Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 55
"Prime Minister, Su thought that Zhang Yun would not dare to move lightly..."

"Youchang, don't be arbitrary!"

"Prime Minister, Su thought that Sima Yi was thousands of miles away, so he would never come to help, and even if he came, he would not be in time..."

"Young Chang, stability must be the first priority in leading the army in battle!"

"Prime Minister,..."

"inappropriate!"

"..."

In the big tent, Ma Di and Zhuge Liang had a heated discussion on how to capture Wudu and Yinping counties.

On the issue of whether Sima Yi would lead an army to obstruct it, Ma Di and Zhuge Liang had serious differences.

Zhuge Liang believed that Sima Yi would definitely lead the army to prevent Shu Han from expanding his territory, so it was necessary to win Jianwei.

Ma Di didn't think that Sima Yi would come, because Sima Yi was far away in the Guanzhong Plain, thousands of miles away from the Longnan area, and when he learned of the changes in Longnan, it was too late to stop him.

Of course, what cannot be ignored is that Longyou still has a soldier of Cao Wei, that is, Zhang Yun stationed in Xixian County.

But Zhang He is not worried. He has only 3 to [-] troops left under his command, and he has to take care of the defense of the five counties of Longyou. big picture.

Therefore, Ma Di is very confident in this military operation, thinking that it is an easy feat.

Moreover, looking at the previous northern expeditions of the Shu Han in another time and space, almost every time it started with Zhuge Liang first capturing part of Cao Wei's territory, and then Cao Wei's army counterattacked, driving the Northern Expedition army of the Shu Han away and restoring control of these areas.

Only in the third Northern Expedition, after Zhuge Liang captured the two counties of Yinping and Wudu, Cao Wei never sent troops to retake the two counties.

The reason for this must start with the Battle of Hanzhong 11 years ago.In the 22nd year of Jian'an (217 A.D.), the two families of Wei and Shu launched a battle for Hanzhong in the Hanzhong area that lasted for one year and seven months.In the end, Cao Cao was forced to withdraw from Hanzhong, Wudu (including Xiabian), and Yinping, and Liu Bei took control of Hanzhong.

Wudu and Xiabian served as no-man's land and became a buffer zone between the two families. Yinping County was occupied by the Qiang people who migrated from the western plateau to the east, and the Qiang people who fled from Wudu to the west. base camp.

In fact, at the beginning, Wudu was not a no-man's land, and there were many Qiang and Di people living here.

But before withdrawing from Hanzhong, Cao Cao saw that after Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, the army had pushed into Xiabian, so he moved [-] households of Di people to Tianshui, Jingzhao, Fufeng and other places on the grounds that Wudu was isolated and difficult to defend.As a result, a large area of ​​no man's land appeared in Wudu.

In other words, before Cao Cao withdrew from Wudu, most of the local people in Wudu had been removed, leaving no hair for Liu Bei.

After that, although Cao Wei regained control of the two counties of Yinping and Wudu, they only used them as a buffer zone with the Shu Han. First, they did not develop agriculture here, and second, they did not carry out any population migration.

Therefore, Ma Di deduced that when he led his army to actually control Yinping, Cao Wei would not respond to it. After all, Yinping and even Wudu County had not much population and resources left, and even if they lost it, it would have no effect on Cao Wei.

In the original time and space, neither Cao Zhen in the early stage nor Sima Yi in the later stage launched a military operation to retake the two counties of Yinping and Wudu after they were actually controlled by the Shu Han.

This is the reason why Ma Di dared to boast again in front of Zhuge Liang, and even did not hesitate to issue a military order.

It was easy for him to win Yinping and Wudu counties.

In addition, Ma Su's self-confidence is based on another aspect-the goodwill of the Qiang people.With the help of the system, the tens of thousands of Qiang people living in the west of Wudu and Yinping have a great affection for the Shu Han, and they always want to fall into the embrace of the latter.

that's enough.

From the geographical point of view, both Yinping County and Wudu County are in the southwest of Qishan Mountain.When the Shu Han conquered the two counties, they did not need to pass through Qishan Mountain. They could directly attack Wudu from Hanzhong to the northwest, and then go southwest to Yinping.

Especially after Ma Di captured Xiabian City, the Shu Han basically controlled most of Wudu County except for Xixian County in the north where Zhang He was stationed.

The only worry now is whether Sima Yi, the governor of Cao Wei, will lead his troops to aid Longnan and prevent the Shu Han from actually controlling the two counties.

With this in mind, Zhuge Liang put forward a pertinent suggestion to Ma Di-that is, send a partial general to lead a partial division to take Yinping, and Ma Di will lead the main force to attack Jianwei and Xixian respectively, blocking the reinforcement route of Cao Wei's army.

Ma Di didn't feel at all about this proposal.

He knew what Zhuge Liang said was reasonable, and this move was a safer and more prudent one.

But he just wanted to lead the main force to approach Xi County, strangle Zhang He's way to the south, and then slowly grind the latter away, all in Wudu County.

He, Ma Di, would never do such a thing as storming a city. He felt that this kind of attack would only increase casualties...

Too reckless.

Skilled generals generally do not adopt this style of play that "injures oneself [-] and injures the enemy [-]".

War does not necessarily have to be a hard attack.

Defense can win!
Oh, by the way, there is also the tried-and-tested stealing tactic.

For example, Sima Yi relied on defense this time to survive until the Shu army ran out of food and retreated, and then won the battle of Chencang.

He can completely imitate this method and use Sima Yi's way to return Zhang Xi's body.

Besides, he is afraid of hair if he has cheats!
Divide up?It is impossible to divide troops in this life!

You don't panic when you have soldiers in your hand.

In this expedition, a total of only 3 horses were brought.Allocate 1 to take Yinping, and another [-] to take Jianwei, then what are the remaining [-] people doing?

You know, Zhang Xi still has 3 to [-] people!
How can it be safe to act like this?This is obviously taking risks, the prime minister!

The two generals couldn't stop arguing about this, and neither could convince the other.

In order to prevent Zhuge Liang from interfering with his freedom of commanding the army, Ma Di used the excuse that he was the commander-in-chief, argued with reason, spit everywhere, and argued with Zhuge Liang for a long time with a blushing face and a thick neck.

In the end, Zhuge Liang decided to personally lead the team to recover the second county.

Let Ma Di accompany him as a partial general.

Along with them are general Wei Yan, young general Jiang Wei, and left and right pioneers Guan Xing and Zhang Bao.The [-] army and other generals were led by Yang Yi and general Zhao Yun to return to Hanzhong to rest.

After the plan was settled, Zhuge Liang waved his hand wearily: "Youchang, step back."

With a sullen face, Ma Su bowed his hands and retreated, and came to Zhao Yun's camp sullenly.

After this incident, he realized another truth of life.

Never argue with your boss.

The more you fight, the worse you lose.

The prime minister doesn't talk about martial arts too much!

If he couldn't argue, he took away his position as the general.

Outside the camp, the veteran Zhao Yun was wearing a big cloth jacket and was cleaning his spear vigorously. Seeing Ma Su walking over unhappy, he put down his gun and said with a smile:
"Ah, isn't this a life-saving benefactor, please be respected by the young general Zhao Yun!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun pushed the Jinshan Mountain down to the Jade Pillar and bowed down.

"Don't, don't, don't! The old general beat me too!" Ma Di didn't care about his depression, and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.

But where can I stop it?

Even though Zhao Yun was nearly seventy years old, no matter in terms of martial arts or strength, he was the one who crushed Ma Di.

Ma Su had no choice but to face awkwardly, and accepted Zhao Yun's big gift.After the ceremony, the two entered the camp hand in hand, and sat down as guests and hosts.

Zhao Yun took a closer look at Ma Di, and said with a chuckle: "Youchang, why are you so worried? If there is anything unhappy, tell me, and make me happy...Let me enlighten you."

"..." Ma Su's eyes widened instantly, and he stretched out five fingers, shaking them in front of Zhao Yun.

"Old General Zhao, how much is this?"

Zhao Yun squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Young Changxiu wants to look down on me, this is five."

It seems that General Zhao is in good spirits. Ma Di heaved a sigh of relief, then frowned, and said hesitantly, "Old General, what are you...how are you..."

"You want to ask, why am I so naughty?" Zhao Yun stroked his beard and sighed: "After walking through the ghost gate, I suddenly understood many things. In life, there is no need to worry about everything. The most important thing is to live You are so happy, Xiaochang, what do you think?"

"Old General Zhao, you have realized it!" Ma Su praised, took out the remaining 16 black pills from his bosom, put them on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Old general, I still have some quick-acting life-saving pills. Each pill can prolong the life of a dying person by three months. Let's share it now."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun was shocked: "Could this be the magic medicine to save Zhao from the gate of hell?"

"It's it!"

"Youchang, tell me the truth, how many such magic medicines are there?"

"a lot of!"

"How much is a lot?"

"Inexhaustible, inexhaustible!"

Zhao Yun's eyes widened, and he was stunned, and a storm blew up in his head for a moment.

Ma Di started from himself, while distributing the pills, he said brokenly:
"I have a heart disease, the medicine can't be stopped, the first one belongs to me; the prime minister is busy with state affairs, so the medicine is always on hand, he takes one; old general, you are getting old, you take one..."

After five laps, the pills were divided into three piles, and there was only one left, and it happened to be Ma Su's turn again.

He was about to reach out to take it, but suddenly his eyes blurred, and Zhao Yun grabbed the pill and pulled it away.

"???"

Ma Di raised his eyes to Zhao Yun, and asked doubtfully, "Old General, didn't you just say that the most important thing in life is to live happily, and you don't have to worry about everything, is that it?"

This is a must compare!
Zhao Yun stroked his beard and smiled slightly, "That's right, it's a piece, not a catty, and I didn't care about it. As You Chang said before, it's logical, right?"

"..."

Ma Su stared straight at Zhao Yun, who had suddenly turned into an old urchin, and fell into deep thought.

Old General Zhao just walked through the ghost gate, and his temperament changed a lot?
Could it be the side effects of this pill?
