Just as Sima Yi and shamoko tried their best to rush towards the top of the mountain, the Jiaozhou army at the southern foot of the mountain just walked and stopped. It took an hour to reach the halfway of the mountain.

The deputy general looked at the mountain and listened to the sound of fierce fighting from time to time. He couldn't help worrying.

"General, Sima Yi's military order made it clear that our army should reach the top of the mountain before three quarters of an hour and form a three-sided encirclement. Now an hour has passed, but it's only half the way. I'm afraid it will delay the general order. It's said that Sima Yi's military discipline is strict. Even his brother, the school drill, was delayed for half a quarter of an hour and was beaten to pieces. We can't touch that mold Head. "

The chief general was named Yuan Ze. He was a general in his thirties and sixties. When he listened to the deputy general, he despised him very much.

"Although Jiaozhou is now under the command of his sun CE, it has dominated the country for decades. How can he manage Yuan Mou according to the military discipline of his Sima family? The Lord handed over the 8000 sergeants to me, and I can't let the soldiers die in vain. After half the fight on the top of the mountain, our army can clean up the mess."

Another general nearby quickly praised: "the general is smart. This is just what the snipe and clam fight for. At that time, Sima Yi will be seriously killed and injured. How can we have the strength to punish us with military orders? If you annoy the general, we'll turn against his mother. We'll grab it together with Guiyang County at that time."

"Hahaha, well said." Yuan Ze was so happy that he burst out laughing.

Just then, several shadows rolled down from the mountain. Tens of meters away from the right side of the army, there was a cliff. These shadows fell from the cliff and smashed.

"Nei... There are two strongholds' back camps. There are dense forests. Coupled with the cliffs and cliffs, there are few guards on weekdays. In addition, now the front is attacked by a large army, so our army can have such unimpeded access. Don't you want Sima Yi to attack the stronghold so soon?"

The deputy general looked at the dark shadows that were obviously corpses and was not surprised.

You know, although the two marching routes of Sima Yi and shamoko are relatively gentle, there are many traps and secret sentries. These two strongholds are always easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is extremely difficult for them to attack the mountain from the foot of the mountain and break into the stronghold gate in more than one hour, not to mention 60000 or 70000 troops. Otherwise, why should they harm this place for so many years.

"Impossible? Sima Yi is only in her twenties. Even if Sun Wu is reborn and can't be reborn so quickly."

Although the flattering general said so, he was obviously afraid of Sima Yi in his expression.

Yuan Ze didn't care: "no matter how much skill he has, it's impossible to capture two mountain strongholds overnight. Besides, we are sent by the assassin's mansion. What grade is he and how can we deal with you and me?"

Having said that, he ordered to stop taking a rest and set off immediately.

The more you go up the mountain, the more fierce the fighting sound becomes. Finally, not only do bodies fall off the cliff, but also the hillside where people travel is covered with broken limb debris on the branches. It is thought that the trees are too dense, and the complete bodies are blocked by the trees, so it is difficult to roll down.

The crowd was also a little surprised to see such a scene.

These eight thousand soldiers, said to be sergeants, are actually just local county soldiers and county soldiers. They are made up of real elite soldiers. Naturally, they are under the command of several brothers of SHIXIE.

These 8000 people have participated in the small-scale bandit suppression of dozens of people and hundreds of people on weekdays. Have you ever seen such a battle?

The soldiers thought they were just coming for a show and didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that it's not the case. This makes everyone timid before fighting, and their morale, which is not high, is depressed by three points again.

Yuan Ze also saw that the situation was somewhat unexpected. He couldn't help sweating on his forehead and figured out how to explain if Sima Yi asked. Or the thief army flees from here. How can he stop it? When the other party wants to run for his life, he must fight to the death. If he stops, he is afraid that he will fall into a bloody battle. If he doesn't stop, it will be the biggest crime in the army.

If the fighter is delayed and the enemy is released, the assassin will not be able to protect himself. It is even possible that when sun CE is held accountable in the future, the assassin will push himself out as a scapegoat.

Just as he was rapidly calculating his future in his mind, the deputy general suddenly shouted, "general, someone is coming ahead!"

Yuan Ze was surprised and almost fell off his horse. He hurriedly stabilized his body, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and looked ahead.

But unknowingly, his army is not far from the top of the mountain. Calculated the distance, it has also gone through 60% or 70% of the mountain road.

Looking intently, in the dense forest ahead, there was a man in armor, picking up the vegetation and walking towards Yuan Ze and others from the mountain. However, when he looked carefully, he was followed by several people, but the vegetation was lush, and the number and appearance could not be seen for a moment.

"Alert! The enemy is going to flee!" Yuan Ze shouted hurriedly.

"General, that seems to be a soldier in Jiangdong." The deputy general's reminder made Yuan Ze notice that the man's armor was indeed the style of Jiang Dongjun.

He then calmed down and sent someone to pick up the other party. Then, on his horse's back, he asked condescensively, "how's the war on the mountain? I think it must be very sticky? And he told general Sima that although the south foot is steep and difficult, our army will work hard and see that it is about to reach the top. He will help the general fight bravely and destroy the bandits."

His words were just and correct, and he had completely lost his timid appearance before.

The other party ignored him. First, he sorted out his helmet and photographed the scattered branches and leaves on his body, which made Yuan Ze feel a little flustered.

After cleaning up, the man took out a black arrow and said in a harsh voice: "summon the general of the South..."

After saying that, he stared at Yuan Ze. Reminded by the deputy general, he remembered that he should get off the horse and take the order. Then he quickly turned over his horse's back and bowed his head and hugged his fist.

"General Order: today, the three armies gathered together to attack the stronghold and report to the imperial court. It was a great good move to put Lishu in peace. However, the Colonel Yuan Ze, who marched lightly and delayed the military order, caused heavy losses to our army. He was almost defeated. He beheaded in front of the army, and the other generals led 30 military sticks and sent them back to the prefecture governor's office for punishment."

"What? You..."

Yuan Ze was shocked and turned pale. Just as he was about to defend, several warriors behind the herald suddenly strode forward. One of them pulled out his sword. After a cold light flashed, before they could react, they saw Yuan Ze's head flying off his neck. Then the blood column rushed to the sky and dyed the armor of the surrounding Deputy generals and several Jiaozhou generals scarlet.

A moment later, the crowd returned to their senses and immediately retreated in fear.

"Kill, they... They killed the general..."

The deputy general looked pale at the herald and his voice trembled: "you... How dare you commit murder?"

The herald glanced at him and sneered: "the general's military order is clear. He arrived at the top of the mountain three quarters ago. Now it has been delayed for more than two quarters. According to the military order, the main general was beheaded, and the other generals had 60 military sticks. In the face of the assassin, he reduced your military sticks by half. It's an extrajudicial kindness. Dare you refuse?"

At the end of his words, several warriors behind him immediately took out their swords, protected them in front of the herald, and glared at the deputy general and others.

Looking at the figures of these people and their evil spirit, we know that they are not ordinary people. They must be experts who can be trained after fighting among thousands of troops for many years.

The deputy general looked at the 8000 troops behind him. Although there were a large number of people, they didn't have much morale. At present, they were scared to death.

He swallowed his saliva and reluctantly piled up a smile: "no... dare not... Subordinates, willing to accept the blame..."

In the past, he also led the military staff in the Jiaozhou army. Although it was difficult, he was not unable to survive with 30 staff. He would be fine if he went home to recover for more than ten days. There was no need to turn against Sima Yi for this.

He winked at the other four generals, and they immediately understood and willingly stepped forward to admit the punishment.

Several warriors came up to them, put away their swords, untied the five men's armor, and then took the stick that had just been put in the nearby grass and began to execute.

"One..."

As soon as the stick went down, five people, including the deputy general, immediately cried out in pain.

"Ouch... My mother..."

The five people hurried away. The power of the military staff was much stronger than that of the Jiaozhou army. When the staff came down, their bones were almost broken, and their internal organs were almost moved. If they really had to endure these thirty staff, they were afraid that they would die if they didn't die.

"No, it's absolutely impossible. If these thirty sticks go down, we will all die in the barren mountain. Please be kind to the general."

The deputy general repeatedly begged for mercy, as did the other four.

The herald shouted angrily, "bold, is there any joke in the army? If you don't obey the law, you will be regarded as disobeying the military order and beheaded."

The Deputy turned his eyes, took a ring from his finger, took the herald aside and slipped it into his hand.

"Hey, hey, although this sapphire ring is not valuable, it is also worth tens of thousands of money in the Central Plains generation. It's just a matter of heart. Please accept it."

Unexpectedly, the herald snatched the ring, threw it aside and angrily scolded, "reckless, dare to bribe Shangguan. The crime is even worse. Come and punish them with 60 sticks!"

The deputy general was furious when he saw that the man was soft and hard and insisted on killing himself here alive.

"Well, you shameless thing. I have 8000 troops here. Dare you go wild?"

He shouted at his back: "brothers, Sima Xiaoer clearly despises our soldiers in Jiaozhou and wants to kill us. Today, he turned his back on his mother, killed these men and returned to Jiaozhou to see what Sima Yi can do to me!"

On the top of the mountain, in the hall of one of the mountain strongholds, Sima Yi sat high in the main seat, and at the bottom stood two middle-aged men who were burly and had a very vicissitudes of face. They were the two stronghold leaders here, but they were very respectful to Sima Yi and didn't look like a life and death enemy at all.

One of them asked Sima Yi, "general, now we all act according to what you said. We have handed over tens of thousands of brothers and hundreds of thousands of old and young people in the stronghold to you. We have arranged those fake corpses in the south mountain. You can't go back on what you promised us."

Sima Yi walked down in person, holding their hands affectionately.

"Ha ha, you two are worried. I have already played the emperor with your loyalty. I think there will be an imperial edict to grant you Marquis and knights in a few days. Besides, although the people in the stronghold are nominally attached, I still let you personally command them. You are afraid that I will break my words and become fat? As for the house promised to you, I am ready to go down the mountain , you can go to your own house to have a rest. There are ten beauties in each house. Each of them is the virgin of 28 years. "

After hearing this, the eyes of both men showed a lustful color.

Although they have been in the mountains for nearly 20 years, they are tired of it now. In addition, their grades are getting older and older, and their desire to compete for supremacy is also declining.

Not long ago, Sima Yi went into the stronghold alone, persuaded them to surrender, and promised to allocate a county to them as a fief, while they continued to command their respective forces.

Seeing that he dared to come alone, they showed their sincerity. In addition, they could continue to have their own army. After considering it for a few days, they also agreed to surrender. After all, how can they be as comfortable as being an official or even a marquis?

Just then, a pawn ran into the hall.

"Report to the general that the army of Jiaozhou has opposed."

Sima Yi smelled the speech and the smile on her face became more and more brilliant
