Chapter 524: Checks and Balances

Yongzhou, Guangwei County

"Cao Zhen has withdrawn his troops." Wu Ban had to investigate and report the military situation back.

"Huh? Why did Cao Zhen withdraw his troops? Guan Xing was puzzled.

Wei Yan: "Yangzhou, the state of Wu has just been destroyed, the armies of the two countries are deadlocked, Cao Rong plans to let Cao Zhen transfer troops to help Sima Yi in order to take the land of Wu, and repel the general in one fell swoop. ”

Guan Xing: "Then hurry up with General Shu, this matter is also in danger." ”

Wei Yan smiled lightly: "Although it is dangerous, it is also an opportunity." "Wu Ban, who is the commander of the Wei army here now?"

Wu Ban: "Cao Shuang, the son of Cao Zhen, the commander of the army, and Guo Huai of the auxiliary army." ”

Wei Yan: "Sure enough, it's Cao Shuang, this person is mediocre, Yongzhou is desirable!" When Cao Zhen's soldiers are as far as Wu, our army can directly take Yongzhou County, attack Chang'an, and use Chang'an as a base to coerce Luoyang! ”

Guan Xing: "But there is still Guo Huai?" Guo Huai is shrewd and difficult to deal with. ”

Wei Yan: "Cao Shuang will not listen to Guo Huai's words, even if he listens to it once, it will be difficult, listen to it twice." ”

Wei Military Division

Cao Shuang was lying comfortably in the military tent, his father was not there, and he was finally not so vigilant.

Although Cao Zhen doesn't like Guo Huai, there is no one in Great Wei now, and if he wants to resist Wei Yan's army, he needs Guo Huai. If Cao Shuang doesn't know, there are two people in the army to ask, one of them is Guo Huai. Cao Zhen always thought that Guo Huai was Cao Pi's person, after all, Guo Huai was Cao Pi's subordinate to the government, but he didn't think that there was a deeper conspiracy.

"General!" There was a shout from outside the account.

Cao Shuang was shocked, "Uncle? He got up and remembered his father's words.

The second asked Xiahou Ba.

Xiahou Ba entered here, "The Shu army is ready to move, presumably because the general knows that he has left here and intends to attack Yongzhou." I want to mobilize the troops of the rear army and patrol and defend the front border, and I need the general's order. ”

Cao Shuang said with a smile: "What do I think? This trivial matter, my uncle will do it, and he will say that I will not use it to report it in the future. ”

Xiahouba: "General, you are the commander of the army, and it is better for you to give orders." ”

Cao Shuang smiled and said, "Why bother so much, just go and go." ”

Xiahouba: "But ......" Xiahouba always felt bad, as soon as Cao Zhen left, Cao Shuang didn't care, and now the distribution of troops in the army is all done by Guo Huai and himself, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will be out of proportion. When the army is in turmoil, one shouts west, one shouts east, and the soldiers don't know what to do.

"Then let's do it first, the general should take charge earlier. It is better to have the authority in your own hands. Xiahou Ba reminded.

Cao Shuangying drank and sent him away.

Yangzhou, Poyang County

"Thank you for the general's grace not to kill, I have to surrender today, and I swear to die in retribution!" Lu Dai thanked him.

"Well, in the realm of Yangzhou, you still need more work from Lu Gong." Shi Yue said lightly.

Previously fled back to Pengze, rushed to Poyang County by the way, recruited Lu Dai and Zhong Limu, and was about to go to Xindu County.

"Report!" A letter came from Xindu.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yue was taken aback, he wouldn't call over, right? No, just after a battle, both armies are lacking, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting, so they should fight again next spring, right?

"General Jiang Wei's letter, the courier general."

Shi Yue: "Bring it." After that, Jiang Wei found that the Wei army began to transfer troops to leave Danyang County, and some people learned that Sima Yi was ready to leave Jianye. Jiang Wei requested that he prepare to raise troops to attack Danyang County and seize the old Wu realm.

Shi Yue frowned, turning sadness into joy, "Zhongda is gone, great, I can also go!" ”

"Summoning General Jiang Wei back here!" Shi Yue ordered.

Jiang Wei, who was waiting for the general's military order in Xindu County, suddenly received a summons order and hurried to Poyang County.

Seeing the general coming, "General, why did you summon me?" But it is necessary to plan to attack Danyang. ”

Attack the head! What's going on now? It's winter, how long has it been fighting, and in the entire army, that soldier still has the will to fight. The reckless and militaristic, the people's grievances are boiling.

"Boyo, it is inconvenient to fight again at this time, Sima Yi saw the right time before withdrawing his troops. I also plan to withdraw my troops and return to Jingzhou first. Shi Yueyan said.

Jiang Wei was shocked, "The general said very much, if you want to fight, it is not a battle here, and the territory of Wu is desirable or not." To fight, it should be to attack Yuzhou, use Yuzhou as the border area to encircle, and attack Luoyang! ”

Shi Yue was stunned, I didn't mean that?

"Anyway, go back to Jingzhou first, I have a lot to deal with when I call you back this time. We have to transfer troops out of Yangzhou, but we need to send guards and ministers here to manage, but who to send is a problem. ”

Jiang Wei knew the general's meaning, "Wu has just died, these generals and ministers who have surrendered to our country must still have the heart to restore the country, and if they are left here, they will change for a long time." But take them all, and no one here can be stable. ”

Shi Yue smiled and said: "Yes, yes, that's what it means." Boyo, who do you think is better to keep? ”

Jiang Wei: "First of all, we must leave a person with high expectations, and in the Jiangdong family, we must have the ability to respond to all calls." ”

Shi Yue thought for a while, "Gu Yongke can stay here, among the scholars recruited by the Wei State, there is Zhang Zhao's Zhang family, although Zhang Zhao died, but his son's family is the choice to descend to Wei." Staying here can be checked and balanced. ”

Jiang Wei: "You still need an old Wu general, this person must have prestige, one can suppress the soldiers here, and the other can counteract the Wei and Wu soldiers." However, this person, we must have a way to deal with it, otherwise Gu Yong will join forces with him and plot secretly, but I am afraid that the harm will not be shallow. ”

"This?" Shi Yue thought for a while, "Zhu Huan, Zhu Huan is a general of the Wu State and is familiar with the old Wu army. We only need to take the heirs of the Zhu Huan family and send them to Jingzhou, and we are not afraid of him messing around. Also, his son Zhu Yi, a young man, can take a look at Boyo later. ”

Jiang Wei: "The rest is much simpler to stay here, the general knows how to do it better than me." ”

Shi Yue: "Take the general of Wu Guo away, leave Wu Chen here, and Shu will be the auxiliary." Wu Chen governs, and the Shu army restricts. Previously, he had a hand in imprisoning Buqi to defend against the enemy, and he could let Lu Fan follow him to the Xindu County at the junction of Shu and Wei to defend it. His son Lu was taken away. The ministry general Zhang Yi and others can stay here, and they can rest assured. ”

Jiang Wei: "The general's clever strategy. ”

Gu Yong and Zhu Huan were left in Yuzhang County, and Lu Dai was left in Poyang County. Bu Qi and Lu Fan were led to Xindu County to defend against the enemy. The rest of the Wu courtiers all stayed in Yangzhou, and the Shu general Zhang Yi and other generals helped the army, so beware by the way.

Wu took Zhu Ran, Zhuge Ke, Zhu Yi, Ding Feng, Zhu Ju, Zhong Limu and other generals to Jingzhou, and Zhang Ji, Zhao Yun, Guan Suo and others also returned to Jingzhou.

Jianye

"I have the edict of His Majesty, and I will return to Luoyang, and this place will be handed over to the adults!" Sima Yi said to Jiang Ji. Previously, Cao Rong came to recall him, so he planned and transferred troops back here to hide from Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji: "The governor will return to Luoyang this time, and His Majesty will reward him heavily." The merit of destroying Wu is unparalleled in the world! ”

Sima Yi: "My lord praised it falsely!" This time, if it is not the strength of Zhongda alone, he will definitely say to His Majesty the work of the Lord. ”

Jiang Ji said with a smile: "Thank you Dudu, you have worked hard." ”

Sima Yi led his two sons, Deng Ai, Shi Bao, and Wang Changhui pretended to return to Luoyang. Leave Chen Qian in Jianye to seek other things. Tian Yu, Wen Ping, and Sun Li, Sima Yi did not dare to take them away, and they were not trustworthy people. Stay in Yangzhou first to resist the Shu army.

Wang Chang is not Sima Yi's person, but Sima Yi knows that this person has a way to use it for himself, which is the next battle.
