Chapter 226: Reprimanding the Generals and Delaying the Army
At noon on the second day, Mi Yang, escorted by more than 1,000 personal guards, came to Wudang County by warship.
When they learned the news of Mi Yang's arrival at the port, the generals in the Han army camp came to the port to welcome Mi Yang's arrival.
During Mi Yang's absence, because of Mi Yang's appointment, the temporary commander of the army would be Feng Xi.
At dawn today, Feng Xi commanded the Han army that was already in the barracks to continue repairing the barracks.
On the one hand, he began to assign generals to lead his subordinates to land on the warships on the Han River.
After landing in the morning, tens of thousands of Han troops entered their respective camps planned by Feng Xi in an orderly manner.
Wudang County is surrounded by the Han River in the west, and there is land on the east, south, and north, and these three sides of the land are not far from other counties in Nanyang County.
Although tens of thousands of Han troops surrounded Wudang County, from a more macro perspective, tens of thousands of Han troops were also surrounded by the entire Wei army.
In such a situation, the location of the Chinese army of the army is very crucial.
The Chinese army is the command system of the entire army, and its safety is vital to the life and death of tens of thousands of Han troops.
After thinking about it, Feng Xi set the location of the Chinese army's big tent in the south of Wudang City.
There is also the Han River flowing not far south of Wudang County, even if the situation is not safe, as long as it is not a sudden defeat, then the Han army, which holds the right to control the water of the Han River, can board ships and retreat from the south.
Moreover, the south of Wudang County is close to Xiangyang.
In this way, because of the containment of Guan Yu in Xiangyang, the Wei army from the south could not draw too many troops to rush to the aid of Wudang County.
This gives a certain guarantee to the security of the Chinese army's tent set up in the south.
After Feng Xi and the other generals greeted Mi Yang, Feng Xi immediately reported all the arrangements he had made to Mi Yang.
Listening to the other military affairs reports, Mi Yang had a smile on his face, and he deeply felt that Feng Xi had handled things properly.
It's just that after hearing that Feng Xi had arranged his Chinese army's big tent in the south of Wudang City, he didn't agree with Feng Xi's arrangement.
Mi Yang said to Feng Xiyan: "Move my Chinese army tent to the north." β
Mi Yang's request made Feng Xi stunned.
Feng Xi couldn't help but dissuade: "General, the Chinese army is the essence of the army, and safety should come first." β
After listening to Feng Xi's persuasion, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.
Feng Xi arranged his Chinese army tent in the south for his safety, which Mi Yang certainly knew.
It's just that the situation is different today.
Mi Yang already knew that the news of the Manchu General asking for help was released, so it would not be long before a large number of Wei reinforcements would come outside Wudang County.
And of the three directions in which the Wei army came to help, there was no doubt that the north was the most dangerous.
Under such circumstances, Mi Yang, as the chief general, could not only think about his own safety, he had to consider the safety of tens of thousands of Han soldiers.
It is true that the Wei army in the north of Japan will be the most numerous and the most elite, but the more so, the more he will personally guard the north of Wudang County.
Only in this way, with his prestige, can the safety of the large camp in the north be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
And as long as the Han army's northern camp is not lost, then the Wei army on the other two sides is not worried.
Because not only the south of Wudang County is close to Xiangyang, there is the existence of Han River, but also its east is always under the front of Xiangyang.

Mi Yang patted Feng Xi's shoulder and replied: "Tens of thousands of sons and daughters will go out with me, I am the main general, how can I avoid the enemy?" β
Mi Yang's answer clearly showed his attitude.
Seeing Mi Yang's attitude so resolute, Feng Xi no longer dissuaded him.
Because of the urgency of the military situation, the transfer of the Chinese army's big tent is not something that can be completed in a short time and a half.
Therefore, Mi Yang led the generals to discuss the military situation in a tent in the northern camp of the Han army.
Mi Yang stayed in Xicheng yesterday, mainly to deal with the aftermath after the war.
In the battle, many Wei troops surrendered, and these Wei prisoners roughly calculated that there were about 20,000 people.
With so many captives, it will become a hidden danger if not disposed of properly.
In order to be optimistic about these captives, Mi Yang specially left a total of 10,000 troops inside and outside Xicheng to garrison Cheng Ji and Meng Da to prevent changes in the rear.
In addition to the problem of prisoners, Hanshui outside Xicheng was already in disarray after the Great War.
Broken ship boards, corpses of Wei soldiers, and a large amount of ordnance floated around the Han River.
These must be cleaned up well, otherwise if left unchecked, it will not only easily cause plague after winter, but also block the river of Hanshui to a certain extent.
After roughly arranging the disposal measures, Mi Yang was able to withdraw and come to Wudang County.
With Mi Yang's general arrangement, the rest of the specific aftermath work will be handed over to Lu Yi, Cheng Ji and others.
After leaving 10,000 troops to garrison Xicheng, the current Han army outside Wudang County has about 30,000 troops left.
After all the generals were seated, before Mi Yang could speak, Zhang Bao immediately turned to Mi Yang and asked for his life:
"Now that the general has arrived, Bao asked for orders to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to take Wudang for the general."
Hearing that Zhang Bao actually rushed in front of him to ask Mi Yang for battle, surprise appeared on Ding Feng's face in the tent.
Someone wanted to rob him of his job.
So just after Zhang Bao asked for his life, Ding Feng immediately asked Mi Yang for his life:
"I am willing to lead hundreds of troops to be the first, and then take Wudang for the general."
Ding Feng's words were full of confidence, and his words were taking the previous battle of Xicheng as an example.
Didn't he rely on 500 first-class soldiers to create a good opportunity for Mi Yang to take Xicheng in that battle?
In Ding Feng's opinion, today's Wudang may be easier to win than Xicheng.
Zhang Bao saw that Ding Feng came out to ask Mi Yang for war after he asked for war, and a little unhappiness appeared on his face.
But Zhang Bao is not a small person, and he doesn't care too much about Ding Feng's behavior.
But unexpectedly, after Zhang Bao and Ding Feng came out to ask for battle, the military tent was like a powder keg that had been ignited, and the atmosphere began to heat up.
Guan Xing, Zhao Tong, Zhang Wei and other generals came out to ask Mi Yang for battle.
Even under the invitation of five consecutive generals, even the veteran Zhang Nan couldn't help but get up and join the lineup.
At present, only Feng Xi and Deng Ai are left kneeling in the entire military tent, and they have not gotten up to ask for battle.
But compared to Feng Xi's composure, Deng Ai's face was full of melancholy.
And Mi Yang, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at this scene, and his face instantly became gloomy.
When Zhang Bao took the lead in asking for war, Mi Yang's face still had a smile, because this was a kind of military spirit that could be used.

But then as Ding Feng and other generals came out to ask for battle, Mi Yang finally realized that something was wrong.
Mi Yang sat on the main seat and looked at the members of the tent who got up to invite the battle, and their faces showed an excited look, which reflected their psychology of feeling that this battle would be won.
Even in the words of the crowd asking for war, some unrealistic words began to emerge.
It seems that in the eyes of everyone who is asking for war, Wudang County is like a piece of tofu that can be kneaded at will.
As long as Mi Yang gives an order, he can be taken down by them in an instant.
The performance of the people in the tent all told Mi Yang a fact.
Under the influence of the great victory, or rather under the influence of their own prestige, these people began to slowly transform into arrogant generals.
In their hearts, tens of thousands of Wei troops led by "generals of heaven and man" like Cao Ren were wiped out under their attacks.
So how can a small Wudang County stop their pace?
After realizing this, Mi Yang's face remained gloomy.
Let's not talk about whether Wudang County is good or not, and the arrogant army will be defeated, Mi Yang still understands the truth.
When the crowd was enthusiastically asking for battle, suddenly a sentence came into the ears of everyone in the tent:
"Do you know how many Wei troops there are in Wudang County?"
This question came from Mi Yang's mouth, and his tone was not stern, but it seemed a little angry.
When Mi Yang's question reached the ears of the generals in the tent, the generals who were still vying to fight immediately quieted down.
No matter how enthusiastic the emotions in their hearts were, they were not stupid, so they could naturally hear the anger in Mi Yang's words at this time.
Mi Yang's majesty at this time was not ordinarily deep, so after they realized that Mi Yang was angry, they stopped saying nothing and bowed down towards Mi Yang.
In the midst of a question that calmed the generals, the look on Mi Yang's face did not improve, and he asked the generals standing in the tent:
"Do you know how many city guards there are in Wudang County?"
"Do you know how much grain there is in Wudang County?"
"Do you know the past record of Wudang Guard's full favor?"
After Mi Yang asked the first question, he asked three more questions in a row to the generals in the tent.
At this time, the coldness in Mi Yang's words was no longer hidden.
This kind of coldness made Mi Yang bend a little more every time Mi Yang asked a question.
The coldness in Mi Yang's words seemed to make the temperature in the entire military tent drop by a few degrees, and it made the hearts of the generals in the tent more and more uneasy.
After Mi Yang finished asking, he was not surprised to see that none of the generals in the account could answer his question.
Because they all came to the outside of Wudang County quickly after defeating tens of thousands of Wei troops.
The only people who could have come into contact with Wei prisoners were Feng Xi and Deng Ai.
How could other people know about the situation in Wudang County without the capture of the Wei army.
But that's what made Mi Yang angry.
Mi Yang looked at Zhang Bao, who was the first to ask for battle, he got up and came to Zhang Bao's side, and said to him, "Answer me." β
Mi Yang, who was standing in front of Zhang Bao, brought Zhang Bao a great sense of oppression.
Only then did Zhang Bao know how powerful he was now once Mi Yang became angry.

Mi Yang is his good friend, but he is now a proud celebrity.
It's just that in the face of Mi Yang's inquiry, Zhang Bao couldn't help but answer, and in the end he could only reply stubbornly:
"Bud, bud doesn't know."
After Zhang Bao answered him, Mi Yang looked at the other generals in the tent, and he asked them, "What about you?" β
Ding Feng, Zhang Wei, and Zhang Nan, who felt Mi Yang's gaze, could only answer truthfully in the end: "I don't know." β
After the generals replied to Mi Yang, Mi Yang reprimanded the generals in the tent: "You are all people who are familiar with the art of war, don't you know the four words "knowing yourself and knowing your enemy?" β
"Without finding out the enemy's military situation, they boasted about going to Haikou to ask for war, is this your way of serving the country?"
Mi Yang's two consecutive questions made the faces of the generals appear ashamed.
Only now did they realize what a mistake they had just made.
Maybe the morale of the Han army is high now, or maybe there are not many Wei troops in Wudang County now, but no matter what, they should not rush to fight without knowing the enemy's situation.
This is the most intuitive manifestation of arrogance.
And once the generals are arrogant, how good can the soldiers they lead be?
Even if it was Mi Yang, the reason why he wanted to attack Wudang was because he had learned from Meng Da's mouth that Wudang County was in a weak state after Cao Ren's army set out.
After reprimanding the generals, Mi Yang said to the generals in the tent:
"Each person should write down thirty military sticks, and when the battle is over, they will be punished."
As soon as Mi Yang's punishment came out, the faces of the generals who invited the war all showed a look of sorrow.
It hurts to hit the body with a military stick.
But in the face of Mi Yang's punishment, the generals had no objections in their hearts.
They obediently took the order and returned to their seats.
After the generals returned to their seats, Mi Yang ordered several captured Wei officers to be escorted in.
Then Mi Yang asked the officers of the Wei army to tell the generals present all the military information in Wudang County that they knew.
Under the narration of several Wei army officers, the generals in the tent had some understanding of the situation in Wudang County.
Cao Ren took most of the large armies in Wudang County out when he set out on the expedition, leaving only more than 3,000 people led by Man Zhong to garrison Wudang County.
This was good news for the Han army.
But then, as several Wei generals continued to narrate, some solemn expressions appeared on the faces of the generals present.
According to the Wei army officers, although there are not many soldiers in Wudang County, there are tens of thousands of civilians.
And it has a great prestige in Wudang County.
Under such circumstances, it was not difficult for Man Favor to use his prestige to mobilize thousands of people to help defend the city.
In addition, Wudang County is an important border town, and the grain, grass, and tools for defending the city in the city are very complete.
After roughly letting the generals in the military tent understand the situation in Wudang County, Mi Yang asked these Wei army officers to be escorted down.
Then he looked at the generals in the tent and asked, "What do you suggest if the enemy situation is like this?" β
When Mi Yang's words came out, Zhang Bao and the other generals didn't dare to speak rashly because they had just been punished, only Deng Ai bowed to Mi Yang and said:

"General, Cao Ren Daxu is available."
After hearing Deng Ai's advice, the eyes of the generals in the tent lit up.
Even Mi Yang cast an approving look at Deng Ai: it is worthy of his intimate little padded jacket.
Man Zhong had been guarding the city walls, and under his observation, he found that most of the Han army had been moved from the warships to the large camp outside the city.
Man Zhong knew that the time for the Han army to launch an attack was not far off.
He thought that reinforcements would arrive in a few days at the earliest, and under the crisis, his favored brain began to stir rapidly.
After thinking about it for a long time, Man Pet came up with a plan to delay the army.
He ordered a pen and paper to be fetched, and then he wrote a letter on the city wall.
This letterhead was written by Man Pet to Mi Yang, and Man Pet wrote in the letter:
"General Tianwei, shaking Wudang, I have no intention of fighting now. However, according to the Wei law, those who have been surrounded for a month and cannot be saved, although they have fallen, their homes will not sit.
So far yesterday, it has been two days. Most of the elite soldiers in Nanyang rode out with the chariots, and it was difficult to have reinforcements within a month.
There are thousands of soldiers in Wudang City, although they are afraid of the general's heavenly might, but Wei Law is strict, and they care about their families, and they are afraid that they will die in battle!
The siege of the city is sinister, and I am afraid that your army will suffer heavy casualties, so why don't the generals take a break from the army and raise the troops, so as to achieve full success?
Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, and I hope the general will think about it. Now believe in my seal. β
After writing this letter, Man Chong immediately recruited a cronie.
He handed him the letter and his seal, and then he whispered to the crony, and let him sit down on the basket and slowly fall down to the city.
Man Zhong stood on the city wall and watched his cronies land and quickly walked towards the Han army camp, and a glimmer of hope sounded in his heart.
I hope Mi Yang can be successful.
I saw that some readers asked the group, and the group number was in the introduction of the book.
