Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 190 Sima Yi and I have a [-]/[-] split
Cao Rui, the Lord of the Wei Dynasty, was shocked when he learned that Ma Su had captured Liangzhou in only ten days.

This posthumous title hardly attracted the attention of many people, because at this time, the attention of Wei Guo was attracted by another matter.

The border urgently reported that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, suddenly launched an attack on the Longyou area. The scale was the largest since Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. If the troops led by Ma Di were added, there would be a full 20 people.

The offensive and defensive battle of Longxi in Shu Wei officially kicked off.

The Northern Expedition took place in the winter of the eighth year of Jianxing (230), two years and nine months had passed since the Battle of Jieting.

After nearly three years of development and more than two months of preparation by Zhuge Liang, the Shu Han led an army of [-] troops out of Qishan, and sent envoys to Soochow, hoping that Sun Quan could attack Wei at the same time.

This is also Zhuge Liang's fifth Northern Expedition after Ma Di came to this era (the first three Northern Expeditions were combined into one).

Wei State attaches great importance to this war.Cao Rui went to Chang'an to supervise the battle in person, ordered Xiahou Ru and Xiahou Wei Guosi Cong Xiahouxuan and Deng Yang to guard against Chang'an's surroundings, and sent Xiahouba and Hao Zhao to lead [-] troops to Longyou to support Cao Shuang.

So far, the Wei army has invested more than 20 troops on the western front, which does not include the [-] troops stationed around Chang'an.

On the Liangzhou side, Sima Yi commanded 12 troops to confront Ma Di at the foot of Wuwei City; on the Longyou side, the generals commanded [-] troops to fight Zhuge Liang.

Among them, Cao Shuang led [-] soldiers and horses to guard Shangyu, You Chu led [-] soldiers and horses to guard Qishan Fort, Hao Zhao led [-] soldiers and horses to occupy Ji County, and Xia Houba led [-] soldiers and horses to occupy Longxi.

In mid-December, the Shu army arrived at Qishan Fort and set up camp on the flat ground.You Chu led the Wei army to build camps on the mountain, and built six large villages in a row, hoping to consume the food of the Shu army with a protracted war, so that the Shu army could retreat on its own.

You Chu thought that if the Shu army could not attack Qishan, they would divide their troops to take Shanggu and Ji counties, so he sent his own soldiers to inform Cao Shuang and Hao Zhao to remind the two generals to take precautions.

When Hao Zhao heard the news, he deeply agreed with this and ordered his soldiers to strengthen the defenses of Jixian County overnight; Cao Shuang didn't take it seriously, thinking that the weather was freezing and the Wei River was about to enter a freezing period, and the Shu army could not cross the river.

Coupled with the fact that all the powerful generals of the Wei Dynasty are out, and there are more than 20 soldiers on the western front, Zhuge Liang is nothing to worry about.

So no precautions were taken.

Sure enough, after the Shu army arrived at Qishan Fort, they immediately launched a tentative attack, but were repelled by You Chu.

Zhuge Liang considered that the previous Northern Expeditions were unsuccessful due to the failure of grain transportation or the situation in the rear, so he stationed a lot of grain in Xixian County, and built a camp under Qishan Fort, preparing for a protracted war. .

In Soochow, Sun Quan did not respond to Zhuge Liang after learning that the Shu Han had sent 20 troops to the Northern Expedition, but chose to wait and see after discussing with the officials.

The focus of the emperors and ministers of Eastern Wu was not that Wei's troops on the eastern front were empty, but that the Shu Han was able to send out 20 troops for the Northern Expedition!
If you count the soldiers and horses stationed in various places in central Sichuan, doesn't it mean that the Shu Han has at least 25 to 30 soldiers and horses? !
The fact that this speculation was true shocked Sun Quan.

In his old impression, after the defeat of Yiling, the national strength of the Shu Han was halved, and the number of prefectures and counties dropped by half from 23.

Why did it suddenly rise in just two or three years?
You know, Soochow has three big states, and it only has 20 soldiers and horses.

In other words, Shu Han, with nearly 30 soldiers and horses, has surpassed Wu in national power at this moment.

Wu Guo became the younger brother of the three countries.

How could Sun Quan tolerate this? !
So, he recalled Lu Xun, the top general who was stationed in Jiangling overnight, to discuss major issues.

The content of the discussion was only one multiple-choice question: Attack Wei?Attack Shu?Standing still and watching the tigers fight?

After Lu Xun learned of the number of soldiers and horses in the Shu Han, he was also taken aback. After thinking for a long time, he put X on the two options of "Attack Wei" and "Attack Shu", and put a √ next to "Hold the troops without moving".

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and laughed tacitly.

……

The news of Sun Quan's inaction spread to Liangzhou, which immediately aroused Ma Di's high vigilance.

In view of Sun Quan's dark history of attacking his ally Shu Han twice in a row, Ma Di hurriedly wrote to remind Zhuge Liang to guard Jiangzhou and Yong'an so as not to be attacked again by Sun Quan.

Zhuge Liang replied quickly, and there were only six words in the letter: "Don't worry, control Yi, and take Long."

Ma Di felt relieved, settled down in Wuwei City, continued to use the superior tower defense strategy, and fought with Sima Yi.

At this time, whoever is in a hurry will lose in momentum.

As a victorious general, Ma Su's stability made Sima Yi cry when he saw it.

Of course, the premise of being able to sit in the city without panic is to simulate the battle situation every day and erect fences.

How could Ma Di dare to wrestle with Sima Yi if he didn't have a simulator to tell the truth?
He had already fled on the sidelines.

Longyou battlefield.

Zhuge Liang left Wang Ping to unite 3 soldiers and horses to restrain You Chu, and sent Wei Yan to lead [-] soldiers and horses to garrison on the south bank of the Wei River to restrain Hao Zhao and Xia Houba from sending them out to help, and then sent Zhang Bao and Guan Xing to lead [-] soldiers to attack In Shangyu, Jiang Wei and Deng Zhi were ordered to deploy [-] soldiers and horses outside the city, while Zhuge Liang personally led [-] soldiers and horses to support them.

When Cao Shuang saw that Guan Xing and Zhang Bao dared to attack Shangyu with only [-] soldiers, Cao Shuang was furious and personally raised the army to fight.Unexpectedly, he fell into the trap and was led out of Baili by the second general.When he came back to his senses, Shangyu City had been captured by Jiang Wei and Deng Zhi.

Cao Shuang had no choice but to retreat to Ji County to join Hao Zhao.

At the right time, heavy snow fell from the sky, and the Weishui River froze, which blocked Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan's connection with the generals to the north of the Weishui River.Hao Zhao, together with Xia Houba and Cao Shuang, took the opportunity to send troops to encircle Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, defeating them both.

Jiang Wei and Deng Zhi went out to rescue the city, and the two sides fought a fierce battle. The Shu army was outnumbered and retreated to the north bank of the Weishui River.

The [-] Wei army surrounded the [-] Shu army on the north bank of the Wei River, and it seemed that the army would be wiped out.

On the one hand, Zhuge Liang sent engineers to build a bridge on the ice, and on the other hand, he lined up light crossbowmen to lay planks on the ice to cross the river, and shot arrows wildly at Wei Jun's troops to support Jiang Wei and other generals.

Hao Zhao and others saw that the bridge was about to be erected and more and more Shu soldiers were crossing the river on ice. Fearing that Zhuge Liang would lose the counties after crossing the river, they fought for a while and retreated quickly.

In this battle, the Shu army won first and then lost. More than [-] soldiers were killed, Zhang Bao was killed, and Guan Xing was seriously injured.

On the side of the Wei army, more than 6000 people were killed in battle, and Shangyu City was lost and recovered.The idiot Cao Shuang was immediately transferred from the Longyou battlefield, and Xia Houba replaced him to guard Shangyu City.

Since then, the armies of Wei and Shu have confronted each other, and more than a hundred days have passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period, Zhuge Liang sent people to challenge the Qishan Fortress many times, but You Chu, who was instructed by Sima Yi, could not hold on.

When the news reached Liangzhou, Ma Di helped the city and sighed.

Realizing that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition may be in vain again.

Qishan Fortress is located in the south of the Weishui River, the throat of the entire Longyou region in the middle,
If Xi County is the gateway to the northwest of Shu Han, then Qishan Fort is the gateway to the south of the five counties of Cao Wei and Longyou.If the Qishan fortress was in the hands of the Wei army, Zhuge Liang would risk being cut off no matter if he attacked any of the five counties in Longyou.

If the Qishan Fortress is in the hands of Shu Han, then the five counties of Longyou will be like women without clothes, and all the secrets will be exposed in front of Shu Han, a straight man of steel.

But unfortunately, Qishan Fortress is not in the hands of Shu Han.

Depending on the situation, Zhuge Liang will not be able to take this place for a while.

Then the outcome of the war can be predicted.

Although the Shu Han will not fail, it is impossible to win.

The four cobblers of Wei State really withstood Zhuge Liang's offensive.

To say that in the war of this era, there is no strategy of going around the city and attacking the enemy's rear.The combat method must be to fight down one stronghold one by one, so as to ensure that the rear food roads are unobstructed and free from threats, and then move forward steadily.

With Zhuge Liang's cautious style, as long as the Qishan Fortress cannot be attacked, he will not take a risky step forward.

Looking at the battle situation, Ma Di was suddenly very clear, wondering if he and Zhuge Liang switched places, would he be blocked by the Qishan Fortress.

After much deliberation, the final answer is, no!
He even came up with four or five good strategies in an instant to break through the Qishan Fortress.

But these strategies either rely on equipment advantages, or rely on system or talent advantages, and none of them are suitable for Zhuge Liang.

"Ugh!"

Ma Di sighed, looking at the Wei Army barracks ten miles east of the city, he suddenly felt that the top commanders of this era were like that.

When they encounter their own style of fighting, they will also be caught blind, and they will curse loudly, one head and two big.

Therefore, Ma Di felt that his actual commanding ability was very strong.

At least, you can have a [-]-[-] relationship with Sima Yi...
