Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Sima Shi's surprise attack at night completely caught Cao Shuang off guard. Especially when Cao Shuang himself was still an idiot in military tactics...

Sima Shi's two thousand death warriors quickly arrived near the Yecheng armory in the dark. In the middle of the night, a death warrior pretended to be someone in the palace, saying that the emperor had an urgent matter to summon Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang had just fallen asleep at this time, and the guard was a little hesitant for a while.

Just this moment of daze, Sima Shi's death warriors instantly seized the opportunity. Several crossbow arrows from the military crossbow suddenly shot out from the darkness and hit the throat of the personal guard!

These crossbow arrows became the signal to start the war, and dozens of death warriors quickly launched a strong attack. They were only wearing thin clothes, holding short knives and rushed up fearlessly.

In a sense, Sima Shi's action this time was more dangerous than the Gaopingling Incident. After all, this time he was attacking the armory, and the number of people was much smaller.

Because of this, Sima Shi's death warriors soon fell into a disadvantage after their initial success. Cao Shuang's fully armed guards fought desperately and managed to stop the group of dead soldiers outside.

Without armor, with simple weapons and only a few crossbows, the ability to attack was obviously not very strong. As more and more guards in the armory reacted, Sima Shi had little time left.

Seeing this, Sima Shi quickly and decisively made a decision.

He threw his helmet to the ground, imitated Ma Su's appearance, and rushed up with his sword!

"Everyone! If you retreat now, you will die! It's better to go forward with all your strength to have a glimmer of hope!"

Sima Shi personally drew his sword and rushed up, and launched a strong attack on the armory under the rain of arrows.

Normally, if it weren't for Ma Su's great fortune, Sima Shi would have died ten times. But this time, it seemed as if God was helping him, and not a single arrow hit him!

With the blessing of luck as if Ma Su was possessed, Sima Shi led the way and broke through the armory's obstruction. Under his desperate charge, all the soldiers rushed forward desperately, completely intimidating the soldiers in the arsenal!

It was not until this time that Cao Shuang arrived at the battlefield. When he saw that the situation on the battlefield was already in decline, he was stunned for a moment.

I was so prepared, how could you, the Sima family, still plot against me?

"Sima Shi! What the hell do you want to do?" Cao Shuang yelled in the direction of Sima Shi with a gloomy face.

"Do you think that if you have a coup and give our Cao family's foundation to Ma Su, he will let you go? In his eyes, your Sima family is doomed to die. Do you really think it will change easily?"

"I don't want to surrender to Western Shu!" Sima Shi's voice also came over, with a bit of coldness in his tone.

"I just want our Sima family to survive! Survive as much as possible!"

"And you, who are in power, are obviously not good enough to meet our requirements! So for the Sima family and for the Great Wei, please die, Lord Cao Shuang!"

In the final analysis, Sima Shi launched a coup because he thought Cao Shuang was too useless. Not only did he have no military talent, but he also brainlessly integrated power.

If this continues, the demise of the Sima family is a foregone conclusion.

So there is only one choice before Sima Shi. That is to get rid of Cao Shuang, and then take the position himself, relying on the remaining national strength of Cao Wei to preserve the Sima family as much as possible.

Facing Sima Shi's reply, Cao Shuang's face became very ugly. After he cursed secretly, he turned around and planned to run away.

Anyway, according to Ma Su, he was finished because he believed the Sima family's fart. This time he tried his best to counterattack, he didn't believe that you, Sima Shi, could still win?

Cao Shuang turned around and ran away, and Sima Shi's men quickly took over the arsenal in Yecheng. After briefly completing the re-armament of his troops, Sima Shi immediately led his men straight to the palace...

This night in Yecheng is destined to be a sleepless night!

"So... Sima Shi still launched a coup in Yecheng? And Cao Shuang and Sima Shi have already started to fight?"

After reading the battle report sent from Luoyang, Ma Su looked a little confused.

He originally thought that Luoshui was farting, and the Gaopingling Incident was only caused by a big advantage. As a result, now that Cao Wei has retreated to Hebei, with only two states in its territory, it can still be in civil strife?

"That's right, after Sima Shi seized the Yecheng arsenal, he quickly took control of the palace. Cao Shuang only had time to snatch the queen mother and fled to Cangting with only a few hundred people."

The envoy from Luoyang nodded and quickly reported to Ma Su.

"Now the Liaodong Army and Jizhou Army of the pseudo-Wei have turned against the Sima Shi. But the Black Mountain Wei Army and the Yanzhou Wei Army still obey Cao Shuang."

"At present, we may not need to march north. They will first consume the little national strength they have."

This time, Sima Shi has fewer cards than in the Gaopingling in history. Although Cao Shuang is also weak, he is still stronger than Sima Shi.

So Sima Shi failed to stop Cao Shuang in Yecheng in the end, and let him run away with the queen mother.

Cao Shuang's escape also means that all the descendants of the Cao clan who were stationed outside broke with Sima Shi. Sima Shi only had time to win over the Liaodong Army and Jizhou Army, which still had influence. At this point, the civil war in Hebei was a foregone conclusion.

This situation surprised Ma Su. This was the first time he saw his own people tearing each other apart when facing a powerful enemy.

"So the prime minister sent someone here to inform and ask the general about his thoughts." The messenger looked at Ma Di after he had basically digested what he said, and then added.

"In the civil war in Hebei, the Wei army has become a mess. If we take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Hebei now, the progress should be smooth."

Ma Su also thought of Zhuge Liang's reminder. The opponent's own people attacked first, which made the already unobjective military strength even worse. If the Northern Expedition were launched in time at this time, it is very likely that the Han army would be completely harvested in one wave.

However, after pondering for a while, Ma Di still shook his head.

"You should go back and tell the Prime Minister that it is not appropriate for us to end now! We might as well sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and wait until they have exhausted each other."

"Otherwise, if we rush to send troops at this time, we may very well force Sima Division and Cao Shuang to reconcile under external pressure."

"In this way, not only will we not get any benefits, but we will be dragged into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. This will have a great impact on us who have just recovered Kanto and are mainly focusing on recuperation!"

"So instead of going to the north to seize such an unsuitable opportunity, it's better to focus on defeating Sun Quan first."

Again, don't worry about what happened to Cao Wei, just kill Sun Quan anyway.
