Fei Yao didn't stop Wei Yan's army, he became the third, no, the fourth Wei general to be played by Wei Yan.

But although he did not complete the task given to him by Cao Zhen, he found out an extremely important thing - that is, Wei Yan's true whereabouts.

But after understanding that Wei Yan was going to Yangping Pass, Fei Yao's whole head looked confused.

After Wei Yan led the army to get rid of the Wei army outside Chenggu City, no one in the Wei army could not help but guess Wei Yan's true whereabouts.

Among the people who speculated were Liu Ye, who had an insight into the current situation, and Cao Zhen, who defeated the alien race in Guanxi, in addition to these two people, there were at least hundreds of Wei generals who had experienced a hundred battles.

There were so many excellent commanders, but none of them had guessed Wei Yan's true movements before.

The stunned Fei Yao subconsciously reported the truth he had found out and reported it to Cao Zhen outside Xingshi City with a fast horse.

In just three days, the messenger quickly came to the Wei army camp outside Xingshi City, and handed over Fei Yao's military report to Cao Zhen in person.

And Cao Zhen heard that Fei Yao had a military report coming, so he hurriedly opened the military newspaper in his hand and read it.

Before opening it, Cao Zhen's mood was a little complicated.

He wanted to hear that what Fei Yao sent was good news, even if it was not good news, but also the military report that he had successfully intercepted Wei Yan's army.

While looking forward to it in his heart, Cao Zhen still had some worries in his heart.

After all, the movements of Wei Yan's army were like a heavy fog in his heart before.

With mixed feelings, Cao Zhen read the contents of the military newspaper at a very fast speed.

And after reading the content of the military report, when the worry in his heart came true, Cao Zhen's whole face turned red because of anger.

He tightly held the military report sent by Fei Yao in his hand, and in the end, Cao Zhen, who really couldn't calm down the emotions in his heart, angrily threw Fei Yao's military report directly to the ground!

Yangpingguan?

How could it be Yangpingguan!

What the hell is Mi Yang going to do!

Cao Zhen knew that Wei Yan was Mi Yang's general, and he suddenly marched so quickly, he must have Mi Yang's instructions.

For Mi Yang, Cao Zhen has never despised it.

But now it's not Cao Zhen's problem of despising Mi Yang, it's Mi Yang's arrangement that gives Cao Zhen a headache.

Liu Ye once inferred about Wei Yan's real direction of marching, Wei Yan's army set out from Xicheng, and there were only three directions with a high probability, one was Nanzheng, which was the most probable, and the other two were Luogu Xiegu or Sword Pavilion.

Leading the troops to these three directions can be said to have a certain effect on improving the current treacherous battle situation faced by the Han army.

Only the direction of Yangpingguan was not expected by Liu Ye before.

Maybe Liu Ye thought about this possibility, but this possibility was quickly denied by him.

Why?

The reason is simple, Yangping Pass has never been the offensive core of the Wei army.

Cao Zhen was not unaware of the importance of Yangping Pass to Hanzhong, but he also knew how easy it was to defend and difficult to attack.

Not to mention the losses suffered by Cao Cao when he conquered Hanzhong that year, under Yangping Pass.

Even in the battle of Hanzhong, which overshadowed the Wei army, Yangping Pass was never captured by the Han army under the insistence of Zhang He.

Therefore, in the pre-war planning, Cao Zhen only wanted to blockade Yangping Pass, unless it was a last resort, Cao Zhen didn't want to gnaw on this hard bone.

This can be easily judged from the direction of his march.

This point must not be hidden from Mi Yang.

And it was precisely this point that made the Wei army fall in love with Wei Yan's way, or the Wei army was confused by Mi Yang's prestige, which led to a wrong judgment in unison.

5,000 mobile field elites are very important to the current Han army.

Mi Yang knew that Yangping Pass was not the direction of attack of the Wei army, so how could he suddenly dispatch Wei Yan to march to Yangping Pass with his strategy?

Figure what?

Just to have fun with tens of thousands of Wei troops?

The Wei army didn't believe that Mi Yang would make such a low-level mistake, but it was this firm disbelief that turned into an incomparably turbulent wave at this moment, constantly impacting Cao Zhen's heart.

Cao Zhen couldn't help but cover his head.

He had a headache.

How could Mi Yang make such a low-level mistake?

He must have something big planned.

But now that the counties of Hanzhong have fallen, what is more important than this?

After such turbulent thoughts, Cao Zhen, a veteran of a hundred battles, felt that the situation was changing treacherously.

Just when Cao Zhen had a headache, Liu Ye heard about Fei Yao's military report, and he came to Cao Zhen's big tent.

After Liu Ye came to Cao Zhen's military tent, he saw Cao Zhen holding his head uncomfortably, which frightened Liu Ye.

He hurriedly stepped forward to Cao Zhen to help him up, and then asked with concern, "How is the general?" ”

Cao Zhen is the commander of Cao Wei's southern expeditionary army, if his body goes wrong, it will be a catastrophe for the current Wei army.

Fortunately, what Liu Ye was worried about did not happen.

Cao Zhen, with Liu Ye's support, raised his head and looked at Liu Ye with bloodshot eyes, and he first comforted Liu Ye:

"It's okay to be alone."

Then Cao Zhen's tone suddenly changed to dull, and he said to Liu Ye: "Wei Yan fled again. ”

"According to Fei Yao's report, the real direction he is going to is actually Yangping Pass!"

When he learned the news, even Liu Ye, who was usually full of wisdom, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The emotions surging in Cao Cai's heart are now also rolling rapidly in Liu Ye's heart.

In battle, it is not terrible for the enemy to be strong.

The most terrifying thing is that when you keep treating your enemy as a god's opponent, he does something as incomprehensible as a "pig".

Because this means that the foundation of defeating the enemy, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy, is being loosened.

However, Liu Ye has followed Cao Cao for many years, and he has also seen big storms, so he quickly adjusted his emotions and quickly analyzed the purpose of Mi Yang's move.

After analyzing for a long time, the light in Liu Ye's eyes became more and more dim.

Who knows what Mi Yang is going to do?

Could it be that Mi Yang still wants to rely on thousands of troops to attack the tens of thousands of elites of the hussar generals?

It's a fantasy.

There was no way, Liu Ye could only suggest to Cao Zhen in the end:

"No matter what purpose Mi Yang has, our army should still use static braking and increase the offensive to quickly capture the two cities of Han and Le."

"Once these two cities are captured by our army, Xingshi and Nanzheng will be completely encircled by our army.

At that time, no matter what kind of evil Mi Yang wants to do with these 5,000 elites, our army will eventually be invincible! ”

After listening to Liu Ye's words, Cao Zhen cleaned up his mood and nodded heavily.

Liu Ye's method can be described as the best for the current Wei army.

It's just that what Cao Zhen and Liu Ye don't know is that just a few days later, a piece of news will solve all the doubts in their hearts.

It's up to them to see if they can withstand it.

After going through many hardships and dangers and making several transfers, Wei Yan finally led 5,000 Liangzhou troops to the outside of Yangping Pass.

It was Wu Yi, the guard of Yangping, who greeted Wei Yan.

The moment he saw Wu Yi, Wei Yan was a little surprised.

He thought that Mi Yang would come out to greet him personally.

Next, Wu Yi's private words solved Wei Yan's doubts - the state pastor didn't want too many people to know that he was in Yangping Pass now.

After hearing this secret, Wei Yan became even more excited.

Wei Yan's family was poor since he was a child, and he didn't read any books, but when his status slowly improved, he liked to read history because he loved the art of war.

There are various famous generals in the history books, which Wei Yan yearns for.

Wei Yan, who has seen the deeds of countless famous generals, of course knows that in the First Battle of Changping, King Qin Zhaoxiang made an arrangement to ensure the victory of the war.

Now that Mi Yang has used a similar arrangement, doesn't it mean that Mi Yang is also brewing a big move?

As soon as he thought of this, Wei Yan's heart was excited.

He worked so hard to transfer here, isn't it just to make a contribution?

With the excitement in his heart, Wei Yan followed Wu Yi to a place where he was in his main tent and saw Mi Yang, who he hadn't seen for nearly half a year.

At the moment he saw Mi Yang, Wei Yan immediately bowed to Mi Yang, and called him Mu Bo in his mouth.

No matter how reluctant Wei Yan was when he first joined Mi Yang's command, but as he got along for several years, unconsciously, Wei Yan gradually became convinced of Mi Yang in his heart.

Now in Wei Yan's heart, there are only two people in the world who are worthy of commanding him, one is Liu Bei, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the other is Mi Yang, who is sitting in front of him.

After seeing Wei Yan, the smile on Mi Yang's face was not concealed at all.

Before Wei Yan arrived, he wrote all his actions during this period of time in advance and reported them to Mi Yang.

Unlike Cao Zhen, who read the military report and became more angry the more he read it, Mi Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart after reading Wei Yan's military report - this is the Wei Yan who proposed the Meridian Valley conspiracy in history.

Bold and good at flexible combat.

Mi Yang knew that Wei Yan had an arrogant personality, and with his character, he disdained to cheat in the military newspaper.

So what he said was definitely not mixed with any water.

For excellent subordinates, Mi Yang has always been stingy with appreciation.

Mi Yang looked at Wei Yan and said, "When I left Chengdu, His Majesty once told me that Yanwen Chang was the one who could conspire with me in great things. ”

"Your Majesty's words are here today."

Mi Yang's compliment made Wei Yan laugh.

Wei Yan disdained to accept the praise of ordinary people.

But Mi Yang praised him, which was absolutely qualified, and Mi Yang's words also mentioned his benefactor Liu Bei, which made Wei Yan even more happy.

His Majesty has never forgotten him.

Under Mi Yang's praise, not only Wei Yan showed a smile on his face, but Wu Yi, Fa Miao, and Lu Yi who were in the tent at this moment also gave Wei Yan an appreciative look.

Thousands of miles into the encirclement of tens of thousands of Wei troops, and finally able to lead the army unscathed to Yangping Pass, this behavior is enough to make Wei Yan have the reputation of a famous general.

But happy is happy, Mi Yang did not forget the business of summoning Wei Yan to come.

Under the indication of Mi Yang's eyes, Fa Miao told Wei Yan about what they were planning recently.

This made Wei Yan understand why Mi Yang urgently summoned him here.

Cao Hong, the commander of the Cao Wei Middle Route Army, was deceived by Wu Yi's false surrender and was willing to bring troops to "receive" Yangping Pass.

How good is this, the chance to defeat Cao Hong's army?

Perhaps due to the numerical disadvantage of their own army, Cao Hong's army could not be completely annihilated, but as long as they could fight a big victory, this big victory would definitely greatly boost their military morale.

Isn't it the battle to defend the city that fights the hearts of the people?

Wei Yan immediately realized the great merit that this incident would bring him, and what kind of far-reaching impact it would have on the current battle between the Han and Wei sides.

Wei Yan solemnly hugged his fist at Mi Yang and said: "As soon as Mu Bo's military order comes out, Yan will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up here!" ”

Seeing Wei Yan's statement, Mi Yang laughed even more happily.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

And if you want to come to the east wind, you can't wait impatiently.

In the end, Mi Yang looked at Wu Yi and nodded at him.

After seeing Mi Yang's move, Wu Yi responded with a fist in understanding, and then he put on a happy smile and turned around and walked out of the tent.

Wu Yi is going to find his recent confidant and friend Ren Xiang.

In September of the third year of Han Zhangwu, Cao Hong was in the camp outside Wu Street, waiting for some of the autumn water.

Ren Xiang went to Yangping Pass again, and half a month has passed.

For such a long time, Ren Xiang has not come back to restore his life, if it weren't for Ren Xiang's handwritten letters to send back, Cao Hong would probably have suspected Wu Yi of having bad intentions.

Happily, one day in early September, Cao Hong finally waited for Ren Xiang, who had returned from Yangping Pass.

Ren Xiang, who has been in the dust all the way, looks a little sluggish in his spirit.

But his eyes were shining.

This time he came back, and he brought good news to Cao Hong.

"Hussar General, Wu Yi has finally made up his mind and is willing to act according to your plan."

When he got this letter, Cao Hong couldn't help but high-five him excitedly.

After nearly a month of painstaking planning, his hard work was finally not in vain.

Cao Hong's surrender to Wu Yi was not without suspicions, otherwise he would not have proposed that kind of plan.

But Cao Hong's suspicions, when Wu Yi agreed to his plan, had gradually dissipated in his heart.

To be honest, his plan has ensured the safety of his army to the greatest extent, and if he still hesitates in this situation, I am afraid that Emperor Wu's resurrection will blame him for delaying the fighter.

After receiving Wu Yi's letter, Cao Hong immediately made people beat the drum of convening the meeting.

When the sound of strong drums sounded in the Wei army's camp, many Wei generals soon came to Cao Hong's main tent, including Yang Fu.

After seeing that the generals had arrived, Cao Hong immediately revealed the news of Wu Yi's willingness to surrender to the generals present.

Among the generals, except for Yang Fu, it was the first time they heard the news.

So after hearing the news, they all had a look of surprise on their faces.

That's Yangpingguan, can you not be surprised?

Moreover, with Cao Hong's status, since he can reveal this news in front of the generals, he already has a firm grasp of this matter.

However, it is not without the doubts of generals, for example, a general said to Cao Hongjin:

"Thieves have always been good at trickery, and I hope the general will be cautious."

Hearing the general mention Mi Yang, Cao Hong's face turned cold, and even the original happy atmosphere in the tent gradually disappeared.

Cao Hong snorted coldly at the general and said:

"The thief is a good trick, but if he hesitates because of this, why does our army march south, why don't you sit quietly in Luoyang and tie your hands to be captured?"

After saying this, Cao Hong immediately disdainfully said:

"Besides, the thieves are currently in a prosperous situation, and it is difficult to protect themselves from being surrounded by Zidan's soldiers, so what is there to be afraid of in our army?"

If Mi Yang was in Yangping Pass, Cao Hong would definitely not believe Wu Yi.

But now he can't reach it, if he doesn't take advantage of this time to take Yangping Pass in one fell swoop, when will he wait!
