Is Mi Yang doing now?

What a hammer.

Although he had just achieved a big victory not long ago, this victory did not deal a devastating blow to the main army of the Wei army.

The victory at Yangping Pass was a severe defeat to the Wei army's spirit, but at the same time, because Cao Zhen suffered an unspeakable injury, that victory was also regarded by Cao Zhen as a great shame in his life.

When Cao Zhen returned to Xingshi under the escort of the army, Cao Zhen recuperated his wounds in the camp on the one hand, and strictly ordered the Wei army to continue to attack the cities of Hanzhong.

Since Cao Zhen does not plan to withdraw from the army, then regardless of public or private, Cao Zhen's next combat strategy is only this one.

The morale of the Wei army was greatly affected, but the difference in strength between the Han and Wei armies did not change.

Under the huge gap in strength, coupled with Cao Zhen's almost impersonal urging to attack the city, in the past two months, more and more cities have fallen.

And what made Mi Yang feel the most resentful was that after Cao Zhen captured Chenggu, in order to deter the people in Hanzhong County, he carried out a three-day massacre of Chenggu!

When Mi Yang learned the news, he angrily overturned the table in front of him.

The slaughter of the city was a common method used by the Wei army, and Mi Yang's hometown of Xuzhou was once the victim of it.

"Hundreds of thousands of men and women are killed, there are no chickens and dogs, and Surabaya does not flow, and it is the protection of the five counties, and there is no trace of repetition."

This is a clear record of the Wei army's methods of slaughtering the city in the history books.

From this account, we can see how angry and resentful the methods of the Wei army were.

Otherwise, when Cao Cao went south, why were hundreds of thousands of people so frightened that they wanted to go south to Jiangling with Liu Bei?

According to the information obtained by Mi Yang, Chenggu County also faced the tragedy of "no chickens and dogs, no traces" not long ago.

The army slaughtered the city in the world, or in the history of China, and the Wei army was not the only one.

Historically, the army slaughtered the city, on the one hand, to intimidate the enemy's people and make them dare not regain the spirit of confrontation, and on the other hand, to boost their own morale.

After all, during the massacre of the city, all military discipline is invalid, and the army can wantonly burn and loot in the city, which can greatly satisfy the beastly nature of the army.

Since more than one army has done this kind of thing in history, the Wei army's method of slaughtering the city was not without supporters in the world.

Even in later generations, there are some black-hearted scholars who believe that the Wei army's slaughter of the city was a helpless move.

But Mi Yang is a traverser, whether it is the education he received in later generations, or the conduct of being a Ji Han person in the world, he has extreme indignation at the Wei army's slaughter of the city!

The three families are fighting for their own ideals in their hearts, this is not wrong, Ci is not in charge of the army, and it is understandable how many casualties there are in the war, but how can the unarmed people be innocent?

Moreover, the Wei army is also a Chinese people, and they actually waved the butcher's knife at their own people, which is even more frustrating!

When he learned that the Wei army had slaughtered the city in Chenggu, due to the indignation in his heart, Mi Yang gritted his teeth and said an oath in front of Fa Miao and others:

"Gu Jin swears by Han Shui, if Gu Jin can't return blood to blood in this life, so that the Cao family will cut off the incense, then Gu Jin will not enter the Mi clan temple after his death."

When they heard Mi Yang's oath, Fa Miao and the other courtiers all showed surprise on their faces.

It is sacred to swear by a famous river in the world.

Once a person does this, he cannot break this oath for the rest of his life, or he will fall into the verbal criticism of people for generations.

Even the Son of Heaven is not immune to this.

In particular, Mi Yang swore on the condition that "death cannot enter the temple", which is in the world with a strong family concept, and such an oath makes Mi Yang have no room for turn.

No one can accept the serious consequences of not entering the temple after death.

And most importantly, there is an important concept in the world, and that is the discontinuity of existence.

That is to say, even if the Han Dynasty can defeat Cao Wei and regain the world in the end, then according to the concept of intermittent survival, the son of heaven of the Han family must leave a trace of blood for the Cao clan to inherit the incense.

However, Mi Yang's oath obviously violates the tacit rules in the hearts of the people of the world, which is undoubtedly a challenge to the values of the world, and will make Mi Yang be discussed by many scholars in the future.

Even in later generations, there will definitely be some scholars who have the mentality of a saint and criticize Mi Yang's behavior.

But Mi Yang didn't care.

An eight-foot man standing in the world, he must have a view of right and wrong in his heart, if he cares about the concept of right and wrong in his heart because he is afraid of some public criticism, such a cowardly behavior, Mi Yang disdains it.

If he has the ability, Cao Wei can kill him, otherwise once he is allowed to do something in the future, Cao Wei's clan relatives will inevitably pay the price they deserve for the evil things they have done in the past.

It's not impossible to survive intermittently, but this should only belong to the warmth between human beings, and why do those well-dressed beasts enjoy such political privileges?

Fa Miao and the others saw how resolute Mi Yang's heart was from Mi Yang's oath, so they didn't dissuade Mi Yang.

The oath has already been issued, how can you dissuade it?

As Mi Yang's henchmen, when Mi Yang made such an oath, all they could do was to work together with Mi Yang for the goal in his heart.

When they become a member of the Miyang political faction, this is the best portrayal of the relationship between them and Miyang.

Of course, there is still a problem with Mi Yang's oath, that is, even if the Han can defeat Cao Wei and regain the mountains and rivers in the future, then the disposal of Cao Wei's clan does not seem to be something that he, a courtier, can decide.

This may have been a problem before, but after Liu Bei's edict arrived not long ago, it was not enough to bother people.

That edict was the edict of Liu Bei to worship Mi Yang as a general.

When this edict was sent to Yangping Pass, the most excited were Mi Yang's subordinates.

Even if he is only a general now, how can Liu Bei's intentions be concealed from Fa Miao?

As long as Mi Yang can win this battle, then he will become the second general of the Jin Han Dynasty.

This is a great general!

What is climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and glorifying the ancestors, isn't this it?

Fa Miao and other subordinates of Mi Yang felt that their future was becoming more and more promising.

And not only Fa Miao and others have this kind of thought, when Liu Bei's edict spread throughout Liangzhou, there must be many people who have the same idea as them.

The position of a left general is not enough to add credibility to Mi Yang's oath, but the position of a great general is completely sufficient.

After all, everyone in the world knows that Liu Bei is old, and he can continue to be in charge of the Han for a few years?

Once the young lord of Japan comes to the court, the political significance of the status of the general is enough to excite people.

Even if Liu Bei will appoint Zhang Fei as the Great Sima to contain Mi Yang in the future, coupled with the existence of Zhuge Liang, Mi Yang will not be able to fully exert the power of the general.

But Mi Yang has a huge advantage, which Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang can't compare - he is only in his twenties this year.

Isn't this advantage enough?

There are many things that don't need to be broken.

It's just an oath to an oath, and the deterioration of the current war situation in Hanzhong is not only reflected in Chenggu City.

Although the way the Wei army slaughtered the city was deeply disgusting, it has to be said that the way of slaughtering the city was effective.

Cao Zhen didn't just make the move to slaughter the city just to vent his inner anger.

After the tragedy experienced by Chenggu spread throughout Hanzhong, some people were indignant, and naturally some people were afraid.

Fearful in their hearts, many Hanzhong cities surrendered directly to the Wei army in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

Even Lecheng, which was extremely important to the Han army, was among these cities.

The loss of Lecheng directly made the battle situation in Hanzhong take a sharp turn.

Lecheng is an important town of Gongwei Xingshi, and when Lecheng is lost, it is only a matter of time before the Wei army surrounds and prospers.

Once the momentum is lost, then Nanzheng will also face the siege of the Wei army.

And not only the battle situation in Hanzhong became more and more sinister, but with Wang Hong's report, Mi Yang learned more and more bad news.

With the continuous strengthening of the Wei army's offensive, Ma Chao in Wudu County could only lead the Han army to withdraw from Wudu County and return to Yinping to defend because of the delay in receiving support.

The reason why Ma Chao would lead his troops into Wudu County to block the Wei army before was essentially to delay the Wei army's entry into Yinping as much as possible.

After all, with 3,000 soldiers and horses, it was not enough to defeat Guo Huai's tens of thousands of troops.

From this tactical goal, Ma Chao has always done a good job.

But Guo Huai is not an ordinary general.

He saw that it was difficult to defeat Ma Chao's department under a frontal onslaught, so he sent Chang Diao to detour through the territory of Wudu to hook up many Qiang leaders, and I have to say that this is a clever move.

Although due to Lu Yi's reminder, Ma Chao did not relax his vigilance in the rear.

But he had too few soldiers in his hands, and in such a situation he could not let his own living forces fall into a situation of being caught between two sides.

Fortunately, thanks to Lu Yi's reminder, Ma Chao was able to lead the troops out of Wudu County in time.

Under Guo Huai's strategy, it can be said that Ma Chao led the army to withdraw from Wudu County, which was an inevitable move.

With the withdrawal of Ma Chao's army, Wudu County was occupied by the Wei army soon after.

After capturing Wudu County, Guo Huai did not waste time, he led tens of thousands of troops all the way south to force Yinping.

From the latest information sent, it can be seen that Yinping has fallen into the situation of being besieged by the Wei army, which is what happened in the past few days.

In addition to the bad news in the west, Cao Wei's middle route army also had extraordinary moves.

Under Shi Bao's insistence, Qishan was not taken by Cao Hong's army.

However, Cao Hong saw that he could not storm Qishan for a long time, so he immediately changed his tactics, he left part of the army to continue to besiege Qishan, and then he led most of the remaining Wei army to march towards the Sword Pavilion.

Obviously, Cao Hong's sudden change in tactics must have been instructed by Cao Zhen.

In Cao Wei's three-way army, both the Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army had a certain number of losses in previous battles.

Only the Middle Route Army under the command of Cao Hong has the most complete structure and troops, which gives Cao Hong the confidence to divide the troops.

The reason why Cao Wei's Middle Route Army suddenly divided its troops was to cooperate with the actions of Guo Huai's Western Route Army.

It was only a matter of time before Guo Huai's army encircled Yinping, and the most important thing for the Wei army at the moment was to cut off any way for Yinping to get reinforcements.

And this was originally the strategic goal of Cao Hong's Middle Route Army at the beginning.

Once Cao Hong led the army to reach the outside of the Sword Pavilion, with the superior strength in his hands, not to mention whether he could take the Sword Pavilion, he could easily block the passage outside the Sword Pavilion.

At that time, don't say that Yinping can't get reinforcements, even if Zhuge Liang leads the army north to help after suppressing the Nanzhong rebellion, his army is likely to be blocked by the Wei army in the Sword Pavilion and will not be able to enter Hanzhong County.

Listening to the bad news reported by Wang Hong, Mi Yang felt as if the Han army had fallen into a desperate situation for a while.

Mi Yang knew that the actions of the Wei army's three-way army might not deal a fatal blow to the Han army in a short period of time.

But with the passage of time, the Han army, which is inferior in logistics and troops, will fall into a situation from which it will never recover.

Because the Han army can't afford to drag it out.

Up to half a year.

Once Mi Yang can't defeat the Wei army's three-way army within half a year, then he may really be martyred in the end.

The three-way encirclement is a kind of yang strategy that the Wei army came up with their strong national strength.

Mi Yang could see all the intentions of the Wei army, but he had no means of countermeasures in his hands.

At the beginning of this battle, Mi Yang had too few cards in his hand.

Now Mi Yang seems to feel the mood of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in history - he has the heart to beg the thief, but he can't do it!

Mi Yang's silence after listening to a series of information made Fa Miao and the others in the tent feel worried.

Even Mi Yang felt the tricky situation, what could they do?

Even at the beginning, they pressed all their hopes on Mi Yang's body, just like other people in the entire Han Dynasty at the moment.

This battle was originally difficult to fight, otherwise Cao Zhen would not have picked this opportunity to attack Hanzhong, otherwise Liu Bei would not have come up with a huge reward from the general to inspire people.

But if Mi Yang can't fight this battle, if even he is helpless, who else in the entire Han can turn the tide?

After a long silence, Mi Yang looked up and saw the uneasiness and panic on the faces of Fa Miao and the others.

Seeing this, Mi Yang suddenly laughed.

Yes, in today's sinister situation, anyone can be silent and hesitate, but only he cannot.

Because Liu Bei had already pressed the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty on him, and the people loyal to the Han family in the whole world also pressed their hopes on him, in this case, how could he hesitate?

Anyway, the worst-case scenario is nothing more than death.

Die for the ideal in his heart, Mi Yang has no regrets.

Just when the hope in the hearts of Fa Miao and the others gradually disappeared, Mi Yang stood up suddenly.

"Pass the order, tomorrow our army will march and go to Nanzheng."

When they heard Mi Yang's order, Fa Miao and the others suddenly raised their heads to look at Mi Yang.

Fa Miao, Lv Yi, Wei Yan, Wu Yi.

They are all high-ranking and powerful existences in Liangzhou, but they undoubtedly regard Mi Yang as the guiding light in their hearts now.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Mi Yang smiled with relief:

"Lone is now the general of the Great Han."

Only this firm sentence made Fa Miao and others re-realize the fighting spirit in Mi Yang's heart.

If you are a great general, how can you retreat?

And if Mi Yang doesn't flinch, then as courtiers, they will just fight to the death.

Fa Miao and the others also had smiles on their faces, and they bowed to their general.

No matter how difficult the battle is, there is no reason not to fight!
