The envoy ran all night and soon arrived at the front line and entered the Shu Army Camp in Qishan. Kong Ming welcomed him in. After receiving the order, he felt confused in his heart. After seeing off the envoy, he took out the "Dunjia Tianshu" and prepared to make a video call. The result showed that the other party could not After connecting, he remembered that Yuyi had gone to Nanman, and the video signal might have been interfered. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "Queen Huang Ruier is a woman after all. Someone must have made slanderous remarks to her. Our Shu army has just won and is gaining momentum. Why are you calling us back at this time? If I don't obey the order, the ministers in the DPRK will definitely say that I am supporting the troops and respecting myself, which is deceiving Your Majesty. If I are ordered to go back, then there will be no such opportunity in the Northern Expedition in the future." In fact, Sima Yi still I just want to use my wisdom to defeat it. After all, the power of the demon star is not 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: "It's better to go back, otherwise we will have the reputation of deceiving the monarch, and our rear will be in chaos."
Jiang Weidao said: "Now that the queen is acting as the ruler, she does not understand military affairs. The prime minister can send an envoy to explain the situation, and then make a decision after the new emperor returns from the Southern Barbarians."
Kong Ming sighed: "This must be Sima Yi sending spies to spread rumors in Hanzhong. Now we are not only facing Huang Rui'er, but also the ministers in the DPRK and China who are opposed to the Northern Expedition, and the dignitaries among the people who are opposed to the Northern Expedition. It is time to go back and rectify the internal affairs."
Jiang Wei nodded and said: "This can only be the case. However, at this time we have retreated the army. If Sima Yi takes the opportunity to cover up and kill us, what should we do?"
Kong Ming said: "Our retreat can be divided into five groups. Today we will retreat from this camp first. If there are a thousand soldiers and horses in the camp, we will prepare two thousand earthen stoves, and tomorrow we will prepare three thousand more. We will increase the number in sequence. We will retreat every day. Just add more earthen stoves.”
Yang Yi said: "Sun Bin captured Pang Hua before and used more earth stoves to win. Now that the prime minister is retreating, is he following this example?"
He replied: "I know Sima Yi well. He is very good at using troops. Knowing that we are retreating and knowing my character, he will definitely set up an ambush, so he will enter the camp and count our earthen stoves. If he sees that the number is increasing every day, he will definitely I feel confused and don't know whether or how far our troops have retreated, so I don't dare to pursue them. If we retreat slowly, there will be no danger of losing our troops." So he sent an order to retreat.
Sima Yi was thinking about his next plan in the Wei army camp. He expected that Gou An's affairs would go well. He waited until the Shu army retreated, and then they all killed him. While hesitating, a spy suddenly came to report that the Shu army camp was empty and the soldiers and horses were empty. All left.
Sima Yi knew that Kong Ming was cautious, so he must be prepared, and he did not dare to chase easily. He took a hundred cavalry to the Shu army camp to observe the earthen stoves, asked the soldiers to count them, and then returned to the Wei army camp. On the second day, Then he asked the soldiers to count. The soldiers followed the request and went to the camp to see the number. He replied: "The number of earthen stoves in the Shu army camp is more than before."
Sima Yi then said to everyone: "According to my judgment, after Kong Ming retreated, there must be some ambushes, otherwise there would be no more Tuzao troops. If we pursue them, we will be ambushed. It is better for us to retreat first and then think of other solutions." "
During this process, Sima Yi prepared to use the power of the corpse soldiers. However, the power of the demon star seemed unstable, and he did not know why, so he temporarily gave up the plan.
The final result was that Kong Ming did not lose a single Shu army and retreated towards Hanzhong. On the second day, the locals came to report to Sima Yi, saying that when Kong Ming retreated, there were no additional troops or ambushes, only more troops. The 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 to deceive me. From this point of view, my strategy is 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 in the middle. It was just different from the previous statue of a witch. This time the statue was a very strong man with well-defined muscles and lines, but it was strange. The only thing is that this statue is not wearing clothes and is completely naked.
Yu Yi smiled secretly in his heart and said, "Is this some kind of performance art?"
From the retreat of the black insects, we can know that they should have a sense of boundaries. It is obvious that this statue is a new boundary, which proves that there is something more terrifying behind it.
Among the people accompanying them, except for the two ladies among the barbarian soldiers, and Zhuri, they did not have any special expressions when they saw the statue, but thought it was normal. This made Yu Yi lament the openness of the Nanbarbarians.
There was also text under the statue. Yu Yi pulled Zhu Ri to translate it. After Zhu Ri read it, he sighed: "This is our ancestor of the Southern Barbarians, the founder of this tribe!"
After hearing this, everyone in the Southern Barbarians 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 and felt that he was looking at her with a smile. Wang Can and Zhong Ke who were accompanying him felt a little embarrassed, even though they were all men.
The Nanman people knelt down and worshiped for a long time, and after kowtowing three times, they slowly stood up. Zhuri walked to Yuyi and said: "According to records, the ancestors of the Southern Barbarians were more than ten thousand years away from us. At that time, it was normal to not wear clothes."
Yu Yi smiled helplessly, then became serious and said: "Whether it's the black snake or the black insect behind, the Nanman secret cave is too dangerous. Now that we are facing the ancestor, has he told us how to get out?"
Zhuri said: "According to the instructions of the ancestors, there will be the coffins of the four ancestors of the barbarian kings inside. Each coffin will have a divine weapon. Just take out the four pieces and combine them into one!"
Yu Yi was very happy after hearing this and said: "This points us in the direction, otherwise we don't know what poison we will encounter."
So everyone rested for a moment and walked deeper together. Halfway there, they suddenly saw a skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground, bent over, with a book in his hands, his head lowered, and he seemed to be thinking about something before he died. What.
Yu Yi asked: "Is he also the person who ventured into the secret cave of the Southern Barbarians and died trapped here?"
Zhuri walked forward, observed carefully, shook his head and said, "Probably not!"
At this moment, there was an earthquake in the secret cave of Nanman. Everyone was unable to stand still and fell to the ground. Yu Yi tried his best to stay calm and observed the surrounding environment, for fear that some poison would emerge again.
Fortunately, the earthquake stopped soon. A Shu soldier pointed to the wall not far away and said, "There are words and pictures here."
Another Shu soldier said: "There seems to be an entrance here."
So everyone came to the picture. Yu Yi saw in the picture a barbarian holding a sword and entering a place. Behind him were four warriors wearing rattan armor. They were holding different weapons and their mounts were equipped with different poisonous weapons. The beast, standing opposite was a black arrogance with red eyes.
Zhuri looked at the picture, then looked back at the skeleton and sighed: "I'm sure he's not an adventurer, he's a Nanman prophet!"
