Chapter 591: The Worry of the Grain Road Where is Meng Da
Looking at the county magistrate who was trembling with fright in front of him, Mi Yang used the long sword in his hand to pick up the seal ribbon on the wooden plate in the hand of the county magistrate.
While looking at Xi Shou, Mi Yang's afterglow swept towards the not very tall county town in front of him, and his eyes were full of playfulness.
In front of him inside and outside the city of Yixian, it has long been impossible to see even a Wei army, and there are only some old and weak county soldiers who remain in the city of Yixian at the moment.
In addition, as soon as he led the army to Yixian, the county magistrate of Yixian surrendered Kaicheng, which fully proved a fact - Cao Zhen abandoned the city and fled.
To be honest, Mi Yang didn't expect this in advance.
Originally, Mi Yang thought that when he arrived in Yixian, it would be a difficult battle.
didn't expect it to be so easy for him to take Yixian.
Jiang Wei, who had just led the army to the city to investigate first, returned to Mi Yang's side soon after.
Under Jiang Wei's report, Mi Yang learned that there were no ambushes in Yi County.
After learning about this, Mi Yang let go of the last trace of vigilance in his heart.
Mi Yang first comforted the county magistrate with kind words, and Mi Yang's words revealed the meaning of continuing to let the county magistrate in front of him serve.
Mi Yang's plan flattered the county magistrate.
He really didn't expect that he would continue to be in charge of Yixian.
The main reason why Mi Yang did not plan to change the candidate for the county magistrate was that he knew that the national conditions in Cao Wei were different from those of the Han Dynasty.
Most of the local governors of Cao Wei were the children of the local wealthy families, and the children of the wealthy families were backed by their family backgrounds and had extraordinary influence in the local area.
If Mi Yang rashly changes the magistrate of Yi County, and there is no suitable replacement under his account, then this move will definitely cause instability in the local situation in Yi County, which is not in the interests of the Han army in the future.
After Cao Zhen abandoned Yixian, Mi Yang must have further led the army to pursue, and in this case, the stability of Yixian County is very important.
Of course, Mi Yang also saw that the county magistrate in front of him had the characteristics of most of the children of wealthy families - the grass on the wall, falling on both sides.
In order to have no worries, after leading the army to continue to advance, Mi Yang will leave an elite army to control Yixian.
Under Mi Yang's grace, the county magistrate constantly showed loyalty.
Just when the county magistrate was talking, Mi Yang suddenly asked about something:
"Back then, the real grave of the law was outside the city?"
Mi Yang's sudden question made the county magistrate stunned.
Mi Yang's mouth is the legal father, and the county magistrate knows who it is.
He is the Huan Ling period, in the Yixian area of the famous Confucian master Fazhen.
With Fazhen's reputation in Fufeng, the county magistrate of Yi, who was born in a family, didn't know that it was impossible.
But to the surprise of the county magistrate, how could Mi Yang suddenly mention this celebrity who has been deceased for decades?
Then the county magistrate reacted, why did Mi Yang have such an inquiry.
In addition to being a famous Confucian scholar in Fufeng, Fa Zhen also has another layer of identity, that is, Fa Zheng's grandfather.
And everyone in the world knows that Mi Yang is a disciple of Fazheng.
In the world, disciples are sometimes not much different from their sons.
According to this relationship, Mi Yang and Fazhen also have a shallow relationship.
If you want to come to Miyang to consult Fazhen's grave, you may want to go to Fazhen's grave to worship.
After guessing Mi Yang's intentions, the county magistrate replied with careful consideration:
"Returning to the general, the tomb of Fagong is not around the outside of the city."
After answering, the county magistrate did not wait for Mi Yang to ask again, and then explained:
"The rainy season the year before last, the amount of Weishui water soared, destroying the original city wall of Yixian.
At that time, in order to settle the people inside and outside Yixian, Wei specially re-established Yixian in the gentle area west of the original Yixian.
It is the one that the general sees in the eyes of the present.
As for the people who originally lived in Yi County, a small half of them followed Xiao Chen to live in this Yi County, and the other large part was settled in Wugong County, which was not far from the original Yi County. ”
"The clansmen who wanted to come to the Great General and respected the teacher also followed most of the people to Wugong County at that time."
The magistrate of Yi County told Mi Yang about a change that happened in Yi County in recent years.
When Mi Yang learned of this incident, a noncommittal look appeared on his face.
Most of the economically developed county towns in the world are built on rivers, which can make the county's agriculture have good objective development conditions.
It's just that everything has advantages and disadvantages, and since they depend on the river to survive, once a natural disaster strikes, then the damage suffered by these counties is unimaginable.
Xianglai Yixian is a typical example.
What Mi Yang didn't know was that in the hundreds of years since the establishment of county governance in Yi County, such things have often happened in Yi County.
Because of this, Yixian County has not only relocated the county seat several times, but also has often been abolished and renamed.
After the county magistrate replied to Mi Yang truthfully, Mi Yang never responded, which made the county magistrate Yi feel worried.
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and Mi Yang is not a gentleman, but in the heart of the county magistrate, he is a hundred times more terrible than Liu Bei.
What the county magistrate didn't know was that the reason why Mi Yang didn't respond to him in time was because he was thinking about something in his mind.
After thinking about it, Mi Yang asked the county magistrate to step down on the one hand, and on the other hand, he ordered the whole army to rest in place.
When Mi Yang's order was issued, the main tent belonging to Mi Yang was quickly set up, and then all the Han generals gathered in Mi Yang's main tent to discuss the next move of the Han army.
During the discussion, Huang Quan took the lead in saying to Mi Yang: "Cao Zhen retreated, and he was bound to lead the army to Wuzhangyuan. ”
Regarding Huang Quan's judgment, all the generals in the tent showed a look of approval on their faces.
Since the Northern Expedition, it has been more than half a year.
In the past half a year, the generals have already seen the map of Guanzhong badly.
They are familiar with the terrain of Guanzhong, so they naturally know the place of Wuzhangyuan.
Wuzhang Yuan is located in the south of Weishui, west of Wugong Shui, the terrain on the original is flat, a radius of several miles, very suitable for the garrison of the army.
Moreover, Wuzhang Yuan is close to Qinling in the south, Weishui in the north, and there are steep slopes on the east, west, and north sides, the situation is dangerous, and it is a place where soldiers must fight for easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The most important thing is that Wuzhangyuan is not far from the Bao Slope Road.
Not far to the southeast of Gojogahara is the mouth of the sloping valley.
If the Han army can occupy Wuzhang Plain, then the Han army can take advantage of the situation to open up the periphery of the Bao Chuan Road, which is a great benefit to the Han army.
This advantage is that the Han army's military food transportation lines will be greatly shortened.
At present, because the mouth of the valley is under the control of the Wei army, the grain route of the Han army is quite long:
The grain and grass of the Han army had to be transferred from Yizhou to Nanzheng, and then from Nanzheng to Tianshui through Yinping and Wudu counties, and finally it could be transferred to the army along Weishui Avenue.
Such a long grain road not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also causes great loss of grain and grass in the transportation process.
And it will also invisibly deepen the risk of instability of the Han army's grain route.
Although the main force of the Wei army was gradually forced to retreat to Fufeng County by Mi Yang, there were still many foreign territories passing through this long grain and grass.
Now that the Han army is in full swing, many aliens do not dare to take the risk of attacking the Han army's grain routes, but this situation will change over time.
It's July now, and in three months, the land of Guanzhong will enter winter.
When winter comes, many aliens will face a shortage of food.
The aliens did not dare to attack the Han army's grain routes now because they were afraid of death, but what if they were dying of starvation?
When a person is hungry and crazy, he can do everything.
Mi Yang and all the Han generals know this, and Cao Zhen and the Wei generals naturally also know that there is no one in the world who does not understand the virtue of the alien race.
That's why Huang Quan thinks that Cao Zhen will definitely stick to Wuzhang Plain.
Because if Wuzhangyuan is occupied by the Han army, then the grain route of the Han army will become, from Yizhou to Nanzheng, and then from Nanzheng directly through the Bao Shute Road to the Miyang army.
In this way, not only will the loss of manpower and material resources be greatly reduced, but the Han army will no longer have to worry about the safety of the grain route.
After agreeing with Huang Quan's judgment, a solemn look appeared on the faces of the Han generals.
At present, although the troops in Cao Zhen's hands are not as good as his own, the terrain of Wuzhang Yuan is dangerous, and it is not so easy to capture.
Even Cao Zhen doesn't need to hold on to Wuzhang Yuan for too long, as long as he lasts until winter comes, then many worries will come true under the influence of Tianshi.
The worried look on the general's face was watched by Mi Yang.
This means that in the hearts of the generals, there is no good way to quickly seize Wuzhangyuan.
It was Wei Yan, one of the generals, who took the lead in breaking the silent atmosphere in the tent:
Wei Yan stood up and said to Mi Yangjin: "General, since our army has recovered Yixian at the moment, it is time to continue to advance in one go.
Is it difficult to take Wuzhang Plain, why not wait until our army reaches the bottom of Wuzhang Plain to worry about it? ”
Wei Yan's words made Mi Yang nod.
Mi Yang, who felt that Wei Yan's words made sense, took out a command flag and handed it to Wei Yan's hands.
"There is a small city named Xiwei in the west of Wuzhang Plain, and I ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to take that city."
Wei Yan didn't expect that he, who had been neglected recently, would get a task because of today's advice, which made Wei Yan overjoyed.
It seems that people sometimes just can't be too low-key!
Wei Yanxing rushed forward to take the order flag in Mi Yang's hand, and said to Mi Yang: "General, please rest assured, the minister will definitely live up to his mission." ”
After saying this, Wei Yan hurriedly walked out of the tent.
After Wei Yan left, Mi Yang also waved his hand to disperse the other generals.
It's just that Jiang Wei was left alone by Mi Yang.
After waiting until there was no one else in the big tent, Mi Yang asked Jiang Wei:
"In the current situation, what advice does Boyo have to offer?"
Mi Yang's expectations for Jiang Wei are very high, and he is definitely not on the same level as Huang Quan and others, so he will leave Jiang Wei alone to ask his opinion.
Faced with Mi Yang's inquiry, Jiang Wei thought about it and said:
"Wei thought that Cao Zhen would decisively give up Yixian, and it was possible that he wanted to deliberately lure the main force of our army to continue to go deeper."
After hearing Jiang Wei's inference, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.
Jiang Wei's thoughts coincided with him.
Although on the surface, Cao Zhen had not yet fought with the Han army, and directly abandoned the city and fled, which was a great increase in the prestige of the Han army.
On the other hand, this incident was not all good for the Han army.
The city defense of Yixian County is not strong, which Mi Yang knew in advance.
Therefore, his original plan was that if Cao Zhen wanted to defend Yixian, he could just use the battle of Yixian to annihilate Cao Zhen's main force here as much as possible.
If this tactical goal can be achieved, then it will be much easier for the Han army to attack Chang'an in the future.
It's a pity that Cao Zhen's resolute evacuation regardless of his reputation was really unexpected by Mi Yang.
This also put the Han army in another form of passivity.
If it wants to continue to attack Chang'an, the Han army can only continue to go deeper, and as it goes deeper and deeper, the risks on the Han army's grain route will only be in a state of deepening.
Because the main force of the Wei army is still there, this will make the strategic concept of the Han army breaking through Wuzhangyuan in a short period of time full of difficulties.
It is true that with Zhuge Liang sitting outside Chencang, Mi Yang will not worry about the Wei army in Chencang posing a threat to his belly and back, but what about the many alien races scattered all over the long grain road?
A radish and a pit, Zhuge Liang has no doppelganger.
Seeing that Jiang Wei had the same worries as him, Mi Yang asked Jiang Wei again: "If Boyo is worried, then Boyo has a clever plan to help our army break through the blockade set up by the enemy in Wuzhangyuan?" ”
There was anticipation in Mi Yang's tone.
However, Rao is Jiang Wei is clever and scheming, and he doesn't have a good way for a while.
Seeing Jiang Wei shaking his head at himself, Mi Yang was not too disappointed.
But what Mi Yang didn't expect was that Jiang Wei saw that there was no one around, but he suddenly bowed down and asked Mi Yang:
"The general has a countermeasure in mind?"
Jiang Wei's inquiry made Mi Yang stunned for a moment, and then he asked Jiang Weidao:
"Where did Qing see that there is a countermeasure in his lonely heart?"
Under Mi Yang's inquiry, Jiang Wei remembered the scene and replied:
"The general just got Yi County, and when the magistrate of Yi County presented the seal, he didn't ask about the acres of land or the population first, but he took the lead in paying attention to the affairs of the ancestors, which made Wei wonder.
Moreover, the minister saw that after listening to what the county magistrate said, the general seemed to be contemplative, so he had the courage to guess this. ”
Jiang Wei's words made Mi Yang laugh out loud:
"Qing Youlin's name is really true."
Mi Yang was happy because Jiang Wei had a keen insight.
The Hanchen who surrounded Mi Yang just now, not to mention Jiang Wei alone, but Jiang Wei was the only one who had this guess in his heart.
And Mi Yang's words also indirectly prove that Jiang Wei's guess is justified.
Since Jiang Wei can guess some clues, Mi Yang is also willing to share some things with Jiang Wei:
"Does Boyo know that there is another general under the lonely tent, named Meng Da?"
Hearing Mi Yang mention Meng Da's name, Jiang Wei remembered this person after thinking about it for a while.
Since breaking his hair and earning Cao Ren, Meng Da's reputation in the world is not small.
It's just that Jiang Wei has never seen Meng Da since he joined Mi Yang, and why did Mi Yang suddenly mention him at the moment?
Looking at Jiang Wei's puzzled gaze, Mi Yang tapped his finger on the table and said:
"Lone's ancestor Yihou was born in a famous family in Yixian County, Meng Da and Yihou are close friends, and he is also the queen of a famous family in Yixian County.
After being a famous family, Meng Da has many connections with the families of the original Yi County.
Can you remember that according to the magistrate of Fang Caiyi, where are those families now?
Guess again, where is Menda now? ”
When he first heard this, Jiang Wei woke up.
He jerked his head up at Mi Yang.
Seeing that Jiang Wei was aware, Mi Yang finally said leisurely:
"The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is a sharp weapon against Wei to deal with our dynasty.
But that doesn't mean that this sharp weapon won't be used by me. ”
