Cao Shuang said: "Sima Yi and I received orders from the late Emperor Cao Rui. Now that he is not rude, how can I betray him?" He replied: "Have you forgotten that when Sima Yi and your father resisted the Northern Expedition army together? , often suffered from anger, so that he fell seriously ill and died, doesn't the Lord know that?"
Cao Shuang suddenly realized after hearing this, so he discussed with other confidants and went to report to Cao Fang, the leader of Wei, and said: "Sima Yi is highly virtuous and respected, so he can be appointed as Taifu!" Cao Fang felt that it made sense. One of them was his relative, and the other was. He was a relative and was very good at leading troops in war. He quickly implemented it. In this way, Sima Yi's military power was gone. When Cao Shuang got the military power, he appointed his younger brother Cao Xi as the leader of the army and Cao Xun as the general of the military guard. Cao Yan served as the regular attendant of Sanqi. Each of them led three thousand imperial troops, and then entered and exited the forbidden palace at will. He also appointed He Yan, Deng Yang, and Ding Mi as ministers, all as Sili school captains, and Li Sheng as Henan Yin. These were Cao Shuang's His confidants were discussing various matters with Cao Shuang every day, and Cao Shuang had more and more guests.
It is said that after Sima Yi participated in Tuogu, he immediately returned home and summoned his two sons to discuss the Western Shu army's attack on the Central Plains. He pointed at the map and said: "Now the prime minister of Western Shu, Yu Yi, led the army to fight from Xiangyang, and Huang Shumin came from Jingzhou. The Southern Group went to war, and Jiang Wei’s Northern Expedition army reached Qishan Mountain and was attacked on three sides!”
Master Sima said: "Not only that, the bandits took advantage of my father's expedition to Liaodong and attacked first. They have captured Fancheng and other places. Now they have arrived near Wancheng. If they are not resisted in time, the entire Central Plains may be in danger!"
Sima Zhao laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "Brother, there is no need to worry so much!"
Master Sima saw that Sima Zhao was still laughing at this time and said: "Brother, the enemy is almost coming to the door of our house, how can you still laugh?"
Sima Yi knew that Sima Zhao must have some ideas and said, "Tell me about it!"
Sima Zhao pointed to the map and said: "To the east of Jingzhou Nanjun is Jiangxia, which is the territory of Soochow. Although there are three armies from Western Shu, we can ignore Huang Shumin's route."
After hearing this, Master Sima felt strange and said, "Although Huang Shumin of Xishu is a woman, she still has some tactics. How can she let her go unchecked?"
He replied: "Now that the Three Kingdoms are at a standstill, and Xishu sends troops to us, we naturally have to worry about Soochow. The war has been declared for so long, and Huang Shumin's army has been stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River without crossing the river. This is not to attack us, but to prevent Soochow from sneak attacks!"
Sima Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, when Soochow attacked Jingzhou and Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, Xishu later distrusted Soochow!" Sima Zhao's words were truly passed down by Sima Yi. He was very satisfied and continued Said: "So Zhao'er, there are only two armies now, where should we go?"
Sima Zhao said: "What's so difficult about this? Jiang Wei is the descendant of Kong Ming, and he will definitely insist on the tactics of leaving Qishan. As long as we order the Wei army to guard the key roads and are not allowed to attack, the Western Shu Northern Expeditionary Army will naturally retreat without food and grass. We Naturally, I choose to confront Yu Yi, the Prime Minister of Western Shu!"
Sima Yi smiled and nodded, and ordered: "From now on, everyone will follow me to resist the attack of the Western Shu bandits." So the Wei army headed for Wancheng.
It is said that Yuyi occupied Wancheng for a week. Since Wancheng's defenses were strong, Yuyi attacked day and night in order to fight quickly. He spent a lot of money to capture Wancheng. After appeasing the people, he got the news of Sima Yi's return, so he Waiting in Wancheng, while consolidating the popular support of the newly occupied city.
At this time, Yu Yi's children have all grown up. Since Yu Daye has been guarding Chengdu all year round, there are many beauties there, and it is inevitable that they will be sensual and sensual. In order to prevent his son from falling into depravity, Yu Yi took him with him on this expedition, which happened to be Yu Daye's martial arts. Not bad, but also to test his courage so that he can be independent in the future.
Xiao Ju's son, Yu Yongqi, was a lover of politics and had good eloquence, so Yu Yi stayed in Jingzhou to guard it to facilitate the implementation of his will.
Among the other daughters, Yu Sisi has married someone else. Because of the corruption case, she has not remarried since her husband died and lives alone. As for the other two younger daughters, one is Yu Jingwen and the other is Yu Qing. Qing, the two have average talents, but they are better at taking care of others. The most talented among them is Yu Zekai, Huang Ruier's son. He likes both martial arts and strategy. Yu Yi specially hired an expert from outside the world as his teacher. Expectations are also the highest.
Yu Yi didn't wait for news from Jiang Wei, so he prepared to make a video call to ask. Suddenly Yu Daye came back. It turned out that he was sent out to inspect the situation.
Yuyi asked: "What's wrong?"
He replied: "Sima Yi took his two sons and came to Wancheng!"
After hearing this, Yu Yi nodded and said: "He is the one I am waiting for. Pass me the command. The three armies will be under martial law. The city gates will be closed. We will build fortifications and wait for the enemy to arrive."
Sima Yi led the men and horses gathered in the Central Plains to attack 400,000 people, and the leading force was 200,000 people. They rushed towards Wancheng and quickly reached the city.
Sima Yi walked in front and shouted towards the city wall: "Let your prime minister come out and answer!"
Soon Yu Yi appeared on the city wall, looked at an old man riding a white horse below, and said with a smile: "Old thief Sima, long time no see, how are you?"
Sima Yi pointed at Yu Yi and said with a smile: "In the past, your Prime Minister of Western Shu, Kong Ming, was no match for me after all. He died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. I could have razed your Western Shu to the ground and left you to survive, but you didn't understand the destiny and still... If we try to attack forcefully, I’m afraid we’ll be seeking death!”
Yu Yi smiled and said: "We in Xishu are Han Dynasty orthodox, people-centered, and insist on liberating the Central Plains and killing the rebels. The former Prime Minister Kong Ming played tricks on you Zhongda many times, whether it was an empty city strategy or an ambush. It makes you tremble, but you are here to confuse right and wrong, are you ashamed?"
Sima Yi was furious and ordered his soldiers to attack the city, so the Wei army surrounded Wancheng on all sides. Yu Yi ordered the city gates to be closed tightly. The archers shot arrows and those who knew how to throw knives directly threw their knives. Since the Wei army did not dare to approach.
Whenever Yu Daye encountered the situation of being surrounded by enemies, he always surrounded others. He quickly came to Yu Yi and asked for instructions: "Father, please give me five thousand soldiers and horses. I will go and bring Sima Yi's head." !”
Yu Yi shook his head and said: "The enemy has 400,000 soldiers and horses. If you go with 5,000 soldiers and horses, what good can you do?"
Yu Daye said: "But being surrounded like this is not a long-term solution!"
Yu Yi said: "If I say no, I just can't."
After hearing this, Yu Daye felt a little aggrieved and depressed, and said: "You didn't take care of me much when I was a child, but now that I have grown up, you are strict with me. Are you absolutely right?"
Yu Yi was very angry after hearing this. They had quarreled many times over strategic issues, so he followed the military law and said: "If you must bring five thousand soldiers and horses to fight, you can, but you must issue a military order!"
In fact, Yu Daye also knew that going out with 5,000 soldiers and horses would not be effective, but he became anxious, patted his chest and said, "If you don't dare, I can issue a military order!"
So the matter was settled. Yu Yi approved five thousand soldiers and horses, while Yu Daye chose the third watch to take five thousand soldiers and horses to attack the Wei army camp.
