Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

On the north bank of the Weishui River, Cao Wei's Guanzhong army was advancing on the road. The soldiers were divided into two teams holding weapons and advancing left and right on both sides of the road.In the center, vehicles equipped with food, equipment, and armor are moving forward in the middle of the road.Everything is in order.

The waiting cavalry came galloping from the southwest, passing through the gap between the soldiers and the vehicles.

Hou Qi got off his horse, trotted a few steps, knelt down in front of Sima Yi's horse, panted and said: "Captain, General Xiahou has an urgent military report!"

Sima Yi took it from his personal guard, opened the military newspaper, read it for a while, his face darkened, and called out: "Bring me the map of Chencang!"

"The Governor!"

The nearby civil servants immediately found the map of Chencang from a pile of maps, and handed it to Sima Yi who got off his horse.

"Father, what's the hurry?" Master Sima asked.

Sima Yi did not answer but handed the letter to Master Sima, then opened the map of Chen Cang, and compared them one by one according to the Han army's deployment in the letter.

Annoyed, Sima Yi quickly moved his finger to the meeting of Siwei, then poked it a few times, and said, "This thief Huang Quan has such vicious eyes, he went straight to the meeting of Siwei instead of joining Zhuge Liang's army."

The importance of the Siwei meeting is located in the Weishui area west of Guanzhong, second only to Chencangcheng. Sima Yi stationed [-] soldiers around here to echo Chencangcheng.

Unexpectedly, Huang Quan went straight to the camp set up by the Wei army and attacked day and night.The next day, the camp was directly attacked by the Han army. Fortunately, Xia Houba crossed the river and repelled Huang Quan's pursuit force, saving the fleeing Wei army.

Now that Huang Quan's army has been garrisoned on the north slope, condescendingly watching the Siwei meeting, Xia Houba had no choice but to carry the Sishui and line up, hoping that Sima Yi would quickly dispatch soldiers to rescue.

Sima Shi, who had read the letter, seemed to understand why Sima Yi was annoyed. The topography of the Siweizhihui area was high in the north and low in the south, high in the east and low in the west.There are continuous mountains in the northwest and rivers in the south.

The north slope is the prominent point of the mountains, which is directly embedded in the plain area washed out by the Weishui and Sishuis.Moreover, the northern slope is not a single protruding mountain, but connected to Longshan Mountain. The slope is not very steep, but steep and gentle.People in the Qin Dynasty used to graze horses on the hillside, and now there are still people from a village farming on the hillside.

This time, Huang Quan marched in a hurry to attack day and night to seize the commanding heights, in line with the words of "Sun Tzu's Art of War": "I live first, and I must live in Gaoyang to wait for the enemy." '

As for whether there will be a joke like Ma Di's, it is impossible. The streams on the mountain will naturally flow down and flow into the Weishui and Sishuis. Otherwise, where would the people's farming water come from?Any method of using troops, with thousands of chapters and thousands of sentences, is all aimed at people rather than against others.

"Father, what should General Xiahou do now?" Master Sima asked.

Sima Yi pondered for a long time, and said: "The enemy is condescending, and our army is camping behind the water, so there is no advantage in the terrain. Let Zhong Quan go back to the east bank again, and face Huang Quan across the bank, waiting for our army to arrive."

Now that the opportunity has been lost, it is better to bring the two armies back to the same starting line, Xia Houba returns to the east bank, and confronts Huang Quan across the river, so that the commanding heights occupied by Huang Quan will be useless.If Huang Quan wanted to break through to the east bank of the Qianshui River, Xia Houba would be able to attack halfway across the river.

It's just that in this way, Huang Quan can take care of the Lishui in the east and cross the Weishui in the south.The north, east, and west of Chen Cang are all Han troops, and only the east can communicate with the outside world.Then Sima Yi's army needs to cross the south bank of the Wei River and go west to rescue Chencang.

"Does our army need to change direction and cross the Wei River?" Master Sima asked doubtfully.

Sima Yi stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, then said: "No, let Li Fu lead five thousand soldiers across the Weishui River to see if there is a chance to settle in the old city of Chencang, and rescue Deng Xian to the east. Then ask Zhongquan to support three thousand soldiers to garrison the River Weishui, to be prepared. Huang Quan. The army can return to Yongcheng."

"Return to teacher?" Master Sima asked back in surprise, but then he reacted and replied, "No!"

Sima Yi raised the corners of his mouth and looked in the direction of Chen Cang.

……

When they heard the news of returning to the teacher, Sun Li, Xue Ti, Du Xi and others came to Sima Yi to ask the reason.

And Sima Yi was already sitting on the top chair, with his back to the sun, holding a map of Guanzhong in his hand, carefully looking at the map, and guessing Zhuge Liang's real intentions.

"Dare to ask the governor, why don't you continue to go to Chencang to stop the soldiers of Xishu, and instead return to Yongcheng?" Sun Li asked bravely, clasping his hands.

Sima Yi didn't rush to explain, but first showed everyone the military report delivered by Xia Houba.

After reading the military report of Xia Houba and Huang Quan, everyone was more puzzled. It wasn't because of the urgent war in the west, why the governor became calmer and returned to Yongcheng instead.

Pointing to the letter, Sun Li asked puzzledly: "Commander, Siwei will be occupied by the Shu people. General Xiahou is in a critical situation. Zhuge Liang's army is besieging Chencang City, and General Deng is in a hurry. If we don't go to the rescue now, it is really an emergency. Makes me wonder."

Sima Yi laughed, and signaled to everyone, "De Da is in no hurry, everyone, please look at the map of Guanzhong."

After speaking, everyone gathered.Sima Yi pointed to the southwest corner of the map and explained: "Please look, generals. According to information, Huang Quan went out of the Weishui Road, and Zhuge Liang went out of the Chencang Road. The purpose should be to conquer Chencang City, enter Weinan along the east, and conquer Guanzhong. .”

"So Huang Quan and Zhuge Liang's troops took Chen Cang in an emergency. However, Huang Quan did not rush to attack Chen Cang, but aggressively attacked the meeting of Siwei and stormed our army camp day and night. Zhuge Liang's army was also unhurried. They camped beside the Wei River, as if waiting Our army went to support. This move is different from the art of war!"

Sima Yi moved his fingers back and forth at the intersection of Siweizhihui, Chencang, and Chencang, and explained.

"It is necessary to know that Chencang is narrow, and the Wei River passes through the north, so it is difficult for a large army to deploy. If Chencang is not captured as soon as possible, when our army arrives, the Shu army will be blocked at the crossing of Chencang, and the army will only retreat but not advance. Hold on. , Zhuge Liang is going to return without success. Zhuge Liang will not be ignorant of this move!"

Sun Li suddenly realized, pointing to the army of 'Zhuge Liang' on the map, he said: "The governor's intention, this is Zhuge Liang's strategy of attacking the west. He wants to attract our army to the west, and the headquarters will lead the army to attack other places."

"Exactly!" Sima Yi stroked his beard and nodded.

Sima Yi stroked his beard, and said slowly: "Zhuge Liang is a man who knows the essence of the art of war, and he is good at using his voice to attack the west. When he attacked Longyou, he used Huang Quan as a false soldier to go out of Guanzhong, and led his own army to attack Longyou. , and with Sun Wu as his aid."

"When Yi attacked the west city, he led his army against Yi, using Jufu as a barrier, and led his own army to attack Junlin (Xiahou Ru). This shows that Zhuge Liang is bold and careful, and he wins by being right and surprising. The method of using war is as infinite as the sky and the earth, and as endless as the river and the sea. This man should not be underestimated, if it wasn't for the fact that the Shu army's strange move was discovered by someone by chance, Yi almost fell into Zhuge Liang's strategy of attacking east and west."

Hearing this, everyone gasped.Zhuge Liang's use of troops is so terrifying!
