As the saying goes, "Good people are rewarded with good things, and harming others will ultimately harm you."

It is estimated that Sima Yi never dreamed that the position of the front army he had won was attacked by Guan Yu. However, in his opinion, Zhang He, who was about to fall into darkness forever, managed to escape by chance.

At first, when Sima Yi was lying in ambush, spies informed Zhang He of the rear army, and Zhang He immediately led his troops to respond. However, in order to save his own life, Sima Yi did not command the enemy on the battlefield, so that the Wei army was completely defeated.

, when Zhang He came to help, Guan Yu was already cleaning the battlefield.

At this time, Zhang He had two choices: either launch a surprise attack on Guan Yu's troops and catch Guan Yu off guard; or retreat quietly.

Zhang He, who had been tested on the battlefield for a long time, considered that Li Qi might have a back-up plan. Now he was just a lone army. If he was attacked from both sides, the consequences would be similar to Sima Yi's, so he decisively chose the latter. In order not to be attacked by two sides, Zhang He decisively chose the latter.

Li Qi sent him to catch up with him, so Zhang He climbed over mountains and ridges and detoured for more than a hundred miles before returning to Hefei. It was not until he returned to Hefei that Zhang He heard that Sima Yi had not arrived in Lu'an.

To be honest, Zhang He felt quite guilty at the time.

He didn't know that a cunning man like Sima Yi would be captured. If he had known at that time, he should have attacked Guan Yu's troops, and maybe he could have rescued Sima Yi.

You must know that with Sima Yi's strategy and his position in the Wei State, if he was surrendered by Li Qi, it would be a fatal blow to the Wei State.

Needless to say, Sima Yi's strategy, many things developed in the end confirmed that Sima Yi's judgment was correct. And Sima Yi held an important position in the Wei State, knew the military and political affairs of the Wei State well, and had a clear understanding of He Fei's situation. If he surrendered

Li Qi, the consequences are disastrous.

Jia Xu, Yu Jin, and even Zhang Liao all surrendered. Could it be that Sima Yi is nobler than them?

Zhang He raised his concerns with Jiang Ji and discussed whether He Fei's layout should be changed.

Jiang Ji nodded and said: "Jun Yi is very worried. Just in case, He Fei's deployment does need to be adjusted accordingly. But Jun Yi doesn't have to worry too much. After preparing for the worst, you can look forward to it."

Things will develop in a good direction. For example... Li Qi beheaded Sima Yi directly..."

Zhang He: "..."

Is this the good direction you're talking about?

In fact, after Jiang Ji said this, even he felt something was wrong.

But this is the fact. If Li Qi beheads Sima Yi, then no military and political secrets will be leaked. Isn't it hundreds of times better than the result of Sima Yi surrendering?

Li Qi was very excited now. Although the result of the battle was not very significant, he heard from Guan Yu that Sima Yi was very likely to be hiding among these prisoners, so that would make him very excited.

But the problem now is that no one on Li Qi's side has seen Sima Yi himself. How can he find Sima Yi among more than 2,000 prisoners?

If they can't find it and behead more than 2,000 prisoners, there is no guarantee that Sima Yi will really die here, because Guan Yu is only analyzing and judging, rather than being 100% sure that Sima Yi is inside. And Li Qi

In order to win people's hearts, prisoners have never been massacred on a large scale. It seems a bit unworthy to set this precedent for the "unnecessary" Sima Yi.

First of all, Li Qi knew that Sima Yi lived in the late 1970s, that is, between 170 and 179 AD, so Sima Yi's current age should be 38 to 47 years old, in his prime.

So Li Qi first eliminated those people who were around twenty years old and seemed to be confused at first glance, and then eliminated some veterans whose beards were almost gray.

First, these excluded prisoners were temporarily detained in a camp and ordered to be closely guarded by sergeants.

Just like that, there were more than a thousand people standing in front of Li Qi.

Guan Yu suggested: "It is better to let the soldiers identify it. The first one to identify it will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins."

Li Qidao: "I heard that Cao Wei's military system was to detain the families of soldiers to work in the fields. Cao Wei did not kill Zhang Liao, and the family members of the ban may have many scruples or other factors, but for the upper echelons of Cao Wei, the families of soldiers are not as important as ants."

It's just as easy to pinpoint. So these soldiers have scruples. They are afraid that if Sima Yi fails to identify them and let Sima Yi escape back, their family members may not be safe. This may not be possible. Moreover, Sima Yi is cunning and may be the first to jump out and identify him.

He is the one who is responsible. When a close soldier follows suit and identifies him, it will be difficult for us to judge."

Ma Yunluo said: "How about beheading them all."

Li Qi waved his hand: "I have a way."

Li Qi looked at the muscles of most of the soldiers and asked Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan, if you are asked to race against these soldiers, can you win?"

Pang Tong: "..."

Aren't you bullying people?

However, Pang Tong quickly realized: Sima Yi is a civil servant like himself. So far, he has rarely led troops in person. Even when he marches, he rides a horse. Even if he eats better than ordinary soldiers and is healthier than them, it does not mean that he has physical strength.

Better than others.

Yes, Li Qi learned this trick from Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword".

Then let’s see if Sima Yi, this “low man”, is good at running.

However, Li Qi slightly adapted Li Yunlong's idea: he asked the soldiers to eat first and then run away.

Of course, they won't be given anything good to eat. They'll just be coarse, half-cooked rice with no oil or water and no side dishes. I'm afraid a person of Sima Yi's status won't be able to eat such a meal. When the time comes, he'll be running around.

Will fall further behind others.

Li Qi only gave them a stick of incense time to eat, and then quickly gathered them together and asked the more than a thousand prisoners to run around the entire camp.

Li Qi said something first: "The first 100 people will be rewarded, the first 500 people will be spared death, and the rest will be beheaded."

Everyone has the instinct to survive, not to mention that Cao Wei didn't give them any lofty beliefs, so once they start running, everyone will rush to be the first.

Guan Yu and Guan Pingping rode their tall horses and wondered if there was anything unusual about the prisoners while they were running.

It didn't matter if they didn't look at it. One look really gave them a clue: they saw that some soldiers did not fight to be first, but struggled to push away the crowd blocking the front, trying to leave a passage for a certain middle-aged man so that he could

Run smoothly without being blocked by the bustling crowd.

The middle-aged man looked back at Guan Yu, muttering something, and then the soldiers who opened the way for him ran forward and ignored him.

Guan Ping quickly ordered the middle-aged man to be captured, sent to Li Qi's camp, and told Li Qi what he had seen.

Li Qi heard what Guan Ping said and felt that this man was strange. The close soldiers around him obviously wanted to ensure that he entered the top 500, but they quickly evacuated after being discovered.

Therefore, there is a great possibility that this person is Sima Yi.
