Mi Han Text Volume Chapter 462 Empty City Plan On September 12, the third year of Han Zhangwu, Cao Hong, the cavalry general of the Wei Dynasty, led tens of thousands of Wei troops to approach Yangping Pass.
On September 14, the third year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, Cao Hong, the hussar general of the Wei Dynasty, issued an order for tens of thousands of Wei troops to evacuate Yangping Pass.
In just two days, Cao Hong, the cavalry general of the Wei Dynasty, made a shocking and completely opposite decision.
Because Cao Hong changed so quickly, the Wei army's tents were demolished before they were even built.
This caused tens of thousands of Wei troops to complain, and also caused some people in the army to criticize.
For example, Yang Fu.
The movement of the army is a matter of life and death. Since Wu Yi has decided to believe that he will advance to Yangping Pass, why did he come here?
Yang Fu, who felt that Cao Hong had messed up his life, immediately went to him angrily and asked about the reason.
Facing Yang Fu's inquiry, Cao Hong only said coldly: "Mi Yang is at Yangping Pass."
After hearing this, Yang Fu was extremely shocked and immediately left Cao Hong's tent and went to urge the soldiers of each battalion to leave the camp as soon as possible.
On the point of staying far away from Yangping Pass, Yang Fu and Cao Hong, the rivals, rarely reached agreement.
The reason why Cao Hong and Yang Fu reacted this way was inseparable from their fear of Mi Yang, but it was not just for this reason.
Just as Mi Yang predicted, the reason why Cao Hong wanted to capture Yangping Pass was an unexpected attempt. Yangping Pass was not originally included in the Wei army's offensive plan.
Therefore, after learning that this unexpected surprise might be poison that penetrated the intestines, Cao Hong and Yang Fu had no reason to stay outside Yangping Pass.
They came to attack Hanzhong, not to see the scenery in Hanzhong.
Cao Hong's reaction did not exceed Mi Yang's expectations, but unfortunately Mi Yang still didn't expect it.
Before Cao Qiaoqi broke camp and left Yangping Pass, perhaps for the purpose of saving face, or simply wanting to vent his inner anger, he wrote a letter and ordered it to be handed over to Mi Yang.
In the letter, Cao Qiaoqi showed off to Mi Yang as a victor that he had seen through his plan, causing him to fail.
From Cao Qiaoqi's point of view, it was a great victory for him to avoid being plotted by Mi Yang.
After reading this letter, Mi Yang did not feel angry at Cao Hong's "ridicule".
He took tens of thousands of Wei troops to the Yangping Pass for a two-day tour. When this incident came out, it was not that he suffered a loss no matter how he looked at it. He had nothing to be angry about.
Mi Yang just felt a little speechless.
Cao Pi cannot be entirely blamed for Cao Hong's tragic old age in history.
After Cao Ang died early, Cao Pi became Cao Cao's de facto eldest son. With such status, Cao Pi went to Cao Hong to borrow money, but was rejected by Cao Hong. He just refused and publicized the matter.
With Cao Pi's face-loving and petty personality, it would be strange if he didn't kill Cao Hong after he came to power.
And Cao Hong's letter further proves how low Cao Hong's emotional intelligence is.
But Cao Hong's letter also did Mi Yang a big favor.
Because Cao Hong, who has low emotional intelligence, asked Yang Fu to co-sign this "demonstration letter".
As a time traveler, Mi Yang knew that Yang Fu and Jiang Wei had a close relationship.
With this letter here, wouldn't there be a reason to write to Jiang Wei?
After Mi Yang handed over the joint letter from Cao Hong and Yang Fu to Wu Yi and others for viewing, Wu Yi and others couldn't help but laugh.
This sneer comes from the disdain in my heart.
Cao Hong didn't know yet that Mi Yang deliberately let him go and went to find bigger prey.
When Cao Hong learns the secret in the future, he and Yang Fu will probably die of shame.
After a burst of laughter, Fa Miao reported the latest military situation to Mi Yang.
In fact, on the second day after Cao Hong led his troops to Yangping Pass, Fei Yao had already led an army of 5,000 to arrive outside Yangping Pass.
The distance between Hancheng and Yangping Pass is not far, and Cao Zhen urged him many times, so Fei Yao was able to rush outside Yangping Pass so quickly.
Compared to Cao Hong's caution, Fei Yao didn't care so much.
Cao Zhen made it very clear in the military order, telling Fei Yao to approach Yangping Pass as quickly as possible, so that Mi Yang would use the rat weapon and not dare to ambush Cao Hong's troops rashly.
Because it was unclear whether Cao Hong had reached outside Yangping Pass, Fei Yao led his army directly into the mountain road at Yangping Pass.
It's just that Fei Yao is not a reckless person. After letting the army enter the mountain road, he directly started to march down the stronghold.
Although the surrounding steep terrain was not conducive to the full deployment of his five thousand troops, it was not easy for the Han army to rashly attack him under the protection of the camp.
After learning about Fei Yao's actions, Mi Yang was not surprised.
Although Fei Yao is not a famous general of Cao Zhen's level, he can still be considered a veteran. It is not surprising to have such an arrangement.
Wei Yan in the tent saw that Mi Yang was noncommittal about Fei Yao's arrival, so he took the initiative to ask Mi Yang, "Do you need Yan to lead his army to defeat Fei Yao's troops for Mu Bo?"
Wei Yan had the confidence to dare to say these words.
Although Fei Yao was in charge of the camp, building the camp could not be completed in a short time. If he launched an attack on the Wei army at this time, Wei Yan believed that with his bravery, he could defeat Fei Yao's troops.
Regarding Wei Yan's invitation to fight, Mi Yang refused with a smile:
"Cao Hong is a yellow bird, and the reason why I let him fly away from my hands is to capture Cao Zhen, the goshawk.
Fei Yao is far inferior to Cao Hongdu. How can our army lose big because of small things?
There is no need to scare off the enemy."
Hearing what Mi Yang said, Wei Yan gave up his intention to fight.
After Wei Yan retreated, Wu Yi stepped forward and asked Mi Yang: "Fei Yao has arrived with his army now. It is expected that Cao Zhen's army will arrive soon. I don't know how our army will deal with it next."
When Mi Yang talked about tactics to defeat Cao Zhen before, he only talked about using the time difference between Cao Hong and Cao Zhen to communicate information to lure Cao Zhen into the enemy.
However, Mi Yang did not elaborate on how to do this at that time, so Wu Yi asked this question.
When Wu Yi asked about this matter, Fa Miao and others in the tent also turned their curious eyes to Mi Yang.
Cao Zhen is a famous general in the world, and it is not easy to successfully lure him.
Facing the curious gazes of the four people, Mi Yang smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of the empty city strategy?"
When the words "empty city strategy" fell into the ears of Wu Yi and the others, Wu and Yi couldn't help but look at each other.
What does "empty city strategy" mean?
It is impossible to empty Yangping Pass and give it directly to Cao Zhen.
This idea not only appeared in Wu Yi's mind, but also in Wei Yan's mind as the name suggests.
Among them, Wei Yan had the most irritable temperament, and he couldn't help but speak out his thoughts directly.
But as soon as Wei Yang finished speaking, not only himself, but also Wu Yi and others laughed subconsciously.
How is this possible?
All four of them thought the idea was a joke.
But while they were laughing, they realized something was wrong.
Mi Yang did not smile.
On the contrary, Mi Yang's face showed a natural look.
Mi Yang's look directly caused Wu Yi and the others to fall into silence.
