Chapter 60 War Eastern Wu and Southern Han Yang Wei Drive Cao Wei Zhongyuan Unification (15)
Zang Ba and Zhang Yan first let Cao Zhang go, and then let Cao Zhang save Cao Chun. They couldn't help but be furious and vented all their anger on Cao Jun. Twenty thousand Cao soldiers fled with Cao Zhang and Cao Chun with less than 2,000. The second general saw that Cao soldiers surrendered as soon as they died, so they went up the mountain to plead to Nanye for his guilt.
Nan Ye did not take Cao Zhang seriously, so he underestimated Cao Zhang and Cao Chun. He did not summon Lv Bu's corpse, so that the two of them got away. Nan Ye also has some responsibilities, so he did not blame Zang Ba and Zhang Yan, but just comforted him and returned to the army.
However, he said that Sima Yi led his troops to form a formation and only waited for the soldiers and horses of the Southern Han Dynasty to move around and attack them together. Suddenly, when he saw Cao Zhang and Cao Chun coming in confusion, he came forward and pleaded guilty and said, "Nan Ye ambushed soldiers halfway to beware, so he was defeated and returned."
Sima Yi was shocked when he heard the words: "Nan Ye is also a real god! Why don't you retreat?" Then it was rumored that the army should go back to the village and could not hold on.
Nan Ye saw that Sima Yi was too lazy to stick to it, and still ordered people to quare stones and cut trees. With a Thunderbolt car, no strong camp can resist bombarding. As Guo Jia said, no matter how high Sima Yi's wisdom is, Nan Ye is fighting all the way, relying on the strong generals to win. Sima Yi has no choice. This is the gap in strength.
Although the new version of the Thunderbolt car is easy to move, the stone bomb is not convenient to transport. Instead of making great efforts to transport stone bombs, it is better to camp and collect them every time it is used. So at this time, Sima Yi couldn't go out of the camp, and Nan Ye had to collect wood and stone again and prepare to attack the camp.
Sun Quan did not dare to wait for Nanye Mushi to be ready to find Sima Yi to discuss countermeasures. Sima Yi thought about a plan and ordered all the military horses to rise up.
Detailed report to Nan Ye, saying that Sima Yi and Sun Quan retreated from the army. Nan Ye was stunned when he heard the words. He was not ready to attack the camp. Why did Sun Quan and Sima Yi withdraw from the army? If Sima Yi can still retreat to Yecheng, where will Sun Quan retreat? Nan Ye was not sure whether this was Sima Yi's plan, so he gathered the generals to discuss countermeasures.
Guo Jia said: "There is no shortage of food in the two camps of Wei and Wu. Although many people have lost a lot of people before, they still have the power to fight. At this time, there must be a big plan to retreat, and you can't move lightly.
Wei Yan smiled and said, "The military division is too careful. I think it's Sima Yi who is afraid of the Thunderbolt car and wants to retreat to Yecheng. Why don't we chase it?"
Lu Xun said, "If Sima Yi retreats to Yecheng, where can Sun Quan retreat?" Now that Sun Quan only has Yanzhou, how can he easily retreat?
Zhang Li said, "Is it that Sun Quan wants to retreat to Sanhan and Goguryeo?"
Huang Zhong nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable. If Sima Yi retreats from Yecheng, Sun Quan will be difficult to support, and it is also possible to withdraw."
Jia Xu said, "Isn't Sima Yi retreating from the army? In my opinion, this is a way to lure the enemy, which can make people whistle far away.
Nan Ye also felt that something was wrong, so he ordered the soldiers not to pursue, but to send more horses to explore the truth. Tanma reported the next day: "Sima Yi is 30 miles away from here."
Guo Jia said, "I expect that Sima Yi's retreat and set up camp will be the inconvenience of our military transportation, so as to break my Thunderbolt car."
Nan Ye said, "In this case, I can press him step by step so that he can't set up a village. Without the support of the camp, the two armies of Wu and Wei are not our enemies.
Jia Xu said, "Sima Yi has many tricks. The national division is eager to advance. I'm afraid it's better to stick to the fortress and order people to explore again."
After a day of exploring the horse and reporting back and forth: "The two armies of Wu and Wei have already set up camp."
When Nan Ye heard this, he led the generals to check it in person. Sure enough, Sima Yi withdrew from the village for 30 miles. Nan Ye said strangely, "If Sima Yi retreated because of the Thunderbolt car, and we haven't quarryed yet this time, why did he retreat?"
Wei Yan said, "In my opinion, Sima Yi's use is to delay the army, and it is intended to gradually retreat from Ye City. The national division does not need to doubt it and chase it as soon as possible. I'm willing to fight to the death!"
Jia Xu said, "Sima Yi's wisdom is extremely high. If there is a gap, our army will be discouraged. Don't enter lightly."
Wei Yan said, "If I am defeated, I will be willing to be the military order."
Zhang Li said, "I would like to go with Wen Chang."
Seeing that Er will be so active, Nan Ye looked at Guo Jia. If Sima Yi really retreats, this is a good opportunity to attack. Nan Ye can't help but be moved, but he doesn't know what Guo Jia and other advisers think, so Nan Ye wants Guo Jia to make an idea.
Guo Jia understood Nan Ye's mind and said, "If you want to go, you need to be careful. In my opinion, the troops can be divided into three routes. General Wei and General Zhang lead the army first. If there is an ambush, they must fight to the death. General Zhao, General Yang and General Huang can lead the second road to follow them to prevent ambush. The national division can lead the generals to respond to the third way, leaving General Gan and General Taishi to guard the camp. The three armies can be stationed halfway every day, so that there is no shortage of troops to respond to the ambush.
The next day, Wei Yan and Zhang Li led 50,000 elite soldiers from the Southern Han Dynasty to go to the village halfway every day. Zhao Yun, Yang Xiong and Huang Zhong led the army closely, followed by Nan Ye's army at the end.
Although the half-day march can ensure the strength of soldiers, the speed of marching will inevitably decline. Sima Yi Tanma learned that Nanye rose up halfway and stopped, so he came to return.
That night, Sima Yi got the news and called the generals to discuss: "Now that Nanye comes to chase, we will fight to the death if we can't retreat. You have to wait for ten. I want to intercept it with an ambush. I can't take this heavy responsibility without a wise and brave general. I don't know who wants to go?"
When Cao Zhang heard the words, "I would like to go to the first battle."
Sima Yi knew that this task was dangerous and did not want to involve Cao Zhang in danger, so he shook his head and said, "Your Highness will be brave, but he is inexperienced in the war, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to take this position." After saying that, he looked at Zhou Tai, who attacked Sun Quan.
When Zhou Tai saw that Sima Yi was about to come forward to respond to his order, he felt that someone next to him was pulling his clothes. Zhou Tai knew that Lv Meng was standing next to him without looking at it. Since Lv Meng reminded himself, Zhou Tai no longer wanted to stand up, but bowed his head and said nothing.
Cao Zhang didn't see that Sima Yi was taking care of himself. When he heard Sima Yi say that it was difficult for him to take on an important task, he was anxious and shouted, "I have been fighting for a long time. How can I not take responsibility? If there is a loss, I would like to be a military order.
When Sima Yi saw Cao Zhang insisting on going, he had to sigh, "Your Highness is willing to sacrifice himself, and he is a loyal minister! Nevertheless, Nanye's soldiers came back and forth in three branches. Even if His Highness is wise and brave, he can only be a soldier all the way. How can he be separated into three places? It's better to get two generals to go together, but there is no one in the army who is the first to die!"
Zhou Tai listened to Sima Yi's excitement and ignored Lv Meng's pull. He stepped forward and said, "I'd like to go!"
Han Dang stood forward at the same time and said, "I would also like to go!"
Seeing that the second general came forward, Sima Yi was secretly happy and continued to say, "Nan Ye won more and lost less in his life. His famous generals all have the courage. I'm afraid you two are not enemies."
Zhou Tai was unconvinced and said, "If there is anything wrong, I would like to dedicate the first level to the account."
Sima Yi said, "If you dare to go, you can lead elite soldiers with your highness and lie in the valley. When the former army of the Southern Han Dynasty catches up and he passes by, you wait for the ambush to cover up from behind. If Nanye came later, he divided his troops into two parts. General Zhou and General Han led an army to stay in the rear, and His Royal Highness led an army to intercept its front team. The two armies must fight to the death. I have other plans to help."
The three were led away. Sima Yi called Cao Chun and Cao Zhen to come forward again, took out a kit and gave it to the two generals and ordered them, "You two lead 10,000 elite soldiers, rest your flags, and lie on the front mountain. If you see Nan Ye's soldiers and horses surrounding His Royal Highness and the two generals Zhou and Han, they are very critical. You don't have to save them. You just open a kit to see, and you have your own solution to the crisis.
The two were led away by the plan. Sima Yi also ordered Lv Meng and Lu Su to come forward and ordered: "The Rulai Sun and Nanye's soldiers have arrived. They are full of vigor. They can't fight, and they should fight and go. Just look at the time when Zu Mao leads troops to the plunder, you can go back to the army to kill, and I have my own soldiers to respond.
Lv Meng and Lu Su looked at Sun Quan and saw that Sun Quan nodded before he took the order. Sima Yi called Zu Mao again and ordered, "You lead 10,000 elite soldiers to lie in the valley. Just looking at the red flag fluttering on the mountain, he led the troops out.
Although Zu Mao did not want to negotiate with Nan Ye, Zu Mao could only obey the fate of Wu's life and death. Nan Ye's kindness to Zu Mao can only be regarded as a personal relationship, far less than Zu Mao's loyalty to Sun Quan.
However, it was said that Wei Yan and Zhang Yu led the troops, and their morale was like a rainbow. Lu Meng and Lu Su led the two generals to fight and fought. Lv Meng and Lu Su are both literary and martial arts talents. Among them, Lv Meng is partial to martial arts and Lu Su is partial to literature, which is perfect to match, but both of them are leading soldiers and not good at one-on-one.
Zhang Yu regarded Lu Su and Lv Meng as a descendant and drove troops to chase and kill them. Lu Su and Lv Meng knew that the soldiers of the Southern Han army were prosperous and did not fight hard, so they fought and left.
Wei Yan and Zhang Li led the army to chase for about 20 miles. It was very hot in June, and people sweated like splashing water. Walking 50 miles away, the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty were panting even though they were well trained. However, Wei Yan and Zhang Yu are still chasing closely, because Wu Bing in front of them is not much better.
Nanye has been using skills to detect whether there are ambushes in the back team, but due to the limited detection distance, he did not detect the location of Sima Yi's ambush. At this time, the front team suddenly accelerated to chase Lu Su and Lv Meng, and suddenly left the detection range of Nan Ye, which shocked Nan Ye. He was afraid that the two were a trick to lure the enemy, and hurriedly urged the people to hurry up and prepare to meet Wei Yan and Zhang Yan.
Sima Yi saw Lv Meng and Lu Su leading the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty on the mountain, so he made a move of the red flag. Zu Mao led the troops out, and Lu Su and Lv Meng all led the troops to cover them back.
Zhang He and Wei Yan saw that there was a new army of Eastern Wu who were not afraid to join, and they fought to the death with strong soldiers and horses. Just as the two armies were fighting, they suddenly shouted loudly, and the three military horses were killed from the rear. It was Cao Zhang, Zhou Tai and Han Dang. The three generals chased and killed bravely and cut off the back roads of the Southern Han Dynasty.
When Wei Yan saw that Cao Bingguo was ambushed, he said loudly to the soldiers, "When you wait here, you will never fight to the death!" After saying that, they fought hard, but unfortunately, there were too many armies of Wu and Wei to escape for a while.
Just as Wei Yan and Zhang Yi were surrounded, suddenly the drums behind them were noisy, and Zhao Yun, Yang Xiong and Huang Zhong led the second way. The three generals commanded the army and surrounded Cao Zhang, Zhou Tai and Han Dang at the core.
Zhou Tai shouted, "Sima Dudu is also a true god! If the plan has been settled, there must be a good plan. I'll fight to the death!" After saying that, Cao Zhang led an army to intercept Wei Yan and Zhang He, and Zhou Tai and Han Dang led an army of three generals, Zhao Yun, and fought to the death at both ends, calling him to kill Lian Tian.
