While Cao Zhang and Zhang He were waiting for news from Lueyang, Mi Yang, who was in the Han army camp, had the same idea as them.

The only difference from Cao Zhang is that Cao Zhang pays attention to the news from Lueyang to protect himself, while Mi Yang pays attention to the news from Lueyang to defeat the enemy.

As June slowly approaches, the weather in the northwest is gradually getting hotter.

Mi Yang, who had just won a victory, was wearing a cool singlet. He looked at Wang Hong below and asked a question similar to Cao Zhang:

"Has there been any news from Lueyang yet?"

After hearing Mi Yang's inquiry, Wang Hong did not dare to neglect.

He quickly stood up, bowed to Mi Yang and replied, "Not yet."

Wang Hong's answer made Mi Yang a little unhappy.

In an unhappy mood, Mi Yang's voice inevitably sounded stiff:

"Send Officer Si Wenli to investigate again.

No matter whether Boyo succeeds or fails, Gu must get the exact news as soon as possible."

Wang Hongnai is Mi Yang's old friend, and since he took charge of Si Wen Cao, he has been with Mi Yang most of the time, so he understands Mi Yang's daily behavior and tone very well.

Therefore, Wang Hong could easily hear Mi Yang's dissatisfaction with him from his current tone.

Wang Hong couldn't help but be shocked when he realized this.

Although Mi Yang had a warm attitude towards his subordinates in the past, as Mi Yang continued to accumulate his achievements, he naturally carried a power that was difficult for ordinary people to resist.

Wang Hong knew that everything he had today was all because of Mi Yang's words.

But similarly, if Mi Yang wants to take away everything from him, all he needs is one sentence.

Wang Hong, who was alert in his heart, quickly bowed to Mi Yang again and promised: "Within three days, I will definitely find out the news about Lueyang for the general."

After Mi Yang heard Wang Hong's promise, his expression became better.

After all, Jieting is quite far away from Lueyang, and with the delay in sending and receiving messages, Wang Hong's three-day promise is already considered very urgent.

Mi Yang responded softly to Wang Hong.

Wang Hong was delighted to see Mi Yang agreeing to accept his crime and make meritorious service. After he resigned from Mi Yang, he immediately walked out of the tent to arrange everything.

Looking at Wang Hong's leaving figure, Mi Yang seemed to be talking to himself, with a sigh in his words: "It's difficult to use him in a narrow way."

When Mi Yang said these words, Ding Feng behind Mi Yang seemed not to have heard them.

He still kept his eyes and nose, nose and heart, like a wooden man.

It's not that Ding Feng is deaf, it's that he knows this sentence, and it's not something he should respond to.

However, although Ding Feng knew how to avoid suspicion, there was more than just Ding Feng in the big tent at the moment.

Deng Ai is also here.

After Deng Ai heard Mi Yang's words, unlike Ding Feng, Deng Ai immediately responded to Mi Yang's words.

"It is indeed difficult for Captain Si Wen to hold a big position, but there is no need to worry about it as a general. There are so many talented people in the Han Dynasty today, and the general can choose the best to appoint him, so why should he sigh because of this?"

To be honest, Deng Ai also had doubts about Wang Hong's ability to do things.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. This shows the importance of intelligence to the military.

It is precisely because of this importance that Mi Yang established Si Wencao early to act as his eyes and ears.

Unfortunately, as the Han army's combat scope continued to expand, even though Mi Yang sent many of Mi's children to assist Wang Hong, Wang Hong quickly exposed his lack of ability.

Not mentioning today's incident, when Mi Yang asked about Meng Da's whereabouts some time ago, didn't Wang Hong also hesitate and be unable to answer?

One mistake is considered an accident, but two mistakes can only be considered a dereliction of duty.

In the future, when the Han army attacks, the territory it will defend will be even larger. Wang Hong's negligence caused by his incompetence will likely cause major hidden dangers in the future.

Regarding this, Deng Ai felt that he had to be on guard against this.

That's why after hearing Mi Yang's words, Deng Ai echoed Mi Yang's words without hesitation.

In addition to agreeing, Deng Ai also comforted Mi Yang.

Deng Ai felt that his intentions were good and his behavior was appropriate, but he did not notice that Ding Feng, who was behind Mi Yang, was winking at him crazily at this moment.

Ding Feng wanted to remind Deng Ai that this matter was not something that ministers could participate in the discussion.

It's a pity that Deng Ai's eyes are now on Mi Yang and he didn't notice Ding Feng's kind reminder.

Not to mention Ding Feng's reaction, even Mi Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard that Deng Ai actually responded to him.

However, after being briefly stunned, Mi Yang saw that Deng Ai still had a matter-of-fact look on his face, and he finally laughed out loud.

Mi Yang suddenly remembered an incident that happened in history.

Historically, it was during the period when Sima Zhao was in power over Cao Wei that Cao Wei launched a war of annihilation against Ji Han.

The reason why Sima Zhao wanted to conquer Ji Han at that time was not because he had the ambition to unify the world. He just wanted to accumulate political capital for usurping Wei by conquering Ji Han.

At first, when Sima Zhao revealed his intention to march south, many people in the Cao Wei court disapproved of it.

However, those people quickly realized Sima Zhao's true purpose, so they did not continue to dissuade him.

But what Sima Zhao didn't expect was that while most people inside and outside the court were silent about this matter, Deng Ai, then the governor of Yongzhou, kept writing to dissuade him from the southern expedition.

Moreover, Deng Ai's letter was not only sincere but also listed various reasons, making it impossible for Sima Zhao to refute Deng Ai militarily.

In the end, Sima Zhao was so annoyed by Deng Ai that he had no choice but to send his chief clerk to Yongzhou and directly inform Deng Ai of his true intentions in private.

Deng Ai then stopped writing.

From this incident, we can see how low Deng Ai’s political EQ is.

Take the current situation as an example, regardless of whether Wang Hong is qualified for the position of Captain Si Wen, since Captain Si Wen is Mi Yang's eyes and ears, this matter should not be discussed by the ministers.

What Mi Yang said just now was just out of emotion, and he didn't mean to ask.

Unexpectedly, Deng Ai picked him up on his own.

Fortunately, Deng Ai's master today is Mi Yang.

If it were anyone else, I'm afraid it would be hard to avoid suspecting that Deng Ai's advice had other intentions.

Mi Yang, who knew Deng Ai, would certainly not doubt Deng Ai because of this incident.

Mi Yang even thought Deng Ai was cute like this.

While normal ministers would keep silent in order to avoid suspicion, only Deng Ai would only think about seeking the interests of his lord without worrying too much and just say whatever he wanted.

Mi Yang likes such ministers.

Mi Yang did not directly respond to Deng Ai's suggestion. He motioned for Deng Ai to come to him.

Deng Ai did not doubt that he was there, and quickly walked to Mi Yang and knelt down in front of him.

After Deng Ai sat down, Mi Yang handed the cattail leaf fan in his hand to Deng Ai and motioned for him to shake it for him.

Facing Mi Yang's gesture, Deng Ai happily took the cattail leaf fan from Mi Yang's hand and slowly started fanning Mi Yang.

The interaction between Mi Yang and Deng Ai made Ding Feng, who was behind Mi Yang, very envious.

It can be seen from Mi Yang's affectionate behavior towards Deng Ai that Mi Yang regards Deng Ai as his confidant.

Mi Yang looked very comfortable as the cool wind blew onto her face.

After feeling comfortable, Mi Yang said to Deng Aiyan: "After the battle at Jieting is over, I will go to His Majesty and ask you to fight against the general."

"When the time comes, go to Jingzhou and assist the cavalry general in attacking Wancheng."

Hearing what Mi Yang said, Deng Ai couldn't help but pause for a moment while shaking the fan.

After the Battle of Nanzhong, he was awarded the military position of General Zhonglang due to his meritorious service.

Now Mi Yang wants to promote him to General Zhechong again, which is a normal thing.

What surprised Deng Ai was Mi Yang's move to send him to Jingzhou.

After seeing Deng Ai's surprised look, Mi Yang smiled and explained his intention.

"You are talented.

In addition, you are from Nanyang and were plundered by bandits in Yingchuan County when you were young, which makes you quite familiar with the terrain of the two counties.

I sent you to assist the General of Chariot and Cavalry because I want you to assist the General of Chariot and Cavalry and open up the situation for our army in the Central Plains."

Mi Yang, who has been paying attention to battlefield situations all over the world, will certainly not ignore the important battlefield in Wancheng.

According to the intelligence obtained previously, Zhang Fei's current progress in Yuzhou is not going well.

Although Zhang Fei used flexible tactics to open the way for the Northern Expedition for the Han army, no matter how flexible the tactics were, they must be subordinated to the strategy.

The strategic key point of the Yuzhou war lies in the gain and loss of Wancheng.

If the Han army in Jingzhou wants to enter Yuzhou and threaten Luoyang, then Wancheng will be a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

But Wancheng's city is so solid that it is rare in the world, and can be said to be comparable to Chang'an City.

In addition, Sima Yi was a good defender, and Wancheng was backed by the national strength of the entire Yuzhou state. These factors prevented Zhang Fei from taking Wancheng for a long time.
