Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, just want to die

Chapter 343 Plan for the Southeast

Tens of thousands of Wang Ling's troops were still stationed at Cai, and he did not dare to move for a short time.

For Ma Su, it was fast enough to scare off Wang Ling and force Qin Lang to surrender. But judging from the current battle situation, this speed is still far from enough.

The reason is simple, because Soochow has now sent troops. What's even more frightening is that although they have a total of 150,000 troops, there are exactly 100,000 people besieging Hefei.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is that the commander-in-chief of these 100,000 people is our Soochow Sun Lao Er!

Hefei, Shiwan, Sun Quan, these labels mixed together can easily create some bad imaginations.

In fact, Ma Di has received some news that the Soochow army has been besieging Hefei for a long time as always. As for Cao Wei, Qingzhou Farewell King Wang Ji has led his army to Shouchun, and Hefei is not far away...

Now, it’s the stage for Cao Wei’s famous general Wang Ji...

Once Sun Quan was defeated in Hefei and returned, Lu Xun of Lujiang had to withdraw his troops immediately no matter how good the progress was. Otherwise, it will be easy to encounter the joint attack of Shouchun and Runan, and it will inevitably lead to defeat.

As soon as Lu Xun withdrew his troops, Soochow would basically retreat across the board, and the pressure on the entire Cao Wei and Huainan theater would be reduced drastically. And the Runan front line was no longer the front line in an instant, so it was of little significance for Wang Ling to defend this place.

After all, Wang Ling led 50,000 people south to Runan in order to prevent Ma Di from causing trouble and uniting Runan with Soochow. If Soochow was repulsed, Runan would not need to defend heavily.

At that time, Wang Ling is likely to abandon the entire Runan and turn around to lead Xuchang Dingling's troops to attack Kunyang.

Although Wang Ping is good at defending, there are no dangerous mountains and rivers in Kunyang, and there are not many defenders in Kunyang, so Wang Ping may not be able to withstand it.

If Kunyang fell, all Ma Su's efforts and the sacrifices of countless Han soldiers in the past two or three months would be in vain.

Therefore, Ma Su had to severely injure or trap Wang Ling before Sun Quan defeated Hefei, so that he could not quickly return to Dingling and join the army to attack Kunyang.

At that time, they will continue to delay time and wait for Zhang Yi to attack Wancheng.

"Looking at you, you seem to have a plan?" Zhang He raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, looking at Ma Su's expression of preparing for a big fight.

Zhang He knew Ma Su relatively well. Most of the time, this kid had his own ideas. If he said this at this time, he definitely had already made plans.

"That's natural. How can I be unprepared?" Ma Su smiled and said to Zhang He while spreading out the map of Runan.

"What are your plans?" Zhang He asked.

"It's actually not that difficult. Lao Zhang, do you still remember how I won the fight in the street pavilion?"

"Huh??" Zhang He's eyes turned evil when he looked at Ma Su, and his whole face changed.

Which pot should not be opened and lifted?

Zhang He suffered two major losses in his life. One was when he was surrounded and defeated by Zhang Fei at Wakou Pass, and the other time was when he was teased by Ma Su at the street pavilion.

This is the most unspeakable thing about Zhang He, it's so fucking embarrassing.

"Ahem... I don't want to expose your scars, I just want to explain the tactics." Ma Su scratched his head and coughed twice in embarrassment.

It was bad, and I forgot that the street pavilion was my highlight, but my opponent was right in front of me at that time.

"In short, this time we still plan to follow the same pattern as last time, dividing the troops into five routes to get behind Wang Ling. The five routes of troops are stationed in different places to confuse Wang Ling!"

"The troops were divided into five groups and stationed near Ancheng in Runan, thereby blocking Wang Ling's food route. At the same time, the distance between each group was neither too far nor too close. They all defended according to danger and avoided direct combat with the Wei army."

"If Wang Ling divides his troops into five groups and attacks them by then, then I can personally lead my headquarters to divide them and attack them, defeating Wang Ling's headquarters in one fell swoop!" At this moment, Ma Su only has more than 14,000 people at hand, and he still needs Zhang He. The troops were divided and stationed in Wuyin, and the number of troops that could be invested was only 10,000.

But by coincidence, the number of soldiers and horses commanded by Wang Ling on the opposite side happened to be fifty thousand.

Ten thousand to fifty thousand, Ma Su seemed to dream back to the day when he settled in the street pavilion.

But this time, his goal was no longer to simply defend according to danger (it seemed that it was not the case last time), but to find a way to trip up or even severely injure Wang Ling.

In this way, Ma Di could no longer just stay in the dangerous place of Wuyin. He had to garrison on the Runan Plain. Find a boundary near Ancheng that can resist the counterattack of Wang Ling's army, cut off Wang Ling's return route and food routes, and prevent Wang Ling from returning north.

This is very difficult because Runan has roads extending in all directions and the logistics network is very smooth. Even if Ma Di blocks one road, Wang Ling can transport grain from other directions.

Therefore, Ma Su wanted to cut off his food route and force Wang Ling to stay in Runan and fight with him. This was not an easy task.

So after thinking for a long time, Ma Su finally came up with his old plan.

The troops were divided into five groups, and they all marched into Runan under the banner of "Han conquers the northern generals and horses". Deep ditches and high barriers were built on various traffic arteries. If the strong walls could not come out to cut off Wang Ling's grain road, they were forcibly cut off.

Ma Su, on the other hand, observed from the center and led his light cavalry as rangers to patrol everywhere.

If Wang Ling mobilized his army to attack one place after another, Ma Su would lead his troops on a rapid march to help! He used bluffs and surprise night attacks to harass the rear of the Wei army, making it impossible for Wang Ling to encircle the Han army.

If Wang Ling divided his forces to besiege the Han army, Ma Di would personally lead the troops to attack. Just like Weinan's quick battle, he would defeat the Wei army in one battle like a candied haws on a stick.

If Wang Ling chose to join the Shu army in a deep ditch and high base, Ma Di would continue to confront him for a long time.

All in all, as long as time is delayed, Ma Su has already won.

Ma Su's strategy is similar to the strategy of gathering troops and valleys proposed by Jiang Wei in history. It is through the persistence of various troops to contain the enemy and free the elites to harass and break through.

Of course, the principles of their strategies are similar and the problems they face are the same. Wang Ling had nearly 50,000 troops at his disposal, while Ma Di only had more than 10,000 troops at his disposal, and had to divide his troops.

If it is subdivided into various places, there will be even fewer troops available.

If Wang Ling suddenly becomes more decisive, the whole army will be mobilized to quickly attack and besiege him. It is estimated that Ma Su's guerrillas would be difficult to rush to the battlefield quickly, and the stationed Han army would probably be eaten.

Zhang He also noticed this situation and looked at Ma Su with some worry.

"Are you taking a little too much risk? How dare you take such a big deal with just a few people? If Wang Ling sees through your lies, you and these ten thousand soldiers will die without a burial place!"

"Go, go, stop saying these words to me. Do we have any other choice?" Ma Di waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly,

"As long as Soochow can give me some help, I won't take such a risk."

"But in general, the problem is not big. If I do this, I can hold off Wang Ling for at least a month. Even if I am defeated and die by then, when Wang Ling rushes back to Dingling, Wancheng should be attacked Are you down?"

"For the entire battle, this is all worth it!"

　I just came home from Chengdu today and found that the originally planned plot didn't work well, so I overturned and revised it again, so I couldn't write the third chapter...

　　I spent a whole night doing it, it was very uncomfortable.
