Chapter 66 Guan Ping asks for help (Ah! Read more, vote!)
When Mi Yang said the words "It's enough to serve me," it seemed that both Yu Jin and Guan Ping had noticed Mi Yang's purpose, regardless of others.
Mi Yang wants to take the initiative!
Mi Yang's idea made Yu Jin frown and Guan Ping raise his eyebrows.
When Yu Jin was under Cao Cao in the past, he was trusted by Cao Cao for his majesty and perseverance.
Therefore, among the five good generals with foreign surnames under Cao Cao, Yu Jin had the most conservative concept of leading troops, and his strategy of leading troops also focused on defense first.
But Guan Ping is different. He has followed Guan Yu since he was a child. In the environment where he grew up, Liu Bei's strength has gradually become stronger.
Therefore, at that time, Guan Yu was the only one who fought against others. Guan Ping, who followed Guan Yu forward bravely, his philosophy of leading troops also became infinitely closer to using offense as defense because of this influence.
Yu Jin and Guan Ping's different war concepts led them to show completely different attitudes towards Mi Yang's current idea of taking the initiative.
However, Yu Jin did not object to Mi Yang's idea from the beginning. He was a cautious person and wanted to hear why Mi Yang had such an idea first.
Yu Jin looked at Mi Yang and asked, "The chief registrar just said that he knows about Sun Huan's weakness. Can you help us clear up my doubts?"
Yu Jin guessed that the reason why Mi Yang wanted to take the initiative was that, as he just said, he knew Sun Huan's weakness.
In this case, Yu Jin wanted to hear what Mi Yang said about Sun Huan's weaknesses that he knew about.
After hearing Yu Jin's proposal, the generals present showed strong interest on their faces.
Understanding Sun Huan's weaknesses will not only reduce their fear of Sun Huan, but will also help them face the enemy in the future.
Mi Yang also knew this, so he did not hesitate to tell everyone present about his understanding of Sun Huan.
"As far as I know, Sun Huan will be eager to make great achievements here."
"Although Sun Huan was famous in Jiangdong at a young age, he was credited and praised by Sun Quan because of his clan origin.
But because of his youth, he has no meritorious achievements.
He was promoted to the rank of captain without meritorious service, which made Sun Huan always criticized by the local nobles in Jiangdong, saying that he was a lucky minister."
"This has always made Sun Huan feel aggrieved, and he often thought of making meritorious deeds to wash away the criticism."
Sun Huan's father, Sun He, was originally a descendant of Sun Jian's clan. He had followed Sun Jian in various conquests as early as Sun Jian's time.
Later, Sun Jian died in battle, and when Sun Ce started his own business, only Sun He and Lu Fan were the only ones who followed him, not avoiding hardships and working diligently.
Later, Sun Ce was assassinated and Sun Quan inherited Jiangdong.
Because Sun Quan was young, the generals in the Sun clan at that time, such as Sun Hao and Sun Fu, were dissatisfied with Sun Quan. One wanted to rebel, and the other contacted Cao Cao privately to recruit foreign aid.
This also led to most of the Sun clan members at that time expressing dissatisfaction with Sun Quan's rule.
At that critical moment, Sun He, who was also a member of the Sun clan and had a large number of soldiers, stood up to support Sun Quan, and only then did the Sun clan gradually begin to obey Sun Quan.
Therefore, Sun Quan has always been very grateful to Sun He.
Sun He later died unexpectedly, which made Sun Quan feel even more regretful.
Although Sun He died, for such an important member of the clan, his legacy has been protecting his descendants.
Therefore, Sun Huan was praised by his contemporaries at a young age.
Therefore, Sun Huan was able to become an important general in the army without performing any meritorious service.
But similarly, any achievements achieved under the protection of the previous generation will inevitably bring countless criticisms if they do not have their own merits as the cornerstone.
In this world, the criticism of scholars is enough to kill people.
What's more, the Jiangdong scholars had always been at odds with the Sun family, and Sun Huan, who had been criticized in all kinds of ways, had long wanted to make meritorious deeds to wash away this humiliation.
In fact, Mi Yang knew so clearly about Sun Huan not entirely because of his status as a time traveler. After all, many inside stories have not been recorded in history books.
Xu Xiang told him all this.
After Xu Xiang wrote the letter to Sun Quan, Mi Yang took him with him when he went south.
Mi Yang promised to save Xu Xiang's life. In addition to this being a deal between him and Xu Xiang, more importantly, Mi Yang valued Xu Xiang's identity.
Xu Xiang was the captain of Jiangdong and a close advisor of Sun Quan, so he must have known the generals in Jiangdong very well.
Mi Yang deliberately spared his life and took him with him, asking him to write down and tell him everything he knew about the character, past, and experience of the generals in Jiangdong, as well as all the inside stories of Jiangdong that he knew.
As the saying goes, the people who know you best are not your friends, but your enemies.
Xu Xiang was also a scholar from Jiangdong. He had always competed for power with Jiangdong's Huaisi generals and the Sun clan, and he knew these people very well.
This is much more detailed than any history book.
Xu Xiang also knew that he would not be able to return to Jiangdong in this life, so he worked hard for Mi Yang.
Not long ago, Xu Xiang wrote everything he knew into a book and gave it to Mi Yang. Mi Yang also specially named the book "The Treasure Book of Defending Sun".
During this period of time, Mi Yang, who regarded Jiangdong as his main opponent, had been reading this book day and night.
Without this treasure book, Mi Yang would not be able to understand Sun Huan so well.
After saying this, Mi Yang continued,
"Although Sun Huan was mistakenly praised by Sun Quan as "Yan Yuan of the Clan", his character was not as humble and polite as Yan Zi. Instead, he was quite impatient, brave and impulsive."
"Sun Huan himself is eager to achieve success, and coupled with his impulsive personality, now he has led thousands of elite troops to come. He has the upper hand. He is arrogant. Such a personality should be an opportunity to win."
Historically, during the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei sent forwards to attack Sun Huan.
At that time, Liu Bei's army was strong and the mountains were filled with Han troops. However, under such circumstances, Sun Huan actually dared to divide his troops and personally led a small number of troops to attack Liu Bei's forward.
This is enough to show that Sun Huan's character is not stable enough. How could Sun Huan with such a character not despise the police force with a small number of troops?
After Mi Yang finished his analysis, joy appeared on the faces of everyone present.
Since ancient times, it has been a taboo for a general to underestimate the enemy.
Now if Sun Huan is really as impulsive and underestimates the enemy as Mi Yang said, then even though he brings thousands of elite troops, he may not be invincible.
After Mi Yang finished speaking, Guan Ping's face was full of excitement. He immediately asked for orders, "Mi Du, Sun Huan is here to attack."
When the generals in the field heard that Guan Ping proposed to Mi Yang to take the initiative, because of Mi Yang's analysis, there was no longer a look of fear on their faces. Instead, some of them looked as excited as Guan Ping.
At this point in time, the Jingzhou Army, under the leadership of Guan Yu, generally won all foreign wars.
Under such influence, their morale is generally not low now.
Just now, they just didn't know Sun Huan well, and they thought about the large army coming from Jiangdong, so they felt worried in their hearts.
However, Guan Ping's request aroused Yu Jin's opposition.
Yu Jin turned to Mi Yang and said, "Although according to what the chief secretary said, Sun Huan underestimated the enemy Sun Jun and was a arrogant soldier, but there is no guarantee of victory in any battle.
Since our current priority is to defend the city, there is no need to risk going out of the city to fight with Sun's advance."
"If you win, it will be great."
"If defeated, our troops defending the city will be damaged, and the morale of the army will be greatly reduced."
"I hope the chief clerk will think twice."
