Mi Han

Chapter 743: Change the Plan to Seek Justice
Looking at the camp that had just been completed, Xu Sheng's face showed a look of satisfaction.

Xu Sheng believed that with the strength of his current camp, he would definitely be invincible.

After the camp was set up, Xu Sheng ordered people to go to the rear to urge Liu Lue - it was not a good idea for the baggage troops to keep moving slowly in the rear.

But on the second day after Xu Sheng sent the envoy, Xu Sheng received a report saying that a large number of defeated soldiers were attacking their own camp.

The report emphasized that the defeated soldiers attacked from behind the camp.

When he learned the news, Xu Sheng's face showed a look of horror.

The one behind him is his baggage train!

As more and more defeated soldiers rushed over, the last glimmer of hope in Xu Sheng's heart disappeared.

Listening to the defeated soldiers crying and complaining, Xu Sheng's head was buzzing.

"Suddenly, a group of elite Han soldiers attacked you from behind?"

rear!

The rear again!

Ever since he led his troops to Yidao County, Xu Sheng has felt quite resistant to these two words.

Because Chen Dao somehow managed to lead his troops to go around behind him without anyone noticing and escape.

And today, for some reason, when Xu Sheng thought the Han army was in front of him, another elite Han army appeared behind him!
Moreover, according to the defeated soldiers who escaped, that elite Han army was led by Chen Dao himself.

it is good!it is good!it is good!
If the Han army that attacked the baggage train in the rear was led by Chen Dao himself, then who were the Han troops that ambushed him in front of the mountain?

He had more than 10,000 elite soldiers. Even if the Han army could set an ambush by taking advantage of the terrain, their forces could not be less than his.

In other words, Chen Dao actually chose to abandon the main force? Or was the Han army setting up an ambush ahead just a decoy force?
And the most important thing is, how did Chen Dao lead his troops to get behind him?
Looking at the map hanging in the tent, which he looked at at least several times a day, Xu Sheng felt like his head was about to explode.

All the speculations and the consequences of the loss of baggage made Xu Sheng feel like his heart was burning on fire.

Just when Xu Sheng thought that was all the bad news, new reports from the defeated soldiers who rushed back made Xu Sheng so angry that he fainted.

"General, our warships were burned by the enemy troops!"

After hearing this, Xu Sheng had only one ridiculous thought in his mind before he fainted:

"The warship is destroyed, and now I am the one being attacked from both sides!"

At the beginning of September in the sixth year of Zhangwu in the Han Dynasty, Mi Yang, who was outside Wancheng, finally learned about the changes in Jingnan.

Mi Yang had expected that the Wu army would launch an attack on Jingnan.

But looking at the report sent by Wei Yan, Mi Yang fell into silence for a long time.

There are many famous generals of the Han Dynasty sitting in the tent today. Many of them did not know Mi Yang's plan in advance, so when they learned that Lu Xun had launched a surprise attack on Jingnan, their first reaction was quite astonishment.

Most of them originally thought that Lu Xun was currently busy dealing with the Yong'an Rebellion and had no time to take care of other things.

It is obvious that many people have misjudged Lu Xun.

But after the initial shock, the Han generals did not panic.

Because in front of them sat the most famous general in the world in the past decades.

Mi Yang's existence caused many Han army generals to be shocked, and then they were met with endless anger.

If I don't cause trouble for Wu Jun, wouldn't Wu Jun be secretly happy? How dare they invade on their own initiative?

Just when the anger in their hearts prompted many Han generals to suggest that Mi Yang teach the Wu army a lesson, the Han generals saw Mi Yang's expression and forced themselves to calm down.

They felt the sadness from the silent Mi Yang.

They also knew why Mi Yang was sad.

After a long silence, Mi Yang wanted to put down the report in his hand, but somehow, the report in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and Mi Yang couldn't put it down no matter what.

The words were light, but Wang Hong's affection for him was heavy.

Mi Yang couldn't help but recall what Wang Hong said to him when he asked him to go to Zhouling that day:

"Take care, Sima!"

At that time, Mi Yang just thought that these five words were too ordinary, but today after learning about Wang Hong's fate, he felt as if a huge stone was blocking his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Why is this so?"

As the uncomfortable feeling in his heart grew stronger, Mi Yang slowly uttered these four words to the generals.

These four words made the atmosphere in the tent even more tense.

The Han general who was unaware of Mi Yang's plan only thought that Mi Yang was lamenting that Wang Hong had such a tragic end because of his too upright character.

However, those Han generals who knew Mi Yang's plan in advance read Mi Yang's sadness from these four words.

They knew that Mi Yang had already arranged a way out for Wang Hong.

But Wang Hong did not choose the path of life, but chose a path of death. Isn't it obvious who he did it for?
When the sadness in his heart reached its peak, Mi Yang could no longer control himself.

The angry Mi Yang slammed the report in his hand on the desk and said with gnashing teeth:

"I will destroy the Zhu Huan clan!"

Mi Yang's declaration was like a fuse, completely igniting the atmosphere in the tent.

Ding Feng was the first to stand up angrily and asked Mi Yang:
"I am willing to lead a group of elite soldiers to rush to the aid of Gong'an!"

Ding Fengyi stood up to ask for orders, and more than a dozen Han generals, filled with righteous indignation, stood up behind him.

The content of the request from these dozen Han generals was exactly the same as Ding Feng's.

The Han generals in the tent all knew that the most important thing for them at the moment was to lead their troops back to provide support.

But they are now outside Wancheng, where there are tens of thousands of elite Wei soldiers. They cannot withdraw all their troops to the south at once.

Therefore, the safest way for them at the moment is to have a general lead some elite troops to support the public security.

The remaining troops, led by Mi Yang, retreated slowly to prevent the Wei army from pursuing them.

But this is a safe solution, but Mi Yang is not going to agree to it.

"Do not!

I will personally lead the troops back to provide assistance."

Mi Yang's words undoubtedly shocked the generals in the tent.

Even Zhang He, Deng Ai and others who knew Mi Yang's plan in advance were the same.

"Da Sima, absolutely not!"

Seeing that Mi Yang was going to overturn the original plan, Deng Ai hurriedly stood up and persuaded him.

As soon as Deng Ai finished speaking, the other generals in the tent also added their words.

Now all the Han generals thought that Mi Yang was stimulated by Wang Hong’s death and made this irrational decision.

However, facing the advice of his favorite generals, Mi Yang's attitude was quite firm.

"I have made up my mind."

Mi Yang's words carried an irresistible tone.

This made the Han generals who stood up to advise dare not say anything.

Although Mi Yang ignored the advice of the generals, he was not blinded by the anger in his heart as the generals expected.

Mi Yang turned his gaze towards Deng Ai and said to him:
"We have more than 60,000 elite soldiers outside Wancheng. I will only take 30,000 with me, and you will be in charge of the remaining 30,000."

As soon as Mi Yang said this, all the generals turned their eyes to Deng Ai.

Mi Yang's words showed his complete trust in Deng Ai.

Looking at Mi Yang's trusting eyes, Deng Ai became nervous and started stuttering again.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid."

In terms of seniority, Deng Ai is not the most senior among today's generals.

In terms of military achievements, Deng Ai can only boast of some small battles.

Once Mi Yang left, Deng Ai might face an attack from an enemy force that was twice his own size.

In addition, Deng Ai’s mission was not to hold on, but to retreat.

You must know that no matter how elite the soldiers are, if they are hit hard by the enemy while retreating, they may be defeated.

Precisely because of things like this, if not done properly the consequences would be very serious, so at the beginning the generals wanted Mi Yang to do it personally.

However, Mi Yang made the decisive decision and handed such a difficult task over to Deng Ai.

How not to surprise people?
Mi Yang didn't care whether Deng Ai was nervous or not.

Deng Ai has extraordinary talents and has been training in the army over the past few years. Although we cannot say that Deng Ai's current abilities have reached the level when he destroyed the Han Dynasty in history, they are not too far behind.

He has spent all his energy in training Deng Ai over the past few years, isn't it just so that one day Deng Ai can share important tasks with him?
"You don't have to refuse. I believe you!"

In front of all the generals, Mi Yang said this.

These words slowly calmed Deng Ai down.

The reason why he wanted to refuse just now was because Mi Yang's arrangement was too sudden. It didn't mean that he didn't have confidence in his heart.

Anyone who has talent must be proud in his heart!
Thinking that Mi Yang actually trusted him so much, and thinking about the current unfavorable situation in Jingzhou.

As a subject, how can I not do my best?

Deng Ai calmed down and a determined look appeared on his face.

Under the gaze of the generals, Deng Ai bowed solemnly to Mi Yang:
"My lord, take your orders!"

Wei Yan, who was in Jiangling, received a secret letter from Chen Dao a few days later.

In the secret letter, Chen Dao said to Wei Yan: "The enemy's warships have been damaged, their morale has been crushed, and I have failed to live up to your trust."

After reading this sentence, Wei Yan was a little confused.

Chen Dao was a humble person, and in his secret letter he did not go into detail about his glorious deeds in the past few days.

Before, Wei Yan only thought that Chen Dao could lure Xu Sheng's Wu army away.

But what Wei Yan didn't expect was that Chen Dao actually destroyed all of Xu Sheng's warships?
Of course, judging from the results, the best scenario was that Xu Sheng's Wu army lost its warships.

But the question is, how did Chen Dao do it?

Wei Yan, who couldn't figure it out for a while, didn't get stuck on it.

Wei Yan knew that once Chen Dao completed his mission, it would be his turn next.

On the second day, Wei Yan summoned all the generals in Jiangling City.

During the meeting, Wei Yan asked his deputy general Liu Yin to report the current progress of the Wu army to the generals present.

"Just a few days ago, Lu Xun led the bandit army to surround Gong'an."

As soon as Liu Yin said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became gloomy.

The importance of Gong'an to Jingzhou is self-evident, but the generals did not expect that the Wu army would act so quickly.

"A large number of bandit troops also blocked the main roads from Jiangling to Gong'an."

Liu Yin then revealed another piece of information.

This information made the generals present look worried.

All the generals present wanted to send troops to rescue the police, but Xu Sheng's navy was already on the river.

Although Xu Sheng’s navy is gone now, even if they can cross the river, it will be difficult to break through the pass on land.

Besides, how could we know if this was Lu Xun's strategy of besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements?
After all, even though there are tens of thousands of Han troops in Jiangling City, Jiangling is also very important and it is impossible to abandon it.

And if the number of reinforcements is too small, once they are surrounded and attacked by Wu’s army, there will be no recovery.

Wei Yan noticed the worried expressions on the faces of the generals present. After a brief pause, Wei Yan said:
"If our army wants to rescue the public security, it is best to go downstream and bypass Zhouling City."

Given the current battle situation, since a straight-line approach is not feasible, taking a detour to rescue is a possible solution.

But the point is.

"Mr. Chen had previously found out that the waters between Zhouling and Jiangling were once covered with iron chains and spikes by the enemy army.

Given the situation of our navy, it may be difficult to cross that stretch of water.

I hope the general will think twice."

A deputy general in Jiangling City bowed and said to Wei Yan.

More than ten years ago, the Jingzhou navy was as famous as the Jiangdong navy.

But in the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu burned all the warships of Jingzhou to ashes.

Although Guan Yu later wanted to restore the Jingzhou navy, in order to build a strong navy in the world, strong national support was needed.

Unfortunately, after the Battle of Chibi, Jingzhou had been in constant war for years and the national strength had long been exhausted. How could it have the surplus national strength to develop the navy?
Even with the Jingzhou navy in its heyday, it might not be able to break through the iron chains across the river set up by the Wu army, let alone now?

Wei Yan heard the concerns in the general's heart, but with Mi Yang's brilliant plan in his hand, he was not panicked at all.

Just when Wei Yan was about to reveal Mi Yang's brilliant plan, he suddenly noticed a figure slowly approaching from outside the hall.

When the figure walked to the door of the hall, Wei Yan stood up in surprise.

After seeing Wei Yan's performance, all the generals in the hall looked behind them.

When they saw the person Wei Yan was looking at, the generals in the hall all showed expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Da Sima!"

Mi Yang, looking exhausted, strode into the hall.

In the past few days, he led his personal army and traveled day and night, and finally returned to Jiangling today.

Mi Yang's return surprised Wei Yan.

Because according to the previous arrangement, Mi Yang should be outside Wancheng at present.

Mi Yang came in front of Wei Yan and soon he found something wrong.

Mi Yang asked Wei Yan:

"Where is Mr. Chen?"

Mi Yang's question woke Wei Yan up from his surprise. He quickly reported to Mi Yang the whereabouts of Mr. Chen and the content of his discussion just now.

After listening to Wei Yan's report, Mi Yang nodded.

Mi Yang then turned around and looked at the generals in the hall and said:

"What Wen Chang said just now is correct, our army can take a detour through Zhouling.

As for Lu Xun’s iron chain across the river?

Just a joke to me.

Even if there are thousands of iron chains blocking me, I can still break through the waves."

As soon as Mi Yang finished speaking, all the generals in the hall became excited.

"I am willing to follow the Grand Marshal!"

The excitement of the generals in the hall made Wei Yan's teeth sore that they almost broke.

Who asked him to think twice just now?

He seems to be the one who looks the most excited right now!
He was very clear that Mi Yang had not explained exactly what to do.

But the appearance of Mi Yang seemed to make this point unimportant.

In the eyes of the generals in the hall, as long as Mi Yang says it is okay, it must be okay!

Soon after, all the generals, looking excited, left the hall joyfully.

After they all left, Wei Yan asked in confusion:

"Why did Da Sima suddenly return?"

Wei Yan asked this question not because he didn't want to see Mi Yang.

Wei Yan felt that there must be a reason why Mi Yang suddenly changed his plan.

Could it be that I didn’t do well enough and that made Mi Yang worried?

Facing Wei Yan's question, Mi Yang answered without hesitation:
"To attack and destroy the bandits."

After saying this, Mi Yang said softly:

"It's also for good friends, so I want justice."

Mi Yang's tone was not sharp, but his words made Wei Yan feel a chill in his ears.
