Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 7 Never Seen Such a Steady Person
Tianshui County, under Shangyu City.

Zhuge Liang is leading an army here to besiege Guo Huai, governor of Yongzhou.

Yang Yi, who joined the army, took the letter straight into the commander's account and said: "Prime Minister, Wang Ping sent someone to send the picture book of Jieting."

Zhuge Liang quickly took the letter and put it on the case to read.

After seeing the terrain of the street pavilion shown in the picture and the deployment of the Han army's troops, he immediately became furious and denounced: "Ma Di stationed troops on the mountain and did not set up camp on the road. If Zhang He's troops arrive, he will surround the mountain and cut off the water. The way, within two days, our army will be in chaos without fighting...cough...cough cough..."

Hearing this, Yang Yi was also shocked, "Prime...Prime Minister..."

Zhuge Liang was trembling with anger, coughing and coughing continuously: "If the Wei army lit fire along the mountain again, wouldn't my army..."

Yang Yi hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, take care,"

Zhuge Liang sat back in the commander's seat, waved his hands, and signaled that he was fine, and shook his head remorsefully: "Ma Di is ignorant, and he has harmed our army..."

Yang Yi hurriedly cupped her hands and said: "Prime Minister, although Yi is not talented, I would like to rush to Jieting immediately and return Ma to join the army."

Seeing that Yang Yi, who also joined the army, volunteered to go to Jieting to take the place of Ma Di, Zhuge Liangliang nodded, held the former's hand tightly, and said: "Okay, when you arrive at Jieting, immediately withdraw the army to the intersection. Build a stronghold in the way, set up a stronghold in the right way!"

Yang Yi withdrew her hand and bowed solemnly: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Yang Yi has gone!"

Zhuge Liang was still worried, and he urged Yin Yin: "After you arrive at Jieting, join forces with General Wang Ping to defend against the enemy together!"

Yang Yi took the order, turned around and walked, and when she reached the tent door, she bumped head-on with a person.

After stabilizing his figure, he raised his head and saw that it was the left general Wu Yi. He was startled for a moment, and thought to himself:

This person came to see the prime minister at this time, is he trying to steal my job?

Wu Yi pushed aside Yang Yi, rushed to Zhuge Liang in two big strides, presented the letter in his hand, and said, "Prime Minister, Ma Di also sent someone to send a picture book of Jieting, and a handwritten letter."

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang was astonished, quickly took the picture book, and looked at it carefully.

I saw the topography of the street pavilion with a radius of ten miles vividly on the paper, and the arrangement and number of enemy and enemy soldiers and horses everywhere are clear and clear at a glance.

This picture alone is much more detailed than the street pavilion picture book sent by Wang Ping.

It can be seen that he has used his heart.

Seeing that the map indicated that Wang Ping's troops stationed in Xishan had 5000 people, while Ma Di had only placed [-] people on Nanshan, Zhuge Liang felt at ease, and first waved his hand to signal Yang Yi not to move, and opened the letter to read it. , I saw above wrote:
"Su has been familiar with military books since he was a child. He has fought with the prime minister for a long time, and he also knows the benefits and disadvantages of setting up a stronghold. Now camping on the mountain, I really have no choice."

"Wei army has [-] cavalry, good at land warfare, and it is very difficult to control; our army is small, and Su is in command for the first time. His prestige has not been established, and the army's morale is not uniform. I am afraid that he will not be the opponent of Zhang He, a veteran of many battles. And Jieting River Valley The terrain is flat and open, and there is no city to rely on. After thinking about it again and again, I decided that camping on the top of the mountain was the best strategy."

"In order to prevent the Wei army from cutting off my way of drawing water, I have ordered soldiers to store enough water for two months on the top of the mountain; in order to prevent the Wei army from setting fire to the mountain, I have ordered people to cut down all the trees in the southern mountain to make wooden barrels, camps, The fence and firewood are all stored on the mountain."

"It is expected that within half a month, Zhang Yun will not try to steal the street pavilion."

"What I am concerned about now is that after the arrival of 10 troops from the Wei army, they will split up and rush to help Longxi. The two generals, Wei and Wang, have few troops and may not be able to stop them. I hope that after the Prime Minister captures Shangyu City, he will personally lead the army to come. Decisive battle with Zhang He. I think that the victory of this Northern Expedition is not in other places, only in Jieting. If Jieting wins, the counties in Longxi will decide on their own without fighting. I sincerely hope that the Prime Minister will observe it."

After reading the manuscript, Zhuge Liang was stunned, speechless for a long time.

Can war be fought like this?

Jedi is not absolute, death is immortal.

This is Ma Su's first command of the army, he is so cautious, as stable as a veteran who has fought a hundred battles, without showing a single flaw!

Think of him, Zhuge Liang, who fought all his life in the north and south, and claimed to be extremely cautious, but he has never seen anyone who is more cautious than him before.

I was lucky enough to meet you today.

So solid!

How could Ma Di be so stable?

Not only was he thoughtful, he took a look around, but he also made a good move.

Obviously he sent Ma Di to defend the street pavilion, and Ma Su was the first person responsible for guarding the street pavilion. Now after reading the letter, the important task of defending the street pavilion suddenly became the responsibility of him, the commander of the three armies.

If Ma Su lost Jieting, it was because he, the commander of the three armies, did not raise troops to go to the decisive battle.

Such a treacherous vanguard will... What's the use of coming!

Zhuge Liang was very unhappy.

Moreover, the letter also stated that the victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition was only in Jieting, not elsewhere.

The implication of this is clearly alluding to him, the commander of the three armies, not doing business and just beating him up.In the words, there are many suspicions that the subordinates have committed crimes and instructed him, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, to do things.

For a moment, Zhuge Liang was so angry that he could hardly suppress it.

However, it quickly calmed down.

Yang Yi turned back and asked tentatively, "Prime Minister?"

Do you want to replace this street pavilion guard?

Zhuge Liang handed Ma Di's letter to Yang Yi, and after the latter read it, he sighed and said, "There's no need to go, Jieting is fine for the time being."

While talking, Jiang Wei quickly walked in from outside the tent, took out a special secret letter from his arms, and said, "Prime Minister, Guo Huai, governor of Yongzhou, is in dire straits, and sent someone to seek help from Xu Miao, governor of Liangzhou. The messenger has been intercepted by the General."

Things happened one after another, and people had no time to relax.

Jieting Wuyou, Zhuge Liang also regained his wise demeanor, took the letter and read it, and fell silent.

Jiang Wei said again: "Prime Minister, there will be a plan in the end. You can tell Xu Miao to throw himself into the trap, and Shangyu City will be destroyed without attack!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Wei, smiled and said: "What a wonderful plan, Boyue tell me quickly."

When Jiang Wei saw Zhuge Liang's expression, he knew that the two of them wanted to go together, he was immediately encouraged, and spoke out loudly what was on his mind.

This strategy is very simple to say, just eight words: besiege the city to fight for aid, and wait for work with ease.

……

On the other side, Jieting.

The Shu army has been guarding Nanshan for three days.

For the past three days, the soldiers of the Shu army shouted loudly down the mountain every day, taunted the Wei army, and greeted Zhang Yun's eighteenth generation ancestors in various ways, in order to attract the Wei army to attack the mountain.

Ma Di, the general, hid in a secluded place, writing and drawing on the ground, deducing the situation.

He was deducing Zhuge Liang's true goal of the Northern Expedition and how likely it was to achieve it.

According to what Zhuge Liang said in the "Dispatch of Teachers", the ultimate goal of this Northern Expedition is to restore the Han Dynasty and set the Central Plains in the north.

But this goal is too big to be achieved in one step, so before departure, Zhuge Liang divided the plan into three stages.

The first stage is to occupy Guanzhong, that is, to occupy the Weihe Plain centered on Chang'an.Standing high in the west and facing down in the east, and then grasp the initiative in the war, advance, attack, retreat and defend, learn from the Qin Dynasty far away, learn from Liu Bang nearer, conquer the Central Plains, and revive the quintessence of the Han Dynasty.

But this goal is still a bit big, and it is difficult to achieve it in one step.

So Zhuge Liang decided to divide the goal of this first stage into three steps.

The first step is to occupy the five counties of Longxi; the second step is to attack Liangzhou; the third step is to march into Guanzhong.

Looking closely at Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition march route, it is not difficult to see that the target of this troop dispatch is not at all the Guanzhong Plain centered on Chang'an.

Because there are four roads from Hanzhong to Chang'an: Ziwu Road, Tangluo Road, Baoxie Road, and Chencang Old Road.However, Zhuge Liang did not take any of these roads, but took the Longxi Avenue further west.

Strictly speaking, Longxi Road is not a road to Guanzhong at all, but a road to Longxi and even Liangzhou.

Therefore, the strategic goal of the Shu army's Northern Expedition is already obvious.

That is all according to Longxi.
