Cheng Ming followed Guo Tong into the camp, originally wanting him to report and then ask for a meeting, but he didn't want Guo Tong to be responsible for his father's entry into the account, so he didn't have a chance, so he had to wait for the summons on the sidelines. Seeing Guo Huai's scolding of his son clearly, he couldn't help but admire it very much, and thought secretly: With such a good general, can Shu Hanyan win? At this moment, he was close to Guo Huai, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug his fists and said: "The general governs the army strictly, and I am deeply admired." ”

Guo Huai didn't know Cheng Ming, and when he saw a stranger leaning forward to salute, he couldn't help but take a few more looks. But he felt that the other party had a calm bearing, a lofty spirit, and the style of a general, but he had never seen it in the camp, so he asked, "May I ask who the general is?" Ma Bing was also on the side at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is General Cheng Ming under the command of Sima Zhenjun in Wancheng." Guo Huai was secretly ashamed, fortunately he was not the general in his own camp, otherwise such a talent had not been discovered, and it was really ashamed of the court.

Hearing Ma Bing's introduction, Guo Huai guessed the other party's intention, although he cherished Cheng Ming's talent in his heart, he had to sink his face now, and said coldly: "Please General Cheng talk in the account." He didn't reply, but walked back to the tent. Cheng Ming was also very unhappy when he saw Guo Huai like this, but the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Wancheng were hanging in his hands, so he had to enter the account with Ma Bing.

I didn't want Guo Huai to lie on the back tent, and while asking the sergeant to apply medicine to himself, he summoned the two of them and asked, "What did Sima Zhongda do to make you come?" Cheng Ming saw that he was arrogant, and became more and more angry, but thinking about the huge task of this trip, he forcibly suppressed his anger and replied: "Lord Wei sent Cao Zhen to attack Wancheng with more than 200,000 soldiers, day and night. There were huge casualties in the city, and they couldn't support it, so General Sima sent a special general to ask for help......"

Without waiting for Cheng Ming to finish speaking, Guo Huai turned his head and scolded the sergeant who rubbed the medicine behind him: "Light." Interrupting his speech, he said: "This general also knows that the war in Wancheng is tight, but there are not many soldiers and horses in our department, and if we want to compete with Cao Zhen's army, it is tantamount to driving sheep into the tiger's mouth." The heart is more than enough, but the strength is insufficient. Cheng Ming listened to his tone, that is, he was unwilling to send troops to rescue, and his tone suddenly changed greatly, and he said coldly: "The former, General Zhao, sent Master Ma to Wancheng to surrender, and promised that if Cao Zhen attacked Wancheng very urgently, he would send troops to rescue, and the general would break his promise at this moment?" ”

"Presumptuous." Guo Huainai said in a deep voice: "The general has always treated people with faith, how can he do this unrighteous thing?" The general originally had a general order here, so that the general always paid attention to the battle in Wancheng and acted cheaply. General Ben also wanted to rescue Wancheng, but the soldiers were outnumbered, so he had to act carefully. A few days ago, he had sent people back to Jingzhou to dispatch troops and horses, and he expected to arrive soon. ”

The total number of troops in Jingzhou is not more than 100,000, Guo Huai attacked Fancheng this time, and raised 50,000 troops, which is already the limit of removing the garrison soldiers and horses of each county, where can there be soldiers? Cheng knew that he was just a prevarication, and he didn't care about anything else, so he said angrily: "When Lord Ma came to Wancheng to persuade him to surrender, everyone had doubts and didn't want to join him. Only General Sima thought that Shu Han was the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and General Zhao showed the world with benevolence and righteousness, but he never thought that they were all untrustworthy rats. At this moment, he was afraid that Cao Wei would be powerful, so he refused to send troops to rescue, so open-minded, how could he compete with Cao Wei and Sun Wu for the world? ”

Cheng Ming was extremely angry for a while, and scolded recklessly, and suddenly felt very happy in his heart. After scolding, I remembered that the reason why I came was to ask for help, and after scolding like this, I was afraid that not only would I not be able to move a single soldier, but even my own life would be buried here. Death, Cheng Ming is not afraid, but Sima Yi of Wancheng is still waiting for his news, and he must not be cut off in Guo Huai's camp, so he peeked at Guo Huai's face, but saw that Guo Huai's face had not changed, and he still had an indifferent look, as if he was not scolding him.

Guo Huai was indeed not annoyed, and refused to send troops to rescue, Cheng Ming's performance was within his expectations. After the other party finished scolding, Guo Huai slowly spoke: "The general's words are out of sight, Sima Zhongda understands the righteousness, and knows that my lord is the orthodox king of the world, and he can belong to the Han family, and his loyalty is commendable." It's just that the general is entrusted with the important task of the imperial court and the general, so he has to be responsible for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people in Jingzhou, and he can't ignore the country's livelihood because of a small gain for a while. Cao Zhen's army is strong, and General Ben can't let his subordinates suffer in vain. ”

"You ......" Cheng Ming suddenly understood that Shu Han's promise to persuade Sima Yi to surrender was just empty words, and he categorically refused to compete with Cao Wei's army for Wancheng, and understood that not only himself, but also Sima Yi was deceived, so he pointed at Guo Huai and was speechless. In the end, he could only snort heavily, shook his hand and turned around, and was about to leave the Shu military camp and rush back to Wancheng to pray.

"General, stay." Guo Huai called him out again, and Cheng Ming immediately had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and turned around and asked eagerly, "Has the general changed his mind?" Guo Huainai shook his head and said, "No." I just want the general to bring a message to Sima Zhongda, if it is unsatisfactory, but you can come to Jingzhou to be like-minded, the general will try his best to recommend it to the general, and still not lose the position of marquis. Cheng Ming listened to what he said, that is, Wancheng would definitely not be guaranteed, although he also thought so in his heart, he didn't want to listen to Guo Huai say it so clearly, so he said angrily: "Thank you for the general's kindness." Then he stepped out of the tent again, but he happened to hit a man head-on.

The person who came didn't seem to expect that someone would suddenly come out of the tent and be knocked to the ground, Ma Bing was behind Cheng Ming, saw the face of the person who came, hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said, "General Lin, please get up, why is it so in such a hurry?" "The person who came was Lin Yang, because he followed Zhao Shu back then, and he had been promoted to the position of general at this time. After being helped up by Ma Bing, he said, "General Guo can be in the tent?" It's Wancheng who has news. As he spoke, he entered the account with Ma Bing. Cheng Ming was originally going to leave, but now he heard the news of Wancheng, so he refused to leave immediately, and only stood outside the tent to listen. I only heard Lin Yang tell Guo Huai: "General, Wancheng has fallen into the hands of Cao Zidan......"

Cheng Ming was horrified in his heart, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, he broke into the account again and asked loudly, "Is this news serious?" Several sergeants outside the tent, only as if he was Guo Huai's guest, did not urge him to leave, and at this moment, seeing him rashly break into the tent, they also hurriedly followed up, wanting to take him out. Guo Huai waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and said: "General Ben has just heard about it, if you want to know the details, you have to wait for General Lin to come carefully." ”

Cheng Mingfang remembered that he had acted recklessly, so he confessed: "Please tell this general in detail." "Although Guo Huai is stationed in Xinye, he sends people and horses north every day to explore the battle in Wancheng, and when Guo Tong returns to the camp, it is when Lin Yang sets off. When Lin Yang got the news, he rushed to report it non-stop, and was just interrupted by Cheng Ming, and then continued: "The news is true. Cao Wei's army had entered Wancheng, but Sima Yi's father and son were nowhere to be found, and Cao Zhen sent men and horses to search everywhere. ”

Although Wancheng's strength was far inferior to Cao Zhen, when Cheng Ming left the city, there were still 30,000 soldiers in the city who could fight, and Sima Yi was known for his good defense, how could he be attacked by Cao Zhen in one day? I couldn't help believing it, but asked, "How did Cao Zhen break through the city?" Not only did Cheng Ming have this question in his heart, but even Guo Huai was puzzled, he was ordered by Zhao Shu to enter Xinye, which meant to capture Wancheng. As for what Fang Cai said about not sending troops, he just knew that Sima Yi of Wancheng could still hold out for a few days.

Zhao Shu has read the Three Kingdoms since he was a child, and the most impressive ones are Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, now Zhuge Liang is dead, only Sima Yi is left, and he must be a strong enemy. That's why he made a lot of efforts to provoke his relationship with Cao Wei, hoping to take the opportunity to eliminate the military power in Sima Yi's hands. That's why he repeatedly told Guo Huai that he must wait until Sima Yi's oil runs out before he can send troops to rescue, not that he doesn't want to take Wancheng, but he is afraid that Sima Yi's troops will be exhausted and he will make a comeback in the future.

When Cheng Ming came to ask for help, Guo Huai expected that since the other party could still escort the messenger out of the siege for help, he would definitely be able to hold out for a while, so he refused to send troops. But he never expected that the news of the fall of Wancheng would come immediately.

Lin Yang saw that everyone was puzzled, so he told the process of the fall of Wancheng in detail. But it was because Dai Ling was captured by Cao Zhen when he broke through. When Cao Zhen saw Sima Yi's treatment of the traitors, he threatened Dai Ling that if he refused to surrender, he would spread false news that he had surrendered to the Wei lord. Dai Ling's wife and relatives are all in the city, once this news reaches Sima Yi's ears, it will inevitably be a family, and Wancheng City is only broken overnight, Dai Ling has to surrender.

With Dai Ling as the internal response, and the soldiers in the city saw Sima Shi's treatment of young clan brothers, the army's heart was shaken, and the people's hearts were panicked. After Cao's army entered the city, most of them did not resist and were willing to abandon their weapons and surrender. So the victory and defeat were divided in only one day, but although Wancheng was broken, Sima and his son didn't know how to escape first, so Cao Zhen is now searching for Wancheng.

When Cheng Ming heard the news, he did not doubt him, and thought that the Lord would be safe, so he said goodbye to Guo Huai and wanted to go to Wancheng alone to find out the news. Guo Huai loved his talents and wanted to persuade him to keep him, but Cheng Ming repeatedly refused, so he had to give up and personally send him out of the camp. After returning to the account, Guo Huai urgently summoned Ma Bing to discuss, but neither of them expected that Wancheng would be breached so early, and there was no countermeasure, so they had to repair the book and fly the pigeon to report to Zhao Shu.
