A day later, under the city of Debate, on top of a hill on the eastern outskirts.
Left Tiger Guard Battalion.
On the plains within a radius of several miles of hills, the gates are erected high, the sharp piles linger, the breath is solemn, the tents in the camp are one after another, and the soldiers on the school field are in the training of howling, and suddenly they see that the momentum is remarkable.
"Zhang Renneng became the former general of Shu and commanded the Shu army, it was really extraordinary, he only took over Zuo Huwei now and didn't have much time, but he not only let his generals accept his entire general, but also trained these soldiers to this level, amazing" Sima Yi walked into this big camp and glanced around, as a general, he intuitively felt that these generals were in high spirits, and there was a brazen momentum, which was morale.
Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, the layout of the entire military camp made him shudder a little, 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 attack in, he may not be able to enter the gate.
He was even more jealous of Zhang Ren.
"General Sima" Zhang Ren heard a report from the soldiers guarding the camp that Sima Yi, the chief general of Zuo Weiwei, was visiting, so he put down the military council that trained the generals and personally rode out to welcome Sima Yi into the camp.
At present, there is some tension between the two Wei armies in Wudu.
He didn't want to give Sima Yi any handle, which would lead to internal discord.
"General Zhang, a certain family came uninvited and disturbed" Sima Yi raised his head, looked at the majestic man on horseback, smiled slightly, bowed to him, and saluted.
"Please" When Zhang Ren heard this, his heart moved, and he also gave Sima Yi enough face, and dismounted and personally invited him into the camp.
"Thank you" Sima Yi replied with a salute, and then under the leadership of Zhang Ren, he walked directly into the main tent.
The generals in the main tent were all dispersed by Zhang Ren, Sima Yi had always been respectful of him before, and when he suddenly came to visit alone, something must have happened to discuss with him.
"General Sima, are you in such a hurry to come to a certain military camp, is there anything important?"
Zhang Ren sat down, looked at Sima Yi, didn't go around in circles, and asked directly.
"General Zhang is really keen, a certain family came today, and there is indeed an urgent matter to discuss with the general."
Sima Yi saw that Zhang Ren was so direct, he didn't continue to go around in circles, at this time he had no time to waste, he handed a battle report in his hand to Zhang Ren, and said in a deep voice: "This is some information about our Zuo Weiwei sentry, you can take a look" Yesterday, he asked Yang Xiu to send people to inspect these posts, but he got that all these posts were annihilated, and there was no one to report back.
He was even more convinced of his guess.
The Wu army is about to take the initiative to go to war.
So he came non-stop to discuss with Zhang Ren, if there was no Zhang Ren's cooperation in this battle, he would not be able to hold on alone, and he would not be able to defeat Wu Jun.
"Are you saying that the four sentry posts that Zuo Weiwei's scouts have placed between Baima Pass and Xiabi City have all been pulled out?"
When Zhang Ren heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and his face became heavy.
Between Baima Pass and Xiabian City is the battlefield of Wu Wei's battle in the west.
Both sides have set up a number of posts here to monitor each other's movements, and if these posts are suddenly pulled out, it will be a big problem.
"That's right" Sima Yi looked at Zhang Ren, word by word, and said: "If it weren't for my suspicions and suddenly sending someone to inspect, I'm afraid it would take us at least three days to receive this news, and three days is enough time for the main force of the Wu army to go north to argue, I even suspect that at this time, the main force of the Wu army has already gone north to Wudu, and even they have approached the city of Xiabian, ready to attack us at any time."
"Someone is coming, immediately pass the scout captain to see the general in front of him" Zhang Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, his tiger eyes looked at Sima Yi's frank but sincere face, calculated in his heart, and shouted directly outside the camp.
"General, come to receive orders" After a while, the lieutenant scout in the left tiger guard walked into the camp.
"Dianman, General Ben now orders you, you immediately lead the three hundred elite cavalry scouts under your command to search in the direction of the east of the water, mainly to see if there is a Wu army from Hanzhong to enter the Wudu."
Although Zhang Ren was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't dare to believe Sima Yi's words.
After all, during this period of time, above the court of the Wei Dynasty, the relationship between the Guanzhong family and His Majesty Cao Cao was a little stiff, and the reason why he was appointed as the general of Zuo Huwei was also to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the imperial court, mainly staring at Sima Yi's Zuo Weiwei.
So he had to let his scouts investigate.
"No" Although Dian Manyan looked a little puzzled, he quickly took the order 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 not trivial, now that the two armies are truce, it stands to reason that the Wu army should not attack, so I need to hear the personal report of the soldiers under my command."
Zhang Ren turned his head, looked at Sima Yi, and said frankly.
"General Zhang's caution is as it should be" Sima Yi was not surprised by this, if Zhang Ren casually believed him, then he was not Zhang Ren.
There was some cold silence in the big tent, Zhang Ren walked up, looked at a sand table terrain next to him, and was silent for a long time before he asked: "General Sima, do you think that at this time, the Wu army suddenly pulled out all your sentry posts, and wanted the main force to go north, so 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 that Sima Yi would lie to him about this, 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 to go north to Liangzhou, so this battle may not be a small fight, if they want Liangzhou, they must pull out our head to block the road, and even they want to swallow the main force of our two guards in Wudu" Sima Yi said.
"Liangzhou" When Zhang Ren heard this, his pupils contracted suddenly, and his eyes were slightly cold: "Wu Jun has such a big appetite, the Kwantung War in the east has just stopped, and they won't let us spend even a year, so they are in a hurry to fight Liangzhou."
He thought about it, and felt that something was wrong: "But if they have the intention to take Wudu, why don't they attack Guanzhong directly?"
"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 elites recruited from Xiliang in Pang De's hands are not trivial, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to our two main forces, and one of them is still frustrated and helped, even if there are 100,000 elites, they may not be able to enter Guanzhong." ” He paused, and added: "Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, Dongwu does not want to launch a full-scale campaign against our Great Wei at present, so it will not provoke Your Majesty's bottom line, and Guanzhong is Your Majesty's bottom line."
"Guanzhong is Your Majesty's bottom line, and although the land of Liangzhou is also very important, it does not have the foundation of the land of Guanzhong for the Great Wei Dynasty, so even if Liangzhou is lost, Your Majesty will endure not to go to war for the sake of the overall situation, in order to delay the time for the newly recruited young soldiers and horses to train their combat effectiveness."
Zhang Ren suddenly understood: "That's what you mean?"

"That's right" Sima Yi nodded: "I think this will be a contest in the western part of the Central Plains, a war between the two guards under our command and the two legions of the Wu army, the Wu army will not increase the troops, and His Majesty will not give us additional troops, we won, not only can we keep Liangzhou, but also counterattack Hanzhong, if we lose, not only can we not keep the military capital, but also lose Liangzhou, because Liangzhou is now empty, and if we lose the protection of the military capital, we will collapse for thousands of miles."
"Interesting" Zhang Ren had already completely believed Sima Yi's words at this time.
He began to calculate in his heart: "If this is a fight, although the Wu army is stronger than us, but we occupy the home field, as long as we don't give them the opportunity to raid the center, we are not without a chance to win."
"Then it depends on how well General Zhang and a certain family cooperate" Sima Yiruo looked at Zhang Ren's boxy face with deep meaning, and said calmly: "If we can fight together, with our troops, in winning the first battle, I believe that we can win this battle, not to mention the land of Bashu in Hanzhong, at least we can thwart the invincible strength of Eastern Wu."
Soochow is too strong, winning consecutive battles, invincible.
This strength gave birth to a sense of invincibility among the soldiers of the Wu army, and their morale was rising, so that their combat effectiveness on the battlefield would burn, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became, which was very unfavorable to the Wei army.
Just give them a big defeat to thwart their strength.
However, what Sima Yi is most worried about now is that he and Zhang Ren can't cooperate with each other, if this is the case, he will not only have to face Wu Jun, but also guard against the Zuo Huwei around him, even if he has three heads and six arms, he will lose.
"Since General Sima said so calmly, I, Zhang Ren, will not hide today, although I shoulder the order of Xun Yu, the prime minister of the imperial court, to monitor your every move, but at the juncture of the war, I, Zhang Ren, will never do anything that is happy for relatives and enemies."
Zhang Ren said categorically: "You don't want to lose to the Wu army, and I don't want to lose, in the face of the strength of the Wu army, if we can't cooperate with each other, you all know in your hearts that this battle will definitely be lost."
"With General Zhang's words, I am much more relieved" When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He pointed to the sand table and said: "General Zhang, in the early hours of this morning, the five thousand elite cavalry of my Zuo Weiwei have taken the lead and quietly ambushed in the savage ditch thirty miles away from the southern suburbs of Xiabi City."
"What do you want me to do?"
asked Zhang Ren.
"You send troops to cooperate with us, and give them a hard blow to the northward vanguard army here" Sima Yi said: "If the Wu army goes north to attack and argue, it must go through this route, I believe that we can encircle and kill left and right, and take over the attack one after the other, and we should be caught off guard by them."
"Starting a war from here, you have given up the defensive battle based on the city of Xiabian, and you have taken the initiative to attack instead of defending, so your first step is to want to feint."
Zhang Ren looked at the battle line pointed out by Sima Yi, and quickly deduced Sima Yi's combat deployment, in this aspect, he was much more powerful than Sima Yi.
"General Zhang is really shrewd" When Sima Yi heard this, he gasped, he thought about it for a day and a night, and gathered his subordinates to deduce the strategy countless times, so that Zhang Ren could see through it at a glance.
There is no vanity under the fame, and he has a high opinion of Zhang Ren by three points.
Zhang Ren didn't care, and continued to follow Sima Yi's strategy and said: "Your deployment is very good, the Wu army is going north, it must be the cavalry to open the way, a long-distance attack, they want to hit us by surprise, and your cavalry ambushed in the savage ditch, first a big battle in the savage ditch, after the feint, lure the enemy deep, but our main force is not in the lower debate, they must not have imagined that when the attack is lowered, we will suddenly ambush halfway, and we will inevitably be defeated."
"General Zhang thinks there is something wrong," Sima Yi asked humbly.
"Yes" Zhang Ren thought for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the terrain to the west: "If the goal of the Wu army is Liangzhou, they may not go to Wudu, and this is also a mouth to the north."
"White Horse Qiang Tribe" Sima Yi's eyes trembled, and his expression became solemn: "What General Zhang means is that it is very likely that the Wu army will avoid our main force of Wudu and enter Liangzhou from the Baimaqiang tribe."
"Do you think this is possible?"
Zhang Ren asked rhetorically.
"Don't ignore the possibility" Sima Yi took a deep breath: "But will they be willing to seek the near and far?"
"It's hard to say" Zhang Ren was silent for a while, there was too little news about Wu Jun, and he couldn't grasp Wu Jun's mentality, and said: "But we can't help but guard against it, if there is any problem in Liangzhou, you and I will be held accountable, and we can't take this risk." t1706231537:
