Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 300 Wu Shu Alliance (1)
Enemy on both sides
"The Wu-Shu alliance has been formed, Zhuge Liang's army has arrived in Hanzhong County, and the situation on our border in the west of Kansas is really precarious!" Sima Yi pointed to the silk map of Guanzhong's military topography on the front wall of the General's Office's conference hall, straight to the point and said solemnly, "My lords, generals, where do you think Zhuge Liang's way of attacking the north should be?"

Meng Jian, governor of Liangzhou, frowned, looking very worried: "The last few times Zhuge Liang sent troops to attack, they all attacked from the direction of Qishan—this time he came directly to Qishan's camp?" Qishan was under his jurisdiction. In the territory of Liangzhou, if Zhuge Liang really captured Qishan again, one can imagine the pressure on his shoulders!How can this not make him frown?Back then when he was studying in "Qingyun Villa", he already knew that his talents and knowledge were far inferior to Zhuge Liang, now that he was facing the enemy head-on in Kansai, how could he have the strength to resist?
Deng Ai, the general who broke the captives, didn't take his deep worries seriously, and said from another angle: "According to Deng's humble opinion, Zhuge Liang probably won't repeat the route of the previous few times when he marched to the north this time— —Because he knows that we will definitely fortify the Liangzhou area layer by layer, constantly consuming his vigor. A Qishan, a Jieting, and a Chencang, any of these three vital points are enough for him to "gnaw" for a year and a half It's done! Maybe, he will take a slanted sword, go east from the Qinling Mountains, then go north from Ziwu Valley, cross Wugong Mountain, take the shortest shortcut at the fastest speed, and reach Chang'an in just over ten days Under the city..."

Sima Yi listened carefully to their opinions, without saying a word, turned his attention to Zhao Yan again, and asked politely, "Mr. Zhao, what's your opinion?"

Zhao Yan is the most experienced military minister of the Wei State today, and he has been assisting Cao Zhen to deal with the Shu army since Zhuge Liang first left Qishan, so his understanding of the tactics and tactics of the Shu army has always been far beyond ordinary people above.When he heard Sima Yi ask by name, he straightened his upper body on the seat, held his breath, stroked his white beard, and said in a slow voice: "This... According to this military adviser, Zhuge Liang's actions are the most rigorous and thorough in his life. , never take risks easily! Moreover, his family in Shu is only so thin, and he is not willing to waste it—plus my Great Wei has set up numerous sentries along the mountain plank roads in the area of ​​Wugong Mountain and Ziwu Valley. The change, and our army immediately noticed it in Chang'an! In this way, the Shu army will no longer be "surprised" to attack Chang'an with "surprising soldiers"! Then we just need to stay at the exit of the Ziwu Valley plank road and give him a surprise It’s enough to outflank everything!”

As soon as he said this, the other generals in the tent burst into laughter.Deng Ai blushed suddenly and wanted to argue.Zhao Yan ignored him, and turned his attention to an address on the military topographical map of Guanzhong: "This military division has been thinking about it for the past few days, and my humble opinion is as follows - this Xiegu Road may be the site of Zhuge Liang's attack this time." An important source of the Northern criminals!"

"Xiegu Road?" Guo Huai, governor of Yongzhou, was startled. "Mr. Zhao, have you made a mistake? Xiegu Road is the entrance and exit from the Weihe Plain to Hanzhong, and it is also the pass that our Guanzhong army usually pays attention to...Zhuge Liang, he will not be so stupid. Is it coming to attack under our noses? Isn’t this sending yourself to your door to die?”

"Hmm... this commander thinks what Zhao Jun said is true." Sima Yi spoke at this moment, praised Zhao Yan deeply, and at the same time turned to look at Guo Huai, "Guo Mujun! You don't know, this Sometimes the most dangerous place in the world may just happen to be the safest place!"

"Mr. Zhao and General, aren't you overly concerned?" Guo Huai shook his head slightly, and directly put forward his own opposing opinion. established under the initiative.He rebutted with solid grounds: "First of all, we put [-] elite soldiers guarding the North Pass of Xiegu Road, and Zhuge Liang's intention to sneak attack is almost as difficult as heaven; secondly, even if Zhuge Liang transported troops to surprise the North Pass of Xiegu Road... ...The mountain roads are rugged and the slopes are narrow, how can his rear supply of food and grass keep up? As long as we wave our troops, they will no longer be able to stand, and they will obediently retreat along the original road?"

Sima Yi listened, but he groaned and didn't answer—according to the "eyeliner" he sent to lurk in the interior of Shu to send a message: Zhuge Liang had invented a transportation device called "Wooden Cow and Horse" before this Northern Expedition. The food and grass are plentiful, fast, compact and convenient. I am afraid that Zhuge Liang's supply of food and grass to the rear when he invaded this time can be described as smooth and free, without any delay!

But at present, Sima Yi has not seen the prototype of "Wooden Cow and Liuma".Therefore, it was not easy for him to say anything to the generals under his tent, so he said casually: "Guo Mujun, as a soldier, you must not have the idea of ​​'relying on your own danger'. The North Pass of Xiegu Road is dangerous, but it is also decisive. It must be an insurmountable moat. Sima Zhao, you write a warrant for the commander-in-chief to He Chi, the gatekeeper at the north of Xiegu Road, reminding him to be careful. As for the Qishan camp, the governor Meng Jian will still go back and garrison himself On the side of Ziwu Valley, Liang Ji, go and inspect it yourself immediately, and let those guards step up their vigilance day and night..."

While he was talking, suddenly there was a deafening bang of "crash" outside the hall door, and even his own voice was covered up, and he couldn't hear anything...

Sima Yi was silent for a moment, and after the loud noise died down and the hall became silent again, he turned his eyes to Liang Ji and motioned him to go out and see why.

At this time, there was another burst of long laughter from outside the hall door. Tai Shiling, Zanshan Xuanhua doctor and Guanzhong Army Army Sacrificial Wine Zhou Xuan stepped in, shaking his head and said: "Oh! The wind in the west is so strong! Even the handsome flag pole as thick as a bowl on the training ground was blown off!"

It turned out that the handsome flag flagpole was broken by the strong wind!Only then did the generals in the hall come to their senses—General Hu Zun of Pingshu shouted on the spot: "What a terrible weather! It seems that from now on, this flagpole will have to be replaced with one as thick as a sea bowl!"

Zhou Xuan still walked up to Sima Yi's writing case as if no one else was there, stretched out his right hand, handed him a note, and said in his mouth: "General, this is what Zhou came up with today by watching the situation."

Hearing his words, many of the generals in the hall couldn't help but secretly chuckled.But Zhou Xuan still looked at Sima Yi directly, and he didn't appear to lose his composure at all because of being ridiculed by others.

"Well... I really need Doctor Zhou." Sima Yi reached out to take the note, glanced at it quickly, and put it away in his sleeve.Then, he looked around at the generals in the hall, and said emphatically: "Did you hear clearly what I ordered just now?"

"I can hear you clearly." Sima Zhao, Meng Jian, and Liang Ji answered.

Sima Yi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, still felt that the situation on Xiegu Road could not be completely reassuring, and said coldly: "No way! Xiegu Road is the throat of our Great Wei to enter and leave the land of Hanzhong, and it must not be neglected—— Hu Zun and Niu Jin, you two will lead [-] troops to station at the North Pass of Xiegu Road. On the one hand, you must guard it strictly, and on the other hand, you must wait for the opportunity to move. When necessary, we must hold our fists tightly. Take the initiative to attack and keep the Shu bandits out of the country!"

"The last general obeys the order!" Hu Zun and Niu Jin came out, clasped their fists together and bowed to answer.

After Sima Yi gave these important orders to the military aircraft, he asked the generals to step down and follow orders.He lightly beat his waist with his fist, sat back on the bed, and was about to talk to Zhou Xuan.

At this moment, another soldier came in from outside the hall and reported: "General, He Chi, the guard at the north gate of Xiegu Road, sent a special envoy to ride eight hundred miles to report the urgent military situation... "

"Beiguan on Xiegu Road?" Sima Yi's heart skipped a beat and he was taken aback, "Let him in quickly!"

"General, the North Pass of Xiegu Road is urgent! Three days ago, a group of no less than [-] daredevils from the Shu army attacked the city of Beiguan by night... They sneaked in from the cliff— — Master He led the brothers to resist desperately there, but failed to drive them out. During the past three days, the reinforcements from the Shu bandits have been continuously increased, and the Nanman "Tengjia soldiers" are the most powerful , strong, skillful, thick-skinned and thick-skinned, ten of us sergeants combined can only defeat one of him..."

The special envoy sent by He Chi knelt on the ground and reported urgently as soon as he entered the hall, his tone was crackling like a dry bamboo tube burned by flames.His clothes were blood-stained and torn, and he was covered with a piece of clothes and hung with a strand of clothes. One could tell that he had fought desperately from the hail of guns and arrows.

"Hmm... Who are you under He Chi? What is the current situation of the battle in He Chi's place? Can you hold on?"

Sima Yi frowned secretly, but his face was as calm as autumn water, and he asked deeply.

"General, it is Liu Gong, the captain of He Chi's personal army who is going down. The night before yesterday, he gave an emergency blood letter from Master He. He desperately broke out from the encirclement. He came here to ask you for help." The special envoy said loudly. As he spoke, he took out a roll of bright red dotted silk script from his bosom, raised his hands above his head, and presented it up.

Seeing this, Sima Yi gave a dark look, and Sima Zhao, who was standing by his side, understood, walked over quickly and took the "emergency blood letter" presented by Liu Gong.

Sima Yi recognized He Chi's handwriting, and at a glance he could tell that the blood book was actually He Chi's authentic handwriting.After he read it carefully, he asked with some surprise: "He Chi mentioned in this 'emergency blood book' that he still has an urgent matter and entrusted you to report it verbally... What kind of urgent matter is that? You just Come quickly."

"This..." Liu Gong opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly remembered something, and glanced around the meeting hall.

When Sima Yi saw it, he raised his hand, and the guards and servants in the hall understood and retreated one after another.

For a while, only Zhou Xuan and Sima Zhao were left in the hall by Sima Yi's side.

Looking at Zhou Xuan and Sima Zhao, Liu Gong still had hesitation on his face.Sima Yi said coldly: "Doctor Zhou and Officer Sima Lang are both my most trusted confidantes - Liu Gong, you can speak frankly about anything in front of them, and it doesn't matter!"

Liu Gong let out a "huh", bowed down and respectfully said: "General, when Xia Zou came here for an emergency, Mr. He whispered a top-secret news to Xia Zou - he noticed that the Shu bandits were attacking this time. There are Zhuge Liang's traitors in the Guanzhong Commander's Mansion and the foreign enemies should cooperate with each other from a distance, otherwise the vital points of Beiguan City would not be exposed so easily to the cannons, stones and crossbows of the bandits..."

"What? There is Zhuge Liang's traitor in the commander's mansion?" Sima Yi's face tightened, "What did He Chi realize? Who is the traitor?" In fact, he had been thinking to himself before: the North Pass of Xiegu Road was originally a strong wall Hou, in such a short period of time, he rushed to the emergency, without the insider leaking the military situation in the city, it is absolutely impossible for such a situation to happen.
