Chapter 189: Sima Zhao, Game Theory
As mentioned last time, the special forces had already taken care of the tax customs, and they could leave the territory of Wei along the customs pass, who knew that at the critical moment, Sima Zhao, the kid, shouted loudly in the carriage and exposed their party.
Originally, Sima Yi's family thought that Cao Pi had sent someone to take them away, which made them give up resistance. However, after fleeing for so long along the way, they have long been suspicious, and it stands to reason that if the emperor of their Wei State wants to do something to them, it is also to find a place to deal with them in Xuchang City.
Even if they wanted to leave the city, at most they would only be not far outside the city, but these sturdy men led them all the way south, and after walking for so long, Old Madam Sima suspected that they had gone out of the scope of the Wei State.
By this time, the answer was already coming out, these people who took them were definitely not people sent by Cao Pi, they were most likely sent by the two enemy emperors of Eastern Wu or Shu Han.
If this is the case, it is not difficult to further speculate that the purpose of their arrest of these old and weak women and children is to deal with their son Sima Yi.
After knowing this answer, Mrs. Sima quit, and she kept opening her mouth to test the identity and purpose of the special forces. The special forces are naturally tight-lipped as tight-lipped as they are. Seeing that she couldn't get an answer from the special forces, she tried to escape again, but it would be a joke if a group of old and weak women and children could successfully escape in front of the special forces who were more than twice as many as them.
Unable to escape, these Sima Yi's family members had no choice but to open their mouths to insult the special forces. If you can't beat people, you can rely on your words to bargain, which is probably the only thing these women can do. The psychological element of the special forces is not ordinarily strong, and they can naturally fight back and scold without returning the blow, so their abusive tactics will not work at all.
In this way, they came all the way to Zhangling County, and when they arrived in Zhangling County, because they had to pass the tax customs, the special forces were afraid that they would make something happen when they passed the customs, so they tied them up, and at the same time stuffed cloth balls in their mouths to prevent them from making sounds, which is why the carriage was surrounded by cloth curtains.
Because these captives were all old and weak, women and children, the special forces treated them more favorably along the way, did not tie them up and gag them, but only limited their range of activities, and only took measures to bind them until they were close to the customs customs.
Sima Zhao, a little kid, was young, but he was very ghostly, he first pitifully begged the special forces who escorted him not to tie him up, saying that the rope was too painful to tie up, and then swore that he would not mess around.
The special forces naturally wouldn't listen to him, and still tied him up, but taking care of him as a child, he didn't tighten the rope too tightly, and the special forces thought that he was watching from the side, and he couldn't turn over any wind and waves if he was a little kid.
However, I didn't expect this Sima Zhaoren to be a big ghost, he was sitting on his knees in the carriage, his hands were tied behind his back, but his knees were bent against his chest, as long as he bent his head down, his knees could reach his mouth.
When the caravan arrived at the customs customs, the special forces were on full alert, although they sent people to deal with those officials, but no one could guarantee that these officials would not have a head convulsion and do something irrational.
Therefore, the special forces must be vigilant, once an accident occurs, they will go all out to kill the tax customs and fight a bloody way back to the territory of Shu.
Sima Zhao took advantage of the fact that the special forces escorting him turned their attention to the official outside the carriage, slowly lowered his head, clamped the cloth ball stuffed in his mouth with his two knees, pulled it out suddenly, and then shouted loudly.
He hoped that Tong Guò's call would attract the attention of the Wei officials outside, and then mobilize a large group of men and horses to surround them and rescue them. I have to say that although Sima Zhao is smart, he is still a child after all, and it is not appropriate to consider the problem.
Even if the other adults didn't tie them up and stuff their mouths, they didn't dare to call for help at this time. It's very simple, now there are two big men with sharp blades next to everyone, as long as they dare to make any changes, two more holes in their waists are light, and they will take off their heads in an instant.
They had seen with their own eyes how these special forces cut melons and vegetables at the back gate of Sima Mansion and slaughtered those family guards, and they absolutely believed that those gods would kill them like chickens, and they wouldn't blink their eyes.
Therefore, they don't dare to act rashly if they cherish their lives, only Sima Zhao, a little kid, didn't think that things would go so deep and didn't know that there was such a danger, so they would do such a thing.
This is the fearlessness of the ignorant, but, from another point of view, maybe he didn't think too simply, but thought too thoroughly, maybe he calculated that those special forces didn't dare to kill them at all?
Maybe he thinks that his people still have use value, and this use value is huge, otherwise these thieves would not have spent so much money to get them out of Xuchang, since these people are so important, then they will definitely not kill themselves and others lightly.
Of course, this involves a very deep knowledge of game theory, which is not something that Sima Zhao, a little kid, can think of, in fact, ordinary people can't think of it so deeply, only some resourceful people can think about it.
But today, this little kid Sima Zhao stumbled into the right one by mistake, even if Sima Zhao made such a big mess this time, the special forces guarding him were still reluctant to kill him, and just knocked him unconscious with a knife.
However, Sima Zhao's shout did cause trouble. Those officials were stunned when they heard it, if it was an ordinary person, even if they called for help, they could ignore it, since these strong men had given two dozen silver points, they should turn a blind eye.
Even if they encounter things that only the underworld can do such as human trafficking and human trafficking, they will also turn a blind eye. Even human smuggling, they have not seen it uncommonly.
But when it comes to Sima Yi, it's different, who is Sima Yi? That was the governor of Wei, a super bull who led an army of 200,000 to fight against the Shu army, and his position in the Wei dynasty can be described as pivotal.
If it was really his family in the carriage, then this matter would be a big deal, and it would be a big event. Even fools know what these people want to do when they capture Sima Yi's family.
Once they succeed, not only will Sima Yi and his 200,000 troops be in danger, but these scum who are close to Xiangyang City will definitely face the trampling of the iron hooves of Shu immediately.
At that time, even the entire Wei State will be in danger, because if the 200,000 troops are lost, the national strength of the Wei State will inevitably be greatly damaged, and at that time, it will not be far from the destruction of the country.
The servants hated the child who cried for help, and they wished they had never heard it. Now they are in a dilemma, should they save or not save these Sima Yi's families? tobeornottobe, that's a real problem.
