After learning about Cao Hong's plan, Mi Yang felt a sense of déjà vu.
In history, when Zhong Hui conquered Shu, Yangping Pass in Hanzhong was lost under similar circumstances.
Thinking of this, Mi Yang only felt that sometimes things in the world are really strange.
But after thinking about it again, Mi Yang realized that it wasn't that things in the world were magical, but that people's hearts were like this.
This strategy proposed by Cao Hong not only has a high probability of capturing Yangping Pass, but also ensures the safety of his own army to a large extent.
The reason why Cao Hong's strategy is consistent with that adopted by the Wei army in history is not that they have a clear understanding across time and space, but that they are naturally suspicious in their hearts.
When in doubt, is there any better strategy than this?
In history, Fu Qian was careless and allowed himself to die in battle and Yangping Pass fell, which directly led to the fall of Hanzhong.
But Mi Yang was not Fu Qian. Cao Hong thought he was the oriole behind the mantis, but he didn't know that Mi Yang was the hunter holding a slingshot who wanted to shoot the bird.
After Mi Yang thought for a while, he looked at Wu Yi and said, "Promise him."
Mi Yang's decision made Wu Yi, Fa Miao and Lu Yi present all look at him in surprise.
In the end, Wu Yi had the courage to remind him softly, "Wei's army is outnumbered and powerful. If our army wants to adopt a strategy to lure the enemy, it may be self-defeating if we fail to take precautions."
The three people here are all people who know the art of war.
They knew that the reason why Mi Yang agreed to Cao Hong's plan was because he wanted to be the hunter hidden behind the oriole.
To put it bluntly, Mi Yang was using a trick to lure the enemy.
But the reason why the hunter is confident that he can hit the oriole flying high in the sky with one strike is because he has a sharp slingshot in his hand.
Similarly, the reason why Cao Hong thought this strategy was safe was because he thought he had more troops.
If Wu Yi did not follow his plan, then Wu Yi would naturally pretend to surrender.
But if Wu Yi followed his plan, then regardless of whether Wu Yi really surrendered or pretended to surrender, once the city gate of Yangping Pass was opened, wouldn't it be possible for the Wei army to attack and capture it with the overwhelming number of people?
This is the biggest reason why Cao Hong is willing to take risks.
Cao Hong's thoughts could not be hidden from Wu Yi and the three people present, and the three of them had a clear understanding of their own military strength.
Currently, there are only three thousand defenders at Yangping Pass, and at least two thousand of these three thousand must guard various passes in Yangping Pass.
In other words, when the worst happens, Wu Yi can only rely on a thousand defenders to resist the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Wei troops at the city gate. Such an action is too risky in anyone's opinion.
Of course Mi Yang understood Wu Yi's reminder, so how could he not be aware of Wu Yi's concerns.
But since he can make this decision, he will naturally have a way to deal with it.
Mi Yang looked at Wu Yi and the three people present, and expressed his thoughts.
"In today's situation, our army is at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, military resources, and even strategic space.
But our army also has two major advantages."
"A major advantage of our army is that currently all the important roads in Hanzhong counties are under our control, which allows our army to quickly mobilize within Hanzhong and even between Hanzhong and Hanxing.
Defending the enemy outside the country's borders does not mean simply watching the enemy's forces grow in strength and constantly squeezing our army's living space.
Now that the enemy has not formed an encirclement around our army, our army should make full use of this advantage and carry out rapid mobilization of troops between various places.
Constantly looking for fighter opportunities in motion, and constantly making the enemy unaware of our army's purpose in motion.
Now in Hanzhong, our army has no mobile strength, but in Hanxing, I still have an army of five thousand!"
The five thousand troops Mi Yang mentioned were the troops of Wei Yan whom he had previously sent to garrison Hanxing.
When Mi Yang mentioned Wei Yan's army, even Fa Miao couldn't sit still.
Fa Miao stood up and bowed to Mi Yang and said, "I know that you have the intention to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Cao Hong, but the main task of our army is to defend.
When the king asked Wei Zhenbei to lead the troops to Hanxing, wasn't it the Sima Yi who was worried about him who was always ready to make a move?
Now the movement of Sima Yi and Zhang He's army is unknown. If the ruler rashly withdraws Wei Yan's army from Hanxing, once Sima Yi finds out this news, Hanxing may be in danger."
Fa Miao's words caused recognition to appear on the faces of Wu Yi and Lu Yi.
After all, even if Cao Hong's army needs to be dealt with, the current situation in Liangzhou is really not suitable for demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall.
Fa Miao's suggestion did not make Mi Yang hesitate, but instead made him laugh.
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked up to Fa Miao and said, "You only know one, but not the other."
"I just made it clear that our army has two advantages. The first is geographical location. What about the second?
The second is that our army is not truly alone.
It is true that the Yizhou army is on an expedition to Nanzhong, but am I the only one who can conquer Yizhou and Liangzhou as a mighty man?"
Speaking of this, Mi Yang's face showed a confident look.
"Sima Yi served as the governor of Jingzhou, and he was in charge of the military in Jingzhou. If there was an opportunity, he would of course raise troops to attack Hanxing.
But what if Wancheng, his own base, is in danger?
Yangpingguan, Nanzheng, Xicheng, and Xiangyang are connected by the Han River, and the transportation is very convenient. While I am sending a courier to Xicheng, I will also send a courier to Xiangyang to contact the cavalry general.
When Wen Chang leads his army to leave Xicheng, I will ask General Chariot and Cavalry to lead the troops northward and send out the news that they will attack Wancheng.
Once Sima Yi gets this news, will he still dare to lead an expedition without restraint?"
"He doesn't dare!"
Mi Yang's reputation has already penetrated into the hearts of Wu Yi and the others. Based on his past achievements, his judgments are naturally convincing.
Looking at the confident Mi Yang, Fa Miao and Lu Yi's eyes sparkled.
When Wu Yi saw Mi Yang showing this side, he was deeply shocked.
After being shocked, Wu Yi finally understood something in his heart.
The Mi Yang that Wu Yi knew in the past was the Summer Sun who was good at political struggle and good at discerning people's hearts.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is also an extraordinary talent, but in troubled times where famous generals emerge in large numbers, this talent is not enough to establish great personal prestige.
But today, after Wu Yi met Mi Yang for the first time to explain his inner military strategy, Mi Yang exuded that kind of powerful aura from the inside out when explaining the military strategy, that kind of strong self-confidence that he had everything in hand.
, even Wu Yi, a long-time general, couldn't help but feel the desire to surrender in his heart.
This is the real reason why Mi Yang is so favored by Liu Bei and why he is so supported by tens of thousands of troops!
What does it mean to be a champion who is the best among all armies, and what does it mean to be a white deer with a radiant and untouchable edge?
Wu Yi thought he finally saw it today.
Wu Yi, who was greatly shocked, subconsciously bowed to Mi Yang.
When Mi Yang saw that Wu Yi and others no longer had any objections, he turned back to his seat and began to write his own handwritten order.
Mi Yang's conclusion that Sima Yi would not send troops to attack Hanxing County when Wancheng was in danger was also well-founded.
This is based on Sima Yi’s nature.
No matter how well Sima Yi performed in front of Cao Pi, he could not hide it from Mi Yang, who was a later generation.
Sima Yi is a very selfish person, he is not Zhuge Liang who only thinks about the country.
The outcome of sending troops to attack Hanxing is still unknown, but once his army leaves Wancheng, Zhang Fei is fully capable of capturing Wancheng.
Even if Sima Yi successfully captured Hanxing County at the same time that Zhang Fei captured Wancheng, so what?
As a defensive line to defend Luoyang, Wancheng's significance is not comparable to that of ten Hanxing counties.
When the stakes for risking are unequal, Sima Yi naturally knows how to choose with his intelligence.
Mi Yang quickly wrote two autographed letters and then quickly handed them into Fa Miao's hands.
"Send my two letters to Xicheng and Xiangyang as quickly as possible."
Fa Miao also knew the importance of this matter. After nodding solemnly to Mi Yang, he took Mi Yang's two letters and strode out of the tent.
After Fa Miao left, Mi Yang looked at Wu Yi and told him, "Delay Cao Hong with words for a few more days.
As long as you can ensure that Cao Hong's army has not arrived before Wenchang's army arrives, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, you will be the first to contribute to this battle in the future!"
After hearing Mi Yang's words, Wu Yi's face straightened.
He bowed deeply to Mi Yang and then slowly exited the tent.
Wu Yi was not as capable as Mi Yang, who stood on the overall situation and made immediate decisions to coordinate several battlefields, but when it came to how to argue with the envoys who wanted to surrender, he was quite good at it.
After Fa Miao and Wu Yi both left the tent, Lu Yi, who was left alone, asked the last question in his mind.
"Cao Zhen's army left Luo Valley a few days ago. The movement of that army is still unknown. If that army blocks the main road, can General Zhenbei reach Yangping Pass safely?"
Lu Yi's question made Mi Yang look at Lu Yi in surprise.
If Deng Ai were here and he raised this question, Mi Yang would not be surprised.
It can be said that Lu Yi was a person who was good at political strategy. Unexpectedly, he also had such insights in military affairs.
What Mi Yang didn't know was that, as the saying goes, people are divided into groups. In history, Lu Yi only lived in the heart of Yizhou to handle political affairs. Of course, he had no chance to show off his military talents.
And even if Lu Yi has some military talent, without experiencing a war environment, any talent will always be just a talent and will not be transformed into skills.
But in this world, Lu Yi's life trajectory has undergone tremendous changes.
Following Mi Yang, a lord with great military exploits, every day, he gradually became more enlightened in military matters, which was considered normal.
Mi Yang had just considered Lu Yi's question.
After thinking about it, Mi Yang just replied to Lu Yi, "I believe him."
All wars involve risks, and if you want to win, you must not be afraid of taking risks.
This is the same attitude of all generals in the world.
But the biggest difference between Jiang and Shuai is that when Jiang faces risks, he only thinks about taking advantage of them one-sidedly.
But when the commander of an army faces a risk, he will use his overall perspective, strategic planning, and overall reasonable deployment of human resources to eliminate this risk virtually.
Just as Mi Yang trusted Ma Chao, Mi Yang now trusts Wei Yan.
Who said there were no generals in the late Jihan period, didn't Wei Yan?
Mi Yang knew that even if Cao Zhen wanted to block the Hanzhong main road with a large army, it would be impossible for the Wei army to completely accomplish this in a few days.
The defense line deployed within a few days must have big loopholes.
If a few crude blockades could stop the only Wanhu Hou during Zhuge Liang's time in power, then Mi Yang would have no choice but to do nothing.
There is no weak general under a strong commander. Mi Yang didn't like Wei Yan's character, but he never doubted his ability.
Let's attack, Wei Wenchang.
Just as Mi Yang had judged, there was the existence of the Han River, and the messenger who set off from Yangping Pass soon arrived at the Han army camp in Xicheng.
The seat of Han Xing County was not in Xicheng, but in Shangyong.
However, because there was a waterway between Xicheng and Wancheng that could carry the army, Wei Yan had previously followed Mi Yang's instructions and stationed his army outside Xicheng.
If you think about it carefully, several months have passed since Mi Yang gave this order.
Wei Yan also led five thousand elite Liangzhou troops and waited in vain for several months in Xicheng.
At the beginning, even if Sima Yi's army did not take any action, Wei Yan knew the importance of his task, so Wei Yan was still very motivated.
However, as time went by, especially after reports of enemy battles came from all over Hanzhong, and things were still peaceful here on our own side, Wei Yan began to become unable to sit still.
Ma Chao defeated the Wei army twice in a row. Although it was a small victory, it also boosted the morale of the army.
Although Wu Yi and Mi Yang have not yet engaged the enemy in battle, at least their enemies have appeared. It is expected that there will be battle reports soon.
But what about yourself?
Not a hair on the enemy's face was seen.
Is it possible that he can only quietly watch the friendly troops making contributions in continuous bloody battles like before, and then miss the great opportunity to make contributions in vain?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he thought of this, Wei Yan's heart was as anxious as countless ants crawling.
Wei Yan wanted to write to Mi Yang several times, asking Mi Yang to transfer him to the front line. The best thing would be to replace Wu Yi in the defensive area.
But intimidated by Mi Yang's majesty, Wei Yan never sent out the petition in his hand.
Just when Wei Yan was becoming more and more anxious and desperate, he learned the news of the arrival of Mi Yang's messenger.
After hearing the news, Wei Yan happily scratched his beard several times.
He didn't believe the news that he was not allowed to fight this time.
With excitement in his heart, Wei Yan quickly received the messenger sent by Mi Yang and got Mi Yang's letter from the messenger.
Wei Yan couldn't wait to open the letter and read it.
After reading the contents of the letter, Wei Yan almost jumped up with joy.
The content of Mi Yang's letter was not small, but Wei Yan, who was bent on seeking war, only remembered eight characters.
"Regardless of anything, help Yang Ping quickly."
For Wei Yan, these eight words are enough.
Wei Yan did not bother to arrange for Mi Yang's envoy to rest, so he hurriedly issued military orders one after another.
Wei Yan's military orders became more urgent than the last, causing the sergeants below to complain and the envoy Mi Yang to frown.
The messenger had to remind
"When I was heading east, some Wei troops had already begun to block the Han River. Even if there were a large number of ships in the west city, it would be difficult for the general to go upstream."
The messenger's words were full of reminders, but after Wei Yan heard this kind reminder, he said disdainfully
"The enemy is encircling them, and I will go to them."
Has the world forgotten who was the first governor-general of Hanzhong in modern Han Dynasty?
When it comes to familiarity with the topography of Hanzhong, is he, Wei Yan, inferior to others?
Thinking of this, Wei Yan raised his head proudly.
There is another chapter in the early morning.
