Mi Yang's march was not slow, even if he deliberately slowed down some along the way, in case he was ambushed by the Wei army.

However, after the time entered the early November of the fourth year of Zhangwu, Mi Yang still successfully led the army to arrive not far from the mouth of the valley.

Bao Slope Road is the main road of Chang'an through the Qinling Mountains to Hanzhong, its north entrance is at the mouth of Meixian Valley, and the south exit is in Hanzhong Valley, so it is called Bao Slope Road.

At that moment, Mi Yang led the army to approach the mouth of the sloping valley.

However, after Mi Yang led his army close to the mouth of the valley, he found that there was a large area of Wei army camp outside the valley mouth.

And in those Wei army camps, there was a large amount of cooking smoke rising, thinking that the Wei army received the news in advance and led the army into the barracks, thinking about blocking him from entering Guanzhong.

As a road connecting Hanzhong to Guanzhong, the Wei army has been building a camp outside the mouth of the valley.

Even before that, in order to prevent the Han army from raiding Chang'an, heavy troops were also deployed in the military camp outside the valley.

Of course, after the First World War in Liangzhou, it is estimated that there are not many heavy troops left, but those strong military camps are still there.

Along with Mi Yang, there is also Zhou Tai.

Compared with Fa Miao's specialized government affairs, Zhou Tai is currently one of the few talents under Mi Yang's command who can be called both civil and military.

It is precisely because he knows that Zhou Tai has this talent, at the beginning, after Zhou Tai joined Mi Yang's command, Mi Yang let Zhou Tai serve as the commander of Nanzheng County.

This is to exercise the governance ability of the state Thai.

Today, the main purpose of taking Zhou Tai with him to climb the heights to inspect the enemy's situation is to exercise Zhou Tai's military sensitivity.

Therefore, after observing the military situation outside the valley, Mi Yang was not in a hurry to say his own opinion, he looked at Zhou Tai and asked:

"What do you think?"

After hearing Mi Yang's inquiry, Zhou Tai knew that Mi Yang was asking him about his opinion on the enemy's entry into the barracks.

Since Mi Yang was asking him such a question for the first time, this made Zhou Tai's breathing inevitably seem a little short.

Zhou Tai didn't think that Mi Yang really wanted to ask him, with Mi Yang's strategy, he must have a point-to-point opinion in his heart.

The reason why Mi Yang asked him specifically under the draft was essentially to teach him.

Teach him if he needs to be promoted.

At the beginning, Zhou Tai took the initiative to go to Miyang, didn't he just fancy Miyang's bright future and think about climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix?

Now that the coveted opportunity has come to him, how can Zhou Tai not feel nervous?

Because of his nervousness, Zhou Tai first thought about it for a while, and then replied to Mi Yang:

"In Chen's opinion, since many thieves have already entered the barracks, our army is not good at plotting against Guanzhong in the future."

When he said this, Zhou Tai's face was solemn, and at the same time, there was a sense of exhortation in his tone.

As Mi Yang's confidant, Zhou Tai knew Mi Yang's mind when he was from Yangping Pass.

Although his great general said that he wanted to be a good suspect for His Majesty, in fact, this was not the real expectation in Mi Yang's heart.

Otherwise, why did Mi Yang send Meng Da into Fufeng County in advance to stir up the situation?

Attracting a large number of enemy troops in Guanzhong to Chang'an can only be said to be the minimum standard for this expedition in Mi Yang's heart.

As for the highest standard, the height is different, and Zhou Tai can't guess what Mi Yang really wants in his heart.

But Zhou Tai knew that no matter what Mi Yang wanted to do, the prerequisite was to be able to lead the army into Guanzhong smoothly.

However, this is difficult to do when a large number of Wei troops are stationed in the military camp outside Xiegukou.

Because although the Wei army camp was not directly blocked at the mouth of the valley, the Han army was able to get out of the valley mouth smoothly.

But if the Wei army near the mouth of the valley is not eliminated, once Mi Yang leads the army deep into Guanzhong, the Wei army suddenly cuts off the Han army's grain route from behind, so what should be done?

Coupled with climbing high and looking out, Zhou Tai had a clearer understanding of the overall structure of the Wei military camp.

Most of the Wei military camps were built according to the mountainous terrain, and this way of arranging the camp greatly strengthened the solidity of the Wei army barracks.

Mi Yang currently only has 10,000 troops in his hands, and he did not bring a large number of siege equipment with him this time.

In the case of insufficient troops and siege equipment, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to eliminate the Wei army entrenched in the Wei army camp through a strong attack.

Not to mention that there are still a large number of Wei troops in the Wei army camp.

It can be said that the Wei army built a strong camp outside the mouth of the valley, and it did in fact achieve the purpose of blocking the Han army in the mouth of the valley.

Not being able to lead the army away from the mouth of the valley is not much different from being directly blocked in the mouth of the valley.

The solemnity on Zhou Tai's face and the exhortation in his words did not dislike Mi Yang.

Even if the state is inaccurate.

In Mi Yang's view, there are not a large number of Wei troops in the current Wei army's camp.

After listening to Zhou Tai's inference, Mi Yang sighed lightly.

"Lots of thieves?"

And Zhou Tai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing Mi Yang's lightness.

Is there anything wrong with these four words?

He and Mi Yang were attracted to the hillside by the smoke rising from the Wei army's barracks.

And from the smoke that spread throughout the barracks, it can be seen that the number of Wei troops in the barracks outside the mouth of the valley will not be small.

At least in the tens of thousands.

The defeat of Liangzhou greatly damaged the vitality of the entire Guanzhong, which is a fact.

But the same force is a small force in the entire pass, but if it is concentrated in one place, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

Roughly inferring the number of enemies by the amount of smoke and cooking utensils is something that generals would do during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

And this skill is also clearly written in the military book.

Basically, anyone who has read a war book will be familiar with this technique.

However, Zhou Tai, who has never led a soldier, does not know that there are often generals who will be deceived by enemy generals because of this kind of habitual thinking.

Seeing that Zhou Tai was still confused, Mi Yang pointed to the mountain range behind him and said to Zhou Tai:

"If there are really tens of thousands of thieves in the barracks, why don't the thieves gather in the dangerous places of the mountain roads and ambush our army layer by layer?"

The topography of the slope is quite special, although it crosses the Qinling Mountains, it does not have to climb over the mountains.

This makes the Bao Slope Road a relatively flat valley road among the Qinling Mountains.

But after all, the valley road is a valley road, and where can the terrain be flat?

At that time, before the plank road was repaired, the dangerous place had to climb and walk, which was extremely dangerous.

Later, during the Warring States Period, under the repair of a large number of manpower and material resources of the Qin State, the Bao Slope Road slowly became a passage for the army to walk.

But there are still many places in the slope of the slope, the terrain is deep and rapid, the cliff is volleying, even if there is a plank road, but it is still very dangerous.

Mi Yang was very cautious when he led the army through before, for fear of being ambushed by the Wei army.

But it didn't.

Along the way, Mi Yang didn't even see the shadow of a Wei army.

This is very unusual.

Cao Zhen followed Cao Cao's southern expedition to Hanzhong, and he should be very familiar with the terrain of the Bao Slope Road.

Therefore, as long as Cao Zhen is not a fool, if he really has tens of thousands of mobile troops in his hands, he should send a large army to station in the Baochuan Road, seize all dangerous places, and rely on the steep mountains to block the Han army.

Historically, Cao Zhen did just that, defeating Zhao Yun's suspicious army in the Bao Chuan Road during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition.

This is enough to prove that Cao Zhen is not going to do this.

But why didn't Cao Zhen do it?

Perhaps Zhou Tai would subconsciously think that it was Mi Yang's prestige that intimidated Cao Zhen, so that he did not dare to send the Wei army out of the camp.

But this is not true.

Mi Yang's admission of his current prestige will bring considerable psychological pressure to Wei Jun.

But no matter how great his prestige is, it will not make Cao Zhen give up the best natural risk in vain.

I don't even want to be in danger, and I still send heavy troops to guard the camp dryly?

Ma Jian can't do such a thing.

If it is really his own prestige that can achieve this effect, what else can he do with Meng Da to help the wind.

The most important thing is that the Wei army will definitely send scouts to investigate the movements of its own army.

Therefore, when his army will arrive at the mouth of the valley, Cao Zhen should know very well.

Knowing that his army was coming, he didn't organize a defense, and he specially picked this time to cook on the fire, isn't it funny.

Everything seemed too deliberate, not at all as natural as he used to use his strategy.

Under all kinds of anomalies, Mi Yang quickly made an inference in his heart.

At the moment, Cao Zhen has no extra mobile forces in his hands at all.

The large amount of cooking smoke in the Wei army camp was the fog specially released by Cao Zhen or a certain Wei army general.

The purpose was to make him think that there were a large number of Wei troops in the Wei camp, so that he did not dare to rashly lead the army to attack the Wei army camp.

Mi Yang quickly informed Zhou Tai of the inference in his heart.

And after Zhou Tai listened to Mi Yang's inference, he was immediately impressed by Mi Yang's insight.

He is the best general at using deception, and he can see through the enemy's intentions at a glance.

Compared with the general, he is still not deceitful enough!

Mi Yang didn't know what Zhou Tai was thinking, but he also made an evaluation of Zhou Tai in his heart at this time.

Zhou Tai is more than stable militarily, but it is not enough to change.

But this is not to say that the state will not achieve military achievements in the future.

Because each person has different personalities and talents, each general has their own unique combat style.

Generals such as Jiang Wei and Deng Ai are particularly good at the art of conversion, which will make it easier for them to achieve amazing achievements in military affairs.

But Jiang Wei and Deng Ai are both more than flexible, but they are not calm enough, which will make them not suitable for sitting on one side.

The calm and serious state Thai has no such problem.

In history, although there is no commendable record in Zhoutai, it is not difficult to find that Sima Yi attaches great importance to Zhoutai.

In his life, Zhou Tai successively served as the Taishou of Xincheng, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, all of whom were feudal officials who held real power.

During his tenure, Zhou Tai has always governed the local government very well, not only can foreign enemies not invade, but even there is almost no internal turmoil.

It can be said that Zhou Tai is a typical representative of the good fighters who have no outstanding achievements.

As the territory of the Han Dynasty continues to recover, a handsome man like Zhou Tai is in urgent need of Miyang.

After having a clear positioning in Zhou Tai's heart, an idea in Mi Yang's heart is gradually taking shape.

Just when Mi Yang was thinking, Zhou Tai suddenly asked Mi Yang:

"General, what should our army do next?"

Do what?

Thinking of this, Mi Yang said to Zhou Taiyan:

"You write a letter for Lone."

The content of the letter reads: Lone near the emperor's order, and he is guilty of resignation. When I first arrived in Guanzhong, I drew my sword and looked around, all of them were small and invincible.

Today, there are 100,000 soldiers and 100 generals, and they want to hunt in Chang'an with their feet, and then talk about the frontier.

Fortunately, don't stay in the boudoir, laugh at the world. ”

After Mi Yang finished reading the contents of the letter, Zhou Tai was stunned.

The general is going to open up big, and mock the whole level!
