Wei Ba is sure to break the city faster than Lu Xun, and he has his confidence in this. From the point of view of the city, Xiangyang is more difficult to attack than Fancheng, and from the point of view of Liliang who is besieging the city, although Lu Xun's troops are many, they are far inferior to the Shu army in terms of armament. In terms of objective conditions alone, Wei Ba's winning chance is much greater.

If you look at the mood of the main generals on both sides, the Shu army is eager to fight, from Wu Yi and Meng Da to ordinary soldiers, all of them have high morale and want to make meritorious contributions. And Wu Jun has been suspicious since Lu Xun and is bent on picking up cheap, but it is conceivable that they cannot go all out from the beginning like the Shu army. In terms of subjective conditions, Wei Ba also has a greater chance of winning.

Therefore, Wei Ba said that before Sima Yi's reinforcements arrived, there was a great chance of capturing Fancheng, and even if the Wei army's iron cavalry arrived, they could retreat into the city and defend the city.

If Sima Yi couldn't find a fighter in Fancheng, then he would definitely try his best to relieve the siege of Xiangyang first. In this way, the final goal is completed. Unless one of them is willing to give up on his own initiative, Sima Yi and Lu Xun will inevitably have a fierce battle. In such a strategic place as Xiangyang, it is impossible for Wei to be willing to let go, and since Lu Xun has arrived in Xiangyang, he probably will not retreat. Wei Ba believes that the reason why Lu Xun rushed to the city is unlikely to be because he was stimulated, but because Lu Xun himself really took this opportunity to take Xiangyang.

This was originally the starting point of this plan, and without this starting point, it would be impossible to mobilize Lu Xun, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Although Jihua was close to success strategically, Wei Ba still did not dare to be careless. He knew very well what kind of opponent he was facing, Lu Xun and Sima Yi were the most outstanding generals in the Later Three Kingdoms, not to mention that Sun Quan, the king of Wu, and Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei, were also a stone's throw away, as long as there was any negligence, it was possible to succeed.

This is also the reason why he persuaded Wu Yi to agree to give Meng Da more benefits in order to stimulate Meng Da to capture Fancheng as soon as possible. Only when you enter the city can you be considered truly safe.

……

Outside Dunse, the Wei army camp.

Sima Yi sat at the back of the desk. Eyes hang down. Breathe steadily, like an old monk in a steady state. Sima Shi sat opposite him, looking equally calm. On the case between them, there was an urgent report that had just been opened.

Wu's army besieged Xiangyang. The Shu army is storming Fancheng. The situation in the Xiangfan area has reached the point of no further urgency.

But there was not a trace of anxiety on the faces of the father and son.

Thirty thousand troops. has been in front of the little Dunse for half a month, so long that even Deng Xian in Dunseli is a little embarrassed, and Wei Jun is also complaining. But the father and son remained indifferent and at ease.

Sima Yi suddenly opened his eyes: "Order the attack!" ”

Sima Shi was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyelids: "Don't wait?" ”

"No waiting." Sima Yi seemed to have made up his mind, and his eyebrows suddenly became vivid. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Since Bixia hasn't let go of his mouth for so long, I think he is very wary of me." If you keep going, I'm afraid it won't be beautiful. ”

Sima Shi's eyebrows frowned slightly: "But father, in such a situation, he doesn't rely on his father, who can he rely on?" Could he have transferred Cao Zhen to come, or would he rather give up Jingxiang and retreat to Luoyang? ”

"Ziyuan, you're not too young." Sima Yi glanced at his son: "Do you think the surname Cao is Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu can lead the troops?" If it weren't for those things back then, how could it be my turn to be in charge of the army. ”

Sima Shi was stunned for a moment, and his face changed greatly: "Father, you mean that...... King Yongqiu? ”

Sima Yi nodded: "I just received the news, King Yongqiu is very thoughtful, and he has just written a letter asking for self-examination, which is quite damaging, I am worried about ......" Sima Yi shook his head: "At this time, it is not advisable to be too sharp, my father and son are better to be cautious." ”

Sima Shi changed color in shock, the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily, and he nodded silently. He knew very well what his father meant, if he pressed it too hard, Bixia would turn to the Cao clan, especially the King of Yongqiu, who was afraid that it would be very unfavorable to his father and son. After enduring it for so many years, it was easy to survive Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen was about to return to heaven, if he let the other Cao family members come out, it would be worth the loss.

"What my father said is very true."

"Xiangyang City is strong, Lu Xun has 50,000 people, and it is difficult to overcome it in a hurry, first repel the Shu army, and then cut off one of its arms." Sima Yi stood up and walked slowly in the tent, analyzing the current situation as he walked. "Find that Ma Jun and let Jin Dongliu cooperate with him to find a way to cross the river as soon as possible. I reckon that the fine rider will ...... soon."

Before Sima Yi finished speaking, someone outside the tent shouted to see him. Sima Yi stopped talking and let the man in.

"General, Bixia's messenger has arrived."

"Oh?" Sima Yi and his son glanced at each other, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly cleaned up and went out to greet each other. When they saw the envoy, Si Sima Yi laughed and arched his hand: "George, why are you?" ”

Xin Bi smiled: "Who does the general think it will be?" ”

Sima Yi smiled and shook his head, and invited Xin Bi into the camp. After entering the account, Xin Bi announced the edict, and it turned out that Emperor Cao Rui of Wei took Xin Bi as the general of the hussar army, held the festival, and supervised the generals to rescue Fancheng and Xiangyang.

After worshipping the edict, Sima Yi didn't look nervous at all, and smiled calmly: "What other arrangements does Bixia have?" ”

Xin Bi looked at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Bixia is about to go on a personal expedition, and he has ordered the Fuyi general Tian Yu to unify the Wanjing cavalry from Xuchang, and ordered the Xiao cavalry general Qin Lang to unify the tiger and leopard cavalry to accompany the army to conquer." I estimate that in less than three days, 20,000 iron horsemen will arrive. Bixia asks you to choose a good place to cross the water before then. ”

Sima Yi and Sima Shi exchanged a look, and their hearts couldn't help but beat in shock. Xin Bi is a native of Yingchuan, and the close ministers around the Son of Heaven are not on good terms, and he has been idle all these years, and he was suddenly used as a hussar general and military division, which shows that the Son of Heaven realized the urgency of the situation in front of him. But even in such a situation, the Son of Heaven would rather conquer in person, but also hold the 20,000 iron horsemen tightly in his hands, and the meaning of vigilance is very obvious.

Sima Yi smiled slightly: "It seems that Bixia is still not very comfortable with us." ”

Xin Bi exhaled and didn't answer Sima Yi's words, and after a while, he suddenly said inexplicably: "Changwen's eldest son, Chen Tai, has entered the Shi and served as a loose rider by Bixia's side." ”

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, his hand stroking his beard lingered in the air for a moment, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Bixia's methods, I'm afraid there are more than these, right?" ”

Xin Bi stroked his beard and said lightly: "King Yan has entered the court, and King Yongqiu has just migrated to Dong'a." ”

Sima Yi nodded and didn't say anything more. Yan King Cao Yu is the playmate of the Son of Heaven since he was a child, his relationship is very good, and he has always been favored, which doesn't mean anything, but Cao Zhi, the king of Yongqiu, is a very dangerous signal. If you look at it together with Chen Taijinshi, the son of Chen Qun, who has been suppressed, the problem is even more meaningful. Chen Tai's mother is Xun Yu's daughter, because of Xun Yu's involvement, Chen Tai has not been able to enter the office in his thirties, and now he suddenly enters the office, naturally the Son of Heaven wants to win over Chen Qun to show his respect. The purpose, of course, is to cultivate liliang within the family and divide the unity of the family.

With one hand to reuse the clan and the other hand to win over the family, the emperor's imperial technique of the Son of Heaven is really clever, just like the martial emperor Cao Cao back then.

Sima Yi was secretly frightened and didn't dare to be careless. He immediately ordered Jin Dongliu and Ma Jun to prepare pontoon bridges in case the iron cavalry led by Tian Yu and Qin Lang arrived and could cross the Han River to fight. Ma Jun witnessed the battle of the Shu army attacking the pontoon bridge, and had further experience in the obstacles he designed. There may be some problems to deal with the Shu army, but it is not difficult to deal with the Wu army's water division.

While preparing the pontoon bridge, Sima Yi ordered a storming of Dunse. The Wei army changed the fatigue of the previous days and rushed to Dunse like a tidal wave, and the wave after wave of offensives made Dunsai not even have time to catch his breath, and the casualties increased rapidly. While attacking head-on, Sima Yi also sent people to climb the hills on both sides and shoot condescendingly.

It was only half a day's work, and Dunse was broken. Deng Xian, with more than 300 remnants, withdrew from Dunse in embarrassment and hid in the mountains. Sima Yi did not chase him, and commanded the army to quickly pass through Dunsai and go straight to Fancheng.

On a hidden hill two or three hundred paces away, Ma Jian and Wei Feng stood on a tree, looking at the arrows speeding and shouting the sound of killing Dunse. They watched as Deng Xian was defeated by Sima Yi, and watched as the Wei army passed through the city and hurried in the direction of Fancheng. Wei Feng was about to kill several times, but was stopped by Ma Yan.

Ma Jian only said one sentence from beginning to end: "It's not time yet." ”

Wei Feng was anxious: "Then when will it be time?" ”

"Wait for worthy goals to emerge." Ma Jian said: "Ziyu handed over the most powerful soldiers to you, so that you can undertake the most arduous task and make the greatest merit, instead of guarding Dunsai and harassing Sima Yi's army. ”

"But let them go to Fancheng like this, how can Ziyu beat Fancheng?"

"If Ziyu didn't even have this preparation, he would still dare to come to fight Fancheng?" Ma Yan glanced at Wei Feng, jumped off the tree, and strode forward. Wei Feng hurriedly followed, and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Youchang, there are only more than 20,000 people around Ziyu now, and Sima Yi has nearly 30,000 people, they may not be able to win a frontal battle, where can they spare their hands to attack Fancheng?" ”

Ma Yan suddenly stopped and looked at Wei Feng in surprise: "Zirou, at this time, you still use such a simple method as the number of people to measure the strength of the two sides?" You still don't know where Ziyu's strengths are? ”

Wei Feng blinked a little blankly: "Of course I know that although Ziyu's martial arts skills are not very good, he has a good brain. ”

"That's right." Ma Jian continued to walk forward: "Ziyu's talent in machinery can help him exert the strength of more than 20,000 people into 50,000 people. It's just a Fancheng, and it's not Xiangyang, how can it stop him. ”

"That's the same, how could Fan Cheng stop my brother." Wei Feng was also relieved, and while striding to catch up with Ma Yan, he asked with great interest, "Then what are we doing now?" ”

"Wait." Ma Tan replied cleanly.
