Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Ma Di's power shocked China and for a time affected the southern transfer of Cao Wei's entire Kanto power.

Regarding this situation, I can only say that some people are happy and some are sad.

However, the one who was most worried was Sima Yi who was in Chang'an. When he heard that Ma Su had flooded the three armies and shocked China, he knew that everything was over.

The battlefield on the Western Front of the Wei Dynasty is basically finished, and its fall is only a matter of time.

Nanyang and Guanzhong are basically the two vital gates of Cao Wei's northwest defense line. No matter which one is lost, there will be irreparable holes on the northwest front.

Originally, Sima Yi believed that if Nanyang was lost, Yingchuan would be in crisis, and if something went wrong in Yingchuan, Qiao County would be affected. Nowadays, most of the wealthy families in the Cao Wei court are from Qiaojun, Yingchuan, so they will naturally be concerned about Ma Di's eastern expedition.

After all, he dispatched more than 50,000 troops in total, which was only a little more than Zhuge Liang's troops. Even if Ma Su can fight again, with the ability of the veteran cadres in the court and the power of the Great Wei Dynasty in Guandong, it is theoretically only a matter of time before Ma Su is killed.

Therefore, Sima Yi did not send troops and horses to assist Nanyang, but pressed all the large corps on the line of Weishui River. The army was stationed on the front line and large-scale land reclamation was carried out in Guanzhong to prepare for the subsequent Great War in Guanzhong.

However, the development of the situation was obviously beyond Sima Yi's expectation. Ma Di not only blocked the counterattack of the Central Army, but also shot Man Chong, the governor of Huainan, on the battlefield. But even here, Sima Yi still didn't care, and said to his generals extremely confidently,

"Although Ma Su likes to fight, he is not decisive. He has few soldiers and food, so he will not be able to survive for long. We only need to send a partial division and lead thousands of troops south from Wuguan. Within a month, Ma Su's head will be on His Majesty's table. !”

Then Sima Yi confidently sent Sun Li and led 9,000 troops from Wuguan southward to rescue Wancheng.

It turns out that within a month, Ma Di defeated the Wei army in Runan and reimbursed the Wei army 70,000 people in one go. Then the whole of Nanyang was desperate, and the Shu army quickly captured the whole of Nanyang.

Including the fortified city of Wancheng and the tens of thousands of troops garrisoned and well-defended Xiangfan, they all surrendered, and no one dared to fight the Shu army again.

As for Sun Li, he was rejected by Zhang Yihan at the foot of Wancheng.

"Waste! Wang Ling is a waste! Jia Kui is even more a waste!! How can I still guard Guanzhong after they do this!"

"They are making fun of Wei's national destiny!" Sima Yi's face turned pale with anger, and his blood pressure increased as he looked at the map.

In the past few years, I have watched the territory of the northwest of the Wei Dynasty shrink step by step, but I have done nothing on my side. Whether it is strategically or tactically, there is not enough attention.

The result was that from Longyou to Liangzhou, from Shangyong to Nanyang, the Wei army's front was pushed back step by step.

If you lose again, you will lose Guanzhong, and then Bingzhou. After losing Bingzhou, you will lose Zhongyuan, and then there will be no loss!

No shame!

"Father, what should we do?" Master Sima looked at the map and asked solemnly.

"What else can we do? Send troops to retake Wancheng!" Sima Yi waved his hand, sighed, and then said slowly.

"If Nanyang is lost, Guanzhong will be unstable, and Chang'an will inevitably be attacked from three sides. If we don't take advantage of the current shortage of troops in the Shu army to counterattack Nanyang, and wait until they digest Nanyang's surrender, it will probably be our turn to suffer next year."

Nanyang is the core of Cao Wei's southwest war zone, with tens of thousands of troops stationed inside. After this battle, basically all the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Shu Han were surrendered and reorganized.

Cao Wei could have bullied Shu Han because of its superior military strength. If they succeed in digesting Nanyang, the military advantage of the northwest front against the Shu army will be gone.

So no matter what, Sima Yi had to send troops south to retake Nanyang before the Shu army digested Nanyang.

It just so happened that at this time, the news came that Cao Rui was going to march to Xudu in person and prepare for Kanto to defend the southern front with all his strength. Sima Yi quickly replied and assured Cao Rui that he would send troops to help Nanyang and attack Nanyang together with his majesty.

Sima Yi then sent out most of his family and recruited 20,000 people from the Chang'an garrison. He ordered Sima Division and Guo Huai, who had rich experience in fighting Ma Su, to lead the troops from Wuguan southward to aid Sun Li.

As for Sima Yi himself, he must stay in Chang'an, block Zhuge Liang from the front and keep an eye on Zhong Yao and his group. If he leaves Chang'an, with the level of Chen Tai Feiyao and his group, there is a high probability that they will not be able to stop Zhuge Liang.

Speaking of which, Sima Yi was also quite tired. The only one on his side who could stand in the way of the Shu army was himself, but on the opposite side there were two great gods stationed at both ends. If this situation continues, Wei will have problems sooner or later.

Well...if this battle fails to win, it is indeed time to find a way out for the Sima family.

At the same time that Sima Yi got the news, the Han army camp stationed in Meiyang also learned about Ma Su's power to China.

The difference was that the Han army was full of joy, and all the advisers and generals cheered. Everyone congratulated Ma Su for expanding his territory and achieving a brilliant victory.

From then on, the Wei people would never dare to look down on the Han soldiers again, and the puppet Wei was frightened by the beatings.

However, Deng Zhi, who is more adventurous, noticed keenly that the prime minister did not smile after reading the battle report. His face was a little less calm, and his emotions seemed a little strange.

Seems a little...angry?

It shouldn't be. General Zhengbei won such a great victory and opened up the situation in one battle. With such a great victory, shouldn't the prime minister, who is so eager to help the Han Dynasty return to the old capital, be happy?

"Bo Miao."

"Prime Minister, you said..."

"Do you know how to draw a person to make him have a long memory?"

"ah?"

"It's just... forget it, I'll think about it myself." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, shook his head gently, and suppressed the urge to go to Nanyang to whip Ma Su immediately.

Ma Su, Ma Su! You have already led the army in the Northern Expedition, why are you still taking such risks? Do you know what a loss your death is to Shu Han?

How old are you, why do you still like running around so much?

Zhuge Liang has already begun to think about how to whip Ma Su after the battle so that he can remember it for a long time.

It's best to give him a hard whip with a stick!

"So Prime Minister, what should we do next?"

"Press up!" Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said concisely.

"Ma Su made such a big fuss in Runan. It is estimated that the whole country in the puppet Wei Dynasty went crazy. At this moment, Ma Su's loss of troops is definitely not small, and the military pressure is extremely great."

"Under this situation, we must not let Guanzhong put pressure on Nanyang anymore. We must step up to prevent Sima Yi from going south with his large army!"

"Send an order to Wu Yi to cross the Wei River immediately and press forward with force! I will then personally lead the army to find an opportunity to forcefully cross the Wei River."

"No matter what, we must not let the Wei army in Guanzhong have the opportunity to go south!"
