Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 776 Confrontation
"Zhou Cang is so ostentatious, does he have other plans?" Zhong Yu felt that there was something tricky about it.

Cao Cao's five brains, Xun Yu and Xun You were depressed because of their deaths, and their descendants knew that being with a king is like a tiger, so they chose to keep a low profile as an official; Cheng Wu has a strategy, is good at debating, and has a heart to avenge his father. He has made many achievements under Cao Zhen.Guo Jia is a genius, and his son Guo Yi may be far from Guo Jia because of Guo Jia's excessive drinking, so he can only do his job well.Only Zhong Yu's son, Zhong Yu, is quite like his father and is praised by others, but Zhong Yu claims that his seven-year-old brother Zhong Hui is ten times as good as himself.

"Su asked Zhou Weiguo to use his troops falsely and in fact. In the first battle of Yanzhou, General Zixiao moved back and forth. He occupied not many counties and counties, but he harmed a lot of my soldiers." Master Sima was thoughtful. "Could it be that he wants to repeat the old trick again?"

Sima Yi frowned and remained silent.

Sima Zhao couldn't hold back: "In my opinion, he is very likely to be Duoshouchun."

"No." Master Sima shook his head. "I also heard that Zhou Weiguo is good at trickery. The city of Shouchun is strong and vast, and Guo Huai has a strategy. He will not attack Shouchun by force. In my opinion, he is very likely to follow my method and counterattack Fuli in the opposite way. , and then went west to Feng County and surrounded me in Xiang County!"

Sima Shi believed that Zhou Cang would replicate Sima Yi's strategy and carry out an anti-encirclement of Xiang County.Zhong Yu, Sima Zhao, and Guo Yi nodded repeatedly. This was in line with Zhou Cang's personality, and it was very feasible. They all looked at Sima Yi.No one proposed to send reinforcements for Niu Jin. Perhaps in their hearts, Niu Jin was hopeless. I don't know how Niu Jinquan felt.

"Zi Yuan and I think of one place." Sima Yi thought for a while, maybe this is Zhou Cang's most likely strategy, Fu Li is extremely empty right now. "Immediately order Lu Qian to lead the army to Fuli, and Ziyuan, you will take another 5000 people to garrison, and strictly guard against it and do not fight with it."

Sima Zhao didn't take it seriously, "Since we have seen through Zhou Cang's plan, why not use the plan and let him enter Fuli to lure him deep, and then cut his way back and set him up to destroy him!"

"Absurd!" Sima Yi reprimanded, "Zhou Cang has thousands of cavalry under his command. Wouldn't it be dangerous to let them go deep? The way to use soldiers should be prudence, opportunism will only lead to bad things. Moreover, Zhou Cang is old in military affairs, and he is not a reckless person." , not to be taken lightly.”

Sima Yi decided to switch to an all-round defense, to respond to all changes without change. Since Zhou Cang came to Yuzhou, it is impossible for Cao Ren not to know that as long as he defends successfully and Cao Ren attacks Jibei again, Zhou Cang will retreat, and the opportunity will come. "Order Guo Huai not to go out lightly, and beware of the Han army's sneak attack."

The next few days were quiet.The Wei army confronted the Han army, and no one took the initiative to attack.Sima Yi became more and more convinced that Zhou Cang wanted to attack Fu Li, but he was still very relieved of Lu Qian and Sima Shi, and it would not be a problem to defend Fu Li.There has been no news of Niu Jin, and it is estimated that he is doomed, but it is a pity that he is a brave general.

Half a month later, Sima Shi sent someone to report that Fu Li had not found the Han army, and Guo Huai also reported that Shouchun had not been attacked.The quieter he was, the more uneasy Sima Yi felt. This is impossible.

On the sixth day of the seventh month, Cao Ren sent people to Xiang County.Sima Yi was overjoyed, it must have been Cao Ren's actions in Dongping, but the result made him break out in a cold sweat.

Yu Jin sent troops to attack Peijun on June 2000. The prefect Xia Houru urgently asked Cao Ren for help, and asked the neighboring Shanyang prefect Wuqiu Jian to send reinforcements. Pei Feng was sent to set up an ambush on the way, and Guanqiu Jian's local army was no match for the Han cavalry who was armed to the teeth. Three thousand light cavalry rushed to kill, and the Wei army was defeated. Guanqiu Jian fled back to Shanyang with only [-] people.

The siege of the city was successful, and Yujin stormed Peijun. Xia Houru had to flee west to Liangjun, and took refuge in his clan brother Xiahouran, and occupied Peijun in Yujin.

Not long after Zhou Cang left Jibei, Cao Ren learned that Xu Huang had assembled in Ji County and Chaoge area, and seemed to be crossing Yanjin to attack Dongjun, and Xu Shu was in Jinbei, so Cao Ren dared not move lightly.Knowing that Yu Jin was attacking Pei County, he had to send Li Dian to the south with 5000 people to reinforce him. When Li Dian arrived in Shanyang, he met Guanqiu Jian who was defeated. He learned that Pei County had been lost and Shanyang was empty, so Li Dian had to stay at Shanyang. Positive.

After losing Peijun, Cao Ren was furious and vented his anger on Sima Yi. You went to Yuzhou to fight Yujin, how could you let Yujin attack Peijun? What are you doing in Xiangxian County?
Facing Cao Ren's accusation, Sima Yi could not tell. Who would have thought that Zhou Cang would attack Yanzhou again with a false shot.

Sima Zhao was very angry. Although I confronted Yu Jin, my jurisdiction is in Yuzhou. Peijun belongs to Yanzhou, and it is under your jurisdiction Cao Ren. You lost Peijun yourself. Why blame me?Anger is anger, Cao Ren is a great general, and he is the uncle of the emperor, so he has no place to reason.Sima Zhao became more and more dissatisfied with the Cao family, so he just carefully hid it.

Sima Yi didn't worry about how Cao Ren would blame him, or he didn't care about it. He was most worried that the Han army would continue to advance westward into Liang County and then southward to directly attack Qiao County or Feng County. .

The weakest intermediate link was seized by Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang's crescent-shaped offensive has been transformed into a trident!With thousands of Qingqi around, Sima Yi had reason to believe that Zhou Cang's middle road was capable of advancing to achieve an outflank, and because Zhou Cang personally sat in Xiao County, his target was obviously not Cao Ren, but himself.The problem is that there is an emptiness behind you.

Cao Ren was worried that Zhou Cang would encircle Dongjun from the south, so he ordered Xiahouru and Xiahouran to stand firm in Xiayi and Dangshan, but Sima Yi needed to find a way for Sima Yi's northern barrier in Dangxian County.Sima Yi hated it, hated how few soldiers he had, Ruo Niujin's [-] soldiers and horses were so stretched; hated Zhou Cang who bullied others by relying on his sufficient horses; hated why it was dry and there was no rain in summer, and God was also making things difficult for him.

"Father, I would like to lead a sentry team to Dang County." Sima Zhao asked Ying.

"You are still young, you are not Zhou Cang's opponent." Sima Yi waved his hand, how dare he divide his troops and send Sima Zhao to meet the enemy. "Immediately send people to Fuli, and order Ziyuan to lead his troops to Dang County."

In Peijun, the dark clouds hovering over Yujin's face finally dissipated, but it was a pity that Xiahouru escaped.After sending people to collect the surrendered soldiers and appease the people, Chen still took out a kit from his bosom.

"Captain, the Duke ordered me to dismantle it together after we seized Pei County."

"Ling, Chen is still the prefect of Peijun, under the control of Wu Gang, the governor of Yanzhou." Yu Jin said softly, but he wondered in his heart, could Wu Gang of Lu County also participate in the war?By looking down. "Chen still leads the army to Zhuqiu County, and wanders between Xiayi and Dangxian County to pretend to attack Liang County. Don't advance lightly. If the enemy comes to meet you, retreat to Zhuqiu."
