For many, the night was destined to be a sleepless night.

The fire in the Huyukou valley is still burning, and it looks particularly eye-catching under the blue and deep night, and the mountains and fields are reflected red.

However, the Sima army, who was blocked at the moment, no longer cared when the fire would be extinguished, because the Bingzhou army had already withdrawn on a large scale, and only Sima Jun's men and horses were left in the entire valley.

After the fierce battle of this day, almost all the soldiers were exhausted and collapsed.

Sima Yi also did not give the order to pursue, after all, people are not fought with iron after all, and after a day of fierce fighting, it is time to let his army rest.

What's more, Cao Liang's tricks, who knows if the retreat of the Bingzhou army is the beginning of another conspiracy plan, in order to avoid suffering greater losses, Sima Yi chose a truce.

It stands to reason that Sima Yi was fully prepared for this battle, and he should at least have gained a hearty victory, but the result of the fierce battle made Sima Yi more disappointed, although he did not lose, but he did not win.

This encounter can only end in a draw.

This has to make Sima Yi re-examine Cao Liang's opponent, this battle, Sima Jun invested 100,000 horses, and Cao Liang only has more than 50,000 people, from the comparison of troops, Sima Yi is obviously dominant, but unfortunately, Sima Yi did not turn this advantage into victory.

With many enemies and few enemies, the result was a five-to-five victory, for Sima Yi, this is actually not much different from defeat.

Don't look at Sima Yi has always been known for his forbearance and low-key, but in his bones, he is very proud, Zhuge Liang of Shu State, he didn't look at it in his eyes, Sun Quan of Wu State, Sima Yi also regarded him as a defeated general, even Cao Rong, who Sima Yi has always regarded as a companion like a tiger, he really never was convinced.

If we talk about war, looking at today, he Sima Yi claims to be the second, and no one dares to call him the first.

Conquer Wu and reject Shu, pacify Liaodong, Sima Yi is a person who has made great achievements for the Great Wei court, those former opponents have been boiled dry by Sima Yi and consumed to death, for Sima Yi, life itself is a victory, and now he, although he is old, but enough to look at the world.

Sima Yi launched the Luoyang Mutiny, and Cao Liang was the first person to stand up against it, and he also made up a so-called edict in a vain attempt to compete with the Sima family.

Such an opponent is very dangerous for Sima Yi's grand cause of wanting to dominate the world, if Cao Liang is not extinguished, Sima Yi cannot guarantee that other forces in the world will not go up and down, and he Sima family will sing against him.

Therefore, taking Bingzhou and defeating Cao Liang was a problem that needed to be solved urgently in front of Sima Yi, so Sima Yi gathered an army of 150,000 and launched an attack on the Shangdang of Bingzhou.

Sima Yi was naturally determined to win this battle, but as soon as he entered the state, Cao Liang gave him a dismount, and continuously lost nearly 50,000 people from the two armies.

In order to prepare for this northward operation, Sima Yi made careful arrangements in advance, not only the long snake formation with a balance of attack and defense, but also the 30,000 elite cavalry secretly transferred, all of which were Sima Yi's special means to deal with Cao Liang.

But despite this, in the Battle of Huyukou, Sima Yi still felt that he was left behind everywhere, if it were not for the superiority of the number of people and the strength of the troops, this battle would have ended in Sima Yi's defeat.

Sima Yi's original goal was not achieved, and next, it would not be smooth sailing to clear the remnants of Cao Liang's forces, so Sima Yi ordered to camp in Huyukou in situ, and at the same time count the number of people and calculate the losses.

The number of troops was quickly sent, and in this battle, more than 10,000 people were killed or wounded, and the attrition in the battle was very serious.

And the number of enemies killed was more than Sima Jun's losses, Sima Yi just glanced at the report, and then snorted softly, very disapproving.

All armies are in the habit of lying about their military exploits, and often dare to boast of killing thousands of enemies when they kill hundreds of enemies.

But despite this, perhaps it is a bad habit that is difficult to change, the number of people reported by each army, more or less, is still mixed with a lot of water, seeing the casualties of more than 20,000 people in the Bingzhou army, Sima Yi can't help but scoff, if killing the enemy can really be as clever as this, why fight so hard?

When camping, Sima Yi ordered that all armies must be on guard, in case the state army suddenly kills a horse pistol, although the probability of this is relatively low, but it will not rule out the occurrence of this situation, the way of using soldiers, the combination of virtual and real, real famous generals, often have unexpected and surprising moves.

In the next few days, Sima Jun has not walked out of Huyukou, in addition to cleaning up the battlefield and burying the body, Sima Yi also wants to induce Cao Liang to strike again, World War II Huyukou.

But obviously Cao Liang did not take the bait this time, and as soon as the state army went, there was no news, and they were familiar with the geography of the party gave Sima Yi a headache, and missed this opportunity, and if he wanted to annihilate Cao Liang again, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Sima Shi asked if he wanted to attack Huguan, Sima Yi shook his head lightly, and said: Originally, attacking Huguan was just a pretense, and Huyukou was the focus, but it was a pity that Cao Liang could not be captured.

Indeed, the so-called attack on Huguan is just the intention of a drunkard, Cao Liang deliberately lured the enemy deeper, Sima Yi is just a plan, at this time to attack Huguan, it is completely meaningless, take an empty city, can not solve Cao Liang's problem, if Sima Jun sends troops to garrison, it will inevitably disperse the troops, giving Cao Liang an opportunity.

Cao Liang's tactics are too treacherous, so that Sima Jun is unguardable, even if any opportunity can be taken advantage of, as long as Cao Liang is caught, the consequences are often unimaginable.

Therefore, to fight with Cao Liang, you have to fight at least twelve points of spirit, although the battle of Huyukou is not won or lost, but after Sima Jun missed this good opportunity, the battle of Shangdang has been defeated, at least, Sima Yi can no longer find an effective plan.

The army was stationed at Huyukou, quite a dilemma, whether to go north to capture Huguan, or to retreat south to defend Gaodu, Sima Yi was indecisive and hesitant.
