Chapter 129: Defending instead of Attacking Boyan Has Arrived (Ask for Subscription, Ask for Votes!) )
Before and after coming to Sun Quan, Sima Yi took the lead in bowing to Sun Quan, "Wei Chen Sima Yi greeted the hussar general."
Sima Yi's previous official position was that of Prince Wei's middle concubine, which was an official position dedicated to assisting Cao Pi.
And this year, he was transferred by Cao Cao to the Sima of Wei Wangjun, who specially planned military aircraft for him.
So now Sima Yi is a Wei bureaucrat, not a Hanchen.
Looking at Sima Yi, who was dressed in black, Sun Quan recalled one thing that Lu Meng had asked him for at the beginning.
At that time, Lü Meng was about to go on an expedition, but he asked him to take Sima Yi with him.
Lü Meng's reason was that since Sima Yi was sending troops to Jiangdong for Cao Cao for the sake of the two families jointly sending troops, he should take him to the public security to review the progress of his army.
Lü Meng's second reason was to bring Sima Yi with him in the army, which could also allow him to observe the combat strength of the Jiangdong army in detail.
In this way, when Sima Yi returns to the north in the future, Cao Cao will not easily conquer Jiangdong after learning about Jiangdong's current combat strength from Sima Yi.
Although it now seems that Lu Meng's second reason at that time had become a joke after Mi Yang's repeated victories over the Jiangdong army.
But at that time, these two suggestions of Lü Meng persuaded Sun Quan.
Especially Lü Meng's second reason.
Sun Quan knew that his alliance with Cao Cao was for the sake of their common enemy, Liu Bei.
Once Liu Bei is defeated, then after getting Jingzhou's strength greatly increased, he will inevitably become Cao Cao's number one target.
Therefore, in order to promote his own martial might and deter the enemy in the north, Sun Quan also agreed to Lü Meng's invitation at that time.
As for whether Cao Cao would send troops to attack him under the pretext of rashly detaining the envoy in the future, Sun Quan was not worried at all.
After he took Jingzhou, even if there was no Sima Yi, Cao Cao would turn the main target of the attack to him.
As for the honest handle left with Cao Cao, he didn't know how many there were for a long time, and it was not bad to prevent Sima Yi from returning north.
In order to fulfill Lü Meng's request, Sun Quan also sent an envoy to the north to inform Cao Cao that he would temporarily leave Sima Yi in Jiangdong.
Sun Quan's envoy informed Cao Cao that the reason for leaving Sima Yi behind was:
"Bring the envoy with the army, and live up to the expectations of the king of Wei with the urgency of the army."
Cao Cao is not his son Cao Pi, who will be deceived by Sun Quan's diplomatic trickery.
He saw through Sun Quan's intentions at a glance.
It's just that at that time, he put all his energy on Guan Yu's army.
He didn't have the rest of the energy to care about Sima Yi's life and death, which he had long feared.
Besides, he now needs Sun Quan to send troops to attack Guan Yu together.
Therefore, after Sun Quan's envoy reported this matter to him, he was noncommittal about this matter.
Everything will wait until Guan Yu is defeated first.
With Sun Quan's support and Cao Cao's deliberate ignorance, Sima Yi was taken by Lu Meng for more than a month.
If it weren't for his request for Sun Quan to meet him today, I'm afraid Sun Quan would have forgotten that there is still such a Wei minister as Sima Yi in the army.
Sun Quan looked at Sima Yi with a puzzled gaze.
Although he was puzzled by Sima Yi's sudden request to see him, seeing that Sima Yi was very respectful to him, and he was not at all in awe of him like Mi Yang, which made Sun Quan feel very satisfied in his heart.
….
Therefore, he asked Sima Yi in a gentle tone, "Is there anything important for Wei envoys to ask to see Gu?"
Later, Sun Quan seemed to notice why Sima Yi came, so he continued to ask Sima Yi, "Does the envoy want to go back to the Central Plains?"
In Sun Quan's opinion, if Sima Yi came to ask him for this matter today, he could have agreed.
With Lü Meng seriously ill and his own army suffering repeated defeats, it no longer makes sense to leave Sima Yi in the Jiangdong army.
Faced with Sun Quan's inquiry, Sima Yi arched his hand and said, "The foreign minister has this request in his heart, but today the foreign minister wants to see the prince, not only for this reason, but also for the prince."
Hearing Sima Yi say this, Sun Quan was interested, and it was really interesting that a Wei Chen would offer him advice.
He sighed softly and motioned for Sima Yi to continue.
After getting Sun Quan's permission, Sima Yi continued: "The prince is in the public security, but he wants to withdraw from the army?"
As soon as Sima Yi's first sentence came out, a solemn look immediately appeared on Sun Quan's face.
He didn't tell anyone the purpose of his coming to the public security, and even Lu Meng guessed wrong, how did Wei Chen guess it.
"Why did the minister say that?"
Seeing Sun Quan's question, Sima Yi continued, "The prince and the marquis go to the public security in person, one is either to attack, and the other is to retreat."
"And since the prince came, after the reward of General Huang's three generals, there has been no other action."
"The military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay."
"The prince did not convene the generals to discuss the military situation, nor did he order the sergeants to continue to build siege equipment."
"If the prince is here to attack, it shouldn't be like this."
"Therefore, Yi guessed that the prince would not attack now."
"And if the prince is not attacked, he must have the idea of retreating."
Seeing that Sima Yi had deduced his true intentions with reasonable evidence, Sun Quan couldn't help but glance at Sima Yi, whom he had ignored in the past.
Sima Yi continued, "Ran Yi thinks that the prince should not withdraw his troops now and give up the great opportunity to take over the public security."
Hearing Sima Yi actually say that now is a good time to win the public security, Sun Quan smiled lightly.
The Jiangdong army has been defeated in a row, and the morale of the army has been sluggish, on the other hand, the public security at this time is united, how can it be a good time to attack the public security?
Sima Zhongda is nothing more than that.
Looking at the disdain on Sun Quan's face, Sima Yi was not surprised, he just continued,
"Now the police are strong, and they are very capable of turning it around."
"But what if the food and grass in the public security city are about to run out?"
Sima Yi's tone was very gentle, but his last sentence fell on Sun Quan's ears, but it exploded like a thunderclap, causing Sun Quan's face to move.
"Zhong Dayan said that the food and grass in the public security city are not enough, how to explain it?"
Sun Quan's face was full of anxious inquiry at this time.
"Jingzhou is already short of grain this year, and the public security will naturally be no exception, so there must not be much grain stored in the city."
"In order to garrison the public security, Mi Yang asked for thousands of barbarian soldiers for assistance.
Combined with the 3,000 troops he led before, the 3,000 soldiers in the previous Gong'an City, and the many Jiangdong soldiers who surrendered in two battles in the city, there should now be about 15,000 soldiers inside and outside the Gong'an."
….
"The food consumed by ten thousand soldiers in a day, even if it is not wartime, is by no means what a city can support."
Sima Yi stayed by Lü Meng's side day and night before, and Lü Meng never let Sima Yi shy away from leaving when discussing some unimportant military information.
So he learned a lot of information about Jingzhou and the public security from Lu Meng.
"It's winter, and the police are surrounded by a large army, so Mi Yang can't get food supplies from outside."
"Under all this, the first battle of the public security has lasted for nearly two months, how much military rations will there be in the public security city?"
"According to Yi's expectations, within February at most, the food in the public security city will be exhausted."
"If the army in the city is exhausted, no matter how stable the morale of the army in the city is, what is the use?"
"Doesn't the prince want to swallow the public security and capture Mi Yang alive?"
Sima Yi leaned over to tell Sun Quan his judgment, and where Sun Quan didn't see, his eyes radiated a strange brilliance.
If you are aware of the current situation and respond unexpectedly, he is the best among Cao Wei's ministers.
And when Sima Yi finished speaking, Sun Quan's face was already full of ecstasy.
Does Sun Quan want to take down the police?
Think, he dreamed of it.
Once the public security is taken by him, he can surrender the two counties of Wuling and Lingling without a fight, and the most important southern county in Jingzhou will also
Expose his soldiers.
As long as he can take Jingzhou, Sun Quan dares to risk the world's great disregard and attack his allies, what else can he not give up?
And once the public security is taken down, Mi Yang will fall into his hands, and all the humiliation he suffered in Mi Yang at that time can have a place to vent.
The reason why Sun Quan was willing to listen to Zhang Zhao's words and only defend and not attack after coming to the public security was because he knew that the public security was no longer possible to take under the morale of the army.
But in fact, as long as there is a chance to win the public security, based on the above two reasons, Sun Quan will never give up.
Now, under Sima Yi's analysis, Sun Quan learned that the public security was about to face a crisis of food shortage, and once the public security was short of food, it was his greatest opportunity to seize the public security.
Seeing the opportunity to take over the public security, Sun Quan got up and paced back and forth excitedly.
But then, Sun Quan quickly reacted to one thing.
He asked Sima Yi in a tentative tone, "You are Wei Chen, why are you planning now?"
Faced with Sun Quan's temptation, Sima Yi replied calmly:
"Because now the prince and the king of Wei are allies.
If the public security is taken by the prince, Guan Yu's back road will be cut off, and his morale will collapse, and then the king of Wei will be able to defeat Guan Yu's troops."
"I am helping the prince and my king."
The reason Sima Yi said was not half false.
Although he hated Cao Cao in his heart and suspected him many times, now the interests of his Sima family have been completely tied to the Wei State.
If Liu Bei, the sworn enemy of Wei, gains power, it will also be a great disadvantage to Sima Yi.
Although Cao Cao led 100,000 troops to Fancheng, Sima Yi knew that it was the last 100,000 mobile troops that Cao Cao had drawn from all over the country with the power of Wei.
If the 100,000-strong army is defeated again, Wei Sheji will face great difficulties.
In order to avoid this disaster, seeing that Cao Cao had no advance in Fancheng, he could only plan for Sun Quan.
….
He hoped that Sun Quan could tear a hole in Jingzhou from the public security, so that Guan Yu's army would collapse.
This is also the desperate plan he planned for Cao Cao at the beginning, against Guan Yu!
And Sima Yi's reason, Sun Quan did not have much doubt after thinking about it.
It's just that he can't either, so he completely believes what Sima Yi said.
Sima Yi also knew that because of his sensitive identity, Sun Quan could not fully believe his words, so Sima Yi finally said to Sun Quan:
"According to Yi's expectations, the prince will be under the public security city for another two months, and there will definitely be good news."
"There is no need for the prince to retreat in a hurry, anyway, the two-month period is fleeting, why don't the prince wait?"
"And my king is confronting Guan Yu outside Fancheng, if my king can defeat Guan Yu within these two months, the public security will also be in the prince's pocket."
"The prince should not easily retreat because of a momentary defeat, so as not to regret it later."
"Don't forget the battle of Jingzhou today, it is the prince and my king who jointly send troops, as long as one family is strong, Jingzhou will be defeated!"
"This is the strategy of defending instead of attacking."
When Sima Yi said this, Sun Quan, who had always been defeated and defeated repeatedly, was completely moved.
As long as he obediently stays outside the public security city for two months, as long as he does not retreat in a hurry, he may take the public security, how can this make Sun Quan not moved?
Sun Quan looked at Sima Yi with approving, and he exclaimed, "King Wei is very fortunate to have Qing's help."
Sima Yi faced Sun Quan's admiration, but his face showed shame.
"The number of talents in the north is incomparable."
"A person with such a mediocre talent as Yi is really like a carp crossing the river is innumerable, otherwise, how can Yi do it!
The prince praised it."
Sima Yi's self-humility did not seem to be a problem to Sun Quan.
Cao Cao, who has now unified the north, is not only in terms of the richness of the territory, but also
The reserve of talents is the best in the world.
Even if Liu Bei and Sun Quan were reconciled, they could only be able to confront Cao Cao.
In the end, Sima Yi put forward his idea of wanting to return to the north, and Sun Quan was happy and agreed to Sima Yi's request.
...
Outside the distant city of Gong'an, there is a force of more than 10,000 troops marching rapidly.
After seeing the Jiangdong army camp tent a few miles away, leading the more than 10,000 troops to advance, the mood of the main general Lu Xun finally relaxed.
Lu Xun is nearly forty years old, but because he is well maintained, the years have not left too deep traces on his body.
From his appearance, he looked like a young general under thirty years old.
Looks elegant, if he wasn't wearing armor now, when others saw him, they would think of him as a civil servant at first sight.
Since receiving Lu Meng's letter to him, Lu Xun led his army to set off towards Gong'an City on the second day after arranging the defense of Lukou.
In Lü Meng's letter to Lu Xun, he explained in detail the crisis facing the Jiangdong army today.
Lu Meng also vaguely revealed in the letter that although he asked Lu Xun to lead the army this time, it was nominally to let Lu Xun lead the troops to break off.
But in fact, it was intended to promote Lu Xun, and Lu Xun was asked to take charge of the tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops on his behalf.
Lu Xun, who knew Lu Meng's intentions, for the sake of Jiangdong and himself, he had no reason to delay the march at all.
In fact, after knowing the fiasco experienced by the Jiangdong army, Lu Xun was not as pessimistic as other Jiangdong generals.
In his opinion, he had a plan to revive the Jiangdong army and then take Jingzhou.
Lu Xun led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and soon arrived outside the camp of the Jiangdong army.
And after he arrived, Lu Xun was immediately stopped by the scouts outside the camp.
After being stopped, Lu Xun ordered the more than 10,000 troops behind him to stop and continue to advance.
He took out the transfer document from his bosom that Lü Meng ordered him to come here, and ordered the scout to return to the Jiangdong camp and forward it to Lü Meng.
Lu Xun didn't know that Sun Quan had arrived in the camp at this time.
After obtaining the transfer documents, the scout returned to the Jiangdong camp and reported the matter to Han Dang.
After receiving the news, Han Dang's face showed joy.
Help is coming!
