"Soldiers, this time the enemy is menacing, concentrating superior forces to besiege our army on the western route in the Guanlong area, and tricks are repeated, taking advantage of the emptiness of our Guanzhong, and driving straight in. Although after everyone's bloody battle, it is a pity that they are still outnumbered, and in desperation, they have to retreat. Alas! It's a pity that our nearly 100,000 soldiers, blood-stained the land of Guanlong, still failed to save the defeat. I—I'm sorry everyone. I—I'm very saddened. Sima Yi said, really shedding a few tears.

"But," he said, with a slight glow on his face, "I am fortunate that I reacted in time, and quickly seized Kasakazu, thus preserving a retreat for everyone in time to save them from the danger of overturning." ā€

"But," he was a little unable to cry in an instant, "However, in order to prevent the invasion of the enemy, our general Zhengxi, and tens of thousands of soldiers, stubbornly resisted all the way, inflicted heavy losses on the invading enemy, and won us precious time to seize Kasakatsu. Now, we have arrived here safely, but the generals of Zhengxi have fallen into the enemy's heavy encirclement, trapped in the city of Chang'an, waiting for help. ā€

Immediately, he was full of passion and gave everyone a good news: "After the enemy seized Tongguan, they were still bold and wanted to attack Luoyang, but their good days are over!" In Hangu Pass, after our Hongnong Taishou led the vast number of soldiers and civilians, relying on the dangerous pass to carry out stubborn resistance, timely blocked the enemy's offensive pace, and with the support of the army led by General Jia Kui sent by the imperial court, it has won great victories again and again, driving the enemy back to Tongguan! ā€

The soldiers of the Wei army, who had been defeated all the way, heard the good news, and really came to some spirits, and their faces began to show a little joy, if the enemy loses over there, then the pressure on our side will be reduced.

Even Sima Shi couldn't help but applaud loudly, this was really exciting, when he came, he didn't hear that Jia Kui had driven the enemy back to Tongguan.

Sima Yi listened to the voice of his son behind him, quickly turned his head one hundred and eighty degrees, and glared at him fiercely. His eyes are full of anger, you stupid son, screaming so loudly, and you want to be in the limelight and seek death?

Sima Shi was looking at his father passionately, hoping to get more good news from his mouth, when he was suddenly swept away by the cold light in his father's eyes, and immediately half cold.

What the hell is wrong with me, why is my father always complaining about me?

Sima Yi's head had already turned back to the front, and he continued to lecture the soldiers: "Although the enemy's offensive has been stopped, and Luoyang has been ensured, Tongguan is dangerous, and it is difficult to quickly recapture it for a while. ā€

Wei Ping didn't know what Sima Yi was going to do, and he couldn't help but take the lead and shout: "Let's cheer up our spirits, go hard to attack Tongguan, open the passage between Guanzhong and Jingshi, and welcome the imperial army to recover Guanlong!" ā€

Alas, how can these people think of good things? Sima Yi glanced at Wei Ping, but instead of casting a cold light like he did for his son, his eyes were full of admiration and nodded with satisfaction.

In times of crisis, such passionate generals are needed, and you will be the one who will lead the army at that time!

Most of the ordinary sergeants below were silent, firstly, they were not allowed to make loud noises without permission, and secondly, most of them were already waiting impatiently here, and they just wanted to cross the river and go back quickly.

Sima Yi did not disappoint them, and then said: "Although our army has achieved a certain victory, but now more than 100,000 enemy troops are raging in Guanzhong, and rebellions are occurring one after another in various places. His Majesty the Emperor has decided to temporarily abandon Guanzhong for the sake of the overall situation, and ordered General Zhengxi to temporarily withdraw from Chang'an and return to Luoyang to rest. ā€

This is the reason why everyone can't go home as soon as possible these days, they used to complain that Cao Zhen dragged them down, but now it's okay, even the emperor has ordered him to go home, and everyone can finally go home.

The chatter of the sergeants below suddenly became louder and buzzing.

Understand, really understand, Sima Yi waited for everyone to be excited for a while before waving his hand to signal quiet, and then told everyone: "General Zhengxi is the pillar of our army." The more than 20,000 soldiers guarding Chang'an City are elite divisions left behind by a hundred battles and big waves. His Majesty the Emperor naturally cherished them and could not let them sit still in Chang'an, so he ordered us to respond and help them safely evacuate the Yellow River and return to the Central Plains. ā€

Wow, you have to pick them up? Isn't this going to bring everyone to the kang again? The hum of the sergeants suddenly became several times louder.

That's it, even the emperor ordered them to go home, what did they do earlier? It's a shame that we've been here for so long, and we're going to have to turn around and pick them up again.

Understand, absolutely understand! Sima Yi was as they thought from the bottom of his heart. If Cao Zhen had realized that Guan Long's defeat had been decided and withdrew as soon as possible, he would have gone home a long time ago. And with Cao Zhen taking the lead, he doesn't have to bear much of a sin when he goes back.

After everyone discussed for a while, Sima Yi began to give everyone confidence again: "His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to the armies in Guanzhong, and of course he will not abandon everyone, so he sent heavy troops into Hangu to resolutely attack the enemy, and has achieved great results, which has greatly damaged the enemy's confidence." Now the situation is starting to move closer to our advantage. The enemy lost out of Tongguan, and the siege operation in Chang'an was heavily damaged by the general Zhengxi, and they suffered heavy casualties, and they definitely did not dare to do anything wrong like before, perhaps, at this time they were thinking about how to prevent us from counterattacking. ā€

Oh, it turns out that the enemy besieged Chang'an and suffered heavy casualties? It's no wonder that the nearby Shu army hasn't come to harass the challenge for several days. The sergeants really regained some confidence, and the discussion was quieter, waiting for Sima Yi's next step.

"General Wei Ping also said just now, hoping to help General Jia Kui, who came from the west, to attack Tongguan. The enemy is certainly afraid that we will do this. However, since His Majesty the Emperor had issued an order to take over the general Zhengxi, they made an appointment with the general Zhengxi, and everyone pretended to march to Tongguan together, but in fact, after the two armies met, they quickly returned to Puban to cross the river. In this way, it will be possible to completely surprise the enemy, so as to avoid everyone being attacked by the enemy army again. Well, this is called in the art of war. "Sima Yi began to talk to everyone about war strategy.

The sergeants will be suspicious, during this time, they have always fallen into the enemy's scheme, and now they want to calculate them, can they succeed?

Sima Yi said that he could succeed, his face was radiant, and he said loudly to the army: "The messenger sent to General Zhengxi has been there for two days, and he should have arrived in Chang'an by now." After General Zhengxi's reply, we will go all out to welcome General Zhengxi's smooth return! ā€

In order to add some confidence to everyone, he also loudly announced: "At that time, I will take the lead and personally lead the army to set off and charge ahead!" ā€

Wei Ping hurriedly took the lead in raising his arms and shouted: "Follow Shang Shufu to shoot the adult, kill back to Chang'an, and rescue the general of Zhengxi!" ā€

Although Sima Yi said something inconsistent, since he was so excited that he was going to lead the army in person, the sergeants had nothing to say, so they had to shout: "Kill back to Chang'an and rescue General Zhengxi!" ā€

"Shh Sima Yi didn't let everyone shout: "Don't shout too loudly, don't let the enemy know our true plan." ā€
