"Your Majesty...Saintly!" Sima Yi couldn't stand up, and his exquisite and gorgeous helmet was placed aside, revealing his meticulous hair and his hairpin was inserted properly. Sima Yi was nearly fifty years old, but not much in his hair.
Gray-haired, looking like a forty-year-old.
Looking at Sima Yi's humble figure, Cao Rui's eyes tightened for a moment, and then turned into calm. He sat on the couch unmoved, looking at Fancheng in the distance, letting Sima Yi kneel there, and not asking him to get up.
Everything seems so natural.
Cao Yu, who was attending the service, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then curled his smile. Liu Ye looked at the scene indifferently, but Sun Zi lowered his head. In front of Cao Rui's emperor's power, he was not as strong as Liu Ye.
To keep calm.
"Speaking of this, you have fought with Wei Ba many times, what do you have?"
Cao Rui's calm voice was like a knife and a sword, piercing people's hearts. Sima Yi was lying on the ground, unable to see his face. However, a hint of disappointment flashed through Cao Yu's eyes. Cao Rui's words hurt Sima Yi's self-esteem, but
From another perspective, this means asking Sima Yi to continue to command the troops, otherwise why ask him or just defame him directly.
"I... have some experience, I dare to ask Your Majesty for the Holy Tribunal."
Cao Rui looked slightly. Although Sima Yi didn't see it, he seemed to feel it. He slowly raised his head and his eyes met Cao Rui. He was very calm, not ashamed or nervous as he looked a little excited.
Cao Rui snorted: "What are your experiences?"
"In the Battle of Fangling, Wei Ba led the Wu army into the frontier, so I felt that he was good at leveraging the situation. This time, the Wu army attacked Xiangyang was just a re-use of the same trick, which was not surprising." Sima Yi said slowly without any haste:
"I attacked Guanzhong against Shu and urgently needed rest and rest. I was afraid that Sun Quan would attack Yong'an, so I provoked trouble in Xiangyang to resolve the danger of Guanzhong and Yong'an. This is another way to take advantage of the situation." Sima Yi paused and said, "However,
The situation that I borrowed this time is much bigger than last time. It can be seen that after more than a year of experience, this man has broadened his horizons and will become a strong enemy of our Great Wei in the future."
Cao Rui twisted his hand in his sleeve and didn't say anything.
Sima Yi continued: "It is rare to have this vision and this scheming, but it is not worth fearing. Our great Wei talents emerge in many ways, and Your Majesty is the only one who is in heaven. In front of Your Majesty, Wei Ba's wisdom is like a firefly to the bright moon, but
Just succeed for a while.”
Cao He's eyes twitched, his eyes a little cold.
"However, Wei Ba has his own uniqueness, which is enough to make us alert." Sima Yi changed his mind and bowed: "Your Majesty, after the navy was destroyed, I am puzzled, but a few days ago, there was a Fancheng in a few days.
In the war, I was almost shot by a piercing cloud and was shocked and suddenly realized."
"Oh, what did you realize?" Cao Rui's eyes slowly turned, and his eyes shifted from Fancheng to Sima Yi's face.
"Wei Ba's use of troops is to win by surprise." Sima Yi said word by word: "His wonder does not refer to his magic in using troops, but to his mechanical skills, which allows him to do things that others cannot do."
He bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, although this place is a thousand steps away from Fancheng, I am asking Your Majesty to be careful for your safety."
Cao Rui frowned slightly, pondering silently. However, Liu Ye opened his half-closed eyes, slapped the corners of his mouth, and said with a slight joking smile: "General Cavalry, do you mean, you
Defeat is not a defeat, but a reason why Wei Ba has a powerful weapon?"
Sima Yi bowed and bowed: "Please teach me Ziyang."
Liu Ye was stunned, opened his mouth, said nothing, and closed it tightly. It was not that he could not tell Sima Yi's faults, but that those faults were a little nitpicking. Telling them in front of the emperor was like a mess. In fact, it was fine.
Thinking about it, although Sima Yi was defeated, his tactics had no obvious flaws. If the sharp arrows that penetrated the clouds attacked his command platform and directly destroyed his central system, how could he be defeated?
According to common sense, although Sima Yi's losses will be great, there is no big doubt about resolving the siege of Fancheng.
Sima Yi's failure was an accident that no one could predict. At this moment, if Wei Ba could shoot an arrow several miles away and hit the emperor Cao Rui, the Wei army would undoubtedly collapse. Who would have predicted such a thing
?If it is impossible to hit a single arrow a thousand steps away, but before Sima Yi was attacked, who would have thought that the enemy could destroy his own command platform in one fell swoop? A powerful crossbow with a range of three or four hundred steps is not lacking.
, but no one has ever seen a powerful crossbow that can move quickly on the battlefield and maintain such accuracy.
This kind of thing has never happened before. Sima Yi was the first to run into it, and it was reasonable to lose. However, we cannot say that there is anything wrong with Sima Yi's tactics. He may be a little risky, but he is not wrong. He can only say that
He is not lucky.
For example, Cao Rui is now shot to death by Wei Ba with an arrow thousands of steps away. That can only be said that Cao Rui is not lucky, but he cannot blame him for not standing here.
From the powerful crossbow three or four hundred steps away, and when thinking about the Shu army defeating the more tower ships, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel chill. Whether it is the tower ship or the strong crossbow, Wei Ba's mechanical skills were indeed his always defeating the enemy.
The most important thing is that no one knows how many such weapons he has in his hands.
Unknown things are most likely to cause fear. When facing an opponent you don’t know at all, who can guarantee that you will win?
Liu Ye was silent, and Cao Rui was silent. He thought more than Liu Ye. He now felt that the sketch of the armored ship sent back by Xiahou Hui was a trap. Wei Ba used the technology of this armored ship to occupy the advantage of the navy.
, and used the manpower and material resources of Wei to increase pressure on Wu, killing two birds with one stone. At present, the most advanced building ship is in the hands of Wei Ba, and even Wu has to give in to the slander to avoid conflicts with him. And Wei.
The reason why Ba was able to gain an advantage in a short period of time was because he captured eight tower ships from the Wei State.
The capture of eight tower ships with one tower ship relies on Wei Ba's mechanical technology. As long as this technology is still in the hands of Wei Ba, the navy of Wei and Wu countries cannot ignore his existence, even in terms of quantity.
Having an advantage may not guarantee victory.
This sense of uncertainty has a great psychological intimidation on people and its impact on morale cannot be ignored.
Cao Rui let go of his hand and stroked his sleeves to soothe his anxiety. Guanzhong was lost, and the battle situation in Xiangyang was not going smoothly again. This year's spring plowing was greatly affected. The food levy will inevitably be tight in the coming year. The situation in the Great Wei Dynasty became more and more serious day by day.
, This made him anxious, but he couldn't show it on his face.
"Then what good ideas do you have for the current situation?"
Sima Yi bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Shu army attacked not to seize Xiangfan, but to create opportunities for the Wu army. I think the Shu people would not be willing to do this, but to solve the dangers of Guanzhong and Yong'an, due to the situation,
This is the only way. The people of Wu would not have thought of this. It was just that Xiangyang was the key to the Central Plains, and they had to fight. For the same reason, even though we know the evil intentions of the Shu people, we can only do our best."
Cao Rui sighed softly. Sima Yi's words hit his heart. Guanzhong is important, Xiangyang is even more important. Guanzhong is lost, and the Great Wei feels like a broken arm, but if Xiangyang is lost, it will be a confidant of the Great Wei.
Luoyang will face the attack from Wu and Shu directly. For security reasons, it is necessary to move the capital to avoid its attack. Once that step is reached, the people's hearts will inevitably be shaken.
This is a situation that Cao Rui didn't want to see, so he had to do his best to ensure the safety of Xiangyang. Knowing that Shu Kingdom had bad intentions and knowing that Wu Kingdom was taking advantage of the situation, he could not give in.
"What can you do if you do this?" Cao Rui's eyes slowly swept across the faces of Liu Ye, Sima Yi and others, and his voice was obviously a little tired.
Sima Yi turned his eyes to Liu Ye, who frowned and looked at Sima Yi for a moment. Sima Yi bowed his hand, and Liu Ye laughed and shook his head. Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Xiangyang and Fancheng, Xiangyang is the most important thing,
The Wu army and the Shu army are the most important. If the Wu army defeated and defended Xiangyang, the Shu army retreated and Fancheng would naturally be lost and regained. If our army and the Shu army were entangled, not to mention the unexpected actions of Wei Ba, what would happen if it delayed.
Time, Xiangyang is lost and will regret it."
Cao Rui's eyes flashed: "You mean..."
Sima Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that you use one unit to restrain the Shu army, break into the south of Han with the main force, and defeat the Wu army first."
Cao Rui pondered: "All the navy lost, how can we cross the Han River?"
"Your Majesty, although our army does not have a navy, it is still possible to build a floating bridge. In order to protect the floating bridge, Ma Jun once designed an underwater obstacle. The Shu army attacked for two days before clearing the obstacles.
The Wu army was powerless to do anything about this obstacle and is still on the east side of the pontoon bridge. If our army set up another obstacle east of Xiangyang, it would be enough to ensure that the army passes through the pontoon bridge."
Cao Rui pondered for a while and didn't speak. The Wu army now has 50,000 people, and 30,000 people on the road. If one cannot be defeated before they meet, the situation in Xiangyang will inevitably become very dangerous. But if the main force is put
When you reach south of the Han River, you will also risk being cut off by the Wu army.
This is the last main force that Da Wei can mobilize at present. If there are any mistakes, the trouble will be great.
...
On Fancheng, a thousand steps away, Wei Ba narrowed his eyes and stared at the podium in the distance. It was too far away, and he could only see a small black dot, which looked very conspicuous in the Wei army's camp.
However, he did not know that Cao Rui and his ministers were discussing countermeasures, and he was worried about the next battle.
There are still five or six thousand people in the city. Although the morale is very high, after the hard battle, the soldiers' physical strength has dropped very strongly. Now they have to face enemies that are ten times more than themselves. The possibility of defending Fancheng is very small, and this
He was not willing to do the things he wanted to get the Wu army. How to lead the war to the Wu army is the most understood result.
Wei Ba thought for a long time and turned to Meng Da: "General Meng, can you lend me Hu Zhi's head?"
Meng Da was stunned for a moment and laughed: "What are you saying to borrow? That was the credit of your brother. Can I still compete with him for the credit? But, what do you want Hu Zhi's head to do?"
"It's almost like Cao Rui." Wei Ba smiled badly: "General, you know." (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
