Especially some people who once thought that Xu Huang had betrayed Lin Yu and returned to the embrace of Wei Guo were all ashamed at this time, bowed their heads and said nothing.
……
at the same time,
Suburbs of Luoyang,
Sima Yi panicked like a bereaved dog, and rode his horse back to his mansion dejectedly.
As usual, Zhang Shuhua stood at the door in a big cloak to greet her. She couldn't wait to know how Lin Yu was burning food, so she waited until late at night.
Seeing his wife, Sima Yi wanted to cry, but got off his horse like a helpless child, and said in a crying voice:
"Chunhua, Luoyang is probably over!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shuhua was overjoyed.
The implication of this sentence is that Lin Yu has successfully burned the grain in the four major granaries?
But she had to put on a nervous look, and asked worriedly:
"Husband, how do you say this?"
"What do you mean Luoyang is over?"
"What the hell happened?"
Sima Yi shook his head and sighed, and said with a sad face:
"The Overlord of Western Chu found out the location of the four granaries from somewhere, and sent four groups of troops to attack our granaries at the same time."
"By the time Xiahou Dun and I react and go to the rescue, it will be too late!"
"These four granaries have been burned to pieces, and there is nothing left!"
"The food that we have accumulated in Luoyang over the years - gone!"
Zhang Shuhua was not surprised, but she still pretended to be surprised and said:
"what?!"
"The location of this granary is so hidden, how did Xiang Yu know?"
Sima Yi shook his head and said:
"I do not know either."
"But I thought about it on the way home. During this period of time, many old ministers of Wei State surrendered to Western Chu."
"Like Xu Huang, Pang De, Yu Jin, Zhang Liao..."
"Outsiders don't know about the Luoyang granary, but they know it very well."
"It must be that they tipped off to Xiang Yu, and came up with such an insane trick as setting fire to the food!"
When Zhang Shuhua heard it, Sima Yi could still automatically dump the blame on these people?
Immediately nodded in agreement and said:
"That's right! Your husband is right!"
"I think it must be these damn traitors who lured Xiang Yu to the granary!"
The more Sima Yi thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he took the initiative to convince himself:
"I heard that it was Xu Huang who went to Guangtong warehouse to rob grain!"
"Xu Huang is good at manipulating food and grass. I think it's probably him who let Xiang Yu burn the food this time!"
Zhang Shuhua immediately kept silent and said:
"It must be him!"
"What a sinister and cunning man!"
Then she couldn't help but said worriedly:
"Husband, all the food in the four major granaries has been burned, how are you going to defend the city?"
"If there is no food in the city, when Lin Yu's army surrounds, won't everyone just wait to die?"
Even if Sima Yi is resourceful, he cannot solve this problem.
As the saying goes, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!
No matter how smart he is, it is impossible to create a pile of food out of thin air.
After careful consideration, he decided to tell the truth to Zhang Shuhua, shook his head and sighed:
"Xiang Yu's move is too ruthless. It directly burned Luoyang's food and grass, making it impossible for us to hold on."
"I'll discuss it with Xiahou Dun tomorrow. The only solution may be...abandon the city and run away."
Zhang Shuhua was startled after hearing this, and asked in disbelief:
"What, what? Abandon the city and run away?"
Sima Yi nodded sincerely and said:
"That's right, because Luoyang City can't be defended anymore."
"Soldiers who can't fill their stomachs are scarecrows that fall when touched,"
"Can such soldiers defend the city? Can they fight?"
"Didn't they be slaughtered by the Western Chu army for nothing?"
"Instead of wasting troops like this, it's better to retreat to Xudu first,"
"At least leave this batch of vital forces first, and then find a way to turn the tables."
After listening to Sima Yi's analysis, Zhang Shuhua couldn't help but admire the mastermind again.
His suggestion is indeed the safest way for now.
It is also a very bold choice.
At worst, it would be better to surrender Luoyang to Lin Yu than to take a large number of Cao Wei soldiers to be buried together!
but,
Sima Yi has this kind of awareness, but Xiahou Dun may not have it.
Zhang Shuhua couldn't help but whispered:
"Husband, I support your opinion,"
"Just Xiahou Dun, will he agree?
Sima Yi frowned, shook his head lightly and said:
"I don't think he will follow my advice."
"Ugh,"
"No matter what the result is, I will talk to him tomorrow."
……
The next day,
The rooster just crowed once in the morning, and Sima Yi turned over and got up, put on his clothes and went to see Xiahou Dun.
In fact, he was sleepless all night, tossing and turning just couldn't fall asleep.
When he thought that all the food and grass in Luoyang had been burned by Lin Yu, he felt very uncomfortable!
After changing his clothes, he didn't need a carriage, but rode a fast horse by himself, and went directly to the city to meet Xiahou Dun.
In Luoyang City,
Xiahou Dun also stayed up all night.
The only remaining eye is now also covered with dark circles.
Seeing Sima Yi approaching, he quickly got up and said:
"Jun Sima came here so early, but what good plan did he think of?"
Sima Yi didn't hide it, and said straight to the point:
"It's not a good strategy, but there is indeed a strategy."
"General Xiahou, with the current situation, Luoyang City may not be able to defend it."
"We might as well abandon the city and flee!"
(Three chapters are here, I’m a bit busy at work these days, and I’m going to take a day off tomorrow. Babes, who agrees and who opposes?)
Chapter 410 Lin Yu's Countermeasures
As soon as Sima Yi said that he wanted to abandon the city and flee, Xia Houdun immediately stared at one eye and said:
"No reason!"
"Army Sima!"
"Your Majesty thinks that we are loyal and patriotic people, so Luoyang is handed over to us to guard,"
"Now that the Western Chu army hasn't come to fight, you are beating the drum to retreat first. How can you be so reasonable?"
"Since Your Majesty has appointed me as the guard of Luoyang, I will swear to the death to live and die with Luoyang!"
"Luoyang City is here, so I am here,"
"If Luoyang City is destroyed, I will perish!"
"You want me to abandon the city, no way!"
Sima Yi was not surprised by Xiahou Dun's reaction, he had long known that Xiahou Dun was a corrupt old stubborn.
He thought about it last night, thinking about how to persuade Xiahou Dun.
At this time, he immediately moved with emotion, and said with reason:
"General Xiahou, all the food in Luoyang has been burned, and we can't even fill our stomachs."
"Once Xiang Yu's army besieged the city, how long can the soldiers last?"
"One month? Three months?"
"I'm afraid the food in the city will be eaten within a week, right?"
"What do you want everyone to do then?"
"Do you want people to eat each other?"
Xiahou Dun was speechless when asked by Sima Yi, and he clenched his fists and said:
"This……"
Sima Yi sighed:
"General Xiahou, I know that you are absolutely sincere to Wei Guo."
"But for the current plan, Luoyang has no way to keep going."
"It's better to take advantage of the opportunity that the Western Chu army has not attacked yet,"
"Quickly lead the people and soldiers to abandon the city and go to Xudu to join His Majesty.
"Leave the soldiers and common people to Wei, so that we will have a chance to turn things around in the future."
Speaking of which, the situation is actually very clear, but Xiahou Dun just refused to listen to Sima Yi's advice, and shook his head stubbornly:
"no!"
"Since His Majesty ordered me to defend the city, I cannot give up Luoyang!"
"Luoyang is Xu Du's barrier!"
"If Luoyang is lost, how can Xu Du survive?"
"What's more, I lost Luoyang, so what face do I have to go to Xudu to meet His Majesty?"
"Army Sima!"
