Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 20 Chencang Road

Hanzhong, outside Yangping Pass.

Zhuge Liang had just led the army to force Cao Zhen back, and was about to urge the army to enter the city, summing up the gains and losses of this battle... preparing for another Northern Expedition.

Suddenly, I saw Yang Yi, who joined the army, rushing quickly from the rear army. Before he arrived, he waved his arms and shouted loudly: "Prime Minister, Ma Su divided his troops into two groups and led 5000 people to attack Chencang!"

"what?!!"

Zhuge Liang exclaimed in surprise, his body froze, he tightly held the feather fan in his hand, and his heart was full of shocks.

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing's eyes widened, Jiang Wei's long sword fell to the ground, and the surrounding generals looked at each other in astonishment.

This news is indeed a bit too shocking.

Bang——

The long sword hit the ground, as if hitting everyone's hearts, with a click.

It was as if something had cracked.

Zhuge Liang came back to his senses, bent down slowly, picked up the long sword, handed it back to the stunned Jiang Wei, and said earnestly:

"As a general, don't be surprised at the moment, Bo Yue, you have a picture."

Jiang Wei quickly took the long sword and nodded with shame.

To be honest, he had just defected to the Shu Han, and he didn't know much about the style of Ma Di and the generals. He suddenly heard that Ma Di's army attacked Chencang thousands of miles away, and he was stunned by his arrogant aura.

And I also thought of Zhao Yungang playing with Cao Zhen's 10 people with [-] soldiers and horses, and Wei Yan's "Ziwu Valley Conspiracy" rejected by the prime minister, that is, the plan of [-] people to attack Chang'an.

Jiang Wei's blood boiled suddenly.

Although tens of thousands of people are coming.

A man should be like this!
All the generals in Shuzhong were so brave.

I, Jiang Boyue, am so lucky to be able to work with such generals!

Zhuge Liang knew what Jiang Wei was thinking when he saw Jiang Wei's expression. He didn't care to correct the latter's wrong "adventurist" thinking, so he quickly fetched the map of Chencang to check.

After seeing the surrounding terrain of Chencang and the deployment of the Wei army shown in the picture, his body flickered and he could hardly stand, he looked up to the sky and sighed:
"Ma Di is stupid! He has fallen into death without knowing it!"

"Chencang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the past, the Xiliang Army Kingdom, together with Han Sui, made a hard attack for more than 5000 days. Now how can its [-] people capture the city? If it does not attack for a while, wait until Cao Zhengui's soldiers arrive, Our army is dead without a place to die!"

Jiang Wei had already recovered from his astonishment, and said cautiously, "Prime Minister, I see that General Ma Su's troops are as stable as a rock, and he must be absolutely sure when he goes to Chencang."

Zhuge Liang was so angry that he trembled all over, shook his head and said: "Even if we are sure of capturing the city, it will be difficult to change the dead end. Chencang is a small city, and there will be no food left. There are only a thousand soldiers stationed permanently. How can the food and grass be enough for 5000 people? If the Wei army Surrounded on all sides, within half a month, our entire army will starve to death!"

Jiang Wei hurriedly took Zhuge Liang's arm, and analyzed: "Prime Minister, if General Ma Di successfully takes down Chen Cang and cuts off Cao Zhen's way back..."

After annihilating Cao Zhen's army, wouldn't there be a chance to escape from death!
Zhuge Liang looked dignified and waved his hands: "Although Qinling is dangerous, it is not a dead end. The northern section of Chencang Road is gentle and not difficult to climb. Ma Di's move may win a small victory, but it will not shake the foundation of the Wei army."

Then we can't just give up General Ma Su and the five thousand soldiers... Jiang Wei cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, the last general is not talented. I would like to lead my troops north immediately to attack Cao Zhen together with General Ma."

"Up to now, that's all there is to it." Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and turned his head to look at Yang Yi: "Quickly send an order to the three armies, immediately repair the Chencang plank road, and go north to pursue the Wei army!"

Yang Yi surrendered and took the lead.

After a while, the army turned around and marched north along Chencang Road.

As the army was moving, they suddenly saw a hunter jumping out of the mountain, and they fell down the hillside in a hurry. They were blocked by soldiers and could not approach, so they stretched their necks and shouted: "Prime Minister, General Ma Di has a letter!"

Jiang Wei ran over in a few steps, took the letter and forwarded it to Zhuge Liang.

The latter quickly took the letter and read it carefully.

Seeing the dog crawling characters on the letter, Zhuge Liang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that it was undoubtedly written by Ma Di himself, and also realized that Ma Di was in a good situation at the moment.

However, the anger still boiled in my heart, and I could hardly suppress it.

This Ma Su always makes amazing moves, which catch people off guard.

Looking at all the generals under his command, Wei Yan's pride did not dare to disobey his military orders.

This Ma Su, this Ma Su...

Why is it so different!

During the defense of Fanjieting, he was repeatedly told to set up camp and take charge, but he wanted to move the army up the mountain to show off his naive military theory.

At that time Zhuge Liang still felt that Ma Su was as stable as an old dog, but when he thought about it now, he was in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Zhang He is a martial artist, he doesn't know how to use tactics, and he divided his troops twice. When the front army reached Jieting, there were only 1 horses, and they could not go around Jieting to attack Wang Ping, Wei Yan, Gao Xiang and others behind.

Otherwise, even if Ma Di camps on the mountain, reserves enough water sources, and cuts down all the trees on the Nanshan Mountain to prevent fire, he will undoubtedly fail!
Zhang Xi can completely ignore Ma Su, just send troops to defend the gentle slope to the north, and then divide his troops to seize one of the three main roads behind, which can instantly break the situation.

Looking at the two victories in Jieting, it can only be said that Ma Di was lucky enough to meet Zhang Xi, a well-matched opponent.

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, Qianfanjieting had won, he could ignore Ma Su's responsibility for disobeying the military order.This time, if Ma Di can come back alive...

In any case, he must be punished for the crime of "acting without authorization, urging troops to take risks"!
After reading the letter, Zhuge Liang's anger subsided slightly, but the anger was still lingering in his chest, condensed and lingering.

Jiang Wei took the book and saw that there was only a short sentence in the letter:

"Su has seized Chencang, blocked Cao Zhen in Chencang Road, and waited for the prime minister to attack from front to back and wipe out his army."

After reading the letter, Jiang Wei fell silent.

This Ma Di, suddenly reckless and steady, is really a ruthless man who dares to "take the lead" in the charge.

……

On the other side, Chen Cang.

After all the arrangements were in place, Ma Di left Li Sheng to guard Chencang, and personally set up an ambush on the gourd valley.

This valley is located in the northern section of Chencang Road, about [-] miles away from Chencang City. It is a typical terrain with a gully sandwiched between two mountains. The valley is shaped like a gourd, with a slightly larger middle and narrow roads at both ends.

Ma Di ordered his soldiers to dig up the mountain and fill in the soil to block the exit at the northern end of the Calabash Valley, and prepared dry firewood and kerosene above the entrance of the valley, waiting for Cao Zhen's army to throw themselves into the net.

Although the plan was interlocking and quite perfect, Ma Di was very anxious and anxious.

I don't know if the strategy will work.

Because the Cao Zhen who is about to face is definitely not the headstrong, stupid and incompetent person described in the novel.

In history, the real Cao really had real skills.

In the original time and space, during Cao Zhen's lifetime, he defeated Zhuge Liang's first and second Northern Expeditions one after another, and initiated a war to attack Hanzhong, forcing Zhuge Liang to make the third Northern Expedition.

During this period.Externally, Cao Zhen repelled Zhuge Liang's offensive strongly; internally, he also strongly suppressed Sima Yi, and there is a proverb that "Cao Zhen will not die, but Sima will not come out".

During his lifetime, Zhuge Liang had difficulty making progress, and Sima Yi had no chance to display his talents at all.

During Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition.Wei Guo declared defeat at the beginning of the war, and the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding defected and surrendered to Shu.Under such an unfavorable situation, Cao Zhenbing fought against Zhuge Liang in two ways.On one side, general Zhang He sent troops to Jieting and won a big victory; on the other side, Cao Zhen personally led the army and led the main force to defeat Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi.Zhuge Liang was forced to retreat to Hanzhong.

This Northern Expedition ended with Cao Zhen's victory.

After the defeat, Zhuge Liang soon made a comeback and started the second Northern Expedition.But Cao Zhen predicted in advance that Zhuge Liang would march from Chencang, so he sent Hao Zhao and Wang Sheng to guard Chencang.

As expected, Zhuge Liang attacked Chencang with heavy troops, but due to Cao Zhen's preparations in advance, the Shu soldiers failed to capture Chencang City, and finally returned without success.

After two victories in the battle, Cao Zhen turned from defense to offense. In the eighth year of Jianxing (230), he divided his troops into three groups and took the initiative to attack Hanzhong. retire.

After this withdrawal, Cao Zhen died of serious illness not long after. Only then was Sima Yi able to leave the mountain and take over the military power of Wei.

It can be seen from this that Cao Zhen is definitely not an incompetent person, he is a rare pillar of the Wei State, but it is a pity that the father of the tiger gave birth to a dog son, and Cao Shuang lost the country that the Cao family worked hard for several generations, ruining the world. .

……

The news of Chencang's fall did not leak out, but Cao Zhen quickly noticed the abnormality.

The army marched outside Calabash Valley, Cao Zhen looked ahead, suddenly his expression changed, he raised his hand and shouted: "All the army stop!"

As the order "The whole army stops..." spread one after another, the army slowly stopped at the entrance of the valley.

Cao Shuang rode his horse from the rear to the front, wondering, "Father, why didn't you stop?"

Cao Zhen pondered for a while, then took a breath, "Not good, there is a change in Chen Cang, there may be an ambush ahead!"

"Changes in Chencang? Was there an ambush before?" Cao Shuang murmured again, as if he had been poured cold water on his head, flustered.

The whole person was frightened and foolish.

Even with [-] soldiers and horses by his side, it still couldn't give him the slightest sense of security.
