Chapter 14: Crisis

On the south bank of Weishui, Guo Huai personally led a large army to cross Weishui in the upper reaches of the Wei River, and suddenly appeared behind the Shu army, which made the Shu army extremely frightened.

Zhuge Liang was in danger and ordered Wang Ping to lead 10,000 Wudang Flying Army to intercept Guo Huai, and Guo Huai must not be allowed to get close to the Chinese army.

Otherwise, the Chinese army will be shaken, then in this decisive battle, the Shu army will be defeated and lost, and the losses will be heavy.

Fortunately, Wang Ping was very brave, and his Wudang Flying Army was even the elite of the world, and successfully blocked the Yongliang Army led by Guo Huai behind Zhuge Liang, so that Guo Huai could not advance another half a step.

There was a stalemate between Wei and Shu again, but the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Shu army.

Under the attack of Sima Yi and Guo Huai from both sides, the Chinese army led by Zhuge Liang only relied on high morale and did not retreat.

Once the war lasts, this morale will decrease with the passage of time, and if Guo Huai breaks through Wang Ping's defense, or Sima Yi breaks through Zhuge Liang's advance, then the Shu army's 100,000 troops will be in danger.

Liu Yu had recovered from prostration at this time, and in his opinion, the current Shu army had no chance of turning the tables at all.

Guo Huai is a famous general in Guanzhong, and his subordinates are Yongliang soldiers who are waiting for 30,000 workers.

Although Wang Ping was brave, the gap in numbers was there, and Guo Huai would be able to break through Wang Ping's defense line sooner or later and impact the back of the Shu army.

At that time, even if Zhuge Liang personally supervises the army, the Shu army will definitely be defeated.

Liu Yu couldn't help but open his mouth and admonish Zhuge Liang:

"Prime Minister, the situation is unfavorable today, it's better to retreat early and fight again in the future!"

Yang Yi glared angrily at Liu Yu, although he also wanted to persuade Zhuge Liang to withdraw from the army, but he knew Zhuge Liang better.

Knowing that Sima Yi had an ambush, Zhuge Liang still dared to insist on marching and wanted to fight Sima Yi, if Zhuge Liang had no back hand to reverse the situation, Yang Yi would not believe it.

In addition, so far, Wei Yan has not appeared, and Yang Yi feels that Wei Yan must be the winner arranged by Zhuge Liang.

"The prime minister has his own arrangements for this matter, you are a general, what qualifications do you have to question the prime minister's decision??"

Yang Yi looked at Liu Yu very unpleasantly, and she was about to ridicule when she seized the opportunity.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said:

"Dexing is not in a hurry, things still have a turnaround, and wait quietly."

Liu Yu had long noticed that Wei Yan was not in the camp, but Liu Yu did not have much hope for Wei Yan.

Because just now he secretly counted the number of the Shu army, the forwards Ma Zhong, Zhang Wei and Meng Yan led 30,000 tiger infantry troops, and Wang Ping led 10,000 Wudang Fei troops.

Coupled with the 50,000 Chinese army led by Zhuge Liang, the main force of the Shu army is basically all here.

You must know that Zhuge Liang only brought 100,000 troops with him in this Northern Expedition, so that Wei Yan has no one else except for his own 2,000 people.

And 2,000 people want to turn the tables against the wind, Liu Yu is really hopeless.

That's why Liu Yu thought about letting Zhuge Liang withdraw his troops, after all, if he retreats now, he can safely withdraw to the camp.

Otherwise, it may really be a mountain of defeat, if these 100,000 troops die here, then Shu Han will not even last for thirty years, and they may be destroyed by Sima and his son.

However, seeing Zhuge Liang's confident appearance, Liu Yu could only swallow back the words in his mouth, after all, Zhuge Liang's thoughts, how could Liu Yu guess through?

The battle is still ongoing, but the situation on the field is also developing in the direction of Liu Yu's conjecture.

Guo Huai was pressing step by step, and Wang Ping was desperately blocking it, but Liu Yu felt that Wang Ping was already at the end of his crossbow.

Maybe the next moment, Guo Huai will break through the line, and then Guo Huai will attack the back of the Chinese army and give Zhuge Liang a fatal blow.

Xiahou Ba and Sun Li on the front line also seemed to know that the battle situation had reached a critical moment, and they dragged Jiang Wei to prevent Jiang Wei from leaving the battlefield.

Even if it is to fight for his life, he must leave Jiang Wei in place.

At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Shu army has reached a critical moment and may collapse at any time.

Sima Zhao stood beside Sima Yi and said with great joy when he saw this:

"Father, the Shu army can't hold it anymore."

"As long as Guo Tingshi breaks through Wang Ping, he will be able to fight with us on both sides, break the Shu army, and be ashamed of his father."

"Haha..."

Sima Zhao seemed to see the scene of Zhuge Liang being defeated and his father taking revenge, and laughed out loud.

But after laughing twice, Sima Zhao found that his elder brothers Sima Shi and Sima Yi were not laughing, so he couldn't help but stop laughing with some embarrassment, and asked in a low voice:

"Father, isn't what the son said right?"

Sima Yi did not answer Sima Zhao, but turned his head to look at Sima Shi and asked:

"What do you think?"

"Zhuge Liang knows the danger, but he insists on not retreating, there must be fraud."

Sima Shi muttered:

"Now Jiang Wei Liaohua has appeared, but Wei Yan, the general of the Shu army, has not yet appeared, presumably Wei Yan is Zhuge Liang's backhand."

Sima Zhao was taken aback, and then remembered that the first fierce general under Zhuge Liang's account, Wei Yan had not yet appeared.

And Sima Yi asked again:

"Where do you think Wei Yan should be?"

"Our army battalion!"

Sima Shi replied categorically:

"Zhuge Liang wants to turn the tables in a desperate situation, only by attacking our army's camp and burning our army's grain and grass can it be possible to turn defeat into victory."

Sima Yi looked at his eldest son with admiration.

Although Sima Shi was disliked by Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming because of the flashy case, and was even ordered by Cao Rong never to be hired, but under Sima Yi's teaching, Sima Shi became more and more stable and no longer flashy before.

If it weren't for Cao Ei's will, the current Sima Shi would have already entered the Shi early, and with the help of the families of the various alliances of the Sima family, he might even have entered the central government.

It's like now, it's still a white body, and there is no half of it.

However, Sima Yi felt that this matter was a blessing rather than a curse for Sima Shi, and in the past few years by Sima Yi's side, Sima Shi has become more introverted and calm.

The original glitz is gone, making Sima Shi look more gentle and elegant.

"My son, yes!"

Sima Yi was still praising his eldest son, and the youngest son next to him, Sima Zhao, couldn't sit still.

Hearing the analysis of these two people, Sima Zhao no longer felt that his side could win.

What he wants now is to hurry back to protect the camp, and he must not let Wei Yan steal his family, otherwise this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity may be missed.

At that time, it is even possible to be defeated by Zhuge Liang, and his father will be severely reprimanded by Emperor Wei.

"Father, the child is willing to order the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and go back to guard the camp."

Saying that, Sima Zhao turned his head and planned to leave, time is not waiting, and now he doesn't want to stay for a moment.

But before he left, he was stopped by Sima Shi on the side.

"You don't have to go back, it's a waste of effort to go back now, it is estimated that Wei Yan has already arrived before you rush back."

Before Sima Shi's words fell, the Wei army camp in the rear sounded a heaven-shattering shout of killing.

I saw a cavalry, almost two thousand in number, from Wugong Water to the east, straight to the Wei army camp to kill.

The man at the head was wearing a helmet and armor, majestic, his face was like a heavy jujube, and he was holding a big knife of more than fifty catties, which was Wei Yan.
