Looking at the newly completed fortress, Xu Sheng had a look of satisfaction on his face.
Xu Sheng believed that with the current strength of his own camp, he would be in an invincible position.
After the camp was set up, Xu Sheng ordered people to go to the rear to urge the troops to stay - it was not a problem for the baggage troops to be walking slowly in the rear.
But on the second day after Xu Sheng sent the envoy, Xu Sheng received a report that a large number of broken troops were attacking his camp.
The report emphasized that the defeated troops attacked from behind the camp.
When he learned the news, Xu Sheng had a look of horror on his face.
Those behind are his baggage troops!
But as more and more of the defeated troops rushed towards him, the last trace of luck in Xu Sheng's heart disappeared.
Listening to the defeated soldiers crying like father and mother, Xu Sheng's head was buzzing.
"Suddenly, a group of elite Han soldiers attacked you from behind?"
rear!
It’s the rear again!
Ever since he led his army to Yidao County, Xu Sheng had a lot of resistance to these two words.
Because Chen Dao had somehow been able to lead his troops to sneak around behind him without anyone noticing, thus escaping.
And today, for some reason, after Xu Sheng thought that the Han army was in front of him, another elite Han army appeared behind him!
Moreover, according to the defeated soldiers who escaped back, Chen Dao personally commanded the elite Han army.
Good! Good! Good!
If the Han army that attacked the baggage troops from the rear was personally led by Chen Dao, then who was the Han army in front of him who set up an ambush at Mount Weishan?
We have more than 10,000 elite troops on our side. Even if the Han army can set up an ambush based on the terrain, their strength cannot be smaller than his.
In other words, Chen Dao actually chose to abandon the large army? Or is it that the Han army setting up an ambush in the front is just a suspicious force?
And the most important thing is, how did Chen Dao lead his army around behind him?
Looking at the map hanging in the camp, which he read at least several times a day, Xu Sheng felt that his head was about to explode.
All kinds of speculations and the consequences of the loss of baggage made Xu Sheng's heart feel like it was on fire.
And just when Xu Sheng thought that was all the bad news, new reports of the defeated troops came back one after another, which made Xu Sheng feel so anxious that he fainted.
"General, the warships we came to were all burned by the bandits!"
Xu Sheng, who heard this sentence, had only one ridiculous thought in his mind before he fainted:
"The warship was destroyed, and now I am the one being attacked from both sides!"
...
In early September of the sixth year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, Mi Yang, who was outside Wancheng, finally learned of the changes in Jingnan.
Mi Yang expected that the Wu army would launch an attack on Jingnan.
But looking at the report sent by Wei Yan in his hand, Mi Yang still fell into silence for a long time.
There were many famous generals of the Han Dynasty sitting in the tent today. Many of them did not know about Mi Yang's plan in advance, so when they learned that Lu Xun had unexpectedly attacked Jingnan, their first reaction was quite shocking.
Most of them originally thought that Lu Xun was currently busy dealing with the Yong'an Incident and had no time to take care of others.
Obviously, many people have misjudged Lu Xun.
But after the initial shock, the Han generals were not in a panic mood.
Because sitting in front of them was the most famous general in the world for decades.
Mi Yang's existence made many Han generals stunned and then filled with endless anger.
He didn't go to Wu Jun to cause trouble, and Wu Jun didn't enjoy himself secretly, but he actually dared to take the initiative to violate the situation?
Just when the anger in their hearts prompted many Han generals to suggest Mi Yang to teach Wu Jun a lesson, the Han generals who saw Mi Yang's expression forced themselves to calm down.
They felt the sadness from the silent Mi Yang.
They also knew why Mi Yang was sad.
After a long silence, Mi Yang wanted to put down the memorial in his hand, but for some reason, the memorial in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and Mi Yang couldn't put it down no matter what.
The words are very light, but Wang Hong's affection for him is very heavy.
Mi Yang couldn't help but recall what Wang Hong said to him with a smile when he asked Wang Hong to go to Zhouling that day:
"Da Sima Zhenzhong!"
At that time, Mi Yang only thought that these five words were too ordinary, but today after learning about Wang Hong's fate, his heart felt as if a big stone had been blocked, and he felt uncomfortably tight.
"Why is this so?"
As the uncomfortable feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger, Mi Yang slowly uttered these four words to the generals.
These four words made the atmosphere in the tent become more solid.
The Han generals who were unaware of Mi Yang's plan only thought that Mi Yang was lamenting that Wang Hong's temperament was too upright, which was why he had such a tragic end today.
But those Han generals who knew Mi Yang's plan in advance could read Mi Yang's sadness from these four words.
They knew that Mi Yang had arranged a way out for Wang Hong long ago.
But Wang Hong didn't choose the path of life, but chose the path of death. Isn't it obvious for whom?
When the sadness in her heart reached its peak, Mi Yang could no longer control herself.
The angry Mi Yang slapped the report in his hand on the desk and said through gritted teeth:
"I want the Zhu Huan clan to be destroyed!"
Mi Yang's declaration was like a fuse, completely detonating the atmosphere in the tent.
Ding Feng took the lead and stood up angrily and asked Mi Yang for orders:
"I am willing to lead an elite force to go ahead and assist the public security!"
Ding Fengyi stood up to ask for orders, followed by more than ten Han generals who were filled with righteous indignation.
The contents of these dozen Han generals' requests were the same as those of Ding Feng.
All the Han generals in the tent knew that the most important thing for them at the moment was to lead their troops back for reinforcements.
But they are now outside Wancheng, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Wei army in Wancheng. They cannot withdraw all their troops southward at once.
Therefore, the safest way for them at the moment is for a general to lead some elite troops back to support the police.
The remaining troops were led by Mi Yang and slowly retreated to prevent the Wei army from pursuing them.
But this is a safe way, but Mi Yang is not going to agree to it.
"No!
I want to personally lead my troops back to help."
Mi Yang's words undoubtedly shocked the generals in the tent.
Even Zhang He, Deng Ai and others who knew Mi Yang's plan in advance did the same.
"Da Sima, you must not do this!"
Seeing that Mi Yang wanted to overturn the original plan, Deng Ai stood up in a hurry to persuade him.
After Deng Ai finished speaking, the other generals in the tent also added their words.
Now all the Han generals think that Mi Yang was stimulated by Wang Hong's death and made this irrational decision.
But in the face of the admonitions of his beloved generals, Mi Yang's attitude was quite firm.
"My mind has been made up."
Mi Yang's words contained a meaning that could not be rejected.
This made all the Han generals who stood up to admonish, dare not say anything anymore.
However, although Mi Yang ignored the generals' advice, he was not overwhelmed by the anger in his heart as the generals thought.
Mi Yang looked at Deng Ai and said to him:
"Our army has more than 60,000 elite troops outside Wancheng. I only took away 30,000. The remaining 30,000 are under your command."
As soon as Mi Yang said these words, all the generals couldn't help but focus on Deng Ai.
Mi Yang's words represent his complete trust in Deng Ai.
Looking at Mi Yang's trusting gaze, Deng Ai became nervous and began to stutter again.
"I, I'm afraid..."
In terms of qualifications, Deng Ai is not the highest among the generals today.
In terms of achievements, Deng Ai was only successful in some small battles.
Once Mi Yang leaves, Deng Ai may face an attack from an enemy force twice as large as his own.
In addition, Deng Ai's mission was not to hold on, but to retreat.
You must know that no matter how elite the soldiers are, if they are attacked by the enemy during retreat, they may be defeated thousands of miles away.
It is precisely because of such a thing that the consequences would be very serious if it was not done well, so at first the generals thought of letting Mi Yang do it himself.
But such a difficult and dangerous task, Mi Yang had no choice but to hand it over to Deng Ai.
How to not surprise people?
Mi Yang didn't care whether Deng Ai was nervous or not.
Deng Ai already has extraordinary qualifications, and he has been training in the military for the past few years. Although I cannot say that Deng Ai's current ability has reached the height of history when he defeated the Han Dynasty, it will not be too different.
He has spent all his energy training Deng Ai over the past few years, isn't it because one day, Deng Ai will be able to share important tasks for him?
"You don't have to refuse, I believe you!"
In front of the generals, Mi Yang said this.
These words made Deng Ai's mood slowly calm down.
The reason why he was thinking of declining just now was because Mi Yang's arrangement was too sudden. This did not mean that he lacked self-confidence.
Anyone with talent must be proud of themselves!
He thought about how Mi Yang trusted him so much, and also thought about the unfavorable situation in Jingzhou.
As a minister, how can you not do your best!
Deng Ai calmed down with a determined look on his face.
Under the gaze of the generals, Deng Ai solemnly bowed to Mi Yang:
"My lord, take your orders!"
...
Wei Yan, who was in Jiangling, received a secret letter from Chen Dao a few days later.
In the secret letter, Chen Dao said to Wei Yan: "The thieves' warships have been damaged, their vigor has been weakened, and they have failed to live up to their trust."
After reading this sentence, Wei Yan was a little confused.
Chen Dao has a humble personality and did not mention in detail his glorious deeds in the past few days in his secret letter.
Before, Wei Yan only thought that Chen Dao could lure Xu Sheng's Wu army as far away as possible.
But what Wei Yan didn't expect was that Chen Dao actually destroyed Xu Sheng's warships?
Of course, in terms of the result, Xu Sheng's Wu army lost their warships, which was the best situation.
But the question is, how did Chen Dao do it?
Wei Yan, who couldn't think about it at the moment, didn't get into trouble.
Wei Yan knew that when Chen Dao completed his mission, the next step would be up to him.
On the second day, Wei Yan summoned all the generals in Jiangling City.
In the council room, Wei Yan asked his deputy general Liu Yin to report the current progress of the Wu army to the generals present.
"Just a few days ago, Lu Xun led his bandit army to surround the police."
As soon as Liu Yin said these words, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became dull.
The importance of public security to Jingzhou is self-evident, but the generals did not expect that Wu Jun would move so quickly.
"A large number of thieves also blocked the main roads leading to the police from Jiangling."
Liu Yin then told another piece of information.
And this information made the faces of the generals present even more worried.
All the generals here wanted to send troops to rescue the police, but Xu Sheng's navy was on the river.
Although Xu Sheng's navy is no longer here, even if they can cross the river, it will be difficult to break through the pass on land.
Besides, who knows if this is Lu Xun's strategy to encircle the point and bring reinforcements?
After all, although there are tens of thousands of Han troops in Jiangling City, Jiangling is also very important and cannot be ignored.
And if there are not enough reinforcements, once they are surrounded by the Wu army for reinforcements, it will be a situation that is beyond redemption.
Wei Yan observed the worried looks on the faces of the generals present. After thinking for a while, Wei Yan said:
"If our army wants to rescue the police, it's best to go all the way down the river and bypass Zhouling City."
Based on the current battle situation, since a straight line is impossible, detouring for rescue may be a solution.
But the point is.
"Previously, Mr. Chen had inquired about the waters between Zhouling and Jiangling. Many iron ropes and iron cones had been set up by the bandits.
Given the situation of our navy, it may be difficult to cross that stretch of water.
I hope the general will think twice."
A deputy general in Jiangling City raised his hands and said to Wei Yan.
More than ten years ago, the Jingzhou Navy was as famous as the Jiangdong Navy.
But in the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu burned Jingzhou's warships to pieces.
Later, although Guan Yu always wanted to restore the Jingzhou navy, if he wanted to build a powerful navy in this world, he needed the support of strong national power.
It is a pity that after the Battle of Chibi, Jingzhou has been in turmoil for many years, and the national power has long been exhausted. Where will the remaining national power be used to develop the navy?
And even the Jingzhou navy in its heyday might not be able to break through the iron cables across the river set by the Wu army, let alone now.
Wei Yan heard the general's concerns, but with Mi Yang's clever plan, he didn't panic at all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just when Wei Yan was about to spit out Mi Yang, Wei Yan suddenly noticed that a figure was slowly approaching outside the hall.
When the figure walked to the door of the hall, Wei Yan stood up in surprise.
After seeing Wei Yan's performance, all the generals in the hall looked behind them.
After seeing the person Wei Yan was looking at, all the generals in the hall had expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Da Sima!"
Mi Yang strode into the hall with a tired look.
In the past few days, he led his troops to march day and night, and finally rushed back to Jiangling today.
Mi Yang's return surprised Wei Yan.
Because according to the previous arrangement, Mi Yang should be outside Wancheng at the moment.
Mi Yang came to Wei Yan and soon realized something was wrong.
Mi Yang asked Wei Yan:
"Where is Mr. Chen?"
Mi Yang's inquiry made Wei Yan wake up from his surprise. He quickly reported to Mi Yang the whereabouts of Mr. Chen and the contents of his discussion just now.
After listening to Wei Yan's report, Mi Yang nodded.
Then Mi Yang turned around and looked at the generals in the hall and said:
"What Chang Wen just said is right, our army can bypass Zhouling.
As for Lu Xun’s iron cable crossing the river?
It's just a joke in my opinion.
Even if he has a thousand iron ropes to stop me, I will definitely be able to break through the waves."
As soon as Mi Yang finished speaking, all the generals in the hall became excited.
"The final general is willing to accompany Da Sima!"
The excitement of the generals in the hall made Wei Yansuan's teeth almost break.
Who just asked him to think twice?
He seems to be the one who seems to be the most excited right now!
He was very clear that Mi Yang had not explained exactly what to do just now.
But Mi Yang's appearance seemed to make this point unimportant again.
In the eyes of the generals in the hall, as long as Mi Yang says it will work, it will definitely work!
Soon after, all the generals with excited faces left the hall happily.
After they all left, Wei Yancai asked in confusion:
"Why did Da Sima return suddenly?"
Wei Yan asked this question not because he didn't want to see Mi Yang.
Wei Yan felt that there must be a reason why Mi Yang suddenly changed his plan.
Could it be that he didn't do well enough and Mi Yang was worried?
Facing Wei Yan's question, Mi Yang replied without hesitation:
"To attack and destroy the bandits."
After saying this, Mi Yang softly uttered another sentence:
"As a good friend, I want justice."
Mi Yang's tone was not harsh, but when his words fell in Wei Yan's ears, Wei Yan couldn't help but feel a sudden chill.
