The corners of Mi Yang's mouth showed a wry smile, not just because Zhang Liao refused to fight, but because Zhang Liao's refusal to go to war would lead to a dilemma that was very unfavorable to the Han army.

Such a dilemma was often encountered by Zhuge Liang during the Northern Expedition in history.

That is, the current Han army is unable to fight a protracted war.

At present, the two states of Jingyi owned by the Han Dynasty seem to be very large from the map, and there are not a few counties under their jurisdiction.

However, the four counties of Jingnan in Jingzhou and the four counties of Nanzhong in Yizhou are mostly backward areas with a very poor degree of development.

Not to mention how much national strength these eight counties can contribute to the battle of Fancheng, they are already thankful that they don't lag behind and need the imperial court to feed back.

Taken together, these eight counties already occupy half of the territory of the two prefectures.

At present, Shu County, the most prosperous county in Jingyi and Yizhou, is just an ordinary county when compared with the counties of the Central Plains and Hebei.

Under such a large gap in national strength, Zhang Liao, who can get a steady stream of Cao Wei's national power, as long as he doesn't let go of some fatal mistakes, he can take 30,000 Cao Wei's Chinese army and spend a year easily with the Han army outside Yancheng.

For the Han army outside Fancheng, it doesn't even take a year, and the Han army outside Fancheng will retire in half a year at most.

Because at present, the Han army outside Fancheng has reached 60,000 people, and the 60,000 army consumes at least 60,000 stone of grain and grass a month.

If it weren't for the good harvest in Jingzhou this year, and Mi Yang captured a large amount of corn by taking Wudang, it is likely that the Han army would have had no choice but to withdraw in three months.

The combat effectiveness of the Wei army is already strong, and with the city behind him, in the case of tens of thousands of Wei troops camping to defend themselves, it does not mean that the Han army must have nothing to do with them.

No matter how strong the fortress is, no matter how good the enemy is, there is a way to slowly consume it.

It's just a matter of time.

But the big man who is not strong in national strength is what he lacks now is time.

Therefore, on the first day that Zhang Liao's army arrived in Yancheng, Guan Yu signaled Zhang Fei to go to the camp to scold and lead the enemy.

It's not that Guan Yu is anxious to make meritorious contributions, it's just that as a commander, he knows very well where the biggest weakness of the Han army is.

In the face of this dilemma, either the Han army could obtain a large amount of grain and grass in a short time, or it was necessary to provoke the Cao Wei army led by Zhang Liao to fight a decisive battle with them as soon as possible.

But obviously, it can be seen from Zhang Fei's futile return today that Zhang Liao is determined not to engage the Han army.

Zhang Liao just wanted to rely on Cao Wei's strong national strength to consume the 60,000 Han troops outside Fancheng.

Just like Sima Yi in history.

And Zhuge Liang, who has achieved great strategic and tactical thinking in history, has not come up with a good way in the face of the old thief Sima who is like a turtle, what can he do for a while?

After the people in the big tent saw a wry smile on the corner of Mi Yang's mouth, a contemplative look appeared on their faces, and the expectation in their eyes decreased.

It's just that everyone is relieved when they think about it.

Although Mi Yang was famous for his good plans in the past, no matter how good Mi Yang was, no matter how good he was, it was inevitable that he would not come up with a good plan in a hurry.

Guan Yu saw that Mi Yang was immersed in contemplation, and he didn't want to urge him too much.

So he turned to the other ministers present and began to discuss other military affairs.

Although Guan Yu really wanted Mi Yang to come up with a plan for him and force Zhang Liao to come out to fight him, a good strategy takes time to ponder.

And in the time given to Mi Yang to think about the strategy, Guan Yu thought about discussing other affairs with other ministers first.

At present, in this military tent, in addition to the three heavy generals Guan, Zhang, and Mi, there are several ministers with high status.

And most of these ministers were brought by Liu Bei from Yizhou to counsel the military aircraft.

When Liu Bei went to Xiangyang a few days ago, he specially left these ministers in the big tent and asked them to plan for Guan Yu.

While Guan Yu was discussing military affairs with these ministers, one of them reminded Guan Yu to be careful of the Wei army's escort attack.

This name is big

The minister was Huang Quan, who had just been worshiped by Liu Bei as the general of the expedition to the west.

Huang Quan was worshiped by Liu Bei as the general of the expedition to the west, in addition to Liu Bei because of Huang Quan's prestige in Yizhou, he wanted to stabilize the hearts of the people in Yizhou by rewarding him, but also because Liu Bei was grateful to Huang Quan for his advice.

"Break Du Hao, Pu Hu, kill Xiahou Yuan, according to Hanzhong, all have the right to conspire."

During the First World War in Hanzhong, the world learned about Fazheng's strategy through that war.

But many people ignore that under Liu Bei's account, it was Huang Quan who first proposed to Liu Bei to occupy Hanzhong.

Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang were the biggest contributors to Liu Bei's victory in the Battle of Hanzhong, but Huang Quan's contribution in that battle cannot be ignored.

When Huang Quan talked about Du Raid, he informed everyone present in detail of the importance of Du Raid's position as a protector.

Under Huang Quan's narration, everyone knew that the position of protector held by Du Xi was such an important position.

In fact, it is not surprising that Guan Yu and others do not know much about the position of Cao Wei's protector, because although the position of protector was established by Cao Cao to supervise generals with different surnames, the position of protector rarely appears in the frontier.

[In view of the general environment,

The reason is very simple, when Cao Cao was alive, the frontier areas were guarded by clan relatives as the main generals, and where there was a need for any protectors.

The "protectors" of the Cao clan are usually called military advisors, and they are purely used to counsel military aircraft.

And the transmission of news in the world was quite closed, so even if Guan Yu had guarded Jingzhou for several years, although he knew the position of the protector, he did not know very well that the protector served by Du Xi could sometimes have so much power.

The reason why Huang Quan knew this was that after Xiahou Yuan died in the Battle of Hanzhong that year, and Zhang He was promoted to the temporary commander of the Wei army, Du Xi took the position of Zhang He's protector.

As for the "second-in-command" of the enemy who is close at a short distance, Huang Quan will of course send a detailed investigation to investigate.

When Huang Quan reminded him of this, although Guan Yu and the others had a cautious look on their faces, they didn't care too much.

And when Mi Yang on the side heard this, a trace of joy appeared on his face.

Although Mi Yang had been thinking about a good plan just now, his thoughts were not all on that.

According to Huang Quan's introduction, Cao Wei's position as a military protector was similar to the position of a military supervisor in later generations.

Now Du Xi is essentially an eyeliner that Cao Pi planted next to Zhang Liao, and this eyeliner can "set things right" when necessary.

After learning this, some of Mi Yang's thoughts instantly became clear.

Mi Yang immediately got up and asked Huang Quan, "Gong Heng, how about Du Xian?"

Guan Yu and the others, who were still discussing military affairs, couldn't help but feel a little curious when they saw Mi Yang suddenly recover from his contemplation, and then got up and asked Huang Quan such a question.

Could it be that Mi Yang has a plan in his heart?

And Huang Quan saw Mi Yang ask him how to attack this person, although Huang Quan didn't understand Mi Yang's intentions for a while, he still replied:

"Du Zheng is quite wise and strategic, and Cao Cao was very important to him when he was alive, and he was ordered to supervise the military of Guanzhong and Hanzhong."

After hearing Huang Quan say this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mi Yang's eyes - it seemed that there was no way to make a fuss about Du Xi.

But his disappointment was fleeting, because he couldn't plan an attack, so wasn't there another Cao Pi.

After getting Huang Quan's answer, Mi Yang immediately turned to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the main seat and said:

"There is Du Raid by Zhang Liao's side, and the lord of the 30,000 Wei army is actually Cao Piye."

Although Mi Yang's words were said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the people in the tent heard it.

After hearing Mi Yang say this, the faces of everyone in the tent showed a look of contemplation.

Then among the people in the big tent, Guan Yu and Huang Quan were the first to show joy on their faces.

With a smile on his face, Guan Yu looked at Mi Yang and stroked his beard and asked, "Zicheng means that I can use Cao Pi to lure the thief army into battle

？」

Seeing that Guan Yu understood his thoughts, Mi Yang also smiled and bowed and replied, "Yes."

"The position of the protector of the anti-Wei army may prevent Cao Pi's military power from falling, but there are pros and cons to everything, which also makes Zhang Liao constrained."

"Maybe Zhang Liao is a wise and brave general, and he doesn't fall for our army's plan to lure the enemy, but what about Cao Pi?"

Guan Yu's inquiry and Mi Yang's explanation made everyone in the big tent understand Mi Yang's thoughts at once.

Zhang Fei's strategy is not bad, the reason why he can't succeed is because the opponent's master will be a wise and brave general like Zhang Liao.

But what if Zhang Fei's idea of humiliating and agitating generals is applied to Cao Pi?

Let's not talk about Cao Pi's resourcefulness, just say that Cao Pi's identity is not ordinary with Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao is at most a general, and he is also a general, so he may be able to spit on himself in the face of humiliation, but Cao Pi is Cao Wei's son of heaven.

As the Son of Heaven of a country, if he is wantonly humiliated by the enemy's generals, if he does not react, he will lose his prestige as the Son of Heaven.

It will even have a very bad impact on the morale of the military and the people of the newly established Cao Wei country.

Didn't Cao Wei always boast of being a Chinese Zhengshuo and looked down on the barbarian country in the south?

As a result, now the barbarian country has come to the door, and Cao Pi, who is the son of China Zhengshuo, is wantonly humiliated.

If the so-called Huaxia Zhengshuo Tianzi does not react, then the newly established Cao Wei will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of the world.

From this aspect alone, Cao Pi will definitely not be indifferent.

Moreover, with Cao Pi's cautious and face-loving character, if the Han army did something to humiliate him, he would probably be tempted to send troops.

Referring to Cao Pi, who was wantonly played by Sun Quan in history, after learning the truth, in the years of his reign, he beat Sun Quan when he had nothing to do, and completely treated Jia Xu and Liu Ye's advice as fart.

And the most important thing is that the Han army wants to humiliate Cao Pi, and under the current situation, there is a way to achieve it.

Because now Cao Pi is in Wancheng!

Who told him to be fine, learn from Cao Cao's personal expedition.

Zhang Fei, who is a general who will play the method of excitement, got up from his seat happily after hearing Mi Yang's advice.

Before Zhang Fei came to Mi Yang, he slapped Mi Yang's shoulder a few times with his broad palm, and Zhang Fei's few pats on the shoulder almost made Mi Yang cry out in pain.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei saw the discomfort on Mi Yang's face in time, and then he stopped patting his shoulder and said to Mi Yang with a smile: "You kid, you have my demeanor."

Zhang Fei is now looking at Mi Yang completely with the eyes of people in the same way.

The flyway is not alone!

And at this moment, the faces of the other people in the big tent also appeared with joy.

Mi Yang's idea may not necessarily succeed, but at least it has come up with a new way out for the Han army, which is currently in a predicament.

Just happy to be happy, Huang Quan, who was present, still asked Mi Yang, "What method is General Zuo going to use to provoke Cao Pi?"

Huang Quan's words asked the same question in everyone's hearts at this time.

Cao Pi is currently in Wancheng, not outside Yancheng, so naturally Zhang Fei's method of "Lingyou humiliation" cannot be used.

So what methods should the Han army use to humiliate and provoke Cao Pi?

Faced with Huang Quan's question, Mi Yang already had a plan in his heart.

Now that Cao Pi has experienced the case of being deceived by Meng Da, his psychological tolerance should have improved to a certain extent, so I am afraid that ordinary methods will not succeed in provoking him.

But there is a way that is inevitable.

"You can send a team of light horsemen to patrol Nanyang, and every time the light horsemen patrol a place, they will shout the words "thieves are afraid of men like tigers" and "it is really a woman's behavior."

"Then I ordered people to spread the news everywhere, saying that our army had sent a women's dress to Wancheng."

"There is no need to let Cao Pi receive this gift, as long as the officials of the entire Nanyang County know about it."

When Mi Yang finished talking about this method

, Everyone in the big tent was stunned at first, and then a hearty burst of laughter broke out directly in the big tent.

Even Huang Quan, who has always been unsmiling, couldn't help but laugh and began to laugh.

It's not that they laugh low, it's that they feel extremely happy when they think of Cao Pi's expression after knowing the news.

After laughing, everyone in the big tent looked at Mi Yang with appreciative eyes.

This son is really the nemesis of the Cao family.

...

Just when the generals were discussing the forced Wei army to fight, a small fleet was sailing quickly on the Han River not far away.

On the building ship in one of the small fleets, Guan Yan, who was pregnant for several months, came to the deck of the building ship to breathe with her belly in her hands.

The maid beside her saw Guan Yan like this, and hurriedly followed worriedly and waited carefully from left to right.

Guan Yan saw the maid's performance, and some smiles appeared on her face.

As Guan Yu's daughter, she has learned some martial arts since she was a child, and her body is not delicate, so there is no need to be so careful.

It's just that Guan Yan also knew that the maid cared about her, so she didn't say anything.

She just stood by the female wall, looking in the direction of Fancheng.

Looking in that direction, Guan Yan's eyes showed a warm look.

There, two of the most important men in her life were waiting for her.

And after staring in that direction for a long time, Guan Yan unconsciously looked at a building ship in front of her.

Because the distance was not far, Guan Yan could clearly see the sergeant in charge of guarding the ship.

The appearance of those sergeants was different from that of ordinary Han Chinese, and judging by their attire, they looked a bit like the legendary aliens.

Guan Yan raised her head and looked at the flag flying high on the ship, and there was a contemplative look in her eyes.

The flag that hung high above was written with these words.

"Han Hussar General Horse".

At present, the four heavy generals of the Han Dynasty are about to gather outside Fancheng, is the sky in Nanyang about to change?
