【Mountain fire, pray for all the firefighters who are fighting the fire. May the years be peaceful, but you are carrying the load forward. Come on.】
Cao Wei's army is naturally loyal to the Cao family, and Cao Zhen is a member of the Cao family. No one in the army knows this. In the event of a conflict, Sima Yi's side, even if they have a way to kill Cao Zhen, will
There is no way to control people's hearts. Time is too short. Once Cao Zhen dies, it means that the Sima family's ambitions are obvious, and if they do not fully control the army, killing Cao Zhen is tantamount to treason.
When the time comes, if the military morale is not there, how can we attack Xicheng?
What you get is just a large army with no fighting spirit, or a remnant army. Maybe, under Zhuge Liang's little plan, there will be a mutiny, and the consequences will be too serious. This is obviously not the work of a wise man. Only a reckless man can do it.
Will be aggressive and aggressive.
The key is how to choose and how to control the balance.
Now, without using swords, you can get a fully controllable army of 50,000, which is more advantageous than getting a remnant army. What is the benefit of confronting Cao Zhen? That is a situation Zhuge Liang wants to see.
As for Cao Zhen, let’s deal with Xicheng first. It’s not that there are no ways to deal with him.
"My father is wise. The Cao family is really haunted. They stare at us as if they were looking at thieves. It's really abominable."
Sima Zhao said with a sneer.
"Well, let's do this for now, find a place, set up camp, wake up first and then talk about it."
Sima Yi nodded and made a decision.
"Yes, father."
Sima Zhao agreed.
Now that we have just arrived, we naturally need to recover some strength first. Otherwise, we will suffer a lot in the battle. Even in just a few days, no one can acquire too much ability. No matter how powerful the magical power is, in the end
It is influential. Who knows what kind of strategies Zhuge Liang will prepare and wait.
"It's interesting. It's true that Sima Yi is as good as he talks. He didn't fight Cao Zhen directly. Instead, he got 50,000 troops. I have to say, it's really amazing."
All this was clearly seen by Zhong Yan, who was observing secretly.
With the power of the mind, I could even hear their conversation clearly, and I couldn't help but sigh. Sima Yi was indeed Sima Yi. I originally thought that there was going to be a fight, a firefight, but I didn't expect that it would end so easily. Of course, this
As a result, Sima Yi's available troops were obviously reduced by more than half. It may not be that easy to capture the West City.
"The military strategist said that if you attack it ten times, now it is two ten times. However, this is aimed at the general defense of the city. The one currently defending the city is Zhuge Liang. The legendary Zhuge Wuhou cannot be said in the same way.
The Sima Yi in front of me is not a good person either, so there will be a good show this time."
Zhong Yan murmured expectantly.
I just watched a battle between Sima Yi and Cao Zhen. It was not satisfying. It can only be said to be a battle between wise men and barbarians, not even a contest. It was between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang that was the real battle between wise men. He was looking forward to it.
This confrontation.
This fantasy world is already under his control. No matter how Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang play, they cannot change the outcome. However, before they decide the winner, he is willing to wait and watch this battle.
He also wanted to see the cultivation method of the divine Han civilization.
Although I don’t know what the situation of the Cao family and the Sima family is, it is obvious that they practice the methods of the Shenhan, and to some extent, they are also connected with the Shenhan. There is no doubt about the power of the ancient Shenhan civilization.
An ancient civilized country that dared to challenge Xian Qin.
For example, the Cao family and the Sima family are just like ants. They can be crushed to death by force in the face of a powerful man.
After the army set up camp, they stayed for a day, and then.
Sima Yi once again led the army and set off. When setting off, it can be seen that Sima Yi's whole person has become completely different. It is obvious that he has transcended the mundane world and transformed into a new level of life. Naturally, even his Qi has become completely different.
.....................
At this moment, in the West City, a tense atmosphere became more and more intense. Obviously, at this time, even ordinary people could smell the smell of war. At this moment, on the city wall, one could see Zhuge Liang dressed in a crane robe.
He held a white feather fan in his hand and swayed it gently in front of him. Wei Yan, Wang Ping and others followed him around him. Compared with before, the aura exuded by each person became completely different.
It seems that he has completed his awakening and possesses otherworldly power.
"According to the information detected by Tanma, Cao Wei's army has changed. Sima Yi led an army of 50,000 in the front, and Cao Zhen led an army of 100,000 in the rear. There seemed to be a conflict before, but there was no sign of fighting. I don't know what happened specifically.
What. Now, Sima Yi's army is only more than a day's journey from our west city, and will definitely arrive outside the city."
Wang Ping quickly opened his mouth to report the report.
Although there are not many troops in Xicheng now, there are still scouts. The efficiency of detecting surrounding intelligence is not bad, and naturally the surrounding situation is also detected.
In particular, the focus is on the changes in Cao Wei's army.
I originally thought that Cao Zhen and Sima Yi would have a big war and an internal strife, but now it seems that they have reached some kind of special agreement.
"As I expected, Sima Yi and Cao Zhen will not really fight. If Cao Zhen wants to fight, Sima Yi will not be willing. His opponent will always be me. He will never want to fight with me before we can decide the outcome.
The conflict between Cao Zhen and Cao Zhen resulted in the loss of generals and mutiny. When it comes to talking words, Cao Zhen can't compare to Sima Yi."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile.
"Their agreement was within my expectations. As expected, Sima Yi should have retreated in order to advance, destroying our west city first, taking himself as the vanguard, and dividing his troops in exchange for Cao Zhen not to attack them for the time being. And
, it should be because if he wants to compete with Liang again, even if he wins, Cao Zhen can use an army of 100,000 to crush the battlefield and become the final winner."
Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, his voice was neither slow nor urgent, and he shook the feather fan gently in his hand. He had already understood everything. From a few clues, he could glean the general message of the other party. For Sima Yi, he was an old rival. Of course, it was impossible for him to not understand.
This time is different from the past. They don't have anything to do with each other. They just compete with each other to win or lose. Other external factors are no longer important. He is also full of expectations and wants to experience
Let’s see if the real Sima Yi can break through the Xicheng where he is.
"Then Prime Minister, what should we do? Two thousand five hundred people are barely enough to be placed on one city wall. If we deal with the offensive on four walls, we will be too weak. Do we need to mobilize the people to go to the city wall and participate in the offensive and defensive battles?"
Wei Yan asked.
The people in the city are their last trump card. However, this is a war and there is always a sense of humiliation for the people to participate. In fact, the combat power that the people can exert is not high.
"No problem, give the order and open the four doors. We are ready to welcome the distinguished guests."
Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"The Prime Minister is planning to stage an empty city again. Can Sima Yi be fooled?"
When Wang Ping heard this, his expression changed and he asked.
Obviously, I understand what Zhuge Liang is planning to do.
"When I laid out the empty city strategy, Sima Yi understood the true meaning and immediately retreated. This time, I laid out the empty city strategy again, not to ask him to retreat again, but to let him see whether the empty city is easy to destroy and whether he dares to do so.
enter."
Zhuge Liang said with a chuckle, a look of confidence flashed between his brows, and his body was filled with the brilliance of a wise man.
"Listen to the Prime Minister. We will do whatever the Prime Minister says. The worst we can do is die in battle. Anyway, what we have here is not our real body. We are our bodies. Even if we die in battle, there will be no loss."
Wei Yan said calmly.
"If the people in the city want to leave, let them leave on their own without stopping them. War is not the people's business."
Zhuge Liang continued.
"Yes, Prime Minister."
Wang Ping nodded in agreement.
No matter what, just follow orders.
He doesn't think that he is smarter than Zhuge Liang.
Soon, the order was issued, and the four gates of the West City were opened wide. There were no guards even at the gate of the city. People were not allowed to come in or out. They were allowed to come and go freely. No matter who they were, they could come and go. The figures of the people coming in and out were also vivid and visible with their own eyes.
"Interesting, is Zhuge Liang planning to continue his empty city strategy?"
Zhong Yan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when he saw it with his own eyes. At the same time, he had to admire Zhuge Liang's strategy. This empty city strategy was actually the most suitable strategy for Sima Yi. However, I'm sure.
Sima Yi will never retreat, which means that Zhuge Liang's empty city plan will definitely not be a simple empty city. There is something mysterious inside that is difficult to fathom.
Zhong Yan is currently in the West City. There is no restriction on entering or exiting the city. Moreover, the location he is in is the tallest tower in the city. Of course, it is not as high as the city wall, but he can still overlook most of the streets in the city.
Soon, as time passed, it was already the next day
evening!
Boom boom boom!
The sound of huge and chaotic footsteps sounded outside the city. However, the army did not appear directly outside the city. Instead, it stopped three miles away from the west city, set up camp, and buried pots to make rice. At the same time, generals such as Sima Yi and Sima Zhao rode on
The war horse slowly came to a hill and looked towards the west city.
The entire West City has its city gates closed at this moment. No movement can be heard inside the city. It seems that the West City has become a dead city, an empty city. There are not many lights in the city. There is no lively fireworks. It is invisible.
sense of depression.
"Father, it's possible that the West City is already empty. Zhuge Liang may have escaped. Twenty-five thousand against our fifty thousand is still enough to be crushed. As a wise man, we should seek good fortune, avoid disaster, and pursue profit.
"
Sima Zhao frowned slightly and said.
"No, since Zhuge Kongming already knows that I will come, there is no way he will avoid the battle. This is a game between me and him. No matter life or death, no one will shy away."
Sima Yi stood on the hill and looked at the West City.
