After confirming that the Wei army retreated, Ma Qiu and Pang Hui did not continue to pursue, but quickly retreated to the camp to prevent Sima Yi from taking the opportunity to steal the camp.

Liu Yi's attitude towards Sima Yi is to lose first before he can win, and consider the worst result. For example, this time Wei Yan decided to use Sima Yi to dig out tunnels and induce ambush, and Liu Yi started with the worst result.

Facts have proved that Liu Yi's approach is right. Facing Sima Yi, at least for Liu Yi, you must not imagine being able to plot against others. It is okay to prepare for the worst result.

"Governor!" After Wei Yan handed over the matter of cleaning up the battlefield to Deng Ai, he found Liu Yi with a depressed look on his face and bowed, "I am guilty of being a crime, please punish the governor."

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "Sima Yi is an old fox. It is normal for him to be plotted against. If you blame him for this, then my subordinates will soon be left without anyone, and even I will be dealt with by military law! Get up, remember, be careful with Sima Yi. Before you can win, you must first lose. There is no luck."

In the past, Wei Yan felt that Liu Yi was so afraid of Sima Yi, which was a bit too much. But today, Wei Yan had seen that what is authentic, stealing the camp was simply Sima Yi's bait. He silently bowed to Liu Yi and said, "I understand."

"You're the long-term literary man." Liu Yi helped Wei Yan up and said with a smile: "If it comes to leading troops to fight, I'm not as good as you."

"The governor is too humble. The governor has always been invincible, and the last general is far inferior to that." Wei Yan hurriedly bowed.

"I have self-knowledge and can win invincible. It's never how powerful I am in leading troops." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled, "But there is one thing, you are indeed not as good as me."

"Please give me advice," Wei Yan bowed.

"You have read a lot of military books. What is the core thing in the art of military art?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yan and asked.

"This..." Wei Yan felt that this thing was very simple when he heard this. He was about to speak, but he was suddenly stunned. Yes, what is the core of military strategy?

Arrangements and formations should be considered a basic course. Perhaps the level is high and low, but most generals can do well in formations and formations. If they don’t even know this, they are not considered a general at all.

The deeper level is that the enemy plane has changed, and this is hard to say that it is the core.

"Emotions." Liu Yi patted Wei Yan's shoulder and said, "Wen Chang, have you ever lost a battle?"

"Of course I fought." Wei Yan was not embarrassed to hear this. He had been fighting for more than 20 years since he joined Liu Bei. There were basically no one in this world who could win every battle like Liu Yi.

"Put aside the strength of the enemy and me, I will tell you a few situations, you must be familiar with it." Liu Yi looked at Wei Yan and said, "When you are angry, you will probably be defeated."

Wei Yan nodded when he heard this and said nothing.

Liu Yi continued: "In addition, when you are happy, such as just winning the enemy, or feeling that your opponent is far inferior to you, you think it is easy to defeat the opponent. At this time, I won't say everything, but most of the battles you defeat with the advantage come from this."

Wei Yan looked at Liu Yi after hearing this, opened his mouth, then sighed, and nodded silently. Even when facing an opponent like Cao Cao, Wei Yan had never lost, but the few defeats he had suffered came from enemies far inferior to him.

In fact, there are also summaries of these in military tactics, but it is just one thing to understand, but it is another thing to be able to do it.

"So, if I can let your emotions be controlled by me, it will be easier to defeat you?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yan and asked with a smile.

"This..." Wei Yan looked at Liu Yi and said, "Impossible?"

"Think about your mood of deciding to make the decision." After patting Wei Yan's shoulder, Liu Yi shook his head and said, "Remember, when facing an enemy like Sima Yi, be upright, don't be lucky. As for what you say, "No courage... that means to others, we are the commander, and what we want is to win. As for whether the winning is glorious, it doesn't matter."

Is Xiahou Yuan frustrated? Is Cao Hong frustrated? Is Zhang He, Cao Ren, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen frustrated? They are heroes, but how many people still remember them now?

"I will receive the teachings in the end!" Wei Yan bowed and said.

"I'm just telling you that there is a reason for me not to move. As for whether I'm taught, that's your business. If you were young and passionate and impulsive twenty years ago, I could understand, but at this age, you should be more enlarged and be able to calm down. Or if you can live to the age of Mr. Hansheng, I will never say a word." Liu Yi patted Wei Yan's shoulder and smiled.

Huang Zhong is now considered the mascot of the great man. The old man who is almost a hundred years old has a twenty-year-old son. The progress bar of his life is really long.

After thinking about it, Huang Zhong hadn't seen each other for several years. Wei Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "I heard that General Han Sheng's temper has grown older over the years."

"It's normal. The veteran general has been in his life. In his later years, the court will fight, but he doesn't need him. It would be strange if he has a good temper." Liu Yi understood this more. After all, Huang Zhong fought a war for a lifetime. I heard that he had specially found Cen Yuanliang to build a military camp at home. He would definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Before going to the expedition, the old general wrote a letter to me, hoping that I could help him ask His Majesty for his war." Wei Yan sighed.

This is impossible to answer. After all, at the age of the old man, if he really goes to the battlefield and is inspired by someone in front of the formation, he will not be angry and burp. That will affect the three armies. This is not a joke.

"I received it too." Liu Yi sighed. Huang Zhong was his old subordinate. Liu Yi personally surrendered him. Of course, there was a relationship. Huang Zhong asked Liu Yi to help him discipline Huang Rong, but Liu Yi agreed without saying a word. Over the years, Huang Rong, a playboy, was disciplined by Liu Yi and became a famous general in the Western Regions. However, Huang Zhong himself wanted to join him, but Liu Yi could not accept it.

It is not just because of Wei Yan's concern, but mainly because the older generation of generals had to give way to the young people. The Han Dynasty has been constantly enthusiastic over the years, and the older generation of generals have now begun to gradually retreat to the second line.

Even if Zhao Yun had not been guarding the Western Regions for many years, his prestige would have been no one to replace for a while, he might have been gradually recalled to the court.

The two talked about military tactics, but before they knew it, they were touched by Huang Zhong, and then began to recall the past years. When Liu Yi showed his strength and swept across Jingnan, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong were sent to Liu Bei's command together. They were also the first batch of talents recommended by Liu Yi. In the past 20 or 30 years, there were basically few opportunities to meet, and they often exchange letters.

Now Huang Zhong is over 90 years old, and Liu Yi and Wei Yan are no longer young. Now they get together, and they can't help but start to recall the past. At that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still alive. Although Liu Bei's power is not big, he often meets. He is very happy. Now that his territory is large, his former friends rarely get together again. Now they are even more dead one after another. I don't know when it will be his turn.

This was said for a whole morning, and it was not until Deng Ai came to report that the topic was brought back.

"That's all, you and I are not young anymore. Some things need to be understood. When fighting, as long as we can calm down and keep the rear, we will win half of it." Liu Yi sighed while looking through the records sent by Deng Ai: "Our soldiers from the great man have to go through three years of training. It's not that we can't fight, but if we can avoid fighting like today, just look at the casualties."

Strictly speaking, this battle is not considered a loss. The Wei army suffered more casualties than the Han army on both sides. But in most cases, not to mention that the casualties between the two sides are similar, on the front battlefield, the Han army fought against the Wei army, and the enemy's casualties were not more than twice as much as their own, which was considered a loss. Moreover, under normal circumstances, the Han army's bows and arrows would not allow the Wei army to come and fight in close combat with them intact. Therefore, although the Wei army did not succeed in this battle last night, in Liu Yi's eyes, this was a defeat!

Otherwise, why are the weapons created by Tiangongfang every year?

"What the governor taught me is." Wei Yan nodded, and his mentality became calmer at this moment.

"Don't take the victory or defeat too seriously. Keep your mind calm, especially when you meet someone who is stronger than you. No one in this world dares to say that you are invincible in the world." Liu Yi returned the document sent by Deng Ai to Deng Ai and said: "Continue to build a camp and see what methods Sima Yi has!"

If you continue to fight according to this battle loss ratio, the Han army will lose in the end. Liu Yi would not dare to take this risk. So the next strategy is to defend, defend to the death, and make sure that it is not leaking, and then advance step by step. Build the arrow tower outside Yanjin City. Taking advantage of the range advantage, Sima Yi had to withdraw from Yanjin!

Liu Yi felt that this method was the best way to defeat the enemy.

"Here!" Wei Yan and Deng Ai nodded and agreed.

"Don't think about how to defeat the enemy. If you were Sima Yi, how to defeat our army and make corresponding arrangements!" Liu Yi looked at the two of them and smiled: "Now we have the advantage, so you must not underestimate the enemy at this time."

"What the governor said is very much, and I will know it." Wei Yan and Deng Ai bowed quickly.

On the other hand, after the result of a night battle, the number of casualties in the army made Sima Yi's generals unable to help but be amazed.

The plan was obviously successful, but in the end, so many people were still lost.

Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi with a wry smile: "Father, are we the winner?"

"Of course!" Sima Yi sighed: "You know that Cao Shuang and Pang Tong confront each other, the casualties were three times that of the Han army. It was not easy for us to tie the country."

"Taiwei!" Guo Huai smiled bitterly: "Last night, it was all based on the Taiwei's clever calculations, which made it difficult for the Han army's bows and arrows to play. But if we really fight, we may not have much mistakes between our army and the general's troops."
