After capturing Luoyang, Zhao Shuzuo asked Liu Chan to change the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty to show the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, which was the beginning. Huan Yi once suggested that Zhao Shu welcome Emperor Liu Chan to move the capital, but Zhao Shu felt that although Luoyang had been conquered, Hanoi and other places were still in the hands of Cao Wei, and Luoyang was not a perfect place, and it was not the time to move the capital. Just chose a place in Luoyang as the temporary general's mansion, Wei Yan still returned to the town of Chang'an, and Hanzhong was guarded by Wang Ping.

Zhao Shu was lucky, Lu Rong gave birth to a big fat boy for him, originally Zhao Shu meant to keep his son away from the field, but Lu Rong said: "My father galloped on the field and was called a flying general; My husband is invincible with his strategy; My son named 'Xinjiang', and in the future, like his father and grandfather, he will expand his territory and sweep all directions. Zhao Shu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, but Lu Rong's body was weak after giving birth, and he didn't bother to argue with her, anyway, the child was the meat that fell from her body, and if she loves Zhao Jiang, she will be called Zhao Jiang.

When Zhao Jiang turned one year old, the battle between Cao Wei and Eastern Wu finally came to an end. Zhuge Ke, the son of Zhuge Jin, offered advice to Sun Quan and sent people to Liaodong to unite with Gongsun Yuan, enter Youzhou, and attack twice. That Gongsun Yuan was in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, and he was unwilling to be lonely for a long time, and as soon as Sun Quan's envoy arrived, he raised his troops and horses and came to Youzhou. Cao Wei's army was all on the southern front to defend Shu Han and Eastern Wu, and the garrison of Youzhou was empty, and Gongsun Yuan connected several cities. Cao Zhi got revenge, secretly lamented the injustice of God's will, and the backyard caught fire, so he only sent troops to the rescue.

Sun Huan learned that Cao Zhi had divided his troops and fought hard with Wuqiu Jian. The Wei army was unstable, and although Cao Zhi ordered to fight to the death, the generals had their own intentions and could not fight with their hearts, so they had to temporarily retreat to Yanzhou. The Wu army took advantage of the trend and forged ahead, and the army won a great victory. When the battle report reached Luoyang, Zhao Shu knew that the time had come, so he asked Huan Yi to come to the mansion to discuss.

After sitting down, Zhao Shu explained the battle between Wei and Wu in detail, and asked again: "Now Cao Wei is attacked on both sides, and Cao Zhi is difficult to support alone, and he is tired of running for his life. I intend to send troops to attack Wei again, what does Yi Jian think? At this time, Wei Yan was in Chang'an, Yugui Town Qinzhou, Luoyang General only Huan Yi was alone, he had been with Zhao Shu for a long time, and knew that he did not have the heart to dominate the world, so he saw Wei and Wu fighting, but the Shu Han army did not move at all, and he was unwilling in his heart. Now when he heard that Zhao Shu took the initiative to speak, determined to attack Cao Wei again, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and said: "The general will fight to the death." ”

Zhao Shu saw it in his eyes and understood that this year's Wei-Wu War, all the generals were impatient in their hearts, and immediately said with a smile: "When Luoyang is recovered, I am not willing to continue to advance north, but the time has not yet come." Now that Wei and Wu have been fighting for many years, our army is well rested, and it is the time to send troops to the Northern Expedition. Huan Yi had the heart to make contributions, and hurriedly said: "The general is going north, and the last general is willing to be the front." I don't know if the general wants to recruit Wei Wenchang, the prince and the other generals, or go on a solo Northern Expedition? ”

Zhao Shu replied: "I intend to let Yi Jian take command first, send troops to attack Hanoi, and then I will recruit and transfer the generals." When the general conquered Hanoi, the generals also gathered in Luoyang, and then marched north together. Huan Yi hugged his fists and said, "The last general will not disgrace his mission." After that, he said in a low voice: "General, Wei Wenchang has been in Chang'an for the past year, recruiting troops and horses, increasing his strength, and sending more people to communicate with the imperial court and Huo Yi and others. This time, the general is going north, and he needs to be on guard as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Shu had already heard of Wei Yan's various actions, and when he heard Huan Yi mention it again, he smiled and said: "Yi Jian still doesn't know Wen Chang enough, I don't expect him to be opposed." Huan Yi didn't want Zhao Shu to be so confident, so he said again: "Even if Wei Yan has no intention, why should others instigate him?" That day, the general scolded Wei Yan in front of everyone, although he didn't say it on the surface, he really resented the general in his heart. The king was killed by him when he returned to the camp, which shows that he was very dissatisfied with the general's punishment in his heart. Zhao Shu still shook his head and said, "Yi Jian doesn't have to worry, just go to Hanoi with peace of mind." I'll take care of the matter of the chief. Huan Yi advised Zhao Shu to be careful of Wei Yan many times, but he was ignored by the other party, so he had to give up, turn around and leave, and go to prepare for the dispatch of troops.

Three days later, Huan Yi raised 50,000 horses and infantry to enter Mengjin Port, once again opening the prelude to the Shu Han invasion of Wei. Zhao Shu also sent envoys to recruit generals. Wei Yan received the general order in Chang'an, and began to prepare for the army. When Jiang Wei heard the news, he also thought that this was a rare opportunity to come to Wei Yan's account again. Wei Yan was discussing military affairs with his second son, but when he saw Jiang Wei coming in, he seemed to understand his meaning, so he asked his second son to retreat first. Jiang Wei saw that there were only him and Wei Yan in the account, so he leaned forward and said: "The general's order has arrived, to make it clear, Huan Yi is marching north with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Luoyang's troops are empty, what is the general's plan?" ”

Although Jiang Wei said it was secretive, Wei Yan understood the meaning, Luoyang was humiliated at the beginning. Wei Yan was indeed very unhappy in his heart, and when he returned to Chang'an, he did recruit troops and horses, expand his strength, and wanted to take risks. But after the anger subsided, Wei Yan couldn't help but hesitate, he first followed Liu Bei, and then followed Zhao Shu, and fought in the south and north for decades before he defeated half of the Shu Han dynasty. Once the Xiao Wall was in trouble, Wei Yan knew that the loss was the national strength of Shu Han, and the two capitals that had just been recovered were afraid that they would fall into the hands of thieves again. Over the years, how much effort has Wei Yan put into the foundation of Shu Han, how can he bear to watch the city he has beaten down with his own hands and then hand it over to others? Of course, he hated Zhao Shu, but Wei Yan never made up his mind and raised troops to compete with him for the authority of Shu Han.

Seeing Jiang Wei persuade himself again, Wei Yan had no choice but to sigh and say: "The general's Northern Expedition this time, the main force of the Wei army is fighting with Eastern Wu, and it will definitely be able to achieve a big victory." In my opinion, it is better to capture Cao Wei with the general first, and then make other plans. "Jiang Wei is not a fool, after he provoked Wei Yan back to Chang'an, he tried his best to help Wei Yan take care of it, but then Wei Yan became more and more calm, and he knew that things had returned to before. Even though Chang'an's troops had expanded from 20,000 to more than 30,000, Wei Yan still didn't dare to compete with Zhao Shu. At present, Huan Yi's army is not in Luoyang, which is a rare opportunity, but it is a pity that Wei Yan will miss it in vain, Jiang Wei also sighed in his heart, and said: "Since the general plans to do so, the last general will naturally comply." It's just that this time, how many men and horses does the general plan to take with him? ”

Wei Yan thought that Jiang Wei was going to remind him to hide his strength again, so he said: "Boyo guards Chang'an for me." As for sending troops to attack Wei, I thought 10,000 people were enough. Jiang Wei said: "No, the general should still bring more people." Wei Yanda was puzzled and asked, "Didn't Boyo ask me to hide my strength on weekdays?" Why do you want to bring more people now? Jiang Wei replied: "The number of soldiers and horses in Chang'an has increased, and the general must have heard of it, and he will not be unclear in his heart." If the general only brings 10,000 soldiers, it will inevitably make him suspicious. It is better to bring more men and horses to show that the general has no selfish intentions to increase troops in Chang'an. ”

Wei Yan nodded and said, "Boyo is high, just according to what you say." The two then discussed some matters of sending troops, and Jiang Wei returned the account, but he inevitably had some regrets in his heart.
