Chapter 896: Correct Judgment
This requires Cao Liang to make a correct judgment, if Sima Yi's goal is to go to the party, then with the current strength of the party, it is really not enough, and it is necessary to reinforce immediately, but if Sima Yi's goal is Hedong, the current deployment is just right, and there is no need to make any adjustments.

Cao Liang took a deep breath, the judgment at this time is extremely important, and it is related to the success or failure of the decisive battle.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Liang's body, waiting for him to make a final decision, at this time, the pressure on Cao Liang's body increased significantly, this is the most critical decisive battle, and no decision-making mistakes are allowed.
Judging from the intelligence obtained so far, almost all the men and horses of Sima Jun are concentrated in Hanoi County, if the leader of the army is replaced by other people, maybe Cao Liang has already issued an order to reinforce the party at this moment, but now it is Sima Yi who leads the army, Cao Liang has to have concerns, Sima Yi's treachery with troops, has to be guarded against!
No matter from which point of view, using a large-scale cavalry to attack Shangdang, is not the best choice, first of all, you have to pass through the Shimen Pass or Yangjiban two strategic passes, the current vanguard of the Changshui battalion, has been firmly stuck there, Sima Jun wants to break through, must first defeat the Changshui battalion, only have the opportunity to enter the party, such a dangerous terrain, only the advantage in numbers is not enough, 70,000 cavalry, there is almost no use.
Cao Liang felt that with Sima Yi's shrewdness, he would definitely not do such a loss-making business, so why did he want to Chen Bing Hanoi instead of taking the initiative to march into Hedong? This is probably Sima Yi's suspicious formation, gathering heavy troops in Hanoi, attracting the defense of the Bingzhou army, and then shaking a false qiang, turning to Hedong, so that the defense of the Jinzhong and Bingzhou armies will be empty, and the Sima army can directly attack Jinyang. ∵ Eight ∵ Eight ∵ Read ∵ Books, .↗.▲o
Although the Bingzhou army can also be mobilized with the transfer of the Sima army, but if the enemy leads the nose in this way, then the battle situation will be too passive, in terms of troops, the Sima army occupies an absolute advantage, if the enemy can not anticipate the first opportunity, the entire battle situation will be in a disadvantageous position.
The first strike, the latter is controlled by others, the battle has not yet begun, it has entered the stage of fighting wits and courage, and an opponent like Sima Yi competes, Cao Liang must play with the spirit of twelve points, because a little negligence, it is likely to be doomed.
Cao Liang insisted on his own judgment, believing that Sima Yi's gathering of troops and horses in Hanoi was just a bluff, and his real target of attack must not be Shangdang County, so the current deployment of Bingzhou was just right, and there was no need to make any adjustments.
Since Cao Liang has made a decision on his marriage, then the strategists did not say anything, but from their eyes, they still saw some worried looks, if Cao Liang made a mistake in judgment, then the party would inevitably be in danger.
Cao Liang is calm, after all, the party and Wang Jun Changshui Camp are not, even if Sima Yi changes his strategy, gives up Hedong, and is determined to fight the party, Changshui Camp is definitely not a hard bone that he can easily gnaw down, Cao Liang still has this self-confidence.
Even if Wang Jun is really defeated, Cao Liang has other plans, the war is never based on the gains and losses of one city and one place to determine the outcome of the war, and taking into account the overall situation is the most important, so Cao Liang issued an order to all armies to prepare for battle, so that they can be ready for battle at any time and remain on standby at all times.
A few days later, a battle report came from Shimen Pass, and Sima Jun's brigade began to attack Shimen Pass, and Wang Jun personally came to the front line to command and stop the enemy at Shimen Pass.
With the strength of the Sima army gathered in Hanoi, the number of men and horses can exceed the Changshui battalion several times, but fortunately, the terrain of Shimen Pass is dangerous, and no matter how many soldiers and horses can be used, so the Sima army can only concentrate some elite troops with strong combat effectiveness and take the lead in launching an attack, trying to break through Shimen Pass and open a gate to enter Shangdang County.
This seems to be a replica of the first battle of the Shangdang, which was also the time when the Bingzhou army held the Shimen Pass, where the two sides fought fiercely.
The only difference is that at that time, the Sima army was out in three ways, in addition to the main force to attack Shimen Pass, two other teams were also sent to attack in the east and west, but Cao Liang seized the opportunity and broke through each one.
Obviously, this time Sima Jun also learned the lesson of the last time, and did not adopt the strategy of separate attacks and combined attacks, and sent two other teams of men and horses to attack Shimen Pass alone.
Compared with the haste of the last battle of Shimen, at this time, the Bingzhou army had already built a fairly solid defensive pass in Shimen Pass, with tall and strong walls and fortresses, and complete defensive facilities, it was no longer that kind of half-toned fortification, and it was not so easy for Sima Jun to rely on the numerical superiority.
In the last battle of Shimen, Sima Jun almost used his head to pile up such a record, but this time, Wang Jun would not give them such a chance again.
Wang Jun had already asked Jinyang for reinforcements, but he got a reply that there were no reinforcements, and Cao Liang's order to Wang Jun was to let him hold his position, and he must not retreat when he was forced to do so.
After Wang Jun received the order, he gasped, there were no reinforcements, this battle was indeed not easy to fight, but no matter how difficult the battle was, Wang Jun never flinched, and he didn't ask why he didn't send him reinforcements, because Cao Liang's side was to make arrangements at the strategic level, maybe other places were more important than Shimen Pass.
Sima Jun's attack was very fierce, they relied on the superiority of their troops, launched round after round of fierce attacks, this is completely no feint attack, every round of attack, is to do their best, if it is not for the influence of the terrain, I am afraid that this mountain is all over the field, will be Sima Yi's army.
The Changshui battalion was in full array, they prepared a large number of bows and arrows and crossbows, once the Sima army approached the range, they would not hesitate to attack, the dense arrows made the Sima army corpses all over the field, but they could not stop the advance of the Sima soldiers, and the two sides fell into a fierce tug-of-war at Shimen Pass.
Cao Liang paid close attention to the battle at Shimen Pass, and the six hundred miles of urgent battle reports would be sent to Jinyang almost every few hours, and the more fierce the battle at Shimen Pass, the more anxious the strategists of the state army became, all of which showed that Sima Yi would attack again in accordance with the steps of the first battle of the party, and at this moment, there was no movement on the side of Hedong County, could it be said that Cao Liang's judgment this time was really wrong? 11.
