When Xiahou Ba came back, he was completely in a state of dismay. His clothes were changed into personal guards' outfits, but his whole body was not in good spirits.

"Zhongquan?" Sima Yi looked at Xiahou Ba and frowned, "What happened?"

Xiahou Ba said silently, bowed to Sima Yi and said, "The last general is incompetent and cannot anger Liu Yi. Please punish the Grand Marshal."

Sima Zhao wanted to ask, but was stopped by Sima Yi. He smiled and looked at Xiahou Badao: "Zhongquan has been traveling around these days, and must be quite tired. Let's go down and rest first to break the Han army's affairs. Let's talk about it later."

"Here!" Xiahou Ba bowed again, "I will leave!"

After saying that, he ignored the others and turned around and left.

"Father, what's the point?" Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yi in confusion.

"There is no need to ask about this matter anymore, and you are not allowed to inquire with others. In addition, those who came back with Zhongquan gather together..." After thinking about it, Sima Yi looked at Sima Zhao and said, "Execute him secretly!"

"This..." Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yi in confusion.

"You are not allowed to ask again. Nothing happened. It was just that negotiations with the Han army failed." Sima Yi stood up and waved his hand.

"Here!" Sima Zhao and Sima Shi bowed and bowed, and saw that Sima Yi had no other instructions, he said goodbye and left.

"Brother, what happened to Xiahou Ba in the Han army camp?" Sima Zhao couldn't help but ask curiously after leaving Sima Yishen's tent.

"Since my father said, don't ask more questions, then don't ask about this matter again, and do what my father said." Sima Shi glanced at his brother helplessly. The biggest disadvantage of smart people is that they have this strong desire for knowledge, and Sima Zhao obviously cannot suppress this desire for knowledge, which will often lead to bad things.

"Those personal guards..." Sima Zhao hesitated a little.

"Listen to my father, kill me!" Sima Shi glanced at Sima Zhao and said.

Sima Zhao looked at his brother's back and felt a little dazed. At that moment, his brother gave him a little like his father.

At this moment, Sima Zhao no longer hesitated and took the personal guards out of the camp in the name of patrol. He secretly informed Guo Huai, who was stationed in Wen County, to secretly bring out a group of people and kill all of these personal guards!

When Sima Zhao returned to the camp, Sima Yi was discussing countermeasures with Sima Shi. Sima Zhao stepped forward and said, "Father, the matter has been completed."

"Yes." Sima Yi nodded and sighed, "It's not easy for Liu Yi to break him in a short time. However, the war in the Central Plains is tight, and it's difficult for the court to go forward to reinforce in a short time. I discussed with your brother and prepared to join forces with the Eastern Wu, attack Pang Tong from the rear, and disturb his rear, so that Pang Tong could not fight the general with all his strength."

"Sunming Wu?" Sima Zhao frowned and looked at Sima Yi and said, "Sunming Wu is a pseudo-Han country. How could they send troops to help us?"

"The Eastern Wu was a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, which was actually forced by the situation. Now that the Han Dynasty is strong, the Eastern Wu is more uneasy, let alone seize the hatred of the three counties. Although the Eastern Wu was forced to surrender due to the power of the pseudo-Han, he probably wanted to see the decline of the pseudo-Han more than we did!" Sima Yi smiled.

"Sir, you go to Danyang in person to discuss this matter with Sun Quan. If the Wei Dynasty was defeated in this battle, Jiangdong would have lost the Yangtze River barrier. How could he be lucky?"

"Here!" Sima Zhao nodded and bowed to Sima Yi, "I wonder when the child will set off?"

"The faster the better, it's better to set off today. This matter cannot be delayed!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice.

Sima Yi was not afraid of how amazing his opponent was, but what he was most afraid of was this kind of opponent who could calm down. Among the Han ministers, he would rather face Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang than Liu Yi. It was not because of how powerful the other party was, but because he was too calm down. This was a disadvantage, but also an advantage. At least at present, Liu Yi's choice to stick to the camp was the most correct choice. The Han Dynasty could consume it, but the Wei State could not. Not to mention anything else, the supply line established by Liu Yi alone could reduce the consumption of the Han Dynasty in this war by ten times.

"Here!" Sima Zhao nodded and said goodbye and left.

"Father, will Jiangdong really send troops?" Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi and said.

"Yes, this time it's not just us who want him to send troops, but Pang Tong also has this idea!" Sima Yi nodded.

"Pang Tong!?" Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi incredibly.

"Yes." Sima Yi said with a little worry on his face: "From the beginning, Pang Tong had this idea. Otherwise, if he gathered troops to attack, how could Cao Shuang stop it?"

"You mean that he deliberately sold this flaw and asked Jiangdong to attack?" Sima Shi frowned.

"That's the case." Sima Yi nodded and said, "This time the pseudo-Han obviously wanted to decide the world with one battle. I'm afraid that Jingzhou has already stationed a naval army. As long as Sun Quan sends troops, the Jingxiang naval army will go down the river!"

"The Han army still has the strength?" Sima Shi said bitterly. This is a powerful rival to the two countries. Although Jiangdong was greatly damaged by the Han Dynasty, he still had strength. Where did the Han Dynasty get the confidence that after the full battle with the Wei Dynasty, he would also involve the Eastern Wu.

"Of course there is." Sima Yi sighed quietly: "This battle is related to the fortunes of the world, so you should not underestimate the enemy."

"Father." Sima Shi suddenly looked at Sima Yi and said, "Can you make a fuss on the pseudo-Han court?"

"Liu Chan is not a mediocre leader, especially this battle is related to the world, let alone Zhuge Liang in the rear to manage the government?" Speaking of this, Sima Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There are so many talents in the Han Dynasty!"

The older generation of Liu Yi, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Cui Zhouping were enough to make people breathless. Among the younger generation, Liu Cheng's performance in this battle surprised Sima Yi. Even though the Han army was well-equipped, Cao Shuang was still able to fight against four times the strength of the troops. In terms of military strategy, Liu Cheng was probably far superior to his father, and Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, as well as the commander-in-chief.

The Han Dynasty was full of talents, but after the death of the older generation of figures in the Great Wei Dynasty, there are now many empty talkers, but not many are truly capable. If this continues, even if the battle is won, the longer the gap between the Wei Dynasty and the Great Han Dynasty will be wider. This taste is not pleasant!

But at the moment, Sima Yi can't care about the long-term. Only by winning this battle can we think about the future of the Great Wei Dynasty. If we lose this battle, everything will be over.

Sima Shiran, there is nothing to say about this.

...

"Governor, the Wei army did not move!" On the other side, in the Han army camp, Wei Yan came in from outside the door and said to Liu Yi.

"As expected." Liu Yi nodded. Sima Yi had the same concepts as himself in some aspects. Unless he was confident enough, he would never take action, even if he wasted opportunities.

Liu Yi was able to confirm that Sima Yi was digging a pit for himself, but Liu Yi didn't know what pit it was, so he wouldn't move.

"Governor, we're just consuming it like this?" Jiang Wei bowed to Liu Yi and asked.

"It won't be too long!" Liu Yi nodded and said, "We can afford it, but Sima Yi can't afford it, or the Wei Dynasty cannot afford it. Sima Yi is not as talented as Kong Ming and Shiyuan. If we really fight, I will not be the enemy. Therefore, the key to this battle is in the Central Plains, not here. If we are not defeated, we will win!"

At least half of the Wei Dynasty's troops were restrained and dared not move lightly. In addition, Sima Yi and a large number of elite generals of Cao Wei, how could he do this? So what if he stayed here for a few months? The fight and killing is the most boring thing.

Having said that, both Wei Yan, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei came with the mentality of making contributions. Wei Yan and others were obviously a little resistant to Liu Yi's playing style, but the military orders were as high as a mountain. Since Liu Yi had already set a strategy, no one else could refute it.

Liu Yi and Sima Yi confronted each other across the river. Wars were raging in the Central Plains, but the land of Heluo was quite peaceful. If it were not for the large armies of both sides gathered here, it would have made people wonder if there was a war here.

As the head coach, Liu Yi and Sima Yi were quite leisurely during this period. Sima Yi raised insects and birds when he was fine, while Liu Yi began to build factories in the mines in Luoyang to produce cement, silk and so on.

Even Xiahou Ba, who had been here to show off his power all day, has been silent these days and no one has been seen, which makes Liu Yi wonder if he is too ruthless and makes the child autistic.

"Governor!" On this day, Liu Yi continued to hand over the camp to Wei Yan, Deng Ai and others to guard it. He went out to inspect the factory and provide some work guidance, but saw Jiang Wei coming with the dusty Ma Qiu.

"Are you back?" Liu Yi looked at Ma Qiu and asked with a smile: "Is there any gain?"

"Yes!" Ma Qiu nodded and bowed to Liu Yi and said, "The last general has found the dam of the Wei army."

"Why have you been looking for it for so long? Where is the dam built?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.

"When I go back to the governor, the dam is built a hundred miles downstream of Pubanjin. There is flat land on the other side, but there are endless mountains here, so I have never noticed it." Ma Qiu bowed and said.

"But the water has been let go, what's the use of finding the dam now?" Liu Yi shook his head and secretly admired his alertness.

"Only one dam is placed, and another one has not been released!" Ma Qiu bowed to Liu Yi and said, "I don't know what the dam is for."

"There is another one?" Liu Yi's eyes sterned when he heard this and looked at Ma Qiu and said.

"Yes!" Ma Qiu nodded.

"Take me to see!" Liu Yi said in a deep voice.

"Here!" Ma Qiu nodded.

Jiang Wei, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said: "Governor, you are the commander of the three armies, how can you leave without permission?"

"This matter is of great importance. I must go in person. You ordered someone to notify Wei Yan that I will stay for a few days. I have not been able to go out to fight without permission. In addition, you can choose 500 elite soldiers and follow me. Remember, you need elite soldiers and wear vine armor!" Liu Yi said with a serious face.
