Chapter 605: Jinhou's Wish The day the stars set
The generals' enthusiasm for war made Mi Yang's face smile.
As a general of the Han Dynasty, Mi Yang likes the energetic appearance of the Han generals.
Mi Yang's gaze crossed the faces of one of the Han generals in front of him, and under his gaze, the Han generals' feelings of asking for war became even stronger.
They all knew that the general was about to start ordering generals.
All the Han generals know that the current battle situation is very favorable to the Han army, and the Weibei Wei army camp, which could not be attacked in the past, is very likely to be captured in one go.
In this case, Mi Yang's eyes fell on the eyes of the Han generals at the moment, as if he was not choosing which general to kill Guo Huai.
Mi Yang is choosing who the next prince of the Han Dynasty is!
Which Han general doesn't want to be a marquis by virtue of his military exploits?
It's normal for them to behave like this right now.
Didn't you see Wei Yan, who had a straightforward temperament, and began to push the comrades around him, asking them not to block his figure?
Wei Yan's excited expression of course couldn't escape Mi Yang's eyes, but after Mi Yang's gaze stayed on his body for a while, he turned to a silver-robed general standing in front of him.
This general is Zhao Yun!
Mi Yang quickly pulled out an arrow and handed it to Zhao Yun, and after seeing Mi Yang's movements, Zhao Yun also showed joy on his face and hurriedly bowed to Mi Yang.
"General Zuo, I ordered you to lead an army of 50,000 to cross Weishui again.
Tomorrow's battle, can you take Guo Huai's head for Lonely! ”
Mi Yang's words fell on the ears of the other Han generals, and their faces were clearly disappointed.
Wei Yan looked at Zhao Yun's gaze, and he was about to turn into a knife.
And the joy on Zhao Yun's face at this moment became more and more bright.
"The minister is willing to make a military order!
If you don't win tomorrow, you are willing to let the general dispose of it! ”
The action of the 50,000-strong army cannot be accomplished overnight.
Setting a combat mission today and starting to act tomorrow is not slow.
Zhao Yun's answer was sonorous and powerful, which made Mi Yang very satisfied.
"Believe in you."
After saying this, Mi Yang handed the arrow in his hand into Zhao Yun's hand.
In order to ensure the victory of tomorrow's battle, Mi Yang ordered several fierce generals as Zhao Yun's lieutenant generals.
After arranging all this, Mi Yang ordered the generals to go down to recharge for tomorrow's war.
It's just that as many Han generals gradually left, there was a majestic general who was not inferior to Zhao Yun, but he stayed alone.
This fierce general is none other than the hussar general Ma Chao.
After seeing that there was no one else in the tent, Ma Chaofang looked at Mi Yang with both puzzled and expectant eyes.
Why Ma Chao has such a gaze, Mi Yang is very clear.
Hussar generals, according to the military system of the Han Dynasty, were only under the generals.
So from a common sense point of view, the main general of the 100,000 Han army in Xiwei will be Mi Yang, and the deputy general should be Ma Chao.
But this is not the case.
Although since Liu Bei handed over all the military power to Mi Yang, Ma Chao has followed Mi Yang's side.
However, during the period from Shangdi to Xiwei, the Han army did not encounter important combat missions, but Mi Yang did not arrange for Ma Chao to go once.
For example, the last surprise attack on the battle of Yixian.
The surprise attack on Yixian mainly relied on the high mobility of the cavalry, and it was naturally appropriate for Mi Yang to let Zhao Yun go.
However, compared to Zhao Yun, Ma Chao was obviously more qualified for that mission, because most of the cavalry in the Han army were Qiangqi people.
Ma Chao's prestige in Qiang Di cannot be replaced by anyone.
Not to mention Ma Chao's world-leading cavalry command art.
If it is said that the failure to receive the order to go out on the expedition that time only made Ma Chao feel disappointed, then today's Mi Yang's deployment of troops made Ma Chao feel quite puzzled.
Ma Chao knew that with his past, it would be difficult for him to lead the army to fight independently.
Ma Chao doesn't want this either, he just hopes to become Zhao Yun's lieutenant.
But from Mi Yang's arrangement, Ma Chao did not hear his name.
Even Liu Feng, Zhang Wei and others have the opportunity to fight, but their own strength is obviously above them, but they have not been in Mi Yang's arrangement, how can Ma Chao be willing?
Seeing that Mi Yang didn't respond to his gaze, Ma Chao couldn't help but take a few steps forward, thinking about asking Mi Yang for an understanding at close range.
But when Ma Chao's body moved a few steps forward, Ding Feng in the big tent put on a stressful appearance as if he was facing a great enemy.
Under the command of Ding Feng, the Mi Yang pro-army in the big tent couldn't help but stand between Mi Yang and Ma Chao.
Mi Yang's reaction to the army also made Ma Chao subconsciously stop his steps.
But Ma Chao's stop did not let Ding Feng relax his vigilance.
His eyes have been fixed on Ma Chao, Ma Chao has been famous in the world for a long time, and he doesn't know if the dozens of pro-soldiers in the tent can stop Ma Chao.
Ding Feng even thought about calling in a large number of pro-troops outside the big tent at this moment.
But before Ding Feng could speak, Mi Yang said:
"Stand down!"
Even though he was worried about Mi Yang's safety, Mi Yang's order Ding Feng did not dare to disobey.
Under Ding Feng's signal, dozens of pro-soldiers flashed aside, so that Mi Yang's eyes could see Ma Chao again.
It's just that at this time, in Mi Yang's eyes, Ma Chao's face still had a little more uneasy look.
He knew he had overstepped his actions.
Don't look at Liu Bei often calling Mi Yang in front of him, but there are so many courtiers in the Han Dynasty, in addition to Mi Yang's honor, how many courtiers can get Liu Bei's trust?
For those in the upper position, within ten steps in front of him, it is a forbidden area.
After seeing Ma Chao's expression, Mi Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Fang Cai Ding Feng's actions were not at his behest, although he would not fully trust Ma Chao, but he also knew that Ma Chao at the moment would not have the heart to assassinate.
It's just that it's useless for him to trust this, how many people in the world will rest assured that they will be handed over to a tiger general like Ma Chao within ten steps?
Ding Feng is also for his safety.
And Ding Feng's subconscious reaction may have made Ma Chao panic again.
"The hussar general thinks that the solitary arrangement is unfair?"
Hearing Mi Yang's inquiry, the uneasiness on Ma Chao's face became thicker.
Ma Chao hurriedly bowed to Mi Yang and explained: "The minister doesn't dare. ”
Like being afraid of Liu Bei, Ma Chao is also afraid of Mi Yang.
Ma Chao's fear of Mi Yang not only stems from Mi Yang's great military exploits, but also stems from Mi Yang's current status.
The position of the hussar general is very noble, but the general is above the three dukes, and he has the right to save the horse.
Coupled with his bad reputation, Ma Chao believed that if Mi Yang wanted to kill him, it would be just a matter of words.
Seeing that Ma Chao was becoming more and more uneasy, Mi Yang sighed and told Ma Chao what he really thought.
"Since the First World War in Liangzhou, doesn't the hussar general still know Lone's mind?
The reason why Lone has not let you go into battle is mainly because of your body! ”
During the Battle of Yinping, Ma Chao suffered many wounds, almost life-threatening for a time.
It is true that Ma Chao's body is good, and his heart disease has improved a lot under Mi Yang's measures, which made him barely pick up a life.
But the root of the disease finally fell in Ma Chao's body.
After all, Ma Chao is over forty years old, and he is already an old man in his forties.
Mi Yang knows this thing, and Ma Chao himself naturally knows it.
So when Mi Yang's answer fell into Ma Chao's ears, he raised his head and looked at Mi Yang in surprise.
At the same time of surprise, the uneasiness in Ma Chao's eyes disappeared, and was replaced by a look of emotion.
He thought about many possibilities, but he never came, Mi Yang was worried about his physical condition, so he never let him go into battle.
Ma Chao didn't expect this to be strange, after all, if this was not said by Mi Yang himself, how could Ma Chao believe that there would be people in the world who cared about his body besides Ma Dai?
I'm afraid that people in the world will only pay attention to how much use value Ma Mengqi, the rebel son of the Ma family, has.
When Ma Chao looked at Mi Yang with emotion, Mi Yang continued:
"Although you are as brave as General Zuo, you and I both know that your body is difficult to withstand high-intensity combat.
Your loyalty to the Han Dynasty and your repentance for the past have been known from the Yinping War.
And as time goes on, more and more people in the world will know about it.
You don't have to risk your life anymore, and Lone doesn't want you to risk your life to make contributions to the Han Dynasty.
When we are still in the old capital in the future, I will do your best.
With your identity, your merits will not be weaker than other generals.
In the history books of a hundred years later, you and the Han Dynasty will also have a good beginning and a good end, and the monarch and the minister will get along, why not be good? ”
Mi Yang had already planned the future for Ma Chao in his heart.
He also feels that such a future is the best for Ma Chao.
As the commander of the first army, Mi Yang should have stood in the perspective of the overall situation and brought out all the remaining value of Ma Chao.
If this can be done, Mi Yang will definitely do some things better.
After all, Ma Chao is the enemy of 10,000 people on the same level as Zhao Yun.
But Mi Yang is a person who knows how to be grateful, and Mi Yang knows that if there was no Ma Chao in the first battle of Yinping, he would never have been able to hold on to the end and win the battle of Nanzheng.
Ma Chao has not lived up to him, so he naturally has to think about Ma Chao wholeheartedly.
Mi Yang's love for Ma Chao was overflowing, and Mi Yang's words made Ma Chao's heart more and more moved.
But in the end, he raised his head and said to Mi Yang:
"Dying on the sickbed like General Huang is not what the minister wants.
If there is really a day that I can't bear to say, the minister hopes that on that day, the minister will still hold the lance in his hand! ”
Ma Chao knew that Mi Yang was for his good, but would he be afraid of death?
Man is born to die, but what he wants is the end of the horse leather shroud.
Ma Chao's tone was very generous.
And in his gaze when he looked at Mi Yang at this moment, there was a firmness of Mi Yang's déjà vu.
Such a firm look appeared when Ma Chao took over the task of guarding Yinping.
"Qing"
Mi Yang wanted to persuade again, but his words were blocked by Ma Chao first.
"If the general really wants to become a super, please ask the general to give the minister a chance to shroud the body of a horse leather!"
When he said this, Ma Chao, who has always been proud, bowed deeply to Mi Yang three times.
In the present day, the ritual of prostrations was usually reserved for monarchs, elders, or benefactors.
Ma Chao is now offering Mi Yang three bows, not only to thank Mi Yang for his maintenance, but also to solemnly ask Mi Yang to agree to his request.
Ma Chao's three bows moved Mi Yang's face.
That words of persuasion were finally swallowed back into his stomach by Mi Yang.
"There is a secret report in Chang'an, and in the near future, Cao Rong will send a support army to rescue Chang'an.
The commander of the support army will be Xu Chu, and Lone will let you go when the time comes. ”
After saying this, Mi Yang waved his hand and said to Ma Chao:
"Stand down."
After hearing that his request was responded to, and that he was about to fight against Xu Chu again, Ma Chao was very excited.
The last regret in my heart finally has a chance to make up for it.
"Thank you, General!"
Early in the morning of the second day, 50,000 Han troops assembled in the western siege city to the sound of high war drums.
When the 50,000 Han troops were assembled, Zhao Yun bowed to Mi Yang on the city wall, and then gave the order to the 50,000 Han troops behind him.
Under the order to go out, 50,000 Han troops and a group of Han generals who accompanied the army shouted in unison.
Then the 50,000 Han army, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, began to cross the Weishui like an unstoppable torrent.
Zhao Yun's previous attacks failed to capture the Wei army camp in Weibei, but he still succeeded in allowing the Han army to establish a base in Weibei.
The existence of this base area can prevent the Han army from being attacked by the Wei army when crossing the Weishui, and thus avoid the fatigue of the Han army to cross the Weishui by detour.
Escorted by warships, the well-trained 50,000 Han troops all crossed the Weishui River to Weibei within an hour.
And the tens of thousands of Han troops fighting to cross Weishui naturally couldn't hide the scouts of the Wei army.
Not long after, Guo Huai, who was in the Wei army camp, learned the news that it was like death coming.
Upon learning that his food routes had been cut off, Guo Huai deduced that perhaps the Han army would launch an onslaught on his camp soon.
Therefore, when this day really came, Guo Huai's heart was far more sad than panicked.
In the past, he had repelled the attacks of the Han army several times, but could the situation in the past be the same as today?
In the past, the Wei army's grain route was never cut off, and with his good command, the battalion was impregnable.
But now the news of the cut off of the grain road has already spread throughout the whole army, and the morale of the current Wei army can be said to be very low.
Without morale, how could he, Guo Huai, have the ability of Han Hou, how could he resist the Han army's onslaught again?
What's more, according to the scouts, the number of Han troops dispatched today is tens of thousands!
It seems that Mi Yang has made up his mind to take his head today.
Guo Huai didn't think about retreating, but without Cao Zhen's order, once he led the army to retreat without authorization, it was tantamount to giving Weibei to Mi Yang.
And if the Han army occupies Weibei, Mi Yang's army can be connected with the Han army on the east bank of Wugong Water, once this situation is formed, tens of thousands of Wei troops can be completely surrounded by Mi Yang's army!
Guo Huai can't afford such a responsibility, and he has only one way to fight to the death at the moment.
As long as Cao Zhen can send reinforcements in time, then Weibei will not necessarily fall into the hands of the Han army today.
Thinking of this, Guo Huai ordered the deputy general to gather the sergeants on the one hand, and on the other hand, urgently sent a messenger to Wuzhangyuan on the other side to ask Cao Zhen for help.
By the time Guo Huai had arranged these two things, the 50,000 Han troops had already finished their formations and were slowly approaching the Wei army camp not far away.
Standing on the wall of the western wall, Mi Yang, with the help of his condescending advantage, could clearly see the march of his own army.
There was a messenger galloping out of the Wei army camp, and naturally he couldn't escape his gaze.
But Mi Yang did not order the messenger to be intercepted.
He wanted Cao Zhen to lead the army to rescue Guo Huai in Weibei.
Just one Guo Huai, is it worthy of him to use an army of 50,000?
Just a Guo Huai, is he worthy of the prime minister's stargazing at night?
He said that the sword soldiers started in Weibei, and when a general star fell, he did not say that there would be only one general star falling today.
Today will be the day when many generals of the Wei army and Guanxi will have a common starset!
