Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 772

——"Bowman!"

--"cover!"

--"shoot!"

Seeing Xiahoudun leading the disabled soldiers from a distance, Huang Zhong shouted to the archers.

The crossbowmen fired in turn, blocking a round of the Shu army's pursuit, and the neat array split open, allowing Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Zhuo and others to gallop into the rear army.

When the Shu army came closer, Huang Zhong changed his slogan, "Fire gun battalion, shoot!"

This time, what was waiting for the Shu army was not a thousand arrows, but a gun that was ten times more powerful.

But the huge power of the firecrackers deterred the soldiers and horses of the Shu army, and a group of Shu troops hesitated to move forward, looking at the opposite side...the brave soldiers of the Wei army who were waiting in full battle.

Zhuge Liang saw Wei Jun's orderly formation from a distance, and smiled coldly, "Stop chasing."

Yang Yi who was around was puzzled, "Prime Minister, our army's morale is at its peak, let's go all out!"

Zhuge Liang lightly waved his feather fan, and calmly pointed at the Wei formation in front, "Did you see that? The Wei army has already lined up. There are strong crossbows at long distances, firecrackers at medium distances, and steel spears and steel halberds at short distances. Besides...they are here How can there be no ambushes after stationing for a long time? Even if our morale is greatly won, if we try our best, there is no chance of winning..."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed helplessly, "As expected of being the disciple of Wei Emperor Cao Yu, this Sima Yi really can bear it, and he can bear to see Xiahou Dun's defeat like annihilating the entire army!"

Military order conveyed...

The Shu army stopped moving forward, and Zhuge Liang was pushed down to the front of the army by several soldiers. He slowly stood up and looked at Sima Yi in front of Peishui Pass.

Zhuge Liang said softly: "Send a message for me..."

Soon, messengers arrived.

Zhuge Liang said: "Sima Yi, I know you...you are Cao Yu's closed disciple."

The messenger shouted Zhuge Liang's words out loud.

Sima Yi also called the messenger, and said with a smile, "Tell him, Zhuge Kongming, I also know you. My mentor has been waiting for you for five years, and I don't want...you are still a thousand miles away! Only a few months, Jianmenguan, Jiameng Lost all the passes, and lost Peishui Pass again? Where else can we take it?"

The summoner also shouted these words...

"Prime Minister..." Yang Yi clenched his fist, he couldn't stand Sima Yi humiliating the Prime Minister.

But Zhuge Liang waved his hand and continued: "Sima Zhongda, isn't the Great Wei Xiongbing invincible and invincible? Why... Now that our Shu army is right in front of you, you don't dare to attack? Is this still the Great Wei Xiongbing? ? Are you worthy of the prestige your master made for you?"

When Zhuge Liang was so excited, some people in the Wei army were already eager to try.

For example, Qu Yi, he is short-tempered...he can't bear this the most.

"Commander Sima, I only need 3000 people to capture this little Zhuge!"

Before Qu Yi could finish speaking, Sima Yi waved his hand to stop him, but continued to order the herald, "Tell him, Zhuge Kongming has already escaped from the pass, why is he not moving forward? To attack or not to attack? You have to show your attitude, twist Twist... If that's the case, go back to the customs and become a coward!"

Not long after, this sentence was also heard by the herald.

Hearing what Sima Yi said...

Zhuge Liang shook his head, showing infinite regret, and chanted again: "It's a pity, I can't win or lose with the disciples of Emperor Wei!"

Sima Yi also laughed and said: "Tell Zhuge Kongming, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the future will be long!"

"Ming Jin, withdraw troops!"...

After some conversation, Zhuge Liang directly ordered that the Shu army withdraw slowly, singing majestic military songs while withdrawing.

——"I am wearing iron armor, and I am carrying a long knife."

——"Let's fight with Zi, the road is long."

——"Together with the enemy, we will live and die together."

——"Let's fight with the son, and the heart will not slacken."

——"Tread the swallows, chase the beard. Fight with the son, sing fearlessly."

The majestic voice is matched with the appearance of the Shu army when they returned in triumph. After a long absence of victory, the romance of the Shu Han is extremely lit at this moment.

as if…

Every soldier of the Shu army held their heads up at this moment.

They... are also like Guan Yunchang, in front of the "rarely defeated" Wei in this era, and in the "eternal undefeated" Cao Yu, they "stolen" a victory.

That's enough to make them ecstatic!

Listening to the military song, Sima Yi sighed quietly, like a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"Why didn't Commander Sima dare to attack? Why didn't Zhuge Kongming dare to attack?"

Gongsun Zan asked in doubt...

In the situation just now, if it were him, he would have led the army to kill him long ago. After all... waiting for work with ease, the advantage lies with me.

Similarly, Gongsun Zan couldn't figure out why Zhuge Liang didn't take the initiative to attack while Sima Yi was showing cowardice?These hundreds of firecrackers alone deter them?

"General Gongsun has heard that in duels between masters, it's often the last mover and the first master." Sima Yi explained, "Zhuge Kongming is considered a master, although I am not a master, but I follow His Majesty's strategy, and I can barely be considered a half master..."

this…

Gongsun Zan scratched his head, I asked you a question, but you put it on.

Sima Yi's words continued, "Zhuge Liang didn't dare to attack first because we were waiting for work, because we had laid an ambush here, and we didn't dare to attack first because the Peishui Pass was behind us. As long as we attack... then Peishui The pass is bound to have the Shu army rushing out, our army will be attacked on both sides, and the position will be difficult to protect!"

Sima Yi showed extreme caution, "Behind us are Zitong and His Majesty, and behind Zhuge Liang is the safety of the Shu Han. No one dares to move without certainty of victory!"

hiss…

Gongsun Zan had a feeling of "unknownness".

Of course...he couldn't tell what was so great about it.

Anyway, this battle... until now, generally speaking, Wei Jun has lost!
Next, Zhuge Liang and the Shu army are going to gain power, right?
Can't you be complacent?
"Ah..." At this moment, a faint sigh came out again, and Sima Yi sighed again, "Next, there is another level..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned to the back.

General Xiahou Dun is back!
Hehe, General, big trouble!

...

...

Zitong, Lu Yu and Guo Jia stood on the tower.

In the battle before Peishui Pass, some scouts have sent back news...

As expected, it was also a reasonable defeat!

Lu Yu said with emotion: "Since I entered Cao Ying, there have only been two major defeats. One of them was Guan Yunchang flooding Jiangling. That time I was negligent. I was on guard against Fancheng. I didn't want Guan Yu to spare Fancheng and attack Jiangling directly. The second time...is the defeat of the General!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yu seemed to have a lot of emotion, he sighed, "If the defeat to Guan Yu was negligence, then...this time, I can avoid it, can avoid...meaning the misunderstanding of Qiao Pei's great achievements, which means If there are wars in the future, if the meritorious men dare to speak out to force me, it will be detrimental to the court, Fengxiao, as you said, it is not easy to be an emperor!"

Hearing Lu Yu say such a big deal.

Guo Jia also said with emotion: "Great Wei has been so smooth these years, and many soldiers have forgotten what it means to lose? How to lose? This is not good. The Supreme Emperor has a good saying that the reason why genius doctors are genius doctors is because they have healed death. There are too many people, and the reason why famous generals are famous is that they are brave in defeat, persevere in defeat, and finally win...The victorious division often comes from the journey of constant defeat, but because of your majesty...Many soldiers of the Wei Dynasty did not know how to be brave Defeat? This kind of 'constant victory' depends on your majesty, not their ability! From this point of view, the defeat this time is just right!"

Guo Jia's words made Lu Yu feel a little better. "It's a pity that with so many children, there is no way to return to the Central Plains alive."

With this exclamation, the atmosphere here became much more gloomy.

"Feng Xiao came to see me, not just for comfort, right?" Lu Yu looked at Guo Jia...

This breathtaking gaze seemed to see through everything.

"You can't hide it from Your Majesty..." Guo Jia nodded, "I don't worry about defeat. The only concern of a big country is to win and exhaust yourself. The concern of a small country is to make meritorious service and strive to be undefeated...Facing Bashu, Your Majesty can defeat a hundred For Bashu, for His Majesty, as long as you lose once...the battle is over!"

"Feng Xiao has also learned to speak well now." Lu Yu laughed. "But to be honest, I still like your rebellious look!"

Speaking of rebellious...

Guo Jia's tone suddenly became serious, "Your Majesty, I didn't say these things to please His Majesty, I was worried... worried about this great victory, the Shu army and Zhuge Liang showed their confidence, so..." Si "It will be upside down! "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud, the disease of the water, as for the boulder, the momentum; The momentum is like a crossbow, and the momentum is like an opportunity. What I am most worried about is this..."

Guo Jia talked a lot.

As if, once the emperor and the courtiers, after Lu Yu proclaimed the emperor... Guo Jia changed his old image of a "wine boy" who was "happy and unrestrained", and paid a lot of attention to the entire Wei Dynasty and the current situation in the world.

Others are helping Wei to unify...

Only he is a good brother who "has gone whoring" together, helping this 'good brother-in-law' unify!
He is more concerned about national affairs and military affairs than anyone else.

And Guo Jia's worries are not unreasonable.

The success or failure of a battle is not a big problem for Wei's size, and the loss is not big.

But if the "potential" is reversed, the situation will change completely.

"Potential..." Lu Yu murmured this word, and he blinked his eyes, as if... the tension only lasted for a few breaths. "Now, as long as Zhuge Liang is at Peishui Pass, the momentum will be on the side of the Shu army... But if he is not at Peishui Pass?"

Well…

Guo Jia pricked up his ears, intending to listen to Lu Yu's long speech.

Just, unfortunately...

No tirade, nothing.

There are only Lu Yu's confident smile and...

"Compared with Zhuge Liang's 'momentum', I'm suddenly more worried about the general's side... Presumably, after this battle, his mood is also the same.

Not feeling well? "

this…

Guo Jia's eyes must have been fixed, and he said with emotion: "The general is uncomfortable, but if you want to talk about the worst, it must be... this Guan of Your Majesty.

Disciple - Sima Zhongda, right? "

Yes!

I still don't know, how would Xiahou Dun make things difficult for him after such a big defeat?

...

...

The lamp was like a fight, and Xia Houmao had already been bandaged. He was seriously injured, and many wounds were punctured to save his father Xiahou Dun.

blood flow...

Sima Yi sat by the bed, waiting patiently for the doctor to bandage Xia Houmao.

"Ah..." After the wound was wrapped up, Xia Houmao forced himself to stand up, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into faint sighs.

"What are young people afraid of bleeding?" Seeing Xia Houmao sighing, Huang Zhong said sharply, "Later, this general will stew two lambs for you. I'll make sure you eat them, and you'll get everything back!"

Xia Houmao lowered his head sadly, "Commander Sima, I...I lost with my father commander."

Sima Yi comforted Xia Houmao, "I understand, I understand, you have been trained by His Majesty's "spear book" to be a peerless marksmanship, and you have not lost a single defeat in the Longxiao camp for so many years. Now... this is the first time you have tasted such a defeat, so naturally you feel unwilling. "

"It's not reconciled..." Xia Houmao bit his lip, "It's my fault!"

"Soldiers are deceitful!" Sima Yi said with emotion: "You didn't blame the commander for not saving you, which surprised me."

Xia Houmao shook his head, "As His Majesty's disciple, although he is practicing martial arts, he still knows a thing or two about the basics of right and wrong. This defeat... is because of the father who underestimated the enemy and believed in the thief. Even though Commander Sima went to save us , it’s not just my father’s [-] soldiers who died!”

Sima Yi lightly patted Xia Houmao's shoulder.

"Zhuge Liang is an opponent that even his teachers dare not underestimate, but the general... when will he realize this?"

...

...

Xiahou Dun's eyes were slackened, his energy was low, and he didn't even move a mouthful of the stewed meat that was placed beside him to nourish his body.

Even when the doctor came to prescribe the medicine, Xiahou Dun was very angry and perfunctory.

He asked the lieutenant sadly, "How many casualties?"

The lieutenant general replied, "There are more than 1000 people who have returned to the camp one after another, most of them were wounded, and it is impossible to estimate who died in battle. Maybe there are soldiers who can escape!"

Xiahou Dun trembled slightly, "What about the military equipment?"

The lieutenant lowered his head even lower, and said sadly, "Army equipment, equipment, food and grass...all are lost. If Commander Sima hadn't prepared food and medicine, I'm afraid the brothers who escaped...would not be able to make it through tonight."

With tears in his eyes, Xiahou Dun stood up in grief and indignation, staring at the lieutenant.

"Thanks? He Sima Yi almost killed me? I'm about to step into the coffin with half a foot, and... is it thanks to him? Thanks to him, I'm not dead yet!"

While talking, Xiahou Dun angrily walked towards Sima Yi's military tent.

As soon as he entered, he grabbed Sima Yi, "You delayed the march on purpose? Do you want to see me lose?"

Sima Yi said calmly, "The original plan was that when the General made a surprise attack on Peishui Pass, I would lead the army to attack, but the General has not yet made a surprise attack, so why should I delay?"

"Plan?" Hearing these two words, Xiahou Dun became even more angry. He pointed at Sima Yi angrily, "Are you telling me about the plan? Hmph, the general's plan is that you divide your troops into two groups, and then rush to help the general." What about this road? Why did the general almost die in that mountain road, and they still haven’t come?”

This remark made Sima Yi dumbfounded, and he could not refute.

snort!
Xiahou Dun snorted coldly, "Come here, tie up Sima Yi!"

At this moment, it was Qu Yi and Gongsun Zan who entered the military tent. They looked at Xiahou Dun coldly, "General? What are your orders?"

It was only then that Xiahoudun realized that the people he led were either dead or injured, and here... no one would listen to him.

"Okay!" Xiahou Dun let go of Sima Yi, and pointed at Sima Yi's nose, "Wait, this general will go back to Zitong and impeach you to my nephew!"

"The general is careful." Sima Yi was neither humble nor overbearing, "The general should be called His Majesty, not anything else!"

This…

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Xiahou Dun was furious!

Just as the tension in the military tent was getting more and more tense, several pigeons flew slowly over the mountains, each pigeon had something tied to its leg, and they flew to where they should go as if they were familiar with the road.
