Didn't Zhao Yun resist the Wei army in Shanggui? Why did he come to Jieting?
This comes from a military report Mi Yang wrote to Liu Bei.
Although the Jieting battlefield and the Shanggui battlefield are far apart, in essence, the two battlefields are closely related to each other.
Therefore, in the past, Liu Bei and Mi Yang, as the commanders of the two battlefields, often exchanged letters and exchanged information in private.
After Mi Yang won a victory some time ago, he wrote a battle report and sent it to Shanggui as usual.
But in this ordinary battle report, Mi Yang told Liu Bei something unusual.
That thing was to ask Liu Bei to transfer Zhao Yun from Shanggui to Jieting.
Mi Yang made this request because of two considerations.
The first consideration is that as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Mi Yang has confidence in Jiang Wei, but he must be prepared in advance for Jiang Wei's failure.
If Jiang Wei fails to complete the task assigned to him by Mi Yang, then Mi Yang will consider how to storm the Wei army camp.
After the Wei army was defeated in that battle, Cao Zhang did lose a lot of troops, but there were still not a few Wei soldiers in the Wei army camp.
Under such circumstances, if Mi Yang wanted to storm the Wei army's camp, he must have enough troops and horses in his hands.
At present, the main force of the Han army in the Northern Expedition is in Liu Bei's army. If Mi Yang wants to strengthen the Han army at the street pavilion, he naturally has to ask Liu Bei for soldiers and generals.
And since one must be prepared in advance for Jiang Wei's failure, then Mi Yang must also be prepared in advance for Jiang Wei's success.
Jiang Wei's success means that the Han army's victory in Jieting has been determined.
So what Mi Yang has to think about is what he should do next in this situation.
Many people have guessed what kind of tactics Mi Yang would adopt after the Han army won the battle at Jieting.
Many people, including not only Cao Zhang and Zhang He, but also the Han generals in Jieting, had guessed this.
For Cao Zhang, he believed that after Mi Yang won the battle of Jieting, he would mainly adopt two tactics.
One tactic is to occupy Anping, separate the connection between the Hexi Corridor and Guanzhong, and then return to the army to gradually plot the Hexi Corridor.
Another tactic is to adopt a forced march, leading the army all the way to the back of Cao Zhen's army, and together with the Han army commanded by Liu Bei, attack Cao Zhen's army from both front and rear.
In Cao Zhang's view, these two tactics have their own merits. One seeks stability and the other seeks surprise. Even he can't guess what Mi Yang will do next.
In the view of Liu Feng, Ding Feng, Deng Ai and other Han generals, after Mi Yang defeated Cao Zhang's army, he would probably go all the way south from Anding and approach Chang'an.
But neither Cao Zhang, Zhang He, nor Liu Feng, Deng Ai and others could really guess what Mi Yang wanted to do next.
Mi Yang will not adopt any of the above tactics. What he wants to do is go to Shanggui to take over the main force of the Han army!
The strategic goal of Mi Yang's Northern Expedition was to capture Chang'an and return it to the old capital.
Under this strategic goal, although winning the Hexi Corridor will greatly enhance the national power of the Han Dynasty, it will definitely not be Mi Yang's first goal.
Because once the Wei army in Jieting is defeated, the Hexi Corridor will be a ripe fruit for the Han army to pick.
In this case, why rush?
As for the rapid march to the back of Cao Zhen's army, although this tactic seems to be able to deliver a fatal blow to Cao Zhen's army, the actual situation is not like this.
The reason is simple. Jiang Wei relied on surprise to capture Lueyang County.
Surprise can greatly increase Jiang Wei's probability of success, but there is one thing that cannot be guaranteed - Jiang Wei cannot capture all of the thousands of cavalry.
If the thousands of cavalry cannot be captured, then the news of the loss of Lueyang County will definitely reach Cao Zhen's ears.
And if Cao Zhen knows the news, it won't be too late.
From Lueyang to Shanggui, there are many plains, and those who fled to report the news were all the elite cavalry of the Wei army.
Cao Zhen is a good general no matter what.
Once he learned about the loss of Lueyang, he could immediately judge the situation of the Wei army in Jieting based on his talent.
For the Han army, the situation in the two battlefields of Jieting and Shanggui was interdependent, and the same was true for the Wei army.
Therefore, after Cao Zhen learned the news, he probably had to withdraw his troops to Chencang immediately.
In this way, the tactics behind the surprise attack on Cao Zhen's army will not work.
As for the tactic that the generals within the Han army thought of, it was essentially a replica of the "Ziwu Valley Conspiracy."
After breaking through Jieting, Mi Yang could lead his army all the way south to Chang'an, but if Mi Yang did this, the Han army's food route would be much longer.
However, Cao Zhen's army has not yet been wiped out. After hearing the news, Cao Zhen sent a cavalry army to cut off Mi Yang's food road. Then the Cao Zhang of today will be Mi Yang of tomorrow.
Even though Mi Yang could safely lead his army to the city of Chang'an, Liu Feng and others may have too much faith in Mi Yang, and they subconsciously ignored that Chang'an was an imperial capital for a century, and its city defenses were among the best in the world.
With the strength of Chang'an's city defense, attacking Chang'an would be a protracted and even fierce battle.
Mi Yang currently has only more than ten thousand Han troops at his disposal, and he does not have a large number of siege equipment in the army. With such preparations, how can he defeat the hard nut of Chang'an?
Do you really think that Xia Houmao would abandon the city and flee as soon as he heard Mi Yang's arrival, as Wei Yan said?
Mi Yang's reputation is very great, but Cao Zhen's tens of thousands of Wei troops can return to defend Chang'an at any time. It is one thing that Xia Houzhuo is not good at military strategy, but Mi Yang feels that he is not a fool.
Mi Yang would not pin the safety of his own army and the hope of attacking Chang'an on the unreliable question of whether the enemy is mentally retarded.
Mi Yang knew from the beginning to the end that in order to conquer Chang'an, he must have enough strength and be in an invincible situation before he could do this.
Therefore, Mi Yang would previously propose the Northern Expedition strategy of first occupying Liangzhou and then planning for Guanzhong.
Now it is only a matter of time before Liangzhou falls back into the arms of the Han Dynasty. One hundred thousand Han troops have a base in Kansai, and the strategic preparations for an invincible position have been achieved.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So what Mi Yang needs to do next is to integrate most of the Han army in Liangzhou as soon as possible and advance towards Chang'an along the Weishui Avenue!
Now that we have reached this point, we can no longer rely on a sudden attack to win by chance.
The master of the king, in order to punish the people and attack the country, what he wants is to be majestic and dignified in order to devour the pass!
Mi Yang only discussed this plan with Liu Bei.
In order to complete this plan, a general must be sent to replace Mi Yang as the commander-in-chief in Jieting.
Mi Yang thought about that general, and Zhao Yun was the only one who was the most suitable.
Although Cao Zhang still has a lot of Wei troops in his hands, if Jiang Wei can successfully regain Lueyang, then no matter how many Wei troops Cao Zhang has, he will not be able to escape the outcome of defeat.
The only thing that needs to be worried is that Cao Zhang will lead the Wei army to fight against the trapped beast.
Among the Han generals who are currently qualified to replace Mi Yang, Zhao Yun is one of the first-class good defenders.
With Zhao Yun's ability and the Han army's strong fort as a barrier, after Mi Yang left Jieting, he was able to successfully complete the "movement of trapping the army" done by Bai Qi in history.
While Liu Feng and others were still thinking about the gains and losses in the street pavilion, Mi Yang's mind could not help but wander to Chang'an, thousands of miles away.
Chang'an was the gift that he, the great general, should give to the great Han.
Seeing that it was already getting late, Mi Yang thought that Zhao Yun would most likely not arrive today, so he waved his subordinates in the tent to leave with a lack of interest.
Then Mi Yang returned to the inner tent and prepared to rest.
But at first, Mi Yang kept tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
It's not that Mi Yang's bed is not soft, nor is his quilt not warm, it's that Mi Yang has been thinking about when Zhao Yun will arrive.
According to the time calculation, his Uncle Zhao should arrive in these two days.
But what about people?
As time went by, Mi Yang became more and more sleepy, and finally fell asleep with this question in mind.
Before Mi Yang could sleep for long, he was gently woken up from his sleep by Ding Feng.
Mi Yang, who had just been shaken awake, was still in a daze. He only saw Ding Feng's face, showing some joy.
However, something that Ding Feng reported later made Mi Yang suddenly wake up from her confusion.
"General, General Zuo is here."
General Zuo is Zhao Yun's current military position.
After hearing the news, Mi Yang woke up from her daze and jumped up from the bed.
He didn't even have time to put on his socks and walked out of the tent.
Seeing Mi Yang's eager look, Ding Feng thought that Mi Yang missed Zhao Yun too much.
After all, according to rumors, among all the uncles, Zhao Yun has the best relationship with Mi Yang when he was young.
Back then, Zhao Yun wanted to marry his daughter to Mi Yang.
But although he was considerate of Mi Yang's longing, the sensible Ding Feng quickly took a cloak and put it on Mi Yang's body.
Although summer has now entered, the northwest has always had a large temperature difference between day and night, and you will still feel a little cold at night.
Mi Yang walked very quickly, and after a while he walked out of the tent and saw a tall man standing under the moonlight.
This man is not Mi Yang's Uncle Zhao, so who is he?
The moment Mi Yang walked out of the tent, Zhao Yun also noticed the noise and looked towards the steps.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Yun saw Mi Yang without shoes or socks and wearing a cloak.
After seeing what Mi Yang was wearing, a look of relief appeared on Zhao Yun's face, and warmth flowed in his heart.
Even though his status with Mi Yang is no longer comparable, even though he and Mi Yang haven't gotten along well for several years, it can be seen from Mi Yang's performance tonight that Mi Yang still has deep feelings for him in her heart.
Although Zhao Yun was moved, he did not forget the etiquette.
When Mi Yang was about to come to him, Zhao Yun bowed to Mi Yang and said, "I pay my respects to the general."
Zhao Yun has always been so clear-cut between public and private matters.
But after Mi Yang heard Zhao Yun's name, a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
"In front of outsiders, my uncle should call me a general.
But it’s late at night and there are no outsiders, so my uncle’s name is Yang Yang.”
After saying these words, Mi Yang couldn't wait to pull Zhao Yun towards the big tent.
Faced with Mi Yang's enthusiastic performance, Zhao Yun did not stop him and allowed Mi Yang to pull him.
Otherwise, no matter how hard Zhao Yun tried, Mi Yang wouldn't be able to pull Zhao Yun.
After pulling Zhao Yun into the tent, Mi Yang led Zhao Yun all the way to the main seat in the tent, wanting Zhao Yun to sit down.
Zhao Yun just declined Mi Yang's move.
But Mi Yang was very persistent.
"In the big tent tonight, there are no Han generals and General Zuo, only a pair of uncles and nephews.
Elders should sit down, this is the way of human relations."
After seeing Mi Yang's resolute attitude, Zhao Yun sat down on the main seat helplessly.
After Zhao Yun sat down, Mi Yang was satisfied and found a seat nearby to sit down.
Then he asked Zhao Yun: "How many soldiers and horses did my uncle bring this time?"
After hearing Mi Yang's inquiry, Zhao Yun stroked his beard and replied: "Ten thousand horses.
It is already dark, and the ten thousand horses are resting outside the camp."
Zhao Yun's answer made Mi Yang nodded.
At present, there are more than ten thousand soldiers in the Han army's camp.
After adding the 10,000 troops brought by Zhao Yun, the Han army in Jieting reached 20,000, which was enough.
Zhao Yun saw that Mi Yang fell into deep thought after asking this question. He thought Mi Yang had encountered some trouble, so he took the initiative to ask:
"But what brave generals are there in the rebel army that Zi Sheng can't deal with?"
Although Zhao Yun was sent by Liu Bei, when Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun here, he only told him to follow Mi Yang's arrangements after arriving at the street pavilion.
So Zhao Yun doesn't know about the plan between Mi Yang and Liu Bei now.
Zhao Yun knew that Mi Yang had just won a victory not long ago, but on the way here he found out that the Han army had not made any new progress in Jieting.
This is obviously inconsistent with common sense.
Coupled with Mi Yang's silent expression at the moment, Zhao Yun easily mistakenly thought that Mi Yang had encountered something troublesome.
As for what was bothering him, Zhao Yun thought it was not difficult to guess.
In terms of resourcefulness, Mi Yang is unparalleled in the world.
However, he has been lazy since he was a child. As a result, under the guidance of San Hu, his martial arts has always been poor, and there are no outstanding generals among Mi Yang's subordinates.
So Zhao Yun thought that there must be some brave general in the Wei army who disrupted the Han army's actions and gave Mi Yang a headache.
This may be the reason why Mi Yang called him by name and asked him to come to the street pavilion.
He doesn't dare to boast about anything else, but he is the best at picking off and killing strong generals!
When Zhao Yun asked, his face showed an eagerness to try.
Zhao Yun's words and demeanor let Mi Yang know that he had misunderstood.
In order to clear up Zhao Yun's misunderstanding, Mi Yang informed Zhao Yun of the current battle situation between the two armies - including the fact that Lueyang was occupied by Jiang Wei.
When he learned about this, Zhao Yun's expression changed from eager to try to shocked and inexplicable.
Zhao Yun looked at Mi Yang closely. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.
Only a sigh came out of Zhao Yun's mouth.
What, the current situation is that he can leave as soon as he comes?
Young people, how about leaving some outlets for veterans?
After hearing Zhao Yun's sigh, Mi Yang was a little puzzled. Shouldn't he be happy about this?
However, Mi Yang didn't care about this. He quickly informed Zhao Yun of his intention to ask Zhao Yun to come.
After learning Mi Yang's intention, Zhao Yun was surprised again.
Surprised, Zhao Yun subconsciously asked Mi Yang: "Where will Zi Sheng go?"
Mi Yang answered quickly: "Shanggui."
Zhao Yun asked again: "Why are you going?"
In response to Zhao Yun's question, Mi Yang showed a determined look on his face, and he solemnly replied:
"Bringing the big man back home!" 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.
