[Mountain fire, pray for all the firefighters who are fighting the fire. The years are quiet, but you are carrying the load forward. come on. 】
Cao Wei's army is naturally loyal to the Cao family, and Cao Zhen is a member of the Cao family. No one in the army knows this. In the event of a conflict, Sima Yi's side, even if they have a way to kill Cao Zhen, will There is no way to control people's hearts. This time is too hasty. Cao Zhen's death means that the Sima family's ambitions are clearly revealed, and they do not have full control of the army. Killing Cao Zhen is tantamount to treason.
At that time, if the military morale is not there, how can we attack Xicheng?
All they got was a large army with no fighting spirit, or a remnant army. Maybe, under Zhuge Liang's little plan, he would mutiny, and the consequences would be too serious. This is obviously not the work of a wise man. Only a reckless man will attack someone head-on.
The key is how to choose and how to control the balance.
Now, without using weapons, you can have a fully controllable army of 50,000, which is more advantageous than getting a remnant army. What is the benefit of confronting Cao Zhen? That is a situation Zhuge Liang wants to see.
As for Cao Zhen, let’s deal with Xicheng first. It’s not that there are no ways to deal with him.
"My father is wise, the Cao family is really haunted, staring at us like we are looking at thieves, it is really hateful."
Sima Zhao said with a sneer.
"Well, let's do this for now. Find a place, set up camp, and then wake up first."
Sima Yi nodded and made a decision.
"Yes, father."
Sima Zhao agreed.
Now that it has just arrived, it is natural to restore some strength first. Otherwise, it will be too much of a disadvantage to fight. Even in just a few days, no one can acquire too much ability or how strong the magical power is, but in the end It has an impact. Who knows what kind of strategies Zhuge Liang will prepare and wait.
"It's interesting. As expected, Sima Yi is as good as he talks. He didn't fight Cao Zhen directly. Instead, he got 50,000 troops. I have to say, it's really amazing."
All this was clearly seen by Zhong Yan, who was observing secretly.
With the power of the mind, I could even hear their conversation clearly, and I couldn't help but sigh. Sima Yi was indeed Sima Yi. I originally thought that they were going to fight and have a violent confrontation, but I didn't expect that it would end so easily. Of course, this First of all, the troops that Sima Yi can use are obviously reduced by half. It may not be that easy to capture the West City.
"As the military strategists say, attack with ten times the force. Now it's two ten times. However, this is aimed at the general defense of the city. The person currently defending the city is Zhuge Liang. The legendary Zhuge Wuhou cannot be said in the same way. The Sima Yi in front of me is not a good person either, so there will be a good show this time."
Zhong Yan murmured expectantly.
I just watched a confrontation between Sima Yi and Cao Zhen. It was not satisfying. It can only be said to be a contest between wise men and barbarians, not even a contest. Between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, that is the real confrontation between wise men. He was looking forward to this confrontation.
This fantasy world is already under his control. No matter how Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang play, they can't change the outcome. However, before they decide the winner, he is willing to wait and watch this battle.
He also wanted to see the cultivation methods of the divine Han civilization.
Although I don't know what the situation is like between the Cao family and the Sima family, it is obvious that they practice the methods of the divine men, and to some extent, they are also connected to the divine men. There is no doubt about the power of the ancient civilization of Shenhan. It was an ancient civilization that dared to challenge Immortal Qin.
For example, the Cao family and the Sima family are just ants. They can be crushed to death by force in the face of a powerful man.
After the army set up camp, they stayed for a day and then.
Sima Yi once again led the army and set off. When setting off, it can be seen that Sima Yi's whole person has become completely different. It is obvious that he has transcended the ordinary world and transformed into a new level of life. Naturally, even the Qi machine has become completely different.
.....................
At this moment, in the West City, a tense atmosphere became more and more intense. Obviously, at this time, even ordinary people could smell the smell of war. At this moment, on the city wall, one could see Zhuge Liang dressed in a crane robe, holding a white feather fan in his hand, swinging it gently in front of him, followed by Wei Yan, Wang Ping and others. Compared with before, the aura exuding from each person has become completely different.
It seems that he has completed his awakening and possesses otherworldly power.
"According to the information detected by Tanma, Cao Wei's army has changed. Sima Yi led an army of 50,000 people in front, and Cao Zhen led an army of 100,000 people in the rear. There seemed to be a conflict before, but there was no sign of fighting. I don't know what happened specifically. What. Now, Sima Yi’s army is only more than a day’s journey from our western city and will definitely arrive outside the city.”
Wang Ping quickly opened his mouth to report.
Although there are not many troops in Xicheng now, there are still some scouts, and the efficiency of detecting surrounding intelligence is not bad, so they can naturally detect the surrounding situation.
In particular, the focus is on the changes in Cao Wei's army.
I originally thought that Cao Zhen and Sima Yi would have a big war and an internal strife, but now it seems that they have reached some kind of special agreement.
"As I expected, Sima Yi and Cao Zhen will not really fight. If Cao Zhen wants to fight, Sima Yi will not be willing. His opponent will always be me. He will never want to fight with me before we can decide the outcome. The conflict between Cao Zhen and Cao Zhen resulted in the loss of generals and mutiny. When it comes to talking words, Cao Zhen can't compare to Sima Yi."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile.
"Their agreement was within my expectations. As expected, Sima Yi should have retreated in order to advance, destroying our west city first, taking himself as the vanguard, and dividing his troops in exchange for Cao Zhen not to attack them for the time being. And , it should be because if he wants to compete with Liang again, even if he wins, Cao Zhen can use a hundred thousand troops to crush the battlefield and become the final winner."
Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, his voice was neither slow nor urgent, and he shook the feather fan gently in his hand. He had already understood everything. From a few clues, he could glean the general message of the other party. For Sima Yi, he was an old rival. Of course it is impossible not to understand.
This time is different from the past. They don't have anything to do with each other. They just compete with each other to win or lose. Other external factors are no longer important. He is also full of expectations and wants to experience Let’s see if the real Sima Yi can break through the Xicheng where he is.
"Then Prime Minister, what should we do? Two thousand five hundred people are barely enough to be placed on one city wall. If we deal with the offensive on four walls, we will be too weak. Do we need to mobilize the people to go to the city wall and participate in the offensive and defensive battles?"
Wei Yan asked.
The people in the city are their last trump card. However, this is a war, and there is always a sense of humiliation for the people to participate. In fact, the combat power that the people can exert is not high.
"No problem, give the order and open the four doors. We are ready to welcome the distinguished guests."
Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"The Prime Minister is planning to make another empty city plan. Can Sima Yi be fooled?"
When Wang Ping heard this, his expression changed and he asked.
Obviously, understand what Zhuge Liang is planning to do.
"When I laid out the empty city plan, Sima Yi understood the true meaning and immediately retreated. This time, I set up the empty city plan again, not to ask him to retreat again, but to let him see whether this empty city is easy to break and whether he dares to do so. enter."
Zhuge Liang said with a chuckle, a look of confidence flashed between his brows, and his body was filled with the brilliance of a wise man.
"Listen to the Prime Minister. We will do whatever the Prime Minister says. The worst we can do is die in battle. Anyway, what we have here is not our real body. We are our own bodies. Even if we die in battle, there will be no loss."
Wei Yan said calmly.
"If the people in the city want to leave, let them leave on their own without stopping them. War is not the people's business."
Zhuge Liang continued.
"Yes, Prime Minister."
Wang Ping nodded in agreement.
No matter what, just follow orders.
He doesn't think that he is smarter than Zhuge Liang.
Soon, the order was issued and the four gates of Xicheng were opened wide. There are no guards even at the gate of the city. People are not allowed to go in and out. They are allowed to come and go freely. No matter who they are, they can come and go. The figures of the people coming in and out are also vivid and visible with their own eyes.
"Interesting, is Zhuge Liang planning to continue his empty city strategy?"
Zhong Yan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when he saw it with his own eyes. At the same time, he had to admire Zhuge Liang's strategy. This empty city strategy was actually the most suitable strategy for Sima Yi. However, I am sure that Sima Yi will never retreat, which means that Zhuge Liang's empty city plan will definitely not be a simple empty city. It's mysterious and elusive inside.
Zhong Yan was in the West City at the moment. There was no restriction on entering or exiting the city. Moreover, the location he was in was the tallest tower in the city. Of course, it was not as high as the city wall, but he could still overlook most of the streets in the city.
Soon, time passed and it was already the next day
evening! !
Boom boom boom! !
The sound of huge and chaotic footsteps sounded outside the city. However, the army did not appear directly outside the city. Instead, it stopped three miles away from the west city, set up camp, and buried pots to make rice. At the same time, generals such as Sima Yi and Sima Zhao rode on The war horse slowly came to a hill and looked towards the west city.
The entire West City has its gates closed at this moment, and no movement can be heard inside the city. It seems that the West City has become a dead city, an empty city, and not many lights can be seen in the city. You can't hear the lively fireworks. Giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
"Father, it's possible that the West City is already empty. Zhuge Liang may have escaped. Twenty-five thousand against our fifty thousand is still a share of being crushed. As a wise man, we should seek good fortune, avoid disaster, and pursue profit. "
Sima Zhao frowned slightly and said.
"No, since Zhuge Kongming already knows that I will come, there is no way he will avoid the battle. This is a game between me and him. No matter life or death, no one will retreat."
Sima Yi stood on the hill and looked at the West City.
