In the Liao Tun City, although Sima Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his face still seemed nothing happened. He even blocked the news of food and grass shortages, and ordered the grain officials and others not to leak the news. He temporarily distributed grain to the Wei army with Xiaohu, hoping to barely hold on for a few more days.

Sima Yi planned a military operation for more than half a year to drive Gongsun Xiu into Xiangping. When the news of the July River surged, the Wei army occupied the right time, place, and people and others to encircle and suppress it. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded and faced the problem of shortage of food and food.

Not only did it fail to achieve it as scheduled, but it was about to lose all the money.

It's not unpleasant.

Hu Zun whispered: "Taiwei, let's eat first? It's getting dark and the food is cold."

Sima Yi looked at the delicious wine and food on the table, took a few bites casually, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Are you sure to break through the defense line of the Yan army?"

Hu Zun gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, when Wang Chang leads his troops to rescue the siege, Bei Zhi takes the opportunity to open the city and fight the enemy. When the two meet, the Yan army's defense line will naturally be broken."

How did he not understand this problem?

Sima Yi waited for the opportunity to fight back again.

His plan has always been detailed to the point of hindsight, that is, he predicted the enemy's predictions and made every step to the extreme.

But in the end, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. He was in such a situation. The method of rescue in front of him was that Wang Chang could only rescue him.

Although Sima Yi was sixty years old and had a very good appetite, he ate two bowls of rice and drank a pot of old wine. His face was rosy and his complexion could not be seen as being in a desperate situation.

Hu Zun secretly admired: "Sima Gong is so old, and he is still like a middle-aged man. In this situation, his diet and sleep are still normal. No one in the world can match this kind of cultivation."

Suddenly, the scout rushed in from outside and kowtowed to the ground: "Taiwei, the 30,000 naval troops of the Eastern Wu entered Liaodong and are now stationed in Dagu Mountain, less than 500 miles from Wang Chang's army."

Sima Yi was shocked when he heard this and suddenly stood up: "Are you serious about this?"

The scout sweated like rain and said, "Every word of humble duty is true."

Hu Zun was shocked and thought that the 30,000 naval troops of the Eastern Wu entered Liaodong, which was naturally to help the Liao bandits, rather than the Wei army. He said in a trembling voice: "If this is true, Wang Chang was blocked by the Eastern Wu Navy, and he was determined to break the siege of the Liao Tunnel, and he was unable to do anything."

Sima Yi sneered, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said gloomy: "It is possible to mobilize people like Sun Quan to mobilize thousands of miles to rescue Liaodong. It is a good skill. If I thought it was good, Gongsun Xiu gave the war horses from Liaodong to the Eastern Wu and flattered and praised the ministers. Otherwise, if he said it out, Sun Quan would not send troops."

Hu Zun smiled bitterly and said, "Wolf in front and tiger in the back, what should we do?"

A complete death situation.

If Wang Chang's army could come to rescue him, Hu Zun broke through the encirclement and left the city, and it would be no difficulty to resolve the siege of the Liao Tunnel. But now the Eastern Wu navy emerged elusively and appeared behind the Wei army, which would mean that the rescue route was blocked.

Under such circumstances, the Liao Tunnel has become a dead city.

There is no help.

Wait for death.

Sima Yi was a little silent and laughed to the sky.

Hu Zun was stunned: "Why did the Taiwei laugh?"

Sima Yi restrained his laughter and said, "If God hadn't done so, how could you and I fall into this city?"

"God will make people do anything. Since God wants us to die here, there is nothing we can do." Hu Zun sighed.

Sima Yi curled his smile, walked out with his hands behind his back, stood out a few steps, looked north, and murmured: "For the current plan, we can only look at my last plan. If it cannot work, the Wei army has no way out except to be wiped out."

Hu Zun rolled and crawled, "What are the plans for the Taiwei?"

"Statement to surround Wei and save Zhao."

Sima Yi sneered, "This is a strategy for both defeats and both sides. I can only gamble. Goguryeo sent more than 10,000 troops to besiege Xiangping. Gongsun Yuan had only a few thousand soldiers on hand at this time, and he was determined to be unable to stop him. Gongsun Xiu did not rush to Xiangping to rescue him. If Gongsun Yuan was captured and killed, the morale of the Yan army would be dispersed and collapsed. If he divided his troops to rescue him, he would be unable to surround the Liao Tunnel. If we were to cover him and kill him, we would have a glimmer of life."

Hu Zun was frightened: "This - what if Gongsun Xiu didn't go to rescue Xiangping?"

"After all, Gongsun Yuan is the lord of Liaodong and his father. If he doesn't go to save him, it doesn't make sense in terms of morality and legal principles. Moreover, the Yan army obeyed Gongsun Yuan, and Xiangping was surrounded and would inevitably seek help. If reinforcements were not rescued in time, even if there was no danger, there would be a gap between the father and son in the future."

Sima Yi paused and said gloomyly: "I am gambleing again, betting that he has to save him."

——

Liaokou.

More than 15,000 Wei troops led by Wang Chang went out of the camp at night, advanced along the water route, and rushed straight to the Liao Tunnel.

Liu Zhi, a cavalry school, took the land route with his strong travelers. Wang Chang led the ferry forward. The two routes were swift and light, and there was no baggage force. The purpose was only one: to clear the siege of the Liao Tunnel.

Wang Chang had reported the war situation and dilemma that the Wei army suffered in Liaodong, truthfully returned to Luoyang, and reported to Emperor Wei Cao Rui, about how Sima Yi was besieged.

When Cao Rui heard that Sima Yi was surrounded, he was shocked and furious: "The Gongsun family became increasingly arrogant. The Taiwei was cautious and kind in his daily life. How could he be so reckless this time that he was caught in the enemy's suspicious plan and was trapped in the Liao Tunnel. What should we do? The military newspaper said that the food and grass in the city were about to be exhausted, and the food was cut off within eight days. Eastern Wu also sent troops to rescue Liaodong. Gongsun Yuan and the Wu bandits joined forces, and their troops were far beyond our army."

In the Luoyang palace, all officials were trembling and did not dare to say a word to return.

After a long time, Sun Zi, the old minister of the Shizhong, dared to speak out: "Your Majesty, the Taiwei was defeated during the expedition. Our Great Wei should send troops to rescue him. We should destroy Liaodong and attack Dongwu in the first place."

Cao Rui was only 35 years old, and he was vaguely chasing Cao Cao and launched a battle to fight against Liaodong. In his opinion, it was a merit that was enough to be recorded in history during his administration.

On the eve of sending troops to Liaodong, the ministers and the appeasement factions in the court launched a fierce letter, and finally formulated the deployment of the conquest of Liao. They specially transferred Sima Yi back to Luoyang to discuss the conquest of Liaodong. Sima Yi knew that the conquest of Liao in the court was urgent, and he refused to mobilize too many troops to waste the people and cause money, so he only sought a 40,000 army to set off, and made a bold statement that he could conquer Liaodong in one year.

But only seven months after sending troops here, Sima Yi and more than 10,000 soldiers were trapped in the Liao Tunnel and could not be stretched. Once the food and grass were used up, they would undoubtedly die.

Cao Rui was furious, but he also knew the importance of Sima Yi. This person was very majestic in the army. If there were any mistakes, the morale of the army would be greatly lost. At the same time, there were not many generals in the Wei State who could make a move. Old people were dead, and talents became increasingly scarce.

"As soon as I follow my order, summon 50,000 troops to Liaodong to help the Taiwei to pacify the barbarians, and use sea ships built by Qing, Gun, You and Ji prefectures to first decimate the Liao bandits and then kill the Eastern Wu bandits. Since they have been supporting Liao for thousands of miles, it seems that Gongsun Yuan gave Sun Quan a lot of conditions."

Cao Rui pondered for a little, considering reinforcements from Liaodong.

Sun Zi sighed. He had been a minister for many years and had already mastered the sloppy position to smooth things over. He hurriedly said, "Who is Your Majesty going to lead the army to Liaodong?"

Cao Rui said: "This matter is very important. If you have any candidates for the Secretariat, please tell me clearly."

Sun Zi hesitated and said, "It is better to order the scattered cavalry attendant Sima Shi, the governor of Youzhou Wuqiu Jian to lead the army to Liaodong and join forces with the Taiwei Sima Yi, Wang Chang and others? In the end, the Taiwei will still be led by the Taiwei."

"This is a very good statement."

Cao Rui nodded slightly. As the attendant of the scattered cavalry, Sima Shi was responsible for regulating mistakes and the emperor's consultant. He could also see that Sima Shi was a man who knew the military strategy and was good at military strategy, which was of great use.

Wu Qiu Jian, the governor of Youzhou, had an old friendship with the emperor himself for six years. He once attacked Liao twice and was an old rival of the Yan thief. It was the best place to enter Liaodong with the two as reinforcements.
