I saw Mi Heng taking out a roll of things from his arms with a proud look on his face, placing it on the lacquer table, and slowly unfolding it.
Wang Zheng took a closer look and saw mountains and rivers, dotted with cities, and even marked the landform features, the direction of the rivers, and the distribution of official roads.
Not only is it extremely detailed, but it is even more valuable because it is clear at a glance. It makes Wang Zheng feel like he has returned to the days of the Celestial Dynasty and looked at a Gaode map.
He was surprised and delighted. He glanced at Mi Heng and said, "This...could it be a map of the entire territory of Pengcheng?"
Mi Heng nodded and said: "All the geography of Pengcheng is here!"
At this time, everyone gathered around, and they were all speechless when they saw such an exquisite map.
After Yu Jin saw them, he was speechless in comparison.
Although he still felt resentful towards Mi Heng, he had to admit that compared to the map he submitted, Mi Heng's map was indeed much more detailed and accurate.
But, where did this kind of map and this madness come from?
It’s no wonder that Jin has such doubts.
You must know that the map he submitted not only came from the county government warehouse in Kaiyang, but also carefully compared seven or eight versions to select the one with the latest age and relatively complete information, which can be regarded as his best effort.
And Mi Heng... is just a scholar, and has no official position, so where does his ability come from...
Did it come from some famous family?
Just at this moment Wang Zheng asked for him:
"Sir, where did you get this map?"
When Wang Zheng asked, Mi Heng didn't put on any airs, he just said calmly:
"After Heng came to Xuzhou, he often read the local chronicles of the counties and counties in his spare time. After searching for things according to the map, he was able to return to the map and find some experienced businessmen to ask. I think there will be no mistakes."
"Return to the picture..." Wang Zheng was startled and said in surprise: "Did you draw it yourself?"
Seeing Mi Heng nodding in recognition, Xu Fang looked at the map and said with admiration: "This map is so detailed, it shows that Mr. Mi is very attentive and has really put all his efforts into it."
"How is that possible?" Mi Heng snorted and waved his hands to deny:
"It's just a matter of a day or two. If you have to talk about a mere map and put all your energy into it, wouldn't you be no different from a foolish scholar and a mediocre person?"
Do you know how to speak human language...
Wang Zheng on the side watched him continue to spread hatred, his eyelids twitching.
Xu Fang was startled when he heard such a response, but the next moment he smiled, not at all annoyed:
"What you said is absolutely true. I look at it like a frog in a well, and I falsely say that Beiming is huge."
Xu Fang is becoming more and more magnanimous.
Secretly satisfied with this small performance, Wang Zheng coughed dryly: "Sir, let's get back to the topic."
Mi Heng nodded and pointed his finger at the upper right corner of the picture: "Everyone, please look, this is Kaiyang!"
Then he pointed to the lower left: "This is Pengcheng!"
Everyone looked around and saw that as shown in the picture, there were more than a dozen cities lying in the middle between the two cities.
"General." Mi Heng said: "If you want your troops to be quick and quick and take the shortest route, you can take this route."
"After passing through the four cities of Zengguo, Lanling, Wuyuan and Lu County, we can approach the city with troops."
Wang Zheng was silent and thoughtful.
Xu Fang, who was on the side, frowned and said, "If we capture them one by one along the way, maybe the news will leak out and Pengcheng will be more vigilant?"
"Although we have never seen Pengcheng with our own eyes, if we can't take such an important pass by surprise and attack it unprepared, it will probably take a lot of effort to capture it, right?"
"You are right." Mi Heng nodded:
"Pengcheng is a place of hundreds of battles, and there are beacon towers in the surrounding cities. If things were fine in the past, vigilance may not be enough."
"It's just that Cao Cao has just attacked Xuzhou, and the news of the general's capture of Langya has now spread throughout Xuzhou. If we march directly from Kaiyang, no matter which route we take, once we approach Pengcheng Kingdom, the news of the invasion of the army will definitely leak out!"
You've even prepared a map. With your arrogant temperament, you must have already made plans.
Wang Zheng asked directly: "What about Mr. Yi's opinion?"
"In Heng's opinion, if you want to attack Pengcheng, you might as well follow the strategy of the past overlords!" Mi Heng answered with his hands raised.
Overlord’s plan?
This word surprised Wang Zheng greatly.
Isn't Xiang Yu a representative figure of the Mangfu style?
A Pengcheng and a Xiang Yu naturally reminded Wang Zheng of that extremely famous battle in which a small number defeated a large number, the Battle of Pengcheng.
But as a novice in history, he only knew about the exaggerated bravery of Xiang Yu and his soldiers in this battle, but he did not know that the other party also used tricks...
Although he was full of questions, his face was calm and he just motioned for Mi Heng to continue talking.
Mi Heng said: "In the past, Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony. After King Xiang killed the Yi Emperor Xiong Xin, Emperor Gao used Zhang Liang's plan to trick King Xiang into attacking Qi. He summoned the princes in Luoyang to attack Chu together!"
"Before entering the Western Chu land, we first attacked Longqie from the north, and Xiang Tuo and other Chu troops won a great victory. Then we marched all the way south, taking Dang County, Xiao County, and finally Pengcheng."
"Afterwards, Emperor Gao went to Pengcheng to hold a wine party." Mi Heng pointed his finger at the outside of the map, indicating the distance:
"It was April of the second year of Han Dynasty, and King Xiang was still in Qi State at that time."
Mi Heng's voice is clear and clear. If you don't say some harsh words, it is actually very pleasant.
As he narrated the story of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, even Wang Zheng, a time-traveler who knew the general story, did not feel impatient because it went too far off topic, and the others listened with great interest.
"Then what?" the impatient Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Then..." At this time, even Mi Heng had some admiration in his eyes:
"When the capital fell, King Xiang not only did not send back his entire army for reinforcements, but instead allowed most of the main force to stay in Qi while he led 30,000 elite troops to Pengcheng."
"At this time, there are approximately more than 500,000 Han troops in Pengcheng."
"And in the end, it was King Xiang who won."
Looking around at everyone, Mi Heng asked: "Why is this?"
"Of course it's Xiang Yu who is so powerful that he can conquer the world."
Before anyone else could speak, Wu Sheng was the first to speak.
Fortunately, a literate sentence could still come out of his mouth, which shows Xiang Yu's reputation among the Han people.
"No." Mi Heng shook his head and said seriously: "I think King Xiang's victory was mainly based on strategy."
This statement is quite new.
Not only Wu Sheng and others looked at each other in shock, but even Wang Zheng, a later generation, was also a little surprised.
Mi Heng explained: "In fact, the so-called 560,000 Han troops were not all gathered in Pengcheng from the beginning. Instead, they were stationed in various cities around it, forming a complete line of defense."
"For example, Fan Kuai led the army in Liucheng, north of Pengcheng, in Xue County."
"Lu Ze is stationed in Dang County..."
"So, there are actually not many real Han troops in Pengcheng."
"Therefore, the essential purpose of King Xiang's attack on Pengcheng is to..."
"Beheading operation!" Upon hearing this, Xu Fang and Yu Jin blurted out at the same time.
"That's right." Mi Heng nodded in agreement: "And in the end, King Xiang's strategy was almost completely successful!"
"Thirty thousand Chu soldiers bypassed all the defense lines built by the coalition forces on all sides of Pengcheng, and their movements were concealed. It was not until the outskirts of Pengcheng, in the early morning, that they launched a surprise attack that no one expected!"
"First directly attack Pengcheng, completely disrupting Emperor Gao's deployment, and then take advantage of the situation when the army is in chaos and strangle!"
"However, by midday, the allied forces of the princes had been defeated across the board."
"Therefore, Heng believes that King Xiang's victory in the battle of Pengcheng lies in strategy."
"How was this beheading operation accomplished?" Wang Zheng asked the key point.
"General, this is the attack route chosen by King Xiang!" Mi Heng said seriously: "King Xiang did not choose the straight line from Qi to Pengcheng, but instead took a detour to Huling and arrived at Xiao County in the west of Pengcheng.
Finally, from Xiao County to the back of Pengcheng, they attacked Pengcheng and defeated the Chu coalition forces."
This is a sneak attack from behind.
Looking at Mi Heng repeatedly pointing on the map, Wang Zheng understood. He pondered for a long time and said: "Now that the world has changed, how can our heavenly army get to Xiao County?"
"First take Zeng State, then detour to Xue County, enter Pei County, and then go to Xiao County."
After looking at the ink marks outside the four cities, Wang Zhengruo realized something: "These four cities are not governed by Xuzhou?"
"That's right." Mi Heng nodded: "They are all cities in Yuzhou."
They are not under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou and are not in the same camp. The exchange of information with each other is not frequent and fast.
Wang Zheng nodded and suddenly said: "Xiang Yu was first bullied by Zhang Liang and then stabbed in the back by Liu Bang. He must have been furious that day."
Without waiting for an answer, Mi Heng murmured to himself: "Under such circumstances, he was still calm and composed, and made an extremely correct strategic deployment and counterattack strategy."
"In the past, Han Xin said that Xiang Yu only had the courage of an ordinary man, which was really unfair."
He looked around at everyone, especially Wu Sheng, and warned: "As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, this is what you should do!"
When everyone responded in awe, he had already slapped the case and stood up.
Seeing the coach standing up, naturally no one dared to sit still. For a moment, countless figures stood up at the same time, standing proudly, listening to the king's orders.
It was late at night and almost midnight.
Everything was silent, only one person's sonorous voice echoed in the night.
"Pengcheng is a majestic gate in the world. With the bravery of an overlord, even the troops are marching in danger, and they win by surprise. Our heavenly army cannot underestimate the enemy."
"We go out to fight, and we fight to win. If we can win, we will sacrifice the near and seek the far, so why not?"
"Early tomorrow morning, I will send a message to the three armies that the drills will be suspended. Three days later, at nightfall, they will all set off to attack the country of Zang!"
"Here!"
Countless voices rang out, suddenly filling the soft spring night with a layer of fighting spirit.
