Chapter 1000 Guiding the maze

Sima Shi couldn't help but look panicked. The road they took when they set out on the expedition and the closest way back to Luoyang. If the Bingzhou Army cut off this route, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Sima Army.

Because the Bingzhou army successively attacked Pingyang and Anyi, the Sima army had almost no place to stand, and their difficult march was bitten by the Bingzhou army. The most ideal solution now is that only by retreating from the Zhuguan Road to Hanoi County can we avoid greater losses.

But Sima Yi had already foreseen that Cao Liang would never let them pass the pass so easily. As long as the road to seal the Pass was sealed, the Sima army had no hope of breaking through, and could only continue to stay in Hedong and continue to be cut into pieces by the Bingzhou cavalry. Even if Sima army claimed to have 100,000 troops, it could not withstand the Bingzhou army's turn of bites. It would not take long for the 100,000 troops to be destroyed.

"Father, since the way of slaughter cannot work, where should we go?" Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi with a hopeful face, hoping that he could find a solution to bring Sima's army out of the predicament.

Sima Yi let out a long sigh, and it was obvious that his body was still extremely weak and tired. After moving his body a little, the wound on his chest ached faintly. Sima Yi sat up and talked, but after struggling for a few times, he finally lay on the couch with no heart and said slowly: "Cao Liang had a great plan this time. He would never give up if we were not killed by our father and son. The road of Zhuguan is just a trap. Cao Liang must have set up a net of heaven and earth on the road of Zhuguan, just waiting for us to drill, so we must not fall into this trap! Since we can't go east, we will go west and go to Pubanjin, cross the Yellow River from there and enter Yongzhou. With Guo Boji's support, Cao Liang must have no courage to cross the Yellow River to pursue."

Although Sima Yi was ill and Sima Master specifically told his subordinates not to disturb him in order to calm down and recover from his wounds. Many of the news Sima Yi was still unaware of, but this did not seem to hinder Sima Yi's control of the overall situation at all. It is estimated that the person in the entire Sima army who has the most thorough understanding of the situation is Sima Yi.

Cao Liang's purpose was no longer limited to defeating the cavalry of the Sima army and capturing the two counties of Pingyang, Hedong. He had a great goal now, just to wipe out Sima Yi and his son in one fell swoop. If their father and son could not escape in Hedong, then the Battle of Bingzhou would be the last battle belonging to the Sima family.

After all, Sima Yi and his two most proud sons are in the army at this moment. The Sima family in Luoyang's family is full of children, but they are either young or incompetent. Sima Yi really can't expect them to have the ability to fight against Cao Liang. So if their father and the other three failed to escape this time, then the Sima family's power that had just obtained before they had time to warm up would probably fall into Cao Liang's hands, and Sima Yi's great cause for his life would eventually be wasted.

Of course, Sima Yi didn't want to see this. Unfortunately, he was injured by the trap and was unable to get up and command the battle. Therefore, Sima Yi placed his hope of breaking through on his two sons, and of course, it was more important to entrust his eldest son Sima Shi. Whether in terms of ability or experience, Sima Shi was far better than Sima Zhao.

Sima Yi knew that God had left him too much time, so he took advantage of this opportunity and took the initiative to delegate power and handed over all military affairs to Sima Shi. Sima Yi also wanted to see if Sima Shi had the ability to lead the Sima family out of difficulties and carry forward the situation.

Of course, in the general direction, Sima Yi had to give Sima Shi's rudder to prevent him from losing his direction. For example, in this retreat, Sima Yi clearly pointed out a way for Sima Shi. The road of the gate is not feasible. If Sima Jun wants to get rid of the current predicament, he can only run west to Pubanjin and cross the Yellow River from there. Perhaps Sima Jun will have a chance to live on the front line. If he enters the road of the gate, he may fall into an abyss that will never be restored.

With Sima Yi's guidance, Sima Shi suddenly realized that at this critical moment, Sima Yi's experience played a role. If Sima Shi followed Zhong Hui's advice and led his army to Guandao and left, he would definitely fall into the trap of the Bingzhou Army, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although Sima Shi really wanted to communicate more with Sima Yi, he saw Sima Yi's exhausted and weak appearance, so he did not dare to disturb him and bowed to leave.

After getting off the carriage, Sima Shi specially ordered the servants who served Sima Yi to take good care of themselves and not to be slackened at all. If Sima Yi really had any accidents, only these servants who served were asking.

These servants dared to argue and agreed timidly.

Sima Shi was about to leave when he happened to meet Sima Zhao coming. Sima Zhao looked worried and asked, "Brother, how is his father's injury? Have he improved?"

Sima Shi smiled and said, "There is nothing serious about my father's injury, but I have to calm down and recuperate. The doctor has advised me not to let my father overwork or be angry. I have already told my servants to serve him for a long time. I believe that I will be able to go to the ground in a few days."

This time Sima Yi was in danger, thanks to Sima Zhao's efforts to rescue him. If Sima Zhao had not tried his best to block the arrow, Sima Yi would have been hit by a few more arrows, and I'm afraid the God of Daluo would not be able to save him even if he came.

Sima Zhao was relieved after hearing this, but he was still frowning. However, it was obviously not Sima Yi's business. I guess he was also worried about the development of the battle situation.

The Sima army generals, including Sima Zhao, had great hope for their return to Anyi this time. I am afraid that this would be the only way for them to get rid of their current predicament. However, they did not expect that Anyi would fall. Sima Zhao immediately became unruly. He couldn't help but feel a little confused and didn't know what to do, so Sima Zhao took the initiative to meet Sima Yi.

In Sima Zhao's impression, only Sima Yi is omnipotent. He has beautiful flowers and good plans in his heart. He has experienced countless storms in his life. Sima Zhao believes that under such a dilemma, only Sima Yi can solve it.

Sima Shi saw his thoughts and Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Second brother, follow me, you can defeat the enemy's plan, and you already have it here for me."

Sima Zhao was skeptical, the attack of Bingzhou Army has been uninterrupted, and the Sima Army has been exhausted and suffered heavy losses. Sima Shi suddenly said that he had a way to deal with the enemy, and Sima Zhao was a little suspicious. If he really had a way, why not use it earlier?
