Mi Han

Chapter 334
Before Cao Pi left Wancheng, in order to allow Sima Yi to have enough troops to guard Wancheng, he left [-] troops for Sima Yi.

The [-] Wei troops were not Cao Wei Zhongjun, but most of them were foreign troops from Yanyu and Yanzhou.

Although it is not Cao Wei's central army, the combat effectiveness of Cao Wei's foreign army is also very good.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of cavalry in Guanzhong led by Zhang Yun. Such a force configuration is not difficult for Nanyang County, which has shrunk in a large area.

And this exchange of prisoners between the two armies, although it was the intention of the two monarchs, the hostile situation between the two parties will not be changed because of this exchange.

Because Sima Yi was wary of today's exchange.

Just as Mi Yang thought, it is Sima Yi who is afraid of him now.

In order not to let Mi Yang have any bad thoughts when the two armies exchanged prisoners of war today, Sima Yi not only brought [-] infantry troops from Wancheng, but also Zhang Xi's tens of thousands of cavalry from Guanzhong.

So currently outside Jiyang City, the Wei army led by Sima Yi has a total of [-].

You must know that Jiyang County is still under the control of the Wei army, and Sima Yi has mobilized so many troops within his own territory, which shows how defensive he is against Mi Yang.

In ten thousand five, the cavalry army of the Wei army was in front, and the infantry army was behind, forming a long formation outside Jiyang City, watching the warships of the Han army gradually appearing in front of them.

When they saw the battle flag with the word "Mi" in the red flags, the two generals Sima Yi and Zhang He who were riding in front of the army lined up, all cheered up in their hearts.

Either fearful or important, the current Mi Yang deserves such treatment from them.

And at the forefront of many Han warships, there is a tall ship several feet high that has slowly approached the shore.

Standing on this building boat was Mi Yang, the left general of the Han Dynasty.

After the building boat gradually stopped, Mi Yang also took advantage of the condescending advantage to see clearly the tens of thousands of Wei troops not far away who were waiting in full battle.

This time Mi Yang came to Jiyang with only [-] Han troops, far fewer than the Wei troops.

It's not that Mi Yang is entrusting the big ones, it's just that he doesn't have many troops in his hands at the moment. In addition, Yiyang County has just been attached, so there are places where troops can be used everywhere.

And Mi Yang really didn't expect at the beginning that Sima Yi would transfer so many Wei troops just to hand over the prisoners.

How jealous of him is this?

But even though the number of the Han army was smaller than that of the Wei army, Mi Yang had no worries in his heart.

As long as the Han army does not go ashore easily, the Han army in control of the Weishui River will be in an invincible position.

Sima Yi, who was driving in front of the army, saw that the boat where Mi Yang was located had stopped, so he immediately sent an envoy to have a final meeting with Mi Yang.

After sending out the envoys, Sima Yi also ordered people to take the hundreds of Han army prisoners from the back of the formation to the front of the formation one after another.

Among the hundreds of prisoners of the Han army, two young women stood at the front.

These two young women are exactly the two daughters of Liu Bei who were captured by Wei Jun in the chaos.

When Sima Yi's envoy came to the bank and got on the building boat under the pull of the hanging basket, the hundreds of prisoners of the Han army were also escorted by the Wei army to the front of the two armies.

It was the Yecheng county soldiers where Shi Bao was in charge of escorting hundreds of Han prisoners to the front of the battle.

With an excited look, Shi Bao escorted the Han army captives to the front and back of the formation. With no obstacles in front of him, he immediately cast his expectant eyes on the building boat where Mi Yang was.

After Shi Bao came to Wancheng, he didn't know why Wei Jun had to escort a group of prisoners all the way south.

After knowing this, Shi Bao also knew that the general of the Han army who was in charge of the handover this time was Mi Yang.

So he is full of anticipation for today.

It's just because of the distance and the height of the building that Shi Bao couldn't see the young general in Mingguang armor.

But Shi Bao's eyes were still full of excitement.

He who was standing at the back of the formation just now clearly saw that after Mi Yang's arrival, there was a faint commotion in the formation of the five thousand Wei troops.

This scene made Shi Bao's desire to go to Mi Yang even stronger.

In the past, Mi Yang only lived in legends, and because Cao Wei officials deliberately suppressed the news, Shi Bao couldn't deeply feel Mi Yang's prestige in this world.

But the scene he saw today made him truly feel the prestige of Mi Yang in Jingzhou for the first time.

Only such a famous general is worthy to be the master of his stone bud.

And the same as Shi Bao, after seeing the "Mi" battle flag fluttering high, the faces of hundreds of Han army prisoners showed excitement.

With the passage of time, it is no secret that the two armies have exchanged prisoners of war with each other.

The hundreds of prisoners of the Han army also knew that they were about to be released back to the south.

But what they didn't expect was that it would be Mi Yang who came to greet them today.

You must know that among the hundreds of captives, the proportion of the Mi clan is not low.

Even if they were not members of the Mi clan, other captives who were members of Yuan Cong's clan also treated Mi Yang as relatives in the past.

Years of prison life had already made them lose hope in their hearts.

Under this state of mind, today they see their relatives come to welcome them back home in person, the excitement of turning a corner is completely irresistible.

Because of the excitement in their hearts, the captive team of more than a hundred people suddenly began to create a commotion.

After the commotion broke out, since the official handover of prisoners between the two armies had not yet begun, the Wei army beside hundreds of captives began to suppress the commotion with their scabbards.

In the past years, these Wei troops have treated them like this.

What they are doing now is just instinct.

It's just that Sima Yi's expression changed drastically after seeing this scene, and he immediately ordered someone to stop those Wei troops.

What Sima Yi was worried about was that Mi Yang saw this scene.

Although Sima Yi stopped it very quickly, how could Mi Yang, who had been watching the scene here, miss this scene?

After seeing this scene, Mi Yang's face was already filled with anger.

Even between his eyes, the chill was slowly accumulating.

Mi Yang was dissatisfied with the unkempt, beggar-like situation of hundreds of clansmen.

Now that he saw his own people being beaten by Wei Jun, how could he not feel angry?

At this time, the envoy sent by Sima Yi happened to come to Mi Yang.

Before and after Sima Yi's envoy came to Mi Yang's body, he immediately asked Mi Yang how the two armies should hand over the prisoners.

Originally, what Mi Yang thought at the beginning was that the two armies released the prisoners at the same time, which was the most reasonable approach.

But now Mi Yang, he has changed his mind.

Mi Yang said coldly to Sima Yi's emissary:

"You don't know the sincerity of your army, but you sent cavalry troops to suppress the formation.

If after our army releases the captives, your cavalry attack and kill my relatives and friends from behind, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life? "

"To prove your army's sincerity, your army should first release my relatives and friends. After all my relatives and friends are accepted by our army, I will release the people you want."

Hearing Mi Yang's words, Sima Yi's envoy showed surprise on his face.

That's not what everyone talked about at the beginning.

What if they released the hundreds of captives first, but Mi Yang did not release Xia Houshang and others?
The first reaction of Sima Yi's envoy was to refuse.

He just thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

Because what Mi Yang said makes sense.

The Han army is on the water, while the Wei army is on the land, and there are cavalry troops.

If the Han army and the Wei army release the captives at the same time, once the Wei army's captives step out of the range of the Han army's bow and arrow.

At that time, if the cavalry of the Wei army launched an attack on the captives of the Han army from behind, the Han army on the water would indeed be unable to react in time.

To be honest, Mi Yang was really worried about this.

As for whether Mi Yang was over-concerned, that's really not the case.

Wei Jun can kill even unarmed ordinary people, so how can he not do such a thing as killing prisoners?

Seeing the embarrassment on the face of Sima Yi's envoy, Mi Yang continued to press forward step by step.

"In exchanging prisoners between the two armies, integrity is the most important thing. Your army's sudden cavalry attack is considered a breach of trust. Does Sima Zhongda have other plans?"

Hearing Mi Yang's questioning, Sima Yi's envoy turned pale with fright, and he repeatedly defended Sima Yi.

He knew the importance of this prisoner exchange to the Wei army, so he was afraid that Mi Yang's misunderstanding would delay the prisoner exchange.

And because of the importance of this prisoner exchange, he also knew that Sima Yi would not dare to cheat on this matter.

The reason why Sima Yi transferred the cavalry was that he was only worried about the sudden attack of the Han army.

But this kind of reason is too depressing for one's own side, so when the envoy defended Sima Yi, he couldn't find any legitimate reason.

This made him panic even more.

Seeing Sima Yi's envoy panicked, Mi Yang gave him an ultimatum:
"The faith of our army is known all over the world, so you don't have to worry about my breaking my promise.

On the other hand, the sincerity of your army is not clear, if you continue to evade, I will withdraw the army and report to the emperor.

Sima Yi will bear all the consequences when the time comes. "

After Mi Yang finished speaking, he immediately ordered people to drive Sima Yi's envoy off the boat.

After Sima Yi's envoy was driven off the ship, because of Mi Yang's ultimatum, he quickly returned to Sima Yi with deep worries in his heart, and told Sima Yi exactly what Mi Yang meant.

Zhang He was beside Sima Yi.

After Zhang He heard Mi Yang's meaning, he immediately said angrily: "The deer is crazy!"

But after Sima Yi heard Zhang Yun's angry words, he advised Zhang Yun to stay calm.

Mi Yang is insolent, but what Mi Yang said is not without reason.

Putting himself in the situation, if he was Mi Yang, he might not have acted like Mi Yang.

Besides, even if Mi Yang is insane, what can they do with him now?

Sima Yi remembered Cao Pi's edict to him, enjoining him to handle this matter well.

Cao Pi attaches great importance to the tone of this matter, and Sima Yi can deeply feel it from the content of the imperial edict.

Moreover, this matter was the first thing he did for Cao Pi after he became the governor of one side.

If this matter goes wrong, his impression in Cao Pi's mind will definitely be greatly reduced.

Therefore, both in public and in private, Sima Yi must successfully complete the exchange of prisoners between the two armies today.

Most importantly, Sima Yi deeply agrees with what Mi Yang said.

That is the faith of the Han army, known all over the world.
Mi Yang came from a famous family in Guanzhong, and was Liu Bei's nephew. Under the strong concept that faith is the most important thing in the world, Mi Yang would not go back on his word.

Under these considerations, Sima Yi decided to agree to Mi Yang's request.

Sima Yi is also a resolute character. After he planned to agree to Mi Yang's request, he immediately ordered Wei Jun to untie the ropes on the hundreds of Han prisoners.

After the ropes on the hundreds of Han prisoners were untied, the hundreds of Han prisoners finally started running towards Weishui under the urging of Wei Jun beside them.

Perhaps at the beginning, hundreds of Han army prisoners were afraid of the Wei army's tricks behind them, so they didn't dare to run too fast.

But after they ran a certain distance and knew that Wei Jun really intended to release them, their running speed suddenly accelerated.

Mi Yang, standing high on the tall ship, saw hundreds of Han prisoners running towards him, with a smile on his face.

He immediately docked the warships below, and released planks one after another to guide hundreds of Han prisoners who were about to arrive on board.

Not long after, hundreds of Han prisoners finally came to the shore. After they reached the shore, the Han army did not easily pick them up on the boat at one time.

After checking whether they had hidden weapons, the Han army picked them up one by one on the warship.

And in Mi Yang's previous order, the hundreds of Han captives were also disrupted and scattered on various warships.

In this way, even if there are spies from the Wei army among the hundreds of returned Han army captives, at least under this arrangement, they will not be able to make trouble.

As for their identities, there will be a special person to review them one by one in the future.

Although Mi Yang is eager to welcome people, he still understands the truth that guarding against others is indispensable.

Among all the returning prisoners of war, Mi Yang only took Liu Bei's two daughters into his building boat.

Liu Bei's daughters were only about eight or nine years old when they were captured, but now they are adult women in their 20s when they return.

When Liu Bei's two daughters were picked up on the upstairs boat, they looked at Mi Yang in fine armor and burst into tears.

"Cousin."

"Why did you come here!"

They are not only the daughters of Liu Bei, but also descendants of the Mi family.

More than ten years of homelessness, more than ten years of darkness, and more than ten years of fear have already accumulated too much grievance in their hearts.

Because they were in the enemy camp in the past, they didn't even dare to cry.

Now that they have escaped from birth, they can finally cry without any scruples at the moment they see their loved ones.

Seeing his two cousins ​​crying in front of him in ragged clothes, thinking that the two of them should be noble princesses, but now they have fallen into this situation, Mi Yang felt very uncomfortable.

Although Mi Yang still has some doubts in his heart because his identity has not been fully verified.

But this does not prevent Mi Yang from letting out a sigh of relief for them and for the hundreds of relatives and friends who have returned.

At this time, Sima Yi on the shore saw that the Han army had taken more than a hundred prisoners of war and had not yet released Xia Houshang and others, so he ordered people to wave the flag to signal to urge Mi Yang.

After learning about Sima Yi's urging, Mi Yang first wiped away the tears on the faces of his two cousins ​​with his hands, then he turned around and gave the order:

"Bring Xia Houshang and others up."

"Take off your shirt and put it on!"

Compared with the miserable situation of Mi Yang's relatives and friends, Xia Houshang and others lived a little too comfortably in the past.

Since Wei Jun left my relatives and friends in rags, I will leave them with nothing to wear!
