Chapter 174 Big Boss Sima Yi

——

After Zhuge Liang retreated from Wuzhangyuan, Soochow, which didn't take much advantage, also retreated from the three fronts one after another; Ke Bineng in Monan was busy cleaning up the mess on the grassland, and went south for the time being.

The world once again entered a short period of peace.

The forces of all parties are brewing the next big move.

Wei Emperor Cao Rui is readjusting the deployment of troops on the east and west fronts; Wu Emperor Sun Quan is re-examining the strength of the Shu Han and adjusting Wu's foreign strategy.

As for Liu Chan... Zhuge Liang is actively preparing for the next Northern Expedition.

The haze of war has not completely dissipated.

After Zhuge Liang withdrew his troops, Sima Yi led the crowd to Wuzhangyuan to inspect the camps left by the Shu army. Although he didn't quite understand the subtle layout of the Shu army camps, he was greatly shocked and lamented that Zhuge Liang was really a genius in the world.

After praising his opponent, Sima Yi smiled slightly and dispatched a thousand soldiers to stay at Wuzhangyuan to prevent Xiegu from exiting.

So far, Wei Guo has almost prepared for all the roads in Guanzhong where the Shu Han sent troops from Hanzhong.

This means that there are not many routes that the Shu Han can choose for the next Northern Expedition.

Therefore, after the war ended, Sima Yi immediately went to Cao Rui to ask for a large increase in troops in Longyou and Xiliang to prevent the next possible attack of the Shu Han.

As for the coach guarding Yongliang, Sima Yi did not specify in the memorial.

But everyone knows that no one can stop Zhuge Liang except him.

Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Ma Di naturally knew the strategic situation between Shu and Wei.

As mentioned earlier, the Shu Han originally had five routes from Hanzhong to the Northern Expedition.

The first one, Qishan Road, has a flat terrain and flows upstream along the Western Han River. It is suitable for large corps to dispatch, and is convenient for transporting food and grass. The disadvantage is that the detour is a bit long.

The second road is Chencang Road. This road is also a big road, easy to use soldiers, but there are river valleys and forests on both sides, so it is easy to be ambushed. .

The third one is Baoxie Road. This road is rough and difficult to walk. It was certified by Li Bai, the great V of the Tang Dynasty. His poem "The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky" refers to this road.Although this road has been repaired by Ma Wen, the nature of the difficulty has not changed.

The fourth road, Luogu Road, is the shortest and most dangerous road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong in the north.

Fifth, Ziwu Road, among the roads in the Qinling Mountains, this is the steepest and most unpopular road. The "Ziwu Valley Mystery" proposed by Wei Yan refers to this road.Last month, Cao Shuang led [-] troops in an attempt to conquer Shu from then on, but was trapped in the valley by heavy rain for more than a month, and finally retreated in embarrassment.

Among these five roads, Qishan Road, Chencang Road, and Xiegu Road Zhuge Liang had all traveled, so the Wei army was prepared.

And because both Wei Yan and Ma Di had threatened to take the Meridian Road to attack Chang'an, the State of Wei also built a pass at the northern end of the Meridian Valley and stationed troops all year round.

Only the most precipitous Luogu Road remained, and Wei Guo had not garrisoned it for the time being.

With Zhuge Liang's prudence, even if the Northern Expedition had nowhere to go, he would not choose Luogu Road.

In this way, the Northern Expedition only left Qishan one way.

Fortunately, the Shu Han now controls Xiqiang, and there is another way.

Therefore, it can be predicted that if the Shu Han made another northern expedition, they would either go out of Qishan, or roar down from the Qiang plateau, and head to Liangzhou.

This is also the difficulty of Ma Di's attack on Liangzhou's copy and the reality of Liangzhou's attack on Liangzhou. Face Sima Yi directly!
To be honest, Zhuge Liang felt a little regretful about his retreat from Wuzhangyuan this time.

But if it continues to consume, it will become a war of attrition in which Shu and Wei compete for national strength, which is a bit disadvantageous for Shu Han, whose economic foundation is not very solid.

In addition, this war was originally launched in response to Sima Yi's march into Longyou, and it was essentially unsustainable.

For the Shu Han, the most urgent task is to develop national strength, not war.

So retreat is inevitable.

It's just that Li Yan advanced the result.

So he was beaten to the end by Zhuge Liang.

Now that the situation between Shu and Wei has returned to the original point, Ma Di will personally challenge Sima Yi, the ultimate boss, no matter if he attacks Longyou or Liangzhou.

Whether it's okay or not, you'll know after calling.

Burned Dangqiang, Yongzhou Governor's Mansion.

The light screen flickered in front of Ma Su.

His eyes flicked over the "Eagle Yang Western Regions" of the difficulty level C, and stayed on the "Xiong Xiliang" of the difficulty level B. As for the difficulty level "Hu Julong You", he didn't even look at it.

Now is not the time to attack this difficult dungeon.

The dungeon of "Xiongba Xiliang" has three sub-maps, namely "Jin Xiwu", "Zhang Jiudun" and "Shuangxi".

As the name suggests, "Jinxiwu" refers to the three counties of Jincheng, Xiping and Wuwei in the east of Liangzhou;
"Zhang Jiudun" refers to the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang in the west of Liangzhou;
"Shuangxi" refers to Xijun and Xihai counties in the north of Liangzhou.

Because the five counties to the west of Liangzhou are desolate, the local forces are mixed, and the population is small, so the main force and control of the Wei army are concentrated in the three east counties of Liangzhou.

Xu Miao, governor of Liangzhou, led [-] soldiers and horses to Wuwei, Guo Huai, the captain of the guard Qiang, led [-] soldiers and horses to Jincheng, and the later general Fei Yao led [-] soldiers and horses to Xiping.

Seeing that the two dungeons of "Zhang Jiudun" and "Shuangxi" do not have the Wei army stationed there, the difficulty is still the same as that of "Jin Xiwu", both of which are B-level.

Ma Di was slightly taken aback, but immediately felt relieved.

The West Five Counties of Liangzhou could not even fully control the mighty Wei State, indicating that there must be forces that are difficult to deal with.

this difficulty.

Approval!

The Qiang people in Liangzhou are really fierce.

Although later generations attribute the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Yellow Turban Uprising, this is only a superficial cause.In Ma Di's view, the Qiang-Han War that spanned nearly a hundred years since Emperor Han'an was the real internal cause that seriously dragged down the Eastern Han Empire's economy.

In other words, the Eastern Han Empire was first dragged down by the century-old Qiang-Han War, and then the people were in dire straits, and the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out.

The cause of the Hundred Years' War is simple.

In the first year of Emperor Yongchu of Han'an (107 A.D.), the imperial court formally issued an edict to abolish the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and recalled Duan Xi, the Protector of the Western Regions, Liang Yi, the Vice Captain, Zhao Bo, the Captain of the Cavalry, and the settlements stationed in Yiwulu and Liuzhong. corps.Qi Duwei Wang Hong was ordered to summon the Qiang people in Jincheng County, intending to organize an army to meet Duan Xi, Liang Yi and others who had returned from the Western Regions.

This seemingly very normal official behavior caused a rumor to spread like wildfire. The Qiang people rumored that the purpose of this trip was to station troops in the Western Regions and they would never return.Along the way, the Qiang people kept fleeing. Wang Hong adopted high-handed measures and brutally suppressed them, which finally made the situation deteriorate rapidly.

The rebellion of the Qiang people was like a domino chain effect, one tribe rebelled after another.Lejie Qiang and Dangjian Qiang defected and escaped from the fortress; Shao Dang Qiang fled Jincheng County;

The Qiang rebellion involved a very wide area, including Zhangye and Wuwei in the Hexi Corridor, as well as Jincheng, Hanyang, and Longxi counties, and the road to the Central Plains was cut off.

After the war stabilized, the Eastern Han Dynasty asked the Qiang people in Liangzhou to move to the Central Plains.In order to divide and disintegrate the forces of the various tribes of the Qiang people, the Eastern Han court built more than 600 new cities in the Kanto area as the new homes of the Qiang people, and forced the Qiang people to move eastward to live in the Central Plains by cutting crops and burning houses.

But moving is not easy. No matter how the Eastern Han court built houses and cities, the Qiang people just refused to move.

Therefore, the war lasted for nearly a hundred years. It was not until the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty that the Xiliang area was gradually pacified by Cao Wei.

And this century-long war brought an unbearable economic crisis to the Eastern Han court.

During the reign of Emperor Han'an alone, the imperial court spent as much as 240 billion yuan to build new cities and homes for the Qiang people, and the subsequent expenses were even more astronomical and impossible to calculate.

In later generations, many people thought that the Qiang people were a small tribe with few people.But in fact, the Eastern Han court forced the Qiang people to relocate inland even at the expense of launching a war, because there were... too many Qiang people.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people living in Liangzhou were not much different from the Han people. They also grew crops and ate food, and they were not nomadic.

The nomadic Qiang people mainly lived on the Qinghai Plateau, and it was these crop-growing and extremely large Qiang people that the Eastern Han court wanted to relocate.

After the Xiongnu were wiped out in the Western Han Dynasty, all Xiqiang people had no natural enemies, and the population quickly woke up and exploded.

With a large population and daily fighting exercises, the Qiang women in Liangzhou can kill the enemy with a halberd, let alone men.Zheng Tai, the imperial censor during the period of Emperor Lingdi Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, once said that there are three kinds of elite soldiers in the world: Bingliang Xiongnu, Huangzhong Yicong, and eight kinds of Xiqiang.

The eight types of Western Qiang refer to the Qiang people who live on the Qinghai Plateau and maintain nomadic customs, not to mention their combat effectiveness;
Bingliang Xiongnu refers to the Huns in Bingzhou and Liangzhou;
Huangzhong Yicong refers to the Da Yuezhi who lived around Jincheng County.There is a river in Jincheng County called Huangshui, so the soldiers of the Dayue clan are also called Huangzhong Yicong.

Most of these three kinds of elite soldiers came from Liangzhou, which is why Dong Zhuo brought only 3000 troops when he came to Beijing, which made everyone dare not speak out.

Although there are few soldiers in Liangzhou, they are very capable of fighting.

In the 20th year of Jian'an (215 years), Cao Cao pacified Ma Chao, Han Sui, and Song Jian, and the century-old Qiang-Han War came to an end.

Frightened by Cao Cao's army, the Qiang people fled to the plateau or moved westward one after another. The Qiang people who did not migrate all ostensibly surrendered to Cao Wei and were arranged to settle in the three eastern counties of Liangzhou.

The main population of the three east counties of Liangzhou, that is, the three counties of "Jinxiwu" are the Qiang, Di and Han people who are obedient and not troublesome; the west five counties are all the Qiang people who are more irritable and not too obedient to the king. .

But they did not dare to confront Wei Guo on the surface.

This is the current situation in the eight counties of Liangzhou.

The difficulty is self-evident.

After analyzing the three subordinate copies of "Xiong Ba Xiliang", Ma Di's thinking quickly diverged.

Which one should we tackle first?

It is roughly the same as the previous raid on the Xiqiang dungeon. The two sub-maps under the "Xiong Xiliang" dungeon are to take him into the world of the Qiang people entrenched in the five west counties of Liangzhou, learn everything there, and then prepare for the next Conquest lays the foundation; and the "Jinxiwu" sub-map is to fight wits and courage with the three generals of Liangzhou in Wei State...

Perhaps Sima Yi and You Chu, the prefect of Longxi, have to be added.

Although Zhang He died, the situation of one against five remained unchanged.

Ma Su nodded slightly.

I was taken aback.

Looking at the three sub-duplicates, he hesitated for a while.

Which one should we favor first?

Among these three dungeons, the most difficult dungeon seems to be the "Jin Xiwu" dungeon, because Sima Yi commanded tens of thousands of troops stationed in Tianshui County. Once there is a war in the three east counties of Liangzhou, he can use the fastest speed to go to the dungeon at any time. rush to the rescue.

So according to the strategy of first easy and then difficult, the dungeon with the highest priority is of course...

Ma Di poked his finger on the "Jin Xiwu" sub-map.

On the damn bird's nest, immortality for thousands of years.

Sima Yi, come to fight!

[Whether to spend 100 points to enter the copy. 】

"Spend, enter!"

[Do you want to spend 100 points to understand the customs clearance rules of this copy? 】

"No cost!"

Do you still need to know this rule?
Isn't it just clearance by force?

I understand so well!

Ma Di wisely saved this unnecessary expense.

[Reminder, this dungeon is B-level difficulty, you can choose three entourages. 】

[Please choose the accompanying personnel, one, the default personnel of the system; two, self-selection (optional personnel need to pay an additional 300 stability points). 】

"..."

"Choose one!" Ma Di answered simply.

The stability of the landlord's house is not brought by the strong wind. It is 300 points that can save 300 points.

[Fantasy experience, hell test wow~ hahaha! 】,
"Trial from hell..."

"Don't be so scary at the opening voice..." Ma Su's heart skipped a beat.

A little flustered.

What kind of person is Sima Yi, whether he is ruthless or not.

He knows it all too well.

Strictly speaking, this will be the first time he faces Sima Yi alone.

Without Zhuge Liang attracting firepower in the front, and without IQ and talent suppression, everyone depends on their own abilities.

Live and die.

Fortunately, this is just an experience scene.

Even if you lose, you still have a chance to come back.

So hang on, we can win!
Ma Su took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

The light alternates between dark and light, and the scene switches quickly.

"General (You Chang), Wuwei City has arrived!"

Before I opened my eyes, the voices of two men and a woman rang in my ears.

As soon as they heard the voices, they knew it was Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and Axiu.

It is also the strongest four-row lineup currently available!
Ma Su made up his mind, opened his eyes and looked around, and saw that he was riding his horse standing under the city of Wuwei, followed by Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Axiu, each riding a fine horse.

The city gates were closed.

On the city tower, thousands of Wei soldiers stood ready with bows and arrows.

The sun shone on the body of an old general with a silver helmet and silver armor. Half of the old general's body protruded from the city wall, and the phosphorescence shone and dazzled.

It's Xu Miao!
At this moment, he was staring at Ma Di with his eyes wide open, and laughed loudly:

"If you step through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it."

"Well, you Ma Di, you dare to throw yourself into the trap."

Xu Miao raised his arm, and his voice was full of pride:

"Let... the arrow!"

Shhhhhh-

Shhhhhh-

"Slow! Wait!" Ma Di hastily waved his long sword to block for a while, waited for a round of arrow rain to pass, looked up at the top of the city, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Gong, you and I have no blood feud, no selfish grievances, why do we meet each other in arms? ?”

Xu Miao snorted coldly and raised his hand again.

Wei Bing's bowstring was full again.

"To be honest, I'm here to discuss important matters with Mr. Xu, which concerns the safety of your family and your family." Ma Di said calmly.

"Your Excellency, please go out of the city for a while."

Although he was under the point of Qianjian, he was actually not panicked at all.

A force value of 90 + wearing "impenetrable" silkworm plate armor is enough to ensure that he is safe and sound.

"Going out of town for a talk?"

"What can the old man tell you?!"

Xu Miao was taken aback, but he didn't ask people to shoot arrows anymore, he stared at the group of four under the city with hesitation.

Is it about the safety of the whole family?

The old man and his family are in Luoyang at the moment, what is the danger?
Could this person be fooling the old man?

Do you want to go out of town?

Xu Miao was in a dilemma.
