Chapter 626: Ambush the Wei Army, the sun and the moon reopen
Why isn't Zhuge Liang in the camp?
It turned out that not long ago, Zhuge Liang finally decided to attack Hao Zhao.
Previously, in order to lure Hao Zhao out of Chencang City, Zhuge Liang deliberately asked Yang Yi to spread the news that Cao Zhen was besieged in Wuzhangyuan by Mi Yang's army.
In order to successfully lure Hao Zhao, Zhuge Liang also asked Yang Yi to order someone to transcribe multiple copies of this fake news and tie them to the arrow, and then ordered the strong men in the army to shoot into Chen Cang City.
Under Zhuge Liang's measures, it didn't take long for the Wei generals in the entire Chencang City to almost know that Cao Zhen was "in a dead end".
And when this news spread in Chen Cangcheng, it immediately dealt a severe blow to Chen Cangcheng's military morale.
Although since the defeat of Liangzhou, Cao Zhen's prestige in Guanzhong has long been less powerful than before.
But Cao Zhen is still Cao Wei's governor in Guanzhong at the moment, and his safety is impossible for any Wei general to sit idly by.
Once something happens to him, it basically means that all Wei troops in Guanzhong will fall into a situation where the dragons are leaderless.
Such a situation is something that no Wei general wants to see.
For Hao Zhao, the same is naturally true.
Especially Cao Zhen still has the grace of knowing Hao Zhao, and from the perspective of personal feelings, Hao Zhao is even more unlikely to sit back and watch Cao Zhen fall into danger and ignore it.
It's just that Hao Zhao still has doubts about whether to send troops.
Hao Zhao is a general who knows the army in the end, and with his strategy, of course he will doubt whether this will be Zhuge Liang's plan to lure the enemy.
After all, due to the failure of several previous breakthroughs, Hao Zhao's contact with the outside world was basically cut off.
In other words, Cao Zhen was besieged by the Han army in Wuzhangyuan, and at the moment it was just news unilaterally spread by the Han army.
We have not received substantial information to support this.
In this case, it is normal for Hao Zhao to be suspicious.
But just when Hao Zhao was hesitant, what Jia Si, as a deputy general, said made Hao Zhao dispel his last concerns.
"In the current situation, it doesn't matter whether the news is true or not, what matters is whether our military will take action because of the news.
General, don't forget that there are only a few thousand enemy troops! โ
Although Jia Si's words sounded a little tongue-twisting, Hao Zhao understood the deep meaning of his words.
Cao Zhen was personally appointed by Cao Pi to be the governor of Guanzhong on his behalf, and in terms of status, Cao Zhen can be regarded as Cao Pi in Guanzhong.
In other words, the act of rescuing Cao Zhen can essentially be equated with the action of "King Qin".
And once the rescue operation is raised to this level, can Hao Zhao not save it?
Even if this news is fake, Hao Zhao was lured out of Chencang City by the Han army because of this, and no one will say that Hao Zhao did something wrong afterwards.
But if this news is true, but Hao Zhao always stands still and sits back and watches Cao Zhen being killed by the Han army, then even if Hao Zhao finally defends Chencang City, it will be a capital crime.
And there is another very important reason why Hao Zhao had to be saved, that is, the Han army outside Chencang City mentioned by Jia Si is only a few thousand, but Hao Zhao has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands.
If it was the main force of the Han army besieging Chencang City, Hao Zhaogao could still find an excuse afterwards, saying that the Han army was too powerful for him to break through.
But judging from the comparison of real forces inside and outside Chencang City, the Wei army was obviously the superior side.
So if Hao Zhao doesn't take the breakthrough action for a long time, he will definitely be suspected afterwards.
Of course, after Hao Zhao learned that the main forces of the Han army had left, he did take the action of leading the army to attack the rear of the main force of the Han army.
But there is no doubt that every time he was beaten back to the city by Zhuge Liang's army, he lost a lot of soldiers and horses.
This is something that all the Wei generals in Chen Cang know, but will anyone believe such a thing?
Break through with more than twice the force, and the turtles that can still be beaten retreat back into the city.
If Mi Yang commanded the army, it would still be possible to understand, but now it is Zhuge Liang, who is "good at internal affairs", who is in charge of the army!
Although Zhuge Liang had won a great victory in quelling the rebellion in Nanzhong before, due to the problem of distance, many people in the world did not know many of the inside stories of that great victory.
Therefore, most of the world's impression of Zhuge Liang is still in the state: "You are good at internal affairs, and you are a little good at quelling chaos".
Under this impression, who would believe the fact that Chen Cang's Wei army had been ravaged by Zhuge Liang for some time?
Compared with this "unrealistic" possibility, I am afraid that the world believes that Hao Zhao is supporting the army and respecting himself, just waiting to see success or failure.
What Jia Si wants to remind Hao Zhao is precisely this.
Under Jia Si's reminder, Hao Zhao finally decided to lead the army out of the city to Wuzhangyuan to rescue Cao Zhen despite the doubts in his heart.
And since he finally planned to rescue Cao Zhen, Hao Zhao's marching speed would naturally not be delayed.
But this just fell into Zhuge Liang's ambush plan.
In a valley between Chencang City and Wuzhangyuan, tens of thousands of Wei troops were ambushed by thousands of Han troops after entering it.
Thousands of Han troops, who had been waiting for work, first pushed down boulders on the high mountains on both sides to block the entrance and exit of the valley, and successfully blocked tens of thousands of Wei troops in the valley.
Then the condescending Han army began to use arrows to catch off guard, and the Wei army, which was scattered in formation, caused a large number of casualties.
After completing these two steps, Zhuge Liang, who felt that the time was ripe, sent an envoy down to the valley to try to persuade Hao Zhao to surrender.
Nearly 10,000 Wei troops were trapped in a narrow valley, essentially a turtle in an urn.
It would be quite easy for Zhuge Liang to annihilate them all hereโjust release the fire arrows.
But Zhuge Liang felt that the situation had developed to this point, and there was no need to wipe out the nearly 10,000 Wei troops.
It is best to be able to persuade nature to surrender.
Moreover, if Hao Zhao can be persuaded to surrender, then it will also be conducive to the Han army in Japan to take Chencang - Hao Zhao still has some Wei troops left to defend the city.
In order to succeed in persuading him to surrender at one time, Zhuge Liang specially sent Hao Zhao's fellow villager Jin Shen.
It's just that before Jin Zhao said a word of persuasion after seeing Hao Zhao, Hao Zhao, who knew Jin Shen's intention, said to Jin Shen in a stiff tone:
"The Wei family's science and law, Qing's practice; I am a human being, and I know it. I have received a lot of kindness from the country and I have a heavy door, and I have nothing to say, but I will die.
Qing also thanked Zhuge and killed him. โ
When Jin Shen returned to the mountain and told Hao Zhao's words truthfully, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but glance at Hao Zhaogao.
It was the Han general beside Zhuge Liang who couldn't help but sneer after hearing Hao Zhao's words.
It's all dying, why are you still stubborn?
Seeing that the persuasion to surrender was ineffective, the Han generals suggested that Zhuge Liang launch a new attack, fulfilling Hao Zhao's wish.
But Zhuge Liang did not allow the invitation of the Han generals to fight.
Zhuge Liang, a hard-mouthed person, has seen a lot in his life, but Zhuge Liang knows that the Wei army is trapped in the valley and cut off food and grass.
In the absence of food and grass supplies, even if Hao Zhao didn't change his mind within three days, his subordinates might not be able to help but tie him up and ask for surrender.
Zhuge Liang is in good health at the moment, and he does not lack the patience to wait for a few days.
The reason why the messenger came to the Han army camp and did not see Zhuge Liang was because Zhuge Liang was cautious by nature.
Even if it was difficult for the nearly 10,000 Wei troops to make any more waves at the moment, Zhuge Liang still chose to wait for the situation to change in person on the valley.
And Yang Yi is the person left by Zhuge Liang to guard the camp for the Han army.
Yang Yi naturally knew where Zhuge Liang was.
After calling the two horses impatiently, Yang Yi took the messenger and drove the horse towards the valley at a gallop.
The entire valley has long been surrounded by the Han Legion, and of course, with Yang Yi's identity, he will not be hindered.
After passing through several sentry posts with the messenger in a row, Yang Yi and the messenger soon came to the bottom of the mountain.
Looking at the narrow mountain road in front of him, the eager Yang Yi pulled the messenger off his horse, and then kept running towards the mountain.
And Zhuge Liang, who has been on the mountain for the past few days, also learned about Yang Yi's arrival from the sentry one step in advance.
Hearing that Yang Yi had left the camp without permission, Zhuge Liang's brows couldn't help frowning.
Could it be that something big has happened?
Zhuge Liang, who had doubts in his heart, hurriedly got up from his seat and walked towards the mountain road.
One side is up, the other is down, and the speed of both sides is not slow, so Zhuge Liang and Yang Yi soon met halfway up the mountain.
After meeting Zhuge Liang, Yang Yi, who was tired and out of breath, directly pulled the messenger behind him to his side, and then pointed to the messenger and said to Zhuge Liang:
"Cheng, Prime Minister.
Chang'an victory! โ
After hearing Yang Yi's words, the look of doubt in Zhuge Liang's eyes was instantly covered by shock.
What do the four words of Chang'an victory mean, how could Zhuge Liang not know?
And just when Zhuge Liang was shocked, the messenger saw that it was Zhuge Liang, and he finally consciously took out the battle report from the letter bag on his waist and handed it to Zhuge Liang.
The messenger took the initiative, and Yang Yi on the side blew his beard and stared.
can blow and blow, stare and stare, Yang Yi still can't help but approach Zhuge Liang.
He is old, why is he fighting so hard.
Isn't it just thinking about seeing the content of the battle report for the first time?
Looking at the battle report in front of him, Zhuge Liang was shocked, but the movements in his hands were not slow at all.
He hurriedly took the battle report from the messenger's hand, and then unfolded it and read it.
As soon as he saw the content of the battle report, Zhuge Liang recognized that the handwriting on the war report belonged to Mi Yang.
There were dozens of riding messengers from Chang'an, but only the one who went to Chencang carried the battle report written by Mi Yang himself.
The content of the battle report is not long, and there is no need to use too flowery rhetoric between master and apprentice.
Mi Yang tried his best to use a short and flat tone to summarize the whole process of his recovery of Chang'an.
First, he planned to take advantage of the plan, and naturally caused the civil strife between Cao Zhang and Zhang He, and then took advantage of the situation to fight for the moat of Chang'an City.
After crossing the moat, Cao Zhang in the city lowered his guard by digging tunnels with great fanfare, so that he only thought about defending the city and protecting himself, creating a good external environment for the Han army to dig tunnels.
While the tunnels were being excavated, other methods were taken to continuously reduce the sturdiness of the already weak western wall of Chang'an.
When the above preparations are completed, it is the most critical but natural step - Liu Bei will burn the pillar and trap the city with his own hands.
Every step is interlocking.
Perhaps because Zhuge Liang and Yang Yi were not at the scene, they could not see the spectacular scene of the collapse of the Chang'an city wall that day.
Perhaps because Mi Yang did not use flowery rhetoric, the content of the entire battle report seemed a little ordinary at first glance.
But as soon as he saw the words "Burning Pillars and Trapping the City", Yang Yi's breathing inevitably became rapid all of a sudden.
Yang Yi asked himself that he had heard of many excellent examples of capturing cities, but he had never heard of Mi Yang's way of breaking cities.
And you must know that it was Chang'an City that was burned by Miyang!
As one of the most majestic cities in the world, Chang'an City used to be like an inoffensive giant sitting quietly on the banks of the Weishui River.
His majesty and weight, his tallness and solidity, have been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Han person for hundreds of years.
But such a formidable giant was easily conquered by him in Mi Yang's bland words.
This strong sense of contrast made Yang Yi's heart feel a sense of shock that she had never felt before.
What does it mean to see thunder in a dull place?
That's it!
Yang Yi, who was in shock, couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, he grabbed the messenger's hand again and asked:
"Tell me, what was the scene like that day?
What are the expressions of the generals? โ
At this moment, Yang Yi couldn't care about anything else, and now he only had a sense of curiosity in his heart that was about to overflow.
The reason why Yang Yi chose to ask the messenger was that he knew that the messenger was likely to be an eyewitness to the scene that day.
It's just that although the messenger is a good witness to the scene of that day, he has no ink in his stomach, how can he describe the scene of that day in words?
Until now, he is still confused.
But looking at Yang Yi's "aggressive" attitude, the messenger was afraid of offending Yang Yi, so he could only rack his brains to think about what to say.
Thinking about it, the messenger suddenly remembered two poems written by a certain great sage when he left Chang'an, which gradually spread in Chang'an City.
"The blazing plains burned the heavens and the earth, and the creatures in the city looked up in shock."
"Seven-foot Qingfeng recruits red armor, a ray of bright light is not young!"
The messenger slowly read these two verses.
After hearing these two poems, Yang Yi showed a satisfied expression on her face.
Satisfied, he kept muttering these two lines of poetry, thinking if he could add some more style to these two lines.
Zhuge Liang looked at Yang Yi's intoxicated state, and then looked at the last few words of the battle report in his hand:
"Teacher, in the end, Yang won by luck!"
It is not difficult to see from this sentence that Mi Yang was happy and proud when he wrote this sentence.
But at the moment, Zhuge Liang not only did not feel regret because he lost the bet, but he could no longer control his emotions, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
Good win! It's good for me to lose!
Zhuge Liang laughed as he turned around and walked towards the mountain.
While Zhuge Liang's laughter continued to sound, the battle report in his hand was also like a proud military flag, shining in the sun.
Can't Yang Yi add a touch of brilliance to those two poems?
Then come him!
When Zhuge Liang came to the top of the mountain again, he opened his hands and shouted to the nearly 10,000 Wei troops below who were like frightened birds:
"The mountains and rivers are dying, and the sun and the moon reopen the Han sky."
"The sun and the moon reopen the Han sky!"
