After sending away the envoy of Shu Han and his beloved son Sima Zhao, Sima Yi returned to his general's mansion and only felt a little prostration?.? In vain, he has always been led by others in the nose. As Zang Ai said, as long as Wancheng is still in his hands, Zhao Shu may not dare to do anything to Sima Zhao; And Sima Zhao went to Chengdu, with his ingenuity, supplemented by Zang Ai, or he could make a difference as planned. But an enemy like Zhao Shu has always made Sima Yi's heart uneasy, and it is really unknown what tricks and tricks there will be in the future.

"General......" shouted urgently, which brought Sima Yi back to his senses, and saw the general Cheng Ming hurriedly entering, and his expression was quite flustered. Recently, Sima Yi often feels panicked, but he can always remain silent, and at this moment he only asked lightly: "What's the matter?" Cheng Ming took a breath, and the words he said made Sima Yi almost jump up in shock, that is: "General, I just got a report from Chang'an, Wei Yan, the general of Han Zhenbei, raided Chang'an from the Meridian Valley and succeeded in one fell swoop, and now Chang'an has fallen under the rule of Shu Han." ”

Sima Yi only felt that he had fallen into a big mistake, originally thought that Zhao Shu would not rashly enter Chang'an before getting any reply from him, but he never thought that Zhao Shu would really dare to send someone to persuade him to surrender while sneaking up on Chang'an. What made Sima Yi even more annoyed was that such news came after he had just agreed to return to Shu Han. If this news could arrive one day earlier, then he would definitely not let his second son go to Chengdu, but would have to wait for Cao Zhen to withdraw from the army. Sima Yi was in a state of confusion at this time, and only shouted at Cheng Ming: "Quickly take someone to recover Zishang." Then he sat down weakly.

Only more than half an hour later, Cheng Ming went and returned again, but he did not take Sima Zhao with him as Sima Yi wished. Although Cheng Ming caught up with Ma Bing and his party, the other party threatened Sima Zhao's life, causing Cheng Ming to return in vain. Sima Yi could only wave his hand helplessly to let it retreat, since the sheep had fallen into the tiger's mouth, how could it be possible to let it spit out again? Since Sima Zhao had already been taken hostage by Zhao Shu, how could he be easily put back? But the only thing that made Sima Yi feel relieved was that Zhao Shu broke through Chang'an, Cao Rui would not return to calm, and the siege of Wancheng should always be resolved??. `

Sima Yi just thought of this, but his beloved disciple Deng Ai asked to see him again, and it was not good news, Cao Zhen turned Cao Xiu, and after Zhang He's department, he finally came to Wancheng. Sima Yi could only order the generals to defend and wait for the other party to retreat.

At the same time, in the main account of the Wei army, Cao Zhen's mood was not much better than Sima Yi, and he led his troops south, destroying the city all the way, and finally killed at the foot of Wancheng. However, the edict of the Son of Heaven also followed immediately, Wei Yan of Shu Han had already captured Chang'an, and the right general Xu Huang had no choice but to retreat to Tongguan, refuse to defend it, and wait for Cao Zhen's support army to go and recapture Chang'an.

After getting the news of the fall of Chang'an, Cao Zhen also wanted to return to help immediately, but he had to worry that Sima Yi would take advantage of the situation and go north to threaten Luoyang, so he had to make Zhang He lead his troops to defend Tongguan with Xu Huang, and he still came with Cao Xiu to attack Wancheng. But as soon as he arrived at the city, a spy came to report that there was once a banner embroidered with "Sima of the Marquis of Han Wancheng" on the city wall, but it was taken down again for some reason. Cao Zhen didn't know that it was just Sima Yi in order to convince Ma Bing that he was sincere and surrendered, and hung the flag sent by Zhao Shu in front of the city tower, and after Ma Bing went, he ordered someone to take it down. Cao Zhen thought that Sima Yi had surrendered Shu Han, but he had to replace this banner when he saw his army pressing down.

Sima Yi really surrendered Shu Han, Cao Zhen could not retreat, Chang'an and Luoyang still have Tongguan natural danger, but Wancheng and Luoyang did not have such a Xiongguan. Instead of the army going to stop Zhao Shu in Chang'an's westward advance, it is better to take the opportunity of the main force of the Han army in Chang'an to capture Wancheng and prevent Sima Yi and Guo Huai's combined forces from going north. After discussing with Cao Xiu and other generals, Cao Zhen personally wrote a piece of paper and sent it to Luoyang, imploring the emperor to let Xu Huang and Zhang Heer guard Tongguan first, but he still had to attack Wancheng, or go south to Jingzhou, which is farther south.

At the same time that Cao Zhen's report reached Luoyang, the news that Sima Yi had sent his son to Chengdu also reached Cao Rui's ears??.?? Such a blatant surrender to Shu Han, Cao Rui was furious, and immediately issued an edict to Cao Zhen, so that he could attack Wancheng with peace of mind, and let Yingxiang Hou Xin Bi hold the army to supervise the battle.

After Cao Zhen got the edict, he didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and from now on, Wancheng was surrounded on all sides, and more than 200,000 troops took turns to attack day and night. Within ten days, the corpses of Wancheng were pillowed, bleeding and drifting. The fighting was extremely fierce, with thousands of soldiers on both sides dying every day. Although Sima Yi had a strong city to rely on, he was outnumbered after all, and after a few days, he saw that nearly half of the casualties in the city were lost, and the offensive of the Wei army was still like a tide, and he did not have the slightest intention of retreating. I finally realized that since I had descended to Shu Han, in terms of geographical location, Wancheng's threat to Luoyang was far greater than that of Chang'an, and it was no wonder that Cao Zhen was biting himself. By now, Sima Yi regretted that it was useless, so he could only go to the city tower every day to supervise the battle, so as to boost morale, hoping to hold on until Guo Huai's reinforcements arrived.

But after half a month of fighting in Wancheng, not to mention Guo Huai, the entire Shu Han did not even send half a ghost to rescue. Sima Yi's heart only felt that he had fallen into the ice cellar, and at this time, Wancheng's combat strength was already less than 30,000, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to hold on for half a month. After 18 years of separating Wancheng, could it not finally get rid of the doom of being recaptured by Cao Wei? Holding on until sunset again, Sima Yi hurried back to the mansion to rest, knowing that Cao Zhen would command the army to attack the city frantically at night.

As soon as he slept with Jia in a daze, Sima Yi was woken up again, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his eldest son Sima Shi looking at him, with a very sad and angry look on his face, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Cao Zhen is attacking the city again? Sima Shi nodded and said, "The Wei army has begun to attack the city, and with Senior Brother Deng in command of the city, my father doesn't have to worry." Sima Yi could not rest assured, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the city together." Sima Shi stopped his father and said, "My son has one more thing to tell me, and I hope my lord can ......."

Sima Yi was worried about the war in the city, so he refused to listen to Sima Shi's words, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "If there is something, tell me quickly." Master Sima sighed and said, "The third uncle was unprepared by the guards at night, and he had already gone down the wall and took refuge in Cao Zhen. ”

The third uncle mentioned in Sima Shi's mouth refers to Sima Yi's third brother, Sima Fu. When Sima Yi wanted to seize Wancheng, the eldest brother Sima Lang secretly colluded with Cao Cao, but the third Sima Fu was a loyal supporter, often saying that he wanted to go to the soup for his brother and plan for great things. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Sima Fu was actually the first person to betray him, Sima Yi only felt a dizziness in his brain, his feet were unstable, and his body suddenly fell backwards.

When Sima Yi woke up again, he saw that there were already more Cheng Ming and Dai Ling. Looking at the slightly desperate expressions on everyone's faces, Sima Yi tried to get up and reluctantly smiled: "You are not guarding the city, why are you here?" Cheng Ming glanced at Sima Shi before he said: "Gongzi is worried about the general's body, and he doesn't want the general to speak out. But the stakes are very high, and the last general has to say that Sima Fu defected to Cao Zhen, and at this moment he stood under the city and shouted, claiming that the lord of Wei was virtuous, and only punished evil, not the rest. Many soldiers in the city saw that he could survive, and the army's heart was shaken, but they were afraid that it would be difficult to hold on. ”

"This brute." Sima Yi scolded angrily, causing him to cough continuously. Sima Shi hurriedly stroked his father's chest and back, and said: "Father, don't worry, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, and the grain and grass can last for a year." Cao Zhen attacked the city for days, and the casualties were only above our army, and it was already the end of the strong crossbow, so he only needed to hold on for a few more days, and he should retreat. ”

Sima Shi said this just to relieve his father, everyone present understood that Cao Zhen had not withdrawn from the army after the fall of Chang'an, let alone at this time? The Wei army must have made up its mind to capture Wancheng at any cost, and the situation in the city was even more worried. Not to mention the heavy casualties in the past few days, and Sima Fu, as Sima Yi's brother-in-law, surrendered in Kaicheng, the blow to morale can be imagined. Sima Yi looked at Cheng Ming and Dai Ling, and suddenly said: "That's it, the sky is going to kill me, and it is beyond human power to recover." The two generals have been with me for many years, and I can't bear to see the two generals die with me, so I would like to ask the two of you to go their separate ways while the city is still unbroken. ”

"Why did the general say that?" Cheng Ming suddenly knelt on the ground and sobbed: "The last general has been with the general for many years, even if the sword soldiers are added, there is just death, and Anken betrayed the general?" Now that the situation in the city is worrying, the last general thinks that Guo Huai will not sit idly by and watch Wancheng fall into the hands of Cao Wei, and asks the general to repair a book, and the last general is willing to fight out of the siege and ask Guo Huai for help. ”

Since the start of the war in Wancheng, Sima Yi has also pinned his hopes on Guo Huai in Xinye, but the war has become more and more fierce, but Guo Huai still has not sent a single soldier, and Sima Yi has become more and more aware that he has fallen into Zhao Shu's pocket. Every step he takes, it seems that the other party expects it; And what the other party did, he couldn't figure it out at all. Wancheng is the gateway to the south of Luoyang, as the Shu Han Empire, it is the frontier position of entering the Central Plains and recovering the Han Dynasty, how can Guo Huai watch Cao Zhen attack without moving? Even if you want to wait for the end of the bloody battle between the two families, and then send troops to take advantage of the fisherman, it is too calm.

The current Sima Yi no longer has any hope for Guo Huai at all, but now that the situation is in crisis, he has to open his mouth to agree to Cheng Ming's request. Sima Shi next to him saw that his father was silent, but he was worried about Cheng Ming's loyalty, and not only shouted: "What you said sounds good, in my opinion, you just want to take the opportunity to send the letter and switch to Cao Zhen." ”

Cheng Ming has been quite reused since following Sima Yi, and he is grateful for the great virtue in his heart, and he has no second thoughts, and at this moment he heard that the young general misunderstood his mind, kowtowed hard and bleed, and pulled out his sword in his hand, and said: "The last general has no such heart, if the general can't believe it, the last general is willing to die Mingzhi." ”

Sima Shi was originally a very scheming person, but today his uncle rebelled, and he was inevitably a little angry in his heart, so he spoke without consideration. Seeing Cheng Ming like this, he didn't know how to clean up the mess, so he really slapped his father on the face, and then Sima Yi shouted angrily: "How do you know the righteousness of General Cheng? Don't go and ask the general for guilt. Sima Shi happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, stepped forward and saluted: "The kid is rude, and I hope that the general will have a large number of Wang Han." Instead of being angry with my father, I sighed to myself, how can I use people like this?
