Guanzhong, and even the Sili area, because of Cao Pi's several edicts, were quickly mobilized.

In Xuchang, Sima Yi did not wait for Wang Ling to arrive at all, but directly left the government affairs and county officials, traveled lightly, and only took twenty guards and his eldest son Sima Shi, and went straight to Wancheng.

Sima Shi, who was only seventeen years old, didn't understand his father's approach, and asked suspiciously, "Father, the imperial court, the law of the imperial court, those who leave their posts before they take over, and why is my father so anxious, won't he fall into the hands of others?!" ”

In the first ten years, Sima Yi's life was not easy.

At that time, Cao Cao was in power, and in the face of such an old fox, no matter how careful and cautious Sima Yi was, he could not completely eliminate Cao Cao's suspicion of himself.

There's no way, who made Sima Yi pretend to be a little too much in his early years, and he has a face that really can't be easily believed.

The Book of Jin said that Sima Yi was reluctant to go out to Cao Cao in his early years, because his family was a generation of Hanchen, and he couldn't get used to Cao Cao's style, so he pretended to be sick and didn't want to go out of Shixin.

Actually, in the early years, Sima Yi didn't want to be a man in his early years, not for the sake of the Han family, but for the sake of his own life.

In the early years, the Sima family cooperated with Cao Cao, and Sima Yi's eldest brother Sima Lang was recruited by Cao Cao as a subordinate official of Sikong Mansion at the age of twenty-two, which can be regarded as an official of Cao Wei's group.

It stands to reason that the relationship between the Sima family and the Cao group is still good, so when Cao Cao heard that Sima Lang's younger brother Sima Yi was quite talented and wanted to recruit him as an official, Sima Yi had no reason to refuse.

But Sima Yi was also young at that time, he was so angry, he wanted to die, and no one could stop him.

Cao Cao personally recruited Sima Yi to go out, but in order to show that he was high, Sima Yi used the excuse that he had "wind paralysis" and could not get out of bed and walk, thus rejecting Cao Cao's expedition.

This trick may be really useful for ordinary Eastern Han officials, after all, it was popular in those years.

Even if these officials knew that Sima Yi's excuse was very clumsy, they would finally praise him with the sentence "Elegant and noble, not burdened by the world." Then this time Sima Yi met Cao Cao.

Who is Cao Cao, can you see through what kind of trick you Sima Yi is?! Can you get used to this?!

Okay, don't you claim to be "rheumatism"?! So I sent men to observe and tempt you. If I catch you lying, you don't have to keep your life.

Sima Yi's unlucky person lay on the bed and pretended to be half-paralyzed for several years.

Later, Cao Cao didn't bother to talk nonsense with Sima Yi, and directly issued a conquest order to forcibly expropriate Sima Yi At this time, Sima Yi finally knew what kind of lord he was facing, and knew that continuing to play tricks was really a matter of life, so he obediently went out of the Cao Group.

After that, it may be because the impression left on Cao Cao is really not very good, so although Sima Yi does his best, Cao Cao always feels that this kid is not a good person, and Sima Yi's own appearance is rather peculiar, giving people a more dangerous feeling.

It's really not like in folklore, Sima Yi's head can be turned one hundred and eighty degrees, but his appearance is more gloomy, giving people a feeling of being too serious.

Cao Cao was originally seriously suspicious, and Sima Yi had died by himself once before, which caused Cao Cao to not be very at ease with Sima Yi.

In addition, in those years, Cao Cao's power has increased day by day, and his attitude towards the family has become unfathomable Kong Rong of the world's famous people day by day, Cao Cao said that he would kill him, and although Cao Cao did not kill such a famous person as You Heng, his treatment was not much better.

Sima Yi is really a little unpredictable about Cao Cao's attitude towards the family, but it is obvious that he Sima Yi is indeed a standard child of the family, and has always been suspicious of Cao Cao In this case, Sima Yi has always done his best and been cautious.

This is also why, Sima Yi did not abide by the laws of the imperial court this time, and when he set off for Wancheng without waiting for Wang Ling to take office, Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi would ask questions.

This is not in line with Daddy's usual style.

What can Sima Yi say?!

I can't say that the times are different now, the inscrutable Emperor Taizuwu is no longer there, when I am an iron buddy today, we don't have to be taboo so much, how embarrassing it is to say it.

Therefore, Sima Yi pretended to be deep, and said to Sima Shi in a tone of educating his son, "My son is young, and he still doesn't know how to fight. Don't you hear that the soldiers are fast?! The Son of Heaven came with an edict, it took a few days, for his father to wait for Wang Yanyun to arrive, and it would take a few days to deliver the affairs, and it would take a few days to rush to Wancheng, and it would take a few days for the military situation in Wancheng to be in danger, Zhang Wenyuan was trapped in the lonely city, how could he afford to wait for so long. Rushing to Wancheng for his father is to go to trouble for the country, a little red tape, how can the Son of Heaven blame him? ! ”

This is true, there is indeed nothing wrong with this, Sima Yi rushed to Wancheng in such a hurry, there is indeed a reason for the speed of the soldiers, after all, the situation in Wancheng, with Sima Yi's strategic vision, will not be unable to see how bad it is.

But. If Cao Cao was in power, do you think Sima Yi would have exerted his "subjective initiative" like this?!

In the final analysis, Cao Pi trusts Sima Yi enough, and Sima Yi also believes that as long as he does things well, Cao Pi will not hold on to these small details.

Of course, the speed of the soldiers is indeed very correct.

The specific situation of Wancheng, not to mention Sima Yi, is that Cao Pi can't figure it out for a while, he only knows that Zhang Liao is delaying time in Deng County, how long can it be delayed, Zhang Liao didn't say, Cao Pi can't judge.

Therefore, Sima Yi can only rush for time and arrive in Wancheng one day earlier, the greater the possibility of holding Wancheng.

Sima Shi's explanation to Sima Yi suddenly realized, and the father and son didn't talk nonsense all the way, and rushed to Wancheng.

From Xuchang to Wancheng, in fact, the road is really not too close.

Compared with sending troops from Xiangyang to Wancheng in the north, Xuchang must be much closer to Wancheng, but if compared with the distance from Deng County to Wancheng, Xuchang is far away.

Therefore, Sima Yi was really in a hurry along the way, and rushed to Wancheng as quickly as possible.

As soon as he arrived in Wancheng, Sima Yi got bad news.

When Sima Yi arrived in Wancheng, the news that Deng County was attacked by Shu thieves finally reached Wancheng, and along with the news that Zhang Liao was martyred.

This news was told by Zhang Liao's personal guards and more than 1,000 soldiers who withdrew from Deng County to Wancheng, and even Zhang Liao's body was escorted back to Wancheng by them, so it can't be fake at all.

After Zhang Liao died of illness in the military tent, the next day, Zhang Liao's personal guards followed Zhang Liao's last order and surrendered to Guan Yu in Kaicheng.

And Guan Yu did understand Zhang Liao's intentions, and did not embarrass these surrendered Wei troops, let alone incorporate them, but distributed some dry food to these surrendered soldiers, and asked them to escort Zhang Liao's body and go north to Wancheng to report the funeral.

After all, this is not only Zhang Liao's last life, but also Guan Yu's last journey to send his friends.

Although Guan Yu was also mentally prepared, he would not feel good when he really learned the news of his friend's death.

Not to mention, his friend still died in his own hands, which made Guan Yu's mood even more complicated, and it was naturally not too difficult to deal with more than 1,000 people.

After seeing his father's body, Zhang Hu suddenly fell to the ground and cried.

At this moment, Zhang Hu did not have the heart to continue fighting, and according to Zhang Liao's instructions in front of him, he wrote to Cao Pi, the son of the Great Wei Dynasty, asking for his father's coffin to be returned to his hometown for burial.

After Sima Yi arrived in Wancheng, he also went to worship Zhang Liao.

On the one hand, it is a respect for this veteran of a hundred battles, and on the other hand, Sima Yi also has to collect the hearts of the army.

The Nanyang Legion, most of which were soldiers who had followed Zhang Liao to guard in Nanyang for five years, must have been very respectful to Zhang Liao, and Sima Yi did this in exchange for the recognition of the Nanyang Legion, and the province would be tied up when he commanded the defensive battle in the future.

Cao Pi's private message to Sima Yi made it very clear that in a short period of time, it is unlikely that reinforcements will arrive in the Nanyang area, and it is necessary to rely on Sima Yi to command more than 20,000 defeated troops in Nanyang and hold on for a period of time before Cao Pi's reinforcements to Sima Yi arrive.

But the Nanyang Army, after all, is a newly defeated army, and if it wants to hold on, Sima Yi, who is obviously going to have a big problem if the military is not in agreement, is just paying a tribute to Zhang Liao, and he can exchange for the most basic favor of the soldiers, why not do it? !

After worshipping Zhang Liao, Sima Yi immediately raised his tent to point troops, except for Zhang Hu, all the other generals were in place, waiting for him Sima Yi's fate.

In fact, there is nothing to deal with, just a few people, these generals are not very talented, they are stronger than lieutenant colonels and lieutenants Sima Yi now understands why Zhang Liao has an accident, and the entire Nanyang Army is like the sky has collapsed.

But Sima Yi can't help it now, just a few crooked melons and cracked dates, they should be used.

After being promoted to a general and asking about the situation in the army, Sima Yi made some defensive arrangements, and then asked the generals to abide by their duties and do their best.

The defense of Wancheng has its own system, and this system was first arranged by Zhang Liao.

With Zhang Liao's experience and ability, there is no problem with this system, and Sima Yi is not the kind of person who is rigid and self-serving, and he has to deny everything from his predecessor. Since Zhang Liao has arranged a very good system, it will be used well.

The most important question now is when the Shu thieves will come to commit it.

At this time, Sima Yi finally received good news.

Since the Shu thieves broke through Deng County, they have been resting in Deng County, and now it has been five days, and there is no sign of entering Wancheng north.

This news is good, and Sima Yi is a little vague. What the hell are the Shu thieves doing?!

Guan Yun is a famous general for a long time, it is impossible not to know the truth of the speed of soldiers. Could it be some conspiracy?!
