Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 308
No matter how arrogant Qin Lang is, he still knows that Sima Yi is a seasoned veteran with both intelligence and intelligence, and he must never boast in front of him.However, the result of his recent annihilation of thousands of Qiang captives in the battle of Bingzhou really made him a little hot, and he said casually: "General Sima, according to Qin, no matter how brave and good the Shu bandits are, how can there be Shuofang frontier fortress?" How powerful are the Qiang captives?! Hey! Didn’t you see that those Qiang captives are all blood-thirsty bastard jackals! Threatening someone's head, just like an evil spirit descending to earth..."

Sima Yi caressed his black and smooth beard under his chin, nodded slightly and smiled: "General Qin is really born with supernatural powers - even the fierce Qiang captives who roared in the desert were broken by your hands, I admire you so much!" to."

"Great General! Qin was able to annihilate the Qiang captives in Shuofang because of His Majesty's mighty power—this time, Qin will make persistent efforts to make new achievements for His Majesty when he comes to Guanzhong!" Qin Lang heard Sima Yi say so. Kua, happy in his heart, but pretending to be loyal to the king and loving the Lord, arched his fists, and saluted far away to the east, "Qin must destroy the Shu bandits just like he wiped out the Qiang captives!"

Sima Yi knew that although Qin Lang came here in the name of "guarding the army" on the surface, his secret job must be "supervising the army".But he knew that such nobles' sons had the "common problem" of "great ambition and lack of talent", so he didn't care about anything with him. He only thought that his bold words were all jokes, so he smiled and was about to divert the topic away. At this time, a soldier came to report at the door of the big tent: "Report to the general, Jiang Wei, the general of Shu, is here to challenge again!"

Sima Yi didn't even lift his eyelids, and replied in a deep voice: "Send the order to go out, and hang up the 'free battle card'..."

When Qin Lang heard this, he suddenly interrupted him: "General Sima, since the Shu bandits came to challenge, why do we wait for the king of the Celestial Dynasty to avoid and not fight?"

Sima Yi has been in charge of the army with integrity in the past eight or nine years. When was he ever interrupted by others in the process of giving orders?His complexion changed slightly, his cheeks bulged, and his unhappiness appeared and disappeared.After a moment of silence, he calmly explained to Qin Lang: "Yuan Ming (Qin Lang's word is "Yuan Ming"), you are a newcomer today, maybe it is not clear: Shu Kou now holds the 'Serial Crossbow' in his hand. 'Hundred Stone Crossbows', 'Xuanyuan Chariot', 'Iron Caltrops' and other sophisticated weapons, if we attack rashly, we will lose our soldiers in vain as if they were automatically sent to death..."

"What are their sophisticated weapons? Qin is not even afraid of the Qiang captive's 'snake poison arrow', so how can he be afraid of their 'serial crossbow' and 'hundred stone crossbow'?" Qin Lang jumped up vigorously, "General , you allow Qin to go out to camp and teach them a lesson!"

After hearing this, Sima Yi couldn't help hesitating and pondering.

Seeing that Sima Yi didn't seem to agree, Qin Lang was anxious, so he brought out his "killer mace": "General Sima, you don't know, before Qin left Beijing this time, His Majesty sent an edict from the Xuchang Palace to earnestly warn you "Qin Aiqing, if you can't kill the enemy and make meritorious service in Guanzhong, don't come back to Beijing to see me again!" Qin's lifelong honor and disgrace are all entrusted to you, General Sima... If you don't let Qin go If someone goes out to fight the Shu bandits, how can Qin have the face to meet His Majesty in the future?"

Hearing what he said, Sima Yi twitched the corners of his brows slightly, and a faint sneer appeared on his lips, and he said in a slow voice: "Oh...General Qin has such courage to fight the enemy bravely, and also has such earnest encouragement from His Majesty. , how can this commander be reckless? That's fine, you can go out and fight! This commander is here waiting for your triumphant return."

"Good! Good! Good! Thank you, General Sima!" Qin Lang immediately became happy when he heard this, and he only bowed slightly to Sima Yi, and ran out happily with his generals on the spot.

After he left, Sima Yi put down his face, pondered for a moment, and finally held back his anger, and ordered: "Niu Jinjun, you lead ten thousand elite soldiers out, and put a pressure on General Qin outside the gate of the camp."

When Master Sima heard this, he couldn't help being furious, so he whispered to Sima Yi, "Father commander! What are you asking General Niu to do for him? Look at Qin Lang's crazy attitude! He doesn't know who to be, and wants to be defeated. You Let him go..."

Sima Yi stroked his beard with his right hand, but he didn't answer, thinking: Qin Lang is young and energetic, conceited, conceited, and arrogant, this commander uses Zhuge Liang's hand to frustrate his arrogance a little bit, that's all!It would be bad if the commander-in-chief allowed him to act recklessly and cause the soldiers to be defeated--after all, he is still the official of the "army guard" sent by the imperial court!If under one "protection", he "protected" himself, wouldn't it greatly damage the court's face?Losing the face of the imperial court means damaging Cao Rui's face - who knows how much trouble Cao Rui will cause himself when he becomes angry from embarrassment?
So, with a certain determination in his mind, he ordered decisively: "Niu Jinjun——you must follow my commander's order and do it earnestly, without hesitation!"

The sunlight outside the tent of the Chinese army is gradually fading, and dusk has quietly arrived.

Sima Yi was sitting on the bed, with his hands propped on the side of the bed, expressionless, waiting for the military information from outside - he had already guessed that Qin Lang's attack would definitely be defeated.It's just that he knows that he has a strong personality, if he goes out and witnesses the defeat of Qin Lang and his tiger and leopard cavalry, he might explode on the spot and make Qin Lang unable to step down!Therefore, he stayed in the tent of the Chinese army and did not go out to watch the battle. He simply said "out of sight but out of mind".

Suddenly, there was an uproar outside the tent of the Chinese army, as if the mountains were falling apart and the ground was cracking, it was deafening.

Sima Yi sat cross-legged on the Hu bed, still motionless.He secretly sighed, thinking that Qin Lang must have suffered a serious setback in the battle!It's a pity that those good soldiers and good horses...

He was about to get up, when a soldier "huh" opened the curtain and flew in, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "Win! Win! General Sima——General Qin Lang has won a complete victory." Already!"

"A complete victory?" Sima Yi was taken aback.

"That's right! General Qin Lang took the lead and led 2000 iron cavalry to brave the rain of guns and arrows from the Shu bandits, and slashed all the way in. They were invincible. In less than half an hour, they had killed nearly [-] Shu bandits... The thief general Jiang Wei saw the situation. If it's not good, I ran away in a hurry!"

Sima Yi listened, his face froze slightly, and he murmured: "Is it really so powerful?" While he was talking to himself, he glanced at him and saw that Niu Jin had also entered the tent, so he asked him: " Niu Jun——Has General Qin really won?"

"That's right. This time, General Qin was victorious and killed [-] Shu bandits..."

Sima Yi frowned, secretly surprised: "Could it be that the horses of the imperial army 'Tiger and Leopard Riders' brought by General Qin are made of copper and cast iron? They are not even afraid of 'barbed caltrops'?"

"General, in this battle, the Shu thieves did not use 'barbed caltrops'." Niu Jin replied solemnly.Just now, when he saw Qin Lang's triumphant and yelling appearance, he couldn't help feeling bitter—why didn't he come across such good luck as him? !
"It turns out that the Shu bandits didn't use 'barbed caltrops'!" Sima Yi murmured to himself thoughtfully.After pondering for a while, he got up from the bed.Sima Zhao, who had been waiting by his bed all the time, stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Father, General Qin's victory came so easily, I'm afraid there may be some deceit..."

"Is there any fraud? What is the fraud? General Qin's victory this time is a victory - he did not pretend to claim anything or lie about anything! The heads of the Shu bandits he beheaded are clearly displayed there!" Sima Yi ignored him. , commanded the guards on the left and right sides and said: "Go to the front camp as soon as possible to arrange for the firing of cannons and flags, and make a big fanfare-this commander will personally walk to the gate of the gate to welcome General Qin's triumphant return!"

In the tent of the Shu army commander, there is a quarrel at the moment.Wei Yan raised his beard and beard, raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, and shouted at Jiang Wei: "Jiang Boyue! You are so useless! I think my master of the Han Dynasty is invincible and invincible-how come in your hands, he lost his troops and retreated like this? Fleeing? The general looked at you from the back of the formation and was so angry! Your defeat today has completely embarrassed my big Han Tianjun..."

With his hands behind his back, Jiang Wei knelt down on the ground, his face was pained, and he didn't answer a word.

General Anhan Li Miao had always been jealous of Jiang Wei's favor in front of Zhuge Liang, and he also fanned the flames: "Yes! General Wei is right, since our army's northern expedition in February this year, has it ever lost a battle? General Jiang, you have compromised the majesty of my great master of the Han Dynasty, and according to your loyal and staunch disposition, how do you think you should cut yourself off?"

The muscles on both sides of Jiang Wei's cheeks twitched violently, but he remained silent.

Just as everyone was scolding him to the brim, a clear and calm voice slowly came from outside the tent: "Masters—wait! Boyue's defeat in this battle is the truth that he deliberately fought Yes. If you want to investigate the crime, I am afraid that the truth should be the first one to be investigated! Everything has nothing to do with Bo Yue!"

All the generals fell silent when they heard the voice, and they all turned their heads - only to see Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled cart parked at the door.With a solemn expression on his face, he gently waved the goose feather fan in his hand, looked straight at the generals, and continued to say word by word: "The truth hereby orders, within one month from now on, if any enemy general Qin Lang comes to fight, you only It is allowed to show weakness but not to be strong, only to fail but not to win—those who dare to violate the order will be severely punished!"

After seven days in a row, Qin Lang led 8000 imperial tigers and leopards to ride out to fight, and they won every battle!Counting his achievements, he has killed nearly [-] enemies, which is a very impressive feat!Moreover, under his fighting, the battle situation in Guanzhong has changed dramatically. On the contrary, the Shu army's camp is hanging up the "free battle card" every day!

Then, the commendation edict issued by Cao Rui from Xuchang also flew in like snowflakes, and it was to add officials to Qin Lang, and to give Qin Lang a bounty and a house, and it was very lively for a while!Qin Lang also thought that he had made great contributions to the Guanzhong army, and became more and more arrogant. Every time he went to battle, he no longer consulted or asked Sima Yi for advice. He always took the token and went out proudly, beheading the Shu army. Show off everywhere when you come back!
Fifteen days later, Guo Huai, the deputy commander of the Guanzhong Army and the governor of Yongzhou, suddenly came from Dazhai, Jinkou, on the north bank of the Weihe River. Let's wipe out the Shu bandits as soon as possible and clear the western borders.

Guo Huai's proposal immediately caused an uproar in the Guanzhong army.However, Sima Yi, the governor and general of Zhengxi, who was at the forefront of the storm, resisted all opinions and took the lead in responding to Guo Huai's proposal, claiming that he was getting older and less energetic, and that he was suffering from headaches recently, so it was really unsuitable to talk about it. For military affairs in Guanzhong, he wrote a request form on the spot and asked the court: first, he was allowed to return to Luoyang, Kyoto to recuperate;On the day he made the announcement, he and Qin Lang finished handing over the affairs of the Guanzhong military agency, and in the afternoon he crossed the Wei River with Guo Huai and prepared to return to the Guandong.

The most intriguing thing is that Qin Lang didn't refuse, he almost did his part and couldn't wait to take over the Guanzhong Commander Seal entrusted by Sima Yi, and seriously acted as the agent of Guanzhong's military and political affairs!
