Xiahou Dun was ordered by Cao Cao to sneak to Wancheng overnight with his headquarters military horses. Bayi Middle School? Wenwang ? ???. ８?１?ｚ??．? In the early morning of the second day, C?o?m rushed to the city of Wancheng, and ordered the army to camp on the spot, rest for half a day, and then wave the army to attack the city.

The military horses in the city were really unprepared, and they rushed to the battle for a while, if it weren't for the brave general Cheng Ming, who led people to kill Xiahou Dun's subordinates who rushed to the city several times. Before Xiahou Dun left, he also had Cao Cao's instructions, knowing that Sima Lang was the internal response, so he was not in a hurry to break the city, but only gave the defenders of the city the illusion of a strong attack.

The battle lasted until the sky darkened, and there were many dead and wounded on both sides, and the corpses of the two armies were all over the city. Seeing that he had done enough, Xiahou Dun ordered the troops to be collected, and waited for Sima Lang to raise fire at night, and then rushed into the city and captured Wancheng in one fell swoop.

Cheng Ming, the defender of the city, was also relieved when he saw Xiahou Dun retreating, and ordered his soldiers to defend the city. After dinner, Cheng Ming went up to the city tower to inspect again, fearing that Xiahou Dun would attack the city overnight. But I heard the sergeant come to report that the major general had something important to see. Cheng Ming was stunned, Sima Yi had two sons, the eldest son Sima Shi, Zi Ziyuan; The second son, Sima Zhao, is still the word. However, they are not yet adults, and Sima Shi is also twelve years old, so he doesn't know what is the important thing to summon him?

Cheng Ming hurried to General Sima Yi's mansion to ask for a meeting, and the door of the family would enter to report, and after a while, he saw Sima Shi, who was only twelve years old, personally greet him and bow to him. Cheng Ming hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Young General, please don't be too polite." ”

Sima Shi got up, but said solemnly: "My brother's life is in the hands of the general, and he should do this great gift." ”

Cheng Ming was puzzled by what he said, and replied: "The young general can rest assured, if Cheng is here, there will be Wancheng, and he will live up to the general's trust." ”

"Okay." Sima Shi stretched out his little hand and pulled Cheng Ming and said: "It is enough to have the general's words, I still have something to discuss with the general, please come in and talk to me in detail." Cheng Ming couldn't help but feel broken, and secretly sighed that this young man was not ordinary.

After entering the lobby and sitting down, Cheng Ming asked, "The young general is looking for a certain person, I don't know what happened?" ”

Sima Shi looked around, asked the people to retreat, and then whispered: "Before my father left, there was a secret letter to me, saying that the army and horses of the King of Wei came to attack Wancheng, so I asked the general to open it together. After speaking, he took out a letter from his side and handed it to Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming was stunned, and he was also Sima Yi's confidant, but his talent was not as good as Deng Shizai, and he was not as close as Sima Lang, so he couldn't participate in anything that was too confidential. How can I have a confidential letter to myself? Immediately took the secret letter and hesitated: "Uncle is still in the city, you might as well invite him to come and see it together." ”

"Not necessarily." Sima Shi looked like he was in his chest, and said: "My father didn't let the uncle know about this, and in my opinion, it must have something to do with the uncle." The general still opened it himself and looked at it. ”

Cheng Ming nodded, then opened the letter, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, Sima Shi's guess was true, it was really related to Sima Lang. Sima Yi wrote in the letter that Sima Lang had colluded with Cao Cao and hoped that Cheng Ming would act cheaply. Cheng Ming returned the letter to Sima Shi and asked in a low voice, "What does the young general think?" ”

Sima Shi hurriedly looked at it and said, "Please also ask the general to be the master, and I will take care of everything." ”

Cheng Ming didn't plan to ask this twelve-year-old child to come up with an idea, but Sima Lang's status was noble, so he had to have a guarantee, and when he heard Sima Shi say this, he got up and said, "I'll go and take down the uncle." ”

"Wait." Sima Shi also got up and stopped Cheng Mingdao: "General, if my father just wants to take down the uncle, why do you want me to know now?" ”

Cheng Ming sighed secretly, such a simple truth, he actually wanted a child to remind him, so he said: "The last general understands." ”

Sima Shi nodded, and said: "Xiahou Dun is very urgent to attack the city during the day, presumably tonight the uncle will be the internal response, and the inside and outside should seize Wancheng." We might as well plan and lead Xiahou Dun into the urn to relieve the siege of Wancheng. ”

Cheng Ming nodded again and again, and said, "The young general's clever plan." ”

At this moment, a member of the family hurriedly ran in and said loudly: "Major General...... "Seeing that Cheng Ming was present, he immediately stopped saying nothing, and swallowed what he was about to say.

Sima Shi hurriedly said: "General Cheng is not an outsider, so it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

Only then did the general say: "Uncle has already taken his henchmen to the city gate." ”

Sima Shi's face was shocked, and he hurriedly said to Cheng Ming: "The general will go to stabilize the uncle first, and I will come later." Cheng Ming knew that the stakes were very high, and with a bow of his fists, he hurriedly left the house and came straight to the city gate, thinking that Sima Shi actually sent someone to monitor Sima Lang without knowing the content of the letter, and his scheming was really impressive.

Sima Lang was already standing on the city wall at this time, looking at the Xiahoudun army camp in the distance, and he was quite conflicted in his heart. The second brother has great ambitions, and he actually has two hearts for King Wei. Think that Cao Cao has been fighting a hundred battles since he begged for the Yellow Turban, and unified the Central Plains, how can he compete with Nanyang alone? Once the city is broken, won't the Sima clan suffer from the whole family?

Sima Lang was reluctant to take risks with his younger brother, so he secretly communicated with Cao Cao in private, hoping not to be connected with the Zhu, so as to protect Sima's lineage. Sima Yi took him away, Sima Lang repaired the book Cao Cao, and asked him to send troops to Wancheng to join him inside and outside, and he was going to open the door tonight to dedicate the city, and his two smart and clever nephews were probably implicated by their father, alas.

Seeing that the third watch was approaching, Sima Lang calmed down, just when Cheng Ming was not in the city, he could just raise the fire to open the door and welcome the Xiahou Dun army. was about to give an order, but he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and heard Cheng Ming shouting: "Why is Master Sima here?" ”

Sima Lang was slightly startled, hurriedly turned around, and said calmly: "I was worried about Xiahou Dun's sneak attack at night, so I came here to inspect it." ”

Cheng Ming knew it, but seeing that Sima Lang was surrounded by his henchmen, he had no choice but to say: "Don't worry about it, the general will naturally take care of it." ”

Sima Lang said with a smile: "The general works hard to defend the city during the day, just let me be here at night." Tomorrow, Xiahou Dun will attack the city, and he will count on the general. This is reasonable, and Cheng Mingzheng doesn't know how to answer. But I heard a childish child's voice say: "It turns out that the uncle is here." The two looked back together, but it was Sima Zhao, the second son of Sima Yi.

Sima Lang has always loved these two nephews, and today he felt guilty in his heart, seeing Sima Zhao's small body standing in the cold wind, his little face was red from the cold, so he asked softly: "Zishang, you don't sleep in the house, what are you doing here?" ”

Sima Zhao took two steps forward and whispered, "My nephew is scared, so I want to find my uncle together." ”

Sima Lang sighed again in his heart, and seeing that it was so early, he stepped forward and took Sima Zhao's little hand, and said, "Uncle, I'll send you back to the house." ”
