Before the troops move, intelligence comes first, know your knowledge and your opponent, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

No matter when fighting any war, Cao Liang attached great importance to intelligence work. Without obtaining first-hand intelligence information, he would never make a rash move. If the enemy situation is unknown, he would blindly launch an attack, which would be a joke on the lives of the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, which is a manifestation of extreme irresponsibility.

At this moment, all Sima's army retreated to Guanzhong and integrated all the three most elite central troops, the Yongliang Army and the Huainan Army. It should be said that the Sima army is at its most powerful moment. Although they lost most of the prefectures and counties in the world, they had the opportunity to unite the three armies. Now, with the natural danger of Guanzhong, it was not easy for Cao Liang to defeat such an army.

The most powerful armed forces of the Sima Army are naturally the Central Army. The military forces of counties and states in other places are completely unable to compare with the Central Army, but there are two exceptions among the foreign army, namely the Yongliang Army and the Huainan Army.

In order to prevent the invasion of Shu and Wu, Wei stationed heavy troops on the border. It was precisely because of the long-term baptism of war that the Yongliang Army and the Huainan Army became two powerful brigades. Their combat effectiveness was no less than that of the central army, and they were slightly better in combat experience.

In the past, because they wanted to guard Yongliang and Huainan, these two ace troops had no chance to participate in the war with the Bingzhou Army. Most of the time, the Sima Division led the central army and the soldiers of the counties and states from all over the country to fight. Of course, the result was not ideal. They lost the city and the land, and were defeated repeatedly. Not only did they lose most of the prefectures and counties in Guandong, but they were also forced to give up the capital Luoyang.

But after abandoning Luoyang, the Sima Army's defense line shrank to the Guanlong area. The first time he had the opportunity to gather the three main forces together, so that the Sima Army could clench his fists and have a final desperate battle with the Bingzhou Army.

Although Sima Lun was young and young, his overall strategic view was unattainable. He moved the capital to Chang'an and retreated to Guanzhong. Although the Sima army suffered heavy losses on the surface, it was a skillful move to retreat as an advance. They brought nearly one million troops and civilians to Guanzhong and filled the population gap in Guanlong. Although it was still difficult to rely on the civilians in Yongliang to support Sima Army's 270,000 to 80,000 people, a large number of people who moved from Luoyang could still solve some problems. Moreover, the Sima army could continue to implement the military farming system that had been implemented in the Yongliang area for many years to ensure the supply of military rations and lay a good foundation for long-term persistence in Guanzhong.

Therefore, no matter which aspect, the class Sima Lun took over from Sima Shi has a positive side.

In fact, since Sima Lun urged Sima Shi to give up Luoyang and retreat to Guanzhong, he must have relatively long-term strategic considerations and comprehensive strategic planning. It is definitely not Sima Lun's whim.

If he was not sure of sticking to Guanzhong, then giving up Luoyang would be a joke. Therefore, in Simalun's plan, the land of Guanlong must be protected, and Simalun had a mature and comprehensive plan for this.

After careful consideration and consideration of the plan proposed by Sima Lun, Sima Lun finally adopted the strategy of moving the capital. As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, Sima Lun couldn't wait to hand over the position of the general to Sima Lun, and he could not control all the troops. This was obviously due to Sima Lun's complete trust in Sima Lun, which made him hand over all his power with confidence.

Sima Lun took over the power of military power, so he naturally knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders was. He would be the one who revived the Sima family. Although it was difficult, Sima Lun had no choice but to take on this heavy responsibility. Although he was still young now, he had to take on this heavy responsibility.

Simalun was the heir designated by Sima Yi. Since he was a child, he was instilled with the idea of ​​inheriting the throne. The education he received was always ready to take over Sima Shi's class. Although this time came earlier, Simalun still accepted it calmly and would not miss what should come. Even now, Simalun was at the forefront of the storm, so he accepted this fateful arrangement.

Although Guanzhong is known as a four-bridge area, with dangerous passes in front, behind, and on the left and right, Sima Lun knew very well that if the defense was not in place, even the most steep pass would be given away. Therefore, systematically arranging and deploying Guanzhong's defense system was his top priority after taking office.

Obviously Simalun had thought about it carefully in this regard, so after Simashi announced to the ministers that Simalun took over the power, Simalun immediately showed a kingly demeanor and announced three appointments.

These three appointments are first related to the defense system on the Eastern Front, and are naturally the top priority.

The key points of defense on the eastern front are nothing more than three places: Tongguan, Wuguan and Pubanjin, two land passes and one water fortress. Whether the defense of these three key passes determines success or failure. No matter what the loss is, it will lead to the collapse of the Guanzhong defense system. Therefore, Simalun must not allow any mistakes. Even if it is an ant hole problem, it can lead to catastrophic consequences.

In fact, the most difficult thing to defend at these three passes is Pubanjin. Although Pubanjin has a barrier like the Yellow River natural danger, the Sima army, who has experienced the failure of the White Horse Ferry, is very clear that in the face of the powerful attack power of the Bingzhou army, all river defense fortifications are useless. As long as the Bingzhou army continues to use the crossbow flying stone ship, it will be difficult for the Sima army to defend the Yellow River defense line.

Once Pubanjin is lost, the Bingzhou army can cross the river from the east to enter Guanzhong. The vast Guanzhong Plain is no longer dangerous to defend.

Compared with Pubanjin, the defense of Tongguan and Wuguan is much less difficult. After all, the Sima army can rely on the steep pass to defend. The dangerous pass that once scared the allied forces of the six countries, Sima Lun did not believe that Cao Liang had a way to easily complete the breakthrough.

Therefore, Sima Lun arranged for Hu Fen to guard Tongguan and Zhoutai to guard Wuguan. With their abilities, they were completely confident in defending these two strategic areas.

The only thing Sima Lun is worried about now is Pubanjin. In fact, if the Bingzhou army really wants to cross the river from here, Sima Lun has no special good way to block it. After thinking about it, he can only assign resourceful Zhong Hui to guard Pubanjin, and at least equipped Zhong Hui with 100,000 troops, just to prepare to confront the Bingzhou army head-on in Pubanjin and fight to the death.
