Countless soldiers withdrew towards the Xiliang Army's garrison. Sima Yi was stunned in place, looking at Huaili County with a somewhat complicated expression.
Unless he knew in advance that he was going to attack with fire, how could he not react?
Unwilling to do so, Sima Yi had to return to his base.
In the city, Hao Zhao and others were shocked after hearing the news and looked at the scene in the city.
Countless arrows landed on the roof, with a hint of burnt blackness at the arrowheads. These were obviously rockets fired into the city one after another.
The roof has long been covered with wet hay, so if the arrow lands on it, nothing will happen.
There are even many people who are completely unaware of what just happened.
Witnessing all this, Hao Zhao was extremely shocked.
"If it hadn't been for the emergency order issued by my lord during the day, I'm afraid there would have been a fire in Huaili County right now, right?"
Huang Zhong and others looked at the safe and sound city and fell into silence. Then they sighed and said, "How can we be able to see through such a great talent like our lord?"
They were so shocked that they were able to detect the enemy's movements first without even being on the battlefield in person.
Just relying on this ability makes them beyond words.
Not only that, the soldiers in the city also fell under the charm of their lord again.
"Thanks to my lord this time."
Countless people were moved with emotion.
From Chang'an, a man walked up in a hurry. He was dressed as a scholar, moved very quickly, and showed a hint of joy at the corner of his mouth.
"My lord, everything is fine in Huaili County!"
"Sima Yi designed five thousand long archers to approach the outside of the city and shoot tens of thousands of arrows but returned without success."
Looking at Guo Jia who was coming, Zhao Feng said with a smile: "Of course there can be nothing going on in Huaili County."
Since Sima Yi is beside Ma Teng, and Zhao Feng has always remembered this person, how could he not be on guard?
With Sima Yi's treachery, he would definitely use any means to set fire to the city at night without caring about the people in the city.
Guo Jia looked at Zhao Feng with admiration in his eyes.
"Thanks to my lord's foresight, Xiliang fell short and wasted so many arrows."
His original intention to join Cao Cao was that he was impressed by Zhao Feng's talent and wanted to learn from him, but now it seems there is still a lot of gaps.
Now that Zhao Feng is the king of Wei, it stands to reason that these counselors should be able to share his worries, but there is still a gap in their abilities.
At the most critical moment, Zhao Feng still has to step forward and take action himself.
Zhao Feng had long been accustomed to Guo Jia's look and waved his hand.
His ears were almost tired of hearing these compliments. He looked at Guo Jia and asked: "How is the situation of the 100,000-strong army now?"
Now Zhao Feng is most concerned about the 100,000 troops. As long as the Qiang people are successfully captured, Xiliang will inevitably be in chaos. The winning rate of this battle can be increased by at least 30%.
This was what he cared about most. Resisting the invasion of the Xiliang army was just an expected thing.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "A hundred thousand troops detoured from the north and were not caught by Xiliang at all. My lord, you can rest assured that it only takes three days to reach the Qiang tribe."
Only then did Zhao Feng nodded, with a glint in his eyes as if he had thought of something.
"By the way, Fengxiao, keep an eye on Soochow for me recently."
"Now that we are fighting with Xiliang, they are likely to make some small moves, such as raiding Jingzhou. This should not be underestimated."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "Haha, Soochow? Didn't the Lord's letter make them angry last time? Is it possible that they don't have a good memory this time?"
"Fengxiao will definitely look after Soochow for his lord!"
Then Zhao Feng waved his hand and said: "Go back, nothing happens."
At this time, a hundred thousand troops appeared in the north of Sizhou and were rushing towards the location of the Qiang people.
The 100,000-strong army had even left the confines of Sizhou.
The Qiang people have always had good relations with Xiliang, and their territories are adjacent to each other. The Qiang people are Xiliang's strongest backers, but at this moment they are completely unaware of the danger in the village.
A hundred thousand troops marched all night, and it only took three days to reach the Qiang people. By then, the Qiang people would be unable to fight back!
It is only a matter of time before Xiliang is recaptured.
Outside Huaili County, Xiliang tried to break through the city gate twice to no avail, but this did not stop Xiliang's determination to break the city at all.
The next day, the Xiliang army gathered again, and Ma Chao at the front did not yell in front of the formation this time.
From these few contacts, he had already known that his words would have no effect on the enemy generals guarding the city.
The Xiliang army launched another attack on Huaili County.
These news naturally spread to Chang'an.
Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia came to Zhao Feng's residence with feather fans in hand.
"My lord, Xiliang has not given up yet and launched another attack on Huaili County today."
Zhao Feng, on the other hand, buried his head and continued the movements in his hands without any change in his expression.
All of Xiliang's actions were within his expectations. He said lightly: "In their eyes, as long as my army has not arrived, they will attack."
"After all, there are only 20,000 people in Huaili County. For us, this is a trap for him, but for them, this is a huge opportunity, and naturally they will not give up."
Zhuge Liang nodded and asked with a hint of curiosity: "My lord, what are your plans in the future?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of countless footsteps, and Zhuge Liang showed a hint of curiosity as to who would be looking for his master at this time.
I saw a few familiar voices appearing in his eyes.
"General Bo Fu, why are you here?"
The arrival of these people undoubtedly surprised Zhuge Liang. Logically speaking, Sun Ce and others should be stationed in Jingzhou. Why are they coming to Changsha at this time?
Sun Ce and others who came forward bowed and said, "I have met my lord."
Looking at the surprised Zhuge Liang, Zhao Feng said lightly: "Kong Ming doesn't have to be surprised, I asked them to come here."
These words made Zhuge Liang even more confused.
"Lord, why did you ask them to come here?"
Sizhou now has a lot of hidden troops, so there is absolutely no need for Sun Ce and others to come.
Zhao Feng smiled faintly and said: "The Jinfan thief Gan Ning is still in prison in Chang'an. Naturally, this matter must be handed over to them."
Then he stood up and continued: "Kong Ming, please take them there. If you want to persuade Gan Xingba to surrender, I'm afraid I have to have Brother Bofu."
Zhao Feng had already made his words so straightforward, and Zhuge Liang obviously knew why Sun Ce came.
Today Gan Ning and Jin Fanying are still in prison. It would be too wasteful to ignore them.
Then, Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Yes, lord."
Then he stepped aside and looked at Sun Ce and others and said, "General Bo Fu, please come with me."
Before leaving, Sun Ce bowed once again and then followed Zhuge Liang.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand and tapped the table twice, and then someone walked out from one side of the room.
"My lord, do you have any plans?"
This person was Xiahou Dun, who bowed slightly to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng took out the letter he had just written next to him, looked at Xiahou Dun in front of him and said with a smile: "I have a prepared letter in my hand. You can give it to Fazheng and let him manage Yizhou."
