Chapter 725: Rain Attacks Bowang Public Security Dispatches Troops
Seeing that Zhang He was willing to take on the important task he had given him, Mi Yang took a command arrow from the table and handed it to him.
“A surprise attack on Bowang is no small matter. Even if you are familiar with the surrounding terrain, you still need strong soldiers and capable generals to assist you.
With this command arrow, you can go to the army and select the soldiers and officers that satisfy you.
If you have any other requests, feel free to ask.”
Since it has been decided to appoint Zhang He as the general, Mi Yang must give Zhang He his greatest support.
After listening to Mi Yang's words, Zhang He showed a moved look on his face.
He bowed quickly and said, "The Grand Marshal is thoughtful and considerate. He has no other request."
Zhang He's answer made Mi Yang nod in satisfaction.
Mi Yang then said, "Then go down and prepare first."
After hearing Mi Yang's words, Zhang He should have retreated immediately.
But when Zhang He saw that there was no one around, he still asked the biggest question in his mind.
"Did the Grand Marshal have the idea of using Zhongrong to paralyze Cao Xiu in Yong'an?"
When Zhang He expressed the biggest question in his mind, he instantly felt extremely refreshed.
As a surrendered general, he should have known how to avoid suspicion and control his curiosity.
But Zhang He was also a general who was obsessed with military tactics!
At first glance, his question might seem unimportant, but it is not.
In Zhang He's view, Mi Yang's decision to send Shi Bao to Yong'an was already a brilliant move.
Because Mi Yang had foreseen the situation in advance, he knew that Lu Xun might join forces with Cao Xiu to attack him.
Anticipating the enemy's moves and considering Mi Yang's past achievements, Zhang He was not surprised that he could do this.
But after listening to Mi Yang's words today, Zhang He had a frightening idea in his mind.
Everyone thought that Mi Yang sent Shi Bao to Yong'an in order to appease Han Zong and buy time to repel Cao Xiu.
But what if this was not Mi Yang’s original purpose?
Perhaps Mi Yang's target from the beginning was Cao Xiu!
Shi Bao was a fog he cast on Lu Xun, Cao Xiu and the people of the world.
If so
Zhang He looked at Mi Yang with more and more awe.
With his own integrity, he attracted heroes from all over the world to unconsciously join in the chess game he set up.
Such means and such spirit are truly amazing!
Too smart and almost like a demon.
Somehow, this evaluation slowly emerged in Zhang He's mind.
At the beginning, Mi Yang was a little confused when faced with Zhang He's questions.
Later, after seeing Zhang He's face becoming more and more awed, Mi Yang gradually guessed what Zhang He was thinking at the moment.
After guessing it, Mi Yang couldn't help but find it interesting.
Mi Yang did not directly answer Zhang He's question. He just leaned forward slightly, stared into Zhang He's eyes and said:
"What do you think?"
Mi Yang's eyes were deep, and the smile on his face was even more meaningful.
Mi Yang's reaction startled Zhang He so much that he quickly withdrew his gaze and no longer dared to look at Mi Yang.
Sometimes, not giving a direct answer is the best answer.
Zhang He realized that he had discovered the truth and hurriedly said goodbye to Mi Yang.
He was originally a tall and strong man, but his figure was full of panic when he left.
After Zhang He left, Jiang Ji, who was guarding outside the tent, entered the tent and came in front of Mi Yang.
"Da Sima, everything has been arranged."
As Mi Yang's new confidant, Jiang Ji naturally knew Mi Yang's arrangements for Zhang He today.
He had advised Mi Yang on this matter before.
In Jiang Ji's opinion, there are good generals in the Han army, so there is no need to choose a surrendered general like Zhang He.
However, Mi Yang did not accept his opinion because he had his own considerations.
But it is impossible for Mi Yang to not take any precautions at all.
Although he gave Zhang He the power to select his own soldiers and generals.
But the scope that Zhang He could choose had already been defined by Jiang Ji invisibly.
In this way, even if Zhang He had any ulterior motives, it would not delay Mi Yang's plan.
In response to Jiang Ji's report, Mi Yang nodded lightly.
Seeing that Mi Yang seemed to be in a good mood, Jiang Ji could not suppress his curiosity and asked Mi Yang tentatively:
"Was Grand Marshal's target Cao Xiu from the beginning?"
Any intelligent person would have such questions in his mind after learning of Mi Yang's plan.
When Mi Yang saw that Jiang Ji asked similar questions to Zhang He, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Zi Tong already has the answer in his mind, so why bother asking this question?"
After leaving these affirmative words, Mi Yang turned and went into the inner tent.
Jiang Ji was so shocked by Mi Yang's words that his heart was pounding.
It turns out that war can be fought this way!
After leaving the tent, Zhang He immediately began to deploy troops.
Zhang He's emotional intelligence is certainly good, as he was able to change his job several times and still do well.
He knew that Mi Yang had given him a great deal of autonomy, but he must not get carried away by it.
For some arrangements, he would take the initiative to make them for Mi Yang to see.
With this in mind, Zhang He quickly selected the generals to go on the expedition.
The three generals Zhang Yi, Zhou Tai and Liu Yin are must-haves.
When Zhang He selected his soldiers, he only decided on the number of soldiers.
As for choosing which soldiers to lead, he handed the right to Zhang Yi naturally on the grounds that he was "not familiar with the organization of the Tiance Army."
Zhang Yi was not polite either.
Although he was still immersed in Mi Yang's bold plan, he was always loyal to his duties and quickly selected 10,000 elite soldiers for Zhang He.
After Zhang Yi's report, Zhang He learned that the 10,000 Tian Ce troops were ready for the expedition and quickly set the date for the expedition.
Tomorrow!
A day passes in a flash.
When Zhang Yi, who was ready to go to war, got up from the couch early and looked at the dark sky outside, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
The weather has been so changeable lately.
It was sunny in Xinye yesterday, but unexpectedly there are signs of heavy rain today.
Xinye is a hundred miles away from Bowang. If they set out today as planned, they would probably encounter heavy rain on the way.
This will have a huge impact on the Han army's march.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi hurried to Zhang He's military tent.
After meeting Zhang He, Zhang Yi suggested:
"It may rain heavily today, so I hope the general will march another day."
Zhang Yi's suggestion is based on common sense.
Zhang Yi also didn't think that Zhang He would reject his suggestion.
But what surprised Zhang Yi was that Zhang He, who had just gotten up, showed an excited look on his face after hearing his words.
Zhang He first ran to the window and observed the weather carefully.
Seeing that the weather was just as Zhang Yi had said, Zhang He quickly turned to Zhang Yi and said:
“God really helps me!
Our army’s march cannot be postponed, it must be today.”
Zhang He's words surprised Zhang Yi, and made him unable to help but advise:
"If it rains heavily, our army will have a hard time marching and morale will be low. What can we do?"
Zhang Yi thought that his words would make Zhang He change his mind.
But Zhang He didn't.
Zhang He said with a gleam in his eyes:
"The key to a surprise attack is to catch the enemy off guard."
"The Wei army has been complacent recently, and if heavy rain falls again, their defenses will be further relaxed.
They would never have expected that our army would brave the heavy rain and march hundreds of miles to launch a surprise attack.
Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to achieve one's own goals is exactly why the famous generals of the past became famous."
Zhang He's tone was firm.
Among the five best generals at that time, he was famous for his military skills.
What Zhang He said made sense, but Zhang Yi was also a person who insisted on his own opinions.
"General."
Zhang Yi wanted to persuade him again, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang He's action.
Zhang He took out the command arrow that Mi Yang had given him yesterday from his arms.
"Here is the Grand Marshal's order, you just need to follow it!"
Perhaps in other aspects, Zhang He would take into account human relationships and worldly wisdom.
But in specific military matters, Zhang He could not tolerate others challenging his authority.
If a general does not even have the courage to make decisions, he will surely be a mediocre person all his life.
Obviously, Zhang He does not fall into this category.
Seeing Zhang He directly took out Mi Yang's command arrow, although Zhang Yi wanted to persuade him again, he had no choice but to accept Zhang He's order.
Zhang Yi did not even think about asking for a meeting with Mi Yang to inform him of Zhang He's "arrogance".
Because Zhang He was the commander-in-chief appointed by Mi Yang himself, if he did so, it would be tantamount to challenging Mi Yang's authority.
Zhang Yi had no choice but to quickly gather 10,000 Tiance troops under Zhang He's order.
When the 10,000 Tian Ce Army received the order to assemble, many of them were surprised.
They also shared Zhang Yi's concerns.
Fortunately, those who were incorporated into the Tian Ce Army were all elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty who had experienced many battles.
The four words "obey orders" have long been deeply engraved in their bones.
In the spacious parade ground, Zhang He looked at the tens of thousands of brave soldiers who had just gathered in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but become excited.
He thought that after surrendering, he would never be able to get involved in military power again in his life.
He didn't expect Mi Yang to trust him so much.
In order not to disappoint Mi Yang's trust and thus lose the opportunity to curry favor with the powerful, Zhang He was determined to fight this battle well.
Without much hesitation, Zhang He, adhering to the idea that speed is of the essence in war, directly ordered the entire army to set off.
Under Zhang He's command, tens of thousands of Tian Ce troops turned in an orderly manner and headed out of the military camp.
What Zhang He didn't know was that on another high platform in the military camp, Mi Yang was watching his expedition with a good friend.
"Tanzhi, does this scene seem familiar to you?"
The parade ground, the Han army, the confident march to the battlefield, and the good friend standing beside him, how could Guan Ping be unfamiliar with such a scene?
“Come to think of it, it’s been several years since the Public Security War.
It really seems like yesterday.”
Guan Ping uttered these words with a look of nostalgia.
Hearing Guan Ping's tone full of emotion, Mi Yang turned around and glanced at his good friend with a full beard on his face.
Haven't seen you for several years.
"Tanzhi, you age so fast."
Guan Ping was immersed in his memories when he suddenly heard these words of disgust. He was so angry that he rolled his eyes at Mi Yang beside him.
"Yes, yes, how can I have the demeanor of a Grand Marshal?
I am not as selfless as the Grand Marshal, and I have not come to Jingzhou to see my good friend in the past few years. "
Mi Yang felt that Guan Ping was hinting at him.
Someone is implying something about the Great Sima of the Han Dynasty!
But facing Guan Ping's connotation, Mi Yang was quite happy.
When he was in the public security department, he and Guan Ping depended on each other for survival, and they had seen each other at their most embarrassing moments.
Such a friendship cannot be eliminated by the difference in age or status.
"Before that, I was indeed busy"
Mi Yang explained weakly.
In order to prevent Guan Ping from continuing to pay attention to this matter, Mi Yang changed the subject and said:
"If Zhang He doesn't go out to fight today, I will have to consider changing the commander."
Mi Yang's words made Guan Ping look thoughtful.
He did not doubt Mi Yang's words.
Because he knew that if Mi Yang was in Zhang He's position, his performance would probably be even more excited.
But Guan Ping knew better that Mi Yang would not say such a thing to him for no reason.
"Whatever the Grand Marshal wants, please feel free to tell me."
Guan Ping thought for a while and then said this.
Mi Yang was surprised to see that Guan Ping could guess his intention.
"It is true that when a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes."
Mi Yang's words almost made Guan Ping choke.
Why didn't this sentence sound like a good thing to him?
Although he is not as smart as some wise men, he is not stupid either!
Seeing that Guan Ping seemed a little unhappy, Mi Yang gave up the idea of joking.
His face gradually became serious as he said, "I called you here this time because I have something to tell you.
I will let Wei Yan return to Gong'an secretly with you this time.
When you return to Gong'an, you will need to transfer the Gong'an soldiers to Xinye."
When Mi Yang said this, Guan Ping couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Gong'an is an important town for defending against Wu's army. How can we rashly withdraw troops?"
"Look at you, you're anxious again."
"I don't mean for you to really transfer troops, but I mean for you to let the Dongwu spies of the Public Security Bureau think that you are constantly withdrawing troops from the Public Security Bureau."
After hearing Mi Yang's explanation, Guan Ping calmed down first.
But then he blurted out:
"why!"
Guan Ping's question, coupled with his familiar, stupid yet clear eyes, made Mi Yang find it quite funny.
He just praised him.
Unexpectedly, after several years, he still likes to ask why.
But even after several years, Mi Yang still likes to help Guan Ping solve his problems.
“After the news of Cao Wei and Sun Wu joining forces to send troops spread, many ministers advised me to secretly recall Shi Bao and abandon Yong’an.
Given our army's current strength, fighting on two fronts is disadvantageous."
Hearing what Mi Yang said, Guan Ping nodded in agreement.
He thought so too.
After all, although there are many Han troops in Jingzhou now, they are not enough to face the pressure from the two countries.
After seeing Guan Ping's agreement, Mi Yang smiled and said:
“I’m not unaware of their concerns.
But does our army have to face the military power of the two countries head-on?
In my opinion, the alliance between Cao Wei and Sun Wu seems strong, but in fact it has too many loopholes. "
Hearing Mi Yang say this, Guan Ping's curiosity was successfully aroused.
"What does Da Sima mean?"
"Look at you, you're anxious again."
"Just follow my orders. It won't be long before I show you how I crush the enemy's so-called alliance."
When Mi Yang said this, there was a different look in his eyes.
Guan Ping had once seen this kind of spirit in Mi Yang.
On that day, Sun Quan's gilded military flag was raised outside the city of Gong'an.
That day, Mi Yang made and passed on a promise to him.
This kind of expression made Guan Ping's breathing quicken.
Zisheng, are you finally going to show off your skills in front of me again?
