Chapter 610: Collecting Grain and Grass The Lonely City of Chang'an
At the end of September of the fifth year of Han Zhangwu, an explosive news spread throughout Guanzhong at an extremely fast speed.
On September 23, the fifth year of Han Zhangwu, the general of Han used a trick to lure the enemy and lured tens of thousands of Wei troops out of Wuzhangyuan.
On that day, tens of thousands of Han troops and tens of thousands of Wei troops fought fiercely on the north bank of Weishui.
When the two armies were fighting, the Han general Mi Yang personally led another Han army to attack Wuzhangyuan, cutting off the return route of tens of thousands of Wei troops and burning the Wei army camp in Wuzhangyuan.
Seeing that the camp had been lost, most of the tens of thousands of Wei troops were disheartened, and knelt down to ask for surrender to the Han army.
"The army has defected, and the blades are all over the ground!"
"The soldiers are rushing to kneel first, and they can't stop!"
Within a day, most of the tens of thousands of elite Wei army field soldiers became prisoners of the Han army.
Compared with the capture of tens of thousands of Wei troops, what is even more unacceptable is that the command system of the Wei army in Guanzhong in this battle was almost devastated.
Wei general Cao Zhen, Li Yuan, commander of the horses, Liang Cheng, Wang An, Zhao Yi, Yang Yu, and more than 30 senior generals of the Wei army died in the battle.
Twenty middle- and upper-level generals, including Li Chong, Dai Ling, the general of Kou Zhonglang, and Cao Wan, the general of Zhenxi, swore blood to kill Mi Yang on the bank of the Weishui River.
Yongzhou Assassin Shi Guo Huai, Huwei General Wang Shuang and other more than a dozen famous people in the world will be captured by Mi Yang.
There is still a way to find a name, and as for those who are not easy to find names, the dead and injured Wei Jiang is even more unknown.
How could the command system of the Wei army not be called devastating when it suffered such a serious blow?
When the above news quickly spread throughout Guanzhong, the situation in the entire Guanzhong became more and more turbulent.
This news is too high.
The heads of the families who had already raised their flags to submit to the Han Dynasty had rushed around the county town to tell each other the good news, and many people even cried with joy.
They didn't bet on the wrong bet!
General Mi is still as fierce as ever!
Which family in the world has no idea of strange goods in their hearts?
Originally, those family heads who were still waiting, after learning this explosive news, on the one hand, they were shocked by the military prestige of the Han army, and on the other hand, they did not hesitate at all, and decisively replaced the flag of their own county with the red banner of the Han family.
Regardless of whether the previous approach of each family head in Guanzhong is the same.
But after learning that Mi Yang led the army into Huaili, the head of the family who was counted in Guanzhong either went in person, or sent the eldest son of the family as an envoy to Huaili to meet Mi Yang.
Because there were too many representatives of the family who came, Mi Yang, who was busy with military affairs, really couldn't meet them one by one, so he could only focus on selecting most of the representative figures.
Among those people, Mi Yang was definitely the one he cared about the most at the beginning.
According to the previous agreement between him and Yang Biao, there is still a family affair between him and Hongnong Yang.
Originally, Mi Yang didn't want to take a concubine, but in terms of the situation at that time, unless he personally accepted the daughter of the Yang family by his side, it was not enough for Yang Biao to win his trust.
Of course, with Hongnong Yang's family background, it is difficult for the concubines in his house to accept being someone else's concubine under normal circumstances.
But who called that person Mi Yang?
Besides, Mi Yang's wife is Guan Yan, and with Guan Yan's status in the Han Dynasty, Hongnong Yang doesn't have the courage to think about Guan Yan's wife.
Yang Huan was very excited when he saw Mi Yang.
Yang Huan had never seen Mi Yang before, but he had heard too many deeds of Mi Yang.
Mi Yang's deeds are enough to make any peer admire.
Of course, the most important thing is that at the moment, Mi Yang can be said to be the political umbrella of Hongnong Yang.
With this, it is enough to make Yang Huan full of respect when he meets Mi Yang.
In the face of Yang Huan's big gift to pay homage, Mi Yang also took the initiative to support Yang Huan's intimate move.
After helping Yang Huan, Mi Yang immediately said to Yang Huan:
"Lonely days ago, he had already played His Majesty, asking for the posthumous title of the third duke of Yang Gong and the position of liehou, and let the great Confucian of the current world draft a nickname for Yang Gong.
It won't take a few days before His Majesty's edict will come to Huaili. ”
Hearing Mi Yang mention Yang Biao, tears appeared in Yang Huan's eyes.
But at the same time, there was also joy on his face.
Based on what Yang Biao did before he died, it was expected that the Han would give him a third duke's honor and praise.
But the matter of sealing the marquis was something that Yang Huan had never thought of before.
In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, it is not that there has been no story of posthumously enshrined the dead minister as a liehou, but this move is not more of an honorary reward, but a reward of practical benefits.
Because once Yang Biao was posthumously named a liehou, then according to common sense, Yang Huan, as a descendant of Yang Biao's relatives, could inherit Yang Biao's position as a liehou.
Yang Huan, who is proficient in etiquette, how could he not know this?
Relying on the merits of his ancestors to become a liege, this is the affirmation of the Han Dynasty's contribution to Hongnong Yang, and it also shows Mi Yang's attitude:
He will fulfill his original promise and escort the Hongnong Yang family in the coming days.
Mi Yang's attitude is very direct, and Mi Yang's attitude is what makes Yang Huan really happy.
Because of the joy in his heart, Yang Huan didn't know what to say for a while.
He could only thank Mi Yang.
And after appeasing Yang Huan, Mi Yang looked at Su Ze who was present.
The reason why Guanzhong was able to set off such a warm wave of righteousness before, Yang Biao naturally made great contributions to it, but Su Ze's contribution should not be underestimated.
It can be said that Su Ze's action of killing Cao Gon completely added the most fierce fire to Guanzhong, which was already full of dry firewood.
Su Ze saw Mi Yang looking at him, and he immediately got up and bowed to Mi Yang, waiting for Mi Yang's instructions.
But what Mi Yang said to Su Ze at the beginning was this:
When he heard that Su Gong had raised righteousness before, he used "dare to change the sky" to explain his ambition.
Now that the 100,000 soldiers of the Han Dynasty are here, it can be said that the blue sky has changed? ”
After hearing Mi Yang's words, Su Ze was stunned at first.
Then he reacted, and a smile appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that the original slogan would spread into Mi Yang's ears.
It's just that Su Ze, who has a strong temperament, naturally won't answer Mi Yang's inquiry.
Su Ze bowed deeply to Mi Yang and said: "What is the appearance of the blue sky, I will see you today!" ”
For Su Ze's pun, everyone present laughed knowingly.
Yes, the 100,000 armored Han troops can symbolize the national prestige of the Han Dynasty, so it is natural to compare the 100,000 Han troops to the blue sky of the people of Guanzhong.
But among the people here, who is not a deep person in the city.
Su Ze looked at Mi Xuan's gaze when he said this, which obviously revealed the second meaning of his words.
How could Mi Yang not be the blue sky of the Kansai family?
There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly.
After Mi Yang listened to Su Ze's answer, a slight smile appeared on his face.
Whether you should say it or not, you have to listen to the children of the family to listen to the praise.
It's just that after Mi Yang finished laughing, he let out another sigh and said:
"At present, although most of Guanzhong has been recovered, Chang'an is still in the hands of the anti-Wei.
Lone had made a military order to His Majesty that he would recover Chang'an for the Han Dynasty before this year.
This year is less than three months away from the end of the year, and the time is pressing, which makes Gu quite worried every time he thinks about it! ”
Whether you should say it or not, you have to look at Mi Yang to see the change of face.
All the heads of the Kansai family here saw that Mi Yang's face suddenly became full of sadness, which also made their hearts flutter.
At present, they are all betting on the future of their respective families on Mi Yang.
In this case, they absolutely cannot tolerate any setbacks in Mi Yang.
Su Ze also understood the reason why Mi Yang had just set his eyes on him.
Among the many heads of the Kansai family here, he has military merits, and he is currently the rear general of the Han Dynasty, so there are some things that he can only take the initiative to ask.
Su Ze took a step forward, bowed to Mi Yang and asked:
"Although Chang'an is a strong city, the divine power of the general has definitely been introduced into Chang'an City.
Thinking that it was a time when people were panicking in Chang'an City, why should the general worry too much? ”
Su offered his opinion.
For the first time, Mi Yang affirmed Su Ze's opinion.
"Of course, what Su Gong said is extremely true."
After saying this, Mi Yang suddenly changed his words, and said in an accentuated sigh: "What you don't know is that it has been nearly a year since our army entered the Guanzhong battle.
Today, our army's food and grass gradually feel like it is beyond its means.
What I am worried about is that once our army is cut off from food and grass, even if our army has the heart to capture Chang'an, it will not have the strength to capture Chang'an! ”
Mi Yang spoke eloquently about the worries in his heart.
And after listening to Mi Yang's worries, the faces of all the family heads present changed in unison.
They were not members of Miyang's army, but Miyang suddenly revealed military secrets such as the shortage of food and grass to them.
So isn't Mi Yang's purpose obvious?
What Mi Yang wants to do is one thing that any bold person will do - collect grain from the major families!
All the heads of the family heard the unfinished meaning of Mi Yang's words.
But it is this unfinished meaning that makes many family heads have a look of hesitation on their faces.
Do they have food in their hands?
There must be that.
Don't look at the fact that the Kansai family has been quite politically silent in recent years, and Guanzhong has been repeatedly warred in the early years, but the geographical location of the Kansai family is too good.
The vast Weishui flows through the place, and a vast and fertile plain is constructed in Guanzhong.
The wealth of the Guanzhong Plain is famous all over the world.
With this unique geographical condition, although the grain stored in the homes of many Kansai families cannot be compared with the heyday, it can be regarded as "thin surplus grain".
It is precisely because they have a lot of savings that most of the heads of the Kansai family hesitate when faced with Mi Yang's implicit request for grain requisition.
Donating food is a heart-wrenching affair for them.
What's more, who knows how big the food gap of the Han army is?
What if their savings are drained?
The hesitation of many family heads can't escape Mi Yang's eyes, but he didn't get angry because of this, he just quietly looked at those family heads with hesitation on their faces first.
If it weren't for the shortage of food and grass in the army, Mi Yang would have been killed in Chang'an.
And if it weren't for the purpose of collecting grain and grass, Mi Yang wouldn't have had much of the heart to meet with these family heads.
The atmosphere in the lobby became a little dull for a while.
After Yang Huan saw the atmosphere in the lobby change, an eager look appeared on his face.
If it weren't for the fact that his family base was in Hongnong, he would have brought all the grain stored at home to Mi Yang.
Seeing that many family heads did not respond to Mi Yang, Yang was so anxious that he was about to speak in person to persuade him.
And just before Yang Huan was about to speak, a loud voice suddenly resounded in the lobby.
"Jingzhao Du clan, I am willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of stones, thinking that the general's military resources!"
The person who shouted this was none other than Du Shu, the contemporary head of the Jingzhao Du family.
Du Shu was the son of the famous minister Du Ji.
At the beginning of this year, Du Ji was unfortunately killed because he was overboard because of the construction of a royal ship for Cao Pi, and when Du Ji died, Du Shu inherited the position of Du Ji's head of the family.
also because of the mourning, so Du Shu did not appear this year and has been staying in his hometown.
Although Du Yi is a capable minister praised by Cao Pi many times, Du Shu is a person who understands current affairs.
After the news of Su Ze's righteousness reached Jingzhao before, Du Shu judged that the Great Wei was exhausted in Guanzhong, so he also pulled up the banner of righteousness.
After learning the news that Mi Yang led the army to Huaili, Du Shu also rushed to Huaili in person for the sake of the future of Jingzhao Du's family.
Because of Du Ji's reputation, all the heads of the family here know Du Shu.
However, Du Shu was still in charge of the Jingzhao Du clan and his reputation was insufficient, so his seat was not in the front, and even Mi Yang did not notice him.
Unexpectedly, it was such an inconspicuous Du Shu who took the lead in breaking the silence in the lobby.
And the reason why Du Shu dared to be the first for everyone was the idea of strange goods.
The lack of fame is his biggest deficiency at present.
But Du Shu knew that the more this time, the more he couldn't follow the rules.
In terms of the current situation, as long as he is the first to respond to Mi Yang, then he will inevitably be looked at differently by Mi Yang.
Otherwise, what will the Jingzhao Du clan do in the future to compete with the Fufeng Su clan and the Hongnong Yang clan, who hugged Miyang's thighs early?
It's just that Du Shu took the lead in offering food, but it also caused dissatisfaction among many family heads present.
Didn't Du Shu's actions roast them on the fire?
Presumptuous, really presumptuous.
But as Du Shu expected, his behavior attracted Mi Yang's attention.
After learning Du Shu's identity from Yang Huan on the side, Mi Yang said to Du Shu in front of everyone:
"Jingzhao Du's heart to serve the country is already known.
Lonely will play Your Majesty, and suggest that Your Majesty let you win your love.
After the love is taken, you will come to the lonely account to be the main bookkeeper! ”
Mi Yang's words made Du Shu excited.
Strange goods can live, strange goods can live!
And after rewarding Du Shu, Mi Yang, who had successfully opened a hole, changed his face again.
His face can be called serious.
"Could it be that in Guanzhong, there is only the Jingzhao Du family's loyalty?"
Mi Yang's question, after falling into the ears of the head of the family here, made their eyes show fear.
At this moment, they realized that Mi Yang was their blue sky, but the blue sky would also turn into a cloudy sky.
What's more, with Du Shu's speech, they no longer have an excuse to excuse themselves.
Mi Yang's serious look frightened all the family heads present, and they stood up one after another and offered food to Mi Yang.
Under the "enthusiastic service to the country" of the heads of the families, the shortage of grain and grass in the Han army was basically solved.
Mi Yang, who got a satisfactory result, finally smiled and asked the heads of the family to leave, and escorted the grain and grass to Huaili as soon as possible.
Among the family heads, only Su Ze looked at Mi Yang with uneasy eyes before leaving.
But feeling a cold sweat on his back, he could only leave the lobby with some anxiety in his arms.
After the heads of the family left, Mi Yang recalled the food offerings of the heads of the families just now, and his eyes were leisurely and he didn't know what he was thinking.
It is true that he has summoned all the heads of the family to collect grain today, but it has more than that.
Even if they have suffered from military disasters, are they still so rich?
Scold.
Mi Yang, who realized a certain point, turned to Ding Feng and asked, "Do you think the great Han established by Taizu is good?" Or is it better to establish a great Han dynasty? ”
Mi Yang's question made Ding Feng stunned.
He didn't know why Mi Yang would ask such a question.
Ding Feng's stunned look made Mi Yang not care.
Because he already has an answer in his heart.
Then Mi Yang said to Ding Fengyan: "Send an urgent message to the hussar general, so that he must block the enemy's reinforcements." ”
"I want Chang'an to be completely reduced to an isolated city.
It is called that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual! ”
