After learning the news of Mi Yang's sudden attack on the water village above the Han River, although Shen Yi was very shocked in his heart, but at this critical moment of life and death when the soldiers were pressing, Shen Yi still forced himself to calm down.

Where is he still in the mood to vent now***, he shouted and told those boys and girls in the hall to get down.

Then he immediately asked the guards to summon him, and his subordinates in the western city came to the hall to discuss the matter.

And the boys and girls who were kneeling in the lobby, after hearing Shen Yi's angry shouts, were so frightened that they quickly got up and left the lobby under Shen Yi's ***.

But when they left, they couldn't help but have a glimmer of happiness in their hearts.

The news that was like bad news to Shen Yi was the most wonderful news they had heard this year.

Because this news means that Shen Yi will no longer be able to "pamper" them for a long time to come.

At the same time, a thought slowly emerged in their hearts, the prince of the Shen Yi clan and the prince of the house that Shen Yi feared, is it the Mi Yang who broke the 100,000 army in Jiangdong?

Mi Yang's reputation is so great that even they have heard of it.

I hope the prince can get rid of the thief!

An emotion called anticipation began to ripple in the hearts of many boys and girls.

And this kind of emotion will soon spread slowly in Xicheng with the help of the mouths of these young boys and girls.

...

Under Shen Yi's quick summons, not long after, the county magistrate's subordinates who could get out of affairs in Xicheng all arrived in the lobby.

When they arrived in the lobby, they saw Shen Yi sitting on the main seat with a gloomy face, and the bloodied soldiers in the lobby.

After seeing this scene, the Xicheng officials who arrived in the lobby all showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Shen Yi said in a low tone and informed the officials of Xicheng in the hall that Mi Yang suddenly led the army to blockade Hanshui.

Although these Xicheng officials were all holding official positions, they were actually either Shen Yi's clansmen or Shen Yi's guests.

So they are all Shen Yi's henchmen, and Shen Yi has nothing to hide from them.

And after these Xicheng officials learned the news, the look of surprise on their faces turned into horror.

None of you are stupid.

Hanshui outside Xicheng is the jurisdiction of Shenyi, the mayor of Xicheng, and Mi Yang suddenly sent a large army to seize control there, which is already the behavior of the poor dagger.

Mi Yang actually "declared war" on them when they were defenseless.

The word "declaration of war" is very ridiculous, because Mi Yang is the Han Xing Taishou.

Not to mention that Mi Yang sent troops to blockade Hanshui, that is, Mi Yang sent troops to Xicheng for a day trip, and by the way, he arrested all of them and threw them into prison, all of which were done depending on Mi Yang's mood.

But this word seems very ridiculous, but in the minds of these subordinates who have long regarded Xicheng as Shen Yi's private property, it naturally pops up.

Shen Yi looked at the frightened look on the faces of the people present after learning the news, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Although he had the same look, he summoned these subordinates to listen to advice, not to look at their fearful looks.

Shen Yi asked in a cold voice to all the subordinate officials present, "Now that the Han water channel has been lost, the army that wants to come to Miyang will reach Xicheng in a few days, do you have any suggestions to help me get through this difficulty?"

After asking this sentence, Shen Yi emphatically emphasized: "Today, I, Shen Yi, can serve as the mayor of Xicheng, and everyone here has made great contributions."

"If I, Shenyi, are captured by Mi Yang in the end, I'm afraid that all of you here will not be able to escape Mi Yang's butcher's knife.

Therefore you had better plan for me with all your hearts, or the day of the fall of the city will be the time when I will die with you."

Shen Yi used a threatening tone to warn everyone present.

The reason why he did this was because he was afraid that someone would disagree.

Everyone here knows that Mi Yang brought 10,000 troops from Chengdu.

And now, since Mi Yang dares to directly "declare war", it means that the 10,000 troops under Mi Yang's command have been trained.

Coupled with Mi Yang's prestige, that great prestige and the deterrent power of 10,000 troops are easy to make some people who are not strong-willed think about something they shouldn't have.

Just as Shen Yi was worried, after everyone here knew the news that Mi Yang was about to lead the army, many people had some thoughts in their hearts because of fear.

But their thoughts were quickly suppressed by them under Shen Yi's threatening words.

They are now in the same boat as Shen Yi, and if Shen's big ship sinks, then their fate will not be much better.

Under Shen Yi's threat, the heads of everyone present are moving rapidly, and now it is to save Shen Yi as if saving himself.

After a long time, one of the scribes present took the lead in coming out and bowing to Shen Yiyi:

"County Jun, Qin thinks that it is imperative not to let Xicheng fall into the encirclement of Miyang's army."

After waiting for a long time, Shen Yi saw that someone finally came out to speak, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.

Shen Yi looked at this man and realized that this person was not from his clan.

This person's name is Zhao Qin, the word is public, and he is a person from Guanzhong.

At the beginning, because of the continuous war in Guanzhong, many people in Guanzhong crossed the Meridian Valley and came to Hanzhong County.

And because Xicheng is next to the Meridian Valley, many people fled to Xicheng.

For these heavenly benefits, of course, Shen Yi laughed at them all.

Among those many people, there are also many literary scholars, and Zhao Qin was one of them.

Later, in order to continue to master Xicheng, Shen Yi recruited many literary scholars from Guanzhong to become his subordinates, and Zhao Qin entered Shen Yi's county government at that time.

In Shen Yi's impression, since Zhao Qin joined his county government, he has been diligent and diligent as his name, and there is nothing outstanding about it.

Unexpectedly, now it was the first time he came out to speak.

After listening to Zhao Mian's words, Shen Yi's face immediately showed expectation, and Shen Yi motioned for Zhao Qin to continue.

Under Shen Yi's instructions, Zhao Qin continued to speak: "Mi Yang's master inherited a famous family and grew up in Chengdu City, so he must know the truth that he must be famous to become a teacher."

"Mi Yang can go against the current by surprise, which proves that Shang Yongchang may have encountered an accident."

"Although he is sending troops with the dignity of the prince of the government, the chief is a liehou, and his identity is different from that of ordinary county magistrates. If Mi Yang wants to block Youyou's mouth, he will definitely explain it to the king."

"Mi Yang's army is already quite tricky, if the king listens to Mi Yang's words and then sends reinforcements to support Mi Yang after learning this news, then Xicheng is in danger. Besides, there is still General Zhenyuan on the side of the West City?"

"Compared with Shangyong, Xicheng is closer to Chengdu and closer to Hanzhong.

Therefore, Qin suggested that the county monarch should immediately write to the king, stating Mi Yang's crime of killing the townspeople without authorization.

In this way, even if the king received Mi Yang's letter, because the king was far away in Chengdu and did not know the real situation in the county, he would not send reinforcements under hesitation."

"After sending a letter to the king, the county magistrate may, in the name of the governor of Xicheng, send a document accusing Miyang of the atrocities to General Zhenyuan of Hanzhong County and the nearby counties.

In this way, it will disturb the thoughts of the surrounding counties, so that they will not be able to cooperate with Mi Yang in the first place and start a siege of Xicheng."

After listening to Zhao Mian's advice, Shen Yi's face showed a hint of joy.

Although Zhao Mian's method could not cure the root cause, it could finally buy him some respite.

And as long as he can buy enough time for himself, as long as Xicheng does not fall in a short time, then Shen Yi can send messengers to contact Cao Ren in the lower reaches of the Han River.

As long as Cao Ren can send troops to rescue him, then things will have a chance to turn around.

Shen Yi, who got a good plan, immediately did what Zhao Qin said.

Soon several documents were written by him himself, and then sent to his cronies

Around.

In the end, Shen Yi summoned a group of clan soldiers and handed them his handwritten letter to Cao Ren, and Shen Yi told the clan soldiers to deliver the letter to Cao Ren in Wancheng as soon as possible.

This is Shen Yi's only lifesaver at present!

The Han River leading from Xicheng to Nanyang has been blocked by Zhang Wei's army.

However, the rivers in Hanxing County are crisscrossed and the mountains and forests are dense, and there is more than one hidden road from Xicheng to Nanyang for a few people to walk.

Under Shen Yi's heavy instructions, the team of Shen clan soldiers hurriedly ran out of the county government after taking Shen Yi's handwritten letterhead.

Looking at the back of the departing team of Shen clan soldiers, Shen Yi's heart settled down a little.

The next thing he had to do was to guard Xicheng and wait for Cao Ren's reinforcements to arrive.

...

In the early morning of the second day after Zhang Wei blocked the Han River, a fleet of thousands of sailors began to appear on the Han River outside the West City.

It was Mi Yang who led the army to arrive.

In the early morning of the second day after taking Shangyong City, Mi Yang left 2,000 soldiers and horses for Meng Da and asked him to stay in Shangyong.

And he himself personally led the remaining 5,000 troops and marched quickly towards Xicheng.

Shangyong City was initially decided, and the people's hearts were still unstable, so leaving 2,000 troops to Meng Da was to prevent accidents in Shangyong City.

After a day and a night of marching, he finally led the army to the outside of the West City.

After getting the news of Mi Yang's arrival, Zhang Wei left an army of 1,000 to Lu Yi, and then he himself led an army of 2,000 to join Mi Yang.

All the water villages on the Han River were built by Shen Yi in various dangerous places.

Therefore, even if Cao Ren led a large army to attack, then the 1,000 army left for Lu Yi would be enough to hold on to Shuizhai for a period of time.

During that time, Mi Yang outside the West City could send reinforcements to rescue.

Having mastered the right to control the water of Hanshui, he has an incomparable advantage in terms of marching speed.

After Zhang Wei led an army of 2,000 to converge with Miyang, the army of Miyang outside Xicheng at this time had a total strength of 8,000 people.

And the Shenyi soldiers in the West City have at least 3,000 troops.

Just looking at the comparison of troops, it seems that Miyang's army does not have an advantage.

After all, there is a saying in the art of war: so the law of war, ten is to encircle, five is to attack, and the enemy can fight, less can defend, and if not, it can be avoided.

But Sun Wu's sentence is not as most people understand, once the siege of the city must be ten times the number of troops.

Sun Wu's sentence comes from "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Seeking Attack", which means to remind the generals to know themselves and their opponents, judge the situation and adopt flexible and mobile strategies and tactics.

For example, if the opponent has ten times the number of troops, then find a way to surround and annihilate the enemy, and if the strength is five times that of the opponent, then you can attack the enemy.

Siege warfare is not easy in the world, but the victory or defeat is not determined by the number of troops alone, but also by many factors, such as military morale, strategy, and the city's defense.

For example, in the battle of Xiangfan that happened not long ago, Guan Yu's troops were not very large, and the original defenders in the two cities of Xiangfan were not small.

But as long as Guan Yu's strategy is used correctly, Cao Ren will be beaten without temper.

After Mi Yang's army arrived in Xicheng, Shen Yi in Xicheng soon learned the news.

Looking at the warships not far from the city, the groups of Miyang troops with high morale and neat appearance, Shen Yi's heart began to feel uneasy again.

If he was rushed into the city by these wolf-like armies, then he Shenyi would be dead.

Under the threat of Mi Yang's army, Shen Yi hurriedly issued orders one after another to cheer up the soldiers on the city wall, so as to prevent Mi Yang from leading the army to raid the city wall.

And Mi Yang on the boat looked at the West City not far away, and the West City in front of him looked very simple in his eyes.

Whether it is the moat outside the city or the height of the city wall, it is far inferior to the public security.

At this time, he came to Mi Yang's side

Zhang Wei reported to Mi Yang all his previous arrangements.

After listening to Zhang Wei's suspicious plan, Mi Yang happily patted Zhang Wei's shoulder and said, "Born really prostrate, Keqi Kezhi, it's a person like Boqi who praises!"

The sentence Keqi Kewei comes from the "Daya Shengmin" in the Book of Songs.

This sentence was originally a compliment to Hou Ji's intelligence when he was young, but it was gradually extended to praise a person's intelligence.

And among Zhang Wei's name and words, there are exactly two character stones, Qi and 嶷, so Mi Yang's praise of Zhang Wei is very appropriate.

Mi Yang's praise sounded very pleasant to Zhang Wei, after all, this was an affirmation from the world's famous generals.

Mi Yang's judgment of Cao Ren is similar to Zhang Wei, and at the same time, Mi Yang still has a layer of inference in his heart.

Now Cao Pi should be busy with the affairs of the Han Dynasty, in this case, what Cao Pi wants is stability.

And Cao Ren is currently the number one general of the Cao clan, so Cao Pi Daihan's mind must have passed in advance with Cao Ren.

Knowing Cao Pi's intentions, unless he was sure of victory, Cao Ren would not easily send troops.

After praising Zhang Wei, Mi Yang looked at the wooden fences on the bank of the Han River guarding the West City in front of him, and Mi Yang ordered Ding Feng next to him to call Deng Ai and Ding Feng.

If he remembers correctly, one of the fortresses in history that blocked the reinforcements of the Han army supporting Mengda was this wooden gate fortress.

And not long after Mi Yang's army arrived outside Xicheng, Wei Yan, who was in Hanzhong, was the first to receive Shen Yi's documents.

After seeing Shen Yi's paperwork, Wei Yan's brows furrowed deeply.
