Whether Sima Yi was beaten or not has probably become an unsolved case on the grassland. Sima Yi was beaten, and so were the soldiers who followed him. Cao Zhang's no, and the Wei army under Cao Zhang's hands didn't have Sakura, but whether there was or not, Sima Yi went back with a group of soldiers with blue noses and swollen faces, and even he himself was beaten and his eyes were swollen.

The professional painter painted the tragic situation of Sima Yi and the soldiers, and the painting was extremely miserable. Then it was posted everywhere in the grassland, and there was a posture that there was no place to complain. What was originally a very normal confrontation between friend and foe turned into a debate on war ethics under Sima Yi's planning.

Is it the right thing to run to the bottom of the other party's city and scold them for no reason? Is there a suspicion of bullying the weak after scolding someone and then beating them?

Regardless of the facts, or the brutal nature of the war itself. Many ghosts in the underworld began to show their support to Sima Yi, of course, they would not go to fight, it was very comfortable to watch others fight, but it was not so comfortable to play themselves.

Sima Yi didn't dare to play too much, and didn't do anything after posting the portrait. There are some things that can't be hidden from ghosts, but can't be hidden from immortals. If Yan Jun is provoked to come out and debunk him, he will be burned.

Cao Cao was a little troubled by his hand, the pasture does not produce grain, does not grow vegetables, and many supplies have to be purchased from outside. But after this happened, many businessmen who had originally cooperated began to boycott him, although they did not cut off his supply, but the price also rose by 30%. What could have been bought for ten cents now costs thirteen. If you have money, you can't stand this anger!

"Cao Zhang, let me ask you, did you fight back?"

Cao Zhang didn't dare to look at his father's face, lowered his head and said very heartily: "No, I just follow the order and scold every time I go to the city." I wanted to attack the city, but I was persuaded by the lieutenant general. We were all cavalry, and we had no siege equipment, so we couldn't fight, so we took our men back to the camp. Sima Yi led people out, and I also had the idea of fighting back, but as soon as I turned around, they ran away, and I couldn't catch anyone at all. ”

Cao Cao nodded, his stupid son was cheated by Sima Yi, and he knew that it would be better to let Cheng Yu follow him. The muscles are developed, and the brain is lacking zero. Cao Pi is smart enough, but this unfilial son actually moved out for himself, and he hasn't come back once yet. Cao Zhi's literary style is good, but he can't fight a war, these sons are really not worry-free.

"Let's pick up the tiger and leopard ride, since this matter is no longer clear, I will simply start bulldozing Sima Yi. is to take revenge on the grievances of the world, and ask Guo Jia to prepare a text. It's troublesome when there is a war in the world, but I didn't expect to do these written skills in the underworld. ”

Cao Zhang raised his head and suggested: "The infantry should also bring some, as well as siege equipment, or it will be a trouble to attack the city." ”

"Well, according to yours, go down and prepare. ”

Cao Zhang turned around and went out to arrange, and Cao Cao sat alone on the seat, thinking about the situation of this battle. Sima Yi had a family business in the underworld because of the support of the Han family, and he had been disturbed so many times before, but he was silent, why did he dare to come forward this time? Could it be that this time it was the plan of the old Liu family? If this is the case, he must also guard against the invasion of the Han army.

After thinking about it, he wrote a letter to Sun Ce, asking him to fulfill his obligations as an ally and jointly send troops. By the way, the city defense was strengthened to prevent the Han army from coming.

As soon as the letter was burned, Cao Zhang ran back in a hurry.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Panic, what kind of system." It's all arranged?"

"Father, the big thing is not good, Sima Yi has led the troops to the city?"

"What? How dare he come over? How many men did he bring with him? How many cavalry did he have? Do you have siege equipment?"

"There were a lot of people, 50,000 of them, 15,000 of the cavalry, and the rest were infantry, and the siege equipment was complete. ”

Cao Cao couldn't sit still, jumped up, and said: "Immediately beat the drums and gather the generals, gather the tiger and leopard cavalry to prepare for the attack, and the archers quickly go to the city to set up defenses." ”

In a panic, the city defense affairs were finally arranged, and Cao Cao took a group of civil and military generals to the top of the city to watch Sima Yi's formation.

Sima Yi was not in a hurry, and never gave the order to attack the city. Rather, it was an array on the spot, one hundred and fifty paces away from the city, to prevent the cold arrows of the archers.

Cao Cao recognized Sima Yi from afar, this talented man who was forcibly recruited by him. Now he has also become a hegemon, and he has learned his own way in the world, and he has coerced his son to order the princes. He was able to endure it, endured himself, endured Cao Pi, and endured Cao Ei. It wasn't until Cao Shuang revealed his flaws that he showed his ambitions and seized the power of the government in one fell swoop. forcibly recruited such talents, Cao Cao didn't know whether his vision was too good or too bad.

shouted to Sima Yi from afar: "Zhongda, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, don't you come to talk to me?"

One hundred and fifty steps away, Cao Cao's words were already a little faint in Sima Yi's ears, but Sima Yi still heard his shouting clearly.

A group of infantrymen, holding shields, escorted him fifty paces forward and stopped. Sima Yi shouted: "Gong Cao, I haven't seen you for many years, you have always been good?"

Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan on the side, and Xiahou Yuan shook his head at him. At a distance of a hundred paces, the opponent has a shield, which is difficult to shoot with a bow and arrow.

Cao Cao smiled and shouted to Sima Yi: "After I died, it was okay, and my headache was much lighter." Zhong Da, when I recruited you to be an official, I was also kind to you, so why did I oppose my descendants? If there is anything unspeakable, you can be clear to me, and I should repay you justice. ”

"Haha, why should Gong Cao bother me! Now that you and I are in the underworld, the world has become a fixed situation, and we are powerless to intervene. With Cao Gong's heart, he must have hated me to the bone at this moment, how can he give me justice. ”

Cao Cao's face did not change, and he still smiled: "Zhongda has a deep misunderstanding with me, I want to pay attention to talents, and when did I wronged my courtiers because of my own family." ”

"Didn't the public forget Xu Yu and Xu Ziyuan? Back then, Xu Yu offered a plan, and there was a victory in Guandu, what happened to his people?"

"I also deeply regret Xu Ziyuan's incident. His soldiers were angry that he was not inferior in his words, so they took it upon themselves to kill him, and by the time I learned about it, it was too late. ”

Sima Yi shouted loudly: "I'd rather teach me to bear people than teach people to bear me." Cao Gong, how dare I believe you. ”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Zhongda, you and I are too far away, and I can't hear you clearly, so you might as well come closer, or I will go out of the city to see you." When you meet old friends, you should have a drink together!"

"Haha! No need, Gong Cao, when I conquer this Luoyang City, you and I won't be too late to drink!"

After that, a group of foot soldiers escorted Sima Yi back.

Cao Cao clenched his fists and slammed them the city wall. said: "Sima Yi is bluffing, his strength is not enough, and the soldiers under his command are all Han army clothes." With Liu Bang and Liu Bei's anger, it is impossible to give him elite soldiers. The three armies went out of the city, and the tiger and leopard rode out of the way, and destroyed this thief outside the Luoyang Gate for me. ”

"Yes!" the generals responded in unison and went down in turn to lead the troops.

Cao Chun, as the main general of the tiger and leopard cavalry, took the lead and rushed to the front with a group of cavalry. Cao Zhang and Cao Ren respectively led ordinary cavalry to guard the two wings, Xiahou Yuan sat in the middle army, and Dian Wei was behind. Tens of thousands of Wei troops swarmed out and slaughtered Sima Yi's army.

Seeing the Wei army leaving the city, Sima Yi hurriedly abandoned the siege equipment, broke off the rear with infantry, and retreated while blocking the attack. The elite of the soldiers is evident when the two sides come into contact. The tiger and leopard cavalry easily penetrated Sima Yi's defensive line, and the infantry who stayed behind to block it scattered like birds and beasts, and each fled for his life. For fear of running slowly, he will be caught up by the Wei army, although there is no danger of death, but it is not a good thing to be beaten, it is all to earn some money to support the family, there is no need to fight so hard.

The Wei army also had the same idea, the generals only pursued the enemy, and they didn't know what to do with the deserters, and they didn't give orders, so no one took the prisoners, and they fled separately. They are all the same professions, they know the hardships of being a soldier, and there is no need to be embarrassed to be a soldier.

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he saw that the situation was good. Said: "It's a pity that in the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there are many intelligent people such as Chen Ping and Zhuge who don't know how to use soldiers. ”

Guo Jia asked, "Why did the lord say this?"

Cao Cao explained: "This time my army is exhausted, and there are only guards left in the city, if I attack the city with infantry again, even if I don't resist it, I can be humiliated like me." If you don't use such an opportunity, don't you know how to use soldiers? ”

Guo Jiayuan is not as optimistic as Cao Cao, and has fought against Chen Ping and Zhuge Liang a few times before. They knew each other, and they were a little worried: "The lord can't despise the opponent, Chen Ping is good at using tricks, and Zhuge Liang is good at strategy." It is still not advisable for the army to be too far away from the city, so it is better to call the generals back. ”

Although Cao Cao was conceited, he also knew that the enemy was not as difficult to deal with as in his own words, so he just said a few derogatory words on a whim. At this moment, I just borrowed Guo Jia's steps to come down. Said: "Okay, then according to Fengxiao's words, call the generals back to the city." ”

Guo Jia was about to ask someone to give an order, but he heard a formation of horses' hooves in the distance, and countless Han troops guarded the Chinese army and rushed to the front of the city.

The Han army did not have the intention of attacking the city, but dug fortifications on the spot and lined up on both sides with cavalry.

Guo Jia secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "Lord, the Han army seems to be going to attack the generals, and the order is too late, so it is better to burn the letter and ask the generals to bypass the Han army and return from other city gates." ”

Cao Cao also saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly called to send messages left and right. He also asked Xu Chu, who stayed in the city, to arrange to defend the city and be ready to meet the attack of the Han army at any time.

Liu Bang looked at the city from afar, that was Cao Cao? He really didn't look very pleasing, and this kind of person could also ruin the foundation of his Han family? Liu Zhi and Liu Hong were really not angry.

Chen Ping walked behind him and said, "Your Majesty, the Wei army has given up the pursuit of Sima Yi and has gone around one direction to return to the army. ”

Liu Bang nodded and said: "It's no different from what we expected, let them go back to the city, the infantry will continue to dig fortifications, the cavalry will disperse, and the scouts will be scattered for hundreds of miles to prevent the Wu army from galloping to help." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The Wei army withdrew unharmed to the city of Luoyang, and Cao Cao was also relieved. It's just that the Han army under the city has not dispersed, and is still digging fortifications, and expanding from one side to four sides, as if to dig a big pit around Luoyang.

Cao Cao was a little confused by the behavior of the Han army, and for the first time he saw such a battle, he did not attack the city or disturb it, but dug a pit around the city.

"Fengxiao, can you see the intentions of the Han army?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "I don't understand, the Han army's move is too strange." Or to be quiet, and send a message to Sun Ce, asking him to lead the Wu army to support, no matter what the intentions of the Han army are, there is always a preparation. ”

Cao Cao agreed with his Fa and asked Sun Ce to burn a letter.
