Mi Han

Chapter 759: Hidden Dissension and New Wild Cave Opened
Tian Yu led 5,000 elite Wei troops and marched secretly in the Nieyang area.

Although five thousand people is a large number, the terrain near Nieyang is complicated.

If they were careful and vigilant, the Han army would not easily detect their advance - unless Deng Ai was a very cautious person and greatly expanded the scope of the scouts' exploration.

This sounds a little unbelievable. After all, Deng Ai's army was outside Wancheng, and Nieyang was nearly a hundred miles away from Wancheng.

Which general would be so cautious as to let his scouts run so far?
Come to think of it, being cautious is a bit abnormal
What Tian Yu didn’t know was that there was someone in the world who was so cautious, and that person was Zhuge Liang.

During the Southern Expedition, the reason why Zhuge Liang was able to anticipate the enemy's moves several times despite the lack of geographical advantages was mainly due to his "radar tactics".

What Tian Yu didn't know was that in order to train Deng Ai, Mi Yang had specially sent Deng Ai to Zhuge Liang to receive instruction.

Deng Ai had learned Zhuge Liang's "radar tactics".

Of course, due to the lack of intelligence, Tian Yu did not understand the above points.

Precisely because he doesn’t understand, Tian Yu won’t waste too much energy on some low-probability events.

Tian Yu’s idea is very simple. Instead of worrying about low-probability events, it is better to try his best to complete his main task perfectly.

When it comes to leading troops through dangerous areas, Tian Yu's ability is indeed extraordinary.

There are dense swamps near Nieyang and the roads in the mountains and forests are rugged. Even the local hunters cannot guarantee that he can always get out of the complex terrain around Nieyang safely.

But Tian Yu dared to lead 5,000 Wei troops and plunge into the complex terrain near Nieyang with only a map in his hand.

A few days later, Tian Yu, with scars on his body, led thousands of Wei troops and successfully crossed Nieyang and arrived near Anzhong County.

However, from the scars on Tian Yu's body, we can see that although he succeeded in doing this, he did encounter dangers along the way.

Even the commander-in-chief Tian Yu had scars on his body, let alone the ordinary Wei army?
After counting the number of people, Tian Yu discovered that during the march over the past few days, the Wei army's non-combat casualties had reached hundreds of people.

These hundreds of people are the elite soldiers of the Wei army who are worth two for one!

Thinking of this, Tian Yu couldn't help but sigh with regret.

But Tian Yu soon calmed down and ordered his men to capture several local hunters to find out where they were now.

Soon after, several terrified hunters were brought to Tian Yu by the vicious Wei army.

From the hunters, Tian Yu learned that he had successfully arrived in Anzhong County, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the process was difficult and dangerous, fortunately the result was good.

But after he asked the hunters, his deputy general Xiahou Lian beside him subconsciously drew his weapon and wanted to kill those innocent hunters directly.

After seeing this scene, Tian Yu quickly spoke out to stop it:
"stop!"

Tian Yu's obstruction left Xiahou Lian puzzled.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, killing these hunters is the safest thing to do.

After all, compared with the hegemony of the Great Wei, what are the lives of a few hunters?

Tian Yu knew why Xiahou Lian killed those hunters, but he could not accept this approach.

Looking at the hunters on the ground trembling with fear, Tian Yu couldn't help but think of an incident that happened decades ago.

That year, Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zan, and once Gongsun Zan intended to kill the captured Yuan army.

When no one dared to dissuade him, it was Liu Bei who stood up and stopped Gongsun Zan's butcher knife:

"In troubled times, people should be the priority!"

That was the first meeting between Tian Yu and Liu Bei.

But it was that first meeting that made Tian Yu fall in love with Liu Bei.

How can people who are not living in troubled times understand how shocking the phrase "people-oriented" is in troubled times with bones everywhere?

What a pity and sigh!
I will never have the chance to see Lord Xuande again.

Facing Xiahou Lian's puzzled gaze, Tian Yu, immersed in past memories, subconsciously said:

“Under the unsettled world, people should be the priority.”

This sentence was indeed what Tian Yu was thinking at the moment, but as soon as he said this, he immediately thought to himself that something was wrong!

Sure enough, after hearing Tian Yu say the four words "people-oriented", Xiahou Lian looked at Tian Yu with interest.

As a member of the Xiahou clan, Liu Bei's mortal enemy, how could Xiahou Lian not know whose famous saying "people first" was?

After realizing that there was something wrong with Xiahou Lian's gaze on him, Tian Yu was afraid that something might happen, so he did not explain further.

He directly gave the order as the commander-in-chief:

"Just bring these people with you into the army and prevent them from leaking secrets."

After giving the order, Tian Yu said no more and continued marching with the soldiers behind him.

Anzhong County was just a transit point. Tian Yu’s real target was Xinye behind the Han army.

But when Tian Yu left and several Wei soldiers wanted to put down their butcher knives, Xiahou Lian directly ordered:
"kill."

Xiahou Lian's tone was quite cold.

Xiahou Lian's order shocked the Wei soldiers.

Tian Yu had clearly just given the order to let these hunters go.

Seeing several Wei soldiers hesitating there, Xiahou Lian could not help but said angrily:

"Didn't you hear my order?"

Xiahou Lian was Xiahou Dun's younger brother and a prominent relative of the Wei Dynasty.

Under the tyranny of Xiahou Lian, the Wei soldiers did not dare to hesitate any longer and directly took the hunters to a secret place and executed them.

After hearing the faint screams coming from afar, Xiahou Lian showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

Then Xiahou Lian looked at Tian Yu who was walking further and further ahead, and he realized:

"After all, Tian Yu and I are not the same kind of people."

When thousands of Wei troops entered Anzhong County, their marching speed suddenly increased a lot.

While marching towards Xinye, Tian Yu discovered that the Han army's vigilance along the way was quite lax.

This is consistent with his speculation before he sent troops.

At this moment, Deng Ai focused his main energy on Wancheng, just like Cao Xiu did before.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the Han army's defense near Xinye relaxed.

However, Tian Yu did not relax his vigilance just because the Han army slacked off.

But Xiahou Lian, who was beside Tian Yu, didn't think so.

Xiahou Lian remembered clearly how Bowang was captured by the Han army.

As they got closer to Xinye, Xiahou Lian felt more and more that the Han army had made the same fatal mistake as they had made in the past.

When Xiahou Lian arrived outside Xinye City, this idea was stimulated to a peak by a piece of information.

"Xinye's defenses are weak, and there are not many bandit soldiers inside or outside."

When Xiahou Lian heard this information, he almost jumped for joy.

"The enemy's unpreparedness is a godsend opportunity for our army to seize Xinye!"

Looking at the open gate of Xinye city in the distance, Xiahou Lian's blood was surging violently.
