After hearing Deng Ai's words, Ding Feng couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
How could Mi Yang suddenly come to the street pavilion when he was thousands of miles away on Baoxie Road?
If they were defeated in today's battle, it is possible that the street pavilion would be in danger, but if they win today's battle, their morale will be even higher.
Under such circumstances, His Majesty has no reason to send the general to Jieting.
Compared to Ding Feng's surprise, Jiang Wei's face showed a thoughtful look.
Jiang Wei's thinking was noticed by Deng Ai. Now Deng Ai no longer despised Jiang Wei, so he rarely took the initiative to ask Jiang Wei:
"Bo, what did Bo Yo think of?"
Deng Ai's inquiry disrupted Jiang Wei's thoughts, but Jiang Wei took the opportunity to express his thoughts.
“In today’s battle, the reason why our army was able to win was not because the enemy generals’ Zhang and He were not well-planned.
On the contrary, Zhang He's plan to lure the enemy was successful at the beginning.
Once today's incident reaches His Majesty's ears, Your Majesty will definitely be vigilant."
When Jiang Wei said this, Ding Feng was slightly startled, and then suddenly realized.
Looking back in hindsight, ordinary people can see that Zhang He turned the catapult, probably to lure the enemy.
Liu Feng was indeed affected by Zhang He's plan to lure the enemy, and led his army out of camp to fight.
Of course, we cannot say that Liu Feng made a mistake in this matter just because of this.
Due to the urgent situation at that time, Liu Feng thought of leading his troops out of the camp to destroy the catapults, which was a helpless move.
Ding Feng asked himself, if he were in Liu Feng's shoes, he would do the same thing.
Even if Deng Ai initially disagreed with Liu Feng's move to lead his troops out of the camp, once the catapult launched a fierce attack on the camp wall that was not defended by wet cowhide.
Then Deng Ai, who saw that it might be a trick by the enemy to lure them, could not help but lead his troops out of the camp in the end.
It is not difficult to see through the tactics of luring the enemy. What is difficult is how not to bite the bait released by the enemy.
Given the importance of the street pavilion, none of the Han generals currently at the street pavilion would sit back and ignore the risk of losing the street pavilion.
Let alone Liu Feng, Ding Feng and others, even Zhao Yun and Ma Chao cannot do this here.
Among the Han army, there were only two people who could not fall into Zhang He's plan of using street pavilions as bait to lure the enemy.
The two people were Liu Bei and Mi Yang.
It's not that the wisdom of these two men is really far superior to that of all the generals of the Han Dynasty, allowing them to come up with strategies to defeat Zhang He's plan to lure the enemy.
It can only be said that the identities of these two people are unusual.
Liu Bei was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Mi Yang was the general of the Han Dynasty. Their identities determined that they were the co-organizers of the Han Dynasty's strategy.
Why did the safety of the street pavilion become an unsolvable problem used by Zhang He to lure the Han army?
The fundamental reason is that in the current strategy of the Han Dynasty, the street pavilion cannot be lost.
Except for Liu Bei and Mi Yang, no matter how high their status is, everyone else is just the executor of the Han strategy.
Unless they choose to betray the Han, they cannot risk losing the street pavilion.
They couldn't issue an order regardless of the safety of the street pavilion - as long as this order was issued, there would be loyal people in the army to bring order to the chaos.
Because of the above reasons, the safety of the street pavilion became a rope for Zhang He to restrain the generals of the Han Dynasty.
Under the threat of catapults, this rope can be opened and closed at will to tighten the necks of the Han generals in the street pavilion.
From this point of view, the Han generals have no initiative in the war in Jieting - even if the Han army just won a victory today.
And what is the best way to cut off this rope?
Naturally, Mi Yang was transferred from Baoxie Road.
Because Mi Yang was the architect of the Han strategy, even if he could not defeat the threat of enemy catapults after arriving at the street pavilion, Mi Yang had the power to decide to abandon the street pavilion at the right time.
Even the street pavilion has the power to decide to give up. Naturally, the rope that uses the street pavilion's safety as a bargaining chip cannot threaten Mi Yang.
This is the fundamental way for the Han army to turn passivity into initiative.
Otherwise, even if Liu Feng can lead his army to destroy the dozen catapults today, the raid will be effective the first time, but what about the second time?
But the raw materials for Zhang He's catapults can be said to be inexhaustible.
Because it involved a sensitive power issue, Jiang Wei did not make his words too clear.
However, Ding Feng was not stupid. After a few words of advice from Jiang Wei, he gradually understood the truth.
But just when Ding Feng thought he understood everything, Jiang Wei continued:
"and."
and?
Could it be that there is another reason why Your Majesty would transfer the general from Baoxie Road?
Ding Feng felt that he could hardly turn his head.
After seeing Ding Feng's confused look, Jiang Wei explained with a smile:
"Today's defeat of the traitor army was not due to Zhang He's incompetent command, but to the lack of combat effectiveness of the traitor army.
The street pavilion is not only a must-defend place for our army, but also a must-attack place for the rebel army.
Since the street pavilion must be captured by the enemy, Zhang He will definitely learn a painful lesson after returning to the camp.
I expect that he will send a letter to Luoyang, asking him to mobilize the Luoyang Central Army."
Jiang Wei had lived under the rule of Cao Wei for a long time. He had an extraordinary family background and always cared about the general situation of the world. He also understood the distribution of Cao Wei's military power.
Cao Wei's original local elites were mainly distributed in Guanzhong and Jingzhou.
The elites in these two theaters are basically equal to each other now, so there is no need to worry.
But in addition to the local elites, Cao Wei also had a field army with extremely powerful combat capabilities.
That field army was the Luoyang Central Army that Cao Cao left behind to defend Cao's clan during his lifetime!
The combat effectiveness of the Luoyang Chinese Army had already been demonstrated to the world during the Battle of Xiangfan.
If not for Ma Chao's sudden appearance, the outcome of the battle at Xiangfan would have been the victory of the Luoyang Chinese Army.
Although whether an army can become an elite can be continuously cultivated through battles.
The Huainan Army had only been comfortable for too long, which led to a decline in combat effectiveness, but their foundation was good.
But Longxi was about to be lost, so where would Zhang He have time to train the Huainan Army into an elite division?
Zhang He knew this, and when Zhang He's letter was sent to Luoyang, the people in power in Cao Wei would also know it.
"At Zhang He's request, in order to quickly win the battle at Jieting, Cao Rui, the crown prince of the Wei Dynasty, is likely to transfer the Luoyang Chinese army to Jieting."
"The combat power of the Luoyang Chinese Army is unparalleled in the world and cannot be defeated except by a great general."
When Jiang Wei said this, his tone revealed determination and pride.
This is not only his opinion, but also the opinion of most people in the world.
It cannot be said that sending other generals will not be able to defeat the Luoyang Central Army, but if Mi Yang comes, it will undoubtedly maximize the possibility of victory.
How to choose is clear at a glance.
The most important thing is that compared with the gains and losses of one city or one place, effectively killing the enemy's effective strength is the most important strategy of the Han Dynasty.
“If the land is occupied and people are lost, both people and land are lost: people come first, then land, and both people and land are lost.”
This strategy was first conceived by the former general Guan Yu and formally proposed by the current general Mi Yang after it was perfected.
Since the two generals were famous generals who shocked China, this strategy has always been regarded as a wise saying by the Han army.
Especially over time, this strategy has demonstrated its full superiority.
Apart from anything else, the reason why today's battle can be won is because Mi Yang killed a large number of the main force of the Wei army in Guanzhong in the battle of Liangzhou?
The pride in Jiang Wei's words infected Ding Feng.
Even Jiang Wei, who had just joined the team, had such confidence in Mi Yang, so how could Ding Feng not?
After a while, Ding Feng said with a smile: "If the general comes, that would be the best."
Then Ding Feng looked at Deng Ai who was watching Jiang Wei, and he thought to himself:
The heads of these two people seemed to be different from his.
...
Zhang He returned to the camp with a gloomy face.
Because Zhang He's face was too ugly, Ma Jun did not dare to come forward to ask for a reward after seeing Zhang He come back.
Someone had already privately reported to him the performance of the catapult he modified today.
After learning the news, Ma Jun had been waiting in the camp with all his heart, thinking that Zhang He would fulfill his promise when he returned.
Zhang He had promised him that if his catapult could defeat the Han army's camp, then he would definitely ask the prince to reward him with a title!
It was precisely because of this promise that Ma Jun worked day and night to build an improved version of the catapult.
But Ma Jun has received too many cold looks in his life, so he naturally knows how to watch people's actions.
After seeing Zhang He's face, he didn't dare to say anything to ask for a reward.
It's a pity that Ma Jun knew how to control himself, but after seeing Ma Jun, Zhang He couldn't help but vent his anger on him.
"You told Gu that the catapult would definitely defeat the enemy camp, but what was the result?
If your catapult hadn't moved so slowly, how could I have been defeated today?"
Zhang He knew that today's defeat was due to the Huainan Army and even more to Man Chong. Man Chong himself was even captured by mistake.
But because he was afraid of the power behind Cao Xiu and Man Chong, Zhang He could not openly criticize them.
The anger in his heart urgently needs an outlet, so Ma Jun, who is standing aside and looks honest and has no background, is naturally the best target.
Ma Jun really didn't expect that Zhang He would blame him for today's defeat.
As early as the day the improved catapult was completed, Ma Jun reminded Zhang He that although the power of the improved catapult was doubled, the corresponding movement speed would be slower.
How could he blame himself for the defeat even though he had clearly warned him?
Ma Jun wanted to say a few words to defend himself, but before he could say anything, Ma Jun suddenly realized why Zhang He would put the responsibility on him.
Originally, Ma Jun thought Zhang He was different from others because Zhang He had treated him with great respect.
But now it seems that Zhang He is essentially no different from those who praise him as "the most clever name in the world" when he is in use, and ridicule him as "the most wonderful prostitute in the world" when he is not in use.
Thinking of this, Ma Jun stopped trying to defend himself.
After bowing slowly to Zhang He, he walked out of the tent dejectedly.
After arriving outside the tent, Ma Jun looked at the vast sky, feeling sad in his heart: Although the world is big, there is no place for him to stand.
Where is his enlightened master?
Zhang He just watched Ma Jun leave lonely.
After Ma Jun left the tent, Zhang He thought about the whole process of today's defeat, and he couldn't help but slapped the table in anger!
However, after calming down, Zhang He took out a blank document as soon as possible, picked up the brush and started writing on the document quickly.
