After Sun Li left, the council in today's Wei army camp soon broke up.

After Yang Fu returned to his camp, Yang Fu, who was worried about the current situation, could not sit still.

Seeing Yang Fu like this, the cronies on his side said: "If Langjun is uneasy, it is better to wait for the hussar general later."

When I watched the discussion, the hussar general seemed to have something unspeakable. ”

Seeing that his cronies said this, Yang Fu also unconsciously remembered Cao Hong's face, and after thinking about it carefully, he did find something abnormal.

However, Yang Fu didn't think about anything else.

At present, in the entire camp, the most pressure may be Cao Hong.

The oath of Han water about Mi Yang had long been spread inside and outside Yangping Pass, and Cao Hong naturally learned about it when he captured some Han army scouts.

Perhaps before, Mi Yang's Han water oath was more like a joke in Cao Hong's eyes.

But with Mi Yang's defeat of Cao Zhen and the complete grasp of the initiative in the war, this Han Shui oath was like a rope, and Cao Hong was breathless.

The Hanshui oath is extremely sacred in the world, and Yang Fu doesn't think that there will be any shameless scholars in the world who will joke about the oath.

Therefore, Cao Hong would reject Sun Li's proposal, which was also expected by Yang Fu.

Guarding the barracks will provide at least temporary security.

Once the rash breakthrough fails, Sun Li and other Wei generals Mi Yang may surrender, and Cao Hong, a relative of the Cao family, will inevitably be thrown into the Han water by Mi Yang to wash away his previous sins.

Yang Fu, who felt that what his cronies said made sense, secretly made up his mind to visit Cao Hong again tonight.

Now he and Cao Hong are grasshoppers on a rope, and they must communicate well.

The sky darkened quickly, and after a while, the dark sky filled the sky above the Wei army camp.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yang Fu, accompanied by several entourages, walked towards Cao Hong's big tent.

As he got closer and closer to Cao Hong's big tent, Yang Fu soon noticed some anomalies.

Along the way, he met many new faces.

According to common sense, the closer the road is to the Great Horde, the more the Lord will generally arrange for his own personal guards to guard it.

In the past, Yang Fu had looked for Cao Hong many times, and most of Cao Fu's guards guarding the big tent were known to Yang Fu.

But tonight, most of the guards Yang Fu knew were not there.

This abnormality made Yang Fu's heart vigilant.

It didn't take long for Yang Fu to walk outside Cao Hong's big tent.

Yang Fu saw that Cao Hong's tent was pitch black, and his heart was even more suspicious.

At the moment when the Wei army was in danger, Cao Hong had not rested well for many days, and now it was just night, why did Cao Hong go to bed so early?

Due to the suspicion in his heart, Yang Fu did not leave, he directly recruited a nearby Wei soldier and asked him to enter to report to Cao Hong, saying that he had something important to report when he arrived.

Even if Cao Hong really rested, as Yang Fu, he was not afraid to wake Cao Hong up.

However, when this Wei soldier heard Yang Fu's order, he replied:

"The hussar general left the big tent in the afternoon, saying that he was going out to investigate the enemy."

After hearing this Wei Jun's report, Yang Fu felt a sigh in his heart.

He looked up at the dark sky, whose general went out to investigate the military situation and didn't return at night?

Yang Fu, who had a faint guess in his heart, was silent on his face.

He took a few followers and returned to the original way, but after walking to a hidden place, Yang Fu immediately said to several followers:

"Hurry up and go to Cao Ding, Cao Lin, Cao Xu and other generals to investigate outside the tent!"

Seeing Yang Fu's solemn face, several entourages were ordered to leave immediately.

Yang Fu, who returned to the tent alone, became even more restless because of the speculation in his heart.

It's just that he hasn't waited for his entourage to come back, so he can only keep pacing left and right in the tent.

Soon after, several members of the retinue returned from separate expeditions.

After several entourages returned, Yang Fu immediately asked them what they had discovered.

After several entourages informed him of the detected situation, Yang Fu stumbled directly and almost fell to the ground.

According to several entourage, the big tent of the Cao generals was also dark, and according to the Wei army on guard, those Cao generals all went out with a lot of dry food today to investigate the military situation.

After learning this, Yang Fu didn't know where Cao Hong was going to investigate the enemy's situation, and it was obvious that he left the army and ran away alone.

Otherwise, why did Cao Hong and several Cao generals go out to investigate the military situation together in one day?

Investigating the military is not a family outing, so what are you doing with these gentlemen?

And where are there those who go out to investigate the military situation, carry dry food and have not returned late at night!

After deducing this, Yang Fu didn't know how many sentences Cao Hong secretly cursed in his heart.

As the commander of an army, he left tens of thousands of troops to flee regardless of it, what can a person do?

Yang Fu, who was in shock, couldn't help but think of the battle that year, Cao Hong led the superior forces, and was almost scared away by Zhang Fei's hundreds of suspicious soldiers, if it wasn't for Cao Xiu's persuasion, I'm afraid Wudu County would have been Liu Bei's.

Thinking of Yang Fu, who thought of the past, and thought of the current things that were related to his life and death, the anger in his heart couldn't help but increase a little more.

But after being extremely angry, Yang Fu quickly regained his composure.

At this moment, his heart also had the idea of escaping.

Originally, the Wei army was in a desperate situation, and now Cao Hong, who is the main general, fled privately, once this matter spread in the Wei army camp, can the Wei army still be saved?

Definitely not.

Since there is no help, why do you stay?

Anyway, it was Cao Hong who ran first!

After thinking of this, Yang Fu immediately ordered a few entourages to pack up the ration of dry food.

After a few entourages packed up everything, Yang Fu took out a map and put it in his arms, and then took advantage of the night to walk towards the outside of the camp with a few entourages.

Tonight, too, he will go out to "spy on the enemy."

The night passed quickly, and after the three poles of the day, the generals saw that Cao Hong had unusually not convened them for a discussion today, which made them feel strange in their hearts.

Coupled with the fact that since today, there have been many deserters in the camp, and many Wei generals feel that they should report the matter to Cao Hong.

So several Wei generals soon came to Cao Hong's tent to see him.

However, these Wei generals received a reply, saying that Cao Hong had not returned since he went out to investigate the enemy situation yesterday.

After realizing this, these Wei generals were not stupid, and of course they quickly realized that something was wrong.

Regardless of whether Cao Hong really escaped, there is no doubt that his whereabouts are unknown.

And soon, this news began to spread wildly throughout the Wei army camp at a very fast speed.

Wei Jun was already in a state of panic, and when he learned the news, his mentality collapsed directly.

All of a sudden, a large number of deserters appeared, and they fled towards the surrounding mountains and forests.

For a time, a large number of evil soldiers appeared, and they grabbed the baggage and supplies in the camp one after another.

The entire Wei army fell into a state of collapse in an instant.

After Sun Li learned the news, he would lead his personal guards at first to try to stabilize the chaos in the camp.

But in this case, how can he do this with the strength of him and his guards?

Finally, after slashing and killing a wicked soldier, Sun Li couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "I think Emperor Wu is such a hero, his brother, but he is also a calf!"

After today, we will all be laughed at for a thousand years! ”

After looking up to the sky and sighing, Sun Li saw that he couldn't do anything, so he could only lead his guards to flee into the mountains and forests.

Inside Yangping Pass, Mi Yang was carefully looking at the map of Guanzhong.

A few days ago, he had already received the news that Liu Bei would personally recruit him, and what he had to do now was to come up with a good strategy for him to enter the army before Liu Bei arrived.

Wu Yi on the side saw that Mi Yang didn't care about the present, but began to think about the future, and he couldn't help but wonder:

"The general is not worried about Cao Hong leading the army to break through?"

Hearing Wu Yi's question, Mi Yang temporarily withdrew his gaze and looked at Wu Yi and asked:

"If I am defeated by Cao Zhen in the first battle of Nanzheng, and Cao Zhen leads the army to Yangping Pass to attack you before and after Cao Hong, will you choose to break through?"

Mi Yang's rhetorical question directly made Wu Yi stunned on the spot.

If Mi Yang is defeated by Cao Zhen, this news alone is enough to make his own army feel disheartened, plus his own side is flanked from front to back, then of course he will not choose to break through rashly.

Seeing that Wu Yi had no more doubts, Mi Yang said with a smile:

"For Cao Hong, in the past, he chose to avoid fighting, but today he is disqualified from fighting."

Mi Yang's words made Wu Yi let go of the worries in his heart.

Wu Yi has concerns, not that he doesn't believe Mi Yang's judgment, it's just that the fame in his heart is at work.

Waiting for the enemy army to defeat itself, how could he lead the army to break into the Wei army camp and capture Cao Honglai's great credit.

And Mi Yang is not worried about Cao Hong's breakthrough, in addition to the above reasons, but also because he has already made arrangements for this possibility.

The 30,000-strong army relied on the steep mountain roads to block the back roads of the Wei army layer by layer, as long as Cao Hong was in his right mind, he would not choose to break through from his side.

As for choosing to break through from the prime minister's side?

Even if Cheng Yuan did not have many troops in his hands, but under the blockage of the camp, even Mi Yang himself was not sure to break through Zhuge Liang's blockade.

If there were more useful soldiers, Sima Yi in history would have been in the camp of the Han army a long time ago.

Just when Mi Yang wanted to re-watch the map of Guanzhong, Wei Yan hurriedly came in from outside and reported to Mi Yang:

"General, Cao Hong abandoned the camp and fled, the thief army was disheartened, and the camp was in chaos.

The minister has taken the opportunity to seize the Wei army's camp, and has obtained numerous baggage and surrendered troops. ”

After hearing Wei Yan's report, Wu Yi's hand that was stroking his beard suddenly stopped, and even Mi Yang turned to look at Wei Yan in surprise.

If Cao Cao had come alive and knew about it, he would have smashed the coffin board in anger.

But Mi Yang quickly reacted from his surprise, and he immediately ordered: "Wen Chang, you take 10,000 troops through the camp of the thief army, and then quickly march towards Yinping. ”

When this order was given, Mi Yang had quickly taken out a tiger talisman from his waist and handed it to Wei Yan's hand.

This tiger talisman allowed Wei Yan to command part of the Han army in addition to his own troops.

When handing over the tiger talisman to Wei Yan, Mi Yang was so worried that he instructed again:

"Remember, it has to be fast."

Mi Yang's eagerness surprised Wei Yan and Wu Yi.

From common sense, after the collapse of Cao Hong's army, the road to Yinping of the Han army has been opened, and it is normal to send reinforcements to Yinping at this time.

But it can also be inferred according to common sense that Guo Huai may have gotten the news of Cao Zhen's defeat a few days ago.

After all, behind Guo Huai is the official road of Wudu County, and it is not as difficult as Cao Hong to pass the news to him.

And after Guo Huai learned the news of Cao Zhen's defeat, he knew that it was useless to seize Yinping, and he would definitely retreat for his own safety.

Of course, these inferences are not difficult for the general to come up with, so what is the general anxious about?

Wei Yan didn't pay much attention to the doubts in his heart, and after he took the tiger talisman in Mi Yang's hand, he quickly left the hall.

And after Wei Yan left, Wu Yi asked the doubts in his heart.

"Cao Hong was a trapped beast before, but the general seemed to turn a blind eye.

At present, Guo Huai's army has no way back, and it is possible that after learning the news of Cao Zhen's defeat, he will quickly lead his troops to retreat, which is for the sake of beasts.

The trapped beast is easy to catch, and the beast is difficult to chase, but now the general is slow and then urgent, why not? ”

Wu Yi's words revealed his deep desire for knowledge.

He knew that there must be a reason for what Mi Yang did, and now he wanted to know that reason.

Looking at Wu Yi's face full of curiosity, Mi Yang smiled again and explained:

"Those who want to win the world must first get the world's talents."

Although Cao Hong is known as a famous general today, he has also had many good achievements in previous years, but his personality is narrow-minded, and he has not led troops for a long time, and he has long been no longer the talent of the year.

Moreover, since Cao Hong is a trapped beast, he should not be forced too much, otherwise our army will have a lot of casualties, which will not be conducive to the Northern Expedition in the coming day. ”

Compared with Cao Hong, Guo Huai is not only from a famous family, but also has the heart of a different race.

For such talents, I should be able to capture them.

If Guo Huai can be captured, it can not only break the arm of Wei, but also make our army have one more general, this is a long-term plan, and we must not be in a hurry. ”

After listening to Mi Yang's explanation, Wu Yi nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing Wu Yi's expression of understanding, Mi Yang secretly thought in his heart:

Guo Huai, you can run, but you must leave my Jiang Wei behind.

Compared with Cao Hong, a vicious wolf, and Guo Huai, a gong dog, Jiang Wei, the young lin, is Mi Yang's real target!

Under Mi Yang's special instructions, Wei Yan did not dare to slack off at all.

He was already good at leading the army to attack, and under his leadership, tens of thousands of Han troops arrived at the bridgehead soon after.

Qiaotou is a fortress located between Yinping and Sword Pavilion.

Because of the geographical location of the bridgehead, Mi Yang arranged nearly 2,000 defenders in this fortress long before the Wei army's southern expedition.

However, after Wei Yan led the army to the bridgehead, he found that there were only some old and weak soldiers left in the bridgehead, and the elite Han army was nowhere to be found.

After realizing this, Wei Yan soon realized that the Han army in the bridgehead was likely to be transferred away by Ma Chao.

Last year, Ma Chao won two battles outside Wudu City, which made Mi Yang overjoyed, and after the great joy, Mi Yang asked Lu Yi to go to Ma Chao's army and granted him full authority to take charge of the war in the west of Hanzhong.

With this power in hand, Ma Chao has the right to mobilize the defenders at the bridgehead.

However, Ma Chao's move also proves that the situation in Yin Ping must be very unoptimistic.

Due to the blockage of Cao Hong's army, Ma Chao has not reported the military situation to Mi Yang for a long time.

At the moment, Mi Yang speculated that Yinping had not yet fallen, because of the fact that Guo Huai's army had not yet appeared outside the Sword Pavilion.

But after all, he hasn't received a battle report from Yinping for a long time, and even Mi Yang can't be 100% sure whether Yinping has fallen.

This hidden worry, coupled with the fact that the defenders of the bridgehead were transferred, made Wei Yan's heart a little uneasy.

After being uneasy, Wei Yan sped up the speed of his army a few more times.

Finally, not long after, Wei Yan finally led the army to the outside of Yinping City.

But the scene he saw in front of him made Wei Yan's mind unable to calm down for a long time.
