You chased after me, tossed and turned for nearly a month, and large-scale clashes have not occurred. Sima Yi was not shocked, but Zhang He couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but say: "Metropolitan Governor, if our army is divided into several roads, we can force Zhuge Jin to the riverside, and we will definitely wipe it out in one fell swoop." ”

"No, Zhuge Jin is not as good as Lu Xun, he is extremely cautious in using troops, if we divide our troops, or we can fall into its scheme, we can't go to the riverside, there will be soldiers and horses ambushing the other side here, and then we will fall into passivity." Sima Yi waved his hand.

"Being teased by this unknown person, I would have been unwilling." Zhang He said.

"The general's words are wrong, Zhuge Jin is not an unknown person." Sima Yi said very fairly: "I think that Jiangdong is full of talents, as the brother of Zhuge Liang of Xishu, he can stand tall and win the trust of Sun Quan, this person is absolutely good, and his scheming is only afraid that he is not under you and me." ”

At this moment, a fast horse came, it was the messenger sent by Cao Zhen, Sima Yi hurriedly inquired about the situation, the messenger said that the general Xu Huang and the saint were captured by Wang Baoyu into Yiling City within one day, and asked the metropolitan governor to send troops to support.

Zhang He and Xu Huang have a good relationship, and when they heard the news, they couldn't sit still, and said eagerly: "Governor Dadu, immediately raise troops in Yiling, the saint and General Xu can't afford to lose!" ”

Sima Yi let out a long sigh and asked the messenger to return, saying that he would go to the rescue after a little regrouping. However, after the messenger left, Sima Yi ordered the army to return to Hexi, and did not want to go over and mingle at all.

"Governor, what do you mean by this, as a courtier, the saint is in danger, how can you not save it?" Zhang He was annoyed, and he had the posture of turning his face with Sima Yi.

"General don't worry, that Wang Baoyu is a person of great affection, he will not harm General Xu Huang, nor will he harm the saint, and the two will be released." Sima Yi said.

"The battle between the two armies is like fire and water, how can there be any affection?" Zhang He didn't understand.

"If you let the general lead the troops to fight Yiling, are you willing to fight Wang Baoyu on the battlefield?" Sima Yi asked with a smile.

"It's not a secret, when I fought with the emperor in the Western Liang Han Dynasty, Wang Baoyu was a military advisor who sacrificed wine, had quite a lot of military achievements, and was easy-going, and never played right and wrong. Let me slash him, but I can't bear it. Zhang He said without concealment.

"The general is relieved, in my opinion, it is useless for the Holy Lord to send troops, and in a few days, he will lead the army to withdraw, if we go today, but let Zhuge Jin take advantage of it, I am afraid that Heqi will fall into the hands of Jiangdong and bury endless hidden dangers." Sima Yi said.

"But the Holy Lord and General Gongming are in the hands of Wang Baoyu, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it." Zhang He said worriedly.

"I can take a blame." Sima Yi said with an oath.

After some enlightenment by Sima Yi, although Zhang He was worried, he still followed him and withdrew the army back to Hexi. Sima Yi still focused on how to deal with Zhuge Jin, studying strategies day and night, but he didn't mention the arrest of the saint, Zhang He was anxious, didn't think about tea and dinner, and was so anxious that he turned around.

I'm afraid that in case, if the saint is injured by Wang Baoyu's generals, it will also be a major event that will shake the government and the opposition. Xu Huang is a famous general of the dynasty, which is equivalent to the pillar stone of the Wei State, and he can't die in Yiling.

Several times, Zhang He wanted to persuade Sima Yi, but seeing his calm and confident expression, Zhang He still suppressed his doubts, thinking that if he waited for a few more days, it would really not work, and he could lead his troops to support first.

About seven days later, in the midst of Zhang He's anxious waiting, the messenger finally arrived again and gave the latest information. General Xu Huang fought all the way and successfully escaped from Yiling City with the saint, but he was seriously injured, the saint had a high fever and could not fight again, and the army had withdrawn to Luoyang.

Zhang He's eyes suddenly wet with tears, and sighed: "Alas, the Holy Dragon is in good health, I'm afraid that he was poisoned in Yiling, and General Gongming was also seriously injured, which is really heart-wrenching, so Wang Baoyu is ruthless in the end." ”

Sima Yi didn't say anything about this, but said lightly: "General, we can also clean up the soldiers and horses, and we are about to return to the court." ”

Zhang He retreated depressedly, Sima Yi showed a trace of disdain on his face, and said to himself: "Xu Huang can escape from Yiling with the Holy Lord with the strength of one person, it is unbelievable, it must be a bitter plan!" The reincarnation of the divine doctor Hua Tuo is in Yiling, there is a trick to fake death and bring the dead back to life, what is the difficulty of having a high fever? Hmph, Wang Baoyu is so good at buying people's hearts, he is afraid that Dawei will fall into his hands sooner or later. ”

As Sima Yi expected, a few days later, Zhuge Jin led the army to support Cao Zhen and led the army back to Jiangdong.

After Sima Yi's army rested for a while, he also led the army back to Luoyang, and when he passed through Yingchuan, he saw a soldier in Wei army costume, galloping on horseback.

This person is Deng Ai who was released back by Wang Baoyu, in that chaotic era, of course, this kind of lone person must be investigated in detail, and he cannot let spies enter his territory.

Deng Ai claimed to be a small grain supervisor who ran back from Yiling, and Sima Yi was very sensitive when he heard the words of Yiling, and personally examined Deng Ai.

Deng Ai stuttered strictly, but Sima Yi was extremely patient, and listened to Deng Ai stammering about the whole process, without letting go of a single detail.

At this time, Deng Ai didn't have much ambition, he just wanted to protect himself, and how he led people to burn the grain cart in Jingzhou, how he was captured, and then put back by Wang Baoyu, told the story very laboriously, and even did not hide the matter of ten taels of gold and war horses.

Sima Yi was surprised, he secretly praised Deng Ai, dared to go deep alone, and burned Wang Baoyu's grain and grass, this resourcefulness and courage are by no means ordinary people, but what makes him feel even more incredible is that Wang Baoyu let Deng Ai go in exchange for the conditions, hoping that Deng Ai would return the favor and release Liu Chan in the future.

Wang Baoyu often has amazing behavior, and it is also rumored that he had madness when he was a child, and when ordinary people hear this, they will think that Wang Baoyu is a neurotic. But with Sima Yi's smart brain, he comprehensively judged Wang Baoyu's intelligence level, and soon analyzed one thing, that is, today's Shu Han will perish, which seems to be related to Deng Ai, who can't even speak a complete sentence.

Thinking of this, Sima Yi laughed, and it was difficult to hide the joy on his face, since the mandate of heaven is like this, then obey the will of heaven, and then the strategic goal should be focused on Xishu.

As for Deng Ai, Sima Yi admired him very much, and kept him by his side, while asking him to try to restrain his stuttering, and at the same time warned him that this matter should not be talked about to anyone.

From Deng Ai's mouth, Sima Yi heard that he had quite an opinion on grain production, so he put him in charge of this work.
