Chapter 746 Whose Child Is in Her Womb?
ps: Chapter Anti-theft, correct it later...
Several ships sank, which also caused some soldiers to be buried at the bottom of the river, but this did not shake Sima Yi's determination to cross the river. In his opinion, such a small cost of casualties and the morale of the entire team were not comparable.
With a war approaching, it is the most important thing to boost the morale of the army.
If even a surging Yellow River cannot be defeated, how can this army take on the great responsibility?
Sima Yi personally boarded the ferry and crossed the Yellow River in the stormy waves.
The old general can be brave and fearless, but how can the entire army shrink? Therefore, when crossing the river, the originally daunting Yellow River has now become a rush to cross, and the momentum of the entire team seems to be higher than the water of the Yellow River.
Sima Yi wanted this effect. He led the army for many years and still had his own way to inspire morale. In fact, the method to inspire morale is also very simple, that is, to lead by example and dare to be the first. When a general stands up without fear of hardships, it is more effective than any inspiring verbal motivation.
The composition of this army is relatively complex. It includes the direct troops of the Sima family, the central army just joined, and the army temporarily transferred from the surrounding prefectures and counties. How to make such a hodgepodge-like army form efficient combat effectiveness is a difficult problem that Sima Yi must face.
There was no time to integrate or practice. After a short gathering, he hurriedly embarked on the journey, but Sima Yi was confident. His years of leadership experience made him calm. Sima Yi had his own unique methods in encouraging the morale of the army and enhancing morale to improve combat effectiveness.
During this expedition, Sima Yi brought Sima Shi with him and kept Sima Zhao in the capital to guard the capital. After all, staying in Luoyang is also an extremely important task, and Sima Yi must make arrangements.
Although Sima Zhao, who lacks experience, is not the best candidate, Sima Yi is now helpless. Among the children of his direct descendants, Sima Zhao is probably the only one who can use it.
This made Sima Yi particularly miss his newly deceased third brother Sima Fu. If he was still alive, the important task of staying in Luoyang would only be given to him. Sima Yi didn't have to worry about the rear.
Now that Sima Zhao is the one who stays in Luoyang, Sima Yi will inevitably be a little worried. However, he arranged for Situ Gaorou and Guanglu Dafu Wang Su to assist Sima Zhao. One of these two people is a close friend that Sima Yi can trust, and the other is Sima Zhao's father-in-law. With them to assist, I believe that Sima Zhao can stabilize the overall situation in Luoyang.
After crossing the Yellow River, Sima Yi joined forces with the army originally stationed in Hanoi. He came to Wen County and saw the almost empty city, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Sima Yi was born in Wen County and was in Wen County. When he was young, he pretended to be sick in order to refuse Cao Cao's enlistment. He lay in his hometown in Wen County for seven years. It can be said that Wen County carries his most beautiful memories.
Now, Cao Liang forced the people to Bingzhou in Hanoi, causing Wen County to almost become an empty city, with houses broken and broken walls, leaving only scorched earth. It can be seen how cruel Cao Liang's methods were. It is obvious that it has become Sima Yi's responsibility to move the Sima family and the people in Hanoi back.
Sima Yi planned to attack Shangdang in three ways. Hu Zun and Wang Jing led 30,000 troops into Hedong County, from Anyi to the east, cross Wangwu Mountain, and directly took Yanga. Chen Tai and Hu Fen led 20,000 troops from Jizhou, went through Yangchanban, and directly went to Huguan.
In the middle, Sima Yi personally led a large army of 100,000, and went north through Shimen Pass to take Gaodu.
Among the three troops, there is no doubt that Sima Yi's central army was the main force in the northern expedition to Bingzhou, while the east and west teams played more of a role in tying.
The three armies attacked Shangdang from three directions at the same time, and attacked in groups in a split attack was the most reasonable offensive strategy made by Sima Yi based on the deployment conditions of the Bingzhou Army and the terrain. Sima Yi believed that although the Bingzhou Army had been operating the Shangdang defense line for many years, under the siege of the three armies, they would definitely be able to easily destroy the Bingzhou Army's defense line and attack Jinyang directly.
What Sima Yi needed was a quick battle and a quick decision. The reason why he mobilized 150,000 troops at one time was to try to solve the Bingzhou problem in the shortest time. This could not only solve the problems of Bingzhou, but also shock other separatist forces, so that they would not dare to act rashly.
If the war is delayed for a long time, the situation will become extremely unfavorable, let alone return in a defeat.
This is destined to be a battle where you can only win but not lose, and you can't even have a chance to draw. Sima Yi has fought for so many years, and this time he really feels the pressure.

Cao Liang was also under mountain pressure. When Sima Yi personally led a 150,000 army to attack, the entire Shangdang was in an uproar.
The Shangdang defense line deployed by Cao Liang is not a big problem to resist the attack of less than 100,000 troops, but if it exceeds 100,000 troops, the pressure on the entire defense line can naturally be imagined.
Sima Yi was so overwhelmed by such heavy troops. Obviously, he was determined to win Bingzhou. Cao Liang had no choice but to retreat this time and had to rise up and fight. Although the strength of the enemy and us was quite different, Cao Liang was also confident to fight this battle.
Cao Liang's greatest reliance is the right time, place, and people. These three elements are all under the control of the Bingzhou Army. Even if Sima Yi comes in a fierce manner, Cao Liang may not be afraid of him.
Although Cao Liang left Bingzhou for more than a year, Bingzhou's defense has never been relaxed. Under the leadership of Deng Ai Shibao and Yang Hu, the entire Shangdang defense system can be said to be as solid as a rock.
This battle will be a time to truly test the Shangdang defense line, and this battle will surely change the world's pattern.
Huan Fan returned from Yanzhou and completed the task of persuading Linghu Yu very well. However, Cao Liang knew that Wang Ling, the old fox, would never act rashly before getting benefits, so the battle in Bingzhou would also be crucial. Only by defeating or severely attacking Sima Yi would Wang Ling take action.
As long as the north and south are in charge of affairs at the same time, I believe Sima Yi will be in a panic and cannot accept it.
The war is imminent, and Cao Liang is worried about his mother, wife and children, so he decided to move them to Jinyang. Jinyang will stay away from the front line and will be safe for the time being. Only when Shangdang loses, will Jinyang endanger Jinyang.
