Chapter 123: Siege and Reinforcements
After Sima Yi arrived at the front, he quickly refreshed the spirit of the Wei army.
And then...... Continue to shrink in the camp and not come out.
After Cao Jun and Jiang Wei summed up, they decided to take the initiative to attack and force the Wei army out.
This time the grain and grass have arrived, the morale of the Shu army is booming, and it is the time to expand the results of the battle.
Even Sima Yi has not much to do in the face of an all-round weak situation.
In the camp of the Shu army.
Cao Jun stroked the handsome sword, and his eyes swept over the faces of the generals in the camp tent.
After quelling Wei Yan's rebellion, he is the only person in the current Shu army village, and he has not seen him for a few days, and his majesty is even greater.
"That Sima Yi, blindly shrinking, which general is willing to lead an army to attack Wucheng and lure out the Wei army!"
As soon as Cao Jun's words fell, the generals were eager to try.
This is a rare opportunity to lead an army alone.
Cao Jun saw everyone's performance in his eyes.
He swept his gaze, jumped over Meng Da and Wang Ping on the left, and slowly stopped at Ma Dai on the right.
This Ma Dai had a clear team and an excellent performance in the previous 'Wei Yan' incident, so it was time to give him some rewards.
"General Ma, this battle is none other than you."
Ma Dai was overjoyed.
He took two steps forward and said, "Deputy Governor, the last general will take Wucheng within three days!" ”
After Cao Jun and Jiang Wei glanced at each other, they laughed out loud.
Jiang Wei, as a member of the army, knew the whole plan, and he didn't hide it at the moment, and explained to Ma Dai: "I naturally believe in the general's ability, but this martial city is a small city, and it won't be of much use to capture it." ”
"General Ma should be slower when attacking the city, it is best to make General Wei frightened, and he can hold it every time, and if it lasts for a month, it will be a meritorious service."
Ma Dai was immediately confused.
The generals of the battalion were also confused.
But if you attack a city, I only heard that the sooner the better, and if you can take it in one day, you can take it in one day, how can you take it in three days, and you have to drag it out for a month?
However, when they saw Cao Jun and Jiang Wei smiling treacherously, after thinking about it carefully, some people quickly came back to it.
Ma Dai asked first: "But you don't fight but you don't fight, just wait for Sima Yi to send troops to rescue?" ”
"Exactly!"
Now the generals finally understood.
If in later generations, this trick is called 'besieging the city and sending reinforcements', which has long been recorded in Sun Tzu's Art of War.
However, at this time, the literacy rate was generally not high, and many generals had been fighting in the army for many years, but they had never even seen what Sun Tzu's art of war looked like, and they only relied on rich combat experience to make up for it.
Ma Dai led 20,000 elite soldiers out of the camp.
Cao Jun has taken the lead in making a move, so it depends on how Sima Yi responds.
A few days later, Wucheng's letter for help was delivered to the Wei army camp.
Sima Yi stood behind the desk with his hands behind his back, looking at the generals below him and was silent for a long time.
For a while, the atmosphere in the tent was a little depressing.
The generals glanced left and right, and Qi Qi focused his gaze on Xu Huang, who was in the first place on the right.
But it was urging him to open his mouth and make up his mind.
After Sima Yi 'entered the palace for the second time', Xu Huang was also transferred back from the logistics department.
His identity as a veteran of the Three Dynasties is not good for Cao Zhen, but he is very comfortable with Sima Yi.
Xu Huang was silent for a moment, then took two steps forward and asked, "Governor, but there is movement in the Shu army?" ”
Sima Yi came back to his senses after a long while, and he replied helplessly: "Yes! That Cao Jun is the new deputy governor, and he is in full swing, and he won a big victory from Cao Zhen before, but now he doesn't take us seriously. ”
The generals sighed when they saw Sima Yi, but they didn't reveal any key information, and they looked left and right for a while, and their faces were shhh
Sima Yixu was silent enough, and suddenly patted the handsome case and said: "The governor of Bendu just received a letter asking for help, the general of the Shu army, Ma Dai, led 20,000 elite soldiers to surround Wucheng, Wucheng is in an emergency, which general is willing to lead an army to solve the urgent situation of Wucheng!" ”
A young general suddenly jumped out on the left side of the handsome case, "The last general is willing to go!" ”
"Okay, I promise you 5,000 elite soldiers, and set off immediately!"
The young general did not shirk, gave his hand, and turned out of the tent.
Sima Yi's eyes kept chasing the young general's back and disappeared, and then he sighed heavily, "After General Sun Li deserves to be a famous general, his feelings for serving the country are intense, but I can't bear General Sun's sacrifice in vain!" ”
The generals were also confused at this time, Sun Ligang led the army to relieve the siege of Wucheng, why did the deputy governor say this?
Xu Huang was the only one, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly arched his hand and said: "The metropolitan governor is worried that the Shu army is besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and General Sun Li will definitely ambush the Shu army when he goes?" ”
"However, how can the Pontus not see such a simple plan?"
"But if you don't go, when the other cities are besieged, there will be no reinforcements, and the defenders will definitely fall into despair and surrender in Kaejo, so the governor of Pontus knows that it is a plan, and he has to save it!"
The generals understood this, and suddenly exchanged heads and ears again.
After a long time, the deputy governor Guo Huai stepped forward, "The governor of the capital, the last general is willing to lead an army to rescue General Sun." ”
Sima Yi stared at Guo Huai for a while, and said: "Okay, let you lead 5,000 troops, go and save General Sun, and return if you rescue him, don't care if Wucheng falls." ”
After Guo Huai received the order, he also got up and said goodbye.
The generals think that the Shu army's siege plan should be broken, right?
Who knew that Sima Yi was still silent.
Xu Huang suggested again: "The Metropolitan Governor is worried that General Sun and Deputy Governor Guo Huai will never return? ”
"Yes!"
"The last general is willing to lead an army and go to meet it, and he will definitely be able to bring General Sun Li and Deputy Governor Guo back safely."
"Okay, I order you to lead 10,000 sergeants to pick up the two generals, remember, just send people out, go and return quickly!"
"No!"
After the three generals left the camp one after another, Sima Yi's face softened and came back.
Except for Xu Huang, all the generals in the camp couldn't see through the entanglement in Sima Yi's heart.
Although the siege of the city is just a simple strategy, it is not difficult to see through, but his power lies in this is a conspiracy, you know that it is a plan, and you have to save it.
Otherwise, the morale of the Wei army, which had just recovered, would fall to the bottom again.
The first wave of Sun Li's 5,000 reinforcements was not about whether they could relieve the siege of Wucheng, but for other generals who defended the city;
If your city is besieged, please hold on for a moment longer, and resist the Shu army to the end, and most of the governors will not abandon you.
The second wave of Guo Huai's 5,000 reinforcements was made for other generals to see;
If you are caught in an ambush while carrying out military orders, don't be afraid! The Governor will send troops to your rescue.
As for the 10,000 reinforcements of the third wave of Xu Huang, it is the real reinforcements.
Responsible for rescuing the 2 generals in front.
As for ordinary sergeants, they can only ask for more blessings!
Now that the situation is critical, it is no longer possible to take care of it.
This simple plan that Cao Jun and Jiang Wei came up with was only resolved by asking Sima Yilian to send three reinforcements out.
Afterwards, Sima Yi sat alone on the steps of the tent, while his son Sima Zhao stood aside.
"Father, the plan of the Shu army has been solved, why are you still sullen?"
Sima Yi glanced at Sima Zhao, hated iron and said: "It is said that Cao Jun is the same age as you, but he can use such an old and spicy strategy, compared to Zhuge Liang, he is not too reckless, my son seems useless compared to him, this is the reason why I am depressed." ”
"I can survive Zhuge Liang, but I can't survive this Cao Jun, now there are successors to the Shu army, but I have no successors, ten years later, my Sima family, isn't it dangerous?"
When Sima Zhao heard this, he was immediately ashamed.
I wanted to refute, "That Cao Jun performed amazingly in the battle of the street pavilion before, I said a long time ago that this son is talented, and I want to pull him into my command, but you don't allow it, and now you blame me, what's the reason?" ”
