When the Central Plains was auspicious, Liu Qi reached another peak of his life in the expectation of the people, but Sima Yi ushered in another darkest moment in his life.

Sima Yi went to Xiuwu, and at first he had a dispute with Cao Xiu because of the war, but the rest of the military affairs never interfered, and Cao Xiu's resentment gradually disappeared.

In the past half month, I saw Sima Yi strictly enforce military discipline, teach and perform formations, the military appearance was new, and the soldiers rekindled their fighting spirit, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Cao Xiu had an arrogant temperament, although he didn't want to admit it, he entrusted Sima Yi with full authority for everything in the camp, and according to his plan, he couldn't hold out.

When Ma Chao heard that Sima Yi had come to Xiuwu, he couldn't hold it back, left Ma Dai to guard Wen County, led 30,000 troops with Pang De, and killed Ben Xiuwu to take revenge.

Just when Cao Xiu thought that Sima Yi was going to send troops, he saw that he only trained in the camp all day, and even ate and stayed with the generals and schools, did not return to the pavilion, and turned a deaf ear to Ma Chao's scolding.

For several days, Ma Chao scolded very ugly under the city, not only scolding the Sima clan, but also the Cao Cao clan, Cao Xiu was furious, and chased him to the military camp to fight.

Sima Yi said: "The training of the soldiers has not been completed, the military formation has not been completed, and the Xiliang army is sharp, so it can only hold on, not fight." ”

"Ma Chao is the enemy of the military division!" Cao Xiu persuaded Sima Yi instead: "The hatred of killing my father is not shared, let alone the destruction of the clan?" Although Ma Chao wanted to avenge Chang'an, he killed innocent people, how cruel is it, and the military advisor is unwilling to take revenge? ”

Sima Yi's face sank like water, and he sighed: "The blood sea is deep, how can I forget?" However, the matter of using troops is related to the survival of the country, and the life and death of soldiers should not be rash. ”

Cao Xiu looked at Sima Yi in surprise, and saw that he was indifferent, so he had to endure it for the time being, and the reinforcements from Youzhou were coming at the same time, and the chance of winning together was greater.

When I returned to the mansion, I remembered Cao Cao's evaluation in my heart, Sima Yi was able to be so forbearant in the face of killing relatives and enemies, and he would not act rashly until he was very sure, which shows the depth of the city.

Unconsciously it was already autumn, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and suddenly one day Ma Chao led the troops to the city again, and actually picked up a head and ordered people to put it at the head of the suspension bridge, and scolded: "Sima old thief, a certain oath to cut off your children and grandchildren!" Seeing this head, why don't you come to fight with me? ”

The defenders took the head back to the city with a bamboo basket, but when they saw that it was a baby, Cao Xiu was furious: "Ma Chao, this thief, didn't even let go of the child? ”

Everyone didn't know the head, but guessed that it must be related to Sima Yi, Cao Xiu took the head to the barracks, Sima Yi was training on the platform, turned his head to look over, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he was shocked.

Cao Xiu was about to speak, but when he saw Sima Yi's eyes twitching and his teeth clenched, he waved the command flag, continued training, and shook the drums on the stage, even he didn't dare to interrupt rashly, so he had to stand aside and watch.

After a set of formation drills were completed in the middle of the day, Ming Jin withdrew his troops, Sima Yi took a few steps back, and barely stood firm by holding on to the flagpole, and Cao Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Before he could speak, he heard Sima Yi grit his teeth and tremble, "Please help me to the barracks." ”

Cao Xiu saw that Sima Yi's eyes were red and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he had bitten his teeth out of blood, and hurriedly helped him to the room.

"Poof-" Before entering the door, Sima Yi spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and his strength was lost.

Cao Xiu hurriedly picked him up and put him on the bed, and was about to pass on the doctor, but was grabbed by Sima Yi, shook his head and said, "Don't disturb the morale of the army." ”

Cao Xiu pointed to the head on the table and asked carefully, "Who is this?" ”

"Zhao'er—" Sima Yi looked at the head, covered his head with a quilt, and cried out in a sad voice.

Cao Xiu stood up in shock, looking at the head of the table in amazement, but he didn't expect that this was Sima Yi's second son, Sima Zhao, who saw that his parents and children were killed, and in order not to violate military discipline, he continued to train soldiers.

Seeing that the figure in the quilt trembled violently and let out a low and mournful wail, Cao Xiu suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart.

When Sima Yi stopped his grief, Cao Xiu clenched his fists and roared: "Ma Chao is so brutal, how can he be arrogant? A certain assistant division avenges this great revenge, and will send troops to fight to the death in the future! ”

"No!" Sima Yi lifted the quilt, only crying so much that blood was oozing from the corners of his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head: "I am ordered to meet the enemy, I can't abolish the public for private purposes, and the soldiers and horses are not successful, so I can't move lightly." ”

"Zhongda!" Cao Xiu said angrily: "If the husband has revenge and does not take revenge, what face does he have in the world? ”

Sima Yi took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years!" I am in a big mess now, and I can't plan for the general, so I hope to wait a few days, and I have my own strategy against the enemy. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, please stick to it for the time being. ”

Seeing this situation, Cao Xiu also knew that Sima Yi was indeed unable to lead the troops, so he comforted him for a while, and ordered his own soldiers to carry him back to the pavilion and send a doctor to treat and recuperate.

When he came to the city, he saw that the Xiliang army had already left, and he knew that the enmity between the two families was already an endless situation, and it was not impossible to break the Xiliang army again with Sima Yi's revenge.

Outside the city, Ma Chao immediately shot and waited for a long time, but did not see any movement of the Wei army, so he had to retreat back to the camp again.

Zhang Ren was shocked when he heard the report: "The flesh and blood of the closest relatives were killed, Sima Yi is still not out, this person is so forbearing, there must be a ruthless plan, it is better to temporarily shoot back the dog, thinking that it is a perfect plan." ”

Ma Chao said angrily: "A certain person has a deep blood feud with the Sima clan, and he will not die, how can he withdraw from the army?" ”

Previously, Zhang Ren was ordered to take Xiuwu, and Cao Xiu was one step ahead, so he had to shoot dogs and garrisons, which coincided with Xu Shu's demotion and Ma Chao's demotion, so he recuperated according to Xu Shu's plan and stabilized the territory.

Ma Chao heard that Sima Yi had come to Xiuwu and sent troops to take revenge, but Zhang Ren couldn't stop persuading him, so he had to send troops together, but the Wei army just couldn't hold out.

Seeing that Sima Yi didn't come to fight, Pang De simply slashed Sima Zhao, who had just been caught, and wanted to provoke Sima Yi to fight a decisive battle, but he didn't think that the other party would not send troops, which made Zhang Ren worried.

Pang De clenched his fists and said: "Cao Pi summoned and lured foreigners into the country, Cao Xiu must be stubborn and waiting for help, and he must not be allowed to succeed!" Please ask the general to allocate 20,000 troops, pay for the equipment, and the last general is willing to be the first to take the Xiuwu! ”

"Cao Xiu used his troops well and deployed them well, and attacking the city at this time would only cost his troops in vain." Zhang Ren shook his head slightly, and complained: "General Pang shouldn't use a knife on a three-year-old child, this move will definitely provoke the Wei army to hate the enemy, and it will be even more difficult to attack!" ”

"If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, it will be a disaster for the future!" Pang De snorted coldly: "General Zhang will blame me for communiqué personal vendetta and cruelty. Regardless of the matter of Chang'an, the innocent people who were flooded twice in Shouchun were all defenseless, how many of them were lonely and weak, and who would seek justice for them? ”

Zhang Ren was silent, frowned, and said: "Sima Yi has always been ruthless in doing things, and now he has a big enemy, if he is as happy as the two generals, he is not afraid!" However, if this person can be so forbearing, he must have a deep plan. The thief is like a tiger lurking, if he doesn't move, he will be killed, and he is worried about the two generals and the Xiliang army. ”

"General Zhang can't use soldiers?" Ma Chaoda was dissatisfied, and sneered: "Let him Sima be a dog thief and scheming, he will definitely die without a place to be buried, avenge the Xiliang army, and also remove this great trouble for the imperial court!" ”

Pang De clenched the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice: "If this thief is really still coming towards the Xiliang Army, I will kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”
