Chapter 235: Afterhand
When Sima Yi heard Mrs. Liu's words, his face did not change, and he respectfully clenched his fists and said: "Our Sima family in Hanoi has always been a loyal subject of the Han Dynasty. β
Feng Ji snorted coldly: "Demons confuse the public, grandstanding!" β
Mrs. Liu glanced at Feng Ji, who closed his mouth unwillingly.
Mrs. Liu looked at Sima Yi and frowned slightly, "Sima Yi, what do you mean by this?" Is the Han court in danger? Where does this begin? β
Sima Yi hugged his fists and said: "Wang Kuang rebelled, led the army to attack Pingxian, and tried to threaten Luoyang. β¦β¦β
Feng Ji sneered: "So what? Although Wang Kuang is ambitious, but the elite of our army holds Pingxian, it is impossible for him to succeed at all. When General Chun Yuqiong led his army back to Luoyang, he Wang Kuang had no choice but to retreat to Hanoi. β
Sima Yi said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "What Mr. said is extremely true.
But I don't know that there is a place called Red Pine Cliff 30 miles upstream of Pingxian, which used to be a ferry a hundred years ago, because the river is not wide and the water flow has become gentle, so it is very suitable for erecting a pontoon bridge. β¦β¦β
When Mrs. Liu and Feng Ji heard this, their faces changed slightly.
Sima Yi continued: "According to the information that my Sima family got before, Wang Kuang knows that place. If Wang Kuang had sent people to erect a pontoon bridge over the Red Pine Cliff to smuggle across, he would have been able to cross the Yellow River in one day. β
Mrs. Liu immediately shouted, "Someone! β
The officer guarding the entrance immediately came in, clasped his fists at Mrs. Liu and said, "What do you have to say, Madame?" β
"Immediately order Lu Xiang to come and see you."
Later that day, LΓΌ Xiang led 2,000 men and horses to leave Luoyang in a hurry and rushed to the Red Pine Cliff in Sima Yi's mouth. However, that night, they hurried back to Luoyang.
Lu Xiang came to Mrs. Liu and reported urgently; "Mrs. Qiyu, no, an elite team under Wang Kuang has crossed the Yellow River from the Red Pine Cliff! So the last general had to hurry back and report to his wife! β
Mrs. Liu's face changed. After thinking for a while, he turned his head and shouted to a herald beside him: "You immediately rush to Pingxian County, and order the two generals Jiang Qi and Lu Kuang to immediately lead their men and horses back to Luoyang." β
The herald clenched his fists and hurried away.
Mrs. Liu looked at Sima Yi, who was frowning, and sighed: "I didn't expect everything to be said by Mr. What a clever sir! β
Sima Yi hugged his fists and said: "I hope I didn't say it." β
Mrs. Liu asked hopefully, "Sir, Wang Kuang has crossed the Yellow River. I wonder what we should do now? β
Sima Yi glanced at Mrs. Liu and Feng Ji, smiled and hugged his fist at Mrs. Liu and said: "Now that Luoyang's troops are empty, even if General Chun Yuqiong's army is rushed back, there are only 30,000 horses, and Wang Kuang's crossing of the Yellow River is simply a catastrophe for Luoyang!"
However, looking at Madame, you don't seem to be very anxious, and it seems that there is a backhand? β
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled; "Sir is so clever that he can guess this from our reactions." Then he nodded and said, "Sir guessed right." Sir may not know that the Montenegrin Army has already surrendered to the Prime Minister. β¦β¦β
Sima Yi suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I said why did the prime minister dare to lead the main force into Jizhou, it turned out that he had already subdued the Montenegrin army. β
The Montenegrin Army mentioned here is a huge force entrenched in the southern part of the Taihang Mountains. As mentioned above, this army is actually a force formed by the retreat of the defeated Yellow Turban Army to the Taihang Mountains.
This force has become stronger and stronger over the years, with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans retreating into the Taihang Mountains and the addition of displaced people.
The leader is Zhang Niujiao, who appeared above, and Zhang Yan, who has not yet appeared. It is known as a million people, but the so-called millions, most of them are people who cannot fight, such as family members and the old and weak, and the real strength is probably more than 100,000 or 200,000.
Mrs. Liu said: "This force, the prime minister originally planned to use it as a surprise soldier to raid Gongsun Zhan's flank. But now that Luoyang is in danger, I will call this force to solve the current crisis first. β
Sima Yi hugged his fists; "I don't know if Madame has thought about it,
Since the Montenegrin army has already surrendered to the prime minister, why did Wang Kuang dare to leave Hanoi County to raid Luoyang? Isn't he afraid that the Montenegrin army will raid the lair, and then besiege and annihilate them with his wife? β
Mrs. Liu and Feng Ji thought of this question and were stunned for a moment. Mrs. Liu frowned and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?" β
Sima Yi clenched his fists and said, "I think there may be something wrong with the Montenegrin Army." β¦β¦β
When Mrs. Liu and Feng Ji heard this, their faces changed, and Feng Ji shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan's favorite son are both in Luoyang, how could they have different intentions? β
When Sima Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be puzzled, frowned, and looked thoughtful.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Sima Yi and said with a smile; "Sir, don't worry. I'm sure the Montenegrin army is fine. Sir has also made a great contribution this time, and I will definitely protect Mr. in front of the Prime Minister. β
Sima Yi came back to his senses, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, madam!" β
Mrs. Liu said to an officer standing beside her, "Take Mr. to the post house to rest." The officer clenched his fists and promised, and came forward to ask Sima Yi. Sima Yi saluted Mrs. Liu and followed the officer down.
Feng Ji glanced at Sima Yi's back, smiled coldly, and said to Mrs. Liu: "He really dares to say anything!" β
Mrs. Liu said: "He doesn't know the situation, and it's normal to have this suspicion." Then he frowned and asked, "Sir, you say, is it possible for Sima Yi to say?" β
Feng Ji hugged his fists and said: "It's impossible!" Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan's favorite sons are both in Luoyang, how can they have different hearts? As for why Wang Kuang dared to move, it was nothing more than because Wang Kuang did not know that the Black Mountain Army had surrendered to the prime minister. β
Mrs. Liu nodded, smiled, and then said to Feng Ji: "Immediately send a flying pigeon to Xun Cheng, asking him to immediately order the Montenegrin Army to mobilize the whole army to support Luoyang, and at the same time report the situation to the prime minister." β
Xun Cheng in Mrs. Liu's mouth is the master of Houdexuan, Mrs. Liu's cronies, and now this Xun Cheng is staying in the Montenegrin Army as a liaison officer.
The flying pigeon biography was issued, and only half a day later, Xun Cheng, who was far away on Taihang Mountain, received it.
This Xun Cheng is dressed in a Confucian shirt, and his appearance and temperament are like scholars. After reading the flying pigeon biography sent by Mrs. Liu, his face changed slightly, and he immediately left his residence and ran towards the cottage hall.
At this time, the entire cottage was a busy scene, and the various units of the Montenegrin Army were in a hurry to assemble.
Xun Cheng rushed into the Juyi Hall, saw Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan, and immediately stepped forward to worship: "Two generals! ......" Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan returned to Yuan Shao and were canonized to the position of general, so Xun Cheng called them generals.
