The battle situation in Luoyang once again fell into a period of calm.

With the arrival of winter, the two sides gradually tacitly dismissed the army, Sima Yi left Wang Ling and 10,000 soldiers to garrison Gongxian, and he led the remaining 27,000 people to retreat to the Tiger Pass.

In fact, according to Sima Yi's meaning, there is no need for Wang Ling to be stationed in Gong County, after all, the geographical location of Gong County is not important, and it is too close to Luoyang, and the defense is very risky.

However, because Sima Yi did not capture Xiangcheng and complete the goal of completely recovering Yingchuan, the current situation in Yingchuan is only a return to the pre-war state For Great Wei, this Gongxian is the only gain from this counterattack on Luoyang.

For the sake of the face of the Great Wei Emperor, this Gong County cannot be defended now.

As for the Sima brothers in Mengjindu, as well as Cao Zhen in Shaanxi County, they have now withdrawn their respective troops, one to Hanoi and the other to Hedong.

This means that Cao Wei's counterattack on Heluo is completely over here.

Judging from the results of the battle, although the Han lost a Gong County, it held Luoyang, so it can be said that the Han won this battle.

In terms of the extent of the attrition of troops, the Han lost more than 47,000 men, and the Cao Wei side lost 33,000 men. In terms of battle damage, it was Cao Wei who won.

Among them, Sima Yi went south to relieve the siege of Yingchuan, and a hearty victory almost encircled and annihilated the 40,000 soldiers of Wu Yi's department, which not only allowed Cao Wei to regain face in this counteroffensive campaign, but also made Sima Yi famous.

There is no way, in this battle, Sima Yi fought too beautifully, a surprise battle, an ambush battle, completely defeated Wu Yi's troops, and severely damaged the Wudang Fei Army and the Southern Han Army, and the casualties paid by himself were only more than 2,000 people.

If it weren't for Zhuge Liang's timely counterattack outside Luoyang City, and it was possible to capture the Tiger Pass, forcing Sima Yi to have to defend himself, Sima Yi would really have been able to directly attack Xiangcheng.

Cao Wei's official, the face lost in Luoyang was finally recovered in Yingchuan, and he could end the war with dignity according to Chen Qun's opinion.

And Sima Yi, after being suppressed by Zhuge Liang for a long time, finally showed his true ability in Wu Yi and regained the recognition of the Great Wei government and the opposition.

Just alone, it seems a little unhappy. General Cao Zhen.

It's not that Cao Zhen is jealous of Sima Yi, but that Cao Zhen felt that in this counterattack on Luoyang, he fought too badly, and after returning to Hedong County, the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved and closed all day long, and finally fell ill directly.

When Cao Zhen himself went to Hedong to lead the troops on the expedition, he was only recovering from a serious illness, and he was tired of fighting in the past six months, but he achieved this virtue.

Under the mood of depression, it is normal to fall ill again.

But Cao Zhen's illness, Cao Rong can't wait to ignore it, and Cao Zhen, the only one among the clan generals who can still be of some use, if there is any accident, then he will really have no one to use.

For this reason, Cao Rong issued an edict to take Cao Zhen back to Yecheng to recuperate, and the defense of Hedong County was handed over to Qin Lang to be responsible.

At the same time, Cao Rong also recalled Sima Yi, Xiahouba, and Sima Zhao to Yecheng.

Sima Yi and Xiahou Ba returned to Yecheng, which was completely official business.

This counterattack on Luoyang failed, although he found some face in Yingchuan County, but if he lost, he lost, and Cao Rong would not be fooled by a little face project.

It is also time to recall Sima Yi and Xiahou Ba, summarize the accountability, and see where the problem is, of course, there will be no less rewards, and political showmanship is also necessary.

As for Sima Zhao, he actually returned to Yecheng with a mission.

"Please" Liu Xie, the Duke of Shanyang of Dawei, to face Jun in Yecheng.

There's no way, Shanyang County, it's not too far from Luoyang in Hanoi County.

The current Liu Xie, to be honest, whether it is for Ji Han or Da Wei, it is a bit like a hot potato, which is really not easy to deal with.

When Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, when the news reached Hanzhong, there were also rumors of Liu Xie's murder.

In these years, the transmission of news is really not very well-informed, and it is not convenient to verify, and the news of the murder of Emperor Han Xian is still from Cao Wei. Who would doubt this?

Moreover, in Liu Bei's heart at that time, it was very natural for Cao Pi to usurp Han and Liu Xie to be killed. Liu Bei didn't think that Liu Hui was the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, and he would willingly cooperate with Cao Pi to engage in any Zen ceremonies.

Because from Liu Bei's point of view, I really can't understand the son of the Han Dynasty, don't you even have the courage to live and die with Jiangshan Sheji?!

Whether it was Cao Pi killing Liu Xie, or Liu Xie's self-determination to fulfill the king's festival, anyway, Liu Xie was in Liu Bei's heart, and there was a high probability that he was really dead.

Therefore, Liu Bei gave Liu Xie the nickname of "Emperor Xiaomin", and even gave him a funeral.

At that time, the monarchs and ministers of Shudi, up to Liu Bei, down to hundreds of civil and military officials, in fact, no one thought that Liu Xie could survive.

And after that, as time went by, the news that Liu Xie did not die, but became the Duke of Shanyang of Great Wei gradually began to spread to Shu. This made Liu Bei, who was still alive at the time, a little embarrassed.

What should I do, at that time, Liu Bei had already called the emperor this emperor, Liu Bei could do it if he wanted to, but he didn't want to do it, and his subordinates didn't agree.

Therefore, on the question of whether Liu Xie is still alive, Ji Han has always taken a vague attitude since its establishment, not verifying, but also not admitting it.

And the amazing thing is that Cao Wei also chose to treat Liu Xie coldly, reducing Liu Xie's sense of existence as much as possible, even if it may give Ji Han's regime a basis for legitimization, he never attacks Ji Han with the issue that Liu Xie is still alive.

In fact, the reason is also very simple, Cao Wei's political law comes from Liu Xie's Zen concession, or in other words, if it is okay for the Chan Dynasty Han to let Liu Xie come out to brush up on his sense of existence, with the prestige of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, Cao Pi, the Han of the Zen Dynasty, still has a fart meaning? !

It's better to be the king of Han Wei and control the government comfortably.

Of course, these are the previous patterns, Ji Han lives in Shu, and Dawei occupies two of the world, so it doesn't hurt to treat Liu Xie so coldly.

But now, the pattern has changed, Ji Han has returned to Luoyang, and held it in this counteroffensive.

In this case, it is impossible for Cao Rong to let Liu Xie continue to stay in Shanyang County.

It's not that Cao Ei wants to do anything to Liu Xie, Cao Ei is just worried about what the Shu thieves will do with Liu Xie.

Luoyang and Hanoi County are separated by a Yellow River, and Liu Xie is just one person.

If the Shu thief really sent someone to pick up Liu Xie's return, and Liu Xie came forward to announce that Chan Rang was forced by Cao Pi back then, then the political and legal system of the Great Wei would be completely finished.

Although everyone in the world knows that Liu Xiex's concession is definitely not voluntary, sometimes as long as things are not explained, then everyone will turn a blind eye and default to Cao Wei is still orthodox in the world. Once it is said clearly, no matter how much you recognize the rule of Great Wei in your heart, you have to stand up and say that "Cao Wei is not righteous".

This is the value of this era, and if you want to mix in this era, you must abide by this set of rules.

The influence of this matter was too great, so Cao Rong definitely couldn't let Liu Xie continue to stay in Shanyang County, so he just took the opportunity of recalling Sima Zhao and asking about the war in Hanoi, so he asked Sima Zhao to go to Shanyang County and "invited" Liu Xie to Yecheng.

Well, it's more reassuring to put it under your nose and watch it.

As for Ji Han's side, Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Liu Xie now is quite subtle.

has been in Luoyang for more than two years, how could Zhuge Liang not know that the "Emperor Xiaomin" is staying in Shanyang County.

Can. In Ji Han, Liu Xie is the "Emperor of Filial Piety", a dead man.

And even if he is alive, he shouldn't be alive as the Duke of Dawei Shanyang, do you want to be a big man?!

Zhuge Liang is loyal to the Han family, but for Liu Xie, how much loyalty do you say. I really can't take it out.

Zhuge Liang can do his best to Ji Han and die, that is because "cover the special encounter of chasing the first emperor to repay His Majesty", this first emperor is talking about Liu Bei, not Liu Xie.

No matter how he thought about it, Zhuge Liang felt that welcoming back Liu Xie was a serious thing that would do more harm than good.

is back, what should I do with this "last son of heaven" of the Later Han Dynasty?!

Let Liu Chan give way today?!

The civil and military officials of the Ji Han and Manchu dynasties, which one would be willing to agree?!

Named the Emperor?!

Isn't that etiquette!!

The only advantage is probably that Cao Wei's foundation can be denied in terms of legal system, but the problem is that in the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei has always been a puppet regime that usurped the Han Dynasty and established itself, and the advantage of this is only a little effect on the big families in the Central Plains and even Hebei.

This effect is even limited. What kind of virtue are those big families, can Zhuge Liang not know?!

What they really care about is interests, even if they deny Cao Wei's legal system, they are just getting some verbal support from those big families.

To put it mildly, now that the Han has returned to Luoyang, if the Central Plains and Hebei are defeated again in the future, even without Liu Xie's endorsement, can't the Han be revived three times? !

Therefore, in fact, Zhuge Liang has always been secretly concerned about Liu Xie, but on the surface, he should not know the existence of this person.

And now, Cao Rong "invited" Liu Xie back to Yecheng, and Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, in the short term, there is no need to worry about this troublesome issue.

And now, the battle in Luoyang has subsided, and the Jiangling side has gradually stabilized, and Zhuge Liang has begun to think about the next plan.

And the next step. Zhuge Liang plans to go back to Chengdu.
