"Rest, all of you. I don't rest. I'm going to take advantage of the victory. Wei Yan never thought so, "If you can take Luoyang in one go and welcome His Majesty the Emperor to enter the old capital, the world will be settled, and then you can have a good rest." ”

"Didn't you say I wanted you to rest?" Ge Liang stared at Wei Yan with wide eyes, "The problem is that it's unrealistic to hit Luoyang in one go." Didn't you just tell me everything? There's a lot of stuff that's not ready yet. Aren't you also making no progress in Hanya? ”

"I'm not resting, I'm going to chase the fleeing enemy." Wei Yan didn't know what to say, so he had to repeat the words, but his body didn't move, as if there was something left untouched.

Ge Liang pulled Wei Yan aside and said softly: "Your General Wei is brave in battle, and those who are capable work hard, so I specially let you continue to seize Hedong County." You see, the battle of this ferry has almost packed up the garrison east of the river. You hurry up and follow you, take advantage of the situation to seize Anyi, and then hurry to seize the north bank of Shaanxi and Tianjin. ”

"There are so many battles to fight, and I'm really the only one to go?" Wei Yan still felt that Ge Liang was unlikely to arrange it like this.

"Well, of course it can't really be without the rear army to support you." Ge Liang confessed softly, "When all the captives are settled, I will send someone to help you seize the north bank of Shaanxi and Tianjin." ”

"In this way, we threaten Luoyang from three aspects: Hangu, Shaanxi-Tianjin, and the Yellow River waterway. When His Majesty the Emperor and the general seize Wancheng, and then threaten Luoyang from the south, the defenders of Luoyang will be attacked everywhere and will be unable to defend against it. Wei Yan seemed to understand what Ge Liang meant.

Ge Liang nodded: "Not only that, but when His Majesty the Emperor and the generals take Wancheng, they can threaten Luoyang from the south." If there is no good opportunity in the short term, and you are lucky enough to be able to merge the state and threaten Yecheng, then Cao Pi will be even more in a hurry. ”

Wei Yan's eyes began to glow.

"How?" Ge Liang saw that Wei Yan had a happy look on his face, and couldn't help but joke again, "We just captured Yongliang and Liangzhou this time." Now send you north to the east, and Sili Hedong, Bingzhou, and Jizhou will all be handed over to you. You're going to have to do a great job. ”

Wei Yan was not so easy to coax, and immediately lowered his face: "There are so many things, how many people should be sent to follow up." ”

Ge Liang crossed his fingers and stretched out a slap.

"Five fake again?" Wei Yan shouted so loudly.

The "five" last time was just five flags used to scare people, but it only fooled people for a few days before it was recognized.

"Shhhh Ge Liang asked him to whisper, "This time it's really five thousand!" ”

That's pretty much it! Wei Yan was immediately uneasy: "These five thousand, it won't be the people and horses who want to stay on the north bank of Shaanxi and Tianjin, right?" ”

Ge Liang reassured him: "No, no, there is another army left on the north bank of Shaanxi and Tianjin." ”

Then he reminded: "But these five thousand may not be directly under your jurisdiction." ”

Wei Yan was immediately unhappy again: "Why? I can't mobilize them, isn't that the same as not having any? ”

Ge Liang also made a bitter face: "Alas, let's be honest, when Hedong County is pacified, if you go out and merge the state, you can't be too willful." Do you know? I am staying in Yongliang now, in addition to considering that we may need support from people and horses in Jingzhou, we also have to take into account that this Yongliang is connected to Waihu in the north. Now we are fighting with Cao Pi, but if we let foreign enemies take the opportunity to invade the land of the country, it will be a great sin. So I remind you that Na Bingzhou is also connected to Xianbei in the north, and you should not exhaust all your strength in order to defeat the Wei army, and when the foreign enemy invades, you will have no strength to resist. ”

It turned out that there were so many considerations, and Wei Yan's face became serious.

Ge Liang didn't say much: "In short, when you go, you have to have more eyes, don't blindly be cautious and brave." Okay, you go now. I will then send someone to follow me to Anyi and Shaanjin with baggage. ”

Wei Yan arched his hand, indicating obedience, raised his head again, looked around, and said, "Then, can I ...... those horses of mine?"

"Oh, I almost forgot." Ge Liang patted his head, and then pointed at Wei Yan with a smile, "You wait a minute." I'm going to talk to them. ”

Chen Yin and Hou Xuan were talking, and Ge Liang found them first: "The two generals, now that they have returned to Guanzhong, are they talking about their hometown?" ”

"Not really." The two of them hurriedly replied, "I heard Da Sima just now say that he wanted to suspend the attack and rest in Guanzhong, so we were talking about it, and we can also go home and have a look at it with peace of mind." After leaving for the past few years, the people in my hometown don't know if they still know us. ”

"It's time to go home and have a look." Ge Liang said yes again and again, and chatted with them a few words about the customs and customs of Guanzhong before turning to the topic, "Now everyone has to rest first, but General Wei Yan still has to work hard to pursue the enemy army north, and nothing else, but most of his men are foot soldiers, lack war horses, and I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity." ”

Chen Yin and Hou Xuan immediately expressed their understanding: "Since we don't have to fight for the time being, the hundreds of war horses under our command might as well be a favor and give it to General Wei." ”

They can think about it, and it is estimated that they will be sealed in Guanzhong from now on, waiting for retirement.

Ge Liang was also polite: "That...... Thank you to the two generals. Of course, Guan Long produces good horses, and it will soon be replenished for the two generals. Then he asked Wei Yan to bring someone over and handle the handover with them.

"That'...... Thank you to the two generals. "Wei Yan got cheap, and he still remembered to say good things.

"What is the hussar general thinking?" Ge Liang immediately found Ma Chao again.

There was such a big commotion over there, Ma Chao saw it in his eyes, and knew what Ge Liang wanted to do, but he pretended not to know first, but said with a straight face: "I was thinking, the generals in Guanzhong prevented Cao Jun from entering the customs, but unfortunately he didn't get his wish." The generals went their separate ways. Now General Chen Yin and General Hou Xuan have returned in glory, but it is a pity that Liang Xing and others were defeated and died, leaving General Yang Qiu to surrender to Cao Cao. This time we returned to Yongliang, he Yang Qiu led the army to garrison Anding, neither sent troops to rescue Chang'an, nor sent someone to show us submission, so should I go to talk to him? ”

Is this guy still having trouble with Wei Yan? Ge Liang deliberately asked Chen Yin and Hou Xuan to send the horse to Wei Yan first, didn't he hint at him Ma Chao first? I didn't expect this guy to pretend to be confused first! However, what they said was right, and they had to answer first: "Yes, not only General Yang Qiu, but also the counties of Longyou, those Cao Wei officials who did not express their submission before, it should be time for them to express their position." ”

Ma Chao really wanted to stay in Guanzhong for a while, and he didn't dare to really pretend to be confused in front of Ge Liang, so he immediately said: "Since Da Sima said that he wanted to rest for a while, and there was no war in Guanzhong for a while, then divide some of the war horses to General Wei Yan." Da Sima said that some of the horses that were allocated to me in Hanzhong and Wudu were captured by his general Wei Yan from the enemy? ”

Ge Liang hurriedly nodded: "Yes, I used to consider that our cavalry was too small, so it was better to concentrate and use it, so I transferred a lot of horses from Wei Yan to enrich your team. ”

"Haha." Ma Chao pretended to be bold, "I don't know how many horses were transferred from him at the beginning?" Ma Chao lives in this place where horses are produced, and now that he has returned here, he doesn't have to worry about having no war horses available. How much was transferred from him at the beginning, now give it all back to him. lest he always think that I robbed him of his things and owe him a favor. ”

"Why don't you send him more?" Now that Ma Chao expressed his attitude, Ge Liang simply explained all his words.

"Okay then." Ma Chaozheng was worried that Ge Liang would let him immediately lead his troops to continue northward, he wanted to stay in Guanzhong for a while longer, "Now my cavalry, for the time being, there are only about 4,000 people left. It's better to give him half of it. The rest is all brought by the heroes, and that's not something I can call the shots. ”
