It is true that Shangdang County is relatively close to Luoyang, but the geographical topography of Shangdang is relatively complex, surrounded by mountains, and the middle is a basin, even if it is a basin, it is not all flat, most of the places are hilly and undulating, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal. ∵ Eight ∵ Eight ∵ Read ∵ Books, .↗.▲o

This kind of terrain, relatively speaking, is more conducive to defense, but not conducive to offense, the last battle of the party, Sima Yi just suffered a loss on the terrain, Cao Liang took advantage of the home field, the east and the west, and completely led Sima Jun's nose, so that Sima Yi fought this battle very aggrieved, not to mention the heavy losses, and failed to get the results he wanted.

Although it is said that because of the rebellion of Yanzhou Linghu Yu, Sima Yi had to take the initiative to withdraw from Shangdang, but when he gathered forces again to prepare for the second attack on the state, Sima Yi still had lingering palpitations and decided to give up attacking Shangdang and instead went up from the northeast of the river to take Jinyang.

Compared with the complex terrain of Shangdang, the road to Hedong is relatively flat, and such terrain is also conducive to the action of cavalry, so after determining the offensive strategy based on cavalry, Sima Yi decided to set the route of the second attack and annexation of the state in Hedong County.

The training of the cavalry is being carried out in an orderly manner, after adopting the mode of mixing the old and new cavalry, the effect of the training of recruits is quite good, in the training, basically can be realized with one belt and one belt, so that the level of recruits is taught hand in hand, and the level of recruits is indeed very fast.

Sima Yi ruled the army for many years, in the training of recruits, it does have its own uniqueness, before the expedition to Huainan, Yanzhou's assembled army seventy percent were recruits, Sima Yi only took a few months, to complete the task of others for one or even two years, and put this army into actual combat, and finally won the battle of Huainan.

Although the training of cavalry is much more complicated than that of infantry, there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, Sima Yi's rich experience can play a decisive role here, and the new cavalry is growing rapidly, and it is already very close to meeting the requirements of actual combat.

It is hard to imagine that an old man who is over seventy years old appears in the school field every day, rain or shine, which shows how much attention Sima Yi attaches to this attack and the state.

Although Sima Shi and Sima Zhao have been persuading hard, saying that it is enough to have them watching on the school field, and let Sima Yi rest well at home, Sima Yi ignored their advice at all, and still went his own way and was obsessed with the school field.

Because Sima Yi knows very well that this battle is likely to be the last battle of his life, it can be said that success or failure is here, and the cavalry troops will become the top priority of this battle, and they will determine the final victory or defeat of this battle, so in the training of cavalry, Sima Yi almost spared no effort.

Cao Liang is already the number one strong enemy of the Sima family, and it will also be a threshold for the Sima family to stand on behalf of Wei.

Sima Yi has been fighting for most of his life for Sima to be able to ascend to the Ninety-Five Honor, and he has worshiped for twenty-four years, so he is almost trembling, how can he let it fall off the chain at this critical time?

Therefore, at this time, Sima Yi naturally went to the school every day, and found that even if it was the slightest problem, he would ask the generals in charge of the drill to correct it.

Although the effect of the drill was far greater than expected, Sima Yi was not prepared to rush into the army, a year of training time was his minimum requirement, and he was not ready to attack until he had trained a crack cavalry.

Cao Liang's cavalry, most of them are experienced in a hundred battles, extremely rich in combat experience, in the face of such an opponent, of course Sima Yi did not dare to be careless, even if his cavalry could not be compared with the Bingzhou cavalry in terms of combat experience, but in terms of individual and overall combat effectiveness, it must not be inferior.

The most important thing is the quantity, this time Sima Yi tried his best to expand the cavalry, that is, he wanted to form a crushing trend against the Bingzhou cavalry through the advantage of numbers, and no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou cavalry is, it is difficult to achieve one enemy two or one enemy three.

Of course, in addition to paying attention to the drill of the cavalry, Sima Yi also made every effort to carry out strategic deployment, mobilizing the army of Youzhou and Jizhou to attack and merge the state, which is an important part of Sima Yi's strategic deployment.

Time is always fair, Sima Yi is training the army at the same time, and the state army is of course impossible to rest, they are also actively training and stepping up preparations for war.

In order to disrupt the strategic deployment of the Bingzhou army, Sima Yi launched a feint on the eastern front, trying to attract the attention of the Bingzhou army and shift the strategic defense center of the Bingzhou army to the eastern front.

Obviously, Sima Yi's strategic arrangement was very successful, in order to resist the invasion of the Youzhou army, the shooting battalion of the state army has been transferred to Yanmen County for defense, and in order to deal with the attack of the Jizhou army, the left guard battalion has been transferred to Weize Pass, and the right guard battalion has also been transferred to Leping, strengthening the defense of the flank of Weize Pass.

The biggest credit for this is naturally Lu Zhao's, who led the soldiers and horses of Jizhou and continuously launched a fierce attack on Weize Pass, forcing Cao Liang to put his elite troops into the defense of Weize's line.

Wei Ze Pass is the east gate of the state, once lost, the Sima army can drive straight in, attack Jinyang, so the battle for Wei Ze Pass is extremely important, absolutely not to be lost, and the state army continues to increase troops to Wei Ze Pass, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation.

This result was naturally what Sima Yi was willing to see, and the eastward shift of the defensive center of gravity of the Bingzhou army provided great convenience for him to realize his plan to raid Jinyang, that is, Biqiu Jian in northern Jin deliberately delayed the attack and seriously dragged his feet, otherwise, the eastern and northern fronts of the Bingzhou army would be even more tight.

In the blink of an eye, it was winter again, and it stands to reason that winter is a period of truce, but Sima Yi ordered that the fighting on the eastern and northern fronts could not be stopped, and continued to increase the intensity of the offensive, even if it really got the winter break, Sima Yi would never stop the offensive, he wanted to use this way to constantly harass and destroy Cao Liang's strategic deployment, and lay a good foundation for the general offensive launched early next year.

In short, Sima Yi just wanted to constantly put pressure on Cao Liang, destroy his defense system, disrupt his rhythm, and let Cao Liang tear down the east wall and make up the west wall by himself, tired of coping, and before the decisive battle came, he had already collapsed. 11.
