Yuyi led Huang Shumin, Xiaoli, Xu Da and others to the bank of Xiangjiang River. Since it was the first time to lead the army to carry out a large-scale battle, Yuyi learned from Kong Ming to take steady steps and set up camp on the shore near Xiangyang City.
Everyone discussed. Everyone had their own opinions. Huang Shumin and Xiaoli advocated crossing the river directly and attacking Fancheng quickly. While the opponent's defense had not yet formed, they took down Fancheng. Xu Da believed that the provoy should be sent to see first, without ambushing them.
, crossing the river again, at this moment, a sudden Shu army came to report that the Northern Expedition Army and the troops led by Sima Yi were in stalemate in Qishan. The Wei lord Cao Rui led the army to Hefei to resist the Wu army in person, and had already rescued Zhuge Jin's troops.
.
Yu Yi was very surprised after hearing this and thought to himself that Zhuge Jin was Zhuge Liang's brother, and he had no choice but to compare with Zhuge Liang. Unexpectedly, he was defeated before he even started. Then he asked, "What about Lu Xun, our reinforcements."
Have you kept up?"
Reply: "Lu Xun took some of his troops and horses to pretend to go up the Xiangjiang River and prepare to go to Xiangyang City to meet us, but the troops were halfway through and all retreated."
After hearing this, Yu Yi was furious and slapped the table and said, "This Eastern Wu Lu Xun must be resentful of my occupation of Jingzhou and refused to attack the Central Plains together. Now that the Eastern Wu withdraws troops, our position is very embarrassing.
Fortunately, I arranged 100,000 troops in Jingzhou and some capable generals in Jingzhou, which should be able to withstand the attack of the Eastern Wu."
Huang Shumin bowed and said, "That's true, we should move forward bravely and take down Fancheng as soon as possible!"
Yu Yi nodded and was about to order the army to start crossing the river. At this time, the soldiers came to report that it was the Wei general Liu Shao, Tian Yu and the elite troops of Wei had already supported to Fancheng, and Cao Rui stationed troops in Hefei to observe the Eastern Wu.
The prefect, soon, will come to Fancheng to support him.
When the 100,000 army faced the 400,000 army, Yu Yi was not sure yet, so he said to Xiaoli: "Take people to see what's happening across the street." Xiaoli was ordered to leave.
Yu Yi turned around and said to everyone: "It is very easy for us to take down Fancheng now, but we attack further into the depths of the Central Plains, and we are prone to being attacked from both sides and cannot defend it, so it is not very meaningful."
At this moment, the ancient book was shaking. Yu Yi knew that it was Kong Ming who came to the video, so he quickly announced the end of the meeting and opened Kong Ming's video alone.
In the video, Kong Ming looked a little haggard and a little old. Yu Yi comforted him: "The Prime Minister should pay attention to eating and resting. Although the matter of the Northern Expedition is important, the body is also important!"
Kong Ming was very moved after hearing this and replied: "I feel ashamed. I was plotted by Sima Yi before and lost more than 10,000 troops. I did not tell Your Majesty in time, and I am guilty!"
Yu Yi shook his head and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and the Prime Minister does not need to blame himself too much."
Kong Ming felt relieved and said some recent achievements. When Yu Yi heard that the wooden bull and horse were put into use and made great contributions, he couldn't help but think of Lei Chunze, his eyes were a little wet, and he sighed: "If it were our craftsman Lei Chun."
Ze Zai may invent some powerful weapons of war, so there will be greater guarantees to recover the Central Plains!"
Kong Ming nodded and said, "The Wei army also imitated and made some things, but they only knew how to imitate and did not know the elite. We had more than a thousand more wooden bulls, cows, and food from the Wei army."
Yu Yi smiled and said, "Yes, you have a clever idea, I'm afraid there are few opponents in this world." After that, Yu Yi told Zhuge Liang about the war between Jingzhou and Hefei. Kong Ming first heard that Sun Quan appointed Zhuge Jin to lead troops to Hefei.
, I had some expectations, when I heard that Cao Rui defeated him directly, I seemed very disappointed. Later, I heard that Lu Xun pretended to support Xiangyang, but in order to attack the east and west, all retreated, and seemed very angry, and said angrily: "I will destroy Jiangdong sooner or later
Lose!"
Yu Yi said: "Now I have set aside 100,000 troops in Jingzhou and led 100,000 troops to cross the river to attack Fancheng. But now after the Eastern Wu retreated, the Wei army led 400,000 troops and forcibly occupied Fancheng. It is also a
Lonely city.”
Kong Ming thought for a moment and said, "I sent troops from Qishan and included all the groups in Longxi into Western Shu, with Luoyang as the center. Then the Northern Expedition can gain a foothold outside the mountain. Similarly, Your Majesty leads the soldiers out of Jingzhou, and Luoyang should also be used.
If we are centered and form a closed loop, then we will be half successful.”
After hearing this, Yu Yi opened the ancient book and looked at the map. Seeing that the semicircle was Fancheng, Anzhong, Nanyang, Wancheng Hangu Pass, Yongning, etc., he immediately understood Kong Ming's meaning.
After chatting about planning again, the two hung up the video.
Yu Yi took out the ancient book and found that in this semicircle, some cities could be taken down first. In the past, Meng Da rebelled, and the new city was raided by Sima Yi. It has been in the hands of the Wei army and seems out of place on the territory. Kong Ming has proposed it many times.
Before the Northern Expedition, the Shangyong, Xincheng and Nanxiangdu were all taken down to prepare for the attack on the Central Plains, but the Northern Expedition continued to stalemate with Sima Yi, and there was no chance. This time, the enemy was ready to attack Fancheng, so it was possible
Consider saving the country in a curve.
So Yuyi called everyone to have a meeting again. At this moment, Xiaoli also came back, reporting: "Five thousand soldiers and horses of the Wei army were stationed in Fancheng, and the generals led by Zhao Huang, Liu Shao, and Tian Yu each brought 50,000 soldiers and horses.
, camped on the east and west sides of Fancheng, forming a junction with Fancheng. In this situation, even if you cross the river, you may not be able to get a good advantage. Even if you have difficulty taking Fancheng, you may not be able to defend it."
Everyone fell into depression, and Yu Yi smiled and said, "Of course I have a way."
So Xiaoli brought five thousand soldiers across the river overnight, and Xu Da brought five thousand soldiers to the back and slowly approached Fancheng.
After receiving the order, Zhao Huang, the prefect of Fancheng, sent heavy troops to guard the city wall, with archers arranged on it, and other soldiers were waiting for the call. When he heard that the Shu army had crossed the river and set up a camp in Fancheng ten miles, he laughed and said
: "The Shu army is overestimating its abilities. I was about to go to the Xiangjiang River to collect their bodies, but I didn't expect that they would come to the door on their own initiative." After saying that, he continued to ask, "How many people have come from the other party, who is the person coming?"
Reply: "The general led by less than 10,000 people is Xiaoli."
Zhao Huang asked: "Is it the woman with excellent training in Xiangyang City?"
He replied: "That's right, Guanzhao was the concubine of the new emperor. Later, he was obsessed with martial arts and trained soldiers in Xiangyang City for a long time. His martial arts were unfathomable!"
Zhao Huang smiled and said, "How powerful can a woman be? Since she came to the door on her own initiative, I will definitely capture her alive and take her as my concubine. I will humiliate the new emperor in Shu." After saying that, everyone was very big.
Smile.
In Xincheng, after Meng Da was defeated and died, "Shen Dan" and "Shen Yi" became the local kings, fishing and local people. When Yu Yi led his troops to attack from Xiangyang City, the two also felt the pressure.
