He only saw black worms emerging from the originally peaceful coffin like a fountain, surrounding everyone. Yu Yi cursed in his heart and said, "I wouldn't have come here if I had known it earlier. It's really scary!" A Shu soldier saw this. He was so frightened that he threw away the candle in his hand and started running around. He was soon swarmed by black insects and devoured into powder.
However, after the candle fell to the ground, it burned the materials next to the coffin, and high flames soon appeared. Seeing this, the black insects did not dare to move forward for a while.
Yu Yi reacted quickly and quickly organized everyone to collect the flammable materials nearby and started to set fire. Soon a wall of fire appeared, isolating the black insects.
Zhuri suggested: "Sooner or later, the flames will disappear. We still need to use the fire to keep moving forward." So everyone cut some old coffins into several pieces with weapons, made torches, lined up in a neat line, and continued walking forward. .
Wang Can asked: "What are those black insects?"
Yu Yi analyzed: "It should be something that keeps the body from decaying."
Zhuri nodded and said: "Barbarian kings of all ages have their own characteristics. For example, the first generation of witches used black snakes as guards, modern barbarian kings used plants to keep them from decaying, and other barbarian kings used black insects to maintain their protection."
Zhong Ke looked very surprised and asked, "What else is there in here?"
Yu Yi's eyes looked very solemn and he said: "Looking at it from this point of view, I'm afraid it's getting more and more dangerous."
In this way, everyone moved forward and came to another hall, which was decorated with splendor and splendor, and another statue appeared in the middle.
On the front line of the Northern Expedition, Kong Ming beheaded Chen Shi and discussed the march. Suddenly, there was a detailed report, saying that Cao Zhen had received heavy troops and was being treated in the camp. Kong Ming was very happy after hearing this and said to everyone: "If Cao Zhen is not seriously ill, he will definitely be cured." I will return to Chang'an. Now that the Wei army has not retreated, it must be seriously ill, so I stayed in the army to appease everyone. I wrote a letter and asked Qin Liang's surrender to be handed over to Cao Zhen. After reading it, Cao Zhen will definitely Dead." After saying that, he summoned the surrendered soldiers to the camp and asked: "You are all Wei soldiers, and your parents and wives are also in the Central Plains. You are not suitable to stay in our Western Shu for a long time. Now I am going to let you go home. What do you think? How?" After hearing this, everyone burst into tears and expressed their gratitude. Kong Ming said: "Cao Zhen made an agreement with me. I have a letter. You can bring it back for me. You must give it to Cao Zhen personally. There will be a heavy reward."
As requested, Wei Jun took away the letter and returned to the camp. He actually handed the letter to Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen was ill in bed. He opened it and read it. The content was: Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the Marquis of Wuxiang, gave this letter to Cao Zhen. General Sima Cao Zhen wrote, I think that as a military general, you are both strong and soft, able to advance and retreat, weak and strong, able to defend as immovable as a mountain, as elusive as Yin and Yang, as endless as heaven and earth, as substantial as Taicang, and like the four seas. As vast as three lights, as dazzling as three lights, you can know the astronomy and drought in advance, know the geographical level, the period of the battle, and guess the length of the enemy. However, you learn from the unlearned juniors and help the rebels who usurp the country. In Luoyang After proclaiming himself emperor, he still dispatched troops in Xiegu, encountered a heavy rain in Chencang, was deprived of water and land, and the men and horses were rampant. He abandoned his armor in the suburbs, threw his swords and guns all over the ground, the governor's mentality exploded, and the generals fled everywhere like rats! If you don't have the face to see the folks in Guanzhong, how can you enter the mansion and halls? The historians kept writing and recorded it, and the people spread the news. Sima Yi saw the Shu army coming, and retreated in all directions. General Cao Zhen fled in the face of the wind. Our troops and horses are very strong. , the generals were as brave as dragons and horses, sweeping Qinchuan and leveling Wei.
The whole article is full of satire. After reading it, Cao Zhen became filled with hatred. That night, he died in the army. Sima Yi could only load the body in a soldier's cart and send someone to Luoyang for burial.
When Cao Rui, the leader of Wei, learned that Cao Zhen had died due to illness, he immediately issued an edict urging Sima Yi to go to war to avenge him. Sima Yi brought an army to confront Kong Ming and issued a declaration of war the next day.
Kong Ming said to everyone: "Sima Yi took the initiative to fight decisively. Cao Zhen should have died of illness, and it was the order given by the Lord of Wei." So he approved and said: "Choose a day for the decisive battle." After the envoy left, Kong Ming explained the plan to Jiang Wei that night, He also called Guan Xing for instructions and everything was settled.
On the second day, Kong Ming sent all the soldiers and horses from Qishan to Weibin. There was a river on one side, a mountain on the other side, and a flat road in the middle. It was a good battlefield for a decisive battle. The two armies faced off and used archers to hold down the position. After three rounds of drums, Sima Yi appeared in the center of the Wei army's formation, and everyone followed him out. Kong Ming was sitting on the four-wheeled cart mountain at the eye of the Shu army's formation, with four people pushing the cart and waving feather fans in their hands.
Sima Yi said: "Our lord imitated Yao and Shun. Emperor Xian of Han abdicated the throne and sat in the Central Plains. The reason why he tolerated you Xishu and Soochow is because our master is kind and afraid of hurting the people. You are a farmer in Nanyang. I don't know." When the weather is strong, if we forcefully attack the Central Plains, we will be destroyed sooner or later. It is better to save our worries, live a few more years, guard the borders of Shu, and form a three-legged situation, so as to avoid the destruction of all life, and you can live in an ignoble way!"
After hearing this, Kong Ming laughed and said: "I have received the great responsibility of the late emperor and the deep trust of the new emperor. How dare I not do my best to attack the Central Plains to defeat the rebels! Your Cao family will soon be destroyed by the Han Dynasty. Our new emperor The emperor is the real hero of the generation, and besides, your ancestors of the Sima clan were also officials of the Han Dynasty, and they all received salaries from the Han Dynasty. You don’t want to repay the favor, but you insist on helping the tyrants do evil. Don’t you know it’s shameful?”
Sima Yi felt very ashamed after hearing this and said angrily: "Then we will have a showdown. If you can defeat me, I swear that I will no longer lead troops as a general. If you fail, you will go back to the countryside to farm as soon as possible." Stop interfering in worldly affairs and I will not harm you."
In fact, Sima Yi observed that Yu Yi did not come, and the plan he had in mind was even more sinister. After all, the generals of the two armies, he planned to fight with the normal troops and horses now, and nothing else could come. After all, the power of the demon star was still in his hands.
Kong Ming became interested and said: "Are you going to send generals out to fight for a decisive victory, or are you going to fight directly between the two armies, or are you going to fight with formations?"
Sima Yi waved his hand and said: "Let's fight the formation first!"
Kong Ming nodded and said: "If you want to convince yourself of your defeat, you can set up the formation first and let me see."
I saw Sima Yi entering the military tent, holding a yellow flag waving in his hand. The army horses on the left and right followed the flag's instructions and moved into a neat square formation. After Sima Yi arranged the arrangement, he mounted his horse and went into battle, asking: "Do you know what I am doing? What formation?"
Kong Ming smiled and said: "This is a pediatric formation. The smallest general in our army can arrange it casually. This is the Hunyuan Qi Formation."
Sima Yi bit his lips and said, "Then arrange for me to come and see you."
Kong Ming entered the formation, waved his feather fan, and appeared at the center of the formation again, asking, "Do you know my formation?"
He replied: "Isn't this the Bagua array?"
Kong Ming smiled and said: "You have good eyesight, but do you dare to attack my formation?"
