Chapter 918
Sima Yi's eyes became a little sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "It was because of our light troops advancing that we were defeated. Cao Liang's use of troops has always been deceitful. Who knows if he still has ambush when he withdraws his troops? If he pursues this time, wouldn't he be able to get wise? Zhao'er, only by learning from his mistakes can he gain wisdom. The army of the past, isn't the lesson of the Lingshi Pass still painful?"
Faced with Sima Yi's reprimand, Sima Zhao's face turned red and said verbally: "What my father taught me is that the child has been taught."
Sima Shi was a little embarrassed when he saw the scene and hurriedly said, "Father, my second brother is also anxious to avenge General Sun, so he came up with this bad strategy. I hope my father will not be surprised."
Sima Yi snorted softly and said, "How can we act in a war? Revenge is important, but we should not be blinded by hatred and attack hastily and fail again. It doesn't matter if we lose this battle. We have some troops, so it's not too late to revive the battle."
Sima Yi has a firm attitude and a firm tone, and he has not gotten angry because of the disastrous defeat at Lingshi Pass. After years of fighting on the battlefield, Sima Yi has long developed the habit of being calm in favor of the enemy and disgrace. He can stay calm whether he wins or loses.
Because whether it is a victory or a defeat, the battle will end after the battle is over. The next battle will be a new beginning. It is actually meaningless to be entangled in past achievements, and it will only become a kind of restraint.
What Sima Yi has to do now is to devote himself to the next battle. His emotions and thoughts will not be affected by the previous battle. This is the quality of a truly leading general.
Sima Yi was naturally very dissatisfied with Sima Zhao's request. He fell from there and got up from there. Failure was not terrible. If he just repeated the same mistakes, he would only become a mediocre general.
This failure really required Sima Yi to be responsible. Although the Pioneer Battalion was led by Sun Li, the entire offensive strategy was formulated by Sima Yi, and Sun Lisai was implemented completely according to the established plan. Sima's army's defeat was caused by light troops. The root cause was that Sima Yi believed that the Bingzhou army had fallen into his plan to attack the east and the west to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he mistakenly thought that the Bingzhou army would not have too much power to guard the Jiexiu side.
Lesson, this was a bloody lesson. Facts proved that Cao Liang not only did not fall into the trap, but instead used the plan and set up an ambush at the Lingshi Pass in advance, which severely damaged the Pioneer Camp.
Such a painful lesson is enough for Sima Yi. If troops were sent to pursue him again, who would know if Cao Liang would have a backup plan? Therefore, to advance again, Sima Yi must make a detailed plan and must not give Cao Liang any opportunity to take advantage of it.
The loss of more than 20,000 people was just a damage to Sima Yi, but even if Sun Li was lost, no one could get it back.
Sima Yi ordered the army to be temporarily stationed at Lingshi Pass. This time he led reinforcements and led cavalry, but attacking Jiexiu alone could not be carried out. The remnants of the Pioneer Battalion were only three or four thousand people, which was not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of siege.
Therefore, Sima Yi's first step was to adjust the army and transfer Hedong prefect Chen Qian to be the vanguard officer. At the same time, the number of people in the vanguard camp was increased to 50,000. Sima Shi was still the deputy vanguard, while Sima Zhao was withdrawn by Sima Yi to supervise the transportation of food and grass.
Sima Zhao was very dissatisfied with this failure. In fact, he had the least responsibility for this failure, but Sima Shi was able to continue to remain in office, but he was demoted by Sima Yi, which made Sima Zhao, who was eager to take revenge, feel very unbalanced.
However, Sima Zhao did not dare to disobey Sima Yi's orders, and could only secretly whisper.
Sima Yi had his own considerations when he was dispatched in this way. Sima Zhao had little experience in the battle, was prone to impulsiveness, and lacked the experience of a big battle. He temporarily transferred him to the logistics department to be responsible for the supervision of food transportation, and wanted him to be calm.
However, Sima Shi showed calmness and generosity in this battle, but Sima Yi was deeply appreciated, and it was reasonable to continue to serve as the deputy vanguard.
While dispatching the army, Sima Yi sent a large number of scouts to go deep into the enemy territory to reconnaise the situation of the Bingzhou army, and then formulate a new offensive plan.

"Fight beautifully!" Cao Liang held the latest report and said with a smile.
In the battle of Lingshi, Yang Hu's performance can be described as perfect. The 30,000 ambushed Sima's army with 10,000 people could actually defeat 26,000. Such a record is so brilliant, even if he was a famous general in ancient times, it is not the case.
What is even more rare is that Yang Hu shot and killed Sun Li, the leader of Sima Army, in this battle. You must know that it is very difficult to kill a famous general one on the battlefield. Yang Hu's battle is like Huang Zhong killing Xiahou Yuan in Dingjun Mountain, and he will surely be famous all over the world.
The historical status of the famous general Yang Hu was there, but he did not participate in the battle to destroy Wu. He was inferior to Du Yu Wang Jun. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, so it is Yang Hu.
Now following Cao Liang, Yang Hu, who was originally the mainstay after middle age, was able to kill all directions on the battlefield when he was thirty years old. This time, he became famous all over the world with Sun Li's head and became a famous general. It is indeed commendable.
In this battle of Lingshi, the power of the Bingzhou army was achieved with fewer defeats, which was equivalent to giving the Bingzhou army a shot of a heart-warming agent. Although the Sima army is large in number, if the Bingzhou team works together, why worry about the enemy's strength being strong?
At this time, Cao Liang had arrived in Qi County from Jinyang, not too far from Jiexiu front line. Now Cao Liang is playing a big chess game. The battle of spirit stones is just an appetizer before the meal. The real finale is still to be placed behind.
Yang Hu retreated very decisively on the spirit stone. As soon as he received the news of Sima's reinforcements, he immediately took the initiative to retreat on the whole line, not giving Sima's army any chance to counterattack. Moreover, when the troops were withdrawing, the time was right, and it was foggy. Even if the Sima's army had cavalry to pursue it, it was blocked by the heavy fog and the speed of the army was greatly affected, so Yang Hu retreated calmly.
Until he withdrew to Jiexiu, Sima Yi's pursuers did not catch up. It seemed that Sima Yi also gave up this opportunity to pursue him in order to avoid repeating the same mistake.
After Yang Hu retreated to Jiexiu, he reorganized his army and prepared for war, comprehensively strengthened Jiexiu's defense, and prepared to welcome the invading enemy.
The battle between Jiexiu was like an arrow on the string, and it was triggered as soon as it hit.
