In the final analysis, using troops is a lie, especially when fighting between two armies, it depends on who can deceive the other party. Therefore, experts in military use are generally more lie.

The Yellow River is very important to Cao Wei, and it does not consider strategies or other things. As now, it is difficult for the Han Dynasty to attack with the catapults and passes, even if the Han Dynasty relies on the advantages of military weapons. Similarly, it is difficult for Cao Wei to attack. It is similar to the Yangtze River, but it is different. The Yellow River is relatively narrower and not as wide as the Yangtze River. Moreover, the water in many places is turbulent, which is not suitable for boating, let alone water combat.

If not, Cao Cao would not have to dig a lake near Yecheng to train the navy. Moreover, the Yellow River would freeze in winter, unlike the Yangtze River, which was like the Yangtze River. If you want to attack Jiangdong, you must cross the river. This place is only suitable for small groups of naval forces to engage in water wars.

"Taiwei!" Xiahou Ba quickly stepped in to Sima Yi who was reading a book and said, "The Han army is not abnormal."

"Have you ever looked carefully?" Sima Yi looked up and asked at Xiahou Ba.

"Don't worry, the general will come on stage every day to look at it. There are a large number of soldiers patrolling in the Han army camp. In the past few days, Han troops have been coming in from the rear. The smoke from cooking every day can also determine the approximate number of Han troops, and there will be no mistakes." Xiahou Ba said in a deep voice.

"Try again!" Sima Yi nodded and said.

"Here!" Xiahou Ba nodded and bowed to leave.

"Father, Liu Yi is just a craftsman." Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yi and smiled: "Although he was boasted as a general who was always victorious, he just shrank his head. Why should my father be so cautious?"

"Haven's head turtle?" Sima Yi glanced at his son and shook his head: "You are not worthy of evading him."

"Father!" Sima Zhao's chest stagnated.

"Zhuge Liang, who is Pang Tong? If Liu Yi really only has these skills, will they attract Liu Yi as a confidant?" Sima Yi glanced at Sima Zhao: "If it were you, would you associate with a craftsman?"

"Of course not." Sima Zhao shook his head and frowned: "But father, Liu Yi..."

"A great talent!" Sima Yi threw a natural work book on the table and said, "You are asking you to study this book well on weekdays, but you are always disdainful. After 30 years of work in the Han Dynasty, Liu Yi expanded his territory thousands of miles away, pacified the Xiongnu and destroyed the Xianbei. You deserve to be disdainful of such figures."

"No, father, this is just the Han army's strength, and Liu Yi is just good at employed people. He has no ability." Sima Zhao said with a wry smile.

"It is the greatest ability to employ people. The most important thing is that he can still make those people convince him. Can you?" Sima Yi glared at his youngest son: "Do you know, how many weapons are there in my Great Wei army, and the buildings are imitating the Han army's ordnance?"

"But he is the enemy, why does his father still admire him so much?" Sima Zhao said in confusion.

"If you have awe of the enemy, you will have a chance to defeat him. If you are like you, know nothing about the enemy and are blindly confident, you will be incompetent!" Sima Yi looked at Sima Zhao and shook his head. This time he was smart, but he was too young after all, and he had never experienced setbacks and was too proud. In the long run, his great talent would be ruined, but now he just happened to use Liu Yi to attack him.

Sima Zhao smiled bitterly, not daring to reply again.

"Father." Sima Shi, who was standing beside him, looked at Sima Yi and said, "Now the Han army is gathering here, will we do it as soon as possible?"

"Our army has not yet gathered. Now we have only deceived the other party by using suspicious tactics to make the other party dare not attack. If my plan can be accomplished, our army can take advantage of the situation to attack Luoyang and regain the land of Heluo, then the Han Dynasty's plan to go to war will be broken, but the premise is that we have really deceived Liu Yi." Sima Yi shook his head. He spent eight years preparing for today, and no mistakes are allowed.

"Father, then Liu Yi is really so powerful?" Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi and asked.

"Yes." Sima Yi nodded and said, "I have studied all the wars of this person in the past. The earliest one should be counted from Nanyang. The opponent was a bandit. Later, Mocheng was built in Jingling. He fought with Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin one after another, and all won. He served Liu Bei's command and moved to Jingnan. Although the prefects of Jingnan were not powerful at that time, Liu Yi used two thousand soldiers to fight Jingnan in a very short period of time and won the foundation of Jingnan for Liu Bei, which is enough to prove that this person is not as useless as Zi Shang said."

"Whether Liu Bei entered Sichuan or Sun Quan took advantage of the opportunity to attack Jingzhou, he was severely injured by the Han army. Then in the Battle of Nanyang and the Battle of Nanzhong, this person appeared in every battle. Perhaps it was not the head coach, but it played a huge role!" Sima Yi stood up, looked at the map in the tent, and sighed: "I once made a very interesting deduction for my father. If there was no Liu Yi in this world, Liu Bei could have won Jingnan, but he might not have been able to take Jiangling!"

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao looked at their father in a daze, not understanding why their father suddenly said this, so they could only continue to listen obediently.

"Even if Liu Bei took Jiangling, if this person was not there, Liu Bei entered Shu and Jingzhou was empty. Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang with all his might. At this time, Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou, which could have been successfully captured, but the appearance of this person..." Sima Yi clicked on the map and shook his head and sighed: "He has been guarding against Jiangdong from the beginning. Judging from Guan Yu's reaction at that time, he probably did not expect Jiangdong to attack at this time, but Jingzhou obviously had made preparations. Among the people who solved this matter, there were Deng Ai, Liu Sandao and Chen Ergou. These people were all from Mocheng!"

"He had expected Jiangdong to attack!" Sima Zhao said incredible.

"This person has a strong vision, and is not as incompetent as you say." Sima Yi glanced at Sima Zhao and said, "I'm not sure if he saw through my plan!"

"So..." Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi and said.

"The embankment was designed by Ma Jun. There are two dams that can release water twice!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "When the troops arrive, I plan to use Xiahou Ba as the vanguard and attack the south bank first. If Liu Yi gets the plan, it is the best, but if I fail, I will spend eight years to build these two dams. As long as Xiahou Ba drags Liu Yi down, this second reservoir will be where Liu Yi is burial!"

"Then Xiahou Ba..." Sima Zhao said a little, but did not continue. If Xiahou Ba could be exchanged for Liu Yi's life, then this exchange would be worth it.

...

Liu Yi, who was patrolling the camp, shivered inexplicably.

"Governor, these straw men are so amazing. Not to mention looking from a distance, even if you look from a close distance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tell the authenticity for a while!" Zhuge Qiao followed Liu Yi, looking at the straw men sliding along their respective tracks under the pull of the rope, and smiled.

In the army, we naturally cannot be called a father-in-law.

"Well, it may be concealed by the world, but I still feel that something is inappropriate." Liu Yi shook his head. He didn't understand why. He always felt that there was something else that he didn't count, but Liu Yi couldn't think of for a moment.

Since you can't think of it, then use the safest way.

"Bo Song?" Liu Yi turned around and looked at his son-in-law: "Bo Song, what would happen if you were the commander of the Wei army, if you knew that I was an empty camp?"

Zhuge Qiao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Liu Yi and said, "Governor, how is this possible?"

The other party's methods were extremely secret. If Liu Yi had not been good at water conservancy and had noticed something wrong by the Yellow River, others might not have noticed it at all. It was not easy to detect Sima Yi's conspiracy. In order to confuse the other party, Liu Yi led his men to set up 100,000 grass men these days. Not to mention looking from the other side, even if he hadn't known it in advance, it would have been embarrassing. Is the other party a god?

"Many accidents cannot evolve. Never underestimate your enemy, as they will be more terrifying than you think." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "The opponent is very likely to be Sima Yi. If he is Sima Yi, he would probably consider how to end if the enemy can overcome his plan.

"This..." Zhuge Qiao thought carefully and thought about it seriously, but still couldn't think of it. If the other party knew that this was an empty camp, it would not take long to let the water go, but in this way, the situation would freeze. If the water go, at least it could be cleared, but what could it be? It was just an empty camp.

If troops were sent to attack, the Han army's current combat effectiveness would be far better than that of the Wei army. This would be equivalent to moving the Han army's front line back for a while, but it had no meaning at all.

Liu Yi was not in a hurry. He was going to discuss this with the soldiers of various army. After all, Zhuge Qiao was not the kind of person who was proficient in military tactics. However, before that, Liu Yi had already decided that even if he missed the opportunity, he would never attack rashly.

"Let's go." Liu Yi looked around. He had already set up several mechanisms similar to seismometers in the camp. If there was any abnormal movement, the soldiers in the camp could evacuate in time.

As for Sima Yi’s tricks, as long as he doesn’t take action, it’s useless to have any tricks. So what if he gives up this land to the other party?

Liu Yi had already made up his mind that he would stick to the defense line before he could fully understand the opponent or see Sima Yi, and would never make moves easily.

On this day, Sima Yi personally climbed up to the high platform to watch the Han army's formation, but saw the Han army camp's armor, and the Han army soldiers patrolled and reciprocated, and the array was ripe. He couldn't help but secretly admire the rigorous appearance of the Han army.

"Father, Guo Huai has led his army to Zheng County!" While watching, Sima Zhao came to Sima Yi excitedly. He wanted to see if Liu Yi was really that powerful.

"Okay!" Sima Yi patted the railing and shouted to Sima Zhao under the watchtower: "Rise the wolf smoke immediately!"

"Here!" Sima Zhao responded and personally threw the wolf dung that had been prepared long ago into the beacon tower that had been prepared long ago. A wave of wolf smoke soared into the sky. The Wei army in the camp began to retreat under the command of Sima Yi. The Han army camp in the distance seemed to have not noticed the danger.

When Sima Yi came down from the watchtower, he glanced at the military camp on the other side. Maybe he was wrong. Liu Yi was not that powerful, at least not that powerful in strategy...
