The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 134 Sima Wang's Conjecture
Sima Wang's conjecture
The Han army slowly withdrew to the camp; because the soldiers who blocked Zhao Tong had reported the war in advance, Zhao Yun immediately led the army to fight, but it was already powerless. The heavy shadows, coupled with Zhao Tong's arrow, made life and death uncertain at this time, which further weakened the morale of the Han army in the camp.

"General, the captain is still alive. Thanks to the captain's armor weakening the strength of the arrow, the captain just lost too much blood and fell into a coma for a while." After checking Zhao Tong's body, an old man with the appearance of a doctor said, Said slowly.

"Thank you, Liu is getting old," Zhao Yun said expressionlessly; when he knew that Zhao Tong was going to compete with Guo Huai, Zhao Yun actually knew this would be the result. Fortunately, he was still alive.

The old man slowly withdrew from the camp, leaving only Zhao Yun, Zhao Tong, and Zhao Guang.

"Father, shall we continue to fight?" Zhao Guang asked in a deep voice.

"There is no need to stay here any longer. Guo Huai already knows the reality of our army. Otherwise, he would not rush out and retreat to Fengming Mountain tomorrow! Looking at the battle situation in Yongzhou, His Majesty should have captured Longyou by now." Zhao Yun mused.

"That's right! You must find your Uncle Xian's bones, and I will personally send him off; your Uncle Xian has been in my battalion ever since he joined Baima Yicong in Youzhou to fight against foreigners with General Gongsun. ;Until the end of General Gongsun's fall, when I went to His Majesty, your uncle Xian and more than a hundred other Baima Yicong followed me, until now, after your Xianshu passed away, the only remaining hundred Baima Yicong was now me Alone; when we went to His Majesty together, we only had one common wish, that is to re-establish Baima Yicong, so that the title of Baima Yicong can be passed down forever, but Your Majesty has always been under the control of Cao Cao, and there is no establishment of Baima Yicong in the place where we are. Yi Cong's ability, although we have finally settled in Yizhou, it is a pity that the Land of Abundance does not provide us with the opportunity to develop Baima Yi Cong, even if we have formed more than [-] cavalry, it is only to comfort everyone's mourning hearts!" Zhao Yun said silently , with his eyes tightly closed, he might have traveled to Youzhou at this moment, the place where Baimayi started.

"Father, was Uncle Xian sent by you to protect elder brother?" Zhao Guang asked suddenly.

Zhao Yun was silent for a while, and said, "I know your elder brother has a strong personality. If Guo Huai finds out the truth of our army, he will go out of the city to fight, but your elder brother's force is far from Guo Huai's. That's why you let your uncle Xian go out to fight. Your brother Zhouquan; I wanted to practice it, but I didn't expect it to end like this."

"Father, since this is the case, don't blame yourself anymore; Your Majesty's army has already invaded Yongzhou. As long as we take down the land of Yongliang and report to Your Majesty, we will be able to re-establish the White Horse Congregation, and I hope all of you Uncle's wish!" Zhao Guang gently persuaded.

"Where righteousness comes, life and death go hand in hand! The sky can learn from it, and the white horse is the proof! Order the whole army to retreat: Fengming Mountain." Zhao Yun said in a deep voice, but he couldn't help but read out the beliefs that they had passed down by word of mouth back then. ; but it seems that Zhao Yun is not willing to let Bai Ma Yicong be like a shooting star, fleeting.

Mei Guocheng; "Report, General, Zhao Yun has withdrawn." The scout reported to Guo Huai.

"What! They actually retreated! But where did they retreat?" Guo Huai was really startled, he couldn't believe that Zhao Yun would actually retreat;
If Zhao Yun retreats now, isn't it telling everyone that he is just a partial division and does not have any troops to attack the city; instead, he can let all the reinforcements from Yongzhou and even the Central Plains approach Longyou to stop the Shuhan army there. This army will no longer have any threatening effect.

"Return to General: Zhao Yun retreated to Fengming Mountain" the scout responded.

"What, Fengming Mountain! Could it be that Zhao Yun hasn't given up yet, and still wants to make a difference in Yongzhou with the strength in his hands!" Guo Huai said angrily.

"General, I don't think Zhao Yun has any intention of attacking our city of Mei. He is just waiting for someone?" Sima Wang standing in the hall said slowly. He is thinking about the entire battle situation in Yongzhou.

Sima Wang, who was promoted to the captain by virtue of his own strength, in the eyes of Guo Huai, is now a capable person. They were all appreciated in that Qiang Hu invasion. And Sima Wang is decisive and strategic; if Guo Huai is the descendant of a famous family, then Sima Wang is the descendant of the Hanoi noble Sima family, his father is Sima Fu, and Sima Fu is Sima Yi's younger brother, that is to say, Sima Wang It is Sima Yi's nephew.

When Sima Wang was sent out as a general, although he had the relationship with the Sima family, Sima Wang's final promotion was entirely based on his own strength.

"Oh! Then who is he waiting for?" Guo Huai asked curiously.

"Liu Bei!" Sima Wang said in a deep voice, his eyes were particularly sharp when he said the word Liu Bei. Everyone in Cao Wei knew that he was conferred the title of Emperor Wu of Wei by Cao Pi, Cao Cao, the founder of Wei State, and was praised as a hero of the time, and the greatest in his life. enemy.As a member of Wei, as long as he can defeat Liu Bei and then capture him, it will be the greatest honor, which will surpass all glory.

"What do you mean?" Guo Huai asked, as if he could smell it too.

"General, Zhao Yun has held back our capable soldiers in Yongzhou here, and Longyou in Yongzhou has been completely exposed to Liu Bei's army. Liu Bei's taking Longyou at this time can be said to be out of pocket; if you are Liu Bei, general After Longyou, how will you use your troops?" Sima Wang said slowly,

"I am very familiar with Yongzhou. If I were Liu Bei; after occupying Longyou, I would send a general to guard Jieting. Jieting is the only way from the east of Yongzhou to Longyou. You Wuyou; afterward, after leading the army down the Weihe River, you can directly take the hinterland of Yongzhou... You mean that Zhao Yun is here to prepare to meet Liu Bei, and then he is attacking our city of Meiguo." Guo Huai immediately understood, At this moment, he seemed to understand what Sima Wang was referring to.

"What the general said is very true. Since Longyou has been captured by Liu Bei, his army must be gearing up to use troops in the hinterland of Yongzhou; and our city of Mei is just on the side of the Wei River. If Liu Bei wants to attack the hinterland of Yongzhou, he must go through In Meiguo City, Zhao Yun retreated to Fengming Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, at this time, which shows that Liu Bei's strategy is the same as what the general said just now." Sima Wang said slowly,

Guo Huai held Sima Wang tightly, not because he was amazed by Sima Wang's talent, but because he was thinking about how to resist the coming enemies here.

"General, what I said just now is just a guess. If Liu Bei really marched like this, then once Jieting falls, not only Longyou will be recovered by our army, but more importantly, the back road and grain road of the Han army will be destroyed. If our army is cut off, Liu Bei will be trapped to death in Yongzhou; and Liu Bei is not necessarily a general who dares to bet on the entire army. After all, the Shu Han is a soldier of the country, so we must be cautious and cautious; of course, if Zhao Yun is here to respond , even if Jieting is lost and the Han army’s rear route is cut off, there will still be Baoxie Valley for withdrawal.” Sima Wang suddenly thought of something, but all this still needs the final decision of Zhenxi Chief Shi Guohuai.
