The night is like splashing ink, and the heaven and earth are in a state of silence...
Jinyang City was silent, and a few miles east of the city, Chu Camp was also silent.
Everything was so peaceful, but the soldiers of the Jin and Chu armies knew that tonight was destined to be an unstable night.
The difference was that the soldiers of the Chu army were already eager to kill, using the enemy's heads to add a new achievement to their credit book.
But those Jin soldiers thought that the enemy was still in the dark. After tonight, they would successfully escape to heaven and avoid the tragic ending like when the Han army in Liyang was trapped in the isolated city.
On the top of the north gate city, Sima Yi, who was fully armored, with his dark body like a statue, had been standing there for a long time.
The wolf's eyes sunk deep into the helmet looked into the dark sky outside the city, with complex expressions flashing in their eyes.
Angry, nervous, and a bit melancholy.
Tonight, he will escape from the capital of Jin Dynasty and escape to the remote northern land. Whether he will be able to return to Jinyang in the future is still unknown.
It's strange that Sima Yi didn't feel complicated at this time.
"I didn't expect Yan Liang to be so great. I was still too optimistic. I thought that he could break through all the dangers in Bingzhou. It's really..."
Sima Yi secretly sighed in his heart. In addition to being angry at Yan Liang, he was also a little surprised and confused.
He really couldn't understand that it was just a mere man who stole the world with his cunning and brutal power, but he could actually create repeating crossbows, city-breaking cannons, bamboo paper, gunpowder and other magical things. It was simply unbelievable.
"Could it be that this person named Yan is really a god who descended to earth and is the master of his true destiny?" Such a thought suddenly flashed through Sima Yi's mind.
"No, it's impossible. He is just a lowly person with a humble background. How could God choose such a humble person as his true destiny? If he had to choose, he should choose me, Sima Yi." Sima Yi shook his head violently and gave up the idea.
.
"Although the Yan thief seems to be sweeping the world, he is cruel and unkind and will not win the hearts of the people. Sooner or later there will be chaos in the country. At that time, I, Sima Yi, will come back from killing the general and act on behalf of heaven, destroy Chu and promote Jin, and free all living beings in the world from the Yan thief.
It's time to be rescued from the clutches of the devil, yes, it must be!"
Sima Yi convinced himself, and confidence and pride filled his gloomy face again.
Looking back at Jinyang City, Sima Yi didn't hesitate anymore and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate and let the whole army break out of the city!"
Forty thousand Jin troops had already gathered on the front line of Dongcheng, and this was where all of Sima Yi's troops were.
As early as when the Chu army captured Jingxing Pass, Sima Yi had a bad premonition, so he moved the families of these soldiers to several counties in the north before the attack. It was precisely for this reason that these soldiers fled north with him.
The city gate creaked open, and groups of lightly-armed Jin soldiers quietly left the city, protecting the civil and military officials and their families, and sneaked away to the north.
On that white horse, Zhang Chunhua was also fully armed, with a dagger hanging from his waist, and came out of the city with the imperial guards.
Tens of steps away from the city, Zhang Chunhua looked back into the distance, with a look of deep reluctance.
"Yan Liang, you forced me to escape from the prosperous Jinyang to that remote and barren land. I hate you. Sooner or later, I will help my husband regain everything that belongs to me. Just wait for me.
,snort!"
With hatred in his heart, Zhang Chunhua watched Jinyang City getting further and further away until it disappeared into the night.
At this time, she sighed secretly, turned around, and headed north without hesitation.
…
Dongcheng, Chuying.
Although the night was dark, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Chu army were sleeping with their swords in their arms, as if they were ready to fight at any time.
In the imperial tent, the charcoal fire was bright, and a vague murderous aura was quietly surging.
Zhou Cang, Hu Che'er, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei and other generals of the Tiger Guard Imperial Forest Army all stood at the side, with a bit of solemnity and excitement on their faces.
Yan Liang, who was sitting high above him, looked very leisurely, drinking a small amount of wine without any excitement. It seemed that everything in the world was under his control.
The sound of footsteps suddenly started, and a Royal Forest sergeant rushed in excitedly, cupping his hands and saying: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the scouts on the northern periphery. The north gate of Jinyang has been opened wide. Tens of thousands of Jinyang left the city late at night and looked away."
There was a sudden excitement in the big tent, and the eyes of the generals on the left and right were all flashing with excitement.
Yan Liang only moved his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "Understood, pass on my decree and order all the troops to go out in full force to surround and kill that bitch Sima Yi."
Yan Liang's decree was quickly passed down, and the soldiers who were sleeping in their clothes were suddenly awakened by the sound of gongs for an urgent gathering.
The elite soldiers' instinct allowed them to quickly dispel their sleepiness, assemble as quickly as possible, and enter combat status.
There were all the gates of the camps, and more than 100,000 troops came out in full force. Their swords and armor reflected the cold light of the moon. In the dark night, they were like dragons with shining scales. They divided into more than ten groups and attacked from all directions towards the north gate.
All the foreign generals have led their troops to attack, while Zhou Cang and other Chinese generals are eager to advance and seem a little unable to hold back.
After all, tonight's battle is extraordinary. If successful, it may become a key battle to destroy Jin.
The generals who participated in tonight's battle need not mention their merits, but they can also leave their names in history and be admired by all generations.
With such an attractive harvest, these generals of the Chinese army were naturally jealous and wanted to gain some meritorious service.
"Zifeng, Che'er, Boyue, you can join the army and go out to fight." Yan Liang saw what they were thinking and waved his hand to give the order.
Zhou Cang and other generals were overjoyed and thanked him one after another. They happily left the tent and led the Chinese army out of the camp.
Deng Ai saw that his colleagues had all gone to fight, but he was the only one who was not sent out. Now he was a little anxious and looked at Yan Liang hurriedly.
Yan Liang seemed to turn a blind eye and continued to drink wine by himself.
"Father, please lead your troops to fight." Deng Ai couldn't hold himself back, so he had to surrender and ask for battle.
"There is no rush to fight. I have something to ask you." Yan Liang changed the subject, "Ai'er, in your opinion, which way will Sima Yi choose to escape tonight?"
Deng Ai was startled, but he didn't know why his father suddenly asked this question at this time.
Moreover, the rewards of the scouts were obvious, and the generals were sent out. It was obvious that Sima Yi wanted to escape from the north.
Deng Ai didn't dare not answer. He thought for a moment and then cupped his hands and said: "To the south, we have an army of 100,000 people, and all the counties are occupied by our army. To the east, our father and the emperor command 100,000 soldiers and horses. If Sima Yi follows,
If he breaks through from two sides, he will hit the muzzle of the gun, and he will definitely not break out from both sides."
"As for the west of Jinyang, there is the Luliang Mountains. Although you can go to Yanmen through twists and turns, the road is difficult and dangerous. Since Sima Yi thought that he had deceived us with his plan to surrender, he probably would not choose to break out of the encirclement through this route.
, Therefore, I thought that Sima Yi would flee from the north road."
Deng Ai spoke eloquently, but his analysis was clear and reasonable.
After Yan Liang heard this, he only smiled slightly. Suddenly, he shouted: "Deng Ai obeys the order."
"Huh?" Deng Ai was shocked at first, and then hurriedly bowed forward, "I obey my orders."
"I order you to lead five thousand dragon cavalry guards to Luliang Pass in the west of Jinyang City and intercept and kill Sima Yi." Yan Liang pulled out the command arrow on the case and threw it at Deng Ai.
The Dragon Cavalry Guards are elites drawn from all the cavalry. They belong to the Yulin Army of the Central Army. They can be said to be the most elite troops in Yan Liang's army.
"My son, I obey." Deng Ai took the command arrow and raised his head, but his eyes were still full of confusion.
What confused Deng Ai was that Yan Liang's previous decrees had clearly determined that Sima Yi would flee from the north, but now he was sent to the Luliang Pass in the west instead.
"Sima Yi is a man of many deceit and deceit, and there will always be a way out if things go wrong. Although what you said and the intelligence indicate that Sima Yi is trying to escape through the north gate, I must be on guard."
Yan Liang explained his reasons, and then added meaningfully: "The military is surprisingly expensive, Ai'er, have you forgotten your contribution to sneaking into Yinping?"
Soldiers are surprisingly expensive!
With a word of awakening, Deng Ai's figure trembled, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, this clever young general, with his clever mind, immediately understood Yan Liang's intention.
Sima Yi's deception cannot be judged by ordinary people's minds. In order to ensure a perfect strategy, one must use extraordinary thinking to guess Sima Yi's path.
"I understand." Deng Ai bowed his hands and left excitedly.
All soldiers and horses have been dispatched, and one hundred thousand soldiers and horses have poured out. In the imperial camp, only Yan Liang is left in charge.
As the emperor of Chu, he reigned over the world, governed tens of millions of people, and commanded millions of soldiers...
With Yan Liang's current status, Yan Liang does not need to take action personally to deal with any man.
At this time, Yan Liang can sit on the high platform with his pillow, smile and watch the wind and clouds move, and guide the world.
Standing on the tent door with his hands behind his hands, looking into the dark night, listening to all kinds of masculine sounds, Yan Liang is as majestic as a mountain, and his whole body is full of confidence.
…
More than ten miles away, 40,000 Jin troops were hurriedly marching in the night.
Although there was cover of night, the Jin army did not dare to move too hastily to avoid making a big noise and alerting the Chu army.
If hundreds of thousands of Chu troops were alerted and came in frantic pursuit, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all, the Jin army included not only soldiers, but also a large number of civilian officials and their families who could not participate. These people were like time bombs that would explode immediately once the Chu army came after them.
Zhang Chunhua sat on his horse and walked in the middle and rear of the team, followed by Sima Shi and Sima Zhao.
She was quite puzzled by Sima Yi's arrangement. Given her position, wouldn't she be in danger once the Chu army came after her?
Just when I was feeling uneasy, several horses came on horseback. The leader was none other than Prime Minister Jia Kui.
"Queen, the emperor has a destiny, please bring the two princes and their ministers quickly." Jia Kui said in a low voice.
"Where is Prime Minister Jia taking us?" Zhang Chunhua asked suspiciously.
Jia Kui moved closer, lowered his voice, and whispered: "Your Majesty is only afraid that the Yan thieves will see through our surrender plan. To be safe, he has decided to change the route halfway and lead some of his troops to go from Luliang Road to the west.
, Your Majesty is already several miles away, please hurry up and follow me."
Hearing this, Zhang Chunhua and Hua Rong were shocked.
