"General, it's not good!"

Mengda's general Li Fu rushed into the prefect's mansion in a panic, "Here we come, the Wei army is here!"

After Meng Da decided to rebel against Wei, he sent letters to Wu and Shu at the same time, agreeing on a date and waiting for them to come for reinforcements.

In his opinion, there was Hanzhong to the east of the new city and Nanjun to the south. Wu and Shu both wanted something from him, so they would definitely send troops there.

As long as you can defend the city and cooperate with Han and Wu inside and outside, nothing will be a problem.

Now when he heard that the Wei army had appeared outside the city, he was shocked at first, and then smiled confidently, "The only one who can come so fast is Shen Yi from Wei Xing County, why are you panicking?"

"No, General!" Li Fu's face was pale, with a look of horror, "It's Duke Sima, the flag of Duke Sima!"

When Meng Da heard this, his heart suddenly twitched. His legs felt weak and he fell to the ground. "Impossible! Sima Yi just wrote me a letter eight days ago. How could he have arrived at the city?"

In Mengda's heart, there was only one Sima Yi in Jingzhou worth fearing, but he didn't expect that it would be him who personally led the army.

Thinking of this, he trembled and wanted to stand up, but found that his limbs were weak, so he had to say in a hurry, "Quick, quick! Help me up!"

Li Fu quickly stepped forward to hold Meng Da's arm. As soon as Meng Da exerted his strength, Li Fu let out an "ouch" and fell onto him. It turned out that Li Fu's legs were too weak and he could not stand.

Since Meng Da had decided to rebel against Wei, he was finally prepared. After calming down his mood and regaining consciousness, he pushed himself up and ran outside.

He ran up the city wall and looked far into the distance. He saw that on the other side of the blocked water, there were indeed people and horses screaming and setting up camp.

On the tallest and largest flag, you can vaguely see the word "Sima".

"What a speed!"

Meng Da said tremblingly.

"Uncle, what should we do?"

Mengda's nephew Deng Xian, who was patrolling the city, was following Mengda and asked nervously.

"There are not many troops in the new city, and Shen Yi is looking to the west. We can only defend the city and wait for reinforcements." Meng Da said quickly, "Quick, gather all the troops back."

"promise!"

Deng Xian hurriedly ran down to make arrangements.

Meng Da saw that the soldiers around him had fearful expressions on their faces, and immediately shouted, "Why are you panicking? Shangyong City is surrounded by water on three sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we can defend it for a month, reinforcements from Han and Wu will arrive. By then Sima Yi will

If he doesn’t retreat, I will let him die here!”

Sima Yi led the Chinese army to arrive a day later. When he learned that Mengda had completely withdrawn into the city, he pointed at Shangyong City with a riding whip and said with a smile, "This city must be destroyed! Our army is coming from a long way.

He is so tired that he dare not go out to fight, which shows that his courage is broken."

"If a general has no courage, his army will not have the will to fight. The head on Meng Da's neck will definitely be mine!"

So he ordered the army to rest for a day, and at the same time sent Sima Division to go around to the front to block the only intersection. He also ordered people to cut wood and make boats for crossing the river.

News that Sima Yi's troops surrounded Shangyong reached Hanzhong and Nanjun of Jingzhou, and Han and Wu responded quickly.

The Prime Minister of Hanzhong sent Li Yi as commander and Huang Chong as deputy general, and led 3,000 troops down the Han River to support Mengda.

Xincheng is separated from Hanzhong by Weixing County.

However, this Weixing County is bordered by the Qinling Mountains to the north and Bashan Mountain to the south. The Han River crosses the east and west, and the valley basin is in the middle. The terrain is narrow and the army cannot launch an attack.

Shen Yi of Wei Xing County heard that the Han army was coming and sent people to guard the Anqiao road, which was the only way to prevent the Han army from assisting Mengda.

At the end of December in Jingzhou, the weather had begun to get slightly warm. Zhuge Jin was sweating profusely and hurriedly walked into the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion and said to Lu Xun, "Captain, there is a letter from Meng Da."

When Lu Xun heard this, his heart skipped a beat, "He just wrote a letter two days ago saying that he wanted to take action against Wei. I haven't replied to him yet, so why did he come again? Could it be that something happened?"

He hurriedly took the letter from Zhuge Jin, read it at a glance, and then sighed, "Mengda is going to die!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jin asked anxiously, "Captain, what happened?"

Lu Xun handed the letter in his hand to Zhuge Jin, "Eight days after the Mengda uprising, Sima Yi arrived at Shangyong City. The handwriting in the letter was scrawled and the tone was urgent. It was obvious that the situation was messed up and I'm afraid it wouldn't last long."

Zhuge Jin recalled that in Huang Wu's fifth year, he led his troops to attack Xiangyang, was defeated by Sima Yi, and fled back to Nanjun in embarrassment.

At that moment, he couldn't help but sigh, "This Sima Yi not only has great strategy, but he is also really good at using troops. He traveled 1,200 miles in eight days. He is really very fast and has mastered the art of war."

"Sima Bada, Sima Yi being the most important, and Meng Da being lucky and not keeping things secret, they should all be defeated like this." Lu Xun sighed, "It's just a pity that such a good opportunity was missed."

"Captain, don't we care?"

Zhuge Jin asked.

Lu Xun did not answer. He walked to a large desk, lowered his head and looked carefully at the map of Jingzhou on the desk.

He stood in front of the map in silence for a long time, with a glint in his eyes. He finally made up his mind and put his finger on a certain place, "Here, Ziyu, you will lead five thousand soldiers and horses. Set off from Zigui, cross Fenshui, and go forward."

Go for reinforcements.”

"Commander, wouldn't it be better to go through Jushui? Zigui is too close to Yong'an, not only is it easy for Shu people to misunderstand, but the road is not as easy as going through Jushui." Zhuge Jin was a little confused, "Besides, five thousand people are not too few.

Already?"

"If Jushui is too close to Xiangyang, Zhang He in Xiangyang will be on guard. You set out under my banner with great fanfare. If there is any disharmony, come back immediately and don't get involved with the Wei army."

Lu Xun said, tapping his fingers lightly, his eyes fell on the word Xiangyang on the picture, and said, "I will personally write a letter to the Shu general in Yong'an to explain this matter. Just go and calm down."
