With Cao Shuang such a second goods, Sima Yi is really powerless.

You have to say that he disobeyed orders on the battlefield, he really sent troops, and even discovered the traces of the Shu thief cavalry in advance, safely withdrew to the camp, and preserved his strength.

But you have to say how meritorious he is. You are shrinking in the camp and don't come out, so what is the need for this response to exist?!

Sima Yi is really helpless now, he is even thinking about whether to let Cao Shuang withdraw directly to Yongqiu.

After all, a response that can't play a role doesn't make any sense at all, and if he will disperse the soldiers and horses defending the city at least take it back, he can still find a way to send reinforcements to Chen Tai's side.

But no matter how Sima Yi adjusts, the current battle situation in Yongqiu has not yet reached a dangerous moment, and Sima Yi can still rely on stubborn defense to hold back Xu Shu's attack.

Now Sima Yi no longer has the idea of breaking the enemy army, and his current strategic thinking is very simple, that is, he can't shrink back.

Delay the time, until the supply of grain and grass for the Shu thieves is not available, and the troops will automatically retreat.

This is the only way Sima Yi can think of to retreat from the enemy at present.

It's just that when this method of retreating from the enemy will be considered successful, Sima Yi himself doesn't know.

In history, Sima Yi was able to survive Zhuge Wuhou, not only because Cao Wei's comprehensive national strength was stronger, but also because of the Qinling Mountains, which caused Ji Han to never solve the problem of grain and grass transportation.

Zhuge Wuhou can't consume Sima Yi.

But in this time and space, Cao Wei has been losing the city and losing his land, and now only half of Yanzhou and Hebei are left, and the problem of grain and grass transportation that plagued Ji Han is no longer a problem.

Sima Yi still chose this way to retreat from the enemy, because he was forced to be helpless, after all, the frontal toughness really can't be defeated.

Because of this, Sima Yi didn't know how long he had to stay up to force the Shu thieves to retreat.

Sima Yi's only hope now is that the Shu thieves have to expand and take care of the people's livelihood in recent years, and the accumulated grain and grass are not enough to start a protracted war.

This is not impossible, after all, in the previous Northern Expedition or Eastern Expedition launched by Shu thieves, except for the battle of Liu Bei personally leading the army to attack Guanzhong, none of them lasted more than a year.

It can be seen that although the Shu thieves have expanded rapidly in recent years, the internal relationship has not been smooth, and the background is not enough.

In Yanzhou and Hebei, the Great Wei has been recuperating for almost 30 years, at least in terms of grain and grass accumulation, it must have an advantage.

Sima Yi was using the background of the Great Wei to fight against the Shu thieves for a while.

It's just that if you want to continue to fight off like this, there is one thing, and it must be guaranteed - there can be no loss in the back road.

The safety of the back road is not only related to whether Hebei's grain and grass can be transported to Yanzhou, but also the inner confidence of the Yanzhou Wei army to continue to hold on.

No one wants to fight without a way out, and once the back road is lost, even if they don't starve to death, the soldiers will eventually become scattered because of their meaningless persistence.

Therefore, in addition to the frontal army of Shu thieves, Sima Yi also had to pay extra attention to the battle from Sujube to the front line of Yanjin.

Before, Sima Yi had been worrying about this problem, but recently, Sima Yi felt that he could feel a little more at ease.

Not only is there a famous general like Guo Huai guarding there, but the reinforcements from the Yanjin ferry have also arrived, and with the addition of 10,000 soldiers from Dingtao to support Suojube, as long as there is no accident, the defense of this front will be completely stabilized.

Not only Sima Yi thinks so, but Guo Huai actually thinks so too.

When Guo Huai received the military report from Jiang Ji and learned that Yanjin was temporarily unable to come to the aid of sour dates, he was actually not particularly anxious.

After the military report passed by Sima Yi, Guo Huai learned that he now had two reinforcements. One way is the direction of Yanjin, and the other is the direction of Dingtao.

These two reinforcements, as long as they reach all the way, then Guo Huai's guard of the sour dates will be considered nine out of ten.

Therefore, it is not a big problem for Yanjin's reinforcements to come, as long as the reinforcements from Dingtao can arrive in time.

Moreover, the reinforcements from Yanjin, whether it is Jiang Wei who is blocking Yanjin or Wei Yan who is outside the city of Suzao, will inevitably be on guard The reinforcements coming over there will break through the interception line of the two Shu thieves, even if they can barely rush into Sujuo, it is estimated that the losses will not be less.

However, the reinforcements from Dingtao's side, as long as they take this relatively safe passage in the northern part of Chenliu County, can enter the sour jujube without damage, and it will not attract Wei Yan's attention.

Therefore, Guo Huai is not in a hurry now. Even if Jiang Ji told Guo Huai that the Shu thieves might still play such a trick as encircling the point and sending reinforcements, he didn't care.

Encirclement and reinforcement, you have to encircle the point first, and you must beat the enemy in a hurry before you have a chance to help.

The target of the Shu thieves was Yanjin before, but Guo Huai was really anxious at that time, and he almost sent troops to Yanjin to rescue.

But fortunately, God blessed, Cao Yu arrived in time with his army and thwarted the Shu thieves' plan to encircle and send reinforcements.

And now the Shu thieves want to turn around the sour jujube and fight the reinforcements of Yanjin. Hehe, it's really not Guo Huai's boasting, the sour dates he guards are not so easy to be beaten.

Now Wei Yan only has more than 12,000 soldiers, and he has 9,000 soldiers, and the strength of the two sides is equal. Even if, as Jiang Ji predicted, Jiang Wei divided 10,000 troops to sour jujubes, and he Wei Yan had 22,000 soldiers, would he definitely be able to defeat sour jujubes?!

Even if the sour jujube is not a big city, even if the foot soldiers of the Shu thieves are strong, even if the soldiers under their command continue to fight, their morale is not high. But Lao Tzu has reinforcements!!

As soon as Dingtao's reinforcements arrived, Lao Tzu had 19,000 people in his hands to guard the sour dates, and even if Wei Yan had great ability, it was impossible to rely on 22,000 people to capture a city guarded by 19,000 people.

Well. All in all, that's it, anyway, Guo Huai is not in a hurry at all now.

Let's just wait, the more we wait, the more favorable time will be for Dawei.

And then bar. Guo Huai received a military report, and he was in a hurry!!

There's no way not to hurry, the military report was sent by a military envoy sent by Jia Chong.

Of course, if Jia Chong just sent an envoy to report his whereabouts and let Guo Huai be ready to respond, Guo Huai would not be in a hurry at all.

Jia Chong's military report, in addition to reporting his own position, the main purpose was to put forward an operational proposal for Guo Huai.

Jia Chong led the troops all the way to aid the sour jujube, and when he went north through Fengqiu, he learned through the reconnaissance that the Shu thief of the sour jujube is now camping on the north side of the sour jujube.

As a result, the young Jia Chong thought of a good battle plan.

Jia Chong did not think about going north directly, from Fengqiu to Wuchao, but after leaving Fengqiu, he made a detour to the east, bypassing Wuchao, a place that is famous in history, and planned to march to Sujube from the east.

The purpose, of course, was not to find difficulty for his own reinforcements, Jia Chong just wanted to attack Wei Yan's flank from the east.

Jia Chong has already thought about it.

According to the report of the reconnaissance cavalry and the military report in the army, the size of Wei Yan's army besieging Suozao is about 12,000 people, and the reinforcements in his hand, plus Guo Huai's defenders in Suozao, add up to 19,000 people.

The strength of the army is clearly superior.

Moreover, Jia Chong deliberately led his troops to make a detour, and if he approached the sour jujube from the east, Wei Yan would definitely not take precautions.

After all, Wei Yan set off from Puyang from this direction, and the soldiers were on the verge of sour dates, this was Wei Yan's back road, and Wei Yan would never have thought that there would be enemy troops coming over on his back road.

With such an advantage in troops, and being able to take it by surprise, under the attack from both sides, can't it be possible to break the enemy in one battle?!

This is the battle plan that Jia Chong ordered to pass on to Guo Huai, and almost gave Guo Huai an instant death.

How did Jia Liangdao teach his children, how could he be so self-righteous and self-assertive?!

Let you lead the troops to help, and you will honestly bring the troops over to come up with any ideas?!

Yes, Wei Yan only has about 12,000 people in his hands, but you kid can guess why the old man has 9,000 defenders in his hands, but he is still pressed by Wei Yan in the city and refuses to fight?!

Is Lao Tzu afraid of that Wei Wenchang?!

Also detour attack. As for the immoral things of the Shu thieves, the methods you play are all leftovers from others.

Back then, when I was in Youfufeng, the old man thought so, and as a result, Jiang Wan really killed me from the back road. What Jiang Wan can think of, he Wei Yan will be defenseless?!

Jia Chong, an unlucky child, where is this to send reinforcements to himself, this is to send him Wei Yan to send war exploits.

What's worse is that judging from the date Jia Chong's military report was issued, this unlucky kid is now estimated to have moved to the east side of the sour jujube and is ready to launch a flank attack on Wei Yan's department.

If you really want to fight, will you send troops or not?!

Don't send troops, it's hard to say what will happen to this unlucky child, but the reinforcements of his dreams are definitely gone.

Let's send troops. The danger is very great, and if one is not good, it may be broken by Wei Yan one by one.

Guo Huai didn't doubt the combat effectiveness of the Shu thieves outside the city at all, and similarly, he wouldn't question whether Wei Yan had such a plan to adapt to the situation.

So. This unlucky child, where is he here to rescue himself, he is simply here to block the old man!!
