On the south bank of the Fen River, a cavalry of about a thousand people had just crossed the river and was slowly marching towards the south.

The troops reached the river bank high ground, and a burly general led his horse to the high ground to watch. At this time, the scouts rushed over.

This person is the eldest son of Sima Yi, the famous Sima Yi of the Later Three Kingdoms, General Wei Wei, and Sima Shi, the Changxiang Hou. He completely destroyed the Han Dynasty (Shu Han).

"Report! General, it has been found out that the southern force calls itself Han. The army attacking South Korea this time was under the banner of Qin."

Although Sima Shi’s unshaven beard seems very vulgar, he is actually quite well-educated, so he shook his head and said:

"Hmm? South Korea and Qin State? Where did this come from? As far as I know, since the previous dynasty Emperor Guangwu, few people have regarded Qin and Han as their national name."

At this time, a man dressed in a civil servant rode a horse and leaned over and interrupted: "Indeed, Han Dynasty is always weak and Qin Dynasty has a short life, which is not very auspicious."

Sima nodded in agreement, and then asked the person who came: "Zhongrong (Shi Bao's character), who are they based on what you see?"

"General Guard, don't worry, the lower official just saw the scout bringing a flag?" After saying that, Shi Bao stretched out his hand, and the scout quickly took off the flag and gave it to him with both hands.

Shi Bao is a great scholar, knowledgeable, and is regarded by many talented people as a talented country. As a result, he just took a quick look and frowned and said:

"Oh, it's very strange. The characters on this are Zhou characters, and Han seal script."

Sima Shi asked in confusion: "Seal script? Since the Qin Emperor was unified, Qin Li has been promoted. Doesn't that mean that this flag really belongs to the seven heroes of the Warring States Period?"

Shi Bao obviously couldn't agree with his speculation: "If it were really that Han, wouldn't he have been going back five hundred years? Xiaguan has lived for so long and read so many books, and has never heard of such a thing."

Sima Shi was laughed when he heard this, and raised his head and laughed: "Oh? Hahaha, I, Sima Shi, don't read many books, but there are some strange things. I turned around and looked for the Legend of Emperor Mu."

Shi Bao suddenly said with a serious expression: "General, let's talk about this later. The most urgent task now is how to deal with these two forces. You can't let them fight in the south, right? What should we do with the people of our Great Wei?"

Sima Shi also realized the seriousness of the problem. No matter where the two forces in the south came from, they should be pacified as soon as possible.

At this time, Shi Bao waved his hand and asked the scout to retreat, then lowered his voice and said, "The Prime Minister's health is so bad now. I am afraid that the treacherous ministers in the court will still cause trouble. The general should make plans early."

Sima nodded. He could still trust Shi Bao. After all, without their Sima family, Shi Bao would definitely not be the current official.

"Well, I understand. I have a clue. Zhongrong also helped me with the advice. Several scouts said that the so-called South Korean army in the south had 40,000 to 50,000 people, and we only had more than a thousand people. What should we do?"

Shi Bao narrowed his eyes and analyzed: "Well, the official thought he should pass by carefully, pass through as soon as possible, return to Yecheng, and make plans. And I think this can be done by others."

Sima Shi also understood that Shi Bao was advising him to avoid the edge for the time being. Moreover, with his Sima family's current control over the court, he could send his pro-Cao to deal with the consumption when he returned, and further improve the strength comparison between Sima and Cao.

Sima Shi smiled again and praised: "Well, Zhongrong, you are really my ovary."

Shi Bao did not take his words, but instead frowned and advised: "General, don't laugh anymore. The imperial doctor said that your eye disease should be resistant to severe emotional fluctuations, you should not be happy, you should not be afraid, you should not be sad..."

Sima Shi disagreed: "Tsk, it's really boring. What's the fun of a real man who can't laugh or drink happily..."

Shi Bao didn't know how to persuade him when he looked like this. In fact, Sima Shi was a gentle and gentle young man when he was young. He did not become an official until he was very old.

However, because the Sima family became more and more powerful later, the Cao family gradually began to doubt Sima Yi, and Sima Shi's life was not easy.

Until Cao Wei lost his serious monarch, the Sima family rose strongly, and he killed Cao Shuang with a coup, and finally became powerful... In addition, the success of destroying Shu Han, Sima Shi became arrogant.

At this time, a general rushed over and shouted: "General! The scout found some refugees in front of him. According to the investigation, they all claimed to be from South Korea. They said that South Korea has fallen."

Sima Shi asked in surprise: "What? Didn't you just say that the Qin army had just crossed the river shortly? Why did it occupy that South Korea so quickly?"

The side general quickly explained: "General, the scout cannot go to the other side of the river. The news I received before was also said by the Koreans. This time the news came from refugees from the capital of South Korea, Pingyang. They said... the Qin army moved most of the residents away and set fire to the entire Pingyang City!"

Sima Shi's face turned dark and he spoke to Shi Bao next to him: "Looking at the practice of looting the entire city's population and setting fire to the city, they know that we exist after all, and this is a solid wall and clearing the wilderness."

Shi Bao also frowned and replied: "Well, this is the only reason, but in this way, we may encounter the Qin army's troops when we go south, and we don't know how many people there are in the Qin army."

Sima Shi was silent for a while and said, "The Koreans said they had 40,000 people and the city of Pingyang. How could they be defeated by the Qin army so easily? Even 40,000 pigs were not so easy to catch?

So I guess either the number of Qin troops is much higher than that of the Han troops, or if you want to touch it, the Qin troops will have an inner supporter in Pingyang."

Shi Bao added: "It is also possible that the Qin army has a large number of people and strong combat power. When the troops were approaching the city, someone in Pingyang City surrendered and offered the city.

No matter what, we have to find a way to return to Yecheng. If we can’t walk south, we can cross the Taihang Mountains, or return to Jincheng and walk around from the north."

Although Sima Shi felt something was right after hearing this, he didn't want to let it go. He was the pride of the Sima family. General Wei, who was truly inferior to tens of thousands of people, just entered the Taihang Mountains in shame?

Suddenly, Sima Shi had an idea: "You just said that the so-called Qin army took away a large number of Koreans?"

The general nodded: "The Koreans said that the Qin army had almost plundered all the young and middle-aged people, and the number of people was too large to count."

When Sima Shi raised his head and laughed, he had long forgotten Shi Bao's advice: "Hahaha, God helps me, it seems that this Qin general is more wealth-loving than famous generals.

If he didn't bring so many civilians, I really couldn't deal with him. Now he is looking for death with the oil bottle."

Although Shi Bao has a high political and cultural level, his military ability is very average. He has no idea what Sima Shi means at all.

Sima Shi looked at Shi Bao's puzzled gaze and explained: "Zhongrong, no matter how many Qin soldiers are, they will not be more than Koreans. However, Koreans are naturally sad and frightened by being driven away from home.

If we could find a group of Koreans at night like Emperor Gao of Han who fought against the overlord Xiang Yu, and give him a Korean song from all sides..."

Shi Bao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he continued the second half of the sentence: "The Koreans will break out and then disperse the Qin army's formation. We can take advantage of the night to make a big noise and defeat the Qin army!"

Sima Shi smiled boldly again: "Hahaha, Zhong Rong, who knows me, is not too late. We should collect refugees while going south. The speed should be much faster than them. As long as we arrive before the Qin army crosses the river, the plan will be simple!"

Shi Bao also smiled slightly, clasped his fists and saluted: "Here!"

Sima Shi was even happier, as if he had seen his victory, he raised his head and laughed in advance to celebrate: "Hahahaha!"

But at this time, the Qin army in the south still didn't know what kind of crisis they were going to face.

They just kept driving away the Koreans under the urging of the Zhao Gao brothers, but unfortunately there were too many Koreans.

Nearly a thousand Qin troops and three or four thousand Korean servants, these people are like raindrops entering the sea, and it is difficult to cause any waves.

So at Zhao Gao's instruction, the Qin army began to abandon the old and weak among the Koreans, and even in the end they didn't even want those over forty years old. Even so, the entire team was still moving.
