Chapter 590: The prestige is so great that it retreats again and again

Zhuge Liang, who was standing on the high platform, looked at Mi Yang driving a horse, leading groups of Han troops out of the camp and heading towards Yixian.

Under the flow of his eyes, Zhuge Liang with a smile on his face was in a complicated mood.

There are expectations, but there are also some worries.

Although Zhuge Liang has confidence in Mi Yang, he also recognizes Mi Yang's tactics in his heart.

But Mi Yang took away nearly seventy percent of the elite of the Han Dynasty, and what Mi Yang wanted to do was something that ordinary people would not dare to think of.

In this case, even Zhuge Liang is not sure that Mi Yang will definitely succeed.

If you can't be sure, you will naturally have worries in your heart.

However, there are worries, but the expectation in Zhuge Liang's heart is far greater than the worry.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Jiang Wan behind him: "You have always admired the deeds of Chengtang, haven't you seen it with your own eyes today?" ”

Zhuge Liang's words made Jiang Wan laugh too.

At the beginning, Jiang Wan, like Huang Quan and others, thought that Mi Yang must be persuaded to make this bold idea.

But after seeing today's scene, as long as there is blood in the heart, as long as there is a big man in the heart, then no one will have the intention of dissuasion in their hearts.

And as Zhuge Liang said, what Mi Yang is doing today is very similar to a famous event in history - that is Tang Oath.

According to the "Book of Shang", when Chengtang attacked Xia Ji that year, because the main force of the Xia Dynasty was still there, the army gathered by the princes was deeply worried.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chengtang held a solemn oath meeting before the battle of Narujo, and at the oath meeting, Chengtang issued the famous oath like today's Miyang.

It was that impassioned oath, coupled with Cheng Tang's personal prestige, that made the princes' alliance firmly strong, thus defeating the main force of the Xia Dynasty in one fell swoop in the later war and overthrowing the tyranny of Xia Wei.

Thinking of the record in "Shangshu", and then recalling the scene of Fang Cai, Jiang Wan only felt that a long-cherished wish had been fulfilled in his heart.

Of course, Jiang Wan still has his own thoughts in his heart.

"Today I not only saw the oath of Cheng Tang, but also saw the heroic posture of Han Hou in the last battle."

Jiang Wan's emotion stunned Zhuge Liang, and then he let out a hearty laugh.

And so it is.

The Han Hou in Jiang Wan's mouth refers to Han Xin, the Han general who assisted Liu Bang in determining the world.

Although Han Xin finally surrendered as a sinner, his exploits for the Han Dynasty during his lifetime have always been extremely admired by later generations.

Among those many deeds, the last battle is undoubtedly a particularly famous one.

The same seemingly impossible, but the same unhesitating.

After laughing, Zhuge Liang opened his palm, looked at the word "Tang Oath" that had not been erased in his hand, and then looked at Mi Yang's figure that was looming in the ups and downs of the army.

His apprentice went to re-establish the mountains and rivers for the Han Dynasty, and as a master, he was bound to guard this back road for him.

Hold this lifeline for the Great Han!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang turned his hand and held his palm tightly, and he took Jiang Wan down from the high platform.

As soon as Mi Yang's army left, Chen Cang was full of wind and clouds next.

It's just that if there is no wind and clouds to help, how can Wolong soar in the sky?

Chen Cang may not always be in the hands of Wei Jun.

After leading the army out of a few miles, due to the cover of the dense forest behind him, when Mi Yang looked behind him again, he could no longer see the figure of Yuanran standing on the high platform.

But remembering the words Zhuge Liang gave him before leaving, Mi Yang's heart was full of stability.

The saying is: "Be bold and go, you have a teacher behind you." ”

A small number, but it brought Mi Yang a sense of security that tens of thousands of troops had never brought him.

After seeing Zhuge Liang's figure, Mi Yang turned his head suddenly, and now he only had the front in his eyes, only Chang'an.

"The whole army is speeding up, and Cao Zhen is caught off guard!"

Mi Yang's words were quickly transformed into military orders and spread throughout the army, and under this military order, the speed of the march of nearly 100,000 Han troops had been raised to the extreme.

Chang'an, let's come!

In Yixian County, a hundred miles away from Chencang, Cao Zhen and a group of confidants and generals were still discussing the purpose of Zhao Yun leading tens of thousands of cavalry troops to the outside of the city.

A few days ago, after Zhao Yun successively broke through the Seven Wei Army Fortresses outside Yixian, he did not take any new actions.

Zhao Yun just led tens of thousands of cavalry troops to wander outside Yixian, sometimes to the east and sometimes to the west, as if Zhao Yun was taking these tens of thousands of Han army cavalry to go out.

Zhao Yun's leisurely attitude made Cao Zhen and the others in the city even more confused.

Even if Cao Zhen summoned Liu Ye to ask about the plan, Liu Ye couldn't guess what Zhao Yun, or Mi Yang's true intentions were.

At present, Cao Zhen received two main pieces of information, one is that the main force of the Han army is besieging Chencang, and the other is that there are tens of thousands of Han cavalry roaming outside Yixian.

These two pieces of information, one is in the speculation of the Wei generals, and the other is unexpected by the Wei generals.

When these two contradictory pieces of information are put together, Cao Zhen and the generals of the Wei army will have a lot of speculation.

Could it be that Mi Yang wants to surround the point and send reinforcements?

Or is Mi Yang's purpose in sending Zhao Yun to completely block the Wei army's rescue of Chen Cang?

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, Mi Yang wants to divide his troops to attack Chang'an.

At present, these three speculations occupy the mainstream.

Among these three speculations, although the third speculation is not very likely compared to the first two, Cao Zhen still divided a lot of troops to Chang'an for the sake of insurance.

Under the division of troops, the Wei army currently in Yixian County is only about 20,000.

As for Mi Yang's purpose is the first two, then Cao Zhen seems at ease.

Because it was absolutely impossible for him to send troops to rescue Chen Cang - Chen Cangcheng was originally a bait he threw out to be discarded according to the current battle situation.

Now that this bait has dragged the main force of the Han army, how can he go against his original intention and disrupt the layout?

It's just that although there are three mainstream speculations in the military, there are corresponding countermeasures.

But if he didn't really know Mi Yang's intentions for a day, Cao Zhen's heart was still like being pressed on a weighing weight of more than a thousand catties, and his heavy mood made him uncomfortable.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have convened the generals many times to discuss.

Originally, Cao Zhen thought that today would be the same as a few days ago, and the generals would discuss in every possible way but could not come up with an answer, but Cao Zhen was wrong.

Some of the answers you can't think of can be delivered to your door.

Just when Cao Zhen was dissatisfied with the wisdom of the generals, a panicked figure stumbled in from outside the door.

Seeing that someone suddenly broke in, Cao Zhen and the other Wei generals were startled.

But after seeing the outfit of the visitor, their mood stabilized again.

In order to get the front-line military information as soon as possible, Cao Zhen had specially allowed the scouts outside Chen Cang to meet him without going through the courtesy.

It's just that although the scout was given this privilege in advance, the scout had never been so aggressive, and the scout's collision made Cao Zhen, who was already in a depressed mood, couldn't help but reprimand him loudly:

"Why are you so alarmed! What a system! ”

Under Cao Zhen's loud drink, the scout fell to his knees in fright.

At this moment, Cao Zhen's majesty as the general of Cao Wei was undoubtedly revealed.

But the prestige is out, and Cao Zhen still wants to know what is happening on the front line.

Immediately, Cao Zhen asked sharply: "What is the matter, report it quickly!" ”

Cao Zhen asked sharply, making the scout even more panicked, and at the same time, he said a slurred sentence:

"Enemy, enemy is coming!"

When they heard this, Cao Zhen and the Wei generals in the hall hurriedly cheered up.

It turns out that the third guess is Mi Yang's intention!

After Cao Zhen and Liu Ye glanced at each other, they both saw a relieved look in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, they had been wary of this speculation.

Cao Zhen, who was relieved, was in a much better mood, and he asked the scout lightly, "How many enemy troops are coming?" ”

"Is it 10,000, or 20,000?

Which enemy general led the troops? ”

In Cao Zhen's opinion, even if Mi Yang wanted to use the danger to divide his troops to attack Chang'an, but with the existence of Chen Cang, it was impossible for Mi Yang to divide too many soldiers and horses, and it was impossible for him to personally lead the troops out of Chen Cang.

Under the circumstance that these two points are impossible, Mi Yang's division of troops is really nothing to fear.

It will not affect the development of the overall situation.

But the scout's next answer made Cao Zhen's eyes as big as copper bells.

"Not 10,000 or 20,000 enemy troops, it's tens of thousands!

The enemy army is pouring out!

Mi Yang is also here! ”

The three answers, like thunderbolts from the sky, smashed on the heads of Cao Zhen and the Wei generals in the hall one by one, making them unable to recover from the shock for a while.

After a long time, Cao Zhen raised his hand to the scout with a trembling hand, and asked in a tone of disbelief:

"Chen Cang is lost?"

Although this speculation is easy to make people crazy, it can be said that Mi Yang's actions can only make this thing possible if this guess comes true, right?

But the scout's answer this time obviously dealt another blow to Cao Zhen's heart.

"Chen Cang didn't lose it, Mi Yang abandoned Chen Cang and led the army east!"

Out of fear in his heart, the scout almost cried out to say this.

But it was this sentence that made Liu Ye, who had always been calm on Cao Zhen's side, exclaim:

"How is that possible!

No way! ”

After Liu Ye exclaimed, all the Wei generals in the hall also immediately reacted from the shock, and then glared angrily at the scout.

This scout must have lied about the military!

All of a sudden, the whole hall was instantly surging with emotion.

The voices of the generals begging Cao Zhen to kill the scouts rang out.

But under the surge of emotion, if you listen carefully, you can still hear a little fear.

As for why he is afraid, think about it for a while.

Even Liu Ye and the generals of the Wei army performed like this, not to mention Cao Zhen, who had a strong temperament.

Cao Zhen pulled out the long sword at his waist and quickly came to the scout's side, and after putting the long sword in his hand on the scout's neck, Cao Zhen asked in a calm tone:

"He's Mi Yang, he's Mi Yang!

Even a fledgling general would not be able to do the kind of thing you are talking about, how could he!

Why lie about the military?

Are you a spy sent by Mi Yang? ”

Cao Zhen's questions were quick to say, he was desperate to know the answer, and he was also eager for the scout to say the answer, which he wanted to hear.

In order to achieve this goal, Cao Zhen's sword on the scout's neck kept exerting force, and a trace of blood was already oozing from the scout's neck.

Looking at Cao Zhen in front of him, who was about to swallow him, and then feeling the pain in his neck, the fear in the scout's heart accumulated to the greatest at the moment.

It's just that everything he said is true!

"If the general doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, and the villain will never tell a lie."

The scout's performance of kowtowing and begging for mercy while saying made Cao Zhen subconsciously let go of the long sword in his hand.

His whole body, because he couldn't accept this fact, couldn't help but stumble back a few steps in a row.

The scouts have said so, so how can there be a fake?

Mi Yang really ignored Chen Cang and went east with all his might!

Cao Zhen, who realized the truth, couldn't help but reach out and hug his head in pain, and he didn't expect Mi Yang to come to this trick.

How dare he.

The scout's last words not only gave Cao Zhen a splitting headache, but also made the faces of the Wei generals in the hall reappear with shock and fear.

From the shock at the beginning, to the anger at the back, and then to the shock and fear now, in just a few breaths, the mood of the Wei generals fluctuated like a roller coaster.

Who can stand this?

As a result, a strong sense of panic surfaced in the hearts of all Wei generals.

Many Wei generals sat on the ground with bleak faces like Hao Zhao.

Mi Yang went crazy.

What is he doing at such a young age?

It's just crazy Mi Yang, can they resist it?

The undisciplined tactics completely disrupted all the previous arrangements of the Wei army, and at this moment, their brains were only blank.

The reason why the Wei generals were afraid was mainly because under the smoke bombs released by Mi Yang before, in order to ensure the safety of Chang'an in the rear, they transferred most of their troops to Wuzhangyuan behind Yixian County to deploy defenses.

At present, there are only 20,000 Wei troops in Yixian.

20,000 Wei troops sounds like a lot, but due to an accident a few years ago, the city defense of Yixian County is far less solid than Chencang, and no one in the Wei army originally expected Mi Yang to come to this move.

Without mental preparation, once the Wei army in the city learned the news that Mi Yang led the main force of the Han army to come, then the army's heart would definitely be greatly shaken.

By that time, will Yixian be able to defend under Miyang's onslaught?

This question is not only the generals of the Wei army, but also Liu Ye.

But Liu Ye has a clearer judgment than the generals of the Wei army.

Liu Ye, who was anxious, immediately stepped forward to hug Cao Zhen, constantly shaking Cao Zhen's body, wanting him to wake up quickly:

"General, our army should quickly retreat to Wuzhang Plain!

The terrain of Wuzhang Plains is dangerous, and our army has been stationed there for a long time, so blocking the thief army there is the best countermeasure.

Now the evil deer is coming, but the general only cares about holding his head and doubting, this is tantamount to ruining my Great Wei's society in vain! ”

Because of the urgency of the situation, Liu Ye couldn't take care of the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and the tone of his words was a lot heavier.

But it was Liu Ye's last sentence that made Cao Zhen recover his thoughts.

Cao Zhen raised his head to look at Liu Ye on the side, his eyes were bloodshot at this time:

"Shang Tai didn't hold it, I retreated.

Seeing that Chen Cang was stable, I retreated again.

Could it be that in Yixian County, do I still want to continue to retreat? ”

Cao Zhen's sad words caused Liu Ye's heart to suffer, once upon a time, the Wei army, which dominated the world back then, became what it is now?

But in the face of Cao Zhen's inquiring gaze, Liu Ye finally said firmly:

"For the sake of Da Wei, you must retreat!

As long as Wuzhang Yuan is there, our army will be able to hold Chang'an. ”

Seeing that Liu Ye was so firm, out of trust in Liu Ye, Cao Zhen held on and issued an order that was laughed at by countless people in later generations:

"Pass the order, and the whole army will evacuate Yixian!"

Mi Yang, you are ruthless enough, I don't want Yixian, it's okay!
