Chapter 1741: Sima Please Surrender to Youyan
"This is exactly what I think." Shen Long pointed to the map and talked about his arrangement, "The prime minister led the troops from Guandu to Muye, General Guan led the troops out of Taihang, and attacked Wei County from Huguan, then the city of Ye was destroyed. Surrounded, Cao Rui can't escape with wings!"
Shen Long and Zhuge Liang were attacking the city here, and Guan Yu was not idle. He went all the way north from Xieliang and took down Shangdang and Bingzhou. In this way, all the land in the east of the river was owned by the Shu Han, and he could attack Cao Wei's territory through the Eight Routes of Taihang.
"I will lead the troops to go northward, approaching Youyan, and completely cut off Cao Wei's retreat. Surrounded on three sides, Cao Wei will definitely return." Guan Yu is in the east, Zhuge Liang is in the south, and the north is under his control, leaving only the west, but the west is Bohai, is it possible that Cao Rui can lead his troops to flee to the country of Wa?
"Zifeng puts the overall situation first, thank you Liang!" Zhuge Liang got up and saluted respectfully. According to Shen Long's arrangement, he and Guan Yu will be given the credit for taking down Yecheng and capturing Cao Rui. , May I ask that the general who leads the army can endure this kind of temptation? Shen Long made this arrangement but sacrificed his credit and reputation in consideration of the overall situation.
Shen Long didn't care too much, if Cao Cao was still alive, those cities of Ye might still be a little tempting to him, but now let alone Cao Cao, even Cao Pi has died, a junior like Cao Rui really makes him I can't be interested, anyway, I have already won Sun Quan, and as for Cao Rui, I will leave it to Zhuge Liang.
"Prime Minister, you don't need to be like this. When I came out of the mountain, my master told me that after the world is settled down, I will follow the example of Liuhou and go back to the mountain to travel from Chisongzi. Some false names are useless to me." Shen Long began I have been vaccinated in advance, but this time I will be naked, and I will have to leave after the world is reunified.
With Shen Long's great prestige now, if he left without making a sound, the Shu Han would have to fry the pot, so let's reveal a little information first, so that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can be mentally prepared.
"Ah?" Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard the words. He is in his forties this year, and he is not young in this era. Seeing the hope of unifying the world, he also began to think about the future arrangements of the Shu Han, and he had already regarded Shen Long as his successor prime minister. If Shen Long was the best candidate, Shu Han would not have to worry about it for decades to come, but now that he heard that Shen Long was leaving, he couldn't accept it for a while.
Zhuge Liang quickly persuaded, "Although the unification of the world is in sight, the Central Plains has been fighting for many years, and the people are exhausted. If you want to recover, you can't leave Zifeng!"
"The Prime Minister is too modest. Now Your Majesty is in good health, and the Prime Minister is in his prime. There are so many young talents in the court. He only needs to rest and recuperate. The man will recover to the grandeur of Wenjing, so why worry?" Although Liu Chan is not a hero , but he has an advantage, that is, he can be obedient. If it is in troubled times, an emperor like Liu Chan is not a good thing, but when it is peacetime, this kind of emperor who does not make troubles is perfect, and it is suitable for the big man to rest and recuperate.
Shen Long reckoned that Liu Bei could still live for a few more years, and Zhuge Liang didn't have to work hard like in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He would have people selected from the imperial examination to help him share the burden, and he would have his own prescriptions to recuperate his body. It won't be a problem in the past twenty years. By then, the big man may have recovered long ago, right?
When I take down Youyan, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang and capture Yecheng, the world will be unified again. Compared with the original history, the Three Kingdoms have been unified more than 50 years earlier, and the wars of more than 50 years have been reduced. Being able to keep a lot more, plus Zhuge Liang resting and recuperating according to the method he left behind, there will definitely be no tragedies in the future.
Zhuge Liang begged again and again, but Shen Long laughed and said nothing, so Zhuge Liang had to report the news to Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei could keep Shen Long. The more he got in touch with Zhuge Liang, the more he felt that Shen Long had too much valuable knowledge. If he can work hard for one more year in the court of Shu Han, Shu Han will be stronger. How can he be willing to let Shen Long leave?
It's just that Cao Wei has not yet been eliminated, and neither Zhuge Liang nor Shen Long can return to Chang'an.
This matter can only be done in the future; after the discussion is over, the final attack on Cao Wei will be launched according to Shen Long's plan.
Shen Long left most of his soldiers and horses to Zhuge Liang, and he took Yu Jin and his elites back on board, and headed northward along the Bohai Bay towards Youyan.
In a few days, the army arrived in the western sea of Liaoning and landed from Lulong. At this time, Youyan was still very desolate, and the local defenders hardly thought that there would be enemies coming from the sea, so Shen Long led the army to the west of Liaoning easily. soil of.
The raid took down a pier and asked about the recent situation in the north. From the mouth of the local defenders, Shen Long learned that Gongsun Yuan sent generals Bei Yan and Yang Zuo to lead a total of more than 10,000 people to garrison the Liao Tunnel. Digging trenches for more than 20 miles; Sima Yi's army reached the Liao Tunnel and defeated Gongsun Yuan several times.
So Sima Yi led his troops straight to the city of Liao Tunnel, and dug the trench. It happened that it rained heavily for more than 30 days, and the water in Liao was soaring. Sima Yi's transport ship could sail directly from Liaokou to the city of Liao Tunnel. Sima Yi immediately piled up mounds around the city, built watchtowers, prepared a lot of stones, and fired them straight into the city with a crossbow.
Gongsun Yuan was afraid and anxious. The food in the city was exhausted, and people began to eat people. The dead were countless. Yang Zuo and others surrendered. Not long after, Gongsun Yuan's entire army was defeated. Fleeing; Sima Yi's army chased after him, killed Gongsunyuan and his son, Liaotun city was breached, thousands of officials below Xiangguo were beheaded, Gongsunyuan's head was sent to Yecheng, Liaodong, Daifang, Lelang, Xuantu and other places were also pacified one after another.
However, Sima Yi did not return to Yecheng immediately after the Gongsunyuan rebellion was put down, but continued to occupy Youyan under the pretext that Gongsunyuan's remaining party was not settled, as if he had a heart of disobedience.
"Haha, I guess Sima Yi also knows that Cao Wei is powerless. He is planning for the future!" Shen Long said with a smile. If the Shu Han is destroyed and the hope of unifying the world is interrupted, then Sima Yi can consider expanding the territory.
And if Cao Wei was quickly defeated by the Shu Han, then Sima Yi would have soldiers and territory in his hand, even if he surrendered, he could sell it for a good price. Shen Long guessed what Sima Yi was thinking, so he sent envoys to surrender, and it would not be difficult to defeat Sima Yi. But it's always good to keep a little more vitality for the Central Plains.
Sima Yi heard that the envoy Shen Long had occupied western Liaoning. After Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu surrounded Yecheng, he sighed and knew that there was no way to recover, so he took Sima Shi, Sima Zhao and others out of the city to surrender to Shen Long.
