The Liaokou sea is vast, with hundreds of boats competing for the current, and the Wei army's rushing warships are rapidly distributed, so they cannot surround the Yan army in such a large sea area.

On the Wei army's rushing battleship, the catapult kept rising high, carrying huge stones and smashing them overwhelmingly. The distance was getting closer and closer. The Yan army boat landed at the end and entered the range of the Wei army. With a "kla", the stones smashed the boat into pieces and flew into pieces, making a huge hole in the side of the ship. The sea water seeped into the cabin and sank to the bottom of the sea in a short while.

Then there were a series of flying arrows, some of which were thrown into the water beside the boat, causing splashes of water several feet high.

Gongsun Xiu looked into the distance, knowing that the gap between the tower ships and warships between the two sides was not a small part and could not compete at all, so he immediately ordered his full retreat.

Wang Chang looked at the Yan army that was constantly evacuating, and was frightened and angry. He chased after hundreds of miles, and the flying arrows were flying all over the sky like money was not needed.

The Yan army had already broken the sky and attacked, but the firing speed was too slow. Eight small boats were surrounded on the spot. The rushing collided like a sea overlord. The eight small boats were smashed to pieces and sank directly into the sea.

Gongsun Xiu had no time to rescue the soldiers who fell into the water, so he had to leave by boat and personally operate the Potian Dang, breaking through the edge of the nearest ship, breaking out the hole the size of a bowl, and starting to enter the water.

When the Wei army rushed up, they saw the water in the hull, they had to hurry to make up for it so as not to suffer a shipwreck.

Forty rushing battleships chased dozens of small boats and didn't ask for any advantage.

Seeing that if he didn't run away, he would be packed with dumplings, so he turned around and entered the cabin and ordered the soldiers to escape quickly.

Du Zhi, the cavalry school next to him, said: "Sir, I suggest you not chase after me anymore. If the enemy's plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain, our navy will come out in full bloom, and the granary behind will be empty and easily attacked."

Wang Chang reacted and woke up, "Yes. Turn around and return to the granary immediately and must be heavily guarded. The young man who was only young and weak was Gongsun Yuan's son?"

"It should be,"

Du Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and frowned and said, "I heard that in the battle of Liao Tunnel, Gongsun Xiu saw through the Taiwei's strategy of attacking the east and west, resulting in the loss of 20% of our troops."

Wang Chang was still afraid and nodded, "I will report to the Taiwei immediately for this person to harass the food road and see how the Taiwei arranges it."

Du Zhi said: "Yes."

In the fourth year of Qinglong, Cao Rui issued an edict to seek talents. Sima Yi took a fancy to Wang Chang's talent and personally recommended it. This made Wang Chang's career smooth and he was able to participate in the battle of the northern expedition to Liaodong.

Wang Chang was very grateful to Sima Yi and thought about Sima Yi everywhere. Suddenly, he thought of the Yan army's boat that had just sunk, and hurriedly said, "By the way, please order someone to fish out the wreckage of the sunken boat. The Yan army's gods are so amazing, why not use it for me?"

Du Zhi's eyes lit up immediately and he hurriedly said, "Sir, I am very proud, and I will immediately let someone salvage the wreckage."

Wang Chang sneered in his heart and thought to himself: "The Yan army relied on nothing but a powerful weapon. If our army picks up and uses it, we will order the craftsmen in the army to imitate it. The Wei army has a large amount of equipment, so we will not be afraid of the surprise attacks of the Yan army from now on."

——

Wei army camp.

The scouts came to report: The Yan army harassed our army's food route.

Hu Zun was stunned and then said, "Our army's food route comes from the sea. How did the Yan army harass it without decent warships?"

The scout knelt on the ground and raised his head: "Return to General Hu, the Yan army used more than thirty small boats to harass the food road."

Hu Zun laughed and said, "The food route is guarded by Wang Chang, and there are no less than a hundred warships under his command. How can a mere small boat attack? It seems that the Liaodong rats have used up all their tricks and can only use this kind of small fight to scratch the surface."

The scout hurriedly said, "The Yan army's small boats are all equipped with Shenshen, which is far away. It seems that they are Shenshen who shot and killed the general that day. This weapon is not only used to defend the city, but also in naval battles. The enemy's boats are flexible and light, and our army chases the enemy, unexpectedly becoming a living target for the enemy."

After hearing this, Hu Zun understood the seriousness of the matter and turned his eyes to Sima Yi on the side, "Taiwei, our army's food supply is probably unsafe, so we need to continue to move."

Sima Yi opened his eyes and said lightly: "The food route should not be too far away, which is not conducive to our army's assistance and mutual assistance. The commander Wang Chang: To step up the defense, 10,000 infantry can be mobilized as border guards. The Yan army dares to harass him, so that he will never return."

Hu Zun hurriedly said, "Yes, yes - Taiwei, but the soldiers in our army are 10,000 less, but the soldiers who fight are only 20,000. In this way, our army's defense is empty again."

Hearing this remark, Sima Yi furiously said, "You have been fighting for many years. Don't you understand the importance of the food route? If the food route is cut off, even if our army has a million troops stationed in Liaoshui, they will be hungry and full of hunger within three days. Who is the most important of these? Don't you know?"

Hu Zun saw that the Taiwei was angry and dared not say anything else.

Sima Yi also said: "Since ancient times, most of them died in the food route, the rear route was cut off, the army was dispersed, and the enemy was defeated. There were countless people who fought with Yuan Shao in a decisive battle, and they also attacked Wuchao and burned all the food and grass in the Yuan army's granary, which successfully defeated Yuan Shao and unified the north."

Hu Zun quickly praised his goodness and said, "The last general has only one concern: our army is stationed in the Liaoshui area, and this place is a plain, so it is not easy to resist the cavalry of the Yan army."

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I have ordered the craftsman to build siege machines, cloud ladders and other siege equipment. When all of them are mature, they will first attack the Liao Tunnel and win a battle."

Hu Zun suddenly realized: "Does Taiwei mean to occupy the other party's city first?"

"It will be of great use to seize the Liao Tunnel."

Sima Yi did not wear armor in the military camp, had fat sleeves and wide robe, and had wooden clogs. At first glance, he looked like a general who was expeditioning to Liaodong. He was clearly a hermit who lived in the mountains and practiced immortality.

He paced in the barracks, and the wooden clogs made a crisp sound.

This was Sima Yi's habit when he was thinking. He walked three times and said calmly: "When I came to Liaodong, I had already surveyed the four seasons of rain, sunny changes, and the terrain of Xiangping, so I had this intention. I took the Liao Tunnel first, and Gongsun Xiu could not use the Liao River as a defense line, so I had to retreat to Xiangping. When the main force of the Yan army had to enter Xiangping north, the July River rose sharply, and the rain would inevitably be extremely heavy. The terrain of Xiangping was low and would be trapped by the flood. Our army could easily surround Xiangping in one go, and wait for the people to get hungry and kill each other, and compete to eat. There was no need for our army to take the initiative to send troops, Gongsun Yuan would come to beg for surrender."

Hu Zun was stunned and said, "Taiwei - Will there really be heavy rain in July?"

"That's natural. For the generals, they do not know the time and the right place, how can they command the entire army?"

Sima Yi shook his head and smiled, "Since the army was sent to Luoyang, Your Majesty asked me how to defeat Liaodong? I have already stated that Gongsun Yuan's desperate defense of Xiangping is the best strategy, and escaping is the best strategy. This is not empty talk, nor is it that I speak nonsense. The heavy rain in July gave our army the opportunity to seize the victory. They attacked the long distance and did not dare to stay, so they wanted to complete the siege before July."

Hu Zun was so fascinated that the emergency marching of the Taiwei before and after was the reason for this. He planned a detailed combat method a year later when he sent troops from Luoyang. He was immediately convinced and sighed: "The Wei State has such a Taiwei, and the world is stable."

Sima Yi's expression was a little complicated when he heard the four words "Stable in the world", and he thought of the figures of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Zhuge Liang and others in his past. These three people are no longer alive. Cao Cao, who suppressed most of his life, was incurable and died of illness. Cao Pi, who gave him the opportunity to take office and use it, passed away in his 40s. Zhuge Liang, who was called a chess opponent, also died of illness in Wuzhangyuan in a desperate duel...

Sima Yi was not as happy or angry as ever in his life, but after hearing these four words, his heart was ups and downs and he looked back on the past.

Hu Zun didn't understand what the Taiwei was thinking anymore, so he looked up at Sima Yi, and Sima Yi also happened to look over.

Hu Zun saw the unforgettable scene.

The Taiwei's shoulders were still motionless, and his head and neck turned like an eagle and wolf. Sima Yi's eyes showed fierce light, like a man-eating beast.

He was so scared that he dared not speak, and hurriedly fell to the ground, trembling with fear.

Sima Yi was stunned and then calmed down. He sat on the edge of the bed and waved his hand: "Hu Zun, you go out first. I am old and a little sleepy, and I can't open my eyes."
