But what is unbelievable is that Zhu Ran's first order when he took office was to evacuate the troops of Shiting and Longfeng, and withdraw the troops originally stationed in these two places to Wancheng and Wankou.

As soon as this order was given, everyone was in an uproar, didn't this give up defense and open the door for the Wei people's attack?

In this way, wouldn't Wancheng, an important town in Jiangbei, be directly exposed to the iron hooves of Wei, and there would be no danger to defend, and once Wancheng was lost, it would be a heavy blow to Dongwu.

People were puzzled by Zhu Ran's actions, and when Zhuge Ke was in office, he set up heavy troops in Shiting and Long Feng, strictly guarded and defended to the death, and did not dare to slack off.

But Zhu Ran was good, he simply gave up these two important places, and no one knew what Zhu Ran's true strategic intentions were.

But Zhu Ran was confident and confident in his plan.

Zhu Ran believes that after months of fighting, the two sides are already extremely exhausted, and there is not much strength to fight again, and it can be seen from the Wei army's delay in holding the troops after conquering Jiashi, and now Sima Yi's desire to attack is not so strong, and he can't even see his intention to march.

The reason why Sima Yi did not retreat is because the two sides have been in a stalemate and confrontation, if Sima Yi chooses to withdraw at this time, he will definitely be counterattacked by the Wu army, so the two sides are simply frozen here, you don't move, I don't move.

After Zhu Ran took office, this thing was to withdraw his troops, show the enemy weakness, no longer station troops and confrontation on the front front, and try to withdraw the army to the south and retreat to the hinterland of Wu.

However, Zhu Ran did not retreat outright, but strengthened the defense of the two important military towns of Wancheng and Wankou, even if the Wu people came to attack, they wanted to conquer these two cities that were well prepared and well-fed, and they would also try to climb to the sky.

Of course, the biggest advantage of retreating is that the front line confrontation between the two sides is lifted, and the armies of both sides are buffered. After the Wu army withdrew, the possibility of a counterattack was greatly reduced due to the distance from the Jiashi front.

To tell the truth, Zhu Ran did not have the intention of counterattacking to recapture the stone, the stone road is steep and natural, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Wu army storms the stone, the gain outweighs the loss.

Now Zhu Ran is putting on a defensive posture to show weakness, that is, intentionally or unintentionally, he wants to make peace with Sima Yi, as long as both sides take a step back, this war can be regarded as an end.

As for the two sides to fight again in the future, that is another matter, anyway, it has become a common practice for Wu and Wei to fight every three years and five years, and no one knows when the next war will start.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Sima Yi actually waited for the Wu army to send a clear signal to strike the war, before Zhuge Ke retreated to Shiting and Longfeng, although it was a defensive frame, but it was a defensive position, once there was any change in the stone, Zhuge Ke was likely to send troops at the first time, ready to recapture the stone.

In the face of Zhuge Ke's aggressive posture, Sima Yi certainly did not dare to take it lightly, so although there were no more large-scale conflicts between Wei and Wu, it was necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times.

In fact, after taking Jiashi, the desire to fight on both sides has weakened a lot, and this war is already coming to an end, but Zhuge Ke is unwilling to put on a posture of preparing to attack, and Sima Yi naturally refuses to retreat.

Jiashi is the Wei army hard work to get, Sima Yi naturally will not give up easily, in the few months stationed in Jiashi, Sima Yi did not rest in vain, but sent people to rebuild the ghost stream, the Wu army's original camp changed to a pass, greatly improved its defensive ability.

The original ghost sorrowful stream is just an extremely dangerous mountain pass, where the Wu army is temporarily stationed, and even the camp is now encamped, no wonder Hu Fen disguised himself as Wu Bing, and after successfully approaching the Wu army's camp, he easily broke through the Wu army's camp.

This is of course related to the weak garrison of the Wu army, but the main reason is that there is an essential difference between the wooden gate structure of the camp and the masonry rammed earth structure of the city wall, if the Wu army builds a fortress in the Guichou Stream, let alone 3,000 people, or only 1,000 people, can easily block the Wei army from the pass.

But when Zhuge Ke withdrew his troops to the Ghost Stream, he was in a hurry, and he could only reluctantly set up camp and defend the village, and there was no time and conditions to build a fortress.

And Sima Yi now has time, so he is not in a hurry to build Jiashi Pass, and build Jiashi Pass as the first line of defense of Yuwu.

When building the stone pass, the Wu army took local materials, mined the stone of Dabie Mountain, in order to build it, saving time, effort and money, not to mention, the stone city wall can be called the strongest city wall, with the weapons used by both sides at present, even the most powerful weapon catapult can not shake its cent.

Jiashi Pass was built on the original site of the Ghost Sorrow Stream, relying on the dangerous terrain, the gate is as strong as iron, and it can completely crush any attack of the Wu army.

The reason why Sima Yi built Jiashi Pass was completely built in accordance with the standard of the first pass on the Wei-Wu front, that is to say, Sima Yi did not really plan to attack Wancheng, and Jiashi was already the forefront of the defense line reached by the Wei army.

This war was provoked by Wu, and Wei was in a defensive state, and at this stage of the war, the Wei army had subdued all the territories occupied by Wu, and captured Jiashi, which was equivalent to the Wei army taking back the capital with interest.

When the war is fought to this extent, it may already be accepted when it is good, after all, in terms of the various preparations of the Wei army, it is not ready to fight an infinite war at all.

And the introduction of the war into the territory of Wu will inevitably expand the war and direct the war in an unknowable direction.

Sima Yi's task this time is to recover the land of Huainan and expel the Wu army from Huainan, in the original plan, there is no plan to prepare to take advantage of the victory and counterattack, if Sima Yi changes the plan now, it will inevitably increase the burden of logistics supply for the Wei army.

If there is no adequate preparation, it is impossible for Sima Yi to send troops into the Wu realm to attack Wancheng, an important town of Wu.

If it is just to send a small team to raid the city of Anhui, this is not too much of a problem, but if the army of more than 100,000 people all advances and starts a large-scale war with the Wu army, this is another concept.

Without the establishment of a properly functioning logistics support system, Sima Yi would not have easily launched the southern expedition.
