Han counter current

Under the dilemma, all Sima Yi can do is divide the troops.However, the division of troops is also particular, especially, this division of troops must not be brought to the surface.

Indeed, many people in Yizhou are unwilling to see that his Sima family has too many troops. After all, as an outsider, he is a threat to those local forces after all. Even if Sima Yi has lowered his stance, he should give The benefits are all given.

Sima Yi knew this truth very well. He didn't want to offend those Yizhou local powers yet, but at the same time, he was even more unwilling to give up the capital of the Sima family's livelihood.

"Shu Da, come and take a look. This is a map I sent someone to draw recently. It shows the layout of our army, Xu Huang's army, Yizhou defenders, and the Nanman army.

Our army is now in Wuling. Outsiders only know that our army has about 7000 men, but they don't know that our army actually has more than [-]. In addition, there are still [-] civilians and young adults in our army. The enemy must have not inquired. arrived.

I intend to use these [-] civilians and young men to replace [-] troops, and your task is to lead these [-] elites, bring enough food, grass and supplies, and thousands of craftsmen and their families to enter Shu in batches from Fuling.

The total number of people you took away will not be many, but it is related to the future of our Sima family, so we must be careful and remember, these people you took away are the foundation of our Sima family.

Then, you can be divided into several groups, occupying the mountain as king in the name of bandits and bandits, and echo each other. If the Yizhou army comes to invade, you can fight together and use the advantages of the mountains and rivers to defeat the enemy.

After that, your task is to lead the troops to infiltrate to the south, try to get in touch with the leaders of the Nanban, send them various treasures and materials, and try to join hands with them to create troubles in the south. "

Sima Yi pointed to the map and began to explain. Although the situation in front of him was severe, it was not difficult for him. Moreover, after entering Shu, he still needed some opportunities to strengthen his strength, so he had to make preparations now.

Sima Fu is also a smart person, and he immediately heard other meanings from Sima Yi's words. Soon, he understood the benefits of dividing troops, especially those areas on the map that had not yet shown their strength, which were simply the bases they could rely on for survival.

"Brother, do you want me to lead people to take root in this area? In this way, brother can safely enter Chengdu. As long as the opportunity is right, I will create chaos in the south. No matter who comes to put down the chaos, I will lead the army to fight against it.

Hey, until someone recommends his brother to Liu Zhang, then he will lead a large army and a large amount of food and supplies to fight. As long as he operates properly, he will be able to control the military power.

At that time, my brother can support the bandits and separate himself from one side, and the south is close to Jingnan. The spies left by our army in the Jingnan area can pass on the information to us. Once the opportunity is right, our army can go east to attack the Jingnan area. .

There is also the Jiaozhou side. Although the situation is unclear at the moment, these places are indeed the best choice for us to settle down. However, brother, in this way, [-] soldiers and horses seem not enough. "

Sima Yi nodded. Although his brother was not as talented as him, he was very flexible. It was indeed the best choice for him to lead some people to station outside.

"Yes, [-] soldiers and horses are indeed not enough, so no matter what, we can't give up our strength. Right now, you can only take away [-] soldiers and horses. If there are more, I won't be able to hold on here.

After all, Xu Huang has 2 soldiers at his disposal, so don't underestimate him. He is not weak in commanding operations. If I don't have enough elites, I might be wiped out by him.

After entering Fuling, you can take the opportunity to expand your strength, regardless of men, women, old or young, can be included in your own system.Remember, we only need to occupy this area for a long time, so even if we are bandits, our reputation cannot be ruined.

Even, you have to take the initiative to help the local people when they are in difficulty or have food shortages, and help the local people solve their difficulties, so as to win the hearts of the local people and win the surrender of the local barbarians.

I will secretly deliver food and grass to you. As long as it works properly, it shouldn't be too difficult to expand the number of 3 to [-] horses in the south of Yizhou. After all, there are too many barbarians in the area, and their living conditions are not very good. "

"Since that's the case, then I know what to do. I will use these ten thousand troops as a foundation to develop and grow in the southern area of ​​Jingzhou to respond to my brother."

Sima Yi also took a huge risk by splitting up half of the soldiers and horses at once.Fortunately, when he was stationed in Wuling, he tried his best to recruit soldiers and horses, and set up a reserve team in the same way as Chen Feng formed an army.

Using [-] civilian husbands as a cover, and then using [-] elites to fight against Xu Huang's [-] army a few times, Sun's family will definitely suffer a lot on his side, but Xu Huang's side will definitely not be able to get good results.

In this way, it is in line with the wishes of the local aristocratic families in Yizhou. At that time, they will see Sima Yi, whom they expected to come but are very afraid of, who lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but entered Shu triumphantly.

Naturally, Sima Yi, after his strength has been greatly damaged, cannot be arrogant. There are only 4000 people left at hand, so there will be no troubles, and Liu Zhang's vigilance against him will definitely drop.

On Xu Huang's side, after annihilating tens of thousands of enemy troops, he must have lost a lot. In addition, Chen Feng has no intention of attacking Yizhou at the moment, so Xu Huang can only call a truce.

Jingnan has already fallen into his hands, and there is no need to station too many soldiers for the time being. After all, Chen Feng does not want to have a deadlock in the relationship with Yizhou.

Afterwards, Chen Feng would most likely transfer Xu Huang away, and about half of Jingzhou's local soldiers and horses would be transferred away. After they were distributed among the towns, there would be no more than three to four thousand people in the Wuling area.

In this case, Sima Fu, who has already gained a firm foothold in the south of Yizhou, can take the opportunity to encourage the Nanman tribe to plunder the south of Jingzhou, attracting the attention of the local army, and then Sima Fu can look for opportunities to expand his strength.

This series of plans can only be thought of by a master like Sima Yi.For the specific implementation, Sima Fu and other helpers are also needed to help.

In order to show his urgency to enter Shu and his loyalty to Liu Zhang, Sima Yi quickly completed the dispatch of soldiers and horses, and then commanded the soldiers and horses to attack Xu Huang's camp proactively.

The flames of war in Jingnan gradually spread. After everyone's attention was focused on Sima Yi and Xu Huang, Sima Fu led 2000 soldiers and more than [-] craftsmen to sneak away in batches. No one paid attention to them at all. Case.

On the front line, with the escalation of the war, Sima Yi couldn't resist Xu Huang's army, so he had to shrink his troops to guard the city tightly. Xu Huang, who was angered, also started to attack. The nearly [-] troops came to capture the last piece of land in Jingnan. started.

Chapter 829: Jingnan Gunpowder 2

The battle between Sima Yi and Xu Huang in Jingnan attracted the attention of Liu Zhang from Yizhou. He had always known that Chen Feng had countless generals and elite troops, but he had never seen how powerful they were.

To win Hanzhong, Chen Feng relied on coercion and temptation. The large-scale war had not yet begun, and Liu Zhang could not obtain the specific battle situation of Chen Feng in the grassland and Xiliang area, so he could only guess.

During the war in Jingzhou, Liu Bei once pushed Chen Feng into a desperate situation. Although he suffered a disastrous defeat in the end, he was able to quickly gather troops and horses to rule Jingnan. From this point of view, it seems that Chen Feng is not particularly powerful.

But soon, Chen Feng seized Huang Zu's and Liu Bei's lands one after another in one go, coercing Jiangdong Sun Quan, a series of methods made Liu Zhang have no time to react, but Chen Feng's opponents surrendered or died one by one.

Even on Jiangdong's side, Sun Quan raised all his wealth, and Zhou Yu's current military commander only caused some setbacks to the young generals under Chen Feng's command.

But now, Chen Feng, with General Xu Huang as his commander, commanded an army to guard Jingnan. On the territory adjacent to Yizhou, the two armies were fighting, and it was hard for Liu Zhang not to care.

Xu Huang's stability and Sima Yi's cunning were undoubtedly revealed on this battlefield. Although Xu Huang's side had the upper hand in terms of strength, Sima Yi, as the defensive side, made good use of the terrain.

"Report, general, our army has just captured a pass of the enemy army and wiped out more than [-] enemy troops. The rest of the enemy army fled into the mountains, and our cavalry could not annihilate them."

In the big tent, Xu Huang stared at the sand table in a daze. This is the third battle report of the day. Although he won the victory and also took down the enemy's defense pass, it was of no use to Xu Huang. .

"Every time such a pass is taken, our soldiers have to pay the lives of 500 people. This is because our army has the advantage of sharp armor and sufficient equipment.

And our army's cavalry can't launch encirclement and suppression after defeating the enemy. If this goes on and on, when will we be able to win the territory controlled by the enemy.

Moreover, the passes occupied by the enemy have seriously slowed down the speed of our army's advancement, making it difficult for our army to complete the scheduled plan, which will give the enemy more time to prepare for battle.

Hmph, each of you, don’t you usually ask for a fight? Now that the battlefield is right in front of you, you all have to use your brains and tell me what to do. We are fighting in the whole south now. If we can’t win a big victory, how can we go back and fight with you? The master waits. "

There was a trace of anger in Xu Huang's words, which was provoked by Sima Yi.These days, Sima Yi's strategy was to defend one city and one village. Although he couldn't resist Xu Huang's pace after all, it could cause Xu Huang a lot of casualties.

If things go on like this, even if Xu Huang can defeat Sima Yi, most of the soldiers and horses in his hands will be lost in the end. Such a victory is definitely not what Xu Huang wants to see.

Right now, Pang Rourou and Ma Dai are leading [-] cavalry to patrol the outer perimeter. The other generals in the tent are masters in commanding elite infantry, and Xu Huang can only place his hopes on them.

Among the crowd, there was a strong man who was exceptionally different. When Xu Huang was cursing, he closed his eyes, and when others were thinking about problems, he sneered, as if the predicament in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"Wei Yan, what the hell are you going to show me? If you have something to say, just say it. Who will you show that stinky face to? You. I personally wrote a letter to ask the lord to transfer you here, not because of your face. .

Don't continue to complain to me, the lord personally ordered that the news that you have arrived in Jingnan should not be publicized. I think the lord has his own considerations.

I admit that the [-] elite soldiers you trained in Hanzhong are really good, and they are most suitable for fighting in the mountains. This time, you have caught the opportunity. Tell me, do you have any good ideas? If it works, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service. "

The unusual general is none other than Wei Yan. He has been training troops in Hanzhong all these years. He basically failed to win the battles in the north and south. He managed to train [-] elite soldiers, but Xu Huang directly transferred [-] soldiers and set up a new army. Nothing happened to him after the great achievement.

This time he was transferred from Hanzhong, and he refused to let him take an important position. This really made Wei Yan very angry and depressed. He even felt that maybe it was because he recommended the second and fifth boy Wang Shuang back then. It made my lord unhappy.

"Warring in the mountains, if you attack each pass and pass like this, you will have to fight until the year of the monkey. Besides, the lord will probably not send us more troops. We only have 2 people. After defeating Sima Yi, we still have to guard Jingnan, beware of the Yizhou army taking advantage of the fire to loot.

Hmph, right now our army has wiped out more than [-] enemy troops, and our own casualties are no less than [-], which is already a big loss. Moreover, if we continue to advance, our army's food, grass, and supplies will be difficult to transport, and it is very likely that Sima Yi will surprise us at that time up. "

Wei Yan himself is a proud and arrogant lord, coupled with the fact that he hasn't made any military achievements in these years, his temper is even worse. Although Xu Huang is his old boss, he doesn't buy it.
