Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 442 Tit for tat
Inside Chang'an City, when the generals saw Sima Yi's determined look, they all calmed down.

Xu Huang stepped forward and said, "General, today's matter is of great importance, but I don't know what good solution we have right now?"

Sima Yi said: "When Liu Bei saw that we did not leave the city, he thought we were really afraid of him. Now he has divided his troops and looked around, not knowing that defeat is inevitable!"

Everyone was slightly surprised to see Sima Yi speak so confidently.

Looking at his confident look, it doesn't even seem like a plan that he came up with at this very moment.
Like something I've always thought about.

Everything seemed to be running just as Sima Yi was thinking!
just
Come to think of it, this isn't likely!
Sima Yi could not have expected that Cao Hong would be careless and advance on his own, and end up dead at the hands of the Han army.

It is even more impossible to confirm that Tongguan was lost, which put Chang'an in some danger.

Think about it.
Seeing how confident he was, it might be because he reacted quickly and was calmer than the rest of us, so he came up with a solution right away.

So everyone had different thoughts, but they just watched how Sima Yi would make his plan.

Sima Yi said: "Today! We must fight to the death, abandon Chang'an, and attack Liu Bei's camp!"

"If we can accomplish this goal in one fell swoop and take down Liu Bei, then we can accomplish this goal!"

Give up Chang'an?

The generals were stunned.

This plan is so bold!
How can we give up Chang'an!

If Chang'an is lost, everything will be ruined!
Xu Huang then advised: "Although the Marshal's plan is good, we will fight to the death, but Chang'an must not be lost!"

"Isn't this plan of yours too risky?"

Sima Yi knew that Xu Huang was just being nice and was really worried about the situation in Chang'an, so he patiently explained: "Don't panic! Chang'an cannot be lost. I know this very well!"

"However, things have come to this today. We have fallen into the trap set by Liu Bei and Xing Daorong!"

"It is better to charge in and kill them, break the cauldrons and sink the enemy, only then will there be a glimmer of hope for survival."

this.
Naturally, Xu Huang could not defeat Sima Yi in an argument.

And he had to admit that Sima Yi was right!
If we are trapped in Chang'an, wouldn't we fall into a trap?

just
Xu Huang felt really uneasy when he heard that no one was left in Chang'an!
He said, "What the commander said is correct, but we have to leave someone in Chang'an City, so why not just let me stay in Chang'an."

Xu Huang said he wanted to stay in Chang'an, not because he was afraid of attacking Liu Bei's main camp.

In his mind, this was giving the opportunity to make merit to others, and staying in Chang'an to defend the city himself was giving up the opportunity to make merit.

Sima Yi did not misunderstand, but smiled and shook his head, saying: "No!"

"There are too many generals around Liu Bei. Although Ma Chao and Zhang Fei have left Liu Bei,..."

"There are too many generals around him, including Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Xing Daorong, Pang De and other generals. We can't relax!"

"Only by risking everything can we defeat him!"

As Sima Yi spoke, he stood up and looked around at everyone!
But he called out, “Everyone!”

"Things have come to this today. If we can defeat Liu Bei, Chang'an can be saved. If we cannot, we will fight to the death for our country, without hesitation!"

Everyone was tense when they heard this, but they understood what Sima Yi meant.

This is a battle with no retreat.

If we win, Chang'an can be saved!
If we lose, we will die for our country!
It doesn’t matter whether Chang’an wants to keep people or not!

Now that everyone understood Sima Yi's thoughts, they stopped talking.

They all nodded silently, but were ready to fight to the death!

Sima Yi saw this, but his expression softened and he said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. Liu Bei certainly didn't expect that we would go all out and destroy his main camp!"

"We will first march north, pretending to rescue Gao Ling." "When Liu Bei's troops react and go to rescue him, we will turn around and attack Liu Bei's army, catching them off guard!"

All the generals nodded after hearing this and said that Sima Yi's plan was a good one.

Besides, the commander-in-chief made the plan with a public-spirited heart, so no one could say anything more.

They each responded to the call for troops, and that day they marched towards Gaoling!

...

On the other hand, Liu Bei deployed scouts day and night to monitor the movements in Chang'an City.

How could anyone not know about the army's movement in Chang'an City?
When Liu Bei got the news, he sent Pang De to lead his men to help Ma Chao.

On the other side, Liu Bei was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news that Zhang Fei had taken Tongguan. He pulled Xing Daorong into the big tent and shouted, "Tongguan has been taken. Chang'an has been besieged today. Great things can be accomplished!"

Xing Daorong was actually very excited too!
Chang'an was besieged!

Although this was my plan when I used the plan, but.
When it really worked, Xing Daorong was still somewhat excited, especially since the siege of Chang'an was such a crucial event that even a veteran like Xing Daorong was extremely excited.

But he said: "Yes, Your Majesty, now that Sima Yi can send troops to the north, he must have known that he was surrounded, so he wanted to break the encirclement!"

"In this case, we can't let Sima Yi succeed. We have to hold him down in Chang'an!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, but asked, "If Sima Yi sent troops to rescue Gao Ling, could he launch a surprise attack on Chang'an?"

Xing Daorong felt that Sima Yi had made all the arrangements, but it was not a big problem to just give it a try.

Then he said, "You can ask someone to give it a try."

But after saying this, Liu Bei seemed to hesitate again.

He hesitated and said, "Forget it, Sima Yi is very smart and will not leave any troops behind."

"Don't waste your time. Just help Meng Qi."

Yes!

In this way, the goal is clear and the military morale will not be shaken.

Xing Daorong said: "Your Majesty is wise, just go to Gaoling!"

In this way, Liu Bei's entire army paid attention to Gaoling's movements, ready to send more troops at any time to support Gaoling.

Unexpectedly, when he was paying attention to Gao Ling, Sima Yi suddenly launched a surprise attack.

The army had just crossed the Weishui River, and when Ma Chao and Pang De were about to prepare to stop them, they crossed back and headed straight for Xianyang.

The base camp of Liu Bei's army was in Xianyang.

Seeing Sima Yi's army rushing in, looking around and seeing tens of thousands of soldiers, he was suddenly frightened.

Liu Bei asked, "Why did Sima Yi send his troops here?"

Xing Daorong reacted quickly. When he saw that the main force of the Wei army was in this place, he immediately realized that he had fallen into the Wei army's strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

On the surface, they were going to attack Gaoling, but in reality they were making a desperate attempt to kill Liu Bei's camp!

What a Sima Yi!

This is a desperate effort!

Xing Daorong hurriedly said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, this is Sima Yi's plan to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. We should retreat now. If his troops pursue us further, we can get reinforcements from Guanzhong to rescue him and kill him together."

"If we don't chase them, then this plan will be useless. We will come back again and force Chang'an to surrender!"
