"Keeping the enemy out of the country?"

Ma Chao, who is a general, suddenly understood Mi Yang's intention after carefully pondering this sentence.

If you want to keep the enemy out of the country, how can you let the enemy enter the customs, and how can you abandon the city and escape?

After understanding the strategy that Mi Yang was going to take, a heavy look of hesitation appeared on Ma Chao's face.

He knew that the man sitting in front of him was the most prestigious general in the world.

Mi Yang's prestige has already allowed him to cross the boundaries of generations, look at each other equally, and even be proud of any military general in the world.

But despite Mi Yang's deep prestige, Ma Chao still unconsciously felt puzzled by the strategy Mi Yang wanted to take.

Your own strength is far weaker than the enemy's army, how can you adopt the strategy of holding on everywhere?

It's just that although there was hesitation in his heart, Ma Chao did not open his mouth to dissuade Mi Yang.

After all, Ma Chao still cares a lot about his sensitive and embarrassing identity, he is not Mi Yang's henchman, so he is bound to not be able to speak freely when he does many things.

But Mi Yang, who is good at observing words and feelings, can see the doubts in his heart from Ma Chao's face.

After perceiving this, Mi Yang reached out and took out a notebook from his arms.

He handed the notebook in his hand to Ma Chao and motioned for him to unfold it.

At Mi Yang's suggestion, although Ma Chao hesitated, he still took the recital and unfolded it.

When his eyes touched the first sentence in the notebook, Ma Chao's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Today's strength is not enough to resist the enemy, listen to the two cities of Han and Le, and enter in case of thieves, and the Yizhou reinforcements are enough to be saved."

Just looking at this sentence, Ma Chao knew that the person who wrote this recital offered Mi Yang the same strategy as he thought.

And after Ma Chao finished reading all the contents in the book, Mi Yang avoided half of his body again, so that Ma Chao's eyes could pass over his body and come to the bookcase behind him.

At this moment, on top of the bookcase, there is a backlog of notebooks like a hill.

After the spread of "Vashu Wen" in Hanzhong, it caused a panic inside and outside Hanzhong.

In a panic, hundreds of officials from the county and state governments all wrote to me to explain their strategies for dealing with the enemy.

Hussar general, do you know that most of the strategies expounded in those hundreds of books to deal with the enemy are basically the same as what you just talked about? ”

Hearing Mi Yang say this, Ma Chao's expression became even more hesitant.

Among the hundreds of subordinate officials who wrote to the book, there must be Mi Yang's henchmen.

He might have thought just now that Mi Yang didn't adopt his strategy because he didn't trust him.

But now it seems that this suspicion in his mind is not true.

And the real fact may really be that keeping the enemy outside the country is the strategy that Mi Xuan really wants to adopt.

But how is this possible?

With the strategy that Mi Yang had shown before, how could he not understand that the strategy he had just offered was the best strategy for dealing with the enemy against Liangzhou at the moment?

Soon, Mi Yang's next sentence solved Ma Chao's confusion.

Mi Yang looked at Ma Chao fixedly, and said to Ma Chao in a sincere tone:

"The strategy of the hussar general, and my vassals, is indeed the best strategy for the current Liangzhou."

"But this strategy is a very poor strategy for the big man.

The defense system of Hanzhong today, Zhuzhen Fortress was built by my two mentors.

With the strategy of the two of them, wouldn't they know that if the thief army attacked Hanzhong in the coming day, it would mobilize a terrible force?

Today, Cao has millions of people, and he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and this sincerity cannot compete with it.

This sentence is a sentence that Cheng Cheng has been saying in the middle of his year.

And the prime minister's Longzhong pair came out more than ten years ago, and the Wei army for more than ten years was already difficult to compete in the world.

More than ten years later, the strength of the Wei army is bound to rise to a higher level, which is not only known to the prime minister and the Yihou, but also to the people of the world.

But since the prime minister and the Yihou knew this, why did they set up such a continuous defensive line in Hanzhong?

Don't they know that with the national strength of Hanzhong, and even with the national strength of the Great Han, it is an extremely disadvantageous thing to repeatedly tug at the enemy army on this continuous defensive line? ”

Mi Yang's explanations progressed layer by layer, and successfully made Ma Chao fall into contemplation.

Zhuge Liang was known for his strategic thinking, and Fa Zheng intimidated the Wei army with his sophistry tactics, and the Hanzhong defense system created by the two men would not ignore such an Achilles' heel.

But the two of them did it anyway, which shows that there is a reason why they have to do it.

And what is the reason for this?

"Those who seek for a while are not enough for a lifetime. Those who seek a corner are not enough to control the overall situation.

This is what His Majesty taught me back then, and I didn't have a deep understanding of the meaning of this sentence before, but now I gradually understand it.

The reason why the prime minister and the Yihou wanted to set up a continuous defensive line in Hanzhong back then was that they were both masters of the whole world.

The fish is at the juncture, which is really the door of Yizhou's blessing and misfortune.

Back then, after arranging the defensive line in Hanzhong, Yihou said such a sentence to the left and right.

The juncture (Yangping Pass) is not the life and death of Hanzhong, but the life and death of the entire Yizhou and even the entire Han Dynasty!

And the reason for this lies in the word human heart.

The hussar generals and my vassals took every aspect into consideration, but they ignored the crucial factor of people's hearts. ”

"If the strategy of the hussar general is adopted, for a period of time, Nanzheng will be worry-free, but the passes of Yinping, Qiaotou, and Yangping Pass will all fall into the hands of the enemy.

And after losing these places, what is the use of me holding a Nanzheng city?

The strength of the thief army is strong, and with their strong national strength, after they take the fortresses, they are enough to hold the fortresses as impregnable.

By that time, they had actually captured Hanzhong County.

The most important thing is that once the news of the loss of the Hanzhong fortresses reaches back to Yizhou and spreads to the world, then the hearts of the Han people will be violently shaken.

People's hearts are already changeable, and they are even more elusive under shocks, once they reach this point, maybe I can hold Nanzheng, but will there be no one in Yizhou to join the enemy? ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly understood what Mi Yang's concerns were.

And Mi Yang's concerns are exactly what actually happened in history.

The strategy proposed by Ma Chao is exactly the method adopted by Jiang Wei when he was guarding Hanzhong in history.

Tactically speaking, Ma Chao and Jiang Wei's strategies are not wrong, but they both ignore people's hearts.

In the last battle of Shu in history, a very key factor in the defeat of the Han army was that there were some traitors in the Han army.

But those traitors, did they think about surrendering in the first place?

Humans are the animals that weigh the pros and cons the most.

It is undeniable that during the Three Kingdoms period, there were many touching deeds of ideals, aspirations, and emotions that transcended interests, but the reason why those deeds were touching was that they were rare.

For most people in the world, they do not have too noble discipline, they are very direct, and the pursuit of the greatest profit is the creed of life, which is not immune to many celebrities.

Otherwise, Cao Wei, how could he be established.

And under this kind of human nature, what I am most afraid of is the four words that the general trend has gone.

In history, due to Jiang Wei's mistakes and Liu Chan's mediocrity, many strategic places in Hanzhong fell into the hands of the Wei army, and even the main force of Shuzhong retreated to the area of Sword Pavilion under the leadership of Jiang Wei.

In that case, Hanzhong had actually been declared to have fallen.

And Hanzhong is not an ordinary county, his strategic significance is extraordinary, Hanzhong is to protect Yizhou, is the gateway to protect the capital of the Han Dynasty!

When the gateway of the Han Dynasty was occupied by the enemy army, and when the natural danger of Hanzhong, which was originally relied on, disappeared without a trace in an instant, many people in Yizhou naturally felt that the general trend had gone.

It was this point that eventually led to the discouragement of the Chengdu army, which led to many people in Yizhou defecting to the enemy, which greatly accelerated the demise of Shu Han.

Some people may think that Liu Bei is still alive today, and Yizhou will not have the same changes in history in the future, but this idea is incorrect.

During the First Battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, besieged Fancheng, and trapped Cao Ren, the first general of Cao Wei, in Fancheng.

As a result, large-scale rebellions occurred in various parts of the Central Plains, and even Yecheng, which was the capital of the Wei king.

You must know that Cao Cao did not die at that time, he led 100,000 elite Wei troops in Luoyang.

Could it be that Cao Cao's prestige in the Central Plains would not be as good as Liu Bei's prestige in Yizhou?

And compared to Cao Cao's 100,000 troops that were still unused, everyone today knows that Yizhou has no main force.

This difference is likely to plunge Yizhou into turmoil after the fall of Hanzhong.

Needless to say, Yizhou rebelled everywhere, as long as there was a pass in Yizhou where the guards surrendered to the enemy, the chain reaction caused by it would be fatal to the Han.

This is the significance of Hanzhong to Yizhou and to the Han Dynasty.

Ma Chao is not a stupid person, he understood Mi Yang's biggest concern under Mi Yang's reminder.

Ma Chao couldn't imagine how bad the situation in Yizhou would be when Hanzhong was lost on a large scale, and the first place in the Han Dynasty would be besieged by the Wei army in Nanzheng.

"After the death of the general last year, many ministers of the DPRK and China suggested that I take over as the pastor of Jingzhou, but His Majesty was dictatorial and set up Liangzhou and made me the pastor of Liangzhou.

This is the trust that His Majesty has placed in me.

Before Guanzhong was recovered, Hanzhong, as the gateway to Yizhou, actually guarded the hearts of the people of Yizhou.

Your Majesty believes in me, no matter how critical the situation may be one day, with my talents, I will always help him to guard this strange heart.

Your Majesty's trust makes me grateful, but it also makes me shoulder a heavy responsibility.

If there is no such mission in Hanzhong, then I will definitely adopt the strategy of a hussar general, and even more in some aspects.

But this kind of strategy is excellent for me and for Nan Zheng, but it may put Dahan in a place of no return, then I will never adopt it.

Even if the path I choose is difficult, I will never be a sinner for the ages. ”

Mi Yang's words were loud, and every word he said struck on Ma Chao's heart like a morning bell and a dusk drum, making his heart seem to be stormy.

Maybe ordinary people will feel sneered when they say this, but Mi Yang said this with unparalleled convincing.

Because in the public security guard battle that made Mi Yang famous, Mi Yang did this.

Compared with him now, Mi Yang's status has already undergone earth-shaking changes, but there may be a precious quality called the original heart, and Mi Yang has never discarded it for a day.

This quality is enough to make Ma Chao admire.

Seeing Ma Chao's expression change dramatically because of his words, Mi Yang knew that half of his goal today had been achieved.

Because of the strategy in his heart to deal with the enemy, he must get Ma Chao's full assistance.

Under this kind of plan, his strategic thinking must not be hidden from Ma Chao.

At the moment of the great enemy, if the strategic thinking of the commander and the general is not unified, then this battle has not yet been fought, and half of it has already been lost.

Of course, what Mi Yang said to Ma Chao just now was not a fake attempt to deceive him.

Mi Yang is a fair person.

When he first became the pastor of Liangzhou, he installed his cronies, released his military power with a glass of wine, and later carried out a series of reforms in the territory, almost sweeping away the powerful family forces that opposed him in the territory.

His various behaviors are essentially making him the real master of Liangzhou, and he is monopolizing power.

Liu Bei is not ignorant of Mi Yang's behavior, with Liu Bei's experience, of course he can see Mi Yang's thoughts, but he is not suspicious of Mi Yang because of this, why?

Because Liu Bei thinks that if a state pastor can't fully control his own territory, how can he help him resist strong enemies in the future, especially the strategic significance of Mi Yang, a state pastor, is too great.

This is Liu Bei's trust in Mi Yang.

And because of this, before the great enemy came, when the Han needed Mi Yang, the Liangzhou pastor, to help him get through this most difficult calamity, Mi Yang could not retreat, and he could not put his personal interests above the interests of the Han Dynasty.

It is a fact that Mi Yang has a strong desire for power, but power and duty are unified, and Mi Yang will not evade this.

He was the Liangzhou pastor of the Han Dynasty.

Ma Chao's mental shock did not last long, and soon his face no longer changed, and finally boiled down to a look, that is-firmness.

It doesn't matter if it's difficult to come to Japan, as long as there is a Wei army to fight, then what does it matter if he accompanies Mi Yang to fight a hard battle?

Ma Chao looked up at Mi Yang, and he asked, "What will Champion Hou do next?" ”

Hearing Ma Chao call himself Champion Hou, Mi Yang's face showed a smile.

The significance of the champion Hou in the Han Army is extraordinary, Ma Chao can call him the champion Hou as a soldier, then the meaning expressed by Ma Chao is obvious.

What Mi Yang harvested today is no longer an ally, but a "subordinate" who can be deployed to his heart's content.

It's just that Mi Yang didn't break this point, and some things are tacit to each other.

After Ma Chao finished asking that sentence, Mi Yang immediately picked up a wooden stick and pointed to a place in Yutu, which was Wudu.

"I have carefully studied the route of the thief army's march, and the intentions of the middle and east route armies are not mentioned for the time being, the intention of the thief army's western route army must be to take Wudu County.

Once the thief army takes Wudu County, then Yinping will be directly exposed to the bandit army's soldiers, and Yinping will not be lost.

So I want the hussar general to lead the army to resist Guo Huai's army. ”

Hearing Mi Yang say this, Ma Chao's eyes gradually narrowed.

He asked Mi Yang, "How long do you need to keep it?" ”

Seeing Ma Chao ask about this, Mi Yang fell silent.

After pondering for a long time, Mi Yang's mouth lightly spit out a sentence:

"After I die."

Mi Yang's answer made Ma Chao look sideways for a while.

Then he burst out laughing.

When will Dahan be able to prosper?

When the generals are not afraid of death!
