Farmer of Shu Han

After Cao Rui's death, Sima Yi first occupied Henan, then united with Jiang Ji, and then occupied Hanoi.

It can be said that it suddenly occupied the most essence of the Central Plains.

Although he still calls himself Wei Chen, he is already considered a supporter of self-respect.

Especially in the face of Cao Shuang, who represents the emperor of Wei, "listening to the tune but not to the announcement" is not enough to explain Sima Yi's attitude.

It can be said that he neither listened to the tune nor listened to the announcement.

It's just that no matter what the reason is for this kind of thing, no matter how good the superficial skills are, it will inevitably come to fruition.

So if you want to consolidate your position, you must have a sufficient level of internal control.

As a veteran of the Wei State, Sima Yi naturally understood this point deeply.

Therefore, the generals who can still stay in the army and have the qualifications to discuss matters in the commander's account are all Sima Yi's supporters.

Sima Yi decided to abandon the attack on Jinyang and advance eastward to Jizhou. Except for some people who were worried that Shangdang would fall, there were no objections to the rest.

When the generals went down to prepare, Sima Yi ordered again:

"Let Dr. Ma come over."

Ma Jun soon followed the order:

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"That stone cannon..." Sima Yi paused, and then continued to ask: "How is the construction going?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Ma Jun showed excitement on his face:

"Teacher, please don't worry, Grand Tutor. I have tried many times in Luoyang, and it's been a long time ago... I know it well, and now I will definitely not miss the important matter of Grand Tutor."

When Sima Yi heard this, his face showed some unwillingness and regret:

"My big deal... Alas! Dr. Ma, let's postpone the construction of this stone cannon. You can go back now and destroy all the parts."

"Remember, it is all destroyed, and nothing can remain!"

Hearing Sima Yi's order, Ma Jun couldn't help being taken aback, suspecting that his ears had misheard.

Or... the Taifu made a mistake?

"Teacher, you mean... say..."

Ma Jun already stuttered, and when he was anxious, his stuttering problem became more serious, and he couldn't even speak completely:

"Destroy, destroy, destroy?"

"Yes, destroy it!"

Sima Yi nodded, and said in a firm tone, "The reinforcements from the bandits have arrived. It seems that this stone cannon has no chance to be used."

"There are stone cannons in our army, and we need to keep them secret until we confront the enemy, so you must completely destroy them!"

"Thief, has the army of thieves arrived?"

Ma Jun was also not reconciled, when he heard that the thieves' reinforcements had arrived, his eyes dimmed, and he could only follow orders.

After Ma Jun left, Sima Yi sat alone in the tent for a long time, and then let out a barely audible sigh:

"The general trend of the world is irreversible!"

Grand Tutor Wei, who has always paid attention to cultivating the mind and character, after sighing, in an instant, his body became a little rickety, and his face also became sluggish.

After several years of planning, in Sima Yi's heart, it is inevitable that he has the intention to turn the tide.

Especially after the death of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Kingdom, it is unknown whether the Han Kingdom can still be as aggressive and unstoppable as before.

After all, Shi Yangyi, the former head of the prime minister's office, rebelled against Han and voted for Wei, and Wei Yan, the left hussar general, was at odds with Feng Yong, let alone the women in the harem of the Han Dynasty intervening in politics.

Taking Shangdang lightly gave Sima Yi an illusion: the Han Kingdom, is it going to go downhill?

Sending troops this time, especially to attack Taiyuan, seems a little risky, but it may not be a temptation.

As long as the Han Kingdom is serious about internal friction, then this dispatch of troops will be regarded as a successful adventure.

It's just that people didn't expect that Feng Yong had already been transferred from Chang'an, and Han Guo's quick response was still beyond his expectation.

It can be said that General Guan passed the Guanjue Valley so quickly and reached the south of Qixian County, which made Sima Yi feel powerless in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh to Tianchang:

"I don't have the right time, it's God's will..."

Over the years, he had to bear the huge pressure in Guanzhong alone, and at the same time he had to be careful about Xu Chang's backstabs, which really made him a little mentally and physically exhausted.

In the fourth year of Yanxi's reign in the Han Dynasty, Sima Yi, the Taifu of the State of Wei, attacked Shangdang and led the army to attack Taiyuan.

General Guan Suo of Dahan Zhendong led a cavalry army to rush to Taiyuan. Sima Yi expected that Jinyang would not be able to go down, and did not want to be entangled with Guan Suo, so he withdrew from Jingxing and entered Jizhou.

At the same time, the battle in Xiangyang, Jingzhou also had results.

Lu Xun, the great general of the state of Wu, surrounded Xiangyang with his troops. Taking advantage of the rising Han River, he let the Chang'an ship approach the bank of the Han River, and borrowed the bridging gun left by Marquis Wu to build a bridge to the city.

There were few defenders in Xiangyang, and most of them were deployed in the south. It was impossible for the Wu people to climb the city wall from the water.

Caught off guard, the outer city of Xiangyang fell.

Although Guan Qiujian, Hu Zhi and others on the other side wanted to break through the Hanshui River from Fancheng and rescue Xiangyang, there were almost no Wei Guoshui troops.

In addition, they are facing Wu Guo's navy and Lu Xun, who knows Wu Guo's best military strength.

Wei Jun didn't want to talk about breaking through the Han River, but it was a luxury to take a boat to the center of the Han River.

Standing at the head of Fancheng, knowing that the outer city of Xiangyang has fallen, but there is nothing that can be done.

A few days later, they could only watch helplessly as the flames and black smoke rose from the inner city...

Pu Zhong, the general of Xiangyang who set himself on fire in the fire, cried out in grief before he died:

"The fall of Xiangyang is not my fault, but Wuqiu Jian's! First he was deceived by the bandits, and then he failed to rescue him. It is really the sinner of the Great Wei!"

Lu Xun, who entered Xiangyang City accompanied by everyone, looked at the figures in the fire and couldn't help sighing:

"It's a pity, such a strong man, how can he serve a thief?"

Martin, who was following Lu Xun, looked at the fire with a thoughtful look on his face.

At this time, Lu Xun turned his head, suppressed his exclamation, and put a smile on his face:

"Mr. Ma, without your help, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to capture Xiangyang."

Martin also smiled slightly:

"The great general is serious. The Han and Wu countries are allies to each other, and they agree to hunt down thieves. If Tian does not encounter this matter, it will be fine, but once it does, how can there be any reason to sit by and watch?"

"Sir, you have a heart!" Lu Xun said with emotion, "If everyone in the Wu and Han countries is like this, why worry about not being able to wipe out the thieves as soon as possible?"

I don't worry!

With the current momentum of the big man, as long as there are no internal problems, it will be a matter of time before the thieves are wiped out.

maybe……

Martin looked around Xiangyang City, and smiled:

"What the great general said is that as long as our two countries can continue to cooperate sincerely like this, the thieves will definitely be wiped out."

Hearing Martin's words, there was a look of longing on his face, and then there was a flash of sadness, and there was a slight sigh in his tone:

"I wish I could see that day."

Hearing this, Ma Tian couldn't help being surprised and said:

"Why did the great general say that?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Xun looked at the soldiers celebrating the victory in the distance, sighed, and said in a low voice:

"I'm old, and in another year, I'll be in the year of ear-satisfaction!"

Martin took a serious look at Lu Xun, but he saw that his temples were covered with frost.

He counted in his heart:

Sima Yi of the State of Wei is already over sixty years old, and Lu Xun of the State of Wu is about the same age, but how old is the guardian of the central capital of our big man?

Well, anyway, it can kill them properly!

Done!

Ma Tian glanced at Lu Xun again. To be honest, there was actually a virtuous king in Wu who was about the same age as the Duhu of the Han Dynasty, but he was a short-lived ghost.

No, it should be said that fortunately he is a short-lived ghost.

Noticing that Martin looked at him repeatedly, Lu Xun asked a little strangely:

"Sir, do you have something to say?"

Martin was startled, afraid that the other party would see his thoughts, he coughed quickly:

"Ahem, I do have something I want to say to the Great General, but I don't know if it's appropriate."

Lu Xun laughed and said:

"Mr. has done me such a great favor. If you have something to say, please say it. Why do you need to be restrained?"

Looking around, Ma Tian saw that the Wu soldiers who had invaded the city had long been scrambling to plunder, for fear of being slow.

At this time, those who followed were Lu Xun's most trusted personal guards.

"It is a great joy for the Great General to break through Xiangyang City, but since I entered the city with the Great General, I noticed that the General's face occasionally looks worried. Why is that?"

Lu Xun didn't seem to think that Martin could observe his mind so carefully under such circumstances. He took a deep look at the other party and didn't answer immediately.

Seeing Lu Xun's expression, Martin quickly said:

"It's Tian Menglang, I shouldn't be asking the general such questions..."

The joy on Lu Xun's face had dissipated. He waved his hand and sighed slightly:

"There's nothing that can't be said about it."

He paused, looked to the east, and after a while, he said in a low voice:

"Although I have won a great victory in the west, but on the Jianye side, there is the death of the country and the future!"

"If possible, I would rather take this Xiangyang City in exchange for the health of His Royal Highness..."

When Ma Tian heard this, he almost choked on his own saliva.

Just now I was thinking that fortunately the prince of Wu is a short-lived ghost!

Thinking in his heart, Martin also put on a regretful and slightly sad expression on his face:

"I have been in Jiangdong for a long time, and I have had several acquaintances with His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is very loving and kind, and has beautiful virtues."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed away early, and Jiangdong lost his wise prince. It is not the blessing of the common people. What a pity, what a pity!"

After sighing again and again, Martin comforted Lu Xun again:

"However, Master Wu has many heirs, and I heard that they are all outstanding generations. I think I will be able to choose a worthy person to stand again."

Lu Xun let out a long sigh: "I hope..."

He and Sun Deng have guarded Wuchang together for several years. Although they are different monarchs and ministers, not to mention the age difference, they can be regarded as congenial.

Lu Xun regarded the prince as a wise king, and Sun Deng regarded Lu Xun as a virtuous minister.

I didn't expect... Alas!

Lu Xun sighed again. He didn't know who His Majesty would appoint as the crown prince?

Martin's words that His Majesty's descendants are all outstanding people are really just words of comfort.

In Lu Xun's view, among the princes, there is no one who can compare with the prince.

This is where the depression in his heart lies.

It's just that, of course, you can't say this to Martin.

Seeing that Lu Xun lost his interest in speaking, Martin was not interested in what happened in Xiangyang City at this time.

He bowed his hands to Lu Xun:

"Sir, the matter is over here, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay any longer, and I will take the students back to Dahan in a few days, please allow me."

Sun Quan returned from Hefei a few months ago, and the students who accompanied the army also returned to Jianye.

Sun Deng died of illness, although there was no chaos in Jianye City, but Martin had made many friends in the past few years, so how could he fail to notice that Jianye was already undercurrent?

So he planned to take the students back to Dahan immediately.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, Lu Xun was besieging Xiangyang.

At the same time, Guanzhong, to be precise, was escorted by Zhongdu to send a secret letter, which happened to involve Lu Xun and Xiangyang.

After weighing it for a while, Martin decided to use his identities as students to help find out.

At the same time, compared with Sun Quan's attack on Hefei, Lu Xun, the top general who cut off the Han River, had obviously higher gold content in besieging Xiangyang.

Students can better observe the level of water warfare of Wu Guoshui Army at close range.

Martin will never miss this good opportunity.

Sure enough, in this battle, the students could not only see how the Wu people's water army fought, but also how the water army and warships coordinated.

Even after Martin took out the arch bridge gun, the students were able to board the Wu people's most core battleship, the Chang'an, to fight with the Wu people.

It can be said that in this campaign, it was full of gains.

Although he carefully tested and investigated many times, he couldn't confirm whether Lu Xun had hooked up with Sima Yi.

But the purpose of this trip can be regarded as more than half completed.

It's time to retreat.

On the other hand, Lu Xun, when he heard Ma Tian's farewell, he had a look of reluctance on his face:

"Sir, are you leaving now?"

"It has been several years since a certain student was ordered by the imperial court to take students to Jiangdong to learn how to maneuver a boat. It is time to go back. How dare you delay?"

Lu Xun took Martin's hand and said sincerely:

"Sir, you helped me defeat Xiangyang. I haven't thanked you enough yet. If you just let him go like this, wouldn't it appear that I am too ruthless?"

Martin laughed, but his attitude was unrestrained:

"The great general just broke Xiangyang, and there are still powerful enemies north of the Han River. I don't know how many things are waiting for the great general to deal with."

"If it is because of Tian Yiren that he misses the great general's important event, it will be a capital crime that cannot be redeemed!"

"I will keep the matter of thanking you in my heart first, and I will come to ask for it when the general is free."

Seeing that Martin had said that, Lu Xun naturally couldn't say anything more.

What's more, what the other party said is also true.

Breaking through Xiangyang is only the beginning, how to deal with the aftermath is also a major event.

Lu Xun looked at the streets of Xiangyang City, and there were already excited Wu Jun soldiers coming out of the houses with big bags and small bags...

He frowned, and finally couldn't hold back any more.

Martin handed over again:

"Then I will leave first."

Turning around, I happened to see Luo Xian and Fu Jian who were not far away, looking at the city with their heads probed, and seemed to be pointing at the same time.

Martin walked over and waved his hand: "Let's go, what's there to see?"

The two curled their lips, with disdain on their faces: "If you don't look at it, don't look at it."

After leaving for a certain distance, Martin slowed down and asked:

"Any thoughts?"

"What do you think?" The two looked at each other with some doubts.

"I mean, what do you two think about what the Wu people did in Xiangyang City?"

"The world criticizes Cao's thieves for slaughtering the city. In my opinion, the Wu people's robbing the city is no different. Both of them can be called thieves!"

Fu Jian answered first.

His lord died at the hands of Wu Gou, so naturally he would not have any good feelings for Wu people.

Even if he was sent to Wu country to study, he would not change his opinion because of it.

Compared with Fu Jian's somewhat personal opinion, Luo Xian is more objective:

"Most of the elite of Wu's battalions are generals, who fight abroad and only like to plunder the wealth of the people's children, but they are not strong enough in siege and field battles."

"So even if he knew that the looting after breaking the city would leave troubles, Lu Xun had to act according to the wishes of the generals in the army."

"It can be seen from this that there is insufficient coordination among the battalions of the Wu army, and there is a suspicion that they are fighting each other. It is difficult for Wu to become a big man from a small perspective."

When Martin heard this, he smiled.
