When Cao Pi arrived at Qingshuikou, it happened to be the early morning of the next day, and the estimated time, the good news sent by Man Chong and Qin Lang to Yedu respectively arrived.

A long-lost victory made Cao Pi feel that the world was impermanent, but he already had a higher pursuit, and he didn't care much about the victory or defeat of this war.

He was in a stable mood when he was eating breakfast with Qin Lang, which made Qin Lang feel a little strange.

With my understanding of Cao Pi, it is already very strange to encounter the expulsion of his courtiers and not die of anger on the spot.

Being able to run to Qingshuikou alive can be said to be inexperienced in Yedu, or that Yedu lacks courage and does not dare to bet on Sima Yi's position.

Although Sima Yi was greatly valued and promoted by the emperor, the feelings between them were very deep.

The emperor was wronged or killed, Sima Yi had to take action whether he fulfilled his feelings or maintained his image of the foundation of his life.

But the Beifu and Han armies are eyeing each other on the side, does Sima Yi really dare to fight a civil war?

So Ye Du didn't handle this matter well...... Even an emperor who has betrayed his relatives can't be trapped, what else can he expect Ye Du to do?

There is really no better choice, choose the emperor, at least you can follow the emperor away from those guys in Yedu who look ahead and miss opportunities.

However, we can't accuse the people in Yedu of being pedantic and stupid, and no one is willing to stand up and take responsibility.

The emperor under house arrest, such a big responsibility is deducted on the head, which will affect the reputation of the entire family; If Sima Yi raises an army to fight, it is very likely to become the second mistake.

While Qin Lang was thinking about it, Cao Pi had already finished reading the original of Man Pet and Qin Lang's recital...... Naturally, the original is given to the emperor, and only a copy is given to the prince of the prison state.

After reading this great victory report, Cao Pi was a little confused...... It is impossible for seven or eight thousand people to be actually captured, and only about a thousand people will be killed.

Therefore, the scale of the Han army that crossed the river to participate in the battle this time should be about 3,000 people, which happened to be blocked by Man Zhong and Qin Lang, perhaps half-crossing, in short, the Han army that crossed the river was defeated.

One-third of the captives were beheaded, one-third fled by jumping into the river, and about one-third of them fled westward with more than 1,000 people.

Because of the lack of troops, this rout army tried to win away the Jiancheng of Jixian County by deception, but fortunately, the county commander Wu Gao was cautious and kept a hand, and successfully inflicted heavy losses and defeated this defeated army again.

Judging from the report and the military intelligence report from the Ji County side, everything can be explained.

Cao Pi estimated the danger and possible whereabouts of this rout, and asked: "Yuan Ming, how many rout troops are there?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there will be no more than 1,500 people."

Qin Lang looked calm, and added: "The Han army likes to coerce the people, and the ministers heard that the soldiers of Ji County were scattered by nearly 3,000 people, and there must be many people who were coerced and coerced. The minister thought that if this rout could not be quickly extinguished, there was a risk of erosion in Hanoi. At that time, the people will all rebel, and the enemy may reach 20,000 or 30,000 people. If the crowd is attached to the north to the west, it will be a great disaster. ”

Twenty or thirty thousand soldiers from Hanoi...... In the future, Beifu will start to work, and with this group of officials who are familiar with Hanoi's geography and water conditions, local customs, and their own complex connections, it will be easy for Beifu to capture Hanoi.

Fortunately, the border between the western part of Hanoi and Hong Nong County has been relocated and has become a wasteland, which can be regarded as a buffer zone and a warning line.

If the Beifu soldiers wanted to attack Hanoi, they first had to manage the wasteland, set up outposts, beacons, repair roads, and so on...... It will take time, and this time will be enough for a full mobilization.

Is it possible for the little Han army to rout Hanoi?

Cao Pi listened to Qin Lang's worst prediction and said: "Yuan Ming, there is a way not to chase after the poor." This is both a poor man and an enemy, and he is forced to die, and he will fight to the death. If Hanoi is in turmoil for the rout, the Beifu and the Han family will despise the country, although it is good, but the country is newly turbulent, and it is the time when the monarch and the minister are suspicious. If there is another great defeat, the people's will will collapse, people's minds will change, and the country will not be a country. ”

Qin Lang looked thoughtful, and after a while, he nodded unwillingly: "According to His Majesty's strategy, but let it go back to his army?" ”

"Well, a gift out of the country."

Cao Pi blinked his eyes: "Since it is a rout, it will be accepted when it is good." If he does not believe, he may send an envoy to lobby. ”

Send someone as a hostage?

Qin Lang understood this intention for the first time, anyway, he had already won the 'victory', which was decent enough, and if he maintained his dignity to the end now, he would be able to end all this.

But the military situation that the emperor knew was somewhat different from the actual military situation he knew.

The Han army dared to attack and seize Ji County, which shows that the plan is not small.

How could such an ambitious Han army who wanted to do a big job be persuaded to retreat?

If you can persuade you to quit, it is also feasible to let your brother be a hostage. Can be persuaded not to retreat...... It's not easy to find fault with the emperor, Qin Lang can only reluctantly accept this work that hinders decency in the eyes of the emperor and is not easy to operate.

After eating breakfast like this, Cao Pi immediately mixed with the favored Zhennan Army and Liyang Navy Division, and marched directly to Luoyang.

As long as he enters Luoyang City, he can still be a decent emperor.

In order to show the majesty of the Luoyang garrison, the prisoners captured yesterday all advanced with the ship...... Anyway, Luoyang is upstream, and the more captives for rowing, the better.

This is bitter for Qin Lang, before Yedu took over the defense of Hanoi, he is currently in charge of the war situation in Hanoi.

Where are the remnants of more than 1,000 people, it is clearly the main force of the Han army!

He returned to the scattered and sparse military camp with a bitter face, Cao Lin and Cao Mao greeted him together, Qin Lang complained to himself: "The back road of the Han army is cut off, but its military situation is not resolved, so it can be seen that there is a will to die." Your Majesty did not know what was going on, but I led my army to expel him from the country......"

Cao Mao's disapproving appearance: "Brother Yuanming, when the Han army crossed the river, most of them were light soldiers, although they were Nanzhong Guojin soldiers, but after all, they were shallow, how do you know the power of my iron cavalry?" The younger brother thought that he should march to Ji County, look at his behavior, and then make a decision. ”

Cao Lin also felt that this was reasonable, although there were many hills in the river, after all, the terrain was mostly flat, and more than 3,000 horsemen appeared beside the main force of the Han army, how could the main force of the Han army dare to move easily?

Only by sticking to the camp can the Han army have the strength to counterattack and confront.

If you dare to break away from the camp and march in the field, then you will attack...... As far as the barbarians in the mountains of Nanzhong are concerned, how many have seen the iron cavalry rushing into battle?

The chances of victory are high, so there's no need to be intimidated.

Qin Lang saw that these two newcomers on the battlefield did not know the horror of the war, and they could not refute such positive remarks, so he said: "Now that the country is unstable, it has won a great victory, and it is necessary to ensure a complete victory, and there should be no more incidents." ”

Now it has been won, militarily it has been won, and politically it needs this victory even more.

If we can't fight anymore, there will be risks if we fight...... Therefore, it is important to ensure the current 'victory', and for this we must be calm and not take any more risks.

But then again, Cao Zhen was transferred to Taiyuan, and before leaving, would he transfer an army from Luoyang to escort him to his post.

Cao Zhen's route to office was fixed, and he could only take Yewang County in Hanoi, go north through the Xia Kingdom, and go to Dang County to enter Taiyuan; If you take a shortcut and take the line to the east of the river, what if it falls into the hands of the Beifu soldiers?

Therefore, Cao Zhen can only take the road of Hanoi when he takes office, and it is very likely that Luoyang will send troops to escort him.

If you are more steady and rely on the mobility of the cavalry, you can drag the main force of this Han army.

After a long time, the people's sharpness slowly dissipated, and I heard that Cao Zhen passed through Hanoi under the escort of the army, and it was not good to say that this Han army would break through on its own...... During this period, he may be able to sell personal favors.

Rather than sending your own people as hostages, wait for the Han army to send the hostages to you...... Wouldn't it be more beautiful?

So he should catch up and entangle this Han army.
