When Jia Xu heard this, his expression froze, and after a while of silence, he opened his mouth and said.

"Today, Your Majesty is eloquent and thirsty. Zhu Xiumu and Ding Chengyuan are all usable talents, and they will save their lives first. In the future, when the war in Soochow ends, whether to accept or abandon, His Majesty Freedom will personally decide. You can divide these captives into batches and escort them back to Xuzhou. As for Zhu Xiumu and Ding Chengyuan, they had to send a separate team of soldiers and horses to escort them, just in case. ”

Jia Xu quickly made a decision, and when Cao Pi heard this, he made his promise, so he made arrangements according to Jia Xu's order. On the same day, Cao Pi divided hundreds of elites into ten teams, each team of dozens of people, each with weapons, escorted each team of Wu soldiers to take prisoners, set off in batches, set off from all roads, and went to Xuzhou.

Subsequently, Jia Xu ordered each general to rectify the deployment of his subordinates, occupy Hailing Pass, and then quickly make meticulous efforts to infiltrate Wu County in batches to report to Cao Cao.

Ding Feng and Zhu Huan were defeated and captured, Hailing Pass was lost, and Jia Xu's army could drive straight into Wu County at any time. said that Lu Xun, with the help of Zhuge Liang's clever plan, broke the Zhangjaw Army. Zhang Jaw led the remnants of the defeated army to flee back to Ping'a, but fortunately the loss was not much, and nearly 20,000 people returned from 30,000 soldiers and horses. However, due to the hasty escape in the heavy rain, most of the 20,000 people who returned were sick, and it was difficult to start the war. Cao Cao was furious, and Zhang Jaw and Sima Yi were severely punished. However, the two did not dare to complain in the slightest, and according to the order, while preparing the troops and horses, they waited for the opportunity to take revenge, and they were humiliated.

Suddenly, one day, Cao Cao saw that the current situation was unpredictable, and he was very upset, and sent Wang Danyang to go to the fine work, but there has been no news back so far. Cao Cao thought to himself that there must be no more relaxation at this time, otherwise he would be trapped in the hinterland of Wu County, isolated and helpless. Although he has a large number of soldiers, as long as Sun Quan and Lu Xun besiege him, and wait for time, his army will be exhausted, and he will be wiped out.

What kind of person Cao Cao is, how could he sit back and wait to be killed, and immediately summon a group of civil and military personnel to come to discuss. After a while, a group of civil and military officers rushed to the court, finished the salute, and sat down according to the seat. Cao Cao's face was cold and solemn, and his eyes that could swallow the sky emitted bursts of terrifying light, and he said in a deep voice that he was worried about one by one, and then asked everyone for advice. Everyone looked at each other, all of them were helpless. At this moment, Dian Wei was stunned, and he came out with a sigh of rage.

"Just that Zhuge villager, what are you afraid of!? At present, our army still has 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses available, and there are so many elite soldiers and fierce generals, but do you need to be so weak!? A certain is willing to lead an army, and he will inevitably capture the Zhuge villager to avenge General Xiahou's revenge!! ”

With the roar of Dian Wei, the entire government seemed to be shaken. Cao Cao's expression changed slightly, but he was silent. At this time, the morale of the army is low, and it is necessary for bloody men like Dian Wei to anger the army. Sure enough, all the generals were shocked when they heard this, and they all attended to ask for their lives, and they were willing to go with Dian Wei. Cao Cao still didn't answer, but set his eyes on Sima Yi. Sima Yi understood, hurriedly gave his hand out, and said in a condensed voice.

"Generals, don't be impatient. Let's listen to Yi's words. Zhuge Kongming is scheming, wise and victorious, and in the Wu thief army, there is still Lu Boyan in charge. Both of them are people with amazing intelligence and deep knowledge of the art of war, and if our army rushes away, it will be difficult to defeat them with only the courage of blood and energy. ”

When Dian Wei heard this, his face was displeased, and he snorted coldly.

"Master Sima, what you said can really be said to be a way to destroy your own prestige! ! Could it be that you were defeated before, and you have been frightened by that Zhuge Kongming!? ”

Dian Wei has always disliked Sima Yi's temperament that likes to forbear, and Dian Wei secretly noticed that Sima Yi always didn't know what bad water to make, and he was not a loyal martyr. Naturally, there are no good things to say at the moment. For Dian Wei's sneering, Sima Yi was also lifeless, and bowed his hand resignedly, and said slowly.

"That's not true. Yi is deeply favored by His Majesty's kindness, and it is difficult to repay death, and he always hopes to be able to work with dogs and horses. Even if there is cowardice in his heart, if His Majesty has an order, he will go calmly, although he will die without regrets. ”

Sima Yi's face was pale, and there was no false color. Dian Wei snorted coldly, but he didn't want to quarrel with Sima Yi. Seeing this, Cao Cao suddenly grinned and said to Sima Yi.

"Zhongda loyalty, how can I not know? According to Zhongda's opinion, what should I do now? ”

Sima Yi's expression sank, his mind was spinning, and he said quickly.

"According to Weichen's opinion, outside the city of Ping'a, there is a small city called Dongfu City. If Lu Boyan wants to attack Ping'a, Dongfu City is the place where he must pass. Your Majesty should reorganize your troops and horses, first capture Dongfucheng, and then defend this city to resist Lu Boyan's army. And His Majesty led most of the soldiers and horses to kill Wu County on the same day, as long as Wu County is broken, Sun Zhongmou and others are all prisoners of the order, and Dongwu can be determined!! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and said with a calm face.

"But if Dongfu can't hold it, Lu Boyan will cover up and kill from behind, and at that time, I have already sent troops from Ping'a, and there is no city to guard, I will be attacked by Wu thieves before and after, and it will be dangerous!!"

Sima Yi's eyes shone brightly, and he said sharply.

"Your Majesty is very worried. But at present, the situation is urgent, and there can be no more slackness, otherwise when Lu Boyan kills Ping'a, Sun Zhongmou will send troops from Wu County to besiege Ping'a. Although Your Majesty has a city to defend, our army is deep into the hinterland, isolated and helpless, and over time, the army's morale will be chaotic. At that time, everything will be over!! His Majesty can send a loyal general to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Dongfu, and the generals and colonels of the army need to stand up in the form of a military and defend desperately. In this way, the whole army will work together to resist Lu Boyan's soldiers and horses!! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he shot out two rays of light with a majestic expression, looking around at the generals.

"Zhongda's plan is very good, but I am afraid that there are no loyal martyrs in the army!!"

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Dian Wei and Zhang Jaw shouted almost in unison, and opened their mouths to shout.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The last general is willing to die with his strength!! The city is in the people, the city is dead, and the people are dead!! ”

Cao Cao's expression was shocked, and his eyes quickly wandered on Dian Wei and Zhang Jaw. Soon, Cao Cao had made up his mind in his heart, and his whole body burst out with a momentum like heavenly might, and he shouted in a condensed voice.

"Where is Zhang Junyi!?"

"Zhang Junyi is here!!"

He opened his jaw and tugged at his heart, took a step forward, and bowed his hand again. Cao Cao's eyes were sharp, narrowed into two thin lines, and said majestically.

"You have been defeated for a while before, I ask you, if you lose again this time, what will you do!?"

"The last general is willing to make a military order, if Dongfu is lost, there will only be a dead ear!!"

Open jaw eyes burst into ji

G-ray, energetic, fearless, opened his mouth and shouted. When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed loudly and applauded.

"Hahaha!! Good! Good!! Good!!! Righteousness can be shameful and courageous, and he is determined to be desperate, and he is worthy of the style of a general!! ”

Zhang Jaw's face froze, and he arched his hand.

"The general of the defeated army, I dare not be ashamed!! The last general will fight hard and live up to His Majesty's high expectations!! ”

Cao Cao smiled brightly, and suddenly changed his words, looked at Sima Yi and said slowly.

As Zhong Da said, Zhuge Kongming and Lu Boyan are both proficient in the art of war, and they are strategic, and they are righteous to go, if there is no wise and resourceful person to give advice left and right, it is difficult to be their opponents. Zhong Da thinks that who can take on this great responsibility among the conspirators under my command!? ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Sima Yi understood his meaning, and hurriedly shook his spirits and replied.

"Weichen thinks that this must be done!!"

Cao Cao listened, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Weichen was defeated by Zhuge Kongming first, when he will absorb the shame of the past, keep it in mind, and then confront him, he will never be easily deceived in it. Although Weichen is only a little learned, he is loyal to His Majesty, and he is willing to set up a military form to make this ambition clear!! ”

Sima Yi's eyes were shining, full of anger. Cao Cao's smile was even better, and he replied with his chin.

"Zhongda can have this ambition, it is really my luck. In this way, I will rely on you and righteousness! ”

Sima Yi and Zhang Jaw glanced at each other, and the two bowed goodbye. Therefore, Cao Cao's decision has been decided, ordering Zhang Jaw to be the main general, Sima Yi to be the deputy general and military division, leading 20,000 elite soldiers, to Dongfu on the same day, to guard the city, in order to resist Lu Xun's soldiers and horses. Zhang Jaw and Sima Yi were ordered to retreat, and each made allocations.

Just as he stepped out of the mansion before opening his jaw, someone suddenly stopped him behind him. Zhang Jaw turned around to look, only to see Sima Yi's face full of bitterness, and whispered to Zhang Jaw.

"Shi'er has a strong temperament, and he will come to the army to report soon. I also hope that General Zhang, for the sake of my Sima family's loyalty to the imperial court, I will leave a queen for the Sima family. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jaw's heart tightened, looking at Sima Yi's almost pleading look, he sighed, and bowed his head in response.

It was noon, and it was scorching hot. In the middle school yard of Ping'a City, Sima Shi looked anxious, and hurriedly found his father, and said sharply.

The child went to General Zhang to report for duty, but General Zhang refused, as if there was a hidden secret. Can this matter be related to the father!? ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he stopped his efforts and cast a glance at the soldier beside him, and the soldier understood, walked away quickly, and took over Sima Yi's work. Sima Yi turned around, looked at Sima Shi, his face was solemn, and led Sima Shi to a place where no one was around, and then said slowly and meaningfully.

"Zhuge Kongming is the demon of the world. For the sake of the father, the outcome is unpredictable. And the lieutenant generals and colonels in the army have all set up a military form, and they will fight a decisive battle. If you win, you live, and if you lose, you die.

You are the eldest son under your father's knees, and if anything happens to your father, you should take over the Sima family. You have a great responsibility, how can you go with your father!? ”

When Sima Shi heard this, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said.

"So it was. The child went to implore His Majesty that the child would send an army on his father's behalf to guard Dongfu. My father is deeply appreciated by His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely hope to take my father to Wu County together!! ”

Sima Shi said, turned around and wanted to leave. Sima Yi's face turned cold, and he shouted to Sima Shi.

"Unfilial son, don't you hurry up and stop for your father!! Your Majesty has always been strict in governing the army, how can you be allowed to replace the important generals in the army at will. You are deceiving the king, according to the law of the Great Wei, you should exterminate a clan, you want to make the Sima family have the disaster of extermination!? ”

Sima Shi stopped suddenly, trembled, turned suddenly, knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and sobbed.

"Don't dare! Father's anger!! ”

Sima Yi sighed and said to Sima Shi.

"Master, ask you for your father. Looking at the current situation, is the battle of Wuxian more important, or is the battle of Dongfu more important? ”

When Sima Shi heard this, he looked at Sima Yi, only to see Sima Yi's face solemn, his heart sank, and after pondering for a while, he replied.

"Sun Zhongmou is the lord of Eastern Wu, and the hundreds of military officials under his command are all in Wu County. If Wu County is broken, and the Eastern Wu Sheji collapses immediately, it stands to reason that the battle of Wu County is more important! ”
