Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 846 Panic
Huai County, Wei Jun Dazhai.

In the camp, the soldiers of the Wei Army followed the tasks assigned by their superiors, or repaired the fortifications in 'jingling', or shouted chant to strengthen the camp.Although it was under the cold wind, the soldiers' heads were still sweating.

Dressed in strong uniforms, Sima Yi patrolled the camps, talking with the soldiers in a gentle manner from time to time, pointing out places that needed attention.However, when the soldiers saw fifty armored followers behind him, they were all trembling and terrified.

There is no way, since Wang Ping was assassinated and killed by Dong Lixiong, not only the generals of the Han army have stepped up their guard, but Sima Yi, who started all this, is also worried that the big man will take the opportunity to retaliate, and carry soldiers with him at any time to protect himself.

"Teacher!"

"Teacher!"

When Sima Yi heard someone calling his name, he didn't move his body, and turned his long neck to look over, his eyes were sharp and piercing.If you see this appearance for the first time, you will be intimidated.

"What's the matter with Bo Yu?" Sima Yi asked.

Wang Ji had already realized the strangeness, and sent the information he had in hand to Sima Yi, saying, "To the Grand Tutor, General Anxi has sent an urgent military message from Shangdang, saying that the situation in Bingzhou has changed drastically."

General Anxi was Sima Zhao, who had been stationed in Hanoi with Wang Ji before, but the Han army conquered Xingyang and succeeded in crossing the Yellow River north.In order to ensure that Shangdang would not fall into the hands of the Han people, Sima Yi ordered Sima Zhao to lead thousands of people to go northward, from Taihangxing north to Shangdang, so as to protect Shangdang from the Han army.

Therefore, Sima Zhao didn't know the news that Liu Bao and Tian Yu returned to the Han and Bingzhou fell into the Han, but there was a time difference.

Sima Yi dismantled Sima Zhao's military newspaper, and after a few glances, his expression suddenly changed, and he lost his usual poise.

Seeing this, Wang Ji asked curiously, "Teacher, what happened in Bingzhou?"

Sima Yi didn't speak, but handed the general report to Wang Ji, and then he let out a long sigh with an extremely dignified expression.

"what!"

Wang Ji exclaimed, with a face full of disbelief, he muttered, "Tian Yu is an important minister of our Great Wei, and he has received great favor from the country, so how could he join forces with Liu Bao and surrender to the Western Thieves!"

Under normal circumstances, Tian Yu would not surrender, of course, but Liu Bao couldn't help tricking him into the camp. If he didn't surrender, he would die.After Shou's death, the [-] soldiers under his command will inevitably surrender or die under the attack of Liu Bao and Jiang Wei because the dragons have no leader.After weighing for a long time, Tian Yu finally surrendered to the big man half-voluntarily and half-forced.

After a long while, Wang Ji showed worry, and said: "Teacher, all the counties in the northern border of Bingzhou, such as Taiyuan and Xihe, have fallen into the hands of the Han people. Beware of the Jingxing Pass! Be careful of the Han people entering from Jinyang to the west. , passed Jingxing, and went deep into the hinterland of our army."

"I'm afraid it's too late!" Sima Yi shook his head and said worriedly: "According to the date on the letter, four or five days have passed, and it has been many days since my son received the military information. Soldiers are precious and fast, if I use them , will send soldiers to attack Jingxing."

"Then what should I do?"

Wang Ji, who thought he was resourceful, couldn't help but feel flustered, Bingzhou Hu looked at Hebei, Jizhou was vast, and if Jiang Weiruo sent troops from Jingxing, he could basically attack Yecheng directly.If Yecheng, the capital of the country, is captured, it will not be long before Cao Weili perishes.

"Now we lead the main force of the country, all in Hanoi, and the country is only guarded by General Wei with tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers. If Jiang Wei really sends troops from Jingxing, Yecheng may be difficult to defend!" Wang Ji said.

Immediately Jiang Ji also arrived. After seeing Sima Zhao's military situation, his face turned pale, and he said without confidence: "Is it possible that Jiang Wei will not go to Jingxing, but go south to attack Shangdang."

Everyone ignored Jiang Ji. In the current situation, anyone with a talent for general strategy would choose to go to Jingxing and attack Yecheng in the south.

Sima Yi stroked his beard, paced back and forth, pondering over strategies, to see if there was a way to block Liu Chan and defeat Jiang Wei at the same time.

Sima Yi stopped and said: "An urgent order was sent to Yecheng, ordering General Wei to gather troops and horses to protect Zhongqiu. If Jiang Wei really went south from Jingxing, delay Jiang Wei as much as possible. And let General Anxi lead the people from Shangdang to go north, To cut off Jiang Wei's grain road, we must prevent Jiang Wei from concentrating on looking south."

"promise!"

Zhongqiu City (now Neiqiu) is connected to Zhao Guo and Changshan in the north, Daluze in the east, Taihang Mountain in the west, and Handan and Yecheng in the south.If Jiang Wei went south from Jingxing, because of the obstacles of mountains and rivers, this place would directly become an important place for military strategists and a transportation hub.

And Sima Zhao's going north from the Shangdang was something Jiang Wei had been worried about. The mountain road was thousands of miles long. If the grain road could not be maintained, Jiang Wei's troops would inevitably be limited by the lack of grain and grass. Lead the army south.

It can be said that Sima Yi's impromptu strategies were all designed to delay Jiang Wei's use of troops as much as possible, and buy time for him to come up with a way to defeat Jiang Wei.

Wang Ji, who is proficient in military strategy, also understood Sima Yi's meaning, and said: "The Taifu's strategy is very good, but Jiang Wei should have tens of thousands of troops, and if he collects the Huns and surrendered troops, he can at least reach [-] to [-] troops. It's raging, with the intention of destroying me, I'm afraid General Wei will be too hard to stop!"

Sima Yi stopped and said in a deep voice: "As Bo Yu said, there are two strategies at the moment. One is to divide the elite into the north and go north. Jiang Wei will march forward with his troops and travel thousands of miles. The soldiers will be exhausted. You can win the first battle; second, lead the army to defeat Liu Chan first, Liu Chan's army is defeated, and our army will move northward, and we will definitely defeat Jiang Wei and have a chance to recover half of Bingzhou."

Everyone listened to Sima Yi's strategy with solemn faces, no matter which method it is, it is not easy for Wei Jun to do it now.

If the elite of the divided army go north, what will happen to the Hanoi battlefield?If Liu Chan is aware of it, he will lead an army to attack; or defeat Liu Chan, if it can be done easily, how can he be in a dilemma right now.

Sima Yi looked at the evening sun with his hands behind his back, and had a vague idea in his mind.

……

In Changshan County, as Jiang Wei said, there is nothing to be afraid of the empty Hebei counties.

After leaving Jingxing, [-] soldiers under his command went to the city of Zhending.Tian Fen, the prefect of Changshan in the city, immediately pissed in fear. He didn't understand how Han soldiers from far away in Taiyuan and Hanoi would appear in front of him.

He looked at the invisible Han army and didn't think much about it. With so many troops appearing under the city, there was only one possibility at the moment, the Han army had already occupied Bingzhou.Tian Fen was also very happy, and immediately ordered Chang Shi to leave the city and surrender to Jiang Wei.

The current situation is that the city has surrendered, but the military discipline problems caused by his subordinates really make Jiang Wei a big headache.

"General Wei, the general of the Dai State has robbed other people's property and plundered with troops. It is Liu Feng, the nephew of the Dai Wang. I don't know how to deal with it?" The crowd has little discipline, so it should be punished. But Liu Feng is the nephew of the king, and the punishment needs to be cautious, and he must not lose his mind."

"What is Qinzong's intention?" Jiang Wei asked.

Li Dan, courtesy name Qinzong, was born in Qi County, Guanghan.His father was Li Chao, the governor of Yizhou in the old Liu period, and one of the three dragons of the Li family.Li Dan is quite talented. He became an official with filial piety and honesty. He has been in the army for many years and is in charge of the laws and regulations of the army.

Li Dan pondered for a while, and said: "Report to General Wei, Liu Feng has a special status, it is better to send him back to the country and hand him over to the king."

Jiang Wei looked at Wang Si and asked, "What does Chengzong think?"

"Returning to General Wei, I thought that the military order was like a mountain. General Wei has long said that those who violate military discipline should be severely punished. How can we repeat it now. And now that our soldiers enter Hebei, it is better to subdue the hearts of the soldiers and people in Hebei. With this matter, we can achieve this wish." , I hope the general will not abandon the great righteousness with a small harm." Wang Si replied with cupped hands.

Jiang Wei thought about it for a long time, and said: "Since what Chengzong said, Liu Feng and those who violated military discipline were pushed to the city gate for execution, so that the people of Changshan will know about it. After this incident, Chengzong will appease the people of the Southern Huns. , don't make it a mess"

"promise!"

After a pause, Jiang Wei added: "Reward all the money our army has seized. If there is any shortage, let Tian Fen find a way."

Punishments belong to punishments, rewards still have to be rewarded, and Jiang Wei still clearly distinguishes them.Especially the Southern Huns punished Liu Feng. If they don't give money to stabilize their military morale, it is not certain that something will happen.
