Chapter 557: Wanting to draw fire from the sky and lay out Chang'an

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Jiang Wei took Mi Yang all the way and brought him to the large tent prepared for him by Deng Ai.

It was already afternoon when Mi Yang led his army to the street pavilion.

In addition, it took a lot of time to talk to Man Chong just now, so when Mi Yang arrived at his tent, it was already evening.

Ding Feng entered the tent first and lit a candle for Mi Yang. When Jiang Wei saw that it was getting dark, he wanted to say goodbye to Mi Yang.

But Mi Yang didn't let Jiang Wei leave.

Mi Yang asked Jiang Wei to enter the tent. He had one more thing to discuss with Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei did not doubt that he was there, and entered the spacious tent at Mi Yang's greeting.

After Jiang Wei entered the tent, he discovered that there were many exquisite pieces of furniture in Mi Yang's spacious tent.

With the help of the flickering candlelight, Jiang Wei even discovered that the bedding on Mi Yang's couch was also made of Shu brocade, which was extremely valuable.

After seeing this scene, Jiang Wei remembered the rumors about Mi Yang that had been circulating among the Wei army before he joined Mi Yang.

According to rumors, although Mi Yang was victorious in a hundred battles and had the highest reputation in the world, he was not very restrained in his private life.

Perhaps because he was born into a wealthy family, Mi Yang did not inherit Liu Bei's frugal style in his private life. On the contrary, Mi Yang also liked brocade clothes.

Even during wartime when everything should be kept simple, Mi Yang would try his best to create favorable conditions for himself in his private life.

For example, when he captured Ershen, Mi Yang did it at a grand banquet.

According to the mainstream concept of the world, Mi Yang is of course considered a person who "loves extravagance and luxury".

In this regard, Mi Yang is quite similar to Huo Da Sima a hundred years ago.

In the past, Jiang Wei only thought that these were Wei Jun's slanders against Mi Yang, but what he saw with his own eyes today undoubtedly confirmed the rumors Jiang Wei had heard in the past.

But even though he knew the rumors were true, Jiang Wei didn't pay too much attention to it.

Lack of perfect personal ethics is indeed a shortcoming, but with Mi Yang's dazzling achievements, this shortcoming can be completely understood or accepted by the world.

Just like Huo Da Sima back then, as long as he can continue to make meritorious deeds for the Han Dynasty, who would dare to criticize him in terms of his personal enjoyment?

Jiang Wei stared at Mi Yang's Shu brocade quilt for a while, and Mi Yang saw his reaction.

Mi Yang naturally knew what Jiang Wei was thinking.

However, he likes to enjoy good living conditions regardless of the occasion, not entirely to satisfy his personal desires.

Mi Yang mainly used this method to draw a clear line between himself and a "famous minister through the ages" named Wang.

If he is not holy, don’t cue him.

Liu Bei also knew his thoughts, so when an admonisher informed Mi Yang of this problem, Liu Bei not only did not blame Mi Yang, but instead laughed and rewarded Mi Yang with a lot of gold and silver.

For example, the quilt made of Shu brocade on the couch was made by Liu Bei and sent to Mi Yang thousands of miles away by his master.

Seeing Jiang Wei's eyes withdraw from the Shu brocade quilt, Mi Yang said nonchalantly:

"Does Boyo have advice and advice?"

Facing Mi Yang's inquiry, Jiang Wei immediately replied: "The matters in the account are not something that I can criticize."

After listening to Jiang Wei's answer, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.

He invited Jiang Weilai to sit down in front of him, and then said to Jiang Wei: "Not long ago, in order to please Gu, Sun Quan specially ordered someone to send a band from Jiangdong.

Gu has been busy with official duties, but he has never appreciated the style of that band, which is quite a pity.

After our army returns to the old capital, I will hold a banquet in Chang'an City, and then I will invite you and I to enjoy the sounds of the southeast together."

Mi Yang treated Jiang Wei like a good friend and sincerely extended an invitation.

But Jiang Wei's face suddenly turned serious after hearing Mi Yang's invitation.

Having just sat down, he stood up again and bowed to Mi Yang: "In the past, Cen Peng led his army to celebrate the Festival of the Staff, and saw that he was harmed by assassins. Today, the general's position is respected and powerful, and the fate of the country of the Han Dynasty is tied to it. It is appropriate to learn from this. Don’t take the past as a warning.”

"Sun Quan is a man who must avenge himself when he is free. The general in the first battle with the Public Security Bureau has a bloody feud with Sun Quan, so it is even more appropriate to alert him!"

Why didn't Jiang Wei admonish Mi Yang when he saw the Shu brocade quilt at first, but why did he admonish Mi Yang when he heard that Sun Quan gave Mi Yang a band?

The reason is that Jiang Wei doesn't trust Sun Quan very much.

Sun Quan's duplicitous character is now well known to the world. Moreover, the people of Jiangdong are tough and have always been good at assassins.

For all these reasons, Jiang Wei thought it would be better to remind Mi Yang just to be on the safe side.

Mi Yang was startled by Jiang Wei's sudden advice.

But he soon laughed out loud.

Mi Yang had also heard similar advice from Liu Bei.

Compared to Jiang Wei, Liu Bei's words are much more straightforward.

"Sun Quan, a traitor, must have a plan.

Besides, if you like singing and dancing, it doesn’t matter if I send you my palace band as a gift. Why do you need Sun Quan to flatter you?"

To be honest, even without the advice of Liu Bei and Jiang Wei, Mi Yang was wary of the band sent by Sun Quan.

During the Three Kingdoms period, many important figures died at the hands of assassins, which greatly changed the course of history.

And Mi Yang is a self-aware person. There must be only one person in the world who wants his life, Sun Quan, but Sun Quan is not the only one.

The reason why Mi Yang kept the band sent by Sun Quan despite being wary was that he had a hidden agenda in his heart.

However, Mi Yang was still happy with Jiang Wei's advice to him today.

Mi Yang smiled and said to Jiang Wei: "I know what you said, so I will be more careful."

After hearing what Mi Yang said, Jiang Wei felt relieved.

Then Jiang Wei sat down again.

After Jiang Wei sat down, Mi Yang immediately told Jiang Wei the reason why he kept Jiang Wei behind for a secret conversation today:

"I wonder if Bo Yue still remembers what happened during the Battle of Gushan, when General Hussar launched a fire attack on the rebels?"

Seeing Mi Yang suddenly mention this matter, a cautious look appeared on Jiang Wei's face.

When Guo Huai led his army to attack Gushan, Jiang Wei was not in the army because he was injured.

But after he returned to the army, he heard many Wei army generals mention the scene when Ma Chao burned the Wei army that day.

To sum it up in one sentence, it’s so miserable.

And Jiang Wei is also a smart person. After recalling what he heard in the past, Jiang Wei reacted instantly and said:

"The general wants to defeat Cao Zhang with the help of that heavenly fire?"

Jiang Wei's reaction was not unpleasant, and he did guess part of Mi Yang's thoughts.

"Of course."

"The catapults recently used by the bandits, no matter how powerful they are, are still made of wood.

Perhaps the rebels were cautious and covered the surface of the catapult with rawhide to withstand fire attacks.

But raw cowhide can resist ordinary fire attacks, but how can it resist heavenly fire?"

Mi Yang didn't want to popularize scientific knowledge to Jiang Wei, so he could only follow Jiang Wei's words and call the fire caused by oil "Sky Fire".

After listening to Mi Yang's words, Jiang Wei's face lit up with joy.

Previously, the catapults of the Wei army were so powerful that they had always been a big stone in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, when Mi Yang arrived, he would actually come up with a way to destroy the Wei army's catapult, just as he said.

The strange thing is that he obviously knew about the existence of sky fire before, so why didn't he think of using the sky fire to destroy the Wei army's catapult?

In fact, Jiang Wei cannot be blamed for this.

The catapult modified by Ma Jun was extremely powerful and could pose a great threat to the Han army's fortress. This was a sign that Cao Wei's productivity was ahead of Ji Han's.

The wheeled catapult was modified on the basis of Cao Wei's original thunderbolt chariot, but Ji Han did not possess such a world-class siege equipment as the thunderbolt chariot.

It's not that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang didn't pay attention to this aspect of development, it's just that most of Ji Han's base was in the south. At that time, many in the south were in an uncivilized stage.

In terms of the accumulation of technology, the number and skills of craftsmen, and the guarantee of national power for the research and development of military weapons, Ji Han was far inferior to Cao Wei.

This is true.

Even if Mi Yang wants to reverse this situation, technological development must be supported by strong national power, complete institutional guarantees, corresponding talent reserves, and must follow the objective laws of the development of the times, etc.

All of the above are fundamentally limited. If you want to develop advanced technology, it cannot be accomplished by just touching your upper and lower lips.

In addition, Jiang Wei could not think of using "sky fire" to destroy Ma Jun's catapult, because Jiang Wei had the limitations of being an ancient man in his thinking.

In today's world, the word science does not yet have a systematic understanding for the world.

Given this historical background, Ma Jun's wheeled catapult was like magic in the world.

When faced with "magic" that they cannot understand, people in the world usually just follow common sense and think of using military skills to defeat the magic with force.

But he won't subconsciously think divergently and think of other ways to break the magic.

But Mi Yang is a time traveler.

There is a saying in later generations called "defeat magic with magic!"

Mi Yang knows how to achieve overtaking in corners with science and technology.

Mi Yang asked Jiang Wei to get closer, and then he whispered something in Jiang Wei's ear.

Only Jiang Wei could hear what Mi Yang said, and as Jiang Wei heard more content, the look of shock on his face became more and more obvious.

General, how did you know this?

He is obviously not from Liangzhou!

After whispering, Mi Yang also noticed the shocked look on Jiang Wei's face.

A similar look appeared on Zhuge Liannu's face when he saw him in Mi Yang.

However, he had no intention of explaining.

Sometimes those in power need to maintain a certain sense of mystery to enhance their majesty.

After giving all the instructions, Mi Yang said to Jiang Weiyan:

"At dawn tomorrow, you will lead five hundred elite soldiers and set off immediately.

After you reach your goal, be sure to do what you said.

The day you come back will be the time to defeat the enemy alone!"

Mi Yang's words made Jiang Wei stand up again. After bowing to Mi Yang cautiously, he walked out of the tent.

Jiang Wei knew very well that Mi Yang could entrust him with such an important task, not only because he was from Liangzhou, but also because Mi Yang valued him.

Jiang Wei would not let himself live up to Mi Yang's respect.

After Jiang Wei left the tent, Mi Yang asked Ding Feng to summon Wang Hong, who was accompanying the army.

When Wang Hong came to him, Mi Yang immediately asked him:

"Is there any news from Meng Da?"

Meng Da, under Mi Yang's instruction, entered Fufeng County to stir up trouble.

Calculating the time, this incident has been going on for a month. It stands to reason that Mengda should have some results.

But after Wang Hong listened to Mi Yang's inquiry, he shook his head at him and said:

"Not yet."

As he became the intelligence chief, Wang Hong's words became more and more concise and concise.

After receiving this answer, Mi Yang frowned.

He doesn't care about Meng Da's life or death, he cares about the news about Meng Da's life or death.

But soon, Mi Yang put this matter aside for the time being.

A new command came from his mouth:

"Send a message to Hua'an and ask for Chang'an's city defense map. The more detailed the better."

Wang Hong quickly accepted Mi Yang's new instructions and left.

After Wang Hong also left the big tent, the big tent fell into silence again.

After a while, Mi Yang muttered to himself in the big tent:

"The most fortified city in the world?

Then let’s see if you are really that hard!” If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han’s novel search website has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
