At the end of September in the fifth year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, an explosive news spread throughout Guanzhong at an extremely fast speed.
On September 23, the fifth year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, the Han general used a trick to lure the enemy and lured tens of thousands of Wei troops out of Wuzhangyuan.
On that day, tens of thousands of Han troops and tens of thousands of Wei troops fought fiercely on the north bank of the Wei River.
When the two armies were fighting fiercely, Han general Mi Yang personally led another Han army to surprise Wuzhangyuan, cut off the return path of tens of thousands of Wei troops, and burned the Wei army camp in Wuzhangyuan.
Seeing that the main camp had been lost, most of the tens of thousands of Wei troops were disheartened and knelt down to ask to surrender to the Han army.
"The army turned against them, and the ground was filled with sharp swords!"
"The soldiers are rushing to kneel down, the momentum cannot be stopped!"
Within one day, most of the tens of thousands of Wei army's field elites became prisoners of the Han army.
Compared with the capture of tens of thousands of Wei troops, what is even more unacceptable is that in this battle, the Wei army's command system in Guanzhong also suffered an almost devastating blow.
Wei General Cao Zhen, Prince Consort Li Yuan, Commander Liang Cheng, Wang An, Zhao Yi, Yang Yu, and more than thirty senior generals of the Wei army were killed in the battle.
Twenty middle- and upper-level generals including Li Chong, the commander-in-chief of the army, Dai Ling, the commander-in-chief of the army against the invaders, and Cao Wan, the general of the West Guard, swore a blood oath to suppress and kill Mi Yang on the banks of the Weishui River.
Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou, Wang Shuang, the general Huwei, and more than ten famous generals who were famous in the world were captured by Mi Yang on his horse.
There is still a way to find the name, but it is not easy to find the name, and the number of Wei generals killed and injured is even more numerous.
The Wei army's command system suffered such a serious blow, how could it not be called devastating?
When the above news quickly spread throughout Guanzhong, the situation in Guanzhong became increasingly volatile.
This news is really top-notch.
The heads of the aristocratic families who had already raised their banners to submit to the Han Dynasty rushed around the county to tell each other the good news. Many of them even cried with joy.
They didn't bet wrong!
General Mi is still as fierce as ever!
Which aristocratic family in the world doesn't have the idea of having rare things to live in?
As for the heads of the aristocratic families who were still waiting to see the news, on the one hand they were shocked by the military power of the Han army, but on the other hand they no longer had the slightest hesitation in their hearts, so they decisively changed the flags of their county towns to
It became a red flag of the Han family.
Regardless of whether every head of aristocratic families in Guanzhong had the same previous practices.
However, after learning that Mi Yang had led his army to station in Huaili, the heads of prominent aristocratic families in Guanzhong either went there in person or sent their eldest sons as envoys to Huaili to meet Mi Yang.
Since there were so many representatives from the aristocratic families, Mi Yang, who was busy with military affairs, could not meet them all, so he could only focus on selecting most of the representative figures.
Among those people, the one Mi Yang cared about most at first was definitely Yang Xiao.
According to his previous agreement with Yang Biao, there is still a marriage between him and the Hongnong Yang family.
Originally Mi Yang did not want to take a concubine, but considering the situation at that time, unless he personally took Yang's daughter by his side, it would not be enough to win Yang Biao's trust.
Of course, given Hongnong Yang's family background, it would be difficult for a legitimate daughter in his family to accept becoming someone else's concubine under normal circumstances.
But who called that person Mi Yang?
Moreover, Mi Yang's wife is Guan Yan. With Guan Yan's status in the Han Dynasty, the Hongnong Yang family did not have the courage to have any idea about Guan Yan's position as his head wife.
Yang Xiao was very excited when he saw Mi Yang.
Yang Xiao had never met Mi Yang before, but he had heard too many stories about Mi Yang.
Mi Yang's deeds are enough to make anyone his age admire him.
Of course, the most important thing is that Mi Yang can be said to be the political umbrella of the Hongnong Yang family at the moment.
Relying on this, it was enough for Yang Xiao to be full of respect when he met Mi Yang.
Facing Yang Xiao's grand tribute, Mi Yang also made an intimate gesture of helping Yang Xiao up.
After helping Yang Xiao up, Mi Yang immediately said to Yang Xiao:
"Gu Ri has already submitted a petition to Your Majesty, requesting that Yang Gong be granted the title of Third Duke, a lord, and that the great scholars of the time draft a posthumous title for Yang Gong.
I think it won't take a few days for His Majesty's edict to arrive in Huaili."
When Mi Yang mentioned Yang Biao, tears immediately appeared in Yang Xiao's eyes.
But at the same time, there was joy on his face.
Based on what Yang Biao did before his death, it was only expected that the Han Dynasty would bestow upon him a Three-Gong mourning honor and a beautiful posthumous title.
But the matter of becoming a marquis was something Yang Xiao had never thought of before.
In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, it is not that there have never been stories of deceased ministers being granted the title of lord, but this move was not more of a reputational reward, but a reward of actual benefits.
Because once Yang Biao was posthumously granted the title of Marquis, then according to common sense, as Yang Biao's direct descendant, Yang Xiao could inherit Yang Biao's position as a Marquis.
How could Yang Xiao, who was proficient in etiquette, not know this?
Relying on the merits of his ancestors, he became a prince. This was the Han's recognition of Hongnong Yang's contribution, and it also revealed Mi Yang's attitude:
He will fulfill his original promise and protect the Hongnong Yang family in the coming days.
Mi Yang's attitude is very direct, and this attitude of Mi Yang is what makes Yang Xiao really happy.
Due to the joy in his heart, Yang Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment.
He could only thank Mi Yang endlessly.
After appeasing Yang Xiao, Mi Yang looked at Su Ze who was present.
The reason why Guanzhong was able to set off such an enthusiastic wave of righteousness in the past was naturally due to Yang Biao, but Su Ze's contribution should not be underestimated.
It can be said that Su Ze's move to kill Cao Gun completely added the fiercest fire to Guanzhong, which was already full of dry firewood.
When Su Ze saw Mi Yang looking at him, he immediately stood up and bowed to Mi Yang, waiting for Mi Yang's instructions.
But what Mi Yang said to Su Ze at the beginning was this:
"I heard that when Su Gong was doing justice earlier, he expressed his ambition with the words "dare to change the sky".
Now that the Han Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of heroes here, can it be said that the sky has changed?"
After hearing Mi Yang's words, Su Ze was stunned for a moment.
Then he reacted and a smile appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that the original slogan of the uprising would spread to Mi Yang's ears.
It's just that Su Ze, who has a strong temperament, will naturally not be unable to answer Mi Yang's questions.
Su Ze bowed deeply to Mi Yang and said, "How beautiful is the blue sky? I saw it today!"
Everyone present laughed at Su Ze's pun.
Yes, one hundred thousand armored Han troops can symbolize the national prestige of the Han Dynasty, so it is natural to compare one hundred thousand Han troops to the blue sky for the people in Guanzhong.
But there is no one here who is not a profound person.
The way Su Ze looked at Mi Yang when he said this clearly revealed the second meaning of his words.
How could Mi Yang not be the blue sky of the Kansai family?
Some things don't need to be explained clearly.
After listening to Su Ze's answer, Mi Yang also had a slight smile on his face.
Whether you should say it or not, you have to listen to the children of aristocratic families when you listen to praise.
But after Mi Yang finished laughing, he sighed again:
"Although most of Guanzhong has been recovered now, Chang'an is still in the hands of Ni Wei.
I have issued a military order to Your Majesty, and I will regain Chang'an for the Han Dynasty before this year.
It’s less than three months until the end of the year, and time is so tight that I feel worried every time I think about it!”
Whether you should say it or not, it depends on Mi Yang's attitude.
The heads of the Kansai aristocratic families present here saw Mi Yang's face suddenly become full of sadness, which also made their hearts twitch.
Right now, they all bet the future of their respective families on Mi Yang.
Under such circumstances, they would never allow Mi Yang to have any setbacks.
Su Ze now understood why Mi Yang had focused her eyes on him just now.
Among the many heads of Kansai aristocratic families present here, he is the only one with military exploits. In addition, he is also the general of the Han Dynasty, so there are some things that only he can take the initiative to ask.
Su Ze took a step forward, bowed to Mi Yang and asked:
"Although the city of Chang'an is fortified and thick, the great general's power must have spread into Chang'an now.
I think it is a time of panic in Chang'an City, so why should the general be overly worried?"
Su Ze put forward his opinion.
Immediately, Mi Yang confirmed Su Ze's opinion.
"Of course, what Mr. Su said is absolutely true."
After saying this, Mi Yang suddenly changed the topic and sighed a little more: "But what you don't know is that it has been nearly a year since our army entered Guanzhong to fight.
Today, our army's food and grass supplies are increasingly unable to make ends meet.
What I'm worried about is that once our army's food and grass are cut off, even if our army has the intention to capture Chang'an, it will not be able to capture Chang'an!"
Mi Yang talked about the worries in his heart.
After listening to Mi Yang's worries, the faces of all the heads of the aristocratic families present changed.
They were not members of Mi Yang's army, but Mi Yang suddenly revealed military secrets such as insufficient food and grass to them.
So isn't Mi Yang's purpose obvious?
What Mi Yang wants to do is what any enterprising person in power would do - collect food from major aristocratic families!
All the heads of the aristocratic families heard the unfinished meaning in Mi Yang's words.
But it was this unfulfilled meaning that caused hesitation to appear on the faces of many heads of aristocratic families.
Do they have food in their hands?
There must be some.
Although the Kansai Family has been quite quiet politically in recent years, and Guanzhong suffered from repeated wars in the early years, the geographical location of the Kansai Family is too good.
The place where the mighty Wei River flows through has created a vast and fertile plain in Guanzhong.
The wealth of the Guanzhong Plain is famous throughout the world.
With these unique geographical conditions, although the food reserves of many Kansai aristocratic families cannot be compared with those in their heyday, they can still be considered as "a small amount of surplus food."
Precisely because they had quite a bit of savings, most heads of the Kansai aristocratic families looked hesitant when faced with Mi Yang's implicit request for grain.
Donating food is a heartbreaking thing for them.
What's more, who knows how big the Han army's food gap is?
What if their savings are drained dry?
Of course, the hesitations of many heads of aristocratic families could not escape Mi Yang's eyes, but he did not get angry because of this. He just looked at those heads of aristocratic families with hesitant faces first quietly.
If it weren't for the shortage of food and grass in the army, Mi Yang would have gone to Chang'an long ago.
And if it wasn't for the purpose of collecting food and grass, Mi Yang wouldn't have much thought about meeting the heads of these aristocratic families.
The atmosphere in the lobby became a little dull for a while.
After Yang Xiao saw the atmosphere in the lobby change, an anxious look appeared on his face.
If his family's base wasn't in Hongnong, he would have brought all the food stored at home to Mi Yang.
Seeing that many family heads did not respond to Mi Yang, Yang Xiao was so anxious that he wanted to persuade him personally.
And just before Yang Xiao was about to speak, a loud voice suddenly echoed in the lobby.
"Jingzhao Du family is willing to donate tens of thousands of dan of grain to become the general's military equipment!"
The one who shouted this loudly was Du Shu, the contemporary head of the Du family in Jingzhao.
Du Shu is the son of the famous official Du Ji.
Earlier this year, Du Ji fell into the water and died because he was supervising the construction of a ship for Cao Pi. When Du Ji passed away, Du Shu succeeded Du Ji as the head of the family.
Because of the funeral, Du Shu did not serve as an official this year and stayed in his hometown.
Although Du Ji was a capable minister whom Cao Pi praised many times, Du Shu was a man who understood current affairs.
After the news of Su Ze's righteousness reached Jingzhao, Du Shu judged that Wei's strength in Guanzhong was exhausted, so he also raised the flag of righteousness.
After hearing the news that Mi Yang had led his army to Huaili, Du Shu came to Huaili in person as soon as possible for the sake of the future of the Du family in Jingzhao.
Because of Du Ji's reputation, all the family heads here know Du Shu.
However, Du Shu was still in charge of the Du family in Jingzhao and was not famous enough, so he was not seated near the front. Even Mi Yang didn't notice him just now.
Unexpectedly, it was such an inconspicuous Du Shu who was the first to break the silence in the lobby.
The reason why Du Shu dared to be the first among others was because of the idea that rare goods could be used to live in.
His shallow reputation is his biggest shortcoming at present.
But Du Shu knew that at this time, he could no longer follow the rules.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the current situation, as long as he is the first to respond to Mi Yang, he will definitely be treated differently by Mi Yang.
Otherwise, how can the Jingzhao Du family compete with the Fufeng Su family and Hongnong Yang family who have embraced Mi Yang early?
Du Shu was the first to donate food, but it also aroused the dissatisfaction of many heads of aristocratic families present.
Didn't Du Shu's actions put them on the fire?
Presumptuous, really presumptuous.
But just as Du Shu expected, his behavior attracted Mi Yang's attention.
After learning Du Shu's identity from Yang Xiao on the side, Mi Yang said to Du Shu in front of everyone:
"Jingzhao Du family's heart to serve the country is well known.
I would like to report to Your Majesty at the solitude meeting, suggesting that Your Majesty allow you to seize your love and become an official.
After winning the love, you can come to Gu's account and serve as the chief clerk!"
Mi Yang's words inspired Du Shu.
Strange things can be lived in, strange things can be lived in!
After rewarding Du Shu, Mi Yang, who had successfully opened a hole, changed his face again.
His expression now could be called serious.
"Is it true that the Jingzhao Du family is the only loyal family in Guanzhong?"
After Mi Yang's question fell into the ears of the heads of the aristocratic families present, fear appeared in their eyes.
At this moment they realized that Mi Yang was their blue sky, but the blue sky would also turn into cloudy sky.
What's more, with Du Shu's speech, they no longer had any excuse to refuse.
Mi Yang's serious look frightened all the family heads present, and they stood up one after another and offered food to Mi Yang.
Thanks to the "enthusiastic service to the country" of the heads of the aristocratic families, the Han army's food and grass shortage problem was basically solved.
After getting satisfactory results, Mi Yang finally smiled and asked all the family heads to leave, and escorted the grain and grass to Huaili as soon as possible.
Among the family heads, only Su Ze looked at Mi Yang with uneasy eyes before leaving.
But feeling the cold sweat on his back, he finally left the lobby with some uneasiness.
After all the family heads left, Mi Yang recalled the food donations made by the family heads just now. His eyes were filled with confusion as to what he was thinking.
It is true that he summoned all the heads of the aristocratic families to collect food today, but his purpose was not limited to this.
Even if they suffered from the war, are they still so rich?
Ah.
Mi Yang, who realized something, turned to Ding Feng and asked: "Do you think the Dahan built by Taizu is better? Or the Dahan built by Shizu?"
Mi Yang's question made Ding Feng stunned.
He didn't know why Mi Yang would ask such a question.
Mi Yang didn't pay attention to Ding Feng's stunned look.
Because he already has the answer in his heart.
Then Mi Yang said to Ding Fengyan: "Send an urgent report to General Hussar and ask him to block the enemy's reinforcements."
"I want Chang'an to be completely reduced to an isolated city.
The sky is not responding to the call, and the earth and the earth are not working!" 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.
