In the final analysis, the use of soldiers is to deceive people, especially when the two armies are fighting, it depends on who can deceive the other party, so the master of using soldiers is generally more capable of deceiving people.

The Yellow River is very important to Cao Wei, regardless of strategy or anything, as it is now, with catapults to cooperate with the city walls and passes, it is difficult for the Han Dynasty to attack even if he relies on the advantages of the soldiers, and it is also difficult for Cao Wei to attack it, similar to the Yangtze River, but it is different, the Yellow River will be relatively narrower, not as wide as the Yangtze River, and the water is turbulent in many places, which is not suitable for boating, let alone water battles.

If it weren't for this, Cao Cao would not have had to dig a lake near Yecheng to train the navy, and the Yellow River would freeze in winter, unlike the Yangtze River, which runs all year round.

"Captain!" In the Heyang camp, Xiahouba walked in quickly, bowed to Sima Yi, who was reading, and said, "There is nothing abnormal about the Han army. ”

"Have you ever looked closely?" Sima Yi raised his head, looked at Xiahou Ba and asked.

"Lieutenant rest assured, the last general will take the stage every day to look, in the Han army camp, there are a large number of soldiers patrolling back and forth, these days there are still Han troops coming in from the rear, and the approximate number of Han troops can be judged by the daily cooking smoke, there will be no mistake." Xiahou Ba said in a deep voice.

"Probe!" Sima Yi nodded.

"Whoa!" Xiahou Ba nodded and bowed to retire.

"Father, then Liu Yi is just a craftsman." Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yi and smiled: "Although he is boasted of being a victorious general, but he is only a shrunken turtle, why should my father be so cautious?" ”

"Turtle?" Sima Yi glanced at his son and shook his head: "With you, you are not worthy of evaluating him." ”

"Father!" Sima Zhao's chest froze.

"Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, if Liu Yi really only has these skills, they will introduce Liu Yi as a confidant?" Sima Yi glanced at Sima Zhao: "If it were you, would you have fellowship with a craftsman?" ”

"Naturally not." Sima Zhao shook his head and frowned: "But father, Liu Yi is ......."

"Great talent!" Sima Yi threw a book of heavenly creations on the table and said: "On weekdays, I ask you to study this book carefully, but you always disdain, the Han Dynasty has been working for 30 years, Liu Yi has opened up the territory and expanded the territory thousands of miles away, leveling the Huns, exterminating Xianbei, such characters, you also deserve to be disdainful." ”

"No, father, it's just that the Han army is powerful, then Liu Yi is just able to use people, and he doesn't have any ability." Sima Zhao smiled bitterly.

"Being able to use people is the greatest ability, and the most important thing is that he can still make those people obey him, can you?" Sima Yi glared at his youngest son: "Do you know how many weapons and buildings in my Great Wei Army are imitations of Han army ordnance?" ”

"But he is an enemy, why does my father still respect him so much?" Sima Zhao was puzzled.

"Only by being in awe of the enemy can you have a chance to defeat him, if you are like you, you know nothing about the enemy, and you are blindly confident, there is no reason to be defeated!" Sima Yi looked at Sima Zhao and shook his head, he was smart by nature this time, but after all, he was too young, he had not experienced setbacks, he was too high, and in the long run, this great talent would be wasted, but now he was just using Liu Yi to hit him.

Sima Zhao smiled bitterly and didn't dare to fight back.

"Father." Sima Shi on the side looked at Sima Yi and said, "Now that the Han army is gathering here, should you do it as soon as possible?" ”

"Our army has not yet assembled, and now it is just a trick to deceive the other party, so that the other party does not dare to attack, if I can succeed in this plan, our army can take advantage of the situation to attack Luoyang and recapture the land of Heluo, then the Han Dynasty's plan to go on this expedition will be broken, but the premise is that we really deceived Liu Yi." Sima Yi shook his head, he had spent eight years preparing for today, and he would not allow the slightest mistake.

"Father, is Liu Yi really so powerful?" Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi and asked.

"Hmm." Sima Yi nodded and said: "I have studied all the past wars of this person, the earliest should be counted from Nanyang, the opponent is a bandit, and then he built Mocheng in Jingling, and he has fought with Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Le Jin, and the three generals have won successively; Although several Taishou in Jingnan were not very powerful at that time, Liu Yi moved to Jingnan in a very short period of time with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and won the foundation of Jingnan for Liu Bei, which is enough to prove that this person is not as useless as Zi said. ”

"After that, whether it was Liu Bei entering Sichuan, or Sun Quan taking advantage of the weakness to attack Jingzhou, but was heavily damaged by the Han army, and then to the Battle of Nanyang and the Battle of Nanzhong, there was a figure of this person in every battle, maybe not the boss, but it played a great role!" Sima Yi stood up, looked at the map in the big tent, sighed and said: "My father once made a very interesting deduction, if there was no Liu Yi in this world, Liu Bei would have been able to win Jingnan back then, but he might not be able to take Jiangling!" ”

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao looked at their father blankly, not understanding why their father suddenly said this, so they could only continue to listen obediently.

"Even if Liu Bei takes Jiangling, but if there is no such person, Liu Bei enters Shu, Jingzhou is empty, Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang with all his strength back then, at this time Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou, it could have been successfully captured, but the appearance of this person ......" Sima Yi clicked the map, shook his head and sighed: "He has been guarding against Jiangdong from the beginning, judging from Guan Yu's reaction at that time, he should not have thought that Jiangdong would attack at this time, but Jingzhou has obviously made preparations, and among the people who solved this matter, there are Deng Ai, Liu Sandao and Chen Ergou, These people are all from Mexico! ”

"He had long expected that Jiangdong would attack!" Sima Zhao said something incredible.

"This person has a strong vision, and he is not as incompetent as you say." Sima Yi glanced at Sima Zhao and said, "I'm not sure if he saw through my plan!" ”

"So ......," Sima Shi said as he looked at Sima Yi.

"The dam was designed by Ma Jun, and there are two dams that can release water twice!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "After the soldiers and horses arrive, I plan to take Xiahouba as the vanguard and attack the south bank first, if that Liu Yi is the best, but if not, I will spend eight years of hard work to build these two dams, as long as Xiahouba drags Liu Yi, this second reservoir is the place where Liu Yi is buried!" ”

"Then Xiahou Ba ...... him" Sima Zhao said half a sentence and did not say any more, if Xiahou Ba could be exchanged for Liu Yi's life, then this exchange would be worth it.

……

Liu Yi, who was patrolling the camp, shivered inexplicably.

"Dudu, these straw men are gods, don't say that you look at it from a distance, but you can watch it from a close distance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake for a while!" Zhuge Qiao followed Liu Yi's side, looked at the straw men who were sliding along their respective tracks under the traction of the rope, and smiled.

In the army, naturally, you can't be commensurate with your father-in-law.

"Well, maybe it's a secret, but I still think something is wrong." Liu Yi shook his head, he didn't understand why, he always felt that there was still no way, but where it was, Liu Yi couldn't think of it for a while.

Since you can't think of it, then use the safest way.

"Bo Song?" Liu Yi turned his head and looked at his son-in-law: "Bo Song, if you are the commander of the Wei army, what if you know that I am an empty camp here?" ”

Zhuge Qiao was stunned when he heard this, looked at Liu Yi and said, "Dudu, how is this possible?" ”

The other party's methods are extremely secretive, if it weren't for Liu Yijing's good at water conservancy, and he noticed something wrong by the Yellow River, others might not be able to detect it at all, and it was not easy to detect Sima Yi's conspiracy, and Liu Yi In order to confuse the other party, he led the people and horses to set up 100,000 straw men these days, not to mention from the other side, even from his own side, if he didn't know in advance, I'm afraid it would be embarrassing, is the other party a fairy?

"A lot of accidents are impossible to evolve, never underestimate your enemy, he will be more terrifying than you think." Liu Yi shook his head and said, the opponent is very likely to be Sima Yi, if he is Sima Yi, I am afraid he will also consider how to end up if the enemy can break his strategy.

"This ......" Zhuge Qiao thought about it carefully, thought about it seriously, and still couldn't think of it, if the other party knew that this was an empty camp, then it would not be long before the water was released, but in this way, the situation was frozen, if the water was released, at least this piece could be emptied, but what about emptying, it was just an empty camp.

If troops are sent to attack, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is far superior to that of the Wei army, which is tantamount to pushing the Han army's battle line back for a while, but it has no meaning at all.

Liu Yi is not in a hurry, he is going to discuss this matter with the officers and soldiers of various armies, Zhuge Qiao is not the kind of person who is proficient in the art of war after all, but before that, Liu Yi has already decided that even if he misses the opportunity, he will not attack rashly.

"Let's go." Liu Yi looked around, he had already set up several mechanisms similar to ground motion instruments in the camp, and if there was any abnormal movement, the officers and men in the battalion could also evacuate in time.

As for what tricks Sima Yi has, as long as he doesn't accept it, any tricks are in vain, so what if he gives up this land to the other party?

Liu Yi had already made up his mind in his heart, before he fully understood the other party, or before he met Sima Yi, he would stick to the defense line and never make a move easily.

On this day, Sima Yi personally climbed the high platform to watch the formation of the Han army, but saw that the armor in the Han army camp was distinct, and the Han soldiers in the camp patrolled back and forth, and the array was clear, and he couldn't help but secretly admire the rigor of the Han army.

"Father, Guo Huai has led the army to Yi County!" While he was watching, Sima Zhao rushed to Sima Yi's back, he wanted to see if Liu Yi was really that powerful.

"Good!" Sima Yi patted the railing and shouted at Sima Zhao under the watchtower: "Immediately raise the wolf smoke!" ”

"Whoa!" Sima Zhao responded, and personally threw the wolf dung that had been prepared into the beacon tower that had been prepared, and a puff of wolf smoke rose into the sky, and the Wei army in the camp began to retreat under the command of Sima Yi, and the Han army camp in the distance did not seem to be aware of the danger.

When Sima Yi came down from the watchtower, he glanced at the military camp on the other side, maybe he was wrong, Liu Yi was not that powerful, at least not so powerful in terms of strategy......
