"The governor succeeded!" Deng Ai looked at the Wei army who suddenly retreated, put away the telescope, but there was not much joy on his face. This was originally an excellent opportunity, but now, he was even more worried about whether Liu Yi could withdraw his troops in time.

"General, General Wei is asking you to discuss matters!" A Wei Yan's personal guard came to the bottom of the watchtower and shouted to Deng Ai above.

"Yes." Deng Ai nodded, got down from the watchtower, and followed the other party towards the camp.

Li Yan was there too, but Deng Ai ignored him and just knelt on his seat and said to Li Yan: "General is looking for me?"

"Yeah." Wei Yan nodded and said, "The governor sent someone to send a message. He has known everything about it. Yecheng has been broken. However, because our army cannot restrain Sima Yi, the governor had no choice but to withdraw his troops back to Huguan yesterday."

"I have seen the Wei army retreat just now, and I think I have received the news." Deng Ai nodded, a little regretful, but it is not easy to blame Li Yan at the moment. After all, he and Wei Yan were actually a little confused by victory, and did not dissuade Li Yan.

"The governor will come back soon." Wei Yan looked at Li Yan and Deng Ai and said, "In addition to pacifying the morale of the army, the governor also ordered me to lead 30,000 troops south to cut off the Caoshuang food route. After I leave, before the governor comes back, the army here will be presided over by Shi Zai."

Li Yan didn't want to speak, after all, he was embarrassed, but he couldn't help but say, "Our military has experienced a defeat, and there are not many soldiers. If we divide the troops at this time, how can we still fight against Sima Yi?"

Liu Yi sent troops this time, with a total force of 150,000. Jiang Wei took away 10,000 troops. On the battlefield before, more than 40,000 people were killed in battle and captured in Liyang. In fact, Hanoi's troops, plus the troops brought back by Liu Yi, were less than 100,000. If 30,000 troops were distributed, and only 70,000 troops were left, how could he fight back?

"The fighter plane in the north has been lost, and it is difficult to break through urgently. The governor's intention is to first help the right prime minister solve the war in the Central Plains, and then the two sides join forces to attack Jizhou together!" Deng Ai glanced at Li Yan and frowned.

Although he was defeated, Li Yan was not an incompetent person. Why didn’t he even understand such a simple truth?

"Yes, Cao Wei is in turmoil at the moment. If our army attacks Jizhou again, the Wei army will inevitably rise up and resist. It is better to attack the Central Plains before this." Wei Yan stood up and said, "No need to delay, I will send troops."

"General, go slowly!" Deng Ai nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Wei Yan prepared his troops and, early the next morning, crossed the river to Chenggao, came out of Chenggao, and went straight to Xingyang.

...

Chang'an, the palace.

"Huang Hao, what's the point of being so serious?" Liu Chan looked at Huang Hao with a serious look on his face in surprise. He was in a good mood recently. Although Li Yan and Huang's defeat were a bit annoying, Liu Yi followed and directly broke through Yecheng, forcing the Wei Dynasty court to flee in a panic, which really boosted morale.

Obviously, Liu Yi's plan was successful. Unfortunately, Li Yan's misunderstanding made Liu Chan helpless, but he never thought about curing Li Yan's crime. After all, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. Although Li Yan was defeated miserably, it can only be said that he was not capable enough, so he could just withdraw. In terms of ability, Li Yan is good at governing the local government or senating the government.

Although it was a bit regretful, but now that things have come to this, Liu Chan could only send someone to comfort him. He may be in a good mood recently and has sex a lot, so he didn't dare to go back. He was so palace that he wanted to relax here, but Huang Hao suddenly showed off his face like this, which made Liu Chan feel a little disgusted. His face was really not suitable for this expression.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Hao bowed to Liu Chan and said, "I am guilty."

"Oh?" Liu Chan glanced at Huang Hao, continued to tease his bird, and said casually: "Tell me, who else did you mess with?"

"Sikong." Huang Hao smiled bitterly.

"Ah?" Liu Chan was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Huang Hao and said, "Sikong is far away in Huguan. You want to provoke others. You can only have the skills to deal with you. You won't provoke Liu Cheng, right?"

"How dare I?" Huang Hao's mouth twitched. He would rather provoke Liu Yi than provoke any of her daughters. At most, Liu Yi would slap him. But if he provokes Liu Cheng, then if Liu Yi doesn't say that Liu Yi would jump out at the same time, Liu Chan would deal with him.

"Sikong is now fighting for the country abroad. I don't want to hear any rumors about the frontline soldiers anymore." Liu Chan glanced at Huang Hao and said calmly.

"I understand, but this time really has nothing to do with me." Huang Hao cried and took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms and handed them to Liu Chan, saying: "Yesterday General Li Yan suddenly sent someone to send this. If I do as stated in the bamboo slips, I am afraid that I will offend Sikong."

Huang Hao felt relieved in his heart. After receiving Li Yan's letter, he made preparations and ran to Liu Chan with the bamboo slips to explore Liu Chan's words. If Liu Chan still trusts Liu Yi as before, he would sell Li Yan directly. But if Liu Chan had any suspicion about Liu Yi, it would be another remark.

When Liu Chan heard this, he frowned and took the bamboo slips, opened the bamboo slips, looked at the contents on the bamboo slips, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"Ha~" After a while, Liu Chan threw the bamboo slips directly on the ground, shook his head and sighed: "What an old minister from two dynasties. At this time, he didn't want to reimburse the country, but he wanted to frame the general. But I'm even more curious, why did Li Yan look for you?"

At the end, Liu Chan looked at Huang Hao with a smile.

Huang Hao's face turned pale and he kowtowed quickly, "I don't know, Your Majesty should know, then Li Yanxiang can't afford to see me."

Liu Chan glanced at Huang Hao, shook his head and said, "Get up."

I didn't really want to deal with Huang Hao. A monarch needs loyal ministers and capable ministers to govern the world for him, but he also needs treacherous ministers. Not only does it balance the power in the court, but the most important thing is that at the critical moment, the treacherous ministers can help him take the blame, killing treacherous ministers can also calm the public's anger. In short, treacherous ministers have a lot of roles, and treacherous ministers are generally more likable than loyal ministers. The emperor is also a human being and likes to listen to good words. Huang Hao used it very easily and has not considered changing people yet, so he just clicked a little.

"Here~" Huang Hao responded, and when he stood up carefully, he found that his back was wet with cold sweat.

"What do you think Li Yan should do?" Liu Chan continued to tease the bird and said carelessly.

"I don't know!" Huang Hao didn't dare to say more at this moment.

"You can know." Liu Chan teased the bird and said with a smile: "I'm sure you know."

Huang Hao's eyelids twitched wildly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I think that now the army is fighting, Li Yan underestimates the enemy and advances rashly. He is already guilty and does not want to repent. Instead, he intends to bribe the servants and frame Sikong, and should be punished seriously."

He didn't have a deep friendship with Li Yan, but Li Yan had his handle. Now that he sent someone to ask for help, Huang Hao had to help, but if he wanted to lose his future and even his life, it would be impossible. Moreover, Li Yan's handle was always a thorn in Huang Hao's heart. Since he couldn't help him, he would take this opportunity to kill Li Yan to death.

Of course, Huang Hao could not directly say that Li Yan was executed. After all, Li Yan was also an important official in the court. With Liu Chan's personality, even if he had to deal with Li Yan, he would not be able to make a decision, a eunuch.

"You are smart." Liu Chan looked at the bird jumping happily in the bird cage: "Go and inform the court officials. I need to discuss with the court officials how to deal with Li Yan."

No matter what, Li Yan is also an important official of the Han Dynasty. It is impossible to make a hasty decision on what to do. Liu Chan needs to discuss with the ministers.

"Here!" Huang Hao bowed and agreed, preparing to summon the ministers.

"At that time, you go to Huguan to pass the imperial edict and hand over this bamboo slip to Sikong." Liu Chan did not turn around, teasing the birds while talking casually.

When Huang Hao heard this, he glanced at the bamboo slips on the ground, bowed to the promise, picked up the bamboo slips and walked out of the palace.

...

Liu Yi did not rush to return to Hanoi. He received a letter from Deng Ai. Sima Yi had withdrawn his troops and returned to Yecheng to preside over the government and could not come back in a short period of time. Liu Yi took this opportunity to help Jiang Wei consolidate the defense at the Huguan line and prepare a sand table.

The location of Yanmen is very important. Not only the throat of the Hu people going south, but also can send troops to directly attack Youzhou. Liu Yi hopes that Jiang Wei will capture Yanmen after the beginning of spring next year.

The battle in Yecheng was not perfect. The most important thing is that it would be difficult for Liu Yi to find such an opportunity to defeat Sima Yi next. Since this is the case, it is better to send troops from two groups, commanded by Jiang Wei and attack Youzhou. No matter how powerful Sima Yi is, he will be incompetent to the two groups of soldiers and horses, and may also face the troops of the Central Plains.

At that time, under the glorious trend, even if Sima Yi has the ability to achieve enlightenment, he will be powerless to turn things around.

"Governor, war reports are coming from the front line. General Wei Yan and Sima Yi's son Sima Shi fought fiercely in Yongqiu for several days, and won a complete victory!" Jiang Wei came in and bowed to Liu Yi and said with a smile.

"Good thing." Liu Yi didn't care about this. Sima Yi's son was considered a genius, but he was not as powerful as his son. What's more, Wei Yan fought a lifelong battle. Sima Shi was still a little short of Taoism to defeat Wei Yan on the battlefield.

"It's the end of the year, do you miss home?" Liu Yi looked at Jiang Wei and said.

"It's a bit." Jiang Wei nodded, familiar with Liu Yi, and when he got along in private, he didn't have so many polite things.

"I thought about it too." Liu Yi sighed: "After this battle, I should be able to enjoy the joy of family. My daughter is now pregnant."

"Congratulations to the Governor!" Jiang Wei said with a smile.

"It's almost done here. Let's start an attack on Yanmen after the New Year. The Yanmen defenders are all warriors who guard the frontier and have made contributions to the world. If these soldiers can be saved, they will be saved." Liu Yi looked at the sand table in front of him and sighed.

"Don't worry, the general will understand." Jiang Wei nodded. During this period, they had contacted several guards from Yanmen. The impact of Yecheng being breached once was greatly affected. Many people have already let go and should be able to directly reduce a group of people.

"Governor~" Pang Hui came in from outside the door and bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Governor, an angel is coming to preach the imperial edict!"
