When Cao Pi heard that Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were finally futile again, he couldn't help feeling melancholy and muttered to himself: "Such careful arrangement has failed! Is this God's will?"

Then a feeling of depressedness arose in my heart.

Sima Yi thought for a moment and said to Cao Ren: "Prime Minister, the enemy situation has changed. We should immediately change the original plan and divide the 200,000 troops in the current camp into two parts. One ambushed outside the four gates to prevent the enemy from coming out of assistance in the city, and the other immediately headed south outside the southern gate of Luoyang to intercept Lu Bu.

As long as Lu Bu can be stopped, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan's troops will arrive, they will form a front-and-back attack, and will surely annihilate Lu Bu and the Qin army led by him in one fell swoop."

Cao Pi was already a little discouraged, but when he heard Sima Yi's plan, he suddenly felt his eyes lit up and his fighting spirit was restored. He then said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda's plan is very good! I asked Zhongda to personally lead the army to intercept Lu Bu, and I led the army to ambush outside the city gates to prevent the enemy from coming out to help!"

Sima Yi clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister is wise! Without further ado, I will go here!"

Cao Pi nodded and reminded: "Zhongda is careful!"

Sima Yi couldn't help but feel moved, nodded, and turned around.

Ailang led tens of thousands of troops all the way back to Yangliu Village in the south of Luoyang.

Yangliu Village is particularly prosperous because it is located more than ten miles south of Luoyang and is on the verge of transportation. At the same time, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. It is definitely an ideal place for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

However, Yangliu Village had already been empty at this moment. Before the battle in Luoyang, the people of Yangliu Village had already fled to the nearby mountains to take refuge.

At this time, only a few dog barkings came from Yangliu Village occasionally, which seemed very empty.

Zhuge Mengxue said to Ailang: "Husband, Sima Yi is very scheming and conceited. I believe he has already learned the news that our army has arrived at this moment.

I think that you should not rush to enter the city. It is better to temporarily order the army to take a break here and send scouts to find out the situation ahead before making a decision."

Ailang nodded and immediately ordered Dian Wei to send a scout forward to investigate the situation.

Dian Wei Yingnuo immediately sent a scout to act.

Ailang looked at the village where there was no sign in front of him and ordered: "Send the order, everyone should not break into the house without authorization. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

The commemorative officer immediately sent the order.

Ailang turned over and got off the horse and walked to a big locust tree not far away. Zhuge Mengxue followed her, while other personal soldiers surrounded her guards.

Ailang looked up at the big locust tree in front of him, and smiled teasingly, "This village is called Yangliu Village, but I haven't seen any of the willow trees, and the most conspicuous ones is a big locust tree! Is this not worthy of its name?"

Zhuge Mengxue smiled and said, "What my husband said is very true.

But today, it’s not just the name of this village.”

Ailang smiled.

The scout who rushed to the front to investigate the situation rushed back in the afternoon and reported to Ailang: "Report to the King of Qin, the 100,000 troops of Cao's army set up camps in front of Luoshui floating bridge, and were ready for battle."

Ailang frowned and looked at Zhuge Mengxue.

Zhuge Mengxue thought, "This must be Sima Yi's plan.

He wanted to block our army at the Luoshui floating bridge, and then wait for Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan's troops to catch up, and then attack us from behind!"

Ailang nodded, touched his chin and frowned, "Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were blocked at Dagu Pass. He is now taking a detour. He will probably catch up in two days at most. We only have two days to use to break the current obstacles of Cao's army! But..." Speaking of this, Ailang's brows frowned even more tightly.

Zhuge Mengxue understood Ailang's meaning, and then he said, "But there are 100,000 enemy troops, not to mention that we broke their interception, we are afraid that we will find it difficult for us to resist the attack!"

He paused and thought, "Sima Yi seemed to be very concerned about the combat power of our army and did not dare to take risks. Therefore, he used a hundred thousand army to defend the key pass and adopted the most conservative and impeccable method to deal with us! As long as he could drag Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to arrive, he would basically be sure to win!"

Ailang couldn't help but smile and said jokingly: "What do you say, 'Zhuge is only cautious in life'. I think Sima Yi's cautiousness is no less than Kong Ming!"

Zhuge Mengxue couldn't help but smile.

When Ailang thought of the current situation, he couldn't help but feel upset and murmured to himself: "Sima Yi's obstacle must be broken within two days!" He paused, "or rather, we must cross the Luo River within two days!"

Zhuge Mengxue nodded and said, "What my husband said is very true! Defeating Sima Yi is not our purpose, but how to cross the Luo River and return to Luoyang is our purpose."

Then he said to Ailang: "I thought of a strategy of beating the east and the west, maybe it will be possible."

Ailang grabbed Zhuge Mengxue's slender hand and asked, "What strategy?"

Zhuge Mengxue's face turned red and couldn't speak for a while.

Ailang suddenly saw Zhuge Mengxue like this, and his heart was shaking, his mind suddenly went astray, and a thought arose.

On the banks of the Luo River, Cao's army's tent.

Sima Yi had already learned from the scout that Lu Bu had arrived in Yangliu Village more than ten miles away in Henan. He immediately ordered the army to prepare for combat and must not slack off. At the same time, he strictly warned the army that they would not fight without orders. Even if the violators win, they would be punished with military laws.

Sima Yi stood in front of the huge map, his eyes fell on Yangliu Village more than ten miles south of his camp, with a thoughtful look on his face and muttered to himself: "Zhuge Mengxue, I have heard that although you are just a female, you are as wise as the sea, and you are as good as the top counselor of the world.

Now that I have set up my chess pieces, how will you make a move?"

When Sima Yi said this, his eyes were filled with excitement, and his expression seemed to be a chess player who wanted to play against an opponent who was about to match his opponent.

At this time, a scout came in quickly and reported: "Sir, the Qin army has taken action. Lu Bu personally led the army to come straight to this side! It is expected that his vanguard will appear in half an hour!"

The generals showed an excited expression, and a general said excitedly: "Everything is as expected by the lord! Then Lu Bu had no choice but to attack our military camp!"

Another general said sarcastically: "Our army has a total of 100,000, and only 40,000 troops, but it is coming to attack us. It is simply a stone attack with eggs! I don't think we need to wait for the two generals Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to come, so we can completely defeat the army of Lu Bu and capture Lu Bu alive!"

The generals burst into laughter.

Sima Yi smiled slightly and said to the generals: "Everyone said it well.

However, we should not be careless about Lu Bu and his Qin army! Although we are now sure to win, we should also take twelve points of vigilance and use twelve points of strength! As the saying goes, lions can fight rabbits with all their strength! Do you understand?"

Everyone agreed loudly.

Sima Yi lowered his head and thought, then turned to look at Yangliu Village on the map. He was wondering if there was anything he hadn't thought of?

Not long after, Ailang led a large army to the riverside and approached Nandaying, which Sima Yi set up on the south bank of the Luo River.

Seeing that the opponent was on guard against the battlefield, Ailang did not dare to attack rashly. He turned his head to Dian Wei and said, "Old Dian, go and challenge!"

Dian Wei responded excitedly and immediately rode a horse out of the battle to the other party's military camp gate. He raised his iron halberd and shouted loudly: "I am Dian Wei, who dares to come out to die?

!”

The huge sound rolled between heaven and earth like thunder and tigers. The Cao army soldiers in the camp looked horrified and looked around, hoping that someone would dare to go out to fight. However, tens of thousands of troops looked at each other, and no one dared to fight.

Sima Yi was worried about affecting his morale, and smiled and said happily: "Everyone doesn't have to pay attention to the challenges of the Qin army! They dare not attack our camp, so they follow the example of shrews scolding the streets!"

When Cao's officers and soldiers heard Sima Yi's words, they were relieved and couldn't help laughing.

Dian Wei shouted and scolded for a while, but Cao's army was still unmoved.

Dian Wei was very bored, so he turned his horse and ran back to Ailang's side, and said angrily: "Lord, they are all turtles shrank and dare not fight!"

Ailang knocked on the forehead with his finger and muttered, "This is really a turtle, I am determined to retract my head and limbs into his turtle shell!"

He looked at the situation of Cao Jun camp and smiled and said, "I'll see if this is really as hard as a turtle shell!"

Then he raised the Fang Tian Painted Ridge, and the unique sound of the Qin army's horn sounded like a tiger and wolf roaring.

Thousands of Qin infantrymen held shields and arranged in neatly to advance towards the Cao army camp in front! Sima Yi saw that the Qin army was attacking, immediately raised his right hand.

Thousands of Cao's crossbowmen immediately raised their strong bows and strong crossbows and were ready to go.

Sima Yi stared at Qin Jun who was constantly approaching, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and his right hand raised high suddenly lowered.

Seeing this, the Cao army crossbowmen, who had been ready to go, immediately fired arrows. With a loud noise from the old man, countless arrows suddenly flew into the sky, as if a dark cloud formed in an instant, flying towards the Qin army! At that time, the dark clouds flew to the head of the Qin army in a blink of an eye, turning into a strong rainstorm and falling on the Qin army! Immediately, the ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-shot sounded, which was the sound of arrows hitting the shield! Although the Qin army raised the shield in time, this could not completely resist the arrows. Several Qin soldiers were shot into their bodies by arrows between the shields and fell to the ground! These situations were quite rude, but they all happened and ended in a moment! This wave of arrow rain passed, and the ground was filled with dense arrows, and the scene was shocking! Many of the shields in the hands of the Qin army attacking troops were also inserted by arrows like hedgehogs.

The Qin army attacking troops continued to advance.

Not long after, Cao's second powerful rain of arrows flew out.

The Qin army couldn't help but stop and raised their shields to block it. In an instant, the dense and violent rain of arrows seemed to flood the Qin army, and many Qin soldiers were shot to the ground! The Qin army has always been known for its bravery and fearlessness, but at this time, these Qin soldiers couldn't help but feel panic.

Seeing that the attacking troops were in a disadvantageous situation, Ailang immediately ordered the attack to stop.

The sound of the golden bell rang out loud, and the Qin army attacking troops slowly retreated in an orderly manner.

When Gao Lan saw this scene, he said loudly as if he was teasing: "I thought the Qin army was so powerful?

So that's just that!"

The generals burst into laughter.

At this time, the entire Qin army was slowly retreating, setting up camps several miles away, but did not continue to attack.

As night fell, Sima Yi stood in front of the map and showed his thoughts.

At this time, Gao Lan quickly stepped in, clasped his fists at Sima Yi and said, "Sir."

Sima Yi turned around and asked, "Did the Qin army have any actions?"
Chapter completed!
