In the end, in order to show his sincerity, Mi Yang personally sent the two envoys out of the camp.

Mi Yang's actions happened to be seen by Huang Quan, who came to him to report the military situation.

After seeing the scene in front of him, Huang Quan did not immediately stop Mi Yang, but quietly watched the two envoys leave.

When the figure of the envoy was completely invisible, Huang Quan came behind Mi Yang and called out to him:

"General."

Hearing Huang Quan's voice, Mi Yang withdrew his gaze from Chang'an City, he turned to look at Huang Quan behind him and asked:

"What's the matter?"

Faced with Mi Yang's inquiry, Huang Quan replied:

"The hussar general sent someone to report that he had found the enemy's forward tracks."

Huang Quan's report made Mi Yang's thoughts drift to a place a hundred miles away.

The place is called Tongguan.

Tongguan is actually a fresh pass name for the world.

Because this pass was built by Cao Cao decades ago.

Compared with Hangu Pass, which has enjoyed great fame in the world for hundreds of years, Tongguan is not very famous.

So far, it has only shown its majesty a little once in the Battle of Guanzhong that year.

But Mi Yang, who came from later generations, knew that in terms of the degree of danger, Tongguan was definitely above Hangu Pass.

Because throughout the history books of the previous and subsequent generations, there are examples of Hangu Pass being lost under strict guards, but Tongguan is almost non-existent.

Since the Three Kingdoms, Tongguan has always been the most important pass in the land of Guanzhong.

Mi Yang sent Ma Chao to block Xu Chu, not only to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but also to take Tongguan.

Once Tongguan fell into the hands of the Han army, then Luoyang was only guarded by a disrepaired Hangu Pass in front of the Han army.

Taking Tongguan will play an important role in helping the Han army to go east in the future.

Is it just that Ma Chao can complete the task he gave him?

Mi Yang didn't have a definite answer to this point.

"Does Gong Heng think that the hussar general can successfully defeat the enemy's reinforcements?"

Mi Yang's sudden inquiry made Huang Quan stunned.

But it is obvious that Huang Quan has already thought about this issue in his heart.

So after being stunned for a while, Huang Quan quickly replied:

"The hussar generals led most of our elite cavalry, which were quick and not easily detected by the enemy.

With mental calculations or unintentional, and the topography of the Guanzhong Plain is conducive to our cavalry, it is not difficult for the hussar general to defeat the enemy's reinforcements. ”

Huang Quan's answer made Mi Yang nod.

"Then will the hussar general be able to take Tongguan again?"

If Mi Yang's first question made Huang Quan not show hesitation, Huang Quan obviously showed hesitation about Mi Yang's current question.

This is not to blame Huang Quanzhi for being late.

Any resourcefulness requires a certain amount of intelligence.

In terms of the actual situation at the moment, few of the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, except for Mi Yang, have enough understanding of the steepness of Tongguan.

Most of the Han courtiers, including Liu Bei, all of them had their eyes fixed on Chang'an, not realizing that now was the best time for the Han army to take Tongguan.

Huang Quan's hesitation was noticed by Mi Yang.

Realizing that Huang Quan couldn't answer, Mi Yang chuckled and said:

"Ordered Jiang Wei and Zhang Wei to lead an army of 20,000 to join the hussar general.

Tell the two of them that they must assist the hussar general to take Tongguan. ”

Mi Yang's order made Huang Quan a little puzzled.

After considering the words, Huang Quan persuaded him:

"Chang'an is a fortified city in the world, even if because of the general's strategy, the enemy army in Chang'an can have internal strife.

However, this infighting may not be able to help our army capture Chang'an City in one fell swoop.

The minister thought that for the sake of peace, why didn't the general wait for our army to take Chang'an and then divide his troops to attack Tongguan? ”

In Huang Quan's view, the current battle situation is obviously that the Han army has the advantage.

However, it is also an indisputable fact that Chang'an City is strong and well-crowned in the world.

Maybe the number of enemy troops in Chang'an City is not large, but the people in Chang'an City are hundreds of thousands.

It is inevitable that Cao Zhang will not mobilize the people in the city to defend the city in the future.

Considering this situation, it is not enough for nearly 100,000 Han troops to attack Chang'an City, not to mention that they must continue to divide their troops to weaken their own forces.

Huang Quan is both exhortatory and incomprehensible.

But in the face of Huang Quan's persuasion, Mi Yang's attitude was very firm.

"Just do it according to Lonely."

After saying this, Mi Yang said again:

"Let Wei Yan lead the army to get ready.

Civil strife in Chang'an may occur today if it is fast, and it may happen in two days if it is slow.

The enemy is in civil strife, how can our army not take advantage of the situation to grab some fruits? ”

After instructing this, Mi Yang left Huang Quan's body with his hands in his hands.

After Mi Yang left, Huang Quan couldn't help but sigh.

Huang Quan's sigh was noticed by Huang Chong, who was still a teenager beside him.

Huang Chong is Huang Quan's eldest son, and when Huang Quan accompanied Liu Bei from Chengdu at the beginning of this year, in order to cultivate his eldest son, he specially took Huang Chong with him.

It is very common to take a loved one with you and train them personally.

Therefore, when Mi Yang saw Huang Chong behind Huang Quan, he did not order Huang Chong to retreat.

On the contrary, he has a good impression of Huang Quan's son.

Seeing Huang Quan sighing, Huang Chong couldn't help but ask with concern:

"Father is distressed because the general does not listen to advice?"

Huang Chongyin is still young, and there are some immaturity unique to young people in his tone.

And Huang Quan didn't expect that Huang Chong, who has always followed the rules, would suddenly speak at this time.

Huang Quan looked at Huang Chong unexpectedly and asked, "Do you think there is anything wrong with the order of the Great General Fang Cai?" ”

Faced with his father's inquiry, Huang Chong shook his head decisively.

He is still young and has not been involved much, so how dare he comment on Mi Yang's orders.

But after shaking his head, Huang Chong bowed to Huang Quan and said: "The child doesn't understand the world, I don't know why the general cares so much about Tongguan."

But the child has seen many things in the world, and the child knows that since Jian'an, the general's decision has not been missed. ”

When he said this, Huang Chong's face showed a strong admiration for Mi Yang.

Don't say that Huang Chong, people of his generation have an almost fanatical worship for Mi Yang.

After hearing Huang Chong's words, Huang Quan couldn't help laughing.

He wasn't laughing at Huang Chong, he was laughing at himself.

laughs at himself sometimes not a young man can see it.

"Sometimes my father really feels that it is the general who is pushing the Han Dynasty to the current height with his own strength."

"You're not too young, so let's go out with Captain Jiang this time."

After saying this, Huang Quan shook his head and left with Huang Chong.

After taking Tongguan, is the next step Luoyang?

Our great general has a really big heart!

Due to the consternation in their hearts, the two envoys returned to Chang'an City as quickly as possible.

After returning to Chang'an City, the two envoys came to Cao Zhang almost all the way.

At the first glance of Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang's henchman exclaimed anxiously:

"Your Highness, Zhang He is really Mi Yang's spy!"

As soon as he heard this, Cao Zhang immediately got up from his seat in shock.

He took three steps and made two steps to the henchman's side, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and asked eagerly:

"How can you say that!"

Cao Zhang's eagerness made his henchmen even think about it, and he hurriedly told the shocking news he had discovered.

Zhang He reported to Mi Yang, and Mi Yang had already learned that General Huwei was leading the army to help!

He sent Ma Chao to stop the Tiger Guard General! ”

When he heard the news, Cao Zhang almost fainted without two eyes.

Why did he accept Zhang He's deception plan, in order to delay time and wait for Xu Chu to lead the army?

It can be said that Xu Chu's reinforcements are a life-saving straw in Chang'an.

But now!

This life-saving straw was told by Zhang He, and it was about to be broken by Mi Yang.

Although there is no information about Xu Chu's defeat at the moment, Mi Yang has always been ruthless and the best at setting up ambushes.

In Cao Zhang's view, Xu Chu's reinforcements were already more than lucky.

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Zhang's heart felt like everything was burning.

The emotional flames of pain and anger are constantly engulfing Cao Zhang's reason.

No wonder, no wonder!

After learning this shocking truth, or shocking bad news, some things gradually became a line in Cao Zhang's mind.

No wonder during the Battle of Jieting, Mi Yang was able to send Jiang Wei to go around Luoyang County so smoothly.

No wonder after the change of Lüyang, it would be Zhang He who caught the deserter first.

It's no wonder that Zhang He suddenly proposed a fraud plan, it was not Mi Yang who he wanted to deceive, but himself!

Once he is really gullible, then he will definitely find a way to send someone to send a message to Xu Chu, so that he can seize this rare time to enter as soon as possible.

In this way, won't the Han army be able to wait for work?

In fact, the above three are no wonder that they originally existed in Cao Zhang's heart in the form of doubts.

In general, these three doubts do not translate into hatred without a major trigger.

But once that trigger arises, then the three doubts that existed in the first place will become ironclad evidence that the trigger is true.

The human heart is treacherous, exactly.

Cao Zhang, who feels that he has "figured out" everything, how can he not hate in his heart, and how can he not be annoyed!

Cao Zhang's anger directly pulled out the long sword at his waist, wanting to immediately go to Zhang He's body and cut off his head in person.

But his movements were stopped by Xiahou Nan on the side.

After learning that Zhang He was indeed a spy, Xiahou Nan's mood was no different from Cao Zhang's.

Compared with Cao Zhang, his personality is more calm.

"Zhang He has been in Guanzhong for many years, and there are many of his henchmen in Chang'an City.

Even if Ziwen wanted to kill him to vent his anger, he had to plan carefully.

If you act rashly, once Zhang He's counterattack is caused, Chang'an City will inevitably fall into civil strife! ”

Xiahou Nan's calm words poured a basin of cold water on the irritable Cao Zhang.

yes, how did he forget that.

Cao Zhang, who calmed down a little, looked at Xiahou Nan and asked, "What good plan do you have?" ”

Under Cao Zhang's inquiry, Xiahou Nan expressed his opinion:

"It's better to summon Zhang He in the name of setting up a banquet tonight, and then we will ambush the knife and axe man at the banquet and kill him.

As soon as Zhang He died, those who were attached to him by the party would naturally not be troubled. ”

After listening to Xiahou Nan's strategy, Cao Zhang nodded slowly: "Okay, then do as you say." ”

After saying this, Cao Zhang, on the one hand, asked people to arrange a knife and axe hand, and on the other hand, he sent someone as a messenger to Zhang He's mansion to invite him.

In order to prevent Zhang He from seeing the clues, the messenger sent by Cao Zhang did not know Cao Zhang's true purpose.

And after the messenger came to Zhang He's mansion as usual, he soon saw Zhang He.

Although Zhang He was monitored in the palace, as Xiahou Nan said, Zhang He had commanded the army in Guanzhong for many years, and he had a lot of eyes and ears in Chang'an City.

Even among the sergeants who were responsible for monitoring Zhang He, there were some of Zhang He's old subordinates.

After many years of influence, Zhang He didn't spend much effort to learn about the return of the two envoys from outside the city.

After learning about this, Zhang He's heart was full of apprehension.

Although he questioned his loyalty to Da Wei, the sun and the moon can be seen.

It's just that the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon know, it doesn't mean that Cao Zhang knows.

Under the apprehension in his heart, Zhang He saw the messenger sent by Cao Zhang.

But what Zhang He didn't expect was that when he saw the messenger sent by Cao Zhang, he got an invitation to a banquet.

On the surface, Cao Zhang's banquet should have learned the truth of the matter so that he could apologize to him.

But Zhang He is not a fledgling hairy boy.

After Zhang He said goodbye to the messenger sent by Cao Zhang, he immediately sent his henchmen out to inquire about the situation with some doubts in his heart.

And the situation made Zhang He realize the seriousness of the matter!

The men who were watching him outside the palace did not retreat.

Even his large camp was secretly taken over by Cao Zhang's faction.

Perhaps Cao Zhang, as the main general, sent someone to take over Zhang He's camp is a justifiable thing.

If Zhang He didn't feel anything in normal times, could the current situation be compared to usual?

Zhang He, who was accustomed to seeing too many bloody killings, quickly drew a terrifying inference in his heart based on the above two pieces of information.

It is false to set up a banquet to apologize to him, and it is likely to be true that it is not good for him at the banquet!

Zhang He, who realized this, didn't know what to do for a while.

He had made some preparations in advance, but it was still difficult for Zhang He to really take that step.

Because once you take that step, there is no room for manoeuvre in many things.

But just when Zhang He was hesitating, his eldest son Zhang Xiong on his side was already in a hurry.

Zhang Xiong advised Zhang He: "Today's situation is in danger, like a person riding a tiger, an encore is in the middle!" ”

"Either be eaten by the tigers, or fight hard, there is still a way to live!"

Zhang Xiong's words were like a hammer blow, waking Zhang He up from his hesitation.

When he woke up, Zhang He's eyes only had a fierce look.

After making a decision in his heart, Zhang He immediately said to Zhang Xiong:

"It's still a while before dark, and at this time, you take my order to transfer hundreds of personal soldiers from the camp in the east of the city.

Don't be secretive, but be fast! ”

After getting Zhang He's instructions, Zhang Xiong was about to leave after clenching his fists.

But before Zhang Xiong left, Zhang He gave another important order:

"You must also remember to bring the city defense map of Chang'an with you.

This is our gift to the General! ”

If you want to capture such a fortified city as Chang'an, if you can get Chang'an's defense map, it can undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This is a gift that Zhang He wants to give to Mi Yang.

There is also a chapter in the early hours of the morning or morning.

Don't stay up late, just wake up tomorrow and see.
