One hundred miles west of Xiao County, on the south bank of the water.

Sima Yi pushed Sima Zhao's wheelchair and walked slowly along the embankment by the river, the guards were all a hundred steps away, and no one dared to win over their father and son at this time.

When Xiahou Ba decided to move closer to Pengcheng, Sima Yi received news from Sima Shi. It is only more than a hundred miles from Qiaojun to Suiyang, and the fast horse can arrive in half a day, and what happened in Qiaojun in the morning, Sima Yi can know in the evening.

The father and son studied all night, and were stunned by Zhang He's Jihua, and at the same time ecstatic.

If Zhang He's Jihua can really be realized, then not only can Pengcheng be recaptured, but it is also very likely to severely damage Wei Ba, and even ...... Kill Wei Ba.

Of course, there is another possibility that makes them excited: Zhang He died in battle. Compared with killing Wei Ba, this possibility is more likely, because Zhang He was originally a Jihua who fought for his life, and he and Wei Ba gambled on their lives. If he wants to survive, he can only count on Wei Ba to make mistakes and expect Wei Ba to retreat. If Wei Ba did not make mistakes and refused to back down, and wanted to compete with him, the possibility of Zhang He's death in battle was much greater than that of Wei Ba.

For Sima Yi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Internal and external troubles should be eliminated together.

Faced with such a big pie, Sima Yi even suspected that Zhang He was playing a trick on him. But after all the calculations, he felt that Zhang He couldn't do this. The reason is very simple, Zhang He can't mobilize him, and the chance of success is very small. Even if he left Suiyang, he had an army of 20,000, and no one could easily trap him.

In other words, even if this is Zhang He's plan. The initiative is also in the hands of him Sima Yi. As long as he doesn't make stupid mistakes, there will be no danger.

Therefore, Sima Yi instructed Sima Shi to accept Xiahou Ba's order and move closer to Pengcheng, and at the same time rode out of Suiyang with 15,000 steps and quietly rushed here. This place is between Pengcheng and Suiyang, whether it is to help Pengcheng or return to Suiyang, he can arrive within a day.

Sima Zhao's leg was broken and he couldn't ride a horse normally. Sima Yi asked Ma Jun to design a saddle so that Sima Zhao could ride forward. But on horseback. Unable to exert force in both legs. Balance can only be maintained by waist strength and hands, and it is still a very physically demanding activity. So between marches, it became a rare pleasure to sit back in a wheelchair. At the same time, it is also a good opportunity for father and son to communicate.

"Xiahou Ba asked his brother to line up in Xiaoshan. I'm afraid it's a bit wishful thinking. "Look at the clear stream of water. Sima Zhao chuckled: "His teasing may be effective for ordinary people, but it may not be of much use to Lu Xun." Lu Xun has been in his southwest direction. It is enough to show that it is possible for him to bypass Wuxian and go to Pengcheng. ”

"That's all Xiahouba can do." Sima Yi said lightly: "Actually, he didn't expect Ziyuan to stop Lu Xun, all he wanted was to use the speed of the cavalry to open the distance and kill Wei Ba before Lu Xun arrived in Pengcheng." Half a day is enough, not to mention that he may have a day. ”

"Well, this tactic is familiar." Sima Zhao sighed and leaned on the back of his wheelchair: "Father, when Wei Ba captured Guanzhong, he used this tactic to take advantage of the opportunity of our army to fight Lu Xun in the southeast and not return in time, and captured Tongguan in one fell swoop. ”

"Later, he also used it in Wuling."

"Father is talking about the battle to take Chenyang?"

Sima Yi nodded. "People think that Wei Ba likes to take risks, but in fact, he is just more calculating. The time difference of one and a half days may not solve any problems for others, but for him, he can achieve surprising victory. ”

"He used the art of private fighting on the battlefield." Sima Zhao pursed his lips: "However, because his armament is strong and he can fight quickly, he can make this half-day difference the key to victory." ”

"yes, his ordnance...... It is indeed the most haode in the world. Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "The difference is a millimeter, and the loss is a thousand miles." ”

"That Zhang He wants to use Wei Ba's best tactics against Wei Ba this time, isn't there a drum and thunder gate, and he will laugh at the generous family?"

"Not really." Sima Yi shook his head: "Zhang He's courage is much greater this time, and moreover, he has also given full play to the advantages of our cavalry. Just as Wei Ba's armament is invincible in the world, in this battlefield, the superiority of our cavalry is also unmatched. He paused and said, "It seems that he has determined that Wei Ba's cavalry is not equipped with horse armor yet. ”

"He's gambling, isn't he?"

"Even if it's a gamble, it's very courageous." Sima Yi groaned: "I believe that it is his intuition. ”

Sima Zhao was also silent. In terms of strategy, their father and son may not let Zhang He, but in terms of this kind of battlefield competition, judging the situation in an instant, their father and son are obviously still not far from Zhang He. The two of them worked hard all night before they could barely guess Zhang He's jihua, but Wei Ba was about to make a judgment in an instant, and the possibility of him making a mistake was very high. Once he makes a weak response, or makes a wrong judgment, Zhang He's chances of success will greatly increase.

Leaving the other party without time to think is also a tactic.

It is possible for him to make a miraculous feat, a miraculous feat, which is enough to affect the situation in the world, defeat Wei Ba, who has never been defeated since his debut, turn the tide, and become the mainstay of Great Wei.

If this is the case, then Sima Yi, the great general, is a little embarrassed. His decision to hold on to Suiyang will become ironclad proof of his cowardice, and the merits of the Battle of Luoyang will be insignificant compared to Zhang He's exploits.

Luoyang guards a city, and Zhang He guards a country, can they be compared?

Therefore, while they admired Zhang He's courage to fight, they were a little uneasy in their hearts.

Waiting here is also a last resort. However, how could this not be one of Zhang He's jihuas?

……

Lu Xun paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back. His palms were sweaty, full of cold sweat, but there was no nervousness on his face.

Wei Yan stood in front of him, anxious and angry, his face was red for a while, and white for a while.

The Wei army was separated from the cavalry, and Xiahou Ba led all the cavalry to speed up to Pengcheng, Wei Yan didn't know what he wanted to do, but Wei Ba might be in danger, which went without saying. With the addition of Xiahou Ba's men and horses, Zhang He will have 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers, and he has enough advantages in the face of Wei Ba's 30,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 cavalry.

With today's plan, only if Lu Xun catches up quickly, it is possible to save Wei Ba.

Wei Yan came to ask Lu Xun.

Lu Xun didn't agree, he paced back and forth in the big tent for a meal, but Wei Yan still didn't hear what he wanted to hear.

Wei Yan was really anxious, and said angrily: "Bo Yan, you think about it, I will lead the cavalry to help Pengcheng." With that, he turned and left.

"General Buncho." Lu Xun shouted, and with a wave of his hand, the two guards stopped in front of Wei Yan. Wei Yan was furious, turned his head, and looked at Lu Xun viciously, his eyes were as fierce as a wolf: "Is Bo Yan trying to order me?" ”

"No, I just wanted to remind you." Lu Xun strode to the map and nodded between Xiangxian and Pengcheng: "Wen Chang, don't forget, you are rushing to Pengcheng now, you may have fallen into the trap of Xiahou Ba." ”

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale. Who said that Xiahouba must have gone to Pengcheng if he suddenly accelerated and left? In case he waited for him on the way, 10,000 elite horsemen waited for him, 5,000 horsemen waiting for him, and even Zhang He killed him from the side, with three or four times his strength, he would never be able to survive.

"Wen Chang, you believe me, Ziyu is good at guarding, his formation is not so easy to break." Lu Xun was a little distracted for a while, he remembered the battle of Linhe Mountain. In that battle, Wei Ba lured him to go all out, and then sent someone to raid his Chinese army, which hit him with one blow. That battle was slightly different from today, at that time Wei Ba was prepared, but today he may have responded in a hurry, I don't know if he can still defend his position tightly.

"But ......"

"Even if he can't hold on land, he can retreat to the battleship. His warships are invincible in the world, not to mention 20,000 cavalry, even if it is 100,000 cavalry, within a day or two, it is impossible to break through his defense. Lu Xun didn't give Wei Yan any time to react, and continued: "In my opinion, Zhang He's desire to use the advantage of cavalry to inflict heavy damage on your father and son is even stronger than the desire to kill Ziyu. Without you 10,000 riders, when will we be able to retrain so many people? Even if Ziyu's horse armor is created, who can it equip? Moreover, if all of your 10,000 elite cavalry are wiped out, not only will we not be able to hold Pengcheng, but retreat will also be a big problem. Thousands of miles of pursuit, how many people can return to Guangling and Jiangling? Losing all the horses and horses, how can Ziyu sit in Qingxu and stabilize the battlefield on the Eastern Front? ”

Wei Yan's face turned pale. Lu Xun painted him the result of a great collapse. He is not a stupid person, he is also a fierce general who has fought for many years, of course he knows that what Lu Xun said is not impossible, but a very likely result. As it stands, what is the most powerful weapon of their father and son? It was the cavalry, the cavalry that was about to be equipped with horse armor. Don't look at Wei Ba's smooth sailing before, but it was a battle with the Wu army, which also lacked cavalry, so I couldn't see the gap, but now it was fighting with the Wei army with strong cavalry, without strong cavalry, they would never have the upper hand.

Wei Ba Weishenme has to spend a lot of money to build horse armor? Because there was no source of war horses, he could only strengthen the quality of the cavalry. But without cavalry as a basis, no matter how good the horse armor is, it can only make wedding dresses for people.

In the long run, even if all the infantry in Wei Ba's hands were killed, they could be replenished quickly, and if the cavalry died in battle, then he would not be able to rebuild such a large cavalry in three or five years.

From the immediate point of view, if the cavalry under his command of Wei Feng suffered too large losses and were not enough to cover the foot soldiers, then Wei Ba and Lu Xun could only retreat, and under the thousands of miles of pursuit of the Wei cavalry, they would be severely damaged, and the foot soldiers would not be able to protect them either. Without strength, what else will Wei Ba use to control Qingxu and control the battlefield on the Eastern Front?

That's a lose-all situation.

Compared to not chasing, the result of chasing is worse.

So, just watch Wei Ba being rushed to death by Zhang He with 20,000 cavalry?

Wei Yan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He asked in a dumb voice, "Bo Yan, what good can you do?" ”

Lu Xun stepped forward, pulled Wei Yan back to the map, and said with a relaxed smile: "Wen Chang, look, who else is there besides Peng Cheng and us?" ”

Wei Yan's eyes were fixed on the map, and he didn't see the wetness of Lu Xun's sideburns
