Cheng Ming had no two hearts, but at this moment, he was tossed by Sima and his son with a red face and a white face, and he was even more grateful in his heart, and he had the heart to repay him with death. was helped up by Sima Yi, and sobbed: "The general will not give up, the last general will take people out of the city, even if Guo Huai refuses to send troops to rescue, the last general will also rush back to the city to live and die with the general, if there is a different heart, ten thousand arrows will pierce the heart, and there is no place to bury him." With that, he raised his sword to cut off his finger as an oath.

Sima Yi is a treacherous old man, he knows all the generals under him very well, and he knows that Cheng Ming is loyal, so he categorically refuses to let him harm himself, and hurriedly stretches out his hand to stop him, saying: "The general doesn't have to be like this, the general is known to be righteous and rude, and I hope the general will not be surprised." Sima Shi couldn't stop apologizing before snatching the long sword from Cheng Ming's hand. Sima Yi replied: "The general is going alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the Wei army camp, and it is better to have one person to escort the troops." ”

Although Sima Yi did not say who would escort Cheng Ming out of the city, at this moment, in addition to Cheng Ming, there were only Sima and his son and Dai Ling in the room, and the implication could be understood by anyone. Dai Ling was quite knowledgeable, and without waiting for Sima Yi to say more, he stepped forward and said: "The last general is not talented, and I am willing to accompany General Cheng out of the city." Sima Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, so he instructed Sima Shi: "Go and fetch wine, and make a strong march for my father and the two generals." ”

Sima Shi was ordered to go out, and after a while, he brought his family to bring the wine, personally poured four lamps, and then presented one to his father. Sima Yi said: "General Cheng took risks alone to save the people of a city, and Wu'er should serve wine to the general first." Sima Shi had no choice but to say, "The child is confused." Then he presented the wine glass in his hand to Cheng Ming and said, "General, please use it." Cheng Ming didn't shirk at this moment, took it with both hands, and waited until the other three people also raised their wines in their hands before saying, "The last general will not be dishonored." Then he had drunk all his drink, and threw the cup of wine to the ground, and then he turned and went out, ready to go out of the city. Dai Ling also hurriedly followed.

"Two generals live together." Sima Yi hurriedly summoned him and said: "At this moment, Cao Zhen is attacking the city very urgently, although the general has the courage, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through, it is better to wait until dawn, when the Cao army retreats, it is not too late for the two generals to go out of the city." At this moment, you can take a break from the good life to recharge your energy and wait for the fierce battle. Cheng Ming and Dai Ling felt that Sima Yi's words were reasonable, and they hugged their fists and led their lives. Seeing the two leave, Sima Yi and his son were worried about the battle situation in the city, and they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they immediately dressed up neatly and rushed to the city tower together.

When the two arrived, the Wei army had been besieging the city for a long time, and many corpses had been added to the city walls. Deng Ai kept commanding everywhere, and it was difficult to support, seeing his teacher going to the city, he hurried to the front, and said: "Teacher, the situation is very bad tonight, Cao Zhen made Sima Fu surrender loudly under the city, and many sergeants were somewhat hesitant in their hearts, if it weren't for the disciples to kill a few people, I was afraid that someone would have crossed the wall and surrendered to the enemy." I also hope that the teacher will forgive the disciple for the crime of being specialized. Sima Yi knew that his younger brother had surrendered out of the city, which had dealt a great blow to the morale of the defenders in the city, and immediately said: "It's good to kill, but if you have the intention of surrendering, you don't need to ask more, just kill on the spot." Fu Xiang looked at the city for a while, and said, "Where is the third child?" ”

Deng Ai pointed to the dense place of Cao Jun under the city and said, "Isn't it under the fire?" Sima Yi lowered his "hmm", turned his head and said, "The third child knows that you are good at archery, and you don't dare to go too far." Deng Ai looked at the distance carefully again and said, "Although the distance is farther than when the disciples practice on weekdays, if they really want to shoot and kill, the disciples are still a little sure." It's just that Sima Fu is the teacher's brother-in-law, and unlike others, without the teacher's explicit, the disciple really doesn't dare. ”

Sima Yi snorted coldly, and said slightly angrily: "Since you have surrendered to the enemy, you will break off your brotherhood with me, you take a bow and arrow, just shoot it to death." Deng Ai got Sima Yi's clear order, so he no longer shirked, and took his treasure carved sandalwood bow from the side, stretched the bow and arrows, and pulled the string like a full moon. The finger was released, and the feather arrow was like a meteor catching the moon, shooting straight at Sima Fu. Deng Ai is not only outstanding, archery skills are also quite good, Sima Fu stood under the firelight again, Deng Ai saw very real on the top of the city tower, but the distance was too far, this arrow only hit Sima Fu's shoulder, and there was no worry about his life, the left and right Cao Wei sergeants hurriedly supported him and retreated dozens of steps, Rao is Deng Ai's archery skills are extraordinary, and he can only shake his head and smile bitterly, looking at it and sighing. Sima Yi also shook his head again and again, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Sima Shi next to him took the opportunity to take two steps forward and whispered a few words in his father's ear. Sima Yi was a little hesitant at first, but finally nodded and said, "You go." Deng Aizheng didn't understand what Sima Shi was doing in the city, and only after a while, he saw him turn around, but there were sergeants behind him escorting Sima Fu's young son. It turned out that Sima Shi saw his uncle dodging backwards, and knew that he was already outside the range of Deng Ai's archery, so he proposed to his father to escort the two young brothers to the city, hoping to let Sima Fu come forward and be killed by Deng Ai.

When Sima Shi explained clearly to Deng Ai, Deng Ai only felt that his palms were cold, Sima Fu betrayed his brother in battle, and it was okay to kill him, but his two young sons were the blood of the Sima family, how could he be so ruthless? Seeing that Sima Shi pushed his clan brother to the city, Deng Ai could only sigh, and secretly waited for Sima Fu to step forward again.

Sima Yi is treacherous and cunning, and the city government is deep, but the two sons under his knees are blue and even better than blue. Sima Shi put the long sword under his brother's neck, and did not feel the slightest softness, and shouted loudly: "If my uncle wants to save the lives of the two younger brothers, you can come forward and speak." Although when the two armies were fighting, Sima Fu's words may not be clearly understood by Sima Fu, who is far away in the city, Sima Fu can clearly see that his beloved son is under Sima Shi's sword by the light of the fire.

Cao Zhen came with a huge momentum, and Sima Fu thought that the troops in Wancheng were not enough to protect himself, but he was afraid that when the city was broken, the jade would be burned, so he secretly went out of the city to join the enemy, wanting to save his life and that of his family, so as not to cause the collapse of the Sima family. But he never thought that this precocious nephew would be ruthless, seeing a bright sword shaking on the neck of his beloved son, Sima Fu wanted to step forward, but he didn't dare, just hesitated slightly, and never answered, Sima Shi's sword fell early. It was probably because his sword was too sharp, and the kid didn't scream, so he was in a different place, and Sima Fu under the city suddenly had his heart and lungs split, and he spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

Sima Yi's original intention was just to force his younger brother to step forward and take the opportunity to shoot him, so as not to shake the morale of the army, and he didn't really want to kill these two young nephews, after all, both of them were only three or five years old, and they were immature in their mouths on weekdays, and they couldn't bear to kill them with their own hands at this moment. Seeing Sima Shi's sword rise and fall, Sima Yi didn't seem to be able to bear to look at it anymore, and wanted to stop it, but he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted for a while, so he let others see the joke, so he had to turn his face aside and not look at it anymore. As for Deng Ai, the hands holding the bow couldn't stop trembling, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

On the contrary, Sima Shi, who had just killed with his own hands, seemed surprisingly calm, and kicked the corpse of his brother off the city tower with one kick, and then caused the other one to be escorted to the front, ready to kill. When the child saw that his brother had been killed, he was so frightened that he burst into tears, and kept shouting, "Daddy, uncle." Let the generals of the two armies on the left and right of the city all listen to it with sadness.

At this moment, Sima Fu knew that his nephew, whom he had always loved, was so human-faced and beast-hearted, he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, ignoring the obstruction of the guards on the left and right, and shouted forward. Seeing his uncle approaching, Sima Shi hurriedly urged Deng Ai to release the arrows. Deng Ai's heart was surging at the moment, and it was inevitable that he would lose some accuracy in his hand, and an arrow was hurriedly shot, but it never hit Sima Fu. Sima Shi was furious when he saw it, and said loudly: "Senior brother, what do you mean by this, you need to know that you can't miss the opportunity, and you won't come back if you lose it." ”

Deng Ai was a little dissatisfied with what Sima Shi did tonight, and he was robbed of white at this moment, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, and he was about to argue with him, but he saw that the teacher Sima Yi also glared at him fiercely, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with his mistake. Deng Ai had no choice but to swallow his words, take another feather arrow and shoot it at Sima Fu. At this moment, Sima Fu ran forward for a long distance, Deng Ai was photographed by Shi Wei, and he didn't dare to be the slightest sloppy, and the feather arrow left the string and went straight to Sima Fu's chest. With a "poof", he passed through his chest, and his angle and strength were extremely close, Sima Fu fell to the ground, and saw that he was not alive.

When Sima Shi saw that his uncle was shot by Deng Ai, he realized that his plan had been accomplished, and immediately stabbed his younger brother to death with another sword, and shouted loudly: "The soldiers in the city, no matter how dare to defect, take this as an example." Deng Ai didn't want to shoot Sima Fu himself, but Sima Shi still refused to let go of the child, changed color, and threw the longbow on the ground with all his might. Sima Yi couldn't help frowning, but seeing that the soldiers on the left and right were all intimidated by Sima Shi's fierce momentum, he couldn't help but nodded, the morale in the city is like this, if you don't use this thunderous method, I'm afraid that someone will continue to follow Sima Fu's example.

Cao Zhen was in the rear, and when he saw Sima Fu being killed, he also felt that he had lost something, and he originally wanted him to surrender loudly under the city with a special identity, so as to confuse the morale of the soldiers defending the city, but he didn't want to be such a result, and he sighed softly in disappointment. However, Xin Bi, the overseer next to him, saw that the commander was unhappy, so he said: "Sima Yi acts like this, and he will be defeated." ”

Wei Yan, the general of Shu Han Zhenbei, had already broken through Chang'an at this time, and the Wei lord had an edict to make Cao Zhen move his troops westward, but it was Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu who made a statement that they would destroy Sima first, and then fight Chang'an. Not long ago, Wen Qin, the left-behind general of Runan, had another military report that said that Ling Tong and Sun Huan, the generals of Eastern Wu in Huainan, were also integrating troops and horses, and they were ready to move. Now the situation is quite unfavorable to Cao Wei, the battle in Wancheng, Cao Zhen intends to fight quickly, hearing Xin Bi say this, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask: "Why did your lord say this?" ”

Xin Binai chuckled and said, "The general has led the troops for many years, don't you know the way to be a general?" Sima Fu and Sima Yi were siblings born to the same mother, but at this moment, they couldn't help but shoot them, and even their young sons refused to let go, which could certainly deter the soldiers in the city. But in this case, isn't everyone in the city in danger? Even if your own brother is like this, let alone others? In vain, Sima Yi was smart, but he was confused for a while at this moment, once he lost the hearts of the army and the people, Wancheng could go down in a few days. The words are quite reasonable, but it is difficult to say what the success or failure will be, Cao Zhen can only nod silently, and wave his army to continue the attack. It was not until the sky turned white that the order was given for the temporary withdrawal of troops.

The Wei army attacked day and night, although it was a 200,000-strong army in rotation, but it was also very tired, and it was easy to wait for the main general to order a retreat, except for a few broken rear troops, the rest of the troops seemed a little disorderly. In the first few days, Cao Zhen couldn't help but send people to order the generals to rest and recuperate, and he felt tired and gradually relaxed in the past few days. Anyway, Wancheng Sima Yi only had defensive skills at this time, and had no power to fight back.

However, everything is always unsatisfactory, Cao Zhen's army just moved, and then heard that the rear army was in chaos, and without waiting for someone to investigate, a sergeant came to report, and a brigade of soldiers and horses was killed in the city, which was menacing, and the troops left behind were difficult to resist. Since the siege of Wancheng, the soldiers and horses in the city have not gone out of the city to meet the battle once, Cao Zhen was not only impressed, but also hurriedly ordered the army to turn back to meet the enemy. But it is easy to give an order, but it is difficult to execute, as the saying goes, "one blow", since the Wei army has received the order to retreat, they all want to return to the camp as soon as possible to rest, the momentum has been discharged, and it is difficult to recover. Although under Cao Zhen's strict orders, he returned to meet the battle, but it was far less effective than attacking the city at night.

And the soldiers and horses killed in the city were Cheng Ming, and the men and horses led by Dai Ling and the others to break through the siege, although there were only a few hundred horses, they were all fighting to the death, like a sharp knife, straight into the Cao army's formation. The left protrusion is unstoppable. In addition, Cheng Ming only hoped to break out of the encirclement and asked Guo Huai for help, but he was not in love with war, but just looked at the gap between Cao's few soldiers. Although Cao Zhen is also a famous general of the Wei State, the tens of thousands of troops are far less convenient and flexible than the hundreds of horsemen who are commanded, just like an elephant, it is always very difficult to trample a mouse to death.

After a long battle, although the men and horses who broke through were all dead, Cheng Ming finally broke out of the encirclement and threw himself all the way to the south. Riding a horse and galloping for more than ten miles, Cheng Ming looked back left and right, and there were only more than 20 horsemen left, and Dai Ling had already been scattered in the chaos. At this moment, everyone was sleepy and tired, and Cheng Ming had to order to slow down the speed of the horse, so that he could rest on the horse and store horsepower.

After traveling a short distance like this, he could hear the sound of hooves behind him, but it turned out that Cao Zhen saw that someone was breaking through and coming south, and knew that Sima Yi must have sent someone to Xinye to ask Guo Huai for help, and immediately sent a team of cavalry to chase and kill along the way, hoping to intercept the messenger. Cheng Ming saw that there were few people on the left and right, so he didn't dare to turn around to fight, so he had to give the order to fight the horse forward, and everyone only shot behind with bows and arrows, hoping to reach Xinye as soon as possible.

The two groups of men and horses chased and chased in this way, and traveled for dozens of hundreds of miles. The Wei army had a large number of horses, about 1,000 horsemen, and although their archery skills were not as good as Cheng Ming and his subordinates, after dozens of people were killed and wounded, they also shot Cheng Ming's left and right more than 20 horsemen to death. Cheng Ming was also injured in many places, and his arrows were exhausted, so he could only saddle up and ride his horse, it was good to be able to escape to Xinye, but if he died on the spot, it was only providential.

After traveling for several miles, he turned a crossing, but there was a Biao army and horse blocking the road in front, and the pursuers behind were still in hot pursuit. Cheng Ming knew that he couldn't avoid it, but he robbed the horse, and wanted to repay Sima Yi's kindness with a death.
