In Cao Zhen's mind, it was as if there were lightning bolts roaring.

He couldn't figure out for a moment why there were suddenly tens of thousands of Han cavalry, desperately rushing towards Yixian.

What is the purpose of these tens of thousands of Han army cavalry?

Could it be that Mi Yang wanted to rely on tens of thousands of Han army cavalry to take Yixian by surprise?

Taking a step back, even if Zhao Yunneng led tens of thousands of Han army light cavalry to take Yixian, if there was no follow-up support from a large number of infantry, with tens of thousands of light cavalry, he would not be able to hold Yixian at all.

Mi Yang is not this kind of person who will do useless work.

After realizing this, Cao Zhen seemed to vaguely grasp some of the veins of the truth.

In fact, with Cao Zhen's military strategy, with the support of existing intelligence, it is not difficult for him to guess what Mi Yang's next purpose is.

But the truth that emerged in Cao Zhen's mind made Cao Zhen feel extremely ridiculous.

Will Mi Yang personally lead the army and come directly to the city of Yixian?

No, it is absolutely impossible.

Cao Zhen's reason told him that Mi Yang would not make such a risky move.

So what is the purpose of Mi Yang?

Due to the violent shock of his thoughts, Cao Zhen couldn't help but have a headache.

It's a pity that Cao Zhen didn't have time to rest.

In one day, the news of the continuous destruction of Qizhai soon spread throughout Yi County.

The most important thing is that the scouts sent by Yixian County found that not far from Yixian, there were traces of tens of thousands of Han army light cavalry.

When this news was mixed with the news that Qizhai had been continuously breached, it immediately caused an earthquake in Yixian.

Many panicked and dazed Wei generals flocked to Cao Zhen's mansion for a while, hoping that he could come out to preside over the overall situation.

This phenomenon also occurred once in Chang'an City at the end of last year when Mi Yang led the army to march to the Baochuan Road.

Although the place was changed, as long as the commander of the Han army was still Mi Yang, then he could always bring shock to the Wei army.

Because there were too many Wei generals coming, Cao Zhen had no way to refuse to meet them.

After seeing the many Wei generals coming in the lobby, Cao Zhen didn't have time to appease the army, and the entire hall immediately fell into a fierce quarrel.

Why are you Wei Jiang arguing?

In order to argue about the purpose of Mi Yang - Chen Cang has not yet been taken, why did Mi Yang send tens of thousands of elite horsemen to attack Yixian!

Does Mi Yang want to divide his troops to fight, or do he want tens of thousands of Han army elite cavalry to directly take Yixian by surprise?

Even what Mi Yang really wants to do is to let these tens of thousands of elite horsemen bypass Yixian and attack Chang'an?

Uneasy speculations, like waves caused by a strong wind, surged violently in the lobby.

However, even though they have quarreled for a long time, even though many people have given their own opinions, no one has the confidence to guess what Mi Yang's purpose is.

If they don't know Mi Yang's purpose, they can't make corresponding countermeasures - and the unknown is the most terrifying.

Of course, not only Cao Zhen, but also some of the Wei generals actually vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.

It's a pity that the authorities are fascinated, and most of the Wei generals in Yixian County are generals.

Generals are the ones who are most easily deceived by their own experience.

Looking at the messy lobby, Cao Zhen only felt more and more headaches.

In the end, Cao Zhen couldn't help but let out a loud shout:

"No matter what the enemy's purpose is, our army must defend Yixian next!"

"As long as our army is in Yixian for one day, the enemy's tens of thousands of light cavalry will not be able to take Xiayi County, nor will it be possible to cross us and directly attack Chang'an!"

Cao Zhen's words reluctantly reassured the Wei generals in the lobby.

Mi Yang's true purpose, they can't tell, and then they can only respond to all changes with the same and prepare for the worst.

But what you Wei generals don't know is that what shocks them even more is still to come.

Outside Chencang City, which is a hundred miles away from Yixian County, Mi Yang led a group of civil and military forces to welcome the arrival of a person.

can make Mi Yang greet him so solemnly, except for Liu Bei, there is only Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Under the gaze of more than 100 expectant eyes, Zhuge Liang led a Han army on horseback and slowly appeared in the sight of Mi Yang and the Han ministers.

After seeing Zhuge Liang's figure, Mi Yang took the lead to greet him.

Under the two-way rush, Mi Yang soon came to Zhuge Liang's horse, and bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang on the horse with respect.

Yu Gong Zhuge Liang's status is half a step higher than Mi Yang, and Yu Private Zhuge Liang is Mi Yang's mentor, so Zhuge Liang is fully worthy of Mi Yang's worship.

And after Zhuge Liang saw Mi Yang saluting under the horse's head, a little smile appeared on his tired face.

Zhuge Liang quickly jumped off the horse, and then reached out to help Mi Yang up, when the two eyes met, Zhuge Liang's eyes unabashedly revealed his appreciation for Mi Yang.

"Wei Zisheng, I can't go to Guanzhong.

I am proud to have you as an apprentice. ”

Zhuge Liang's praise made Mi Yang overjoyed.

What Zhuge Liang didn't know was that Mi Yang was also proud to be appreciated by Zhuge Liang.

After a simple greeting, Mi Yang personally led the way in front and took Zhuge Liang to the built Han army camp.

As Mi Yang and Zhuge Liang advanced, the more than 100 Hanchens who had originally gathered together spontaneously parted to both sides, making way for the pair of Han doublewalls in their eyes.

At the same time, when Zhuge Liang passed by the crowd, more than 100 Hanchen cast their eyes on Zhuge Liang more and more expectantly.

The expectations in the hearts of more than 100 Hanchen are not the same as those in Mi Yang's hearts.

Mi Yang issued a military order for Zhao Yun to lead tens of thousands of elite cavalry to attack Yixian, but he couldn't hide the Han ministers in the Han army camp.

When they learned the news, the shock in the hearts of the Hanchen was no less than that of Cao Zhen and other Wei generals.

The Han army was also speculating about what Mi Yang's intentions were.

But they couldn't guess!

However, although they couldn't guess Mi Yang's true intentions, many Hanchen instinctively felt in their hearts that it seemed that Mi Yang was planning to do something very dangerous.

This uneasiness has been haunting their hearts for the past few days.

But today's arrival of Zhuge Liang has relieved the uneasiness in their hearts a lot.

They may not be able to persuade Mi Yang, but Zhuge Liang can.

With expectant eyes, a group of Hanchen sent Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang all the way into the big tent.

Then they dispersed with confidence.

After leading Zhuge Liang into the big tent, Mi Yang immediately informed Zhao Yun of the latest battle report.

When Zhuge Liang learned that Zhao Yun had successfully broken through the seven blockade lines set by the Wei army, the smile on his face was even worse.

Now that there is no longer a barrier between Chen Cang and Yi County, and he has come outside Chen Cang City, the next thing Mi Yang has to do is to lead the army to Yi County.

"How many soldiers and horses does the prime minister need?"

After Mi Yang bowed to Zhuge Liang, he asked this question.

In the face of Mi Yang's inquiry, Zhuge Liang did not give a positive answer, he just smiled and asked:

"Then it depends on how many soldiers and horses the general can leave for me."

The ridicule in Zhuge Liang's words made Mi Yang's rare old face red.

When others call him a general, he can accept it with peace of mind, but Zhuge Liang calls him so, which makes him a little unaccustomed.

However, Mi Yang also knew that Zhuge Liang was ridiculing him, so he could only be cheeky and continued:

"Chang'an is a strong city, and Cao Zhen still has tens of thousands of Wei troops in his hands.

In order to ensure that Chang'an was foolproof in the first battle, Yang might only be able to leave 5,000 soldiers and horses for the prime minister at most. ”

After saying the quantity word five thousand, Mi Yang didn't dare to look directly into Zhuge Liang's eyes.

The reason is simple, the five thousand Han army is too few.

According to previous intelligence, there were at least tens of thousands of Wei troops in Chencang City.

Yes at least!

Because as early as before the Battle of the Southern Expedition, Chencang City was the grain and grass transfer base of the Wei army, and there were many elite soldiers in the city.

Don't look at the tens of thousands of elite Wei troops now, they are so frightened that they hide in the city and dare not come out, but this is because the 100,000 Han troops are outside the city.

Once Mi Yang led the army to leave Chencang City, then Hao Zhao, who learned the news, would definitely lead the army out of the city to attack Mi Yang's back road.

Although the Han army built a camp outside Chencang City, the camp was not a city after all, and it was not protected by a moat and a city wall.

If you don't have enough troops to defend the camp, then no matter how well the camp is built, even if the entire Chencang City is encircled, the Han army will not be able to defend it.

Moreover, at that time, the Han army under the command of Zhuge Liang would become the defensive side.

For the attacking side, they occupy the initiative in the war and can concentrate their forces to break the surface.

But for the defending side, they can only deploy defenses everywhere, otherwise if they are not careful, Mi Yang's back road will be broken into a hornet's nest by the Wei army in Chencang City.

In these difficult circumstances, Mi Yang left Zhuge Liang with too few soldiers and horses, and it was very dangerous.

It's just that Mi Yang doesn't want to give Zhuge Liang more soldiers and horses, it's that the current Han army can't draw too many troops to Zhuge Liang.

Don't look at the Han army now has 100,000 people, but 10,000 of the 100,000 Han army are light cavalry, which cannot be used to attack Chang'an City.

In addition to the 10,000 light cavalry, there are 10,000 soldiers who are the soldiers of the wealthy families in Liangzhou, not to mention the combat effectiveness, even the degree of loyalty is not very stable.

In other words, in the next battle against Chang'an, Mi Yang could actually use only about 80,000 Han troops.

And Cao Zhen has nearly 50,000 Wei troops in his hands, and he is still guarding a fortified city like Chang'an.

It was an extremely difficult task for 80,000 Han troops to besiege Chang'an City, which was garrisoned by tens of thousands of Wei troops.

Besides, it is impossible for Cao Zhen to let Mi Yang go all the way to Chang'an City without loss.

Yixian, Wuzhangyuan, and Huaili, all of which are battlegrounds, are all places that Miyang wants to conquer.

In this situation, Mi Yang only felt that the 100,000 Han army was too small, and he really couldn't give too many soldiers and horses to Zhuge Liang.

After Mi Yang said that he wanted to leave 5,000 Han troops to Zhuge Liang, he saw that Zhuge Liang did not respond immediately, and he thought that Zhuge Liang was too few soldiers.

So he spoke again: "Otherwise, Yang will leave 10,000 soldiers for his teacher?" ”

At this time, Mi Yang no longer called Zhuge Liang the prime minister, compared with the title of the prime minister, the title of the teacher was more intimate.

Mi Yang began to play the emotional card.

It's not that he peels the skin, it's the landlord's family who has no surplus grain!

Seeing Mi Yang's "stingy" appearance, Zhuge Liang felt quite interesting.

The current Mi Yang should not be called a big general, but should be a "small" general!

After Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, he said to Mi Yang:

"Five thousand is enough."

Zhuge Liang's words made Mi Yang both surprised and delighted.

Facing Mi Yang's surprised gaze, Zhuge Liang said lightly:

"If you can stay in the rear, why do you ask Your Majesty to summon me?"

Zhuge Liang's words made Mi Yang laugh.

The reason why Mi Yang would think that Zhuge Liang had to defend the back road was not only because he admired Zhuge Liang's ability very much, but also because he had long expected that he would not be able to leave too many soldiers and horses in the rear.

Otherwise, if Mi Yang could leave tens of thousands of troops to guard the back road, it would be good if he directly handed over this important task to Zhao Yun, so why bother to shake Zhuge Liang all the way to help?

Zhuge Liang is a very human being, and only he can do extraordinary things.

After discussing the soldiers and horses left for Zhuge Liang, Mi Yang planned to arrange for the army to go to Yixian as soon as possible.

But at this time, Zhuge Liang reminded Mi Yang:

"There's still a little bit of an omission."

Zhuge Liang's words have a teaching meaning.

Since Mi Yang called him a teacher, he naturally had to take on the responsibility of teaching Mi Yang.

Zhuge Liang's words also surprised Mi Yang.

He didn't feel that he still had any omissions, but Mi Yang knew that Zhuge Liang was not a person who could talk falsely.

In the face of Zhuge Liang's teachings, Mi Yang did not dare to slack off.

He hurriedly bowed down and asked Zhuge Liang:

"Please teach me."

Under Mi Yang's advice, Zhuge Liang said to Mi Yang:

"When I came in, I noticed that there was uneasiness in the eyes of many ministers.

Why is it uneasy, you can naturally guess it with your intelligence.

Many of the ministers were commanders and colonels, and the uneasiness in their hearts was bound to affect the morale of the soldiers.

The way of the husband and the soldier lies in the people. If the generals are suspicious of each other, the soldiers are unwilling, loyal to make a living, the group slanders, slander each other, although there is the wisdom of Tang and Wu, but can not win against the horseman!

You have to plan ahead for this. ”

Zhuge Liang's words made Mi Yang vigilant.

Once he gives the military order for the whole army to go to Yixian, then, as Zhuge Liang said, the army's morale will definitely fluctuate.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a very dangerous thing to bypass Chen Cang and go directly to Yixian.

Although the morale of the Han army is high at the moment, it cannot be considered that all of them are as brave as Zhao Yun.

Not even ordinary soldiers, how many of the generals are as bold as Zhao Yun?

And if he didn't have Zhao Yun's courage, then even if Mi Yang could use a military order to let the Han army go to Yixian, the Han army would definitely affect their morale because of the uneasiness in their hearts.

This is a big hidden danger for Mi Yang.

With one heart and one mind, we can win all battles!

Under Zhuge Liang's reminder, Mi Yang's face became solemn.

It's just that the solemn face didn't last long, and it disappeared on Mi Yang's face.

Mi Yang has come up with a way to resolve this hidden danger.

Zhuge Liang has been watching the changes in Mi Yang's face, in fact, he can think of this, and he already has a solution in his heart.

He didn't say anything, he just wanted to see if Mi Yang could solve this hidden danger by himself.

Now Zhuge Liang saw that Mi Yang had gained, and at the same time, he was satisfied and stretched out his hand to stop Mi Yang's urge to open his mouth.

"You have a plan, and I have a plan.

In that case, why don't you and I write down our plans in the palm of our hands, and then show them to each other at the same time, to see whose strategy is better? ”

Zhuge Liang's words made Mi Yang look eager to try.

"Respect the teacher has a life, how dare the disciple disobey?"

He hurriedly took two brushes and handed one of them to Zhuge Liang.

Then the two of them, each with a brush in their hands, turned their backs to each other and began to write on their palms.

Soon after, the master and apprentice, who had written their own plans in their palms, turned to face each other again.

With a heart in their hearts, Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang showed each other their palms at the same time.

And after Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang saw the content of each other's palms, the two were stunned for a moment at first, and then couldn't help laughing at the same time.

There is no difference between the strategies that the master and apprentice come up with, because the strategies that the master and apprentice come up with are exactly the same.

This scene was something that Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang didn't expect in advance, but it made them look very happy.

The hearty laughter of Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang floated down the curtain and into the ears of Ding Feng, the guard outside the tent.

After hearing the laughter of the two bigwigs, although Ding Feng didn't know what was going on inside, he still unconsciously mourned for Wei Jun.

Wolong and Bailu are the twin walls of the current Han Empire.

When the two walls meet, the Wei army will cry.
