Chapter 723: Mi Yang's Shackles Avoid the real and attack the false
Although in the council, Cao Xiu swore that as long as he closed the city gates, then they would be invincible.
But it would not be accurate to say that Cao Xiu was really convinced of this.
Cao Xiu is a general who was once valued by Cao Cao, he may not have Cao Cao's wisdom, but he does not lack accurate judgment.
Since becoming Cao Wei's Great Sima, Cao Xiu has had the mentality of knowing himself and his opponent, and has deeply studied Mi Yang's past combat examples.
He found from those battle examples that Mi Yang was a very good person who was very good at being surprising—this was quite similar to the Fa Zheng back then.
What is surprising?
It's to punch you in an unexpected place.
After knowing Mi Yang's military style, although Cao Xiu couldn't guess what Mi Yang's next move would be, he always had a doubt in his heart.
He didn't believe that Mi Yang, who had always been good at sports warfare, would stay quietly in Xinye, and finally sit back and watch the fall of Yong'an.
Of course, such an idea, to put it bluntly, is more like a vague intuition.
This vague intuition will make Cao Xiu's heart faintly uneasy, but it also makes Cao Xiu's heart feel a little dazed as if it was shrouded in fog.
Does Mi Yang really attach so much importance to Yong'an?
Could Yongan just be a mist bomb released by Mi Yang, and his target is actually himself?
The fiasco in recent years has made all the Wei generals led by Cao Xiu have been beaten out of the victim paranoia by Mi Yang.
Just when Cao Xiu was worried about the doubts in his heart, the Wu envoy who had just arrived sent the latest news to Cao Xiu.
After hearing the report of the Wu envoy, Cao Xiu couldn't help but get up happily and asked:
"Is Shibud really in Yong'an City?"
Cao Xiu's joy was beyond words.
And there was a bit of disbelief in his happy tone.
Wu Envoy didn't know why Cao Xiu showed such mixed emotions after learning the news.
It's just that this war was the first time that Cao Wei and Eastern Wu united against the enemy.
Since it is the first time, the exchange of information is the most important thing.
Faced with Cao Xiu's complicated performance, Wu Envoy replied affirmatively:
"Don't worry, Da Sima, this news is true."
The four words "true" in Wu Envoy's mouth made Cao Xiu unable to control the joy in his heart anymore.
He first asked the envoy Wu to be taken down for hospitality, and after the envoy left for Wu to leave, Cao Xiu laughed in front of Wang Ji and Wang Jun.
Seeing Cao Xiu suddenly laughing, Wang Jun asked puzzledly:
"Shi Bao is in Yong'an, and Mi Yang is not in Yong'an, why is Da Sima so happy?"
After hearing Wang Jun's inquiry, Cao Xiu slowly stopped laughing, and then he looked at Wang Jun and asked:
"Do you know who Shibud is?"
Stonebud?
Wang Jun really didn't know much about him.
Seeing the puzzled look on Wang Jun's face, Cao Xiu told Wang Jun about Shi Bao's past deeds.
And after learning about Shi Bao's deeds, the responsive Wang Jun immediately grasped the key point.
"What does Da Sima mean?"
"Not bad."
Before Wang Jun finished speaking, Cao Xiu couldn't wait to say:
"Since the thief sent Shibao to Yong'an, it shows how determined his heart is to seize Yong'an.
And because Shi Bao is in Yong'an, no matter what the future battle situation is, Mi Yang will always lead the army to support Yong'an.
Otherwise, he will be dishonest in front of the world, and he can't afford to bear the consequences!"
After saying the above words, the smile on Cao Xiu's face was even worse:
"The lonely party is smiling at Mi Yang.
He sent Shi Bao to Yong'an, which was indeed a clever move, which could strengthen Han Zong's determination to defend the city to the death.
But there are pros and cons to everything.
In doing so, he is undoubtedly putting a shackle on himself.
Over time, this shackle will put on him
The more he came out of breath, he had to lead his army out of Yiyang County!"
When Cao Xiu finished speaking with a smile, Wang Jun's face showed joy.
He hurriedly said to Cao Xiujin, "If this is the case, then our army may not be able to take Yiyang in the future."
Wang Jun's words said the hidden thoughts in Cao Xiu's heart.
He glanced at Wang Jun with satisfaction.
But Cao Xiu was not too complacent, he said:
"It's too early to reclaim Yiyang.
It's just that with this information sent by Lu Xun, the doubts in my lonely heart don't exist."
Cao Xiu thought before that Yong'an was just a trick to cover up.
But now it seems that Mi Yang's faith is in Yong'an, how can he spend too much time on himself?
Even if he had it at first, as time went by, that kind of thought would quickly disappear.
Cao Xiu, who figured this out, was in a good mood, and he said to Wang Jun and Wang Ji: "Go and order someone to set up a banquet, and you want to have a good drink with the generals today."
When he heard Cao Xiu's words, a look of anticipation appeared on Wang Jun's face, because of the fear of war in recent days, Cao Xiu's alcohol ban has lasted for several days.
But Wang Ji didn't.
With a steady personality, he faintly feels that things are not so simple.
Because he knows that Mi Yang is not only good at surprises, but also good at taking advantage of the situation!
But what was wrong, Wang Ji couldn't figure it out for a while.
The fog caused by Mi Yang's silence not only covered Cao Xiu, but also shrouded other Wei generals in it.
So what is the purpose of Mi Yang weaving the fog?
...
At the end of August of the sixth year of Han Zhangwu, Wei Yan and his party finally came to Mi Yang's body.
But this group of people did not arrive at the same time.
Among this group of people, to Mi Yang's surprise, it was Zhang He who arrived first.
Wei Yan, who was overtaken by the corner, was so angry that he wanted to kill Zhang He with his eyes when he entered Xinye behind Zhang He.
Is it necessary to roll like this for a general?
But his riding skills are not as good as others, and in the end he can only silently accept this fact.
After everyone came to Xinye City, Mi Yang summoned them as soon as possible.
Thinking that Wei Yan, who couldn't slow down every step, when he first saw Mi Yang, he relied on his high status and took the lead in asking Mi Yang:
"Da Sima needs a minister to lead his troops to support Yong'an?
If the general is called, the minister will not fail in his mission."
Good guy, as soon as Wei Yan opened his mouth, he wanted to snatch the greatest credit.
As we all know, Mi Yang wants to resist the Wei army in Xinye, so the generals who lead the troops to support Yong'an will have a great wartime self-esteem.
In other words, as long as Wei Yan can successfully break through the encirclement and rush into Yong'an, then his credit will be unique.
His fame will even resound throughout the land of Jiangnan.
Don't look at Wei Yan's rough appearance, but his heart is fine.
But what Wei Yan can think of, others can't think of?
As soon as Wei Yan's voice fell, Ding Feng, Zhang Wei, and Zhou Tai all asked for their lives, wanting to compete with Wei Yan.
In fact, the relationship between several people is usually good, but when they grab the merits of war, they can't let their brothers let them, let alone the same people with different surnames.
Seeing the appearance of several love generals enthusiastically asking for battle, Mi Yang was very happy.
But here's the thing.
"Who said that Lone was going to send troops to support Yong'an?"
As soon as Mi Yang's words came out, everyone present was stunned.
"Da Sima, this ......"
Wei Yan was the first to make a puzzled sound.
There's something wrong with that.
It is normal for you to have doubts.
After all, what Cao Xiu could think of, they could also think of.
Shibao is in Yong'an, how can he not immediately send troops to rescue?
cause
What Wei Yan and the others were puzzled about was that they were all anxious about Mi Yang's faithfulness, but Mi Yang, the client, didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
What they don't know is that Liu Bei had taught Mi Yang a truth many times during his lifetime: "If there is doubt about the use of people, everything will be wasted."
Mi Yang sent Shi Bao to Yong'an, a very important reason is that he believes that with Shi Bao's ability, Yong'an's safety can be guaranteed in a short time.
If he has doubts about this, Mi Yang would rather not accept Han Zong's surrender.
And once trusted, it should not be shaken.
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the generals, Mi Yang said lightly: "Don't let Yong'an become a shackle for our army because of Zhongrong."
After saying this, Mi Yang asked Wei Yan and the others to go down and rest first.
But Mi Yang was the only one who left.
Mi Yang's move surprised Wei Yan and the others, including Zhang He himself.
Zhang He asked himself that although he was the first to arrive in Xinye, he had been silent since he saw Mi Yang, trying not to arouse Mi Yang's suspicion.
Could it be that he did something wrong, or did Mi Yang doubt?
Zhang He, who had lived in Cao Wei's treacherous political environment for decades, suddenly had a nervous thought in his heart.
Seeing that Zhang He was a little uneasy, Mi Yang smiled and said to Zhang He: "Don't worry, I left you alone, because I want to reuse you."
Mi Yang's gentle attitude caused Zhang He's inner uneasiness to dissipate a lot.
But he remained vigilant.
harm, Zhang He has always been afraid of Mi Yang, like afraid of Cao Cao.
Mi Yang also knew his words, and he couldn't dispel the self-doubt in Zhang He's heart, so he decided to explain it with actions.
Mi Yang gestured to Ding Feng on the side and sent the piece of information he had just received to Zhang He.
Zhang He took the information respectfully for the first time and looked at it carefully.
Zhang He thought that Mi Yang would send him some important information, but he didn't expect that after reading it, it was written in the information that Cao Xiu would set up a banquet after the arrival of the Wu envoy.
Zhang Yiyi couldn't understand Mi Yang's intentions for a while, so he immediately raised his head and looked at Mi Yang with a puzzled gaze.
"Cao Xiu held a banquet to celebrate because Zhongrong was in Yong'an, and he knew the inner reason."
The inner reason, with Zhang He's wisdom, can naturally be figured out.
He asked himself if he were in Cao Xiu's position now, and he might have made the same decision.
To appease people's hearts.
Since Cao Xiu's actions are human nature, where is Mi Yang's intention?
"Lonely in Cao Wei, there is still some prestige.
Because of Lone's prestige, even if Lone does not move, Cao Xiu will not be rashly relaxed.
He might even think that Lone's real target was him, after all, Lone was in Shinno right now.
But such a thought would disappear from Cao Xiu's heart after he learned that Zhongrong was in Yong'an.
For the faith of the lonely is in eternal peace!
This sentence has been heard many times recently, and many people advise Gu to put faith first.
Even the people who follow the lonely side have been persuading the lonely to be lonely, and those who are hundreds or thousands of miles away from the lonely will not ignore this point.
Lu Xun, Cao Xiu, and even Han Zong, they all think that Zhong Rong is an important bargaining chip for them to balance Gu.
To be honest, they didn't think it was right, and it was impossible for them to abandon their faith.
But is Lone's faithfulness necessarily a counterbalance to one's own weakness?
They forget that what Lone is best at is not surprise, but taking advantage of the situation.
Just when they thought they could take advantage of Lone, they forgot that the chips they thought could also be the best way for Lone to confuse them!"
In front of Zhang He, Mi Yang slowly said all the thoughts in his heart recently.
And every time Mi Yang said a word, Zhang He became more and more frightened.
When Mi Yang's words just fell, Zhang He looked at Mi Yang's gaze, and he was still there
It's like looking at a devil.
Zhang He is also a famous general known for his ingenuity, with his wisdom, Mi Yang has spoken to this step, how can he not know Mi Yang's intentions.
Zhang He's hand couldn't help but clench the information in his hand.
Mi Yang wanted to tell him through this information that the Wei army was now in a state of carelessness.
If the enemy is careless, what should we do?
"Da Sima!"
This is the first time Zhang He has shouted this title from the bottom of his heart.
In the past, Zhang He was in the Wei army, as Mi Yang's opponent, and he often got the result of Mi Yang's victory.
This is the first time he has personally experienced Miyang's whimsical ideas under the guidance of Mi Yang.
After experiencing it personally, Zhang He was only shocked.
Ignoring Zhang He's shock, Mi Yang continued:
"Cao Xiu attaches great importance to Lonely, and his attention allows him to bring the elite of Yuzhou to Wancheng.
Cao Xiu thought that with tens of thousands of elites and Wancheng's strong city defense, there would be no way to take him alone.
Cao Xiu was right about this.
It's a pity that what he doesn't know is that Lone doesn't like to fight siege warfare in the first place, and Lone likes to fight sports warfare.
Junyi, now Yuzhou's troops are empty, and he is determined to make you a general, and lead the army to attack Bowang.
I don't know what to do?"
Bowang?
Zhang He had been stationed in Nanyang County for several years, and he was very clear about the terrain of Nanyang County.
Bowang is the only way from Wancheng to Yuzhou, and it is also the main road for the Wei army to transport grain and grass.
If he can lead the army to take Bowang, once the news reaches Wancheng, will Cao Xiu sit still?
Even if Cao Xiu sits, Cao Ei can't sit still.
Cao Rong can't sit back and watch Bowang's safety, but don't forget, after Bowang is Xuchang.
Xuchang was Cao Wei's political and military center in the Central Plains.
Avoid the real and attack the weak, attack the enemy and save it, and then attract the enemy army from the strong Wancheng.
Let the arduous siege war instantly become the field battle that the Han army is good at.
If the follow-up can be planned properly, these tens of thousands of Wei troops may not be able to escape.
At that time, Mo said that a Wancheng was Xuchang, which represented the shame of the Han Dynasty, and it was not impossible for the Han army to take it.
Zhang He slowly sorted out all of Mi Yang's thoughts, and at this moment he was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.
Almost instantly, Zhang He thought that Cao Cao was resurrected in front of him.
And for Mi Yang's trust, how could Zhang He refuse!
Zhang He hurriedly got up and saluted Mi Yang and said:
"If the Great Sima believes in the ministers, the ministers will do their best to become the plan of the Great Sima!"
Zhang He's response made Mi Yang extremely satisfied.
For Zhang He's ability, Mi Yang is trusting.
