The Three Kingdoms

"Zhang Renneng became the great general of the Shu Kingdom in the past and commanded the Shu army. It is really extraordinary. He has only taken over the Zuohuwei in a short time. The degree is amazing!"

Sima Yi walked into this big camp and looked around. As a general, he intuitively felt that these soldiers were full of energy and had an outrageous aura, which was morale.

One post at three steps, one whistle at five steps, the layout of the entire barracks made him shudder, as if it was a giant beast, as long as it came in, it would be swallowed directly.

Even if he lets his Zuo Weiwei force his way in, he may not be able to enter the gate.

He became even more afraid of Zhang Ren.

"General Sima!"

Zhang Ren heard the report from the guards of the camp, saying that the chief general of Zuo Weiwei, Sima Yi, was visiting. He put down the military council where the soldiers were trained, and rode out in person to welcome Sima Yi into the camp.

At present, the relationship between the two Wei armies in Wudu is somewhat tense.

He didn't want to give Sima Yi any leverage and cause internal discord.

"General Zhang, a certain family came here uninvited, please excuse me!"

Sima Yi raised his head, looked at the majestic man on horseback, smiled slightly, bowed his hands to him, and saluted.

"Please!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ren's heart moved, and he gave Sima Yi enough face, so he got off his horse and personally invited him into the camp.

"Thank you!"

Sima Yi returned a salute, and then, under Zhang Ren's leadership, walked directly into the main tent.

All the generals in the main camp were dismissed by Zhang Ren. Sima Yi had always kept a respectful distance from him before, but at this time he suddenly came to visit alone, and he must have something to discuss with him.

"General Sima, you are in such a hurry to come to a certain military camp, is there something important?"

Zhang Ren sat down, looked at Sima Yi, asked directly without going around in circles.

"General Zhang is really sharp. A certain family came here today, and there is indeed an urgent matter to discuss with the general!"

Seeing that Zhang Ren was so straightforward, Sima Yi didn't continue to go around in circles. He had no time to spend any more at this time. He handed Zhang Ren a battle report in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "This is our Zuo Wei sentry post." Some information about Gang, you have a look!"

Yesterday he asked Yang Xiu to send someone to inspect these sentry posts, but he got that all these sentry posts were wiped out, and no one even came back to report.

He became more convinced of his guess.

Wu Jun is going to take the initiative to fight.

So he came to discuss with Zhang Ren non-stop. Without Zhang Ren's cooperation in this battle, he would not be able to survive alone, and he would not be able to defeat Wu Jun.

"You mean, the four outposts deployed by Zuo Weiwei's scouts between Baima Pass and Xiabian City have all been pulled out?"

Zhang Ren was shocked when he heard this, and his face became heavy.

Between Baima Pass and Xiabian City is the battlefield where Wu and Wei fought in the west.

Both sides have set up a lot of sentry posts here to monitor each other's movements. If these sentry posts are pulled out suddenly, the problem will be serious.

"That's right!"

Sima Yi looked at Zhang Ren, word by word, and said, "If I hadn't been suspicious and sent someone to inspect it suddenly, I'm afraid it would take at least three days for us to receive the news. I even suspect that at this time, the main force of the Wu army has already gone north to Wudu, and they have even approached Xiabian City, ready to attack us at any time!"

"Come on, tell the scout captain Dianman to meet the general!" Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Sima Yi's calm and sincere face with tiger eyes, calculated in his heart, and shouted directly outside the camp .

"General, Dianman is here to take orders!"

After a while, the scouts from the left tiger guard walked into the camp.

"Dianman, this general orders you now. You immediately lead the [-] elite cavalry scouts under your command to search in the direction of Mianshui in the east. The main purpose is to see if any Wu troops from Hanzhong have sent troops into Wudu!"

Although Zhang Ren was a little surprised, he didn't dare to believe Sima Yi's words.

After all, during this period of time, the relationship between the Guanzhong family and His Majesty Cao Cao became a little stiff in the court of the Wei Dynasty, and the reason why he took up the post of General Zuohuwei also shouldered the heavy responsibility of the court, mainly to stare at Sima Yi's left. Weiwei.

So he had to ask his scouts to investigate.

"promise!"

Dianman heard that although his eyes were a little puzzled, he quickly took orders and left.

"General Sima, I'm sorry. It's not that I, Zhang Ren, don't want to believe your words. It's just that this matter is no small matter. Now that the two armies are in a truce, it is reasonable for the Wu army to not attack, so I need to hear the personal report from the soldiers under my command!"

Zhang Ren turned his head, looked at Sima Yi, and said frankly.

"General Zhang should be cautious!"

Sima Yi was not surprised by this. If Zhang Ren believed his words casually, then he would not be Zhang Ren.

There was a bit of silence in the big tent, Zhang Ren walked up, looked at a sand table terrain next to him, and after a long silence, he asked, "General Sima, do you think that the Wu army suddenly pulled out all your sentry posts at this time to send the main force northward?" , Then do they want to fight a local battle with us, or do they want to fight a big battle, directly capture Wudu, and annihilate us!"

Although he was cautious, he didn't think Sima Yi would lie to him about this matter. Once the news was true, he had to prepare early, otherwise he would be caught off guard.

"General Zhang, I think they suddenly sent troops to Wudu at this time, but the main target is not us, but going north to Liangzhou, so this battle may not be a small fight. If they want Liangzhou, they must pull out Our head is in the way, and they even want to swallow the main force of our two guards in Wudu!"

Sima Yi said.

"Liangzhou?"

When Zhang Ren heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes turned slightly cold: "Wu Jun has such a big appetite. The Kanto War in the east has just stopped. They won't let us pass for a year, so they are in a hurry to fight Liangzhou?"

He thought for a while, and felt something was wrong: "But if they intend to take down Wudu, why didn't they attack Guanzhong directly? Compared with Guanzhong, Liangzhou is a little weaker! It's not right!"

"It's not that they don't want to win Guanzhong, but they don't dare to fight Guanzhong!"

Sima Yi said: "General Zhang, don't forget that there are heavy troops in Chang'an, and the elite recruited by Pound from Xiliang is no small feat. Their combat power is comparable to the main force of our two Weis, and one of them is helping each other. Even if a hundred thousand elites , and may not be able to enter the pass."

He paused, and added: "Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, Soochow does not want to launch a full-scale campaign against our Great Wei yet, so it will not provoke His Majesty's bottom line, and Guanzhong is His Majesty's bottom line!"

"Guanzhong is His Majesty's bottom line, and Liangzhou is very important, but it does not have the foundation of Guanzhong to the Great Wei Dynasty, so even if Liangzhou is lost, His Majesty will let the newly recruited young people take care of the overall situation and delay time." Strong soldiers and horses have been trained to fight, and they will resist fighting!"

Zhang Ren suddenly understood: "What do you mean?"

"That's right!"

Sima Yi nodded: "I think this will be a contest in the western part of the Central Plains, a battle between our two guards and the two armies of the Wu army. The Wu army will not increase its troops, and His Majesty will not increase our troops either. If we win, we can not only keep Liangzhou, but also counterattack Hanzhong. If we lose, we will not only lose Wudu, but also lose Liangzhou, because Liangzhou is now empty, and without the protection of Wudu, it will collapse for thousands of miles! "

"interesting!"

At this time, Zhang Ren already believed Sima Yi's words completely.

He began to calculate in his mind: "If there is a fight, although the Wu army is stronger than us, but we occupy the home court, as long as we don't give them a chance to raid the center, we are not without a chance of winning!"
