Shu Chen

Sima Yi's way of saving himself was to change from the cautious step-by-step approach he had taken in the fight against Ni Shu to a very aggressive quick decision.

This is also the only way for him to quietly mix selfishness when making dispatches.

Because a more radical mutiny is impossible to succeed.

Don't look at him now in charge of the whole country, but his confidants have already lost too much, and his control over the soldiers is very weak.

For example, Qin Lang, who is really in charge of the [-] Luoyang Central Army, is fully sure that he and his confidantes will be killed on the spot when he shows any wrongdoing!

Not to mention, the prestige of Tak Mengda and Ping Liaodong in the past has dissipated with the defeats of these years.

In matters such as mutiny, not many people would dare to put their wealth and lives on him.

Moreover, even if he wanted to fight passively and put pressure on the emperor Cao Rui by raising his own self-respect, it would also not work.

At the beginning of the war against Shu against Wu, the ruling and opposition parties of the Wei State felt that the time for the decisive battle in Guanzhong had come, and they also questioned and criticized his practice of holding back the army for so long. Not long ago, Cao Rui sent someone to send a letter urging the war. Under such circumstances , he has no room to postpone the war.

Perhaps, before he deployed the technique of delay, all the ministries of Yongliang and the Central Army of Luoyang came to force the battle.

Therefore, taking advantage of the military power in this matter, it is the best approach to set the tactics of this battle as a quick battle.

Only a quick battle can make everyone willing to believe that he is still the important auxiliary minister who is dedicated to serving the public and is willing to die for Wei Guo without regret.

And no matter what the result of the battle is, he can make the emperor Cao Rui's suspicion melt away!
If he wins, he will be the greatest hero. Cao Rui will not let go of the grind and kill the donkey at this moment, and he can also take the opportunity to go to Luoyang to recuperate and give up his military power by taking the opportunity to go to Luoyang for recuperation due to his unbearable illness.

In this way, the princes of Gungun will be able to praise him for not loving power, and Cao Rui will only remember his achievements in expelling Nishu from Guanzhong, and will also expose the involvement of his second son Sima Zhao.

There is no need to worry that Cao Rui will not allow him to return to Luoyang.

Just like the exhaustion of Yizhou against Shu, the wars in recent years have also weakened the livelihood of the people of Wei.

Even if Guanzhong is decisively defeated, Wei Guo does not have enough war background to take advantage of the victory and go to retake the Longyou and Hexi Corridor; and when he is strong again, he may not be able to wait for that day.
After all, he is over sixty years old, and he is already old!

And if he was defeated, it would be at the price of his own life to leave a name of loyalty to his small clan for dying for the country, so that even if Cao Rui felt resentment in his heart, he would not be able to express it.

After all, Cao Rui is not a mediocre or faint king.

Absolutely will not instruct others to make things difficult for the heir of a minister who died in the country under the difficult situation when Ni Shu is still in the old capital!
Unless he really disregarded the safety of the country and wanted to arouse the common people to think that Wei State was not worthy of allegiance!
Yes, Sima Yi, who is in a place of suspicion, whose heirs have the right to be manipulated by the emperor, and who feels that he is suspected, has a will to die for the sake of his family's descendants.

Or in other words, this incident triggered his extreme mentality that had long been exhausted.

Repeated failures made him restless day and night, and overwork made his body deteriorate every day, so he suddenly felt very tired.

So no matter the outcome, he wanted to leave himself a reputation as a loyal minister and a family name that could extend the Ze family and clan.

As for his desire for a quick battle, will Ni Shu do what he wants~
No need to worry.

He Sima Yi is not Wei Wen, Cao Pi or Jiangdong Sun Quan. Once he decides to send troops, he must have a way to force the enemy to fight, and will not let things happen without fighting.

To be precise, it is not difficult for him to achieve the goal of saving everything.

It's just a matter of taking some risks.

In the previous military discussion and group strategy gathered by all the generals he gathered, he roughly deduced a very safe decisive battle tactic.

It is to leave [-] to [-] soldiers and horses to guard Zuo Fengyi and Jingzhao Chang'an, to ensure that all uncertain factors such as the transfer of food and fodder after the army is out, and that the soldiers will not be carefully incited to turmoil; County Qishan besieged the Wei Yanbu of Nishu, allowing Wei to maintain its military advantage.

And it can move from time to time.

If Nishu drives troops to rescue, he can surround the points to fight for help, and even take advantage of his superior force to send out several troops to attack his weak spots, and accumulate small victories to make big victories.

If he does not save against Shu, then he will take Yong County regardless of casualties!
The Nishu Wei Yan tribe only had more than [-] soldiers and horses, and the terrain in Guanzhong was flat and there was almost no danger to defend. If there were no reinforcements, the Luoyang Central Army would definitely be able to capture it.

Once Yong County is captured, Wei State can divide its troops into two groups.

All the way to the siege of Chencang, all the way to the north to sweep Longdong, threatening Xiaoguan and Gaoping City.

In this way, the situation when Chencang was besieged in the past was restored, and Nishu no longer had the strength of the past and did not have enough food and fodder to fight for a long time.

But this is the safest tactic, he is about to abandon it now.

In addition to the necessary garrison of more than [-] troops in each city, he will use all his [-] cavalry to attack Chencang City without hesitation!

Only such a tactic can force all the soldiers and horses that Ni Shu stayed in Guanzhong to come out and fight him decisively.

Whether it is Gaiyin's rebellion against Shu or Wei Guo, those who occupy Chen Cang can attack and defend.

Ni Shu will never sit back and watch Chen Cang make mistakes.

And the danger that such tactics have to bear is that Wei Guo will face an unbearable burden.

There is no need for the Wei army to be defeated, as long as the battle is not going well or the stalemate is stalemate and the veterans are exhausted, Wei will be pursued by Nishu when he has to retreat; , and then evolved into an imminent defeat, and the Guanzhong cannot be defended!

But he dismissed the situation.

And with sufficient reasons, he refuted the doubts raised by other generals on this tactic.

One, it is an opportunity that cannot be missed.

In the decisive battle in Guanzhong, Wei's biggest chance of winning is that Ni Shu used a lot of soldiers and horses to fight in the three eastern counties. If they plan it slowly, Ni Shu may have time to maneuver.

For example, abandoning the three eastern counties and dispatching troops to Guanzhong for rescue.

The second is to feed on the enemy.

In the past, when he had just succeeded the governor of Yongliang, he opened ditches and cultivated fields near Chencang City.Now that the autumn harvest is just around the corner, Wei's army rushed out like a thunderbolt, more or less able to snatch some food and fodder.

In the end, it is the grandeur of loyalty to the emperor.

He boldly claimed that if Wei Guo wanted to take back Guanzhong, this decisive battle was the only good opportunity!

It is also the moment for these soldiers who have been paid for many years and have been greatly favored by Wei Guolong to serve the monarch and show their loyalty. They should have the decisive heart of "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent"!

There is no retreat; there is only victory and no defeat.

He was deeply favored by the third king of Cao Wei, and he set an example and repaid his favor with death!

If you lose, you will die!
