Just as Liu Chan was marching towards Guanzhong day and night, far outside Wuguan, Sima Yi led an army of 100,000 and had already arrived at Wuguan City.
Sima Yi stared at Wuguan City ahead and said coldly: "This battle must be fought to the death. We will not return to the capital until we break through the pass."
"No!"
The generals heard the promise and agreed.
Sima Yi has been waiting for this day for almost ten years.
The last time he led troops to Wuguan City was in the third year of Taihe of the Wei Dynasty (AD 229), but that battle was also a battle that he did not want to mention.
Zhuge Liang used a three-bow crossbow to shoot off an arm of his son Sima Shi. From then on, the Wei Dynasty no longer dared to enter the pass, nor did it dare to fight with the Shu army. Even if Cao Zhen later sent troops to Tongguan, Zhuge Liang used a three-bow crossbow to kill him.
Crossbow kill.
Now——
He came back again. This time he personally led an army of 100,000 people and fought to the gates of Wuguan City.
Revenge——
Sima Yi wanted to take revenge. His grudge against the Shu Han was too deep. First, his eldest son, Sima Shi, had an arm shot off by Zhuge Liang. Later, his second son, Sima Zhao's unmarried daughter-in-law, Wang Yuanji, was snatched away by Liu Chan.
In the past ten years, Sima Yi has been holding back.
Because these hatreds are just his personal grudges, and he is the general of the Wei Dynasty. He cannot only think about personal grudges, so he has been enduring them for the past ten years.
Now——
His chance has come.
His chance for revenge has come.
This is the opportunity he created for him, and this is also the opportunity he created for Da Wei.
In fact, Sima Yi has not been idle in the past few years. In addition to helping the Wei Dynasty strengthen its troops, he is also causing trouble for the Shu Han.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty, it was he who sent envoys to persuade the Queen of Tang Dynasty to constantly harass Nanzhong, forcing Zhuge Liang to lead an army to conquer.
Originally, they thought that by keeping Zhuge Liang contained in the Tang Dynasty, the Wei Dynasty could look for opportunities to attack Guanzhong. However, a few months ago, Sima Yi learned that Liu Chan had led his troops to the Western Regions.
This——
It’s simply God’s help to the Wei Dynasty.
Sima Yi was so happy.
Send troops!
Troops must be sent!
For Sima Yi, this is simply a God-given opportunity.
Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan both left, and also took away a large number of Shu troops. Although Xu Shu was in charge of Guanzhong at this time, Sima Yi was not afraid.
So, on July 15, 238 AD, Sima Yi, on the orders of the Wei Emperor Cao Rui, personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Shu.
August 1st.
Sima Yi led the army to resist Shangyong. He did not immediately march to Wuguan, but sent envoys to Wuchang to meet Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu.
This time, his goal is not just to break through Wuguan.
"Destroy Shu?" Sun Quan said in surprise.
"Back to Your Majesty!" The envoy of Wei State said: "Yes, I, the Wei Dynasty, are sending troops this time to destroy the Shu Han. I hope your Majesty can send troops to help. If we can destroy the Shu Han in one fell swoop, my lord is willing to divide the territory of the Shu Han equally with your Majesty.
From then on, Wei and Wu divided the country from north to south to rule the world."
Division of North and South.
This was what Sun Quan dreamed of. He also thought about the Northern Expedition and then unify the world in one fell swoop. However, in the past few decades, Wu sent troops more than ten times, but each time they returned without success.
At this time, Wei State requested alliance, although Sun Quan was wavering.
However, it was learned that Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu, and Liu Chan, the Emperor of Shu, were not in Guanzhong at the moment. One led his troops to the Tang Dynasty in the southwest, and the other went to the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Region.
This is an opportunity.
Because Sun Quan is not stupid, he can also see over the years that the current Shu Kingdom is no longer the Shu Kingdom of the past, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger.
So——
After weighing it, Sun Quan made his decision.
Alliance with Wei to conquer Shu.
August 18.
Just when Sima Yi's army arrived at Wuguan, Dongwu Chariot General Zhu Ran, Wei General Quan Cong, and Weibei General Zhuge Ke led 80,000 troops out of Zigui.
The 180,000 allied troops of Wei and Wu attacked.
It immediately shocked Guan and Yi, because no one in the Han Dynasty did not know that the prime minister was still in Tangyang at this time, and the emperor led his troops to Dawan.
But at this time, Wei Wu suddenly attacked.
Xu Shu, the imperial censor, was also very anxious.
But Xu Shu soon made a decision.
First of all, the main force of the Wei army was led by Sima Yi, and their target was Wuguan. Because Tongguan and Pubanjin have been reinforced several times, it is almost impossible to enter the pass through these two passes.
On the other hand, Wuguan, although its city defenses have been reinforced, is not insurmountable.
Therefore, to deal with the Wei army, we only need to defend Wuguan.
Xu Shu then invited the veteran general Zhao Yun to take 30,000 soldiers and horses from Lantian Camp to Wuguan to resist Sima Yi's main force of the Wei army.
As for Wu Jun in the direction of Zigui, Xu Shu was not too worried.
Because it is still difficult for Wu Jun to go up the river.
Moreover, he has already sent a letter to Li Yan, the Minister of Jiangzhou, asking him to strictly guard against the Yangtze River defense line.
Li Yan has been guarding Jiangzhou, and he also has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. I believe that with the natural danger of the Yangtze River, Li Yan will not have a big problem in blocking Zhu Ran.
In addition, Xu Shu also sent a message to Jianning, asking Li Yi, the prefect of Jianning, to send troops from Jianning to pretend to attack Jiaozhou in Soochow.
August 17.
Outside Guilin County.
In the middle is a huge flag with the word "Han", and next to it are a flag with the word "李" and a general flag with the word "Guan".
"The Shu army is coming to attack!" Guilin County Magistrate Chen Yan said in horror: "What should we do?"
"Don't be surprised, Magistrate Chen!" County Lieutenant Feng Ji said with a pat on his chest: "As long as I, Feng Ji, are here, Guilin County cannot be lost."
However, Chen Yan does not have much confidence.
After all, Guilin County is located on the border. During these years of the Han-Wu Alliance, no large army was stationed here. Currently, Guilin County only has two to three thousand unarmed county soldiers.
How can two to three thousand people resist the Shu army of ten thousand people?
"County Magistrate Chen only needs to sit high in the county government office," Feng Ji said, "The Shu army will have Feng to stop him."
Feng Ji is a military commander. Although he has been stationed in Guilin County for a long time and has never really been on the battlefield, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and considers himself to be very brave. Of course, he will not take the Shu army of more than 10,000 people seriously.< /p>
After all, he has a county to defend.
Ten minutes at noon.
Feng Ji came to the city. He believed that with the county defense, he would be able to block the Shu army's attack.
When Feng Ji came to the city, the Shu army was ready to attack the city, but they did not attack the city immediately. One of the female generals reined in the horse, and the war horse suddenly roared. Then the female general raised her hand and pointed: "On the city. Listen, I am the great Han Guan Feng. If you don’t want to die, quickly open the city and surrender." Guan Feng sneered and said, "If there is even the slightest hesitation, Guilin County will be conquered in a short time."
"Guan Feng?" Feng Ji also sneered: "You are not at home to take care of your husband and raise your children, so why did you raise an army to invade the country? If Feng doesn't kill the female prostitute, you should withdraw your troops quickly."
"Unbridled!" Guan Feng was furious. He immediately bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the top of the city. The next moment, Feng Ji, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly turned pale.
The arrow was impartial and hit Feng Ji's helmet.
He never dreamed that this woman's archery skills were so amazing.
"Who is the second daughter?" Feng Ji asked in horror.
"Go back to the general!" A junior high school student said hurriedly: "This woman is Guan Feng, the daughter of Guan Yu."
Hiss——
Feng Ji was immediately shocked. He had never heard of Guan Feng, but he had certainly heard of Guan Yu's name, but he didn't expect that this woman was actually Guan Yu's daughter.
Just as Feng Ji was panicking, Guan Feng, who was under the city, suddenly pointed his spear and shouted: "Attack the city!"
Instantly!
The shouts of killing outside the city were loud!
More than ten thousand Han troops rushed towards Guilin County like a tide.
The county soldiers in Guilin County had basically never fought before. Suddenly faced with such a ferocious attack, they were no match for Guan Feng.
Almost half an hour later, the Han army had entered Guilin County.
Guilin County Government.
Li Yi was sitting in the first seat and looked coldly at the people lying down. They were Guilin County Magistrate Chen Yan, Guilin County Lieutenant Feng Ji and others.
"General, spare your life!"
"General, spare your life!"
Chen Yan, who was tied up by Wuhua Da, cried and begged: "We are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender, and I beg the general to spare my life."
Similar to Chen Yan, Feng Ji, the county lieutenant who had previously had great ambitions, was already deflated and echoed: "The last general is also willing to surrender."
"Ha!"
Guan Feng stood up suddenly, stared at Feng Ji coldly, and said: "Didn't you ask me to go home to be a husband and raise children? Didn't you not kill female prostitutes?"
"Do you want to go out and fight me for 300 rounds?"
"I don't dare!" Feng Ji said hurriedly: "I don't know that General Guan is here. I don't know Mount Tai. Please forgive me, General!"
"Humph!"
Guan Feng then stepped aside and sat down, then said: "It's not difficult for you to survive," she paused before saying, "But you have to promise me something."
"Please give me your orders, General Guan!" Feng Ji said: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders."
"Okay!"
Guan Feng expressed that he was very satisfied, and immediately walked up to Feng Ji, lowering his voice and whispering a few words.
"I will obey my orders!"
After Guan Feng finished speaking, Feng Ji immediately obeyed the order and then withdrew from the county government office. However, Chen Yan did not know what Guan Feng and Feng Ji had said, and he was even more panicked at this time.
"Do you want to live?"
Guan Feng glanced at Chen Yan and asked.
Chen Yan, who had been frightened for a long time, didn't dare to say anything else at this moment. He suddenly nodded and said: "I think! Please forgive me, General!"
"Yeah!" Guan Feng nodded and said, "If you want to survive, just go and do something for me." She stared at Chen Yan, paused, and then said, "You will go to Wuchang immediately to report that Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu, has
Capture Jiaozhi County."
"???"
Chen Yan was stunned. He didn't seem to understand what Guan Feng meant, but Guan Feng didn't intend to explain it to him and scolded: "Why don't you go quickly?"
"No!"
When Chen Yan heard this, he immediately panicked and responded.
Looking at Chen Yan who was rolling and crawling, Li Yi shook his head and said: "Madam, this plan is very clever. If Sun Quan learns that the prime minister has captured Jiaozhi County, he will not be scared to death, hahahahaha!"
But Guan Feng shook his head and said: "My husband's words are wrong. If my wife expected it to be true, as soon as Chen Yan leaves the city, he will definitely not go to Wuchang, but to Guiyang County."
"Oh???" Li Yi asked doubtfully: "What do you mean, madam?"
Li Yi didn't understand. He had just heard with his own ears that Guan Feng asked Chen Yan to go to Wuchang to report the news. Of course Li Yi knew the reason why Guan Feng did this, which was to let Sun Quan know that the prime minister sent his army south to take Jiaozhi County in Soochow.
.
Once Jiaozhi County is lost, the big man can turn around and head straight for Jiaozhou.
If Sun Quan knew about it, he wouldn't be so frightened.
Because now Sun Quan asked Zhu Ran to send troops to Zigui to capture Shu, but he didn't expect Prime Minister Zhuge to cut his way. If Zhuge Liang went north along Jiaozhou, wouldn't Wuchang be in danger?
After all, the main forces of Soochow are deployed along the Yangtze River defense line to prevent the Han and Wei dynasties, while the garrison troops in Jiaozhou and other places are actually not many.
"Husband, you don't need to ask too much," Guan Feng said: "I'll take over Guiyang County in three days, and then I'll tell you more about it as my wife!"
"Capture Guiyang County in three days?" Li Yi asked in horror.
Guan Feng nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, in three days, our army will capture Guiyang County."
