Chapter 250: Visitation
Sima Yi led the army to double the way, rushing all the way from Yiyang and rushing to Anfeng.
Sima Yi has fought countless battles in his life, and his many years of career have already allowed him to practice the ability to retract and release freely, stationed in Huaibei, and not moving, he can be quiet as a virgin, long-distance running Anfeng, double the road, he can do it if he takes off the rabbit, the fast is fast, the slow is slow, and he is not in a hurry.
When he raided Meng Da, Sima Yi used this trick, and the original journey of dozens of days made Sima Yi arrive at the new city in eight days.
The result is of course conceivable, Meng Da was caught off guard, and even the city fortifications were not completely built, how could he resist the enemy Sima Yi, who attacked the city, and finally the city was broken and captured, and he was beheaded in Luoyang.
Originally, Sima Yi was sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight this time, and he did not move his troops in Huaibei, but he did not expect Wang Ling to send troops first, disrupting Sima Yi's deployment, and Sima Yi had to march overnight, doubling the way, the purpose was to seize Wang Ling before and relieve the siege of Anfeng.
Although Wang Ling was much closer to An Feng than Sima Yi, Wang Ling had few soldiers and did not dare to advance lightly, so he adopted a step-by-step approach and moved forward cautiously, and his speed was naturally not comparable to Sima Yi's, so although Sima Yi went around in a big circle, he still rushed ahead of Wang Ling and arrived at the periphery of An Feng.
Hearing the news of the Wu army's retreat, Hu Zunniu Jin and other generals congratulated Sima Yi, praising Sima Yi's wisdom and martial arts, and the soldiers were there, and the Wu people were frightened, and even the courage to fight was gone.
Sima Yi smiled slightly, he knew very well that the reason why the Wu people retreated was because the combat situation and geographical conditions were unfavorable to the Wu army, the Wei army was attacked from the east and west, coupled with the soldiers and horses of Anfeng City, they could meet the inside and outside at any time, and once they clashed, the Wu army would inevitably be in danger of being attacked by the enemy on their backs.
The decisive withdrawal of troops at this time at least showed the courage of the commander of the Wu army.
For Sima Yi, being able to solve the siege of An Feng without blood is also a credit, although it is not enough to offset the responsibility for the defeat of An Fengdu, but at least Sima Yi's status is worry-free.
This is the most important thing for Sima Yi.
He sent scouts to inquire about Wang Ling's movements on the East Road from time to time, knowing that Wang Ling was at least half a day's journey behind him, Sima Yi was relieved, and he ordered his troops to arrive at Anfeng City immediately, set up camp, and ordered An Feng to guard Wang Ji and Zhengnan general Xiahou Xuan to come to meet him.
Sima Yi is the prince of the dynasty, and this time he is the governor of Pingnan, who is in charge of the power of soldiers and horses, so it is naturally impossible to go to Anfeng City to meet them, at least this score still has to be placed.
Wang Ji was cleaning the passage of the city gate in the main city at the moment, and when it was blocked, he was afraid that it would not be firm, and the Wei army filled all the stones and sand into the city gate and sealed the city gate to death, even if the siege vehicles of the Wu army were fierce, they could not shake the four gates of Anfeng City.
At this time, after the Wu army retreated, the Wei army began to carry sand and stones, and cleaned up these stones and sand, because the seal was too dead, the Wei soldiers cleaned up was also quite laborious, and finally cleaned up, just opened the city gate, and saw the Wei army herald galloping horses, and conveyed the military order of Sima Yi, the governor of the capital, to Wang Ji.
Wang Ji knew that Sima Yi led a large army to kill, but he didn't expect Sima Yi to come so quickly, listening to the report of the scout, Sima Yi's army was still fifty or sixty miles away, and under normal circumstances, it would take at least half a day to reach Anfeng City.
But Wang Jiwan didn't expect that Sima Yi's march speed could be called a god speed, and as soon as he opened the city gate after clearing up, Sima Yi had already arrived outside the city, and the speed was breathtaking.
Sima Yi ordered Wang Ji and Xiahou Xuan to go to meet him, Wang Ji was a little worried, there was no problem with going by himself, but Xiahou Xuan was seriously injured so far, and he couldn't get off the ground, how could he go to see Sima Yi?
Obviously, Sima Yi didn't know about Xiahou Xuan's situation, so he gave such an order.
But Cao Liang didn't think so, Xiahou Xuan was seriously injured when he broke through, and they didn't hide the news, even the Wu people knew that Sima Yi was scheming, and it was impossible for him to have no eyes and ears in the southern army, so it was impossible for him not to know about Xiahou Xuan's injury.
This time, he ordered Wang Ji and Xiahou Xuan to go, just deliberately pretending to be confused, so that others mistakenly thought that he had no idea about Xiahou Xuan's injury, and his scheming was so deep that it was really difficult for others to guess.
In the end, Wang Ji and Ren Lan, who represented Xiahou Xuan, went to the camp outside the city to meet Sima Yi.
Sima Yi was full of praise for Wang Ji's achievements in defending the city, and faintly had some intention of wooing, but Wang Ji did not take advantage of his stubble, and the two sides were limited to a moment of cold noise, and said a few more words that were not nutritious.
When it came to Ren Lan's appearance, it seemed that Sima Yi was a little surprised, and after asking about the situation, he said: "I don't know that General Xiahou is seriously injured, forgive your sins, so let's do it, General Xiahou fought bravely and was injured for the country, it should be someone who went to visit General Xiahou." ”
At that moment, Sima Yi immediately arranged to go into the city to visit Xiahou Xuan, and he didn't even bring Sima Shi, but only took more than ten of his usual personal guards.
When Sima Shi heard this, he stopped: "Father only brought a few guards into the city, in case Xiahou Xuan or Cao Liang have a plan, my father will not have a way out." ”
Sima Yi smiled slightly, and said: "As the governor of Pingnan, if they want to punish the nine clans, they just have to do it, and my father really doesn't believe that they have such a guts!" ”
Whether it is Xiahou Xuan or Cao Liang, their families are all in Luoyang, if they dare to be unfavorable to Sima Yi, it is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans, everyone is a smart person, although some things are well known, but they will not say it.
Sima Yi entered the city to visit Xiahou Xuan, it was more of a gesture, after all, Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengnan, was his deputy, and if he didn't even care about the serious injury of his deputy, he couldn't talk about it with emotion and reason!
As for the security issue, Sima Yi really didn't have the slightest worry, after all, they hadn't torn their faces at this time, and they had to go through the motions where they should be wronged, no matter how they said that the southern army was also his men and horses under Sima Yi, if he was the governor of the capital, there would be something wrong with his own people, it would be simply no royal law!
Therefore, Sima Yi did not listen to Sima Shi's dissuasion, insisted on going, and returned to the city with Wang Ji and Ren Lan.
Of course, Wang Ji didn't dare to refuse, and he had no reason to refuse at all, so he could only walk slowly and lead the way for Sima Yi in front.
Sima Yi is old and can't ride a horse, but this time he is riding the iconic assault car.
