Chapter 459: Shocking News Liu Ye countered
Most of the Wei generals present here are Cao Hong's old subordinates for many years, and they naturally have no doubts about Cao Hong's decision.
As for the other Wei generals, such as Yang Fu, even if he wanted to stop Cao Hong in his heart, he didn't have the opportunity to say it.
Because after Cao Hong refuted the Wei general, he revealed his plan and discarded.
When he knew Cao Hong's overall plan, Wei Jiang, who originally had some doubts in his heart, gradually dissipated the doubts in his heart.
Cao Hong's plan has indeed minimized the risk in every aspect.
And it was Cao Hong's plan that directly blocked all of Yang Fu's words of advice.
Yang Fu is a protector and has the power to hold Cao Hong hostage, but this power cannot be used indiscriminately.
In particular, Cao Hong is still a relative of Cao Wei.
In addition, in good conscience, there is nothing wrong with Cao Hong's tactical arrangement.
Yang Fu can now use the power to hold Cao Hong hostage, but what if his coercion this time really causes Cao Hong to miss the opportunity to take Yangping Pass?
When the time comes, don't talk about Cao Pi who is far away in Luoyang, I'm afraid that Cao Zhen, who loves him a lot, will also eat him alive.
Yang Fu couldn't understand the character of the Son of Heaven of the Wei family anymore - mean and unkind.
Don't look at Yang Fu is now not only the assassin of Liangzhou, but also the protector of Cao Wei's middle route army, it seems that the power is still faintly above Cao Hong.
But these are based on the premise that Yang Fu can bring benefits to the Great Wei.
When this premise is lost and Yang Fu's actions cause public anger, then with the character of the Cao family, Yang Fu knows that he will inevitably be taken out by Cao Pi to make an example of chickens and monkeys.
Living in the big dye vat of power schemes, Yang Fu has long abandoned the purity of his early years, and the idea of weighing the pros and cons has been deeply rooted in his bones.
And now it is this kind of thinking that makes Yang Fu, who has always been upright in the past, hesitate to use power to hold Cao Hong hostage.
The hesitation on Yang Fu's face made Cao Hong, who had been watching him silently, aware of it.
Seeing that Yang Fu was just hesitant and did not directly object, Cao Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Taking advantage of Yang Fu's hesitation, Cao Hong simply arranged a series of combat missions.
These operational deployments had been reviewed countless times in Cao Hong's mind, but now Cao Hong just recounted them out of his mind, and the speed was of course extremely fast.
So before Yang Fu waited for the results of the battle between heaven and man in his mind, Cao Hong had already arranged all the combat missions.
When Cao Hong completed this step, it meant that Yang Fu had no possibility to speak.
Before arranging, he said that he was blocking it, it was for the sake of the country, and after the main general arranged it, he rashly overturned all his decisions, which is difficult not to make people think that Yang Fu was using it for public and private purposes.
Yang Fu could only sigh deeply in his heart in the end.
Yang Fu didn't sigh because of the uncertain future of Wei Jun, after all, he didn't have much doubt about Wu Yi's request to surrender in his heart, and his hesitation was just a matter of inner caution.
Yang Fu was sighing, why was the messenger so slow to go back and forth?
If the messenger can bring back the news of Cao Zhen in time, then whether it is fighting or retreating, all the consequences can be blamed on Cao Zhen in the future, which is the most ideal state in Yang Fu's heart.
But now that the dust has settled, what's the use of saying this?
Where is the messenger that Yang Fu has been thinking about?
For more than half a month, the messenger had just arrived outside the camp of the prosperous Wei army.
It was not that the messenger sent by Yang Fu was lazy, but because the Central Route Army and the Eastern Route Army were blocked by Yangping Pass, when the two armies exchanged news, the messenger had to cross the steep mountain road.
Coupled with the lack of news, the messengers sent by Yang Fu didn't know where Cao Zhen was now before they set off.
This kind of inconvenience in objective conditions caused the messenger to find Cao Zhen's location so slowly.
It's just that this messenger is still conscientious, and after coming to the camp of the prosperous Wei army, the messenger immediately identifies himself and asks the Wei army scouts to take him to see Cao Zhen.
After checking the identity of the messenger, the Wei scouts immediately took Yang Fu's messenger towards Cao Zhen's big tent.
Needless to say, Cao Zhen has been in a very bad mood recently, and when he heard that Yang Fu had a messenger coming, his mood was even worse.
If it was a serious official business, it should have been Cao Zhen who sent an envoy to come, but now it was Yang Fu's envoy who came to visit him.
Thinking of Yang Fu's identity as a protector, a reaction instantly appeared in Cao Zhen's heart - this is Yang Fu has something to impeach Cao Hong.
In Cao Wei's political environment, it was not uncommon for officials to impeach each other.
Don't say that it is between officials in an ordinary relationship, even if it is a confidant and friend in the past, it may one day become a sharp knife to harm you.
For example, Cui Yan, who is famous all over the world, died in this area.
Friends are still like this, not to mention that Cao Hong and Yang Fu have always been at odds.
Cao Zhen knew that such a thing would inevitably happen when Yang Fu was appointed as Cao Hong's protector, but he didn't expect that such a thing would come when he was in the worst mood.
The most infuriating thing is that Yang Fu's messenger can't be ignored by him, what if it really matters?
With a cold face, Cao Zhen met Yang Fu's messenger.
The moment the messenger Yang Fu saw Cao Zhen, the thread that had been tense in his heart finally relaxed.
After more than half a month of arduous trekking, I was finally able to meet the general.
Yang Fu's messenger did not delay, and he immediately sent Yang Fu's handwritten letter to Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen was a little bored and opened Yang Fu's letterhead and looked at it.
But before he could read it for a while, Cao Zhen was immediately shocked by the contents of the letterhead.
The Yangping guard asked Wu Yi to surrender, and Cao Hong intended to accept it.
When he knew about this, this matter was like a lightning bolt that pierced the dark sky, unraveling the biggest confusion in Cao Zhen's heart in recent days.
Why did Mi Yang suddenly dispatch Wei Yan's 5,000 troops to Yangping Pass.
Here's why!
Cao Zhen's skills are by no means below any famous generals in the world, and the reason why he couldn't understand this before was not because he was incompetent, but because he lacked key information in his hands.
Now when the key information fell into his hands, Cao Zhen naturally figured out many things.
If it weren't for Wei Yan's 5,000 army, Cao Zhen might have been suspicious of Wu Yi's request for surrender.
But now Cao Zhen knew that Wu Yi must have surrendered pretendedly.
even
Thinking of this suffocating point, Cao Zhen couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand and cough violently.
Autumn is coming, the weather is gradually getting colder, and Cao Zhen has been working in military affairs in recent days, resulting in some wind chills.
Now under the violent ups and downs of his mood, his condition was instantly affected.
Cao Zhen coughed violently, frightening the guards guarding him, and many of them ran to Cao Zhen and asked him about his status in an anxious tone.
In the face of the guard's inquiry, Cao Zhen didn't care about his condition, he was now like a roaring tiger, with red eyes and a loud command to the guard:
"Summoning Liu Shizhong quickly!"
Under Cao Zhen's eager urging, a personal guard immediately ran out of Cao Zhen's tent as fast as possible.
This sudden change directly frightened Yang Fu's envoy in place.
He just came to deliver a letter simply, how could he have expected that Cao Zhen would change so much after seeing the content of this letter.
Just when Yang Fu's messenger was trembling, Cao Zhen looked at him with a dangerous gaze.
Cao Zhen's cold eyes full of menace directly frightened Yang Fu's messenger to his knees.
Cao Zhen didn't care whether Yang Fu's messenger was afraid or not, he stretched out his somewhat trembling hand and pointed at Yang Fu's messenger and said, "You immediately turn back to Wujie and tell Yang Fu that no matter what, you must stop the hussar general from sending troops." ”
"Definitely!"
Cao Zhen's tone was full of sternness.
Cao Zhen's severity frightened Yang Fu's messenger to kowtow, and after kowtowing, he ran anxiously towards the outside of the big tent.
Although he has been very tired for more than half a month, Yang Fu Messenger is more afraid of his life than being tired.
Not long after Yang Fu's messenger rushed out, Liu Ye hurried to Cao Zhen's tent.
Liu Ye knew that Cao Zhen must have something important to summon him so urgently, so he didn't delay at all along the way.
When he saw Liu Ye coming to the front and back, Cao Zhen blurted out a sentence that made Liu Ye so frightened that he stopped saluting:
"Mi Yang is in Yangping Pass, Mi Yang is in Yangping Pass!"
Cao Zhen's tone was full of remorse.
He regretted why he hadn't seen through this sooner.
And after Liu Ye heard Cao Zhen's judgment, he was still in a state of confusion.
Although he had guessed that Mi Yang might not be in the ascendancy, but Hanzhong is so big and there are many fortresses, why must Cao Zhen be sure that Mi Yang is in Yangping Pass?
Is it just because of Wei Yan's 5,000 army?
Seeing that Liu Ye's face was confused, Cao Zhen got up and walked to Liu Ye and handed him the letter from Yang Fu in his hand.
Liu Ye immediately took the letter and read it.
After reading the contents of the letter, a look of horror appeared on Liu Ye's face.
The 5,000 elite Liangzhou army led by Wei Yan must reach Yangping Pass with great difficulty.
Wu Yi, the guard general of Yangping, suddenly asked Cao Hong to surrender.
Since the Wei army entered Hanzhong, Mi Yang has never really appeared in front of the Wei army.
When these three clues are connected together, it is not difficult to call out the truth of a matter - Wu Yi is a fraudulent surrender, Mi Yang is in Yangping Pass, and he suddenly ordered Wei Yan to lead 5,000 Han troops into Yangping Pass, in order to attack Cao Hong, who was fooled!
A truth that is certain, but it is difficult for Cao Zhen and Liu Ye to accept, is directly formed in their hearts.
Under this truth, how could Cao Zhen and Liu Ye not be shocked?
Mi Yang can be said to be the world's favorite famous general who loves to use deception, and he is on par with the famous general Zhou Yu of the year.
And most importantly, Cao Ren's bloody case has not dissipated for long.
Liu Ye suddenly understood Cao Zhen's purpose in looking for him.
Cao Zhen hoped that he could come up with a plan to resolve this crisis for the Central Route Army.
Liu Ye is also worthy of being a wizard in the world, before he couldn't judge Wei Yan's true purpose, but the information in his hands was insufficient, and now when he understood the true intentions of the Han army, but after a while, Liu Ye had a plan to offer:
"Don't worry, general."
"General Fang Cai has already asked the envoy of Yang Liangzhou to turn back, if the hussar general wants to lead the army to receive Yangping Pass, he will not be able to make the trip in a short time, maybe the envoy of Yang Liangzhou will have time to rush back before the hussar army sends troops."
Only then did Cao Zhen inform him that he hurriedly asked the Yang Fu messenger to turn around to stop Cao Hong.
It's just that when Liu Ye said this, he didn't have much confidence.
It's been more than half a month, and can I get back in three days?
He said this more for the purpose of comforting Cao Zhen.
After comforting Cao Zhen, Liu Ye immediately said: "Even if the messenger of Yang Liangzhou is not in time, the hussar army has already led the army to Yangping Pass.
But the hussar general is a person who knows the soldiers, and he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and the thief urgently summons Wei Yan 5,000 elite soldiers into Yangping Pass, and the strength of Yangping Pass must be far inferior to the hussar general.
In this case, there is no way for the thieves to completely annihilate our army. ”
"I expect that the purpose of the thieves is to win a big victory over our army to boost morale."
Hearing Liu Ye's analysis, Cao Zhen couldn't help but nodded.
Although he was at odds with Cao Hong, he also knew that Cao Hong was capable.
No matter how stupid Cao Hong is, he will not obediently lead tens of thousands of troops into the ambush circle of the Han army.
And as long as the Han army did not ambush the Wei army with the help of the dangerous terrain of the valley, with the number of thousands of Han troops, there was indeed no way to eat Cao Hong's tens of thousands of troops.
But this is only speculation, and it is too resigned to fate, and it is not safe.
So Cao Zhen continued to look at Liu Ye, hoping that he had a better way.
Under the gaze of Cao Zhen's eyes, Liu Ye's eyes flashed, and he said to Cao Zhenyan:
"Yangping Pass has always been the lifeline of the Han army, since the thief used this gate to lure the hussar general into the game, then our army can naturally use this gate to counteract the thief.
The general could order Fei Yao's troops outside Seoul to turn westward, and the general should personally raise the army to attack Yangpyeong Pass.
The thief did not have many troops in his hands, and in order to defeat the hussar general, he would definitely place most of his troops in front of the pass.
At this time, if our army suddenly attacks the back of Yangping Pass, it is possible to take the opportunity to take Yangping Pass.
No matter how dangerous the level is, if there are no soldiers guarding it, it is just a virtual existence. ”
When Liu Ye's plan came out, a bright light appeared in Cao Zhen's eyes.
Yes, in any case, the Wei army has preliminarily completed the encirclement of Hanzhong.
Under such a battle situation, Yangping Pass is actually attacked by the enemy, which cannot be changed no matter how tricky Mi Yang is.
And the Wei army can take advantage of this.
This is the principle of impermanence.
If the Wei army behind Yangping Pass can take advantage of Mi Yang's unpreparedness and capture Yangping Pass in one fell swoop, what if Cao Hong is defeated?
The value of Yangpingguan is immeasurable.
"Even if our army can't successfully capture Yangping Pass, as long as most of our army appears behind Yangping Pass, Mi Yang will definitely not dare to send too many troops to the front of the pass.
If there are not many troops, what danger will the hussar generals have? ”
The most important thing for the best strategy to succeed is to execute this step.
And the soldiers are the basic carriers for the implementation of the strategy, if the Wei army can attract most of the Han army to the pass, Mi Yang has a good strategy, it is just a piece of paper!
Liu Ye's strategy allowed Cao Zhen to leave all the troubles in his heart.
"Order the three armies, tomorrow dawn towards Yangping Pass at full speed!"
"The Han army can march quickly, and so can the lonely tiger!"
It is not yet known who will win or lose this battle.
