Chapter 999: Yiguan Dao
The loss of Anyi put the entire Sima army in a predicament, there was no city to surround them, and the Bingzhou cavalry would be like maggots attached to the bones, biting them to the death, until they ate their flesh and drank their blood, and perhaps they would give up.
It is very dangerous for Sima Jun to continue to stay in the land east of the river, because so far, they have not been able to find a way to restrain the cavalry, especially to deal with the heavy cavalry, it is completely incomprehensible, and now the Tun Cavalry Battalion has not kept up due to the burden, but it does not mean that they will not participate in the battle, once the Tun Cavalry Battalion is just on the front, it will be a disaster for Sima Jun!
Anyi can be said to be Sima Shi's last hope, when he heard the news of the fall of Anyi, Sima Shi's whole person almost collapsed, Anyi's loss, and Sima Shi's confidence was destroyed, originally he still held the belief in fighting to the death with Cao Liang, but with the loss of Anyi, his last confidence also collapsed.
Where will Sima Dajun go next, Sima Shi is completely confused.
"Eldest son, Pingyang Anyi has been lost one after another, and our army has no place to stay in Hedong, so it is better to withdraw as soon as possible and withdraw to Hanoi, so as to get on the way." Zhong Hui gave Sima Shi an idea.
Now the situation in Hedong has gradually become clearer, the Sima army, which has lost the two county towns of Pingyang and Anyi, has become a rootless tree and a sourceless water, and if it continues to stay in Hedong, it will be hit more fiercely by the Bingzhou cavalry, and will eventually be eaten away by the Bingzhou army.
Therefore, Zhong Hui's advice to Sima Shi was to abandon Hedong and withdraw to Hanoi, and Hanoi County was still under the control of Sima Jun, as long as the army was withdrawn to Hanoi, it could be temporarily safe.
As for the route of the withdrawal of troops, it was naturally the route that Sima Jun had taken from Hanoi to Hedong, and it was the only way to go to Hanoi.
Sima Shi hesitated, to be honest, he didn't want to stay in this ghost place, he had been chased away by the Bingzhou cavalry, how embarrassed and embarrassed, and even in danger of annihilation, on the battlefield, the sword and arrow had no eyes, two days ago when the archers raided, a stray arrow was impartial, and it just hit the red tassel on the top of Sima Shi's head, at that time, Sima Shi and the soldiers around him were shocked into a cold sweat, but fortunately it was shot at the red tassel, if the arrow was a few inches lower, it was possible to penetrate the face of Sima Shi, Sima Shi is already blind in one eye, and if he is blind again, then he will be completely blind and will not be able to see anything.
As Sima's army moved south, the pursuit of the Bingzhou cavalry became more and more intense, and the battle became more and more intense.
To tell the truth, when the battle came to this point, Sima Shi also had the idea of retreating, but giving up Hedong like this really made Sima Shi very unwilling.
This time, Sima's family concentrated an army of nearly 200,000 troops, waved the Northern Expedition, and wanted to level the state and merge it, but it backfired, not only Cao Liang's henchman was not eradicated, but also more than half of the men and horses were lost, and now even Hedong County can't be saved, which makes Sima Yi's years of hard work go to waste, Sima Shi is faintly worried, I don't know if Sima Yi will get worse when he hears this bad news?
In order to let Sima Yi recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, during the march, Sima Shi specially arranged a carriage for Sima Yi, which was very wide and comfortable, as for the military information, Sima Shi instructed the people under him that no one was allowed to disclose it to Sima Yi without his consent, so as not to affect his mood.
Sima Shi hoped that Sima Yi could recover as soon as possible, after all, only an experienced person like Sima Yi could handle such a critical situation well, and he was a little powerless.
Sima Shi boarded the carriage, and Sima Yi had just woken up, his seriously injured body overwhelmed him, and he needed a lot of time to rest every day, but despite this, Sima Yi's injury did not improve for a long time.
Probably this is related to Sima Yi's age, he is an ancient old man in his seventies, all the functions of his body have aged, and he has been hit so hard that it is a miracle that he can leave a life.
Sima Yi turned his eyes to Sima Shi and said lightly: "Master, is Anyi also lost like Pingyang?" ”
Sima Shi was shocked, in order not to disturb Sima Yi's rest, Sima Shi ordered no one to reveal the military information to Sima Yi, Anyi lost such a big event, how did Sima Yi know, these guys, they really deserve to be killed!
Sima Yi saw the murderous intent flashing in Sima Shi's eyes, shook his head lightly and said, "Don't blame them, this is for my father to guess." According to the distance and time, the army has almost arrived at Anyi, but it has not entered the city and is still stranded outside the city, so doesn't it mean that Anyi has been lost. ”
Sima Yi's calculations are famous all over the world, although he is injured and can't see things, but Sima Yi can still judge the direction by experience, and now the army is about to arrive in Anyi, but he has been unable to enter the city for a long time, Sima Yi easily deduced the truth of Anyi.
Sima Shi saw that he couldn't hide it from Sima Yi, so he had to tell him bluntly, but he came here in person today, and the most important thing was to consult Sima Yi's advice on whether to withdraw the army, and naturally he had to explain to Sima Yi the current situation in Hedong and the situation of Sima Jun.
"Father, Zhong Shiji suggested that he retreat from Yiguan Road to Hanoi as soon as possible, I don't know what you think?" Sima Shi asked.
Sima Yi shook his head lightly and said, "No! ”
Sima Shi was even more taken aback, only to hear Sima Yi continue: "Can you think of retreating from Yiguan Road, Cao Liang can't think of it?" The terrain of Yiguan Road is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Cao Liang only needs to send a small number of men and horses, one husband is the pass, there is no way to open, and it is easy to defend Yiguan Road. And when our army reaches the Yiguan Road, it will find that there is an ambush, and at that time, it cannot advance, and there is no way back, that is to enter the real desperate situation. ”
When Sima Shi heard this, he immediately frowned, Sima Yi, an old man in the twilight, actually saw it more thoroughly than anyone else, yes, retreating from Yiguan Road, they could think of it, how could Cao Liang not think that with the extremely dangerous terrain of Yiguan Road, whoever seizes Yiguan Road first will be able to firmly grasp the opportunity to advance and retreat.
The speed of the Bingzhou Army is incomparable to them, it is very likely that the Yiguan Road a hundred miles away has now fallen into the hands of the Bingzhou Army, once they go to the Yiguan Road, what awaits them is bound to be the end of the entire army.
