The Three Kingdoms

Only the footsteps of groups of patrolling soldiers could be heard.

Chinese army tent.

There is a bit of a ceasefire and a bright atmosphere inside, and the atmosphere is awe-inspiring.

Cao Cao wore a brocade robe with dragon patterns, and sat cross-legged in the first place with his long hair in a bun. His fists were slightly clenched, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were sharp and cold like swords. Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, it's only a day's difference, we can cooperate inside and outside, break through Chang'an in one fell swoop, and regain Guanzhong, but you let Gu feel a little disappointed!"

Still a step too late.

They had already discussed that as long as Sima Yi supported Ma Xiu to ascend the throne, Sima Yi would be able to control all the troops in Chang'an.

Hedong has calmed down now, as long as Wei State captures Chang'an again, Liang State will collapse directly. As for Xiliang, it can be obtained without any effort. What a good plan.

As a result, the situation in Chang'an City changed drastically with just one day's difference.

Now that Ma Chao has captured Chang'an, the city of Chang'an has high walls and thick walls, and Ma Chao has at least [-] troops in his hands.If he is ruthless enough, it will be no problem to gather [-] soldiers and horses.

If he sticks to Chang'an, the Wei army will not only have to increase its troops in this battle.And without three to five months, it is impossible to fight at all.

After all, Chang'an was the former capital, and Liangguo also stored a lot of food and grass. If it was defended, a hundred thousand troops would attack.It will take several months of fighting to surround them to death.

"My lord, this battle is due to the incompetence of my subordinates, and my subordinates are willing to accept the crime, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Sima Yi bit his lip, knelt down on his knees, and lowered his head. These years, he has been smooth sailing, and he has played a Liangguo in his hands.Even Ma Teng, a Xiliang hero, was plotted to death by him.

This is his first fiasco.

"Forget it, get up!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his gaze flickered, he stared at the young man, took a deep breath, and said, "I will record this defeat for you. After the war, you can tell Gu about the situation in Chang'an City now!"

It's not that he doesn't want to punish Sima Yi, it's just that he thought about it carefully, Sima Yi's defeat is for Wei Guo.Not necessarily a bad thing.

When Sima Yi was defeated, the power representing the Guanzhong family also lost.

Although he was a little disappointed, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Sima Yi is still young, and one or two defeats are a matter of course. We cannot deny his ability based on this alone. Even now, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, who Cao Cao relies on the most, dare not say that he can compete on the battlefield. Absolutely undefeated.

Sima Yi's defeat in Chang'an.The power in Guanzhong is too much to toss, so there is no need to worry too much about Wei Guo staying in Guanzhong in the future.

"Report to Your Majesty, Chang'an City is now completely controlled by Ma Chao, and Ma Chao has at least [-] troops!"

Sima Yi heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, cupped his hands and reported: "Although my subordinates managed to capture Ma Xiu, it may not be easy to counterattack Chang'an!"

"Is Matthew useful?" Cao Cao asked.

"Your Majesty, Guanzhong has been ruled by the Liang Kingdom for many years. Even if it is not deeply rooted, there is some popular support. With Ma Xiu, the Wei Army can justifiably attack Chang'an!" Sima Yi said.

These days, when troops are sent to attack a place, there will always be a name, the so-called teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and the people's will.

"Can he cooperate with Wei Guo?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked lightly.

"My lord, he's just a lost dog now, and he can only cooperate with us!"

Sima Yi said confidently: "This subordinate can catch him!"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao nodded, with a fighting spirit in his expression, and said: "After the army is isolated, the troops will come to the city tomorrow and attack the city the day after tomorrow, Wei Duan!"

"The end is here!"

Hearing this, Wei Duan quickly stood up and knelt down on one knee.

"You are the vanguard in this battle, do you have any objections?" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

Wei Duan's complexion changed slightly, but seeing Cao Cao's eyes that were as sharp as swords, his whole body trembled, he didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly took orders.

Even if this is a cannon fodder task, it must be done at any cost.

The two accidents in Hedong and Chang'an have already greatly reduced the influence of the Guanzhong family in the Cao Wei camp. Without credit, there is no influence.

"very good!"

Cao Cao laughed. Among these people from the Guanzhong family, there are a few who can be used, but Wei Duan is the only one who can be a general: "Let me tell you, where should we launch the attack on Chang'an City?"

"Could you take advantage of Ma Chao's failure to stand firm and let the cavalry make a surprise attack?"

"If you want to make a surprise attack, it will take at least one day. In terms of time, it is enough for Ma Chao to stabilize Chang'an, no!"

"Will the south be easier to attack?"

"..."

Inside the camp, a group of generals began to discuss how to capture Chang'an City. Chang'an City is strong, and it is very difficult to take it down. They currently have insufficient troops.

"Your Majesty, Ma Chao has at least [-] soldiers and horses. Including Chang'an City, our strength is not enough!" A general pointed out.

It is impossible for [-] troops to capture Chang'an, which is guarded by Ma Chao's nearly [-] troops. The only way is to increase troops, and there are tens of thousands of troops in Hedong!

"Come here, send Gu's order immediately, let Guo Jia lead the army south within ten days!"

Cao Cao thought for a while, and this is a fact. You can't rely on luck before the battle. For a real battle, you still need reinforcements. However, he still wants a quick victory, so he asked Guo Jia to speed up to go south.

"promise!"

The messenger quickly walked out of the tent, got on his horse, and went to the east of the river to pass the order.

"Do you have a way to lure Ma Chao out of the city?"

Cao Cao looked at the city gates of Chang'an on the marching map. They were all tall and large, and they were blocked by the guard river.

"It's hard!"

The generals shook their heads.

No one thought that Ma Chao would give up Chang'an City at this time, and then fight the Wei army.

"Your Majesty, Ma Chao is not stupid. He knows very well that once he leaves the city, he will definitely lose this battle. He can only keep Chang'an if he defends the city!" Sima Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, at this time, he is a fool, and he also understands that only by sticking to it can he block the lone front!"

Cao Cao sighed. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be so foolish as to abandon the city and fight.
