The envoy ran overnight and soon arrived at the front line. He entered the Shu army camp in Qishan. Kong Ming welcomed him into the camp. After receiving the imperial edict, he felt confused. He waited to send the envoy away and took out the "Dunjia Tianshu" and prepared to call the video. The result showed that the other party could not
Connected, then I remembered that Yu Yi went to the Nanman, and the video signal might have been disturbed. I sighed to the sky: "Empress Huang Ruier is a female after all, and someone must have slandered her. Our Shu army has just won and is in full swing.
Why are we summoned back at this time? If I don’t obey orders, the ministers in the court will definitely make suggestions, saying that they are holding troops and placing themselves, and that they are deceiving Your Majesty. If they are ordered to return, then there will be no such opportunity in the Northern Expedition in the future." In fact, Sima Yi was also
Keep one hand and just want to defeat it with wisdom. After all, the power of the demon star is not so easy to obtain and cannot be used until the critical moment.
After Jiang Wei and Yang Yi got the news, they entered the camp and asked, "What should we do?"
Kong Ming said: "Let's go back, otherwise we will be in chaos behind us if we bear the reputation of cheating the monarch."
Jiang Wei said: "Now the empress is a ruling party. She does not understand military affairs. The prime minister can send envoys to explain the situation. After the new emperor returns from the Southern Barbarians, he will make a decision."
Kong Ming sighed: "This must be Sima Yi sent spies to spread rumors in Hanzhong. Now we are not only facing Huang Ruier, but also ministers in the court who opposes the Northern Expedition, and the powerful people who oppose the Northern Expedition. It is time to go back and rectify their internal affairs."
Jiang Wei nodded and said, "That's all, but at this time we retreated from the army. What should Sima Yi do if he took the opportunity to cover up and kill him?"
Kong Ming said: "We can withdraw from the army in five ways. Today we will retreat to this camp first. If there are 1,000 troops in the camp, we will prepare two thousand earth stoves, and prepare another three thousand tomorrow. We will increase in order to retreat every day.
Just add the earth stove."
Yang Yi said: "Before, Sun Bin captured Pang Hua, and used the method of increasing the earth stove to win. Now that the Prime Minister retreated, is he imitating this?"
Reply: "I know Sima Yi, he is very good at using troops. He knows that we retreat and knows my personality. He will definitely set up ambushes, so he will enter the camp and count our earth stove. If he sees the increase every day, he will definitely
I felt confused and didn't know whether our troops retreated or how much they retreated, so I didn't dare to chase them. If we slowly retreated, we would not suffer any disasters of losing our troops." So I ordered the troops to retreat.
Sima Yi was thinking about the next plan in the Wei army camp. He expected that Gouan's affairs should be done well. He just waited until the Shu army retreated and they were killed together. While hesitating, a spy suddenly came to report that the Shu army camp was empty and the soldiers were
All left.
Sima Yi knew that Kong Ming was cautious and would definitely be prepared, and did not dare to chase him easily. He took a hundred cavalry to the Shu army camp to observe the earth stove, let the number of soldiers, and then returned to the Wei army camp, and on the second day,
He asked the soldiers to count again. As required, the soldiers went to the camp to check the number and replied: "There are more earth stoves in the Shu army camp than before."
Sima Yi said to everyone: "According to my judgment, Kong Ming must have ambushed after retreating his troops, otherwise there would be no more earth stoves. If we chased him, we would be ambushed. It would be better for us to retreat first and then think of other solutions.
”
During this process, Sima Yi was preparing to use the power of the corpse soldiers, but the power of the demon star seemed unstable. He didn't know why, so he temporarily gave up this plan.
The final result was that Kong Ming did not lose a Shu army and retreated toward Hanzhong. On the second day, the locals came to report to Sima Yi, saying that when Kong Ming retreated, there was no additional troops or ambush, but it was only increased.
Number of earth stoves.
After hearing this, Sima Yi sighed: "Kong Ming imitated Yu Xu's method and deliberately increased the number of earth stoves and deceived me. From this perspective, my strategy was not as good as his!" So he led the army back to Luoyang.
In the Nanman Secret Cave, everyone once again came to a wide place, with a statue erected in the middle, but it was different from the previous statue of the witch. This time the statue was a very strong man, with clear muscles and lines, but strange
The statue is not dressed and is completely naked.
Yu Yi smiled in his heart and said, "Are you doing performance art?"
From the retreat of the black worms, we can see that they should have boundary consciousness. It is obvious that this statue is a new boundary, which proves that there are even more terrifying things behind it.
Among the characters who were traveling with them, except for two ladies among the barbarian soldiers, they were Zhuri. However, they did not have any special expression when they saw the statue, but instead felt normal, which made Yu Yi sigh at the openness of the Southern Barbarians.
There are also words under the statue. Yu Yi pulled Zhuri to translate it. After Zhuri finished reading it, he sighed: "This is the ancestor of our Southern Barbarians, and the founder of this tribe!"
After hearing this, the Nanman people knelt on the ground, as if the statue in front of them was no longer an ordinary person, but a god.
Yu Yi looked up at the statue again, feeling that he was smiling at him. Wang Can and Zhong Ke were a little embarrassed, even though everyone was a man.
The Nanman people knelt down for a long time, kowtowed three times before they slowly stood up. Zhuri walked to Yuyi and said, "According to records, the ancestors of the Nanman were more than 10,000 years away from us, and they didn't wear clothes at that time.
It's also very normal."
Yu Yi smiled helplessly, then got up seriously and said, "Whether it is a black snake or the black insect behind it, the Nanman secret cave is really too dangerous. Since he has faced his ancestors, has he told us how to get out!"
Zhu Ri said: "According to the instructions of our ancestors, there will be coffins of the four ancestors, the Man Kings of the Great Ancestors, and there will be a magical artifact in each coffin. Take out the 4 pieces and combine them into one!"
Yu Yi was very happy after hearing this and said, "This has pointed out the direction for us, otherwise we would not know what poison we would encounter."
So everyone rested for a while and walked deeper together. Halfway through, they suddenly saw a skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground, bent down, holding a book in their hands, with their heads lowered, and seemed to be thinking before they died.
What.
Yu Yi asked, "Did he also ventured into the Nanman Secret Cave and then trapped the person here?"
Zhuri walked forward, observed carefully, shook his head, and said, "It shouldn't be!"
At this moment, an earthquake occurred in the secret cave of the Nanman. Everyone couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground one after another. Yu Yi tried his best to remain calm and observed the surrounding environment, fearing that some poison would appear again.
Fortunately, the earthquake stopped soon, and a Shu soldier pointed to the wall not far away and said, "Texts and pictures appear here."
Another Shu soldier said: "A entrance seems to appear here."
So everyone came to the picture. Yu Yi saw a barbarian in the picture holding a sword and entering a place. Behind him were four warriors wearing vine armor. They were holding different weapons and their mounts were different poisons.
The beast, standing opposite, was a black aura, and his eyes were red.
Zhuri looked at the picture, then looked back at the skeleton, and sighed: "You can be sure that he is not an adventurer, he is a prophet of the Southern Barbarians!"
