Chapter 461: Impermanence Cao Hong retreated
When Mi Yang said that he wanted to defeat Cao Zhen's army, Wu Yi and the others present couldn't understand Mi Yang's deep meaning for a while.
Facing the danger of being attacked by the enemy on both sides, isn't it the best choice to stick to Yangping Pass at the moment?
Wu Yi quickly asked the question in his heart.
After hearing Wu Yi's question, Mi Yang replied with a smile: "Cao Zhen and Fei Yao's two armies suddenly marched towards Chaoyang Pingguan, thinking about how they learned about the matter between our army and Cao Hong, his purpose is mainly to deter our army and prevent our army from making any rash moves. ”
"Of course, if our army shows a flaw, I think Cao Zhen's army will launch a fierce attack on Yangping Pass as Wu Gong expected."
"Since we have roughly judged the intentions of Cao Zhen and Fei Yao's army, then our army can calculate it."
"What Wu Gong is worried about is nothing more than that if our army concentrates on dealing with Cao Hong, then there will be emptiness after the pass, and if our army concentrates on dealing with Cao Zhen, then there will be emptiness before the pass.
But what if one of the two armies suddenly leaves? ”
Hearing Mi Yang's words, the four Wu Yi present were stunned again.
If one of the armies leaves suddenly, then the Han army in Yangping Pass can concentrate on one place and have no worries.
But how do you do that?
The four people present looked at Mi Yang one after another.
Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Mi Yang smiled and continued: "Cao Zhen marched to Yangpingguan for Cao Hong, so he would definitely not retreat without knowing that Cao Hong's army had retreated safely.
Cao Hong's army was not, they didn't know that Cao Zhen's army was about to arrive at Yangping Pass.
If I take the initiative to expose some flaws at this time, let Cao Hong be vigilant, or even take the initiative to let Cao Hong notice that I am in Yangping Pass, do you think Cao Hong will immediately lead the army to leave? ”
Does this need to be asked?
The reason why Cao Hong is willing to believe in Wu Yi's request to surrender is that he believes in Wu Yi's sincerity, and second, doesn't he see that Mi Yang is not in Yangping Pass now?
If Cao Hong knew that Mi Yang was now in Yangping Pass, as long as Cao Hong was not brain-dead, he would react instantly, Wu Yi's invitation to surrender was a scam.
And with the case of Cao Ren being deceived and surrendered in the past, does Cao Hong still dare to watch Yangpingguan?
Naturally, I wouldn't dare.
Because ordinary people will think that since Mi Yang is in Yangping Pass, then there must be heavy troops gathered in Yangping Pass.
The terrain of Yangping Pass is famous all over the world, and after learning that Mi Yang led a heavy army to defend the pass, who would be stupid to let the soldiers die in vain.
Moreover, Yangping Pass was not in the Wei army's attack plan in the first place, so after learning that Wu Yi's request to surrender Yangping Pass was a deception, Cao Hong was very likely to lead his army to quickly retreat and attack Qishan instead.
At most, before leaving, he scolded a few words of Mi Yang's treachery.
Under Mi Yang's words, the four people present quickly understood Mi Yang's meaning.
If Cao Hong's army retreated, wouldn't the enemy in Yangping Pass be Cao Zhen alone?
A smile gradually appeared on the faces of Wu Yi and the others.
If they were flanked from the front and back, they would naturally be worried about the safety of Yangping Pass, but if they only faced Cao Zhen's army, then with the 8,000 Han troops in the pass, they would not be worried.
However, this only ensures the safety of Yangping Pass, and does not mean that Cao Zhen's army can be defeated.
Seeing that Wu Yi and the four of them had doubts on their faces again, Mi Yang quickly solved their doubts.
"Don't forget one thing, between Cao Hong and Cao Zhen's army, there is no communication at all times, which means that Cao Hong's army will not know about the retreat of Cao Hong's army.
As long as he doesn't know about this, then in his heart, he will always think that our army is still in a situation of being attacked by his army on both sides, which will make Cao Zhen have the heart of underestimating the enemy.
In addition, Cao Zhen originally came to rescue Cao Hong's army, if our army released a message to Cao Zhen that it was ambushing Cao Hong's army, Cao Zhen would definitely not die without help. ”
"Attacking the enemy first attacking the heart, Cao Zhen's army has both the heart of the enemy and the heart of care, why is it difficult for our army to defeat by virtue of the terrain of Yangping Pass?"
When Mi Yang said the plan in his heart, Wu Yi and the four felt as if a new world appeared in their minds.
Before, the four of them were immersed in the dilemma of how to divide their troops to resist the two Wei armies, and only Mi Yang jumped out of this dilemma, like a trader on the outside, and opened a new way out for the Han army with a novel idea.
Mi Yang is using his unique ideas to profoundly explain to the four people present what is the truth of impermanence.
To do this, you must be open-minded.
Wu Yi looked at Mi Yang, who was full of confidence, and his face was particularly flushed.
That's right, Mi Yang, who has this kind of thinking, should be the Bailu General who is famous for his good and clever schemes.
Seeing that none of the four people present objected to his idea, Mi Yang opened his mouth for the four people present and instructed them to take up their respective tasks one by one.
No matter how good the idea is, it depends on whether the specific implementation steps will go wrong.
And this is to see Wu Yi and the four of them.
After Cao Hong led 30,000 Wei troops to a plain more than ten miles away from Yangping Pass, he ordered the whole army to start camping.
The distance of more than ten miles from Yangping Pass is actually not conducive to the implementation of the plan between him and Wu Yi.
However, if he continued to lead the Wei army forward, then the Wei army would gradually enter the steep mountain road, and such terrain conditions were not conducive to the operation of the large corps.
Cao Hong's psychology is ambivalent.
On the one hand, he was willing to believe in Wu Yi, so he led the army to the outside of Yangping Pass.
But as he got closer and closer to Yangping Pass, the doubts in Cao Hong's heart, which had been suppressed by him, began to gradually recover.
Don't look at how he swore in front of the generals, but Cao Ren's case has always been like a mountain pressing on his heart, and he still has doubts about Wu Yi's request to surrender in his heart.
Otherwise, he would not have made such a request to Wu Yi.
And it was this ambivalence that made Cao Hong choose to camp on open terrain.
This at least ensured the safety of the Wei army.
After setting up camp, Cao Hong has been waiting for the arrival of Wu Yi's envoy in the big tent.
According to his previous agreement with Wu Yi, when Wu Yi learned the news that he was leading his army, Wu Yi would take the initiative to send an envoy to contact him.
There was no surprise at this, and on the second day, Wu Yi's envoy quietly came to the outside of the Wei army's camp to ask for an audience.
After learning of the arrival of Wu Yi's envoy, Cao Hong hurriedly summoned him.
When Wu Yi's envoy saw Cao Hong, he immediately took out Wu Yi's letter from his bosom and presented it to Cao Hong.
Cao Hong originally accepted Wu Yi's letter with a normal face, but when he saw the content of Wu Yi's letter, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch a few times.
It's just that Cao Hong didn't let his face continue to change, he pretended to be casual and read the content of the letter in his hand, and then asked Wu Yi's envoy to retreat first.
After Wu Yi's envoy left, Cao Hong immediately summoned Ren Xiang.
Ren Xiang came to Cao Hong soon after.
Ren Xiang guessed that Cao Hong might have summoned him because of Wu Yi's affairs, so he thought that Cao Hong's face should be happy, but he didn't expect that when he saw Cao Hong, he saw Cao Hong frowning.
In front of Ren Xiang, Cao Hong did not hide his true emotions.
And the reason why he frowned was that he saw a trace of danger from Wu Yi's letter.
Previously, he made an agreement with Wu Yi that after he led the army to Yangping Pass, the two would continue to discuss the matter of offering customs in the coming day.
However, in Wu Yi's letter today, Wu Yi's tone was quite eager, as if he hoped that he would quickly lead the army into the mountain road.
The huge change in Wu Yi's attitude before and after made Cao Hong, who was already suspicious, even more uneasy.
After Cao Hong saw Ren Xiang coming, he told him his suspicions about Wu Yi in his heart.
After listening to Cao Hong's suspicions, even Ren Xiang couldn't help but doubt Wu Yi.
You must know that when he negotiated with Wu Yi before, Wu Yi's attitude was quite ambiguous and hesitant, but now he suddenly became anxious, how to see how there are ghosts.
Just a letter alone is not enough to conclude that Wu Yi's request for surrender must be fraudulent.
After all, Cao Hongdu led the army to Yangping Pass, and he was so sure in front of the generals before, but now if he suddenly gave up Yangping Pass because of suspicion, it would be a big blow to his prestige.
So Cao Hong wanted Ren Xiang to enter Yangping Pass again and continue to explore the reality in the pass.
Ren Xiang is Cao Hong's brother-in-law, and of course he will not refuse Cao Hong's order.
After bidding farewell to Cao Hong, he quickly came to Yangping Pass.
Since it was not the first time that Ren Xiang had come to Yangping Pass, he quickly met Wu Yi with ease.
Wu Yi seemed a little surprised and panicked by Ren Xiang's arrival, but he soon showed a look of joy on his face.
Wu Yi continued to invite Ren Xiang to live in the Guannei, and in order to show his importance to Ren Xiang, he chose to sleep with Ren Xiang at night.
If it was before, Ren Xiang's behavior towards Wu Yi would not be surprising.
But Ren Xiang came with suspicion, and the panicked look on Wu Yi's face today was noticed by him, so now Ren Xiang inevitably felt that Wu Yi's act of sleeping in the same bed was not a kind of attention, but a kind of surveillance.
Under this kind of thought, even in the middle of the night, Ren Xiang has never really fallen asleep.
On the contrary, Wu Yi beside him was snoring like thunder.
It's just that all this was ruined by the sound of the second watch in the gate.
When the second watch drum sounded, Wu Yi's snoring immediately stopped.
Ren Xiang hadn't fallen asleep, and this abnormal scene made him even more vigilant.
Sure enough, Ren Xiang, who was closing his eyes, felt the movement of Wu Yi next to him getting up, and after Wu Yi got up, he also tried to push Ren Xiang a few times, as if to check whether he was asleep.
In the face of Wu Yi's temptation, Ren Xiang pretended not to know and continued to pretend to be asleep.
Seeing that Ren Xiang seemed to be really asleep, Wu Yi crept outside the tent, and then some small whispers came into the tent.
After Ren Xiang heard this whisper, where was he still in the mood to continue pretending to be asleep, he hurriedly got up and secretly came to the inside of the tent door to eavesdrop on the conversation between Wu Yi and the visitor.
Since there was only a curtain apart, Ren Xiang finally heard the conversation between Wu Yi and the visitor.
But the first words he heard made Ren Xiang almost scared to death.
That sentence is Wu Yi respectfully called the person who came "Mu Bo." ”
At present, who can be called Mu Bo by Wu Yi in Liangzhou, except for Mi Yang?
Ren Xiang instantly realized a terrible fact, Mi Yang was now in Yangping Pass.
When he realized this, many terrible conjectures poured into Ren Xiang's heart at once, making him almost fall to the ground in fright.
And just when Ren Xiang was frightened, Wu Yi's next sentence proved the terrible conjecture in Ren Xiang's heart:
"Mu Bo rest assured, my Guan is full of elite soldiers, and Cao Hong is defenseless, as long as he dares to lead the army into the Yangping Pass Mountain Road, I will make him blood splash three feet!"
After saying this, Wu Yi said some more words to Mi Yang, but Ren Xiang couldn't listen to these words, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly returned to the couch and pretended to sleep again.
Everything is a scam!
A scam like the Battle of Xicheng that could cut off tens of thousands of Wei troops!
Thinking of this, Ren Xiang, who was lying on the couch, was so frightened that his body trembled slightly.
It's just that the shaking of his body stopped abruptly after Wu Yi came back not long after.
After Wu Yi returned to the couch, he called Ren Xiang softly a few times for safety, and saw that he did not respond, so he fell asleep again with peace of mind.
With Wu Yi's loud snoring, Ren Xiang didn't sleep at all this night.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ren Xiang said goodbye to Wu Yi.
Regarding Ren Xiang's farewell, Wu Yi pretended to save a few words and agreed.
It's just that when Ren Xiang turned around, Wu Yi looked at Ren Xiang's back, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a smile.
Ren Xiang returned to the Wei army camp as fast as he could in his life, and then he immediately asked to see Cao Hong.
The moment he saw Cao Hong, Ren Xiang didn't even have time to salute, so he panicked and told Cao Hong the truth he had discovered:
"Mi Yang is in Yangping Pass!"
There is no need to tell too much about what happened last night, just this sentence alone directly made Cao Hong stand up from his seat in shock.
Now Cao Hong's mind keeps echoing Ren Xiang's words:
Mi Yang in Yangping Pass?
Cao Hong is a stupid person, this news alone is enough to make Cao Hong understand all the truth in an instant.
With Mi Yang's prestige and intelligence, can Wu Yi surrender under his nose?
This is simply absurd.
At this moment, Cao Hong couldn't help but think of the battle of Xicheng that made his heart ache.
In that battle, his good brother, Cao Ren, the pillar of Cao Wei, was killed in battle.
Such a tragic result made every minister of Cao Wei feel sad.
Now when he knows that Mi Yang wants to repeat his old tricks, what does Cao Hong feel in his heart?
How else can you feel!
With Mi Yang's means, once he sets up a killing situation, he must be fully prepared.
If you want to protect yourself, the only way to keep yourself from stepping into this killing situation.
A moment later, Cao Hong's mouth shouted loudly:
"Quickly gather the generals, and you must retreat!"
At this moment, the beautiful imagination of winning Yangping Pass was all gone in Cao Hong's heart.
Cao Hong now has only one thought in his heart - far away from Yangping Pass, the farther away the better!
There is one more chapter in the morning.
