Chapter 298 The Battle of Shu to Destroy Wei (When Fighting with Heaven)
the other side.

With almost no effort, the four major generals took down Luoyang City, the capital of Wei Dynasty.

Although Taiwei Jiang Ji had taken strict precautions, he couldn't hold back the Shu army coming from the four gates.The four major generals each led 2500 people. Taking advantage of the time when the gate was about to close at night, they rushed in to kill and kill, and took control of the outer city in an instant.

Jiang Ji could only lead 3000 forbidden troops to retreat to the inner city palace.

Because Ma Di had specifically confessed before, the four major generals only surrounded the inner city and did not directly launch an attack. They gave the people inside a "within three days, if they don't surrender, they will enter the inner city and kill them." No chicken or dog left behind" ultimatum.

……

On Shouyang Mountain, in front of Cao Pi's Mausoleum.

The first battle was a disastrous defeat, Cao Rui was shocked, and the emperor and his ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Where did this army come from?Who is in charge?What is the purpose?Nobody knows!There is a huge shadow hanging over everyone's heart.

After Cao Shuang was shocked, he finally regained his senses, and said to Cao Rui: "Your Majesty, I have fought against the Wudang flying army of the Shu Kingdom, and I have also masked the generals of the Shu army. Looking at the way this thief fights now, it is very impressive. It’s like Shu’s Wudang flying army. If it is, Ma Su’s general will be Ma Di, and Ma Di’s sharpness must be the governor Sima Yi, so I beseech Your Majesty to send Sima Yi back to the army to rescue him.”

Cao Rui seemed to have grasped at straws, and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes! Summon Sima Yi back to the army."

Sikong Gaorou and Grand Tutor Wang Ling looked at each other, their lips moved, but in the end they didn't say anything.

If Sima Yi withdrew his troops at this time, all the land in Guanzhong would be lost to the enemy. If Guanzhong was lost, the situation facing Wei would be very difficult.At that time, the state of Shu can cross the river to attack Hedong, Luoyang, and Nanyang; if it retreats, it can sit in the pass and watch the world.

And this group of "thieves" who violated the border, let's assume that they are the Shu army led by Ma Di. How can they fight for a long time with their lone army going deep?Your Majesty only needs to retreat to Xuchang or Yecheng, call in soldiers from all over the country to surround and trap them, gather and wipe them out, and the bandits will disappear by themselves.

But now, what is Cao Shuang doing?
How could a hero like Cao Zhen give birth to a... a pile of trash?
The opponent stationed at the foot of the mountain is only ten thousand troops, and Wei Guo still has nearly fifteen thousand forbidden troops on the mountain, but everyone is frightened, no one dares to go down the mountain to fight.

Great Wei has such a "good general", I'm afraid he will perish.

"Alas..." Gao Rou sighed heavily, and hurried down to deliver an order to summon Sima Yi to rein in the army.

The imperial decree was sent to Chang'an overnight in eight hundred miles.Sima Yi was shocked when he saw the decree, and hurriedly gathered all the generals to discuss it.

Xia Hou overbearingly said: "Luoyang City fell, and His Majesty was trapped in Shouyang Mountain. He is in danger. Now he has a book to summon the governor. If the governor does not return, he will be a sinner through the ages."

Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Niu Jin and others also echoed, "Governor, withdraw your troops."

Seeing that the attitudes of the generals were surprisingly unanimous, Sima Yi pondered for a long time, and ordered Xia Houba to lead [-] troops to advance overnight, and then ordered the generals to rectify their troops one by one, and he personally led the army to cut off the rear.

Xia Houba received the military order, raised his troops overnight and broke through.

The news that Xiahouba led the army to leave quickly spread to the camp of the Shu army.Zhuge Liang ordered his left and right to help him get on the cart, and accompanied by Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei, he went out of the village and climbed Lishan Mountain to check the movements of the Wei army in the city.

Standing there for a long time, I saw the brightly lit Chang'an city, and the frequent mobilization of Wei troops. He sighed, "Chang'an is well connected, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep Sima Yi if we stay here. We can delay him for another three days at most!"

"I hope that Xiaochang can make immortal achievements within these seven days!"

Jiang Wei supported Zhuge Liang by the side, thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry, if you want General Ma to come here, you will be able to destroy Wei in one fell swoop."

Veteran Zhao Yun also echoed: "I think Xiaochang can do it, he never fights uncertain battles."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded and sighed for a long time before returning to his tent and ordered Zhao Yun to lead Liao Hua, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi and other generals to guard the south gate with [-] soldiers.Jiang Wei led [-] troops to guard the Weishui Road at the north gate, while he personally led [-] troops to guard the east gate, leaving only the west gate for Sima Yi to withdraw his troops.

Anyway, Luoyang is on the east side, if Sima Yi went out from the west gate, he would have to take a long detour if he wanted to go back to Luoyang.

Zhuge Liang also wanted to trap Sima Yi to death in Chang'an City, but he was powerless.

Chang'an is a big city. The Wei army still has 16 soldiers in the city, while the Shu army has only [-]. This number of troops is not enough to trap it.Double can only attack it, not encircle it.

Therefore, what Zhuge Liang can do is to delay Sima Yi's withdrawal as much as possible, and create enough time for Ma Su to break the capital of Wei, capture Cao Rui, and destroy Cao Wei.

Of course, even if Ma Di's plan to destroy Wei failed this time, the Kingdom of Shu could still occupy Guanzhong and become a strong Qin.But if the plan fails, Ma Di may not be able to come back.

On the second day, Sima Yi did not choose to withdraw his troops, but silently watched the Shu army outside the east gate from the city tower slowly unfolding their formation, posing a posture ready to fight at any time.

Xia Houba was able to lead an army of [-] to go east last night, because he could only gather so many troops in a hurry.By the time the remaining [-] troops were all assembled, Zhuge Liang had deployed heavy troops outside the east gate overnight.

Sima Yi even once suspected that Zhuge Liang didn't deploy heavy troops at the east gate in the first place, just to make it easier for him to withdraw his troops, and then easily take down a complete and populous city of Chang'an.

After seeing the strength of the army, Sima Yi turned back to the city, and went to the secret room with his two sons to discuss countermeasures.

In front of his two excellent sons, he has never been a domineering person.Whenever there is a war, Sima Yi is willing to discuss with his two sons.

"Father, the east gate is already guarded by heavy troops, and the north gate has only [-] Shu troops under Jiang Wei's command. Do you want to concentrate your forces and rush over them!" Master Sima said sharply, "Growing a force advantage in some areas, it should be possible to go out of the city to make an assault. There were good gains."

Sima Yi waved his hands ponderingly, "Since we want to withdraw our troops, we must first preserve our strength. A bloody battle is unwise."

Sima Zhao said dejectedly: "Withdraw the army, how to withdraw? The east gate is guarded."

Sima Yi didn't blame the second son for his lack of status, and said patiently: "Instead of withdrawing troops and busying yourself in vain, it's better to sit in Chang'an and wait for the news..."

The second son was shocked when he heard the words: "Could it be that father has no intention of withdrawing the army to rescue him?"

Sima Yi sighed: "Of course."

Master Sima thought for a while and said, "Father is worried that Wei will die before the soldiers return to Luoyang?"

Sima Yi glanced at the eldest son with relief, "It's not that I don't want to rescue you. I guess the four generals under Ma Su's command who led the surprise attack on Luoyang are the four generals under Ma Di's command. The one who trapped His Majesty at the foot of Shouyang Mountain must be Ma Su and Wei Yan. These two are both civil and military. It's amazing." It's unpredictable. Then Cao Shuang is just a mediocre person, how can he resist these two?"

"I'm afraid that within three days, Your Majesty will fall into the hands of Ma and Wei. In this way, returning to the army to rescue him will not be a waste of time. Rather than being busy, it is better to sell for a price. Anyway, for the sake of father and mother Then Zhuge Liang has the grace of life, and my Sima family is a powerful family in this world, if Shu wants to rule the world, how can they treat me badly?"

When the second son heard the words, he suddenly realized.

Master Sima's eyes lit up, and he said inferences: "Father, if Your Majesty is still safe after three days, our army can send our troops to the east and destroy the horses at the foot of Mang Mountain, so as to save him!"

"A child can be taught..." Sima Yi nodded with a smile, and then instructed the two of them, "Remember this statement and don't spread it outside."

The two nodded in response.
