The Wei army camp, the central army tent.

Sima Yi sat behind the desk and slowly looked through the official document in his hand. His eldest son Sima Shi stood by the sword, without saying a word, but his eyes kept twitching, and he glanced at Sima Yi from time to time.

He was worried about the scene he had just seen. Since the word "Han" appeared bizarrely in the night sky, he clearly felt the strange atmosphere in the camp. Countless soldiers raised their necks and looked at the word, their eyes were full of fear. However, a cheer sounded from the head of Fangling City, like a strong wind and a huge wave, making the atmosphere in the camp more depressed, and the morale, which had gradually declined in recent days, plummeted.

The Sima family in Wen County passed down from Confucianism. He did not believe in these strange things, but he did not believe it, which did not mean that others did not believe it. The army marched forward to more than a thousand miles, and all he wanted was to do was to make a concerted effort. Now, it has been more than ten days of siege. Just when he was about to achieve success, the Shu Han army came to support, which was not good news for them.

He once again turned his eyes on his father with hope. He could also guess his father's frustration at this moment, but he hoped that his father could stand up and say a few words, even if these words might not be useful.

"Ziyuan, have something to say?" Sima Yi closed the official document gently, twisted his neck gently, raised his hand and pinched his brow, and asked faintly.

"Yes, my father, the camp is a little panicked now. Is my father..."

Sima Yi interrupted Sima Shi: "Why are you panic? It's because of the reinforcements?"

Sima Shi nodded heavily: "Yes, many people said that when the Shu army arrived, we were attacked from both sides, with strong cities in front and strong enemies in the back. It is not advisable to fight for a long time, it should be..."

"We should immediately shrink our troops, set up camps and make a long-term plan?"

Sima Shi stopped talking. Since his father already knew everything, it would be meaningless to say it.

"What's the point of being short-sighted?" Sima Yi put down his hand, turned his head, and looked at Sima Shi: "Ziyuan, what about your own opinion?"

Sima Shi thought for a while: "Father, these people came over Zhushan. They must be a surprise soldier, and there will not be too many people. We can completely defeat them."

"Since there are not too many people, why bother?" Sima Yi stood up and walked slowly in the tent with his hands behind his back. "They came from all the way to help, but only released news on the hills, rather than raiding our army. Their intentions were very clear, just to give Meng Da courage, but they could not take the initiative to attack our army. So our enemy was Meng Da in the city, not those villains who dared not show up."

"But they were there, Mengda would think that reinforcements would be bad for our morale."

"Meng Da is already a fish swimming under the cauldron, and only one breath is left." Sima Yi waved his sleeves and looked at him disdainfully: "When he saw reinforcements coming, his morale may be a little excited, but this is not much different from the return before the death. Our army rushed over for a long distance, and the food was not enough. He could only fight quickly. If he delayed one more day, he would have more danger. At this time, there was no meaning to divide his troops to attack those people, except for wasting time and energy. We should gather all our strength to completely eliminate Meng Da."

He raised his head, looked through the door of the tent, looked at Fangling City in the distance, and sighed softly. "The only thing I am worried about is that when these people come, those who are already moved in the city will change their minds, hesitate, and refuse to attack Meng Da. It is very unfavorable to our army to forcibly attack the city. They... came in a bad time. I didn't expect that Zhuge Liang had such a general. Ziyuan, who do you think it would be?"

Sima Shi shook his head: "I can't guess. As far as I know, there are only a few generals in the Shu army who are brave and familiar with the terrain of Hanzhong. However, with their identity and status, they should not be subordinates of Zhuge Qiao. And those who are willing to worship Zhuge Qiao as the main general seem to have nothing to do with real talent."

"Yes, this is what I am most worried about." Sima Yi slowly withdrew his gaze: "Three points in the world are a foregone conclusion. I don't expect that it will be difficult for the world to restore unity in less than twenty years. What determines the future victory or defeat is not only national strength, but also talents. Not only the current talents, but also the talents in the future. The Shu Han will have a greater threat to our Great Wei."

Sima Shi remained silent.

...

There was a different scene in Fangling City. When Meng Da saw the miraculous ball of light, he was so excited that he immediately ordered the whole city to inform the whole city that reinforcements had arrived. In order to enhance his persuasion, he also swears that this was his appointment with Prime Minister Zhuge, and that the main force who came to support was the main force, who was best at mountain combat, and the one who led the troops was Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, the most famous general in Hanzhong.

This was originally just a fool of Meng Da, but he soon found that the light ball at high altitude turned direction and revealed the word "Wei". When Meng Da was shocked, he was secretly grateful. Although he didn't believe that Wei Yan would really come to save him, he hoped that his soldiers would believe this statement. After all, Wei Yan is one of the few important generals in the Shu Han army. If he comes to rescue himself, he will definitely be the main force.

Although Meng Da didn't want this to become a reality at all, at this moment, he must first calm the people's hearts and ensure that Fang Ling is not compromised by Sima Yi, so that all considerations will have practical significance.

Meng Da immediately summoned all the generals and told them the good news that "Wei Yan" came to help, asking them to speed up the time and reorganize the defense line. He said excitedly: "Sima Yi does not know the military, the light army is in deeper, and now he has been fighting fiercely for many days, so he can't do anything. The food and grass are approaching and reinforcements are coming again. Can he still conquer my Fangling?"

He struts with his head high, and his interest was swept away. He waved his hand vigorously: "I dare to assert that in three or five days, Sima Yi will inevitably retreat in a mess. You must not only seize the time to strengthen the city defense, but also prepare the power of counterattack. Sima Yi is coming in a fierce manner and has been fighting for so long. Can't we get back one or two?"

General Li Fu stood up and said loudly: "The general is right. It is impolite to come but not go. We should give Sima Yi some benefits and let him know that our Dongzhou soldiers are not vegetarians, and even more so that Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun should not underestimate us and have any evil intentions towards Xincheng in the future."

Meng Da smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Li Fu's considerateness. He coughed and continued, "Zikuang is right. We cannot rely on reinforcements. We must show our own skills. Otherwise, Xincheng County will become a piece of fat. I wonder how many people will stare at us and drool."

He paused, changed his subject and said, "Of course, at this moment, let them exert some force so that we can take a breath. Otherwise, if we beat Sima Yi away, the evil dog, and we will not have the strength to deal with the two hungry wolves. Do you think so?"
