"What's the matter, the lord has returned to Nanzheng in defeat?" Guo Huai paused slightly, and then asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Exactly, this is a letter written by the lord himself, please read it carefully!" While talking, the person took out a letter and handed it to Guo Huai, who took a quick look at it on the horse, but it was Sima Yi and Lu Xun who confronted Wuxiang, but Lu Xun won a battle with fire, and now he was forced to retreat to Baocheng, so that Guo Huai divided some soldiers and horses to rescue.
"So, where is the lord now, and how many soldiers and horses are there?" After Guo Huai finished reading it, he said quietly. How do people know that General Guo in front of him has already surrendered to the enemy, let alone that the 10,000 people behind him are wolves in sheep's clothing. At that moment, he hurriedly replied: "The main army has returned to Baocheng, and the current strength is not sufficient, only a few thousand. The lord said that he wanted General Guo to divide his troops to come back, and asked General Guo to go as soon as possible...... Yes! ”
"Sure enough, Sima Yi is almost at the end of his rope!" Looking at the herald who fell in front of him, Zhao Feng said thoughtfully.
"Then general, are we going to attack Baocheng now?" Niu Jin asked after waving the blood stains on the knife.
"No need, although Baocheng is a strong city, the grain and grass are all supplied by Nanzheng, so it is better to take Nanzheng first to cut off its grain route, so Sima Yi will have to lose." Zhao Feng said lightly. Don't care what five buckets of rice you have, it is the Dao of the Immortals, I don't believe that you can skip eating, at that moment Zhao Feng urged the army to continue to go to Nanzheng City, and finally arrived at Nanzheng City after an hour.
"Open the door, I'm Guo Huai!" Looking at the defenders on full alert at the head of the city, Guo Huai greeted first. The defenders at the head of the city motioned for him to wait for a while, and after a while, a woman with an extremely ugly appearance came running and asked, "Boji, the king is trapped in Baocheng, you better go to Baocheng first and help the king repel the invading enemy!" ”
"It seems that this is Zhang Chunhua!" Zhao Feng muttered in his heart, it really made people unable to eat. The soldiers behind him were even more unhelpful, and there was already a lot of talk. Zhao Feng hurriedly signaled them not to make a fuss, lest Zhang Chunhua see the flaws.
"Madame Mingjian, Guo Huai came lightly, the grain and grass are already insufficient, and the advanced city needs to replenish it!" Guo Huai explained that this excuse is quite reasonable, and it is true that everyone does not have much on them.
"Well, what happened to the mediocre enemy army?" Zhang Chunhua seemed to be a little uneasy, and continued to interrogate.
"After I dug the dike, there was not much left of the submerged ground of the enemy army. At present, General Wang Shuang is staying in the city, and I will lead the army to meet the lord! Guo Huai really has two hits, and he doesn't miss any flaws. Zhang Chunhua asked again and again, feeling that there was nothing wrong, so he ordered the city to open the city and let Guo Huai in.
"Kill me!" After the city gate opened, Zhao Feng immediately gave an order, and then all the people suddenly took out a white cloth from their arms and hung it around their necks, then pulled out their blades and killed them in the city. The defenders were caught off guard, and a few people at the gate were quickly cut down, and then the army quickly entered the city. The defenders of the city were in such a hurry that they could not organize any effective resistance. And after the army from behind entered the city, the situation on both sides became even more one-sided.
After an hour of fierce fighting, the more than 7,000 people defending the city were almost completely annihilated, and Zhang Chunhua, the wife of Sima Yi, who was in charge of staying in Nanzheng, and her two sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, were all captured alive. When the mother and son were escorted to Zhao Feng, Rao is Zhao Feng had been on the battlefield for a long time and was like a murderer, and he couldn't help but be startled: the resentment in the eyes of the mother and son couldn't hide it even if they closed their eyes. After Zhao Feng saw it, he only felt like a she-wolf and two little wolf cubs looking at him.
"The surname is Zhao, if you kill my whole family, I am inseparable from you. Today, even if you kill me, he says that my husband will definitely break you into pieces! Zhang Chunhua did not have the consciousness of being a prisoner at all, and he scolded bluntly as soon as he met. Zhao Feng looked at the mother and son, and felt that the sweat droplets in his head were about to come down.
"General, this girl is so rude, how do you think you clean it up?" Niu Jin asked with a snort.
"Drag it down, strangle it all!" Zhao Feng closed his eyes and said. Zhang Chunhua can't be kept, and Sima Shi and Sima Zhao are also a scourge to keep them, and they will all be killed for the sake of safety. Zhao Feng has never killed indiscriminately in his life, but this time in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he had to do so. In addition, killing Sima Yi's wife and children will also greatly reduce the possibility of him surrendering. Zhao Feng didn't want Sima Yi to surrender, in that case, it would not be easy for him to clean him up.
He wasn't the only one who felt surprised, the rest of the people also felt that something was wrong. "Lord Wang, have you really killed them all?" Niu Jin asked with some surprise. Seeing that Zhao Feng nodded, Niu Jin didn't say anything, and pushed down and strangled all three of them with a rope. Zhao Feng was not at ease, and after strangulation, he stepped forward to take a look, and made sure that he was out of breath, so he still ordered the head to be killed. Everyone only thought that he was angry with Zhang Chunhua, who would have thought that he would have so many small abacus.
Nanzheng City has been captured, but the city is still not peaceful. At this time, except for Baocheng and Yangping Pass, the rest of the places have been taken by Zhao Feng and Lu Xun. However, the entire Hanzhong people believe in the five buckets of rice, even if the city is breached, but there are still frequent uprisings against the Sichuan army, which makes people anxious for a while. At that moment, Zhao Feng ordered Ma Zhong to lead an army of 20,000 to stay in Nanzheng, and he went to join Lu Xun to besiege Baocheng.
"Bo Yan, how are you doing here?" After Zhao Feng joined Lu Xun, he also had a little headache about these blooming incidents, and now he was completely caught in the vast sea of the people's war.
"Lord Wang, recently, the Wudoumi Taoist people in Nanjiang, Wuxiang and other places have frequently risen up and attacked the grain and grass. It is very disadvantageous for the army to be stripped up by them! I don't know what the prince can do to deal with the current situation? After Lu Xun sighed, he also asked with some expectation.
"There's nothing I can do, I can't kill all the people in Hanzhong!" Zhao Feng sighed. knew that Sima Yi was making a lot of trouble in Hanzhong, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated, and he was so embarrassed that he had stayed in Hanzhong for a while, and now he has become a public enemy. I really don't know what the people of Hanzhong think, but they were brainwashed like this by Sima Yi.
"This matter is postponed and discussed, Bo Yan, now in Baocheng, how many soldiers, horses, grain and grass does Sima Yi have?" After thinking about it, Zhao Feng still asked, as long as Sima Yi is killed, everything else is easy to say.
"Sima Yi has at most five or six thousand men and horses, and the grain and grass are enough to support more than ten days, Sima Yi's grain and grass are all hoarded in Nanzheng and Micang Mountain, but Baocheng is limited!" Lu Xun replied. Zhao Feng nodded, and finally clapped his head: "In this case, we will besiege Sima Yi here, Shizai, you lead five thousand men and horses, and prepare to cooperate with Deyang to extinguish the rebellion of the people everywhere!" "Everyone also knows that this is no way, and it is really difficult to face Hanzhong, where all the people are soldiers. As long as he survives for more than ten days and forces Sima Yi to run out of food completely, he can win without a fight.
It is ironic that in history, Sima Yi relied on the advantage of grain and grass to force Zhuge Liang back again and again. Now he is also trapped in this city because he has run out of food and grass, and there is nothing he can do. On the ninth day of the siege of the city, the defenders opened the door and surrendered. But Sima Yi would rather die than surrender, and was tied up by several of his own soldiers and sent to Zhao Feng.
When Zhao Feng saw Sima Yi in the palace of Baocheng, those wolf eyes had lost their lustre. There is no wisdom in it, only loss, exhaustion, and confusion. The successive military defeats, coupled with the lack of food in the past few days, have already tormented the nerves of this generation of heroes to the point that they should almost collapse.
Looking at Zhao Feng in front of him, Sima Yi said leisurely: "Your Excellency is Zhao Botao?" ”
"That's right, it's me. You are Sima Yi? Zhao Feng looked at the person in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, but the hair on his head was already a lot whiter. Coupled with the wolf's eyes, the whole person exuded a yin owl aura. And now, Sima Yi is looking at himself, looking like he wants to say something.
"Sima Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Zhao Feng nodded to signal that he had something to say directly. Sima Yi nodded, and finally asked, "I heard that Sun Zhongmou was killed by Your Excellency?" ”
"Exactly, but he hanged himself, I just beat him!" Zhao Feng nodded.
"Cao Mengde, you were also angry with you?" Sima Yi continued to ask, and although Zhao Feng was a little strange, he still replied: "He was blocked by me in Pujin Pass, and finally he had a head attack and ran out of oil and died. ”
"I see, I heard that my wife and children have been killed by Your Excellency in Nanzheng, it seems that you don't plan to let me go!" Sima Yi said a little bitterly, no matter how wise a person is, he will not be completely calm in the face of death.
"That's right, if you have anything else, say it as soon as possible!" Zhao Feng nodded. Sima Yi sighed lightly, but finally said: "I have been out of food for a few days, and my stomach is hungry and thirsty, and I hope that Your Excellency will let me eat enough before I go on the road!" ”
"Yes!" After Zhao Feng said these two words briefly, someone gave Sima Yi a bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables, and Sima Yi finished gobbling it up, and sighed with relief.
"Don't use the knife, I have poison!" Sima Yi put down the dishes and chopsticks and took out a delicate small bottle from his arms. Pouring half a glass of wine into the wine glass, and then sprinkling some of the medicinal powder in the bottle into it, Sima Yi actually smiled: "Actually, I just took a few wrong steps, counting a few less moves, otherwise, Zhao Botao, you may not be able to win me!" ”
"You're wrong, how many wrong steps did you take? Although it is not a heinous crime to compete for the world, those who have the world in their hearts must first consider the people's livelihood and the safety of the people, rather than acting recklessly for their own selfish desires. Even for his own ulterior purposes, he also used extraordinary means against his own soldiers. Such an act can only make people's teeth cold, how can they compete for dominance in the world? Zhao Feng snorted. As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi was really stunned, and sighed for a long time: "Maybe you're right, I only have one last thing I want to ask you, Your Excellency is Gui Geng this year?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Feng was a little surprised that Sima Yi was suddenly interested in his age, Sima Yi didn't answer, but asked again, "Is Your Excellency 24 years old this year?" ”
"Of course not, I'm in my forties!" Zhao Feng didn't know why he had this question, but fortunately, Sima Yi quickly explained it to him: "Humble Jing is proficient in astronomical calendars and Taoist arithmetic. He once said to me, "I want to achieve great things, but the one who does bad to me came to this world in the first year of the first peace." Born in the first year of Chuping, shouldn't he be 24 years old this year? General Chuping defeated Cao Mengde in three years, so naturally it won't be. I just wanted to see if my wife's arithmetic was really wrong. ”
"Naturally, she miscalculated!" Zhao Feng pouted and said, as soon as these words came out, Zhao Feng had a flash of inspiration in his mind: In the first year of Chuping, wasn't that the year when he passed through rebirth?
