August of the sixth year of Han Zhangwu.

In Yidu County, at the intersection of Yizhou and Jingzhou, there is a team marching.

The number of people in this team is not large, but the few people led by them are all fierce and fierce, and they have the style of brave generals.

These people were ordered by Mi Yang to rush to Jingzhou from Chang'an Wei Yan, Zhang He, Zhang Wei, Liu Yin and others.

Jingzhou, which has just been washed by rain, has a very clear air.

Smelling the unique moist smell of the south between his nose, Wei Yan stretched comfortably on the horse.

He is a native of Jingzhou.

As the so-called homesickness is human nature, Wei Yan, who is about to return to his hometown, is in a very comfortable mood.

In addition, Wei Yan's personality was already rough, so he glanced at the person next to him and asked:

"Boqi, how's the war going in the Western Regions?"

Walking beside Wei Yan on horseback was Zhang Wei, who had just returned from the Western Regions.

Hearing Wei Yan's inquiry, Zhang Wei replied with a smile:

"General Zilong has a good army, and with the soldiers' lives, more than a dozen countries in the Western Regions have been recovered by our army."

Zhang Wei's answer not only made Wei Yan's eyes light up, but also Zhang He and the others next to him.

The Western Regions has a vast area, and after the changes of time, there are dozens of famous countries so far.

Before really using troops against the Western Regions, although everyone knew that the countries of the Western Regions were not well armed, they were dozens of countries, and it was probably not a thing that could be completed in a short period of time if they wanted to recover them all.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court used troops against the Western Regions in less than three months, and it actually recovered the territory of more than a dozen countries.

The countries of the Western Regions are too weak!

While despising the countries of the Western Regions in their hearts, Wei Yan and other generals also made a judgment in an instant-maybe at the end of the year at the earliest, they would be able to hear the news of Zhao Yun's triumphant return.

Although the significance of the First World War of the Western Expedition is not as good as the great cause of unification, it is also a great joy to expand the territory.

Therefore, after realizing this, Wei Yan and the other generals all showed heartfelt smiles on their faces.

After asking about the progress of the Western Expedition, Wei Yan, who couldn't bear the loneliness, looked at the other side again.

Wei Yan's gaze first touched Zhang He's body.

But after seeing Zhang He, Wei Yan snorted coldly, and then swept his gaze over Zhang He's body and looked at the person behind him.

That man was Yanagi Yin.

Liu Yin, who was still eating melons, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Wei Yan suddenly set his eyes on himself.

Don't look at Liu Yin, who is also on Mi Yang's recruitment list this time, but he was almost equivalent to a little transparent in the Han army before.

There is a huge gap between his position and Wei Yan.

For Liu Yin, Wei Yan was now a mountain he could only look up to.

Takayama stared suddenly, thinking that no one could remain calm.

Just when Liu Yin didn't know why Wei Yan was paying attention to him, Wei Yan's voice reached his ears.

"Do you know that this time Da Sima summoned us to the north or to the east?"

Wei Yan's question instantly attracted the attention of several generals around him, including Zhang He, who had been silent.

In Mi Yang's summons document, Mi Yang only mentioned that there had been a change in Jingzhou and asked them to go to Jingzhou, but did not explain the specific reason.

So they were all very curious about it.

And after Liu Yin heard Wei Yan's inquiry, he was speechless immediately.

People of Wei Yan's status didn't know Da Sima's intentions, how could he know about it?

How could Wei Yan think of asking him this question!

What Liu Yin didn't know was that Wei Yan would ask him for a reason.

The people who were recruited by Mi Yang this time were either good generals with a lot of merits, or they were descendants of generals who were pulled up by Mi Yang, only Liu Yin was special.

Wei Yan had heard that Liu Yin sent the letter very well, but can this be regarded as a credit?

Moreover, Wei Yan also knew that before entering Chang'an, Mi Yang never recognized it

Knowing Liu Yin.

So why did Mi Yang take special care of Liu Yin this time and put him on the list of the eastbound people?

Wei Yan, who had captured Jiang Wei, had a lot of gains in his heart.

There will always be a few fortunate ministers around the big guys, no surprises, no surprises.

And since it is Xingchen, it must be easy to get some hidden secrets that he can't get.

Liu Yin's embarrassed and surprised expression, in Wei Yan's opinion, it was not that he didn't know, but that he didn't want to say it.

This made Wei Yan look away from Liu Yin's body in dissatisfaction.

This surnamed Liu is not honest.

Seeing that he couldn't ask the reason in advance, Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh.

He's bored!

The boredom slowed down Wei Yan's speed a lot.

Zhang Wei was afraid that Mi Yang was in a hurry, so he said to Wei Yan on the side:

"There is a change in Jingzhou, Da Sima is afraid that we urgently need to wait, and the general must not delay."

Zhang Wei's persuasion made Wei Yan sigh lightly again.

"With Da Sima here, even if Jingzhou changes, where can it change?

It can't be that as soon as Da Sima arrives in Jingzhou, then Cao Wei and Sun Wu thieves join forces to attack Jingzhou?"

Wei Yan said a joke.

And this joke made Zhang Wei feel very reasonable.

So Zhang Wei dispelled the idea of continuing to persuade Wei Yan, anyway, it was not far from Xiangyang at the moment.

After marching another distance in such a boring way, Wei Yan found that there were several messengers in front of him, approaching his own team at a very fast speed.

After the messengers got closer, Wei Yan saw their outfits clearly, and he hurriedly patted his horse to meet them.

And as Wei Yan stepped forward, several Han generals behind him also followed Wei Yan after looking at each other.

These messengers were sent by Mi Yang to urge Wei Yan and the others.

After the two sides checked each other's identities, the messenger immediately took out the documents written by Mi Yang from his arms.

Wei Yan was impatient to take the document and read it.

After Wei Yan finished reading the contents of the document, Zhang Wei and the others rushed behind him.

Before Zhang Wei's horse could stop steadily, he saw Wei Yan hurriedly hand over the paperwork in his hand, and then picked up the horsewhip and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely.

Wei Yan's war horse was in pain, and suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the direction of Xiangyang at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at the back of Wei Yan, who was quickly moving away, Zhang Wei's mind was full of questions.

Is this still the same general who was not arrogant or impatient?

But Zhang Wei didn't pay much attention to this.

Da Sima taught that when encountering major events, you need to have calm.

He wanted to see what kind of content in the document would make a dignified general of a big man lose his temper so much.

It's okay not to read it, but after reading the content of the document unhurriedly, Zhang Wei couldn't help but blurt out:

"Jingzhou has really changed!"

Who would have thought that one day a joke would become true!

The content of the document is about the current situation in Jingzhou.

When Zhang Wei was shocked, he subconsciously looked up and looked ahead.

At this time, Wei Yan's figure was almost disappearing from his sight.

Now Zhang Wei finally understood why Wei Yan was so anxious.

At present, Jingzhou is the time to employ people, and the sooner they appear in front of Da Sima, the greater the chance of being reused.

Reuse means that the battle is feathered!

Realizing this, Zhang Wei felt the blood in his body surging instantly.

But compared to Wei Yan, Zhang Wei still needs some face.

Zhang Wei quickly told Zhang He and the others the contents of the document, and then he galloped out on a horse like Wei Yan.

A moment later, all that was left in front of Zhang He and the others was a piece of dust kicked up by the horse's hooves.

This......

return

Thinking about what Zhang Wei had just said, he looked at the gradually blurred backs of Wei Yan and Zhang Wei.

Now, do you still need to think about what to do?

Almost at the same time, the mournful roars of several war horses sounded, and then several sturdy figures rushed out like the wind.

Zhang Wei, who was not far away, heard the movement behind him, but he was not worried at all.

This kind of thing, one step at a time, one step at a time.

Even though Wei Yan was in front of him, only Wei Yan would run in front of him.

Just as Zhang Wei was thinking this, he saw a figure overtaking him at a very fast speed, and was led by a war horse and galloped forward.

Zhang He?

Although Zhang He and Zhang Wei's war horses are all excellent war horses, if you want to give full play to the speed of the war horse, many times you look at the riding skills of the people on horseback.

In terms of riding, Zhang He is a first-class existence today.

Zhang Wei understands this truth, but what he doesn't understand is:

You are a general, why are you working so hard?

Do you know what it means to avoid suspicion!

...

Yiyang County, outside Shinye Castle.

Mi Yang took Deng Ai and was patrolling the terrain of the new field.

After walking up a high slope, Mi Yang asked Deng Aidao behind him:

"Where is Wei Jun?"

Mi Yang had just arrived in Xinye with his army today, and he didn't know the movements of the Wei army.

After hearing Mi Yang's inquiry, Deng Ai immediately replied:

"According to the scout's report, tens of thousands of Wei troops just entered Wancheng a few days ago.

The person leading the troops is Cao Xiu."

Deng Ai's words made Mi Yang laugh.

"Cao Xiu's movements are really fast.

His determination is extraordinary."

Mi Yang first praised Cao Xiu, and then changed his tone and said:

"It's just that Cao Xiu still lacks some guts."

Mi Yang pointed to the surrounding terrain under the high slope and said to Deng Aiyan:

"Xinye is located on the plains, surrounded by no mountains and no rivers, so it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

Since Cao Xiu arrived first, he didn't want to seize the favorable terrain outside the city and set up camp, but instead hid in Wancheng for several days to delay the fighter.

Cao Xiu also claimed to be Cao Cao's successor in the past.

If Cao Cao were alive, he would never use troops like this."

For Cao Cao's use of soldiers, Mi Yang still respects it.

Some people in the world may think that Cao Cao's death was caused by him, but this does not mean that Mi Yang has defeated him in the use of soldiers.

Objectively speaking, Mi Yang and Cao Cao have never really faced each other.

Mi Yang's words made Deng Ai feel the same way.

Then Deng Ai asked Mi Yang, "When does Da Sima think Cao Xiu will attack?"

Mi Yang did not respond to Deng Ai's doubts immediately.

Instead, he asked Deng Aidao, "Does Shi Zai think that after Cao Xiu learns the news of the arrival of the Lone Army, he will still take the initiative to attack?"

Mi Yang's words couldn't help but make Deng Ai think.

The reason why Cao Xiu sent troops to Yiyang was not that he really wanted to take Jingbei in one fell swoop.

Cao Xiu's main purpose was to use Yiyang to contain the Han army, or Mi Yang.

Since Cao Xiu's purpose is here, he doesn't have much desire to attack, but after learning that Mi Yang has arrived, he will feel that his goal has been achieved.

In addition, he is afraid of Mi Yang, so he will choose the most prudent use of soldiers.

I don't think there is anything that can bring Cao Xiu a greater sense of security than Wancheng.

Under Mi Yang's point, Deng Ai came to an inference.

But at the same time, Deng Ai had new doubts in his heart.

"If Cao Xiu has been cowering in Wancheng and not coming out, what will happen to our army next?"

Deng Ai knew that Yongan was waiting for Mi Yang's rescue.

In other words, Cao Xiu can stay in Wancheng for a year and a half, but Mi Yang can't afford to delay this time.

After hearing Deng Ai's doubts, Mi Yang didn't have much worry.

He already had an idea in his mind.

He smiled and said to Deng Ai, "Lu Xun wants to use Cao Xiu to drag down our army.

But is it true that our army must be dragged down by Cao Xiu, and can't we turn passivity into initiative?"

As soon as Mi Yang's words came out, the intelligent Deng Ai seemed to have gained something, and his face changed slightly.

"What does Da Sima mean?"

Seeing that Deng Ai quickly understood his intentions, Mi Yang turned around and looked at the north from afar:

"Yong'an City is strong, Gu You has just sent Zhong Rong to go, no matter how good Lu Xun is to use his troops, it will be difficult to take Yong'an in a few months.

For a few months, if our army is only in a dilemma in Xinye, wouldn't it be too aggrieved?

Lone once used the battle of Guanzhong to tell the world that the current Han and Cao Wei have attacked and defended Yixing.

But Cao Xiu still didn't understand this truth.

Lone had to teach him again.

Since he doesn't strike, then our army will come!"

After realizing that Mi Yang really planned to take the initiative, Deng Ai felt unreasonable at first, but thought about it.

Has Mi Yang fought a reasonable battle in the past?

In an unexpected place for the enemy, suddenly give the enemy a heavy blow, this is Mi Yang's style of using soldiers!

Thinking of this, Deng Ai couldn't help but get excited.

He is also a general who likes to surprise him.

Deng Ai immediately asked Mi Yang, "Great Sima, where do you want to attack?"

Whence?

Mi Yang's eyes looking at the north flashed a few fine lights.

"I'm here alone, and I can't attack anywhere!"

...

Cao Xiu, who had just settled in Wancheng, was convening the generals to discuss the military situation.

The reason why the meeting will be held today is that just now, Cao Xiu learned the news that Mi Yang led the army to Xinye.

When Cao Xiu announced the news to the public, every general in the column showed a solemn look on their faces.

Although in the past, every general hated Mi Yang.

hateful to hateful, they still have a deep fear of Mi Yang.

After seeing the solemn expressions of the generals, Cao Xiu deliberately laughed and said in order to encourage the army:

"Our army originally came to attract the main force of Miyang, and now Miyang has been tricked, why should our army worry?

Wancheng is strong, and Miyang has tens of thousands of troops, what can he do?"

As a thousand miles of horses trained by Cao Cao back then, Cao Xiu learned Cao Cao's style of laughing.

And Cao Xiu's relief is useful.

Under Cao Xiu's two rhetorical questions, the solemn look on the faces of the generals eased a lot.

Seeing that the generals' morale had been boosted, Cao Xiu immediately said:

"From now on, our army will close the city gate, as long as our army does not leave Wancheng for a day, Mi Yang will not be able to get Yong'an for a day!"
