Mi Han

Chapter 503 Take 2 Thieves First and then Go to the Northern Expedition

More than ten days have passed since the day that will definitely be recorded in the annals of history.

For more than ten days, the turbulent Han River has been making noise in the vast plain outside Nanzheng City. It seems that it is guided by someone to clean up all the filth in the world.

Until recently, the Han River outside Nanzheng City gradually receded, which gave Wei Yan, Zhou Tai, Deng Ai and others the opportunity to personally return to Mi Yang in Nanzheng City.

But at today's reinstatement meeting, the entire venue seemed very quiet.

This was due to the fact that the generals and generals present at the meeting looked at Mi Yang who was sitting at the top with reverent eyes.

Even in the later generations with advanced technology, human beings are in awe of fires and floods, let alone the present?
Since ancient times, although there are many famous generals who have defeated the enemy with the help of the mighty power of heaven and earth, often those famous generals, after accomplishing such feats, will not only gain the prestige of the sky, but also cast a layer of mystery in the eyes of the world .

For example, Guan Yu who flooded the Seventh Army a few years ago.

The results of the flooding of the Seventh Army are incomparable with the Hanzhong War.

But Guan Yu was able to shock China with this battle, and even after his death, the legend of him is often circulated among the people.

Apart from Guan Yu's loyalty and unparalleled qualities, the biggest reason is that the Seventh Army was flooded, which was a great victory won by Guan Yu with the help of the mighty power of heaven and earth.

We must know that the reason why today's Son of Heaven is sacred is that under the Confucian idea of ​​"interaction between heaven and man", the Son of Heaven is just the spokesperson for the gods in the sky to exercise power in the world.

Most importantly, there are many people in history who used the power of water to defeat the enemy.

However, within a few short years, the famous general who can turn the world around with the aid of water and fire, the two greatest powers in the world, is unprecedented and unique.

When it is passed down to later generations, it is not known how many literati and inkmen will become Mi Yang's fans.

Well, just like these people in the hall at present.

The eyes of everyone awed and worshiped were very warm, of course Mi Yang could not fail to notice this.

After noticing it, Mi Yang gave Lu Yi a helpless look.

The reason why everyone followed him was not only marveling at his achievements, but also because of the painting that Lu Yi painted.

It turned out that Lu Yi, who was good at painting, drew the scene of him laughing on the city with his arms outstretched when the city was flooded that day.

Needless to say, Lu Yi's painting skills can be described as lifelike.

And it was this lifelike portrait that, after being seen by everyone, caused them to exclaim, and at the same time deepened their reverence and admiration for themselves.

Of course, being revered and worshiped by others is a good thing, but there is a limit to everything.

After finally waiting for the flood to recede, now is the time to discuss the next step of our army's strategy. What's going on in the whole hall is silent.

There was no way, Mi Yang could only cough a few times, and after dispelling some of the silence in the hall, he began to directly ask about some things by name.

Mi Yang first looked at Deng Ai who had just arrived from Yizhou, and asked in a deep voice, "How many reinforcements did you bring from Yizhou this time?"

Facing Mi Yang's question, Deng Ai didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately got up and bowed to Mi Yang and replied:

"The total number of troops starting from the Jiange is [-].

The army that followed the ministers to arrive at Dingjun Mountain in advance numbered roughly [-]. "

After the report, Deng Ai expressed his inference again.

"If there are no mistakes on the road, the remaining [-] troops will arrive in Hanzhong by the end of this month at the latest."

After listening to Deng Ai's report, Mi Yang nodded slightly.

The [-] army is large in number and the mountain road is narrow. No matter how hard Zhuge Liang arranges it, it is impossible to transport the [-] army to Dingjun Mountain all at once.

However, not all the reinforcements have arrived, but it is not long since the end of the month, so this will not delay his next plan.

After asking about the specific situation of Deng Ai's reinforcements, Mi Yang turned his attention to Lu Yi again, and he asked:
"Have you ever found traces of Cao Zhen and others?"

When the Han River outside the city showed signs of receding, Mi Yang asked Lu Yi to arrange for people to clean up the battlefield.

In the work of cleaning the battlefield, there is a very important content, which is to find the whereabouts of the important generals of the Wei army.

Either die or flee, there must always be a rough result.

After Mi Yang asked, Lu Yi immediately stood up and replied:

"At present, the bodies of some generals of the Wei army have been found, but Cao Zhen's body has not yet been found."

Hearing what Lu Yi said, Mi Yang pondered for a while.

Cao Zhen's body has not been found yet, which means that Cao Zhen's whereabouts are unknown.

Of course, this does not mean that Cao Zhen must have escaped.

After all, the work of cleaning the battlefield has just begun, and the city that was ravaged by the flood is full of corpses and ordnance. It is obviously a heavy and time-consuming task to really count the results of this battle.

But even if Cao Zhen escaped, it wouldn't surprise Mi Yang.

If Cao Zhen wanted to flood Nanzheng, he would definitely arrange for people to build ships in the camp for subsequent sieges.

When Wei Yan led the army to rob the dike, some Wei troops fled back to the camp. This shows that before the Han River poured into the Wei camp, Cao Zhen was very likely to know the news.

According to the thinking of normal people, when they heard the news, their first reaction must be to run, or would they stay and wait to die?
Perhaps Mi Yang wanted to put Cao Zhen to death at first, but when more than [-] Wei troops were wiped out, Mi Yang's goal changed.

Besides, Cao Zhenruo's life is good for Mi Yang.

Losing a bad wolf, but gaining a young lin, no matter how you look at it, it is a guaranteed profit.

The thoughts in his heart flashed quickly, and after thinking about it, Mi Yang told Lu Yi:
"First thing: Wei Jun's body must be burned as soon as possible."

"The second thing: the dam of the Han River must be repaired as soon as possible."

Epidemics often occur after wars and catastrophes. This is mainly because human corpses are exposed to the wild for a long time, which will breed a lot of bacteria.

In addition, human corpses will be eaten by many birds and beasts in the wild, and living people will catch those birds and beasts for food, and diseases will arise due to cross-infection.

The best way to prevent this is to burn all the corpses.

As for the second point, it is also a major issue related to people's livelihood.

Mi Yang flooded the Wei army, mainly by digging the dikes built by the Wei army, but when the flood came out, the original dikes along the Han River were also washed away a lot.

Now that the flood outside the city is gradually receding, the project of repairing the Hanshui dam must also be put on the agenda.

After all, it is still the rainy season.

If the original dam of the Han River is not repaired as soon as possible, it will inevitably have a bad impact on the people's livelihood in Hanzhong.

After Lu Yi listened to Mi Yang's instructions, he also understood the importance of these two matters, so he nodded solemnly.

Anyway, although many people in the Wei army were drowned, many people were also captured, and they happened to be used as coolies to complete these two major events.

After Lu Yi sat down, Wei Yan saw that Mi Yang had arranged the corresponding affairs of the people's livelihood, so he stood up and said to Mi Yang:
"The two Liangzhou thieves, do you want to turn a blind eye?"

Wei Yan's words made everyone present smile one after another.

Who are the two Liangzhou thieves that Wei Yan refers to?
It was nothing more than Guo Huai and Cao Hong, who are currently unknown.

Among the two, Cao Hong was deceived by Zhuge Liang's strategy of suspicious soldiers, and now he is still focused on defending the camp to buy time for Cao Zhen to take Nanzheng.

However, Guo Huai's Wei army is attacking Yinping day and night. If troops are not sent to help in time, Ma Chao and Zhang Ni may be in danger.

The reason why Wei Yan's suggestion aroused the laughter of everyone present was because of his phrase "turn a blind eye".

Naturally, Mi Yang would not forget the two Wei armies Guo Huai and Cao Hong, and to defeat those two Wei armies, of course he had to send a general there.

So Wei Yan's "turning a blind eye" is essentially a kind of self-recommendation.

General, you can't turn a blind eye to the desire of your subordinates to fight!

While Wei Yan's eagerness to fight made everyone laugh, it also aroused the desire of many generals present to fight.

A moment after Wei Yan finished speaking, more than a dozen generals in the hall cheered and stood up, expressing their intention to fight to Mi Yang one after another.

Wei Yan looked at the competitors around him and his face flushed with anger.

Why didn't I see you get up just now, and now that I'm the first to call for a fight, you all stand up and compete with yourself for the opportunity, it's really unkind.

Facing Wei Yan's "glaring eyes", Deng Ai, Ding Feng, Ding Feng, Fu Qian and others also looked back with a look of certainty.

Great work ahead, who cares about such things as face!
Seeing the eyes of the beloved generals colliding invisibly in the air, Mi Yang was both satisfied and embarrassed by the scene in front of him.

There are only two people, Guo Huai and Cao Hong, how can they be divided.

In the end, Mi Yang came up with a compromise.

"Guhui personally conquers the two thieves Guo Huai and Cao Hong."

Hearing what Mi Yang said, the generals of Liangzhou stopped looking at each other, and they all looked at Mi Yang in surprise.

You have made such a great contribution, how can you still have the nerve to compete with us for such a "small contribution"!

Although the generals were surprised, they did not dare to speak out against it directly.

In the end, Wei Yan's mind turned quickly, he took a step forward, intentionally exposed the wound cloth tied to his hand, and then looked at Mi Yang with pleading eyes-I have bled and been injured for you, can you turn a blind eye to this? ?

Wei Yan's performance attracted all the generals' surprise, is that okay?
But when Mi Yang saw Wei Yan's actions, he couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Mi Yang reiterated his decision.

Mi Yang's decision shattered the expectations of Wei Yan and others. In the case of Mi Yang's personal conquest, even they can make military exploits with the army, but such military exploits are not as great as defeating the enemy alone.

Looking at the disappointed expressions of the generals, Mi Yang couldn't bear to dampen their enthusiasm, and explained to Wei Yan and Deng Ai:

"Gu is not trying to claim credit, but actually has other important matters to entrust to Er Qing."

Mi Yang's words made Wei Yan and Deng Ai's eyes show strong longing again.

There is no need for Mi Yang to lie to them.

Mi Yang met the eager eyes of Wei Yan and Deng Ai, and expressed his plan.

"Gu Yu asked the two of them to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to go to Luogu and Xiegu respectively, and take down these two fortresses for Gu."

Mi Yang's words made Wei Yan and Deng Ai suddenly realize the difficulty of this matter.

As we all know, when Cao Zhen's army entered Hanzhong, it mainly passed through the two passages of Luogu and Xiegu.

After leading the troops into Hanzhong, the Wei army built fortresses at Luogu and Xiegukou respectively to hoard a large amount of military rations shipped from Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Deng Ai couldn't help but asked aloud: "Does the general want to seize the food stored by the bandit army?"

Deng Ai was astute, and his guess was not wrong, but he was only half right.

Mi Yang smiled and asked someone to carry a new map. When the large map was hung behind Mi Yang, everyone in the hall couldn't help breathing quickly.

Even many people stood up involuntarily.

Everyone had this reaction, and it was they who seemed to have a glimpse of the blueprint hegemony in Mi Yang's heart at this moment.

What hangs behind Mi Yang is not a map of Liangzhou, but a brand new map of Guanzhong!

Mi Yang suddenly ordered someone to hang up the map of Guanzhong. Isn't his intention obvious?
Northern Expedition!

Mi Yang's next words confirmed the conjectures in everyone's mind.

"Since Cao Zhen was defeated, the two thieves Guo Huai and Cao Hong are just dead bones in the tomb, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated, so there is nothing to fear.

However, His Majesty and the Prime Minister have exhausted the national power of Yizhou and summoned tens of thousands of troops for Gu. Is it possible that Gu will only repay His Majesty and the Prime Minister with the results of defending Liangzhou?

After our army defeated the two major armies of Guo Huai and Cao Hong, none of the field elites of the Wei army in Guanzhong survived. At this time, it was time for our army to make a large-scale northern expedition to recover the country.

It is advisable to use the remaining courage to chase the poor, not to become famous and learn to be the overlord! "

When he said the last sentence, Mi Yang slammed the seal of the great general in his hand on the case in front of him.

The gold general seal collided with the book case, making a clear and loud noise, and this loud noise was like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, shaking the hearts of everyone in the hall.

The eight words of the Northern Expedition and the recovery of the country are like the best nourishment in the world, and they have completely inspired the ambitions in everyone's hearts.

This is what a big man should do!
Under the strong excitement in the heart, everyone in the hall paid homage to Mi Yang with great enthusiasm.

And at this moment, Wei Yan and Deng Ai also knew how important their mission was.

Yizhou is short of food, but if they can capture the two grain and grass bases of the Wei army, then the biggest shortcoming of the Han army will be made up in an instant.

At that time, the Northern Expedition will definitely not be a loud slogan, but something that can be put into action immediately.

When everyone was thinking of sweeping out the bandits in the territory, Mi Yang had already thought of the Northern Expedition, which was the pattern that a great Han general should have.

Wei Yan and Deng Ai had no reluctance in their hearts. After receiving Mi Yang's general order, under the envious eyes of the generals, they were overjoyed to go to order soldiers and horses.

After Wei Yan and Deng Ai left, Mi Yang arranged everything for the expedition in a few days, and ordered all the generals to retreat.

But Fa Miao, Lu Yi, and Zhou Tai spontaneously stayed.

The three stayed behind to compete for Mi Yang's writing of the battle report.

Irrigated with water for tens of miles of the Wei army's joint battalion, causing more than [-] Wei troops to be wiped out while talking and laughing, what a great victory this is.

And what an honor it is to personally write the battle report for this famous victory?

As civic officials, although they can't compete for meritorious service on the battlefield, they must contend for the glory under the battlefield no matter what.

In order to win this honor, Fa Miao and Lu Yi each brought out their respective identities of Biejia and Zhizhong, hoping to prove the legitimacy of writing the battle report.

As for Zhou Tai, although his status is not as high as theirs, he used the fact that he personally broke the embankment as a bargaining chip to fight. With the three of them not giving in to each other, it was hard to tell the winner.

Mi Yang looked at the three lovers who were fighting, and he had some headaches, so he could only ask the three to write a battle report and submit it, and then choose the best one.

Later, Mi Yang chose the best battle report written by the three of them, and then ordered someone to transcribe several copies and send it out at a speed of hundreds of miles.

After a few days:

Wanjun Hanshui is the guide of the gods, and the feathers report the shock of the world!
