Ma Yi was none other than Sima Yi, Zhongda of Sima Bada who went to Xiangyang to assassinate Long Fei. The assassination failed, and several younger brothers were either killed or captured, and were basically dealt with by Long Fei.
.Only this Sima Yi escaped from death. First, he evaded patrols and pursuit soldiers in the toilet, then killed a hundred people and escaped from Xiangyang disguised as a common people.
That was when Yizhou was still in the hands of Liu Zhang. Liu Bei was fighting with Xu Huang in Yiling. In order to avoid Long Fei's pursuit, Sima Yi sneaked through Yiling and entered Yizhou. He first went to Mount Emei to visit the four elders of Jingshan. Everyone agreed that Yizhou was impregnable and could not be
Sima Yi needed to intervene. Sima Yi smiled and said nothing, and left Yizhou to make a detour to Chang'an and meet in Hanoi to look for opportunities again and take revenge.
Who would have expected that he would fall seriously ill in Hanzhong. If Yan Xing hadn't saved his life when he saw Sima Yi's extraordinary conversation, Sima Yi might have died in Hanzhong long ago. One was to repay Yan Xing's life-saving grace, and the other was because of his keen sense of
, Long Fei will never let Liu Bei grow stronger and ignore it. Sooner or later, Yizhou will fight, and the victory or defeat can be imagined. If Yizhou soldiers are not good enough to fight against Long Fei, then the only Xiliang cavalry will be there.
After arriving in Xiliang, Sima Yi lied that his name was Ma Yi and stayed with Yan Xing to advise him. In order to dispel Han Sui's suspicion of Yan Xing, Sima Yi asked Yan Xing to visit Han Sui's daughter. In order to establish Yan Xing's reputation as a leader, Sima Yi
With the prestige in the army, Sima Yi persuaded Yan Xing to rectify the military discipline and make rewards and punishments clear. More than half a year after arriving in Xiliang, with the support of Sima Yi, Yan Xing gradually emerged and had a vague tendency to surpass the eight generals.
Hearing the word "war", some people were excited and some were worried. The candidate was one of the eight generals under Han Sui. He was loyal to Han Sui and deeply trusted by Han Sui. As soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, the candidate stood up and said
: "War? Why war? Long Fei's 60,000 soldiers and horses defeated Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops. Zhuge Liang, known as Wolong, ended up with hatred. Although we have more soldiers and horses than Liu Bei, our soldiers are exhausted after years of fighting, and they are not as good as Zhuge Liang's.
Zhimo, can you do it?"
The candidate's words brought out the sentiments of most people, and Han Sui also felt that it made sense, and turned to look at Sima Yi. Sima Yi said: "Generals, it is not a good thing to be timid before fighting! If you decide to fight, I have a way to make Long Fei
There’s no coming back!”
No one said anything, but Sima Yi continued: "Xiliang is in a remote place, a bitter cold place. The food and grass needed by Long Fei's army to go deep must be transferred from Hanzhong. We can strengthen the walls and clear the country, and send a small group of troops to attack the food after going deep there."
Said, "In addition, there are Qiang people in the west of Xiliang, Huns in the east, and Xianbei people in the north. I will send a eloquent person to Yecheng. As long as Cao Cao agrees to respond from afar, we will attack from all five directions, regardless of Long Fei."
No matter how many people come, he will never come back!"
"Good! It's really a good plan!" Han Sui was overjoyed and said to Yan Xing: "My good son-in-law has such a hero around him, why didn't he bring him to meet his father as soon as possible? From today on, Mr. Ma will be the military advisor. Please remember this!"
"No!" Everyone stood up quickly.
Han Sui stepped up preparations, and Long Fei was not idle either. After taking Hanzhong, Long Fei came to Hanzhong from Shangyong in person, firstly to appease Ma Chao, and secondly to see the situation in Xiliang. After winning,
Hanzhong was just the beginning. Back then, Zhuge Liang set out from Hanzhong to attack Cao Wei many times but all failed. Now he has to plan carefully whether he can go out.
There are two roads starting from Hanzhong. One goes east through Yangpingguan and enters the land of Sanfu, where is Chang'an. The other goes west and passes through Qinchuan and enters Xiliang. However, since ancient times, Chang'an has been a land of four fortresses.
The pass completely blocked the road, and Xia Houyuan personally commanded tens of thousands of troops stationed in Chang'an to defend Long Fei from advancing eastward. It was impossible to go east, and the west was even more difficult. Yinping, Qishan, and Wudu were all among the high mountains.
It only takes a small number of troops to stop your tens of thousands of troops. Not to mention the bitter cold in Xiliang, the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes.
Long Fei looked at the map: "This battle is not a good thing! Xiliang is not easy to fight, and it is difficult to transport food and grass. There is Xia Houyuan behind him, and he will never come back if he is not careful."
Zhang Rendao: "I have a plan. Do you want to comment?"
"Speak!" Long Fei's military meetings are always informal, and he can speak freely if he has anything to say. Zhang Rendao: "Since we have a hard time attacking, why not provoke a conflict between Cao Cao and Han Sui and let them fight first, so we can take advantage of the opportunity to strike."
better?"
"Yeah!" Long Fei sat upright and said, "That's a good idea! Keep talking!"
Zhang Ren continued: "When the king attacked Liu Bei, Han Sui was worried that Cao Cao would take advantage of the opportunity to attack Liangzhou, so he sent his son-in-law Yan Xing to Yecheng and left his two sons as hostages in Yecheng..."
When it comes to this, how could Long Fei not be smart enough to understand, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "Well, this is also a way. Is there any other plan that can provoke a war between Han Sui and Cao Cao?"
Chen Da said: "We can let our soldiers disguise themselves as Han Sui's army and attack Chang'an, and then disguise themselves as Cao's army to attack Tianshui, luring them out of the city to fight. As long as they fight once, they will definitely not give up."
"Well! Very good, is there anything else?"
Ma Chao and others were new arrivals and were a little uncomfortable seeing such discussions. Gradually, he understood why Long Fei's subordinates were loyal to Long Fei. It was because of Long Fei's atmosphere that he treated these subordinates like brothers. In this way
In fact, there is an advantage to doing it. Everyone can brainstorm ideas, which can not only bring out the talents of counselors, but also mobilize the enthusiasm of generals.
Just when Ma Chao was stunned, Long Fei suddenly called Ma Chao's name: "General Ma, you have been in Xiliang for a long time, is there any other way to force Han Sui out?"
Ma Chao didn't hear it at all. Chen Dao pushed him and quickly came to his senses. He stammered and didn't ask what he was talking about. Dian Wei chuckled and said, "Let's discuss things here, and this kid actually fell asleep."
!" Everyone burst into laughter, making Ma Chao quite uncomfortable.
Guo Jia waved his hand: "Don't be impatient. General Ma must have a clever plan. Let's eavesdrop on what General Ma has to say!"
Ma Chao took a deep breath: "Everyone knows that Xiliang is bitterly cold, but it produces high-quality horses. Han Sui has an army of hundreds of thousands, half of which are cavalry. He can be regarded as the prince with the most cavalry in the world! The power of Xiliang's cavalry, you should
You know, Dong Zhuo was able to enter Luoyang with only three days of iron cavalry, which shows how powerful he is!" Ma Chao said and glanced at everyone. Everyone listened seriously, even Dian Wei had a solemn expression.
Ma Chao smiled: "However, Xiliang has been in turmoil for many years. Counting from Beigong Boyu, it has been almost twenty years. In these twenty years, Xiliang has been in great turmoil. The separatist forces have attacked each other. In order to obtain the greatest strength, they have forcibly conquered the common people.
, some villages and towns don’t even have one person. Life in Xiliang is not easy, but natural disasters make it impossible for the people to survive!”
Speaking of his sadness, Ma Chao sighed softly: "It was because I couldn't bear it anymore that I led my troops to attack Hanzhong. Han Sui took the opportunity to annex the territory and expanded his army to one hundred thousand. The daily cost of one hundred thousand soldiers was huge, even if he would
It took only a few months for the entire Xiliang food supply to be taken out. In order to solve the livelihood problem, Han Sui started business with the surrounding princes. The Qiang and Huns were short of salt, so he sold salt from the Central Plains! There was a shortage of horses in the Central Plains, so he started selling salt from the Central Plains.
Xianbei sells horses! The Xianbei people are short of iron, and they sell it from the Qiang people! They go back and forth between the three houses to earn money, and then they come to buy grain from Hanzhong and Yizhou! If the king blocks the Hanzhong border, no one is allowed to sell grain.
After people came and went, I sent a small team to Xiliang to sneak attack Han Sui's transport team. Within half a year, Han Sui destroyed himself!"
Who says Ma Chao is brave and foolhardy? In history, Ma Chao once killed the so-called military strategist Cao Cao until he cut off his beard and discarded his robes. He almost died. This shows that Ma Chao is a handsome man. Long Fei, Guo Jia and others listened carefully to Ma Chao.
They all nodded their heads in their analysis and summary. They also had some knowledge of these situations, and Ma Chao's final words were more convincing.
"In this case, General Ma will be fully responsible for this matter, and Chen Dao will assist!" Long Fei threw the command arrow to Ma Chao: "One year, I want to see the results after one year!"
Ma Chao didn't expect that Long Fei would ask him to do this. After all, he was only a surrendered general and had just surrendered. With such a big matter entrusted to him, he was not afraid of running away. After thinking about it, he was not afraid, Chen Dao was
Eyeliner, not to mention having the obligation of my own sister.
In addition to Ma Chao, Long Fei asked Xian Yufu to lead the shadow army deep into Xiliang to see the opportunity. After following what Chen Dao said, he asked Meng Shuo to pretend to be Han Sui's army and attack Chang'an. After arranging all this, Long Fei called Wei Yan in alone. Wei Yan was
After being captured, he lived in Xiangyang for a while and had several long talks with Chen Dao and Meng Shuo, the traitors of Hei Bing, and completely lost confidence in Hei Bing. When he came to Hanzhong this time, Wei Yan took the initiative to ask for help for Long Fei.
Long Fei looked at Wei Yan: "Chang Wen, I'm going to give you a troop of troops, are you willing to lead them?"
Wei Yan sighed and shook his head: "No, your Majesty loves Wei Yan very much, but Wei Yan is not a leader in war. He is more like a rooster and a dog thief!"
Long Fei smiled and said: "The editor is being humble. The rooster and the dog thief saved Mengchang Jun's life! There are two letters here, one for you and one for my master Wang Yue. You can take the two letters and pick them up. First,
I will read your letter after meeting my master, and just follow it!"
Wei Yan raised his head and looked at Long Fei: "What can I ask my lord?"
Long Fei smiled: "I heard that Wen Chang was the best assassin during the Black Ice Period. He was favored by Lord Pang De and was taught by an expert. I don't want Wen Chang's ability to go to waste. From now on, Wen Chang
It’s my shadow, a shadow that doesn’t actually exist, do you understand?”
Wei Yan looked at Long Fei and murmured in his heart: Is Long Fei the same as Hei Bing? He denied this idea as soon as it came out. He understood that there is no right or wrong in this world, only victory and failure. As far as Long Fei is concerned, he
The possibility of victory is greater. In that case, what's the difference in being a shadow? At least this Long Fei is pretty good to his brothers.
Wei Yan quickly knelt down and said, "I will obey your orders!"
