Chapter 290: Truce

After Yu Ban retreated gratefully, Yang Yun touched the Cause and Effect Divine Tree with his mind and saw the power of cause and effect that he had obtained by fulfilling Liu Bei's wish.

"Five thousand points of causal power, not bad!"

Yang Yun was quite satisfied in his heart, but only five thousand points were not enough for him to comprehend the innate third-level realm of heaven and man. The first few times he participated in the exercises, the higher the realm, the more energy he consumed.

According to his estimates, it would take at least 10,000 causal powers to help him comprehend the complete Heavenly and Human Dao.

"Let's keep this energy for now, and when we complete the second task, we should have enough energy!"

After the Eastern Wu side sent Yu Ban and Mi Fang and others according to the agreement, Yang Yun was also ready to give an order and prepare to take Ma Chao, Chen Zhi and others north to reinforce Huang Zhong.

As for Zhao Yun, he stayed in Jiangling. Monitor the soldiers and horses of Soochow who have not yet evacuated.

However, to Yang Yun's surprise, Cao Zhen, Cao Ren and other generals who were attacking Dangyang decisively withdrew their troops after knowing that Ma Chao and Zhao Yun had broken through Xiaoling. began to slowly retreat towards Xiangyang.

After the crisp defeat of Eastern Wu, the opportunity for Wei to go south to pick up cheap has disappeared. Cao Ren and Cao Zhen were both commanders with a strategic vision of the overall situation, and they knew that nothing could be done, so they immediately withdrew their troops.

Of course, there was another important reason for the withdrawal of the Wei army. It is the peerless generals Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, whose strength has improved too quickly, charging into battle, and almost no one can resist it.

Whether it is Sun Quan of Eastern Wu or Cao Pi of Wei. Before he was sure to restrain the three peerless fierce generals, he didn't dare to start a war lightly.

"The Wei army has withdrawn ......"

After Yang Yun knew the news, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he thought that he would have a big battle with the Wei army next. I didn't expect them to withdraw their troops like this!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! This Eastern Expedition to capture Jingzhou will shock the world, and it will definitely be able to revive the Han Dynasty in the future!" Ma Liang, Ma Yan, and others hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate.

In the main hall in Jiangling City, in addition to Ma Liang and Ma Yan, there are also Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Chen Zhi and others, after the Wei army withdrew, the army deployed in Dangyang did not pursue, and slowly withdrew to Jiangling.

Among the civil and military ministers in the hall, only Ma Chao's expression was a little gloomy.

Of course, everyone knows the deep hatred between Ma Chao and Cao Wei, and if he failed to fight with Cao Jun this time, his mood must not be very good. So the people didn't care.

"The great victory in this battle is all due to you!"

Yang Yun laughed and praised the ministers. This time, he was able to capture Yiling and capture Jiangling, and the first credit was Huang Zhong. The second merit is to offer a plan to break through the Ma Tan of the Wu army's Yiling camp.

He immediately asked Ma Liang to reward the soldiers in the army first, and then reward the civil and military ministers according to the merit book. But all the generals who have made meritorious contributions have been promoted by one level.

"Your Majesty, now that the Wei army has withdrawn, Shangyong, Fangling and Xicheng County should also send troops to take it!" Ma Tan came out and put forward his own suggestion.

The three eastern counties were now merged into a county by Cao Pi, with Meng Da as the new city county guard. Xincheng County can echo Hanzhong and Jingzhou, and it is a strategic place for Shu Han.

If Xincheng County can be taken, then in the future, according to Zhuge Lianglong's strategy, one army will go out of Xiangyang, and the other army will go out of Hanzhong. can make the Wei army at a loss.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to be the vanguard!" Huang Zhong immediately shouted for his life.

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun also flashed out, expressing their willingness to lead troops to attack Xincheng.

"Hansheng has made great achievements in this battle, so let's rest for the time being. Meng Qi, I will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, can you take Xincheng County?" Yang Yun asked.

He deliberately gave Ma Chao a chance to perform.

"Within seven days, the minister will be able to break through the new city and capture Meng Da!" Ma Chao was not ambiguous, and simply made a military order.

Being able to lead the troops into battle again made him a little excited. The gloom on his face was swept away.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong stroked his beard, and could only shake his head slightly, returning to the queue with some disappointment.

Yang Yun glanced at Ma Jian at this time, the thought in his heart moved slightly, and he immediately said: "Young Chang, you also went out with Meng Qi this time to join the army!"

I don't know, if Ma Jian is given some opportunities to train, can he make this talent who talks on paper grow? Yang Yun didn't know the result, but he was willing to give it a try.

After all, there is a lack of talent on the Shu Han side. Being able to cultivate a handsome talent who is both civil and military can reduce Yang Yun a lot of trouble. Ma Tan has this potential.

"Command!"

Ma Jian was also stunned for a moment when he suddenly received such an appointment, but he was shrewd, and soon realized that this was His Majesty's intention to train him and give him military qualifications.

After the discussion, the civil and military ministers left one after another, and Yang Yun stopped Ma Liang and asked him to keep an eye on the evacuation of the Eastern Wu army.

Defeating the Eastern Wu army and taking Jingzhou does not mean that it is all right. At present, in addition to supervising the withdrawal of troops in accordance with the requirements of the peace agreement, a large number of people must be sent to take over the four counties of Jingnan.

"It's a pity that Pan Jun has already taken refuge in Sun Quan and can't stay in Jingzhou!"

Pan Jun was appointed by Liu Bei to govern Jingzhou, in charge of the civil affairs of the four counties of Jingnan, and because of Guan Yu's arrogant character, there were many contradictions with Guan Yu.

So when Jingzhou was lost and Sun Quan personally came to persuade him to surrender, Pan Jun finally took refuge in Eastern Wu.

This person allowed Wen Yunwu, Wen Neng governed Jingzhou, and Wu Neng led troops to exterminate the Wuling barbarians and pacify one side. Enough to take on the responsibility.

After Yang Yun knew Pan Jun, he could only feel sorry in his heart.

As a disciplined scholar, since he turned his back on Shu Han and went to Eastern Wu, he must not be able to eat back grass. so as not to be said to be two-faced and undisciplined.

Well, Guan Yu doesn't count.

Time passed slowly, and after a series of battles, Jiangling began to gradually restore calm, and under the strict constraints of military discipline, the Shu army did not harass the people.

This made the people in the city slowly walk out of their homes and rejuvenate Gangneung City.

At this time, Zhuge Jin also led his soldiers and horses and began to evacuate the public security. And according to the prior agreement, the four southern counties of Jingzhou were handed over to the Shu army.

Before the Eastern Expedition, Liu Bei prepared many scribes and courtiers in the army. These people have some difficulty serving as county magistrates, but they are more than competent as county magistrates.

Huang Quan, the general of Zhenbei who was originally stationed in Yiling, was also transferred to the general of Zhennan, and Jiangling was too guarded. As for civil affairs, Yang Yun transferred Jiang Wan from Shuzhong. Let him sort out the civil affairs of the four counties of Jingnan.

Jiang Wan is the great Sima who oversaw the military and political power of the Shu Han Dynasty after Zhuge Liang. and Zhuge Liang are known as the four phases of Shu and Han. And he is also a native of Jingzhou. It can make the hearts of Jingzhou people quickly attached.

Although the current ability of such talents is still somewhat insufficient, the potential is sufficient. Put it in the four counties of Jingnan to temper it, and it won't take long for Jingzhou to restore its old outlook.
