On this point, Sima Lun and Jiang Wei's interests are the same. The survival of Longxi is related to their future and destiny. There is no way out here. They must unite with sincerity, share weal and woe, and defend Longxi at all costs.

Chen Cang was in a hurry, which made Sima Lun and Jiang Wei suddenly become nervous. From a strategic perspective, Chen Cang was like a gate in Longxi. Once the gate was lost, the Wei army would not be able to enter a state of no one?

Therefore, Simalun attached great importance to Chen Cang. Before he entered Longxi, he had already arranged for Zhoutai to guard Chen Cang. Zhoutai was a strong general and Simalun's most trusted confidant general. Simalun was more at ease with him to guard Chen Cang.

Since the war with the Wei army, Zhou Tai's performance in Chen Cang has been excellent. He blocked the Wei army's at least 150,000 troops with only 30,000 troops. Chen Cangcheng has been safe and sound for more than 20 days in a row, which also made Sima Lun feel more and less at ease. At least in terms of personnel, he did choose the right choice.

But with Cao Liang's arrival, Sima Lun faintly realized something was wrong. Logically speaking, as an emperor and the emperor, Cao Liang no longer needed to do the war with him. The safety could be handed over to his generals. But this time he actually visited Chen Cang, which was indeed a bit unexpected.

Cao Liang must have his own excellence when he was able to take the position of Emperor Emperor from a small Yulin Lang, especially when he raised an army in the remote Bingzhou, he was able to defeat the more with few, defeat the strong with weak, and defeat the Sima family repeatedly and eventually achieve the throne. How can he do without some ability?

After Cao Liang arrived in Chen Cang, Sima Lun felt uneasy. Although Sima Lun had no idea what kind of means Cao Liang would have, Sima Lun still felt it was necessary to remind Zhou Tai, asking him to be careful and guard against Cao Liang's tricks.

But before Simalun's letter could be sent, an urgent report came from Chen Cang. The Wei army used fire attack methods, and Chen Cang's defenders suffered heavy losses and almost all the food and grass were burned out. Zhoutai asked Simalun to send reinforcements to Chen Cang, otherwise Chen Cang would have lost it.

There is no doubt that this fire attack plan was designed by Cao Liang. Otherwise, the Wei army would not have waited until Cao Liang arrived before adopting it? Therefore, this fire attack must have been designed by Cao Liang.

Sima Lun had a detailed understanding of the attack on Chen Cangcheng? Sima Lun is quite familiar with the situation of Chen Cangcheng. Although Chen Cangcheng is small, as a fortress city? Chen Cang is almost impeccable? This impeccable also includes fire attack. Since all the houses in Chen Cangcheng are made of brick cave structures, it is difficult to burn with fire? So Sima Lun is really strange? How did the fire burn on the Wei army?

After understanding, Sima Lun suddenly realized it? So that's it? Unexpectedly, the Wei army would use this method to make things happen out of nothing? Turning the impossible into a possibility and setting Chen Cang City on fire? Although Chen Cang City was not completely erased, at least it destroyed the food and grass of Chen Cang Guards, and also put Chen Cang Guards in a desperate situation.

The army was in chaos without food. Sima Lun could deeply understand the meaning of this sentence. At that time, he led his troops to retreat from Linjin Pass in a panic, escaped from the Wei army's encirclement and blockade, and finally fled to Longxi. When he was trapped in the army, he was short of soldiers and generals. If Guo Huai refused to surrender or even prepared to set fire to Chen Cang's food and grass, Sima Lun's 100,000 troops would be put into a desperate situation.

It was precisely because Guo Huai negotiated with Simalun based on the food and grass in Ji County that in the end the two sides reached a satisfactory result and each took the needs.

Sima Lun had to agree to Guo Huai's request. After all, Guo Huai's hand holds the food accumulated in Longxi over the years, and it would be no good for anyone to break the dead. Sima Lun was afraid of the mouse and could only let Guo Huai leave.

Now Chen Cang's defenders are in a state, just like when he first entered Longxi, and they encountered a crisis of food shortage. If it is not resolved, Chen Cang will undoubtedly suffer.

Sima Lun and Jiang Wei quickly reached a consensus that the Wei army must not easily occupy Chen Cang. Both sides will quickly organize a coalition force to rescue Chen Cang.

Although Simalun also believed that the risk of rescuing Chen Cang this time was extremely huge, he could not sit idly by and watch Chen Cang fall. Once Chen Cang falls, the Wei army can lead the army westward and head straight to Longxi.

Now that we are watching Chen Cang die, we are just delaying the battle. The Wei army will also have a decisive battle when they enter Longxi. Since we can't escape this disaster, Sima Lun simply bet on Chen Cang and advances the decisive battle to Chen Cang.

Therefore, for this time, Sima's army and Shu army will send all their main forces to fight to the death with the Wei army. They either protect Chen Cang or fight with the Wei army to die together.

This was not Sima Lun's rash action, but the result of his careful consideration. Sima Lun will join Jiang Wei to gather a 100,000 army to support Chen Cang, cooperate with Taili, the prefecture, and defeat the Wei army together.

Although Simalun knew that this move was not easy, he had no choice now. If he refused to save him, Zhou Tai would be over. Simalun really couldn't bear such a loyal and capable general.

Of course, this is just one aspect of consideration. Simalun finally decided to send troops out due to strategic considerations. When there is no way to retreat, the battle of Chen Cang will also determine whether Simalun can gain a foothold in Longxi. If he wins, he will live, and if he loses, he will die.

The military situation was like fire and there was no need to be too delayed. After Sima Lun and Jiang Wei reached the goal of advancing, the Sima Army and the Shu Army made separate preparations. After only a few days of preparation, the Sima Army met with the Shu Army, then advanced eastward, pointing directly to Chen Cang.

Although the Sima Army and the Shu Army were all the main forces, Sima Lun knew very well that it was not easy to defeat the Wei Army. After all, the Wei Army had six cavalry teams alone, especially the three camps of the Xiaoqi, Yueqi and Tunqi. They were the main forces of the Wei Army's three aces, with extremely powerful combat power. Now that these three aces are concentrated in Chen Cang, Sima Lun is undoubtedly deeply worried. It is just that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

However, Jiang Wei was full of confidence. After all, the Shu army had been fighting with the Wei army for a long time, so he had accumulated rich experience in dealing with cavalry in the face of enemy wars. Therefore, Jiang Wei was not afraid of the power of the Wei cavalry. On the contrary, he also encouraged Sima Lun to take up a twelve-point spirit.

The current situation is already an arrow on the string and has to be fired.
