Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 22
Cao Shuang choked on these two words and almost choked internally.

He took a few breaths violently, trying his best to suppress the churning deep in his heart, his face was flushed; he took another deep breath, only then could he calm down his overly violent heartbeat.

Seeing Cao Shuang flinch and admit defeat, Ma Di looked up to the sky and laughed, with strong disdain and sarcasm in his laughter.

As if to say: "That's it? The world-renowned elite of the Wei army, just this bit of courage?"

Cao Shuang's head was heated up by the laughter, and he almost died on the spot.

If it wasn't for Du Xi, the military adviser, who held him tightly, he might have rushed up the mountain single-handedly.

die.

This is already the most outstanding of the three sons... Cao Zhen looked at the impetuous Cao Shuang, and suddenly felt a slight pain in his heart, with a sense of sadness that he had no successors.

However, he still tried to persuade: "Shuang'er, the top priority of our army is to find a way to avoid being attacked by the enemy, not to compete with them here."

Cao Shuang put his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes were red, his teeth were clucking loudly: "Father, please let the boy lead the army to rush up the mountain and capture Ma Su alive!"

"Don't be reckless!" Cao Zhen shouted coldly, motioning Cao Shuang to look around.

Cao Shuang raised his eyes and looked around, all the soldiers looked tired, and fell silent for a while.

Cao Zhenyu said earnestly: "The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a hard attack will only increase casualties. You should remember the defeat of Zhang Ying's Jieting before the Lord, so that the army will not repeat the same mistakes."

In fact, in the past half a month since the feigned attack on Hanzhong, the soldiers had been running back and forth on the rugged Chencang Road, and both men and horses were extremely exhausted. At this time, many soldiers were wounded, and some soldiers' soles were even worn out.

Before, Cao Zhen had planned to leave the army after entering Calabash Valley. He didn't want to be ambushed by Ma Di suddenly, so he had to brace himself to deal with it.

At this moment, even his coach felt numb in his legs, and strong muscle soreness hit him in waves.

Presumably the soldiers were only more tired than him.

But the tense feeling of facing an enemy forced everyone to hold back their fatigue and strengthen their spirits.

They all knew that the real danger was right in front of them, and if they didn't get rid of Ma Di, they might not be able to easily get a chance to breathe.

As the son of the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, Cao Shuang knew the details of the two defeats in Jieting, so he quickly calmed down after his father reminded him.

In this era of cold weapons, any party will be invincible as long as it has the right time, place, people and one of the three elements.

The current situation is: Wei's soldiers are many and elite, so they occupy the peace; Shu's soldiers are few but at a high place, so they have geographical advantages.

Even if there are [-] Wei soldiers, they will not be able to defeat the [-] Shu soldiers who have geographical advantages in a short period of time.

In the face of the mighty power of nature, human beings seem small and powerless. Even if all the soldiers of Wei are elite, they can't attack the cliff guarded by thousands of people.

In the same way, two thousand Shu soldiers have nothing to do with Wei soldiers.

As long as the Wei army does not enter the Gourd Valley, the Shu army can only stare blankly.

However, the right time, place, people and the three elements will not remain unchanged, but will quietly shift over time.

For example, at this moment the Shu army has taken advantage of the geographical advantage.But once the Wei soldiers surrounded the mountain range and did not attack, then the Wei army would be the one with the geographical advantage.

In this way, the Shu army could only sit and wait for death.

Of course, if Zhuge Liang's 10,000+ army arrives, guards the main road, and forms a front and back attack with Ma Di, then the advantage of people and harmony will be transferred to the Shu army.

After calming down, Cao Shuang soon had a bold idea.

He raised his eyelids, looked at Cao Zhen who was calm and calm, and said slowly: "Father, my son is willing to lead an army, climb the mountain and cut off the return route of the Shu army on the mountain."

Cao Zhen glanced at the tall and long ridge, and waved his hand to Cao Shuang: "No, Ma Di is nothing to worry about, and Chen Cang's loss is nothing to worry about."

"The lives of these [-] powerful soldiers are the most important thing."

"You have to remember that if the city is lost, it can be regained. If the elite soldiers are gone, then they will really be gone."

"People are always the most important thing!"

There is another sentence, Cao Zhen refrained from saying it, because Cao Shuang didn't understand it.

That's all for now.

Cao Shuang nodded: "Father, what should we do?"

Cao Zhen glanced at Cao Shuang, who was still immature, and turned to point to the south of Chencang Road: "Five miles south along this road, there is a narrow mountain road that leads directly to the Chencang Wei River. With this narrow road, our army can rest easy."

"I order you to command [-] troops, return to the south, and be sure to rush to occupy this narrow road before Zhuge Liang."

"In this way, our army can advance and retreat freely!"

Cao Zhen gave orders, and without waiting for Cao Shuang to respond, he turned to look at Du Xi, the military adviser.

Du Xi understood, and quickly cupped his hands: "Great Governor, Xi is willing to go with you!"

Cao Zhen nodded, watching Cao Shuang and Du Xi send off, feeling slightly worried and at the same time entangled.

Knowing a son is like a father, he knows how much his son weighs...Cao Shuang is definitely not Zhuge Liang's opponent, this task of defending the narrow road may be difficult to accomplish...

But the lost Chen Cangcheng had to be recovered.

Although he said it lightly, "People are more important than city victory or defeat."But that was just an excuse to comfort his son.

The strategic position of Chen Cangcheng is too important.

If the Shu army occupies Chencang, they can attack when they advance and defend when they retreat. From the side, they can cut off the grain and grass sent from Chang'an to Longxi, and they can threaten Chang'an from the front, and watch Guanzhong as a tiger.

Moreover, the guilt of losing the city and land is so great that even he, the governor, has to spend a lot of trouble to bear it.

After all, not long after Cao Rui ascended the throne, it was time to distinguish between rewards and punishments.And Cao Zhen, after all, is only the adopted son of Wei Wudi Cao Cao, and his status is also under the great Sima Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu is a family member of the royal family.

Whichever is closer and which is far, His Majesty's heart is like a mirror.

In addition, there are also many dirty things in the court secretly.

If Chen Cang cannot be recovered quickly, most of the ministers will criticize him, either overtly or secretly.

Therefore, Cao Zhencai risked a stalemate in front of Calabash Valley, preferring to order Hao Zhao to attack Ma Di.He is also unwilling to lead the army back safely, and withdraws from the narrow road to the Weishui Road and retreats to Guanzhong. Xu Tu has a good strategy.

……

On the mountain, Ma Di saw Cao Shuang split up and left, so he knew Cao Zhen's plan. He was secretly happy, and immediately went down to the mountainside, shouting loudly:

"Captain Cao, I have a message, do you want to listen?"

The implication is to ask Cao Zhen to come and talk to him.

Cao Zhen restrained his thoughts, looked at Ma Di vigilantly, and said nothing.

After the Battle of Jieting, all the information about Ma Di had been spread throughout the court of Wei State.

His Majesty Cao Rui commented on Ma Di's twelve-character mantra: cunning, prudence, and unscrupulous means to achieve the goal.

Cao Zhen has no reason not to be vigilant against such an enemy.

He even knew that there was a small stone throwing expert beside Ma Di, who could hit every shot within a hundred steps.

Therefore, he took it for granted that Ma Di had no good intentions at the moment, and what he wanted to say must not be good, and he might even be tricking him into approaching him so that the little stone-throwing expert could shoot him.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen was startled, instead of advancing, he retreated, reining in his horse and retreating a distance, expressionless said:
"If you have something to say, hurry up and let your fart go."
