Chapter 352: Deterrence

"Lord, what's wrong?"

Jia Xu and the others were very strange, but Wei Tao shook his head slightly at this time.

"I didn't expect Sima Zhongda to want me to be like this, is it true that I, Wei Tao, am I so easy to bully?"

Seeing that many people had a strong look of incomprehension on their faces, Wei Tao did not hide it anymore and threw away the letter in his hand directly, and said so.

"Sima Yi is a letter, taking the people in the city as hostages, wanting to let our army open the way and let them come and go. Although I, Wei Tao, have always thought that I am working hard for the big man, I didn't expect that one day I would be coerced by this, it seems that I am really a 'good person' who can't do it! ”

Hearing Wei Tao's words, even Pang Tong and Jia Xu were stunned, such a 'kidnapping' of hostages was simply unheard of.

This is also the reason why Jia Xu knew that most of the people in it wanted to stay in Jiangling, but he still quickly carried out this plan.

No matter which prince he is, he categorically did not say that he could oppress the people at will, especially that he threatened the people of a city as hostages.

So when they saw this, everyone was amazed and inexplicable.

"My lord, I'm afraid his decision is not like that."

After a long time, Jia Xu finally spoke.

"This is just Sima Yi's temptation, no matter what Sima Yi's strategy is, he will definitely not pin such hopes on this, don't say that it is the lord, even if Liu Bei, who is in the name of 'benevolence and righteousness', is he still willing to let the other party slaughter him? It's ridiculous. ”

"If it's a temptation, then what is its intention?"

Wei Tao nodded slightly and said. He didn't think that Sima Yi would be so naΓ―ve. Or a strategist like Sima Yi. But everything is not as simple as it seems, and if you really take this as a threat, then the result is probably a big loss.

"First of all, this letter is for the lord, if the lord is not in the camp, then we will pass it on from one letter to another, and it is naturally impossible to attack during this period."

Although Wei Tao came to lead the troops, he actually did not play his own banner. So if no one knows, that's fine.

Even if Cao Jun has a secret agent here, it is not easy to pass on the news, and Wei Tao did not show up in particular, not to mention.

"It's okay to procrastinate, and it's meant to bring me here. After all, this is the case, if I can't come, how can I deal with it? ”

This kind of matter is very likely to be related to Wei Tao's reputation, if there is no Wei Tao's permission, I am afraid that the people below will really not be able to deal with it.

"But the other party is under siege, except for tactics such as night attacks. What could it be? Is it to take advantage of this to slack off our army, and then take the opportunity to raid our army? If the grain and grass are destroyed by it, the siege will be naturally resolved, and then our army will really become a thief to enter the house. ”

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Jia Xu did not answer immediately, but silently thought about the meaning.

"Huh...... In fact, why did the general have to think so much, so what did Sima Yi do? ”

At this time, Pang Tong smiled and said, Wei Tao's move to trap Cao Jun was already quite agreed with in his heart, and this word was also a lot polite, but it really meant to be like-minded.

But with Pang Tong's arrogance, if he only relies on Wei Tao's temporary appreciation, he is also unwilling, and Pang Tong is unwilling to look down on the kind of thing.

"At that time, there were two people who conspired like this: one was to trap this army and weaken Cao Cao's military strength, and the other was to encircle the point to send reinforcements and divide the strength of Cao's army.

Wei Tao nodded slightly, this is the case, if it weren't for it, Wei Tao wouldn't have come here so quickly, and then listened to Pang Tong continue.

"So what the general is doing now is to wait for the Cao army to move, or to break this army first! However, there is a word to give to the general! ”

At this time, Wei Tao still didn't understand that Pang Tong wanted to make a plan for himself, so he immediately sat down and looked at Pang Tong seriously.

"Please ask for advice."

"If the city is attacked at this time, it must be prepared, although the four doors are wide open, but if the attack is killed, the casualties will be serious, and the Cao army may also use this to break through directly, and all the previous calculations will be in vain, it can be said that it is not the time to break the city! If you wait, not to mention what Cao Mengde will do, the soldiers and horses in this city are also guarded by soldiers and horses, and it is not appropriate. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Pang Tong invalidated all his previous two suggestions, but it was like this, Wei Tao listened more attentively, and Pang Tong was also very satisfied with this, so he took it as an important part of himself, and nodded slightly at the moment and continued.

"In that case, why didn't the general take care of it? That Sima Yi hopes that the general will come, and the general will appear tomorrow, if I expect it to be correct, he will definitely avoid the war, and then make an article on the people, and then the general will do the same! ”

Pang Tong told the story, and Wei Tao also felt that it was not bad, so after only thinking about it briefly, he nodded in agreement, and he had already made a decision to act according to his words in his heart.

"Knock knock ......"

Only the next day, Wei Tao led the troops out, the huge drum sounded, countless soldiers lined up, and in the face of Wei Tao's majesty, the city gate was completely opened.

In such a situation, Wei Tao can rush into the city as long as he gives an order to charge, even if those Cao soldiers have not experienced life and death, even if there are still city walls to rely on, but after seeing this might, many Cao soldiers still can't help but feel terrified.

"Sima Yi, you're here to see me!"

At this moment, Wei Tao stepped forward, and the city-breaking halberd pointed directly at the city, and shouted loudly!

"Sima Yi! How dare you hold me hostage with the small size of the people of the city, and don't you dare to meet me? I, Wei Tao, can say here, if you dare to slaughter the people of Jiangling and carry out the atrocities of Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou in the past, then even if you fight to the last soldier, I will never allow you and other cruel and tyrannical people to leave! ”

Wei Tao shouted loudly, and the sound spread throughout Jiangling City, so that all the people of Jiangling heard about it.

Hearing Wei Tao drink like this, the people in the city suddenly closed their homes, and many people regretted it.

In the past, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and slaughtered several cities along the way, although the people of Jingzhou did not see it in person, but such rumors were heard, so that the people of Jingzhou also had several fears of Cao's army.

Now when the people of Jiangling heard what Wei Tao said, they were immediately terrified.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the time of the war, he would have ordered all the people in the city to stay at home, I am afraid that there would have been chaos long ago, but Rao is like this, and the people's hearts are still fluctuating.

And at this moment, Sima Yi appeared at the head of the city in a scribe's robe, staring straight at Wei Tao with a pair of eagle eyes.

Even if it was Wei Tao, he felt uncomfortable in his heart when he was stared at by Sima Yi so directly, but Wei Tao was Wei Tao after all, and he had never seen any scenes, so he also looked up carefully.

Sima Yi, a person who held the power of Wei in history and established the Sima family's anti-guest establishment of the Jin State, is naturally unusual, Wei Tao looked at it a few times, and he couldn't see from his face that there was a little look.

Such a person is not so easy to deal with.

But at this time, I saw Wei Tao step forward slightly and asked directly.

"You are Sima Zhongda? It is rumored that you have the image of an eagle looking at a wolf, and you are a genius in the world, but now you see it, it is indeed a little true. But why did you force the people of Gangneung? The people of Gangneung are the people of my Han Dynasty and the foundation of my Han Dynasty, why do you want to abandon them? Could it be that Cao Cao still hasn't learned the lessons of Xuzhou in the past! ”

If it was Cao Jun and the others who heard Wei Tao's reprimand, even if Wei Tao said Cao Cao, they would have to fight with Wei Tao to defend Cao Cao's majesty.

But Sima Yi didn't move at all, as if he hadn't heard what Wei Tao said at all.

Seeing Sima Yi like this, Wei Tao frowned secretly, knowing that Sima Yi was indeed difficult to deal with, but Wei Tao never thought that Sima Yi's difficulty in dealing with it would be like this.

"Zhong Da has seen the general, I didn't expect the general to attach so much importance to our army, if I expected it to be true, the general would have already seen through our army's plan. Dare to ask the general, now that the general is trapped in our army here, does he want to fight me to the death? ”

Since Sima Yi lured Wei Tao to come with a trick, although Wei Tao did arrive earlier than expected, Sima Yi was only slightly strange, but his words did not fall to the slightest advantage.

In a word, Wei Tao was already forced into a corner, and it was faintly revealed that if the two armies fought to the death at this time, then Liu Bei and Sun Quan would get the benefit of the fisherman.

The trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention that Cao Jun's strength has not been reduced at all, and he doesn't know how difficult it is to take it.

"Fight to the death? Who among you can fight me? Sima Yi, I know that you are very resourceful, and now that I am here, how can you plan it? ”

Wei Tao had already made up his mind about this, and then he said loudly, raising the halberd in his hand, pointing directly at the place where Sima Yi and his people were, and drank it!

"Sima Yi, listen! If you have a plan, I will give you one day, and tomorrow I will send troops to break the city! If you dare to use this to slaughter my Han people, then I will definitely wash the city with the blood of your Cao army! ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Tao pointed at the halberd, and then immediately led the army back to the camp, as if he didn't take the entire Cao army in his eyes at all.

Such a momentum naturally made Cao Jun's morale drop greatly, but such a momentum could not make Sima Yi move slightly, only a little surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Wei Tao, it is really Prime Minister Cao Cheng's rival! But I don't know if what I calculate can be ......" (to be continued......
