Parents can't take revenge if they are insulted, where are they worthy of being sons of man, and where are they worthy of commanding these thousands of troops.

Sima Yi's chest was full of anger, he couldn't hold back any longer, and asked Jiang Ji to help him defend the city gate, and personally led the tiger ben out of the city.

In several battles with Ding Feng, he found that although Ding Feng's troops fought bravely, they were in a hurry, and after discovering that the enemy army would be surrounded from both flanks, not even leaving reserves.

So he still followed the previous way of playing, first charged with the tiger ben, and then used the feather forest as a preparation, as long as Ding Fengbao came up, the feather forest immediately attacked with the tiger ben inside and outside the attack,

But this time Ding Feng seemed to be intimidated, seeing Sima Yi leading the army to attack, he actually did not scream and pounce as before, but kept scolding in place, seeing that the Wei army was gradually approaching, they left the horse team archers to cover, and slowly retreated while shooting arrows.

"What kind of tactics is this......

Sima Yi was worried about the plan, and he did not chase deeply, he left the tiger army outside the city to keep an eye on Ding Feng to prevent him from turning back, and he himself held the golden helmet in his arms and slowly walked back to the city tower.

"Zitong, I don't think something is right." Sima Yi muttered, "Ding Feng is Zhao Hao's confidant and favorite general, and he is by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, everyone in the Shu Kou army is proud of breaking through Chang'an, and this thief must have something strange with such a method." ”

Jiang Ji also sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't guess Ding Feng's intentions for a while, so he simply relieved: "It's okay, maybe this Ding Feng has no choice, so he uses such a cheap means." ”

Sima Yi nodded and said, "I hope so!" ”

For four days in a row, Ding Feng kept changing people and scolding under the city, and the scolding became more and more ugly, more and more creative, Sima Yi was incompetent and angry, and he could only turn a deaf ear every day.

But in the past four days, Jiang Ji gradually discovered a little mystery.

"It's not good, send someone to Xicheng and Dongcheng to have a look!" Jiang Ji said in a hurry.

Sima Yi immediately reacted and said, "That's right, hurry, without further ado, don't continue to entangle with these people." ”

In the past, Ding Feng's attack route was not fixed, and Sima Yi ran around Chang'an like a firefighter, complaining bitterly, but in recent days, Ding Feng seems to have fallen in love with the city gate of Nancheng, so he scolded here more than once.

Sima Yi and Jiang Ji waited anxiously for a whole day, and as it approached dusk, the soldiers who had gone out to investigate finally arrived late, and they could see the frightened looks on their faces from a distance.

"Oh no, no, Shu Kou actually dug a trench in the east and west of the city, and it seems that he is going to dig into the city!"

"Authentic?!" Jiang Ji's first reaction was this, but if he dug a tunnel, he was a little relieved.

"It's not a tunnel, it's a ditch, and it seems that there is an earthen wall with dirt on it, and now it is getting closer to the city wall!"

Hiss......

The two of them gasped at the same time.

Dig a trench towards the city gates? What kind of play is this?

In the cognition of Sima Yi and Jiang Ji, they have never heard of this kind of siege routine, but they have always known that the Han army is scheming, and there must be their intentions in such a method.

The two hurriedly invited Zhong Xiang and Zhao Yan to discuss the method together, Zhong Xiang and Zhao Yan have been busy building fortifications in the city in the past few days, preparing weapons, grain and grass, and hearing that the Han army has dug up the moths again, they sighed in unison, and had to follow Sima Yi to the city tower.

Seeing the deep ditch that had been dug outside and gradually approaching, Zhong Xuan, who had bad eyes, leaned out with the arrow stack, and Zhao Yan, who had better eyes, reacted quickly and said:

"Look, there are so many people digging this trench, it seems that Shu Kou has to build more than one trench!"

Looking from afar, I saw an extremely busy scene at the construction site outside the city, the Han army dispatched tens of thousands of people to dig soil and repair ditches, and there were a lot of soil dug up to make a wall next to it, and the scene was a lively and busy scene.

If Sima Yi had discovered their movements a few days ago and sent out cavalry to attack early, Ding Feng's fortifications would definitely not have progressed so quickly, but he actually used a small team to scold at the south gate, so he firmly attracted Sima Yi's main attention.

"Bastard, what are you people in the West City and East City doing, Shu Kou is building a lot of construction these days, why haven't you seen it, and no one has come to report it?"

"Wronged, general, we really sent someone to report, but the general above told us that this is just Shu Kou's suspicious strategy, so let's not say more in the future so as not to delay your use of troops."

"Yes, yes, we can't write, we all listen to the orders of the generals and the chief of the song!"

The Wei soldiers guarding Xicheng were very aggrieved, and Ding Feng was discovered on the first day of breaking ground in Xicheng,

How could someone of their level see Sima Yi, they could only report what they found to the generals guarding Xicheng,

"What about the general, don't bring him here yet!" Zhao Yan said angrily.

"I saw it at noon today, but now I don't know where to go!"

Several Wei generals' hearts sank, and they all understood what was going on.

Chang'an was surrounded, the people's hearts have begun to gradually disperse, and some people began to have other ideas, and the Han army could easily find supporters in the city who were willing to take refuge in them, but now the Chang'an defense line has been gradually infiltrated.

"Quick, go and search me carefully, don't let this thief escape!"

Zhong Yan was also furious, and immediately sent someone to find the general, but his voice trembled slightly, and Zhao Yan glanced at him, and he had already seen Zhong Xuan's weakness.

He is the head snake of Chang'an, not Cao Wei's Yuan Cong hero, since Zhao Hao moved closer to Chang'an, Zhong Miao has begun to write letters to Zhao Hao.

Of course, the content of the letter is to explain the mandate of heaven to Zhao Hao in righteous words, asking Zhao Hao not to act against the sky, and increasing the killing to make the people uneasy, as for what he wants to express, only Zhong Xuan himself knows.

If Cao Ren and Cao Zhen could hold on for a while longer, Zhong Xuan should be firmly on the side of Wei now, but now that Zhao Hao is like a bamboo, Cao Pi has to defend Chang'an, he has to leave some way back for himself.

After all, the foundation of the Zhong family is in Chang'an City, and if the battle between Zhao Hao and Cao Pi causes too much damage to Chang'an, his family may be uprooted.

He knew that Zhao Hao had the habit of raiding the family and eating the big households, and the big households in Tianshui Longxi who were unwilling to actively cooperate were all slaughtered by him for various reasons, and gave their family property to those mud legs to buy people's hearts.

This is what Zhong Miao never wants to see.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were staring at him, Zhong Xuan coughed dryly and said, "Shu Kou will launch a fierce attack on Chang'an in the near future, I don't know how you think you should deal with it?" ”

Sima Yi signaled everyone not to engage in infighting at this time, and he said softly: "Yuan Changgong is virtuous and talented, and we are all juniors, so please make it public." ”

Zhao Yan ignored Sima Yi and hurriedly said: "In my opinion, our army might as well attack now, Chen Shukou is still digging a ditch and using cavalry to wipe them out in one fell swoop!" ”

"Puffer's opinion." Jiang Ji didn't save face for Zhao Yan at all, and sneered, "If it is so easy to get to Pingshu Kou, why should we be trapped in Chang'an City?"

First of all, no matter what the attempt of Shu Kou to dig a ditch is, our army must deploy more crossbowmen on the city wall, and as soon as the station is opened, ten thousand arrows will be fired in unison, and Shu Kou will not be allowed to cross the moat for half a step.

The Central Plains is the closest to Guanzhong, and the reinforcements of Jia Kui and Lu Qian should be about to arrive, as long as we hold on for a while, we can attack inside and outside and deal a heavy blow to Shu Kou! ”

Jiang Ji's resourcefulness has always been admired by everyone, and now there seems to be no better way, even Zhao Yan, who had just been confused by Jiang Ji, nodded silently, saying that he would do what Jiang Ji said.

Everyone said that they had no objections, but Sima Yi suddenly spoke: "That is what I said, but even if Jia Kui and Lu Qian's reinforcements can arrive, there must be a bitter battle in Tongguan."

Even if you win all the way, it will take at least ten days to rush from Tongguan to Chang'an City, and if Chang'an is lost within these ten days, we will wait for all this to come to naught.

Yuan Changgong, for the sake of Great Wei, please personally lead the troops out of the city, we will always delay the Shu army for a few days. ”

"This ......" Zhong Xuan's thin face instantly became extremely ugly.

He is ten years older than Liu Bei, he is more than seventy years old this year, and he is obviously past the age of going into battle to kill the enemy, even when he cooperated with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao, he was also in command and coordinated with all parties.

When it comes to the military strategy of fighting, he may not be better than others.

Sima Yi didn't understand, but he wanted to force him to fight, which shows that this kid who is not shocked on the surface has really hated himself in his heart.

Of course, Sima Yi hated Zhong Xuan, speaking of which Zhong Xuan was the head snake of Chang'an, and many of these Wei troops were influenced by Zhong Xuan.

When he confronted Ding Feng, Zhong Miao was at odds with the Han army again, and none of his generals took the city to heart, waiting for the Han army to attack the head of Chang'an City to change the banner of the king, and directly become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

If you don't beat them hard, I'm afraid that they don't know what to do, and they will treat themselves as decorations.
