Just as Sima Yi was laughing, Sun Li's distress letter came in, which immediately interrupted Sima Yi's interest.

For a while, all the generals were silent, and just now they were "all governors and high leaders", and now Ma Jian has crossed the river. By such a coincidence, Sima Yi was almost slapped in the face on the spot.

However, Sima Yi was not embarrassed at all, quickly stopped smiling, and asked with a calm face,

"Ma Tan has already crossed the river? How did Sun Li guard the river? ”

"Governor of the Empire! The Shu general Ma Tan took advantage of the night to lead a small number of Shu troops across the river and attacked the camp. Their combat effectiveness was too strong for us to resist, and in the end we ......"

"In that case...... It really can't be helped. Sima Yi shook his head and didn't say anything, just waved his hand and said,

"In this case, Zhuge Liang is obviously a bait, and the real main force is Ma Yan."

"The situation is at stake, and we must support it as soon as possible!"

After speaking, Sima Yi made an inspection and found that all the generals who had fought against Ma Jian had their heads bowed to death. After all, the generals who have met Ma Tan know that he is powerful, and they don't want to touch this bad head.

Sima Yi didn't say anything about this, but just glanced at his candidate and pointed out his candidate.

"Hu Zun! I order you to lead 20,000 troops to help Sun Li! Be sure to drive the Shu army out of Weinan! ”

"Yes!" Hu Zun nodded, stood up and took the order.

Seeing Hu Zun's high-spirited order, many generals looked at him in admiration and couldn't help but sigh,

"It's true that a born calf is not afraid of tigers......"

After dispatching Hu Zun to leave, Sima Yi suddenly said that since Ma Jian was the main force, Zhuge Liang on the opposite side would inevitably be empty. Later, he also ordered Sima Shi to be the general, and ordered 20,000 people to prepare to cross the river to the north to fight the Shu army.

But just when Sima Yi was about to make arrangements, suddenly the personal guard walked in and reported,

"Governor! The imperial envoy is here! ”

The person who came was the guard Xinbi sent by Cao Rui, and he came with the Son of Heaven Fu Festival.

"Your Majesty has a decree, the soldiers of Guanzhong are fighting with the Shu army, and they must be defensive! But those who say that they will fight first, first cut and then play! ”

After reading the will, Simbi then showed the Son of Heaven symbol, indicating that it was the will of the Son of Heaven. For a while, all the generals were happy, but Sima Yi was very unwilling, and a meeting ended hastily.

After the news spread, the pawns in Guanzhong were angry and helpless. However, at least the morale did not decline because of this, and the Guanzhong army still had full trust in Sima Yi, the governor of the capital, believing that he was a hawk who fought the main battle.

However, at this time, Sima Yi, a hawk trusted by the Guanzhong Army, was having a small meeting with Xin Bi in the back camp at the moment.

"Zhongda, has your situation here reached this point?" Xin Bi looked at Sima Yi and couldn't help frowning and asked.

Sima Yi's virtue, let alone Cao Rui, even Xin Bi knows it very well. When did King Sima Xuan, who has always been invasive on the battlefield, consult the central government?

This time, not only did he ask for a battle for thousands of miles, but he also spoke urgently, and Cao Rui quickly knew what it meant. Later, Xin Bi was sent to give Sima Yi this ban on war, and asked Sima Yi what the specific situation was.

Sima Yi was not ambiguous about this, and very simply explained all the current deployments. At the same time, he was very pessimistic and told Xin Bi that if he could not send more than 50,000 reinforcements before December, Chang'an would probably fall.

Xin Bi was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Sima Yi in disbelief.

"Zhongda, now is not the time to joke......"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Sima Yi asked rhetorically with a calm face,

"But you've promised your majesty ......"

"I did promise, but Nanyang is gone, Wuguandao has been sealed, and Luoyang has sent only 20,000 reinforcements so far."

Sima Yi's words made Xin Bi a little speechless.

Before Sima Yi took office, Cao Rui also said that once the Shu army made a northern expedition to Guanzhong, Guandong would inevitably do everything to support.

As a result, after two years, Nanyang is gone, Wuguan is blocked, and only 20,000 reinforcements have come so far.

This kind of support is a drop in the bucket for the Guanzhong battlefield, so how does Sima Yi care...... How to guard Chang'an?

"Aren't you already defending Weishui now, and the battle line is basically solid? Even if some of the Shu army stole it, it could be driven down......"

"It's December, it's cold." Sima Yi's face was calm and terrifying, and he replied expressionlessly.

As soon as these words came out, Simbi also fell silent.

The winter in Guanzhong is very cold, and it is even more cold in December. And this Weishui next to Chang'an will freeze at that time......

In other words, when the time comes, this river will no longer exist, and the Han army in Weibei can step on the ice!

In fact, Ma Tan's crossing of the river did not make him feel the crisis, as long as he was strictly guarded, Ma Tan would not be able to throw more forces into Weinan with Weishui blocking him.

But when Weishui froze and the Han army could walk through the ice, that was the real crisis.

Sima Yi didn't know if Zhuge Liang, who had never been to the customs, had this idea, but his incident in Tuntian, Weibei was already very illustrative.

He didn't plan to make a quick decision, he was here to fight a protracted battle with Sima Yi. Even if Sima Yi can stop the Han army in December, Zhuge Liang can wait until December next year to fight again......

However, Sima Yi estimated that if the imperial court could not rush to the aid of enough troops in time, he would not be able to survive this year.

When facing his generals, he needs to keep his mouth shut to keep the army in mind. However, when facing Xinbi, Sima Yi will quickly change his attitude and shirk responsibility with the most pessimistic attitude.

Xin Bi finally nodded and told Sima Yi that when he went back, he would let His Majesty send reinforcements to help Guanzhong as soon as possible. After all, Guanzhong was the last buffer zone to the west of Luoyang, and once this place fell, Cao Wei had to move the capital.

…………

When Sima Yi had already begun to make the most pessimistic plan, Ma Jian had already gathered thousands of troops around Xinfeng.

Because of Sun Li's lack of troops and his prestige, Sun Li chose to shrink his defense. In this way, Ma Jian led a thousand people to pass through the gaps vacated by the Wei army at night.

Around to Xinfeng, the vigilance of the Wei army was greatly reduced. Ma Jian quickly searched for a boat in a no-man's land here, built a bamboo raft, and crossed Weishui again.

In less than ten days, the Han army bypassed Chen Tai's "Maginot Line" and successfully inserted diagonally into Beidi County.

Chen Tai's painstakingly laid out the defense line for two or three months, and it became a joke.

However, at this time, Chen Tai didn't know that in his dream, the man and horse had already reached the back of his ass. At this moment, he was relieved to see the Shu army crossing Weishui south to fight Sun Li.

It seems that Ma Jian has let himself go.

Chen Tai, who was relaxed, couldn't help but brag to his subordinates about how awesome his defense was.

"Look, my genius armament, even Ma Jian has to bow his head for this. Looking at the actions of the Shu army, it can be seen that I am more difficult to fight here than Weinan. ”

"What? Is it possible for Ma Tan to strike again? Unless he can fly, don't even think about crossing my line of defenses! ”
