The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 466 Sima Yi Arrives

With the help of catapults, the crossbow carts on Shiji Ridge have been completely destroyed, and [-] cavalry rode in the seven or eight days of the battle, causing heavy casualties, and the infantry casualties were even greater. It is impossible for the large army.

After only holding on for a day, Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei had to lead the army to retreat from Shijiling to Yecheng.

After taking down Shiji Ridge, Zhebie and Jin Wushu led the army straight to Yecheng. Suddenly, Yecheng was in a panic.

In Dongjun, Liu Xiao led the army all the way from Changsha to Xuzhou and rushed back to Dongjun. It took four to five hundred miles longer than Cao Cao, and naturally it took a little longer.

After entering Dongjun, the army was already very tired. After all, they had marched more than 3000 miles all the way, and even the most elite infantry could hardly maintain their strong combat power.

Liu Xiao was very relieved of Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang. Even if the two of them could not defeat Temujin, it would not be a problem to keep Jizhou. The key now is to defeat Temujin and completely drive Temujin out of the Central Plains. It's not that easy.

One hundred thousand elite cavalry, coupled with Temujin's genius command, no one is sure of winning against him, especially after repeated battles, the elite in the army have lost a lot, Liu Xiao can take out cavalry There are only 4 people, and the elite force is only more than 2 people. As for Cao Cao, there are even fewer. After several battles, Cao Cao's main force is almost wiped out by himself, and only [-] to [-] are left. All of them are concentrated in the Hanzhong area to defend against Lu Bu who is in Hanzhong.

It seems that there are quite a lot of troops. Now Liu Xiao can call more than 20 horses, can Cao Cao also call [-] people? Less than any cheap, one hundred thousand fine riders, that is a powerful force that can sweep the world!

"My lord, the cavalry inspector has sent the news that General Zhao Yun and General Gao Chong have led [-] troops to Shijiling. Now Temujin's tens of thousands of cavalry are on their way to Shijiling. It will take a day at most. We will start a decisive battle with the two generals at the foot of Shiji Ridge!"

Ling Tong urged the horse to come in front of Liu Xiao, and said in a deep voice.

Liu Xiao frowned slightly, thinking that Yue Fei might have been a little careless this time. He thought that with Gao Chong and Zhao Yun in charge, plus the wise and brave Jiang Wei, they would be enough to withstand the attack of Temujin's Jingqi, but he didn't expect that. Thinking, no matter how powerful an individual is, how can he be able to stop thousands of troops?What's more, there are tens of thousands of elite cavalry, three times as many as theirs, and there is no shortage of strong men under Temujin's command now. Not to mention, Murong Ke alone defeated Xu Huang and Zhang He, so The powerful force is no longer under him and Zhao Yun. Except for Gao Chong, no one can restrain him.

"Once Shiji Ridge is lost, then Yecheng will have to face tens of thousands of fine cavalry..."

Xue Rengui on the side said in shock, "Lord, we must speed up the attack, otherwise, once Yecheng is besieged, we will be even more passive..."

Liu Xiao said calmly: "Don't worry, if we march with all our strength, we can reach Yecheng in three to five days, but in three months, we have marched more than three thousand miles, and the army is already exhausted. March in a hurry, and when we reach Yecheng, it is already at the end of the crossbow. Not to mention tens of thousands of fine horses, even [-] fine horses can defeat our exhausted army. We will temporarily rest in Dongjun for five days, and order the Dongjun prefect immediately. Allocate food, grass, cattle and sheep, and supplement military resources."

While talking, the soldiers ran in and said anxiously, "My lord, Cao Cao sent an envoy, Sima Yi, to visit my lord!"

Liu Xiao stood up and said with a smile: "That's right, Mr. Cao should send someone here too. We are very afraid of Temujin. Mr. Cao is probably in a hurry now. Someone, invite Mr. Sima in." "

After a short time, Sima Yi strode in, bowed and said, "A certain Sima Yi has come to pay a visit to General Xuangan under the order of the Prime Minister!"

"Zhongda, there is no need to be too polite. I already know the purpose of Cao Gong's sending you here. In the face of foreign invasion, you and my two families will join forces to fight against the enemy, right?"

Liu Xiao asked.

Sima Yi hurriedly replied: "General Xuangan is really astute, my prime minister has this intention, and specially ordered me to come here to discuss with the general about the joint march of the two sides!"

Liu Xiao nodded and said: "This matter is simple. Now that Temujin's main force has been restrained by our army, there is only one thing Cao Gong needs to do, and that is to lead an army of tens of thousands all the way north to recapture Bingzhou first. Going out from the east of Yanmen County to threaten Temujin's rear, I will lead the main force of the army to fight Temujin in Yecheng. As long as Cao Cao can contain Temujin's partial division in the north of Changshan, the remaining [-] cavalry outside the Great Wall will not be there. If you say that, you will definitely make them never come back!"

"Containing Temujin is partial to the teacher?"

Sima Yi frowned slightly, and replied: "General Xuangan, to tell you the truth, since the battle with you two years ago, Duke Cao's elite troops have all suffered casualties, and most of the remaining troops are new troops with insufficient training and some Coming from afar, it would not be difficult to regain Bingzhou by gathering the Tartars from outside the Great Wall in Jizhou, but if we want to restrain Temujin's [-] cavalry in Changshan, I'm afraid we will be powerless... ..."

Liu Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Zhongda, don't cry poor with me, the general situation in the world, which one can you hide from me? Although the army led by Duke Cao is not many elite, but in Hanzhong, General Cao Zixiao still has 2 troops under his command. How elite, there are ten thousand tiger and leopard riders among them, just need to transfer General Zixiao back, not to mention restraining Temujin, even defeating the partial division led by Temujin in one fell swoop, it is no problem at all!"

Sima Yi's expression was stagnant, it's stupid, this Liu Xiao is really not easy to fool, he has already set his eyes on the lord's only 2 elites in Hanzhong.

It's good to join forces to fight against foreign aggression, but who hasn't had a little thought of their own?If Temujin could be driven out of the Central Plains without compromising the main force, why would Cao Cao not do it?It's a pity that Liu Xiao didn't give him a chance to hide his clumsiness.

Sima Yi smiled wryly and said: "General Xuangan, although you and my lord turned your quarrel into friendship, Li Shimin from Hanzhong, Liangzhou did not. This Li Shimin is ambitious and unpredictable. It can be said that he is the only one I have ever seen besides my lord." You hero, you want us to withdraw our troops from Hanzhong, once Li Shimin takes the opportunity to attack Sanyuan and Fufeng, then we can drive straight in and direct our troops to Yuzhou..."

Liu Xiao straightened his face, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Zhong Da, I, Liu Xiao, assure you, before Temujin is driven out of the Central Plains, anyone who dares to initiate internal fighting is our common enemy, and I will never Let him stay in this world!"
