Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 223: Sima Yi ambushes his troops in series, and God Liu Bei attacks in the east and west (please vote for additional updates)
Seeing Liu Bei letting Guan Qiujie go, Wei Yan asked in confusion: "Why did your Majesty let Guanqiujie go? If Sima Yi knew Cao Pi's location, he would definitely send troops to rescue him."

Liu Bei's smile was warm, and he also had the majesty of an emperor who was not angry but proud:

"I originally wanted to trap Cao Pi for three days and deplete his morale, so I ordered Yide and Meng Qi to help Zilong."

"I never thought that in less than a day, the morale of Cao Pi's 20,000 soldiers and horses would have collapsed."

"Cao Pi's military use is far inferior to that of Cao Cao. Capturing Cao Pi is like capturing chickens and ducks."

"Now that Cao Pi is trapped in Iron Cage Mountain, Sima Yi will definitely come to rescue him after hearing the news."

"Sima Yi is a dragon and a phoenix among men. In terms of intelligence and martial arts, he is not weaker than the prime minister."

"If we can capture this man, the false Wei will be like a broken pillar."

Wei Yan asked: "Your Majesty wants to capture Sima Yi. Do you need to notify the General Chariot and Cavalry and others to cooperate?"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and shook his head gently: "No need for the time being."

"Sima Yi is very resourceful and resourceful. If a flaw is exposed, it will be difficult to achieve my intention."

"It would be better to let Yide and others judge the battlefield situation on their own, so that Sima Yi cannot make accurate predictions."

Discussion room.

People reported that Zhang Fei had sent his son Zhang Bao to arrive.

"what?"

"With the arrival of Xingguo, there must be changes in the war ahead."

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows slightly.

Not long after.

Zhang Bao stepped forward and bowed his hand to Liu Bei in greeting.

Subsequently.

Zhang Bao reported to Liu Bei the battle on Huaili Avenue and the agreement reached between Zhuge Qiao and Sima Yi.

Hearing that Zhuge Qiao saw through Sima Yi's intention, Liu Bei's tone became more approving: "Bosong's idea coincides with mine."

"Using Cao Pi as bait, he will take the city of Chang'an, and I will capture Sima Yi. If this can be accomplished, the journey of reviving the Han Dynasty will be one step closer."

Zhuge Qiao didn't care about Cao Pi's life or death, he only cared about whether Chang'an City could be captured; Liu Bei also didn't care about Cao Pi's death, he only cared about whether Sima Yi could fall into the trap.

Neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Qiao took Cao Pi seriously.

Capturing Cao Pi is easy, but the difficult part is how to use Cao Pi to achieve greater goals.

Zhang Bao couldn't quite understand Liu Bei's words: "Well, Sima Yi has an army of more than 60,000 people. How will your Majesty capture him?"

Liu Bei pointed out without hesitation: "Although Sima Yi has an army of more than 60,000, he may not be able to command this army of more than 60,000."

"In the old Battle of Baima, Cao Cao's military strength was far inferior to that of Yan Liang, but he was able to kill Yan Liang at Baima."

"Although Yun Chang is brave, he cannot do without Xun You's strategy of dividing the troops."

"I trapped Cao Pi in Iron Cage Mountain, and sent Guanqiujie to report to Sima Yi. Sima Yi will definitely send troops to rescue him after hearing the news."

"When Sima Yi divides his troops, I will abandon Cao Pi and go capture Sima Yi!"

Zhang Bao scratched his head: "But if Sima Yi personally leads troops to rescue him, wouldn't we be in vain?"

Liu Bei laughed: "Sima Yi is in charge of the army, how can he dare to take risks himself?"

"He is worried that I will set up an ambush outside Iron Cage Mountain, so he will not dare to come in person, and will only send troops to attack."

"I will do the opposite and go directly to his main formation!"

Zhang Bao was convinced.

Liu Bei left Zhang Bao in the army and issued orders one by one to Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Wei Yan, Chen Shi, Zhang Nan and other generals.

the other side.

Guanqiujie was careful all the way and took the small path to Sima Yi's army.

Although Guanqiu Jie admired Liu Bei's magnanimity, now they had to become enemies for their own masters, and Guanqiu Jie did not want his brothers and clansmen to suffer because of this.

Seeing that Guanqiu Jie's words were similar to those of Zhuge Qiao, Sima Yi couldn't help but become suspicious: "Colonel Guanqiu, how did you avoid Liu Bei's blockade?"

Guanqiu Jie didn't dare to hide it and sighed: "To be honest, I was let go by Liu Bei."

"My father was afraid that I would suffer, so he asked me to take advantage of Liu Bei's admiration for loyal people and tell Liu Bei the truth."

"Liu Bei was just as my father expected. Seeing that I was neither humble nor arrogant, he was only willing to serve the Wei Dynasty and did not make things difficult for me."

"Liu Bei asked me to tell the supervisor that if the supervisor is willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, he must treat him with the courtesy of a soldier."

Sima Yi frowned, doubting what Guanqiu Jie said.

Su Ze said solemnly: "Supervisor, Liu Bei did this deliberately. I'm afraid that an ambush has been set up in Iron Cage Mountain, and we are just waiting for the Supervisor to dispatch troops and generals."

"Since the Supervisory Army has an agreement with Zhuge Qiao, it's better to just stand still here."

Sima Yi shook his head: "If I don't know your Majesty's position, I can still hold my troops."

"But now that I know His Majesty's location and I don't go to save him, His Majesty will definitely blame him in the future."

"Liu Bei is so treacherous!"

Sima Yi secretly hated him.

Liu Bei deliberately leaked Cao Pi's location because he didn't want to give Sima Yi any time to delay.

This is a conspiracy!

Sima Yi knew there was an ambush in Iron Cage Mountain but had to send troops to rescue him!
Cao Pi was the king and Sima Yi was the minister.

If a minister fails to save the king, he will be punished by death.

Su Ze wanted to speak but stopped.

Obviously.

Su Ze also understood the sinister nature of Liu Bei's actions.

As long as Sima Yi is a minister, he must rescue Cao Pi after hearing the news.

Just like in the past when Pang Juan attacked Zhao and Sun Bin directly attacked Wei, if Pang Juan didn't return to the army, it would be because he had different intentions, and if he returned, he would fall into the trap.

Taking a deep breath, Sima Yi suppressed the anger in his heart: "Liu Bei is not Sun Bin, and I am not Pang Juan."

"General Su, I will give you 20,000 troops and horses. You can lead the troops to rescue Your Majesty."

"If you encounter Liu Bei's ambush, don't panic."

"I will send Xian Yufu and Dai Ling each to recruit 10,000 soldiers to assist you."

Sima Yi carefully told Su Ze the specific march plan to avoid misunderstandings in Su Ze's mind.

Su Ze thought carefully for a moment and said: "The supervisors have transferred most of the soldiers and horses, so the main formation is empty."

"If Zhang Fei's horse surpasses Zhao Yun and attacks, how can the supervisory army resist?"

Sima Yi shook his head slightly: "Liu Bei's purpose is to use your Majesty as bait to defeat our army."

"I will use the strategy to ambush the enemy and concentrate superior forces to counterattack Liu Bei."

"If Zhang Fei and Ma Chao Zhao Yun learn that my army has gone to Iron Cage Mountain, how can they not worry about Liu Bei's safety?"

"Liu Bei expected that I would save His Majesty. If Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun heard that Liu Bei was in danger, how could he dare not to save him?"

"I'm treating others with their own treatment!"

"If I can rescue Your Majesty, I won't have to give up Chang'an City."

Su Ze thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed nothing wrong with Sima Yi's calculation and deployment.

after all.

There was no way Liu Bei would leave Cao Pi alone and make a special trip to fight Sima Yi, right?
Immediately.

Sima Yi mobilized his troops, set up false flags in the main formation, and took advantage of the darkness to let Su Ze, Xian Yufu, Dai Ling and other generals lead troops to rescue Cao Pi.

Huailin is less than twenty miles away from Tielong Mountain.

Now the night is clear and it is time to march.

There are mountains and grass blocking the view, so there is no need for open flames to attract attention.

Su Ze led the front army of 20,000 people in a hurry. When they were less than three miles away from Tielong Mountain, Su Ze felt something strange ahead and immediately stopped the formation.

Lieutenant General Li Fu approached and asked, "General, why did you give the order to stop?"

Su pointed to the jungle ahead: "It's midsummer now, and there are frogs croaking behind us, but the jungle in front is quite quiet."

"This place is less than three miles away from the Iron Cage Mountain that Guanqiu Festival mentioned. Be careful of an ambush!"

Li Fu asked for orders: "Why don't I lead an army to test it."

Su Ze nodded: "Liu Bei has many powerful generals under his command, so be careful and don't be too eager to fight!"

Li Fuhao said: "I have been in battle for a long time, how can I be afraid of Liu Bei's fierce general?"

Hearing only the sound of banners and clouds moving, Li Fu led three thousand soldiers into the jungle.

In the jungle.

Wei Yan, who was ambushing this place, saw that Su Ze had maintained his formation and sent Li Fu to lead troops to investigate. Knowing that the ambush had been discovered, he stopped pretending.

Hearing the sound of drums in the forest, Wei Yan led his troops to fight out: "General Wei Yan of the North of Hanzhen is here. General, you have fallen into the trap of my Majesty!"

Wei Yan shouted like thunder.

The sound of "falling into the trap" made the sergeants around Li Fu a little more fearful.

Li Fu laughed: "You are the only one who has soldiers and horses all the way, how can I be afraid of you!"

Wei Yan sneered: "Who said I only have one army?"

But they saw a bonfire burning on the hilltop on the right, which was the code that Wei Yan, Chen Shi, and Zhang Nan had agreed upon in advance.

Chen Shi and Zhang Nan, one on the left and one on the right, led their troops to attack.

"The thief will die!"

"You have fallen into His Majesty's plan!"

Li Fu didn't panic when he heard the killing cry, but just lined up to fight Wei Yan.

Su Ze saw three groups of ambushes appearing. He believed that Xian Yufu and Dai Ling could lead troops to respond, so he urged his troops to fight with the Han soldiers.

Fight for a while.

A rapid sound of gongs was heard in Wei Yan's army, and the fighting Han soldiers turned around and left.

Su Ze had doubts in his heart, so he ordered his troops to retreat.

"Strange, is this all Liu Bei's ambush?"

Su Ze had just commanded the battle in the Chinese army and saw that although Wei Yan, Chen Shi, and Zhang Nan were ambushing the troops with fierce shouts, there were not many ambush troops.

Li Fu said: "Maybe it's another way to hide. I don't know."

"It's better to go to Iron Cage Mountain to join His Majesty. As long as His Majesty is rescued, it doesn't matter what tricks Liu Bei has!"

Su Ze nodded and urged the army to move quickly.

When they arrived at Tielong Mountain, they saw Han soldiers guarding the pass, so Su Ze ordered Li Fu to be the vanguard and attack the Han soldiers.

When the Han soldiers saw Li Fu leading his troops to kill him, they all fired the Zhuge Liannu in their hands.

And on the left and right.

Wei Yan, Chen Shi and Zhang Nan led their troops to kill him again.

However, the banners of the three generals are Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Xiang Chong.

Li Fu laughed: "It turns out that the other ambush troops are waiting here! They are just a ragtag group!"

Su Ze, who was in the rear, saw this and once again urged his troops to fight with "Wu Yi", "Wu Ban" and "Xiang Chong".

Seeing that Su Ze's army was strong, the three generals "Wu Yi" retreated in a hurry.

When Li Fu was about to pursue him, Su Ze shouted: "Li Fu, go see your majesty quickly. Liu Bei will definitely lead the army to arrive later!"

Hearing Su Ze's call, Li Fu quickly led his troops into Iron Cage Mountain.

Cao Pi, who was resting on the top of the mountain, heard shouts of killing at the mountain pass and quickly sent people to find out.

Cao Pi was overjoyed when he learned that it was Su Ze who had led the troops and said, "Guanqiu Festival has not failed me. Please inform all the troops to come down the mountain immediately!"

The Wei soldiers, who were hungry and thirsty, learned that they could go down the mountain. One by one, they held on to their strength and rushed down the mountain.

The hunger can be endured, but the thirst cannot be endured for a moment!
Cao Pi, protected by Xu Chu, hurriedly rode down the mountain.

Compared to the other soldiers who were hungry and thirsty, Cao Pi had plenty of food on the mountain. Even Cao Pi's horses were well fed and drunk!
"Su Ze, the last general, came late to escort me, please forgive me!" Su Ze saw Cao Pi and quickly dismounted from his horse to apologize.

Cao Pi was out of danger now and was in a happy mood. How could he rebuke Su Ze: "General Su, please come up quickly. If you can help me get out of trouble, you will be credited."

"Where is Zhongda now?"

Su Ze's words were concise and concise: "The supervisory army is still on Huaili Avenue to contain Zhang Fei's horse and Zhao Yun."

Hearing the names of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, Cao Pi panicked: "Hurry and meet Zhongda. Don't be surrounded again."

Su Ze wondered: "Your Majesty, does he know where Liu Bei is now?" Until now, Su Ze had not seen Liu Bei.

This made Su Ze a little more uneasy.

Cao Pi was stunned: "You brought your troops here, but you didn't meet Liu Bei at the mountain pass? I thought you defeated Liu Bei."

After exchanging information with Cao Pi, Su Ze suddenly realized a serious problem: "If Liu Bei is not in Iron Cage Mountain, where will he go?"

"The ambush soldiers just fought for a while and then left. It seems that they deliberately lured our troops to rescue Your Majesty."

Suddenly.

A guess came to Su Ze's mind: Could it be that Liu Bei's purpose was to supervise the army?
not good!

This must be Liu Bei's plan to divide his troops!

The supervisor is in trouble!

Confirming this guess in his mind, Su Ze quickly said: "Your Majesty, it is very possible that we have fallen into Liu Bei's plan to divide our troops!"

"There are very few ambush troops from Liu Bei here, and there is no Liu Bei flag. They must be attacking Huaili Avenue."

"If Liu Bei defeats the supervisory army and marches directly to Chang'an City, I'm afraid Chang'an City will change hands!"

Wu Zhi was puzzled: "Zhongda used his troops well. Even if he could not win against Liu Bei's strong attack, he could retreat calmly."

"Chang'an City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How could Liu Bei easily capture Chang'an City?"

Su Ze then informed Cao Pi of the agreement between Sima Yi and Zhuge Qiao, saying: "The supervisors were worried that Your Majesty would suffer, so they pretended to agree to Zhuge Qiao's surrender of Chang'an City."

"I never thought that Guan Qiujie would come to report the news, and then the general would be able to save your majesty."

"It's just that the supervisor ordered General Zuo to return to Chang'an City in advance to carry grain and grass to Weinan. He will definitely carry grain and grass day and night."

"What a chain plan!"

"Liu Bei deliberately let the supervisors know the location of His Majesty. The supervisors had to mobilize troops to rescue His Majesty after learning the news."

"Liu Bei's goal is not His Majesty, but the city of Chang'an!"

Su integrated the existing intelligence and restored Liu Bei and Zhuge Qiao's serial plan.

Wu Zhi was shocked: "If Chang'an City is lost, we will have no way back!"

"Your Majesty, you can quickly send cavalry into Chang'an City and ask General Zuo to strengthen defenses!"

Cao Pi frowned: "If Liu Bei had guessed that you would think this way, he would not attack Chang'an City when the time comes, and he would attack me instead."

"If I divide my troops, how can I stop Liu Bei?"

"Are we still going to be trapped in a dangerous place by Liu Bei?"

Wu Zhi was speechless.

Cao Pi's worries are not unreasonable. What if Liu Bei just went to beat Sima Yi and then turned around and beat Cao Pi again?

Su Ze said solemnly: "This place is only more than forty miles away from Chang'an City. If we drive our troops quickly, we can reach Chang'an City before dawn."

"General Zuo, Zhu Ling and other generals are present in Chang'an City. It should be no problem to resist until dawn."

"It's better to go directly to Chang'an City and not meet up with the supervisory army."

"This saves time!"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the supervisory army. The supervisory army is very resourceful. If you see Liu Bei's main force on Huaili Avenue, you will definitely know that your majesty has escaped from trouble."

"I'll meet you at Chang'an City!"

Cao Pi frowned again: "My 20,000 troops are hungry and thirsty, how can we drive them forward quickly?"

"Make fire to make rice, and then go to Chang'an City to join the generals after you have enough water and food."

"Without my tens of thousands of troops, wouldn't Sima Yi and Zhang He be able to defend Chang'an City?"

Su Ze did not refute.

What Cao Pi said is also true.

The soldiers are hungry and thirsty, how can they drive them forward quickly?

Even if they barely reach Chang'an City, how can they have the strength to fight?

Just when Cao Pi ordered Su Ze and others to bury pots and make rice, Liu Bei had already led his troops to Huaili Avenue.

Seeing Liu Bei's arrival, Zhang Fei said in a surprised tone: "Brother, why are you here?"

Liu Bei smiled but did not answer, looked in the direction of Sima Yi's main formation and asked: "Is there any movement in Sima Yi's main formation?"

Zhang Fei shook his head: "I didn't notice any movement before nightfall."

Liu Bei squinted his eyes: "It looks quite similar if you keep it hidden."

"Unfortunately, no movement is the greatest movement."

"If I were Sima Yi and pretended to promise Bo Song during the day, I would definitely try to rob the camp tonight."

"With Sima Yi's wisdom, it is impossible not to think of this."

Zhang Fei was surprised: "Brother, what do you mean, Sima Yi divided his troops?"

Liu Bei then told Zhang Fei about the Guanqiu Festival.

Zhang Fei looked aggrieved: "Brother, he even hid this from me."

Liu Bei laughed: "If I didn't hide this from you, you would definitely rob the camp tonight."

"I want to capture Sima Yi alive, so naturally I can't let Sima Yi notice it."

"Pass my order, and in a quarter of an hour, we will send out troops to rob the camp!"

When Liu Bei wanted to rob the camp, Zhang Fei was naturally happy and sent someone to notify Ma Chao and Zhao Yun.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were also surprised.

Liu Bei's strategy of attacking from the east to the west was not only hidden from Sima Yi, but also from his own family!

Neither Ma Chao nor Zhao Yun asked further questions.

Soldiers are crafty.

Only by taking things by surprise and attacking them unprepared can you achieve miraculous feats.

in camp.

Sima Yi originally wanted to take a rest, but for some reason he felt particularly agitated tonight.

The noble son of a noble family in Hanoi, Sima Yi had the secret of longevity inherited from his family.

One of them is a regular schedule and adequate sleep. Even if the mountain collapses, you still have to snore as usual.

In the past, Sima Yi could close his eyes and fall asleep even if the war drums were roaring.

However, tonight, Sima Yi could only feel his eyelids pounding, and his heart and blood could not be stabilized.

"Is there something wrong with my deployment?"

"I have already predicted Liu Bei's purpose. It stands to reason that I can rescue your Majesty tonight."

"The meeting with Zhuge Qiao during the day allowed Zhuge Qiao to take advantage, but it also prevented Zhang Fei from overtaking Zhao Yun and not noticing that I had divided my forces."

"What went wrong?"

Sima Yi was upset, so he walked out of the tent and walked around the camp, asking the patrolling soldier Zhang Fei from time to time if there was anything unusual in the camp.

When he asked about the tenth patrol soldier, Sima Yi was suddenly startled: "No! Liu Bei should be fighting with Su Ze and others at this moment. How come there is no movement in Zhang Fei's camp?"

"No change is the biggest unreasonable thing. Could it be that -"

Sima Yi suddenly had an ominous guess in his mind: Zhang Fei is going to rob the camp!
As soon as this guess appeared, Sima Yi felt his heart beat faster.

"Beat the drums and gather the troops!"

Sima Yi's eyes were sharp and he decisively issued the military order.

Regardless of whether the speculation is true or false, Sima Yi will never gamble with his own life.

Although he did not understand Sima Yi's military order, the drummer still beat the military drum.

The resting soldiers walked out of the camp, their faces full of anger, and they kept muttering in low voices.

If it weren't for military regulations, some people would have jumped and scolded me.

"Has it been discovered?"

Liu Bei was a little surprised at Sima Yi's reaction, so he just assumed that his whereabouts had been noticed by the scouts arranged by Sima Yi.

"Blow the bugle!"

Liu Bei was also decisive.

No matter how Sima Yi discovered it, the sooner he entered Sima Yi's camp, the more advantage he would have.

It takes time to beat the drum and gather troops!

"kill!"

Zhao Yun led Yu Linqi to rush in first.

Hearing the sound of galloping horse hooves, Sima Yi's expression changed greatly: "How dare you come to rob the camp!"

Since Sima Yi beat drums in advance to gather troops, the Wei soldiers did not panic much when they heard Yu Linqi's killing cry.

Su Ze took away 20,000 troops, Xian Yufu and Dai Ling each took away 10,000 troops, Zhang He took away 5,000 troops, and Sima Yi still had 20,000 troops in the camp.

Being prepared in advance, Sima Yi was confident that he could stop Zhao Yun's robbery camp.

just.

Sima Yi didn't know that Liu Bei's troops who came to rob the camp numbered more than 30,000!

In addition to Wei Yan, Chen Shi and Zhang Nan, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Xiang Chong and other fierce generals came to rob the camp.

Liu Bei even personally led the white soldiers into the camp!
Seeing more and more Han soldiers, Sima Yi suddenly realized something was wrong.

"How come Zhang Fei has so many soldiers and horses?"

"You don't divide your troops to defend Iron Cage Mountain, but you add more troops to attack me?"

"Who gave this military order?"

"You can't be here for me!"

The more Sima Yi thought about it, the more something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt.

If the speculation is true, wouldn't it mean that Liu Bei's main force is here?
"not good!"

"Liu Bei told me His Majesty's location because he wanted to attack the east and west. His goal is really me!"

"Am I a good-looking person?"

Sima Yi has been with Cao Cao for a long time, so he will naturally study Cao Cao's classic battles carefully.

In the past White Horse Battle, Yan Liang was so helpless!

however.

Sima Yi's reaction was a little late, and it was too late to withdraw now.

Liu Bei's offensive is fierce. If he defends the stronghold, he can still stop Liu Bei. If he abandons the stronghold and flees, he will become a target for the cavalry.

Sima Yi thought quickly and summoned a general and ordered him to rush to Chang'an City to inform Zhang He to prepare to meet the enemy.

Simultaneously.

Sima Yi shrank his formation again, concentrating his superior forces as much as possible to avoid being scattered by Liu Bei's army.

If they fight independently, the disadvantage of being outnumbered will become more dangerous.

"I hope Su Ze's rescue of His Majesty goes smoothly."

"If His Majesty returns to Chang'an City, even if Liu Bei has another trick, he will definitely not be able to capture Chang'an City!"

Sima Yi was worried.

In this calculation, although Sima Yi was very cautious in using the ambush, he never thought that Liu Bei's troops would be more unexpected.

In terms of using troops, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are actually very similar. They both like to play surprise attacks and interludes. Their main focus is to outnumber the enemy and take them by surprise.

after all.

The experiences of Liu Bei and Cao Cao are quite similar. They were both on the weak side when they rose.

For the weak side, battles are almost always fought with outnumbered opponents.

If you can't win by surprise, it will be difficult to defeat a strong opponent.

Sima Yi didn't know how long he could last.

Sima Yi only knew that if he was defeated, Liu Bei would be able to appear outside Chang'an with the power of victory.

At this time, in Chang'an City, a large number of men and women in the city were requisitioned because of Sima Yi's order to transport grain and grass to Weinan.

There are also many wealthy businessmen who hurriedly moved their wealth to Weinan because of the rumors of "straight money".

Chang'an City, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, is currently undefended!
