It's a pity that the division was unsuccessful, and the two armies were annihilated in succession, which was equivalent to knocking Sima Yi twice in a row, which made Sima Yi taste the bitterness that he had not seen for a long time.

Now Sima Yi has to re-examine this battle, is it his own use of non-human? Obviously, this is not the reason, whether it is Chen Tai or Hu Zun, in terms of leadership ability, they are both talented generals, and the reason why they suffered a fiasco can only be said to be stronger among the stronger.

The tactics used by Cao Liang, to put it bluntly, are not special, concentrating superior forces and breaking them individually, this is completely copying the tactics of Sun Tzu's Art of War, but Sun Tzu's so-called concentration of superior forces in the Art of War has a premise, that is, ten are to encircle it and five to attack it, that is to say, if you want to fight a war of annihilation, you must have at least five times ten times the number of troops.

Does the state army have so many soldiers and horses?

According to the results of the scouts, Cao Liang's troops gathered in Shangdang, that is, more than 50,000 people, these more than 50,000 people, if they want to fight a war of annihilation, they first divide troops to block reinforcements, and there are not many troops really invested in the war of annihilation, even if it is slightly higher than Chen Tai's 20,000 people and Hu Zun's 30,000 people, but it is also very high.

Without enough troops, what confidence does Cao Liang have to fight a war of annihilation?

Unless Cao Liang has a higher combat power, in the same number of army battles, he has the strength to crush the opponent.

According to the information fed back by Chen Tai and Hu Fen, it was the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army that defeated them this time.

The Xiao cavalry battalion of the Bingzhou cavalry is the seesaw among the cavalry of the Wei army, and the same as its combat strength is the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion of the fifth school of the Northern Army.

In the long-term competition with the Xiongnu Xianbei people, the combat power of the Bingzhou cavalry has been significantly improved, but since then the Bingzhou cavalry can really dominate the world, Sima Yi does not agree, he believes that although the combat power of the Bingzhou cavalry is strong, it does not have absolute combat power, and the infantry can still have the power to resist.

But the fact is that the Bingzhou cavalry used their strength to slap Sima Yi in the face, and in the battle of Wanzicheng and Baishuichuan, Cao Liang used the cavalry to defeat Chen Tai and Hu Zun, which also refreshed Sima Yi's cognition.

Before this, Sima Yi would never have imagined that the cavalry could still fight like this, two battles in three days, and the results were remarkable, and it seemed that it was time to revisit the offensive plan this time.

Taking Shimen Pass means that Sima Jun has the opportunity to enter Shangdang, and the entry of 100,000 troops into Shangdang will also completely change the situation in Shangdang.

However, Sima Yi's plan to divide and attack was a failure, and the next battle would also become a decisive battle between the army led by Sima Yi and Cao Liang's team.

It is no longer possible to divide the troops to advance, perhaps Cao Liang's army is still waiting for Sima Yi to make a mistake, so Sima Yi's branch Sima Shi should not advance lightly, let him wait at Shimen Pass for Sima Jun's follow-up troops to meet with him, and then march.

Sima Yi was sharp-eyed, and the defeat of Chen Tai and Hu Zun meant that Sima Shi would probably suffer the same fate if he advanced lightly, so he had to change his strategy.

Sima Shi was originally gathering his army and preparing to march to Gaodu, but Sima Yi's order forced him to pause and wait for the meeting with Sima Yi's army before continuing to advance towards Gaodu.

Originally, Sima Shi didn't understand Sima Yi's decision, but after learning about the fiasco of Chen Tai and Hu Zun, he naturally had nothing to say, and at the same time was deeply shocked.

Sima Shi has always been very unconvinced by Cao Liang, it is precisely because of each other's hatred that this time to enter the party, naturally Sima Shi has an impulse to compete directly with Cao Liang, in Sima Shi's opinion, after breaking through the stone gate pass and entering the party, his wish will be officially realized.

But when the news of the defeat of the eastern and western roads came, Sima Shi couldn't help but be shocked, and in all fairness, if Sima Shi himself was allowed to completely annihilate the opponent twice in three days, Sima Shi thought that he would never be able to do it.

In the past three days, Sima Shi only won Shimen Pass, and he relied on the opponent to send it, compared with Cao Liang's brilliant record, Sima Shi lost this air battle.

After waiting for two days, Sima Shi finally waited for the arrival of Sima Yi's main army, and 100,000 troops gathered at Shimen Pass, which was quite a spectacular scene of overcrowding.

When Sima Shi met Sima Yi, his mood was a little low, and he didn't have the joy of just winning Shimen Pass, and indeed, after seeing the gap with Cao Liang, Sima Shi could no longer have any proud costs, this time unless he could defeat Cao Liang in person, otherwise, the psychological shadow could not be eliminated.

Sima Yi is face is cold, the light revealed by those eagle eyes is gloomy and deep, making people have a chilling feeling, in Sima Shi's impression, Sima Yi has been a light and breezy expression for so many years, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, it may not be able to move him.

But at this moment, Sima Yi is like a great enemy, can it be said that this Cao Liang really makes Sima Yi the strongest enemy in his life?

After Sima Yi arrived at Shimen Pass, he immediately summoned all his generals, including Chen Tai and Hu Fen, who had just escaped from Yangjiban, and he laid out a new battle plan and offensive strategy, requiring all troops to obey this order and not make mistakes.

Sima Shi is still responsible for the vanguard, but his vanguard army is no longer an independent battle sequence, but as the front of the entire team, and now the army of 100,000 has discharged a long snake formation, and the various departments are connected to each other, holding each other, and no longer giving the enemy a chance to take advantage of.

Sima Yi studied Cao Liang's combat strategy, that is, to use the high-speed mobility ability of the cavalry to break the enemy, Sima Jun divided his troops and advanced, giving him an opportunity, and then such a mistake can not be made again, Sima Yi will connect the 100,000 army together, head to tail, in this way, Cao Liang wants to break each other, there is no chance.

After Sima's army was reorganized, he immediately went north from Shimen Pass and took Gaodu directly, intending to fight a decisive battle with the Bingzhou army in Gaodu.

The front of Sima Division's men and horses, and the follow-up large army is only more than ten miles apart from each other, he is responsible for the task of opening roads and building bridges in the mountains, but on this road, he has not encountered any enemies, even if it is some dangerous passes, there is no garrison of the state army. 、

After entering the Shangdang Basin, Sima Shi followed Sima Yi's orders and still adopted a step-by-step offensive strategy, slowly approaching Gaodu.

But after arriving in Gaodu, Sima Shi found that Gaodu turned out to be an empty city, not only the state army was nowhere to be found, but even the people of the whole city were nowhere to be seen.
