Mi Han

Chapter 510 Victory Without a Fight
Some news cannot be concealed, especially for Jianye who has been infiltrated by the family.

When Shiyi sent the order to Yong'an, it didn't take long for the entire Jianye City to know that Sun Quan was going to recall Lu Xun.

And when the news was known by all Jiangdong officials, they all understood Sun Quan's decision.

There are many local ministers in Jiangdong who immediately wanted to jointly meet with Sun Quan, and wanted to persuade Sun Quan to withdraw his order.

For the local ministers in Jiangdong, in order to protect their own vested interests, they have never supported the use of foreign troops.

If it is necessary to use troops abroad, then the best and only choice should be Jingzhou, and it will never be Hefei.

It's just that before all the Jiangdong ministers were connected, another heavy news began to spread, which directly shocked them all.

"In the battle of Liangzhou, the entire Wei army was wiped out."

The news was very brief, and did not detail how Mi Yang won the victory, but it was this brief news that plunged the entire Jianye City into an eerie silence.

There were many undercurrents that could not be seen on the bright side, and after a long time, all the important ministers in Jiangdong who originally planned to prevent Sun Quan from attacking Hefei also gave up this idea one after another.

What's more, he directly ordered people to seal the soil at his gate, expressing his intention of rejecting visitors by decisive means.

This person is Zhang Zhao, the most important minister in Jiangdong today.

Zhang Zhao did this for a very simple reason, without him, his face hurts.

His original assertion was known to the entire Jianye City, and it has always been the most critical argument for the local ministers in Jiangdong to oppose the Northern Expedition.

And after Zhang Zhao stayed behind closed doors and refused visitors, it meant that Jiangdong had no power inside to stop Sun Quan's move to Hefei.

A series of military orders were sent from the Taiwei Mansion in Jianye City to various places in Jiangdong.

Jiang Dong, who has recuperated for several years, finally plans to show his fangs again.

And Sun Quan's undisguised large-scale movement of troops and grain transportation could not hide the secret from Cao Wei's spies.

Soon, an intensified military situation moved towards Hefei at an extremely fast speed.

This military situation is bound to cause another drastic change in the situation of the world.

The encirclement has been completed, and Cao Weicheng's case is also fish and meat.

At the end of August in the fourth year of Zhangwu in the Han Dynasty, after a period of rest, Mi Yang finally led his army to Yangping Pass.

As early as half a month ago, Mi Yang had transferred troops to Yangping Pass one after another. He himself even left Nanzheng and came to Seoul not far from Yangping Pass.

But after the flood, the roads were muddy and difficult to walk, and he had just experienced a war, so Mi Yang should also be sympathetic and let the army take a good rest.

Anyway, Cao Hong couldn't run away.

Before Cao Zhen's army was destroyed, Liangzhou's main force was restrained by Cao Zhen's army, and Cao Hong blocked the passage outside Yangping Pass, which caused the whole territory of Hanzhong to fall into a situation of fighting everywhere.

But when Cao Zhen's army was destroyed, not only the main force of Liangzhou could be withdrawn, Mi Yang also received the assistance of [-] troops from Yizhou.

Up to this moment, the offensive and defensive momentum of the enemy and ourselves has completely changed.

Mi Yang did not transfer all his troops to Yangping Pass, he only brought [-] troops to Yangping Pass.

The reason why Mi Yang did not transfer all his troops to Yangping Pass was because he needed to leave part of the army to prepare for the subsequent Northern Expedition.

On the other hand, considering the current situation, it is not difficult for [-] troops to defeat the two Wei armies of Cao Hong and Guo Huai.

This is not arrogant.

Although the [-] army may be about the same strength as Cao Hong's in terms of statistics, it is even less than the combined strength of Cao Hong and Guo Huai.

But war has never been a simple competition of statistics.

No matter how many troops Cao Hong and Guo Huai have, they are also guest troops, while Mi Yang's army is the main army occupying a favorable location.

Moreover, after Mi Yang led the army to Yangping Pass, Cao Hong's grain transportation route was always exposed to the threat of the Han army's front, which allowed the Han army to take the initiative in the war, that is, the right time.

Most importantly, after this period of deliberation, Cao Hong may have received the news of Cao Zhen's defeat.

It doesn't matter even if Cao Hong didn't receive the news, Mi Yang will help him.

After leading the army to Yangping Pass, Mi Yang did not immediately lead the army to launch a fierce attack on the Wei army camp.

What Mi Yang thinks is to subdue others without fighting.

Mi Yang ordered to show the Wei army's flag and military resources obtained by cleaning the battlefield to the Wei army in the camp one by one.

In addition, Mi Yang also selected thousands of sergeants with loud voices from the army, and ordered them to divide into two groups to spread the news that Cao Zhen's entire army was wiped out outside the camp of the Wei army day and night.

After Mi Yang arranged for people to do these two things, he stayed quietly in Yangping Pass, waiting for the development of the situation.

Compared to Mi Yang's composure, Cao Hong at this time was almost anxious to grab all his beards off.

Today, Cao Hong held a meeting in the big tent for the third time.

The generals summoned by Cao Hong saw Cao Hong anxiously scratching his beard, and their faces were all dead.

After learning the news that the Han army had propagated a few days ago, the entire Wei army camp fell into panic.

If it was only the oral propaganda of the Han army, then the tens of thousands of Wei troops would not be like this.

But the important thing is that at the same time, the Han army was still displaying many armor flags discarded by the Wei army in the open space outside the Wei army camp.

The most disgusting thing is, I don't know if it was Mi Yang's idea, the Han army will calmly update different armor banners every day under the watchful eyes of the Wei army.

Whenever seeing the new armor flags brought in by the Han army, and putting the old armor flags on vehicles and pushing them back to Yangping Pass, the mentality of tens of thousands of Wei troops almost collapsed.

What does this prove?
It proves that there are still many armor flags of our own in Yangping Pass that will not be displayed in the future, and it further proves that the thing that the Han army has publicized in recent days is likely to be true!

How can this mentality not explode?
And Cao Hong called an emergency meeting on the first day Mi Yang led the army to arrive.

Sometimes even on the same day, Cao Hong would convene parliament several times.

To this day, none of the Wei generals knew how many times they had participated in the councils in the past few days.

But has the frequent convening of parliaments solved practical problems?

No, this can be seen from Cao Hong's performance.

The real problem at the moment is that tens of thousands of Wei troops were cut off by Mi Yang's army.

Moreover, because Zhuge Liang led "tens of thousands of Han troops" out of Jiange to camp, the road for tens of thousands of Wei troops to join Yinping and Guohuai has also been cut off.

Under such circumstances, the tens of thousands of Wei troops currently led by Cao Hong are in a state of being locked up and beaten.

This is another major reason for the violent turmoil in the tens of thousands of Wei troops.

Cao Hong's anxiety fell into the eyes of the generals, and knowing the desperation they were currently facing, the expressions of death on the faces of the generals became more and more intense.

It's just that our side is in a desperate situation, and our main general is powerless, how can this not make people despair?
But sometimes emotions can affect each other.

Cao Hong looked at the lifeless expressions on the faces of the generals, which made the fear in his heart grow quietly.

For a while, Cao Hong and the generals in the tent looked at each other, but it made them lose hope for the future of their own army even more.

This also made the entire big tent in a strange tranquility.

Quiet like a mourning hall.

It seems that today these Wei generals did not gather to discuss matters, but gathered to mourn for their tens of thousands of troops.

However, Cao Wei occupies the essence of China, and talented people emerge in endlessly. In the current big tent, it is not that no one has a solution in mind.

For example, Sun Li.

Seeing the lifeless look in the big tent, Sun Li was so angry that he almost gritted his steel teeth to pieces.

Is this still the coercive Wei?
Because of the anger in his heart, Sun Li couldn't bear it any longer in today's meeting. He stood up and approached Cao Hong to remonstrate:
"General Hussars, now is not the time to hesitate, the longer the time drags on, the more demoralized our army will be.

Our army should concentrate our forces to break through the siege while the morale of the army has not yet collapsed! "

Sun Li's tone was resonant, but after he finished speaking, there were scattered laughter in the tent.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the tens of thousands of Wei troops want to escape, the only way is to break through.

But how?
Cao Hong did not open his mouth to laugh at Sun Li.

Although Sun Li's military rank is not high at the moment, if Liu Feng's night attack hadn't been handled in a timely manner, the Wei army's battle losses would have been even greater.

After this incident, Cao Hong treated Sun Li quite differently.

But even so, it can't change Cao Hong's pessimistic attitude.

"Our army's back road has been blocked by the Han army. Who is Mi Yang? Since he has led the army to block the back road, how can he let our army break out?"

Cao Hong's response was full of affirmation.

And this is why some generals laughed at Sun Li just now.

It would be fine if someone else led the army to block the back road. Now it is Mi Yang who personally leads the army to sit at Yangping Pass.

Mi Yang's great reputation directly made most Wei generals lose the idea of ​​breaking out.

After hearing Cao Hong's response, Sun Li also had to say that Cao Hong was right.

But he didn't want to break out from the back at all.

Sun Li paid homage to Cao Hong again: "I sent scouts out to investigate a few days ago, and our army's rear has been blocked by a large number of Han troops, and the number of sightings is at least tens of thousands.

Mi Yang fought fiercely in Liangzhou for a year, and lost a lot of troops. Where did he get this tens of thousands of troops?
There is no doubt that it is Yizhou. "

The current territory of the Han Dynasty is so large, and although there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Jingzhou, it is impossible for Jingzhou to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to rescue Mi Yang.

In addition, since Mi Yang can let those tens of thousands of soldiers block the retreat of the Wei army, they must be elite soldiers.

Based on these two basic inferences, it is not difficult to guess where the tens of thousands of troops that emerged out of Mi Yang's hands came from after Jingzhou was excluded.

Moreover, Cao Zhen's sudden defeat may be directly related to this.

"Although I still don't know why the Yizhou reinforcements can bypass our army and reach Liangzhou.

But no matter how quickly Yizhou's national strength recovers, how many troops will Zhuge Liang still have in his hands after tens of thousands of troops are drawn to aid Liangzhou?

I deduce that the Han army camp outside the Jiange may be just Zhuge Liang's bluff.

General Hussars might as well gather the whole army and storm the Han army camp outside the Jiange. As long as our army can break through the camp here, our army can open the passage to Yinping. "

After Sun Li finished talking about his strategy, he looked at Cao Hong expectantly.

He hoped that Cao Hong could adopt the current method, the only way to save tens of thousands of Wei troops.

Unexpectedly, before Cao Hong could respond, Yang Fu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"Where's the evidence?"

These three cold words directly caused the warm atmosphere in the big tent to suddenly fall silent again.

Yes, what about the evidence?

Everything Sun Li said made sense at first glance, but there was not even a single piece of specific intelligence argument, which meant that what Sun Li said was all his own speculation.

And it was normal for Yang Fu to say these words suddenly.

He was originally the governor of Liangzhou, and he was mainly responsible for handling government affairs for the first half of his life.

This kind of experience allowed Yang Fu to develop a cautious and intelligence-oriented character.

After all, every decree affects the lives of many people, and if there is no certain intelligence as the basis, how dare it be promulgated rashly.

Sun Li was choked by Yang Fu, and he couldn't answer Yang Fu's question.

He understood why Yang Fu asked this question, but he also didn't think he was wrong.

How can war be confused with government affairs?
Government affairs are mainly based on seeking stability, but wars, especially in critical situations, are often won by taking risks and keen judgments.

Sun Li did not dare to say that what he said must be correct, but considering the current situation, it is very necessary to try his strategy.

Sun Li didn't ask Yang Fu to understand him, he looked at Cao Hong who had been silent all this time, he thought Cao Hong would understand him.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Yang Fu's rhetorical question, Cao Hong met Sun Li's expectant eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said:
"This plan is too risky to do."

Sun Li laughed angrily at Cao Hong's answer.

Too risky?

The current Wei Jun does not take risks, how can he get a chance?
Sun Li wanted to persuade him again, but Cao Hong directly and decisively vetoed him again: "There is no need to discuss this matter again!"

Cao Hong's attitude directly made Sun Li disheartened.

He looked around at the Wei generals in the tent, seeing that none of them dared to speak up with him, Sun Li found it extremely ironic.

"You guys are all sinners of Wei!"

After putting down these words, Sun Li walked out of the big tent angrily.

Sun Li's disrespectful behavior made Cao Hong angry, but thinking of his previous achievements, Cao Hong generously forgave Sun Li's disrespect.

As for what Sun Li said before leaving, Cao Hong didn't care.

Is what Sun Li said makes sense?

Of course there is.

But Cao Hong had reasons to refuse.

The first reason is what he said, Sun Li's plan is too risky.

Cao Hong is no longer young.

When he was young, he followed Cao Cao to fight in all directions, not knowing why he died.

But the old man had too much.

A person's blood and ambition will change with age and how much he has.

The second reason is that he looked at the Wei generals in the tent who had no fighting spirit. Breaking through the siege requires the courage to fear death, but do these Wei generals have it now?
If General Wei is like this, what about the soldiers below?
In addition to these two reasons, there is another reason that is not understandable to outsiders.

According to the current situation, it is very difficult to save tens of thousands of Wei Jun, but this does not mean that Cao Hong cannot be saved.

Thinking of this, Cao Hong made a decision in his heart.

General, since you were the first to lose, you can't blame me for the next one.
