Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 178 Killing Chickens and Monkeys (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

With only [-] soldiers under his command, how to take down the three counties of Liangdong, which are guarded by [-] soldiers?
This goal is a bit too daunting.

If Ma Di still had [-] cavalry at his disposal, the situation would have been much better if he was not practicing the map in a dungeon at this moment, but in reality.

But in reality, Sima Yi, who is stationed in Tianshui County, also needs to be considered. He has [-] to [-] soldiers and horses who can support Liangzhou at any time.

From this point of view, the dungeon experience is quite fair.

——Ma Di couldn't use his original troops and horses, so he could only bring in three fierce generals to develop his troops on the spot; the guards of the three cities of Liangzhou couldn't get any help from Sima Yi, so they could only rely on the existing 9000 troops and horses to go with them. deal with.

How can we capture the three counties of Liangdong and clear the dungeon map?

Ma Su fell into deep thought.

To say that in this era, there are many ways to capture one or even several cities, but there are three types that are often used: hard attack, persuasion, and outsmart.

Ma Di first ruled out hard attack.

First, there are not enough troops.

Secondly, the walls of the three cities of Jinxiwu are more than two feet high, even three feet high. In order to prevent the city gates from being easily breached, there are urn walls behind the city gates, that is, two "concave" shaped city walls and city gates.

Even with a ten-fold advantage in troops, Ma Di would not consider the option of forcibly attacking the city, not to mention that the troops are still at a disadvantage.

Persuading surrender, maybe you can try, but it can only be tried...

Xu Miao, Guo Huai, and Fei Yao are all important border guards of the Wei State, and their families are all in Luoyang as hostages. It is impossible for them to oppose Wei.Once they rebel against Wei, their families will inevitably be killed.

Therefore, it can only be outsmarted.

Ma Di racked his brains to search for strategies suitable for the current situation from the thousands of years of military cases he knew, and deliberated the feasibility of each strategy one by one.

……

Jincheng, market entrance.

Kneeling in front of the road was a young man who was tied up and looked dumb. Behind the young man stood a majestic executioner with a broad-bladed ghost knife on his shoulder. The shining blade reflected dazzling light in the sun.

Guo Huai lightly raised his arm as a signal.

The executioner yelled loudly, the gnarled muscles on his arms trembled violently, and the ghost head knife drew an arc from top to bottom, the sharp blade cut off the neck bone, and the entire head was cut off from the boy's body.

The head rolled a few times on the ground, instantly stained with mud, and stopped on the ground not far away.His eyes, which had lost their spirit, were still wide open, facing Guo Huai's direction.

Guo Huai stared at the head for a moment, then sighed slightly: "I am also obeying orders. When you get to the underworld, don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame your father for joining the enemy. If you want to blame, blame this country for not being able to tolerate you..."

The officer in charge of recording the execution said, "General, Dai Jun, the son of the rebel Dai Ling, has been put to death!"

"The bodies were put together and buried."

Guo Huai gave an order and looked up at the sky.Today the sky is overcast and cloudy, and the air is cold and windy.

It was late autumn and early winter, and the land of Hexi became increasingly desolate and lonely.

It made people feel inexplicably sad.

'The world is impermanent. ' Guo Huai secretly sighed.

Since Cao Zhen, the governor of Yongliang, was defeated in Guanzhong, the situation in the world suddenly became turbulent, and the situation of Wei State became more and more difficult.

First, Zhang Yun lost consecutive battles, then the Shu Han captured the two counties of Yinping and Wudu, and then Ma Di went west to the Qiang land, recovering several large tribes one after another.

The momentum of the Shu Han rose sharply, and the soldiers were so sharp that no one could stop them for a while.

If it weren't for the fact that the Shu Han's foundation was too weak, and the road to Shu was difficult to navigate, and the transportation of grain was difficult, it would be absolutely impossible for the State of Wei to still lose an inch of land.

All people of insight are keenly aware that this Shu Han is different from before.

While the Shu Han possessed Zhuge Liang's great talent in governing the country, there also emerged such a skilled general as Ma Di, and his troops were rarely invincible.

This information should have attracted the attention of Emperor Wei.

The guards of the cities on the front line of Longliang are also guessing whether the emperor Cao Rui will quickly adjust his strategy and regard Shu as the number one enemy.However, Cao Rui decided to take the lead in crusade against Sun Quan, the king of Wei Wu who proclaimed himself emperor, and started a war with Dongwu Sanlu.

As a result, the three fronts fought fiercely for nearly half a year, and in the end they only captured a few small Jiangbei cities.

However, the Shu Han took advantage of this opportunity to unify the Western Qiang, and the national power swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This situation is quite bad, but even worse is yet to come.More than a month ago, Zhang He led his army to pursue Ma Di, the Shu general who had violated the border. As a result, he was ambushed and his entire army was wiped out, even Zhang He himself was killed.

At this moment, the entire court of Wei State began to panic.Whether it is the emperor Cao Rui or the civil and military officials, they all began to re-examine the strength of Shu Han, the weakest country in the Three Kingdoms.

The final conclusion is: Although Shu has only one state, its national power is no less than Soochow, and even surpasses it!

The conclusion is unbelievable.

But I have to believe it.

Cao Rui responded quickly, immediately increased the troops on the western front, and sent tens of thousands of troops led by Sima Yi to Longyou to protect Liangzhou. At the same time, he deployed defenses on all roads from Guanzhong to Hanzhong.

After the arrangement was arranged like a remedy after a dead sheep, all the monarchs and ministers of the Great Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

But this does not mean that the western front is safe. The situation in Liangzhou is still very serious.

The boy who was beheaded by Guo Huai just now was Dai Ling's eldest son, Dai Jun. He joined the army with his father to Liangzhou, and was left in the city because he did not participate in the previous pursuit of the Shu army.

When the news of Dai Ling's rebellion against Wei and Shu reached Luoyang, Cao Rui was furious, and ordered to execute Dai Ling's family members who had stayed in Luoyang, as a warning to everyone else.

Unexpectedly, Dai Ling's family in Luoyang had already been taken away first, leaving only the eldest son Dai Jun trapped in Jincheng.

The holy order was then passed to Liangzhou, ordering Guo Huai to kill Dai Jun immediately.

Although Guo Huai couldn't bear it, he could only follow orders.

Dai Ling is a native of Jizhou. He has been in the army for nearly [-] years. He is appreciated by Zhang Yun for his calm temperament and good understanding of military strategy.Before he voted to Shu, he was already a guardian of Shu.

In private, Dai Ling is low-key and kind, and has a good relationship with all the generals in the army.

Guo Huai's personal relationship with Dai Ling is not bad, or lukewarm. In fact, all the generals in Wei State have such personal relationship with Dai Ling, without any kindness or resentment.

But now, he beheaded his eldest son.

Thinking of this, a trace of guilt and helplessness appeared on Guo Huai's lips.Although it was Dai Ling's eldest son who was killed today, it wasn't Cao Rui who was trying to warn those Liangzhou guards who were distracted by the strength of the Shu Han. This Liangzhou guard also included him, Guo Huai.

This must be one of the reasons why Cao Rui deliberately ordered him to personally execute Dai Jun, that is, to convey to the guards in Liangzhou a zero-tolerance attitude towards those who rebelled against Wei and defected to Shu.

At the market entrance, Dai Jun's headless body has been dragged down for burial by soldiers who care about him.A small number of people still gathered around, looking at the ground covered with blood and a large dark red, silent as if chilling.

Guo Huai turned around and went back to the mansion. After walking a few steps, someone behind him suddenly shouted loudly: "Master Guo, please stay."

Guo Huai looked back at the sound and found that it was actually Ma Su.

I was shocked immediately.

Why is he here?

Ma Di has the standard appearance of a southern scholar, not tall, with fair complexion, and delicate appearance. Like Zhuge Liang, he is quite elegant and noble.It makes a good first impression.

But in fact these are all illusions.

Guo Huai knew Ma Di's details well, he was capable of writing and martial arts, and he was not as gentle and weak as he appeared on the outside.

"Master Guo, can I take a step to speak?" Ma Su took a step forward and approached Guo Huai with aggressive eyes.

There are only three steps between the two.

Guo Huai glanced at the two guards beside him, then at the two big men with disheveled hair behind Ma Su, weighed the fighting strength of both sides, and quickly chose Congxin.

"Please tell the mansion."

Guo Huai recognized at a glance that one of them was General Zhao Yun of Shu Han.Although the other person didn't recognize it, it shouldn't be a bad thing after all.

When a group of people came to the mansion of Jincheng prefect and guardian Qiang Xiaowei, Guo Huaiping retreated to the left and right, and looked at Ma Di.

"Your Majesty is here to kill me, isn't it?"

Ma Di smiled and shook his head: "No."

"That is to persuade this official to surrender." Guo Huai looked very determined.

Ma Di shook his head again: "No."

What is that for?
Guo Huai frowned, and looked at Ma Su suspiciously.

Apart from persuading surrender and assassination, he didn't think Ma Di could have anything else to do when he came to him.
