The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1003
After Wei Yan met Zhuge Qiao, Liu Chan led his troops and set off for the Linjin army camp at noon that day.Because the matter of Cao Wei's spies on the border did not happen overnight, Zhuge Qiao did not stay with Wei Yan, but went to Linjin with Liu Chan.

Since Wei Yan was the prefect of Fengyi County, after Zhao Yun left with Liu Chan, he immediately took over the entire army of Dali City.

Then, in the next two days, Wei Yan began to organize people to search for assassins in Dali County.

It should be said that Wei Yan and the others have achieved some results after working so hard.In all, they caught nearly ten suspects.

On the other hand, Sima Zhao originally had his own follow-up plan.

It should be said that Sima Zhao is indeed not as mature and stable as his elder brother Sima Shilai, and this has also contributed to his bold style.Even though the assassination of Liu Chan in Dali City failed, he didn't intend to stop there, so he stayed in the deserted village all the time, while sending people to continue to monitor Liu Chan's actions.There is a great feeling of wanting to take advantage of the gap in Liu Chan's position and continue to assassinate Liu Chan.

But Wei Yan's large-scale search and arrest operation soon alarmed Sima Zhao.He reacted immediately, but what surprised him was that his people soon discovered that all the passages out of Dali County had already been blocked by the Shu Han army!
Sima Zhao suddenly felt dizzy and panicked.According to Wei Yan's men and horses encircling and searching step by step, he will be caught by the enemy soon!
Sima Zhao was in a panic, of course he began to regret that he should not have come out of Yongzhou from Bingzhou so hastily.And he discovered that the mistakes he made before were actually more than this. After the assassination failed, he actually didn't choose to retreat back to Bingzhou in time!
However, Sima Zhao was still a little surprised.Because he felt that the actions of the Shu Han army were too fast, which made people feel unbelievable.

The passage to the north of Dali County is the best passage for Sima Zhao to escape, but according to the current investigation by his subordinates, all passages there have already been cut off by the Shu Han army on the day when the assassination failed.

The question is, how could the Shu Han army move so fast?Because according to the information he had obtained a long time ago, it was impossible for so many troops in Dali City to go to the north to blockade.

Moreover, Sima Zhao has always placed eyeliner around Dali County. If Liu Chan is really that powerful, he would have guessed right away that the assassins who assassinated him were actually from Cao Wei, so he was called out from Dali County. When he was in the army, his eyeliner couldn't have missed it.

Therefore, how the army that blocked all the passages in the north of Dali County that day really made Sima Zhao puzzled.

Then, Sima Zhao soon learned that the army that blocked the north of Dali County was a cavalry team.

Such information immediately made Sima Zhao feel even more strange.Because according to his information, among the various armies of the Shu Han, Wei Yan did not have a cavalry team under Wei Yan.Therefore, the origin of this cavalry team that suddenly appeared in Dali County is also known as a mystery, which once again made Sima Zhao feel extremely distressed.

However, what that army actually looks like seems to have become less important.

Because at this time Sima Zhao had already led a group of his men to the northern border in order to avoid the blanket search of Wei Yan's men, but there was no way to go to Bingzhou!
So, in order to save his own life, Sima Zhao began to think hard about a way out.

On the second day, Wei Yan's search team had arrived forty miles away from where Sima Zhao was.According to this speed, Wei Yan's men should be able to capture Sima Zhao within the next two or three days.

Sima Zhao was very anxious, even a little out of breath.

At this time, Jin Zheng brought Jin Ri to see Sima Zhao.The expressions on the faces of these two people seemed quite anxious, and the long scar on Jin Zheng's face made his expression even more terrifying.

When Jin Zheng came to Sima Zhao, he immediately asked, "Young master, I heard that Wei Yan's troops have arrived forty miles south of here, is that true?"

Sima Zhao sighed, and said with some discouragement: "Yes. Fortunately, we moved out of that deserted small village in time, otherwise Wei Yan might have caught him long ago, right?"

Jin Zheng nodded in agreement, and said, "Judging from the speed of Wei Yan's army moving so fast, I'm afraid that some of the eyeliner we originally set up should have been caught by them, and then they confessed our whereabouts. Therefore, Wei Yan's troops just There will be such a quick action. However, judging from the current situation, as the search range is further compressed, their next actions will become faster!"

In fact, Jin Zheng is very experienced in this area of ​​affairs, and what he said is very correct.Although Sima Zhao was quite conceited, he had to admit that Jin Zheng's views were correct.Therefore, the time left for them to escape has become less and less.

Sima Zhao immediately asked: "Then tell me, with the manpower we have now, can we forcibly break through the checkpoint set up by the Shu Han army in the north and return to Bingzhou territory?"

Jin Zheng shook his head and said: "Young Master, the only remaining people around him are only about [-] people, and there are at least a few hundred people in each road card of the other party. Moreover, there must be a close relationship between them. Contact. Do you think that when we attack one of the Lukas, people in other places will be able to notice? What's more, the Shuhan army blocking the north is a cavalry team with high-speed mobility. The speed of support between them will be much faster. There is no way you don't know that."

When Sima Zhao heard the words, his face suddenly became extremely pale.

When he thought that he would die in Liu Chan's hands like his uncles, and he couldn't even find his body, he couldn't help but tremble.

After all, Sima Zhao couldn't help showing extreme fear, and shouted loudly: "Could it be that we can only sit and wait for death, and finally be caught by Wei Yan, and then beheaded by Liu Adou?"

Hearing this, Jin Zheng couldn't help sighing, and said sincerely: "Young master, the enemy is still relatively far away from us, so just wait a little longer, maybe we can find a chance to escape from Yongzhou at that time." gone?"

Jin Zheng's consolation made Sima Zhao feel better in his heart, and the excitement in his heart immediately became much calmer, which made his mind also start to calm down.

Then, Sima Zhaocai said: "Well, we can only wait here now, and then continue to think about ways to escape from Yongzhou."

Having said that, Sima Zhao couldn't help turning around and looking at the mountains to the north.It was in the direction of Bingzhou and Jinyang, and he was longing for his father, Sima Yi, to mobilize the army to rescue him at this time, how wonderful it would be!
But Sima Zhao knew that with Sima Yi's extremely cautious character, it was impossible to easily launch an army because of his son.

What's more, sending troops to Yongzhou is definitely not a trivial matter.Although Sima Yi served as the commander-in-chief of the army in the two prefectures of Youbin, Cao Rui's permission was still required to take military action.

Therefore, Sima Zhao felt that, no matter from which level, it was impossible for him to get his father's help now.

Therefore, Sima Zhao gradually became clear in his heart that if he wanted to escape this time, the only one he could rely on in the end was himself.

Sima Zhao then gritted his teeth, thinking fiercely in his heart: Liu Adou, if you still can't kill me Sima Zhao this time, I will definitely make you pay a hundred times the price in the future!
