"What? Zhuge Ke actually retreated?" Master Sima said in disbelief.

Like Zhuge Ke, Sima Division had been in ambush here for three days. After experiencing the miserable wind and cold rain, Sima Division was filled with mixed feelings when he heard the news of Zhuge Ke's withdrawal.

For this plan, Master Sima took great pains and racked his brains, trying to make it foolproof.

The purpose of sending Qin Yuan to surrender to the Wu army was to lure Zhuge Ke into taking the bait. Master Sima considered this plan over and over again, but nothing happened.

As expected, the first half of this plan was executed perfectly. Not to mention anything else, just the news of Cao Liang's whereabouts was enough to make Zhuge Ke's heart flutter.

Zhuge Ke sent troops to Guichoujian and set up an ambush at Wuqiangkou. Sima Shi knew all this clearly. He ran to see Sima Yi and told Sima Yi that an unidentified Wei army was found behind the Wei army and tried to destroy the Wei army.

At the grain road, Sima Division asked Sima Yi to dispatch troops to strengthen the protection of the grain road.

Master Sima deliberately concealed some things. It’s not that he didn’t want to tell the truth to Sima Yi, but he hoped to give Sima Yi a surprise after this battle. Master Sima believed that he could handle this matter very well.

There is no need to alarm Sima Yi.

Without saying a word, Sima Yi immediately allocated 20,000 soldiers and horses to Sima Division. He had full power to dispatch them and was responsible for searching for the whereabouts of the Wu army. If necessary, he could kill them first and then report them. There was no need to support him.

Obviously, Sima Yi still attaches great importance to this grain road and will never allow it to have any mistakes. Although the 15,000 soldiers of the Southern Conquest Army are responsible for escorting grain and grass, Sima Yi knows that this amount of troops can only maintain the normal grain transportation.

It was just a matter of reluctance. If they were attacked by the Wu army, it would be difficult to save the food and grass.

So Sima Yi did not hesitate to allocate 20,000 troops to Sima Division, which made Sima Division secretly happy. With a perfect plan and a sufficient number of troops, it would be difficult for Sima Division to succeed this time.

This time's plan, to be more precise, is that the mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind. Cao Liang is the cicada, Zhuge Ke is the mantis, and his Sima Shi is the oriole.

Therefore, Master Sima was not in a hurry. He sent out scouts to monitor every move of the Wu army, while he led the Wei army and hid in Zangyun Ridge, more than ten miles away from Wuqiangkou, closely monitoring the movements of the Wu army. Only Zhuge

When Ke and Cao Liang fight to the point of losing both sides, Sima Shi will come out to clean up the mess.

But God was not in his favor. As soon as Sima Division led his army to Zangyunling, it started to rain heavily for three consecutive days. The Wei army, like the Wu army, did not dare to set up camp or bury pots to make rice.

When it rains, eat some dry food and wait patiently in the wind and rain.

What Zhuge Ke was waiting hard for was Cao Liang's appearance, while what Sima Shi was waiting hard for was the outcome of the battle between the two armies. In fact, they both came to the same end by different routes. Only when the Conquering Southern Army appeared could this battle be fought.

Sima Division and Yin Yin were a little worried. Because of the bad weather, the Southern Army would be a little later than usual. They didn't know if Zhuge Ke would give up. If Cao Liang never showed up, Zhuge Ke would definitely retreat. At this moment, Sima Division

It is already extremely confusing. If Zhuge Ke retreats, should he attack or not?

This is really a difficult decision. If the Wu army is unscathed, the total number of troops will be greater than that of the Wei army. Moreover, most of the troops led by Zhuge Ke are Danyang soldiers. These Danyang soldiers are brave and good at fighting and are familiar with the mountains. If Sima Division

If we were to block Wu Jun, we really couldn't predict the outcome.

Fortunately, Sima Division struggled for two days, and finally got the exact news today. Cao Liang led the Southern Expedition Army to escort the grain and grass to Wuqiangkou, and separated from Xiaoqi Camp. He relocated Xiaoqi Camp to Wuqiangkou more than ten kilometers away.

In a small town a few miles away, the rest of the army escorted the grain truck into the valley.

If you don't seek death, you won't have to die. After hearing the news, Master Sima sneered secretly. Cao Liang actually abandoned the most powerful force of the Xiaoqi battalion, which was tantamount to giving himself a death sentence.

Master Sima had been paying close attention to the battle at Wuqiangkou. He was waiting for a suitable opportunity. To be precise, he was waiting for Zhuge Ke to kill Cao Liang before sending troops.

Master Sima was somewhat complacent. This two-birds-with-one-stone plan was indeed a wonderful one. It could not only kill people with a borrowed sword and remove the thorn in his side, but also severely injure Zhuge Ke and create an opportunity for Sima Yi to seize Guichou Stream. It really killed two birds with one stone.

However, the latest news came to disappoint Sima Shi. The Xiaoqi battalion arrived in time and successfully rescued the besieged Cao Liang and others. Seeing that the situation was over, Zhuge Ke led his troops to retreat angrily.

"Waste! What a useless waste! What kind of bullshit Danyang soldiers have such little fighting power, how dare they be called the most elite in the world?" Master Sima said angrily, his face turned blue.

He originally had high hopes for the Danyang soldiers of the Wu army, hoping that they could get rid of his enemies for him, but he did not expect that they were no match for the Xiaoqi battalion. They were beaten to a pulp in one round. It is no wonder that Sima Shihui came to complain.

.

Zhong Hui also frowned secretly. Obviously, this result was beyond his expectation. His plan had gone very smoothly before, but he did not expect that at the last moment, it would fall short.

"Major General, what should we do now? Should we follow the original plan to block the Wu army?" Since an accident occurred, Zhong Hui needed to consult Sima Division for his opinion to see if the original plan should be implemented.

Master Sima said bitterly: "Of course we will fight. We would have been soaked in the rain these days. Since Zhuge Ke's Danyang soldiers are useless, it is the time for us to beat the drowned dog. If we can capture Zhuge Ke,

Ke Gui Chou Jian is at your fingertips."

What is lost must be gained no matter how hard it is. Sima Shi's original plan was to wait until both of them were defeated in the fight, and then step forward to clean up the mess and reap the benefits. Although there are some mistakes in the plan now, it does not affect the situation.

He faced Fang Ge Ke.

What's more, now that Zhuge Ke has returned from defeat, his momentum must be much lower than after winning the battle. Isn't this the time when he beats a drowned dog?

Sima Division immediately ordered an ambush to be set up along the Wu army's only path to stop the Wu army. Sima Division ordered that anyone who kills Zhuge Ke's head will be promoted to three levels and receive a reward of tens of millions.
