Jiang Wei led his army to run in Hangu, both nervous and uncontrollable excitement.
General Li Yan had been withstood for so long, but finally couldn't hold on anymore and was forced to withdraw his troops from Huguan and collapsed soon.
Although Sima Yi played a lot of role in it, in Jiang Wei's opinion, even if Sima Yi did not send troops, the result was inevitable. He thought that siege and not attacking under Huguan City could solve the problem?
Wrong, big mistake!
Li Yan must rely on Chang'an's food and weapons to support him, how could he continue to support him? After a few months, the court became impatient and went on a hard expedition. The crime of wasting countless money but not making any contributions would naturally fall.
On his head, even if he escaped unstoppable, he, the general, could not do anything more.
Sima Yi is not essential, his role is just to advance this time a little.
That's all.
Jiang Wei received a message from Li Yan's request for help on the way. He had a scout in Jinyang. As soon as Sima Yi left Jinyang, he knew it. But he didn't expect Sima Yi to be so crazy, and he actually marched for hundreds of miles.
.This caught him off guard. He rushed over so quickly because he was afraid that Li Yan would be eaten by Sima Yi in one bite.
If that is the case, it would be a bit unprofitable. If the five thousand sets of horse armor fall into Sima Yi's hands, it will not be a good thing for Shu Han and Jiang Wei. It may even affect the subsequent related plans.
Therefore, Jiang Wei must come to pick up Li Yan.
He did not plan to go to Jinyang. With Sima Yi's prudence, he could not have left enough troops to protect Jinyang. Jinyang is a must-fight for military strategists. The terrain is dangerous and without sufficient preparation, he would not be able to conquer Jinyang.
What's more, he only has ten thousand elite cavalry, and siege is not his strength.
But he could use the speed of the cavalry to quickly move towards Luoyang, and even seize the lead in Meng Da.
It took Jiang Wei only five days to arrive in Xin'an. He stopped in Xin'an and sent someone to inquire about the news.
The result surprised him very much. With Meng Da's support, Li Yan had just arrived in Hangu Guanxi and was rushing to Xin'an. Li Yan suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the losses, only more than 10,000 people left, and almost all the supplies were lost.
, it can be said that he returned home in a great defeat. However, the five thousand heavy armored cavalry are almost intact, but these heavy armored cavalry are not in Li Yan's hands now, but in Meng Da's hands.
After Meng Da completed the task of receiving the task, he had already returned to Yingchuan, including the five thousand heavy armored cavalry.
Jiang Wei was furious, and he rushed to Li Yan's camp and angrily accused Li Yan. Although Li Yan returned in a defeat, the general's majesty was even more powerful. He looked at Jiang Wei and said coldly: Although I
I don’t know how many days this general can be, but now I am still a general. Meng Da retreated was my order. How to arrange the five thousand cavalry is also my business. When will it be your turn, the prefect of Jincheng?
The Qiang Hunting School Captain pointed his fingers and said irrelevantly?
Jiang Wei woke up in shock. Only then did he realize that he had lost his composure. Li Yan had no hope and annoyed him at this time. If he killed Wang Ping like Wei Ba, he killed himself, even if the Prime Minister finally wrote about him,
Even after killing his head, he couldn't survive.
Without saying a word, Jiang Wei bowed to apologize, retreated, and then turned around and left the camp. Before Li Yan could breathe, he left with his cavalry like the wind.
At the same time, an emergency military newspaper was sent to Guanzhong with a fast horse.
...
Zhuge Liang sighed and was a little disappointed. Jiang Wei was too impulsive and almost lost his life. Li Yan was too self-righteous. He thought it was enough to hand over the five thousand heavy armored cavalry to Meng Da? Yes, he is still big now.
The general has the right to make such a decision, but he, the general, can't do it for a long time. He just waited to remove him from his position as a general and sent a military order to Nanyang. Can Meng Da protect the five thousand heavy armored cavalry?
Unless he wants to rebel. But with Zhuge Ke on his side, does he have the courage to rebel? Rebellion is not a trivial matter. Once the flag of the anti-bank is raised, there will be no turning back. Not to mention him, even the strongest Wei Ba, so far
Until then, I dare not confront the court clearly.
Zhuge Liang immediately wrote to the emperor that the general was defeated and the matter of the imperial commander personally was frustrated, which was not feasible. The emperor should stick to Guanzhong and wait for the opportunity, and at the same time rewarded and punished relevant personnel to stabilize the morale of the army.
The emperor only followed the Prime Minister's order, and sent an edict to Xin'an, and removed General Yan from his post on the spot, and rushed to Chang'an with light clothes and simplicity.
After receiving the edict and presenting the general's seal, Li Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and seemed a little relaxed.
"Boyuan, don't go to Chang'an with me. You go to Yingchuan and help Zidu."
Fa Miao remained unmoved: "What should I do with the general?"
"I was defeated, not surrendering to the enemy." Li Yan smiled: "At worst, I'll just demote me to a commoner. I don't think the prime minister would kill me and take my life. It's good that I have fought for so many years,
I can't even sleep well, and now I've lost all of my money and finally I can let go."
Fa Miao sighed: "General, you don't have to do this. It's too early to draw a conclusion now."
"For the world situation, it is indeed a bit too early to draw a conclusion now. However, for my father and son, the conclusion is already very obvious, so there is no need to wait any longer." Li Yan turned his head and looked at Fa Miao with a smile on his face.
There are both appreciation and ridicule: "You and I understand that now the only ones who are qualified to play are the Prime Minister and the General of Cheqi. We father and son are not worthy of participating in it. In the past, we just refused to admit defeat and tried our best to deal with it. After this defeat, I understand.
.It is my greatest sorrow to compete with people like them in the world."
Fa Miao didn't know what to say.
"If you have the chance, tell me my advice to General Cheqi and Cavalry." Li Yan said lightly: "He must live. If he lives, there will be a Wei family. If he dies, the Wei family will be nothing. I will be defeated this time,
Chang'an is already in the hands of the Prime Minister, Zhuge Dan is in Dongting, Zhuge Ke is in Yingchuan, and his subordinate Zhuge Wen, the Zhuge family has a deeper root than any of us. In comparison, the Wei family is
Destiny is tied to him alone.”
Fa Miao bowed slightly.
"You go to Yingchuan and help Zidu is also my condition. I hope that General Cheqi will show mercy when we have fought side by side."
"Please rest assured, General, I will definitely bring it." Fa Miao no longer covered up. Li Yan had already said so clearly, and it would become hypocrisy if he concealed it.
After saying goodbye to Fa Miao, Li Yan took a few trusted followers and rushed to Guanzhong with light clothes. The remnants were handed over to the governor Cheng Fan, who led him to retreat slowly.
Fa Miao caught up with Meng Da and immediately asked to see Lu Lan who was fighting with the army. Although Lu Xun had rested in illness, Lu Lan had been in the army and had more than 5,000 Lu family troops. This was the private power of the Lu family and was not controlled by Zhuge Ke.
He only listened to Lu Lan's command. In addition to those generals who were interested in Lu Xun, Lu Lan still had an indifferent influence in the army. Zhuge Ke has not been able to do anything to him so far.
Fa Miao knew that Wei Ba had a contact channel with the uncle and nephew of the Lu family, and it was safest to pass messages through this channel. He wanted to inform Wei Ba of the news of Li Yan's defeat and withdrawal from the court as quickly as possible.
...
Sima Yi walked into Luoyang City, bringing good news of victory to the emperor and the empress dowager, and also bringing spoils to war.
Two intact crossbow chariots, two intact thunder chariots, and several horse armors.
Ma Jun, who is about to be a master, will immediately break the research.
The emperor and the queen mother summoned Sima Yi and issued an edict to praise him. In this battle, Sima Yi rushed to the long distance with 25,000 people, forcing the Shu Han general Li Yan to withdraw his troops from Huguan, and pursued him along the way, killing more than 10,000 levels, obtaining countless supplies, and
The morale was boosted and the people stabilized. It was actually a city for the country. It immediately increased the rank of Sima, and was granted the title of Marquis of Jinyang, with a fief of 5,000 households. It was also given the seal of Sima Shilei and General Wei who died in battle.
Sima Yi led the imperial edict to thank him. He returned home with a brand new seal. As soon as he entered the door, he handed the seal to his follower and sighed.
Mrs. Zhang Chunhua stood in the hall with a cold face. When she saw Sima Yi, she shouted loudly: "Old thief, return my son to me!"
Sima Yi lowered his head and said nothing.
...
Wei Ba played the fingers and the thin strips of paper made a crisp sound.
Peng Xiaoyu hurriedly took it over and glanced sideways: "Is it burned or retained?"
"Save." Wei Ba said slowly: "These are history, and history should not be the little girls who can be smeared by others. Black is black, white is white. If a Taoist master uses these to criticize me, I will do it too
It doesn't matter."
"Your skin is thick enough." Peng Xiaoyu smiled while putting away the note: "But I don't think you care about the name behind you. I have done a lot of things that give people a handle."
"I am just a person, not a god, so how can I have nothing to say?" Wei Ba laughed: "Confucius also said that he was over 70 and did not exceed the rules. I was not even half of him alive.
When it comes, some people make mistakes when they are time. But those who are known as moral models, I think they live too frustrated. Not to mention anything else, look at the Prime Minister, he is obviously very wealthy and is enough for the whole family to have a wealth of clothes and food.
But in order not to let others catch the attack, he must have his whole family dressed and eaten sparsely, like an ascetic monk. Why bother to come..."
"Ascenary monk?" Peng Xiaoyu was puzzled: "Is it a cultivator in India?"
"You know, too?"
"Well, I heard Huiyu talk about similar people, I think it should be the same." Peng Xiaoyu said: "By the way, when will you marry Weiyu?"
"What are you talking about? The Yang family is a great clan of Mount Tai. Can she be a concubine? Besides, his father is still an official in Wei State, and he seems to be the prefect of Shangdang..."
"I was dismissed not long ago and have returned to my hometown."
Wei Ba was stunned: "When did it happen?"
"Two days ago, Yangfa mentioned it in his letter from his family." Peng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Yang Fei is indeed a little unhappy with his daughter as a concubine, but Mrs. Cai insisted that it is OK."
Wei Ba said to him: "This matter...you guys discuss it first. I have no objection, I just suffer a little. That girl is not a good-looking lamp."
