Chapter 340 Sima Yi: I am only half a step away from success
If you have never stood at the peak of power...
Maybe Sima Yi will be content with being ordinary.
But the four years of being the prime minister gave him a deep impression and a supreme experience. The feeling of responding to a hundred responses and commanding the world to obey no one dared to disobey was so deep into his bones that Sima Yi's soul was deeply rooted in his many midnight dreams.
Deeply intoxicated by it.
Therefore, he couldn't stand a group of good-for-nothing children from the Xiahou family riding on his head.
Perhaps because of his destiny, he could clearly feel that he had fewer than two opponents in this world - because his body began to age rapidly and was getting worse day by day.
Sima Yi knew that his life had come to an end.
He can't take regrets into the coffin.
We must take action.
Because the four Xiahou generals were not in the city, the imperial army in the city seemed at a loss to deal with the sudden riot.
Sima Fu led 500 people to the arsenal of the Forbidden Army camp. After showing a forged "imperial edict", all the Forbidden Army soldiers put down their weapons.
After all the weapons have been taken away, no matter how many Xiahou family cronies and opposition forces are in the city, it will be in vain.
Sima Shi led 500 people to control Xuanwu Gate, which was the outer gate of the imperial city. By capturing this place, the connection between the imperial city and the officials was cut off.
Sima Zhao led 500 people to monitor the palace, and no one was allowed to leave or enter.
Former chief ministers Jiang Ji and Situ Gaorou issued another "imperial edict" to act as generals and temporarily take over the country's military power.
Due to the careful planning, all other roads progressed very smoothly, except for Sima Yi's progress along the way, which was not ideal.
Sima Yi's mission was to lead three thousand dead men to capture Gaoling by surprise, defeat a thousand forbidden troops, control His Majesty Liu Chan, and kill the four generals of Xiahou.
However, there is a must-pass point on the way from Chang'an to Gaoling - the Xianmen Dam. When Sima Yi led his army here, the dam was already heavily guarded. Sima Yi tried to attack several times, but he couldn't attack it at all.
So Sima Yi shouted to the imperial troops above: Put down your weapons and ignore them; resist to the end and destroy the three tribes!
The movement on the dam alerted His Majesty Liu Chan. Liu Chan immediately summoned Xiahou Ba, asked him the reason, and ordered him to lead his troops to retreat from the enemy.
Xiahou Ba immediately led his people to board the dam to check what was going on. As soon as he got on the dam, he happened to see Sima Yi shouting to no avail, and was about to lead his troops to attack again.
Looking at the densely packed dead soldiers below, and then at the eight or nine hundred Forbidden Army soldiers on the dam, Xiahou Ba was a little panicked, and he emboldened himself and shouted: "Sima Yi, how dare you commit rebellion?"
Sima Yi ignored Xiahou Ba at all and just led his troops to kill him.
The world has been at peace for a long time, and it has been fifteen years since the world was unified. These Forbidden Army soldiers are all novices who have never fought in a war. How have they seen such a desperate fighting style as the dead soldiers? Although they blocked the first wave of attacks,
So why isn't it Sima Yi's tentative attack?
Xiahou Ba had no choice but to order the soldiers to resist with all their strength, and then ran down the dam, planning to take Liu Chan and escape by boat.
To the south of Gaoling is the County Gate Dam, and to the north is the Weishui Military Ferry. Xiahouba deployed a large ship there many years ago, waiting for use in critical moments.
But when Xiahouba took Liu Chan to the river, he only saw an empty place, but the big boat was nowhere to be seen.
In this case, you don't have to think twice to know that the public boat was used privately, and it was very likely that it was used by soldiers to go fishing or do other things.
Xiahou Ba was so angry that he jumped on the spot and cursed, spinning in circles on the shore.
the other side.
A military commander drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at Sima Yi's eyebrows and about to shoot. Just when he was about to let go, he was stopped by a subordinate behind him: "Sima Yi is bound to win now. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. Sir, please think twice!"
"
While the monarch was hesitating, Sima Yi had already led his army to attack the dam. As promised, he did not kill the Forbidden Army soldiers. He just ordered them to stay where they were, then passed the dam and hurriedly pursued Xiahou Ba and Liu Chan.
.
During the whole process, Sima Yi was fighting against every second, lest Liu Chan take a boat down the river and go to Luoyang to rein in the troops.
Sima Yi knew that there were ships moored at the ferry north of Gaoling, but the incident was so hasty that he couldn't do it perfectly. He could only pray for God to be on his side and hope that there were no big ships on the river.
He has done everything he needs to do and has succeeded. Now it depends on which side God is on.
Sima Yi believed that God's will must be on his side.
After all, in the past seventy years, he had escaped all dangers that could threaten his life, and he had survived Lu Xun, Zhuge Liang, and possibly even Ma Di.
Even if Ma Su is not dead yet, Sima Yi is not afraid anymore.
Since leaving Chang'an nine years ago, Ma Di has never come back. This attitude has been very obvious, and he has no interest in court affairs.
Sima Yi's plan was that after he took over the power, regardless of whether Ma Su died or not, he would be rewarded according to the standards of the princes and kings, which would definitely appease Ma Su.
He thought he could appease Ma Su who had no intention of going to court.
After considering all the consequences, Sima Yi decided to follow the story of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the past, and coerced the emperor to rule the world!
So, after crossing the dam and seeing Xiahou Ba and Liu Chan circling by the river in the distance, Sima Yi straightened the helmet on his head and revealed a sinister smile on his lips.
Done!
The world will soon belong to the Sima family!
One hundred steps...
Eighty steps...
Fifty steps...
The anxious expressions on the faces of General Liu Chan and Xiahou Ba were clearly visible. Sima Yi strode forward while cupping his hands and saying, "Your Majesty, my escort is late..."
He didn't finish a sentence.
Sima Yi's face suddenly froze, and his eyes gradually became anxious and frightened.
A large ship sailed down the Weishui River and stopped next to Liu Chan.
A person, or to be precise, a group of people stepped off the boat.
Ma Su, Huang Xi, Zhang Xiu, Li Sheng, Yang Wanwan, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Qu Bu...
"Zhongda, I haven't seen you for nine years. How are you? Hahaha..."
Liu Chan was so pissed that he hid behind Ma Su, pointed at Sima Yi and said: "General, save me, Sima Yi has rebelled, rebelled!"
Although Xiahou Ba has been a general for almost ten years, in Liu Chan's heart, there has always been only one general, and that is Ma Su, who helped him conquer eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers and regain the foundation of his ancestors.
Therefore, when he saw Ma Su for the first time, his panicked heart quickly calmed down.
From his birth to now, there are only three people who can make him feel at ease when he sees them, one is Zhao Yun, one is Zhuge Liang, and the other is Ma Di.
Ma Su patted Liu Chan on the shoulder, helped him put the crown on his head, and said warmly:
"Your Majesty, don't panic, I'm coming."
Opposite him, Sima Yi looked at the powerful generals beside Ma Su, then at Zhang Xiu's malicious eyes and the big pebble he kept throwing and catching in his hand, and he suddenly felt endless fear in his heart.
Sima Yi looked at the three thousand dead soldiers behind him again, feeling a little more confident.
"Hmph, although you can fight Ma Su, I have more people!" Sima Yi snorted coldly. Just when he was about to fight Ma Su to the death, some large ships came down the river and docked on the south bank of the Wei River. Each and every elite soldier
He ran down from the boat with Zhuge Liannu in his hand, lined up in a row, and aimed at Sima Yi and the dead soldiers behind him.
Facing the repeated crossbows filled with arrows, Sima Yi knew that he had lost.
Totally lost.
He couldn't figure out how he lost!
Where did Ma Su, who had disappeared for five years, come from? How did Ma Su accurately understand his every move?
Doesn’t Ma Su have other things to be busy with?
Sima Yi was in despair, filled with grief and anger.
There is only half a step away from success...
Ma Di turned his head and looked at Xiahou Ba with a smile: "Zhongquan, am I not late?"
"It's not too late, it's not too late...it's just right!" Xiahou Ba said hurriedly, with tears in his eyes, and he was so excited that he thought silently in his heart:
It’s so scary!
Ma Su laughed and said, "Don't blame these boatmen. I transferred them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come to the rescue."
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Although three thousand dead soldiers were close at hand, Ma Di was still chatting and laughing and commanding calmly.
Sima Yi waved his hand to the dead soldier behind him and turned his back with a determined look on his face.
The dead soldiers rushed forward with howls.
The densely packed repeating crossbows shot out with a "sssssssss".
Amid the deafening screams, blood stained the south bank of the Wei River red.
