However, when approaching the Spirit Stone Pass, a trace of uneasiness flashed through Sima Yi's heart. It was too calm, a little strange, without shouting or fighting, and it was not like a battlefield at all.

At this moment, the sky was bright and the fog covered everything. Sima Yi, who was running all the way, had to slow down. Under such weather conditions, it was very beneficial to the enemy's ambush. Of course, the cautious Sima Yi would not take the risk of advancing lightly.

What's more, it's too quiet here, and it's a bit unnatural. This has to make Sima Yi more cautious and order the entire army to remain on high alert, and send a team of scouts to find out the situation.

In this fog, even experienced scouts had to be careful. He walked forward very carefully and listened to everything behind the thick fog. These scouts had a particularly sensitive ear, and even if a pine needle fell to the ground, they would not miss it.

But it was strange that there was no sound here, as if there was an unmanned wilderness, but this should be the place where both sides fought. How could there be no movement?

The scout went forward, although he could not hear any sound, but he could smell a strong smell of blood, because the smell of blood was quite heavy, covering almost the entire valley, which was disgusting.

The scout team was full of doubts. Since they could smell the heavy-tasting bloody smell, they could not see any figure or hear any sound. This was really strange.

They walked forward and finally saw corpses all over the ground. Most of these corpses were from Sima Army soldiers, densely packed and layered. It made these scouts so scary. There were so many Sima soldiers dead here. Did they be destroyed by the regiment?

The scout team continued to reconnaissance, but was reported to Sima Yi by someone returning.

After hearing the news, Sima Yi's expression changed drastically. He found so many Sima soldiers' bodies in the valley. Could it be that his vanguard troops had been destroyed?

You should know that among this vanguard army, there are his two sons and his most valued beloved general Sun Li, and Sima Yi doesn't want anything to happen to them.

When the scout team found that there was no ambush, Sima Yi rushed to the valley. At this moment, the fog had dissipated a little, and it could be seen clearly within a few hundred steps.

Although Sima Yi was already prepared, he still took a breath of cold air when he saw the scene in front of him. The dense corpses filled the entire valley. It is conceivable how many people died in Sima Jun's battle.

However, even though Sima Yi had seen a big scene, even though the scene in front of him made many Sima soldiers look disgusted, Sima Yi's face was still as cold as ever.

At this time, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao also received the news of the arrival of Sima's army, hurriedly rushed down from the mountain, and happened to meet Sima Yi.

"Father--" Sima Shi and Sima Zhao both bowed. The battle was so defeated. As the deputy vanguards, they naturally had the responsibility that they could not shirk. Facing Sima Yi, they could not raise their heads.

Sima Yi was relieved when he saw Sima Shi and Sima Zhao safe and sound. He looked around and found that there was no Sun Li's figure. He frowned slightly and said, "Where is Sun Deda?"

Deda is Sun Li's name, and Sima Shi and Sima Zhao looked at each other for a moment, and Sima Shi said sternly: "When General Sun fought with the enemy last night, he was plotted against the enemy's cold arrow and unfortunately died."

Sun Li has not arrived for a long time, and Sima Yi probably had already calculated the result. After hearing the exact information from Sima Shi, Sima Yi couldn't help but burst into tears and asked where his body was.

Sima Shi stayed on the top of the mountain, and the news of Sun Li's death was reported by his soldiers. As for what happened after Sun Li's death, he really didn't know. At this time, Sima Yi mentioned that Sima Shi quickly sent someone to search for it.

Although it was a corpse all over the ground, the armor that Sun Li wore was still obviously different from other soldiers. Sima Bing searched for a long time and finally found a headless corpse from the pile of corpses. The armor and cloak on his body were obviously indeed Sun Li's, but his head had disappeared, and only a blood hole as big as a bowl was left on his neck. The wound was no longer bleeding, and it showed a black and purple scab.

There is no doubt that Sun Li's head was cut off by the Bingzhou Army. This is also a common practice on the battlefield. No one can run back and forth with a corpse. Generally, a head is required to report merit. Sun Li's head must be valuable.

It must have been the time when the Bingzhou Army retreated, and it was not convenient to carry Sun Li's body, so the head was cut off. But the vanguard of Sima Army was beheaded by someone, which was naturally the greatest shame for Sima Army. Many people saw Sun Li's headless corpse, and were both sad and indignant. They shouted in unison, wanting to avenge Sun Li's revenge.

Sima Shi said to Sima Yi with a shameless face: "Father, it was because of the incompetence of the child that led to this defeat, which led to General Sun's death on the battlefield. Please deal with it according to military law."

Sima Zhao also rushed to say, "Father, you can't blame your brother for this matter. I have a responsibility, so please punish me."

Sima Yi looked up at Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, shook his head gently, and said slowly: "This defeat, the responsibility is not on you, nor on Deda. The one who is responsible for this battle is for the father. After all, it is caused by the father underestimating the enemy. The Ming enemy Cao Liang is a strong enemy, but he still lets you advance lightly and fall into the ambush of the enemy. My crime is my fault! Although I did not kill Deda, Deda died because of me. I sent an order to collect Deda's body and transport it back to Luoyang, and buried it with the ceremony of the three dukes. The lost head is ordered by the craftsmen in the palace to inlay it with gold. The title of Daliting Marquis was his grandson, Sun Yuanchengsheng, and added a thousand households to express his merits."

Sima Yi was very sad about Sun Li's death, but the dead were gone and he could not be reborn. Sima Yi had to bury him with a grandson, which was also considered to be a compassion for this loyal subordinate who had followed him for many years.

Sun Li's son died early, and there was only one grandson in the family named Sun Yuan, who was still underage, so Sun Li's title was inherited by his grandson Sun Yuan, and he added a fief of thousands of households, which was the greatest compensation to the Sun family.

Sima Yi arranged Sun Li's funeral, and Sima Zhao actively asked for his order, saying: "Father, the Bingzhou rebel army has fled to Jiexiu at this moment, but they are all infantrymen, so they must have escaped not far. The child is willing to lead a light cavalry to pursue and avenge General Sun!"
