Liu Ze doesn't have a very good way, Sima Yi seems to have eaten the scales and has an iron heart, and he just doesn't fight if he hides in the city, in the face of this kind of master, any plan is in vain, and if he wants to break the enemy, the only way is to attack. However, the passage of the Shu Road was difficult, and the large siege equipment such as artillery catapults could not be transported at all, and some simple trebuchets made on the spot did not play much role in facing the city wall made entirely of stone blocks in Shangqi. Although it is said that the Jing army has some advantages in terms of strength, this advantage is not too great, and the difference between it and the five out of ten sieges required by the soldiers is far away, and if it is really a strong attack, the casualties paid are not something that Liu Ze can bear.

"Lord, since Shangtai City is difficult to conquer under the eagerness, it is better to retreat to Longnan, Sima Yi forcibly relocated the people of Longnan, a large amount of land is abandoned, and our army can open up the wasteland, which can also be a long-term plan." Zhuge Liang said leisurely.

"Tuntian?" Liu Ze frowned slightly, although it is difficult to transfer grain and grass in Qinling Road, but with the support of Han water transportation and wooden oxen and flowing horses, there will be no big problems with the supply of grain and grass for the Jing army, at least it is not too difficult to support it for half a year, Zhuge Liang proposed the strategy of Tuntian, and Liu Ze's first feeling was that it was not necessary, the army had gone to Tuntian, how to fight the war? How can combat effectiveness be guaranteed? After holding each other in Longxi for a long time, will Cao Cao send reinforcements again? This qiē is unknown. Although Zhuge Liang's method can alleviate the logistical pressure of the Jing army, this front line is engaged in tuntian, which makes Liu Ze feel that it is not a good idea.

"What does the lord think?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said authentically.

Liu Ze was quickly calculating in his mind, with Zhuge Liang's wisdom, it was impossible not to see that there would be more harm than good in Tuntian, Longnan, but Zhuge Liang had other plans. Liu Ze suddenly said: "The military advisor must have another plan?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the matter of Tuntian mentioned by the minister." It's just a pretense, Sima Yi didn't know that our army had solved the problem of grain transportation, and with common sense, 200,000 troops entered Guanlong, and the amount of grain and grass needed every day was amazing, and our army was able to fight quickly. The minister did the opposite. In Tuntian, Longnan, Sima Yi thought that our army was preparing to stay in Guanlong for a long time, and his plan to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness was aborted. Sima Yi couldn't make this plan, so he must think of something else. A few days ago, I inspected a grain named 'gourd valley' in the southwest of Jicheng one hundred and ten miles, the inside is wide and the outside is narrow, the valley is shaped like a gourd, so it is named, the lord can order the grain and grass to be tuned in this valley, and the gunpowder and reeds and other things that cause fire are hidden in the valley. led Sima Yi into the valley and burned it with fire, and it was difficult for him to fly even if he had wings. ”

"Brilliant plan." Liu Ze nodded yes, and then ordered to withdraw the siege of Tai, and led Zhao Yun to lead the army to be stationed in Longnan, and started the cultivation of tuntian with great fanfare.

Liu Ze personally went to the gourd valley to visit, and sure enough, the valley here is narrow and spacious. The four walls are steep, and there is only one path behind the valley that can be passed. The trail is right next to a stream, and the snow melts at the top of the mountain in spring, and the stream is very fast. Liu Ze looked around and was full of praise, if it is said that the ambush place, this gourd valley is made in heaven. I'm afraid it couldn't be more appropriate. Liu Ze immediately ordered that Xu Rong, an ambush expert, be specially responsible for the preparation in Hulu Valley, and that some blood capital would be required to do the fake show, and Liu Ze ordered most of the grain and grass transferred from Hanzhong to Hulu Valley.

In order to confuse Sima Yi, on the surface, Liu Ze only stationed a brigade of 3,000 men and horses in Hulu Valley. Secretly, Zhang Ren and Wei Yan each led 30,000 horses to ambush on the left and right sides of the mountain thirty miles away, as long as Sima Yi took the bait, it would not be so easy for him to escape.

"Gongyao, you send someone to the upper reaches of this stream and use sandbags to intercept the water." Liu Zelin remembered one more thing before leaving the valley, and specially instructed Xu Rongdao.

"No." Xu Rong bowed down to receive the order.

"What? After Liu Ze retired from the army, he opened up a wasteland in Longnan? Sima Yi was visibly taken aback when he received the scout's report.

Deputy Governor Guo Huai was also stunned, and wondered: "What is this Liu Ze's intentions?" ”

Sima Yi pondered for a moment and said: "As expected, Liu Ze was repeatedly attacked under the city of our army, and he was unwilling to retreat lightly, so he gave birth to a plan to Tuntian, wanting to eat on the spot and make a long-term siege of Longxi. ”

Guo Huai was a little flustered and said, "This ...... How can this be good, if Liu Ze has been stationed in Longyou for a long time, it will always be a threat to us, only a thousand days to be a thief, then there is a thousand days to prevent thieves, but our army is slack, or I am afraid that it will be taken by Liu Ze, if it is not driven back to Hanzhong, Longyou may have no more peace. ”

Sima Yi smiled coldly and said: "Liu Ze thinks he has a plan, but he doesn't know that it takes a year for the grass and trees to wither and prosper, and the grain will be planted in the ground, and it will take at least half a year or half a year to wait for the harvest season?" Liu Ze is in Longyou, can he stay for half a year? ”

Guo Huai said: "The governor can't be careless, since Liu Ze is already in Longnan Tuntian, he must have come prepared, the supply of grain and grass may really be able to support for half a year, and the governor has to think of a strategy to deal with the enemy." ”

A smile appeared on Sima Yi's face, and he said: "I just received the news that most of the grain and grass of the Jing army is stationed in the gourd valley one hundred and ten miles away from here, and the garrison is extremely lax, as long as we can send a surprise army to attack the grain storage place of the Jing army, Liu Ze has great skills, and he will definitely retreat from Hanzhong within ten days." ”

Guo Huai hesitated for a moment and said, "Dudu, this can't be Liu Ze's trick to lure the enemy, right?" "When Cao Cao was in the battle of Guandu, he attacked Yuan Shao's Wuchao grain camp in one fell swoop, so as to turn defeat into victory. This classic example of war is like a textbook, and at the same time, it also warns every general who commands the army that the safety of grain and grass is always in the first place. Liu Ze is also a famous marshal who has experienced a hundred battles, how can he not pay attention to the safety of grain and grass, Guo Huai has this question, which is also normal.

Sima Yi smiled slightly and said, "When I first heard the news, I also thought that this was just a trick played by Liu Ze Zhuge Liang to lure the enemy into going deeper, and I ignored it. However, the latest information came back from Hulu Valley, and there were indeed only 3,000 men and horses stationed in Hulu Valley, and within a radius of 30 miles from Hulu Valley, there was no sign of the Jing army's activities at all, and a large amount of grain and grass was continuously transported to Hulu Valley. After thinking about it, it must have been Liu Ze's arrogance and wantonness, thinking that he would never go out of the city, so the baggage camp was a little lax. It seems that God really helps me, as long as I can burn the grain and grass camp of the Jing army, the Jing army will definitely be in chaos without a fight, and it will definitely be easy to recover the lost territory when the time comes. ”

Guo Huai said: "Then the last general will lead an army to Hulu Valley and burn Liu Ze's grain and grass." ”

Sima Yi said with a solemn face: "This time the matter is very important, and if you need to go in person, Deputy Governor Guo will stay in Shangqi temporarily." ”

Guo Huai has already learned Sima Yi's order in the past few months, as long as he makes up his mind, the eight horses can't be pulled back, and Guo Huai doesn't dare to refute it.

"No, the last general will obey the orders of the governor."

Sima Yi went to order troops and horses overnight, gathered 50,000 elite soldiers, all of whom were strong and fierce in the morning, so that Zhang Ji was the vanguard of the front, and at the third watch in the middle of the night, he secretly opened the city gate of Shangqi and marched to the southwest. As soon as Sima Yi came out of the city gate, a gust of wind blew, and he felt that his right eyelid kept adjusting, he couldn't help frowning, and then hit the horse back to the city gate.

"Boji, go this time, if anything happens to me, you immediately lead the troops of Longyou to abandon the city and go to Guanzhong to meet General Cao Hong, there must be no mistake!" Sima Yi gave the order in a deep voice.

"This ...... What does the governor mean by that? Guo Huai originally rushed to see Sima Yi off, because he expected him to come with such a sentence, which made Guo Huai stammered and dumbfounded.

"This is an order, and there must be no mistake." Sima Yi whipped away, leaving only Guo Huai there to maintain an "O" posture with his mouth. (To be continued......)
