Quan Cong said in surprise: "Is it possible that Ziyu has the heart to cherish talents, seeing that Wei will be so brave and deliberately let him go?" ”

Zhuge Jin shook his head and said: "The trapped beast is still fighting, if you want to capture and kill this person, our army must pay the price of dozens of people, not because of the enemy's talent, but because of the death of Jiangdong's children." What's more, most of the enemy has retreated, and even if he can kill his broken parts, the gains outweigh the losses, so let them go. Now that the troubles of Huaibei have been calmed down, it is the time to turn back and deal with the enemy of Huainan. ”

Zhuge Jin pointed to the west with a solemn expression.

In his opinion, whether the remnants of Niu Jin's army can be eliminated or not is actually irrelevant to the overall situation, as long as Sima Yi's army can be driven out of Huainan, it will be a big victory for the Wu army.

Niu Jin was not afraid of death, he fought with all his might, and if he wanted to kill him, he would have to pay ten times the price, except for the sharp increase in the casualties of Jiangdong's children, it had nothing to do with the overall situation, so Zhuge Jin ordered to give up the pursuit.

In fact, Zhuge Jin's real henchmen were in the west, and the Wei army that Buqi fought with.

Such an elusive army is what Zhuge Jin needs to be afraid of, Sima Yi has been repelled by him and blocked north of the Huai River, and it is difficult to make a difference for the time being, so Zhuge Jin's current enemy is probably only Xiahou Xuan's army.

Since the Wei army had retreated, the Wu army immediately occupied the entire Anfeng ferry, and it was essential to destroy the pontoon bridge, and the Wu army began to set fire to destroy the remaining three pontoon bridges, even if Sima Yi wanted to cross the river again, rebuilding the bridge was the first prerequisite.

At this time, the Wu army controlled the south bank of the Huai River, and after these tricks of not playing half-crossing and attacking, the Wu army will confront the Wei army across the river, relying on the natural danger of the Huai River to block the Wei army, and Sima Yi wants to force the Huai River again, which is much more difficult than before.

Although the first half-crossing attack of the Wu army did not achieve the desired result in advance, it killed thousands of enemies and repelled the Wei army's crossing of the river, and on the whole, it was a small victory.

The main reason is that Xiahou Xuanbu suddenly came out from behind, which caused a lot of pressure on the Wu army, and he had to draw troops to deal with it, and he also had to worry that the Wei army should be attacked before and after, so Zhuge Jin launched an attack without waiting for the Wei army to really cross halfway, so he gained a limited amount.

If the Wei army really crossed the Huai River with half of the total number, then the Wu army would have achieved even more brilliant results than it has now, and the number of enemies would definitely exceed 10,000.

But a bigger record means a greater risk, Zhuge Jin doesn't dare to take risks easily, as long as he can ensure a small victory, next, he has more important tasks to do.

That is to encircle and suppress Xiahou Xuanbu with all his might.

Now that the main force of the Wei army has retreated to the north of the Huai River, the Wu army only needs to send a small number of troops to hold the Huai River defense line, and most of the main force can participate in the encirclement and suppression of Xiahou Xuan.

Zhuge Jin looked at the north bank of the Huai River from afar, the Wei army had all withdrawn, and only the burned pontoon bridge was left on the river, half-sinking and half-floating in the water, some were still smoking green smoke, and occasionally the corpses of some Wei soldiers were floating, and the river was a mess.

This victory made the Wu army rejoice and elated, but Zhuge Jin faintly felt that something was wrong, he always felt that the Wei army did not do its best, and it was not at all like Sima Yi's combat style, Sima Yi was experienced and used his troops to hold it seriously, but this battle Wei army was anticlimactic and embarrassed, and it didn't seem like Sima Yi was commanding the battle at all.

Zhuge Jin shook his head gently, he couldn't figure out the mystery, but if he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't want to, Zhuge Jin laughed self-deprecatingly, maybe he didn't know if he thought too much, after all, Sima Yi is also old, Lian is quite old, and he is no longer as brave as he was back then, and it is common to be tied up in battle.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Niu Jin stood in front of Sima Yi covered in blood, and said with a guilty face: "The Metropolitan Governor, the last general will be humiliated by his mission, and I also ask the Metropolitan Governor to punish him with military law." ”

Sima Yi waved the sleeves of his robe lightly, and said lightly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that this time it is the cunning of the Wu people, and General Niu is outnumbered and able to retreat with the whole division, which is already a great achievement, what is the crime?" Come on, General Fu Niu will go down to rest, so that he can serve for his life. ”

Left and right immediately stepped forward to support Niu Jin, who was covered in blood and seriously injured, Niu Jin's expression was obviously stagnant, such a tragic defeat, when Niu Jin escaped back, his heart was uneasy, lest Sima Dadu Governor punish him according to military law, but he did not expect Sima Yi not only not to blame, but to be kind and relieved, Niu Jin was grateful, and arched his hand: "The grace of the Metropolitan Governor is not guilty, and the end will be unforgettable, and I am willing to smear my liver and brain to repay it in case." ”

After Niu Jin retreated, Sima Shi looked at no one on the left and right, stepped forward and whispered: "Since my father is not ready to win this battle, why did he still lose the lives of thousands of people, this loss is too great, right?" ”

Sima Yi smiled indifferently and said: "If you do too much fake, others can see through it at a glance, and if you want to do it seamlessly, you naturally need to spend some money." If we stand still, the court will investigate in the future, and it will be difficult to escape the blame, such a tragic battle, and bear some responsibility for improper command for my father, Xiahou Xuan may have to ask for more blessings. ”

Sima Shi smiled knowingly and said, "Father is far-sighted, the child admires, this time Xiahou Xuan faces hundreds of thousands of Wu troops, see how he responds?" ”

Sima Yi's calculation this time was very accurate, together with the wolf smoke, Xiahou Xuan must lead his troops to attack, and his hidden whereabouts will be completely exposed, and as soon as Sima Yi withdrew his troops and horses, he naturally forced Xiahou Xuan to face the Wu army of more than 100,000 alone, with no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and 30,000 people to resist the enemy's 100,000 people, the result is naturally conceivable.

And this time Sima Yi shirked the responsibility completely, crossing the river and fighting was unfavorable, no one could do anything, the Wei army also went through a bloody battle, and Niu Jin, who was responsible for the break, was seriously injured in many places all over his body, and almost broke on the south bank of the Huai River, Sima Yi finally ordered the withdrawal of the army, which was also a helpless move. After all, the Wu army is strong this time, if the 20,000 Wei troops who crossed the river do not retreat, they will inevitably be wiped out, Rao is so, and thousands of Wei troops are buried on the south bank of the Huai River and will never come back.

Sima Shi stared at the other side, the twilight was heavy, but the sound of shouting and killing was still endless, this night was destined to be a sleepless night, whether Xiahou Xuan and Cao Liang could live to see the sun tomorrow was already an unknown.
