Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"What happened again? Let my Shi Ji come to report in person?" Sima Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little confused.

Zhong Hui has been loyal to him since he was discovered by him at the age of sixteen and recruited as an aide. Such a capable and loyal talent, Sima Zhao naturally regarded him as a confidant.

So when Sima Zhao gained power, Zhong Hui also gained considerable power, including the right to monitor Luoyang. However, most of the time, Zhong Hui would send someone to deliver it if he found something wrong. It was extremely rare to deliver intelligence in person.

"Reporting to the public, this matter has a huge impact, and we have to be cautious." Zhong Hui raised his head, his expression had become serious and loyal again. He then handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao took the letter with a suspicious look on his face, and then glanced at it. However, when he finished reading and put down the bamboo slips, Sima Zhao's face had become extremely gloomy.

"You are still a thief! You have such a little trick!"

"Shi Ji, I'll leave this matter to you. Catch them now. This is a good opportunity to shock those old guys in the court!"

However, these have little to do with Sima Shi. If he had the mind to monitor Yecheng before, but now his pressure has increased sharply.

…………

They only have 50,000 people, while the Shu army on the other side of the river has 150,000! Not only that, Wei's nightmare Ma Su is personally in charge!

Well, as a tough guy who has strategically moved from the northwest to Hebei, Sima Shi also has some self-knowledge. Facing Ma Su's army, don't even think about winning. Now his biggest hope is that he can lose more beautifully and delay as much time as possible.

And as one of the few witnesses who came back alive from the northwest, Sima Shi is very familiar with Ma Su's strength. It is precisely because of this that Sima Shi's hands could not help but tremble slightly when he saw Ma Su's flag from a distance.

So as long as the Han army wants to force a crossing of the Yellow River, Sima Shi's troops can't stop them at all.

"The only thing we can rely on is the natural barrier of the Yellow River. So it's better to block the ferry with a large army to prevent the Shu army from crossing the river, so that we can delay it for a longer time."

In response, Sima Shi glanced at him with a gloomy face and said coldly,

"What you mean is... there is only one ferry in this section of the Yellow River, Baima Ferry? Just block this ferry and everything will be fine?"

The Wei army's initiative to retreat more than ten miles was soon known to Ma Su. After seeing Sima Shi's move, Ma Su raised his eyebrows.

And this time, Ma Su did not come with a small force. The Han army camp that Sima Shi could see stretched to the horizon.

But it was obvious that the Han army did not intend to give him any hope. As more and more intelligence was delivered, one bad news after another came one after another.

Shu general Ju Fu led 10,000 troops from Henei to Jizhou to support Xiahou Ba. With the support of the Shu army, the remnants of Xiahou changed their offensive and forced Yang Hu to almost withdraw from Qinghe County.

Sima Shi still remembers that when he first faced Ma Su in Liangzhou, there was not even a title on Ma Su's banner. Unexpectedly, from that time on, he witnessed the rise of a military god with his own eyes.

At this moment, he was like a sheep forced into a desperate situation by a tiger. Watching the Han army pressing forward step by step with great momentum, he could not see any chance.

Sima Shi was right. There was more than one ferry crossing in this section of the Yellow River in Yanzhou. From Hulao to the east, there were dozens of ferry crossings that could cross the river.

"Report to the general, the Shu army in Henan has camped for nearly 200 miles. Judging from the number of camps, there should be 150,000 soldiers and horses!"

The whole Yecheng was undercurrent, and countless turbulent waves were hidden under the water.

"Report to the general... Si Tu replied that because of the strong opposition in the court, the preparations for moving the capital are insufficient. Now... they have not set off yet."

"Pass my order, the whole army retreats 15 miles and gives up Baimadu!"

The scouts sent to investigate quickly found out the size of the Han army. After this information spread, all the generals in the Wei army camp were afraid.

However, Sima Shi did not give them a chance to speak, and made the decision without hesitation. Then 50,000 Wei troops took the initiative to retreat more than ten miles, giving up a large area on the north bank of Baimadu.

When Sima Shi said this, the generals were immediately shocked. It is too late to find a way to avoid the battle now, why are you taking the initiative to give the Shu army a chance to fight.

The only thing blocking them is the Yellow River...

This sentence stumped the general, and he retreated honestly after a moment of silence.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Has Sima Shi become so confident? He actually gave up the battlefield on his own initiative. Does he want to fight us?"

"Yes!"

Taking the initiative to retreat and setting up camps to prepare for a decisive battle obviously meant a decisive battle. This surprised Ma Su. He had been prepared to force a crossing of the Yellow River.

…………

As for Bingzhou and the north, they were invaded by the Shu army. Under the two-way advance of Wang Ping and Kobineng, the entire western battlefield was in a state of emergency.

"So don't think about relying on the Yellow River to block it. If Ma Su wants to launch a sneak attack, even Tongguan can't stop him." Sima Shi snorted coldly and glanced at the generals.

This is the most critical battle for their family's survival! This battle cannot be lost too quickly, and it cannot even be lost too badly!

"General, why don't we lead our troops to block the Baima Ferry to prevent the Shu army from crossing the river!" A general was afraid of the Shu army's front, so he suggested to Sima Shi.

"Send someone to urge them. If anyone is dissatisfied, behead him!" Master Sima's face remained calm, and he didn't look surprised. He just gave an indifferent order and then continued to look at Henan.

"What's going on over there in Yecheng? Where is the team that moved the capital?" Master Sima repeatedly looked at the Wei army in Henan, and then asked with a long sigh.

At this moment, he is stationed on the north bank of Baimadu with 50,000 Wei troops. The Han army on the other side of the Yellow River was flying Ma Di's flag.

And Sima Shi's place is the only place where the battle has not yet begun. But at the same time, he is also the place where he is under the most pressure.

…………

At this time, Ma Su and Shuai Qi had become very brilliant. The words "General of the Han Dynasty, Wu'anhou, Crown Prince, Taifu Ma" are almost crowded with red flags.

But soon, Liu Yin next to him saw something. He pondered for a while, and then said to Ma Di,

"Your Majesty, this is a conspiracy of the Wei army. They are probably posing like this to attract us to fight across the river. In this way, they can limit the battle line to the Baima area, so they don't have to face the difficulty of fighting on multiple fronts."

"This is all a trap. General, please don't fall into Sima Division's trap!"
