Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 138 This Shocking Gambling Game (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
Luoyang, the capital of the Wei Dynasty, the imperial palace.

Cao Rui walked back and forth in the North Palace, anxious.

Leaving aside whether it is true or not, Wei Guo has currently received three pieces of information.

One is that [-] Shu troops are in Ziwu Valley, trying to sneak attack Chang'an in Guanzhong.

Of course, Wei Jun, who is currently ambushing in Ziwu Valley, didn't even see a hair.

The second is that a thousand Shu soldiers appeared under Chencang City in an attempt to attack the city. As for whether there will be follow-up troops in the Chencang Road behind, it is temporarily unknown.

Thirdly, on Longyou side, Zhao Yun, who was stationed in Xixian County, led [-] troops and was approaching Shangyu City in Tianshui County. He only marched for more than ten miles a day, and he was so slow that he didn't know what the hell he was doing.

Combining this information, Wei Emperor Cao Rui, who was in Luoyang, took a deep breath and hurriedly summoned all the officials to discuss countermeasures.

Right now, the southern front just happened to be at a critical moment, and the Wei army was in the upper hand, and the Wu army did not dare to show their heads in the three-way battle. Seeing that if they work harder, they might be able to fight across the Yangtze River and enter Wu.It would be a pity to withdraw troops at this time.

If you don't withdraw your troops, what will happen to the Shu Kingdom that is attacking from three directions?
Cao Rui was in a dilemma, looked around at all the ministers, and said worriedly: "My dear friends, what should I do if the Shu Kingdom is attacking from three directions?"

Sikong Chen Qun cupped his hands and came out, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, in the opinion of the old minister, the three routes of the Shu army are nothing to worry about."

Cao Rui was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Oh, why don't you worry about it? Ai Qing said it quickly to clear up my doubts."

Chen Qun said calmly: "Your Majesty, Wu and Shu are at odds with each other, and they are in an alliance for thousands of miles, so it is difficult to link up. The Shu army who is invading the border does not know the situation of the Wu army in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Wu army in the south of the Yangtze River does not know the situation of the battle of the Shu army in the north. It's not difficult."

"Besides, since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a surprise attacking party to disclose its troop strength and marching route to the public in advance. Therefore, the veteran thinks that the [-] Shu army in the Ziwu Valley does not exist. This must be a perfunctory statement by the State of Wu."

"In addition, the thousands of Shu soldiers under Chencang City are nothing to worry about. The guard Hao Zhaozhi is good at defending the soldiers, and he will definitely be able to protect our city."

"As for the five thousand divisions of Zhao Yun's division in Longyou, judging from the speed at which they only marched for more than ten miles a day, this road is just a feint attack, and they will retreat soon!"

"In summary, in order to break the siege of Wu, the Shu army called it a three-way attack, but actually only dispatched 1000 troops, and its perfunctory attitude is obvious."

"Therefore, the old minister thinks that our great Wei should seize this golden opportunity and step up our offensive to destroy Wu in one fell swoop. If Wu can be destroyed, Shu will be weak at that time, how can we prevent our great Wei from dominating the world?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Cao Rui clapped his palms and laughed, stood up proudly, and praised: "Listening to what you said really opened my eyes."

"That is to say, the three generals Zhang He, Hao Zhao, and Cao Shuang are ordered to strike with thunder if they see the Shu army coming to attack; if the Shu army does not come to attack, I will guard the three places and wait for them to retreat in vain."

"Order Sima Yi, Wang Ling, and Man Chong to train sailors and prepare to cross the river to destroy Wu!"

Hearing this, all the officials praised: "Your Majesty is wise."

……

At the head of Chencang City, the fifth day of the stalemate between the Wei and Shu armies.

Seeing that the Shu army was dawdling under the city, but they would not come to attack the city, Wang Shuang cupped his hands and begged: "General, the last general requests to go to battle, so as to wipe out this invading enemy!"

"No hurry." Hao Zhao shook his head: "Let's see again."

under the city.

Ma Su hid in the crowd wearing a soldier's attire, and quietly looked at Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang and all the Wei generals while building an awning.

While observing the enemy's situation, the four special talents of "Invincible", "Striking Meteor", "Iron Man Bloodline", and "Strike Night Warrior" are always waiting to be activated.And secretly made up his mind that if there was any trouble, he would immediately lead the soldiers away.

To be honest, Ma Di never thought of saving the siege for Wu, nor did he want to.

The dispatch of troops to Chen Cang this time was just to deal with Wu Guo on the surface.

Besides, he was the one who provoked the Wei-Wu war, so how could he try to tear himself down?

It was precisely in consideration that the state of Wei did not have the ability to destroy Wu for the time being, and the Wu-Shu alliance would have to work together for a long time in the future, so Ma Su brought 1000 people to show off.

To fight against Wei?
He had no such thoughts at all.

However, although he only brought a thousand soldiers, Ma Di was very confident and made the soldiers wander back and forth under the city of Chencang as if there were millions of troops behind them.

This arrogant attitude made Hao Zhao even more uncertain, and he was very nervous. Even though there were 2000 troops in Chencang City, after several hesitations, he finally decided not to attack rashly.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.Hao Zhao knew exactly who Ma Di was and what abilities he had.

Ma Su is the kind who seems to be completely ignorant of military affairs on the surface, and there are flaws everywhere in the formation of troops, but if you really do it, you will suffer a hundred percent.

Don't you see that during the two battles at Jieting and Ting, Ma Di was in a desperate situation, but the desperate situation continued, and the Wei army was defeated one after another.

Don't you see that in the previous raid on Chencang, Ma Di led 5000 men and marched more than 700 miles in five days, and broke Chencang in less than half a day, blocking the governor Cao Zhen in Chencang Road, unable to advance or retreat.

Don't you see the ambush in Lueyang, Ma Di was like God's help, and the [-] Wei army in ambush was instantly wiped out.

Don't you see that in the battle of Weixian, Xiabian, and Jianwei, Ma Di suddenly appeared like an old dog, suddenly appeared and disappeared, and made brilliant tricks.

After in-depth study of Ma Di's record, Hao Zhao suddenly realized.

On the battlefield, the ultimate hunters often appear as prey.

You can see that it is full of flaws, but when you actually fight, those flaws are just illusions.

Those flaws will kill you!
For example, now, more than a thousand soldiers in the city are tired from walking around, lying on the ground carelessly, enjoying the warm spring day... Does it look like the word "death" is written on their foreheads?

Any general with a little knowledge of military affairs would think so.

But Hao Zhao doesn't think so.

In his eyes, these Shu soldiers rolling on the grass in the city are all acting.

Although his acting skills are very high, he can't hide from his piercing eyes.

Want to be out of town?

Ha ha!

However, despite this, the generals still needed to reassure Hao Zhaowei. He glanced at the generals imperceptibly, deliberately lingering on the face of Wang Shuang, who was full of anxiety, and secretly made up his mind.

If you really can't suppress the desire of the generals to fight, I will send him to fight to verify the guess in my heart!

Under the city, Ma Su simply ordered people to build a tent, hid in it and fell asleep.

Wei Jun didn't come to fight, which was exactly what he wanted.

Anyway, I have already sent troops here, and I have an explanation to Wu Guo.

Even if Wu Guo questioned the "[-] Shu Army" in Ziwu Valley, he could say that the [-]-mile valley road was difficult to travel. He built bridges and paved roads while guarding against Wei Guo's ambush, so he could only travel a dozen miles a day.

In short, if everything goes well, they will definitely be able to rush to the ground in about two months and sneak attack Chang'an!
Hey hey hey.

The excuse was perfect.

Even if two months later, the State of Wu questioned the "[-] Shu army" again, it could have another argument: "There is a Wei army in ambush in the Ziwu Valley, so we can't get through."

In short, Wu Guo will definitely not be able to verify the authenticity of the "Fifty Thousand Shu Army".

If the Kingdom of Shu says it has it, then it will.

So, now is the time to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

wah ha ha ha ha ha...  

Ma Di laughed excitedly when he thought that Wei and Wu had fought for more than four months and were still fighting.

Well played, well played!
The national power of the two countries has plummeted!

If it weren't for the lack of stable points at the moment, Ma Di would even immediately spend [-] points to check the attributes of Cao Rui and Sun Quan.

Look at how much their people and armies have fallen.

In fact, before coming to this era, Ma Su also didn't understand why Wei Guo was so determined to attack Wu, and often attacked Wu on a large scale if he disagreed with him, but he was always very cautious in defeating Shu.

During Cao Pi's seven years in power, he organized three expeditions against Wu, and Cao Rui also organized several expeditions against Wu, each time with great vigor.The Battle of Jiangling and the Battle of Dongxing were thrilling.

When Wei Guo defeated Wu, he fought when he said he wanted to fight, he fought when he fought, and he lost when he lost. He has always been very straightforward.

But when it came to conquering Shu, the state of Wei had a lot of trouble.

For the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao dillydally prepared for more than half a year before sending out troops. As a result, he couldn't stand it after two months of fighting and withdrew.

Before Cao Zhen attacked Shu, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, and Cao Zhen, the three Gu Ming ministers, chattered for a long time before sending troops, and finally decided to send troops on three routes.But as soon as the troops were dispatched, they encountered continuous heavy rain and were trapped in the mountain road for a month without even touching the hair of the Shu Kingdom, so they retreated hastily.

After retiring, Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan became the jokes in the court of Wei State and were ridiculed by the people of the time.Cao Zhen also fell ill and died of depression.

Even 30 years later, when Sima Zhao decided to conquer Shu, the whole court was full of opposition, even Deng Ai, the general who conquered the west, expressed his opposition, and Zhong Hui was the only one in the whole country who expressed his support!
Therefore, Wei State has always been reluctant to fight Shu State.You can't get any benefits, and it's easy to make yourself a problem.

Fighting Wu has always been Wei's priority.

The reason for this was only gradually understood by Ma Di after he came to this era.

From the perspective of future generations, it can be seen at a glance that in order to take Jiangnan, Shu must first be pacified.As long as Shu is destroyed first, occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and then going down the river, the state of Wu can be destroyed in an instant.

But standing in this era, including Wei Guojun and ministers, no one in the world has such historical experience to learn from!

The Wu State is the first force in history to stand against the North for a long time based on the Yangtze River!

The only thing Wei can learn from is the case of Liu Xiuping, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Gongsunshu in Shuzhong.

At that time, Liu Xiuzheng first pacified Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places, and then attacked Xichuan from Longyou and Jingzhou. Finally, due to various reasons, the Jingzhou army became the main attack, and went up the river to destroy Gongsun Shu. .

Therefore, what Wei Guo has been discussing is to defeat Wu.

Only Fa Wu!

Following Liu Xiu's story, first pacify the south of the Yangtze River, and then attack the middle of Shu from Longyou, and pacify the world in one battle.

Coincidentally, the national policy of the Shu Han regime led by Zhuge Liang is also imitating a person, Han Gaozu Liu Bang!

Liu Bang is the only emperor who came out of Shu to pacify the world.

And Liu Bang's strategy is to occupy Shu first, then Guanzhong, and then go east to dominate the world.

Therefore, in Zhuge Liang's eyes, although Jingzhou is important, it is not impossible to abandon it (Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, unified the world on the premise that there was Shu but no Jingzhou), so this is why the Shuhan was attacked twice by Soochow (A surprise attack on the three eastern counties of Jingzhou in 215, after negotiations, with the Xiangshui River as the boundary; a surprise attack on the three western counties of Jingzhou in 219, beheading Guan Yu), one of the reasons why he was still able to form an alliance with Soochow.

Jingzhou, for the Shu Han, is actually not that important.

Having said that, after the State of Wei determined the national policy of imitating Liu Xiu and attacking Wu with all its strength, it set up large-scale farming in Nanyang and Huainan, solved the problem of military supplies on the spot, and trained soldiers on the spot to prepare for attacking Wu.

Deng Ai once made a "Jihe Theory" for this, hoping to strengthen the food supply of the Huainan area to the front line of Hefei through garrisoning the fields, so as to prepare for the attack on Wu.

The core area of ​​Wei State is in the area of ​​Luoyang and Ye. Starting from these two areas, Wu is close and the road is smooth, and Shu is far and dangerous.

With such a basic game, it is clear at a glance whether to defeat Wu or Shu.

Furthermore, Wei Guo's attack on Shu not only required thousands of miles to feed food and mobilize the masses, but also faced the danger of facing Qinchuan for eight hundred miles and the difficulty of traveling thousands of miles to Shu.

Just thinking about these insurmountable natural conditions makes one's scalp tingle.

However, it is very convenient for the state of Wei to attack Wu and distribute food nearby. Even if it cannot be defeated, it is not a big deal.

Just hit it next time.

Therefore, Wei State's national policy has always been to give priority to cutting Wu, and originally did not intend to attack Shu first.until···

There is no need to be too defensive about Soochow.

Until, Jiang Wei made a life and death bet.

Wei State did not dare to launch a large-scale war to destroy Shu, and Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei dared to make several Northern Expeditions. To a large extent, it was closely related to Wu State and the Kobineng Tribe in Monan, which restrained most of Wei State's energy. .

The border between Wei and Wu is long, and because there are enemies all around, Wei has always maintained a military force of about 20 in Jingzhou and Huainan battlefields. In Yanmen, Taiyuan, Daijun, and Yecheng, a considerable number of troops have also been deployed ( Not less than [-]), used to guard against Kobineng and Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong.

In addition, Wei Guo also needs to maintain more than 10 Chinese troops in Luoyang as a preparation.Therefore, in theory, the troops of Wei State that can be used to fight against Shu are only 20 people (including the [-] Chinese army in Luoyang, it is [-]). Chang'an sits in town), which has no absolute advantage compared with Shu, which has tens of thousands of troops.

But over time, the situation changed.

After Ke Bineng and Gongsun Yuan were destroyed one after another, the [-] soldiers and horses deployed by Wei State in the northern border were freed and pressed to the western front.

After the three rebellions in Huainan failed, Wei Guo understood: there is no need to worry about Wu Guo anymore!

During the third rebellion in Huainan, Wu's army took the opportunity to arrive in the Shouchun area and cooperated with the rebels to fight against the Sima family.

But under such favorable conditions, Wu Guo still couldn't control the situation, and soon fled in defeat.

This war told Wei Guo (Sima's family): Never worry about Wu Guo again, even if Wu Jun entered Shouchun, so what?

Can it stop the big Wei cavalry from charging?
Can't stop it at all!
So, why deploy so many soldiers and horses on the Eastern Front?

If some of these soldiers (about 30) are all deployed on the western front, can the weak state of Shu stop it when [-] soldiers and horses are deployed on the western front?
Wei Guo's national policy changed quietly.

If there is an opportunity for Shu to take advantage of it, then it is a choice without hesitation to mobilize forces to attack Shu.

Coincidentally, Jiang Wei, the general of the Kingdom of Shu, just started the game at this time, waiting for the Kingdom of Wei to participate.
