However, Zhuge Ke waited for a long time, and did not wait for the reinforcements of Quan Cong and Buqi, it turned out that Sima Yi had already secretly sent Hu Zun and Niu Jin to lead a group of men and horses to block the Wu army halfway.

Quan Cong led the army from Tianzhu Mountain to the east, Bu Qi led the army from the trailer to the west, according to Zhuge Ke's original plan, the three roads of men and horses will meet in Shuangyu Gorge to encircle and annihilate the Wei army.

But Quan Cong had not yet arrived at Pisces Gorge, and was ambushed by Wei general Hu Zun halfway through. Hu Zun led his troops to defend against danger, sealing the path of the Wu army's advance to death, and no matter what kind of attack the Wu army launched, it could not break through the Wei army's defense line.

Similarly, in the east of the Pisces Gorge, Niu Jin also led the army to block the Bu Qi Department from the trailer, Bu Qi personally went into battle, commanded the Wu army to attack with all his strength, and tore apart the Wei army's defense line, but Niu Jin did not give him any chance at all, and continuously repelled the Wu army's many attacks.

Zhuge Ke fought fiercely in Pisces Gorge for several hours, waiting for a long time, and he couldn't wait for the reinforcements of Quan Cong and Buqi, presumably they were also blocked by the Wei army, it seems that these two people can't be counted on.

The offensive of the Wei army was quite fierce, and the Wu army gradually became overwhelmed and difficult to resist, so Tang Zhi and Liuzan both persuaded Zhuge Ke to withdraw his troops.

Zhuge Ke had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.

However, the men and horses on both sides are entangled at the moment, and it is not easy to withdraw the troops.

Zhuge Ke looked back at Pisces Gorge, his expression was gloomy, originally he had high hopes for this battle, and the repeated defeats have put Zhuge Ke under a lot of pressure, presumably those old ministers who were dissatisfied with him in the court were already slandering Sun Quanjin, and he now desperately needed a victory to restore his reputation and status.

If he fails again, I am afraid that even Sun Quan will have a crisis of confidence in him, and Zhuge Ke's dream of reaching the top of the political arena of Wu with this battle will be shattered.

Therefore, this battle is very important for Zhuge Ke, if he fights well, he will gain fame and fortune, if he fights badly, he will be ruined, even if he can barely keep his current position, but if he wants to go further, he will encounter many resistances.

After all, this is an era in which heroes are judged by success or failure, without outstanding achievements and meritorious deeds, how can he gain a foothold in the court.

Zhuge Ke also knows that Sun Quan has high hopes for him, those Jiangdong celebrities in the court, all of them are more than successful and not enterprising, they would rather stick to this acre and three points of land in Jiangdong, rather than the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Sun Quan has made several Northern Expeditions, every critical time, these old ministers will stand up and drag him back, Sun Quan is annoyed to death.

But Sun Quan can't do anything with these Jiangdong clans, after all, these people are the foundation of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and without the support of these Jiangdong clans, Sun Quan's throne may not be able to sit firmly.

Sun Quan urgently needs a brilliant victory to shock these dovish bigwigs in Jiangdong, so he entrusts Zhuge Ke, an enterprising hawk, with a heavy responsibility, and he hopes that Zhuge Ke can bring him an unexpected surprise this time and replicate the glory of the Battle of Shiting that year.

It's a pity that Zhuge Ke, who is eager for quick success, can be the opponent of the scheming Sima Yi, this time Sima Yi used Sima Shi's fraud to lead the snake out of the hole, and ruthlessly pit Zhuge Ke.

In addition to the loss of the army, Zhuge Ke's heart is wow cool and cool, he knows that the defeat in this battle, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn over, and the only hope now is to be able to hold the ghost stream and strive for a draw.

Thinking of the Ghost Sorrow Stream, Zhuge Ke was suddenly shocked, thinking that since the veteran and ruthless Sima Yi could ambush the Wu army in Pisces Gorge, how could he not do something to the Ghost Sorrow Stream?

This time, Zhuge Ke attacked, almost took away most of the strength of the Wu army, leaving only 3,000 men and horses to guard the Ghost Sorrow Stream, such a weak force, even if the Ghost Sorrow Stream is dangerous, it will be difficult to hold it.

Zhuge Ke was worried, worried that something would happen to the Ghost Sorrow Stream, so he ordered the Wu army to advance at full speed and rush to the Ghost Sorrow Stream.

It was already dark, but Zhuge Ke did not let the Wu army set up camp and settle down, but simply ate dry food, marched overnight, and rushed back to the ghost stream as soon as possible.

On this road, there are all lofty mountains and mountains, even in the daytime, it is extremely difficult to walk, and at night, the difficulty is increased exponentially, even if it is illuminated by torches, many Wu soldiers due to carelessness in their feet, stumbling and falling off the cliff abound.

The terrible scream when he fell into the abyss made people shudder and shudder.

What made Zhuge Ke even more anxious was that the pursuers of the Wei army were accompanied by shadows, and they had been chasing after each other, even if the Wu army repeatedly accelerated the speed of its march, it would never be able to get rid of the pursuit of the Wei army.

This is not good news for the Wu army, the Wu army has been very tired after a hard battle in the Beas Gorge, coupled with the overnight rush, can not stop for a moment, the Wu army's physical strength and energy are extremely tired, there is no strength to fight again, once caught up by the Wei army, the consequences may be unimaginable.

Zhuge Ke was always vigilant against the pursuers behind, so he also deliberately sent Liuzan to lead an elite army to break the rear, which was a reserve that he had not used before, and it was the only team that still had the strength to fight.

But the number of this army is not large, only more than 1,000 people, whether they can withstand the attack of the Wei army, Zhuge Ke has no bottom at all, the only way to do it now is to rush back to the ghost stream as soon as possible, and there is a place to defend.

Compared to the dawn of the day, there were only seven or eight miles away from the Ghost Sorrow Stream, and Zhuge Ke was a little more relieved, as long as he crossed the mountain beam in front of him, he could see the dangerous mountain road of the Ghost Sorrow Stream.

Zhuge Ke looked behind him, after this night's rush, it seems that the pursuers of the Wei army have fallen behind, and the distance from the Wu army is a little farther, it seems that last night's forced march still played some role, the Wei army was not able to keep up with the rhythm of the Wu army, and was thrown away a lot by the Wu army.

Zhuge Ke let out a long breath, it seems that his insistence last night was still correct, leaving the Wei army's pursuers behind, they are all safe, as long as they return to the camp of the ghost stream, Zhuge Ke will have nothing to fear.

Just when Zhuge Ke ordered the Wu army to continue to move forward, suddenly a team appeared in front, and in the faint morning mist, only a faint figure was seen, unable to distinguish between the enemy and me, and all the soldiers of the Wu army were shocked.
