After reading the contents of the letter, Mi Yang asked Ma Liang's envoy to step back first.

And Wang Hong saw that after reading the letter, a heavy look appeared on Mi Yang's face, and out of the mood of solving problems for the Lord, Wang Hong asked Mi Yang what happened.

Wang Hong was his first confidant, but in the face of Wang Hong's inquiry, Mi Yang did not tell him the truth.

The stakes are high, and the concerns of Maleonn in the letter are now just speculation.

Wang Hong saw that Mi Yang ignored his inquiry, and he also closed his mouth with interest.

Since Mi Yang didn't want to say it, he naturally couldn't ask again.

Wang Hong saw that Mi Yang had no interest in discussing affairs, so he slowly retreated from the lobby.

When Wang Hong retreated, only Mi Yang was left in the lobby.

Under the influence of Ma Liang's letter, Mi Yang's mood was a little irritable at this time.

Mi Yang kept pacing in the lobby.

According to Ma Liang's ability and character, since he will write this letter to himself, he must have found some clues from his daily interactions with Guan Yu.

At present, Mi Yang's identity is the general with the highest status and power in the northern Han Dynasty except for Guan Yu.

If Guan Yu's health is really as bad as Ma Liang's letter speculated, then Ma Liang is taking precautions by writing this letter to Mi Yang today.

And in addition to Mi Yang's official status, Mi Yang is still Guan Yu's son-in-law in his private identity and Guan Yu's former official.

In this case, Mi Yang's relationship with Guan Yu is very close.

wanted to come to Ma Liang to write a letter to inform him of this, in addition to taking precautions, Ma Liang still wanted to let him take advantage of his intimate relationship with Guan Yu and persuade Guan Yu more.

It's just that although he was reminded by Ma Liang's letter, there wasn't much Mi Yang could do next.

Because Ma Liang only speculated about Guan Yu's physical condition in the letter, he was not sure whether Guan Yu's current condition was serious or mild.

The current Mi Yang is not the son of Nanjun Taishou at the beginning, and with his current status, every move he makes will cause a lot of waves.

Especially now that the 100,000 Wei army is in Nanyang County!

At the moment of the great enemy, the morale of the army is the most important.

In the case that he is not sure what Guan Yu's physical condition is, the most Mi Yang can do is to write a letter of condolences to Guan Yu as an official or son-in-law.

And without Liu Bei or Guan Yu's orders, Mi Yang could not leave the jurisdiction.

But if it was to write a letter of condolences to Guan Yu, Mi Yang felt that it would not have any effect.

Guan Yu's personality Mi Yang is quite well understood.

With Guan Yu's single-minded and proud character, unless he really realized that his body could no longer fight, he would not easily retreat.

But when it really gets there, it's too late.

This dilemma made Mi Yang pace faster and faster.

The situation he is facing now has never been recorded in the history books, so Mi Yang cannot find reference answers from the experience in history.

Mi Yang can only rely on his own wit now.

While pacing, Mi Yang's gaze swept to the edict of the Son of Heaven that had just been delivered on his seat.

The authorities are fascinated, the authorities are fascinated!

The second master is the second master after all, isn't there still an uncle?

After realizing this, Mi Yang immediately returned to his seat and sat down, then quickly unfolded the silk book and wrote a secret letter.

After writing this secret recital, Mi Yang summoned a messenger and asked him to quickly send this secret letter to Hanzhong.

And after doing this, Mi Yang beat the drum and recruited a group of Han generals.

There is only a limit to what he can do at the moment, but it is better than doing nothing.

During this period of time, because of the planning of Mi Yang and Guan Yu, coupled with the monarch's order, Mi Yang has been deploying his troops around Wudang County, focusing on defense.

It's just that now that the situation may change somewhat, Mi Yang must change the battle plan.

If you don't keep it, the champion Hou is going to fight the champion county!

...

In November of the first year of Han Zhangwu, a month had passed since Guan Yu's army surrounded Fancheng.

As the month enters November, temperatures drop sharply across Jingzhou.

The atmosphere of cold winter has gradually permeated the entire land of Jingzhou.

And in this month, Cao Pi, the son of Cao Wei, finally waited for Zhang Liao, the general he had in mind, in Wancheng.

When Cao Cao was alive, there was a rumor in Cao Wei's army that there was a saying of "five good generals".

This statement praises five generals with different surnames who followed Cao Cao to fight everywhere and made great achievements.

In all fairness, in terms of military exploits alone, some of these five generals with different surnames are above Cao Ren's military exploits, and Xiahoudun cannot be compared with them.

It's just that because they have different surnames, the identities and status of these five generals are far from being compared with the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

These five prestigious generals with different surnames have either died or rebelled in the past two years, and only Zhang Liao and Zhang He are left.

With the death of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, there is no doubt that Zhang Liao is the first person in the current Cao Wei military in terms of military exploits and prestige.

Because of his great military exploits, Zhang Liao was already a general of Zhengdong when Cao Cao was alive.

After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, Cao Pi's reward for Zhang Liao was extremely rich.

After Cao Cao Hanshui withdrew his troops, he did not let Zhang Liao go back to Hefei.

He entrusted the important task of guarding Hefei to Xiahoudun, and Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao to lead the army to garrison Chenjun.

Perhaps at that time, Cao Cao had already expected that his time was running out, so he let Zhang Liao lead the army to garrison the Central Plains, laying a solid foundation for Cao Pi to stabilize the Central Plains when he took over.

When Cao Pi ascended the throne of Wei, Zhang Liao was transferred to the former general, and Cao Pi divided his brother Zhang Xun and a son Liehou.

At the same time, Cao Pi gave Zhang Liao as many as 1,000 horses of silk and as many as 10,000 grains.

Soon, after Xiahou died of illness, Cao Pi entered the jue Zhang Liao as the marquis of the capital.

Cao Pi also gave his mother a chariot as a sign of honor, and sent soldiers and horses to send his family to his garrison.

He also sent guides to post notices in various places in advance, announcing that Zhang Liao's family was about to arrive, and guiding everyone to go out to greet them.

The officers and non-commissioned officers of Zhang Liao's "supervised armies" were lined up on both sides of the road to greet Zhang Liao's family.

This is undoubtedly a very glorious thing.

After Cao Pi became the emperor, he named Zhang Liao as the Marquis of Jinyang, increasing the number of households by 1,000 and the first 2,600 households.

Cao Pi once personally summoned Zhang Liao to the Luoyang Imperial Palace to worship, Cao Pi and Zhang Liao met in the Jianshi Palace, and asked him about the situation when he broke Wu in the past.

After Zhang Liao said this, Cao Pi sighed left and right, "It's just an ancient summoning tiger."

So, Cao Pi ordered the construction of a house for Zhang Liao and a palace for his mother.

The foot soldiers who followed Zhang Liao to break through the Wu army front and rushed straight to Sun Quanshuai's banner were all named tigers.

It can be said that when it comes to rewarding Zhang Liao, Cao Pi can be said to have spared no effort.

The degree of trust in generals with different surnames is very different from Cao Cao.

And the most important thing is that Zhang Liao's reward and favor have been increasing since the death of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, two clan generals.

This also means that invisibly, Cao Wei's military pattern is undergoing a far-reaching reshuffle.

Zhang Liao's ability and military exploits are obvious to all in Cao Wei, and if Zhang Liao's surname is Cao, he must be the first general of Great Wei.

When Zhang Liao arrived in Wancheng, Cao Pi expressed great favor to Zhang Liao as always.

Cao Pi personally took the Son of Heaven and let Zhang Liao, who arrived in Wancheng, ride with him and enter Wancheng.

While entering Wancheng, Cao Pi also asked the confessor to stand outside the car of the Son of Heaven, and read out his new round of reward for Zhang Liao aloud along the way.

"Jin Zhang Liao is the general of Wei, and he has increased the number of households in the Marquis of Jin Yang by 1,000, and the total number of households in the past is 3,600!"

How far Cao Pi's Son of Heaven drove away, the voice of the confessor was heard

Far.

And the people of Wancheng and Cao Wei and the ministers who knelt on both sides of the street, after seeing Cao Pi so kind to Zhang Liao, their faces showed very envious looks.

After today, Zhang Liao's identity as the first minister with a foreign surname has been doubted.

And Zhang Liao faced Cao Pi's great favor, and he also expressed his sincere fear.

But Cao Pi, who is proficient in the art of imperial power, is so kind to Zhang Liao, in addition to the fact that he really admires Zhang Liao, but also because he has something to ask for Zhang Liao.

When Cao Pi and Zhang Liao came to the lobby of the General Cavalry Mansion in Wancheng, a group of Cao Wei ministers lined up on both sides, and Cao Pi didn't talk too much nonsense.

He directly pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven and pointed to the location of the Wudang on the map hanging high behind him.

Cao Pi used the sharp tip of his sword to draw a circle where Wudang was, as if marking someone, and then he turned to look at Zhang Liaoyan and said:

"How many troops does Zhang Qing want, can I break through the thieves!"

Cao Pi's words revealed a deep hatred for Mi Yang.

Not long ago, Cao Pi got the news that Mi Yang suddenly led tens of thousands of troops from Wudang and swaggered towards Champion County.

Before Mi Yang led the army to garrison in Wudang County, Cao Pi could still follow Jia Xu's advice and temporarily turn a blind eye to Mi Yang.

Now Mi Yang dared to take the initiative to lead the army out to die, and when the soldiers and horses of the Great Wei were gathering more and more, Cao Pi could no longer hide the hatred for Mi Yang in his heart.

For this enemy who slammed his face on the ground, Cao Pi felt that if he tolerated it any longer, then he would not even be embarrassed to use the ancestral temple number in the future.

So on the first day of Zhang Liao's arrival, Cao Pi couldn't wait to ask Zhang Liao how many troops he needed to break through Miyang.

In Cao Pi's mind, Zhang Liao has this ability, and what he has to do is to pay as much cooperation as he wants, so that Zhang Liao can maximize his ability.

After hearing Cao Pi's inquiry, Zhang Liao, who had a resolute face, did not hesitate for a minute in the face of Cao Pi's hopeful gaze.

Zhang Liao bowed to Cao Pi and said:

"The morale of the thief army is high, and if you want to defeat it, you need 30,000 Chinese troops."

Long before Zhang Liao arrived in Wancheng, he knew that the current army in Mi Yang's hands was no more than 30,000, so Zhang Liao actually gave the number of troops he needed.

The number of soldiers and horses that Zhang Liao wants is not much, but the attributes of the soldiers and horses he wants are a little intriguing.

After Zhang Liao truthfully said his request, not only Cao Pi's eyes narrowed, but also the ministers of Cao Wei present looked sideways.

The old turtle Jia Xu closed his eyes directly, pretending that he didn't hear what Zhang Liao said just now.

Zhang Liao really dares to ask for it.

The prototype of the Great Wei Chinese Army is the pro-army of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, and for decades, the Great Wei Chinese Army followed Cao Cao's southern expedition to the north and made great achievements.

In the current land of China, the Great Wei Chinese Army can be said to be one of the most elite troops in the world.

Countless honors, countless military exploits, and Cao Cao's original intention of establishing this Chinese army made the status of the Chinese army of Great Wei very special.

The Great Wei Zhongjun is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Wei State.

It's not that no one has commanded part of the Chinese army, but those ministers are all from the surnames Cao and Xiahou.

Now Zhang Liao asked Cao Pi for the command of the 30,000 Chinese army as soon as he came, which was a very bold and sensitive move.

But in the face of Zhang Liao's request, Cao Pi immediately showed a smile on his face after his eyes were fixed.

With this courage, it is his Great Wei's summoning tiger, and with this courage, it is possible to defeat Mi Yang.

Cao Pi's level of trust in a different surname was completely different from Cao Cao's.

Since he wants to use Zhang Liao to break the Mi Yang Department today, then of course he must meet all the conditions of Zhang Liao.

Cao Pi swung his sword into the sheath, and in front of a group of civil and military ministers, he said to Zhang Liaoyan:

"Yes, I'll give you!"

When Cao Pi's words came out, the faces of all the ministers present showed surprise.

The Son of Heaven unexpectedly

And really give!

But after Cao Pi said this, he promised Zhang Liao again: "If Qing can return victoriously, this Che Cavalry General's Mansion at my feet will be renamed General Wei's Mansion."

Cao Pi's words made Zhang Liao, who was still calm, raise his head suddenly, and he looked at Cao Pi with a somewhat incredulous gaze.

Obviously, Cao Pi's words deeply touched Zhang Liao, so that he, a veteran who has gone through countless lives and deaths, cannot remain calm.

At present, the general of the chariot cavalry where Cao Wei Junchen is located is owned by Cao Ren.

When Cao Ren was alive as a chariot general, he was a super feudal minister who supervised the military affairs of Jing, Yi, and Yang.

And Cao Pi said that if Zhang Liao wins, he will give him this chariot general's mansion, since the mansion is given to Zhang Liao, it is natural to leave him in Wancheng.

Thinking more deeply, Cao Pi's move was obviously a signal to let Zhang Liao supervise Jingzhou's military.

In the history of Cao Wei, there has never been a precedent for a general with a different surname, in essence, to supervise the military of one side.

So when Cao Pi released this signal, even Zhang Liao couldn't settle it, let alone the other ministers present.

At this moment, the ministers present realized that with the death of Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, and with the increasing power of Liu Bei in the south, Cao Wei's political pattern was about to undergo a drastic change.

Cao's father and son are both pragmatists.

Faced with the temptation thrown by Cao Pi, Zhang Liao excitedly bowed to Cao Pi and said:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will die!"

...

Everything that happened in Wancheng has not yet reached Fancheng.

The 20,000 Wei cavalry troops wandering along the river outside Fancheng continued their usual tasks as always.

Previously, Cao Tai led more than 10,000 cavalry troops to attack the Han army's grain route, which brought a lot of trouble to the Han army.

The helpless appearance of the Han army's infantry in the face of the attack of the Wei cavalry has become a joke that tens of thousands of Wei army cavalry have been talking about for some time ago.

Seeing that the Han army, which had won many battles before and had high morale, was exhausted and embarrassed by their attacks, this undoubtedly made the hearts of the tens of thousands of Wei cavalry soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Cao Tai, who was bent on avenging his father, felt that the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for days had dissipated a lot.

The enemy is the Han army led by Guan Yu, who is mighty in China!

In a sense, Cao Tai thought that this could be regarded as a small victory for the Han army.

So when Cao Tai sent the news to Cao Pi, Cao Pi also felt very relieved in his heart.

Relieved, Cao Pi, who was in a good mood, immediately allocated another 10,000 cavalry troops to the south and returned them to Cao Tai's command.

Cao Pi's idea is very simple, since this method is effective, it is natural to increase the chips and continue to use it.

Just today, when some Wei cavalry troops were patrolling the shores of the Han River as usual, the Han warships that appeared on the Han River made them roar excitedly.

They thought it was another day of harvest.

But today is a good day of harvest, as for which side of the harvest is not certain.

The joint battle of the traverser and the world's famous generals will start today!
