Zuo Fengyi, Hao Yang, former general Xingyuan

In a blink of an eye, Wei Yan's troops had been stationed here for more than a month.

The battle of the Northern Expedition also reached the most critical moment - holding the pass and rejecting the Wei army outside the pass.

On the other side of the river (Yellow River) was Pubanjin of Hedong County of Wei, and the general of Wei stationed in Hedong was Cao Hong, who was good at fighting.

Among Cao Wei, the founding princes of Xiahou Cao were all good generals for a while, and their courage was outstanding, which should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Wei Yan made a careful defense of his re-enlarged army of 20,000 on the line from Xiayang to Linjin, setting up beacon towers every 500 steps, setting up barricades every 500 li, garrisoning 500 troops, and building fortresses for each 20 li, with a garrison of 1,000.

In addition, Wei Yan led 10,000 elite troops to be stationed in Haoyang between Xiayang and Linjin, and no matter where Cao Hong launched the battle to cross the river, Wei Yan could arrive in the shortest possible time to provide support.

Former general

Wei Yan sat high on the table, holding a wine bud, full of ambition.

After having a strict deployment, Wei Yan also left Cao Hong behind and feasted all day long. Before Cao Hong crossed the river and landed on the land of Guanzhong, Wei Yan did not think that Cao Hong was much of a threat.

The Meridian Valley soldiers went out of Chang'an, attacked Tongguan successfully, and broke Cao Zhen in the eastern suburbs of Tongguan. Wei Yan made great achievements, worshiped the former general, fake Jieyue, and named the Marquis of Zhengnan. A series of brilliant victories greatly stimulated Wei Yan's ambitions, and made him swell sharply, and he was confident of defeating all the so-called famous generals of the time.

High on the main seat, Wei Yan meaningfully glanced at the generals on the left and right seats, Wang Ping, Gao Xiang, and Deng Ai...... and the man who was confident and calm.

Fei Yi Fei Wenwei, who retired from the Chang'an Order, was just appointed as a captain of the Guardian Army and a former general's military division!

Wei Yan's faint gaze stayed on Fei Yi's face for a long time before he looked away unhappily.

Not happy, yes, Wei Yan is very unhappy!

I thought that Prime Minister Zhuge Liang would make up for 20,000 troops for him, but he still ordered Wang Ping, Gao Xiang and Deng Ai generals to obey his orders, which was recognized by Zhuge Liang and treated as a general who led an army alone.

But unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang continued to reuse himself with his left hand, and sent a chess piece with his right hand to restrain him, and he also called it a counselor and a military aircraft.

"Humph!" Wei Yan snorted coldly on his face, and sneered in his heart, the captain of the military academy should be the captain of the supervising army, right!

However, although Wei Yan was dissatisfied in his heart, he was still extremely jealous of Zhuge Liang and did not dare to resist Zhuge Liang's order.

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, on the surface, is gentle and elegant, with the style of an ancient gentleman, but he is actually an extremely powerful character. He is well versed in the way of power and strategy, the art of balance, and he is doing an upright conspiracy, and ordinary people can't compete with him at all.

For example, he promoted Deng Ai to be the Sima of other departments, took charge of a battalion alone, and separated this extraordinary young general arranged by His Majesty in his own army from himself.

Don't think about it, Wei Yan also knows that don't look at his infinite scenery and great achievements now, and the generals under his command have also followed him to make many military exploits and make his wife and son. But as long as Zhuge Liang sent a Jun order to relieve the military power to the battalion, he would take a break and command anyone.

Taking a few deep breaths and calming down the resentment in his heart, Wei Yanlu asked Fei Yi in a sullen voice: "Chang'an Kyushu is hopeful, Guanzhong is in the heart, Wen and Qu Cai came to assist General Ben, but I don't know who will take over Chang'an Ling?" ”

Shaking his sleeves, Fei Yi quickly replied to Wei Yandao: "Back to the prince, the successor after the resignation is Yang Yi and Yang Weigong." ”

Fei Yi lowered his eyebrows, with a warm smile on his face, like a subordinate answering Shangguan's question, and he didn't feel that he had the status of a prison soldier and was qualified to sit on an equal footing with Wei Yan.

The title of "Junhou" is used as an honorific word, you must know that the title of "Junhou" in Shu Han usually refers to Guan Yu, whose name shook the world.

Sure enough, this "Junhou" was very useful, Wei Yan's angry look immediately decreased a lot, and Fei Yi said mysteriously at the right time: "When choosing a military captain and military advisor for Junhou, Yang Weigong once recommended himself and wanted to serve in the Junhou army, but the prime minister did not agree to come down to serve in the army. ”

What the! Yang Yi wants to be his protector!

Wei Yan's face changed, the grievances between him and Yang Yi had become so loud and known to the world that Yang Yi took the initiative to invite Ying to come to his army as a protector, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was clearly the guy who wanted to frame him.

Thinking about it, Wei Yan was a little afraid, and hurriedly said to Fei Yi: "Fortunately, I am working with Wen Wei, if it is Yang Yi who comes this time, it will be bad!" ”

Yang Yi smiled and didn't say anything.

Under the right seat, the young and vigorous Deng Ai couldn't help but glance at Fei Yi deeply.

He understood the subtext of Fei Yi's words, which was nothing more than telling Wei Yan that Fei Yi and Yang Yi had different positions, and he didn't want to target Wei Yan everywhere and be an enemy of Wei Yan, but came with a sincere and cooperative attitude.

This son is scheming, not simple. Deng Ai silently labeled Yang Yi in his heart as being good at welcoming and being very deep in the city.

"Father, Cao Hong sent an envoy to cross the river to write a war letter." At this time, a rush of footsteps came from outside the line, and Wei Yan's second son, Wei Chang, walked into the line quickly.

Cao Hong sent an envoy, Wei Yan became interested, and asked Wei Chang: "What do you say?" ”

Wei Chang bowed and hugged his fists and said: "Cao Hong threatened to fight a decisive battle with our army on the west bank of the river, and asked our army to retreat ten miles to make room for the Wei army to cross the river. ”

"Junhou, this is a good opportunity, it is better to agree to Cao Hong's request and give the Wei army a half-cross attack." Anton's general Wang Ping took the lead in suggesting, and at the same time, because of Fei Yi's relationship, he also began to call Wei Yan a prince.

"Hahaha!" When it came to military affairs, Wei Yan was undoubtedly interested, he laughed a few times, and said to Wang Ping: "General Wang underestimates Cao Hong too much and despises the Wei army. Cao Hong is the only remaining veteran of Cao Wei's achievements. With Cao Hong's bravery, if I really let half of the Wei army cross the river, then the defense line I carefully arranged would be useless. ”

"Wei Chang, you go and tell the envoy and ask him to go back and tell Cao Hong: The two countries are at war, and every inch of land must be fought for, how can there be any reason to retreat! If Cao Hong really has nothing to do and can't get to the west bank of the river, then quickly retreat and don't lead his troops to fight again. On the day when General Ben leads his troops to conquer Luoyang, he can still spare his life. Wei Yan looked arrogant and mocking.
