When Mi Yang was expounding his point of view, under his instructions, Fa Miao got up and led many scribes to distribute the information that Mi Yang had previously found to the ministers present.

It may not be easy to install Si Wencao's meticulous work in Guanzhong at the beginning, but intelligence work has always been difficult to pay attention to.

When a group of elite works led by Hua'an took root in Chang'an and other cities in Guanzhong, more and more Siwen Cao began to go deep into Guanzhong to build a perfect intelligence network for Mi Yang.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

After defeating Cao Zhen, Mi Yang has been thinking about planning a perfect Northern Expedition strategy.

For this purpose, recently, Siwen Cao's secret agent in Guanzhong has sent back a lot of useful information one after another.

At present, the information received by Liu Bei and the Hanchen is compiled by Fa Miao after summarizing the military information transmitted back from Guanzhong in the past few days.

After Liu Bei opened the information in his hand and watched it, he was quickly attracted by the detailed content.

What made Liu Bei feel even more strange was that because there was a lot of information sent back from Guanzhong, Fa Miao followed Mi Yang's instructions when sorting out the information, and made some annotations after each piece of information.

The annotations are ranked in descending order of importance and credibility.

In this way, anyone who gets this summarized information will have a sense of clarity at a glance.

This kind of feeling was something that Liu Bei and the Hanchen had never felt before.

Scouts, or spies, appeared in the Chinese army as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

But the intelligence work in the world is very crude.

How rough is it?

For a single matter, there may be multiple agents reporting repeatedly, and the content of each agent's report may be different.

This is often extremely misleading to the generals of the time.

Even because the information in the world is too cumbersome and distorted, many of the commanders in the world rarely have the habit of reading the information in person.

For example, Guo Jia of Cao Cao and Pang Tong of Liu Bei were the first to organize intelligence for these two masters.

Sun Tzu's Art of War devotes a special article to remind generals to pay attention to intelligence work, not to say that they simply send secret agents, even a foolish general knows about this.

What Sun Tzu wanted to remind the generals was to know how to improve the mechanism for obtaining information.

And for this point, Mi Yang, who came from later generations and was born in a merchant family, can be said to have done better than most of the generals in the world.

Even if Liu Bei, as the emperor of a country, can mobilize far more resources than Mi Yang, the information he obtains may not be as accurate as Mi Yang.

For example, Liu Bei had previously sent people to investigate the experience of the current Wei generals in Guanzhong, and at present, there are two Cao Wei ministers in Guanzhong who are the key targets of investigation.

One is Wei Zhen, who has just become the assassin of Liangzhou, and the other is Xiahou Nan, the assassin of Yongzhou, who has been in Chang'an for several years.

In Liu Bei's previous investigation, most of the spies said that although Xiahou Nan was of noble birth, he had never led a leader, and he was obviously not an object to be afraid of.

However, in the information investigated by Mi Yang, he had a more comprehensive evaluation of Xiahou Nan.

Although Xiahou Nan never showed the ability of military strategy, he had extraordinary talent for life, Cao Zhen's conquest of Hexi and the battle of Liangzhou in the south, Xiahou Nan provided military supplies for Cao Zhen in Chang'an.

has an extraordinary ability to govern life, which means that Xiahou Nan has a high political reputation in Guanzhong, and a high political reputation will cause great trouble to the Han army to attack Chang'an.

Because when the situation was critical, Xiahou Nan could use his political prestige to mobilize the people of Chang'an to defend the city together.

This is the one thing that any besieging party is most afraid of encountering, especially Chang'an is still a super city in the world.

Mi Yang's detailed intelligence content and appropriate analysis gave Liu Bei and the Hanchen a clearer understanding of the current enemy situation in Guanzhong.

And with the flow of their eyes, after Liu Bei and the Hanchen read all the contents of the information, they became more and more aware of the other party's Cai Miyang's point of view.

Fang Cai Miyang thought that the Han army's Northern Expedition would face the most difficult siege battle next, which everyone here listened to, but there were still many people who were a little disapproving.

Including Liu Bei.

After all, the Wei army in Guanzhong is empty at the moment, and the Han army has just experienced the Battle of Liangzhou, and its morale is high, and the soldiers are full of food.

Many people feel that the next Northern Expedition will not be said to be a blessing, but it should not encounter any major obstacles.

But the information in their hands made them realize the severity of the next Northern Expedition.

Let's not talk about other fortified cities in Guanzhong, let's take Chen Cangcheng, which controls the main road of Weishui, as an example.

Chencang is located in the upper reaches of Weishui, if you swim down from Weishui, you can reach the city of Chang'an in a few days.

For such an important city guarding Chang'an, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the emperors of the Han Dynasty spent a lot of manpower and material resources to repair its city defense.

Even Cao Zhen specially strengthened the city defense of Chencang before the southern expedition.

Under the reinforcement of many times, Chencang City is now a fortified city with two inner and outer walls, and it is meaningless to just tell the city defense data of Chencang City, just make an analogy.

The Chencang in Guanzhong is like the Jiangling of Jingzhou, the public security.

How strong the city defenses of these two fortified cities were, all of you Hanchen and Liu Bei had an intuitive experience.

It was precisely because of this experience that at this moment, the faces of Liu Bei and the Hanchen were obviously disappointed.

And Mi Yang seemed to be afraid that the Hanchen and Liu Bei would not be disappointed enough, so he directly made a surprising inference:

"With the city of Chencang, it will be difficult for our army to conquer it in a short time."

The difficulty of a siege is directly proportional to the strength of the city.

Of course, even if the city defense is perfect, there will be a day when it will be captured, but the arrival of that day will undoubtedly take a long time.

During this time, can the Han army afford to wait?

Or can the national strength of the Han Dynasty be consumed?

When Mi Yang's sentence was inferred, there was a burst of restless sound in the originally silent lobby, and even Liu Bei's brows furrowed deeply.

Chen Cang controlled the Weishui artery and could not take Chen Cang in a short period of time, which meant that the Han army could not come to Chang'an City in a short time.

As for leading the army around Chencang?

The map of Guanzhong is hanging high there.

Chencang not only controls Weishui, but is also located at the exit of the four roads in Guanzhong, which means that no matter which way the Han army sends troops, the grain route will be exposed to the attack range of the defenders of Chencang.

Although the infantry of the Wei army in Guanzhong suffered heavy losses, the formation of the cavalry army was still perfect.

The consequences of rashly exposing the grain routes to the cavalry in the plains are chilling to think about.

Of course, due to the addition of the Qiang Cavalry, the Han Army currently has a good cavalry force.

But let's not talk about how long it will take to integrate the mixed Qiang cavalry, let's just say that the Cao Wei cavalry only needs to attack the grain road.

The grain route from Hanzhong to Chang'an is long, and it is impossible to send heavy troops to defend every place.

And the reason why everyone will be restless after hearing Mi Yang's inference is because Mi Yang's inference is equivalent to indirectly overturning the original strategy set by Liu Bei.

Long before Liu Bei came to Liangzhou, he personally said the slogan of "Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, recover Chang'an".

From this slogan, it can be seen that Liu Bei wanted to recover Chang'an as soon as the Han army entered Guanzhong.

But judging from Mi Yang's inference, the strategy set by Liu Bei cannot be done in terms of the current situation.

Needless to say, Mi Yang's reputation in the army is very convincing.

Not to mention that Mi Yang also put detailed information in the hands of everyone, looking at that information, anyone with a discerning eye can see whether Mi Yang's inference is reasonable.

But it was precisely because he knew that what Mi Yang said was right that everyone's reaction was so big.

Because this is too far from what they expected at the beginning.

I thought I would be able to recover Chang'an soon, but now.

Among all the people, there is no doubt that Liu Bei has the biggest gap in his heart.

After Mi Yang finished talking about his inference, he also kept looking at Liu Bei's face.

Mi Yang knew very well how much Liu Bei wanted to recover Chang'an as soon as possible, but for Liu Bei's good and for the sake of the Han Dynasty, he had to tactfully let Liu Bei dispel this idea first.

Not to mention that from the current situation, Liu Bei's goal is unrealistic, let's just say that the arrogant thinking that is spreading in the Han army must also be curbed.

The victory in Liangzhou greatly boosted the morale of the Han army, but also made the Han army gradually permeate the wind of arrogance.

It's inevitable.

This kind of arrogant style has affected the judgment of many Hanchen to a large extent, and even Liu Bei has been affected by this influence.

Otherwise, where does the sense of disparity in everyone's hearts come from?

The wind of arrogance is pervasive, the desire for victory is too eager, and the strategy and tactics set are unrealistic and have obvious mistakes, which will bring fatal hidden dangers to the Han army.

In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, there was a famous war, which was caused by this.

That battle was called the Battle of Yiling

Mi Yang could not sit idly by and watch such a situation happen, not even if there was even one possibility.

And Mi Yang kept looking at Liu Bei's face, and he was also exploring whether Liu Bei understood his implicit advice.

Liu Bei's personal expedition to Guanzhong was able to stimulate the morale of the Han army to the maximum, but at the same time, it also changed Mi Yang's identity.

In the Northern Expedition, he was no longer a decision-maker, but a planner.

This means that no matter how good his strategy is, if Liu Bei does not agree, it will be in vain.

And will Liu Bei listen to his advice?

Mi Yang has no bottom in his heart at this point.

Liu Bei is a commander with a very distinct personality, and his most distinctive character is that he is easy to get started.

The Battle of Dingjun Mountain and the Battle of Yiling were both fought by him when he was on top.

And once Liu Bei got up, even Zhuge Liang couldn't pull it.

When Mi Yang was observing Liu Bei's face, his gaze was also noticed by Liu Bei.

Then Liu Bei directly replied with a blaming look.

Okay, you Mi Zisheng, your wings are hard, aren't you!

I just rewarded you so much, and as a result, you just gave yourself a "drink" in front of everyone!

However, blame is blame, and Liu Bei can also understand Mi Yang's approach.

After all, Mi Yang adopted a tactful method of persuasion.

And under Mi Yang's reminder, Liu Bei also had some doubts about his previous thoughts.

After thinking about it, he also felt that he might be too anxious.

But Liu Bei is not such an easy person to give up, after he blamed Mi Yang several times with his eyes, he asked in a cold tone:

"If our army does not take Chang'an directly, then how should our army go on a northern expedition?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei looked at Mi Yang directly.

If you only know how to veto, but don't have a good strategy for it, I will issue an edict to cut your food in a moment.

I will cut you dozens of households as a punishment.

Well, at present, the number of food towns in Miyang is 5,000.

And after Mi Yang heard Liu Bei's inquiry, he secretly breathed a deep sigh of relief.

He was not afraid that Liu Bei would ask him about his strategy, but he was afraid that Liu Bei would keep going up and down, regardless of it.

And Liu Bei's inquiry also made everyone in the hall focus their eyes on Mi Yang's face.

In the eyes of many people, there is a strong desire for knowledge - General, quickly teach me how to fight Wei Gou.

Even the historians present subconsciously took out their brushes, thinking about recording this historic moment.

Under the gathering of everyone's eyes, Mi Yang stretched out his hand and pointed to a place on the map of Guanzhong.

Under the light of the candlelight, the shadow of Mi Yang's finger seemed to turn into a sharp sword, and plunged straight into the ramp on the map of Guanzhong:

"Since ancient times, there have been four main roads connecting Guanzhong to Hanzhong.

Yang thought that the ramp could be used. ”

After Liu Bei took Hanzhong that year, in order to go on the Northern Expedition in the coming day, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to renovate the four main roads connecting Hanzhong and Guanzhong.

These four main roads are the Meridian Road, the Fu Luo Road, the Bao Slope Road and the Taurus Road.

If the Han army wanted to enter Hanzhong, it could usually only choose one of these four main roads to march.

The reason why Mi Yang said that the slope can be used is that the slope is the smoothest of the four main roads.

The slope road is also known as the slope valley road.

Whether it was Cao Cao's two southern expeditions to Hanzhong, or Cao Zhen's southern expedition this time, the main force of the Wei army entered Hanzhong through the Bao Chuan Road.

So many people in the Wei army can march so smoothly, and naturally it can be so good for the Han army.

But after Mi Yang said this, the eyes of everyone in the hall became puzzled again.

The slope is very good, but the exit of the slope in Guanzhong is very close to Chang'an.

Fang Cai Mi Yang's inference is clearly not recommended to give priority to the capture of Chang'an, how can he suggest that the Han army march from the Baochu Road at the moment?

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of Mi Yang's mouth:

"Gentlemen, just imagine, the exit of the Baochuan Road is very close to Chang'an, if our army marches from this road, how will the thief army react?"

How else will they react?

That must be to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to garrison Chang'an.

Meng Guang, one of the ministers, was quick to make this judgment.

Meng Guang's judgment was recognized by the ministers in the hall.

But Mi Yang's next sentence surprised all the ministers in the hall.

"If the thief army transfers most of the forces in Guanzhong to the vicinity of Chang'an, won't Liangzhou in Guanzhong become more and more empty?

If you don't take emptiness, when will you wait? ”

At this moment, Mi Yang said what he really thought in his heart.

Take Chang'an openly, and secretly seize Liangzhou!

And after learning of Mi Yang's idea, Liu Bei chuckled.

This kid, there has never been a war that has come according to the routine!

There is one more chapter in the early hours of the morning.

Oli gives, I want a monthly pass.
