Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 217 Sneak Attack, Sneak Attack, Sneak Attack Again!

After that, Zhuge Liang launched several more Northern Expeditions, either passively or actively. He tried the routes of Qishan, Chencang Road, and Xiegu, and finally found that these routes were not convenient for launching an offensive from Liangzhou.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang moved to Liangzhou to prepare for the Eastern Expedition; while Ma Su happily came to Xixian County, commanding [-] infantry, to gnaw at the hard bone of Guanzhong.

Since Zhao Yun, the leader of the [-] Qiang Cavalry, remained in Liangzhou to preside over the overall situation, the impact of the change of coaches was minimized.

Otherwise, Zhuge Liang's operation would be too contrary to military common sense, and it would be a problem whether the [-] Qiang cavalry could move according to the order.

However, in a fight with an opponent like Sima Yi, exposing any weakness is very dangerous.

Considering that Zhuge Liang's strengths lie in governing the army rather than conspiracies, Ma Di took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Xixian County to respond to the Longyou battlefield by attacking Guanzhong.

Before he arrived in Xi County, Ma Di spread the news that he planned to go out of Ziwu Valley to attack Chang'an.

When the news reached Chang'an, Cao Shuang, who was sitting here, was shocked.

After experiencing many wars against Shu, Cao Shuang has realized that he is extremely lacking in military affairs, and he is definitely not an opponent of Ma Su, who is as cunning as a fox.

So when Cao Rui was called back, he left the front line of Longyou in a hurry and returned to the rear of Chang'an.

But Ma Su followed like his old enemy.

Cao Shuang had no choice but to send the information to Luoyang, the capital.

Cao Rui soon arrived in Chang'an to preside over the overall situation.

When the monarch and ministers meet, the first thing to do is to analyze which corner Ma Di will come from.

Because Ma Di played the "wolf is coming" trick once before, the pressure on the two monarchs and ministers is very high now.

Last time, Ma Di also threatened that "[-] soldiers and horses will come out of the Ziwu Valley to attack Chang'an", which made the whole country of Wei feel like an enemy. As a result, [-] Wei troops lay in ambush in the deep mountains and old forests of Ziwu Valley for more than a month without even seeing a single hair However, Ma Di led more than a thousand troops and swaggered out from Chen Cang Road, and wiped out Chen Cang's deputy general Wang Shuang and a thousand soldiers chasing him, and then left swaggeringly without attacking the city.

It wasn't until the end of the war that Cao and Wei suddenly realized that Ma Su had played an "empty city strategy" for the purpose of coping with (perfunctory) Sun Quan and reducing the pressure on the Wei army's offensive on Soochow.

From the beginning to the end, the [-] army in Ziwu Valley was a cover, and the attack of Tianshui by the Shu army in Xixian County was also a cover-up.Ma Di sent only one thousand troops in total, and wandered under the city of Chencang for a month.

This result made Wei Guojun and his ministers silent.

Throughout the history of ancient and modern wars, they have never seen such a general who disregarded military common sense, walked around the city and penetrated into the enemy's hinterland without being injured.

War, that's not how it's fought.

God of War Bai Qi and Bingxian Han Xin have never used soldiers like this.

Based on this, the monarchs and ministers of the state of Wei agreed that Ma Di was more difficult to deal with than Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was very powerful, but it rarely caused Wei Guo a disadvantage.

Ma Su is not.

If Ma Di chooses to attack a certain area of ​​Wei State, he will not give up if he does not achieve his goal.

The first sneak attack on Chencang and Liangzhou some time ago was a bloody lesson.

It took Ma Di only half a day to attack Chencang for the first time; it took Ma Di only nine days to attack the three eastern counties of Liangzhou, and he didn't even give the Wei army a chance to reinforce.

Now that Liangzhou has fallen, the great situation has been reversed in an instant.

Longyou can't lose again.

If Longyou is lost, the foundation created by the ancestors of Wei State will be in danger... Cao Rui stood in front of Weiyang Palace a little depressed, deeply worried.

Afterwards, things were uneventful. Although Ma Di threatened to march from Ziwu Valley, according to the information sent back by the scouts, tens of thousands of Shu troops assembled near Wei County, not Lecheng in the east of Hanzhong.

Lecheng is located at the exit at the southern end of Meridian Valley.

If you want to march from Meridian Valley, you have to pass through this city, then go through the canyon for hundreds of miles, and reach Guanzhong alive before you have a chance to attack Chang'an.

Based on comprehensive intelligence analysis, Cao Rui believed that Ma Su would send troops from Chencang Road, so he reactivated Guo Huai and made him a regular servant of scattered cavalry to lead the troops to garrison the northern pass of Ziwu Valley.At the same time, Hao Zhao was recalled to garrison Chencang, and Wang Ling, governor of Yuzhou, and Gaorou, Marquis of Yanshouting were called in to help.

Wang Ling is the 60-year-old nephew of Situ Wang Yun in the Eastern Han Dynasty; Gao Rou is the 58-year-old younger brother of Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan.

Both of them are important ministers of Cao Wei with high military literacy.

As soon as the two arrived in Chang'an, they quarreled because of disagreements.

Gao Rou said to Cao Rui: "Zhuge Liang led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to fight Sima Yi in Longxi. The enemy soldiers won Liangzhou and their morale was at its peak. Such an army that takes advantage of the victory is unstoppable, and the soldiers under the command of General Sima will be exhausted. After a successful move, the plague was raging, morale was low, and the army's power was weak. The west of Longshan was facing the danger of being breached at this moment.

"In the northern border, Kobineng's Xianbei troops are ready to move, and we must be aware of it; in the south, Sun Quan's army is assembled on the river, and the purpose is not clear; in Hanzhong, Ma Di's attack is not clear, and our Great Wei is facing the dilemma of fighting on several fronts. "

"The ancients once said: 'A viper stings a hand, and a strong man looses his wrist.' "Sun Tzu" also said: "If a soldier does not attack, the ground is not defended." It is all about small losses and big gains. The reason. Now Longxi is more harmful than Viper, Di Dao's land is difficult to defend, and Zhuge Liang's soldiers and horses are sharp, so they should be avoided. It is better to cut the risk to protect themselves, abandon Longyou, shrink the army to Guanzhong, and concentrate the advantages A decisive victory with Ma Di in the plains, and then plan to enter the army and regain Longliang, this is the surefire plan."

Wang Ling believed that this plan was inappropriate, and argued with reason: "The matter of Longyou is under the control of General Sima and the Governor. We have nothing to worry about. Just saying that Ma Su came to attack Chang'an is a light soldier who goes deep into a dangerous place. No matter which way is true, Whichever road is false, its original intention is to fight against our army in the plains and wilderness, in order to seek a quick victory."

"In this way, I will rely on the high walls, deep ditches, and dangerous passes to besiege it in the ancient Qinling Road and dampen the spirit of the Shu army. If we don't guard against this danger, let Ma Di cross the road and take advantage of the victory to march eastward and occupy Chencang. , martial arts, Beiyuan, get enough food, and then collect Luo’s soldiers and recruit the people, and then fight for Chang’an in the east, and destroy Longyou in the west, isn’t it just drawing wolves into the house? Bringing disaster upon oneself?!”

"..."

The two insisted on their own words and could not argue.

Cao Rui was overwhelmed by what he heard, so he had to adjourn the meeting temporarily, and sent someone to copy the conversation between the two on brocade silk, and sent it to Longyou to ask Sima Yi for advice.

Sima Yi replied: "If the Shu army is blocked in the Qinling ancient road, after a long time, it will lose all vigor and exhaust its troops. At that time, the attack and defense will change, so why worry about not being able to destroy the Shu army."

"The book of war says: 'The general who wants to attack the city should be supplemented with a siege vehicle. This vehicle was not made in March. of."

"At present, Ma Di intends to go deep alone, and the transfer of food and grass will inevitably be difficult. It is a great opportunity for our army to stand firm and wait for changes. As long as our army occupies the commanding heights and favorable terrain, and blocks the key passes that the enemy must pass through, the Shu army will definitely go without a fight. retreat."

"Since ancient times, when soldiers are in danger of fighting, they should be more decisive. We must not tolerate and indulge the enemy, and we must establish the determination to not give up an inch of ground to the soldiers. How can Ergong say 'abandon the defense' and 'cut the wrist'" Come?"

"Besides, even if Ma Di led his troops across the Qinling Mountains, his troops would have no weapons and supplies, so why should they be afraid?"

After Sima Yi's opinion was passed back to Chang'an, Cao Rui strengthened his determination to "defend the enemy in the Qinling Mountains".

In the north of Weixian County, in the middle of Chencang Road.

Ma Su is leading three major generals, Huang Xi, Li Sheng, Zhang Xiu, and [-] soldiers, slowly heading towards Chen Cangcheng.

Stop and go every day, only twenty or thirty miles.

Not only that, since leaving the Weixian area, Ma Su suddenly became a little strange. First, he gave up his horse to ride in a carriage, and then became taciturn, rarely issuing a military order all day long.

The three generals were all very puzzled, and they were riding horses in parallel at the front of the army, whispering to each other.

Li Sheng frowned, lowered his voice and said to Huang and Zhang, "Lao Li, Lao Zhang, have you noticed that something is wrong with the general recently?"

Huang Xi nodded: "It's really not right. The general used to be impatient, no matter what he did, he moved very quickly. This time when attacking Chen Cang, the marching speed is so slow, but it is rare!"

Li Sheng waved his hands repeatedly and looked at Zhang Xiu. "Old Zhang, you have spent the longest time with the general. Tell me, is the general happy?"

Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I didn't find anything else, but I just felt that the general had a special fragrance...it smelled like a woman!"

"..." Li Sheng and Huang Xi looked at each other, confused.

This guy's viewing angle is a bit weird.

Zhang Xiu continued: "Do you feel that the general looks like a woman!"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Sheng and Huang Xi were startled, and quickly looked around, seeing that the nearby soldiers were all hurrying with their heads down, and they were relieved.

In this era of extreme patriarchy, saying that someone is "similar to a woman" is ten times worse than calling someone a "Zizi".

Li Sheng glanced at Zhang Xiu: "Your guess is very reasonable, don't guess like that next time."

Huang Xi echoed, "Yes, if the general hears this, he will beat you to pieces, and then reduce you to an ordinary soldier."

Zhang Xiu nodded with some fear, and quickly shut up.

The army continued to meander along Chencang Road.

……

Hanzhong, [-] li east of Lecheng, south exit of Ziwu Valley.Under the leadership of Wang Ping, five thousand Shu soldiers held high the banners of "horse", "king", and "han", swaggered into the mountain road, and marched slowly towards Chang'an at a speed of more than ten miles a day.

At the same time, forty miles west of Lecheng, exit Xiegu Road South.

In the sky, a black eagle and a huge eagle soared and circled.

On the ground, [-] Wudang flying soldiers dressed as Orion submerged swiftly into the canyon and mountain road.

Ma Su, who was wearing an ordinary military uniform, rode a strong black horse, tied the great wizard who was pretending to be an ordinary soldier behind his back, and followed at the end of the team, feeling very happy.

He is not on Chencang Road, nor on Ziwu Road, but on Baoxie Road (Xiegu).

There are many roads that Hanzhong can attack Chang'an. From west to east, they are the old road of Chencang, Baoxie Road, Tangluo Road, and Ziwu Road.

All four roads can be directly inserted into the Guanzhong area.

There is no doubt that Ma Di's goal this time is Wuzhangyuan in the northern section of Xiegu. All his plans to attack Chang'an this time are based on Wuzhangyuan.

He came up with this plan when he left Liangzhou and passed through Qiang to return to Xixian County.

Considering that it was the last time when Qiyana pretended to be him, it was the last time that she performed "False Reality". Although she was successful, due to various reasons, Qiyana's appearance had many flaws.

This time Ma Su learned his lesson and quietly brought Axiu and the great wizard along.

The main function of bringing the great wizard is to communicate with the eagle and obtain information.Secondary role...decompression.

And bringing Axiu, it is purely a clever plan to "confuse the real with the fake" and "make the fake out of the real, and make the real out of the fake".

Anyway, Ma Di's ultimate goal is to hide from the opponent, not hide from the three generals under his command. Therefore, the pretender must have a fairly high force value in order to confuse the fake with the real.

Coincidentally, Axiu has such force.

Ma Di has repeatedly considered the whole plan and it is perfect.At least, no one in this era can think of such a plan.

Although nominally speaking, his soldiers and horses along the way were only partial divisions supporting Zhuge Liang's army, and his task was to contain the Wei army and make it easier for Zhuge Liang to capture Longyou.

But Ma Di never had the consciousness to be a partial teacher.

Starting from the Battle of Jieting, every military operation of his has been carried out with himself as the protagonist.

Including the subsequent Battle of Xiabian and the Battle of Liangzhou.

Relying abruptly on his own strength, he turned the side division into the main force and the support into the main attack.

This time, he also came to be the protagonist.

The Longyou battlefield is bound to become the foil of the Guanzhong battlefield.

While thinking about it, thinking that Axiu is pretending to be herself in the Chencang Road at the moment, and that she might have fought against Wei Jun guarding Dashan Pass (Hulu Valley), Ma Di couldn't help laughing "Kukuku".

It has to be said that apart from the fact that Axiu's chest muscles are slightly exaggerated, when she pretends to be him, she can really confuse the real one.

That arrogant little demeanor, that self-respecting temperament, cannot be said to be the same, they are almost carved out of the same mold.

Five days later, Ma Su's [-] field troops stopped fifty miles away from the north exit of Xiegu.

After a chat with the eagle in his arms, the great wizard told the truth about the Wei army's formation at the front pass and the soldiers and horses stationed in Wuzhangyuan.

A Wei army of 500 men guarded the front pass, and an army of about 2000 men guarded Wuzhangyuan.

While analyzing the situation, Ma Di sighed that it is really useful to use the eagle as a scout.

The eagle's vision is more than ten times that of a human's, and it can spot prey at a distance of ten kilometers. The party with the eagle is basically equivalent to a dimensionality reduction strike against the party without the eagle.

How could such a war be lost?
After analysis, Ma Di decided to launch an attack at night, to take down the pass in the shortest time possible, and to capture as many guards alive as possible without letting the news leak out.

Since the five thousand Wudang flying troops on this trip are all absolutely reliable confidantes, Ma Di called everyone together and directly ordered:
"Tonight, I will use the big eagle to send ten of you to the mountain on the side of the pass. You hang down the rope, pull the others up, and then quietly go down to the pass to eliminate all the Wei army guards. After controlling the situation, remember to stay live."

After thinking about it, Ma Di said again: "Forget it, let me lead the battle."

The sky quickly darkened, and insects and birds flew in the mountains.

Fortunately, the sky is full of stars tonight, there is no moon, and the night is twilight.

Ma Su grabbed the big eagle's two claws and flew away, leaving a black afterimage under the night, spanning hundreds of feet from one mountain top, and landing on another mountain top on the side of the pass.

Then, fix the rope on the top of the mountain and hang it down.

Not long after, the soldiers climbed up the hill one after another, and followed Ma Di to touch down quietly.

Chi Chi Chi!

A dozen Wei soldiers who slept on the pass fell asleep forever.

The sound of dull footsteps soon spread all over the pass.

Half an hour later, the pass was under control.

Ma Su held a long sword, blood dripping from the tip of the sword, standing in the middle of the big village full of Wei soldiers, looking around everyone with a cold face:
"Is there anyone who doesn't surrender?"

"Surrender... We surrender, General, please spare me!" A general who looked like a low-ranking officer knelt on the ground and cupped his hands.

Ma Su smiled and said, "What's your name?"

"General Cao Shuang's subordinate Sima, Xia Hougui."

"Very well, let's go"

Xia Hougui stood up dejectedly, with his hands tied behind his back, and walked towards Wuzhangyuan with one foot deep and the other shallow.

Along the way, Xia Hougui hesitated to speak several times, obviously not convinced by the defeat.

Being captured alive by a surprise attack makes me aggrieved just thinking about it.

Frankly speaking, Xia Hougui, as a young hero of the Xiahou family, the most despised thing in his life is sneak attack.

If you are a man, you will win head-on.

What kind of hero is a sneak attack? !

No matter what the general's surname is, he basically has no future in this life.

Sneak attack...

So cheap!
Ma Di quickly noticed the strangeness in front of him, but he didn't speak.

Xia Houshang couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "Dare to ask the general's name?"

"Miangui, my surname is Ma and my name is Su."

"Are you Ma Su?" Xia Hougui's eyes were as big as the copper bell in an instant.

"Didn't you fight our army at Dasan Pass?"

Ma Di smiled and said: "Yes, I am currently attacking Dashan Pass in the middle of Chencang Road, and I am eager to overcome it."

"Then why are you here?" Xia Hougui was stunned.

"To be honest, I am a god descended from the earth, with three heads and six arms, and the ability to separate bodies. I am the one in Chencang Tao, and I am also in this place." Ma Di said seriously.

"To me, the pass of several zhang is just flat ground, and I can fly over it with my body."

Hearing this, four big words immediately appeared in Xia Hougui's mind, echoing endlessly.

"The demon Ma Di!"

The last time Xia Hougui saw someone different from ordinary people was Zuo Ci.

The scene of Zuo Ci's empty-handed fishing on the ground like a magic trick is still deeply engraved in his mind.

At that time, Wei Wang Cao Cao regarded Zuo Ci as a monster.

Now, another monster appeared.

Xia Hougui suddenly felt much calmer in his heart.

Losing to such a person doesn't seem to be too embarrassing.

Before, because Liu Chan's queen was surnamed Xiahou, he took refuge in the Kingdom of Shu, so he would not be buried.

Thinking of this, Xia Hougui quickly calmed down.
