Morale was high, the Wei army began a fierce attack on all sides, and when facing the enemy who came like a tsunami in the mountains, Zhang He, as the main general, was indeed very calm in his heart. He had already prepared for this scene in front of him, and even he and his generals had deduced when and what should be done, and now it seems that those are not useless, and they can be used now.

"Order to go down, fight and retreat, don't carry it hard." This was Zhang He's first military order facing the Wei army.

Without coming up, he took advantage of the high ground to counterattack and launch a strong counteroffensive, in order not to scare these Wei troops away. It was not easy to lure them out, if you were hearing them now, if you were entering the mountains, it would be impossible to annihilate them all. Therefore, Zhang He had already discussed with the military advisor Fu Zhu that he wanted to pretend to be evenly matched, only in this way could he make the other party not leave, but stay here and stalemate with them.

Of course, the premise of all this is to preserve their own strength, Zhang He does not allow the soldiers to take the initiative to attack, but only asks them to use a large number of sleepers, bows and arrows that have been prepared to counterattack, so that although they cannot regain the opponent in a short period of time, they can indeed ensure that their strength is not lost.

Zhang He's plan, Cao Pi naturally couldn't see it at this time, he was not completely clear about the situation on the high ground, all he could know was that there were not many enemies here, and only the Fourth Army Corps was on its own, even if it was like this, the number should be about 150,000, even so, of course he was confident of victory.

Cao Pi's confidence was very strong, and his generals were also full of confidence, and they launched wave after wave of attacks, and at dawn the next morning, they had already snatched a distance of nearly a mile.

Although I don't know how big this high ground is, I believe that as long as we continue to attack like this, we will always be able to break through it in three or five days, and finally destroy the Fourth Army here.

Perhaps because of the great progress of the battle overnight, the battle was still very fierce during the day the next day, and the attacks of the Wei army were like waves of the sea.

It seems that the progress of the army is going well, and the other generals, including Cao Pi, are very happy, but there is one person who does make a frown, and he is Sima Yi.

From the moment he saw that Fu Zhu had set up camp on the high ground, he felt that something was wrong, and he also raised his suspicions, but Cao Pi and the others had stayed in the mountains for too long, and they didn't want to wait, which made his opinion unattended.

Everything was going so smoothly now that it seemed to prove that his previous suspicions were suspicious. But because of this, Sima Yi firmly believed in the thoughts in his heart.

Sima Yi thought that if Fu Zhi had already done a good job of defense, then why could the army go so smoothly and occupy an area of 500 meters in just one night? This should not be the real strength of the Four Legions.

In the previous battle of Gaoyuan City, Gao Gan led the four legions with such majesty, even if they were calculated and taken by surprise, they still dealt a heavy blow to them. And at that time, the other party was not prepared at all, but now, he has been prepared, but why is it so unbearable? Could it be that this is the intention of the enemy?

Or is there a bigger move in the Celestial Empire?

Thinking of this, Sima Yi's face couldn't help but change, the more he felt that his thoughts were correct, and the more he felt the danger now.

Sima Yi wanted to find Cao Pi and tell him at this time, things were a little too weird and abnormal. It's just that he knows that if he says this now, I'm afraid that no one will be able to listen to it, and it will even make people think that he is jealous of those generals.

Thinking that the Celestial Empire should have a plan, the purpose was to devour himself, and Sima Yi couldn't calm down, he knew that life and death were in an instant. He even thought that even if he fled now, he was afraid that it would be too late.

It's just that no matter what, when his life was in danger, Sima Yi still decided to give it a try, so he asked his own soldiers to call General Sun Li, he has always had a good personal relationship with this person, and at this moment he can only pin his hope on this person.

General Sun Li was directing the battle of attacking the mountain in the front, and when he heard that Sima Yi was looking for him, he asked the deputy general to take his place and go down the mountain, and as soon as he entered the account, he heard a sentence that surprised him, "General Sun, our lives are in danger." ”

"Why did Lord Sima say this?" Hearing Sima Yi's words, Sun Li was naturally surprised.

In his heart, Sun Li has great respect for Sima Yi, not for anything else. Anyone has to suffer when facing the Celestial Empire, even Wolong Zhuge Liang, who has the title of the world's first wise man, has never made any gains, but he suffered a big loss in front of Sima Yi, from beginning to end, the Celestial Empire's loss of troops in the hands of this person is almost a legion.

With this achievement, Sun Li was convinced, and even he thought that there were few people who would be Sima Yi's opponent in terms of intelligence.

And now that Sima Yi has said that their lives are in danger, it is no wonder that Sun Li is so nervous.

"General Sun, do you feel that we fought too smoothly in this battle, can it be said that the Fourth Army really has only these combat strengths?" Seeing Sun Li enter the account, Sima Yi told the doubts in his heart, he knew that time is precious now, if he didn't make a decision quickly, he was afraid that there would really be no chance, so when he spoke, he didn't beat around the bush at all, but bluntly said what he thought in his heart.

"Yes, Lord Sima, the last general does feel that way." Sun Li nodded in agreement.

With the experience of the last battle of Gaoyuan, Sun Li was even ready for a hard battle when he attacked this time. But when the two sides came into contact, he found that the actual situation was much higher than he imagined, could it be that he overestimated the Fourth Legion? But it wasn't until now that Sima Yi said this, and he didn't know that maybe there was really a side of the matter that he didn't know.

Seeing that Sun Li actually agreed with his idea, Sima Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that this person didn't trust him, if so, I was afraid that it would be useless to say anything. Fortunately, this person still has some sense, and he also sees that the situation is not right.

"Very good, General Sun, I really didn't misunderstand you, you are worthy of being a wise and brave general." At this time, in order to gain Sun Li's support, Sima Yi also had to slap the ass lightly.

Sun Li was naturally very happy to be praised by Sima Yi, but he still made a modest look on his face and said: "Master Sima, don't laugh, my wisdom is really insignificant compared to adults." ”

"General Sun, don't be presumptuous, you have your strengths, and I came to you this time to discuss with you." Sima Yi said with a smile on his face. He had decided to escape, and if he wanted to leave, there would always be someone around him to protect, and Sun Li became his first choice.

Hearing Sima Yi's polite words, Sun Li immediately clenched his fists and said, "If Lord Sima has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, and you will definitely obey your lord's orders." ”

"Okay." Sima Yi wanted this sentence, and immediately said: "General Sun, if my expectations are good, all this is a bureau, a bureau against our 500,000 army, since the appearance of the Fourth Army Corps here to lure us into the bait, the Celestial Empire army has already acted, and even in other places, there may have been many other unknown armies surrounding us, which is clearly to destroy us." ”

"What?" Rao is Sun Li thought that there was something wrong with this battle, but he really never thought that the Celestial Empire really wanted to eat them. There are nearly 500,000 troops here, and this place is still in Qingzhou, and it still belongs to the Wei State, so they have such courage?

It's just that although there are some doubts in his heart, Sun Li really believes Sima Yi's words, because no one dares to joke about such a big matter.

Wouldn't it be dangerous for everyone to think that if this was the case? Sun Li immediately said: "Master Sima, that's the case, why don't you tell the second prince what you think?" ”

"Alas, it's useless. Now that the second son has been carried away by the victory in front of him, he will not listen to me. And even if it is a strike now, it will be too late. I think that our road to Xuzhou should have been blocked. Immediately, unless we enter the deep mountains at one time, we can be hidden there, but does General Sun really think that the army can still enter the mountains without incident? Sima Yi shook his head as he spoke, looking very discouraged. The battle to such an extent was indeed beyond his expectations, and if he had known this, he should have quickly withdrawn to Runan when he had destroyed the 4th Army of 50,000 people.

Sun Li naturally knew that it was impossible for the army to enter the deep mountains, don't talk about it, food is a huge problem, hundreds of thousands of troops are there, how to get through without food, presumably it won't be long before even a mutiny is possible.

Thinking that he couldn't enter the deep mountains, Sun Li said, "Lord Sima, what are we going to do?" ”

"What else, if you believe me, run away now, maybe you can get a glimmer of life before the Celestial Empire army arrives." Sima Yi finally said what he was thinking. And after saying it, he looked at Sun Li with some expectation, waiting for his decision.

"Ahh What does Master Sima mean to escape? Although he was a little prepared, Sun Li was still shocked when he heard this.

"It can be said to be a retreat, of course, it can also be described by the word escape, only now can we do this, maybe we can have a glimmer of life, and only by preserving our lives can we have the qualifications to compete with the Celestial Empire. Of course, if General Sun is unwilling, Yi will not be reluctant, but I must leave. Sima Yi knew that there was a showdown, so there was nothing to hide, and he also believed that even if Sun Li didn't go with him, this person's humanity should not go to Cao Pi.
