Master Sima waited in Nanzheng for several days, and the person he saw was the spy messenger who had returned from Wei.
After all, Sima Yi served as an assistant to the government for many years, and Sima Shi also held key positions such as the general protecting the army and the general leading the army, and he was personally responsible for many secret affairs. Therefore, in the Wei State, Sima Shi still has a small number of remaining connections.
In the school affairs office, there is still one person who was placed there before.
It is not uncommon for noble families to have agents in the school affairs office. There are people from every family, not just the Sima family. Everyone wants to keep an eye on what is going on in that place, because in the past, the school affairs office did not go through government agencies.
However, due to the destruction of the Sima family, the two most important spies of the school affairs office have been traced out. A spy who was originally inconspicuous has become the only pawn of the Sima family in the school affairs office.
Sima Shi last time sent Cai Hong to sneak into Wei State to arrange for Li Yong's assassination. Before leaving Luoyang, he had secretly met with that person and threatened and induced him in order to re-activate him.
A while ago, Master Sima once again sent a messenger to sneak into Luoyang, and got some information from the school affairs office. In addition, a spy left by his ex-wife's Wu family also contacted him.
Master Sima is in a bad mood today because of the private matter he learned about from the Wu Mansion!
Jiang Wei took Sima Shi along the Mianshui River for a while, and finally stopped at the riverside.
"Crash..." The sound of the water was very noisy. On a windy day, the river surface was not calm. The turbulent water surface reflected the broken light of the morning sun, forming prodigal waves, attacking towards us one after another.
The wind in the air also hit my face, making my breathing difficult and very depressing.
Master Sima took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and turned to Jiang Wei: "The messenger returning from Luoyang went to Chengdu first, so I stayed in Nanzheng for a while, waiting to meet the messenger."
Jiang Wei immediately asked: "What's the news?"
Dai Zhong, the general of the Guanzhong Army who was persuaded by Sima Division to surrender last time, brought the secret of Guo Huai taking the small road. Jiang Wei had tasted the sweetness, and now his face also showed a look of expectation.
Sima Shidao: "The secretaries of the school affairs office have not been able to get important positions, and there is only one useful piece of news. Ma Jun has already led people to Xiangyang and is building a trebuchet near Mianshui."
When Jiang Wei heard this, he smiled slightly: "Nanxiang, that's right!"
Master Sima nodded and said: "If the trebuchet built near Xiangyang does not go through the Mian River, but instead goes around the old Guanzhong road, the distance will be as far as two thousand miles."
Jiang Wei raised his head and exhaled, then smiled and said: "Very good, Ziyuan did a great job."
When he was satisfied, he asked Master Sima with concern: "Why is Ziyuan unhappy?"
There were only two of them left on the nearby riverside. Master Sima finally spoke out: "Qin Liang, that perverted thief, annihilated my wife and ex-wife!"
Jiang Wei looked embarrassed and said: "I seem to have heard rumors that Qin Liang is not good at women, but I didn't expect to do such evil things. How did you know?"
Master Sima said: "I used to have a private meeting with Qin Liang at the home of my ex-wife Wu. Because my late father reminded me, I installed two eyes and ears in the Wu family. One of them had no place to go and is still in the Wu family.
Once, Qin Liang went to the Wu Mansion. The Zhuo Jing Yang family and his ex-wife Wu family were both at the house. Qin Liang entered the house and the three of them were in the front hall. Then the Wu family's maid heard in the front hall that there was a sound coming from the side room.
What a horrible sound!"
"This..." Jiang Wei made a sound and frowned, "Since the family members have fallen into the hands of the enemy, it is not unusual for this kind of thing to happen. Zi Yuan does not need to pay too much attention."
Master Sima said with a complex expression: "I guess they were not forced. Especially the Wu family, it is very likely that they had an affair with Qin Liang very early! I didn't notice it at first."
Jiang Wei advised again: "That's not Ziyuan's fault. The person with corrupt character is a woman. Women are difficult to raise with villains, so Ziyuan doesn't need to care."
Sima Shixin said: The person who was annihilated was not your wife, so of course you took it lightly.
In fact, Master Sima also felt that this kind of thing didn't matter in the past. His father had reminded him that Wu could be the liaison between him and Qin Liang, but Master Sima didn't care much at that time.
But when the plot of the annihilation was suddenly confirmed and even known in great detail, Master Sima felt truly ashamed and angry!
Especially Yang Huiyu, she had been Sima Shi's wife for a longer time than Wu who was soon deposed. Sima Shi was very familiar with her personality; during the years they got along with her, the relationship between husband and wife was also very good. He simply didn't like it.
Dare to imagine how unbearable Yang Huiyu would be in the arms of others.
After being provoked, Master Sima became furious and furious. He clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Qin Liang, I will cut you into pieces!"
Jiang Wei said calmly: "This is an opportunity." Master Sima stared at Jiang Wei, nodded vigorously and said: "If the enemy of the country does not avenge the hatred of the family, it will be difficult for the servant to feel at ease."
Jiang Wei greeted: "Let's go, follow me across the Mian River to Nanxiang!"
...Deng Ai had led some of his troops out of Xingshi Mountain. After leaving the mountain, he walked not far to the west before arriving at the bank of the Tang River. Some of the exhausted soldiers were still insisting on building camps, and some gathered there.
Wash your body by the water.
Just waiting for the vanguard's follow-up troops to gradually gain momentum, everyone headed south along the Tang River and soon reached Akasaka.
Deng Ai suddenly said to his generals: "Tell them not to... build a camp. Everyone here is gathered together and ready to attack!"
The generals were immediately in an uproar. Some of them couldn't bear it anymore and began to complain in front of Deng Ai.
Sima Duan Zhuo also said: "The soldiers have traveled four hundred miles on the Qinchuan Road. The road has been muddy and slippery due to the heavy rain. At this time, we are exhausted. Please allow me to allow all the troops to repair it for a day."
Duan Zhuo followed Deng Ai from Xiping County to Xuchang, and from Xuchang to Jizhou. He experienced Deng Ai's big and small battles. Now he still follows Deng Ai and serves as general Sima. He can be regarded as a close confidant of Deng Ai, so he usually speaks like
It works.
But Deng Ai pulled out a map and pointed it out to Duan Zhuo: "To the west and northwest of Nanxiang City, this place... is called Chengguan. Seize it as soon as possible and occupy it."
Duan Zhuo advised: "It's still more than a hundred miles from here to Nanxiang; we have to cross the Mian River, and it's a mountain road. Our army looks like this, and not everyone is here. If we encounter an attack by the Shu army on the way, wouldn't we?
Big defeat?"
Deng Ai frowned and said: "Shu army...attack from where?"
Duan Zhuo said: "Akasaka Castle is to the south of here."
Deng Ai shook his head and said: "Jiang Wei ran away a long time ago. He was sick, so he put his troops... in Akasaka."
At this moment, a man with arrows on his back came over on horseback. Arriving under Deng Ai's flag, the knight got down from the horse with great difficulty. He knelt down on the ground with a "plop", cupped his fists and said, "Wait, wait."
I saw the Lecheng bandit army crossing south!"
Deng Ai nodded and looked at the picture again.
Duan Zhuo said hurriedly: "Here comes someone, help him down quickly to heal his injuries."
At this time, Deng Ai raised his head and said: "Xiuran led his troops... rush to the city gate. Seize the key point and defend to the death!"
Duan Zhuo's expression was solemn, with a slightly tragic look, and he bowed and said, "I have your order!"
