Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 223 West or East?Let's ask Han Xin

The three generals originally wanted to say that it was because of "money" and "fame" that the soldiers scrambled to become Ma Di's followers, but when Yang Wanwan's reason came out, they suddenly felt that they had no way to refute it, and they all fell silent.

Yang Wanwan didn't have the consciousness of being a "topic stopper" at all. Seeing that everyone ignored him, he asked instead: "General, where should our army attack next?"

"Wait!" Ma Di squeezed out a word from between his teeth, setting up the awning with his hands and looking in the direction of Xiao Guan.

Wait?
Who are you waiting for?

The three generals looked at each other and shook their heads.

Today, they can't see through Ma Su at all.Although they never saw through it from the beginning to the end, at least in the meeting at Jieting, they could still guess what was going on in Ma Di's mind.

In their understanding, at the meeting in Jieting, Ma Di had no actual combat experience because it was his first time in command of a soldier.In addition, his personal prestige was not established, the military orders were not smooth, the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals, so they wanted to hang on and tried their best to avoid any form of direct contact with the Wei army cavalry.

In that case, as long as there is contact between Shu and Wei, the loser must be Ma Su.

Therefore, even if there was an opportunity to beat the dog in the water to Wei Jun, Ma Su stiffly held back.

But now, Ma Di has grown to another level, a level where he is actively seeking to collide head-on with Wei Jun.

In this state, it is really puzzling for Ma Su to choose to wait.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is quite beneficial to the Shu army.No matter the [-] Wei troops around Chang'an or the generals in command, none of them can fight.

The Shu army can take all the areas in Guanzhong except Chang'an first, and then seek a decisive battle with the main force of the Wei army.

The only thing to worry about is Sima Division's 10,000 cavalry, but in order to ensure that the [-]+ Wei army in Longyou can return to Guanzhong safely, Sima Division did not dare to act rashly.

In other words, before Sima Yi's army rushed back, the [-] cavalry of Sima Division could only watch the Shu army wreak havoc on the fertile land in Guanzhong, and there was nothing they could do.
After following Ma Su for a long time, the three most generals have mastered the most basic military knowledge without a teacher.

As for Yang Wanwan, he is still in a state of vague understanding.

In a blink of an eye, another five days passed.

Another Wei army with a total of about [-] troops quietly arrived at Xiaoguan in the evening of this day, and everything went as Ma Di had expected in advance.

The Longyou area and the Guanzhong area were blocked by the Longshan Mountains running north-south, with only the Longshan Road in between.As for Xiaoguan, it happened to be located at the east end exit of this passage.

As long as the Shu army can control Xiaoguan, it is equivalent to controlling the gate from Longyou to Guanzhong, and in turn, it is equivalent to controlling the gate from Guanzhong to Longyou, which can make the Wei army stranded in Longyou homeless.The Shu army can calmly attack the surrounding areas of Chang'an, and then smash the entire Guanzhong with a thunderous force.

But the consequence of this is that Sima Yi's army can't come back.

Once Sima Yi's army couldn't come back, it was inevitable that he and Zhuge Liang would fight desperately in Longyou.

This kind of situation is not what Ma Di wants to see, and Zhuge Liang may not want to see it either.

Moreover, the most important point is that Ma Di was worried that Zhuge Liang would not be able to beat Sima Yi.

This is not alarmist.

In terms of military strength, the current strength of the Shu and Wei armies in Longyou is equal.

In terms of generals, Sima Yi, father and son (if Ma Di occupies Xiaoguan first, Sima Division will be blocked in Longyou) are all commander-in-chief talents. There are also backbone generals like You Chu and Xia Houba.

On the other hand, in the Shu Han, Zhuge Liang was the commander in chief and Wei Yan was the chief general.

At the level of high-end commanders, the Shu army is at an absolute disadvantage.

Once Sima Yi learns that there is no hope of returning to Chang'an, he will inevitably go to war with Zhuge Liang. At that time, Sima Yi only needs to divide his troops into five groups, lead part of the main force to bite Zhuge Liang's main force, and let the other four groups attack. Advantage is victory.

With Sima Yi's military ability, he can definitely think of this strategy.

Therefore, Ma Di's delay in taking Xiaoguan was just waiting for Sima Yi to mobilize Longyou troops to return to Guanzhong.The more Longyou's troops are drawn, the less pressure Zhuge Liang will face.

Usually, when a snake swallows an elephant, first the snake must be big enough, or the elephant must be small enough, otherwise it is a dead end.

The more than 10,000 troops of the Shu Han in Longyou are like a giant python, and the [-]+ Wei army in Longyou is that elephant.What Ma Su is doing now is to weaken the elephant so that the python can swallow the elephant in one gulp without being stuffed or indigested.

After these five days of waiting, Xiaoguan had gathered 13 Wei troops, and the number of Wei troops in the entire Guanzhong region had reached [-].

Since Ma Di did not make further attacks, Sima Yi also chose to wait and see what happened, and still commanded [-] soldiers and horses, guarding the two counties of Tianshui and Anding.

And because of the contraction of the defense line, Zhuge Liang had nothing to do with Sima Yi. Instead, because the two sides had equal strength (11 vs. [-]), Zhuge Liang controlled five times as much territory as Sima Yi (nine counties vs. two counties). It is difficult to take into account all aspects in the deployment of troops.

In short, it's not strong enough.

The situation in Longyou is still unclear.

At this time, a breaker is needed.

And the only one Zhuge Liang can place his hopes on is Ma Su.

In Beiyuan City, Ma Su walked up and down holding his hands, worrying so much that his brain cells were shattered.

In the current situation, he can only rely on himself, and the simulator can't help much.

The Guanzhong Plain is full of cities, and every thirty or fifty miles you will see a city standing on the main road. This pattern makes many military strategies useless.

The only strategy that works is to fight city by city.

But first, the siege weapon was not brought with the army, and second, Ma Su has always adhered to the "non-siege doctrine", so there are not many methods that can be used at present.

Or go east to attack Zhucheng, besiege the city and fight for aid, forcing the troops around Chang'an to send their heads;
Either go west, approach Xiaoguan, fight a decisive battle with Sima Division, wait for an opportunity to defeat or swallow the [-] Wei army, and then force Sima Yi to withdraw from Longyou.

What should be done?

Ma Di racked his brains to search every war in the Guanzhong area in the 5000-year history, trying to find inspiration from it, and then came up with a clever plan.

Not to mention, he soon thought of a case.

There are many wars that broke out in Guanzhong in history, but only Han Xin's actions after smuggling into Chencang are the most similar to Ma Di's current situation and have the most reference.

In 207 BC, General Xiang Yu of the Chu Army defeated the Qin Army in Julu, and the forces of the Qin State were wiped out under the siege of many insurgents.The following year, Liu Bang's army marched into Xianyang, and the Qin Dynasty fell.After Xiang Yu wiped out the Qin State, he was supported by the generals as the overlord of Western Chu, and Xiang Yu also distributed the generals of the rebel army to various places to become kings.

Xiang Yu wanted to dominate the world, and his only rival was Liu Bang.For this reason, Xiang Yu adopted Fan Zeng's strategy to enfeoff Ba, Shu, and three remote counties in the west of Hanzhong to Liu Bang to weaken Liu Bang's power.At the same time, Xiang Yu also divided the land of Guanzhong into three parts, which were entrusted to Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi, the surrendered generals of Qin State. These three people guarded Guanzhong, which completely blocked Liu Bang's development path to the east.

After Liu Bang arrived in Nanzheng, he immediately began to actively recruit troops, stockpile food and grass, and prepare for the Eastern Expedition.In the autumn of the next year, Liu Bang felt that the Han army was strong and strong. On the suggestion of Prime Minister Xiao He, he worshiped Han Xin as the general and asked him to plan to send troops to the east.

Han Xin told Liu Bang that if he wants to compete with Xiang Yu for the world, he must first counterattack.Then he carefully analyzed the situation of the Chu and Han armies for Liu Bang, and suggested that he immediately implement the preparations to return the Sanqin. This is the origin of the famous "Hanzhong Dui".After hearing this, Liu Bang was very happy, and immediately made preparations according to Han Xin's suggestion, and launched the plan for the Northern Expedition.

In order to successfully win the Guanzhong Sanqin, Han Xin decided to use a tactic to confuse the enemy.He ordered Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and other generals of the Han army to repair the previously burned plank road, while Han Xin himself led the army to smuggle to Chencang and launched a surprise attack on the Qin soldiers in Guanzhong.

After receiving the order, Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo led a large team to repair the plank road.However, there are more than 300 miles of burned plank roads, and the terrain is very dangerous, so it is quite difficult to repair.In the first few days, more than a dozen civilians fell to their deaths while repairing the plank road.

The news that Liu Bang repaired the plank road and worked hard to mobilize the crowd soon spread to the ears of the princes of Hanzhong.

When Yong Wang Zhanghan heard that the Han army was planning to repair the plank road and march eastward, he didn't care at all, because it would definitely consume a lot of manpower and financial resources to repair hundreds of miles of plank road.At that time, the people's livelihood in Hanzhong will be sad, and the Han army will be self-defeating.Even if the Han army has the ability to attack at that time, Guanzhong's terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. With their strong city, they can easily defeat the exhausted Han army.Therefore, Zhang Han still had fun every day, and did not take any defensive preparations.

Just when Zhang Han was kept in the dark by the Han army, Han Xin had led the elite Han army to quietly pass through the old road of Chen Cang, and suddenly launched an attack on Chen Cang City.The defenders of Chen Cang were caught off guard by Han Xin and fled in a hurry.

Zhang Han was shocked when he received the battle report from Chen Cang. He thought the report was wrong and was about to send someone to inquire about it, but he didn't expect that Chen Cang's defeated soldiers had already escaped.

The other two princes, Sima Xin and Dong Yi, saw the menacing approach of the Han army, and neither of them dared to fight, but just defended the city, let alone rescue Zhang Han.And Xiang Yu was fighting Tian Rong in the Kanto, and he couldn't get away at all.Zhang Han is facing a situation of isolation and helplessness.

At this time, Han Xin sent his army to pursue and kill Feiqiu (Huili County, Fufeng County). After setting up camp on a high ground, he ordered people to block a river near Feiqiu.It was the autumn flood season, the river was rising, and the terrain of the abandoned hill was low. Soon the city was submerged by the flood, and the city of the abandoned hill was in chaos.But Zhang Han knew that it was difficult to resist the Han army's offensive, so he led his army to flee in a hurry, and died in the chaos soon after.

Then, Han Xin led the Han army to quickly wipe out the remaining enemy forces in Guanzhong, and the guards in Guanzhong raised their flags and lowered their flags one after another.It took less than two months for Han Xin to pacify Sanqin in one fell swoop.

Although the process of Han Xin's pacification of Sanqin and the capture of Guanzhong was too easy, it was enough to give Ma Su corresponding inspiration.

That is to go east, break the city and occupy the territory, and destroy the courage of the Wei people.
