Chapter 450: Honesty and Honesty Bury Your Bones
After the resentful emotion, Wu Yi began to quickly weigh the pros and cons in his heart.
In fact, from a personal point of view, Wu Yi is not a pure minister like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
It's not the first time Wu Yi has done this kind of thing, otherwise Liu Bei wouldn't have been so easy to hit the city of Chengdu back then.
This is also the biggest reason why Cao Hong would write this letter to Wu Yi before the example of Cao Ren.
Wu Yi has the remarkable style of the children of the world - knowing the current affairs.
Wu Yi's style can be clearly reflected from the original battle with Mi Yang.
But Wu Yi likes to know the current affairs well, which doesn't mean that he doesn't even know how to analyze the interests and harms basically.
Does Cao Hong still think that Liangzhou is like Cao Wei, where the commander of the first army is in charge of all the powers?
Under Mi Yang's reform of the military system, he has basically put an end to the occurrence of the following situations in terms of system.
In this case, Wu Yizong wanted to surrender and offer the pass, but there was no way.
What's more, don't look at how dangerous the situation in Liangzhou is that Cao Hong's letter says, but Wu Yi knows that the current situation in Liangzhou is critical, but it has not yet come to overturn.
Before the situation was completely clear, Wu Yi could not do this kind of thing by categorically abandoning the glorious status that he had already obtained in the Great Han.
After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Wu Yi had already made a decision in his heart.
But then Wu Yi opened his mouth to say what he said, but Ren Xiang felt quite satisfied.
"The messenger has come from afar, so it is better to go down and rest first.
Cao Hussar's mouth said that the battle, I will think about it more. ”
Wu Yi is a scheming person, and when he was reading Cao Hong's letter just now, although his mood fluctuated greatly, his face was very normal.
Coupled with the content of Cao Hongxin, only Wu Yi and Ren Xiang know at the moment.
It cannot be said that there is no curiosity about the letter, but without knowing the exact content of the letter, it is far from being suspicious of Wu Yi.
After all, Wu Yi had already said that Cao Hong's letter was "declaring war" on him, and it was also very common for the two armies to face each other, and it was also very common for the commander of one army to send an envoy to write a letter to the envoy of the other army to declare war.
And Ren Xiang was naturally happy after hearing Wu Yi's words.
Because he knew everything inside, he heard the meaning of consideration from Wu Yi's mouth.
If it wasn't intended, why bother to hide the true content of this letter in front of the generals.
If it wasn't intentional, why would you call Cao Hong Cao Hussar in your mouth?
You must know that at present, between the Han and Wei sides, due to the natural hostile relationship, the ministers of both sides do not recognize the legitimacy of the other side on the surface.
Ren Xiang, who was happy, of course did not resist Wu Yi's arrangement.
After Ren Xiang left the big tent, Wu Yi dissolved the council.
When the generals left, Wu Yi only left his younger brother Wu Ban.
After only Wu Yi and Wu Ban were left in the big tent, Wu Yi handed over the letter from Cao Hong in his hand to Wu Ban to read.
Wu Ban originally thought that the content of this letter was a declaration of war, as his brother said.
But when he read the contents of the letter, a look of panic immediately appeared on his face.
Subconsciously, Wu Ban persuaded Wu Yi: "Brother, don't be bewitched by Cao Hong's dog thief!" ”
"Dedication to sincerity, absolutely not!"
Although Wu Ban was dissatisfied with Mi Yang's approach at the beginning, he thought that Mi Yang was too domineering.
But in the final analysis, Wu Ban's dissatisfaction with Mi Yang was more because he did not want the Wu family's authority in Liangzhou to be cut, and Wu Ban was not dissatisfied with the Han Dynasty and Liu Bei.
Moreover, after Mi Yang completely took power, he did not exterminate the Wu family, but reused it from time to time, and in the past time, Wu Ban gradually realized the power of Mi Yang's methods.
Therefore, it is true that Wu Ban is dissatisfied with Mi Yang, but he has no thoughts of betraying Mi Yang in his heart.
Seeing that Wu Ban's first reaction after seeing the content of this letter was the same, the resentment in Wu Yi's heart surged again.
It seems that it is no wonder that Cao Hong looks down on him, even a close confidant like Wu Ban is like this, not to mention Cao Hong is an outsider?
Wu Yi's whole face was pulled down, and he scolded Wu Bandao: "What are you talking nonsense, am I ungrateful." ”
Wu Yi first clearly put on his attitude, and then he asked Wu Bandao: "Although I will not surrender to Wei, if today's matter is known by Fa Miao, he will inevitably not be suspicious in his heart." ”
The reason why Wu Yi and Wu Ban are unwilling to betray Mi Yang, in addition to the above reasons, is also because Fa Miao is currently the deputy general of Yangping Pass.
Previously, after Mi Yang led the army to leave Nanzheng, he originally planned to let Fa Miao stay in Nanzheng.
But later, when Mi Yang heard that Ma Chao led the army into Wudu, he changed his mind and ordered the appointment of Fa Miao as the deputy general of Yangping Pass.
Wu Yi didn't know if Mi Yang's sudden appointment of Fa Miao as the deputy general of Yangpingguan was to guard against himself.
Judging from the current situation in Yangping Pass, as long as there is Fa Miao in one day, he Wu Yi will not be able to do anything that harms Mi Yang's interests.
The most important thing is that he can hide today's events from others, and once Fa Miao knows about it, Fa Miao may be suspicious.
That's why Wu Yi thought about leaving Wu Ban and discussing this matter together.
In the face of Wu Yi's inquiry, Wu Ban suddenly realized the seriousness of this matter.
Since Deng Xian's incident, Fa Miao has formed a rift with them, which makes it difficult for Fa Miao to choose to trust Wu Yi naturally.
Just when Wu Yi and Wu Ban brothers were thinking hard about how to make Fa Miao trust them, a cronie from outside the tent came to report, saying that Fa Miao was leading people to the main tent.
The arrival of Fa Miao made Wu Yi and Wu Ban nervous all of a sudden.
The sunflowers are coming.
Fa Miao had just returned to the barracks.
After Fa Miao was sent to Yangping Pass by Mi Yang, in order to ensure the safety of Yangping Pass, he has been inspecting the city defenses inside and outside Yangping Pass with his entourage for half a month.
Every day he rises at sunrise and returns at sunset, and today is no exception.
Therefore, in the discussion of the generals just now, Fa Miao was not present.
However, when he had just returned to the barracks, a close confidant who had just participated in the deliberations informed Fa Miao of Cao Hong's envoy's visit.
After hearing this, Fa Miao immediately felt that something was wrong.
If it was really as his cronies said, Cao Hong's letter was just a declaration of war, and Wu Yi could let Ren Xiang leave after receiving the letter declaring war, so why did he leave Ren Xiang to stay in the camp temporarily?
This unreasonableness made Fa Miao have to be suspicious of Wu Yi.
So before Fa Miao could rest, he immediately took a group of cronies and rushed towards Wu Yi's big tent.
When Fa Miao came to Wu Yi's big tent, he was surprised to find that Wu Yi was waiting for him outside the tent early.
It seems that Wu Yi knew the news of his arrival in advance.
But this is normal, in the army, who doesn't have a few cronies?
At this time, the sky was already completely dark, the full moon was hanging high in the dark deep sky, and the bright moonlight was shining on the ground under Wu Yi's feet through thousands of miles away.
The full moon is like a disk, and the bright moonlight is at Wu Yi's feet at this moment, just forming a ring.
Before meeting Fa Miao, although Wu Yi was not at peace in his heart, he kept pacing in place.
But what he didn't realize was that no matter how much he paced in place, he never took a step out of the circle under his feet.
Painting the ground as a prison is a true portrayal of Wu Yi's heart at the moment.
Fa Miao's arrival was quickly watched by Wu Yi, and seeing the generals who were in charge of the military power following behind Fa Miao, Wu Yi barely squeezed out a smile on his face.
Why did he see Fa Miao outside the tent, didn't he just let Fa Miao have concerns?
Throughout the ages, there have been countless cases of ambushes and killings in tents.
A few steps in front of Fa Miao, Wu Yi took the initiative to invite Fa Miao: "Don't drive, can you have leisure and take a walk with me?" ”
Faced with Wu Yi's invitation, Fa Miao thought about it and agreed to him.
is surrounded by his cronies, as long as he is outside the tent, he is not afraid that Wu Yi will have bad ideas.
And Wu Yi wanted to be alone with him, thinking that he had something important to talk to him privately.
Fa Miao quickly walked to the place where Wu Yi was side by side, and then followed Wu Yi's steps and scattered together in the vast open space outside the tent.
"The content of Cao Hong's letter today is not a declaration of war, but to lure me in.
The reason why I don't tell the generals the truth is that I don't want to arouse suspicion for no reason. ”
Before he could take a few steps, Wu Yi told Fa Miao the truth.
And he also calmly took out Cao Hong's letter from his arms and handed it to Fa Miao to see.
After listening to Wu Yi's words and seeing the contents of the letter, Fa Miao's eyes narrowed.
When the guess in his heart is true, Fa Miao is not too shocked, but this matter also makes him feel very troubled.
The tricky thing is Wu Yi's true attitude.
Seeing that Fa Miao's pace paused slightly, Wu Yi immediately followed up and said:
"I have neither the ability to be anti-minded, nor the ability to be anti-aggressive, Cao Hong doesn't know this, don't drive it should be very clear."
Wu Yi knew that if it was just a pale verbal explanation, with his past, it would be difficult for Fa Miao to believe his words.
But if the objectivity is explained clearly, then Fa Miao will naturally believe it.
Sure enough, after listening to Wu Yi's words, Fa Miao kept up with Wu Yi's speed again.
After saying his attitude, Wu Yi continued as if talking to himself:
"It is a truth that everyone knows that no one is a saint or a sage.
But the world will find it difficult to trust others because of what they do, and I know this very well.
At the beginning in Nanzheng, I was indeed a little dissatisfied with the methods of the state pastor, but on the high platform of the military parade that day, I had already surrendered to the state pastor.
Cao Hong's letter may be a sincere persuasion, but it may also be a plan to discord, Ma Mengqi was defeated in this plan back then, and I hope that I will not have doubts about this point.
The disagreement between the chief and deputy in the army has always been a taboo for soldiers. ”
Wu Yi's tone was very sincere, he really didn't want Fa Miao to doubt him because of this.
And Wu Yi's words did not get a response from Fa Miao.
Seeing that he couldn't get Fa Miao's affirmative response for a long time, Wu Yi was a little anxious.
He turned to look at Fa Miao on the side, and he saw that Fa Miao was contemplating at the moment.
"Don't drive, don't you still want to believe me after all?"
Wu Yi's urgent question woke up Fa Miao, who was in deep thought.
After seeing the eager look on Wu Yi's face, Fa Miao smiled and gave his reply:
"The state shepherd believes in you, and I naturally believe in you."
Fa Miao is really a qualified sunflower.
After hearing Fa Miao's affirmative answer, Wu Yi suddenly put down a big stone in his heart.
As long as Fa Miao didn't doubt him, the opinion of the rest of the army didn't matter so much.
Wu Yi, who was relieved, thought of sending someone to send Ren Xiang away at this time.
And Fa Miao seemed to see what he was thinking.
Fa Miao whispered to Wu Yi: "But what if I want the general to surrender? ”
When he heard Fa Miao's words, Wu Yi immediately looked at Fa Miao with wide eyes.
But soon he reacted that Fa Miao didn't want him to really surrender, but to surrender by fraud.
After understanding what Fa Miao meant, Wu Yi soon began to think about the possibility of this strategy.
After thinking about it in every way, Wu Yi shook his head at Fa Miao.
"The case of Mencius cutting his hair and breaking his will is in the past, Cao Hong will no longer believe me."
After listening to Wu Yi's judgment, Fa Miao was not disappointed, on the contrary, the smile on his face became stronger.
"During the Battle of Chibi that year, Jiangdong General Huang Gai deceived Cao Cao with bitter meat, and then caused Cao's army to be defeated.
That battle made Cao Cao dare not go south for several years, compared to the battle of Xicheng, which battle brought a deeper lesson to the Wei army?
But when Mencius cut his hair and broke his will, Cao Jun still believed in his sincerity, why was this? ”
"Many people remember this sentence that the past does not forget the teacher of the future, but if everyone can do it, why is the world so chaotic?"
"In my opinion, when Cao Hong intended to write this letter to the general, he already had expectations for the general's surrender.
How rational will those who want what they want and who have what they want in their hearts have? ”
At this moment, Fa Miao's thinking was clearer than ever.
Fa Miao often heard a sentence from Mi Yang's mouth:
"People in the world often say that history is a mirror, but the biggest lesson that Zheng Zheng's history books give to the world is that many times the world will not believe those lessons."
Mi Yang's sentence can be described as a very portrayal at the moment.
What Fa Miao didn't know was that the reason why Mi Yang said this sentence was because he was familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life.
In history, even if there is a lesson from the defeat of Chibi, there are often successful cases of Dongwu using deception to surrender later.
The most famous is that Zhou Yi broke his hair to earn Cao Xiu, but in addition to this case, there are many other successful examples of fraud.
Even Sun Quan was severely pit by the Gongsun clan of Liaodong once.
Cao Xiu, Sun Quan and other people who were deceived, they were not fools, but they still fell into the scheme, and the reason was that they had something in their hearts.
The greater the desire of the heart, the lower the corresponding rational judgment, and this is human nature.
After listening to Fa Miao's analysis, Wu Yi felt that what Fa Miao said was very reasonable.
And Fa Miao's next sentence directly made Wu Yi make up his mind.
"The pass is in the hands of our army, no matter whether the fraudulent surrender is successful or not, our army is invincible, why don't you give it a try?"
Seeing that Fa Miao had already said so, Wu Yi was not an indecisive person, so he immediately responded:
"Good."
His poor reputation attracted Cao Hong's persuasion.
But since the reputation is not good, is there still one thing missing?
After Wu Yi promised himself, Fa Miao's face showed respect for Wu Yi:
In the letter, Cao Hong persuaded the general with the love of his hometown, and the general could not think of the heart of returning to his hometown, but dedicated himself to the Han Dynasty.
Miao has a sentence that the state pastor said that it should be transferred to the general. ”
"Why do you need mulberry land to bury bones, where is life not green mountains!"
The last sentence that Fa Miao said made Wu Yi feel enthusiastic after listening to it.
He looked up at the green mountains surrounding Yangping Pass, and the pride in his heart became more and more vigorous.
He is from the Central Plains, isn't Mi Yang?
Fa Miao's hometown is also not in Yizhou.
But as long as there is a common belief in your heart, even if you die in the green mountains in the end, as long as you are accompanied by the corpses of your fellow paths, then it is not a kind of no regret!
With this sentence, he was determined to cheat Cao Hong!
