"Xiliang Erlang! Go out with the lonely king, and we will repel those treacherous invaders!"
Lu Bu went to war.
At Sima Yi's suggestion, Lu Bu finally decided to go on an expedition.
Liu Bei was so arrogant that he divided his troops into two groups to attack Xiping and Guanzhong at the same time, which gave Lu Bu a chance to survive.
Although there are currently only more than 70,000 defenders in Chang'an City, the number of troops facing Liu Bei's two armies is even smaller.
However, Lu Bu has confidence in himself and the combat effectiveness of his Xiliang cavalry.
When it comes to Xiang Ji, I, Lu Bu, think I'm inferior, but you, Liu Bei, who was chased and beaten by Xiang Ji until he ran away for half of China? Lu Bu really doesn't like him.
What's more, Liu Bei's sworn brother Zhang Fei is attacking Xiping, and Guan Yu is sitting in Jingzhou to take charge of the overall situation.
No one can pose a threat to Lu Bu in terms of force. Liu Bei's 120,000 troops attacking Guanzhong are just that in Lu Bu's eyes.
Through Sima Yi's analysis, Lu Bu also clearly knew that if he did not take this opportunity to defeat Liu Bei's army one by one, and then encircle Chang'an after they completely occupied Xiping and even Guanzhong, it would really be too late.
It's just that Lu Bu who went on the expedition didn't know it, and Sima Yi who deceived Lu Bu didn't know it either. Liu Bei didn't just pretend to be two armies.
Furthermore, there is a large army currently shuttled through the hidden Ziwu Valley.
As for Sima Yi tricking Lu Bu away?
Yes, it's just cheating.
As a smart man, how could Sima Yi fail to see that Lu Bu's Qin Kingdom was coming to an end?
Nowadays, the most promising people in the world are Xiang Ji of the State of Chu and Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty.
He Lu Bu? He's nothing more than cannon fodder.
He lost his spirit, and his subordinates betrayed one after another under the leadership of Ma Chao. How could the alienated Qin State be worthy of Sima Yi's sacrifice for him?
Now that Lu Bu and his Xiliang army have been successfully tricked away, the Sima clan is now completely in control of Chang'an City.
With the status of Lu Bu's adopted son and the fact that he is the leader of the largest clan group, the future of Chang'an will naturally follow the wishes of the Sima clan.
"Brother, now that Chang'an has come into my hands, according to my wishes, we might as well just surrender to that Shu Han Liu Bei."
In Sima Yi's opinion, among the two major groups in the world, Sima must choose one to serve.
Compared to the Chu State, which disliked clans, Sima Yi was naturally more interested in the newly established Shuhan Group.
Being newly established means there are more opportunities to climb to high positions.
Sima Yi, who had an extremely persistent desire for power, would never tolerate spending his whole life in a state of desolation.
"What the second brother means is what I mean. Brothers, do you have any other opinions?"
Although Sima Lang is the head of the Sima clan, he still has great trust in this smart younger brother.
Sima Yi played a major role in moving from Luoyang to Chang'an and becoming the most powerful clan leader in Guanzhong in just a few years.
Although the Sima family is known as "Sima Bada", it is obviously still dominated by the eldest brother Sima Lang and the second brother Sima Yi.
The opinions were unified, and Sima Lang quickly came to the desk to write.
"Brothers, if you have no objections, then this is the decision.
Someone, please send this letter to Emperor Zhaolie’s army who is attacking Wudu immediately!”
Now that he had decided to join Liu Bei, Sima Lang naturally would not hesitate.
I believe His Majesty Emperor Zhaolie will be very excited after learning that Lu Bu's lair has been lost, right?
Thinking of the bright future, the brothers of the Sima clan laughed heartily.
The excited Sima brothers did not know that the Xichuan army led by Zhang Ren had successfully crossed the Ziwu Valley and arrived near Chang'an.
"General Zhang, I came through the scouts to report that Qin King Lu Bu's army has left the city before yesterday, and I am afraid that it is heading towards His Majesty's main central army."
Hidden in a valley near Chang'an, Zhang Ren was not in a hurry to launch an attack on Chang'an.
After all, Chang'an is one of the most fortified cities in the world. If the Chang'an defenders were prepared to attack the city rashly, it would be really difficult for his 80,000-strong army to quickly conquer Chang'an.
Now that he got the news that Lu Bu had led his army out of the city, Zhang Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Lu Bu leaves, as long as the army in Chang'an City leaves, then Chang'an will probably be an isolated city.
"We will wait here for a day and attack the city at dawn tomorrow!"
In order to let Lu Bu's army go further, Zhang Ren conservatively chose to continue waiting.
As long as Lu Bu's army is delayed by His Majesty's central army, will Chang'an be taken casually?
Seeing that the great achievement was about to be obtained, Zhang Ren was very excited.
Because Liu Bei obtained Xichuan through peaceful evolution, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other old Xichuan generals did not have any resistance to Liu Bei. Instead, they were eager to conquer the newly established and expanding Shu Han.
The empire achieved great success in its neutrality.
No one is a fool, and now the general trend of the world has become clear.
As long as Liu Bei succeeds in destroying Lu Bu of Qin, the three-thirds of the world will immediately turn into the state of Chu-Han struggle for hegemony hundreds of years ago.
This is the best and last opportunity for the civil and military forces serving under the two countries.
The world is still uncertain and Chu and Han are fighting for supremacy. This is the time to make achievements.
As long as you make enough merit, it is not impossible to become a prince and become a prime minister.
Moreover, this is far better than the grass-roots teams under many previous forces.
Everyone knows that the final winner will unify the world and aspire to the Nine Five.
After hundreds of years of rule by the Han Dynasty, who doesn’t want to become an aristocrat under the new power?
This is something that will benefit future generations.
Shu said, Chang'an, Sima's residence.
"Report! The master of the house, the second master, something serious has happened! Something serious has gone wrong!"
There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and then the panicked shouts of the servants were heard.
"What happened?"
They celebrated too late last night, so the Sima brothers were basically drowsy.
If you are woken up by a servant, you will definitely not have a good temper.
"Second Master! It's broken! Tens of thousands of Han troops have appeared outside the city and are attacking the city. I'm afraid Chang'an will soon change hands!"
!!!
What!?
Sima Yi, who was still sleepy, suddenly became energetic.
There are tens of thousands of Han troops outside the city? How is this possible? The letter was only sent out yesterday. It is absolutely impossible for it to reach the hands of Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei so quickly.
Then, there is only one possibility left.
Ziwu Valley!
This Liu Bei actually divided his troops into three groups to attack the Qin State, and actually wanted to wipe out the entire Qin State in one breath!
In an instant, Sima Yi knew Liu Bei's entire plan.
Although he was amazed by Liu Bei's appetite, Sima Yi was more worried about the future of the Sima clan.
