Chapter 1097 The wings are growing

Sima Shi felt that he was really in decline, and all the things he was worried about would eventually become reality.

He was worried that Cao Liang would attack Youzhou, but in fact, Cao Liang was indeed going to attack Youzhou; he was worried that Wei Guan and Wang Qi would not defend the city, but instead took the initiative to attack, but his worries came true again.

When he heard the news that Wang Qi took the initiative to lead the Youzhou cavalry to attack, his heart suddenly felt cold and he lamented: "It's over!"

As expected, the next battle report was the news that the Youzhou cavalry was defeated.

This is not that Simashi predicted things as if he was a god, but that he knew very clearly how terrifying the combat power of the Bingzhou cavalry was, and it was not something that the Youzhou cavalry could compete with.

Although Wang Qi had long been in Liaodong and had great military achievements, he fought with him with only the cavalry of Goguryeo and Wuhuan Xianbei. The combat power of these troops was simply not comparable to that of the Bingzhou Army. Especially after the Bingzhou Army was equipped with new horse harnesses, the overall combat power of the Bingzhou Army was significantly improved. During the Battle of Jinzhong, the Sima Army's 70,000 cavalry were defeated and lost. Such a defeat was by no means accidental. The combat power of both sides was not on the same level at present.

Even the 70,000 cavalry of Sima's army is not an opponent. It is conceivable that the 30,000 cavalry of Youzhou Army will basically be sent to the death if they go to fight.

If Wei Guan and Wang Qi were able to defend themselves strictly, there might be a glimmer of hope, and of course there was only a glimmer of hope. After all, the infantry of the Bingzhou Army was not vegetarian. The new catapult cart was quite terrible. It was a nightmare for the army guarding the city.

But even so, there is still some hope to stick to the city, but Sima Shi knew that Youzhou was completely over after their battle.

Wang Qi suffered a severe blow in Liangxiang. The two prefects, Gong Zun and Liu Mao, died in battle. More than half of the 30,000 troops who fought had lost. Such a remnant army was defeated, and it was so difficult to defend Youzhou. Wei Guan and Wang Qi saw the opportunity. In order to preserve their strength, they decisively gave up Ji County and led their troops to Linyu Pass.

Now in Youzhou, the Youzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army have entered a stalemate. The Bingzhou Army occupied seven counties in western Youzhou, while Wei Guan and Wang Qi have kept Liaodong and are temporarily at peace.

However, the loss of the seven counties in Liaoxi in Youzhou still made Sima Shi feel a deep pain. When Cao Liang was in charge of Bingzhou, no one thought it was thought that Bingzhou was just a remote and desolate place. Even if Cao Liang could toss, he would not have much climate.

But in just a few years, Cao Liang not only gained a firm foothold in Bingzhou, but also gradually showed his fangs and took away the two counties of Pingyang, Hedong from the Sima family. This time he swallowed up seven counties in Youzhou in one breath. His aggressive posture made Sima Shi restless. Now Cao Liang has become a big trend. If he is allowed to develop, it will have a great impact on the Sima family's great cause in the future.

Sima Shitou felt a little painful. When his father Sima Yi was in charge of the overall situation, he always handled affairs in an orderly manner. Now that he took over the stall himself, he found that he had made a mess.

The Eastern Wu in the south has always been calm, constantly provoking troubles and creating frictions in Huainan and Jingzhou. I heard that Sun Quan was seriously ill, so he probably had been in trouble for a while. Logically speaking, the Eastern Wu should have quit the war at this time and think about his successor carefully.

But perhaps Sun Quan was always worried about the Northern Expedition and was almost ill, and he still sent troops to provoke the battle, making it difficult for Huainan and Jingzhou to live in peace.

However, Jingzhou has the general Wang Chang, who is in charge of Zhennan, and Huainan, Zhuge Dan, who is in charge of the general Zhuge Dan, who is in charge of the Sima Shi, so there is no need to worry too much about the big deal of the Eastern Wu. It is estimated that the leading generals of the Eastern Wu are also doing superficial articles for Sun Quan to show them, knowing that Sun Quan is about to be out of reach and the new king succeeds the throne. If they can make military achievements, they may be able to win the position of minister of the regent. Therefore, Zhuge Ke, Sun Jun, and Ding Feng are all trying their best to achieve military achievements. However, they are extremely cautious when fighting, because if they lose at this time, they may be abandoned by Sun Quan, which will be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, although the war on the southern front seemed to be booming, it was actually a thunder and a little rain. All the generals of the Eastern Wu knew that this war was just to please Sun Quan and to find a good position for himself after he established a new king, so no one did his best.

Moreover, it seemed that the auxiliary team of the Eastern Wu had also been decided. When Sun Quan was seriously ill, he recalled Zhuge Ke, who was stationed in Wuchang, appointed him as the general, and also the chief tutor, and assisted the young prince Sun Liang.

The heroic ruler of the generation, Sun Quan, was already dying, which made Sima Shi a little relieved. After all, Sun Quan was also an extremely powerful figure. In the Three Kingdoms era, he reigned for the longest time, and had been in power for decades. Cao Wei went to war several times, but he could not do anything to him. Now Sun Quan is about to die, and there may be a chance to attack Wu in the future. Sima Shi is still looking forward to this.

Shu Kingdom is relatively more peaceful. Since Zhuge Liang's death, Shu Kingdom has stopped large-scale military operations. Jiang Wan and Fei Yi, who have been in charge, are both gentle and pragmatic figures. There are rare peace and peace on the border between Wei and Shu Kingdom.

The only disharmonious factor is probably Jiang Wei. After Jiang Wei, who was once an official of the Wei Kingdom, defected to Shu Kingdom, he became Zhuge Liang's most loyal hawk. Other generals of Shu Kingdom neglected to attack, but Jiang Wei sent troops to Longyou again and again, just like a candy, sticky and hurt him several times, but he was still unstoppable and repeatedly invaded the country.

However, Jiang Wei's dispatch of troops could not control the overall situation. Fei Yi, who was in charge, gave Jiang Wei a maximum of 10,000 people every time. With such a little force, even if Jiang Wei could do anything, he would be a clever woman who could not make a cook without rice. He could not make much noise. With a veteran like Guo Huai guarding Yongliang, Jiang Wei could not cause much storm.

Although there were constant wars on both sides of Shu and Wu, it was irrelevant. Sima Shi only needed to read the report and review it, so he didn't need to worry anymore. The generals who guarded the places would naturally handle it very well.

The only thing that made Sima Shi worried was Cao Liang from Bingzhou. This was his real concern. Cao Liang is now growing stronger and stronger. With the momentum of Bingzhou's great victory last year, he is now expanding everywhere, annexing Hedong and occupying Youzhou. With such a rapid development momentum, he is afraid that within a few years, he will really change his ownership in the world.

PS: Sorry, I have something to do at home these two days, so it may be a little late for updates, please forgive me.
