Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 512
From Zitong all the way to the south, in less than two days, Zhang Yi earned four or five city gates.A few defenders saw that Zhang Yi was feigning surrender, but they couldn't defend for half an hour, and they were basically taken down.From Zitong to Chengdu, it can be said that it is a flat river, and it can be reached in a few days.

Now in the city of Chengdu, Cao Pi had already led his troops to retreat, and when he learned that Cao Zhen was killed in battle, he already wanted to retreat.The Jin army moved southward too fast, and there was no time for Chengdu to fortify at all. Cao Pi knew that this place could not be guarded.And Cao Pi can be sure that his younger brother Cao Zhang should also be dead.

Xue Rengui's vanguard army crossed the entire Mianyang and arrived at a place less than a hundred miles away from Chengdu, ready to attack Chengdu at any time.It's just that the defender of Chengdu is Sima Yi, and Xue Rengui dare not be careless.

A person who makes His Royal Highness be vigilant is definitely not too simple.Xue Rengui is a calm person, so naturally he has to plan everything first.This time, even Han Wu didn't urge him, because Han Wu thought that even if he led his troops to face Sima Yi who was guarding Chengdu, he wouldn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

On the Chengdu city tower, Sima Yi squinted his eyes, and beside him was Cao Xiu, who led the troops and commanded the guarding army.Cao Xiu was also quite nervous. Although he had [-] elites in his hand, he was still nervous and timid.

The army of the Jin State is not a grassroots bandit. Although they divided their troops to guard Zitong, Yangping Pass and other places, and scattered nearly 4 elites, there are still [-] troops that can attack the city.The [-] elite Jin army is not the fighting power of [-], it is comparable to an army of [-]!
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, gradually revealing his hatred towards Han Wu, because it was Han Wu who killed his youngest son Sima Zhao.How could Sima Yi not hate that a child who couldn't even speak died in his infancy like this?

"Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and the others have all retreated?" Sima Yi showed a fierce expression. It's a troubled time, if they don't want to leave Chengdu, they can only show no mercy.

Cao Xiu nodded and replied: "Yuan Shao and Liu Biao have followed Zihuan to Wuling, but Liu Zhang is the only one who will not go. After all, Liu Zhang is from Sichuan and Shu. If he and Han Wuli should join forces... and Xun Yu did not leave, I am now It felt a little unsafe."

Liu Zhang did not leave with Cao Pi, which made Cao Xiu very uneasy.If he was afraid of the Jin army, he was just worried that the city would be conquered soon.If he ran for his life, Cao Xiu asked himself if he could survive.But if Liu Zhang and Han Wuli cooperate with each other, then there will be no chance for him to practice escape.

Sima Yi snorted coldly, showing a fierce look, and patted Cao Xiu on the shoulder: "General Cao, you and I are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and we will live and die together. Liu Zhang, since he won't leave, let's get rid of him! Now In this situation, there is no time to reason with Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang’s subordinates and party members will be produced together, but don’t touch Lord Xunling. Lord Xunling has always claimed to be a Han subject. He must know that it was Han Wu who assassinated Emperor Han. Lord Xunling will not take refuge in Han Wu, let alone betray us. If we move Mr. Xun Ling, we will really be inseparable from Chengdu."

Cao Xiu understood Sima Yi's meaning, nodded, and led the armored soldiers to Liu Zhang's mansion.

On this day, there was a bloody storm in the city of Chengdu, and all Liu Zhang's family members and subordinates were slaughtered, causing panic among the people in the city.

two days later
Xue Rengui's vanguard army arrived at the foot of the city of Chengdu. Seeing the tall city walls and strict defenses, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"No wonder, no wonder Your Highness is wary of Sima Yi. It's really not easy to arrange such rigorous fortifications at such a critical moment!" Xue Rengui frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.

The elite army of the Jin Kingdom itself suffered a lot of losses, and this time it will be difficult to attack Chengdu again.

"General, since a strong attack won't benefit you, why don't we wait a little longer. The Yongliang army will surely have reinforcements going south, and the city of Chengdu won't be able to escape."

Hearing the deputy general's proposal, Xue Rengui also thought it should be so.It's just that he doesn't know what His Highness the Crown Prince means.If His Royal Highness wants to attack Chengdu by force, and he orders Chengdu to besieged, that is disobedience.

"His Majesty's will! General Xue Rengui camped outside Chengdu and besieged the Qin army. Don't be careless. The three armies camped in the outskirts of Chengdu, waiting for reinforcements."

The messenger came in time, and this was exactly the general order Xue Rengui wanted to hear.

"Your Highness is Your Highness, and you really understand the hearts of the soldiers! Send me an order to retreat five miles and set up camp!" Xue Rengui was delighted. Now that he has set up camp, it is enough to deter the Qin army in Chengdu.

Above the city tower of Chengdu, seeing Xue Rengui's army retreating from a distance, Cao Xiu suddenly punched the city wall.

"Damn! It seems that the Jin army has plenty of food and grass, and they want to surround us!" Cao Xiu was a little nervous. Once the encirclement was formed, it would be too difficult to break through.

Sima Yi showed a gratified smile, but at the same time admired him a lot.Han Wu is really impeccable for being able to use his troops calmly in the face of the temptation of the capital of Qin.

"General Cao Xiu, Jin's retreat to set up camp is not good for the two of us, but it is beneficial to His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness should have left the area under the jurisdiction of Chengdu, and he should be able to arrive in Wuling within [-] days. Within a month, His Highness must be We will be able to enter Hanzhong and meet up with the King. Our goal has been achieved, so what if we die here?" Sima Yi showed a faint smile.Try Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu's current state of fear made Sima Yi very distrustful. If Cao Xiu decided to surrender, then Qin would really be over.

With the strength of the Jin State, the cavalry is enough to catch up with Cao Pi within three days.Once Cao Xiu surrendered, the family members of the core ministers and soldiers of the Qin State would be controlled, and the entire Qin State would be in chaos.

"You're right! Let's die or die, just keep Zihuan!" Cao Xiu said something insincere, but he gritted his teeth and expressed his opinion.

At night, in the camp of the Jin State outside Chengdu, Han Wu discussed countermeasures on how to quickly bring down Chengdu.

"Generals, this palace does not lie to everyone. Now our army still has one month's food and grass. If we can't conquer Chengdu within one month, we can only retreat to Zitong." Han Wujing sat on the position of the chief general and told all the soldiers.

Xue Rengui quickly stood up and suggested, "Your Highness, the last general thinks that Chengdu can be taken in half a month."

Hearing that Xue Rengui seemed to have a plan, Han Wu sat up straight and looked at him curiously.

"Your Highness, the defenders of Chengdu are Sima Yi and Cao Xiu. If the two are of one mind, they will definitely not be able to conquer Chengdu within a month. If the two are separated from each other, Chengdu is just a paper tiger. Divorce, separate Cao Xiu and Sima Yi; persuade to surrender led by Xun Yu Hanchen. In this way, whether it is Cao Xiu, Sima Yi or Hanchen, they will inevitably have a rift. If there is a gap, there will be an opportunity!" Xue Rengui suggested.

Hearing Xue Rengui's suggestion, Han Wu agreed that this strategy was more like Guo Jia's strategy style.
