Chapter 117 Sima Yi's doubts
"Why, the lord was defeated and returned to Nanzheng?" Guo Huai was a little astonish and then asked.
"Exactly, this is a letter written by the Lord. General, please take a closer look!" While talking, the person took out a letter and handed it to Guo Huai. The latter took a quick look at it immediately, but it was Sima Yi and Lu Xun who confronted Wuxiang, but was defeated by Lu Xun with fire. As a result, he was now forced to return to Baocheng and asked Guo Huai to divide some soldiers and horses to rescue.
"So, where is the lord now and how many soldiers are there?" After watching it, Guo Huai said quietly. No one knew that General Guo in front of him had defected to the enemy, let alone that the 10,000 people behind him were wolves in sheep's clothing. He hurriedly replied, "The main soldiers returned to Baocheng. At present, the troops are not enough, only thousands of people. The lord said that he wanted General Guo to send troops back, and asked General Guo to go as soon as possible... Ah!"
"Sure enough, Sima Yi is almost at the end of the road!" Looking at the messenger who fell in front of him, Zhao Feng thought about it.
"General, are we going to attack Baocheng now?" Niu Jin asked after waving the blood stains on the knife.
"No need. Although Baocheng is a strong city, the grain and fodder are supplied by Nanzheng, so it's better to take Nanzheng first and cut off its grain road. In this way, Sima Yi will have to be defeated." Zhao Feng said lightly. Don't care about your five-dou rice road, it's the fairy road. I don't believe you can't eat. At this moment, Zhao Feng urged the army to continue to go to Nanzheng City, and finally arrived at Nanzheng City after an hour.
"Open the door, I'm Guo Huai!" Looking at the guarded defenders on the head of the city, Guo Huai greeted first. The garrison at the head of the city motioned him to wait for a while. Soon, an extremely ugly woman came and asked, "Boji, the king is trapped in Baocheng. You'd better go to Baocheng first to help the king repel the invading enemy!"
"It seems that this is Zhang Chunhua!" Zhao Feng muttered in his heart that it really made people unable to eat. The performance of the soldiers behind him is even more unhelpful, and there have been a lot of discussion. Zhao Feng quickly motioned them not to make a fuss, so as not to be seen by Zhang Chunhua.
"Madam Mingjian, Guo Huai came lightly. There is not enough food and fodder, and it needs to be supplemented by the advanced city!" Guo Huai explained that this excuse is relatively reasonable. It is true that there is not much on everyone.
"Well, what about the mediocre enemy?" Zhang Chunhua seemed to be a little worried and continued to cross-examination.
"After the mediocre enemy was dug by me, there was little left in the submerged land. At present, General Wang Shuang is staying in the city, and I will lead the army to join the lord!" Guo Huai really has two mistakes, and there is no flaw at all. Zhang Chunhua asked repeatedly and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he ordered Kaicheng to let Guo Huai in.
"Kill me!" After the gate was opened, Zhao Feng immediately gave an order, and then all the people suddenly took out a white cloth from their arms and hung it around their necks, and then pulled out their blades and killed them in the city. The defenders were caught off guard, and several people at the door were quickly cut down, and then the army quickly entered the city. The defenders in the city hurriedly fought, and they could not organize any effective resistance at all. After the following troops entered the city, the situation on both sides was even more one-sided.
After an hour of fierce battle, more than 7,000 people guarding the city were almost wiped out. Zhang Chunhua, the wife of Sima Yi, who was responsible for staying in Nanzheng, and her two sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were all captured alive. When the mother and son were escorted in front of Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and killed people, couldn't help but be shocked: the resentment in the eyes of the mother and son could not be concealed by closing their eyes. After Zhao Feng looked at it, he only felt like a female wolf and two little wolf cubs looking at him.
"Zhao, you kill my whole family, and I are irreconcilable with you. Even if you kill me today, he said that my husband will definitely break you to pieces!" Zhang Chunhua did not have the consciousness of being a prisoner at all. As soon as he met, he scolded bluntly. Zhao Feng looked at the mother and son and felt that the sweat on his forehead was about to come down.
"General, this woman is so rude. How do you want to deal with it?" Niu Jin hummed and asked.
"Drag it down and strangle it all!" Zhao Feng closed his eyes and said. Zhang Chunhua can't stay. It's also a scourge to keep Sima Shi and Sima Zhao. To be on the safe hand, they will all be killed. Zhao Feng never killed indiscriminately in his life, but this time he had to do so in order to cut the grass and eradicate the root. In addition, killing Sima Yi's wife and children will also make him surrender. Zhao Feng didn't want Sima Yi to surrender. In that case, it would not be easy for him to deal with him.
It's not just him who is surprised, but the rest of the people also feel that something is wrong. Prince, did you really kill them all?" Niu Jin asked unexpectedly. Seeing Zhao Feng nodded, Niu Jin didn't say anything. He pushed down and strangled all three people with a rope. Zhao Feng was worried. After strangulation, he came forward to look at it again. He was sure that he was out of breath, and ordered the head of the owl just in case. Everyone only thought that he was angry with Zhang Chunhua. Unexpectedly, he would have so many small calculations.
Nanzheng City has been captured, but the city is still not calm. At this time, except for Baocheng and Yangpingguan, all other places have been taken by Zhao Feng and Lu Xun. However, the whole Hanzhong people believed in Wudou Rice Road. Even if the city was broken, there were still frequent religious people who rebelled against the Sichuan army, which made people anxious for a while. At present, Zhao Feng ordered Ma Zhong to lead 20,000 troops to stay in Nanzheng, and he went to join Lu Xun to besiege Baocheng.
"Ber Yan, how are you doing here?" After Zhao Feng converged with Lu Xun, he also had a headache for these blooming events everywhere. Now he is completely in the vast sea of people's war.
"Your Majesty, recently, the Wudou rice Taoist people in Nanjiang, Wuxiang and other places have frequently caused troubles, attacking the heavy grain and grass. The army was tripped by them, which was very unfavorable! I don't know what good strategy the prince has to deal with the current situation? After Lu Xun sighed, he also asked with some expectation.
"I can't do anything. I can't kill all the people in Hanzhong!" Zhao Feng sighed. I knew that Sima Yi was making a lot of noise in Hanzhong, but I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. Fortunately, I still stayed in Hanzhong for a period of time, and now I have become a public enemy. I really don't know what the people in Hanzhong think, but they were brainwashed like this by Sima Yi.
"We will discuss this matter later. Bo Yan, how many soldiers and horses and food and fodder does Sima Yi have in Baocheng now?" After thinking about it, Zhao Feng still asked, as long as Sima Yi was removed, everything else was easy to say.
"Sima Yi has up to five or six thousand horses at most, and the grain and fodder are enough to support more than ten days. Sima Yi's grain and fodder are all hoarded in Nanzheng and Micang Mountain, but Baocheng is limited!" Lu Xun replied. Zhao Feng nodded and finally said, "In this case, we will besiege Sima Yi here. Shi Zai, you lead 5,000 people and are ready to cooperate with Deyang to extinguish the religious rebellion everywhere!" Everyone also knows that there is no way. It is really difficult to face Hanzhong, where all the people are soldiers. As long as you endure for more than ten days and force Sima Yi to completely run out of food, you can win without fighting.
It's ironic that Ma Yi, the boss of history, relied on the advantage of food and fodder to force Zhuge Liang back again and again. Now he is also trapped in this Baocheng because of running out of food and fodder. There is nothing he can do. On the ninth day of the siege, the defenders opened the door and surrendered. However, Sima Yi would rather die than surrender, and was tied up by several of his own soldiers and sent to Zhao Feng.
When Zhao Feng saw Sima Yi in the government office of Baocheng, the wolf's eyes had lost their brilliance. From there, you can't see the eyes of wisdom, but only loss, fatigue and confusion. The military failures, coupled with the lack of food in the stomach these days, have made the nerves of this generation of heroes almost collapse.
Looking at Zhao Feng in front of him, Sima Yi said leisurely, "Your Excellency is Zhao Botao?"
"Yes, it's me. Are you Sima Yi? Zhao Feng looked at the man in front of him. He was about the same age as himself, but the hair on his head was much whiter. Coupled with the wolf's eyes, the whole body exuded a gloomy breath. Now, Sima Yi is looking at himself, looking like he wants to stop talking.
"Sima Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Zhao Feng nodded and signaled that he had something to say directly. Sima Yi nodded, and finally asked, "I heard that Sun Zhongmou was killed by your Excellency?"
"Exactly, but he committed suicide. I just defeated him!" Zhao Feng nodded.
"Cao Mengde, are you also pissed off?" Sima Yi continued to ask. Although Zhao Feng was a little strange, he still replied, "He was blocked by me in the Pujin Pass. In the end, he died of oil and died."
"So, I heard that my wife and children have been killed by your Excellency in Nanzheng. It seems that you are not going to let me go!" Sima Yi said bitterly that no matter how wise people are, they will not be completely calm in the face of death.
"Yes, what else do you have to say? Say it as soon as possible!" Zhao Feng nodded. Sima Yi sighed softly, but finally said, "I'm hungry and thirsty in my stomach. I hope you can let me eat enough before I go on the road!"
"Yes!" After Zhao Feng simply said these two words, someone sent Sima Yi a bowl of rice and a plate of dishes. Sima Yi swallowed it and sighed with relief.
"I don't want to use your knife. I'm poisoned by myself!" Sima Yi put down the bowls and chopsticks and took out a delicate small bottle from his arms. Pour half a glass of wine into the glass, and then sprinkle some powder in the bottle. Sima Yi actually smiled: "Actually, I just took a few wrong steps and counted a few less moves. Otherwise, Zhao Botao, you may not be able to beat me!"
"You're wrong. How many steps did you take? Although competing for the world is not an unforgivable sin, those who cherish the world should first consider the people's livelihood and the safety of the people, rather than fighting for their own selfish desires. Even for his own unstelling purpose, he exercises extraordinary means to his own soldiers. Such an act can only make people cold. How can they compete for the world? Zhao Feng snorted. As soon as he said this, Sima Yi was really stunned. After a long time, he sighed, "Maybe you're right. I only want to ask you one last thing, Your Excellency Guigeng this year?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Feng was a little surprised that Sima Yi was suddenly interested in his age. Sima Yi did not answer, but asked himself, "Are you 24 years old this year?"
"Of course not. I'm almost forty years old!" Zhao Feng didn't know why he asked this question. Fortunately, Sima Yi quickly explained to him: "Jiao Jing is proficient in astronomical calendar and Taoist arithmetic. He once told me that I wanted to achieve great things, and those who bad me came to this world in the first year of Chuping. Isn't the first-year student of Chuping 24 years old this year? The general defeated Cao Mengde in the first three years. Naturally, it will not be. I just asked, just to see if my wife's arithmetic is really wrong.
"Of course she miscalculated!" Zhao Feng curled his lips and said. As soon as he said this, there was a flash of inspiration in Zhao Feng's mind: In the first year of Chuping, isn't it the year when he traveled through time and was reborn?
