Chapter 59 Why not borrow Meng Da’s head for use? (Please vote for me!)
Sima Zhao glanced at the empty city in front of him and wondered: "Father, why can't I hear it?"
Master Sima was a little older than his younger brother and knew a little more. He hesitated and suggested, "Father, why don't you send a small group of soldiers to the city to find out what's going on?"
Sima Yi waved his hand and met Zhuge Liang's eyes from a distance. The two eyes met, and he saw the awe-inspiring murderous intent in the latter's confident eyes.
Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Liang meaningfully for a while, curled his lips and smiled, and said to the two men on his left and right: "Listen, the murderous intent in the sound of the piano goes straight to the heart. Zhuge Liang must be confident."
"Furthermore, Zhuge has always been careful with his troops and has never taken risks. Now that the city gates are wide open and there are no soldiers in sight, there must be an ambush in the city. If our soldiers enter the city, they will definitely fall into his trap."
Sima Zhao was puzzled and said: "Measure this small city, how many ambushes there are? I would like to lead an army into the city and find out the reality!"
Master Sima nodded: "Yes, father, my 50,000-strong army is standing on the ground, why should we fear an ambush?"
This is true. There is a saying in the art of war: surround it ten times, attack it five times, and divide it if you double it. If you want to surround and hunt an entire army of 50,000 people on flat ground, you don’t have ten times the number of troops, you need tens of millions.
It can't be done.
Even if the soldiers commanded by Zhuge Liang were proficient in military formations and had excellent combat power, they would still need at least five times more troops to do this.
Does Zhuge Liang have 250,000 troops?
No!
In other words, no matter whether there were ambushes in or around the city, the 50,000 Wei troops were not in a desperate situation.
"Don't be reckless!"
Sima Yi stopped his two sons and said in a deep voice: "You must remember that as a general, you don't worry about victory but defeat first. Regardless of his tricks, I will remain invincible by standing firm and motionless."
land!"
"Pass my general's order to change the rear team to the front and retreat to Beishan!"
"Why did father withdraw from the army?" Sima Zhao had a question mark on his head.
Even if there is an ambush in the city, can't we just not go in?
Let's wait here!
Why retreat?
"Father, let's find out the truth before leaving!" Master Sima suggested reluctantly.
"..." Sima Yi looked at his two immature sons and was speechless for a while.
When you work for others, you don't have to work so hard, it's almost enough.
If you really kill your opponents, you won't get any benefit.
For example, Zhuge Liang sent his troops to Chencang and defeated (killed) Cao Zhen. Did Zhuge Liang gain? No!
The person who benefits is Sima Yi!
The Three Kingdoms are actually a game of chess.
Currently, the three emperors are playing chess, and the rest are chess pieces.
As long as you get this position right, everything will be under control.
Moreover, Wei State has such a large territory and a large population, so when the time comes, all it takes is a solid defense.
He has always regarded as a guide what the soldier Han Xin said when he was killed by Empress Lu: When the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden; when a cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys will be cooked.
Thinking of this, Sima Yi looked at his two sons seriously, his eyes meaningful.
If you don’t understand, listen to me and get out!
Just when the father and son looked at each other and hinted at each other...the strings broke due to the force, and the sonorous and exciting melody came to an abrupt end.
"ah……"
"this……"
The second son was already very excited when he saw Sima Yi. When he suddenly heard about the change, he exclaimed again and again and looked around.
Is an ambush from the Shu army coming?
Sima Yi took another deep look at Zhuge Liang's figure on the tower, and then shouted hurriedly: "Get out! Get out quickly!"
Having said that, he turned around and rode away first.
When Master Sima and Sima Zhao saw their fathers running away, they quickly shouted: "Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly!"
Then he followed Sima Yi and left.
Suddenly, smoke and dust filled the sky outside the city, and the Wei army was in chaos, scrambling to flee far away.
On the city tower, Zhuge Liang sat in silence with his head downcast, immersed in the huge disappointment that the strings of his piano suddenly broke, his heart was in a state of confusion, and he was completely unaware of what happened below the city.
The moment the strings broke, he felt that he would be captured by Sima Yi.
I was confused for a while.
Ma Su let go of the Dou Zhuanxing Shifting Order, took out his sweaty hands from his arms, stepped forward, and said happily: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister! Sima Yi's army has retreated."
In fact, what Ma Su wanted to say was: Prime Minister, Prime Minister, you are so naughty! You have such a tough mentality! If I were sitting here, I would definitely pee my pants.
Zhuge Liang came back to his senses, glanced at the dust in the distance, and saw that Wei Jun had gone far away. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the broken strings, and sighed:
"Dangerous...dangerous plan, this plan...use it when the situation is urgent! Don't do it again."
Ma Su moved his lips and deliberately reminded Zhuge Liang: 'Prime Minister, don't panic, even if Sima Yi really rushes in, I can still run away with you on my back.'
The words came to my lips, turned around a few times, and finally swallowed them.
He remembered Article 7 of the Employee Code: Don’t undermine your boss when he’s showing off.
Because if you dismantle the boss, the boss will dismantle you!
Zhuge Liang looked around at the crowd, issued several orders very quickly, and quickly mobilized all the troops to turn around and defend the west county.
By the time Sima Yi "learned" that Xi County was just an empty city, three days had passed. All the soldiers and horses of the Shu army had withdrawn outside Xi County and set up camp.
In the big tent, the father and son looked at each other.
Sima Zhao was annoyed for a while and complained: "Father, it's a pity that we missed this opportunity to capture Zhuge Liang alive!"
Sima Yi tilted his head slightly, with a calm expression on his face: "This is all my fault, and I will apologize in front of Your Majesty."
Sima Zhao was stunned: "What is my father's crime?"
"The crime of delaying the opportunity for fighting!" Sima Yi explained briefly and comprehensively, spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write a letter.
Master Sima witnessed the entire conversation between his younger brother and his father without saying a word, thinking deeply.
He seemed to have realized something that was not in the books, but it seemed not very clear.
…
After the "Good Music in the Empty City" meeting, the Shu and Wei armies were in a stalemate with Xi County as the boundary.
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
It is late autumn and the chill is approaching.
During this period, Zhuge Liang sent troops and generals several times to seize Jianwei, trying to advance the Longnan defense line, but all failed.
Zhang He strictly followed Sima Yi's military orders and strictly guarded the city, and did not fight with the Shu army outside the city.
The same was true for Sima Yi who retreated to Beishan.
Seeing that the Shu army was about to run out of food and grass, and the situation in Longyou was still tense, Zhuge Liang was filled with sorrow every day and was at a loss to do anything.
On such a cold day, the goose feather fan in my hand almost danced out of its shadow.
He coughed, fanned quickly, and frowned in thought.
If this stalemate continues, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to Shu Han.
Only by taking Jianwei can the two counties of Longnan, which the Shu Han has already obtained, be blocked from the rear.
However, Sima Yi and Zhang He's total troops totaled more than 70,000, but they only defended but did not attack. They were so small that they were like a turtle.
It makes people unable to eat.
But it's not all bad news.
Yesterday, the Xiqiang people sent another five thousand stones of grain.
But this amount of food... is just a drop in the bucket for an army of 30,000.
Ma Su was wrapped in a thick cloak, with his hands in his sleeves. His heart was extremely anxious, but his face was full of confidence.
There is only the last day left for repayment.
But he can't use the emulator.
If you cannot use the simulator, you will not be able to achieve stability. If you cannot achieve stability, you will be shut down.
So he was very anxious now, but put on a confident look on his face, waiting for Zhuge Liang to ask.
Then use this as a bargaining chip to restore military power and start the simulation process.
Because he has a way to defeat the enemy.
In fact, at this stage of the war, both Shu and Wei were just holding on.
Obviously, Sima Yi did not want to fight Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang did not have enough food and grass to carry out further military operations.
A truce based on the borders currently controlled by each side is a situation acceptable to both sides.
Although this is the case, the leader who retreats first will lose a little face and momentum.
So now both of them are holding on and not retreating.
Seeing that Ma Su seemed confident, Zhuge Liang was puzzled. He raised his hand to call him into the tent and asked, "Young Changxiu wants to hide his secrets. Do you have any clever strategies to defeat the enemy?"
"Yes." Ma Su nodded: "Prime Minister, I want to command the army."
"Tell me first what your clever plan is." Zhuge Liang glanced at him, noncommittal.
Ma Su shook his head decisively: "No, Prime Minister, please give me military power first."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang was speechless for a while, took out a token that could mobilize three thousand soldiers and horses, held it in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Say it."
Ma Su reached out and grabbed the token, pulled it, and found that Zhuge Liang was holding it tightly, so he had to say: "Xincheng Mengda."
"Meng Da?" Zhuge Liang murmured and let go of his hand.
Ma Su quickly put away the token: "Yes, why don't the Prime Minister borrow Meng Da's head for use... Oh no, why don't the Prime Minister write a letter and give it to Meng Da... to oust Sima Yi!"
"Then Meng Da wholeheartedly opposes Wei... and wholeheartedly favors Han."
