After Sima Jun completed the assembly in Hanoi, Sima Shi asked Ying to serve as the vanguard, Sima Yi allowed it, and allocated 30,000 steps to ride to Sima Shi, with Chen Qian as the deputy general, Zhong Hui as the long history, Keri marched and took Shimen Pass.

Shimen Pass is the only choke point for Hanoi to enter Bingzhou, whether it can open the door to enter Bingzhou, this battle is extremely critical, Sima Yi in order to train and train Sima Shi, deliberately let him lead the army alone to take the lead, it can be seen that Sima Yi's good intentions.

Sima Yi is nearly seventy years old, and he is about to reach the age of ancient rarity, and it is said that people live for seventy years, and at this age, Sima Yi himself feels that time is running out.

But he didn't dare to slack off, especially after the success of the coup, Sima Yi became a powerful minister who controlled the government, although the scenery was infinite, but Sima Yi was walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss.

Because he knows that the so-called powerful ministers actually have only two ways to go, one is Dong Zhuo's road, where the family is wiped out and there is no place to be buried, and the other is Cao Cao's road, seeking power and usurping the throne and changing the dynasty.

In addition, there is really no third way to go, the so-called successful retreat, retreat to the mountains and forests, it is simply impossible, once the ministers hand over power, then the next thing is the crazy counterattack and killing of the opponents, none of the descendants of the Sima family can be spared.

So if you embark on the road of power, you are destined to have no turning back, you can only go to the dark one way, even if Sima Yi is gone, the descendants of the Sima family will inherit the great cause and continue to walk tenaciously.

As Sima Yi grew older, he was even more worried about what would happen to the fate of the Sima family after his death, and if there was no heir with a sharp mind and a strong wrist and a military master, Sima Yi couldn't believe how far these descendants would go.

Therefore, cultivating a successor has become a major event that Sima Yi tries his best to do, the Battle of Huainan and the Battle of Hanzhong, Sima Yi let Sima Shi and Sima Zhao participate in the war respectively, hoping to take the opportunity to examine the leadership ability of these two sons.

Although Sima Shi and Sima Zhao performed well, the limelight completely overshadowed Cao Liang, that is to say, Cao Liang's military ability completely destroyed Sima Shi and Sima Zhao.

I'm afraid this is not what Sima Yi wants to see the most, now that Cao Liang has divided and annexed the state, Sima Shi asked to take command of the expedition to defeat him, Sima Yi did not agree, not that Sima Yi did not want Sima Shi to have the opportunity to lead the army alone, but he knew that Sima Shi could not be Cao Liang's opponent.

An opponent like Cao Liang must be cut off by Sima Yi himself, and it must be cut off, if Sima Yi cannot complete this goal in his lifetime, it is likely to bring a disastrous consequence to future generations of children and grandchildren.

Of course, Sima Shi can't be the main general, being a pioneer is still enough qualifications, and this is what Sima Yi wants to see the most, after all, Sima Shi is going to inherit the great cause after all, and all Sima Yi has to do is to help him get on the horse and give him a ride.

And for Sima Shi, he wants to prove himself more urgently, the regret and pain left by the battle of Huainan to him, always devouring his heart, these years he served as the middle guard, although he is also conscientious, dedicated to his duties, but the middle guard army is not a war after all, he is extremely eager to lead the army to fight on the battlefield, the things that have been lost, on the battlefield to find back.

During the Luoyang Incident, he led the army to chase and kill Cao Liang all the way, and even had a record of besieging and killing Cao Liang's father Cao Yan in Beibi Mountain, and finally failed to catch up with Cao Liang because of the isolation of the Yellow River, which made him regretful. That small battle could not satisfy Sima Shi's inner desire at all, and his purpose was to lead thousands of troops and horses to really have a big fight.

Therefore, as the vanguard of the Northern Expeditionary Army this time, Sima Shi was full of ambition and confidence, and he had to open the Shimen Pass and blow the horn of the Northern Expedition of Sima Army.

Shimen Pass is not so much a pass, but rather a natural danger, the continuous and majestic Taihang Mountain flashes a hole here, the left and right are like a stone gate, so Shimen Pass is named after this.

Because Shimen Pass is located in the hinterland of the Wei State, even if the terrain is dangerous, there is no need to set up a pass, so a checkpoint is set up here to check the business travelers.

The topography of Shimen Pass is also quite high, the Hanoi Plain is a flat river, and when you arrive at Shimen Pass, the terrain suddenly increases, and it is dangerous.

When the Bingzhou army withdrew from Hanoi, the only place that did not occupy was Shimen Pass, and Sima Shi led the army all the way to the north and gradually approached Shimen Pass.

The weather in March is the most pleasant, with a bright spring and warm winds, and it is very comfortable to go out to fight in this season.

However, as the terrain rises, the climate also becomes colder, and when you can see the majestic mountains, Sima Shi puts on the robe he has just taken off, especially at night, you can also see frost and cold wind.

When camping at night, it is also the most dangerous moment, Sima Shi is still familiar with these military common sense, not to mention that he also has the deputy general Chen Qian and Changshi Zhonghui by his side, these two people can be called extraordinary figures, when camping at night, they will definitely not leave any chance for the Bingzhou army.

Zhong Hui also played a little clever, he suggested that Sima Shi deliberately leave some flaws when camping to lure the Bingzhou army to attack, if the Bingzhou army came to attack, Sima Jun could just surround and annihilate it, and then send troops to attack Shimen Pass, it would be much easier and simpler.

Sima Shi listened to Zhong Hui's strategy, and when he was camping, he deliberately sold a big flaw, and then mobilized elite soldiers to ambush outside the camp, and waited for the state army to take the bait.

However, after waiting all night, I didn't see half a figure of the Bingzhou army, it seems that they waited in vain, the wind and cold were heavy, and the Sima army who had been ambushed in the grass for a night was miserable, and the march was already very hard, plus the cold for a night, many soldiers had wind and cold, and the morale of the Sima army seemed to be a little low.

Zhong Hui didn't think so, fighting a war is like this, preparing may not be able to achieve the desired result, but not preparing is likely to bring disastrous consequences, and the state army did not take the bait, not that there is anything wrong with his strategy, but that the opponent can only be more cautious, it seems that the battle of Shimenguan will not be too easy.

Sima Shi's face was calm, their camp was only more than ten miles away from Shimen Pass, at dawn, Sima Shi ordered the whole army to gather, bury the pot to make rice, after a full meal of war food, Sima Jun launched an attack towards Shimen Pass, and the battle will be in full swing today.
