After the execution, Hu ordered the people to untie the rope, helped Qin Yuan back to the barracks, and asked the medical craftsman in the army to apply gold sore medicine to him, this kind of skin and outer flesh is generally good faster, as long as you use good gold creation medicine, you can basically get better the next day, but the pain is inevitable.

Qin Yuan lay in the tent until midnight, the wound on his back was so hot and painful that he couldn't sleep, he could only crawl there, and after crawling for a long time, his chest couldn't breathe.

Qin Yuan couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went outside for a walk.

The patrolling Wei soldiers knew him, so they didn't interrogate, Qin Yuan left the camp, walked forward aimlessly, and unconsciously walked to the edge of the ghost stream, looking at the dark and bottomless abyss, Qin Yuan sighed softly.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to jump from here, and he couldn't save so much torture.

What's more, Sima Yi has already given an order, if he can't attack the ghost stream tomorrow, then he will have to cut off his head to ask for the guilt.

With the current combat strength of the Wei army, how difficult it is to take down the Ghost Sorrow Stream, Qin Yuan feels that there is little hope.

Then tomorrow will be a battle of life and death, Qin Yuan naturally does not want to die under Sima Yi's knife, because if he is beheaded by Sima Yi, then his family will be implicated, either for thousands of miles, or for slaves, in short, the end will be extremely tragic.

But if Qin Yuan died on the battlefield, the situation would be very different, not only would his family not be convicted, but they would also receive a generous amount of mercy, and Qin Yuan would also become a martyr from a criminal minister of the country.

In short, tonight will be Qin Yuan's last night in this world, and he secretly decided that if he couldn't take the ghost stream, then he would never retreat like today, and would rather die on the top of the mountain than take half a step back.

Qin Yuan smiled bitterly, although it was said that there were no eyes on the battlefield, and life and death were difficult to decide, but a person like him who had already fallen into the life and death of the king of Hades was really a big joke.

At this time, a sneer suddenly came from behind him, and someone said: "General Qin feels sorry for himself here, isn't he resentful of the punishment of the capital?" ”

Qin Yuan was shocked, and when he looked back, under the bright moonlight, he could see it very clearly, the person who came was tall and jade, and his demeanor was outstanding, it was Sima Yi's son who was currently Sima Shi of Pingnan joining the army.

Qin Yuan hurriedly bowed his hand and bowed his head and said: "The last general is not in a good battle, it is harmful to the military prestige, it is already a capital crime, fortunately, the governor of the capital is magnanimous, and only a little punishment is given. ”

Sima Shi smiled slightly: "Then what will General Qin do tomorrow?" ”

Qin Yuan said impassionedly: "At the end of tomorrow, I will die with my life, and if I don't take down the ghost stream, I will not give up." ”

Sima Shi sneered and said, "General Qin doesn't need to show any determination, make any poisonous oaths, and there are no outsiders here, in all fairness, do you think you can attack the ghost stream tomorrow?" ”

Qin Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Since the young general said so, the last general will not give a real answer, with the current situation of our army, if you want to take the ghost sorrow stream, try to climb to the sky, but the last general has reported the determination to die, rather than the jade broken, not the tile, if you can't take the ghost sorrowful stream, the last general would rather die than never take half a step back!" ”

Sima Shi said leisurely: "General Qin's spirit is commendable, but he is extremely stupid, if you die on the battlefield, it will not be a waste of the great governor's hard work." ”

Qin Yuan was stunned, the hard work of the metropolitan governor? For a while, he still didn't understand, and he was confused.

Sima Shi knew that Qin Yuan was the kind of reckless man with developed limbs and a simple mind, maybe he could perform very well on the battlefield and not be afraid of death, but if it was about strategy or something, he was too bad.

Sima Shi smiled slightly: "Ghost Sorrow Stream, our army has been attacking continuously for half a month, and there are countless defeats, if it is like today, if you come back from a defeat and kill a general, I am afraid that our army will have no one available now, doesn't General Qin want to think about it, why does the Metropolitan Governor open his eyes to other generals who have suffered defeats, but only General Qin has to be severely punished?" ”

Qin Yuan was stunned, yes, these days, he Qin Yuan is not the only one who has suffered defeat, the generals of each battalion have not lost a battle, but they are all like no one, at most they were reprimanded by Sima Yi a few words, but he was the only one, Sima Yi was much more severe, he came back from defeat, he wanted to fight and kill, the same record and two treatments, how not to make Qin Yuan depressed.

"Major General, is it ...... the Metropolitan Governor?"

Sima Shi smiled knowingly and said: "The ghost sorrow stream is easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army has been fighting for half a month, and there has been no progress, so the ghost sorrow stream cannot be attacked, it can only be outwitted, and only by diverting the tiger from the mountain can we take advantage of it." ”

"How can I turn the tiger away from the mountain?" Qin Yuan asked subconsciously.

Sima Shi smiled indifferently and said: "This matter is difficult to say, it is easy to say, as long as you set a bait, it is enough to make Zhuge Ke's heart move, and you can let him leave the ghost stream." At present, the bait is ready-made, and Cao Liangcao, who escorted grain and grass, joined the army, which is exactly the enemy who killed his father that Zhuge Ke wanted to get rid of, and destroying the grain route of our army is also Zhuge Ke's greatest wish, so it is impossible for Zhuge Ke to be indifferent to public and private. ”

Qin Yuan is even more confused, whether you set up a bait or transfer the tiger away from the mountain, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, why bother to receive fifty whips for nothing, and that's not a joke, it's a real beating, the whip sees blood, the skin is open, what kind of song do you sing?

Sima Shi saw that Qin Yuan's eyes widened and he didn't know what to do, so he said carefully: "Now that the bait is there, there is only one person who can trust Zhuge Ke to deliver the letter and reveal this news to Zhuge Ke." To make him believe in this bait, he must choose a reliable person, use a bitter meat trick, and then pretend to defect to the Wu people, and hand over the route of the march of the southern army to Zhuge Ke. ”

This time, Qin Yuan finally understood that he was beaten by Sima Yi and had a task in his body, to infiltrate the Wu army and pass on an important news to Zhuge Ke.

This is really no different from Huang Gai's bitter meat plan, during the Battle of Chibi that year, it was Huang Gai who was beaten by Zhou Yu and pretended to surrender to Cao Cao, so that Chibi was burned.

The difference is that Huang Gai was hit by his own strategy, as the so-called Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to beat, the other was willing to suffer, and he was beaten by these fifty whips, but without knowing it, it was really bitter!
