However, it was said that Jiang Wei led more than 3,000 soldiers to restrain their breath and hide in the mouth of the broken stone again, waiting for the Wu army to be arrested.

I didn't know that I waited until the sun sank to the west, and I didn't wait for half of Wu soldiers to be seen.

Guan Xing couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Boyo, I see that the Dongwu rats must have been frightened when they saw that the friendly troops lost news one by one, and they didn't dare to chase after them." Why don't I wait until I go back to join my father and hurry back west? ”

Jiang Wei was also puzzled, and at this moment, Qiu Xia saw two cavalrymen in leather armor roaring past.

He hurriedly covered Guan Xing's mouth and said in a low voice: "Silence, wait!" ”

******

Zhuge Jin, who was waiting for the Han army, was anxious and restless at this time.

He participated in the Jingzhou crusade on the orders of Sun Quan, the lord of Wu. After successfully attacking Jiangling City, Lü Meng's soldiers divided into two routes, one was led by Lu Xun, traced Jiangxi to the west, and directly took Yiling, Yidu, and Zigui Zhucheng; One route was controlled by Zhuge Jin, encircled and suppressed the remnants of Guan Yu in the area of Maicheng, and was responsible for commanding and coordinating Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran, Sun Jiao, Sun Huan, and Jiang Qin.

Zhuge Jin is the middle Sima of Eastern Wu, a high and powerful position, and Sun Quan's confidant and friend, so he naturally has the power and status to control the ministries.

In Sun Quan's view, Zhuge Jin is broad-minded, gentle and honest, and he trusts him very much; However, in the hearts of the generals who surrounded and suppressed Guan Yu in this trip, he was more than virtuous and not majestic - just a good man.

Therefore, as soon as the generals learned that Guan Yu had broken through, they took matters into their own hands and did not communicate much with the nominal overseer. Sun Jiao had a very good relationship with him, and before the pursuit, he wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it.

As the actual commander of this place, Zhuge Jin doesn't pay much attention to the credit for capturing Guan Yu, but the friendly troops have lost contact one by one, and he doesn't know how to live or die, which is what he is most concerned about.

Wu Hou entrusted him with this important task, how could he not do his best?

In a hurry, he could only order Sun Huan's department, which was closest to him, to come and converge, and after the two departments were about 10,000 people and made one, he chased in the direction pointed out by Sun Jiao's letter.

When the army marched to the battlefield where Guan Yu's army was fighting with Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran's coalition forces in the morning, he saw the corpses of Wu Jun lying on the ground, and Zhuge Jin felt bad.

He is known for his wisdom, and after all, he is not one of those vulgar men who are easy to get hot-blooded. The order was immediately given to stop the inspection.

Once inspected, he found many suspicious points, such as the fact that many Wu troops died from the stampede of war horses - it can be seen that there are cavalry in the Shu army, and there are quite a few of them; For example, there are many Wu soldiers who died on the back, thinking that they were hit by the back.

Judging from the above clues, Guan Yu must have received reinforcements!

With Guan Yu's prestige, getting reinforcements is naturally like a tiger. Each of his own departments fought on their own, and finally had to be sent all the way to the tiger's mouth, and he was never lucky.

was hesitating whether to pursue, when he suddenly heard Sun Huan, who was traveling with him, shouting: "There is still a living mouth here!" ”

Zhuge Jin hurriedly followed the visit.

It was originally a Wu sergeant's shoulder that was trampled on by a war horse, and he fainted to death under severe pain, and he fell asleep for a long time.

Zhuge Jin personally fed the soldier with water, and seeing that he was in good spirits, Fang asked, "This brother, how many reinforcements did Guan Yu have?" ”

The soldier grinned in pain, but the Lord asked, so he had to recall: "Light... There are hundreds of cavalry alone, and there must be thousands of them! ”

After all, Sun Huan was young and vigorous, and after hearing this, he immediately hugged his fists and asked for battle: "Sima, our army has 10,000 people, and half of them are the tiger guards brought by the last general from Jianye, and the combat power is strong. And the feather soldiers are less than 10,000, and they have fought repeatedly, and they will definitely be defeated, so please order a quick pursuit! ”

Sun Huan was a member of the Eastern Wu clan and was the commander of the Wuwei Command at the time. Because of his erudition and strong memory, Yunwen Yunwu, Sun Quan often called him "Zong Yan Yuan". This time, Sun Quan ordered him to lead thousands of his own direct Tiger Guard infantry to participate in the Jingzhou Raiders, firstly, in order to protect Zhuge Jin, and secondly, he also had the intention of letting him make some military exploits.

Zhuge Jin frowned bitterly, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded. In any case, he was ordered to coordinate and control the various ministries, and now that half of them have lost their whereabouts, it is naturally his responsibility to find out.

Moreover, he is also obliged to find out the movements and whereabouts of the Yu Army, and provide further intelligence in the direction of Gangneung.

"Just be careful, avoid a head-on battle, just follow from afar, and it should be fine!"

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin immediately ordered the herald: "Immediately report the defeat of Guan Yu to General Jiangling Lu after receiving thousands of reinforcements and Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran, and Sun Jiao!" ”

As the herald took the order, Zhuge Jin ordered another 500 soldiers and ordered them to bury the bodies of the Wu soldiers here, and instructed Dan to carry them to the camp for treatment if they still had a breath.

He was not sure about the road ahead, so he sent scouts to reconnoitre, so the march was not fast until sunset, when they reached the vicinity of the broken stone mouth.

Zhuge Jin is now with Sun Huan, guarded by the army in the middle, slowly moving forward.

He knows Guan Yu very well, he is a fierce man who is not afraid of anyone, and he will definitely be strengthened if he gets reinforcements. I don't know how many generals are alive or dead, these are all generals that Wu Hou values very much. He was worried in his heart, and his brows were twisted into a Sichuan character.

Seeing this, Sun Huan on the side said with relief: "Don't worry about Sima, even if Guan Yu is brave, but after a long battle, the veteran soldiers will inevitably be tired." And the last general led by Wu Hou's personal guards, well-equipped, and fought against the Wei army for a long time, not afraid of Guan Yu's remnants. ”

Zhuge Jin listened to him confidently, and his heart was a little settled.

Halfway through the army, Zhuge Jin's face suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "Shuwu, the situation is a little wrong!" ”

Sun Huan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhuge Jin looked around and said in a deep voice: "This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, trees and forests, and there must be countless birds and beasts around to settle down. At this time, when the sun is setting in the west and the tired birds are returning to their nests, how can it be so silent? ”

When Sun Huan heard this, he looked around, and saw that he was standing under a small hill, and the trees on the hill were towering, and the layers of forests were dyed, covering the hill solidly. The winter wind blew, only rustling the branches and leaves, and there was no movement at all.

He thought for a moment and said, "I heard that every winter, wild beasts hibernate, and migratory birds migrate south. It's the middle of winter, maybe that's why. ”

Zhuge Jin shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu doesn't know. Jin has been poor since he was a child, and knows that there is a kind of bird called sparrow, which eats miscellaneous, and lives in the same place all year round. Even if all the migratory birds here are gone, how can there not even be half a sparrow? ”

Sun Huan's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated: "What does Sima mean, is it that there is an ambush here?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hills seemed to answer his question, and the shouts of murder burst out, and countless arrows poured down like a raging storm, or without interruption.

The Wu soldiers on the road did not check, and they were immediately shot on their backs, and they were all panicked for a while, shouting everywhere.

"Enemy attack! There's an enemy attack! ”

"There's an ambush!"

It turned out that Jiang Wei wanted to repeat his old tricks, and wait for this Wu army to pass before closing the door and beating the dogs.

But when he saw the two generals, dressed as men, suddenly stopping their horses on the side of the road, and pointing at the hill where he was hiding, he knew that the ambush might have been discovered, and in desperation, he had to give the order to attack in advance.

Three thousand against ten thousand, it is really a difficult "ambush war".
