Let's not talk about what kind of response Liu Bei will have when he receives the news.

Wei Yan of Nanjiang City is now depressed.

Previously, Sima Yi privately decided on a five-day appointment that made people feel very strange, and regardless of whether Wei Yan agreed or not, he did it wishfully.

But Wei Yan couldn't believe it.

You say that if you don't attack the city, you won't attack the city? Who can believe it?

For the sake of prudence, Wei Yan sent scouts close to Sima Yi's camp to inquire about the news. Who knew that Ma Chao would kill him with his soldiers and horses, and scared the scouts sent by Wei Yan half to death, and hurriedly went back to report to Wei Yan.

Wei Yan immediately ordered the soldiers to be on guard in case of an enemy attack. In the end, Wei Yan waited for the traces of Ma Chao's army, but Ma Chao stopped advancing not far from Nanjiang City, and his troops lined up in place, and he did not launch an attack for a long time.

Wei Yan was puzzled, with such a formation, I don't know what the hell Sima Yi is doing.

The two sides insisted like this, and Ma Chao led the troops back after waiting for half an hour.

Several question marks popped up on Wei Yan's head, what the hell is this?

"There's definitely a conspiracy in this! Is it necessary to observe the details of our army before we start? It shouldn't be! Sima Yi and I have fought before, have you done all the truth and fiction that should be investigated? Wei Yan was full of doubts.

An hour later, Ma Chao came over with soldiers and horses again.

As a result, Wei Yan began to arrange defenses again, directing the soldiers to get busy.

However, still in the same place, Ma Chao was in array and did not carry out any attacks.

Wei Yan didn't think too much about it this time, and stared at Ma Chao deadly. If Ma Chao wanted to attack, Wei Yan would definitely make them unable to eat and walk around.

But Ma Chao still stood for half an hour and then left.

This can make Wei Yan depressed to death.

In the next time, Ma Chao either came every other hour, or killed every hour and a half. The distance from Nanjiang City is about the same every time, and it often changes places. Wei Yan had to command the soldiers to keep an eye every time.

In the evening, Ma Chao stopped for a while. Wei Yan's mind flashed, and he understood that this was the other party's tired enemy's plan, and planned to consume the physical strength of the defenders of Nanjiang City, and finally attack again.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan had to admire his wisdom and martial arts, it was definitely like this.

The other party wants to use the strategy of exhausting the enemy, Wei Yan will not let Sima Yi succeed, he ordered the soldiers to rest in several parts, so that the defenders of Nanjiang City will not be consumed of physical strength, and there will be more reserve troops. Wei Yan even concluded that Sima Yi would definitely come over to attack the city tonight.

Wei Yan and Sun Qian took turns to rest, beware of Sima Yi's possible sneak attack on Nanjiang City.

It's just that a night has passed, knowing that the sky is bright, Sima Yi has not moved at all.

Wei Yan, who had been nervous all night, found that he was wrong, Sima Yi didn't send a single soldier out to sneak attack last night.

"What the hell is going on?" Wei Yan can't figure it out now, could it be that Sima Yi really didn't attack Nanjiang City for five days?

In his heart, Wei Yan didn't believe that Sima Yi would have no idea about Nanjiang City, but the current situation showed that Sima Yi was really as he said, and he would not attack Nanjiang City for five days.

This situation lasted for two days, and Wei Yan became accustomed to Ma Chao's movements for two days. As long as Ma Chao appeared, Wei Yan didn't bother to take care of it.

However, Fengdu City and Longxi City were captured, the defenders of Dianjiang City fled without a fight, the defenders of Linjiang City surrendered Kaicheng, and the news of Wei Xiang and Chen Xiu's death reached Wei Yan, and Wei Yan was immediately dumbfounded. In just two days, the defensive line arranged by Wei Yan was finished. In other words, Ba County in the land of Sanba no longer belongs to Liu Bei's rule.

Liao Li of Hanping also passed on his situation to Wei Yan, hoping that Wei Yan would respond as soon as possible. Of course, Liao Li did not tell him the actual situation of being confused by Gao Shun. Liao Li also wanted to save his face.

Wei Yan's troubles. An easy breakdown of the Bajun defense line would cause a whole bunch of ripple effects. The rebellion in Linjiang City will cause the gate of Padang County to be opened, and Yan Yan will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.

With Yan Yan's prestige, how long can Badong County hold on, Wei Yan has no bottom in his heart.

Once it drags on, the land of Samba will be left in the hands of Wei Yan.

Wei Yan immediately found Sun Gan, and now only Sun Qian can give Wei Yan a little help.

When Sun Qian heard that there was an urgent military situation, he rushed to Wei Yan's side. When Wei Yan told the whole story, Sun Qian fell into an ice cave.

"General Wenchang, Gao Shun....Invaded Ba County, Yan Yan... Rush: Padang!? Sun Qian stammered when he spoke.

Wei Yan said bitterly: "That's true! Hi, Gongyou, I'm already in a mess, and I ask Gongyou for some advice. If the situation cannot be recovered, the eldest brother's Yizhou foundation will be ruined. ”

Can Sun Qian not know the seriousness of the matter? The land of Samba is a natural barrier in Yizhou, ensuring the safety of Chengdu. Before, Sun Qian and Wei Yan were most worried about being attacked by Sima Yi and Gao Shun, but now such a situation has really appeared.

Sun Qian quickly came to the edge of the map and looked at the map anxiously.

However, Sun Qian looked at it for a while, but he didn't come up with a good solution.

Wei Yan waited anxiously, but Sun Qian was still frowning, so he asked, "Gongyou, is there a clever plan?" ”

Coup? It's good to have a strategy to deal with it.

Sun Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly: "General, you are incompetent!" Faced with such a situation, I cannot cope with it. ”

Wei Yan's head was big, and he really wanted to shout, "What do you want!" ”。

"In this way, the inheritance of the eldest brother will be destroyed in my hands." Wei Yan said a little painfully.

Sun Qian's heart softened, Wei Yan revealed his true feelings, showing his affection for Liu Bei.

"General, why don't you report the situation in the land of Samba to the lord and the military division, and let the lord and the military division give advice?" Sun Qian said something that made Wei Yan a little more satisfied.

Wei Yan thought about it, and it could only be like this. Nanjiang City blocked Sima Yi's army, saying that it would not attack for five days, whether others believed it or not, Wei Yan just didn't believe it anyway. Therefore, he could not take it lightly and could not transfer the troops of Nanjiang City. The situation in the land of Samba is already in danger, and only Liu Bei and Xu Shu can turn the tide with a strange plan.

Wei Yan immediately repaired the book and asked him to report his situation to Liu Bei and Xu Shu.

The messenger left Nanjiang City with Wei Yan's expectations.

A burst of dark clouds slowly drifted in the sky, and the originally clear blue sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and the subtle rain slowly fell.

"It's raining?" Wei Yan said with emotion.

The rain changed from small to heavy, and Wei Yan entered the city gate tower to avoid the rain. The defenders of Nanjiang City began to look for a place to shelter from the rain, believing that in such weather, even the elite Liu army would not come to attack.

Sure enough, just as Wei Yan and the others expected, Ma Chao saw that it was raining, and immediately led the troops back to the camp. But Sima Yi and Xiahou Yuan were not in the army.

It's a pity that Ma Chao still moved a little slower, and he was drenched in the heavy rain.

Even so, Ma Chao was full of smiles.

Ma Chao's henchmen all thought that Ma Chao was pumping his brain? Soaking wet and still smiling? Especially Ma Chao's two younger brothers, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu.

Ma Chao returned to his military tent and glanced back at the dark clouds in the sky before entering, and then the smile on his face became even stronger.

Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Tie saw his brother like this, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, it's raining heavily, why are you laughing?" ”

Ma Chao took off the rain-stained armor on his body and said with a smile: "This heavy rain is estimated to fall for three days, so I am naturally happy for my brother." ”

Matthew said in surprise: "Brother, if it rains for three days, won't our army be able to attack Nanjiang City for three days?" ”

"Hehe, do you remember what Zhongda said about the five-day covenant?" Ma Chao asked rhetorically.

Ma Xiu and Ma Tie said in unison: "Of course! ”

At that time, Ma Chao also refuted Sima Yi, but Sima Yi thought that he was the main general. made Ma Chao very embarrassed. As brothers, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, of course, remember it clearly.

"I was very puzzled at the time, why Zhong Da had to not attack Nanjiang City for five days. Wouldn't it give Wei Yan plenty of preparation. I was worried about delaying the fighter, so I had an argument with Zhongda! Now this heavy rain, I understand. No matter how much preparation Wei Yan made, it was all turned into a void in the end! Ma Chao said in high spirits.

Ma Tie and Ma Xiu felt that their IQ was not online and they couldn't understand what Ma Chao said.

Ma Chao hates iron and steel, he has said so much, and his two younger brothers are so stupid that they haven't woken up yet.

"Remember when Zhongda told us to wait? Say what is waiting for Gao Shun to attack the land of Samba. I thought that Gao Shun would definitely attack the land of Samba. But that's not all. Especially when Zhong Da said that he wanted to give Wei Yan a big gift, I now know the meaning. This time, Ma Chao's IQ suddenly skyrocketed, which made people feel a bit of a strategist.

"Please also ask my brother for advice." Matthew and Ma Tie still don't understand.

"Come here!" Ma Chao beckoned Ma Xiu and Ma Tie to the edge of the map, pointed to Nanjiang City and said: "You see, there are cliffs on both sides of this Nanjiang City, like a valley, and Nanjiang City is in the middle. Let's see, is there a river near Nanjiang City? ”

Ma Xiu and Ma Tie said in unison again: "Tongjiang! ”

Thinking of the topography of Nanjiang City, coupled with the heavy rain today, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie glanced at each other and said in surprise: "Water attack!" ”

Neither Matthew nor Ma Tie was stupid, and they thought of this at once.

"That's right! Zhongda and Miaocai both went out, presumably upstream. And we are here to confuse Wei Yan. Ma Chao asserted.

Ma Tie and Ma Xiu were shocked, it turned out that Sima Yi's mind was so vicious, what kind of five-day appointment was actually going to kill Wei Yan.

"But why didn't Master Sima tell my brother clearly?" Ma Tie told the truth.

Ma Chao's face sank, and finally smiled: "This is Zhongda's little family, he complains that I openly contradict him, so I deliberately don't say it." You wait, soon Zhongda will send someone over. ”

Not long after the words fell, a soldier walked in quickly outside the big tent, and he brought Sima Yi's military order.

Sima Yi ordered Ma Chao to quietly prepare the raft for the next two days, and move the army to the high ground tomorrow night. At the end of the military order, Ma Chao was not told about Sima Yi's plan.

"Zhongda, this kid, it's really excessive! I will definitely make him look good in the future! Two virtuous brothers, let's do it now according to Zhongda's military orders. must act secretly, and not let Wei Yan's family find out. Ma Chao ordered.

Ma Tie and Ma Xiu immediately received the order.

There are many trees in the mountains of Yizhou, and it is too easy to cut down trees to make rafts.

Sima Yi and Xiahou Yuan, with 5,000 soldiers and horses, were quietly blocking the upper reaches of the river.

Xiahou Yuan looked at the rain that was big and small, and asked Sima Yi: "My lord, this rain doesn't seem to be enough." ”

If you want to attack with water, this amount of water must be enough, otherwise it will really have no effect.

"Miaocai, you may not know the situation in this land of Bashu. Don't look at this kind of rain is subtle, but in the end it will be collected, and tomorrow night, the official will ensure that the amount of water is enough! Sima Yi assured.

Xiahou Yuan really didn't know the specific situation of this Bashu land, but he admired Sima Yi very much. After Xiahou Yuan came here, he understood why Sima Yi had to talk to Wei Yan about the five-day appointment. Sima Yi just expected that there would be heavy rain in the five days, so he used such a lie to confuse Wei Yan, and also concealed it from Xiahou Yuan and Ma Chao.

"Sima Yi is really unfathomable!" Xiahou Yuan secretly said in his heart: "But he still can't compare with Meng De and Fengxiao." ”

In Xiahou Yuan's heart, only Cao Cao and Guo Jia were the ones who were scheming, and the rest of them were one grade worse.

Sima Yi saw Xiahou Yuan thoughtful and asked, "Miaocai, what are you thinking?" ”

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "I'm just thinking, what task do you arrange for Zixiao, my lord." The last general has a close relationship with Zixiao and is a little worried about his safety. ”

Lie! Sima Yi could see that Xiahou Yuan was not telling the truth, but he didn't care either, and said indifferently: "You will know in the future." ”

Well, Sima Yi just likes to pretend to be mysterious and make everything clear.

Xiahou Yuan didn't ask much, now his job is to block the Tongjiang River, and finally flood Nanjiang City.

The plans of flooding and fire attack are all vicious tactics that hurt the heavens and the peace. However, Xiahou Yuan was used to seeing life and death, and he would not be disgusted with such a strategy. As long as he can break the enemy, he feels that it is right.

In Nanjiang City, the heavy rain is still falling.

Ma Chao didn't come out, but Wei Yan could clean up for a while.

"Looks like it might rain for a few more days." Wei Yan looked at the sky and sighed.

He didn't expect that a catastrophe was about to happen to him.
