Mi Han

Chapter 515

Chapter 515

Wei Yan looked at Ding Feng in front of him, and recalled the contents of the secret letter he had read just now, and the anxious and melancholy look on his face could not dissipate for a long time.

Ding Feng was the most famous subordinate under Mi Yang's tent before. During the battle of Liangzhou, he had been in charge of leading the army to guard Xingshi.

Under Ding Feng's protection, even though Cao Zhen led his army to attack Xingshi City many times, Xingshi City was not captured by Cao Zhen after all.

Of course, this is also due to Cao Zhen's fear of Ding Feng's prestige.

After the Xiangfan War that year, Cao Zhen had also heard of Ding Feng's reputation as a "Wooden Captain".

In addition, Wei Jun's strategy at that time did not necessarily have to seize Xingshi, which allowed Ding Feng to breathe and keep Xingshi.

However, even if Cao Zhen did not do his best in the offensive and defensive battle of Xingshi, he was able to defend Xingshi City for so long under the circumstances of insufficient troops, which shows that Ding Feng's general strategy is extraordinary.

After the battle in Liangzhou, many officials in Liangzhou privately speculated that Ding Feng might become a general in the near future.

The label of Mi Yang's confidant is enough to guarantee Ding Feng's smooth sailing in the officialdom.

But it was such a rising star who was visible to the naked eye, who did not stay in Nanzheng to wait for his worship, but came all the way to Wudu County.

This is really a bit abnormal.

The first time Wei Yan knew of Ding Feng's arrival, Wei Yan even thought that Mi Yang didn't believe in his ability to handle affairs, and asked Ding Feng to pursue Guo Huai instead.

After all, in the past days, although he led the army to cling to the rear of the Wei army, because of Guo Huai's ability, Wei Yan never caught the opportunity to defeat Guo Huai's Wei army.

With the whole Liangzhou immersed in the joy of victory, Wei Yan's progress seemed to be quite behind.

It's normal for Mi Yang to be displeased.

But after Ding Feng came to him and handed Mi Yang's secret letter to Wei Yan, Wei Yan who had read the contents of the secret letter fell into doubts at first.

The reason why Wei Yan was puzzled was that the contents of Mi Yang's secret letter were not simple.

It turned out that Mi Yang saw that there was no good news from Wei Yan, so he understood that it would be very difficult for Wei Yan to defeat Guo Huai's Wei army.

Opportunities are often fleeting, and Wei Yan's best opportunity to defeat Wei Jun lies in the fact that Wei Jun's army was unstable when he just learned the news of Cao Zhen's defeat.

That's why Mi Yang asked Wei Yan to lead his army to catch up with the Wei army led by Guo Huai as soon as possible.

It's just that Guo Huai is different from Cao Hong after all. He learned the news of Cao Zhen's defeat the day before Wei Yan led his army to Yinpingwai, which allowed him to escape from Yinpingwai in time.

This gave Guo Huai a chance to survive.

The news of Cao Zhen's defeat may have shocked Guo Huai's army at first, but with the passage of time, this shock will gradually lessen, especially in the country that is getting closer to the border of Wei State. case.

This means that the best fighter of the Han army has been lost.

After judging this point, Mi Yang immediately adjusted his strategy. He asked Ding Feng to rush to the army of Wei Jun, and gave his latest order to Wei Yan:

"If Guo Huai cannot be defeated, Jiang Wei must be captured alive."

After learning of Mi Yang's new order, Wei Yan could still understand the first half of the order, but Wei Yan was very puzzled by the second half of the order.

Who is Jiang Wei?

Who made Mi Yang accept the result of not being able to defeat Guo Huai, but couldn't accept the price of losing him?

And who made Mi Yang so determined to win that he sent two generals with the highest military exploits under his command to capture him alive together?

If this person is Cao Zhen, even Cao Hong and Wei Yan can understand.

But Wei Yan had never heard of Jiang Wei's name.

But after being deeply puzzled, Wei Yan still burned Mi Yang's secret letter under Ding Feng's gaze.

After burning the secret letter, the doubts in my heart disappeared with the smoke.

After all, no matter who Jiang Wei is, Mi Yang naturally has intentions for him, and as Mi Yang's subordinate, he can only do one thing, and that is to fulfill his intentions for Mi Yang at all costs.

And this is also the source of Wei Yan's distress and anxiety.

Jiang Wei is now in Guo Huai's army, if he wants to capture Jiang Wei alive, unless he can defeat Guo Huai's army, it's just that he can't do this at the moment.

This put Wei Yan into an unsolvable cycle.

You must know that Mi Yang not only gave Wei Yan the latest instructions in the secret letter, he also informed Wei Yan of the consequences if he failed to complete the instructions.

"Jiang Wei doesn't enter Liangzhou, so don't you either."

Can Wei Yan not feel anxious for an ordinary pursuit of the enemy, but put himself at risk of not being able to go home?

Ding Feng saw Wei Yan's anxiety and boredom, but as a colleague, he said that there was nothing he could do to help.

After thinking about it in every possible way, Wei Yan could only come up with one solution:

"Spread the news of Captain Ding's arrival.

In addition, order the three armies to continue to bite the bandit army tightly! "

Since he may not be able to go home, Guo Huai should not even think about going home.

But compared to himself, isn't Guo Huai anxious?

Under anxiety, Guo Huai will definitely respond, and he only needs to follow Guo Huai's response and adapt to the situation.

Wei Yan's prediction was right.

The Wei army was not far from the Han army, and Guo Huai, who was in the Wei army, quickly learned the news from Wei Yan and the latest movements of the Han army.

After hearing the news of Ding Feng's arrival, Guo Huai was furious. He rode on the horse and kept waving his whip and shouting angrily:

"Mad dog, what a mad dog!"

The mad dog Guo Huai called was referring to Wei Yan.

Guo Huai really hated Wei Yan at this moment.

How could he fight like this?

Obviously unable to catch up with his own army, but still biting behind his own army, what is Wei Yantu doing?

Is it just to make yourself unable to retreat?

The world also praised Wei Yan as a famous general, what kind of famous general is this!

Wei Yan fights like this, does Mi Yang know?

All kinds of indignation kept flickering in his heart, and finally Guo Huai couldn't help being so angry that he could only keep cursing Wei Yan as a "mad dog".

The reason why Guo Huai was so angry was not that he was worried that a single Han army could swallow his entire army.

But not now, what about after a while?

Although he retreated in a timely manner, Wei Yan was not a vegetarian. He was always good at marching quickly, and he still led his army to follow closely behind his own army.

This made Guo Huai lead his army to retreat while guarding the rear. How could such a retreat be accelerated?

This situation already made Guo Huai very anxious, but today he learned the news of Ding Feng's arrival, which made Guo Huai even more angry, but also faintly afraid.

Who is Ding Feng!

He is the number one general in Mi Yang's direct line.

Mi Yang must have sent him to Wei Yan's side to capture him.

There is no doubt about this, Guo Huai thinks he has such a place in Mi Yang's heart.

While Mi Yang's determination benefited Guo Huai a bit, he couldn't help thinking that Wei Yan was already so difficult, what if he added Ding Feng who was brave enough to fight and was not afraid of death?

And if Wei Yan and Ding Feng can't capture themselves for a long time, will Mi Yang lead the army to come in person?

This is what worries Guo Huai the most.

It is already a great danger that our own army cannot return to Guanzhong quickly.

The most dangerous thing is that the morale of one's own army is not stable.

The news of Cao Zhen's defeat hurt the morale of the army too much. If it weren't for his deep prestige in the army, he would have no way to continue to command the army.

But although the current morale of the army is temporarily stable under his stability, what if Mi Yang leads the army in person?

Guo Huai didn't even have the confidence to defeat Mi Yang when the army's morale was strong, let alone in this situation.

There are many things that cannot be thought about blindly, as soon as one thinks blindly, fear will emerge uncontrollably.

Under the fear in his heart, Guo Huai knew he couldn't go on like this.

After Wei Jun approached Xiabian City, Guo Huai quickly made a decision in his mind.

Guo Huai urgently convened a council to discuss their next steps.

Just as Wei Yan expected, even the always witty Guo Huai could imagine the news he released, not to mention the Wei generals under him.

The Wei generals looked panic-stricken and had no strategy to deal with the enemy. Guo Huai was much better than Cao Hong, and he directly stated his plan.

Guo Huai looked at Lieutenant General Chang Diao and said:

"Now our army is forced by the bandit army and cannot return to Guanzhong quickly. If it goes on for a long time, our army will be completely wiped out."

Guo Huai first exaggerated the seriousness of the matter.

Sure enough, after Guo Huai finished speaking, Chang Diao and the Wei generals looked even more panicked.

After seeing the atmosphere brewing, Guo Huai stated his purpose:

"Now our army has arrived outside Xiabian City, do you still remember Gushan outside Xiabian City?"

Gu Shan, of course, is no stranger to the Wei generals present.

Gushan Mountain Road is the only way for Xiabian to go to Sanguan. At the beginning, Ma Chao led thousands of Han troops to control Gushan first, so that he could stop Guo Huai for such a long time.

Since Ma Chao was able to do this back then, Guo Huai could naturally do it too.

What Guo Huai lacks now is a general like Ma Chao who can defend Gushan mountain road for him.

And obviously in Guo Huai's heart, Chang Diao is that general.

None of the people present were fools. Although Guo Huai didn't understand what he said, all the generals present understood what he said.

Therefore, Wei Jiang who was present was secretly glad that he was not selected by Guo Huai, and on the other hand, he cast his eager eyes on Chang Diao, hoping that Chang Diao could take over this task.

Because if Chang Diao is willing to come forward, it means that they have the hope of escaping from death.

Facing the stares of Guo Huai and his colleagues, Chang Diao's face turned blue and white. He didn't know why Guo Huai chose him, but did he have any choice?

For Wei, Chang Diao is naturally loyal.

In the end, Chang Diao could only bow to Guo Huai, expressing his willingness to take on this burden.

Seeing that Chang Diao did not disappoint him, Guo Huai was overjoyed.

He immediately promised Chang Diao: "You only need to guard the main road of Gushan for a few months. After I return to Guanzhong to rectify the troops, I will personally lead the army to approach you."

This is the best situation Guo Huai imagined for Chang Diao.

But there is also a worst case scenario.

After pondering for a moment, Guo Huai said to Chang Diao:

"If something unexpected happens, your wife, I will take care of it myself!"

Compared with Guo Huai's first promise, this promise makes Chang Diao look forward to it.

Chang Diao's family background is not high, on the contrary, Guo Huai is from a famous family. If Guo Huai can raise his children, with Guo Huai's family background, his children have a bright future.

After thinking of this, Chang Diao bowed to Guo Huai again.

After making the decision to let Chang Diao guard Gushan, Guo Huai let others retreat first, and he said to Chang Diao who was left alone:

"I will make Jiang Wei your lieutenant general and guard Gushan together with you."

Hearing what Guo Huai said, Chang Diao looked up at Guo Huai in surprise.

He knew that Guo Huai was suspicious of Jiang Wei, so what was the purpose of Guo Huai's arrangement?

After seeing Chang Diao's suspicious eyes, Guo Huai did not hide his intention.

"You also know that Jiang Wei's behavior was a bit abnormal before, so I have to be careful.

Before everything is found out, I can't continue to bring Jiang Wei by my side. "

Suspecting that Jiang Wei had some unspeakable dealings with Mi Yang, and knowing that Mi Yang was bound to win him, no normal person would continue to keep Jiang Wei by his side.

"However, Jiang Wei came from a famous family and has a close relationship with the governor of Liangzhou. If there is no conclusive evidence, it is not easy for me to touch him."

"After I lead the army to leave, you will take good care of him for me. If there is no abnormality in him, it will be a blessing for Wei.

If you really find evidence that Jiang Wei has colluded with the enemy, report it to me as soon as possible, and I will deal with it myself. "

From Guo Huai's point of view, the Han army is pressing on every step of the way. Although it is a crisis for the Wei army, it is also an excellent opportunity to investigate Jiang Wei.

If Jiang Wei is really Mi Yang's spy, then in order to cater to Mi Yang's eagerness to capture him, Jiang Wei will definitely do something.

And if Chang Diao is witty enough, he can buy more time for himself in a counter-intuitive way.

Even if Chang Diao didn't have this wit, it would be good to take this opportunity to find out Jiang Wei's true face.

All kinds of arrangements, in Guo Huai's view, are seamless.

Chang Diao suddenly realized Guo Huai's explanation, and he immediately said to Guo Huai:

"Don't worry, the general, the eagle will definitely live up to the general's expectations."

Chang Diao's words made Guo Huai nod.

After arranging the last thing, Guo Huai issued a military order to leave [-] Wei troops to Chang Diao, while he led most of the remaining Wei troops across Gushan and quickly continued towards Sanguan.

Wei Yan also arrived outside Xiabian City not long after, and the scouts in the army quickly brought back the latest military situation.

After learning that Guo Huai sent some Wei troops to guard Gushan, Wei Yan was not surprised by this.

If he will do so.

But the second half of the news reported by the scouts directly made Wei Yan overjoyed.

Guo Huai left two Wei generals to guard Gushan, one named Chang Diao and the other named Jiang Wei.

He didn't care about Chang Diao Wei Yan at all. After hearing Jiang Wei's name, Wei Yan jumped up from his seat excitedly - that was his hope to go home!

Wei Yan quickly ordered: "The whole army is stationed on the spot, and build siege equipment!"

Wei Yan didn't know why Guo Huai left Jiang Wei to guard Gushan, he felt as if there were two invisible hands in the dark, quietly moving everything.

But Wei Yan knew that no matter what, he would break through the Gushan Fortress as soon as possible, and dedicate Jiang Wei's little boy to Mi Yang!

It's not surprising that Longyang is good.

The general has great martial arts skills, so what if he has a little hobby?

　There is another chapter in the morning.
