the general will lead the army north to capture Qishan?"
Cao Hong used flexible tactics to capture Wu Street, but he failed to capture Qishan in the end.
Qishan has an elite Liangzhou army. If the Liangzhou army cannot be eliminated, the Wei army will not have security behind it.
Under such circumstances, how can we continue going south?
Yang Fu's question made Cao Hong ponder.
Even Yang Fu could see the problem, it was impossible for him not to see it.
If it had been before, he would have really considered the issue of Qishan.
But now that he has a new breakthrough direction in his mind, he doesn't care so much about Qishan.
Between Qishan and Yangpingguan, who is more important and who is less important?
This is almost obvious.
And because he was still unsure whether Wu Yi would accept his persuasion to surrender, Cao Hong didn't want to tell Yang Fu his plan yet.
After pondering for a long time, Cao Hong replied: "Our army has been marching hard for many days and is quite tired.
Instead of fighting, I would rather let the army rest in Wu Street for a few days and then lead the army north to capture Qishan."
Cao Hong's answer did not satisfy Yang Fu.
As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and they are quick. Today, the Central Route Army has rarely made a good start. It is the time to go north to capture Qishan Mountain in one go.
Once they capture Qishan, the Central Route Army will have no worries about advancing or retreating in Hanzhong. This is a major matter related to the life and death of an army, so how can it be delayed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Fu was about to persuade Cao Hong again, but Cao Hong was a little impatient at this time.
He waved his hand to signal Yang Fu to retreat.
Cao Hong's impatient attitude made Yang Fu choke for a moment.
He is a good guard, but the power of the guard is not unlimited. At least in wartime, he does not have the power to directly command the army.
Cao Hong, now the commander-in-chief of an army, refused to listen to his advice, so there was nothing Yang Fu could do.
Unless Yang Fu can make a decisive decision to protect the army and relieve Cao Hong from the post of general.
But this is a power that will only be used as a last resort. At present, Cao Hong has merits but no faults. What reason does Yang Fu use to depose Cao Hong on behalf of the emperor?
And after deposing Cao Hong, who should command the Central Army?
Yang Fu believed that he did not have the ability to command a large army alone.
Under these concerns and in the face of Cao Hong's impatience, Yang Fu could only sigh and leave sadly.
After Yang Fu left, Cao Hong took out the map in the tent and carefully studied the enemies he was currently facing under the candlelight.
Although Cao Hong had acted a little carelessly about the direction of the next attack in front of Yang Fu just now.
But Cao Hong is not an incompetent person, and he really wants to fight this battle for the Wei Dynasty, so when there is no one around, Cao Hong often analyzes his next step.
It is true that Cao Hong has expectations for Wu Yi in Yangpingguan, but as a veteran, Cao Hong cannot put all his eggs in one basket.
Cao Hong's calloused fingers kept scratching on the rough map. When his fingers moved away from Yangping Pass, they gradually moved to Qishan Mountain.
Just as Yang Fu worried, if Qishan is not taken, Cao Hong will feel like a lump in his throat.
Looking at the name of the guard marked at Qishan on the map, Cao Hong felt very strange.
Lithos?
Where did this Han general come from?
Qishan is such an important place, why doesn't Mi Yang let Ding Feng guard it?
Cao Hong said that he couldn't see through Mi Yang's thoughts.
But just as Cao Hong couldn't figure out why Mi Yang let Wu Yi, who had a rift with him, guard Yangping Pass, since he couldn't figure it out, there was no need to think about it anymore.
Aren't the mistakes made by the enemy the best nourishment for him to achieve success?
After Ren Xiang left the Wei army's camp, he took a few of his followers and quickly rushed towards Yangping Pass.
Wu Street is not far from Yangping Pass. After traveling day and night, Ren Xiang arrived outside Yangping Pass a few days later.
Not surprisingly, the whereabouts of Ren Xiang and his party were quickly discovered by Han army scouts, and they were surrounded by a group of Han army scouts.
Faced with the siege of Han army scouts, Ren Xiang did not choose to resist.
He chose to put down his weapons and let the Han army scouts tie him up. However, when the Han army scouts tied him up, he also reported his identity and purpose of coming.
After the captain of the Han army's scout knew that Ren Xiang was the envoy sent by the Wei army, he did not hesitate and immediately took Ren Xiang to Yangping Pass.
For the scouts of an army, they have often encountered such things in the past.
Soon after, Ren Xiang was taken outside Wu Yi's tent by Han army scouts.
Yangping Pass is essentially a military fortress.
When Zhang Wei resisted Cao Cao's army at Yangping Pass, he built many dangerous camps inside and outside Yangping Pass.
Over the years, some of those camps have been damaged, while others are still functioning perfectly.
Since Wu Yi became the guard general of Yangping Pass, he has reused those camps.
Wu Yi was discussing military matters with the generals in his tent.
According to the intelligence he had received before, the Wei army should be attacking Qishan at this time.
However, Qishan did not send any military information, which made Wu Yi, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but feel suspicious.
With doubts in his heart, Wu Yi summoned the generals today to discuss this unusual situation.
Although he was reminded by Mi Yang, the nature of a country is easy to change. When Wu Yi regained military power, he still used a large number of his former troops.
Most of the people who were discussing matters together in the tent today were his cronies.
When Wu Yi heard the scout's report that an envoy from the Wei army was coming, a look of surprise appeared on his face at first, and then his brows furrowed.
Has the Wei army arrived outside Yangping Pass?
Wu Yi knew that one day he might face Cao Wei's middle army, but according to common sense, Wei's middle army should not have the idea of attacking Yangping Pass so quickly.
After all, Qishan is still firmly under the control of the Han army.
The arrival of the Wei army envoy plunged Wu Yi into new confusion.
Confused, Wu Yi quickly summoned Ren Xiang.
When Ren Xiang was brought into Wu Yi's tent by scouts, Ren Xiang quickly announced news to the Han generals present that shocked them.
Cao Hong's tens of thousands of Wei troops are currently stationed in the Wu Street area.
After learning the news, all the Han generals present were shocked.
With Wu Street behind Qishan, how could it be suddenly captured by the Wei army?
Could it be that Qishan has been lost?
When this idea emerged in their minds, the faces of all the Han generals present looked very ugly.
If this is the case, then how powerful the Wei army must be!
Only Wu Yi still retained some clarity despite his shock.
If Qishan really fell, it was impossible for him to get no news at all.
Qishan is not an insignificant small town like Wu Street.
But the most important thing at the moment is to find out the purpose of the Wei army envoy.
Wu Yi tried his best to appear calm. He asked Ren Xiang in a deep voice, "Why did Cao Hong send you here?"
Wu Yi's tone was quite cold.
But Ren Xiang was not worried at all.
He had just announced the news that his army was in Wu Street, just to make the Han generals in the tent worry.
Only in a worried mood can the success of persuading surrender be greatly improved.
When Wu Yi asked him about his purpose, Ren Xiang did not hide it, or it could be said that he deliberately revealed his purpose in front of everyone.
"Cao Qiaoqi, there is a letter for me to send to the general."
After Ren Xiang said these words, Wu Yi frowned more and more, but the other Han generals present all looked at Wu Yi with various eyes at the same time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Most of the Han generals in the tent are Wu Yi's cronies, but there are still many who are Mi Yang's die-hard loyalists.
After all, Mi Yang had previously disrupted the entire Liangzhou Army and reorganized it. In this case, no one in Liangzhou except Mi Yang could completely control the Liangzhou Army alone.
Putting aside the meaning of the looks of Wu Yi's cronies, the looks of those Han generals who were completely loyal to Mi Yang were quite intriguing.
Things have developed to this point, and everything makes Ren Xiang very satisfied.
But when things developed to this point, Wu Yi felt a little unexpected.
No matter what the content of Cao Hong's letter is, when everyone knows that a letter from Cao Hong was delivered to Wu Yi, many unfounded speculations will arise.
It’s good that Wu Yi is a relative of the Han Dynasty, but let’s not mention the past between him and Mi Yang. When Liu Bei captured Yizhou, wasn’t Wu Yi a relative of Liu Zhang?
Wu Yi understood Cao Hong's sinister intentions at this moment.
It's just one thing to understand, but Wu Yi has no countermeasures for the time being.
Flies never bite seamless eggs.
Wu Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Ren Xiang to deliver Cao Hong's letter.
After receiving Cao Hong's handwritten letter, Wu Yi quickly started reading it:
"Hong Su heard that General Hong Su had a reputation for being good at fighting, and he had admired him for a long time.
Today, Hong led a large army to attack the border. He originally wanted to compete with the general, but he couldn't bear to lose his life in vain, so he wrote a letter to clarify his interests to the general.
There are many things of loyalty and righteousness in the world, but if you want to do them, you also need to watch the weather.
The heroic capital of Ma Chao is now in the military capital, surrounded by the generals who conquered Shu. The thieves are in Nanzheng, and now the general himself is approaching.
As far as our army is concerned, Wu Street has already descended, and our army's front will reach Yangping in the near future. You have witnessed all the current events.
Liangzhou is divided into three groups and our army is hanging upside down. How can we save the general?
Today, my tiger is so fierce that everyone will die. The heavenly soldiers of the Wei Dynasty will not stop the road. If the general today is ordered to wait for the hopeless rescue and guard the pass that is bound to be lost, he will be like fish and meat on the shore, relying on Jianghan. I don’t know why.
If I concentrate my efforts on one place and do not move the sun, the Yang Ping will be destroyed. After the city is destroyed, what will be the use of death?
It would be better to return to the Central Plains and re-consecrate the ancestral temple to the Central Plains.
I hope the general will think about it!"
After reading the contents of Cao Hong's letter, Wu Yi's face became even more ugly.
He raised his head to look at the eyes of everyone present examining him, and Wu Yi felt an unknown fire brewing in his heart.
Is his image among the world so unbearable!
