Chapter 415 Shouchun
"Your minister is entrusted with the important task of the state and leads the army in the east. The governor of Yangzhou is happy to cheat, saying that the minister communicated with Wu, and that he was ordered to be the current minister, and there is no evidence for it. Indignant about being unfaithful, he will march and ride 700 people, and will beheaded on the [-]th of this month. He will be beheaded on the same day, and the letter will be sent on a post-horse. If the courtiers are Ming ministers, they will be Wei ministers; , I would like to pay my respects to Chen Yu, weeping blood with grief, choking and dying, not knowing what to do, begging the court to inspect the sincerity."

——"Three Kingdoms Wei Shu 28"

After Zhuge Dan raised his troops, he still made this list to Luoyang.

The meaning is very clear, if you Sima Zhao don't hit me, I will still be Wei Chen, if you hit me, I will be Wu Chen.

Zhuge Dan is different from Wang Ling and Guanqiu Jian. His goal is very clear. He doesn't want to be an enemy of the Sima family, he just wants to separate Huainan.

Let's make do and get by.

Unexpectedly, Sima Zhao is a serious person, and he is unwilling to let it go.

Sima's steps rolled forward, not far from the last step.

It is impossible for Sima Zhao to let the uncertain factor of Zhuge's birthday exist in Huainan's heartland.

Then the 20 Chinese army from Luoyang went south with Wei Emperor Cao Mao, stationed in Qiutou, and ordered Zhennan General Wang Ji and Anton General Chen Qian and others to build ditches and barriers.

Adopt the same tactics as Sima Shi Mie Wuqiujian.

Surrounded on three sides, Mount Tai overwhelms the top.

Surrounded by Shouchun, Shi Bao, the newly appointed governor of Yanzhou, and Zhoutai, the newly appointed governor of Yanzhou, were sent to lead elite troops to guard against the Wu army on the periphery.

Wenqin and his son fought fiercely many times, trying to break the encirclement of the Wei army, but the Wei army was layer upon layer, endless.

Wenqin's [-] plays are a drop in the bucket.

Shi Bao and Zhou Tai worked hard at every step, and Wen Qin and his son seemed to be trapped in a ferocious iron cage, unable to break through the situation.

And Zhuge Dan has been standing by in Shouchun City.

General Wu of the State of Wu worshiped General Zhu Yi as the chief governor, false festival, and led [-] pioneers to drive away Sun Chen's political enemy Sun Yi.

Zhu Yi was defeated and lost more than two thousand people.

In the first stage of the Huainan War, Wei State had the upper hand.

Zhuge Dan calmly watched more and more Wei troops gathering below the city wall.

A series of unfavorable news cast a cloud over the faces of the subordinates.

"The other army's spirit is strong, but our army's spirit is weak. It is the most taboo to defend the city. When you go out of the city for a small battle, kill the general and capture the flag to boost the morale of the army." Wen Qin suggested.

Zhuge Dan directly cast a blank stare. The two had disagreed before, and now it is even more impossible to be of one mind. "You have fought many times before, have you gained anything?"

Wen Qin laughed dryly, "There are many thieves and powerful forces, and our army is few in strength. If you send more troops, you may not be able to defeat the enemy."

"Don't worry, I ordered two waters to help me. Sima Zhao came here to attach fire to water, so he will be captured by me." Zhuge Dan said confidently.

All the generals were dumbfounded.

Zhuge Dan reassured the crowd and said: "The city has enough food and grass for a year or two. Sima Zhao and 26 troops surrounded me. It is good for a quick battle, but not for a long one. If it is long, the thieves will change. I heard that Yang Zheng was attacking the city in Yongliang. Sima Zhao Can Zhaoan concentrate on cutting me?"

This made everyone feel more at ease.

"Water can overcome fire, but fire can also overcome water." Suddenly a person in the crowd shouted loudly.

Zhuge Dan believed in fate the most. Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning, "Who made the noise?"

A young general stepped forward, "Unpredictable things happen in the sky, and the king's body is in the hands of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Huainan. How can you speak lightly of the number of days? The number of days is also up for grabs. Now the Wei army is not encircled. Let's go all out and attack Jiangdong's reinforcements inside and outside. , severely dampen the morale of the Wei army, increase the morale of our army, and make the Wei army fear me, then we can defend the city and wait for the right time!"

There are 15 troops in Shouchun City, [-] reinforcements from Wenqin, Tang Zi, Quan Duan, Quan Yi and others in Wu Jun City, and [-] troops from Zhu Yi outside the city. If we can work together, it will not be difficult to break the siege of Wei Jun.

However, Zhuge Dan has been sitting on the sidelines, only letting Wen Qin, Zhu Yi and other Wu troops fight against the Wei army, and then let the advantage tilt to the Wei army.

After several battles, the Wu army suffered setbacks, and the morale of Shouchun's defenders also plummeted.

Everyone around whispered.

Seeing this man's stately appearance, full of heroic spirit, and eloquent conversation, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

However, Zhuge Dan's face was a little ugly, and he was refuted by an unknown young general. After all, he was ugly, "Who are you?"

"Report to the Lord, Ma Long."

"But Ma Long, who defended the new city with 20 soldiers and blocked [-] enemy troops?" Zhuge Dan has a good memory.

"It's the subordinate."

"Where do you live now?"

"General Wen's Zuo Sima." Ma Long said neither humble nor overbearing.

Zhuge Dan glanced at Wen Qin.

Wen Qin naturally knew the temper of his old boss, and angrily said to Ma Long: "Your Majesty is discussing matters, how can you allow you to talk nonsense, step down!"

Malone knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate made a mistake for a while, I hope the general will forgive me."

Only then did Zhuge Dan look a little better, and waved his hands, "What you said is also a good strategy, but General Wen has attacked many times, and all of them were defeated. The morale of the Wei army has not dropped, and the morale of our army has just fallen."

The ball hit Wen Qin again, and Wen Qin blushed, "If you call me another 3 horses..."

He couldn't even say that himself.

After all, he lost in several battles.

It is also impossible for Zhuge Dan to allocate his troops to Wenqin.

"General Wen, bear with it for now." In Zhuge Dan's impression, Wen Qin had never done anything wrong.

Zhuge Dan once commented on Wen Qin as "not enough to make things happen" in the relationship between the two for more than ten years.

"That's all for today, everyone can rest in peace." Zhuge Dan took another look at Ma Long who was half kneeling on the ground.

Everyone retreated, but Zhuge Dan's confidants Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi stayed behind.

"Then what Malone said has some truth." Jiao Yi said cautiously.

"It's a pity for this person. If he is not under Wen Qin's command, he can be used by me." Zhuge Dan's dislike for Wen Qin is comprehensive.

"Sun Chen knows that we are not compatible, so sending this person here is not a big deal for the emperor?" Jiao Yi didn't think much of Wen Qin either.

Zhuge Dan stood up, "He had no other choice. Wu people didn't want to go to the Northern Expedition, not because of their lack of combat power, so they had to send Wenqin. Back then, my nephew didn't understand this, so the army was defeated like a mountain. Ma Long... "

Jiao Yi hissed, feeling that Zhuge Dan's words made sense.

When the Wu army backstabbed Guan Yu, they were as fierce as wolves, and the 10,000+ army marched northward in Shouchun, but they were as cowardly as sheep.

The Sima Division assembled Huainan elites to attack the State of Wu, and the Wu army did not care about their own safety and broke through Dongguan. In front of the good situation, Zhuge Ke's 20 troops could not take down a Huaibei city, and suffered a big loss under the new city.

I'm afraid it's not just about Zhuge Ke's character.

Wen Qin played several times, except for his own parts, Wu Jun actually didn't work hard.

Zhu Yi's 3 horses were easily repelled by more than [-] troops from Zhoutai, which can explain the problem...

"Your Majesty has a good plan, doesn't this mean that Wu people are unreliable?" Jiang Ban said with his eyes wide open.

Zhuge Dan shook his sleeves, stretched out his fingers, and pointed to the sky, "Wen Qin can't be trusted, Wu people can't be trusted, they can only rely on the sky, my life depends on the sky, can Sima Zhaoan break me?"

From then on, Zhuge Dan focused on defense and never played.

However, the Wei army built a lot of construction outside Shouchun City, blocking the water around Shouchun, and was not in a hurry to attack.

The two sides entered the stage of confrontation.
