In the early morning of the next day, on the steep wall of the Sword Pavilion, two men in official robes stood watching the group of people below leave.

These two men, one with a gold seal and a purple ribbon, and the other with a copper seal and a black ribbon, represent their respective ranks.

The person with the bronze seal and black ribbon is Yang Yi, the prime minister's bookkeeper, and in front of him, apart from Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who else can be?

Yang Yi stared at Yu Quan and his party who were gradually moving away, and he asked with some hesitation: "Does the prime minister think that Sun Quan will follow the advice of Yu Tuo and Sun Huan to send troops to Huainan?" ”

Even if Zhuge Liang used two big killing moves against Yu Tuan and Sun Huan yesterday according to Mi Yang's intentions, making the two of them bow down to their lives, the military and political power in Jiangdong was still firmly in the hands of Sun Quan.

The fear of Yu Tuo and Sun Huan does not mean that Sun Quan will be afraid.

If Sun Quan insists on sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, then I am afraid that no one in the world can force Sun Quan to send troops.

Yang Yi's worries were really redundant in Zhuge Liang's opinion.

"Yes.

Because he is the lord of Jiangdong who is good at checks and balances and good at self-preservation. ”

Zhuge Liang's tone was quite determined.

The certainty in his heart stems from his understanding of Sun Quan.

For Sun Quan, the fundamental purpose of his recuperation is to use Jiangdong's power to ensure his own interests.

Mi Yang's two killer moves, although there are various theories in name, but in fact the information revealed is:

Maybe the Han will lose Liangzhou, but after the Han loses Liangzhou, he will definitely knock Jiangdong next, and by that time, who will perish first?

This deep meaning may be a bit of a scoundrel, but against a two-faced villain like Sun Quan, sometimes the scoundrel's approach will work wonders.

After Yu Fu and Sun Huan returned to Jiangdong, Sun Quan, who learned everything, could not be indifferent.

Even considering that this is Mi Yang's plan to kill people with a knife, Sun Quan will be happy to be the knife in Mi Yang's hand.

"Sun Quan will not only send troops, as I expected, he will do his best to send troops to the Northern Expedition next."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's judgment, Yang Yi was even more surprised.

"What's the explanation?"

Yang Yi believes that it is still unknown whether Sun Quan will send troops to the Northern Expedition, and even if Sun Quan sends troops to the Northern Expedition, with his style, he may send old and weak soldiers to make a show.

Seeing that Yang Yi still couldn't understand the reason, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but look a little disappointed.

Being appointed by Zhuge Liang as his master bookkeeper shows that he attaches great importance to Yang Yi's talent.

But perhaps Yang Yi is only good at planning and managing politics, and there are still a lot of deficiencies in national strategy and people's hearts.

This point is really incomparable with Mi Yang.

As soon as he thought of Mi Yang, the corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth couldn't help but show a little smile.

Whether it was the previous joint thought of the surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain, or the current singing double reed to coerce Sun Quan, it can fully prove that Mi Yang and him have a natural fit in many things.

This is a very happy thing for Zhuge Liang.

Although the phoenix chick is gone, there is still a white deer, and it has always been difficult to find a confidant.

It's just that Zhuge Liang didn't reveal his inner thoughts in front of Yang Yi, he just explained lightly:

"Because, Sun Quan is greedy."

After saying this, Zhuge Liang walked down the city wall.

Yang Yi, who stayed on the city wall, pondered Zhuge Liang's words carefully, and after a long time, Yang Yi's face showed a knowing smile.

That's right, Sun Quan is an extremely greedy person.

For a greedy person, since he can only choose the Northern Expedition, then he will definitely do his best to grab the greatest benefits for himself on the road of the Northern Expedition.

When he understood Zhuge Liang's deep meaning, Yang Yi couldn't help but look to the east.

The war in the northwest has not stopped, and the southeast is about to raise swords again, fighting on both sides, can Cao Wei stop it?

At the end of May of the fourth year of Han Zhangwu.

When the rainy season was approaching, Zhuge Liang finally finished all the preparations for the surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain in the Sword Pavilion.

This also indicates that a great tactic that the Han army has done is about to reappear among the mountains.

It's just that before ordering the army to set off, Zhuge Liang ordered tens of thousands of Han troops to walk out of the Sword Pavilion and set up camp a few miles away from Cao Hong's camp.

When Cao Hong learned the news from the scout's mouth, he couldn't believe the information he had received for a while.

After Cao Hong summoned the generals, he angrily slapped the military newspaper in his hand on the bookcase in front of him, and then roared and said:

"In just one year, where did the tens of thousands of troops come from in Yizhou?"

There is a reason why Cao Hong has such a big temper.

The military information he received before was that Zhuge Liang carried no more than 10,000 soldiers when he went south, even if Zhuge Liang successfully pacified Nanzhong now, but didn't Zhuge Liang have to divide his troops to stay in Nanzhong?

Okay, even if Zhuge Liang doesn't care about this, in less than a year, where did Zhuge Liang pull tens of thousands of troops from and call him directly in front of him?

Yang Fu sat at the top of the following, looking at Cao Hong, who was out of shape, he knew the answer in his heart.

Ji Han and Cao Wei are mortal enemies, as early as the Cao Cao era, Cao Cao spent a lot of energy to explore the reality of Yizhou.

And after investigating the truth and truth, Cao Cao once informed Cao Zhen in the town guard by secret letter that Yizhou's national strength was about at what level.

According to the information invested, if Yizhou raises troops to overwhelm the country, the total number of troops can reach about 80,000 at most.

During the Battle of Hanzhong that year, the total number of troops mobilized by Liu Bei was around this number.

It's just that this is the largest military force that Yizhou can break out, not a conventional military force, because Yizhou's national strength can't support the logistics expenses of so many large armies.

Don't look at the battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei won the victory, but that battle almost exhausted the national strength reserves accumulated by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, father and son, for more than ten years, otherwise when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army later, Yizhou would not have been without movement.

In addition to the influence of national strength, the reason why Yizhou rarely pours out the country's troops is that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's policy of governing Shu is to conduct a big war without delaying the people's livelihood as much as possible.

This is fundamentally different from Cao Wei's national policy - Ji Han pays attention to sustainable development.

Of course, it is precisely because of this national policy that the hearts of the people in Yizhou belong to Liu Bei.

Last year, Yizhou gave people the feeling that the army was not continuous, mainly because of the above two reasons.

But as a year passed, Ji Han's treasury regained its savings, and the Han army ended the dangerous two-front combat situation, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had the same desperate confidence as they did in the Battle of Hanzhong that year.

Yang Fu got up and told Cao Hong and the generals present about the inference in his heart.

And after saying these inferences, Yang Fu also came to a conclusion:

"Tens of thousands of thieves are approaching, although it looks imposing, but Yizhou only has the national strength of one state after all, how can it support the supply of grain, grass and military materials for tens of thousands of troops for a long time?

This is the reason why the enemy dog jumped over the wall.

Our army does not need to panic, as long as our army strictly guards the camp and does not let the thief army take advantage of it, although the thief army is numerous, it will collapse itself within a few months. ”

Yang Fu's judgment instantly aroused the approval of all the generals present.

Even after Cao Hong heard it, he felt that what Yang Fu said was very reasonable.

In fact, long before the official dispatch of troops to the south, Cao Zhen also considered that the Han army might ignore the south and the central part of the country and devote all its strength to support the north.

For this approach, Cao Zhen also has a corresponding countermeasure - dragging, competing with the Han army for national strength.

A year ago, if the Han army wanted to pour the troops of Yizhou to confront the Wei army, the huge logistical pressure, I am afraid that within three months, the Han army would collapse.

Now, even though the Han army had the foresight to choose to pacify Nanzhong first and accumulate a year's national strength before choosing this method, the essential disadvantage of the Han army has not changed.

It's nothing more than a three-month period that turns into six months, seven months.

In that case, what's there to panic about?

After calming everyone's military hearts, Yang Fu suggested to Cao Hong:

"The hussar general can send a letter to the general, informing the general that tens of thousands of reinforcements from Yizhou have been dragged by our army outside Yangping Pass, and I hope the general will not worry."

Yang Fu's suggestion spoke to Cao Hong's heart again, before he was defeated by Liu Feng, he had just been severely reprimanded by Cao Pi and Cao Zhen in a series of letters, and now it was time for him to redeem his merits.

So not long after, a hundred miles were sent out of Cao Hong's military camp in an expeditious manner.

Where are the Yizhou reinforcements?

"Confront" my army outside Yangping Pass.

Rest assured, General.

Work overtime tonight, a small chapter first.

Tomorrow 2 major chapters will be presented.
