1126 Birds and beasts are not surprised
Sima Yi let Hu Zhao take a seat, ordered tea, and asked respectfully: "Brother is a master in the world, Zhongda doesn't need to hide it, my garrison is here, and I want to take advantage of the chaos to attack Xiangyang, Yiling and other places." ”
"Alas, if you want to defeat Wang Baoyu, how easy is it?" Hu Zhao sighed and said: "I watch the sky at night, in the land of Yiling, the aura of fairies and demons is pervasive, and mortals can't take it." ”
"Jiuding Daoist Zuo Ci is in Yiling, his people are very cultivated, I have already found out about this, and I have also heard of some other masters in the world, but where does the demonic spirit come from? Could it be that Wang Baoyu is not an extraordinary fetus? Sima Yi asked puzzled.
Hu Zhao waved his hand and said, "Wang Baoyu is used to using some spells, but there is no doubt that his human flesh is mortal. I don't know about this matter, I really don't know what kind of ability Wang Baoyu has to make fairies and demons coexist. ”
"Brother, regardless of the fairy demon, but with Wang Baoyu's resourcefulness, he is still above me, but the holy order is difficult to disobey, and I am helpless." Sima Yi said with a bitter face, just a few days ago, Cao Pi impatiently gave Sima Yi a holy decree, ordering him to send troops to conquer Yiling, if he delays again, don't do the position of governor, go home and retire!
If he just went home to retire, Sima Yi couldn't ask for it, he knew very well in his heart that Cao Pi was threatening him, and if he didn't take action, he would only be afraid of his life. It's just that if there is no perfect plan, you will attack rashly, lose the battle, and go back to death, and you will be in a dilemma!
"Liu Bei camped for a hundred miles, confronted Nanjun with Lu Xun, and it was difficult to withdraw for a while, and at this moment, it was the best policy to capture Shangyong." Hu Zhaodao.
"Brother's words coincide with Zhongda." Sima Yi agreed, and asked tentatively: "I don't know if I can worship my brother as a military advisor?" ”
Hu Zhao didn't nod, but he didn't object, it was equivalent to agreeing. Sima Yi was overjoyed, and immediately gathered the soldiers, paid homage to Hu Zhao, and became a military advisor.
Cao Hong and Cao Zhen are not convinced by this, people with ugly appearance and perverse behavior can become military advisors and hold ceremonies? Both of them are arrogant and arrogant, and they both turn their noses up at Hu Zhao.
Sima Yi hinted several times, but the two of them still went their own way, and the others were also shaken, feeling that Hu Zhao was in the position of military advisor by virtue of brotherhood, and even doubted Sima Yi's ability.
Hu Zhao sneered at this, and saw through their minds lightly, and ruthlessly told their various past events and bad habits.
"How? Do you still need this military division to continue? "Hu Zhao is wild and uninhibited, and he has the meaning of threat. Cao Hong and Cao Zhen were annoyed and ashamed, but when they encountered this kind of stranger, the two of them had to shrink their heads and go back and honestly obey the instructions.
After the arrangements were made, Sima Yi gave Hu Zhao a grand banquet to discuss the plan of attacking Shangyong. The banquet was not lively, and most people were afraid that Hu Zhao, who could pinch and calculate, would find out the unbearable things of the previous years, so they left early, and in the end, only Sima Yi and Hu Zhao were left, just talking.
"It's easy to take the mediocrity, we just need to lead a large army, travel along the mountain road for a few days, and capture it at night." Hu Zhao said lightly.
"How can the other party not know that the army is acting like this?" Sima Yi hesitated.
"It doesn't matter, I have learned the art of bird and beast confinement, and the army can move along the mountain road, so that the birds and beasts will not be frightened. As for the secret posts along the road, I will confuse them and make them unknowable, and I will be completely defenseless. Hu Zhao said confidently.
"Brother is really a master!" Sima Yi was convinced, personally poured a glass of wine for Hu Zhao, and sighed: "With the help of my brother, Zhongda is also worry-free!" ”
Sima Yi immediately gave the order to go down, and the soldiers were mediocre. The army quickly assembled and rushed along the mountain road as fast as possible.
Along the way, Hu Zhao held a talisman in his hand, and did it frequently, and sure enough, the bird did not fly, the beast did not flee, and he walked in the woods as if no one was around.
Not only that, but the secret sentinels sent by Shangyong City were also as if they were blind, completely unaware of the 100,000 troops passing by.
The army did not dare to delay for a moment, and three days later, in the evening, they finally came to a place less than five miles away from Shangyong.
Huang Quan and Liu Ba in Shangyong City didn't even notice this, and the soldiers guarding the city only saw that there seemed to be a thick fog rising not far away, covering their vision, and they really regarded this as fog, and they didn't report this abnormal situation.
Liu Ba only felt upset, and he was too calm, which made people feel uneasy, and took this kind of situation for granted to what happened in Nanjun, and frowned: "It seems that there is something wrong with the placement of the Holy General's army in the camp. ”
"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it, the weather is hot, and the saint wants to avoid the scorching heat and then fight with Lu Xun." Huang Quan disagreed.
"Although Cheng Ji is a well-educated man, he is a person outside the door for the marching formation, and if he camps like this, once he is divided and attacked, he will be defeated." Liu Ba was worried.
"The Holy One has set up a beacon tower to echo each other, and there is no difference between the pool." Huang Quan firmly believed.
"Gongheng, I am worried, and I am afraid that people will speak lightly, and the saint will not listen. I immediately set off for Chengdu and invited the prime minister to persuade the saint. Liu Ba said with a sincere face.
"Sir, it's not that I'm talkative, you're asking for your own hardships. If the saint can trust Prime Minister Zhuge and lead troops to fight for many days, why has he never heard of the summons? Huang Quan persuaded him.
"What Gongheng said is extremely true, but as a courtier, he should seek to share his worries for the Lord, how can he miss the great cause because of self-preservation!" Liu Ba said, put down the wine glass and bowed to Huang Quanshen, please! Then he led hundreds of people out of the West Gate and rushed to Chengdu overnight to find Zhuge Liang.
Alas, Huang Quan sighed, and left by Liu Ba, this person is too cautious in doing things, no wonder he is not reused by the saint and arranged to a small place like Shangyong. And that Zhuge Liang, the master of high merit, the way of death, you who have read the books of sages and sages, how can you not understand this simple truth.
Huang Quan shook his head and sighed, and drank a lot of wine again. At the fourth watch, he finally fell asleep, and suddenly heard the guard report that a large number of soldiers and horses appeared under the north gate, so startled that he hurriedly got up and rushed to the city wall.
The torches all over the mountains and fields are endless, there are more than 100,000 people, and there is no doubt that the costumes are Wei soldiers. At this time, the general Feng Xi also rushed over, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he shouted that it was not good.
The soldiers gathered in the panic were very weak in combat effectiveness, and they were defenseless, and the strategic defense materials in the city were obviously insufficient, Huang Quan shouted angrily: "The Wei army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers coming to the city, why don't the sentinels along the way report early?" Kill them all! ”
"With all due respect, it is useless to dwell on this matter at this time, and go all out to meet the enemy." Feng Xi retorted.
Huang Quan opened his mouth and didn't speak, but Sima Yi's army didn't hesitate at all, didn't shout, and swarmed to the bottom of the city wall.
