Wei Ba was sure to break the city faster than Lu Xun, and he had his own confidence here. From the perspective of the city, Xiangyang was difficult to attack than Fancheng. Judging from the strength of the city, although Lu Xun had more troops, his military strength was far away.
It is far inferior to the Shu army. One rises and the other falls, and in terms of objective conditions alone, Wei Ba's chances of winning are much greater.
If we look at the mood of the generals of both sides, the Shu army is eager to fight, from Wu Yi and Meng Da to ordinary soldiers, all morale is high and they are determined to make contributions. However, the Wu army has been doubtful since Lu Xun and is determined to pick up the enemy.
It is cheap, it is conceivable that they cannot do their best from the beginning like the Shu army. In terms of subjective conditions, Wei Ba also has a greater chance of winning.
Therefore, Wei Ba said that before Sima Yi's reinforcements arrived, there was a great chance of capturing Fancheng. Even if the Wei cavalry arrived, they could retreat into the city and defend the city. Then, the navy would support him behind him and advance and retreat.
With ease, you can minimize the danger.
If Sima Yi cannot find a fighter opportunity in Fancheng, he will definitely find ways to resolve the siege of Xiangyang first. In this way, the ultimate goal is to be completed. Unless one of them is willing to give up on his own initiative, Sima Yi and Lu Xun will inevitably have a fierce battle. Xiangyang is like this
Wei State could not let go of the strategic location, and since Lu Xun arrived in Xiangyang, he probably wouldn't retreat. Wei Ba believed that the reason why Lu Xun arrived at the city was unlikely to be stimulated by him, but
Because Lu Xun himself really took this opportunity to win Xiangyang.
This was originally the starting point of this plan. Without this starting point, it would be impossible to mobilize Lu Xun, the ninja turtle.
Although the strategic plan is close to success, Wei Ba still dares not be careless. He knows very well what kind of opponent he is facing. Lu Xun and Sima Yi are the most outstanding generals in the last Three Kingdoms period, not to mention King Sun Quan of Wu and Emperor Wei.
Cao Rui is also far away. As long as you have any negligence, you may fail.
This is also the reason why he convinced Wu Yi to agree to give Meng Da more benefits to stimulate Meng Da to capture Fancheng as soon as possible. Only by entering the city can it be considered true safety.
...
Deng Saiwai, Wei army camp.
Sima Yi sat upright behind the desk, his eyes drooping, and his breathing was steady, just like an old monk entering a state of meditation. Sima Master sat opposite him, with a calm expression. On the desk between them, there was an emergency report that had just been opened.
The Wu army surrounded Xiangyang, and the Shu army was attacking Fancheng fiercely. The situation in the Xiangfan area was so urgent that it was beyond remarkable.
But there was no sign of anxiety on the father and son's faces.
The 30,000 army had been staying in front of the small Deng Sai for half a month. Even Deng Xian in Deng Sai was embarrassed. The Wei army also complained, but the father and son were still indifferent and at ease.
Sima Yi suddenly opened his eyes: "Order an attack!"
Sima Shi was stunned for a moment and raised his eyelids: "Don't wait?"
"No more waiting." Sima Yi seemed to have made up a determination, and his eyebrows suddenly became vivid. A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Since your Majesty hasn't given up for so long, I think he is very cautious about me. If you persist, I'm afraid it will instead
Not beautiful.”
Sima Shifen slightly: "But, in this situation, he doesn't rely on his father, who can he rely on? Could he be able to transfer Cao Zhen to come, or would he rather give up Jingxiang and retreat to Luoyang?"
"Ziyuan, you are not too young." Sima Yi glanced at his son: "You think that Cao is Cao Zhen. Cao Xiu can lead the army? If it weren't for those things back then, how could it be my turn to take charge of the army."
Sima Shi was stunned and his face changed drastically: "Father, are you talking about that... King Yongqiu?"
Sima Yi nodded: "I just received the news. Wang Jing of Yongqiu was very moved. He just wrote a letter asking for self-testing, which contained a heart-wrenching words. I was worried..." Sima Yi shook his head: "Does
At this time, it is better not to show off your strengths too much. My father and son should be more cautious."
Sima Shi changed color in shock, his eyes twitched involuntarily, and nodded silently. He knew his father's meaning very well. If he forced him too hard, His Majesty would turn to the Cao clan, especially the King of Yongqiu, who was afraid of being right.
It is very unfavorable for my father and son. After enduring for so many years, Cao Xiu finally died, and Cao Zhen is about to return to heaven. If other Cao family members are allowed to stand up, it will be more than worth the loss.
"What my father said is very much."
"Xiangyang city is strong, and even if Lu Xun has 50,000 people, it is difficult to conquer it in an urgent situation. First, defeat the Shu army and cut off one arm." Sima Yi stood up and walked slowly in the tent, analyzing while walking while analyzing.
Following the current situation, "Come that Ma Jun and ask Jin Dongliu to cooperate with him to find a way to cross the river as soon as possible. I guess the Jingqi will be very fast..."
Before Sima Yi finished speaking, someone outside the tent asked for a loud meeting. Sima Yi stopped the conversation and asked the man to come in.
"General, your Majesty's messenger is here."
"Oh?" Sima Yi and his son looked at each other, not daring to be negligent, so they quickly cleaned up and came out to greet them. When they saw the envoy, Sima Yi laughed and bowed, "George, why are you?"
Xinpi smiled and said, "Who does the general think it will be?"
Sima Yi smiled and shook his head, and invited Xinpi into the camp. After entering the tent, Xinpi issued an edict. It turned out that Emperor Cao Rui of Wei appointed Xinpi as the military advisor of the General of the Cavalry, and held the rituals and supervised the generals to rescue Fancheng and Xiangyang.
.
After paying the edict, Sima Yi looked nervous at all and smiled calmly: "What else does Your Majesty have to make?"
Xinpi looked at him and raised his lips slightly: "Your Majesty is about to fight in person. He has ordered General Fuyi Tian Yu to unify ten thousand elite cavalry from Xuchang, and ordered General Qin Lang to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to follow the army to conquer. I guess it will not be used.
In three days, these 20,000 cavalry will arrive. Your Majesty asks you to choose a good place to cross the water before this."
Sima Yi and Sima Shi exchanged a look, and they couldn't help but feel frightened. Xinpi was from Yingchuan and was incompatible with his close ministers around the emperor. He has been idle for many years and was suddenly appointed as the military advisor of the General of the Cavalry. It can be seen that the emperor met him.
The situation in front of us is urgent. But even in such a situation, the emperor would rather fight in person than hold 20,000 cavalry tightly in his hands. The meaning of guarding is very obvious.
Sima Yi smiled slightly: "It seems that Your Majesty is still not very relieved about us."
Xinpi breathed a sigh of relief, not answering Sima Yi's words. After a moment, he suddenly said inexplicably: "Changwen's eldest son Chen Tai has entered the official position and is the Minister of Sanqi next to His Majesty."
Sima Yi was stunned, and his hand stroking his beard stuck in the air for a moment. After a while, he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's methods are probably more than these, right?"
Xinpi stroked his beard and said lightly: "The King of Yan has entered the court, and the King of Yongqiu has just been moved to Dong'a."
Sima Yi nodded and said nothing. King Yan Cao Yu of the emperor has been playing with since childhood. He has a very good relationship and has always been favored. This does not mean anything. However, King Yongqiu Cao Zhi was transferred to Dong'a, which is a very dangerous thing.
The signal. If you join forces with Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun, who has been suppressed, the problem will be even more meaningful. Chen Tai's mother is Xun Yu's daughter. Because of Xun Yu's involvement, Chen Tai was nearly thirty years old and failed to join
When the official, he suddenly entered the officialdom, naturally the emperor wanted to win over Chen Qun to show his importance. The purpose is of course to cultivate strength within the aristocratic family and differentiate the unity of the aristocratic family.
He valued the royal family on one hand and won over aristocratic families on the other. The emperor's imperial skills were indeed brilliant, exactly the same as the martial emperor Cao Cao back then.
Sima Yi was secretly frightened and did not dare to be careless anymore. He immediately ordered Jin Dongliu and Ma Jun to prepare a floating bridge so that the cavalry led by Tian Yu and Qin Lang could cross the Han River after they arrived. Ma Jun witnessed the attack of the Shu army with his own eyes.
The battle at the floating bridge gave him further insights into the obstacles he designed. There may be some problems used to deal with the Shu army, but it is not difficult to deal with the Wu army naval forces.
While preparing for the floating bridge, Sima Yi ordered a forced attack on Deng Sai. The Wei army changed the fatigue of the previous few days and rushed towards Deng Sai like a tide. One wave after another made Deng Sai not even take a breath, and he was injured and killed.
It increased rapidly. While attacking from the front, Sima Yi also sent people to climb the hills on both sides and shoot condescendingly.
In just half a day, Deng Xian broke the enemy. Deng Xian, with more than 300 remaining soldiers, withdrew from Deng Xian in a panic and hid in the mountains. Sima Yi did not pursue him and directed the army to quickly pass through Deng Xian and attack Fancheng.
On a hidden mountain two or three hundred steps away, Ma Su and Wei Feng stood on a tree, looking at Deng Sai who was flying arrows and shouting to kill him. They watched Deng Xian defeated by Sima Yi and Wei Jun.
He passed through the city and rushed towards Fancheng. Wei Feng was preparing to fight out several times, but he was stopped by Ma Su.
Ma Su said one sentence from beginning to end: "It's not time yet."
Wei Feng finally became anxious: "When will it be the time?"
"When a valuable goal appears," Ma Su said: "Ziyu handed over the strongest soldiers to you, so that you can take on the most difficult tasks and achieve the greatest contribution, rather than guarding Dengsai and harassing Sima Yi's army.
Simple thing.”
"But just let them go to Fancheng like this, how could Ziyu fight Fancheng?"
"If Ziyu is not even prepared for this, will he dare to come and fight Fancheng?" Ma Su glanced at Wei Feng, jumped down the tree, and walked forward with great strides. Wei Feng hurriedly followed and asked in confusion: "Young, young, young, young, and a few more people."
Mr. Chang, there are only more than 20,000 people around Ziyu now, and Sima Yi has nearly 30,000 people. They may not win head-on battles. How can they still take action to attack Fancheng?"
Ma Su suddenly stopped and looked at Wei Feng in surprise: "Zirou, by this time, you will use such a simple way to measure the strength of both sides by comparing the number of people? You don't know where Ziyu's strengths are?"
Wei Feng blinked in confusion: "Of course I know that although Zi Yu's martial arts are not very good, his brain is very good."
"That's right." Ma Su continued to walk forward: "Ziyu's talent in machinery can help him exert the strength of more than 20,000 people. How could he stop it if he was just Fancheng, not Xiangyang, not Xiangyang.
Have to hold him."
"That's true. How could Fancheng stop my brother?" Wei Feng was relieved. While strode to Ma Su, he asked enthusiastically: "Then what are we doing now?"
"Wait." Ma Su replied neatly.
