After knowing Mi Yang's true purpose, Zhang He's mind is now like a mess.

Zhang He couldn't help but think of the last time he met Mi Yang.

After thinking about the past, Zhang He raised his head and looked at Mi Yang with confused eyes, and asked:

"Da Sima originally sent Shi Bao to Yong'an for today?"

Facing Zhang He's question, Mi Yang felt that there was no need to hide it from Zhang He now, so he nodded.

But Mi Yang's nod made Zhang He even more confused.

Zhang He is a person who loves analyzing strategies.

Now his hobby has completely messed up his thoughts.

"Let Shi Bao go to Yong'an and let everyone in the world know your determination to support Yong'an.

In this way, Lu Xun would not dare to be careless, and in order to ensure Yong's safety to the greatest extent, he would contact Cao Xiu to send troops.

Once Cao Xiu sends troops, Da Sima will have a reason to lead his army north. In Lu Xun's view, your move will only be regarded as a helpless move on your part, rather than as part of your plan.

.

After you led your army to Yiyang County, you saw that Cao Xiu had no desire to fight, so you thought of turning passivity into initiative, and taking Bowang as the key to breaking the situation.

Because you know that once Bowang is lost, Cao Rui will definitely be terrified.

Cao Rui at this time is like Lu Xun some time ago.

In order to ensure that Xuchang is safe, Cao Rui will also follow Lu Xun's example and use the Wu army as foreign aid.

As long as things develop to this point, it is very likely that Lu Xun will lead his army to attack the hinterland of Jingzhou, and you will find an opportunity to defeat him!"

Zhang He explained Mi Yang's full plan sentence by sentence.

After he explained clearly, Zhang He stared at Mi Yang closely, and subconsciously said in disbelief:

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. This is a truth passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And you just want to use this truth to achieve the purpose of luring the Wu army to go deep.

Da Sima, your grasp of people's hearts is truly amazing."

As Mi Yang's full plan was revealed, Zhang He's thoughts gradually returned to normal.

After Zhang He's thoughts returned to normal, he was really impressed by Mi Yang's strategy.

Taking the city of Yong'an as an opportunity and based on the people's hearts, Mi Yang planned a chess game that was enough to bring Wu Jun to death.

How could Zhang He not be impressed by such wisdom and courage?

But Zhang He was still a little confused.

"People's hearts are always fickle. What if Lu Xun and Cao Rui don't act according to your ideas, Da Sima?"

Although it is true that lips are dead and teeth are cold, and Cao Rui and Lu Xun are not stupid people, but as Zhang He said, people's hearts are fickle.

No one can guarantee that Mi Yang’s presumptions will come true.

What if something goes wrong in a certain link?

After hearing Zhang He's question, Mi Yang smiled and said:

"For the Han Dynasty, even if Cao Rui and Lu Xun do not act according to Gu's ideas, what will be lost?

If Lu Xun did not ask Cao Xiu for help, then he could focus on heading eastward.

Although the Soochow navy is difficult to fight, Gu Yi is not afraid to fight.

The worst result is that Gu missed the opportunity to capture Yong'an.

And if Cao Xiu wants to fight, or if your surprise attack on Bowang fails, or if Cao Rui doesn't ask for help from Soochow, then it's actually not a big deal.

If Cao Xiu dares to ask for a battle or your surprise attack on Bowang fails, I will personally deploy the defense line and then lead my army to help Yong'an.

And if after you win Bowang, Cao Rui doesn't ask for help from Soochow, or if Lu Xun sees through Gu's plan, Gu will concentrate on planning to capture Wancheng.

Being able to capture Wancheng was a big victory for the Han Dynasty.

No matter what the situation is, Gu will take advantage of the situation and will not let the Han's interests suffer losses.

Once this is ensured, I have nothing to worry about."

After saying what he was thinking, Mi Yang was silent for a while, but then he said:

"Zhongrong is in Yong'an, and it is impossible for him to ignore death.

But refusing to save someone in the face of death is not the same thing as trying hard but failing to save someone."

These two sentences Mi Yang said were a bit heavy.

Zhang He also understood the meaning of Mi Yang's words.

In Mi Yang's view, no matter what countermeasures Cao Rui and Lu Xun took, he would have a way to ensure that the interests of the Han Dynasty were not damaged.

But among those methods, there is no doubt that rescuing Shi Bao was put last.

If everything develops according to the worst-case scenario, Mi Yang may still lead his army to support Shi Bao without hesitation in the end, but the result will be in vain.

But this can be regarded as fulfilling Mi Yang’s faith.

As for Shi Bao's life and death...

This is also the reason for Mi Yang's heavy tone.

But Mi Yang didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

He was first the Great Sima of the Han Dynasty, and first the auxiliary minister who was entrusted to Liu Bei when he was dying. He and Shi Bao were the kings and ministers after these two.

To seek benefits for the country as much as possible at the cost of one person's life and death, Mi Yang was willing to do such a thing, and he had even done it himself back then.

From the conversation with Shi Bao that night, it can be seen that Shi Bao was also willing.

"Shi Zhongrong has unparalleled tools" is never an absurd compliment.

And Mi Yang's choice made Zhang He feel a sense of déjà vu in Mi Yang.

Only at this moment did Zhang He vaguely understand why Liu Bei had many advisers and good generals under his command back then, but it was only after he met Fa Zheng that he truly became so powerful.

The reason is that Dharma is like Mi Yang. He himself believes in love and justice, but he never becomes pedantic about love and justice.

What you should do is what you should do, why bother with anything else?

This style of work is very similar to that of Emperor Wu back then.

Thinking of this, Zhang He looked at Mi Yang with other colors.

But Zhang He hid some of his thoughts very well. He now focused on one thing:

"When did Grand Sima think Lu Xun would make a move?

What is our army’s next move?”

Zhang He's question left Mi Yang without an accurate answer.

"Based on time, even if Cao Rui sent an envoy immediately after learning about Bowang's loss, the envoy might not have reached Jianye yet.

We don’t have to worry, when the news is sent to Sun Quan, he should be the one who is anxious.”

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Mi Yang couldn't tell when Lu Xun would make a move, based on his understanding of Sun Quan, he knew that Sun Quan would be hard-pressed to give up this opportunity.

Historically, Sun Quan really had a pathological possessiveness towards Jingzhou...

"As for how our army should act next.

Wasn't Cao Xiu always in Wancheng?

It seems that I have never seen him before, so let’s go and see him this time.”

Mi Yang's words sounded as relaxed as going to meet an old friend.

But when his words fell into Zhang He's ears, Zhang He's hair stood on end.

Da Sima, don’t you know that you are known as the “deer at the trough” in the world?

It sounds terrible.

...

Wancheng is not far from Bowang.

As Xia Houshang inferred, perhaps because the Han army blocked the road at the beginning, Cao Xiu was not able to notice the abnormality from the rear at the first time.

But as time goes by, even a pig can react.

Obviously, Cao Xiu is not a pig.

When the grain and grass that were supposed to be delivered in the past few days did not arrive on time, Cao Xiu became suspicious.

As he became suspicious, Cao Xiu naturally sent someone to investigate.

It would have been better if he didn't investigate, but when he did, Cao Xiu was almost furious.

Cao Xiu clearly remembered that he left three thousand elite soldiers in Bowang.
