Chapter 553: Cao Zhang takes command and shouts from the street pavilion

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Mi Yang didn't know what Liu Bei expected of him, but if Mi Yang knew, he would definitely feel sorry for himself.

It is impossible to say that Mi Yang did not want to seize the opportunity to capture Chang'an.

However, with tens of thousands of Wei troops surrounding Baoxie Road, the opportunity that Mi Yang had been waiting for did not come.

While waiting for the opportunity, Mi Yang was very bored.

Mi Yang, who originally came from a later generation, was good at finding fun for himself.

However, after Sun Li's last meeting, no matter how much Mi Yang provoked him, he refused to take the initiative to leave the camp.

Sun Li's behavior is not because Mi Yang teased him during their last meeting.

Sun Li would be like this simply because he felt shameless to face Mi Yang.

When they learned that the Han army led by Mi Yang was a suspicious army, both Sun Li and Cao Zhen saw that Mi Yang had not been deceived by the "suspicious army strategy" in the first place.

Mi Yang saw through Sun Li's dubious strategy from the beginning, and the reason why he saw through the strategy but did not send troops was simply because the Han army was weaker than the Wei army at that time.

In other words, Mi Yang used a trick to make the Wei army feel complacent, so he spared no effort to mobilize reinforcements from Longxi, which gave Liu Bei an opportunity to take advantage of.

This shameful truth almost destroyed Sun Li's mentality.

The funniest thing is that Cao Zhen had previously written a letter to Cao Rui praising Sun Li's strategy of suspecting soldiers.

I wonder how Cao Rui and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would feel when they recall Cao Zhen's letter.

Teasing Wei Jun has almost become Mi Yang's innate skill.

And precisely because they knew Sun Li's shameful past, when the other Wei generals led their troops to Baoxie Road, they also resolutely closed their camps and refused to leave.

If you can't afford to offend, you can always hide.

Even Cao Zhang, who has always been fierce, is like this.

The Wei army did not respond to the request for war, and felt it was a pity to retreat. At this moment, Baoxie Dao seemed to be a piece of chicken ribs in Mi Yang's mouth, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard.

Under such circumstances, Mi Yang would of course be excited when he suddenly learned that he was going to the street pavilion.

After Mi Yang ordered people to bring Dong Yun down to have a good rest, he turned to Zhou Taiyan and said:

"I will lead five thousand soldiers to the street pavilion.

After I leave, the defense of Baoxie Road will be handed over to you."

Zhou Tai was quite surprised to hear what Mi Yang said.

Zhou Tai was surprised that Mi Yang did not intend to lead all 10,000 Han troops to Jieting.

In fact, when the Han army could not break out of Baoxie Road, it was of little use for the Han army to stay at the mouth of the Xiie Valley.

Wu Yi and his army were on guard at Baodaokou, so there was no need to worry that the Wei army would lead an army to surround Wei and rescue Zhao.

In this case, why did Mi Yang leave five thousand Han troops to guard the entrance of the Xiegu?

Seeing Zhou Tai's surprised look, Mi Yang didn't explain too much.

Because his arrangement is for the future.

Seeing that Mi Yang had no intention of explaining, Zhou Taiye bowed to Mi Yang knowingly and said, "My lord, I will definitely live up to the general's orders."

Facing Zhoutai's promise, Mi Yang showed a smile on his face.

Although Wu Yi led the army to guard Baodaokou, which could prevent the Wei army from encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, it was also very important that Xiedaokou was in the hands of the Han army.

Mi Yang believed that once the news spread that he had left the Xiegukou, the Wei army outside the Xiegukou would definitely launch an attack on the Han army's camp.

Mi Yang, who anticipated this, naturally wanted to find a suitable general for the Han army camp at Xiegukou.

After previous testing, Mi Yang felt that Zhou Tai was the best candidate to guard the Han army camp after he left.

After arranging for Zhoutai to guard the Han army camp, Mi Yang asked Ding Feng to go and send orders to the three armies.

Tomorrow, he will lead five thousand Han troops to march north to Jieting.

...

On the second day after Mi Yang led his army to Jieting, an edict from Luoyang was sent to Cao Zhang.

In addition to this edict, there is also a tiger talisman that Cao Zhang once mastered but has not seen for a long time.

Holding the cold tiger talisman in his hand, the contents of the edict read by Xin Ping, the messenger just now, sounded in his mind. Cao Zhang felt a mixed feeling in his heart.

The content of the edict was written by Cao Rui himself. The content of the edict was not complicated - Cao Rui asked Cao Zhang to command more than 10,000 Luoyang Chinese troops and march north to Jieting to support Zhang He.

Although the current situation was difficult, Cao Rui had no choice but to use the Luoyang Central Army.

But no one in the Cao family understands the importance of the Luoyang Central Army.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Cao Rui decided to hand over more than 10,000 Luoyang Chinese troops into the hands of Cao Zhang.

Some of Cao Zhang's previous actions were out of line, but after all, Cao Zhang was his uncle and the direct prince of Emperor Wu.

After all, the Luoyang Central Army is only safe if it is left in the hands of one's own family.

Cao Zhang's identity determined that he would never betray Cao Wei Sheji.

Cao Zhang's past military exploits also convinced Cao Rui that he could make good use of the more than ten thousand Luoyang Central Army.

The reason why Cao Zhang, who holds the Tiger Talisman, has mixed feelings is that since Cao Cao's death, his life has been full of ups and downs.

When Cao Cao was still alive, because he saw that Cao Zhang had extraordinary military talents, Cao Cao entrusted Cao Zhang with important tasks.

In the year when Cao Cao died, Cao Zhangguan paid homage to General Zhengxi, who was in charge of Chang'an and could command one hundred thousand elite troops in Guanzhong.

Cao Zhang even served as the commander-in-chief of the Luoyang Central Army for a period of time.

But not long after Cao Cao's death, due to Cao Pi's suspicion, Cao Zhang's official position and military power were reduced by Cao Pi.

From then on, there was no longer a yellow-bearded general in the world, only King Rencheng who seemed noble but was under surveillance everywhere.

Of course Cao Zhang doesn't want this kind of life.

But at this moment when he held the tiger talisman, Cao Zhang knew that his life was about to take on a new lease of life.

Originally, Cao Zhang thought that Cao Rui hired him just to use his reputation in Guanzhong to stabilize the morale of the army, but now it seems that Cao Rui is not Cao Pi.

Cao Rui really wanted him to defend Cao Wei Sheji.

As for this matter, Cao Zhang, as the king of the Cao clan, was naturally obliged to do so.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhang's eyes narrowed, and he ordered someone to fetch his armor.

When the armor he had not worn for many years was put on again, Cao Zhang's whole demeanor changed.

Not only did Cao Zhang's appearance become heroic, but his temperament was no longer decadent, but full of vigor.

As a military order was issued from Cao Zhang's mouth, the entire city of Chang'an knew the news.

...

Although Mi Yang and Cao Zhang led their troops to Jieting at almost the same time, Chang'an was closer to Jieting, so Cao Zhang arrived at Jieting before Mi Yang.

The news of the arrival of Cao Zhang's army was reported to Liu Feng by the scouts early.

When Liu Feng knew the news, no matter what he thought, the news quickly spread throughout the Han army camp.

The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and judging from the intelligence, the enemy's reinforcements coming this time must have elite soldiers and strong generals.

Therefore, this news brought a lot of pressure to the Han army.

Many people expected that perhaps one day soon, another war would break out between the two armies.

After Deng Ai and others learned the news, they were all overjoyed.

The Chinese army in Luoyang has arrived, can the arrival of the general be far behind?

Not to mention the reaction of the Han army after receiving this information, let us say that after Zhang He learned about this, he quickly ordered his sergeants to open the camp gate and personally went out to welcome Cao Zhang into the camp.

Even though Zhang He is now General Zuo, his official position is not worth mentioning in front of Cao Zhang's title.

What's more, Cao Rui can allow Cao Zhang to command the Luoyang Central Army to go north, which means that Cao Rui has already considered changing generals in his heart.

From the day Cao Zhang arrived at Jieting, Cao Zhang had already become the new commander of Jieting.

After Cao Zhang entered the Wei army camp, he was not in a hurry to ask Zhang He to hand over his military power.

He called Zhang He into the tent alone and wanted to inquire in detail about the whole process of the battle that day.

After fully knowing why the Wei army was defeated in that battle, Cao Zhang pondered for a long time.

But soon, he discovered a key point.

"The catapults are still available."

Cao Zhang's words made Zhang He nod frequently.

The Wei army was defeated that day, but the power of the catapult was also proven.

As long as the catapult can be used on the Han army camp wall without the protection of wet cowhide, the seemingly solid Han army camp will not last long.

This is an unquestionable fact.

And it’s not that Zhang He didn’t know this.

After Cao Zhang made his judgment, Zhang He bowed his hands to Cao Zhang and said:

"Since this period of time, Hehe has been ordering craftsmen in the camp to build catapults."

After hearing Zhang He's report, Cao Zhang had a smile on his face.

Zhang He undoubtedly thought of him.

Then Cao Zhang continued: "During the Battle of Guandu, the late emperor used hundreds of catapults to cause Yuan's army to flee.

Although the rebel army was not as powerful as Yuan's army at the time, if they wanted to defeat them with one blow, they would probably need at least dozens of catapults.

I wonder if Junyi can handle this matter for Gu as soon as possible?"

First he asked, then he made inferences, and finally he gave the task directly.

Cao Zhang is not sloppy at all.

Facing the task assigned by Cao Zhang, Zhang He made a rough estimate in his mind and quickly responded to Cao Zhang.

"In less than half a month, the king's orders will be completed."

It still takes half a month.

Although it sounds a bit unacceptable at first, if you think about it carefully, it is quite complicated to manufacture such a powerful catapult.

After thinking of this, Cao Zhang nodded and agreed to Zhang He.

Zhang He was also aware of this, and before leaving the tent, he voluntarily handed over the tiger talisman in his arms to Cao Zhang's hands.

After Zhang He left, Cao Zhang ordered someone to get the topographic map around the street pavilion and examine it carefully.

When he goes to war, he always likes to be prepared.

Just when the Wei army camp was working overtime to make catapults, a piece of shocking news reached the ears of Cao Zhang and Zhang He.

Mi Yang is here!

How did Cao Zhang and Zhang He learn the news?

Not from the mouth of the scout, but...

Wearing fine armor, Cao Zhang stood on the observation deck in the camp with his hands behind his hands, looking towards the Han army camp not far away.

Due to the obstruction of trees and buildings, Cao Zhang was naturally unable to see any confidential military information.

But the waves of high-pitched and enthusiastic sounds coming from his ears made Cao Zhang frown.

Waves of sound came from the Han army camp and continued to stir in the valley around the street pavilion.

Loud and long, like the cry of a mountain.

But the content of the sound was only three words - General.

It was these three words that made Cao Zhang, who was originally confident, feel doubts in his heart.

Dozens of catapults are enough for Liu Feng, but for Mi Yang, they are probably too few! If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) The Mi Han Novel Search Network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet. quick.
