After understanding Zhuge Liang's intention, Mi Yang was not surprised.

Nanzhong has always been a concern of modern Han Dynasty.

It is true that in recent years, due to the Han's continuous victory in foreign operations, Nanzhong has always seemed quite peaceful.

It’s just that all knowledgeable people among the Han people know that Nanzhong’s peace is only temporary.

Because as early as when Liu Yan ruled Yizhou, the four counties of Nanzhong had always been nominally subordinate to Yizhou.

But in fact, from all aspects, the four counties of Nanzhong can be regarded as an independent local separatist force.

For this reason, the conflict between Dahan and Nanzhong is irreconcilable, and sooner or later a war will break out between the two.

This war may be delayed due to various external reasons, but at a sensitive time, this war will definitely take place.

And now that sensitive time has arrived.

When Mi Yang was young, he heard Liu Bei say that the Yizhou family and the local forces in Nanzhong were essentially related to each other.

The Yizhou family used its financial ability to support the local forces in Nanzhong from time to time, allowing them to continue to grow in the past days.

In this case, the Yizhou family can rely on the local forces in Nanzhong as foreign aid to make those in power fear them.

And thus created a powerful armed force to protect their privileges in Yizhou.

With this inseparable connection, when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang decided to launch a purge of the Yizhou family, the local forces in Nanzhong would not sit idly by and ignore it.

Historically, after Liu Bei's defeat at Yiling, Nanzhong began to raise a rebellion flag. This was not because the local forces in Nanzhong wanted to overthrow Liu Bei's regime.

In other words, this is not the main reason why they raised the flag of rebellion.

Historically, the turmoil in South China lasted for several years and was once very powerful.

However, during those years, the rebels in Nanzhong rarely invaded the hinterland of Yizhou. If they really wanted to overthrow Ji Han's regime, Meng Huo and other rebel leaders would not do so.

Therefore, it can be inferred from all aspects that the historical turmoil in Nanzhong was probably a power-seizing trick launched by the Yizhou Family Alliance and the alien tribes in Nanzhong.

After all, after the Nanzhong turmoil broke out, whether it was war or peace, Zhuge Liang's best way was to use a large number of Yizhou officials who had a deep knowledge of the foreign races in Nanzhong.

Perhaps the situation faced by the Han Dynasty today is very different from that in history, but the bitter relationship between the foreign tribes in Nanzhong and the Yizhou family will not change.

As long as this relationship does not change, then Zhuge Liang's worries are likely to come true.

Although he had already guessed that the foreign tribes in the south were about to launch a rebellion, Zhuge Liang did not summon his ministers to discuss the matter. Instead, he specifically asked Mi Yang for his opinion in a secret message.

Zhuge Liang did this on the one hand because many Yizhou aristocratic families have not yet been convicted, and the mobilizing forces within the Han Dynasty have not yet been extinguished.

If the news of the impending rebellion in Nanzhong is spread too early at this time, the situation in the Han Dynasty will inevitably be further turbulent, which Zhuge Liang does not want to see.

On the other hand, there is currently no minister in Chengdu who is good at military strategy. Under such circumstances, even if he convenes ministers for discussion, he may not be able to get any good advice.

On the contrary, asking Mi Yang about the matter privately would, on the one hand, ensure the confidentiality of the matter, and on the other hand, if Mi Yang did not have any good suggestions, there would be no need to summon the ministers.

This is how Zhuge Liang values ​​Mi Yang.

Precisely because she knew that Zhuge Liang valued her very much, Mi Yang was still thinking hard late at night, thinking about giving Zhuge Liang a good suggestion.

In fact, in history, Zhuge Liang also asked Ma Di for his opinion on this matter, and Ma Di's answer was cited by many people in later generations as the best way to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong.

If he had just traveled through time, Mi Yang might have copied Ma Di's answer.

Only after experiencing many wars did Mi Yang deeply understand why Liu Bei made an "exaggerated" evaluation of Ma Di.

Historically, Ma Su's suggestion of "attacking the heart first" is not wrong.

But it’s too spacey.

No general who has read military literature knows these four words: attack the heart first, let alone Zhuge Liang.

Focusing on attacking the heart is a panacea, not to mention applicable to countering the rebellion in the south, it can also be used as a strategy of the Han army in the future Northern Expedition.

It is also a good strategy even when used in domestic affairs.

But war is never that easy.

Everyone knows the strategy of Tiger Balm, but in order to win a war, what is really needed is the specific tactics of "attacking the heart first".

This is exactly what Mi Yang is troubled about now.

But despite the distress, luckily Mi Yang is a time traveler.

His greatest advantage over the current generation is that he knows the history of the Battle of South China.

Because of this advantage, Mi Yang gradually had some ideas in his mind.

With some ideas in mind, Mi Yang immediately came to sit down at the desk, then picked up a brush, spread out a blank silk book, and started writing on it.

The first sentence Mi Yang wrote was: "Overcoming one difficulty is easy, overcoming many is easy."

This sentence is what Mi Yang believes to be the best tactic to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong in the future.

The reason why Mi Yang suggested this tactic to Zhuge Liang was that Nanzhong had a very big weakness, that is, they were not actually united.

Since the enemy has such a weakness, it would be a pity if we don't want to take advantage of it.

After writing this programmatic sentence, Mi Yang wrote some specific methods in his silk book on how he thought this could be achieved.

Since he was not on the battlefield and had no clear intelligence support, Mi Yang didn't know how effective his methods would be in the future.

But if his method can give Zhuge Liang some inspiration, then Mi Yang thinks it is worth it.

Anyway, Mi Yang also knew that even without him, the turmoil in Nanzhong was really not enough to make Zhuge Liang feel helpless.

After writing the corresponding method, Mi Yang added another sentence at the end of the silk book.

"Yizhou's military strength is weak. If Ming Gong is worried about insufficient troops during his southern expedition, I can dispatch some of Liangzhou's elite troops to assist Ming Gong in defeating the enemy."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After writing this sentence, Mi Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he carefully checked the contents of the silk book again.

After realizing that there were no other omissions, Mi Yang called Ding Feng.

Ding Feng, as Mi Yang's subordinate governor, has been guarding outside Mi Yang's tent with a halberd in his hand.

At Mi Yang's shout, Ding Feng immediately ran in from outside the tent.

After Ding Feng came in, he saw that Mi Yang seemed to have temporarily recovered from his sadness, and he felt happy in his heart.

To this day, Mi Yang's personal safety, honor and disgrace have been deeply tied to those of his subordinates.

Mi Yang handed the silk book in his hand to Ding Feng, and then he said to Ding Feng: "Send a quick horse and send it to Chengdu immediately without any mistake."

Although Ding Feng didn't know what the content of the silk book was, Mi Yang's instructions made him realize the importance of the silk book in his hand.

After bowing to Mi Yang, he quickly ran out of the tent to look for Xinqi.

After Ding Feng left, Mi Yang, who had finished solving an important matter, leaned on a soft chair and took a rest.

Although he wanted to rest, Mi Yang couldn't help but start thinking about who he should send to lead the army south.

As he wrote in his letter, Yizhou's military strength is currently weak.

Among the three states of the Han Dynasty, since Liangzhou and Jingzhou are both strategically important places, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in each of the two states.

However, in recent years, the Han Dynasty has been involved in successive wars, which have almost completely depleted the national power of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the big men could have a good rest and recuperation, under the auspices of Zhuge Liang, many sergeants from Yizhou were released into the fields last year.

If Zhuge Liang wants to conquer the south in the future, Yizhou may face a situation of insufficient military strength.

After all, the Yizhou base camp also needs a large army to protect it.

Under this situation, Mi Yang knew that his initiative to mobilize troops to assist Zhuge Liang in his southern expedition was likely to be approved by Zhuge Liang.

Although Mi Yang regarded his army as the foundation for his livelihood, he also knew that he could not be where he is today without Liu Bei's efforts to promote him.

Therefore, when the big man needs it, Mi Yang will never do tricks to support his troops and respect himself.

Since it is very likely that a part of the Liang army will be sent to capture the enemy in the future, the general of the Liang army who is responsible for commanding the troops will have to think carefully.

Zhang Yi, Ding Feng, Deng Ai, Meng Da, Wei Yan, Wu Yi and other personal names flashed in Mi Yang's mind.

These six generals are currently under Mi Yang's command and are qualified to lead an army on their own.

After thinking carefully, Mi Yang picked up the brush on the desk and wrote the name of a general on a piece of paper.

Deng Ai.

Currently, among his six generals, only Deng Ai needs military exploits to prove his reputation the most.

After deciding on this matter, Mi Yang leaned on the soft chair and fell asleep deeply.

It was impossible for him to lead the army south personally because his enemy was Cao Zhen, the pillar of Cao Wei.

...

As Mi Yang received the news from Chengdu, Yang Fu in Chencang soon also learned about everything that happened in Chengdu.

When Yang Fu learned the news, he couldn't believe it for a moment.

How dare Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang be so decisive?

At the beginning, Yang Fu suggested to Cao Zhen that he could make Mi Yang leave Liangzhou by disrupting Yizhou's internal affairs.
