Wujie is located behind Qishan, and importantly, it is not far from Yangping Pass.

Yangping Pass, anyone who wants to take Hanzhong, can't ignore the importance of this pass to Hanzhong.

When Cao Cao led his army to attack Hanzhong, Zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei led tens of thousands of troops to fortify inside and outside Yangping Pass.

Zhang Wei's talent is naturally not comparable to Cao Cao, and the Hanzhong soldiers are not necessarily more elite than the Wei army.

But Zhang Wei relied on Yangping Pass to block Cao Cao's army in the mountains.

It can be said that if it weren't for that accident, the Wei army would not have been able to take Yangping Pass back then.

Even in the battle of Hanzhong where Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao, no matter how brave the Han army was, it did not capture Yangping Pass, which was heavily defended, in the end.

From these two incidents, it is enough to see that the danger of Yangping Pass is extraordinary.

In the two battles of Hanzhong, Cao Hong participated in them.

Among the famous generals of Cao Wei in existence today, Cao Hong may be one of those who have the deepest understanding of the danger of Yangping Pass.

Because of this understanding, Cao Hong did not want to lead the army to storm Yangping Pass until the last resort.

In the initial strategy of the Middle Route Army, Cao Zhen did not assign Cao Hong the task of taking Yangping Pass.

However, Cao Hong is old, and he still has ambitions in his heart.

If there is a chance to win Yangping Pass, then Cao Hong will definitely give it a try.

In Cao Hong's view, there is an excellent opportunity in front of him right now.

Wu Yi and Mi Yang are incompatible!

Throughout the ages, are there few examples in the world of abandoning the dark and turning to the light because of disagreement with the coach?

In particular, Cao Hong also knew that Wu Yi was not from Yizhou, he was from a Central Plains family.

At present, the Central Plains is under the control of Cao Wei.

Everyone has homesickness, if persuasion is carried out from both the benefits and the aspects of homesickness, it is difficult to guarantee that Wu Yi will not be tempted.

Thinking of this, Cao Hong's heart was a little hot.

Cao Hong is a decisive character, and when he has an idea in his heart, Cao Hong immediately starts to act.

A letter was quickly written under Cao Hong's pen, and Cao Hong summoned a man.

This person's name is Ren Xiang, and he is Cao Hong's brother-in-law.

The reason why Cao Hong summoned Ren Xiang was because Ren Xiang was a person from Yanzhou Chen Liu, and he was a fellow villager with Wu Yinai.

If you're planning to send a lobbyist, what better way to do it than to send a fellow countryman?

After Ren Xiang was summoned by Cao Hong, he quickly learned of his mission from Cao Hong's mouth.

After learning that he was about to become a lobbyist and was going to Yangping Pass to say Wu Yi for Cao Hong, Ren Xiang was eager to try.

Wu Yi's family is quite famous in Chen Liuyi, and Ren Xiang's family has some friendship in the past.

Moreover, Wu Yi was born in a famous family, and if he wanted to fight against the two armies, he would attach great importance to this principle if he did not cut it.

With these two points, Ren Xiang feels that his life safety is guaranteed.

Since there is no danger to his life, but it is possible to make great contributions, so what else can Ren Xiang hesitate about?

After taking the letter from Cao Hong's hand and putting it in his arms, Ren Xiang immediately bowed to Cao Hong, and then quickly left Cao Hong's big tent.

When Ren Xiang came out of Cao Hong's tent, his whereabouts happened to be seen by Yang Fu, who came to Cao Hong to discuss military affairs.

Ren Xiang is Cao Hong's brother-in-law and is now a lieutenant general in Cao Wei's army, and Yang Fu naturally knows Ren Xiang.

After Yang Fu saw Ren Xiang coming out of Cao Hong's tent, he had an excited and mysterious look on his face, and he was inevitably a little suspicious in his heart.

But Yang Fu didn't care too much.

The reason why he came to look for Cao Hong was because he had important matters to discuss.

Because he was concerned about the important things in his heart, Yang Fu quickly entered Cao Hong's big tent.

Cao Hong saw that Yang Fu had entered his big tent without permission, and he instinctively felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Cao Hong and Yang Fu have already had a holiday.

After the victory in the battle of Xia Debate, Cao Hong was very happy, and he held a banquet in the army, so that the singer girl wore thin clothes and stepped on the drum, and everyone present laughed.

Only Yang Fu saw this scene and severely reprimanded Cao Hong and said: "The difference between men and women, the big festival of the country, how can there be a naked woman in the middle of the seat!" Although the rebellion is not even worse than this. ”

In his words, Yang Fu compared Cao Hong to a tyrannical person like Ji Xuan.

was reprimanded like this in public, and it is strange that Cao Hong's character can not be angry.

If it weren't for Cao Xiu's persuasion at that time, Cao Hong would not have invited Yang Fu, who had left the table angrily, to re-seat.

Because of this unpleasant past, Yang Fu of course also knew that Cao Hong had a grudge against him in his heart.

But since he is Cao Hong's protector today, then he must fulfill his responsibility as a protector.

After Yang Fu saw Cao Hong, he bowed to him and asked: "Now that our army has taken Wujie, I don't know when the general will lead the army north to capture Qishan?" ”

Cao Hong used flexible tactics to capture Wujie, but he did not take Qishan after all.

Qishan has an elite Liangzhou army, and if the Liangzhou army cannot be eliminated, there will be no security behind the Wei army.

In such a situation, how can you continue to go south?

Yang Fu's question made Cao Hong groan.

Even Yang Fu could see the problem, he couldn't fail to see it.

If it was before, he really had to think about the issue of Qishan.

But now that he has a new breakthrough direction in his heart, he doesn't care so much about Qishan.

Between Qishan and Yangping Pass, who is more important and who is lighter?

It's pretty much self-explanatory.

And because he was not sure in his heart whether Wu Yi would accept his persuasion, Cao Hong didn't want to tell Yang Fu about his plan now.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Hong replied: "Our army has been marching hard for many days, and it is quite tiring.

The labor army should not fight, I might as well let the army recuperate in Wujie for a few days, and then lead the army north to capture Qishan. ”

Cao Hong's answer did not satisfy Yang Fu.

As the so-called soldiers are fast, the Middle Route Army has rarely made a good start, and it is time to go north to seize Qishan in one go.

Once they take Qishan, then the Middle Route Army can be regarded as worry-free in Hanzhong, which is a major matter related to the life and death of the first army, and how can it be delayed.

Yang Fu was about to persuade Cao Hong again, but Cao Hong was a little impatient at this time.

He waved his hand to signal Yang Fu to step back.

Cao Hong's impatient attitude made Yang Fu choke for a while.

He is a good protector, but the power of the protector is not unlimited, at least in wartime, he does not have the power to directly command the army.

Now Cao Hong, who is the commander of the First Army, refuses to listen to his advice, so Yang Fu has no choice.

Unless Yang Fu can make a decision to protect the power of the army, he will remove Cao Hong from the post of chief general.

It's just that this is a power that will be used as a last resort, and now that Cao Hong has no merit, what reason does Yang Fu use to remove Cao Hong on behalf of the Son of Heaven?

And after the removal of Cao Hong, who should command the Middle Route Army?

Yang Fu thought that he did not have the ability to command a large army alone.

Under these concerns, in the face of Cao Hong's impatience, Yang Fu could only sigh and leave in the end.

After Yang Fu left, Cao Hong turned out the map in the tent and carefully studied the enemies he was currently facing under the candlelight.

Although Cao Hong was in front of Yang Fu just now, he showed some carelessness about the next direction of attack.

But Cao Hong is not incompetent, and he really wants to fight this battle for the Great Wei, so when there is no one around, Cao Hong often analyzes what his next move should be.

It is true that Cao Hong has expectations for Yangping Guan Wu Yi in his heart, but as a general, Cao Hong, it is impossible to put all his eggs in one basket.

Cao Hong's calloused fingers kept swiping on the rough map, and when his fingers moved away from Yangpingguan, they gradually moved to Qishan.

Just as Yang Fu was worried, if Qi Shan was not taken for a day, Cao Hong would feel like a fish in his throat for a day.

Looking at the name of the guard marked on the map at Qishan, Cao Hong felt very unfamiliar.

Stonebud?

Where did this come from?

Qishan is such an important place, why didn't Mi Yang let Ding Feng guard it?

Cao Hong said that he couldn't see through Mi Yang's thoughts.

However, just as Cao Hong couldn't see through why Mi Yang would let Wu Yizhen, who had a dislike for him, guard Yangping Pass, since he couldn't see through it, there was no need to think about it.

Aren't the mistakes made by the enemy the best nourishment for his achievements?

After Ren Xiang left the Wei army camp, he took a few people with him and quickly rushed towards Yangping Pass.

Wujie is not far from Yangping Pass, and after a few days of travel, Ren Xiang came to Yangping Pass.

Unsurprisingly, the whereabouts of Ren Xiang and his party were soon discovered by the Han army scouts, and they were surrounded by a group of Han army scouts.

Faced with the encirclement of the Han army scouts, Ren Xiang did not choose to resist.

He chose to lay down his arms and let the Han scouts bind him, but when the Han scouts tied him, he also reported his identity and intentions.

The captain of the Han army scout did not hesitate after knowing that Ren Xiang was an envoy sent by the Wei army, and even took Ren Xiang towards Yangping Pass.

For the Scouts of the First Army, this was something they had encountered so often in the past.

Soon after, Ren Xiang was taken out of Wu Yi's tent by the Han army scouts.

Yangping Pass, in essence, is a military fortress.

When Zhang Wei resisted Cao Cao's army in Yangping Pass, he built many dangerous camps inside and outside Yangping Pass.

Over the years, some of those camps have been damaged, while others are still functional.

Since Wu Yi became the guard of Yangping Pass, he has reused those large camps.

Wu Yi was in the tent today to discuss military affairs with the generals.

According to the information he got before, the Wei army should be attacking Qishan at this time.

However, there was no military intelligence from the Qishan side, which made Wu Yi, who had been in battle for a long time, suspicious.

With doubts, Wu Yi convened the generals today to discuss this abnormal situation.

Although he was once reminded by Mi Yang, the nature of the country is easy to change, and when Wu Yi regained military power, he still used a large number of his old troops.

Most of those who are in the tent today are his cronies.

When Wu Yi heard the scout's report that an envoy from the Wei army was coming, a little stunned first appeared on his face, and then his brows tightened.

Did the Wei army arrive outside Yangping Pass?

Wu Yi knew that he might one day face Cao Wei's middle route army, but according to common sense, Wei army's middle route army should not be so quick to attack Yangping Pass.

After all, Qishan is still firmly under the control of the Han army.

The arrival of the Wei envoy plunged Wu Yi into a new confusion.

Due to the confusion in his heart, Wu Yi soon summoned Ren Xiang.

When Ren Xiang was brought into Wu Yi's big tent by the scouts, Ren Xiang quickly announced a shocking news to all the Han generals present.

Cao Hong's tens of thousands of Wei troops are currently stationed in the Wujie area.

After knowing the news, none of the generals present did not feel shocked.

Wu Street was behind Qishan, how could it suddenly be taken by the Wei army?

Could it be that Qishan has fallen?

When this thought came to mind in their hearts, the faces of all the generals present were very ugly.

If this is the case, then how strong is the combat power of the Wei army!

Only Wu Yi was stunned, but he still retained a bit of clarity.

If Qishan really fell, it was impossible for him not to get any news.

Qishan is not an inconsequential town like Wujie.

It's just that the most important thing at the moment is to find out the intention of the envoy of the Wei army.

Wu Yi tried his best to be calm, and he asked Ren Xiang in a deep voice: "What is the matter with Cao Hong sending you!" ”

Wu Yi's tone was rather indifferent.

But Ren Xiang was not worried at all.

He had just deliberately announced that the news that his army was in Wujie was to make the Han generals in the tent worried.

Only in a worried mood can the success of persuasion be greatly enhanced.

Seeing that Wu Yi asked about his intentions, Ren Xiang did not hide it, or that he deliberately revealed his intentions in front of everyone.

"Cao Hussar, there is a letter for me to give to the general."

When Ren Xiang's words came out, Wu Yi's brows became more and more wrinkled, and the other generals present all looked at Wu Yi with various eyes at the same time.

Most of the Han generals in the tent are Wu Yi's cronies, but there are still many people who are loyal to Mi Yang.

After all, Mi Yang reorganized the entire Liangzhou Army after disrupting it, and in this case, no one in the entire Liangzhou could completely control the Liangzhou Army alone except for Mi Yang.

Putting aside the meaning of the gaze of Wu Yi's cronies for the time being, the gaze of those Han generals who are completely loyal to Mi Yang is quite intriguing.

Things have developed to this point, and everything has made Ren Xiang very satisfied.

And the development of things to this point made Wu Yi feel a little unexpected.

No matter what is written in Cao Hong's letter, when everyone knows that Cao Hong has a letter delivered to Wu Yi, a lot of groundless speculation will arise.

Wu Yi is a relative of the Han Dynasty, but not to mention his past with Mi Yang for the time being, when Liu Bei captured Yizhou, wasn't Wu Yi Liu Zhang's relative?

Wu Yi understood Cao Hong's sinister intentions at this moment.

It's one thing to just understand, but Wu Yi has no means of countermeasures for the time being.

Flies never bite eggs.

Helpless, Wu Yi could only bite the bullet and ask Ren Xiang to send Cao Hong's letter.

After receiving Cao Hong's handwritten letter, Wu Yi quickly unfolded it:

"General Hong Suwen has a reputation for being good at fighting, and he has admired him for a long time.

Today, Hong led the army to press the border, and he wanted to be with the general for a long time, but Hong couldn't bear to give his life in vain, so he used a letter to clarify the interests and disadvantages for the general.

There are many loyal and righteous things in the world, but if you want to do it, you also need to look at the time of day.

Ma Chao's capital is now in Wudu, surrounded by the general of Zhengshu. The thief is in Nanzheng, and now the general is here.

As far as our army is concerned, Wujie has been lowered, and our army's troops will be able to touch Yangping in a few days. It's all about the present, and you can see it in person.

Liangzhou is divided into three ways for our army, and it is about to be hung upside down, how can there be any spare strength to save the general?

Now I am a tiger, and everyone is dead. The Great Wei Heavenly Soldiers are endless. If the general is now destined for the unexpected, he will guard the pass that must be lost, like fish and meat on the shore, hoping to rely on Jiang Han, and it is not clear.

If I concentrate on one place, I have not moved the sun, Yangping will be broken, after the city is broken, what good is it to die?

If it is not returned to the Central Plains, the temple will be rededicated to China.

I hope the general thinks about it! ”

After reading the content of Cao Hong's letter, Wu Yi's face became more and more ugly.

He looked up at the eyes of everyone present who examined him, and there was a nameless fire brewing in Wu Yi's heart.

Is his image so unbearable in the world?
