Chapter 918: The Verge
Sima Yi's eyes became a little sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "The battle of Lingshi Pass, it is precisely because of our light advance that we suffered this defeat, Cao Liang used troops, has always been treacherous, this time to withdraw troops, who knows if there is an ambush, if you pursue at this time, wouldn't it be in its arms, Zhao'er, eat a trench to grow a wisdom, the future teacher does not forget, the teacher of the past, the lesson of this Lingshi Pass, is not painful?" ”
In the face of Sima Yi's reprimand, Sima Zhao's face turned red, and Nuo Nuo said: "What my father taught me is that the child has been taught. ”
Sima Shi saw that the scene was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Father, the second brother is also anxious to avenge General Sun, so he will make this decision, I hope my father will not be surprised." ”
Sima Yi snorted lightly and said: "How can you be rash in a war, revenge is important, but you must not be blinded by hatred, attack hastily, and suffer another defeat." It doesn't matter if we lose this battle, we have soldiers and horses, and it's not too late to regain our strength and fight again. ”
Sima Yi had a resolute attitude, a firm tone, and was not angry because of the fiasco of Lingshi Pass, after many years of fighting in the territory, Sima Yi had long developed the habit of pampering and not being surprised, no matter whether he won or lost, he could deal with it calmly.
Because whether you win or lose, this battle is over, and the next battle, whether you win or lose, will be a new beginning, and entangled in the past records will not have any meaning, it will only become a kind of bondage.
What Sima Yi has to do now is to devote himself to the next battle, his emotions, his thoughts, will not be affected by the previous battle, this is the quality of a true leader.
Sima Yi was naturally very dissatisfied with Sima Zhao's request, falling from there and getting up from there, failure is not terrible, repeating the mistakes of the past can only become a mediocre general.
Although the vanguard battalion was led by Sun Li, the entire offensive strategy was formulated by Sima Yi, and Sun Lisai was completely implemented in accordance with the established plan.
Lesson, this is a completely bloody lesson, it turns out that Cao Liang not only did not fall for the plan, but instead set up an ambush at Lingshi Pass in advance, and hit the pioneer camp in one fell swoop.
Such a painful lesson, for Sima Yi, one time is enough, if he sends troops to pursue again at this moment, who knows if Cao Liang will have a backhand, so Sima Yi must make a careful plan to march again, and Cao Liang must not be given any more opportunities.
The loss of more than 20,000 people is just a loss to Sima Yi, but the loss of Sun Li is not enough for many people.
Sima Yi ordered the army to be temporarily stationed at Lingshi Pass, this time he led reinforcements to come, led by cavalry, but the attack on Jiexiu, these cavalry alone could not be carried out, and the remnants of the vanguard battalion, there were only three or four thousand people left, which was not enough to take on the heavy task of attacking the city.
Therefore, Sima Yi's first step was to adjust the army, transfer Chen Qian, the Taishou of Hedong, to be the vanguard officer, and at the same time increase the number of the vanguard battalion to 50,000 people, Sima Shi still served as the deputy vanguard, and Sima Zhao was withdrawn by Sima Yi to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.
In this regard, Sima Zhao was very dissatisfied, this defeat, in fact, he had the least responsibility, but Sima Shi was able to continue to stay, but he was belittled by Sima Yi, which made Sima Zhao, who was eager for revenge, very unbalanced.
However, Sima Zhao did not dare to disobey Sima Yi's order, so he could only slander him secretly.
Sima Yi made such a dispatch, but he had his own considerations, Sima Zhao had little experience in battle, was impulsive, and lacked experience in big battles, so he was temporarily transferred to logistics to be responsible for food supervision, which also wanted him to calm down.
However, Sima Shi's calmness and generosity in this battle won Sima Yi's appreciation, and it was reasonable to continue to stay as the deputy vanguard.
While dispatching the army, Sima Yi sent a large number of scouts to go deep into the enemy's territory to reconnoiter the situation of the state army, and then formulate a new offensive plan.

"Well played!" Cao Liang held the latest battle report and smiled and groaned.
In the battle of Lingshi, Yanghu's performance can be described as perfect, with 10,000 people ambushing the 30,000 people of Sima Jun, he was able to defeat 26,000, such a record, how brilliant, even if it is a famous general in ancient times, it is nothing more than that.
What's even more rare is that in this battle, Yanghu personally shot and killed Sun Li, the leading general of the Sima Army, you know, on the battlefield, how difficult it is to PK a famous general one-on-one, Yanghu This battle, just like Huang Zhong killed Xiahou Yuan in Dingjun Mountain, will be famous all over the world.
The historical status of Yanghu's famous general is there, but he did not participate in the battle to destroy Wu, and after all, he was inferior to Du Pre Wang Jun.
Now following Cao Liang, so that Yanghu, who originally became the mainstay after middle age, can kill all sides on the battlefield in the year of his establishment, and this time he is even more famous in the world with Sun Li's head, becoming a famous general, which is indeed commendable.
Lingshi's battle, with less to win more, played the momentum of the state army, but also equivalent to a shot of strength to the state army, Sima Jun is of course a large number of people, but if the state and the state work together, why worry about the enemy's strength?
At this time, Cao Liang had arrived in Qi County from Jinyang, not too far from the Jiexiu front, and now Cao Liang was playing a big game of chess, and the battle of Lingshi was just an appetizer before a meal, and the real finale was still in the back.
Yanghu retreated very decisively in Lingshi, as soon as he received the news that Sima Jun's reinforcements were coming, he immediately took the initiative to retreat across the line, not giving Sima Jun any chance to counterattack, and when withdrawing, the timing was just right, coinciding with the fog, even though Sima Jun had cavalry to pursue, but it was blocked by the fog, and the speed of the march was greatly affected, so Yanghu withdrew very calmly.
Until he withdrew to Jiexiu, Sima Yi's pursuers did not catch up, and it seems that Sima Yi also gave up this opportunity to pursue in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
After Yanghu retreated to Jiexiu, he reorganized his army and battled, comprehensively strengthened Jiexiu's defenses, and prepared to meet the invading enemy.
The Jiexiu War is already like an arrow in the string, touching the start.
