Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Guanzhong, Fufeng County, Yong County.

It was dusk, the sun was setting, and the orange sunlight made the sunset red.The Wei army camp in the setting sun was very quiet, only the soldiers patrolling the barracks, wearing armor, the sound of their footsteps and armor plates colliding.

In the tent of the Chinese army, after sitting on his knees, Sima Yi looked at the recent military reports.

"Governor, Luoyang urgent military report!" Master Sima reported outside the account.

"Come in!" Sima Yi said as he put his pen on the case.

Master Sima calmly walked into the tent with a letter in his hand.

The shame of the fiancée being plundered by the Shu people, and even being accepted as a concubine by the thief emperor gradually dissipated.Although he feels ashamed every time he thinks about it, it also tempers his character.It is prudent to say that it sounds good, but it is extremely rational and cold to say that it is ugly, and it is extremely difficult for anything to affect his xinxing.

To keep close to Cao Rui for the sake of his career, Sima Shi also took Wu Zhi's daughter Wu Shi as his wife.After all, everything in his heart can be given up for fame and fortune, and anything that is against his future can be eradicated.

"Ziyuan, what's the matter?" Sima Yi asked kindly.

Sima Yi loves his eldest son very much.His rational and cold personality is destined to accomplish great things in this troubled world.The second son, Sima Zhao's ability and disposition are far behind the eldest son.

In Sima Yi's eyes, the ability and future of the eldest son Sima Shi will be far superior to his own in the future. Since his fiancée was robbed, he has almost never seen him get angry.When marrying a wife, she just smiled lightly, rarely seeing joy.

Therefore, in order to train the eldest son, Sima Shi, Sima Yi left his second son and his family in Luoyang, and asked him to follow him as a teacher. Any secrets can be checked by him without authorization.

Sima Shi handed the unsealed letter to Sima Yi, and said: "Father, according to the report of Hu Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, Wu generals Zhu Ran and Bu Zhi are about to move on the border of Xiangfan, and Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun are stationed in Jiangxia. As for Hefei, according to Manchu According to Zhengdong, Wu General Quanzong and Sun Shao have shown signs of mobilizing troops around Hefei and Guangling."

As he said that, Master Sima glanced at Sima Yi and said, "It seems that the people of Wu are about to commit crimes."

Sima Yi looked at the letter and pondered for a long time, then asked: "Is there any trace of Sun Quan?"

Shaking his head, Master Sima said suspiciously: "There is no trace, and people in the court are talking about it, or say that the main force of the Wu people will attack Xiangfan this time, and want to imitate Guan Yu's Northern Expedition; Hefei. It is difficult to make a conclusion, so His Majesty wrote a letter to ask my father."

Sima Yi has been stationed in Jingzhou for a long time, and has dealt with Lu Xun, Zhu Ran, and Zhuge Jin a lot, so he has a little understanding of Wu people's military strategy.There have even been in-depth contacts at the diplomatic level.

At the beginning, Guan Yu's Northern Expedition flooded the Seventh Army, which shocked China, and Cao Cao almost moved his capital from Xudu to the north of the Yellow River.Sima Yi and Jiang Ji persuaded Cao Cao to collude with Sun Quan to assassinate Guan Yu in the back, and Cao Cao obeyed. This is how Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes.

In other words, Sima Yi still has a good understanding of Wu people's character and temperament.

Sima Yi asked him to think for a long time, and said: "Shu and Wu will form an alliance in Xinling, and they will inevitably raise a large army to attack together. I have forgotten about Cao Xiu, Meng Da, and Longyou! The soldiers raised by Shu and Wu this time are not the same as before, and the whole country will fight against them. Come out and jointly attack our country."

At the beginning of the first Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, the Han and Wu jointly attacked, the defeat of Shiting in the east and the defeat of Longyou in the west, which made Cao Wei stumble.Therefore, Cao Wei was very alert to the joint attack of Shu and Wu.

"My father thought that the Wu people invaded our Great Wei border, which is far from what it used to be. Perhaps Guangling, Hefei, Jiangxia, and Xiangfan will suffer from it. Your Majesty can organize the army at any time to wait for Sun Quan's trace or see where the main force of the Wu people is. Send reinforcements, or drive yourself to conquer."

"Duke Jiang also said the same thing in the imperial court. Father and Gong Jiang are indeed wise men in the world, and the enemy is expected to be thousands of miles away." Master Sima boasted.

Sima Yi waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "The wise men in the world can't understand Zhuge Liang's intentions, how dare they boast."

Sima Yi was a little confused about Zhuge Liang's intentions in marching. Zhuge Liang had sent several armies to march on different roads in recent months, so it was difficult for people to know the real intention of Zhuge Liang's army.Moreover, Zhuge Liang blocked the central area of ​​the Qinling Mountains extremely tightly, and sent a large number of Wudang flying troops to block important roads, making it difficult for Wei Jun's scouts to approach.

Three days ago, two or 3000 people from the Shu Army appeared on Baoxie Road, stationed at the crossing, without moving forward, and without reinforcements.The three thousand soldiers Sima Yi sent over did not notice anything unusual, which made Sima Yi really unclear about Zhuge Liang's intention of marching.

Suddenly, footsteps were hurried outside the tent, and the personal guard reported: "Report to the governor, there is an enemy report from Chencang!"

Sima Yi was shocked, and looked at Sima Shi, thinking that Chen Cang has never been hostile, could it be?

"Enter!"

"Report to the governor, General Deng Chencang guard: Yesterday evening, the scouts found that there was an army of Shu generals riding chariots on the Weishui Road, and the army might be no less than [-] to [-] people; Chencang Road also had a large banner of Zhuge Liang of Shu, and the flag stretched along Chencang Road More than ten miles away. I hope the governor will make a clear inspection," the guard reported.

"Captain, light the beacon in the direction of Chencang!"

Hearing this, Sima Yi strode out of the tent, looked at the burning smoke rising to the southwest, with a solemn expression, and sighed: "How fast the people of Shu march!"

The scouts on the front foot delivered yesterday's military information, and Chen Cang on the back foot confirmed the authenticity of the scouts' news and lit a beacon warning. The time for the Shu vanguards to travel was about the same as the scout station, which made Sima Yi sigh at the speed of the Shu vanguards' marching speed .

As the wolf smoke curled up from the southwest, all the generals in the army quickly gathered near Sima Yi's camp.

"Chen Cang is the most important thing in Guanzhong, please lead the army to rescue Chen Cang!" Governor Xue Ti asked in a low voice.

Chencang is the core hub of Cao Wei's defense of Guanzhong, and the western point of the Weishui defense line.Once Chen Cang is captured and the west of the Weishui defense line is broken, then the big man can cross the Weishui and enter the north of the Weishui, and the thousands of hectares of fertile land in the Chengguo Canal newly reclaimed by Sima Yi will fall into the hands of the big man.

At the same time, more importantly, the military rations that Sima Yi had accumulated over the years were all hoarded near the Chengguo Canal. These rations were used to supply the Guanzhong army for war.Once Chencang City falls into the hands of a big man, the harm will be unimaginable, so Cao Wei must rescue Chencang.

Sima Yi stroked his beard confidently, and said: "If Zhuge Liang attacks martial arts in Tang Luo Dao, if he goes to the vicinity of Chang'an, it may be a disaster for our great Wei. Now Zhuge Liang leads the army to attack Chencang, and there is nothing to fear."

After a pause, Sima Yi looked at the assembled generals, and said in a deep voice: "Zhongquan (Xiahouba character) listen to the order, and order you to lead five thousand troops in the vanguard and set off immediately to rescue Chencang. But you must not cross the Weishui River. The troops can set up camp on the north bank."

Xia Houba showed doubts on his face, and asked: "Qi report to the governor, Chen Cang lives in the south of the Wei River, why didn't he cross the river to rescue him?"

Sima Yi caressed his beard and said, "The city of Chencang is strong, with one year's grain inside and three thousand soldiers, enough to stop the Shu people for a long time. You have told the guards that there are reinforcements outside when you arrive in Weibei, so you can rest assured."

"The governor is wise!" Xia Houba praised.

Sima Yi waved his hands and said with a smile, "Small plan! Yi leads the army and will arrive soon. The whole army listens to the order and immediately counts the weapons, grain, armor, and horses, and rescues Chen Cang with someone in the future to prevent Zhuge Liang from leaving Chen Cang."

"No!" Everyone responded.

"Master Sima listened to the order and immediately conveyed the general's feelings to Luoyang. Please His Majesty dispatch Chinese soldiers to rescue." Sima Yi said.

"promise!"
