Sima Yichang hurriedly said, "The General of the Mo has no intention. It's just that the General of the Mo believes that there are Wei Qi Battalions guarding Fuling. Although the Xiao Qi Battalions are not as powerful as the Tun Qi Battalions, the Xiao Qi Battalions have always been known for their speed. The Fuling road is long. If the Xiao Qi Battalions pursue them all the way, our army will definitely not be able to return to Jianye safely."

It has to be said that the three major cavalry aces of the Wei army have their own characteristics. The troops and horses of the cavalry camp are all over the heavy armor, and their defense capabilities are unparalleled in the world. The ability to attack in close combat is unmatched by anyone; the Yue cavalry camp is all archers, all equipped with bows and crossbows, and good at long-range attacks; while the cavalry camp is known for its maneuverability, and no one can match its speed advantage.

This time, Cao Liang went to Huainan to fight, and did not bring Yue Qi Battalion, but only brought Tun Qi Battalion and Xiao Qi Battalion, plus two ordinary cavalry battalions: Jin Qi Battalion and Guo Qi Battalion.

From the perspective of roundabout encirclement, these cavalry battalions are already enough. Cao Liang arranged the cavalry battalion to Fucheng, which is quite meaningful and has tactical considerations.

Xiaoyaojin actually only has one line of defense. Once the Wu army breaks through, there will be a navy behind him. Therefore, Cao Liang arranged the Tunqi Battalion in Xiaoyaojin. His purpose is very clear, which is to use the Tunqi Battalion's strong offensive and defensive capabilities to block the Wu army of tens of thousands between Xincheng and Xiaoyaojin, and then wait for the main force of the Wei army to arrive, and then wipe out the Wu army in one fell swoop.

Fucheng is different. The road here is long. Even if the Wu army breaks through Chendi, it does not mean that they can escape calmly. The Xiaoqi Camp can pursue and kill all the way. With the speed of the Wu army, it is impossible to compare with the Xiaoqi Camp. The entire Fucheng Road will probably be filled with blood and corpses gathered like mountains, and no Wu soldier can escape back.

Sun Qi frowned. Although he admitted that Sima Yichang was saying it was true, if neither road could be taken, wouldn’t the Wu army have no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth? Where should the hundreds of thousands of Wu soldiers be trapped in Huainan?

"What should we do if Yizi sees him?" Sun Feng said helplessly.

The generals also looked at Sima Yichang with suspicion. Since they could not walk either way, they did not believe that Sima Yichang could really find a way to return to Jiangnan.

When Sima Yichang proposed a negative plan, he was already confident. He immediately took out a roll of maps, opened them, pointed to the map and said to Sun Guan: "At present, we have to change to the southeast and break through from Jiashi and Shiting. There is no strict defense of the Wei army, and there is a greater chance of breaking through."

Sun Qi also looked at the map, but he said with some confusion: "If you want to walk through Jiashishi Stone Pavilion, you must pass through Lu'an. Lujiang County is still in the hands of the Wei army. How can we overcome it?"

Sima Yiqiang said: "Although there are Wei troops guarding Lu'an, there are not many people, and at most they can only defend the city. To the east of Lu'an, there is a road that leads directly to Jiashi. When our army passes here, the Lu'an defenders will not dare to intercept it. Even if the Wei army in Xiaoyaojin rushed to Shiting after hearing the news, the mountains there are dangerous and complex terrain is not conducive to cavalry operations, so our army will be able to break out from this road."

When Sun Jing heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "It's still my son who will tell you the order to change to Lujiang and go to Jiashi."

Sima Yi quickly stopped him and said, "Prime Minister, wait, I have something to say."

Sun Fengqi said: "What will happen to you?"

Sima Yiqiang said: "Wei army is very anxious. If we directly change the southwest, the Wei army pursuers will follow us. The direction of our army's action must be controlled by the Wei army. The Wei army stationed cavalry and the second battalion of the Jinqi cavalry was in Xiaoyaojin, but they acted quickly. Once we learned that we would go to Jiashi Road, we would inevitably move troops to intercept them. Therefore, the Prime Minister must not act recklessly. He must send an army, raise all the flags and bluff, and still march towards Xiaoyaojin as planned to attract the Wei army's pursuit. The main force needs to cover up the flag and silence. When the Wei army discovers, we have arrived at Jiashi and withdraw back to Wancheng."

Sun Jing praised: "It's better that I think carefully. Zhu Xiong, Zhu Lun obeyed the order and ordered you to lead 20,000 troops, bring all the flags and drums, and make a false sense to go to Xiaoyaojin without any mistakes."

Zhu Xiong and Zhu Lun's face turned pale when they heard this. They also heard Sima Yi's words clearly. More than 100,000 troops went to Xiaoyaojin and fell into the trap. If they were asked to bring 20,000 people to the place, wouldn't they die?

Zhu Xiong and Zhu Lun immediately knelt down on the ground and begged Sun Qian: "Prime Minister, my brothers have always been loyal to the Prime Minister. Although they cannot report it to the Prime Minister even though they die, they are afraid that after we go, there will be no trusted people around the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister is in danger, who can save him? I hope the Prime Minister will show mercy, keep us by my side to take care of him, and send others to you."

Although Zhu Xiong and Zhu Lun were not capable of fighting, they were not stupid. They knew that they would die without death. However, they naturally refused to go to die for the generals, but they had to follow the orders. Sun Jing assigned them to go there. If they did not obey orders, it would be a death sentence according to military laws. So the two of them quickly played the family card and told Sun Jing that we are your confidant and we are not by our side. What risks would be there to go to Jiashishi? Who will protect you?

Sun Jing's original intention was to send two confidants to Xiaoyaojin so that he could rest assured, but he didn't expect that Zhu Xiong and Zhu Lun were so greedy and afraid of death, so they didn't dare to go there at all. Thinking about it, there were not many people around him who could trust. If Zhu Xiong and Zhu Lun were really allowed to leave, if there was something dangerous, then no one would be in a hurry. When Sun Jing heard Zhu Xiong and Zhu Lun's plea, he became hesitant again.

Sima Yiqiang saw that it was over. Wu State is really a group of bear soldiers and generals. It’s okay if they don’t have the ability to fight. At the critical moment, they are all greedy for life and fear death. No wonder the Wu army has repeatedly defeated wars. What can such a bunch of waste do?

Sima Yi sighed in his heart, "I am really a secret ball." He originally hoped to join Wu and be able to use the power of Wu to raise troops to revenge and restore the Central Plains. But now it seems that it is a mirror and a moonlight after all, and it is already very good to be able to save his life. I really think too much about other things.

Sima Yiqiang saw that the generals of Wu were cowardly and did not dare to stand up. He had to call out the deputy general Zhang Ling behind him and said to him: "General Zhang, it's better for you to lead the army to Xiaoyaojin."

Zhang Ling did not frown and took the order generously: "Yi!"

Zhang Ling and other generals followed Sima Yichang wholeheartedly, and were naturally loyal to him. Such an urgent and dangerous task, since Sima Yichang gave the order, they were determined without hesitation, even if they knew they were dead.
