After Cao Zhen was sick for a few months, he saw Sima Yi shrinking into the village and delayed fighting with the Shu army, and he also saw through Sima Yi's strategy for a while.

If you expect the deep ditch and high fortress to cut off the food and grass of the Shu army, you will retreat without a fight.

It's so simple, why Sima Yi?

He can too!

Why did you want Sima Yi to be the governor of these three armies?

Xu has been idle for a long time and bored, perhaps because of the jealousy in his heart, Cao Zhen has recently frequently sent Cao Shuang to Luoyang, and constantly made suggestions to Cao Rui, the lord of Wei.

In addition, the spies of the Shu army in Luoyang are working together.

For a time, it was rumored that Sima Yi was afraid of the Shu army and did not dare to fight, and consumed countless money and food in the court every month, and was suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

A few days later, an angel came to Cao Wei's camp to announce the decree.

After the angel left, Sima and his son were relatively speechless, and they just kept their heads together and were silent.

Obviously, it was said by Cao Jun.

In other words, Cao Jun's strategy took effect.

Continue to shrink back, and if you don't wait for the Shu army to retreat, Sima Yi will definitely be masturbated again.

Every time you masturbate, it's like wandering on the line of life and death.

Worrying, sleeping......

Sima Yi is also fed up.

What to do?

I can only be forced out of battle.

However, there is a need to pay attention to how many troops are sent and where to fight.

Sima Yi was patient, still not impatient, stabilized his position, and sent scouts out of the camp to investigate.

After many days, an important piece of news finally came back.

"Governor of the capital, the sentry in front of me found that recently, there have been many small groups of grain transport soldiers in and out of the upper valley, full of cars, empty cars back, that Cao Jun also went to inspect many times, every time we want to get close to check the horses, they are all killed by the Shu army."

Sima Yi quickly asked people to take the map, spread it out and take a look, and was immediately overjoyed.

The upper valley is halfway up the canyon, the terrain is like a gourd, also known as the gourd valley, and there is only a winding mountain path to reach it.

All you need to do is send an elite army to defend the valley above.

According to the analysis of the sentinel information, Sima Yi was eighty percent sure that this was the location of the Shu army's grain storage.

When Sima Yi came back before, he didn't move, and his movements were amazing.

directly pulled out the street pavilion, cut off the grain route of the Shu army, and forced the Shu army to withdraw.

This battle has always made Wei generals talk about it, and they all say that Sima Yi is old and spicy with soldiers and accurate vision.

If you don't make a move, you will make a shocking shot.

Sima Yi stared at Gu above for a long time.

If this is where the Shu army is stockpiled, it will inevitably send heavy troops to defend, but it can't attack directly, not to mention the protracted time, but it will attract reinforcements from the Shu army, and the gains outweigh the losses.

On the second day, Sima Yi asked people to repeat the contents of the holy decree in front of all the Wei generals to show his determination.

It caused a lot of discussion among the Shu generals in the camp.

"Governor Dadu, as long as you hold on for a few months, the Shu army will naturally retreat when it runs out of food, but you don't need to rush to battle, so as not to fall into the treacherous tricks of the Shu army."

"Governor Dadu, that Cao Jun is more treacherous than Zhuge Liang, you must not fall for his tricks."

Sima Yi saw that most of the Wei generals were reluctant to fight, so he had to sigh: "I also know, but it's a pity that the whole dynasty is up and down, and they all make suggestions to Your Majesty...... Therefore, the governor of Pontus decided to fight the Shu army. ”

Seeing that Sima Yi had made up his mind, the generals did not continue to dissuade him.

The veteran Xu Huang suddenly came out and said: "Our army has been resting for a long time, and it is not impossible to fight with the Shu army, but where to fight and how to fight, we still have to think about it." ”

Sima Yi looked at Xu Huang, his heart full of relief.

As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure.

After Zhang He was killed and Hao Zhao was defeated and killed, Xu Huang is now the number one favorite general in Sima Yi's heart.

"What does the old general recommend?"

Xu Huang pondered for a while, and continued to suggest: "The last general feels that the battle of Jieting can be retold again, although the Shu army is now stationed on the edge of Weishui, but Jieting is still the place where the Shu army's grain road must pass, you can let one person take the Jieting, cut off the retreat of the Shu army, and then force the army slowly, let it mess with itself, so, within half a month, the Shu army can retreat!" ”

Sima Yi nodded after hearing this.

This Xu Huang is not as well-informed as him, and it is already very good to be able to see the key point of the street pavilion.

The sneak attack on Shanggu is a matter of success or failure, and Sima Yi will not say anything.

Directly ordered: "Xu Huang listens to the order, you lead the army straight to attack the Shu army camp, you can attack with all your strength, be sure to attract the attention of all the Shu army, let them lead troops to rescue, you don't have to capture Shu Village, just delay for a day, I have my own plan." ”

"No!"

"I will lead 50,000 soldiers to take a key place, if I take here, the Shu army will retreat without a fight, then this battle is stable!"

After Sima Yi made up his plan, he frequently sent scouts to pay close attention to the Shu army's every move and look for a good opportunity to fight.

At this moment, Cao Jun is in the valley above.

He was accompanied by a person, who was Wang Ping, who had never shown up, but was sent by Cao Jun to garrison the upper valley.

Cao Jun also likes Wang Ping's advantages of being cautious and having strong execution.

"You can continue to build wooden fences, dig deep trenches in the camp, and accumulate more dry wood to start fires."

"On the surrounding mountains, firewood and grass are mostly used to build nests, and there are mines inside and outside."

"Then cut off the back road of the gourd valley, and ambush the soldiers in the valley, if Sima Yi comes to attack, let him enter the valley, then set the mines and dry firewood on fire, and I will lead the army to cut off the back road."

The more Wang Ping listened, the more surprised he became.

If this is arranged, then as long as Sima Yi comes to Hulu Valley, I am afraid that there will be no return.

Together with the Wei army he brought, most of them will be buried in the fire.

However, he was always cautious, so he couldn't help but ask, "Deputy Governor, will Sima Yi come?" ”

Cao Jun looked up at the sky, and he couldn't guarantee in his heart, "It should come!" ”

If the historical trajectory had not changed, then Sima Yi would have noticed the abnormality here, and with his shrewdness, he would definitely send troops to attack.

Whether he personally led the army, Cao Jun could not be sure.

As long as Wei Jun dared to come, Cao Jun would not dislike it.

It would be good to annihilate tens of thousands of Wei soldiers.

At that time, the progress of task 3 will definitely take a big step forward, which is why he is most concerned.

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye.

Cao Jun set off again to inspect the upper valley, and this time he was clearly seen by the Wei army, and immediately reported to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi immediately raised the drum and raised the tent, and the army opened the waves.

That Xu Huang led 200,000 soldiers and horses, and attacked the Shu army camp mightily.

Now in the large camp is the commander of the battle, it is General Ma Dai.

He unhurriedly arranged the defense according to Cao Jun's instructions.

The strength of the two sides was equal, and the Shu army had the convenience of the camp, and although the two sides were stuck together for a while, the Wei army did not get any cheap.

One after another, a small group of people from the periphery of the Shu army rushed back to help.

Jiang Wei led 5,000 sergeants into the Shu army camp from the side.

Soon after, Meng Da led 20,000 soldiers back to help.

This was followed by Liao Hua......

Only Cao Jun and Wang Ping were missing.

Now that Cao Jun is in the upper valley, Sima Yi naturally knows.

But where did Wang Ping go?

Could it be that he is also stationed in the upper valley?

Sima Yi was worried that as time went by, the strength of the Shu army continued to increase, and Xu Huang's pressure became more and more intense, and he couldn't wait.

Hesitantly, he led 50,000 soldiers to the upper valley.

Although it was obstructed by a small group of Shu troops along the way, the Wei army relied on the superiority of its strength and pushed all the way to the upper valley.

When attacking the upper valley, he finally encountered resistance from the Shu army stationed here.

After half a day of brutal fighting, the Wei army finally entered the valley.
