Chapter 660: Siege of Yecheng
Yanjin, the camp of the Wei army.
"Captain, report from the front!" Guo Huai hurriedly walked in with the battle report and bowed to Sima Yi.
"Just read it!" Sima Yi was closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't open his eyes when he heard the voice, but said indifferently.
"Whoa!" Guo Huai glanced at Sima Yi, bowed down and said: "Lu State, Liang State, and Yingchuan have fallen one after another, in addition to the entire territory of Yanzhou and Xuzhou's Donghai, Pengcheng, Xiapi, and three counties have been lost, and now south of the Yellow River, only Qingzhou has not been attacked by the Han army, but it is also precarious. ”
"It's not a chance at all!" Sima Yi slowly opened his eyes, the whole person has aged a lot, from August to October, Pang Tong was not in a hurry to join Liu Yi and attack Jizhou, but chose a steady and steady strategy, step by step while the people in the Central Plains counties were panicking, quickly encroached, in just two months, the war in the Central Plains has been eroded to the point that Sima Yi feels powerless!
"Tai Lieutenant, with today's situation, Qingzhou may not be able to support it for too long, and in a few more days, the river will be frozen, and Pang Tong will be able to cross the river with his army on the ice, and then our army may be even more difficult to resist!" Guo Huai smiled bitterly.
"As long as Liu Yi is here, I can't move!" Sima Yi said a little decadently: "But if I don't move, the Han army will be able to step on the river, directly attack Qinghe, Zhao State, and Bohai, and then attack Yecheng directly from the rear!" ”
Guo Huai's face was bitter when he heard this, even if he saw the other party's intentions clearly, but he couldn't do anything, the Great Wei Dynasty could only use this little bit of soldiers now, he could stop Liu Yi, but he couldn't prevent Pang Tong, and the land of Jizhou, there were not many dangers, the Han army came to attack in two ways, if Sima Yi chose to divide the troops, I am afraid that he would be broken by the other party immediately, but if he didn't divide the troops, he could only watch Pang Tong or Liu Yi directly attack Yecheng, and then be trapped, and finally it would be difficult to escape defeat.
"Father!" When the two of them were speechless, they saw Sima Shi rushing back quickly, and said to Sima Yi: "The imperial court has reported urgently, Jiang Wei has invaded Daijun from Yanmen, and His Majesty has recruited his father to return to Shiye City immediately!" ”
Sima Yi's fists clenched suddenly, then let go again, slowly stood up, looked at Sima Shi, then looked at Guo Huai, and said after a moment of silence: "Ziyuan, Boji!" ”
"In!"
"You ...... Surrender! Sima Yi was silent for a long time before he said dryly.
"Father (Taiwei), this ......" Sima Shi and Guo Huai's faces changed greatly when they heard this, and they looked at Sima Yi incredulously.
"The Great Wei Dynasty is dead!" Sima Yi rubbed his cheeks tiredly, sighed and said: "Can't stop it, in the past, my Great Wei was dominant in the Central Plains, the world was divided into three, and the Great Wei was unique, and it still couldn't stop the Han army. ”
"Father, what about you?" Sima Shi suddenly grabbed Sima Yi and said.
"If I go back, if I also surrender, what face will the Sima clan have in this world? I have to be loyal to Dawei! Sima Yi stretched his waist and said: "But I can be alone, my son should leave a useful body, revive the Sima clan, if there is a chance, get rid of Liu Yi, this person will be alive for a day, and the scholar will never have peace." ”
"Father......" Sima Shi pulled Sima Yi's sleeve, his body trembled, but he couldn't speak.
"Boji can demote Liu Yi, but I'd better go to Jiang Wei." Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "Liu Yi is quite trusted in the Han Dynasty, my son has just descended, don't compete with him, live well, as long as you live longer than him, you will have a chance!" ”
"Captain, really no chance?" Guo Huai looked at Sima Yi with a heavy heart.
"Maybe there is, but I can't see it!" Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Boji, help me pass on another order, the soldiers of the three armies will pull out the camp and return to the dynasty with me!" ”
"Whoa!" Guo Huai didn't say more, the current situation is indeed desperate, Sima Yi decided like this, Guo Huai didn't say anything more, turned around and left, ordered the three armies to assemble, and withdrew to Yecheng with Sima Yi, as for Guo Huai, according to Sima Yi's instructions, after the three armies retreated, he went to the Han army camp alone and surrendered to Liu Yi.
……
"Boji is also a famous general in the world, and now he is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and my Han naturally welcomes it." Liu Yi looked at the general in front of him with some surprise, Guo Huai Zhineng, in the more than a year of confrontation with Sima Yi, has been fully confirmed, he is a good general.
"Praise the commonplace, the general of the defeated army." Guo Huai shook his head, bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Please take it in!" ”
"Let's go to Chang'an." Liu Yi stood up and said with a smile: "As for how to arrange it, this official has no right to ask, so it will be up to Your Majesty to decide." ”
"Whoa!" Guo Huai bowed and said, "Thank you, Sikong." ”
Liu Yi nodded, and immediately ordered someone to send Guo Huai to Chang'an, as for how to arrange it, it depends on Liu Chan's meaning, Liu Yi really plans to confiscate people, and he has hit it at this time, and he has too many talents under his hands, and he is easy to be suspicious.
"Sikong!" After Guo Huai left, Deng Ai looked at Liu Yi and said, "This person is a general of the Wei Dynasty, and now he is here to vote, will there be fraud?" ”
"I don't know." Liu Yi shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if there is or not, Boyo has invaded Daijun, Shiyuan's side is about to pacify the Central Plains, and next month, it will almost be possible to attack Jizhou, the Wei Dynasty will be exhausted, what kind of attempt does he have, it is difficult to turn the tide, whether he can receive this good general, it depends on His Majesty's means." ”
"The last general always felt that Guo Huai's surrender this time was too hasty, he was a general of the three armies, since he surrendered, why not bring troops to surrender? In addition, his family is still in Yecheng, why not bring it? Deng Ai frowned.
"You don't have to think about this, do two things now, first, closely monitor the movements of the Wei army, whether there is fraud in the rivers and mountains, and whether Sima Yi is really retreating! Second, order a group of men and horses to go to Dongjun, occupy Puyang, transfer the defenders of Luoyang to Puyang to garrison, and after the Shiyuan army captures Qingzhou, the two sides will attack together. ”
"Whoa!" Deng Ai agreed, bowed and retired.
In November of the third year of Yanxi (240 AD), the whole territory of Qingzhou fell, Pang Tong troops crossed the river and captured Leling, and Leling Taishou surrendered without a fight.
In the same month, Jiang Wei captured Jixian and Zhuo County, Liu Yi recaptured Liyang, and cooperated with Pang Tong to capture Qinghe and Yangping Counties, Jiang Wei went south to Zhongshan, Hejian and Bohai surrendered, and the three-way army attacked Yecheng from three sides.
Although Sima Yi waved his troops several times to intercept him, he failed in all of them.
In order to prevent Li Yan's incident from happening again, Liu Yi used nearly half of the soldiers as scouts to strictly inspect various waterways to prevent Sima Yi from turning the tables with the help of water and fire.
The two sides fought no less than 100 times on the land of Jizhou, and finally at the end of December, Liu Yi and Pang Tong successfully met outside Yecheng, and Jiang Wei also rushed to Handan.
……
"That's the Wei army's stone thrower?" Outside Yecheng, it has been emptied by the Wei army, Liu Yi immediately sent people along the Zhangshui to enter the Huangyaoyi, in case Sima Yi attacked the enemy with water, looked at the city wall of Yecheng, the waterwheel-like things, frowned and asked.
"Exactly!" Wei Yan nodded and said: "The range of this thing exceeds that of our army's bow and crossbow, the defeat of Neihuang at the beginning, although it was Sima Yi's strategy, but this thing really blocked our army, and later it was Li Yan who bombarded with catapults to destroy these stone machines." ”
Liu Yi nodded, picked up the telescope again, carefully observed the stone machine, and explored its principle.
Wei Yan explained on the side: "The stone bullets fired by this thing are not big, but they can shoot two hundred steps, and the most troublesome thing is that the rate of fire is extremely fast, if our army forcibly attacks the city, these stone machines can block our army under the city!" ”
"In this world, apart from Bo Yuan, is there anyone else who can design such a sharp weapon?" Pang Tong was a little surprised.
"There is a sky outside the sky, and I have never said that I am the strongest." When Liu Yi heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile and said.
His skills have reached the second half of the eighth level half a year ago, and the attribute blessing has reached 70~79, but Liu Yi has not recreated the armor, the previous one is enough, too dependent on attributes, and one day in the future, he will not be in this world, how should science and technology be promoted?
"You, the older you get, the more timid you become!" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi and laughed.
"Who is not~" Liu Yi doesn't care, he didn't have much courage in his life, and he didn't care if he was teased at the moment, he looked at the stone machine on the city wall and said: "Order all departments, after the city is broken, this craftsman named Ma Jun must be captured alive." ”
"What, you want to apprentice again?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi and smiled.
"This is a talent, even if you can apprentice!" Liu Yi said with a smile.
"But how are you going to attack this city?" Pang Tong asked.
"I'm in charge?" Liu Yi turned his head to look at Pang Tongdao.
"If you were to call the shots, what would you do?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi vigilantly.
"No food and water, build a walled city on all sides, besiege Yecheng to death, and surrender the soldiers without a fight!" Liu Yi said calmly.
"Yecheng is the kingdom of Cao Wei, and if you do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to conquer it in a year and a half." Pang Tong frowned.
"But this is the most stable, we will trap Yecheng, and then occupy the places that have not yet been occupied step by step, at least this will reduce casualties." Liu Yi looked at Ye Cheng and said, "In this last battle, make less killings and let them surrender themselves." ”
"It's okay, it's up to you this time!" Pang Tong thought for a while and said, if he can surrender the army without a fight and completely exterminate the Wei State, it will also be regarded as a merit.
"I'll build it, let Boyo and Shizai be responsible for calming down the city that is still resisting, and in addition, in this area, Tuntian, create more psychological pressure on them!" Liu Yi said with a smile.
"Come on with the trapped people, I'll be with them!" Pang Tong shook his head with a smile and said.
"That's fine!"
At the moment, everyone divided labor, except for Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, other generals all flowed down to help Liu Yi, Liu Yi began to build a city wall around Yecheng, and ordered Wei Yan, Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, and Liao Hua to lead one to each hold the four gates, if the Wei army went out of the city to fight, they forced the other party back with a strong bow and crossbow, and Liu Yi began to dig the foundation around Yecheng, build a city wall, and prepare to continue to wear down with the Wei army.
