At this time, the 200,000 Wei troops under the leadership of Sima Yi finally showed their fangs, and they naturally knew what happened to the previous 300,000 soldiers who followed Yang Xiu to attack Jingzhou, and they naturally didn't want to follow in the footsteps of their companions, so they, like Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, all held the belief of victory, and walked towards their first goal step by step.

The place where the 200,000 Wei troops were located before was in the southeast of Weixing County, not far from Wancheng and Shangyong.

Sima Yi, who made a quick decision, calculated that even if Liu Feng rushed to Wancheng to fight with Xu Chu and Yu Ban and others outside the city, he found that this was not the main force of the Wei army, and then if he wanted to rush to Shangyong, he would be two or three days later than them, and these two or three days were enough in Sima Yi's heart to take down Shangyong, who only had forty or fifty thousand defenders, because according to the news he got before, Shangyong's defender was just Meng Da, the general of Yizhou, and Sima Yi really didn't take it seriously.

Half a day later, 200,000 troops rolled in and arrived outside the city of Shangyong County, where Shangyong County was governed. In the city, Pang Tong, Wei Yan, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da were all dressed in armor and ready for battle.

In the past ten days since he came to Shangyong, Pang Tong received three letters from Liu Feng one after another, and Pang Tong already knew what Deng Ai had discovered in Nanyang and Sima Yi's possible movements, but even so, in the face of Sima Yi's rolling 200,000 troops, he still felt a little nervous in his heart.

In the last letter, he and Liu Feng had already judged that Jiangxia's sergeant would almost certainly be a suspicious soldier, and almost concluded that Sima Yi's real purpose was Shangyong, and he and Liu Feng relied on each other's tacit understanding to determine the strategy to resist Sima Yi, but this strategy, if it wants to be successfully implemented, there are two great difficulties, one of which is that he has to resist Sima Yi's 200,000 army here for at least three days, instead of the two days set by him and Liu Feng before, If the city is broken within three days, the previous efforts and the advantage of anticipating the enemy will all be in vain.

With more than 40,000 defenders and 200,000 enemies, this offensive and defensive battle is destined to not be simple.

The first shock that Shangyong brought to Sima Yi was the several handsome flags standing high above the city, and the names on them clearly showed that Pang Tong and Wei Yan, two people who could be called Liu Feng's arms, had arrived here.

This also shows that Liu Feng has already had a prediction that he will appear here, Sima Yi knew at a glance that the defenders in Shangyong City were afraid that they were ready to face their own soldiers, but at this time, his heart was like water, and this time, in addition to the 200,000 army, he also prepared some other things, but they would only be used at specific times.

Sima Yi and others led the 200,000 troops, and they didn't even set up camp, so they led the army directly to the moat, even though they were already very well prepared, but such a large number of enemy soldiers approached the city so quickly that all the defenders in Shangyong City showed nervous expressions, and many sergeants saw sweat on their foreheads.

When they arrived at the city, they were not in a hurry, but rode their horses and stood still in places where the defenders' bows and crossbows could not reach, and looked at the defenders on the city wall.

"General Ziwen thinks that in what way should we attack it first?" Sima Yi looked at Cao Zhang and took the lead in asking, after all, although Cao Zhang was nominally his deputy general on this expedition, he was actually the post of supervising the army, and Sima Yi could not fight against the enemy generals before the battle, so whether to directly attack the city with a large army and equipment or engage with the defenders in formation, Sima Yi decided to see what Cao Zhang's opinion was.

"Since the city is Pang Tong, who is known as the first adviser under Liu Feng, and Wei Yan, the leader of the Feiyu Guard under Liu Feng, then if we can defeat Wei Yan in front of the battle, the morale of the defenders will definitely be greatly depressed, and then we will be able to carry out a strong attack again, wouldn't it be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort." Seeing Wei Yan's banner in the city, Cao Zhang's eyes flashed with light.

"Then Wei Yan's force is second only to Zhao Yun and Ma Chao among the generals under Liu Feng, and now that General Zhongkang is not here, it is really difficult for the generals in our army to have people who can win in battle." After hearing this, Sima Yi glanced at the generals he had brought this time, and said with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Wei Yan can get out of the city, I will personally defeat him in front of the battle, what can I do?" Cao Zhang laughed, obviously ready to fight in front of the battle.

"General Ziwen is a golden body, how can he easily fight with a general in Jingzhou? This ...... in case "Regarding Cao Zhang's desire to go out in person, Sima Yi still disagrees with it in his heart.

"As a general, how can you be timid to fight? When I was fighting with the Wuhuan in the north, I always fought with the generals of the large and small tribes of Wuhuan in front of the battle, and so far I have killed dozens of them in front of the battle, otherwise, how can the people of the Wuhuan tribe be afraid of me? ”

"This ......" Obviously, Sima Yi did not have a good way to refute Cao Zhang's theory, and he was speechless for a while.

"Zhong Damo wants to be entangled, although I can't guarantee that Wei Yan will be killed in front of the battle in this battle, but at least I can fight with him without defeat, if I still can't win the battle after dozens of rounds, General Wen Yuan can take advantage of his unpreparedness to shoot it with cold arrows in the formation, and then lead the army to cover the kill, so that we can take the lead in this battle."

Cao Zhang's words made Zhang Liao, who was standing on the side, frown, and then said: "Shooting the enemy general with cold arrows in the middle of the battle is a thing that people in the world despise, our army originally had a lot of advantages, if it did so......"

Before the words in Zhang Liao's mouth were finished, Sima Yi and Cao Zhang waved their hands together, and Sima Yi took the lead and said: "What my Wei State wants is the victory of this battle, as for the process, it is naturally based on their own ability, General Wenyuan does not have to worry, when Liu Feng coerced the current King of Wei on Huarong Road, how can it be a fair and righteous move?" ”

Cao Zhang was also on the side at this time, obviously standing on the same front with Sima Yi in this matter, one of the biggest similarities between Sima Yi and Cao Zhang is that both of them are people who only seek results and not processes, but Zhang Liao is obviously not.

In this way, the three of them agreed on the strategy of this battle, and Zhang Liao had no choice but to silently accept the responsibility of putting cold arrows in the array.
