Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 288 Sima Yi: Destiny, ahahaha...

……

In August of the tenth year of Jianxing (232), the Wei army was defeated in Shicheng, and the [-] army was almost wiped out. The main generals Qin Lang and Tian Yu led dozens of cavalry to escape, and Bingzhou fell, and the northern border was in a hurry.

In September, under the leadership of the new king of Xianbei, Alstai, the Huns, Eastern Qiang, Central Xianbei, Eastern Xianbei, Sanbu Wuhuan, and Liaodong Wang Gongsunyuan sent envoys to Jinyang to discuss the division of the northern Wei kingdom. state land.

When the news came out, the government and the people of Wei State were shaken, and the whole world was shaken.

If you add Shu, which is at odds with the Wei army in Guanzhong, and Wu, which has always been duplicitous, there are as many as eight hostile forces around Cao Wei, and all of them have shown their sharp fangs to Wei, and want to carve it up. quick.

In the court of the Great Wei Dynasty, the officials were arguing over whether to abandon the Guanzhong area and transfer Sima Yi to guard the frontier.

In the end, Cao Rui resisted all opinions and mobilized [-] troops from the Hefei and Xiangyang theaters, supplemented by [-] Chinese troops, with Cao Shuang as commander, Wang Ling as deputy, Tian Yu, Dong Bi, Sun Li, Zhang Hu (Zhang Liao) son), Le Wei (son of Le Jin) and others were generals.The troops were divided into three groups and stationed in Hedong, Daijun, and Yuyang to resist the Hu.

So far, the situation of "the whole world will attack Wei" has been completely formed.All insightful people in the world are keenly aware that if Soochow also attacks Wei at this moment, no matter how big Cao Wei is, it will be cold in an instant.

Fortunately (but sadly), such a thing did not happen.

.

At the moment, Wu State is busy dealing with the intensifying Shanyue Rebellion in the territory, and is busy dealing with the aggressive offensive of the Lu family in Jiaozhou.

The news of battles in various places spread to Guanzhong one after another, which made Zhuge Liang feel very relieved, and suddenly felt that the Shuhan's chances of victory were getting bigger and bigger.The time has finally come for this battle against Wei that has been planned since ten years ago.

After defeating Wei State, the world structure like a plate of loose sand is just suitable for the Shu Han to flex its muscles and quickly unify the world.

However, although the prospects are good, the battle is very difficult.Zhao Yun's [-] cavalry were successfully blocked in the Longshan Avenue by the Sima Division stationed at Xiaoguan, making it difficult to advance an inch.

And around Wuzhangyuan, the main battlefield.Sima Yi led [-] Wei troops to firmly stare hundreds of thousands of Shu troops at Wuzhangyuan, putting on a posture of "Either you attack me by force, or I will defend until the end of time".

Zhuge Liang was at a loss for this "turtle" style of play, and worried that his health would deteriorate due to overwork.During this period, they wanted to write a letter several times to recall Ma Di, and the two each took charge of an army, and divided their troops to attack Sima Yi, who was difficult to care about from head to toe, and then joined forces to win Guanzhong.In the end, it was considered that Ma Di's current practice of cultivating enemies for Cao Wei was more critical and he gave up.

Occasionally, Zhuge Liang, who is about to reach the end of his life, will silently say in his heart:

Youchang, come back
I can hardly stand it anymore.
I will give you whatever you want. Just defeat Wei Guo.

It was at this time that Ma Di returned to Guanzhong. On a winter rainy morning, he lifted the curtain of the commander-in-chief of the three armies and saw Zhuge Liang who was at his desk correcting military affairs.

With just one glance, Ma Di's eye sockets immediately became moist.

Zhuge Liang looked older than when he parted last time. As the territory of Shu Han continued to expand, Zhuge Liang's aging speed also accelerated suddenly.

In the past, the Shu Han had only one state, with an army of 15. No matter how many tasks there were, even if you worked hard, you could stay up late and finish them all in one day.Now Shuhan has four states and 30 troops. This may not have much impact on others, but for Zhuge Liang, who must do everything by himself, it means that the work intensity has increased by three to four times.

Who can handle this workload?
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhuge Liang's aging speed has accelerated.

Based on the current physical condition of Prime Minister Zhuge, Ma Di felt that if he did not come back, it would be difficult for him to live to the next year.

Fortunately, he is back.

The soldiers of the Shu army stationed in Wuzhangyuan did not respond as enthusiastically to Ma Di's arrival as expected, and almost none of them had ever served under Ma Di's hands.For them, Ma Su is just an undefeated legend, very ethereal and unpredictable, but Zhuge Liang is the god they can touch every day.

But for the backbone generals in the army and even Zhuge Liang, they all knew what Ma Di's return meant.

I dare not say that the Shu Han's current good situation is all due to Ma Di's contribution, at least his contribution is more than [-]%.

Therefore, each of them was very excited, spontaneously followed behind Ma Di, and stood silently outside the handsome tent.

"Prime Minister, I'm back!"

This short sentence almost made all the generals following Ma Di weep, and everyone's eyes were a little sore.

Due to his poor health, Zhuge Liang's reaction was already very slow. After the voice rang for a while, he raised his head tremblingly, trying to open his eyes wide, trying to see clearly who was back.

Ma Su hurriedly walked a few steps to help the 52-year-old elder and mentor.He repeated it again, "Prime Minister, Su is back."

"Okay, okay! It's good to be back." Zhuge Liang heard it clearly this time. He hunched his waist, raised his head halfway, and looked at Ma Su's face carefully, his eyes full of relief.

After experiencing so many things, he also saw it. No matter whether Ma Di had the heart of disobedience, he did his best to plan such a good situation for the Shu Han. As a prime minister, he should not create any obstacles in terms of military power.

The most important thing is that he is old and needs a successor urgently.

Ma Su helped Zhuge Liang to sit back, and said word by word: "Prime Minister, leave this military affairs to me, why don't you rest for a while?"

Zhuge Liang didn't think for long, then nodded, Weiwei stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed at the commander's seal on the wooden case, and signaled Ma Su to get it by himself.

Ma Di didn't take the big seal that symbolized power, he already had enough prestige, even if he didn't use that big seal, he could still declare himself the master of the three armies.

He got up slowly, looked around at all the civil and military generals who followed, and began to issue orders one by one:

"Wei Yan, Ma Dai! I ordered the two of you to lead an army of [-], and challenge Sima Yi every day."

"Yes!" The two stepped forward to take the token and backed away.

"Liao Hua, Zong Yu! I order the two of you to lead an army of [-], and move all the food and grass to the upper valley for storage. Also collect fire things, the more the better."

"Yes!" The two also stepped forward to listen to the order.

"Yang Yi, I order you to handle the daily military affairs in the army, count the equipment, and listen to it at any time."

Although Yang Yi had a little reluctance on his face, this order was to give him more power, so he readily complied.

"Deng Zhi, Hu Ji, Li Hui, Zhang Yi, Ma Zhong, Ma Dai, Zhang Biao, Yan Yu... you all lead the headquarters, step up your patrol, don't slack off!"

"Huang Xi, Li Sheng, Zhang Xiu, and Yang Wanwan, the four of you each command five thousand soldiers and horses to defend the camp!"

"Dismiss!"

Hurray, a group of generals surrendered.

Regardless of Zhuge Liang's face or Ma Di's prestige in the sky, the generals had no reason to disobey orders.

After making the arrangements, Ma Di leaned over and asked, "Prime Minister, is there anything else you want to add?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head calmly, without objection.

Seeing this, all the generals led out one after another.

Jiang Wei, who was left on the sidelines, looked at Ma Di in wonder, and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you, Young Chang, want to attack with fire again?" called back.

"What? The prime minister has already used this trick before?" Ma Di was surprised.

Jiang Wei nodded: "Yes, half a month ago, Sima Yi was trapped in a desperate situation, and the fire burned, and the result was a sudden heavy rain, which made him escape. Thinking about it now, it makes people sigh! Almost, almost killed Sima Yi is cooked..."

"Indeed, who can refuse a roasted Sima Yi..." Ma Di was a little embarrassed, and asked, "Since Bo Yue knows that he has used this trick, why didn't he stop me?"

Jiang Wei chuckled, "General, you are victorious in every battle, how dare the last general dare to speak?"

"..."

Good guy, if you don't learn well at a young age, it's hard to learn?
Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, you have learned badly!

With a big wave of his hand, Ma Di made a step for himself: "Don't panic, this plan has been used, I have another plan, to capture Sima Yi!"

So the three generals gathered together and whispered.

……

Since Ma Di took over the command of the Shu army, the military discipline and strictness of the Shu army have dropped a lot visible to the naked eye, and the soldiers have a rare relaxed look on their faces.

However, morale did not drop because of this, on the contrary, it improved.

At the same time, the temperament of the entire Shu army has also changed completely, from the step-by-step, rigorous, serious and regular when Zhuge Liang led the army, to the current flexible and changeable, adapting to the battle.

This is not surprising. Soldiers are the courage of the generals and the soul of the army. The mental outlook of an army can reflect the commanding style of a commander to the greatest extent.

What's more, Ma Su is good at strategy and commanding in front of the battle, but short at managing the army and formation.In terms of military discipline and military appearance, almost no one in the world can approach Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, military discipline and military capacity will naturally be worse than before.

Zhuge Liang, a perfectionist, saw these things in his eyes, opened his mouth to speak several times, but finally suppressed the idea of ​​giving advice to Ma Di, and was not so at ease to raise his body.

the other side.

Sima Yi also saw all these changes in the Shu army, and was very surprised. He quickly sent scouts to check nearby, and then sent envoys to the Shu camp, in the name of sending letters to discuss with Zhuge Liang about the strike and truce. See if Zhuge Liang is dead.

Sima Yi seriously suspected that Zhuge Liang had died, and the Shu army had changed its supreme commander. Among the generals of the Shu army who can currently take over Zhuge Liang's power, it is none other than Ma Di.

Sima Yi knew that Ma Di had gone to the grassland. If the general of the Shu army on the Wuzhang Plain changed, it would mean that Ma Di had returned, and it would also mean that Wei Jun's life would be difficult.

There is no trace of Ma Di's unpredictable methods of using troops and unconstrained strategies.Sima Yi was able to foresee Zhuge Liang's general intentions and strategies, but he was not sure of Ma Di's method of using troops.

Wei Jun's strategy of sticking to no war is only useful to a commander like Zhuge Liang who doesn't like to take risks.For a commander like Ma Di, it is impossible to defend to the death.

Ma Su is a man who is sometimes as steady as iron when using troops, and sometimes is good at winning in danger.The surprise attack on Chencang by 5000 troops four years ago is a clear proof, normal generals, who would dare to play like this?One mistake and the whole army is wiped out.

The most important thing is that in terms of taking advantage of the situation, Ma Su is even better than Zhuge Liang.Mountains and rivers, water, fire, wind, thunder and ice have all been used by him.

Even in the plague war, Ma Di could easily use it without any pressure.

Such an unpredictable opponent made Sima Yi feel a lot of pressure.

Wei Guo can have the current corrupt situation, all thanks to Ma Di.

Originally, the state of Wu had turned against the state of Wei, and was about to attack the state of Shu with Wei, but suddenly, civil strife broke out out of nowhere, and the Soochow regime split into two in an instant. Wei any help.

Not to mention that the various tribes of the Western Qiang were originally foreign tribes attached to the Wei State, but they were quickly unified by Ma Su somehow, and helped the State of Shu take Liangzhou and Longyou.

Coupled with the continuous victories of the Xianbei people under the leadership of Ke Bineng, Wei State lost the entire Bingzhou and half of Youzhou in an instant.Now it is facing the siege of five or six Hu tribes and Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong.

This situation surrounded by wolves was all caused by Ma Di.

It's not that Sima Yi doesn't have ways to deal with the chaos, but all of these ways require him to go there in person.

But Ma Di never gave him such a chance to turn the tide. Every time before plotting Wei Guo, he always clicked Zhuge Liang in front of him, making him unable to move, and then Ma Di swaggered to clean up Wei Guo.

Sima Yi hated having no ability to separate himself, and was always in a hurry to get angry, but he couldn't do anything about it, and he didn't dare to let go of Zhuge Liang who was overwhelmed by soldiers.

This is very painful.

Regarding Ma Di, Sima Yi was full of old-fashionedness in his heart. If the opponent was Zhuge Liang, he could deal with him calmly.

If the opponent is Ma Di... Sima Yi just wants to lead the army to charge immediately and kill him a hundred times to relieve his anger.

A hundred times, a hundred times!

Therefore, it is particularly important to find out who the general of the Shu army is now.

The scouts did a quick investigation, but they didn't find any flags with the word "horse" in the central army of the Shu army, only a few flags with the word "horse" under Wei Yan's command, which were Ma Dai's army flags and had nothing to do with Ma Di.

The envoy sent to the Shu camp to deliver the letter also quickly returned, reporting that there was no abnormality found, and no trace of Ma Di was found. Zhuge Liang, the commander of the Shu army, was still in good spirits except for his older face.

Sima Yi had no choice but to go out of the camp to observe in person while the Shu army was not coming to challenge.

When the group reached the foot of the mountain near the upper valley, Sima Yi suddenly reined in his horse, pointed to the top of the valley and asked, "There are still Shu troops up there?"

The generals followed his fingers and saw the looming Shu army flag on the top of the valley above.

Obviously, there are indeed soldiers and horses stationed on it.

"Report to the governor, the Shu army started to store grain in the valley in large numbers yesterday." A scout replied.

"This villager Zhuge is really abominable! He wants to repeat the old trick and burn his father again!" Hearing this news, Sima Zhao was furious.

Last time, the father and son were almost cooked.

Sima Yi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, pointing to another hilltop with a gentler slope beside him, he said:
"Let's go up to this mountain and have a look!"

So a group of people slowly rode up the hillside.There are dense trees on the mountain, and the ground is more than one foot high. Everyone climbed to the top of the mountain from the back and looked at the surrounding terrain from the air.

This place is very far away from Wuzhang Plain, and transportation to and from it is inconvenient, so it is superfluous to store grain here.

Zhuge Liang had two intentions to store grain here before. One was to lure the Wei army to cut off the grain road, and then the Shu army and the Wei army would fight in the wild, both to decide the superiority and to divide life and death; Close the door and set fire to it.

Sima Yi had been caught in the trick twice before, both times he was visibly victorious and secretly lost, and the second time he almost died in Yanaka.

Sima Yi set up a pergola with his hands and walked around the top of the cliff, looking at the direction of Wuzhangyuan and lost in thought.Sima Zhao and the other generals didn't bother him, they waited quietly aside.

At this time, the red sun was setting to the west, the curtain of clouds was surging, and the cold north wind suddenly blew up, making it even more desolate and chilling.

Sima Yi looks down from the top of the mountain to the north, and the gurgling Weishui flows through the endless Guanzhong Plain to the east. This scene of mountains and rivers makes people feel heroic.

"As long as Ma Di doesn't come, the final victory must belong to Sima Yi!"

"Kong Ming, Kong Ming, let you do whatever you want, I have the blessing of destiny, how can you beat me?!"

"Man, how can he go against the sky..."
