Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 437 Surround!

When Zhang Fei heard Liu Bei calling him "third brother", he knew that his elder brother wanted to tell him something from the bottom of his heart.

I immediately understood that Liu Bei meant there was only one chance!
He immediately looked serious and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I have made a note of this matter. We will succeed in one go. We must not delay the opportunity."

Liu Bei said: "Sima Yi's army is in Chang'an, so Tongguan will definitely not have a strong garrison."

"However, how to avoid Sima Yi's eyes is also something that needs to be carefully considered."

Xing Daorong suggested: "We can attack Chang'an again, and when the army is in chaos, have General Zhang Fei take a small road and go to Weinan."

"Even if Sima Yi reacts, he won't be able to move if we attack the city again and again."

Seeing that Xing Daorong had considered every aspect, Liu Bei stared at the Chang'an City on the map.

There is a look of determination in their eyes!

After a long while, he finally slapped the map and said, "Let's do this. I will trap Cao's army in Chang'an City!"

When everyone saw Liu Bei making a plan, their expressions changed. They didn't think any more and only focused on defeating the enemy.

Human heart
Liu Bei is the last person to worry about.

After the matter was settled, Liu Bei sent Ma Chao to Gaoling and Zhang Fei to Weinan and Tongguan, and then attacked Chang'an again.

...

"General Sima, Liu Bei is right in front of our Chang'an City. We just defend the city like this, is that okay?"

While Liu Bei was discussing the matter heatedly, Sima Yi was not idle either.

However, compared with the relatively harmonious atmosphere on Liu Bei's side, the situation on Sima Yi's side was a little different.

After entering the big tent, Cao Hong took the lead and raised the doubts in his heart.

Of course, this attack was not without reason. Cao Hong also knew that Sima Yi was Cao Pi's confidant, so he couldn't be too harsh on the surface.

What I have mentioned now is at most some opinions.

Sima Yi still looked indifferent, but said: "Liu Bei is so aggressive, so we should avoid him for the time being."

"After a while, if we can't take the city, their morale will naturally drop. Why worry?"

"So what's wrong with using a little force to respond to a big trend?"

Sima Yi said a lot of reasons, then looked at Cao Hong with a playful look and said, "General Cao, do you think there is something wrong?"

this.
Cao Hong's ability is limited.

When Sima Yi asked him this question, he really didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a long while, he stammered, "I just feel very passive."

Sima Yi had no intention of letting him go. The more Cao Hong hesitated, the more serious he became.

He could only say: "Today we are going to fight against Liu Bei himself, so we must not be careless or sloppy!"

"Everyone, if you think I did something wrong, just tell me directly."

"Today we are only fighting a war, there must be no personal grudges!"

Sima Yi said this with a righteous look on his face, and Zhang He and others nodded repeatedly after hearing it.

But Cao Hong felt bad, as if he had become a villain just by saying something. At the moment, the momentum was not on his side, and Sima Yi was staring at him, so he could only helplessly respond: "The commander is right, but I really didn't have any thoughts at the moment."

Sima Yi nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and he no longer cared about Cao Hong. Instead, he said to the people around him, "Everyone, I think Liu Bei will definitely come here again. Be prepared early and don't worry too much."

Zhang He and the others immediately bowed and said, "General, you are right. We will keep it in mind."

...

Cao Hong failed to launch an attack. Seeing that Sima Yi was in control of the situation, he turned around and complained to his clan disciple Cao Xiu: "There must be something wrong with Sima Yi!"

"Meng De said before he died that Sima Yi had a bad face and was rebellious. Now your majesty has given him such a high position and even given him military power. What should we do?"

It turned out that Cao Hong was unhappy with Sima Yi, firstly because of the incident with Cao Zhen, and secondly because of Cao Cao's evaluation of him during his lifetime, which was still circulated among the Cao family.

Cao Hong also did not expect that Sima Yi, who was so highly praised by Cao Cao, was so valued by Cao Pi.

Cao Xiu, who was standing by, felt helpless when he heard this, but he said, "Since Sima Yi saved Your Majesty from danger, he will naturally be given an important position!"

"Besides, it was Sima Yi who made great efforts for your Majesty to be crowned emperor. It is not easy to make trouble for him."

In fact, for Cao Xiu, Sima Yi being in charge did not cause him much trouble.

But since he is a member of the Cao family, he is destined to never sit in Sima Yi's position, so he naturally supports Cao Hong.

Cao Hong's expression turned even uglier after hearing this. After a long while, he sighed helplessly and said, "If Miaocai and Yuanrang were here, how could the position of commander-in-chief be lost to others?"

Cao Xiu felt even more embarrassed to speak after hearing this.

Xiahou Yuan was beheaded by Xing Daorong, and Xiahou Dun was captured by Xing Daorong twice in a row, becoming a veritable hostage general!

Even if the two of them were here now, they couldn’t be the commander-in-chief guarding Chang’an.

But Cao Xiu didn't know how to say this, so he could only nod in agreement helplessly.

But Cao Hong had no idea what Cao Xiu was thinking, and thought that he really recognized him. However, now that one of Xiahou Yuan was dead and the other had been captured and there was no news from them, it was possible that they had died in Chengdu a long time ago.

These words are just a way of venting, they can never come true, and they just turned into a sigh.

While he was speaking, he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside. Cao Xiu listened and realized it was Liu Bei calling again!
He immediately stood up and said, "Liu Bei is here! Let's fight the enemy first!"

Cao Hong also knew what was more important, and cursed: "Liu Bei should have been killed by Meng De back then. If he had been killed, there wouldn't be any trouble today!"

After saying this, he picked up his sword and went back to the camp to recruit his troops and prepare to fight the enemy.

Similar to the last test, although Liu Bei's attack this time was more fierce, he was still helpless against the bows and crossbows and could only retreat.

Just after they had dealt with the enemy, a scout came to report that Gaoling had been attacked.

The attack on Gaoling was not a big deal. After all, the gain or loss of a city was not a crucial matter in a battle between such a large army.

The key is
Not only was Gaoling lost, but also Weinan to the east was lost!

It was now obvious that Liu Bei wanted to surround Chang'an from several sides, cut off his connection with the Central Plains, and completely isolate the city!
When Sima Yi heard the news, he was not panicked, but there was an indescribable gleam in his eyes.

But he said: "Xing Daorong is such a good guy, he actually wants to turn Chang'an into an isolated city!"

"He only has so few men, but he's really brave!"

However, he also had some words of praise for his opponent, which made Cao Hong unhappy!
Then he called out, "General! Now is not the time to praise the opponent. I have already said that defending the city alone is too passive. Now that Liu Bei's army has surrounded Chang'an, how should we respond?"
