Some information cannot be hidden, especially from Jianye who has been infiltrated by the aristocratic family.

After Shiyi sent the order to Yong'an, it didn't take long for the entire Jianye City to know that Sun Quan wanted to recall Lu Xun.

And when this news was known to all Jiangdong's important officials, they all understood Sun Quan's decision.

Many local ministers from Jiangdong immediately wanted to jointly meet with Sun Quan and persuade him to withdraw his orders.

For the local ministers in Jiangdong, in order to protect their own vested interests, they have never supported the use of foreign troops.

If we must use foreign troops, then the best and only choice should be Jingzhou, not Hefei.

But before all the Jiangdong ministers could get together, another blockbuster news began to spread, which shocked them all.

"In the battle of Liangzhou, the entire Wei army was wiped out."

This message was very brief and did not explain in detail how Mi Yang won. However, this brief message caused the entire Jianye City to fall into a strange silence.

Many undercurrents that could not be seen on the surface were running. After a long time, the important ministers from Jiangdong who had originally planned to prevent Sun Quan from attacking Hefei all gave up the idea.

What's more, they directly ordered people to seal their gates with earth, using decisive measures to express their intention to refuse visitors.

This man is Zhang Zhao, the most important official in Jiangdong today.

Zhang Zhao did this for a very simple reason: without him, his face hurts his ears.

His original assertion was known throughout Jianye City and had always been the most critical argument used by local ministers from Jiangdong to oppose the Northern Expedition.

After Zhang Zhao stayed behind closed doors and declined visitors, it meant that there was no power within Jiangdong to stop Sun Quan from sending troops to Hefei.

Military orders were sent one after another from the Taiwei's Mansion in Jianye City to various places in Jiangdong.

Jiangdong, who has been recuperating for several years, finally plans to show his fangs again.

Naturally, Sun Quan's unabashed large-scale move to mobilize troops and transport food could not be concealed from the spies planted by Cao Wei.

Soon, an intensified military situation was heading towards Hefei at an extremely fast speed.

This military situation is bound to cause the world's situation to change drastically again.

The situation of encirclement has been established, and Cao Wei has fish and meat in his case.

...

At the end of August in the fourth year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, after a period of rest, Mi Yang finally led his army to Yangping Pass.

As early as half a month ago, Mi Yang had been dispatching troops to Yangping Pass one after another. He himself even left Nanzheng and came to Seoul, not far from Yangping Pass.

However, after the flood, the road was muddy and difficult to navigate, and he had just experienced a war, so Mi Yang should be considerate and let the army take a good rest.

Cao Hong couldn't run away anyway.

Before Cao Zhen's army was destroyed, the main force of Liangzhou was restrained by Cao Zhen's army. In addition, Cao Hong blocked the passage outside Yangping Pass, which led to the whole territory of Hanzhong falling into a war situation.

But after Cao Zhen's army was destroyed, not only Liangzhou's main force could be withdrawn, but Mi Yang also received assistance from Yizhou's 50,000 troops.

At this moment, the offensive and defensive posture between the enemy and ourselves has completely changed.

Mi Yang did not transfer all his troops to Yangping Pass. He only brought 30,000 troops to Yangping Pass.

The reason why Mi Yang did not transfer all his troops to Yangping Pass was, on the one hand, because he needed to leave part of the army behind to prepare for the subsequent Northern Expedition.

On the other hand, considering the current situation, it is not difficult for 30,000 troops to defeat the two Wei armies of Cao Hong and Guo Huai.

This is not because Mi Yang is arrogant.

Although from the data point of view, the strength of the 30,000-strong army may be similar to Cao Hong's, it is even less than the combined strength of Cao Hong and Guo Huai.

But war has never been a simple competition of data.

No matter how many troops Cao Hong and Guo Huai have, they are still guest troops, while Mi Yang's army is the main army occupying a favorable location.

Moreover, after Mi Yang led his army to Yangping Pass, Cao Hong's grain transportation route was always exposed to the threat of the Han army's front, which allowed the Han army to take the initiative in the war, that is, the weather.

The most important thing is that after this period of brewing, Cao Hong may have received news of Cao Zhen's defeat.

It doesn't matter if Cao Hong hasn't received the news, Mi Yang will help him.

After leading the army to Yangping Pass, Mi Yang did not immediately lead the army to launch a fierce attack on the Wei army camp.

Mi Yang wanted to conquer the enemy without fighting.

Mi Yang ordered that the flags and military resources of the Wei army obtained by cleaning the battlefield should be displayed to the Wei army in the camp one by one.

In addition, Mi Yang also selected thousands of loud sergeants from the army and divided them into two groups to publicize the news of the annihilation of Cao Zhen's army outside the Wei army's camp day and night.

After Mi Yang arranged for people to do these two things, he stayed quietly in Yangping Pass, waiting for the development of the situation.

Compared to Mi Yang's composure, Cao Hong was almost anxious to scratch off all his beard.

Today, Cao Hong held a meeting in the big tent for the third time.

The generals summoned by Cao Hong saw Cao Hong scratching his beard anxiously, and their faces all had a look of death.

After learning the news promoted by the Han army a few days ago, the entire Wei army camp fell into panic.

If it was just the Han army's verbal propaganda, then the tens of thousands of Wei troops would not be like this.

But the important thing is that at the same time, the Han army also displayed many armor flags discarded by the Wei army in the open space outside the Wei army's camp.

The most disgusting thing is that I don’t know if it was Mi Yang’s idea. The Han army must calmly update different armor flags every day under the watchful eyes of the Wei army.

Whenever they saw the Han army transporting new armor flags and putting the old armor flags on vehicles and transporting them back to Yangping Pass, the mentality of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers almost collapsed.

What does this prove?

It proves that there are still many armor flags of our own side in Yangping Pass that will not be displayed in the future, which further proves that the incident promoted by the Han Army in recent days is probably true!

How can this mentality not explode?

Cao Hong even convened an emergency meeting on the first day after Mi Yang arrived with his army.

Even sometimes on the same day, Cao Hong would convene the parliament multiple times.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! To this day, none of the Wei generals know how many meetings they have attended in the past few days.

But have frequent convenings of parliament solved practical problems?

No, this can be seen from Cao Hong's performance.

The actual problem at the moment is that tens of thousands of Wei troops were cut off by Mi Yang's army.

Moreover, because Zhuge Liang led "tens of thousands of Han troops" to camp out of Jiange, the road for tens of thousands of Wei troops to go to Yinping to join Guo Huai has also been cut off.

Under this situation, the tens of thousands of Wei troops currently led by Cao Hong are in a state of being shut down and beaten.

This is another major reason for the violent moral turmoil of tens of thousands of Wei troops.

Cao Hong's impatience was reflected in the eyes of the generals. Coupled with the fact that they were well aware of the desperate situation they were currently facing, the look of death on the faces of the generals became more intense.

It's just that our side is in a desperate situation. Our general is still powerless. How can this not make people despair?

But sometimes emotions can affect each other.

Cao Hong looked at the lifeless expressions on the faces of the generals, which made fear quietly grow in his heart.

For a moment, Cao Hong and the generals in the tent looked at each other, which made them both lose hope for the future of their own army.

This also put the entire tent in an eerie silence.

It's as quiet as a mourning hall.

It seems that today these Wei generals are not gathering to discuss matters, but gathering to mourn their tens of thousands of troops.

However, Cao Wei occupies the essence of China, and capable people emerge in endlessly. In the current big tent, not everyone has a solution in mind.

For example, Sun Li.

When Sun Li saw the lifeless look inside the tent, he was so angry that he almost bit his steel teeth into pieces.

Is this still the great Wei who dominates the world?

Because of the anger in his heart, Sun Li could no longer bear it in the parliament today. He stood up directly and came to Cao Hong to admonish him:

"General Hussars, this is not the time to hesitate. The longer time passes, the more depressed the morale of our army will be.

Our army should take advantage of the fact that the morale of the army has not yet collapsed and concentrate our forces to break through!"

Sun Li's tone was resonant, but after he finished speaking, he aroused scattered laughter in the tent.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if tens of thousands of Wei troops want to escape, they have no choice but to break out of the encirclement.

How come?

Cao Hong did not laugh at Sun Li.

Although Sun Li does not have a high military position at the moment, if he had not dealt with Liu Feng's night attack in time, the Wei army's battle losses would have been even greater.

After this incident, Cao Hong looked at Sun Li quite differently.

But despite this, it could not change Cao Hong's pessimistic mentality.

"Our army's retreat has been blocked by the Han army. Who is Mi Yang? Since he has led his army to block the retreat, how can he let our army break out?"

Cao Hong's response was full of affirmation.
