The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1002 Forced Breakthrough
Sima Jun summoned the messenger sent by Wen Yang, took out a sealed letter and handed it to the messenger, saying: "Go back and give this letter to Deputy Governor Wen, after he reads it, everything will be clear .”

The messenger didn't know exactly how Sima Jun had arranged it. Hearing what he said, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He immediately hid the letter carefully, bowed and left, leaving Yecheng, and set foot on the road back to Bingzhou.

All the way was safe and sound, and no danger was encountered. The messenger quickly returned to Huguan.

Although a few days later, the situation around Huguan was not too tense. The Shu army still maintained a state of separation without encirclement and encirclement without fighting. When the messenger passed through the encirclement of the Shu army, he did not encounter any No matter what danger, he entered the city very easily.

Above the lobby, Wen Yang was pacing back and forth with a sullen face and furrowed brows. Although the situation around Huguan hadn't changed much, Wen Yang couldn't wait for reinforcements from the Jin army for a day. Rest assured, the genius knows what Liu Yin is thinking, maybe when he wakes up that day, Huguan City has already changed hands.

The messenger hurried to the hall, saw Wen Yang, and said: "See General Wen for the humble position."

Wen Yang looked a little happy, and said: "Have you seen King Ruyin? When will the reinforcements arrive?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer Wen Yang, so he took out Sima Jun's letter, handed it up, and said, "King Ruyin has a letter for the general. After reading it, the general will understand."

Wen Yang took the letter, opened it immediately, and read it eagerly, but his face changed from red to white, and from white to blue, which was more uncomfortable than swallowing a fly.

When Qi Hong, Wu Mao, and Duan Guang heard that the messenger had returned to the city, they were all anxious to know the news from Yecheng, and they all rushed back to the prefect's mansion immediately. They were all surprised to see Wen Yang's expression, and Qi Hong said: "General Wen, What did King Ruyin say in the letter? Did you agree when to send troops here?"

Wen Yang sighed dejectedly, and handed the letter to them. Qi Hong took the letter in his hand, and Wu Mao and Duan Guang leaned their heads together, eager to read the letter.

Because the arrival of reinforcements, sooner or later, is related to their wealth and lives, Qi Hong and the others are naturally very concerned about this matter, but the content of the letter disappoints them, because Sima Jun is not going to send reinforcements at all. , in the letter, Sima Jun said grandly that this was a trick of Liu Yin of the Shu army. Once Yecheng sent troops to reinforce them, he would fall into Liu Yin's trick. To break through in the direction of Jizhou, Sima Jun will send troops to meet them on the border of Jizhou.

"This... is it true that King Ruyin is dying?" Qi Hong said with a look of astonishment.

"If we want to break through, the Shu army outside has several times the strength of ours. How can we break out? Without reinforcements, we will also die if we break out." Wu Mao said angrily.

Among the three, only Duan Guang was a little bit more sensible, he said: "What King Ruyin said is not unreasonable, now the Shu army has been besieging but not attacking for many days, it seems that there is a conspiracy, if reinforcements arrive, It is very likely that you will be ambushed by the Shu people."

Qi Hong and Wu Mao glanced at Duan Guang unkindly. Now the troops staying at Shangdang are waiting desperately for the reinforcements to arrive. Now that the reinforcements do not come, both of them are full of anger, but Duan Guang actually wants to give Sima Jun Washing the floor, how can I not annoy the two of them.

Wen Yang gave a wry smile, and said sadly: "Wen is incompetent and has affected everyone."

In fact, Wenyang knows better than anyone else that Sima Jun's so-called excuses are all speculative. Let alone whether the Shu army really had an ambush, even if the Shu army had an ambush, then the tens of thousands of Shangdang and Jin Kingdom Junior soldier, did you just abandon it without any scruples?

In the final analysis, Sima Jun still couldn't let go of the enmity between Wen Yang and the Sima family. Back then, Sima Zhao ordered Wen Yang to be pardoned, but Sima Jun and his brothers have always been brooding over the death of his elder brother Sima Shi.But as the emperor's family, they may not dare to blatantly coerce private revenge, but they may not be unable to do it by borrowing a knife to kill someone.

The reason why he didn't do anything before didn't mean that Sima Jun let go of this enmity, but that Wen Yang still had some use value. Now that Wen Yang has lost consecutive battles in Bingzhou, Sima has completely given up on him and let him Breaking through, what's the difference between that and letting him fend for himself?
Thinking of this, Wenyang's heart was full of sadness. Being appointed this time, Wenyang secretly tried his best to fight for a wife's shade, so as to honor the ancestors and comfort the spirit of his father who died in Huainan, but the sky failed. , Wen Yang is brave and powerful, but it is a pity that he met such an opponent as Liu Yin. Once Pingyang was defeated, and Shangdang was defeated again, all his lifelong dreams were in vain.

Qi Hong and the others also looked sad, and comforted him: "General Wen, there is no unparalleled road, maybe we can find a glimmer of life if we try our best to break through."

Of course, Wen Yang couldn't sit still, even if Sima Jun couldn't count on him, he couldn't just give up on himself. Now Wen Yang still has more than 2 troops on hand, so it's okay to fight to the death.

"Okay, without further ado, order the battalions to abandon the city and break out of the siege at midnight!" Wen Yang ordered in a deep voice, with determination and strength in his eyes.

Since you have to leave, it should be sooner rather than later. Before the Shu army has formed a siege on Huguan City, you can decisively protrude out, and maybe there is still a chance of survival.

Qi Hong, Wu Mao, Duan Guang and others also felt the awe-inspiring murderous aura of Wen Yang. At this critical moment of life and death, such courage is really needed, and their hearts are equally heavy. Each arranged.

In the battle to break out of the siege, one must travel lightly. All the heavy supplies and other heavy things that affect the speed of the march must be thrown away. Except for the weapons, everyone only brought dry food for three days at most.

Three days is enough for the Jin army. Either break out successfully and cross the Taihang Mountains to enter Jizhou, or fail to break out and die in Shangdang. It seems that there are only two paths left for the Jin army.

The Jin troops in each battalion were busy throughout the day, packing up their luggage, preparing weapons, gathering at the designated location, having their last dinner in Huguan City, and then silently waiting for the night to fall.

Near midnight, the city gate of Huguan slowly opened, and the Jin army team came out quietly in the dark, left Huguan City, and began their journey to break out of the encirclement.
