Chapter 284 The Controversy Between Shu and Wei (3)
He sighed secretly in his heart, his face became serious, and he asked Sun Zi and Liu Fang: "I heard that the emperor is going to issue an edict, declaring that anyone who talks about the war in Guanzhong again will be demoted to three ranks, expelled from the court, and exiled to the border." "If anyone spreads rumors and slanders General Sima, once they are found out, they will be severely punished. Is there such a thing?"

After listening, Sun Zi and Liu Fang nodded.Liu Fang looked casual and said, "Your Majesty does have this intention. Your Majesty believes that this year, General Sima came to Guanzhong to take charge of the army and was able to fend off the rampant attacks of the Shu bandits. "No fault is a merit." Let some officials who don't understand the general situation and the overall situation discuss the Guanzhong war behind the back of General Sima, so as not to cause unnecessary noise and disturbance."

Chen Qun's face changed slightly when he heard this, he pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "Since it's the emperor's will, that's all. I'm afraid that the imperial court will be much quieter after this edict is issued. When the time comes, what does the emperor want?" It may not be enough for the minister to talk more!" He stood up and walked around the pavilion with his hands behind his back as he spoke, and then said: "The old man heard such an interesting rumor recently circulated by the Shu bandits in Hanzhong, what do you say? "Don't be afraid when you meet a horse, and hide when you meet a deer." After careful questioning, I realized that the "horse" in this rumor alludes to General Sima, and the "deer" alludes to General Zhang He... It seems In the eyes of the Shu bandits, they are more afraid of General Zhang Yun!"

"Lord Sikong, since it is a rumor from the Shu bandits, how can you use it as a basis for speculation?" When Sun Zi heard that Chen Qun was about to bring up the matter of "changing generals in battle", he said seriously, "The Shu bandits deliberately released this This rumor is clearly trying to sow dissension. It wants to stir up discord among our generals in the Great Wei Dynasty and shake our army's morale. Then they can take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and win in the chaos! In Sun's opinion, it is better to put it aside. I promise, after the battle in Guanzhong is over, we will judge the rivalry between General Zhang He and General Sima! However, the current overall situation in Guanzhong must remain stable!"

After listening to his words quietly, Chen Qun felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and the current situation could only be like this, so he nodded in agreement and said no more.

Zhuge Liang's surprise attack on Shangguyuan
Although it was only ten miles away from the camp of the Shu army that besieged the Qishan camp, Sima Yi and the [-] Wei troops he brought with him did not take the initiative to attack the enemy immediately, but found a dangerous area near the mountains and rivers to fight steadily. He set up his camp steadily and set up a stronghold, assuming a posture of vowing to fight the Shu army for a long time.

Sima Yi's move once again aroused strong dissatisfaction among the generals.The team of troops traveled nearly a thousand miles from Shanggu Plain to attack the Shu bandits head-on and rescue the siege of Qishan in time.Who would have thought that when General Sima arrived at the foot of Mount Qi, he set up camp and built an antler fence, and had no intention of fighting against the Shu army at all.This caused Fei Yao, Dai Ling, Guo Huai and other generals to complain again. They were all excited, and they all came to Sima Yi's Chinese army tent to ask to fight and kill the enemy.

Sima Yi sat quietly on the tiger-skin chair in the tent, listening to all the generals under his command making a fuss, but kept calm and did not express his opinion.After waiting for about half an hour, the generals had finished their spittle, finished speaking, people were tired from the noise, and the tent gradually became quiet. Then Sima Yi calmly raised his head, and the depths of his eyes suddenly looked up. As soon as the light came on, a cold light shone, and he stared at the generals under the tent coldly, gaining momentum, but did not speak.I don't know why, the Wei generals are usually murderous and ruthless characters, but today when they looked at this calm and pretentious General Sima, everyone felt that his eyes were sharp, as if they could see through them with just one glance. Going to the bottom of my heart, my whole body suddenly felt cold, and I couldn't help but shut my mouth and kept silent.

After Sima Yi raised his head and looked around at the generals for a week, he said slowly: "You should know that Zhuge Liang's large-scale attack this time was originally planned for a long time and has been prepared for a long time. They used the name of restoring the false Han to confuse people's hearts, but The generals and men of Shu are willing to fight for them, and they have become the masters of tigers and wolves. How can they be underestimated? Although the Shu army has besieged Qishan for more than two months, according to my commander, they are full of vigor and vitality. Hungry tigers come out of the scorpion. They don’t eat human flesh and don’t stop. It’s extremely dangerous. If you fight head-to-head with them, even if you don’t suffer, but ‘kill three thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred yourself’, this is not the best strategy to deal with the enemy! Don't be impatient, Jun Shao, this commander will send troops to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

Dai Ling was very impatient to hear that, and as soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, he jumped out of the line and shouted: "Now that the Shu bandits are coming to fight and shrink their heads, why don't the people in the world laugh at us for being as cowardly as a mouse?" ?”

When Sima Yi heard this, he couldn't help feeling secretly angry, but he gritted his teeth to hold back, without showing any signs of expression, his left hand hidden in the sleeve of his robe suddenly crackled, and he clenched his fist unconsciously.He was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said: "General Dai is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. He deserves to be my Great Tiger General of Wei. This commander admires him. Come! Pass on my commander's order to let General Dai lead 8000 troops to fight!" As he spoke, he threw a command arrow at Dai Ling, stared at him deeply, and said, "I am waiting here for the good news of General Dai's victory!"

Dai Ling took the command arrow as soon as he had no time to think about it, he immediately beamed with joy, jumped up and down, and encouraged him to leave.After Sima Yi waited for him to leave the camp, he stroked his beard and murmured for a moment, then called Zhang He again, and said: "General Zhang quickly leads five thousand elite soldiers to follow General Dai to fight, and hold the formation for General Dai in the rear. Remember—this battle If you win, don't chase after him; if you lose this battle, quickly retreat!" Zhang Yun nodded after hearing this, and took his orders to leave.

Sima Yi watched Zhang Xi walk away quickly, a look of worry flashed across his face.He sighed deeply in his heart, but he was helpless.In fact, in the past few months, Sima Yi has already found out the details of the Guanzhong army he brought with him through his open and unannounced visits.Although the Guanzhong army has made many illustrious military exploits in recent years, it has long been "tired and unable to rest, tired and restless" after years of fighting in the high mountains and mountains of Longxi.However, all the generals in Guanzhong were very happy with their achievements, and they only knew how to push forward bravely, completely ignoring the dangers and dangers in their own troops.The reason why Sima Yi has been reluctant to take up the challenge all this time is precisely because of this danger, and he dare not act rashly.At the same time, Sima Yi has also made up his mind that as long as he repels the Shu invaders this time, he will free up his hands to carry out a comprehensive rectification of the Guanzhong army, eliminate its inertia and increase its vigor, and effectively consolidate the combat effectiveness of the army.However, Zhang Yun, who is the general of Zhengxi chariot and cavalry, does not know whether it is intentional or unintentional. They are booing blindly, with no opinion and no vision. It is really "more than enough wisdom for a general, but not enough for a general".Fortunately, Cao Rui did not hand over the military power in Guanzhong to this person, otherwise, with his bland and flamboyant style and eagerness for quick success and quick profit, the situation in Guanzhong has already been defeated and out of control!A few years ago, Sima Yi heard that Ma Su, who missed the street pavilion among the Shu bandits, was the contemporary "Zhao Kuo". After he came to Guanzhong, he carefully observed the actions of the so-called "No. In his words and actions, he understood what is called Ma Di's "excessive name".

Sima Yi slowly brought his thoughts back to reality. Seeing the eager expressions of Fei Yao, Jia Si, Guo Huai and other generals under the tent, he couldn't help but look serious, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, gentlemen, we are in this tent." Wait for a while, and wait for the battle report ahead. This commander has said beforehand, if General Dai wins this battle, I will immediately let you go to the battlefield to show your power, and will never be restrained; if General Dai loses, please ask everyone In the future, everyone will strictly abide by the order of the Commander, and those who make unreasonable comments about going to war will act according to military law!" When the generals in the tent heard this, they all looked at each other, and they all prayed to God and Buddha in their hearts, looking forward to Dai Ling's triumphant return.

About three hours later, when the last rays of the setting sun in the sky poured into the tents and climbed up the toes of each general's shoes, a burst of chaotic noise broke the tranquility of the evening.The moment he heard the noise, Sima Yi suddenly stood up from the tiger leather chair, his face immediately became tense, his eyes were fixed on the outside of the tent, but he remained silent.

The noise was getting closer and closer, but it stopped outside the tent of the Chinese army.After a while, there was a "crash", and I saw Zhang Xi holding a long sword with blood dripping on the blade, lifted the curtain, and walked in exhaustedly, with a disgraced face and a very ugly expression. .

Immediately, all Wei generals were stunned like wooden men!The tent immediately fell into deathly silence!

After a long time, Sima Yi asked in a trembling voice: "What's the result of the battle? Tell me!" Zhang He licked his chapped lips, and said in a muttered voice: "The Shu bandits dispatched 2 horses together with the three generals Wei Yan, Jiang Wei, and Wang Ping The siege came... General Dai fought desperately, was seriously injured, and was... taken to the rear camp to heal his injuries... We lost more than 300 cavalry horses and more than [-] soldiers... However, the Shu bandits probably also fought with me The casualties of the army are about the same..."

Listening to Zhang Yun's intermittent report on the battle situation, Sima Yi just kept his face sullen and said nothing, his thick eyebrows gradually knit into a ball.It seems that he had guessed right beforehand that the Shu army really adopted a "both-lose" war of attrition in an attempt to damage its own vitality under the situation that the two sides' vital forces were not equal.He stood there without speaking for a long time, his face became extremely complicated.Sima Shi, who was standing beside him, saw his father's expression, knew that his heart was overwhelmed, so he could only watch silently from the sidelines, not daring to intervene to persuade him.

After a long while, Sima Yi waved his hand and ordered: "Come here, help General Zhang go down to rest." Two soldiers from outside the tent entered in response to the sound, and retreated out with the help of Zhang He, whose face was covered in blood.

As soon as Zhang Yun left the camp, Sima Yi's face darkened, and he uttered a sentence from between his teeth: "Masters, please remember to be patient and patient, to be cautious, to wait for opportunities, and to strike later. This is a good strategy for our Great Wei to subdue other soldiers without fighting! Dai Ling fought bravely, lost troops and lost generals, and made a lot of mistakes. Military law is engaged!"

Sima Yi's words were stern, and the generals could only nod their heads in agreement after hearing this, trembling and not daring to say more.Sima Yi also seemed a little tired, he slowly sat back on the tiger leather chair, and signaled for the generals to step down.

At this moment, a spy rushed into the camp out of breath and reported: "Zhuge Liang led 6 horses and went straight to Shangguiyuan an hour ago!"
