To be honest, Ma Su had no intention of using the Qiang soldiers as cannon fodder. He showed that he was determined to win Jianwei City. His purpose was just to make Zhang He retreat in the face of difficulties and give up Jianwei City, and then both sides would secure their current borders and stop their troops.
truce.
This move was actually following Liu Bei's approach when he captured Hanzhong ten years ago.
The Battle of Hanzhong took place in the 22nd year of Jian'an (217). Liu and Cao fought for a full year and seven months. During this period, the two sides had victories and defeats, and they fought repeatedly.
It was Liu Bei's determination to win Hanzhong that made Cao Cao deeply realize that if he did not give up Hanzhong, the war would continue.
Therefore, Cao Cao wisely took a step back.
Looking at most wars throughout the ages, the results are often decided by the supreme commanders of the opposing parties after a clash of wills.
Whoever has a more determined will will be more likely to achieve his pre-war goals.
Of course, the supreme commander here refers to the leader of a country, not the commander of the battlefield.
For example, the battle to destroy the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty was due to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's determination to fight back against the Xiongnu, and then the result was the complete defeat of the Xiongnu.
In this Han-Hungarian war that lasted forty-four years, it didn't matter who the general was. What mattered was that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's will remained as firm as ever.
So Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Zhao Ponu, Li Guang, Lu Bode and other famous generals emerged one after another, shining in the era.
It can be seen that the will of the monarch plays a decisive role in war.
Most of the civil and military officials in central Shu did not approve of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition this time. They believed that Zhuge Liang's attempt to weaken Shu and attack the strong Wei was an act of military aggression and going against nature.
Those who hold this view also include Liu Chan, the later leader.
So Zhuge Liang seemed to be struggling.
Ma Su never believed that strength on paper was the key to determining the outcome of a war.
There are too many examples in history of defeating the large with the small and the weak defeating the strong, so the fact that Shu is weak and Wei is strong is not the decisive factor in the war, or even irrelevant.
If we judge the prospects of a war based solely on paper strength, then it should not be Cao Cao but Yuan Shao who occupies the northern nine states at this moment.
Cao Cao could defeat the strong with the weak, and so could Shu Han.
Just as Cao Cao first had the determination to defeat Yuan Shao, Liu Bei first had the determination to defeat Cao Cao, and Sun Quan first had the determination to defeat Cao Cao, in the end they all succeeded in defeating the strong with the weak and achieved their pre-war goal (victory of the war), and if Liu Chan had
He has the determination to defeat Wei, and Zhuge Liang is so wise and versatile, plus he is omnipotent...
Simulation plug-in.
Isn’t trying to push the world around just like playing?
Forget it, let’s take down Jianwei first. Ma Su collected his thoughts and suddenly came up with a bold idea.
Rather than helping Liu Chan, he is more willing to help Liu Chan's younger brother
Or Liu Yong, or Liu Li.
I just don’t know if Zhuge Liangcheng will agree to this reasonable suggestion.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon on the third day.
A scout rushed from outside the camp and reported: "General, the Qiang soldiers were ambushed midway yesterday. Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers were all red-eyed, like wolves and tigers, waving their weapons and killing them indiscriminately."
Unable to resist...During the chaotic battle, Imperial Master Yadan disappeared."
Although he had expected this result, Ma Su was still speechless for a while.
The Wei soldiers had been hungry several times before because the Qiang people had repeatedly robbed food. They had already suppressed their anger. This time they happened to catch the Qiang people robbing food again. They would definitely take the opportunity to vent their anger.
This was the reason why he had known that the Wei army was stationed in Li County, but did not dare to rob the grain.
Well, after the Qiang soldiers were crippled, the balance of forces between the two sides changed again, and Zhang He was the one who had the partial advantage.
This result made it easier for Zhang He to defend and build Wei City.
There was no fighting for the next few days.
The scene changed and Ma Su returned to reality with a grimace.
【This simulation is over.】
[Evaluation, your initial performance in this simulation was quite reasonable, perfectly demonstrating the strong will of an excellent general. But your subsequent performance was shocking.

[You, in this simulation, have successfully realized the ultimate military commander's essence of "a sad soldier will win, an angry soldier is invincible", and obtained a special talent: high spirits and immortality. Note: this talent can only be used on your subordinates.

600 points…
18,000 Qiang soldiers were killed to replace 600 Wei soldiers...a battle loss of 30 to 1.
The angry soldiers are invincible.
Ma Su didn't bother to check the detailed attributes of "High-spirited and Immortal". He clicked on "Personal Attributes" and took a look. He found that the assets were 1820. He sighed slightly and felt entangled for a while.
Should I buy equipment first or check Zhang He’s attributes first?
Well, let’s look at Zhang He’s net worth before deciding.
Ma Su clicked on "Scan other people's attributes" and entered Zhang He's name.
He wanted to look at Zhang He's attributes and find out the latter's weaknesses, so as to win this battle and capture Jianwei.
Soon, the screen flashed, and Zhang He's bearded avatar popped up.
[Would you like to spend 1000 points to check Zhang He’s attributes? 】
The value of this piece of He is actually only 1,000 points...the same as the value of the general Dai Ling.
Cheap!
"Check the cost!" Ma Su waved his hand boldly, unaware that the price of 1,000 points was actually very expensive.
[Congratulations, you have successfully spent 1,000 stability points to gain permission to view Zhang He’s personal attributes. Your current remaining points are: 820.]

"Good guy...three special attributes!"
But this talent is a bit hit and miss...
It seemed that it was time to buy the bow in the system that could "shoot everything through". Ma Su shook his head and laughed, and turned to check out the special talent he had just obtained.
