Tian Yan

Soldiers are precious and fast, after Sima Yi took the order, he did not stop too much in Xuchang, and dispatched troops to the west the next day.

Sima Shi Sima Zhao also wanted to join the battle, Sima Yi thought again and again, and only brought Sima Shi with him, which made Sima Zhao very unhappy.

Pressing Xuchang's side, the army suffered heavy losses before attacking Shu, and the defeated general Cao Xiu led the troops to retreat to Xieziguan.The Kingdom of Shu had grasped Cao Xiu's arrogant temperament, and sent people to yell and scold him in front of the pass every day. Cao Xiu was defeated several times and suffered heavy losses.

When Sima Yi arrived, he faced such a mess.

Morale is low, wounded are everywhere, medicine is in short supply... Sima Yi sighed, if this battle is to continue, the only way to go is to fight a war of attrition.

The army of the Kingdom of Shu went out of Qishan and attacked from afar, so the supplies must be insufficient, and it must not last long.

It's just that although Cao Xiu was defeated, he was the clan of the Wei State after all, and he was very arrogant. Sima Yi thought to himself that he was not completely sure that he could be restrained.Moreover, closing the city without this style of play will easily make the soldiers feel aggrieved. When someone incites them under the banner of the Great Wei, the consequences will be disastrous.

So Sima Yi issued a strict order to retreat to Yongliang on the supply line, and anyone who opened the city without authorization would be killed regardless of their status.

Cao Xiu was demoted to one level because of the defeat, and now Sima Yi is sitting in the seat of the Great Governor, and he can't help but feel aggrieved when he stands at the bottom. Sima Yi sees all this.

Cao Xiu, sooner or later there will be trouble.

Sima Yi had just finished explaining the affairs, and only listened to the report from outside the account: "The Shu army is calling for battle at the city again!"

"Go and see!"

Sima Yi got up, and the generals followed behind. A group of people boarded the city wall, and saw that the crossbowmen at the top of the city were already in a defensive posture.

Under the city, the Shu army stopped a shot away, and it seemed that they did not plan to attack the city, but sent a few fierce soldiers to provoke and shout in front of the battle.

Sima Yi listened carefully, and found that although the swearing was vulgar, it was nothing more than a shrinking turtle or something, and it was nothing new to repeat it over and over again.It's just that the people around couldn't listen anymore, they were gearing up and clamoring for a fight.

"Look, that's the new governor Cao Zei sent?"

Sima Yi, who was dressed in silver armor at the top of the city, attracted the attention of the Shu army. There was a commotion in the city, and someone laughed obscenely and said loudly: "No wonder he shrinks like a bird's egg. It turns out that Cao Wei's man is dead, so he sent such a beautiful woman!" Mother, hahahahaha!"

General Wei, the head of the city, was furious when he heard this, Cao Xiu scolded his mother, and picked up the guy and was about to fight.Sima Yi stopped him sharply: "Come back!"

Cao Xiu gritted his silver teeth: "Sima Yi, don't stop me!"

"I'll tell you to come back!" Sima Yi waved his hand, and soldiers on the left and right immediately stopped Cao Xiu.

"If you want to fight, you can," Sima Yi said coldly, "Go fight alone, don't drag so many brothers to accompany you to death in vain!"

"Get out of the way and let General Cao go out of the city to fight."

The soldiers stepped aside, Cao Xiu was provoked by Sima Yi, he really was advancing or retreating, so he simply drank a bowl of wine and went to fight alone.

"This..." All the generals were shocked, "Great Governor, do you want to fight?"

Sima Yi looked at the city: "Cao Xiu will die if he goes here, and the Army of the Dead can't control him. If any of you want to go with him, you can go by yourself."

"Cough!" Hearing the words, the generals had no choice but to give up. Only a few of Cao Xiu's followers followed him.

Needless to say about the battle situation, Cao Xiu was just gambling. Seeing that Sima Yi was so cruel that he didn't care about his life or death, he despaired. After beheading several people, he himself was surrounded.

Sima Yi looked almost the same, and if he remained indifferent, he might chill the hearts of the other soldiers: "Zhang Liao."

"The end is here!"

"You lead fifty light cavalry, just rescue Cao Xiu and return to the city, don't love to fight."

"Yes!"

Although Zhang Liao was getting old, he was still old-fashioned. Fifty Qingqi broke the formation of the Shu army like a ghost, picked up Cao Xiu and withdrew, and did not let the Shu army take advantage of it.

Cao Xiu was covered in blood, and he didn't know where he was injured, so he could only kneel up reluctantly with the support of soldiers.

Sima Yi stepped forward slowly and looked around at the generals: "Who else wants to fight?"

All the generals hurriedly lowered their heads, saying nothing.

Sima Yi smiled satisfied: "That's good, guard the city well, and you will make great achievements!"

"Yes!"

The generals were about to disperse, but someone slipped his foot and fell forward, just hitting Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu was already seriously injured, but this time his ribs were directly inserted into his lungs, and he lay prone on the ground vomiting blood, and he lost his breath after a while.

"Who did it!"

The soldier who fell was so frightened that he peed his pants: "It's not me...someone tripped my feet..."

When the incident happened suddenly, Sima Yi broke out in a cold sweat: "Carry it down."

Cao Xiu's body was quickly carried away, Sima Yi hurried down to the city, Sima Shi hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Father commander, are you alright?"

Sima Yi lowered his head and glanced at his feet: "Your shoelaces are untied, and there are footprints on the shoe, hurry up and get rid of it."

Master Sima quickly knelt down to tidy up, and Sima Yi let out a sigh of relief: "What did you do?"

"Ah?" Sima Shi raised his face, "What's the matter?"

Sima Yi also squatted down: "Didn't Dad teach you not to play dumb when you shouldn't?"

Master Sima lowered his head, his eyelashes fluttered: "Father, you won't blame me..."

Sima Yi stared at the eldest son for a long time, then bent down and tied his shoelaces himself: "He died well."

Sima Shi grinned, but Sima Yi didn't have a smile in his eyes: "You tripped others, didn't they see you?"

"No, they are all staring at father and Cao Xiu."

"That's good." Sima Yi pulled him up and walked forward holding hands, "Master, please remember, killing is for not killing, fighting is for not fighting, and don't forget to weigh in everything you do."

"I remember, Dad." Master Sima nodded, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Dad, look quickly, what a beautiful sun."

Sima Yi raised his eyes, only to see the setting sun like blood slowly falling into the mountains.

Just like what he saw in Xiliang many years ago, that blood-like pure red.

The death of Cao Xiu established Sima Yi's authority in the army, and no one dared to comment on his stick to the policy for a while.Seeing that the provocation was ineffective, the Shu army knew that the food and grass were not as good as Wei's and could not fight a war of attrition, but it would not be easy to break through Yongliang City, so they tried their best to let Wei's army fight.

Zhuge Liang, the coach of the Shu Army, Sima Yi is no stranger to this military adviser, although it is his first time to lead the army.

Zhuge Liang, the founder of the Kingdom of Shu, was very wise but close to a demon.

Sima Yi had seen Zhuge Liang from afar on the top of the city, and he saw that he was about the same age as himself, with a beautiful face and beard, and he looked like he was planning strategies.

Zhuge Liang saw him and cupped his fists at him from a distance, but Sima Yi could see something different on his face.

It was a kind of unemotional and playful gaze, which he had seen many times on Cao Cao's face.This kind of gaze appeared on Zhuge Liang, which made Sima Yi inexplicably uncomfortable.

When night fell, the Shu army sent envoys to give Sima Yi a gift box.Opening it, there was a set of fiery red wedding dress inside, and there was also a letter written by Zhuge Liang inside.

——I want to get to know you, but you haven't seen him for a long time. It's better to leave the pavilion early and share the joy of fish and water.

Sima Yi's complexion darkened, and he tore the letter paper into pieces a few times, but the envoy reluctantly unfolded his female attire: "Could it be that the governor is dissatisfied with the gift from the prime minister?"

Sima Yi looked around at the generals in the tent with a gloomy face: "Are you satisfied?"

The soldiers had already endured enough, and they drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another: "Not satisfied!"

Sima Yi raised his hand to stop the commotion in the tent, and paused for a moment, just staring at the messenger, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Look at the stitching and fabric, they are all first-class Shu embroidery." Sima Yi took the women's dress and displayed it in his hands, "Satisfied, we are very satisfied."

"If the governor really likes it, please wear it," to make an inch of it, "this way, it will appear sincere."
