Mi Han

Chapter 239

After Man Chong was captured by Yanping, the last fighting spirit of the Wei army in Wudang City had been shattered.

Knowing that the general situation was over, they abandoned their weapons and surrendered to the city gate, kneeling on both sides of the city gate and waiting for the Han army to fall.

But because there was no order from the general Mi Yang, the thousands of Han troops piled up with mounds under Zhang Nan did not rush into Wudang City.

They just controlled the north gate of Wudang City under Zhang Nan's order.

At present, this is not only the case of the north gate of Wudang City, but also the situation of several other gates of Wudang City.

Tens of thousands of Han troops are waiting for Mi Yang's next order.

Mi Yang led his personal guards to the north gate of Wudang soon.

When he came to the north gate of Wudang, he saw an old man being held hostage by a man with a wounded hand behind him on the moat that had been filled in outside the north gate.

The forehead of the old man was bright red, and the face of the man behind him was full of excitement.

Mi Yang recognized at a glance that the subdued old man was Man Chong.

On the previous nest car, General Wei Jun had identified Man Chong for Mi Yang.

According to the news just received, the man in uniform should be Yanping.

When Mi Yang drove his horse to the front and back of Yanping, Man Chong, who knew Mi Yang, deliberately turned his face away from seeing Mi Yang.

But Yanping saw a young general approaching him under the guard of the Han army, and he immediately guessed that the person in front of him was Mi Yang.

After guessing this, Yanping handed Man Chong, who had been tied up, to his nephew behind him to take care of him.

He himself led all the patriarchs of the Wudang noble clan to bow respectfully to Mi Yang, and said with fear in his mouth:
"Foolish people pay respects to the general."

After Yanping called Mi Yang the general, all the patriarchs behind him respectfully called Mi Yang the general.

The general is not an official title, but the general is a respectful title given by the world to generals who have made great contributions.

Among these patriarchs, some were even old enough to be Mi Yang's grandfather.

But in front of Mi Yang, they put on an appearance that they dare not look directly at Mi Yang.

This is because of Mi Yang's prestige.

Although these patriarchs were local emperors in Wudang City, facing Mi Yang, who is now powerful in the world and has tens of thousands of Han troops in his hands, they place their status very low.

This is the way ordinary wealthy families make a living in troubled times.

After Yanping saluted himself, Mi Yang sat on the horse and looked at Yanping, with a smile on his face and said:

"I know about Lai She and Cen Peng today."

After saying this, Mi Yang said to Yanping again: "You have made a contribution this time, and I will play the king of Hanzhong to show your contribution."

After listening to Mi Yang's promise, a look of joy appeared on Yanping's face.

He is desperate to capture Man Chong, one is for his own benefit, and the other is also a kind of investment he made.

Now his investment is about to pay off, which makes Yanping feel great satisfaction.

Satisfied, Yanping, who was already in awe of Mi Yang, felt grateful to him.

Compared with Man Chong, Mi Yang, whose strength and prestige is far above Man Chong, is indeed the person more worthy of his service.

Because of the gratitude to Mi Yang in his heart, and in order to further please Mi Yang, Yanping wanted to go forward to lead Mi Yang's horse to welcome Mi Yang into the city in person.

But his move was stopped by Ding Feng beside Mi Yang.

Yanping is now a dangerous person in Ding Feng's eyes, of course he will not let Yanping get too close to Mi Yang.

After being stopped by Ding Feng, Yanping also understood that his behavior was a bit abrupt.

But after he was stopped, he didn't step aside directly.

He put Man Chong behind him in front of Mi Yang's horse as if offering a treasure, and then Yanping wanted Man Chong to kneel down in front of Mi Yang's horse.

But Man Chong, who is upright and upright, felt extremely humiliated by being captured by Yanping, so how could he fulfill Yanping's wish and kneel down in front of Mi Yang's horse?
Facing Yanping's pressure, Man Chong's old body showed great resistance, which made Yanping unable to press Man Chong to the ground for a while.

Seeing that Man Chong dared to resist at this time, Yanping was eager to show his face in front of Mi Yang, and his face flashed cruelty. He raised the scabbard and was about to smash Man Chong's calf.

Man Chong is an old bone, if he was hit hard by the scabbard on his calf, he might be seriously injured.

Just when the scabbard in Yanping's hand was about to touch Man Chong's calf, his move was stopped by Mi Yang's stern shout.

"stop!"

Mi Yang's stern shout made Yanping subconsciously stop what he was doing.

Although he didn't understand why Mi Yang wanted to stop him, but now Yanping, who had put all his treasures on Mi Yang, certainly didn't dare to disobey Mi Yang's order.

After Mi Yang stopped Yanping, he signaled Yanping to step aside first, and then he asked his guard to untie the rope on Man Chong.

Mi Yang's actions made both Man Chong and Yanping a little surprised, but after the surprise, Man Chong's face showed a clear expression.

After the guard untied Man Chong's rope, Mi Yang jumped off the horse and came to Man Chong under the guard of the guard.

Man Chong, who was unbound, felt sore all over, but when he saw Mi Yang coming in front of him, he turned his head away as before, deliberately not looking at Mi Yang.

This old man has quite a personality.

Ding Feng saw that Man Chong was already so rude as a defeated general, and anger began to appear on his face.

It's all this time, what's the point.

Ding Feng was about to step forward to scold Man Chong, but Mi Yang stepped forward and took the initiative to bow to Man Chong:

"Mr. Man has suffered."

Man Chong was born in a high-ranking noble family in the north, and he has served in the Central Plains for many years and has achieved a lot of political achievements, so his reputation in the world is not low.

Mi Yang, who knows the history, also knows that in history, the last official of Manchong was Taiwei, and his fiefdom reached [-] households. It can be said that his fiefdom is considered the best among all Wei officials.

But in the end, he had no money left in his family, which is enough to show that Man Chong's personal character is quite clean.

What's more, when the Han army was approaching the city, Man Chong could have abandoned the city and fled.

Even if he may be punished by Cao Pi when he returns to Luoyang, according to Man Chong's reputation, his death penalty can be exempted.

It's better than staying behind with no hope in sight.

Because of Man Chong's move, Mi Yang admired Man Chong even more.

For such an elder, Mi Yang will feel a headache when he is an enemy and want to get rid of it quickly.

But now that Man Chong has been captured by him, Mi Yang will not hide his respect for Man Chong.

Although Man Chong didn't look directly at Mi Yang, he could hear Mi Yang's words and tone clearly.

Compared with Mi Yang, Man Chong's prestige in the world is far inferior.

After all, he has not yet reached Huainan, the treasure land of his military exploits.

So when Man Chong heard that Mi Yang, who was far above him in prestige, would take the initiative to salute him and apologize to him, the gloomy expression on Man Chong's face improved a lot.

Although the positions are different, Man Chong is also a scholar.

Under this relationship, Mi Yang's knowledge of etiquette changed Man Chong's impression of him.

Man Chong finally turned his head to face Mi Yang squarely.

After Man Chong looked at him squarely, Mi Yang continued to say to Man Chong: "Today, Yang is lucky enough to capture Man Jun. If Man Chong changes his plan suddenly, I will follow the righteousness. I will play the king of Hanzhong to protect the wealth and honor of the whole monarch."

In the future, Yang and the king can fight side by side, share gold and stones and other solids, and the fame and the world will be poor. "

Facing Mi Yang's solicitation, there was no surprise on Man Chong's face, but there was no emotion on his face either.

He just looked at Mi Yang with sizing eyes and said: "If I don't follow, will it be that my head and feet are different, my name and name will be destroyed, and I will laugh for the world?"

Mi Yang didn't answer Man Chong's question.

But Man Chong went on to say: "I have Mijun Gaoxian in my family, and I was born under a famous teacher, so I should know about the death of a gentleman."

"Didn't you write "May the King's Day of Death" be written in your letter back then?"

"I have received the kindness of Emperor Wu. I am already contented at the age of [-] and [-]. It is the time when my reputation is wiped out!"

Man Chong's words clearly expressed his attitude.

That is, he would rather die than change his family to serve Liu Bei.

Under Man Chong's categorical refusal, Mi Yang did not give up.

Mi Yang continued to persuade Man Chong: "I see the talents of Manjun as the style of ancient sages. Therefore, the emperor valued judging talents, and the minister valued the master.

If the king uses loyalty and goodness, the career of the uncle will prosper;Life and death, honor and disgrace, often must be hereby.

Today, Cao Zi and the traitor Pi usurped the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and the people and gods were all angry. He had no talent or virtue, and in the end he had only one way to die.

A martyr has nothing to worry about in everything he does.Husbands and princes are ministers, and righteousness is up to them.Is there any difference between Kuang Jun and Wei Wuchun minister?

"Poetry" says: "The passing away will go to you, and you will be in that paradise." If you say go to the state, there is a way.Manjun need not have doubts. "

Although Mi Yang wrote a letter before saying that he wanted to fulfill Man Chong's death festival, but that was Mi Yang's attack method when the two confronted each other.

Facing a talented and virtuous sage like Man Chong, if possible, Mi Yang would not kill Man Chong.

After all, Man Chong is different from Cao Ren. As Mi Yang said, Man Chong was originally a Hanchen.

Today, the three powers in the world stand together, and in the final analysis, it is essentially a civil war among the Chinese people.

Mi Yang didn't want to lose too many outstanding talents of the Chinese nation because of the civil war.

So Mi Yang's persuasion to capitulate was very sincere, not like before persuading Cao Ren to capitulate, but just following the process.

But in the face of Mi Yang's second persuasion to surrender, Man Chong still showed a look of determination on his face.

Man Chong thanked Mi Yang for his importance to him, so he bowed to Mi Yang and said: "Don't waste your words anymore, I have made up my mind."

"Let me test whether the knife under my step is good today!"

Seeing the actions between Mi Yang and Man Chong, some people present were stunned.

They didn't know why the two people who had vowed to kill each other soon started to salute each other.

In fact, this is an unspoken rule among contemporary scholars.

When they are masters, they can speak ill at each other, beat life or death any way they want.

But when one side wins, the winning side will also maintain enough respect for the losing side.

Tolerance is great, which is the excellent character of traditional Chinese scholars.

After Man Chong rejected his persuasion to surrender for the second time, no anger appeared on Mi Yang's face.

But he didn't intend to persuade him a third time either.

There are only three things, if he can't persuade Man Chong to surrender for the third time, then Man Chong's fate will be hard to say.

Reserve the third time, leave some leeway between the two, and think carefully about how to persuade Man Chong to surrender in the next time.

Mi Yang asked people to bring Man Chong into the camp, and asked the medical officer to heal the wound on his forehead, and told everyone in the army not to neglect Man Chong.

After Man Chong was taken down, Mi Yang looked to the side at Yanping who looked anxious.

The reason why Yanping was uneasy was because he saw that Mi Yang treated Man Chong with respect, which made him regret that he was so rude to Man Chong just now.

Mi Yang saw what Yanping was thinking, and what he was going to do next needed the assistance of the wealthy families in Yanping, so Mi Yang took out the whip in his hand, pointed at the city gate in front of him, and said:
"I don't have a minister today, so I'm not allowed to enter this door."

In fact, even if there were no riots by Yanping and other wealthy families, Mi Yang might not be unable to capture Wudang City.

So Mi Yang's praise is obviously too much.

But it was Mi Yang's high reputation that instantly made the uneasy look on Yanping's face disappear.

Then Mi Yang asked Yan Ping, the head of Wudang's powerful clan, to lead the way, and he ordered Zhang Ni and Zhang Bao, who had already rushed to the scene, to lead the Han army to enter Wudang City one after another.

At the moment when Yanping captured Man Chong and opened the city gate, not to mention that the Wei army in the city had no intention of resisting, even the major families in the city could only surrender to the Han army under such facts.

Therefore, the Han army's move into the city went smoothly.

Under Feng Xi's arrangement, the Han army, who successively took control of various important places in Wudang City, has completely controlled the entire Wudang City.

Just as the Han army pulled out their camps and entered the city one after another, Cao Tai and Sima Yi, who were wandering outside the Han army camp, soon found out about this.

When the two of them knew about this, their faces were filled with grief.

This behavior of the Han army shows that Wudang City has been completely captured by the Han army.

Because the two thousand Wei army cavalry wanted to attract the Han army out of the camp to fight, most of them wandered on the plain outside the Han army's northern camp.

They didn't know about it when the gate of Wudang City was opened under the barrier of heavy tents.

As the Han army kept dismantling camps and entering the city, they only realized it later.

After knowing that Wudang City had been captured by Mi Yang, Cao Tai asked Sima Yi:
"Zhongda, Wudang has fallen, shall we return to Wancheng next?"

Facing Cao Tai's question, Sima Yi replied decisively, "I can't retreat."

Sima Yi took out a map of Nanyang County, put it in front of Cao Tai and said to him:
"Wudang City was captured by Mi Yang, so his next target is likely to be Wancheng."

"Although Wancheng has a water system to communicate with Wudang City, there are still many cities of our Great Wei beside the water system."

"Now His Majesty should have known about the military situation in Nanyang County, and the Luoyang Central Army will come to help in a few days, and Mi Yang must also know this.

In this case, he didn't have time to go to the cities that wiped out our army one by one, so his navy couldn't gallop in Nanyang County. "

"If Mi Yang wants to attack Wancheng, he can only order the bandit army to go north by land. However, most of the areas between Wudang City and Wancheng are plains, and there is no dangerous place to rely on.

As long as the general's two thousand cavalry troops do not withdraw, Mi Yang will be worried about the safety of the food road, so he will have scruples and cannot send the army northward.And as long as Wancheng is not lost, Nanyang will not be lost! "

Sima Yi quickly analyzed the current situation for Cao Tai.

Under Sima Yi's analysis, a firm look appeared on Cao Tai's face.

Mi Yang took advantage of the favorable situation before to make his two thousand cavalry useless, but the situation will not always be favorable to Mi Yang.

The terrain of Nanyang County is the place he can take advantage of next!
