The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1001
Of course, Liu Yin's goal is not just to eat Wenyang. After cleaning the periphery of Huguan, as long as Liu Yin is willing, taking Huguan City is just a matter of playing the command room.

But obviously Liu Yin did not do that. He was playing a big game of chess. Shangdang is a good place, surrounded by mountains and dangerous terrain. 40 Zhao soldiers were killed here, and it is nothing to eliminate a Wenyang. Liu Yin has a greater appetite. If he can defeat the main force of the Jin army in Shangdang, then the entire battle north of the Yellow River can be done. It's over.

Therefore, the Shu army adopted a strategy of encircling Huguan City without fighting, and this kind of encirclement was not impenetrable. The encirclement circle of the Shu army was very loose, and the envoys sent by Wenyang could easily break through Line of defense, go to Yecheng to ask Sima Jun for help.

Ever since Anguo suffered a defeat, Sima Jun felt that everything was not going his way, so he sent Wenyang to fight in Pingyang to cut off the Shu army's logistics supply line, but in the end he was beaten to shame in the battle of Gaoliangyi, and attacked Hebei. Ma Long's army didn't make any progress at all. They fought several battles in a row.

At this moment, the messenger sent by Wenyang arrived in Yecheng and handed over the urgent document to Sima Jun.

"Trash, it's fine if you can't beat Pingyang, and now you can't even defend Shangdang. I really don't know what this Wenyang is doing for a living?" How embarrassing.

The messenger said bravely, "Your Majesty, the people of Shu are now besieging Huguan, and General Wen's troops are in danger. Please, Your Majesty, march as soon as possible to relieve the urgent need."

Sima Jun waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Understood, you step back first, this king has his own calculations."

Although the messenger was worried about the matter of Huguan, he couldn't say anything more in front of Sima Jun, so he bowed and bowed before retreating.

Sima Jun snorted heavily, and said to Xie Xie beside him: "At the beginning when His Majesty started using Wen Yang, it was because he believed Yang Hu's words that Wen Yang is a rare general in this world. Blessing. How good it is now, not to mention the loss of the city and land, the loss of the teacher and the humiliation of the country, and the king has to send troops to rescue him, such a good general is really 'rare to come'!"

"Then the king wants to send troops to rescue him?" Xie Xi asked.

Sima Jun looked helpless, and said: "Speaking of which, Wen Yang has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so they can't be buried in Shangdang, right? What's more, Shangdang is already our last place in Bingzhou If you can't keep it, the whole Bingzhou will be lost, and your Majesty will not be able to explain it."

Xie Xie said: "My lord, don't you think this matter is a bit strange?"

Sima Jun was stunned for a moment, and said: "What do you mean? Could it be that you suspect that Wen Yang deceived me?"

"The final general dares to doubt the loyalty of Deputy Governor Wen without evidence. But has the king ever thought that the enemy chief Liu Yin is cunning and cunning by nature, and the king has no doubts about Liu Yin's conspiracy here?"

When Sima Jun heard this, his heart skipped a beat. To be honest, the psychological shadow Liu Yin brought to him was too great. Pujin Pass counted it once, and Anguo counted it once. These two failures made Sima Jun unforgettable. .And these two defeats were all due to Liu Yin's calculations. Liu Yin was as cunning as a fox and full of tricks, which always made Sima Jun hard to guard against. Treat with caution.

"You mean... Maybe this is Liu Yin's trap?"

"Is it Liu Yin's trap? The general dare not say for sure, but the general believes that after the Battle of Pingyang, Vice Governor Wen retreated to the Shangdang, leaving only [-] to [-] troops, and Liu Yin's army was several times that of him. With the power of Pingyang's great victory and the power of firearms in hand, if the Shu army attacked by force, Huguan City would definitely not be able to defend it. But judging from the current situation, Liu Yin has not marched for a long time, and has no plan to attack Huguan , this has to make people suspect that Huguan is a lure, and Liu Yin is using Huguan to lure the king to send troops to rescue him, so as to attack him halfway."

"Siege the city and fight for aid?" Sima Jun nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Well, this is also Liu Yin's usual trick, General Xie, you reminded me very well, it seems that this king really needs to think carefully, don't fall for it. It's Liu Yin's treachery."

Xie Xie said: "The last general is just discussing the matter according to the facts. Liu Yin is full of tricks and uses military examples to be different from ordinary people. The last general also hopes that he will not repeat the mistakes of rejuvenating the country."

Sima Jun chuckled and said: "What General Xie said is very true. When dealing with Liu Yin, we must not use common sense. We must always be on guard and be careful so that we don't get caught. There are many mountains in Shangdang and the terrain is complicated. If Liu Yin really has If we lay an ambush, our army may suffer a big loss. However, if we don’t send troops, Wen Yang may not be able to hold on for a few days. Wen Yang’s life and death are small, and this battle involves 3 or [-] Jin troops. How can we not save him? ?”

Xie Xie said: "An isolated city cannot be guarded for a long time. Your Majesty can order Vice Governor Wen to lead an army to break through. If he can escape from the Shangdang territory, your Majesty can also send troops to meet him. If he does not have this ability, then he will ask for blessings." Bar."

Sima Jun frowned slightly, and said: "Shu people have several times more troops than Wenyang. If he really leads the crowd to break through, I think he will be in danger."

Xie Xi smiled strangely and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget that Wen Yang was the one who killed Emperor Jing. In order to appease the rebels, Emperor Wen had to order him to be pardoned. For more than ten years, Wen Yang has been lingering in Luoyang. Being reused, it can be seen that Emperor Wen and His Majesty still have a grudge against him. This time it was used for him, but he hoped to do his best for the court. Now it seems that Wen Yang is just an exaggeration and cannot be used. If the king I believe His Majesty will readily agree to get rid of him with the help of the Shu people."

As the enemy of the Sima family, Wenyang, of course Sima Jun disliked him a long time ago, but now that the court is employing people, Sima Jun can't do anything with him. Now is undoubtedly a good opportunity, as long as no reinforcements are sent , Wenyang must not be able to resist the attack of the Shu people, and he will undoubtedly die.

Of course, this is in line with Sima Jun's psychology, not to mention that this time Wen Yang was calculated, and that is because he has troubles that he can't tell. If he borrows a knife to kill someone, Sima Jun doesn't need to do it himself, and he won't worry about the criticism of the world. Wen Yang Even if he died, no one would blame him, and the enmity of the Sima family would eventually come to an end.
