Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Jiangyi, Yicheng.

Among the mountain roads, a large number of Wei troops shuttled among them, and the flags fluttered in the wind. There should be [-] soldiers. This is currently the only soldiers that Cao Wei Hebei can use to support the Hedong battlefield.

Sima Yi was stationed on the hillside, and he was quite optimistic about the battlefield in Hedong.

Earlier, he had received a letter from Chen Tai, in which Chen Tai introduced the battlefield situation in Hedong in detail, explained how he had seen through Jiang Wei's strategy several times, and said that now Jiang Wei went to Linfen alone, committing suicide On the other hand, he may be able to defeat Jiang Wei before Sima Yi arrives, and then join him and go south to repel Liu Chan's troops.

Sima Yi browsed through the letters before and after, but found nothing wrong.Sima Yi was very grateful for this, but fortunately it was Chen Tai who defended the Shu Han in Hedong.If it were someone else, they would panic in such a critical situation, and Hedong would definitely fall into the hands of the Han people.

Looking at the ranks that stretched for more than ten miles, Sima Yi said with emotion: "If Chen Tai can guard the east of the river, he will not be a thief and general Wang Ping will guard Jingzhou."

"嘚~"

Hou Qi galloped towards Sima Yi's position along the middle of the mountain road.

"Royal!"

Hou Qi turned over, ran up the hill quickly, and reported: "Qi Taifu, the Yicheng in front has been occupied by the Han army, and our army may not be able to pass!"

"what!"

Sima Yi, who was still full of fantasies about the battle in Hedong just now, was stunned for a moment, and asked again in disbelief: "Yicheng is really occupied by the Han army, but you misread it!"

"Teacher Qi, I dare not make a mistake. Yicheng is indeed occupied by the Han army, and the guard is the thief general Liu Lin." The scout replied in a deep voice.

"Let's go! I want to see for myself!"

Sima Yi was stunned for a while, then got back on his horse and led the crowd towards Yicheng.

Not long after running, Sima Yi arrived on the east side of the mountain outside Yicheng, looking down at Yicheng in the distance.I saw the banner of the Han army fluttering in the wind on Yicheng, a large number of soldiers were running back and forth on the city wall, and crossbowmen were waiting in battle.A large number of people from below the city poured into the city gate, and then the city gate was closed heavily.Obviously not only the Wei army discovered the Han army, but the Han army's scouts also discovered the Wei army.

Looking at Yicheng which had already been occupied by the Han army, Sima Yi sighed, and said helplessly: "If I don't expect, Chen Tai has already been defeated, and Yicheng is occupied by bandits, it will be difficult for us to rush to help Hedong."

Yicheng belongs to the small town under Jiangyi County, just like Jieting belongs to the small town under Xinyang County, Tianshui County.And Jiangyi County is a city under Pingyang County.After Jiang Wei and Huo Yi defeated Chen Tai, Liu Lin took the opportunity to capture Linfen.Under Jiang Wei's order, he went eastward and surrendered all the cities under Jiangyi's rule within one day.

At the same time, Jiang Wei, after defeating Chen Tai, asked the captives and learned that Sima Yi had sent troops to Shangdang and was about to go to Hedong. Wait for the city.

Then Jiang Wei considered that Yicheng was the throat of Hedong's connection with Shangdang, so he urgently ordered Liu Lin to lead [-] soldiers to station in Yicheng to be careful of Sima Yi's reinforcements.If you find its trace, report it to Linfen, and Jiang Wei will gather soldiers to come to help.

As for Yicheng, it was a city located between the gaps in Zhongtiao Mountain. If Hedong wanted to contact Shangdang, he had to pass through Yicheng, take the Zhongtiao Mountain Road, reach Duanshi County in Bishui, and continue walking on the mountain road to reach Shangdang.

This road is the shortest road from Shangdang to Hedong, and the historical battle of Changping also took place here.In other words, Liu Lin occupied Yicheng, which blocked Sima Yi's way to rescue Hedong.

Chen Gui turned pale with shock, and asked, "Teacher, didn't Chen Tai send a letter saying that Jiang Wei would be defeated before? Why is the army suddenly defeated now? Even Yicheng was occupied by the bandits."

Sima Yi observed the arrangement of the Han army, and said with emotion: "Soldiers are dangerous. Chen Tai, relying on his large number of soldiers, saw through Jiang Wei's strategy several times, and went to battle with pride. However, when the two armies fought with swords and swords, the soldiers may have Failure to catch, or the bravery of the Han army may turn the tide of the battle."

"If the Grand Tutor said that Chen Bingzhou had already been defeated, what should our army do next? Or break through the city to rescue Hedong?" Chen Gui asked a little at a loss.

After watching the defense of the city for a while, Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Although Liu Lin is not a general, he is also a veteran general. Seeing how the defense of the city is properly laid out, it may be difficult to break the city."

While speaking, Sima Yi really hoped that Liu Lin would be stupid and lead his army out of the city to defend the mountain, but this is almost impossible.Now Sima Yi is in a difficult situation. If he doesn't attack Yicheng now, he won't be able to rescue Hedong.If attacking the city, according to his observation, Yicheng is not so easy to chew.

While thinking, the scout came with the mountain people, and said: "I want to report to the master, we have captured a mountain person who has collected firewood for the bandit army, and he may know a little bit about the movement of the bandit army and the battle in the east of the river."

The mountain people said tremblingly: "When I was collecting firewood for them, I heard the soldiers gossiping and praising the mighty governor, beheading Chen Tai, Dading Hedong, and maybe returning to the country soon..."

Listening to the mountain people detailing what he knew, Sima Yi's face became more serious.He didn't expect that the battle in Hedong was more critical than he expected. Chen Tai was not only defeated, but was beheaded by the Han army led by Jiang Wei.Even the main general died. It is not difficult to imagine the current situation in Hedong. Those counties and counties basically fell into the hands of the big man.

Waving his hand, he motioned to take the mountain people down. Sima Yi said with a sullen face, "Chen Tai died in battle, and Hedong has been taken over by bandits. Now An Neng can save him. There is no one in Bingzhou, so now Taiyuan and Shangdang should be guarded." , as a barrier in Hebei. If Taiyuan and Shangdang are occupied by thieves, our Great Wei will perish!"

Sima Yi leaned on the ground with his sword, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Cao Shuang, you are indeed a sinner of the Great Wei! If you fail to attack Jingzhou, you will lose the east of the river instead."

Sima Yi couldn't tolerate such a big reaction. The population of Hedong was comparable to that of Bingzhou.In the future, as long as the big Han captures Shangdang or Luoyang, the entire hinterland of the Central Plains will be exposed to the front of the big Han. At that time, Cao Wei is really in danger of destroying the country.

In history, the Battle of Changping caused Qin to occupy Shangdang and Taiyuan, laying the foundation for Qin Shihuang to unify the six kingdoms.Or the Battle of Pingyang when the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty. The point was not that the Northern Zhou Dynasty captured Jinyang, but that the Northern Qi monarch Gao Wei gave up Jinyang and Shangdang and rushed to Yecheng, which made the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty lose its barrier. thus be destroyed.

Just to make a joke, if Sima Yi leads the crowd to surrender to the Shu Han, as the leading party, let the Shu Han capture Shangdang.Liu Chan can take advantage of the situation and enter the Central Plains, and he will be able to unify the north in as little as one year and as long as three years.

"Could it be that the Taifu is joking, the current situation is really so serious?" Chen Gui asked in disbelief.

"You do not understand!"

Sima Yi sighed, turned and went down the mountain, and said: "Order the whole army to retreat, build camps, and deploy defenses in Zhongtiao. A certain person led ten thousand people to go north along Bishui to appease Taiyuan and other Bingzhou counties. Let Yecheng urgently dispatch troops and horses to garrison. Party, Taiyuan, to resist the Han Chinese taking the opportunity to invade Shangdang."

The troops led by Chen Tai are Bingzhou sergeants, although they don't know the specific damage situation.But it must be a heavy loss. If the people and gentry of Bingzhou are not appeased at this time, Bingzhou will be in danger!

Therefore, for Sima Yi, it is more important to appease the shaken Bingzhou than to rescue the lost Hedong.

"promise!"
