Chapter 612: The Last Step Zhang He's Trick
Outside the city of Chencang, inside the camp of the Han army.
Holding the battle report delivered yesterday in his hand, Zhuge Liang's face still has a strong joy on his face to this day.
Zhuge Liang has confidence in Mi Yang, just as Mi Yang did to him.
But confidence is confidence, when he learned that the Han army under the leadership of Mi Yang had achieved that great results, Zhuge Liang still couldn't control his emotions.
It's no wonder that Zhuge Liang's qi cultivation kung fu is not good, but it is really for anyone who has the Han family in his heart to keep calm about the results of the first battle of Wuzhangyuan.
When Zhuge Liang repeatedly watched the battle report in his hand, Yang Yi happened to walk into the account with a case roll.
After seeing Zhuge Liang's movements and expression, Yang Yi's face was also filled with an uncontrollable smile.
It's just that the business can't be delayed.
Yang Yi called softly:
"Prime Minister!"
After hearing Yang Yi's call and seeing the case in his hand, Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Of course, Zhuge Liang knew what the case in Yang Yi's hands was about.
It was about the grain and grass of Miyang's 100,000-strong army.
Originally, after Mi Yang took over the military power from Liu Bei in Shangtai, Liu Bei thought that he could still shine, so he personally supervised the transfer of grain and grass for Mi Yang.
But after Zhuge Liang came to Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang, who learned of Liu Bei's physical condition, jointly wrote a letter with Mi Yang, asking Liu Bei to put down his government affairs and return to Nanzheng City to recuperate.
In the face of the earnest persuasion of the two important ministers, Liu Bei was reluctant to go down in every possible way, and was coaxed and deceived by Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang to Nanzheng.
Mainly after Zhuge Liang arrived, Liu Bei's role in staying in Guanzhong was really not big
After Liu Bei returned to Nanzheng to recuperate, Zhuge Liang took on the important task of ensuring the logistics and transportation of 100,000 Han troops.
Just being responsible for the consumption of grain, grass, ordnance, transshipment, hoarding and other affairs of the 100,000-strong army is very laborious.
But Zhuge Liang not only did not feel tired, but his whole body was full of energy.
More importantly, even though most of Zhuge Liang's energy was involved in the heavy logistics affairs of the army, Hao Zhao in Chen Cangcheng still failed to break through the defense line set by Zhuge Liang.
Hao Zhao has a set of defending the city, and in history, Hao Zhao did repel Zhuge Liang's onslaught with the help of Chen Cangcheng's city defense.
But if Hao Zhao led the army out of the city to fight, it would be a big deal.
Zhuge Liang took the heavy case from Yang Yi's hand with a smile in his eyes, and then he said to Yang Yi with a smile:
"In recent days, Zisheng has written to inquire about my grain and grass.
This child, obviously worried about the lack of food and grass, never showed a hurried tone in the letter.
I knew he was worried that I was too tired. ”
In front of his henchman Yang Yi, Zhuge Liang undoubtedly showed Mi Yang's personal feelings.
From Zhuge Liang's tone, it can be seen that he treats Mi Yang as his own Lantingzhi tree.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Yang Yi couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
But with a good Qi cultivation kung fu, Yang Yi still tried her best to put on a decent face and said:
"The general can be described as sincere and filial to the prime minister."
Yang Yi's words made Zhuge Liang raise his eyebrows, and the smile on his face was a little more.
"I know Zisheng's filial piety.
But now Zisheng is fighting for the Han Dynasty on the front line, and he will be able to surround Chang'an in a few days. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang unfolded the case on the case and carefully reviewed it.
When Yang Yi saw Zhuge Liang start working, he wanted to get up and go out.
But when Yang Yi got up and walked to the door, Zhuge Liang said to Yang Yi:
Send someone to shoot the news of Cao Zhen's "trapped in Wuzhang Plain" into the city. ”
Zhuge Liang's words made Yang Yi's expression tighten.
He knew that Zhuge Liang was going to officially attack Hao Zhao in Chen Cang City.
Yang Yi knew the news of Cao Zhen's death in Wuzhangyuan, but Hao Zhao, who was trapped in the city, did not know.
And once Hao Zhao learned the news that Cao Zhen was surrounded by the Han army and was in danger, could Hao Zhao still sit in the city?
As long as Hao Zhao can be lured out of Chen Cang, then the ownership of Chen Cangcheng is, to be honest, only in Zhuge Liang's thoughts.
But Zhuge Liang's next words made Yang Yi's urge to laugh stronger and stronger.
"When Zisheng led his army to Wuzhangyuan, I had a gambling contract with him.
Let's see if he takes Chang'an first, or I take Chen Cang first.
Now that Zisheng is about to surround Chang'an, it's time for me to make a move.
If you gamble for the first time in your life, you can't lose to your own children. ”
Zhuge Liang's tone was flat but a little helpless.
Unexpectedly, the reason why the prime minister was determined to take down Hao Zhao was not that he was worried that Hao Zhao would cause trouble to the Han army.
It's just that I don't want to lose a bet with my own kids.
Hao Zhao is a member of the Wei State guarding Chen Cang, if Hao Zhao knew Zhuge Liang's thoughts, he would probably vomit blood in anger.
It's just that when she thought of Mi Yang, who had just won a big victory, Yang Yi was relieved.
Compared with the oath Mi Yang made beside Weishui, Zhuge Liang, as a master, has already restrained the self-confidence in his heart very hard.
This pair of master and apprentice.
After Yang Yi bowed to Zhuge Liang, he was ordered to walk out of the tent.
After Yang Yi walked out of the tent, what caught his eye was the soldiers on duty and patrolling outside the tent.
And no matter which soldier it was, there was a strange look on his face.
This strange look is called forbearance and joy.
Well, it can't be said to be similar to the look on Yang Yi's Zhuge Liang's face just now, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
It's just that why does the Han army have such a strange look?
The victory of Wuzhangyuan is a happy event worth celebrating, if you want to cheer, you can cheer, so why suppress yourself?
The internal reason, as a party, Yang Yi knows best.
After the great victory of Wuzhangyuan in the First Battle, it was already a foreseeable fact that Chang'an was surrounded by the Han army.
It's okay to cheer now, but why not wait until Chang'an is officially taken back by Mi Yang, and then have a complete carnival?
Otherwise, if the general takes Chang'an in a few days, what if they are not enthusiastic enough after the carnival by then.
You have to be restrained, a "merely" five-zhangyuan victory is a normal performance for the general, and it is not worth it
Before Yang Yi could do a good job of psychological construction for himself, he quickly left the big tent without being able to help it.
And after Yang Yi left, Zhuge Liang in the big tent looked at the documents on the bookcase, but his spirit was a little unable to concentrate for a while.
His gaze couldn't help but look at the Gojohara good news that was set aside.
Zhuge Liang subconsciously stretched out his hand and walked towards the good news.
A moment later, the good news fell into Zhuge Liang's hands again.
His fingers rubbed the cover of the war report, thinking of the many achievements recorded in the war report, Zhuge Liang could no longer hold back the joy in his heart.
A hearty laugh came out of his mouth.
While laughing, Zhuge Liang clapped the good news in his palm with his other hand, as if he was playing drums to celebrate Mi Yang.
Or rather, he is celebrating his ideals for the big man!
Over the decades, how many heroes have spilled their blood on the battlefield.
Finally, finally!
Their ideal is no longer ethereal, but its contours can be clearly felt in the hand.
Just one step away, just one step away!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge Liang felt a burning feeling flowing in his heart.
It was the ideal temperature in his heart.
And that blazing heat also made Zhuge Liang completely intoxicated with strong anticipation and joy.
Zisheng, only the last step is left.
People all over the world are watching you.
A hundred years and thousands of years later, future generations will also look at you in the history books in the future.
Definitely, definitely, let Dahan successfully take this last step!
At the beginning of October of the fifth year of Han Zhangwu.
After initially raising a batch of grain and grass, Mi Yang led tens of thousands of Han troops towards Chang'an.
Huaili City is located at the junction of Fufeng County and Jingzhao County, so it didn't take a few days for tens of thousands of Han troops to enter Jingzhao County unimpeded.
Chang'an is the county seat of Jingzhao County!
The movements of the Han army were soon discovered by the scouts sent by Cao Zhang.
When it was learned that nearly 100,000 Han troops under the leadership of Mi Yang were constantly pressing towards Chang'an, the panic in the hearts of the people in Chang'an City reached its peak.
Not only the people, but even the Wei generals in Chang'an City, after they learned the news, their performance was not much better.
What is called a great victory, it seems to be unmatched.
The tens of thousands of Han troops who had just won the victory of Wuzhangyuan and broke the backbone of the Wei army were undoubtedly the best carrier to interpret these four words.
At present, the main general guarding Chang'an City is Cao Zhang, who was lucky enough to pick up a life from the street pavilion before.
And his lieutenants are Zhang He and Xiahou Nan.
Zhang He is good at the army, Xiahou Nan is good at governance, and Cao Zhang himself is also quite familiar with military strategy.
In terms of the configuration of generals alone, Chang'an's defense is not bad.
But the important thing is that the defenders in Chang'an City are not 10,000 at the moment, only a few thousand.
Despite the city defense of Chang'an City, thousands of Wei troops may not be able to hold Chang'an City.
But when the catastrophe is approaching, who doesn't want to fight for more opportunities to survive?
And that line of opportunity, in the eyes of Cao Zhang's three people, was the tens of thousands of reinforcements that Xu Chu was rushing from Luoyang.
In the eyes of Cao Zhang, as long as Xu Chu can lead tens of thousands of Wei troops into Chang'an City before Miyang besieges the city.
So with Chang'an's strong city defense, it is not difficult for the three of them to defend Chang'an City.
Judging from the information received, it seems that Mi Yang is leading the army to Chang'an City one step ahead, which makes Cao Zhang unable to calm down.
Time!
What he needs most right now is time.
But how can he fight for this rare time?
This is also the reason why Cao Zhang summoned Zhang He and Xiahou Nan to come today.
"At the moment, the enemy army is strong, and it is about to come to the city.
The three of you and I are both prosperous and lossy, and I hope that the second secretary has some clever plan, but I can say it quickly. ”
Cao Zhang looked at Zhang He and Xiahou Mao anxiously.
In the past few days, because he was worried about the safety of Chang'an City, he had never slept peacefully.
The huge mental pressure in the past few days has almost turned Cao Zhang's yellow beard into a white beard.
And after seeing Cao Zhang's eager eyes, Xiahou Nan hurriedly pinned his face to the side.
He is not familiar with military strategy, and he is famous in the entire Cao Wei sect.
The current battle situation seems to him to be a mess, how can he have good advice?
After seeing Xiahou Nan's movements, Cao Zhangzhen wanted to go up and give Xiahou Nan a punch.
But for the sake of the overall situation, Cao Zhang still resisted this impulse.
After losing hope for Xiahou Nan, Cao Zhang could only pour all his hope into Zhang He.
When Emperor Wu was alive, he praised you for "unparalleled change", and even Liu Bei took you very seriously.
You should use your wits and come up with a solution!
Cao Zhang's gaze was too hot, and Zhang He, who was burning, couldn't stand it.
But he also knew that the situation was critical, so his brain was spinning rapidly.
How to fight a city defense battle where the enemy is strong and I am weak, there have been too many examples of war throughout the ages.
Even if you don't trace the excellent examples that are too far away, Zhang He also has a mature strategy in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, the defenders of the city can take a defensive position of dividing troops outside the city and acting as horns for each other.
This can be well prevented, and the Han army successfully crossed the moat.
But right now, the people in the city are panicking, and I'm afraid that no Wei general is willing to rashly lead the troops out.
So obviously, this approach is not going to work.
What's more, what Cao Zhang wants at the moment is how to delay the pace of the Han army, and it is not purely a strategy to defend the city.
In this way, the difficulty is undoubtedly higher.
But Zhang He deserves to be Zhang He, just when Cao Zhang's eyes were about to glow, Zhang He finally came up with a plan.
"Your Highness, our army can take a trick to surrender."
As soon as Zhang He's voice fell, before Cao Zhang could react, Xiahou Nan cast a surprised look at Zhang He.
Even after Cao Zhang's reaction, his gaze at Zhang He was full of doubts.
After the First World War in Xicheng, the allusion of Meng Da's broken hair and Cao Ren has already spread all over the world.
At the same time that Meng Da became famous, Mi Yang was also crowned with the reputation of a good deceitful plan.
After all, before Meng Da, who would have expected that Mi Yang would come up with the lore of breaking the invention and completely trick Cao Ren into a dead end.
And Zhang He is actually going to use the deception plan in front of Mi Yang, who is good at making deception, is this idea too difficult to realize.
Facing the surprised eyes of Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan, Zhang He explained:
"The two generals thought that my idea would not succeed because of Mi Yang's reputation for being good at deceitful schemes.
And even the two generals thought so, let alone Mi Yang?
As the saying goes, the art of war is more important than the truth.
Mi Yang has not been defeated since he came out, which must have made him proud in his heart, especially in what he is good at.
Under the accumulation of arrogance, there are often times when you are careless.
Moreover, it is common sense for people to promote their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
In this common sense, he probably did not expect that we would instead go up to the challenge and deceive him in what he was good at.
Not only would he not think of it, but others would not think about it. ”
When Zhang He finished saying this reason, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan's eyes lit up.
Whether what Zhang He said is reasonable or not can be seen from the spontaneous reaction of the two of them.
And Zhang He continued: "Recently, there are many people in Guanzhong who have surrendered to Mi Yang, not to mention that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and Chang'an is in danger.
With the current situation, it is even more reasonable that some people in Chang'an City want to surrender to him
I don't have any doubts! ”
Zhang He's words made Cao Zhang and Xiahou Nan rise hope in their hearts.
Looks like you can really do it!
