Chapter 460: The situation is unfavorable and ingenious

A few days after Ren Xiang left Yangping Pass, the news that tens of thousands of Wei troops were rushing towards Yangping Pass was reported to Wu Yi by the scouts.

Since he learned it through the channel of scouts, it was naturally impossible to hide this news, and of course Wu Yi didn't want to hide it.

Soon, the news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing huge ripples in Yangping Pass.

Previously, when the news of the southern expedition of hundreds of thousands of Wei troops spread, Mi Yang also held a meeting in Nanzheng.

In that discussion, both Mi Yang and his generals believed that the Wei army would not make great efforts to attack Yangping Pass.

This judgment cannot be wrong, Cao Zhen did plan to do so at the beginning.

It's just that things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, which has led to the current situation.

Compared with Mi Yang, Wu Yi and others, most of the guards and soldiers in Yangping Pass, when they knew the news, because of Mi Yang's previous judgment, their first reaction was shocked.

No one would have doubted Mi Yang's personal judgment before.

No matter how strong a soldier is, he is also a human being, and when things are beyond their expectations, especially when this kind of thing represents great danger, people will naturally feel flustered.

Thanks to strict military discipline, this panic is more of a stirring in the mind than into dangerous concrete actions.

As the chief general of Yangping Pass, Wu Yi quickly noticed the unstable situation of the army in Yangping Pass.

After learning of this situation, Wu Yi privately begged Mi Yang to come forward to appease the military in Guannai.

After all, although there has been no movement in the Yangping Pass garrison now, Wu Yi knows that the army's unstable spirit has always been a taboo for soldiers.

And Wu Yi also knew that with Mi Yang's prestige, as long as he could show his face in front of the soldiers, then the current unstable military spirit would soon be pacified.

There is no doubt about that.

Wu Yi's worries Mi Yang were naturally clear, but Mi Yang did not agree to Wu Yi's request.

He rejected Wu Yi with the words "the time has not come".

Mi Yang's refusal had his own considerations, and seeing that Mi Yang was unwilling to explain, Wu Yi didn't dare to advise again, but just asked Mi Yang what he should do next.

Hearing Wu Yi's inquiry, Mi Yang naturally said, "Although Cao Hong has been lured by you today, he has also brought tens of thousands of elite Wei troops."

"At present, the total strength of our army in the pass is only 8,000, and we have to remove a part of the garrison force that cannot be transferred, and the only field army that our army can use is the 5,000 army brought by Wen Chang.

5,000 against tens of thousands, if it is an upright battle, our army will definitely not be Cao Hong's opponent.

If you want to defeat Cao Hong's tens of thousands of Wei troops, it is only possible to achieve miraculous results by ambushing with the help of the dangerous terrain of Yangping Pass.

And this dangerous terrain, Yangping Pass has never been lacking.

You can send a messenger out of the city to contact Cao Hong and make an appointment with him on a date for the joint uprising.

On that day, you will first lead 2,000 elite soldiers out of the city to pretend to meet him, and I will let Wen Chang ambush 3,000 troops in the surrounding mountains.

After Cao Hong lowers his guard and enters the ambush circle with you, you can suddenly raise troops to attack his Chinese army, and Wen Chang will also lead the ambush soldiers to rush down with you at the right time.

If you have a calculation or not, the Wei army's formation will definitely be flustered, and the terrain is favorable to our army, so it will not be difficult to defeat Cao Hong."

Speaking of which, while Mi Yang said the specific tactics in his heart, he also said his plan for this battle.

As Liu Ye expected, Mi Yang's goal was not to completely annihilate Cao Hong's entire army, and in the absence of sufficient troops, the idea of completely annihilating Cao Hong's army was not realistic.

The reason why Mi Yang wanted to lure Cao Hong to lead the army was essentially to win a big victory over Cao Hong to boost the morale of the army in Liangzhou.

Even if he is in Yangping Pass, with the presence of Si Wencao, Mi Yang's intelligence channel is not closed.

During this time, Mi Yang often received battle reports about the loss of the city.

Although those cities were not important, Mi Yang could see that this was the Wei army's anti-guest strategy.

I have to say

, Wei Jun's anti-guest-based strategy is effective.

Even if none of the current fortresses in Hanzhong have been lost, as more and more cities are lost, the Wei army's encirclement of Hanzhong is slowly forming.

The most important thing is that after this kind of news gradually spread, the hearts of the people in Liangzhou are also quietly changing.

People seek advantage and avoid disadvantage.

When he knew all this unfavorable information, how could Mi Yang not feel worried in private?

Just to appease people's hearts, he never showed a worried look on his face.

And a great victory over the Wei army was enough to reverse the current situation that was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Han army.

After listening to Mi Yang's tactics, Wu Yi nodded, Mi Yang's tactics were very appropriate.

But it's also very decent.

This made Wu Yi a little disappointed in his heart.

Mi Yang's fame relied on a conspiracy, Wu Yi thought that Mi Yang would arrange a conspiracy that shocked the world in this war, but it didn't.

Maybe it's because the expectations for Mi Yang in my heart are too high, so Wu Yi feels this way.

Wu Yi secretly dispelled this inhumane caution in his heart, and then got up and went to arrange everything outside the tent.

Not long after Wu Yi left, Mi Yang's henchman Wang Hong walked in anxiously.

Seeing Wang Hong enter with an anxious look, a bad intuition appeared in Mi Yang's heart.

Wang Hong is his earliest personal minister, and after the establishment of Si Wencao, Mi Yang made Wang Hong the long history of Si Wencao.

Wang Hong's ability is average, but his loyalty is speechless.

For Mi Yang'an's *** Si Wencao's people, he didn't care about anything.

Under Wang Hong's sensibility and the assistance of those good assistants, Wang Hong will also manage Si Wencao in an orderly manner.

Since Wang Hong is currently the intelligence leader of Liangzhou, Mi Yang usually takes Wang Hong with him wherever he goes, which is also the reason why Mi Yang can grasp first-hand information at any time.

In the past, the war reports of losing cities and lands were collected by Wang Hong and personally sent to Mi Yang.

Therefore, when Wang Hong entered with another piece of information in his hand and an anxious face, Mi Yang's first reaction was-which city was lost?

Mi Yang hurriedly beckoned and asked Wang Hong to present the information in his hand.

When Mi Yang unfolded the information in his hand and looked at it, the worry in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and it directly appeared on his face.

Even in that worried look, there was a little surprise.

There are masters in the Wei army!

But Mi Yang quickly regained his composure, and he commanded Wang Hong in a low tone, "Quickly summon Wu Yi, Fa Miao, Lu Yi, and Wei Yan."

Although Mi Yang did not show great eagerness, Wang Hong did not dare to delay at all, and after he bowed to Mi Yang, he hurriedly walked out of the big tent.

Under Wang Hong's summoning, Wu Yi was the first to return to the big tent, and he hadn't gone far at all.

Wu Yi didn't understand why Mi Yang suddenly summoned him back, but after he entered the big tent, Mi Yang just asked him to sit down first, and didn't say anything else.

So Wu Yi could only hold back the doubts in his heart for the time being.

After a while, the three of Fa Miao also came to the big tent one after another.

When Wu Yi and the four of them arrived, they couldn't help but look at each other.

In order to prevent the news of his presence in Yangping Pass from leaking out, Mi Yang rarely took the initiative to gather the four of them at the same time.

Mi Yang's abnormal behavior today made them instantly realize that Mi Yang must have something important to discuss with them.

Sure enough, when the four of them were seated, Mi Yang informed Wu Yi and the four of them of the news he had just gotten.

Mi Yang received the news that Fei Yao and Cao Zhen quickly led their troops to Yangping Pass.

When Wu Yi and the four of them learned the news, they were not as calm as Mi Yang, and their faces showed something very surprised.

The reason why Cao Hong suddenly led the army to Yangping Pass, the four of them knew the reason for the interior.

But what about Cao Zhen, and that Fei Yao?

Didn't they take Yangping Pass as their main target in the first place, why did they suddenly stop attacking other cities and lead their troops to Yangping Pass instead?

This unexpected news made Wu Yi and the four deeply puzzled, but also made them very worried.

On the surface, Cao Hong and Cao Zhen seemed to have planned in advance, and marched towards Yangping Pass together.

This idea made a guess emerge in the hearts of Wu Yi and the four of them - could it be that Cao Hong saw through their plan, so he deliberately planned and invited Cao Zhen to send troops to attack Yangping Pass?

Wei Yan had an impatient personality, and he quickly told Mi Yang what he had guessed in his heart.

After listening to Wei Yan's speculation, Mi Yang pondered for a while, but shook his head.

To be honest, he had guessed so at first.

But there is one fact that allows Mi Yang to rule out this speculation.

It is a fact that the transportation of the world is extremely backward.

Cao Hong's Central Route Army and Cao Zhen's Eastern Route Army were blocked by Yangping Pass, and if they wanted to make contact, they had to send messengers across the rolling mountains.

In the rolling mountains, Cao Wei could not use the best horses, so he could only walk on foot.

In addition, just after the rainy season, many roads on the Hanzhong Mountain Road are muddy and difficult to navigate, if the army can still gather the strength of the group to overcome this difficulty, how many people can be credible at most?

Under these unfavorable objective conditions, there was a delay of at least 10 days in the information contact between Cao Hong and Cao Zhen.

This is also one of the important reasons why Wei Yanneng led the army to break through before.

As for Cao Hong and Cao Zhen agreeing on the date of entering the army in advance, this is even more impossible.

Before Cao Hong made up his mind to march into Chaoyang Pingguan, Wu Yi had been pulling with him for a long time.

Even if Cao Hong and Cao Zhen set a date for marching together in advance, they must at least get Wu Yi's accurate message.

And Ren Xiang brought back Wu Yi's accurate message so far, and the time has only been a few days.

But since Mi Yang was able to receive the news of Cao Zhen's troops, it proved that Cao Zhen had started to march rapidly a few days ago, and the time of the two sides was not right at all.

Judging from this, Mi Yang did not think that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen marched towards Yangping Pass together, but it was planned in advance, let alone that Cao Hong saw through his attempt.

Mi Yang is more inclined to the judgment that there are masters in Cao Wei.

After all, in the world, in terms of talent reserves, Cao Wei still deserves to be the first.

Perhaps there was a great talent with a keen sense of smell who sensed the purpose of his sudden and urgent transfer of Wei Yan's 5,000 elite troops into Yangping Pass.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Wu Yi's suggestion was approved by Fa Miao and others, and even Wei Yan, who had always advocated attacking, did not speak out against it at this time.

Perhaps ordinary people would think that they could quickly lure Cao Hong into an ambush circle before Cao Zhen's army arrived, and then concentrate on guarding Yangping Pass after defeating Cao Hong's army, but this will not work.

Because Cao Hong is not a fool.

Although Cao Hong's army is now not far from Yangping Pass, Cao Hong will still have to set up camp after arriving outside Yangping Pass.

The most important thing is that Wu Yi said to Cao Hong in the letter in order to delay time, that after the arrival of the hussar general's army, the matter of dedication would have to be planned in detail.

Under this tone, if Wu Yiru suddenly changed his attitude and became anxious, Cao Hong would definitely wake up.

In addition, Cao Zhen's army may not arrive in a few days, but Fei Yao's army, which was originally leading the army outside Seoul, will appear behind Yangping Pass at the latest.

Yangpingguan is too important to Dahan!

None of you here want to risk losing Yangpingguan.

Wu Yi saw that Mi Yang did not agree immediately after listening to his suggestion, and he thought that Mi Yang did not want to give up this great opportunity, so he thought about speaking again.

Before Wu Yi's words could be spoken, Mi Yang nodded and responded, "What Gong Wu said is reasonable."

Seeing Mi Yang expressing this attitude, several people present couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But Mi Yang's next sentence made Wu Yi and the others stunned directly.

"Our army may have lost a good opportunity to attack Cao Hong's army, but what about Cao Zhen's army that has come from thousands of miles?"

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.

In the eyes of Wu Yi and others, judging that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen were not colluding is not of much use to the current war situation.

Because Yangpingguan will fall into the situation of being caught between the two armies at any time.

But for Mi Yang, this is not the case.

Because this means that Cao Hong and Cao Zhen don't know each other's purpose!

Isn't this an opportunity for the Han army?
