"No, father, I want to watch one more day."

Seeing that Sima Zhao still didn't give up, Sima Yi simply picked out and said, "I have given a killing order to Xu Huang, although the Shu general is brave, but he is powerless to return to the sky alone, tomorrow the Shu army camp will be broken, and the Shu general will also die in battle." ”

Sima Zhao was still stubborn and refused to leave.

He is very conflicted in his heart at the moment, on the one hand, he hopes that the Wei army will win a complete victory, and on the other hand, he expects that the Shu generals will be able to show their might and kill them from the layers of encirclement of the Wei army.

Although the reason in his heart kept telling him that it was impossible.

But...... There was always a glimmer of hope in my heart.

Beauty is like jade, fierce generals are like clouds, and ministers are like rain.

The pursuit of beautiful things is a common secret in everyone's heart.

He was eager to see the final belonging of this Shu general.

That's the only reason he insisted on staying on the hillside and didn't want to leave.

Although, this glimmer of beauty in his heart may be buried by his father's own hands.

The time of the night passed quickly.

At dawn, a personal soldier suddenly came to pass the word, "General, the Governor of the Metropolitan captured three spies of the Shu army last night, and after interrogation, it was found that they were the sentinels sent by the Shu generals to ask for help. ”

"Oh!" Sima Zhao was still lying in the tent, he shook his head, and his head was groggy.

Apparently didn't sleep well last night.

I didn't understand it for a while.

"The Governor of the Metropolitan killed the three spies of the Shu army?"

The soldiers replied: "The Governor personally ordered them to be released, and also gave them three sets of Wei army uniforms. ”

"Why?"

Sima Zhao suddenly turned over and sat up.

What a smart man his father was, why would he catch the spies of the Shu army and release them instead, this is obviously unreasonable.

There's got to be greasy in there.

Sima Zhao saw that the pro-soldier was speaking intermittently, obviously selling Guanzi, and his face suddenly sank, and he said, "What else do you know?" I can't say it in one breath, or the military stick will serve. ”

After hearing this, the soldier's face immediately fell, and he quibbled aggrievedly: "It was the Governor of Dadu who asked me to pass the word on my behalf, saying that he wanted to test you to see if you could figure out the key." ”

Sima Zhao's mood at the moment was in a mess, how could he have the heart to think about those details, and continued to drink with a straight face: "Don't say it quickly." ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

The soldier swallowed his saliva, and then he told the reason as it was.

Sima Yi has always envied Zhuge Liang as a fisherman, and this time he got his wish and became a fisherman once.

The Cao army sent three reinforcements to Gao Xiang to ask for help, and after Ma Tan was trapped for 2 days, the water shortage crisis appeared, and after organizing people and horses to rush and kill several times without success, he found that he was surrounded by the Wei army.

Sentinels were then sent to call for help.

Gao Xiang was ordered by Zhuge Liang to set up camp in a small city ten miles away, and then paid close attention to the movements of the Shu army in Jieting, and as a result, he received two letters of help from one after the other.

Suddenly it was a little difficult to do.

He only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and if he goes to the rescue, he can barely ask for help all the way.

How can you do both?

In the end, Gao Xiang made a trade-off in his heart, and after listening carefully to the information of the sentinels who asked for help, he found that the situation was more dangerous with fewer soldiers in Cao, while there were more soldiers in Ma, and the situation was slightly more optimistic.

If you go to save Cao Jun, the risk is too great, and you may even have to ride these 10,000 soldiers and horses.

The most important point is that Ma Jian joined the Northern Expedition of the Shu Army, and there is a friendship between teachers and students with Zhuge Liang.

This finally prompted him to make up his mind to save Ma Jian and give up Cao Jun.

Afterwards, Gao Xiang ignored the pleading of the three sentries sent by Cao Jun, and the army marched out, intending to relieve the siege of Ma Tan, and finally entered the ambush circle carefully prepared for him by Sima Yi.

The three sentries sent by the Cao army to ask for help, after asking for help to no avail, witnessed the destruction of Gao Xiang's 10,000 reinforcements, so they had to rush back overnight to report to the Cao army.

Unexpectedly, Cao Jun's situation is even worse now, he has been surrounded by the Wei army in the canyon on both sides, and after the three sentries summed up, they decided to take advantage of the night to smuggle in, and finally fell into the hands of Sima Yi.

And Sima Yi not only did not kill them, but instead sent them 3 sets of Wei military uniforms for them to disguise, and then released them.

After Sima Zhao washed his face, his thoughts gradually became clear.

immediately understood Sima Yi's purpose.

Then he gasped.

"This is a very poisonous plan!"

Isn't this to destroy the last trace of resistance of the Shu army?

Even if Sima Yi was his biological father, Sima Zhao felt cold all over his body, shrouded in a layer of fear.

In my heart, I was even more worried about Na Shu.

If...... After the Shu army, which was surrounded by regiments, learned that the reinforcements had been cut off, would its morale collapse and collapse without a fight?

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the canyon, interrupting Sima Zhao's reverie.

Looking from the uphill slope, I saw two Wei soldiers riding two war horses, and after jumping past the encirclement of the Wei army, one left and one right desperately accelerated towards the Shu army position in the middle.

This bizarre move immediately attracted the attention of the Wei soldiers who were standing guard around them.

Immediately, two groups of men and horses were divided into two groups and chased after the two Wei soldiers.

At the same time, another person wearing the uniform of a Wei soldier suddenly appeared from the hillside, jumped to the ground with a rolling belt, and also ran towards the Shu army position in the middle.

Even if the Wei army general on duty was a pig, he sensed that the situation was wrong at the moment.

He then resolutely ordered, "Release the arrows and shoot these three Wei pawns!" ”

Whoosh ......

A chaotic arrow flew towards the two Wei soldiers who broke through in front.

The two Wei pawns on horseback were quickly hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and even the people and horses were shot to death in place.

And the last Wei lord, because he didn't ride a horse, was more flexible.

With the help of the rocks on the side of the hillside, he dodged a rain of arrows, and also rushed towards the Shu army's position.

The movement of the outer ring also woke up the Shu soldiers.

After a while, Cao Jun rode a horse and rushed out in person.

He had a hunch in his heart that this unusual Wei pawn might be the sentry sent out to ask for help before.

They risked their lives to break through the siege in order to bring in the news of the arrival of reinforcements.

may join them inside and out, and rush out together.

This is the last hope to survive today.

The appearance of Cao's army also made the pursuing Wei soldiers nervous, and after they continued to let go of a rain of arrows, they cautiously chose to retreat.

did not receive Xu Huang's attack order, and they could not afford the consequences of fighting without authorization.

It was this last rain of arrows that knocked the last sentry to the ground.

Cao Jun was anxious and hurried over on horseback.

Worried that the Wei army would continue to shoot with bows and arrows, Cao Jun did not dismount, but picked up the sentries on the ground with a spear, put them on his horse, and brought them directly back to the Shu army camp.

The sentry had seven or eight arrows stuck in his body, and the corner of his mouth was covered with blood, and there was no chance of survival.

It's just the unwillingness and tenacious sense of mission in his eyes that are supporting him.

After returning to the Shu army camp, Cao Jun had just picked him up from his horse, and the sentry vomited several mouthfuls of blood in a row, and his face became more and more pale.

He struggled to tell a cruel message.

"General, Gao Xiang led 10,000 reinforcements to rescue Ma Yan, and was ambushed by Sima Yi's army, and now the whole army is wiped out, and our reinforcements are gone...... Gone...... Woooooooo ”

After the sentry completed his mission, he vomited a few more mouthfuls of blood, and the belief that he had been holding on to his life in the bottom of his heart collapsed.

In the end, he closed his eyes unwillingly.

And in the Shu army camp, the Shu pawns who heard this news were no less than a thunderbolt in the heart.

What has always supported them in resisting is the belief in survival.

And if you want to survive, in addition to Cao Jun's brave performance, it is the reinforcements that are about to arrive.

This is their last hope.

And now, the reinforcements are gone.

Is there still a need to insist?

Will we be able to break out of the encirclement of the Wei army?

Suddenly, there was the weak-minded Shu pawn, who sat on the ground with blank eyes and became painful.

The boy has tears and doesn't flick.

It was not a time of despair.

The desire for life and the care of their relatives in their hometown have supported them to resist until the last moment.

And now, that belief has begun to shake and threaten to collapse at any moment in the midst of crumbling.

Cao Jun's heart was also indescribably bitter.

He thought of his parents, if he died in this air, what would happen to his parents when they learned the news?

It must be heartbreaking.

The greatest sorrow in the world is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person.

It's just that my life has just begun.

After getting this adventure, as long as you live, you can trigger countless possibilities, and you will definitely live a more exciting life than those rich and powerful.

The premise is, to live.

Cao Jun's heart was already in turmoil, and he didn't care about the crumbling morale in the camp.

He stumbled to the carriage in the middle alone, and when he rolled over, his eyes finally regained some focus, and his eyes finally fell on the last unopened mass of wine.

A pessimistic desire to survive suddenly rose in my heart.

"If at the last moment, after I drink this jar of wine, with the blessing of strength, I should be able to escape, right?"

Cao Jun was not at all sure.

It's just that in this way, I have to carry the stain of abandoning my robe and escaping alone.

And after losing the street pavilion, he wasn't sure if Zhuge Liang would forgive him.

If his Northern Expedition is over, how will Ma Chao's revenge be completed?

If you can't complete Ma Chao's mission, how can you leave this space?

Whether it was out of human nature or to leave this space after completing the task, Cao Jun didn't want to give up.

If Zhuge Liang learned that Sima Yi's army had attacked Jieting, he should have rushed to support, right?

It's been 3 days now.

Can you hold out until Zhuge Liang's reinforcements arrive?

Cao Jun sat blankly for a while, holding the wine jar with one hand, groping aimlessly on it, and finally, somehow, his eyes fell on the neglected snare drum again.

The snare drummer boosts morale too.

Today's Shu army, I'm afraid it needs this snare drum even more.

The ghost sent the gods, Cao Jun picked up the drumstick and beat it on the drum again and again.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The snare drum emitted a low, rhythmic vibrating sound that soon reached the ears of all the Shu soldiers.

They all looked at Cao Jun in the carriage.

I saw Cao Jun slowly beating the snare drum again and again, and after attracting the attention of all the Shu troops, he suddenly opened his mouth and roared out an unfamiliar sentence.

"Pride in the face of thousands of waves......"

"Blood is like the red sun......"
