Deng Ai smiled and said: "I predict that there are five reasons why Shu troops will come out." Chen Tai asked why, and Deng Ai said: "Although the Shu troops have retreated, they are in a situation of pursuing victory, and our troops and horses also show signs of being weak and defeated. This is the first The Shu army has been led by Kong Ming for a long time. They are elite soldiers and horses, which are easy to dispatch. Our generals are always changing, and the army training is not very familiar. This is the second one. Many of the Shu army use ships as tools, and We are on land and the situation is different. This is the third one. Weinan, Jingyang, Gaoling and other places are key places and are easy to defend. Shu is attacking from the east to the west and from the south to the north. We must divide our troops to defend, but the Shu army is gathered together. Use the total force to four points against us. This is the fourth one. If the Shu army comes from the direction of Wugong and Xianyang, they can cooperate with the Qiang people and let them transport some grain and grass. If they cross from the Yellow River, then Chang'an will have enough food. This is the fifth."
Chen Tai sighed and said, "You know things like a god, so what does the Shu army have to fear?" So Chen Tai and Deng Ai became friends forever. Deng Ai gathered his troops together and prepared to station near Tongguan for a long time, training day and night. Patrol various key points to prevent the Shu army from attacking again.
It is said that Yu Yi sent someone to send a letter to Jiang Wei, planning to take advantage of the recent death of Sima Shi to send out two troops to attack the Wei State. On the one hand, he had been recuperating for many years, and his troops and horses were strong and ready for an attack. On the other hand, Wu The relationship between the two countries has just been repaired, and the new monarch is in power and young, so the probability of a sneak attack on Jingzhou is low. Third, he has been sitting in Jingzhou for a long time. He obviously feels that all aspects are deteriorating. He wants to complete the task earlier. Finally, he wants to test the situation of evil forces. See what it's doing.
Soon Jiang Wei's reply came, and Yu Yi felt that Jiang Wei's words in the letter were very soft, and the relationship had obviously eased a lot.
So Yu Yi, as the commander-in-chief, sent Xu Da as the left vanguard, Yu Yongqi as the right vanguard, Zhou Qiao as Jijiu, and sent 200,000 troops to prepare for the attack on Wei.
Sima Zhao had just returned to Luoyang, and Sima Shi had not yet fully established his authority in the court. Suddenly the emperor summoned him and announced the matter.
Sima Zhao just smiled slightly, with a hint of evil in his eyes, which frightened Emperor Wei. He said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of this matter!" He didn't look back after saying that. Gone away.
Emperor Wei was obedient. After Sima Zhao left, he sat on the ground and quickly helped him up. Emperor Wei said, "Do you think Sima Zhao is a little weird?"
He replied: "No." After saying that, he showed a strange expression. Emperor Wei had no choice but to be helped into the inner hall.
After Sima Zhao came out, he quickly gathered everyone to discuss and said: "Now the Shu Kingdom has sent troops from two directions to the Central Plains. The situation is critical. How should we deal with it?"
Zhong Hui said: "This must be because the Kingdom of Shu took advantage of the weakness of the Kingdom of Wu and just experienced civil strife to attack our country. I heard that Deng Ai has made some achievements in suppressing the rebellion, so he can be sent to deal with Jiang Wei in Chang'an."
Sima Zhao nodded and said: "Jingzhou has been silent for many years, and they suddenly launch an attack. They must be well prepared. I will go out to fight in person."
So he ordered Deng Ai to go to the west to rendezvous with the locals and jointly fight the Shu army. He himself raised an army of 100,000 and headed towards Xuchang, preparing to fight Yu Yi.
Soon Yu Yi and others arrived at Wancheng, divided their troops into five camps and stationed them nearby.
As the commander-in-chief, Yu Yi once again convened everyone for discussion and said: "I will report carefully. Now the Wei State has sent Deng Ai to fight Jiang Wei. Sima Zhao has personally led his troops to Xuchang and is preparing to fight us."
Tan Bowen paid his respects and said: "Sima Zhao is the younger brother of Master Sima. It is said that he has lived here all year round and has not fought many battles. You can send troops to challenge the Wei army first and test the strength of the Wei army."
Yu Yongqi said: "Please send me as a vanguard to stir up the vigor of the Wei army."
Yu Yi smiled and said, "It's rare that you have such courage." Then he sent an order for Yu Yongqi to lead 5,000 people as the left vanguard, Yu Sisi to lead 5,000 people as the right vanguard, and Zhou Qiao to lead 5,000 people to respond.
Xu Da felt strange and said: "I am obviously a pioneer, why didn't the Prime Minister arrange for me to go?"
He replied: "In this crusade against Wei, we should give young people more opportunities to exercise." Xu Da felt that it made sense, so he withdrew, but he was always unhappy.
It is said that Sima Zhao and others have arrived
After Xuchang, some generals suggested setting up camp around Xuchang, building city defenses, and waiting for the arrival of the Shu army so that they could relax and wait for their work.
Sima Zhao denied them all. He just locked himself in the house without seeing anyone.
Everyone didn't know why and could only leave in anger. It turned out that Sima Zhao called a maid, visited her, and bit her on the neck. The blood in the maid's body felt like it was being pumped out, and it was drained away before she could shout. After the blood was washed away, Sima Zhao wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Yu Yi took the initiative to attack. It's just a good time to try the evil magic taught to me by the evil force and test its power."
Yu Sisi and others led their troops forward, and soon arrived near Lushan. Here they encountered a group of patrolling Wei troops, and a battle broke out. Yu Sisi quickly wiped them out and grabbed some baggage.
Yu Yongqi arrived soon. When he saw Yu Sisi's results, he was a little jealous and sighed: "I'm late!"
Yu Sisi smiled and said, "My father arranged for us to be the vanguard this time just to let us compete. Now that I have made great achievements, you can't catch up."
Yu Yongqi shook his head and said, "This is just the beginning." After that, he led the troops and continued moving forward.
This matter was soon reported to Sima Zhao. After hearing this, Sima Zhao walked out of the room. He arranged for two generals to prepare for the battle. At the same time, he also mobilized all the troops and marched towards Lushan to prepare. Direct battle.
Soon the generals of the Wei army arrived and surrounded Yu Yongqi and Yu Sisi. The leader, who had a mustache and was obviously not very old, had a group of axes dancing in his hands and shouted to the two of them: " You are doing well in Jingzhou, but do you have to go to our country to die?"
After hearing this, Yu Yongqi was furious and started a duel with the man. The two fought for fifty rounds, but they couldn't decide the winner.
There was a woman beside the general of the Wei army. She was a bit coquettish, riding a white horse, and holding a whip in her hand. Seeing this, Yu Sisi hurriedly went up to meet her and said, "Your opponent is me!"
So the two fought together, and they fought back and forth, but they couldn't tell the winner.
At this moment, a black wind blew by, and Sima Zhao led his troops to the scene. He saw several people fighting against him, and was a little disappointed because he did not see Yu Yi.
Finally, the melee was about to decide the winner. Yu Yongqi was somewhat exhausted. Under the continuous attack of the ax, he retreated a little. If Yu Sisi hadn't assisted from the side, he might have been defeated. However, the female general Wei who used the whip His abilities are not as good as Yu Sisi's. If it weren't for the help of the ax man, he might have been defeated long ago.
