Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 309
At the pontoon bridge at Jinkou on the north bank of the Weihe River, Sima Yi lifted the curtain from the "wind chasing car" he usually rode in, and slowly leaned down to the ground.

Guo Huai had already dismounted and waited beside him, he stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "General, Guo Mou followed your secret order the day before yesterday and came across the river to force you to blame. Please forgive me!"

Sima Yi always had a vague smile on his face, he waved his right hand, and said, "Guo Mujun's words are wrong! What crimes do you have to blame? This commander is like you when 'Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai' back then, It's "one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer"! If it weren't for Guo Mujun and your aggressiveness, how could our two-reed play fool the whole army? How could it fool Zhuge Liang's eyes and ears? Didn't Zhuge Liang think Are you deliberately trying to force me to leave the Guanzhong camp? Good! Let me leave for a while, and see how he will play tricks in the future!"

Guo Huai was stunned: "Could it be that the general is really going back to Luoyang?"

Sima Yi shook his head and looked at him with a smile: "This... this commander is going to bother Guo Mujun—this commander may have to squat down quietly for a few days in your big village at Jinkou on the north bank..."

"Row!"

Sima Yi looked back at the "Wind Chaser" behind him again, called Niu Heng to come, and said earnestly: "Zhuge Liang is extremely cautious. Although this commander has claimed to leave Guanzhong and return to Luoyang today, he will definitely not believe it. We will send out spies to investigate along the way——Niu Hengjun, you should put on your handsome attire, go sit on the "wind chasing car" and continue walking eastward. "Singing the gong to clear the way, returning home with clothes and brocades" has the grandeur and excitement, to make them believe that the commander-in-chief has really returned to Luoyang..."

"Yes!" Niu Heng replied sharply.

Watching the large group of advocating guards rushing away surrounded by the "wind chasing car" with gongs and drums, Sima Yi, dressed in casual clothes, stood silently for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and waved to Sima Zhao who came with him: "Zhaoer!" , you should send someone to quietly contact the two generals, Niu Jin and Hu Zun, and ask them to take good care of the strength of their soldiers and horses, and not to act rashly with Qin Lang. If you encounter a small battle, bring Qin Lang The [-] tiger and leopard cavalry guards pushed forward to 'show the limelight'. However, if Qin Lang has any plans for a big battle recently, they must send someone to inform the commander in advance. The commander has his own way to deal with the change .”

After Sima Yi left, Qin Lang won several battles one after another, but the results of these few victories were no longer as brilliant as before, and the most powerful one captured only 800 prisoners!

He felt that he was not satisfied, so he summoned Hu Zun, the commander of the left army, and Niu Jin, the commander of the right army, and decided to use all the elite main forces of the whole army to attack Zhuge Liang's Wuzhangyuan front camp at night. Niu Jin each led a powerful force to launch a surprise attack on the Shu army camp from the left, middle, and right.

At the end of the night, Qin Lang personally led [-] tiger and leopard cavalry forbidden troops and [-] Guanzhong infantry, and came to the middle gate of the front camp of the Shu army in mighty force.

There seemed to be only three to forty thousand people guarding the middle gate of the front camp of the Shu Army. Qin Lang was overjoyed and shouted, leading 4000 soldiers and horses to kill them as if they were destroying the dead!Unexpectedly, after they rushed into the camp, they found that there was no one in the tents inside!
No matter how stupid Qin Lang is usually, he has already realized that something is wrong, and he is eager to lead the troops to withdraw——Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the gate of the Shu army camp, and a row of "Xuanyuan chariots" galloped over, like Heavy iron walls stand erect, blocking Qin Lang's escape route!
Then, the roof of each "Xuanyuan Chariot" was opened, and thousands of arrows "swish, swish" were fired, and the torrential rain engulfed the [-] Wei soldiers with nowhere to escape!
Qin Lang was not timid, he hurriedly commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry guards to rush eastward and westward with all their strength in the formation, but was swept by the opponent's "Hundred Stone Crossbow" arrows, and the knights around him suddenly "crashed!" La" a large piece fell down!

He was so anxious that his eyes were wide open, and with a wave of his right hand, he swung a cluster of "serial crossbow" arrows, and before he could return the move-there was a muffled sound of "wave", and a "hundred stone crossbow" as thick as a fist "The arrow flew towards him, and hit the body of his long lance, hitting him with his horse and man and falling over a distance of six feet!
"Ah! This general will fight with you!" Qin Lang roared in desperation and rushed forward—at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of killing behind the opponent's chariot, and he touched After three or four quarters of an hour, a gap was finally torn open in the car formation!Sima Yi and Guo Huai, who were fully clothed, rushed in with an armored cavalry as if they had fallen from the sky!Qin Lang was overjoyed with tears in his eyes, he hurriedly led the remnants of his headquarters to meet them, joined forces with the two of them, and then fled out without fighting.

"General—your rescue came in a timely manner!" On the way back, Qin Lang couldn't help but thanked Sima Yi sincerely.

"Qin Hujun, are you not hurt?" Sima Yi said to him with concern on his face, "The Japanese commander has been saying goodbye to all his staff in the camp in Weibei for the past few days. There seemed to be a cloud of murderous intent, and the Shu bandits might set up traps to harm people—so Yi and Guo Mujun flew across the river overnight to rescue them, and thanks to His Majesty's blessings, they finally rescued Qin Hujun and you escaped safely..."

Qin Lang's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in: "General, you are really clever and clever, and Lang can never catch up with you!"

……

After this night attack, the [-] tiger and leopard cavalry guards led by Qin Lang lost more than [-] people overnight, and they were completely defeated.Seven days later, the imperial court issued an imperial decree: Sima Yi will still be the commander of Guanzhong, and at the same time, Qin Lang will be removed from the "Guardian of Shu Army" officer, and will be taken back to Luoyang by Ting Wei for interrogation.

On the day when Sima Yi regained the command of the commander-in-chief of Guanzhong, he issued a general order: In view of the fact that the soldiers of the Shu invaders are well-armed and difficult to face head-on, all armies are not allowed to make false statements about the war, and continue to close their camps and guard the forts. penalty!

Persuade
"The skin is like fat and jade reflecting the setting sun, the moon is like a cage of cold smoke in autumn water. The lips match the three spring flowers are bright, and the eyebrows gather the five mountains and green peaks..."

Zhang Chunhua slowly recited this extremely rare seven-character poem Yuefu song, and suddenly stopped in the middle, and asked Xiahou Hui, who had been kneeling silently opposite her, "Hui'er, what do you think of this poem? "

Xiahou Huiying replied: "The words and phrases in this poem are too prosperous and exaggerated, and instead it loses its aura and charm. It can't bear others to chew on it..."

"Hehehe... Did you know? This poem was written by Shi'er's father when he was young..." Zhang Chunhua glanced at her and smiled slightly.

"Ah!" Xiahou Huifang's face changed color slightly. In her eyes, that father-in-law who has always been sitting upright and dignified, actually wrote such gorgeous and simple poems?It's unimaginable!
She hesitated for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "My lord, your voice, face and smile back then can be said to be as lifelike and radiant as new in this poem by my father..."

"You are wrong. The 'little lady' he described in this poem is not a mother." Zhang Chunhua slowly put down the poem scroll in his hand, with a somewhat complicated expression, "It's another woman."

Xia Houhui's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.

Zhang Chunhua raised his eyes and stared at the western sky for a long time before he said leisurely: "Hui'er, you are happy. Yesterday, Master, without telling his father, he secretly bought two flowers for you with the rewards he got for his meritorious service. Send back the 'white jade pendant inlaid with agate', a specialty of the Western Regions, it seems that he keeps you in his heart all the time..."

Xia Houhui couldn't help showing a sweet smile on his face as he listened.

Zhang Chunhua secretly looked at all her expressions, and said lightly: "It is a great blessing for a girl to get the man she loves as her husband. Then, Hui'er—you are right as a teacher." Are you ready to give something out of your sincerity?"

Xia Houhui was startled when he heard that, looked at Zhang Chunhua suspiciously for a moment, and replied politely: "The child repays Ziyuan, just like mother, you repay your father."

"Oh? If you can think like this, it would be great." After Zhang Chunhua listened very carefully, he gave her a deep look.After a long while, she pushed out a shiny silver box from the back of her brocade cushion, and said slowly: "You should also know that Yuan Ji has recently become pregnant for Zhao'er. Hui'er, as her own sister-in-law, you should go to visit her, right? In order to pray for her mother and son, you took the "Yin King's Seal" handed down by my Sima family on behalf of your mother, and put it in her bedroom. How about on the incense altar?"

As she spoke, she slowly opened the silver box, either intentionally or unintentionally: a sapphire seal with flowing green light suddenly appeared, and the exquisite seal button was carved into a galloping tall horse, proudly Proudly want to leap out of the box!

Seeing the divine horse seal button on the "Yin King's Seal", Xia Houhui's delicate body was shocked as if struck by lightning. The appearance of the "eight horses running together" is exactly the same, even the movements of raising their hooves and jumping their bodies are as one!
This time, Xia Houhui was completely stunned—Zhang Chunhua's voice, which suddenly seemed distant and erratic, echoed in his ears: "The 'Yin King's Seal' of my Sima family has a great spirit, a great fortune, Yes——Wei Niang heard the concubines in the palace talk about how the pattern of eight horses was naturally formed on the back of the "Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone" of "Auspiciousness from Heaven" this time. But, I don't know Is it the 'horse' on the 'Spirit Turtle Profound Stone' that looks better, or the 'horse' on the Sima family's 'Yin King's Seal'? Hui'er, if you have time to enter the palace and take a look on your mother's behalf, Bring back the similarities and differences between the two to tell Wei Niang..."

Listening to Zhang Chunhua's words, Xia Houhui's bright pupils have gradually dimmed into a gray haze...

……

Five days later, Xia Houhui died suddenly in the bedroom of Sima Mansion.Xia Houxuan personally brought eighteen imperial doctors to examine his condition, and concluded that worry hurts the spleen, heart qi stagnation, blockage, sudden collapse of accumulated sorrow, death of depression, no other difference.

"Recently, the "Letter to Prime Minister Zhuge" written by the old thief Sun Quan has been 'fried' in the capital... Butler Yin, what do you think?"

Zhang Chunhua summoned the housekeeper Sima Yin and started talking in the secret room.After listening to the question, Sima Yin pondered and replied: "In my view, madam, you should not be too sensitive to that letter. In fact, Sun Quan's "Letter to Prime Minister Zhuge" is a strange 'double-edged sword' On the one hand, it can arouse the deep fear of the lord from the confidantes of the Wei family, and on the other hand, it can also arouse the deep awe of the unparalleled talents of the ruling and the public... In this sense, it is carrying out for the lord. Ingenious propaganda. It depends on how you guide properly, madam..."

Zhang Chunhua seemed to have realized something, and nodded slowly.She was quiet for a while, and then asked again: "Has Mr. Guan Ning agreed to be employed as the current Taiwei?"
