I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 320 Master Sima didn’t dare to come
The news that Li Heng sent troops to attack Nanyang reached Xuchang a few days ago, causing great heated discussion for a while.

Nanyang County is adjacent to Yingchuan County, and Xuchang is located in Yingchuan County.

As soon as Nanyang County was defeated, the Han army's front line was directly at the gate of Xuchang.

For this reason, Xuchang's dignitaries have not slept a wink for several days.

Even after learning that Luoyang had sent reinforcements, celebrities in Xuchang still cursed the executioner from Xiangyang day and night!

Of course, they also scolded Sima Yi and his son.

Strongly condemn Sima Yi and his son as traitors who seized power, especially that Sima Shi. Even though he looked like a dog, he was actually so bad behind the scenes that a dog would cry for three days and three nights just by looking at it!
The bad guy opened the door for the bad guy, so bad!

For example, Li Jian is the executioner, then Master Sima is the butcher who massacred the Cao Shuang clan!
It was not until April 15th that the Sima Division's army arrived in Yuzhou and entered Yingchuan County.

Celebrities in Xuchang: The respected General Wei Sima Ziyuan led the elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty to Xudu, and rushed to the front line to protect the people of the Wei Dynasty. Such people with both ability and political integrity are truly the pillars of the country! As for the executioner from Xiangyang, he is just a clown. Under the wise leadership of our General Wei, the Sichuan dog will become a fan!
On April 16, Sima Division arrived in Xuchang. The first thing he did when he came to Xuchang was to clean up morale.

Several pessimists in Xuchang suggested to Sima Division to send another troop of troops from Yangzhou, but they were beheaded by Sima Division for disturbing the morale of the army.

On April 17, the scouts sent by Li Heng to Yingchuan County sent back the latest information: Sima Division had arrived in Xuchang and was preparing to sharpen his sword.

That night, the Han army began to withdraw quietly.

When Chen Tai went to the city tower to inspect, he saw the Han army barracks coming and going with torches as usual. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Li Jian is nothing more than that. I have delayed him until now. Let's see how you deal with it tomorrow!"

On the same day, Chen Tai also learned about the arrival of Sima Shi in Xuchang.

"Withdraw troops overnight!"

But Master Sima would not have thought that Li Heng had already been prepared to withdraw at any time.

"How about we use heavy artillery to hit him all day and all night!" Ma Yong said, "We have all come to Wancheng, we will feel unhappy if we don't hit him!"

"Shu Army...Shu Army..." General Liu Wen hesitated.

Early the next morning, Chen Tai was woken up.

In order to celebrate the arrival of the reinforcements, Chen Tai planned to have a drink in the evening.

"It's not necessary. Chen Tai doesn't know our purpose yet. If we use heavy artillery to stimulate him, it will be bad if he goes out of the city to fight us and delays us here. Withdraw!"

At the same time, Sima Division gathered another 30,000 troops in Xuchang, bringing the total strength to 60,000.

"General! General!"

Lu Zhi said: "Everything has been adjusted."

"Why panic!"

Sima Division did formulate a strategy: use highly mobile cavalry to quickly cut off Li Heng's retreat, and then use superior forces to encircle Li Heng. Then use the elite of the Chinese army to fight head-on and attack with cavalry. Finally, Chen Tai was ordered to wait for the opportunity.

According to Master Sima's plan, he will be able to enter Nanyang County tomorrow.

"How about entering?" Li Heng asked.

It can be said that Li Heng is locked up in Nanyang.

"What's going on?"

And with Sima Shi's character, the entire army must operate in an orderly manner, and has even formulated a series of strategies to kill Li Heng.

"The Shu army seems to have withdrawn."

"what?"

"There is no one in the Shu army camp."

"What did you say?" Chen Tai sat up instantly.

"There is no movement in the Shu army camp." Liu Wen said in another way.

"No movement?"

"Yes."

"What do you mean?" Chen Tai stood up instantly and couldn't help but said angrily. "The Shu army has withdrawn!"

Chen Tai immediately changed his clothes, ran towards the city tower, and looked towards the Shu army camp.

Although the camp was still there, it was obviously empty.

"Li Jian... ran away?"

Chen Tai immediately sent people out of the city to investigate, and finally confirmed the news that Li Heng had withdrawn his troops.

But soon, Chen Tai got another news: all the surrounding cities and villages were empty!
Even a chicken and a dog were dragged away!
At this time, Chen Taicai reacted: "Li Jian didn't even think about attacking Wancheng! He came to rob people!"

After coming to this conclusion, Chen Tai became angry again!
Then he quickly sent scouts to track down the Han army.

And sent someone to report the matter to Master Sima.

When Sima Division received the news that Li Heng had retreated, Li Heng had already retreated to Xinye.

"Li Jian ran away?" Even the usually calm and composed Master Sima was a little surprised.

Your mother broke through the ambition defense line in one day, and then went to Wancheng in a furious manner. But as soon as I arrived, he ran away?
Did that guy Chen Tai just let Li Jian withdraw his troops right under his nose?
Sima Zhao's reaction was different. After he learned the news, he felt so violent that he wanted to kill eight girls in one day.

"Is it possible that Li Jian, the great Wei, can come and leave whenever he wants! We should go to Xiangyang immediately and annihilate the Shu dogs in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, yes, yes! How can I, the Great Wei, be like a Shu dog who can come and leave whenever he wants!"

"General, we should go south immediately!"

"..."

Everyone said something to each other.

But Master Sima sat there and regained his composure.

Unlike the violent Sima Zhao and the excited soldiers, Sima Shi looked like a calm spring.

"Everyone, please step aside. I will write to the Grand Tutor and ask for his instructions before I speak."

"General, now is a rare opportunity!"

"Everyone, please step aside!"

Everyone had to retreat.

By the evening of that day, Li Heng had retreated to the border of Nanyang and Xiangyang.

"General, I heard that Master Sima is not an ordinary person. He showed amazing talents when he was young." Lu Zhi said, "I'm afraid he won't give up this time. He will definitely move his army south. We should be prepared!"

"Don't worry, Master Sima is very smart, so he won't go south." Li Heng drank the last glass of wine and said, "I'm going to sleep."

"Master Sima won't go south?"

"No, he will write to Sima Yi. Sima Yi has considered it carefully and will not fight us head-on."

"Why?"

"Sima Yi has just seized power, and several military and town generals have not yet surrendered to him. If he dares to go deep into Xiangyang, he must be prepared to fight us to the end." Li Heng said calmly and calmly, "If it is in Nanyang, we are leaving The supply lines are far apart, and the Sima Division can use cavalry to cut off our supplies, or even surround us, and then ambush and attack our reinforcements at any time."

"But if Sima Division arrives in Xiangyang, he will have to face the reinforcements we transferred from Jiangling. This risk is extremely high. Even if he wins in the end, it will be a tragic victory."

"At this time, the military strength of Sizhou and Yuzhou has plummeted. If there are people in the court who are dissatisfied with him and contact Yangzhou, Qingxu or even Youzhou, Sima Yi will definitely face huge internal pressure."

When Guan Guan heard this, he suddenly had an idea: "Using the general's theory of contradiction to summarize, the most important contradiction in front of Sima Yi is the internal contradiction, not with us?"

"That's right." Li Heng smiled, "Who knows if Wang Ling would stab Sima Yi when Sima Shi was attacking Xiangyang? Since we are seizing power, we must withstand the difficulties faced in seizing power. Sima Yi knows this better than us. "

"That's it." Lu Zhi said, "General, please rest early."

He, Guan Tong and Dong Hong walked out of the camp and breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Tong frowned and thought: "Fighting with the general is a bit too easy."
