At the beginning of May of the second year of Wu Jianwu, Lu Xun, the governor of the capital and the general of the right chariot cavalry of the military division, led an army of 40,000 to besiege Wancheng, and Wancheng was in an emergency. Hu Zhen, the assassin of Jingzhou stationed in Wancheng, asked Sima Yi of Wuguan for help, and Sima Yi left 5,000 troops to guard Wuguan and brought 28,000 troops to help Wancheng.

However, Lu Xun was not just besieging Wancheng, Lu Xun ordered Zhu Ran to lead the governor's army of 20,000 through Nanxiang to attack Wuguan urgently, intending to take Wuguan when Sima Yi marched east to rescue Wancheng, and on the other hand, Lu Xun ordered Xincheng Taishou Meng Da to lead the army of his headquarters to set up an ambush on the route of Sima Yi's march.

However, Sima Yi is not a good match, early to see through Meng Da's ambush plan, and will use the auxiliary soldiers (transport grain and grass, heavy troops) to pretend to be the main force to step on mines, leading Meng Da's army out of all directions, and then Sima Yi led the army from behind, this battle Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi and Xiahou Chong, the young general Deng Ai, who was highly valued by Sima Yi, led the cavalry to kill Meng Da's army countless times, Meng Da brought out of the new city army was almost completely annihilated, and Meng Da himself was also killed by Deng Ai with a shot.

However, Meng Da is also a general at the end, and the counterattack of his army before his death also left Sima Yi with thousands of corpses, and for a time Sima Yi's army also suffered some losses, but only a little more than half of the soldiers in the battle to relieve the siege of Wancheng did not seem to be enough, and Sima Yi had already noticed that something was wrong, and prepared to retreat to Wuguan with the remnants of the army.

At the same time, Sun Jiao, the chariot cavalry escort who stayed in Xiangyang, led 3,000 soldiers to suddenly attack Xincheng County, and with the help of Shen Yi, he successfully placed Meng Xing, the son of Meng Da, under house arrest, and then took out Lu Xun's appointment and led Xincheng Taishou himself, and Xincheng County was completely thrown into the arms of Wu State.

When Sima Yi rushed back to Wuguan, the battle flag of the Wu army was fluttering on the Wuguan city wall, and it turned out that not long after Sima Yi left, Zhu Ran took the Wei army uniform from Meng Da and pretended to be Sima Yi to return to the Wuguan department, and defrauded the city wall. Occupied Wuguan (Meng Da was under the hands of the Wei army, of course, there were undamaged Wei army uniforms and battle flags).

When Zhu Ran stood proudly on the city tower in a dazzling bright light armor, he shouted to Sima Yi, 'Sima Zhongda, don't come harm'. At this time, Sima Yi had to figure everything out, knowing that he had fallen for Lu Xun's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and then used Lu Xun as a knife to get rid of the unstable factor of Meng Da for Wu State. At the moment, Sima Shi was furious and wanted to storm Wuguan but was stopped by Sima Yi, how could the treacherous and cunning Sima Yi be so unwise to attack a heavily guarded Guancheng, and directly retreat five miles to the village.

Since Wuguan was owned by the Wei army, in order to guard against the general warlords in the pass, it has not stopped repairing, and the reinforcement and heightening of the city wall is naturally five zhang high, such as the urn city inside and outside the city gate, the corner tower at the corner, the horse face connected with the city wall, the tower on the horse face, and the stabbing enemy gap on the city wall, the hanging nail rake, thorn thorns, etc. They were all renovated at that time.

The urn city is attached to the city gate, and it is built outside the city gate or inside, and it is a small city connected to the city gate. The height is the same as that of the big city, and its shape is either round or square. The round one is like an urn, so it is called the urn city; Fangzhi is also known as Fangcheng.

The urn city is only open to the outside world. There is no staircase in it, and the enemy army has broken through the gate of the urn city. It will also be blocked by the gates of the main city. Moreover, the place in the urn city is narrow, and it is not easy to carry out large-scale force attacks. This slows down the enemy's attack. The defenders at the top of the city walls can shoot from all sides, dealing a fatal blow to the enemy who breaks through the urn city

Sima Yi stood on a high slope outside the range of Wu's giant crossbows to observe this Xiongguan, although Sima Yi thought that the Wu army must not have carried a crossbow cart when they marched, but for the sake of his own life, he did not dare to take risks. But from such a distance, I can see something clearly.

"Father, what else is there to see!!" Sima Shi squatted on the side angrily with a horsewhip and kept twitching the flowers and plants, Sima Shi was right, this place had nothing to do with the place where Sima Yi was stationed a month ago. Regarding the facilities in the Guannei, Sima Yi knows better than Wu Jun.

Sima Yi squinted at his eldest son, who was very impatient, knowing that he was angry because of Zhonglu Xun's scheme, and said lightly: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and Ziyuan's style is not the style of a general." Get up! ”

"Wow!!" Sima Shi really didn't dare to disobey his father, so he had to stand up from the ground, but he didn't look at the so-called city defense, but pulled Deng Ai on the side and said with a smile: "Shi Ze, what do you say we should do!" ”

Deng Ai was arranged by Pang De and Pang De's son Pang Hui to stay in the last column of the cavalry during the Battle of Xinye, and escaped with Pang Hui when Pang De was dying, and then served under Sima Yi with Pang Hui and Wen Dai, the son of Wen Ping. For various reasons, Deng Ai met Sima Yi more than ten years earlier, due to his talent and lack of impatience (stuttering?). 's personality was quite popular with Sima Yi, and he was promoted from a general to a partial general.

At this time, Deng Ai looked at Sima Shi, who was ten years younger than him, with a look of dissatisfaction, and at the same time said to Sima Shi in a low voice: "Major General, the Wu army has occupied Wuguan and it is difficult for our army to conquer, if you return to Wancheng compared to Lu Xun is waiting on the way back??" Waiting? We?? We're only?? There is a detour back to Wuyin, only ?? In order to be able to protect Luoyang??, compared to Chang'an?? Your Majesty? The safety of the next is the most important thing!! ”

Deng Ai was excited as he spoke, and stuttered again, but fortunately, Sima Shi and Deng Ai have been getting along happily for the past year, and they have long been familiar with Deng Ai's characteristics, so that they can hear it clearly. However, their whispers did not hide Sima Yi, who seemed to be watching Wuguan on the side.

"It's okay, return to Wuyin to solidify Gyeonggi! I didn't expect that I, Sima Zhongda, would lose in the hands of Lu Xun!! Sima Yi's voice with a little vicissitudes of life slowly remembered, and his low tone perfectly showed the mood in his heart now.

It was not easy for Sima Yi to be in charge of the army, but he was scolded by Lu Xun. It is also Sima Yi's bad luck, Lu Xun has been more and more careful in the march since Xinye was calculated by Wen Ren, and the combat plans are all preemptive, which makes Sima Yi a little overwhelmed.

However, Sima Yi is Sima Yi in the end, and he was detached from the hesitation at the beginning, and at this time he also thought clearly that instead of wasting grain and grass here, it would be better to save his strength and retreat to Wuyin and consolidate Gyeonggi, anyway, he was not alone in this failure. At this time, he already knew the news that Tongguan and Pujin had fallen, Cao Zhen, Zhang Jaw, Guo Huai and others were defeated, and whether they could escape was a question, and now the Wu and Han coalition forces have wrapped the entire Guanzhong into a dumpling, and the 70,000 Wei army is the dumpling filling.

Due to the existence of Ma Chao in Shu Han, in addition to the 90,000 army, the Qiang people and the Di people can also be pulled into the alliance, and Cao Zhen will face an army of 120,000 at that time, thinking of this, Sima Yi can't help but mourn for Cao Zhen. However, this silence lasted for two seconds, but when Sima Yi's wolf eyes opened, he walked towards the camp without looking back, Sima Yi had already decided to return to his master Wuyin.

At the same time, Zhu Ran in Wuguan City said with a smile to a middle-aged general under his right hand who was more than eight feet tall and had a majestic appearance and a very well-trimmed beard: "Brother Zifang, how is the letter written!?" ”

This middle-aged general is Mi Fang who served Wu State, Mi Fang was forced to surrender to Wu State during the Battle of Nanjun, which directly led to the collapse of Shu Han's notice in Jingzhou, but Wu State did not treat him badly Sun Ce canonized him as General Lou Chuan at first, Sun Shao succeeded to the throne and crowned him as General Anxi, Later Dianjun (different from Dianjun Captain, is the general of the logistics and personnel of the Metropolitan Governor's Army) to lead the Yongzhou Thorn History, which is only half a cut worse than Zhu Ran, who has just been promoted to Jingzhou Thorn History, former general, and Zhonghu Army.

Mi Fang's eyebrows were entangled, and she said with a bitter face: "Why did General Zhu ask me to write this letter!" You know me, too? This!! Since the news of Meng Da's death and Sun Jiao's entry into the new city, Mi Fang knew that Wu Guo was going to take action against some generals, compared to Meng Da who was like a country within a country, Mi Fang was undoubtedly much less threatening, but Lu Xun was still not at ease, so he asked Mi Fang to write this letter to cut off his way back to Shu Han.

Looking at Mi Fang's bitter face, Zhu Ran chuckled and said: "Brother Zifang, I don't want you to go up to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire to be sad, this is to ask you to report to Xu Dasima about the battle situation of our army, this is a good thing, just a letter!" ”

There is no turning back, Mi Fang gritted his back molars and picked up the brush dipped in ink, and directly wrote the book, in this life, because Guan Yu did not die Mi Zhu was not angry, so Mi Fang undoubtedly has a much smaller psychological burden, and now that Wu and Han are in the alliance, a letter was written.
