When Sima Wang embarked on the road to Longyou, the mood really could not be calm, for decades, the two sides of Wei and Shu have maintained a balance of power in the Guanlong area, from Zhuge Liang to Jiang Wei, although it is perseverance, but in the face of the iron bucket-like defense of the Yongliang Governor from generation to generation, it is fruitless, the boundary between the two sides has been maintained in the first line of the Qinling Mountains, there are attacks and defenses against each other, but no one has been able to break through this,

But this balance was broken in the fourth year of Wei Jingyuan, Zhong Hui led an army of 180,000 into Shu in three ways, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, and the whole Wei State rejoiced, thinking that Shu would inevitably perish, and the Great Wei would dominate the world, and no one could stop it.

But the evolution of the world is beyond everyone's expectations, due to the entry of Wu State, the original situation of Yizhou has become chaotic, and now Yizhou has almost become a big quagmire, once it is trapped, it is difficult to retreat, Zhonghui's 150,000 army fell into it, Wu State also invested half of its troops, and the two sides spared no effort in the competition in Yizhou.

In the eyes of the world, the poor and barbaric land in Nanzhong, the Shu court is in exile here, I am afraid it is difficult to do anything, in the pattern of the three kingdoms, Shu has been marginalized.

But just when the world thought that Shu was already an insignificant matter, the news of the loss of the five counties of Longyou came, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, which made all the Wei people stunned, even Sima Wang.

Sima Wang is the son of Sima Fu, the nephew of Sima Yi, and had a stepbrother Sima Lang in his early years. The Sima family was a prominent family in Hanoi when it was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was a prince of Leishi, since Sima Yi. The Sima family had become the de facto rulers of Cao Wei. The power is tilted towards the opposition. As a core member of the Sima family, Sima Wang was naturally reused.

Of course, Sima Wang's ability and talent are also quite outstanding, otherwise he would never be able to be reused and promoted when Sima Wang's heirs are like clouds. During the eight years that Sima Wang served as the general of Zhengxi and the governor of Yongliang, he was victorious and clear, and the army was strictly organized, and he successfully resisted Jiang Wei's attacks many times. Sonic boom Guan Long.

Later, with his exploits in Guanlong, Sima moved to the position of General Wei and Zhongjunjun, in charge of the forbidden army, and was promoted to hussar general last year, and is currently the highest-ranking general in the Great Wei Dynasty, and one of the members of the ruling core of the Sima family.

It is no wonder that after Sima Zhao heard about the Longxi Incident, the first person he thought of was Sima Wang.

Sima Wang did not meet Sima Zhao's high hopes, and rushed to Chang'an in the wind and snow to take office. Due to the severe cold weather, the army could not be dispatched, and Sima Wang only brought dozens of relatives with him on this trip. It is almost no different from riding a horse to Chang'an.

The situation in front of Sima Wang was very serious, and the five counties of Longyou and Jincheng County were lost. The troops that can be mobilized in the entire Guanzhong are less than 10,000 people, the people are panicked, morale is low, and the situation is dangerous.

However, Sima Wang is a generation of famous generals after all, not intimidated by the difficulties in front of him, now the heavy snow is closing the road, the brigade can not be transferred to Guanzhong, but it will also inhibit the actions of the Shu army, Sima Wang is not too worried that the Shu army will launch an attack at this time, he timely adjusted the deployment of Guanzhong, and adjusted the limited forces in Guanzhong to three points: Chang'an, Chencang and Xinping. Among them, Chang'an is the core of Guanzhong, is the target of the must be protected, Chencang is the throat of the Shu army from Longyou to the east, and Xinping is the key place to advance from Anding to the east.

In particular, it is Chencang, is the most important strategic place on the Guanlong Road, several wars between Wei and Shu, it has been carried out around it, Sima Wang guarded Yongliang for eight years, for Yongliang's mountains and rivers geography can be said to be well understood, after he arrived in Guanzhong, the appointment of this item is to adjust the guard of Chen Cang, appoint Wang Hun, the captain of the Yue cavalry, as the guard of Chen Cang, and lead 3,000 troops to guard Chen Cang.

Sima Wang believes that with the solidity of Chen Cang, even if the Shu army pours its 30,000 horses to attack, it may not be able to take it in a short time, now it is the number nine weather, dripping water into ice, the defenders in the city have the cover of the city wall to avoid the cold, and the siege troops in the wild ice and snow, there is no chance to stay for too long, as long as it can survive this winter, the army of Kwantung enters Guanzhong, and the situation can be reversed in an instant.

Sima Wang's judgment was still accurate, and after the Shu army took the five counties of Longyou, it stopped its advance and did not attack Chencang again. This winter, the two sides of Wei and Shu have maintained a state of tension, but they have not made any substantive contact, and the balance of victory is quietly tilting towards the Wei side.

Just after the first month, the first wave of Wei troops had already entered Guanzhong from Guandong, and it was obvious that Sima Zhao was eager to recapture the lost territory of Longyou, and when the ice and snow had not yet completely melted, Sima Wang had already drawn Sima Wang's troops.

By the beginning of February, the strength of Guanzhong had reached 100,000, and without using the troops of Yizhou and the southern front, Sima Zhao was able to recruit and transfer to 100,000 troops, which was the limit of the forces that Wei could mobilize.

Whether it is Sima Zhao or Sima Wang, they did not put Liu Yin who attacked Longxi in their eyes, in their eyes, Liu Yin is just a small person who takes advantage of the void, it is not worth mentioning at all, how deep is the foundation of the Wei State, and how can it be shaken by a small ant like Liu Yin. It was more than enough to recruit an army of 100,000 to deal with him, and Sima Zhao would not change his initial strategy at all because of Liu Yin's appearance.

Sima Wang also had no doubt that this would be a war without much suspense, and as long as the Wei army moved westward, such a victory would be overwhelming.

What's more, before Sima Wang set out on the expedition, he received a secret letter from Yang Xin, who was forced to land in Shu at the beginning of the situation, and was very remorseful.

Sima Wang was overjoyed, with Yang Xin behind his back, it was difficult for Liu Yin to be undefeated, even if he replied to Yang Xin and asked him to act according to the plan, he also promised Yang Xin that after the matter was completed, he would definitely show the court that he would serve as the assassin of Liangzhou. Of course, Sima Wang is still happy to write this kind of empty check, and as for whether he will sit on the Liangzhou Assassin History in the future, it will be up to Sima Zhao to decide.

In order to fulfill Sima Zhao's expectations as soon as possible, Sima Wang completed the final preparations before the attack in full swing, and personally commanded an army of 100,000 people along Guanlong Avenue to march towards the street pavilion. (To be continued.) )
