While Cao Zhang and Zhang He were waiting for the news from Luoyang, Mi Yang, who was in the Han army camp, also had the same thoughts as them.

It's just that unlike Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang's attention to the news from Luoyang is to protect himself, but Mi Yang is to break the enemy.

As the clock approached June, the weather in the northwest gradually became hotter.

Mi Yang, who had just won a victory, was wearing a cool single coat, looked at Wang Hong as follows, and asked a question similar to Cao Zhang's:

"Hasn't there been any news from Lyoyang yet?"

After hearing Mi Yang's inquiry, Wang Hong did not dare to slack off.

He hurriedly got up and bowed to Mi Yang and replied, "Not yet." Wang Hong's answer made Mi Yang a little displeased.

In a displeased mood, Mi Yang's voice inevitably became a little stiffer: "Send the secretary to investigate again."

Whether Boyo succeeds or fails, Lone must be the first to get the exact news."

Wang Hongnai is Mi Yang's old friend, and since he took charge of Si Wencao, he has been by Mi Yang's side most of the time, and he knows Mi Yang's daily behavior and tone very well.

So Wang Hong could easily hear his dissatisfaction with himself from Mi Yang's current tone. Wang Hong, who realized this, couldn't help but be surprised.

Although Mi Yang had a warm attitude towards most of his subordinates in the past, with the continuous accumulation of Mi Yang's exploits, he naturally carried a power that was difficult for ordinary people to resist.

Wang Hong knew that he could have everything he had today, all he relied on was Mi Yang's words.

But in the same way, if Mi Yang wants to take away everything from him, he only needs one sentence.

Wang Hong, who was warning in his heart, hurriedly bowed to Mi Yang again, and promised in his mouth: "Within three days, the minister will definitely find out the news of Luoyang for the general."

After Mi Yang heard Wang Hong's promise, his face became a little better.

After all, there is some distance between the street pavilion and Luoyang, and with the delay in the news round-trip, Wang Hong's three-day promise is already very eager.

Mi Yang replied softly to Wang Hong.

Seeing that Mi Yang allowed himself to make meritorious contributions, Wang Hong was overjoyed, and after he retired from Mi Yang, he immediately walked out of the big tent to arrange everything.

Looking at Wang Hong's departing figure, Mi Yang seemed to be talking to himself, and he said with a sigh in his words: "Zi is narrow, it is difficult to use."

When Mi Yang said this, Ding Feng behind Mi Yang didn't seem to hear it. He still maintains the demeanor of looking at his eyes and nose and his nose and his heart, like a wooden man. It's not Ding Feng's ears, it's that he knows this sentence, and it's not what he should respond.

However, although Ding Feng knows how to avoid suspicion, there is more than Ding Feng in the current big tent. Deng Ai is also there.

After Deng Ai heard Mi Yang's words, unlike Ding Feng, Deng Ai immediately responded to Mi Yang's words.

"It's really difficult for Captain Si Wen to be a big job, but the general doesn't have to worry about it, now that the Han Dynasty is full of talents, the general can choose the best and the best, so why sigh because of this?"

To be honest, Deng Ai also has doubts about Wang Hong's ability to do things.

As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, and this shows the importance of intelligence to military affairs. It is precisely because of this importance that Mi Yang will set up Si Wencao early to act as his eyes and ears.

Unfortunately, with the continuous expansion of the combat scope of the Han army, even if Mi Yang sent many Mi disciples to assist Wang Hong, Wang Hong quickly exposed his lack of ability.

Not to mention today's incident, when Mi Yang asked about Meng Da's whereabouts some time ago, didn't Wang Hong hesitate and couldn't answer?

One mistake is an accident, but if it is two mistakes, it can only be said to be a dereliction of duty.

In the future, the territory of the Han army will be more extensive, and Wang Hong's dereliction of duty caused by his poor ability is likely to cause big hidden dangers in the future.

For this, Deng Ai felt that he could not be unguarded.

Therefore, after hearing Mi Yang's words, Deng Ai echoed Mi Yang's words without thinking. In addition to agreeing, Deng Ai also comforted Mi Yang.

Deng Ai felt that his heart was good, and his behavior was appropriate, but he didn't pay attention,

Ding Feng behind Mi Yang was looking at him frantically at this moment.

Ding Feng wanted to remind Deng Ai that this matter was not something that courtiers could participate in the discussion.

It's a pity that Deng Ai's eyes are now on Mi Yang, and he didn't pay attention to Ding Feng's kind reminder.

Not to mention Ding Feng's reaction, even Mi Yang couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Deng Ai's response to him.

However, after being simply stunned, Mi Yang saw that Deng Ai still showed a natural look, and he finally laughed directly.

Mi Yang suddenly remembered an incident that happened in history.

History was the period when Sima Zhao was in power with Cao Wei, and Cao Wei launched a war of annihilation against Ji Han.

The reason why Sima Zhao wanted to destroy Ji Han at that time was not that he had the ambition to dominate the world, but he just wanted to accumulate political capital for himself by defeating Ji Han.

At first, when Sima Zhao revealed his intention to march south, many people in the Cao Wei court did not approve of it.

It's just that those people quickly reacted to Sima Zhao's true purpose, so they didn't continue to admonish them.

But what Sima Zhao didn't expect was that when most of the people inside and outside the court were silent about this matter, Deng Ai, who was the assassin of Yongzhou at the time, kept writing to dissuade him from going south.

Moreover, Deng Ai's letter was earnest, and he also listed various reasons, so that Sima Zhao could not refute Deng Ai militarily.

In the end, Sima Zhao was annoyed by Deng Ai and had no choice but to send his master book to Yongzhou, and directly informed Deng Ai of his true intentions in private.

Deng Ai stopped writing at this time.

From this incident, it can be seen how low Deng Ai's political EQ is.

Take the moment as an example, no matter whether Wang Hong is qualified for the position of Captain Si Wen, since Captain Si Wen is Mi Yang's eyes and ears, then this matter should not be put in the hands of the courtiers.

Fang Cai Miyang's words were only made by feelings, not to ask. Who knew that Deng Ai also picked it up by himself.

Thanks to today's Deng Ai's lord, Mi Yang.

If you want to change to someone else, I am afraid that you will inevitably suspect that Deng Ai's suggestion has other intentions. Mi Yang, who knows Deng Ai, will certainly not be suspicious of Deng Ai because of this incident.

Mi Yang even thought that Deng Ai was a little cute.

When normal courtiers will keep silent in order to avoid suspicion, only Deng Ai will only think about planning for the interests of the lord, without worrying too much, and say what he wants.

Mi Yang likes such courtiers.

Mi Yang did not directly respond to Deng Ai's suggestion, he motioned for Deng Ai to come to him. Deng Ai did not doubt him, and hurriedly paced to Mi Yang's body and knelt down.

After Deng Ai sat down, Mi Yang handed the pu fan in his hand to Deng Ai and motioned for him to shake the fan for himself.

In the face of Mi Yang's gesture, Deng Ai happily took the pu fan in Mi Yang's hand, and slowly fanned Mi Yang The interaction between Mi Yang and Deng Ai, the monarch and minister, made Ding Feng behind Mi Yang very envious.

It can be seen from Mi Yang's intimate behavior towards Deng Ai that Mi Yang regards Deng Ai as a henchman among his henchmen.

With the cool wind on his face, Mi Yang looked very comfortable.

While feeling comfortable, Mi Yang said to Deng Aiyan: "After the end of the first battle of the Street Pavilion, Lone will come to your majesty and let you be the general of Zhichong."

"When the time comes, you will go to Jingzhou and assist the Che Cai general in attacking Wancheng." Hearing Mi Yang say this, Deng Ai's hand shaking the fan couldn't help but pause. After the end of the Battle of Nanzhong, he was awarded the rank of Zhonglang General for his merits.

Now Mi Yang wants to promote him to General Zhichong again, which is a normal thing. To Deng Ai's surprise, Mi Yang wanted to send him to Jingzhou.

After seeing Deng Ai's surprised eyes, Mi Yang explained his intentions with a smile. "You're talented.

In addition, you are from Nanyang, and you were plundered by the thief army to Yingchuan County when you were young, which makes you quite clear about the terrain of the two counties.

I sent you to assist the Che Cai General because I wanted you to assist the Che Cai General and open up the situation for our army in the Central Plains." Mi Yang, who has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefields in the world, will certainly not ignore the important battlefield of Wancheng. whereas

According to the information obtained before, Zhang Fei's progress in Yuzhou is not going smoothly at present.

Although Zhang Fei used flexible tactics to open the passage of the Northern Expedition for the Han army, no matter how flexible the tactics were, they must be subordinated to strategy.

The strategic key point of the war in Yuzhou lies in the gains and losses of Wancheng.

If the Han army in Jingzhou wants to enter Yuzhou and thus threaten Luoyang, then Wancheng is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. The strength of the city of Wancheng is really rare in the world, and it can be said that it is comparable to that of Chang'an City.

In addition, Sima Yi is a good general, and Wancheng is backed by the national strength of the entire state of Yuzhou, all these factors made Zhang Fei delay in taking Wancheng.

This was expected by Mi Yang.

In the past, because the battle situation in Jieting was still unclear, Mi Gu had not put too much energy into Wancheng.

But after that big victory some time ago, it can be said that the situation in Jieting has opened, and it is only a matter of time before the Wei army that breaks Cao Zhang's next is in Mi Yang's opinion.

In this case, Mi Yang also has to divide some of his attention into other aspects. Since Chang'an has not yet been taken by the Han army, Mi Yang has no way to go to Wancheng in person.

He couldn't go in person, so he could only send Deng Ai, a scheming henchman, to Wancheng. It can't be said that Deng Ai will definitely be able to assist Zhang Fei in taking Wancheng when he goes to Wancheng.

But Deng Ai's going, after all, can fight for more weight for the victory of the Han army in Jingzhou. After saying his intentions, Mi Yang said with a smile:

"I've heard you say before that you suffered a lot of humiliation in Nanyang County and Yingchuan County when you were young. This time, you returned to Nanyang County as a general, and you think you can be regarded as returning to your hometown. Your official status will hang in the lonely shogunate."

After listening to Mi Yang's last sentence, Deng Ai's movement of shaking the fan in his hand completely stopped.

A grateful look appeared on his face, and then the next moment, Deng Ai hurriedly bowed to Mi Yang in front of him.

This is Deng Ai's thank you to Mi Yang.

After three loud bangs, Deng Ai stopped bowing. When Deng Ai looked up again, a bruise appeared on his forehead. General Zhichong is just a miscellaneous general, and his status is not too high.

But Mi Yang's last sentence indicates that Deng Ai's general Zhichong was a vassal of his shogunate. This alone is an honor that many people in the world cannot ask for.

With such an honor, once Deng Ai led the army back to Nanyang County, how could he not return home? He's a subordinate of Miyang's shogunate!

In addition to this, Mi Yang's intention to let him return to his hometown in fine clothes moved Deng Ai inexplicably. Deng Ai has been following Mi Yang for several years, which is not a short time in the world.

When he was bullied when he was young, Deng Ai only mentioned it once in Mi Yang at the beginning of his defection, and only mentioned it once. In Deng Ai's opinion, a character like Mi Yang, he shouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

But what he didn't expect was that Mi Yang kept in mind the past that he occasionally mentioned a few years ago.

And today, he was given the opportunity to be ashamed.

With such love and attention, how can Deng Ai not be grateful? Thinking about it, tears appeared in Deng Ai's eyes.

But in order not to make Mi Yang feel useless, Deng Ai tried hard to take back the tears in his eyes. Looking at Deng Ai's emotional and reckless scene, Mi Yang couldn't help but laugh again.

He said to Deng Ai, "You go down and pack your bags first. It won't take long for the street pavilion to fall into the hands of Lone." When he said this, Mi Yang's tone was full of confidence.

Even if there is no definite news from Luoyang at the moment, Mi Yang has confidence in Jiang Wei. Mi Yang's words made Deng Ai get up slowly, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the tent.

It's just that before he got far, Deng Ai turned around and bowed to Mi Yang. After a bow, Deng Ai promised Mi Yang:

"Don't worry, the general, the minister will definitely be optimistic about Jingzhou for the general." After saying this, Deng Ai left the big tent without looking back.

looked at the back of Deng Ai leaving, and pondered for a while what Deng Ai left

After that last sentence, a guess suddenly appeared in Mi Yang's heart.

Deng Ai's last sentence was a pun.

And Deng Ai's other intention made Mi Yang want to sigh with his forehead. Shi Zaiyo, have you misunderstood something!

...

Mi Yang's inference was correct, just two days later, an astonishing news spread from Luoyang County to Jieting. After Cao Zhang heard that there was news delivered in Luoyang, he hurriedly asked Zhang He to bring the person who delivered the news to him.

It's just that when that person came to Cao Zhang's body, Cao Zhang's heart had a very bad premonition.

I saw that the man's whole body was covered with blood, and it could be seen from this scene that this man had just experienced a vicious battle. But the question is, how can there be a vicious battle in Luoyang County behind the street pavilion?

How can there be a vicious battle!

Cao Chang trembled and pointed his finger at the messenger, trying for him to tell everything he knew.

And when the messenger told Cao Zhang everything he knew, Cao Zhang almost fainted. "What did you say?!"

"Luoyang County Magistrate Xie led the enemy, and Wang Sheng was killed by the envoy sent by Mi Yang. Now our army's grain route has been cut off by the thief army?! 「

Until now, Cao Chang still couldn't believe what he had heard. With such unacceptable news, who doesn't want to faint when they hear it?
