Chapter 279 Sima Yi's Considerations
The Jin Dynasty army, which had successfully attacked the territory of the Song Dynasty, was in great shape. After joining with Liu Yu, the commander of Zhao Kingdom, he planned to discuss killing the territory of the Song Dynasty and to fight this self-defense counterattack into a battle to defend the capital.
However, Sima Yi now learned that the front line troops had reached the border of the Song Dynasty and had successfully joined Liu Yu, the head commander of the Zhaoguo army, which was actually a happy thing.
But now they have to face a problem, that is, how to fight?
"Father, my ninth brother and the others have already reached the border of the Song Dynasty. Why did you suddenly let them stop?" Sima Zhao asked in confusion.
But Sima Yi shook his head and turned to Sima Zhao and said, "This battle was determined to fight by Zhao Kuangyin. The other party's economic strength is too great. If we act rashly, it is very likely that we will be in line with our expectations."
"Didn't Zhao Kuangyin spend all his wealth here? He also borrowed all the property of all the merchants of the Song Dynasty. Now Zhao Kuangyin owes sky-high money. If we drive straight into the attack on the Song Dynasty, even if Zhao Kuangyin doesn't surrender, those merchants will take us to collect debts." Sima Zhao said his thoughts.
In fact, Sima Zhao said it is quite reasonable, but Sima Yi has been used to enduring it in his life, and taking the initiative is not his idea. The same thing as Zhuge Liang is that he was reluctant to speak loudly in Wei State and did not dare to speak loudly. But at this position, he doesn't want to do anything else.
Sima Zhao also understood his father's meaning. For such a long time, he had not taken power seriously. Many of them were inserted by others and made him unable to obtain power normally.
"Hey...what now? Just guard it if you don't advance or retreat?" Sima Zhao sighed and asked with his head up.
"Let's see what Zhaoguo should do. If the other party sends troops to start a war, we should not be idle, and fight with them."
After learning that the Jin Dynasty had expelled Liu Qi's army, Feng Hao had already developed a specific strategy, Liu Yu proposed to continue pursuing, Wang Meng expressed his strong approval, and Guo Wei also said that he could all be suppressed now.
Everyone thought that it was a two-pronged approach, and Feng Hao called Sima Yan again to ask them what was going on, whether to call or not.
"You Zhaoguo send troops, we will follow you." Sima Yan's attitude was very clear. Zhaoguo now takes up the majority, and they don't move, and no soldiers or soldiers of the Jin Dynasty will move.
So Feng Hao told Sima Yan clearly: "Our Zhaoguo army attacked the Song Dynasty's territory the next day. If you can't keep up with our army's progress, don't blame us for being rude."
When they heard that Feng Hao and the others were sending troops tomorrow, Sima Yi, who was standing beside him, nodded. Since they wanted to pull the Jin Dynasty to attack the Song Dynasty, it means that they needed this ally.
Now the strength of the two states of Zhaoguo merged with each other has increased greatly, and their troops have increased from one million to more than two million, with countless weapons and food. Now, what else can they do besides attacking with them?
"Okay, attack tomorrow." Sima Yan agreed to Feng Hao and immediately ordered Yang Hu on the front line to ask them to gather all their troops to press on the Song Dynasty border immediately.
Feng Hao also ordered Liu Yu that the Jin Dynasty army would attack with them tomorrow, and all military dispatches would obey Zhaoguo's arrangements. If they were disobedient, they would ignore them and fight with them.
"I understand." When Liu Yu heard this, his eyes shone. Isn't this just giving him a chance to destroy the Jin Dynasty again?
The next morning, Liu Yu beat the drum and promoted the tent. All the generals got up early. It was dawn and this was a great opportunity to send troops.
"Gather all the troops and launch an attack on the territory of the Song Dynasty." Liu Yu said to the generals.
He Ruobi and Chai Rong nodded, took out their mobile phones and ordered the soldiers from all departments to get up quickly and all gathered within a quarter of an hour.
"Where is breakfast? Eat first or finish before eating?" Chai Rong asked while touching his stomach.
Liu Yu smiled and immediately ordered the chef to carry the breakfast they had made early.
"Treat first. Eating meat in the morning is not good for health. Drink some soup and steamed buns. After the fight at noon, sit in the enemy's tent opposite to have lunch."
Everyone was holding a bowl of broth and steamed buns. Some people wanted to drink this broth, so they specially divided it into several parts. They ate three or four of them with the buns before they finished drinking all the soup.
After a while, the soldiers in the camp had already replenished their energy. Everyone had enough food and drink. Liu Yu came to the tent with his sword, looked at the rising sun, and ordered all the Zhaoguo army to attack.
"Soldiers, you can rest for a while after the battle." Liu Yu shouted to these soldiers.
After hearing this battle, everyone was ecstatic and finally went home to see their family, wife and children. However, this war also brought them military merits and rewards, which was considered a return home in glory.
When the Jin army heard that Zhaoguo had already made any noise, the commander Yang Hu immediately put on his armor and waited for battle. All the generals hurried to the central army tent to prepare for the matter.
"The Zhaoguo army is so fast. It seems that their people have set off." Du Yu said in disbelief.
Liu Laozhi, who was sleepy on the side, said, "Of course, I know what Liu Yu is like. If he fights, he will be energetic and all the soldiers will be affected by him."
Wen Chu was a little unhappy: "How can we gain the ambition of others and destroy our own power? After fighting the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kingdom may be our biggest threat. We should work harder in this battle."
The late King of Zhao Sima Lun and King of Qi Sima Jiong said to everyone: "What are you waiting for here! The Zhao Kingdom army has set off, and if you wait any longer, they will snatch the meat away!"
So Yang Hu immediately made a combat instruction, and all the soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty moved with the Zhaoguo army. Wherever they fought, they would attack the city next to them.
Two hours later, the sun shone brightly, and as the weather became colder, there was also some frost on the ground. The Zhaoguo army, which had been replaced with new equipment, was very warm. In contrast, the Jin army had not yet issued their new equipment, and the soldiers were still marching in single clothes.
"It's already October, why don't the winter clothes be delivered in China? If you drag them down, the soldiers will not be able to hold on until the night or morning." Simalun said with complaint.
Sima Liang, who was standing beside him, said, "Who said no? I will call my father later and ask what the situation is."
In contrast, the soldiers of the Zhaoguo army were all very satisfied with their clothes.
“This dress is so warm.”
"I heard that it was the king who issued an edict to make clothes for us by cloth craftsmen across the country."
