Chapter 660 Encircling Ye City

Yanjin, Wei army camp.

"Taiwei, front-line battle report!" Guo Huai hurried in with the battle report and bowed to Sima Yi.

"Just read directly!" Sima Yi was closing his eyes to rest, but he didn't open his eyes when he heard the sound, but just said indifferently.

"Here!" Guo Huai glanced at Sima Yi and bowed, "Lu, Liang and Yingchuan have been lost one after another. In addition, the entire territory of Yanzhou and the East China Sea, Pengcheng, Xiapi and three counties of Xuzhou have been lost. Now south of the Yellow River, only Qingzhou has not been attacked by the Han army, but it is still in danger."

"This is not a chance!" Sima Yi slowly opened his eyes and grew older. From August to October, Pang Tong did not rush to meet with Liu Yi and attack Jizhou, but chose a steady strategy, taking advantage of the panic of the people of the Central Plains to quickly erode. In just two months, the war in the Central Plains had become so corrupt that Sima Yi felt unable to do so!

"Taiwei, with his current momentum, Qingzhou may not be able to hold on for too long. After a while, the river will be frozen and Pang Tong will be able to cross the river through the ice. At that time, our army will probably be even more difficult to resist!" Guo Huai said with a wry smile.

"As long as Liu Yi is here, I can't move!" Sima Yi said decadently: "But if I don't move, the Han army can step across the river and directly attack Qinghe, Zhao, and Bohai, and then directly attack Yecheng from the rear!"

Guo Huai looked bitter when he heard this. Even if he saw the other party's intentions clearly, he was powerless. The only soldiers that the Great Wei Dynasty could use now were left, which could block Liu Yi, but could not prevent Pang Tong. The land of Jizhou was not too dangerous. The Han army came to attack from two groups. If Sima Yi chose to divide the troops, he would probably be defeated by the other party immediately. However, if he did not divide the troops, he could only watch Pang Tong or Liu Yi directly attack Yecheng, and then be double-teamed, and he would not escape the defeat.

"Father!" Just as the two of them were silent, Sima Shi rushed back quickly and said to Sima Yi: "The court urgently reported that Jiang Wei attacked Dai County from Yanmen. Your Majesty will recruit his father to return to Yecheng immediately!"

Sima Yi suddenly clenched his fists, then let go, slowly stood up, looked at Sima Shi, looked at Guo Huai, pondered for a moment and said, "Ziyuan, Bo Ji!"

"exist!"

"You... surrender!" Sima Yi said dryly after being silent for a long time.

"Father (Taiwei), this..." Sima Shi and Guo Huai's expressions changed drastically when they heard this, and they looked at Sima Yi incredibly.

"The Great Wei Dynasty has already perished!" Sima Yi rubbed his cheeks exhausted and sighed: "I can't stop it. In the past, our Great Wei dominated the Central Plains, and the world was three parts. The Great Wei had two unique ones, but it still could not stop the Han army. Now the Eastern Wu retreated and even though there were two states, there were no dangerous passes to guard. The day of the revival of the Great Han Dynasty has arrived. My father didn't want our Sima family to be defeated!"

"Father, where are you?" Sima Shi suddenly grabbed Sima Yi and said.

"If I go back, if I surrender, what face does Sima have to stand in this world? I have to be loyal to the Great Wei!" Sima Yi stretched and said, "But I can only have me alone. My son should keep a useful body and restore the Sima family. If there is a chance, get rid of Liu Yi. This person will never have peace in his life."

"Father..." Sima took Sima Yi's sleeve, his body trembled, but he couldn't speak.

"Boji can surrender to Liu Yi, but my son's best bet on Jiang Wei." Sima Yi thought for a while and said, "Liu Yi was quite trusted in the Han Dynasty. My son was the first to surrender, so he should not compete with him. Live well. As long as you live longer than him, you will have a chance!"

"Taiwei, really doesn't have a chance?" Guo Huai looked at Sima Yi, his heart heavy.

"Maybe there, but I can't see it!" Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Boji, help me pass another order, the soldiers of the three armies will set up camps and join me to return to the court!"

"Here!" Guo Huai didn't say more. The current situation was indeed desperate. Sima Yi decided like this. Guo Huai didn't say anything more. He turned around and left, ordered the three armies to gather and retreat to Yecheng with Sima Yi. As for Guo Huai, as Sima Yi's orders, after the three armies retreated, he went to the Han army camp alone and surrendered to Liu Yi.

...

"Boji is also a famous general of the world. Now he is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so my great man will naturally welcome him." Liu Yi looked at the general in front of him with some surprise. Guo Huai's ability, in the more than a year of confrontation with Sima Yi, has been fully confirmed that he is a good general.

"Sikong Misappy, the defeated general." Guo Huai shook his head and bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Please take Sikong in!"

"Go to Chang'an." Liu Yi stood up and smiled, "As for how to arrange it, I have no right to ask about it, so it's up to Your Majesty to decide."

"Here!" Guo Huai bowed and said, "Thank you, Sikong."

Liu Yi nodded and ordered someone to send Guo Huai to Chang'an. As for how to arrange it, it depends on Liu Chan's intention. Liu Yi really confiscated the plan, and it has been a time since he has captured too many talents under his command, which is easy to be suspicious.

"Sikong!" After Guo Huai left, Deng Ai looked at Liu Yi and said, "This person is a general of the Wei Dynasty. Now that he is here to vote, will he be a fraud?"

"I don't know." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if it is there. Boyue has already attacked Dai County, and Shiyuan's side is about to pacify the Central Plains. Next month, we can almost attack Jizhou together. The Wei Dynasty is about to end. Even if he has any intention, it will be difficult to turn the tide. Whether he can take over this good general depends on His Majesty's methods."

"The last general always feels that Guo Huai surrendered too hasty. He is a general of the three armies. Since he surrenders, why not bring troops to surrender? In addition, his family is still in Yecheng, why not bring them?" Deng Ai frowned.

"Don't consider these things. Now do two things. First, strictly monitor the movements of the Wei army, whether there is any deception in various rivers and mountains, and whether Sima Yi really retreated! Second, order a group of people to Dongjun, occupy Puyang, and transfer Luoyang defenders to Puyang to guard. After the Shiyuan army conquered Qingzhou, both sides will launch an attack together."

"Here!" Deng Ai agreed and bowed and left.

In November of the third year of Yanxi (240 AD), the entire Qingzhou area was trapped. Pang Tong stationed his troops across the river and captured Leling. The prefect of Leling surrendered without fighting.

In the same month, Jiang Wei captured Ji County and Zhuo County. Liu Yi captured Liyang again and cooperated with Pang Tong to capture the two counties of Qinghe and Yangping. Jiang Wei went south to Zhongshan, Hejian and Bohai County to surrender, and three large armies attacked Yecheng from three directions.

Although Sima Yi tried to intercept him several times, he ended in failure.

In order to prevent Li Yan from happening again, Liu Yi took nearly half of his soldiers as scouts to investigate water routes everywhere to prevent Sima Yi from turning the tables with the help of water and fire.

The two sides fought no less than a hundred times on the land of Jizhou. Finally, at the end of December, Liu Yi and Pang Tong successfully met outside Yecheng, and Jiang Wei also rushed to Handan.

...

"That is the Wei army's stone throwing machine?" Outside Yecheng, the Wei army had already been cleared. Liu Yi immediately sent someone to follow the Zhang River to stop Shuyaoyi in order to prevent Sima Yi from using water to defeat the enemy. Looking at the water-like objects on the walls of Yecheng, he asked with a frown.

"That's right!" Wei Yan nodded and said, "This object's range is greater than that of our army's crossbow. At the time of Neihuang's defeat, although Sima Yi used a trick, this object really blocked our army. Later, Li Yan used a catapult to bombard the stone casting cart and destroyed these stone generators."

Liu Yi nodded, picked up the telescope again, carefully observed the stone generator, and explored its principles.

Wei Yan explained on the side: "The stone bullets fired by this object are not big, but they can shoot out 200 steps. The most troublesome thing is that the speed of fire is extremely fast. If our army forcibly attacks the city, these stone generators can block our army under the city!"

"In this world, besides Bo Yuan, there is anyone who can design such a powerful tool?" Pang Tong said in surprise.

"There is a heaven beyond the sky. I have never said that I am the strongest." Liu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

His skills reached the second half of the eighth level half a year ago, and his attribute blessing reached 70~79, but Liu Yi did not build a military armor again. It was enough before and he relied too much on attributes. When one day he was no longer in this world, how should technology advance?

"You, the older you get, the more timid you become!" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi and laughed.

"Who is not~" Liu Yi doesn't care. He didn't have many courage in his life. He didn't care about being joked at this moment. He looked at the stone machine on the city wall and said, "I'll order all the troops to destroy the city. After the city is broken, this craftsman named Ma Jun must be captured alive."

"Why, do you want to teach a disciple again?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile.

"This is a talent, you can be a disciple!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"But how do you attack this city?" Pang Tong asked.

"I'm going to make the decision?" Liu Yi turned his head and looked at Pang Tong.

"If you were asked to make the decision, what would you do?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi vigilantly.

"Stop food and water, build a city on all sides, surround Yecheng to death, and defeat the soldiers without fighting!" Liu Yi said calmly and calmly.

"Yecheng is the kingdom of Cao Wei. I'm afraid that it will not be able to be captured in less than a year or two," Pang Tong frowned.

"But this is the most stable. We trap Yecheng and then occupy the unoccupied areas step by step. At least this will lead to fewer casualties." Liu Yi looked at Yecheng and said, "In this last battle, we will cause less killings and let them surrender themselves."

"Okay, I'll follow you this time!" Pang Tong thought for a while and said, if he could completely destroy the Wei Kingdom without fighting, it would be a merit.

"I'll build it, let Boyue and Shizai be responsible for quelling the city that is still stubbornly rebelling, and also to cultivate farms in this area, to put more psychological pressure on them!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Come on what is trapped, I'll be with them!" Pang Tong said with a smile and shook his head.

"That's fine!"

At this moment, everyone divided the work. Except for Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, other generals were all sent down to help Liu Yi. Liu Yi began to build a city wall around Yecheng and ordered the four generals Wei Yan, Guan Ping, Zhang Bao and Liao Hua to lead one to defend the four gates. If the Wei army goes out of the city to fight, they will force the other party back with strong bows and crossbows, while Liu Yi began to dig the foundation around Yecheng and build the city wall, preparing to continue to waste time with the Wei army.
