Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 255 Sweeping out the rebel General Meng Da (10)
"No one is forcing you! It was you who were greedy for money and ungrateful, and greedy for words. You walked this road step by step!" Sima Yi's voice became as cold as steel, "You have been relying on your talent all your life, Changing from east to west, without rules, no one cheats, everything cheats, you don’t believe in yourself, which subordinate follows you and doesn’t protect you behind your back? Come here——chop off the heads of his father and son Go to Luoyang, and 'show the head of the owl' in the street, thinking it is a ring for those who are not loyal!"

This time, no one persuaded him to withdraw or change the order.Both Li Fu and Deng Xian bit their lips tightly, not uttering a word.

After the Huben warriors escorted the disheveled Meng Da and his son away, Sima Yi withdrew his solemnity and looked at Li Fu with a smile: "Mr. Li! I heard that you are very resourceful, but I still did something wrong for Meng Da." Less good idea..."

"The villain is the planner of the defeated army, how dare you say wise?" Li Fu answered with his head bowed.

"Well...you can't say that. On the stall, Meng Da is a person who is worried about gains and losses, wandering around and has no fixed opinions. Even if Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are reborn, it will be difficult to help him succeed!" Sima Yi said, his eyebrows raised. There was another trace of contempt in the room, "It's only a matter of time before a bony, ungrateful, and ungrateful villain like him will destroy himself! The governor saw his end six years ago! "

Then, he straightened his face, and said calmly: "Now that Xincheng County has returned to our territory in the Great Wei Dynasty, the governor hereby swears that everything will be reformed with the people, let the past go, make good and eliminate bad, and rebuild peace! Deng Xian, you still stay here Li Fu, you will be promoted to be an official of the county—this time, the governor must choose a new prefect worthy of assistance for you, and guard the southwestern gate for our Great Wei!"

Wei Jun lined up in a square and neat formation, and withdrew from Xincheng County in an orderly manner.

Sima Yi stood on the hill outside the East City Gate, looked at the peaceful county town, and said slowly to himself: "Xincheng County, which is as solid as gold, is said to be 'difficult for birds to enter, and difficult for apes to climb'—how could it be expected? As soon as the Bendu's army arrived, they took down the city within ten months! Master, do you know the reason?"

"Father commander is like a god with his troops, he is invincible in every attack, and he is invincible in all battles - a mere new city can be easily destroyed!" Sima Shidang praised.

"You are wrong, my father is never as loud as you!" Sima Yi turned his head and stared at him deeply, and said awe-inspiringly, "This county opened its gates to let my Great Wei Tianjun enter. It wasn't because of the father's smashing car or flying stones! Meng Da and his son are selfish and don't care about the suffering of the people-since they have regarded the city's civilians as worthless, it is no wonder that the city's civilians also regard them as worthless Abandon it! Once the hearts of the people are lost, even if there is a golden city for thousands of miles, who will help you guard it? You must keep this lesson in mind in the future!"

"Okay, my lord." Sima Shi replied convincingly.

Sima Yi was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to the western sky: "Once the new city is lost, Zhuge Liang will no longer be able to go east to the Hanshui River and attack Jingxiang! Our great Wei country is invulnerable!"

"Father, I have a question on my mind—why did you let General Niu Jin take only 1 horses to Weixing County to support the prefect of Shen Yi?" Master Sima looked around, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "In my humble opinion, Why don't you take this good opportunity to go west with your troops, commit suicide in Weixing County, and challenge Zhuge Liang in Hanzhong County with the people of Jingxiang? You can also teach the heroes of the world to see your astonishing talent!"

Sima Yi turned his face slightly, glanced at him coldly, and cast his eyes back to the western sky: "Does a person need to win so many victories for himself? Too many victories are too much burden! The territory to the west of Weixing County is under the jurisdiction of General Cao Zhen. Since he is the chief official in the Kansai area, he should bear the heavy responsibility of resisting Zhuge Liang himself! Father will never do such a stupid thing as superfluous!"

"Xincheng County has fallen?" When Zhuge Liang heard the news in the tent of the Chinese army in the Hanzhong camp, he couldn't help being so shocked that the goose feather fan in his hand fell to the ground. Only sixteen days have passed!"

There was a reason why he was so surprised: In his previous plan, although Meng Da's talent could not completely "turn over the salty fish" and repel the Wei army in one fell swoop, but relying on the strength of the city and the wealth of food and grass, he should at least be able to defeat the Wei army. Sima Yi dragged it down for three or four months, making their veterans tired.At that time, after repelling Cao Zhen's attack on Xiegu Road, he will be free to go straight from Weixing County to help Xincheng County with all his strength!However, he never expected that Xincheng County, which had 160 million shi of grain and was impregnable internally and externally, would collapse in just [-] days under Sima Yi's hands!This surprised him very much: he knew that Sima Yi was very powerful, but he never expected that Sima Yi would be so powerful in this "strike from a distance" contest with himself - every move was like a thunderbolt attack, almost It is invincible!

But Zhuge Liang couldn't care less about this matter any longer. He pondered for a while, and then ordered Ma Di: "Send someone to inform Wang Ping, Yao Jing, and Zheng Tuo immediately, and tell them to stop attacking Weixing County immediately and withdraw their troops. Hanzhong——If the facts are as expected, after Sima Yi pacified Xincheng County, the next step would be to send troops straight out of Weixing County and attack our Hanzhong County! Wang Ping and his mere [-] horses are moths in front of him Putting out the fire?"

Ma Di's complexion darkened, he lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, you don't know: Su just received a report from General Wang Ping this morning—they were attacked by Wei thieves outside Weixing County. Yao Jing, Zheng Tuo and other [-] soldiers have already died in battle! Now, he is on his way back to Hanzhong County with his remnants and defeated soldiers..."

"Has the Wei thief ever followed up?"

"This, Wang Ping didn't mention it in the newsletter—they probably didn't follow up afterward."

Only then did Zhuge Liang relax a little.He changed his mind, stomped his feet heavily, and said bitterly: "Meng Da is an idiot, he doesn't listen to the honest advice, he is greedy for his own territory and doesn't know what to choose, sits and waits for death, and is finally surrounded and wiped out by Sima Yi—— It's really self-inflicted, and I don't regret it! I can only sigh that my big man's "Longzhong Opposition" strategy of "going out of Guanzhong in the west and out of Jingxiang in the east" has been completely broken since then! The truth is that we lost the main way to march southeast and cannot go east. Taking Jingzhou by the Han River, the only way to get to the Central Plains is from Longxi and Guanzhong in the future.

He sighed for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and asked Ma Su, "Where is Li Yan...do you have any news from Chen Dao? Is Li Yan already willing to lead Jiangzhou's powerful soldiers to the north?"
