The Governor has succeeded! Deng Ai looked at the Wei army who suddenly retreated, put away the binoculars, but there was not much joy on his face, this was originally an excellent opportunity, but now, he was more worried about whether Liu Yi would be able to withdraw in time.

"General, General Wei is looking for you to discuss!" One of Wei Yan's personal guards came to the bottom of the watchtower and shouted at Deng Ai above.

"Hmm." Deng Ai nodded, got down from the watchtower, and followed the other party in the direction of the camp.

Li Yan was also there, but Deng Ai ignored him, just knelt in his seat and said to Li Yan: "The general is looking for me?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Yan nodded and said: "The Governor sent someone to summon the news, he already knows everything about this side, Yecheng has been broken, but because our army failed to contain Sima Yi, the Governor had no choice but to withdraw his troops back to Huguan yesterday." ”

"I have just seen the retreat of the Wei army, and I think I have got the news." Deng Ai nodded, a little regretful, but it was not good to blame Li Yan at the moment, after all, he and Wei Yan were actually a little carried away by the victory at that time, and did not dissuade Li Yan.

"The governor will be back soon." Wei Yan looked at Li Yan and Deng Ai and said: "This time I sent people back, in addition to appeasing the hearts of the army, the governor also ordered me to lead 30,000 troops to the south to cut off Cao Shuang's grain road. ”

Li Yan didn't want to speak, after all, he was already embarrassed, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Our military has experienced a defeat, and there are not many soldiers and horses, if the troops are divided at this time, how can they still fight with Sima Yi?" ”

Liu Yi sent troops this time, the total strength was 150,000, Jiang Wei took away 10,000 horses, on the previous battlefield, those who died in battle, and those who stayed in Liyang and were captured, there were more than 40,000, in fact, the Hanoi troops plus the men and horses brought back by Liu Yi were less than 100,000, and now if another 30,000 are divided, only 70,000 horses remain, how can they fight back?

"The northern fighter plane has been lost, and it is difficult to break through in a hurry, and the meaning of the governor is to help the right minister solve the war in the Central Plains first, and then the two sides will join forces and work together to attack Jizhou!" Deng Ai glanced at Li Yan and frowned.

Although he lost the battle, Li Yan is not incompetent, how can he not even understand such a simple truth?

"Yes, at present, Cao Wei is in internal turmoil, if our army invades Jizhou again, the Wei army will inevitably rise up to resist, it is better to attack the Central Plains before this." Wei Yan stood up and said, "Without further ado, I'll send troops." ”

"General, slow down!" Deng Ai smiled and nodded.

At that moment, Wei Yan prepared his troops and horses, and early the next morning, he crossed the river and went to Chenggao, and came out of Chenggao to take Xingyang.

……

Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

"Huang Hao, what do you mean by being so serious?" Liu Chan looked at Huang Hao with a serious face with some surprise, he was in a good mood recently, although Li Yan was a little troubled about the defeat of Huang in Nei, but Liu Yi followed up and directly attacked Yecheng, forcing the Wei Dynasty court to flee in embarrassment, which really boosted morale.

Obviously, Liu Yi's strategy succeeded, but unfortunately, there was a leak on Li Yan's side, which made Liu Chan very helpless, but he didn't think about curing Li Yan's crimes, after all, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, although Li Yan was defeated miserably, but it can only be said that he is not capable enough, just withdraw it, in terms of ability, Li Yan is good whether he governs the local government or participates in the government.

Although there are some regrets, but the matter has come to this, Liu Chan can only send someone to appease him, maybe he has been in a good mood recently, and he has had sex a little frequently, so he doesn't dare to go back. Palace, I originally wanted to take a break here, but Huang Hao suddenly came running with such an appearance, which made Liu Chan's heart feel a little uncomfortable, and he had a very happy face, which was really not suitable for this expression.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Hao bowed to Liu Chan and said, "The slave is guilty." ”

"Oh?" Liu Chan glanced at Huang Hao, continued to tease his birds, and said casually: "Say, who did you provoke?" ”

"Sikong." Huang Hao smiled bitterly.

"Huh?" Liu Chan was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Huang Hao and said: "Sikong is far away in Huguan, you want to provoke others, people have the kung fu to take care of you, you won't provoke Liu Cheng, right?" ”

"How dare a slave?" The corners of Huang Hao's mouth twitched, he would rather provoke Liu Yi than provoke any of her daughters, provoke Liu Yi, at most, Liu Yi would give him a slap, but if he provoked Liu Cheng, not to mention that Liu Yi and Zhuge Liang would jump out at the same time, Liu Chan would clean him up.

"Sikong is now fighting for his country abroad, and I don't want to hear any more rumors about the soldiers on the front line." Liu Chan glanced at Huang Hao and said indifferently.

"The slave understands, but this time it really has nothing to do with the slave." Huang Hao cried with a sad face, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms, and handed it to Liu Chandao: "Yesterday, General Li Yan suddenly sent someone to send this, if the slave maid does what is said in the bamboo slips, I am afraid that I will offend Sikong." ”

Huang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after he received Li Yan's letter, he made two preparations, and ran to Liu Chan with bamboo slips to find Liu Chan to probe Liu Chan's tone, if Liu Chan still trusted Liu Yi as before, he would sell Li Yan directly, but if Liu Chan had the slightest suspicion of Liu Yi, it would be another rhetoric.

When Liu Chan heard this, he frowned and took the bamboo slip, opened the bamboo slip, looked at the content on the bamboo slip, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"Heh~" After a while, Liu Chan directly threw the bamboo slip on the ground, shook his head and sighed: "What an old minister of the two dynasties, at this time, I don't think about reimbursing the country, but I want to frame the general, but I am more curious, why did Li Yan look for you?" ”

In the end, Liu Chan looked at Huang Hao with a smile.

Huang Hao's face turned pale, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave and maid don't know, Your Majesty should be clear, that Li Yan has always looked down on the slave and maid." ”

Liu Chan glanced at Huang Hao, shook his head and said, "Get up." ”

I don't really want to do Huang Hao, a monarch needs loyal ministers and capable ministers to govern the world for himself, but he also needs traitorous ministers, not only to balance the power of the DPRK and China, but most importantly, at the critical moment, traitors can help themselves take the blame, and killing traitors can also calm down the anger of the people, in short, traitors have a lot of roles, and traitors are generally more pleasing than loyal ministers, the emperor is also a person, and he also likes to listen to good words, Huang Hao He uses it very easily, and he hasn't considered changing people for the time being, so it's just a little bit.

"Huh~" Huang Hao responded, and when he stood up cautiously, he found that his back was already wet with cold sweat.

"What do you think Li Yan should do with this?" Liu Chan continued to tease the bird, casually.

"Slaves don't know!" Huang Hao dared to say more at this moment.

"You can know." Liu Chan teased the bird and smiled: "I know you know." ”

Huang Hao's eyelids jumped wildly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "The slave maid thinks that now that the army is fighting, Li Yan is rash against the enemy, and he is already guilty, and he does not want to repent, but instead intends to bribe the inner servant and frame the commonplace, and he should be severely punished." ”

He doesn't have a deep friendship with Li Yan, but Li Yan has his handle in his hands, and now he is sending someone to ask for help, Huang Hao can't help it, but if he wants to lose his future and even his life, it is impossible, and Li Yan's handle is always a thorn in Huang Hao's heart, since he can't help him, then take this opportunity to kill Li Yan directly.

Of course, it is impossible for Huang Hao to directly say that Li Yan will be executed, after all, Li Yan is also an important minister of the imperial court, and with Liu Chan's character, even if he wants to deal with Li Yan, it is impossible for him to be a eunuch to decide.

"You're smart." Liu Chan looked at the birds jumping happily in the birdcage: "Go and inform the courtiers, how to deal with Li Yan, I need to discuss with the courtiers." ”

In any case, Li Yan is also a great minister of the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to make a hasty decision on how to deal with it, and Liu Chan needs to consult with the ministers.

"Whoa!" Huang Hao bowed down and agreed, preparing to gather the ministers.

"When the time comes, you go to Huguan to pass the edict, and hand over this bamboo slip to Sikong." Liu Chan didn't look back, and said casually while teasing the birds.

When Huang Hao heard this, he glanced at the bamboo slips on the ground, bowed down and agreed, picked up the bamboo slips, and walked outside the palace.

……

Liu Yi was not in a hurry to return to Hanoi, he received a letter from Deng Ai, Sima Yi had withdrawn his troops and returned to Yecheng to preside over the government, and he could not return in a short time.

The location of Yanmen is very important, not only the throat of the Hu people going south, but also can also send troops to directly attack Youzhou, Liu Yi hopes that after the spring of the next year, Jiang Wei can capture Yanmen.

The battle of Yecheng is not a success, the most important thing is that it is difficult for Liu Yi to find such an opportunity to defeat Sima Yi in the future, since this is the case, it is better to send troops from two roads, and Jiang Wei will command the troops and horses all the way from Yanmen Pass, and attack Youzhou, Sima Yi is no matter how powerful he is, he is also unskilled, and when the time comes, Sima Yi will have to face, in addition to these two soldiers and horses, he may also have to face the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains.

At that time, under the general trend of Huanghuang, even if Sima Yi has the ability to reach the sky, he will be powerless to return to the sky.

"Dudu, there is a battle report from the front, General Wei Yan and Sima Yi's son Sima Shi fought fiercely in Yongqiu for several days and won a complete victory!" Jiang Wei came in and bowed to Liu Yi and smiled.

"That's a good thing." Liu Yi didn't care about this, Sima Yi's son could be regarded as a genius, but he was not as powerful as his own son, not to mention, Wei Yan had fought all his life, and Sima Shi wanted to defeat Wei Yan on the battlefield, and he was still a little behind.

"The year is over, are you homesick?" Liu Yi looked at Jiang Weidao.

"Sort of." Jiang Wei nodded, he was familiar with Liu Yi, and he got along in private, and he was not so polite.

"I thought about it too." Liu Yi sighed: "After this battle, I should be able to enjoy the joy of family, my daughter is now pregnant." ”

"Congratulations to the Governor!" Jiang Wei said with a smile.

"It's almost here, let's start attacking Yanmen after the year, the defenders of Yanmen are all warriors who defend the frontier, and they have merit in the world, these soldiers, if they can surrender, they will surrender." Liu Yi looked at the sand table in front of him and sighed.

"Don't worry, the governor will understand." Jiang Wei nodded, during this time, they have already contacted several guards in Yanmen, Yecheng was breached once and the impact was great, and many people have already loosened their mouths, and they should be able to directly surrender a batch.

"Du Du~" Pang Hui came in from outside the door, bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Du Du, an angel has come to preach the edict!" ”

"Please!"
