Chapter 605: Jinhous Wish, The Sun of Setting Stars(1/2)

The generals' enthusiasm for the battle brought a smile to Mi Yang's face.

As a general of the Han Dynasty, Mi Yang liked the energetic appearance of all the Han generals.

Mi Yang's eyes flashed across the faces of the Han generals in front of him. Under his gaze, the mood of the Han generals to fight became even stronger.

They all knew that the general was about to start ordering generals.

All Han generals know that the current battle situation is very favorable to the Han army. The Wei army camp in Weibei that could not be attacked by force in the past is now very likely to be captured in one go.

In this case, Mi Yang's eyes fell on the Han generals, as if he was not choosing which general to kill Guo Huai.

Mi Yang is choosing who will be the next prince among the great men!

Which Han general wouldn't want to be granted a title based on his military exploits?

It's really normal for them to behave like this now.

Didn't you see that Wei Yan, who has a straightforward personality, began to push his colleagues around him to stop them from blocking his body?

Of course, Wei Yan's excited expression could not escape Mi Yang's eyes, but after Mi Yang's eyes stayed on him for a while, he turned to a silver-robed general standing in front of him.

This general is clearly Zhao Yun!

Mi Yang quickly drew out a command arrow and handed it to Zhao Yun. After seeing Mi Yang's actions, Zhao Yun also showed joy on his face and quickly bowed to Mi Yang.

"General Zuo, I have ordered you to lead an army of 50,000 to cross the Wei River again.

We will fight for the crossing tomorrow, can we take Guo Huai's head for me?"

Mi Yang's words fell on the ears of other generals, and their faces clearly showed disappointment.

Wei Yan looked at Zhao Yun with eyes that were almost like knives.

But the joy on Zhao Yun's face became even brighter at this moment.

"I would like to issue a military order!

If we fail to win tomorrow, I am willing to let the general handle me!"

The operation of the 50,000-strong army cannot be accomplished overnight.

Setting a combat mission today and starting to take action tomorrow is not too slow.

Zhao Yun's answer was sonorous and powerful, which made Mi Yang very satisfied.

"I believe in you alone."

After saying this, Mi Yang handed the command arrow in Zhao Yun's hand.

In order to ensure victory in tomorrow's battle, Mi Yang appointed several powerful generals as Zhao Yun's lieutenants.

After arranging all this, Mi Yang ordered the generals to go down and recuperate for tomorrow's battle.

However, as many Han generals gradually left, one general who was as majestic as Zhao Yun stayed alone.

This warrior is none other than the hussar general Ma Chao.

After seeing that there was no one else in the tent, Ma Chao looked at Mi Yang with both confusion and expectation.

Mi Yang knew very well why Ma Chao had such a look.

According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, the rank of hussar general was only lower than that of the general.

So from a common sense point of view, the commander of the 100,000 Han troops in the Western Siege is Mi Yang, and his deputy should be Ma Chao.

But in fact this is not the case.

Although since Liu Bei handed over all the general power to Mi Yang, Ma Chao has been following Mi Yang.

However, during the period from Shanggui to Xiwei, the Han army encountered important combat missions, but Mi Yang did not arrange for Ma Chao to go forward even once.

For example, the last surprise attack on Xixian County.

The surprise attack on Yi County mainly relied on the high mobility of the cavalry, so it was natural for Mi Yang to let Zhao Yun go.

However, compared to Zhao Yun, Ma Chao was obviously more qualified for that task, because most of the cavalry in the Han army were Qiang and Di.

Ma Chao's prestige among the Qiang and Di people cannot be replaced by anyone.

Not to mention Ma Chao's cavalry commanding skills that are unparalleled in the world.

If Ma Chao was just disappointed when he failed to take the order that time, then Mi Yang's arrangement of troops today made Ma Chao feel quite puzzled.

Ma Chao knew that with his past, it would be difficult for him to lead an army independently.

Ma Chao doesn't expect this, he just hopes to become Zhao Yun's lieutenant.

But from Mi Yang's arrangement just now, Ma Chao did not hear his name.

Even Liu Feng, Zhang Yi and others had the opportunity to fight, but he, who was clearly superior to them in terms of force, was never included in Mi Yang's arrangements. How could Ma Chao be willing to do this?

Seeing that Mi Yang didn't respond to his gaze, Ma Chao couldn't help but take a few steps forward, thinking of asking Mi Yang for a closer look.

But when Ma Chao moved his body a few steps forward, Ding Feng in the tent put on a stressed look as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

Under Ding Feng's command, Mi Yang's troops in the big tent couldn't help but stand between Mi Yang and Ma Chao.

The reaction of Mi Yang's pro-army forces made Ma Chao subconsciously stop in his tracks.

But Ma Chao's stop did not make Ding Feng relax his vigilance.

His eyes were always fixed on Ma Chao. Ma Chao had been famous in the world for a long time. He didn't know if the dozens of soldiers in the tent could stop Ma Chao.

At this moment, Ding Feng even thought about calling in the large number of pro-army troops outside the big tent.

But before Ding Feng could speak, Mi Yang said:

"Back off!"

Even though he was worried about Mi Yang's safety, Ding Feng did not dare to disobey Mi Yang's orders.

At Ding Feng's signal, dozens of soldiers stepped aside, allowing Mi Yang to see Ma Chao again.

But at this moment, in Mi Yang's eyes, Ma Chao still had a somewhat uneasy look on his face.

He knew that what he had just done was overstepping his bounds.

Although Liu Bei often calls Mi Yang to him, there are so many ministers in the Han Dynasty. Apart from Mi Yang having this honor, how many other ministers can gain Liu Bei's trust?

For those in a superior position, the area within ten steps in front of them is a restricted area.

After seeing Ma Chao's expression, Mi Yang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Ding Feng's actions just now were not caused by his instructions. Although he did not completely trust Ma Chao, he also knew that Ma Chao would not have any intention to commit murder.

It's just that it's useless for him to trust this. How many people in the world would trust their ten steps in the hands of a general like Ma Chao?

Ding Feng also considered it for his safety.

And Ding Feng's subconscious reaction probably made Ma Chao panic again.

"General Hussar, do you think the solitary arrangement is unfair?"

Hearing Mi Yang's question, Ma Chao's face became more uneasy.

Ma Chao quickly bowed to Mi Yang and explained, "I don't dare."

As much as he was afraid of Liu Bei, Ma Chao was also afraid of Mi Yang.

Ma Chao's fear of Mi Yang stems not only from Mi Yang's great military exploits, but also from Mi Yang's current status.

The position of the hussar general is very noble, but the general is higher than the three princes, and he also has the power of the sword.

Coupled with his bad reputation, Ma Chao believed that if Mi Yang wanted to kill him, it would only be a matter of words.

Seeing that Ma Chao was getting more and more uneasy, Mi Yang sighed and told Ma Chao his true thoughts.

"After the First World War in Liangzhou, doesn't General Hussar still know Gu's thoughts?

The main reason why I haven't let you go into battle is because of your health!"

During the Battle of Yinping, Ma Chao suffered many wounds, which were almost life-threatening.

It is true that Ma Chao has good physical health, and his mental illness has improved a lot due to Mi Yang's actions, so he barely managed to save his life.

But the root of the disease eventually settled in Ma Chao's body.

After all, Ma Chao is already over 40 years old, and he is considered an old man in this world.

Mi Yang knew this, and Ma Chao himself knew it too.

So when Mi Yang's answer fell into Ma Chao's ears, he raised his head and looked at Mi Yang in surprise.

While surprised, the uneasiness in Ma Chao's eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of emotion.

He had thought about many possibilities, but none of them had happened. Mi Yang had not allowed him to go into battle because he was worried about his physical condition.

It's not surprising that Ma Chao didn't expect this. After all, if Mi Yang hadn't said it himself, how would Ma Chao believe that there was anyone else in the world besides Ma Dai who cared about his body?

I'm afraid people in the world will only pay attention to how much value Ma Mengqi, the rebellious son of the Ma family, still has.

When Ma Chao looked at Mi Yang with emotion, Mi Yang continued:

"Although you are no less brave than General Zuo, we both know that your body cannot withstand high-intensity combat.
