Chapter 486: Deng Ai is trained and the Wei army attacks the city
The three words "Dingjun Mountain" have special significance in Liu Bei's development process.
Everyone knows that before Liu Bei became King of Hanzhong, Liu Bei fought a great battle with Cao Cao.
The result of that battle ended with Liu Bei winning.
The victory in the Battle of Hanzhong was the first and biggest victory that Liu Bei's group achieved against Cao Cao's group in the true sense.
The results achieved in the Battle of Hanzhong were even greater than those of the two Battles of Xiangfan. It was that battle that directly ruined his life. Liu Bei, who was looked down upon by others, had the capital to become king in the world.
And why did Liu Bei win the Battle of Hanzhong?
In addition to the fact that Zhuge Liang, a super big guy, worked desperately to ensure the logistics of the Han army, there is another very important reason:
On the advice of Fazheng, Liu Bei made a surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain and killed the Wei army's commander Xia Houyuan, thus taking advantage of the situation to occupy most of the favorable terrain in Hanzhong.
With the favorable geographical location, people and people inferior to the Han army, Cao Cao deliberately wanted to take back Hanzhong, but in the end he chose to retreat sadly.
However, since there are no historical materials that detail the process of the Battle of Hanzhong at that time, everyone in the world knows about the amazing surprise of the Han army's surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain, but few people know why the Han army chose this tactic.
This tactic originated from the helplessness of the Han army.
Back then, Liu Bei led his army out of Jiange Pass with the intention of capturing Hanzhong. If he wanted to capture Hanzhong, Yangping Pass was always an unavoidable obstacle.
After Liu Bei led his army to the Yangping Pass, he mobilized tens of thousands of Han troops to launch a fierce attack on Yangping Pass for a long time. However, due to the danger of Yangping Pass, the Han army was unable to capture Yangping Pass.
At that time, the Han army's food and grass were nearly exhausted. If they did not find another way, the Han army would eventually fail.
But just when Liu Bei wanted to retreat, his military advisor Fa Zheng came up with a strategy for him to surprise Dingjun Mountain, thus turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop.
Many people in the world may not know the ins and outs of these wars back then, but it must be very clear that Mi Yang and Fa Miao were Fa Zheng's beloved disciples and Fa Zheng's beloved sons.
Because of this, when Mi Yang proposed to bring in Yizhou reinforcements through Dingjun Mountain, Fa Miao's first reaction was surprise, but he quickly realized that this method was feasible.
Tens of thousands of Wei troops led by Cao Hong occupied the main road outside Yangping Pass, which prevented Yizhou's reinforcements from entering. However, the mountain road at Dingjun Mountain is directly connected to the mountain road outside Jiange.
Otherwise, how could Liu Bei have bypassed Yangping Pass and led his army directly to Hanzhong?
As long as the Yizhou reinforcements arrive at Jiange and then follow the same marching route, they will be able to bypass the encirclement of tens of thousands of Wei troops and reach Dingjun Mountain not far from Nanzheng City.
Even since the Han Dynasty and the two cities of Nanzheng are still under the control of the Han army, as long as the Yizhou reinforcements can reach Dingjun Mountain safely, they will not face the situation of being blocked on the mountain by the Wei army.
And at that time, will Mi Yang, who has received a large number of reinforcements, still be unable to think of a way to deal with Cao Zhen?
When this idea emerged in his mind, the surprise on Fa Miao's face immediately turned into surprise and strong shock.
I was pleasantly surprised that Hanzhong was finally saved.
His lord Mi Yang was shocked, how did he come up with this plan?
Obviously, many people in the Han Dynasty were mentally prepared to accept the worst and most glorious ending, but Mi Yang seized that glimmer of hope!
Mi Yang looked at the surprised and shocked expression on Fa Miao's face, and he couldn't help but call a few times to wake up Fa Miao from his daze.
The strategy he proposed is still just an idea.
For this idea to become a reality, we need the cooperation of Yizhou.
Re-walking Dingjun Mountain is easier said than done.
After all, Dingjun Mountain is not yet a tourist attraction in future generations, but a completely undeveloped barren mountain.
Even though tens of thousands of Han troops had already walked through it, times had changed and as years passed, vegetation grew and the original road could no longer be used.
Therefore, in order to truly achieve this, Yizhou must do what it did back then and desperately deplete its national power to achieve this feat.
It would be the best thing if Zhuge Liang could take charge of this matter as he did back then.
Thinking of this, after Mi Yang woke up Fa Miao, he said to him: "Immediately find the hunters in the city as your guide, and then send out an elite team that is good at mountain warfare, preferably soldiers who participated in the surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain."
.
Let them follow the guide over Dingjun Mountain and take a detour to Jiange, and convey my intention to the guard of Jiange.
And ask the Jiange Guard to report my intentions to Chengdu as quickly as possible."
"We must be quick. The survival of Hanzhong depends on this move!"
Mi Yang's tone was full of solemnity.
Mi Yang's solemn tone made Fa Miao solemnly bow to Mi Yang:
"I will live up to the general's trust!"
After saying that, Fa Miao turned around and left, going to make arrangements.
After Fa Miao left the city wall, Mi Yang looked in the direction of Dingjun Mountain.
A few years ago, a Confucian in white clothes stood on the mountainside of another mountain, with his turban flying and his feather fan gently waving, creating a bright world for the big man.
Today, several years later, his disciples stand at the top of Nanzheng City, making secret plans and deploying everything to secure a bright future for the Han Dynasty.
This may be the meaning of the word inheritance.
Mi Yang's eyes gradually blurred as he looked at Dingjun Mountain:
"If you have a soul in heaven, please protect me."
When he said this, Mi Yang couldn't help but clenched the letter in his hand.
He also has a mentor.
He said he would come to help him as soon as possible.
...
Deng Ai led four thousand Liangzhou troops and marched towards Jiange at almost the fastest marching speed.
A few days ago, he was officially worshiped as Zuo Zhonglang General by Liu Bei.
Zuo Zhonglang General can be said to be the highest-ranking military position among Zhonglang Generals, and there is only a thin line between him and higher-level generals.
But the promotion in status did not make Deng Ai very happy, even though he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Deng Ai was not happy about his promotion, not because he was greedy, but because he was always thinking about the war in Liangzhou, or in other words, he was thinking about his master Mi Yang.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Deng Ai was born in a poor family. He has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships since he was a child. He definitely does not have the qualities of a saint. He desires fame from the bottom of his heart.
But it is precisely because he has seen the warmth and warmth of many people that he will cherish the value of true love even more.
This is also the precious thing about children from poor families.
Even though Mi Yang had scolded him many times in the past, Deng Ai would always remember Mi Yang's kindness and promotion to him.
Now that Mi Yang is in trouble, how can Deng Ai be in the mood to feel happy about his promotion?
Fortunately, His Majesty and the Prime Minister still value the shepherd uncle.
After resting in Chengdu for a few days, Liu Bei formally issued an order for Deng Ai to lead his own troops to Jiange as the vanguard of reinforcements.
After receiving the edict, Deng Ai almost issued the military order in the most stern tone, asking the four thousand Liangzhou troops to pack their bags as quickly as possible, and then quickly advance towards Jiange with light equipment.
Along the way, four thousand Liangzhou troops marched day and night.
However, the high-intensity march did not cause any complaints from any Liangzhou army. They were all direct troops of Mi Yang, and Liangzhou was their hometown.
Regarding the rescue of their master and hometown, the four thousand Liangzhou troops were no less anxious than Deng Ai.
Under the rapid march, Deng Ai quickly led the army to arrive outside the Jiange.
Facing the arrival of four thousand Liangzhou troops, Liu Feng did not choose to go out to greet them.
Liu Feng had extraordinary military talents, and he had just used his extraordinary military talents to win a great victory for the Han army.
It can be said that currently among the Han Dynasty, due to his status and pride, there are absolutely no more than five people who Liu Feng can really take notice of.
Obviously, Deng Ai was not among them.
However, the status gap between Deng Ai and Liu Feng was huge, so it was normal for Liu Feng not to go out of the city to meet Deng Ai, and Deng Ai did not have any opinions on the matter.
Just because of the urgency in his heart, after Deng Ai arranged his troops and horses, he asked to see Liu Feng on the grounds that he had something important to report.
As Deng Ai was the vanguard of Zhuge Liang's army, Liu Feng originally did not want to meet him, but Liu Feng thought that Deng Ai was Mi Yang's confidant, so Liu Feng met with Deng Ai for Mi Yang's sake.
After Deng Ai saw Liu Feng, he immediately suggested to Liu Feng:
"Ai was ordered by the emperor to lead an army of 4,000 to come for reinforcements. Adding in the 5,000 people in the pass, our army has a strength of nearly 10,000.
With nearly 10,000 troops, our army occupies a favorable geographical location. The situation has changed. It is better for the general to lead nearly 10,000 elite troops to attack the Wei army's camp, even if our army cannot successfully defeat the rebel army.
Given the strength of our army, the bandit army will definitely raise a large number of troops to stop me. In this way, the military situation may be known to Wu Zhengbei.
After Wu Zheng went to the north to find out, he would know that our reinforcements from the DPRK had arrived, and Liangzhou's army would be confident."
When Deng Ai saw Liu Feng's face and said a few polite words, he told Liu Feng his plan.
Deng Ai believed that his battle plan was feasible, but he was unaware of his suggestions, which aroused Liu Feng's dissatisfaction.
How could a small lieutenant general dare to speak nonsense in front of him?
If there is really a good opportunity to attack, you should inform him yourself, rather than him "teaching" you.
In the past, Liu Bei often criticized Liu Feng for being "arrogant and self-willed". From Liu Feng's two thoughts, we can see that Liu Bei's criticism was correct.
Liu Feng's face suddenly turned cold.
"The bandit army has just suffered a huge defeat, and now is the time to be on tight defense. If our army attacks rashly, it will not be effective, and it will inevitably lose troops and generals.
I have been ordered by Your Majesty to guard the Jiange Pavilion. How can I ignore the safety of the Jiange Pavilion and send out all my troops?
If you don't know the enemy's situation and ask for a battle without authorization, if it weren't for the sake of Mihou, you would have been punished by our military law.
Why don’t you retreat quickly!”
Liu Feng scolded Deng Ai severely.
After being scolded, Deng Ai wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Liu Feng's left and right bodyguards approaching with swords, he had no choice but to leave.
He admitted that his suggestion was risky, but Liangzhou was in danger, so it was better to take the risk than to do nothing.
After Deng Ai withdrew, Liu Feng's expression softened slightly.
The reason why Liu Feng categorically rejected Deng Ai's proposal was that on the one hand he really believed that it was not a good time to send troops to attack the Wei army, and on the other hand it was also due to his selfish considerations.
After being released from confinement by Liu Bei, Liu Feng knew that his next performance was very important.
That's why he took such a big risk and chose to sneak attack the Wei army on a snowy night.
But just as he said, the task Liu Bei gave him was to guard Jiange, not to support Mi Yang.
Why would he risk the unrest of Jiange and do other things?
When Liu Bei needs him, Liu Feng will never begrudge his life. This was the case in the Battle of Hanzhong and the Battle of Shangyong.
But if his own selfishness does not conflict with Liu Bei's explicit orders, then Liu Feng's choice is very simple, that is, follow his own selfishness.
During the First Battle of Xiangfan, Liu Feng adopted a similar approach.
Back then, Guan Yu sent envoys more than ten times, but failed to get Liu Feng to send troops. Now even though Mi Yang has the same power as Guan Yu back then, hasn't he not sent out envoys yet?
In this case, it is better to guard the Jiange well. This is the best explanation for Liu Bei and himself.
There is an old Chinese saying that states are easy to change, but nature is hard to change.
Excellent military talents and impressive military records cannot cover up the fact that Liu Feng was arrogant, domineering and selfish.
Whether such a character is a blessing or a curse will be revealed in the future.
...
In April of the fourth year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, before most of the Yizhou reinforcements arrived at Jiange, most of the Wei army had already arrived not far from the outside of Nanzheng City.
This month, under the fierce attack of the Wei army, Cao Zhen had controlled most of the cities in Hanzhong.
This month, Cao Zhen's injury had almost improved, and he could finally appear on horseback in front of tens of thousands of Wei troops.
Cao Zhen, who was sitting high on the horse, looked at the nearby Nanzheng City, with endless anger in his eyes that was about to be released.
It was the owner of that city who caused him to suffer a huge defeat half a year ago, and even left him with an unspeakable disability throughout his life.
Both public and private, Cao Zhen now has a mentality of wanting to kill Mi Yang and then kill him quickly.
However, because the great defeat left a deep impression on Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen did not rashly lead his army to continue marching towards Nanzheng City after approaching the gates of Nanzheng City.
He was waiting for the remaining Wei troops to assemble.
Just a few days after Cao Zhen arrived at Nanzheng City, the remaining Wei troops gathered from all directions in Hanzhong and arrived outside Nanzheng City.
By this day, more than 100,000 Wei troops had gathered outside Nanzheng City (including auxiliary troops).
At the same time, Cao Zhen's military orders spread quickly.
When Cao Zhen's military order was spread throughout the three armies, more than 100,000 Wei troops, like a large dark cloud with no end in sight, all surrounded Nanzheng City.
In the military formation of more than 100,000 people, there were many siege equipment as high as the Nanzheng city wall.
Those towering siege engines, like mountain peaks standing in the endless dark clouds, are approaching Nanzheng City step by step with a terrifying momentum.
The Wei army's move to siege the city quickly alarmed Mi Yang in the city. Surrounded by a group of confidants, Mi Yang climbed onto the Nanzheng city wall.
The people who climbed the city wall were all affected by the momentum of the enemy outside the city and their expressions were unstable.
But when Mi Yang saw this scene, he couldn't help but laughed and said:
"The ants under the city are just like the rats from Jiangdong back then!"
Mi Yang's tone seemed to be mocking, teasing, but more like she didn't care.
And when Mi Yang's words spread to the ears of the people around him, everyone who thought of Mi Yang's police record couldn't help but laugh along with Mi Yang.
Even if endless enemy troops approach the city, who can guarantee that the white deer next to them will not turn things around again?
The victorious and defeated soldiers have unexpected family affairs, and it is a man to regard the enemy as nothing!
