Jiang Wei's return gave Mi Yang confidence, but he did not immediately order the fire attack.

Because Mi Yang has a bigger plan in mind.

With the violent flammability of oil, it is easy to burn down the catapults of the Wei army.

But this does not mean that Mi Yang can defeat the Wei army.

In Mi Yang's most famous battles in the past, fire attack was his best method of defeating the enemy, and everyone knows this.

What's more, where are Mi Yang's old rivals, the generals of the Wei army?

Knowing that Mi Yang was good at fire attacks, it was impossible for Cao Zhang, a famous general, not to prevent this in advance.

At least Cao Zhang would not let the Han army's archers easily get within shooting range of the Wei army's camp.

But without bows and arrows as carriers, how could the oil cause harm to the Wei army camp?

In fact, some classics record that in ancient times, some famous generals began to use oil in fire attacks.

However, due to the weakness of ancient science and technology, the application of oil by the ancients was very rough. For example, during the Battle of Gushan, Ma Chao used direct throwing.

Even though Mi Yang is a time traveler, in the context of an era with weak technological power, the ways he can use oil are quite limited.

Even though the catapult can be destroyed by the fire caused by oil, as long as the Wei army in the Wei army's camp is not defeated, it is actually just nonsense to talk about reversing the situation of the war.

At worst, the Wei army will be unable to leave camp from now on.

Once the Wei army did this, it meant that the street pavilion was still in danger all the time.

It is even more impossible for Mi Yang to rashly lead the Han army to withdraw and go to other battlefields to make achievements.

Therefore, in order to achieve his goal of reversing the situation of the war, Mi Yang must make other plans.

Mi Yang had already thought of such a plan in her mind long before Jiang Wei came back.

After letting Jiang Wei have a good rest for a day, Mi Yang came to Jiang Wei's tent on the second day.

Jiang Wei was quite surprised to see Mi Yang's sudden arrival.

The surprise in his heart and some injuries on his body prevented Jiang Wei from getting up to pay homage to Mi Yang immediately.

Not only Jiang Wei was surprised by Mi Yang's sudden arrival, but Jiang's mother was also caught off guard.

But as a female, Mother Jiang was able to prop up the huge lintel of the Jiang family in more than ten years, which means that Mother Jiang's eyesight is not bad at least.

Jiang's mother saw that Mi Yang was dressed in rich brocade clothes and looked noble, walking freely in the military camp.

Thinking that Mi Yang's age was similar to that of a legendary figure in the current army, a guess arose in Jiang's mother's mind.

So almost at the same time, Jiang Wei, who had just returned from reaction, and Jiang's mother bowed down to Mi Yang.

Jiang Wei's reaction was as expected by Mi Yang, but Mi Yang was a little surprised that Jiang's mother could guess his identity.

But he didn't think much about it and accepted Jiang Wei and Jiang's mother's salute with a smile.

After paying homage to Mi Yang, Jiang Wei knew that Mi Yang's sudden arrival must have something important to tell him, so he motioned to Jiang's mother with his eyes, asking her to stay out of the way for the time being.

Mother and son are connected. Jiang Wei's eyes indicate that Jiang's mother naturally understands.

While Jiang's mother was avoiding him, Mi Yang also waved his hand to disperse the soldiers who entered the tent with him.

But Mi Yang left only one person wearing a cloak.

Because the man wore a cloak and deliberately concealed his appearance, Jiang Wei did not recognize the man's identity at first.

But when the man took off his cloak, Jiang Wei, who saw the man's identity clearly, couldn't help but reveal an even bigger look in his eyes.

The person in front of me is clearly Man Chong.

From the way Man Chong stood respectfully behind Mi Yang, it can be seen that Man Chong must have surrendered to Mi Yang.

Of course, the strange color in Jiang Wei's eyes was not only due to surprise, but also due to some strange emotions.

The last time they looked at each other lovingly was on the battlefield...

In fact, not only Jiang Wei had a strange look in his eyes after seeing Man Chong, but also Man Chong.

After all, he suddenly faced the person who had captured him alive, especially when he recalled his rebellious attitude when Jiang Wei captured him alive, Man Chong inevitably felt a little ashamed.

The contrast between the rebelliousness at that time and the obedience and obedience now is really quite big.

Mi Yang noticed the strange looks in Jiang Wei and Man Chong's eyes when they looked at each other, but he didn't care.

Mi Yang, who is called a scholar but is actually a descendant, sometimes really doesn't understand the weird ideas among the scholars of the time.

Mi Yang, who didn't care, raised his hand to signal Man Chong and Jiang Wei to sit across from each other, and then Mi Yang sat between them.

After sitting down, Mi Yang immediately asked Jiang Weidao: "Bo Yue wrote to Gu at the beginning, saying that Duke Jiang had been kind to the county magistrate of Lueyang County?"

When Jiang Wei first arrived at Jieting, he followed Ding Feng and others to climb up and inspect the topography of Jieting.

Although Jiang Wei did not predict Wei Jun's actions as accurately as Deng Ai that day, Jiang Wei, who was silent at that time, had an idea slowly forming in his mind.

That idea originated from something Jiang's mother once mentioned to Jiang Wei: Jiang Wei's biological father, Jiang Jiong, once promoted Xie Qian, the county magistrate of Lueyang County.

Although Lueyang County (Jiequan County) often changes its county due to its special geographical location, most of the time Lueyang County is still under the jurisdiction of Tianshui County.

Jiang Ji, who had served as the meritorious officer of Tianshui County for many years, would be grateful for Xie Qian's promotion. This is really normal.

The idea that Jiang Wei had in his mind that day was also very simple - he wanted to take advantage of Jiang Ji's promotion to Lueyang County Magistrate Xie Qian to instigate Xie Qian.

As for why Jiang Wei wanted to rebel against Xie Qian?

The reason is that the geographical location of Lueyang County has a great influence on the current war situation.

Jieting is located in a canyon between two mountains. This terrain made it difficult for the Wei army to transport food and grass.

To transport the food and fodder of the Wei army from Chang'an to the Wei army camp in Jieting, they must pass through the steep Longshan Avenue.

Since Longshan Avenue is a mountain road, of course it has an entrance, and this entrance is located in Lueyang County.

Even if we don't mention this entrance, after the Wei army's grain transport team entered Anding County, there was a long grain road that passed through Lueyang County.

After all, the street pavilion was originally just a pavilion in Lueyang County.

After knowing this information, any qualified general can make an immediate judgment - Lueyang County is the vital heartland of Jieting Wei Army.

Lueyang County is the heart of Jieting Wei Army, so the importance of Xie Qian, who is in charge of Lueyang County, is self-evident.

Once they can successfully instigate Xie Qian, the Wei army in the street pavilion will be cut off by the Han army.

Although Jiang Wei had this idea in his mind, there were still many difficulties in implementing it.

So he specifically wrote his idea in a letter that day and sent it to Mi Yang for him to decide whether to implement it or not.

Mi Yang, who knew Jiang Wei's strategy, naturally knew the relationship between Jiang Jiong and Xie Qian.

Now he asked Jiang Wei again. In fact, he was asking in disguise how deep the promotion relationship between Jiang Jiong and Xie Qian was.

The grace of promotion may be a joke in the eyes of future generations.

But for the scholars during the Three Kingdoms period, the favor of promotion was extremely important to them.

During the more than 400 years of the Han Dynasty, some examples of scholars who sacrificed their lives for the favor of promotion are well-known to every household.

But people's hearts are unpredictable after all. Who knows whether Xie Qian is an ungrateful person?

If he wants to successfully instigate Xie Qian, Jiang Jiong's kindness in promoting Xie Qian is undoubtedly a very important bargaining chip.

How effective this bargaining chip can be depends on Jiang Wei's immediate answer.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Wei cupped his hands and replied to Mi Yang: "When my father died for his country, Wei was still young.

Seeing that Wei was young, some tribesmen wanted to appropriate the family property left by their father.

There were many high-ranking officials with two thousand stones among those tribesmen, but Wei remembered that when faced with the power of those high-ranking and powerful people, Uncle Xie was willing to speak up for Wei.

If I had not thanked my uncle for protecting me back then, I am afraid Wei would not have been able to grow up safely."

It is true that the family fortune left by Jiang Ji to Jiang Wei can be maintained, and Jiang's mother played the most important role in it.

But Jiang's mother was, after all, a nameless and hopeless prostitute, and she alone could not keep the Jiang family's huge family fortune.

In this process, the interpersonal relationships Jiang Ji left behind during his lifetime helped Jiang's mother a lot.

Xie Qian was one of the few people back then who was willing to protect Jiang's mother and son.

After saying this, Jiang Wei continued:

"Over the years, Chen's mother and Uncle Xie have also maintained contact.

According to the judgment of my minister and my mother, Uncle Xie is not an ungrateful person."

Jiang Wei thanked his uncle one by one, showing his trust in Xie Qian.

Jiang Wei's words made Mi Yang fall into deep thought.

If Xie Qian is not an ungrateful person, then he can indeed give this thing a try.

What Jiang Wei said next made Mi Yang give up thinking.

Jiang Wei continued: "My father's promotion of Uncle Xie back then was more of a sympathy between good friends.

Uncle Xie’s real successor was the late Mr. Yang.
