MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1235 Sima Yi and Lu Xun

  Chapter 1235 Sima Yi and Lu Xun

  Since Cao Rui died, 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 can already be regarded as a self-respecting soldier.

  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 listens to the tune nor listens to the announcement.

   It’s just this kind of thing, no matter what the reason is, no matter how good the superficial skills are, it will be true.

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

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

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

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

  Wait for the generals to go down to prepare, Sima Yi ordered again:

   "Let Dr. Ma come over."

   Ma Jun soon arrived at the order:

   "Teacher, are you looking for me?"

   "The 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 rest assured, my majesty has 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 grand master's important matter."

  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 shall remain!"

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

  Either... Taifu made a mistake?

   "Teacher, you mean... say..."

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

   "Destroy, ruin, ruin?"

   "Yes, destroy it!"

  Sima Yi nodded, and said in a firm tone, "Reinforcements from the bandit army 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 reinforcements from the thieves 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!"

  Always paying attention to cultivating the mind and character, Grand Tutor Wei Guo, after sighing, in an instant, his body became a little rickety, and his face also became sluggish.

   After several years of planning, Sima Yi must have thought of turning the tide.

  Especially after the death of Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, it is unknown whether the Han State 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 about to go downhill?

   This time sending troops, especially to attack Taiyuan, seems a bit 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 been transferred from Chang'an, and Han Guo's quick response was still beyond his expectations.

   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 a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh to the sky:

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

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

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

  Dahan Zhendong General Guan Suo 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 entangle with Guan Suo, so he withdrew from Jingxing and entered Jizhou.

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

  General Lu Xun of the State of Wu surrounded Xiangyang with 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 are few defenders in Xiangyang, and most of them are deployed on the south side. It is impossible to imagine that the Wu people can climb the city wall from the water.

  Caught off guard, the outer city of Xiangyang fell.

  Wan Qiujian, Hu Zhi and others on the opposite bank wanted to break through the Hanshui River from Fancheng and rescue Xiangyang, but there were almost no Wei Guoshui troops.

   In addition, they are facing the Wu State water army, and Lu Xun, who knows the best military strength in Wu State.

  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 the flames and black smoke rising from the inner city...

  Pu Zhong, the Xiangyang guard who set himself on fire in the fire, cried out in grief before dying:

   "The fall of Xiangyang is not my fault, but Wu Qiujian's! First he was deceived by the bandits, and then he failed to rescue him. It is indeed 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, restrained his exclamation, and put a smile on his face:

   "Mr. Ma, without your help, I am afraid that 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 with each other, and they agree to fight against thieves. If Tian does not encounter this matter, it will be fine, but once it does, how can there be any reason to sit and watch?"

   "Mr. has a heart!" Lu Xun said with emotion, "If everyone in Wu and Han countries is like Mr., 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 eliminated.

  Maybe...

   Ma Tian 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 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:

   "Wish I could see that day."

   Hearing this, Martin 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 my ear!"

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

  He calculated in his heart:

  Sima Yi of Wei State is already over 60 years old, and Lu Xun of Wu State is almost the same age, but how old is the guardian of our big man?

  Well, anyway, it can kill them properly!

   Done!

  Martin 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 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?"

  Ma Tian looked around, the Wu soldiers who had entered the city had long been scrambling to rob, 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 accompanied the Great General into the city, I found that the General's face is occasionally worried. Why is this?"

  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, he shouldn't be asking the general such questions..."

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

   "There is nothing that cannot be said about this matter."

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

   "Although I won a big victory in the west, but on Jianye's side, there is a national death and death!"

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

   Hearing this, Martin 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 the Crown Prince loves others and is 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!"

  Sighing again and again, Martin comforted Lu Xun and said:

   "However, Master Wu has many heirs, and I heard that they are all outstanding people. I think I will be able to choose a good 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 the two are different as 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.

   Didn't expect... Alas!

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

   What Martin said about His Majesty's heirs are all outstanding people is 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 this, so naturally it can't be said to Martin.

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

  He bowed his hands to Lu Xun:

   "General, the matter is over here, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay longer, I will take the students back to Dahan in the near future, please allow me, General."

  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 has made many friends in the past few years, so how could he not be aware that Jianye is already undercurrent?

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

  Unexpectedly, when Lu Xun just arrived in Jingzhou, he was besieging Xiangyang.

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

   After weighing it for a while, Martin decided to use his identity as a student to help inquire about it.

  At the same time, compared to Sun Quan's attack on Hefei, Lu Xun, the top general who cut off the Han River, was obviously more valuable 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 still 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, the harvest is full.

  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:

   "Mr. is 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:

   "Mr. helped me break through Xiangyang. I haven't thanked him properly. If I 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 has just broken Xiangyang, north of the Han River, there are still powerful enemies. 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 important task of the general, 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.

   Besides, what the other party said is also true.

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

  Looking at the streets of Xiangyang City, Lu Xun saw excited Wu army soldiers coming out of private houses with big bags and small bags...

  His brow frowned, and it was finally hard to keep him too much.

   Martin handed over again:

   "Then I will resign first."

  Turning around, I happened to see Luo Xian and Fu Jian who were not far away, looking at the city with their heads poking around, 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 watch it, don't watch 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?"

   "Everyone in 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 impressions of Wu people.

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

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

   "The elite of the Wu army's battalions are mostly generals. They 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 on their own. It is difficult for Wu to become a big man from a small perspective."

   Martin smiled when he heard this.
