Zhuge Liang used various methods to lure the Wei army into a decisive battle, while Sima Yi only used one move: Turtle Shrinking Technique.
His turtle-like tactics might not be useful against other people, but against the Han army, it hit their weak spot.
Among the Three Kingdoms, Shu Han had the smallest territory and population. Zhuge Liang also knew the dangers of staying in a corner.
If they stayed in one place for a long time, they would definitely die slowly. No matter what, the Land of Abundance could not defeat the army of the Central Plains.
As the saying goes, the king's career is not peaceful. Zhuge Liang had been worrying about the Northern Expedition for years because he wanted to seek a decisive battle.
Moreover, there was no successor in Shu Han. The only young general who could be used was Jiang Wei, and Liu Chan was a good-for-nothing who knew nothing.
If the Northern Expedition was not completed in their generation, they would never have another chance.
Sima Yi could rely on the Central Plains to provide him with an endless supply of rations and troops to fight Shu Han.
Zhuge Liang did not have the confidence to do so. Moreover, the Northern Expedition was going against the will of the heavens.
He knew this very well, so no matter how calm he was, he had to worry about this matter.
Although Sima Yi could not compare to Zhuge Liang in terms of strategy and strategy, he was still a wily old fox. He chose to continue dragging things out.
He waited for fatigue and naturally lived a long life.
And Zhuge Liang was mentally and physically exhausted for the Northern Expedition, and his health was getting worse…
Faced with the Wei army's cowardly tactics, Zhuge Liang could only look for other ways to continue fighting the Wei army.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang thought of a way to anger Sima Yi.
He sent an envoy to visit the Cao army and gave Sima Yi a set of bright female clothing.
There had always been rumors in the Wei army that Sima Yi was afraid of the Shu Han like a tiger. It was expected that Sima Yi would be provoked this time.
Sima Yi did not get angry, but took out this female outfit for the soldiers to see.
The soldiers were so angry that their blood vessels were about to burst. They were even more furious that their general had been humiliated like this.
They didn't understand how the Wei army was weaker than the Shu Han army.!
In terms of military strength, Shu Han could not compare to them, and Wei had an even more endless supply of grain and baggage.
Many of the generals of Shu Han were already very old. How could they compare to Cao Wei?
Moreover, their Cao Wei was fighting on their own territory. In the face of other people's attacks, they actually cowered like turtles?!
Sima Yi smiled calmly.
He even put on this female outfit in front of the messenger and asked the messenger if it fit.
From then on, Zhuge Liang had to admire Sima Yi's patience.
Faced with Sima Yi's delay, the Shu Han soldiers became more and more restless.
They were really afraid that Sima Yi would exhaust them to the point where they had no choice but to retreat.
After they retreated, could Shu Han organize another Northern Expedition?
……
"Sigh, can it be that I, the Great Han, really can't outlast Cao Wei?”
Seeing this, Liu Bei's eyes were filled with indignation and grief.
He clenched his fists tightly, feeling pity for Kong Ming and the big man.。
Kong Ming had unparalleled talent, but he was dragged down by him!!
If Hanzhong and Jingzhou were still around, he wouldn't have to worry about a war of attrition.
It was because of the shortage of rations and supplies.
As a result, Zhuge Liang could not continue to fight in depth every time he went north.
It was not easy to obtain some results, but he could not expand the results.
Due to the lack of logistics, they had no choice but to return to the capital and resupply before heading north.
If they had enough troops and rations, they would definitely be able to recover the old capital in one go!!
Unable to fight a protracted war, it had become Shu Han's Achilles 'heel!!
Even if Zhuge Liang could call the wind and summon the rain, he had no choice but to temporarily retreat when faced with a shortage of food.
Sima Yi's defensive tactics had turned the Shu Han Northern Expedition into a dead end!!
This was the greatest tragedy…
No matter how hard you work, no matter how diligent you are, even if you are a roll king.。
While others had the vast heaven's will, if the heaven's will was like this, no one could resist it.
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang, his eyes filled with hope. It was his utmost trust in the military.
If there was still a glimmer of hope for the Northern Expedition and a glimmer of hope for Shu Han…
The only chance was with Zhuge Liang!!
A key figure who could change the outcome of the battle.
"Military affairs, Sima Yi was willing to be humiliated in order to avoid battle. He can endure what ordinary people can't.”
Liu Bei asked.
As long as they fought, Zhuge Liang would have a way to defeat them.
The key was that the other party had avoided the battle, leaving Zhuge Liang with no way to execute his plans.
"My lord, luring Sima Yi out isn't a difficult task.”
"However, this time, Liang must guarantee that he will kill him in one strike.”
"Otherwise, we really won't have a chance to lure him out again.”
Zhuge Liang could tell that although Sima Yi was scared out of his wits, he did not dare to fight the Shu Han army.
However, Sima Yi was still hoping that he would be lucky. He knew that the Shu army was short of food and that Zhuge Liang was weak.
Thus, he wanted to wait for the Shu army to be weak and defenseless, then prepare to launch a counterattack.
He wanted to prove his ability.
After seeing through Sima Yi's thoughts, Zhuge Liang was confident that he could lure him out again.
But he only had one chance!
As long as Sima Yi lost again, he would be completely convinced.
Even if there was a great opportunity, he would not make a move again.
Even if Zhuge Liang were to personally come to his death, he would not dare to accept it.
"Then what is the military counselor in the video waiting for? Could it be that he couldn't kill him in one strike?”
Liu Bei continued to ask.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's confident look, he slowly regained some of his confidence.
"That's right, Liang must find a place that can trap Sima Yi to death!!”
As Zhuge Liang spoke, he turned to the video and looked at the terrain inside.
The corners of his mouth curled up as he held his breath and focused. His gaze was like a nail that was embedded there.
Liu Guanzhang and Zhao Yun also followed the military counselor's gaze and looked at a terrain in the video.
"Advisor Jun, are we going to kill Sima Yi here?!”
