On the south bank of the Fen River, a cavalry of about 1,000 people had just crossed the river and was slowly marching southward.

The troops marched to the high ground on the riverbank, and a burly general, Lerma, ascended to the high ground to watch, and at this time the scout cavalry galloped in.

This person is the eldest son of Sima Yi, the famous Sima Yi of the Later Three Kingdoms, the general of the Great Wei Wei, and the Changxiang Hou Sima Shi, that is, he completely destroyed the Han Dynasty (Shu Han).

"Report! General, it has been ascertained that the southern force calls itself Han. And the army that attacked South Korea this time was under the banner of Qin. ”

Although Sima Shi's unshaven beard seems to be very vulgar, he is actually quite literate, so he shook his head and said as soon as he heard it:

"Huh? South Korea's Qin State? Where did all this come from? As far as I know, since the defeat of Emperor Guangwu of the former dynasty, few people have taken Qin Han as their country name. ”

At this time, a man dressed as a civil official leaned over on horseback and interjected: "Indeed, Korea is always weak, and the Qin Dynasty has a short life, which is not very lucky." ”

Sima Shi nodded in agreement, and then asked the person who came: "Zhong Rong (Shi Bao's character), who are they according to what you see?" ”

"General Wei, don't worry, the lower official just saw that the scout also brought a flag?" As soon as Shi Bud stretched out his hand, the scout quickly took down the flag and held it to him with both hands.

Shi Bao is a university scholar, well-informed, and has been evaluated by many capable people as a talent with a strategy for the country. As a result, he only glanced at it twice, then frowned and said:

"Oh, it's very strange, the word on this is Zhou, and it's Han Seal."

Sima Shi asked puzzledly: "Seal book?" Since the unification of the Qin Emperor began to implement the Qin subordination, doesn't that mean that this flag really belongs to the Han of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States? ”

Shi Bao obviously couldn't agree with his guess: "If it's really that Han, wouldn't he go back five hundred years?" Xia Guan has lived for so long and read so many books, and he has never heard of such a thing. ”

Sima Shi was happy when he heard this, and he looked up and laughed: "Oh? Hahaha, I don't have as many books as Zhong Rong as Master Sima, but there are some strange things, go back and look for Mu Tianzi's biography. ”

Shi Bao suddenly said with a serious expression: "General, I'll talk about this later, the top priority now is how to deal with these two forces, you can't let them fight in the south, right?" What about the people of Dawei? ”

Sima Shi also realized the seriousness of the problem, and now no matter where the two forces in the south came from, it is better to calm down as soon as possible.

At this time, Shi Bao first waved his hand to let the scout retreat, and then lowered his voice and said: "Now that the prime minister's physical condition is so bad, those traitorous ministers in the court are afraid that they will still make trouble, and the general should make plans as soon as possible." ”

Sima Shi nodded, he can still trust Shi Bao, after all, without their Sima family, Shi Bao will definitely not be the current official.

"Well, I see, I've got it. Zhong Rong also helped me with the staff, and several scouts said that the so-called Korean army in the south has 40,000 or 50,000 people, and we only have more than 1,000 people in our hands, what should we do? ”

Shi Bao's eyes narrowed and analyzed: "Well, Xia Guan thought that he should be careful to pass through, pass as soon as possible, return to Yecheng, and then make plans." And I think it's up to someone else to do it. ”

Sima Shi also understood that Shi Bao was persuading him to avoid the edge for the time being, and with his Sima family's current control of the court situation, he could send his pro-Cao faction to fight the attrition when he went back, so as to further improve the strength comparison between Sima and Cao.

Sima Shi smiled again and complimented: "Well, Zhongrong, you are really my ovary." ”

Shi Bao didn't answer his words, but frowned and admonished: "General, don't laugh anymore, the imperial doctor said that your eye disease is taboo with violent mood swings, don't be overjoyed, not frightened, not sad......"

Sima Shi disagreed: "Cut, it's really boring, the husband can't laugh and can't drink happily, what's the fun......"

Shi Bao didn't know how to persuade him when he looked like this, in fact, Sima Shi was a gentle and elegant son when he was young, and he didn't become an official until he was very old.

But because the Sima family's power became bigger and bigger, the Cao family gradually began to suspect Sima Yi, and Sima Shi's life was not easy.

Until Cao Wei lost a serious monarch, the Sima family rose strongly, and killed Cao Shuang by virtue of a coup, and finally achieved power leaning towards the government and the opposition...... Coupled with the success of destroying Shu Han, Sima Shi also became arrogant.

At this time, a general came in a hurry and shouted: "General! The scouts found some refugees in front of them, all of whom claimed to be from South Korea, and they said that Korea had fallen entirely. ”

Sima Shi asked in surprise, "What?" Didn't you just say that the Qin army had just crossed the river? How did you capture that South Korea so quickly? ”

The partial general hurriedly explained: "General, the scouts can't go to the other side of the river, and the news I got before was also said by the Koreans, and this time the news came from refugees in Pingyang, the capital of South Korea, they said...... The Qin army relocated most of the inhabitants, and also set fire to the entire Pingyang City! ”

Sima Shi's face turned dark, and he opened his mouth to the stone bud next to him: "Look at this practice of looting the population of the whole city and setting fire to the city, after all, they know about our existence, this is in the clear field of the strong wall. ”

Shi Bao also frowned and responded: "Well, it can only be this reason, but in this way, we may encounter the Qin army's men and horses if we go further south, and we don't know how many people the Qin army has." ”

Sima Shi was silent for a while and said, "The Koreans say that they have 40,000 people, and they have the fortified city of Pingyang. How could it be so easy to be defeated by the Qin army? Even 40,000 pigs are not so easy to catch, right?

So I guess that either the Qin army has a lot more people than the Han army, or if you want to touch it, the Qin army has an internal response to Pingyang. ”

Shi Bao added: "It is also possible that the Qin army was large in number and strong in combat, and when the soldiers approached the city, someone in Pingyang City surrendered and sacrificed the city.

Anyway, we have to find a way to get back to Yecheng. If you can't go to the south, cross the Taihang Mountain, or return to Jincheng and detour from the north. ”

Although Sima Shi felt that there was some truth after hearing this, he didn't want to just forget it. He is the pride of the Sima family, and General Wei, who is really one person under ten thousand people, just burrowed into Taihang Mountain like this?

Suddenly, Sima Shi had an idea: "You just said that the so-called Qin army took away a large number of Koreans?" ”

The partial general nodded: "The Koreans said that the Qin army had looted almost all the young and middle-aged people, and the number of people was too large to count. ”

When Sima Shi heard this, he raised his head and laughed, and he had long forgotten Shi Bao's admonition: "Hahaha, God help me, it seems that this Qin general is more of a wealth fan than a famous general."

If he hadn't brought so many civilians, I really wouldn't have been able to deal with him, and now that he's bringing a bottle of oil, he's killing himself. ”

Although Shi Bao's political and cultural level is high, his military ability is very average, and he doesn't understand Sima Shi's meaning at all.

Sima Shi looked at Shi Bao's puzzled gaze and explained: "Zhong Rong, no matter how many the Qin army is, there will never be more than the Han people, and the Han people are naturally sad and frightened when they are driven away from home.

If we can be like Emperor Han Gao's confrontation against the overlord Xiang Yu back then, we can find a group of Koreans at night and give him a four-sided Korean song..."

Shi Bao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he picked up the second half of the sentence: "The Koreans will break out into a great escape, and then break up the formation of the Qin army, and we will take advantage of the night to make a big fanfare, and we can fish in the muddy water and defeat the Qin army!" ”

Sima Shi smiled heartily again: "Hahahaha, Zhong Rong, who knows me." Without further ado, we should be able to collect the refugees while going south, and as long as we arrive before the Qin army crosses the river, the plan will be simple! ”

Shi Bao also smiled slightly, and saluted with his fists: "Oh! ”

Sima Shi was even happier, as if he had seen his victory, and raised his head and let out bursts of laughter to celebrate in advance: "Hahahaha! ”

At this time, the Qin army in the south did not know what kind of crisis they were going to face.

They were just urging the Zhao Gao brothers to keep driving away those Koreans, but unfortunately there were too many Koreans.

Nearly 1,000 Qin troops, 3,000 or 4,000 Korean servant troops, this person is like raindrops entering the sea in front of hundreds of thousands of Koreans, and it is difficult to make any waves.

So under Zhao Gao's instructions, the Qin army began to keep abandoning the old and weak among the Koreans, and finally even those who were over forty years old did not want to go, even so, the march of the whole team was still wriggling.

Until, that night......
