Sima Yi's death did not cause much trouble. After the initial anger, more people chose to compromise. After all, the Great Wei was gone. Now the ministers of the Great Wei naturally had to consider it. Although some people wanted to take revenge, the result of repaying Sima Yi may be a catastrophe for the entire family. The most important thing is that in Yecheng, the two leaders of the Sima family, Sima Yi and Sima Zhao, have all died. As the saying goes, there are not many people who are willing to stand up in the face of their past friendship and their own wealth and life.

The army's pacification was faster than expected.

Next, it was the issue of incorporation. Liu Yi dug through the city gate and ordered the troops in the city to leave the city in batches, and then waited for arrangements. Until all the Wei troops were unarmed and left the city, Liu Yi ordered Wei Yan to enter the city for patrols, and then entered the city in person and accepted Cao Fang's surrender.

A ten-year-old child looks like a little adult, at least he can't tell the joy or anger from his expression. Such a little guy is even more frightening.

The first thing to take over Yecheng is to appease the people and release the water source. At the same time, a large amount of grain is transferred from the surrounding area to help the people of Yecheng. Yecheng is trapped for a year, no matter how hard it is, those aristocratic families still have surplus food in their hands. What is really suffering is the people living at the bottom, small families, who don’t have much savings. Once the war comes, their ability to resist risks is naturally not comparable to those aristocratic families.

According to preliminary calculations, in this year or the second half of this year, there were nearly 30,000 people starving to death in Yecheng. In fact, if all the large families and the imperial palaces in Yecheng were taken out, such a problem would never occur. But if you blame these people for this, there is no reason. The food belongs to others, so it is naturally a kind act to take it out and distribute it to the people, but if you don’t take it out, it seems that you can’t blame others.

Disaster relief cannot be completely relieved. It just so happened that Liu Yi is now dealing with the infrastructure construction of Jizhou and Youzhou, which requires a large number of manpower. After asking the court for advice, these newly surrendered Wei soldiers sent them to various places to start building bridges and paving roads and building sites. At the same time, Yecheng also needs to be renovated, and there is no need to demolish the previous city walls. Yecheng is just a key town in Jizhou and is expanded.

"Sikong!" Wei Yan came to Liu Yi and ordered two boxes to take them up and said, "This is the head of the Sima father and son. In addition, the Sima family has been destroyed by the Huang Hao clan."

"Sima family." Liu Yi nodded and looked at Wei Yan and said, "Send someone to Chang'an to report this matter to Your Majesty. The Sima family is destroyed. I am worried that Sima Shi, if he can... kill him together."

"Here!" Wei Yan agreed, then hesitated: "Why did the governor treat the Sima family like this?"

"The gentry of all major and small in the Wei Dynasty were mainly Sima family or Sima Yi. They were there, even if these aristocratic families surrendered to the Han Dynasty, they could still be united. Eliminating the Sima family, these gentry of the Wei Dynasty were a mess, which was not to be afraid of." Liu Yi smiled.

"Sikong can see far." Wei Yan nodded and said, "I'll do it now."

Seeing Wei Yan leave, Liu Yi walked out of the lobby silently and looked at the vast sky, and felt a little empty in his heart. The demise of the Sima family also represents another meaning in Liu Yi's heart. He was indeed a little worried that the Sima family would gradually gain power after surrendering to the Han Dynasty.

Although there is not much room for the Sima family to play out in the current situation, this is a knot in my heart. Liu Yi does not want the revival of the prosperous Han Dynasty that he has worked hard for the rest of his life. The world is finally settled and should not waste too much energy on fighting for power and profit, and there are still many things that have not been done.

But now the demise of Sima family has also made Liu Yi suddenly feel an unspeakable feeling of loneliness.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Xiahou brothers, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and now Sima Yi and Sima Zhao, those familiar names are constantly disappearing, and perhaps more will be found in the future. In the end, the times evolve, and the older generation gradually faded away and were supplemented by new people until they turned into a name in the long river of history.

After shook his head and put aside these thoughts, the door to the steam era has been opened halfway by himself. Although the world has been decided and the Eastern Wu has not yet recovered, it is only a matter of time. Judging from the attitude of the court, what I have to do now is to completely advance the times to the steam era and let China stand on the top of the world. Since we have come to this world once, we should always leave something behind.

The trains in the Western Regions should also be built, but before that, the infrastructure projects in the Central Plains must be completed.

In the following days, as Cao Fang was sent to Chang'an, the ministers of the Wei Dynasty were also redistributed, and Liu Yi was named the Taifu, but the construction of the world was still under the leadership of Liu Yi. Apart from his status being equal to the two parties, there were not many changes for Liu Yi.

However, Liu Chan did not withdraw his troops. After completely recapturing the Wei Dynasty, in June of the fifth year of Yanxi, Liu Chan appointed Liu Cheng as the commander, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and Zhao Guang as generals, and sent 50,000 troops to station in Shouchun. At the same time, the Jiangxia naval army began to cruise around Panyang.

This battle was considered to be the young generation of the Han Dynasty. No older generation generals such as Liu Yi, Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan did not participate in the battle, and the younger generation was completely presided over the battle.

The two months from July to August were the most fierce battles between the two sides. Liu Cheng and Lu Xun fought no less than ten times in the Donglingting Pavilion area. Lu Xun was ordered to block the unstoppable Han army, and almost destroyed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. His abilities were naturally excellent.

Liu Cheng joined the army as a young man. He fought in the northwest since he was twelve years old and made many military achievements. He was promoted from a small soldier to the cavalry commander step by step. Later, he followed Pang Tong to fight against the Central Plains and led an army alone, attacking the strong with weak. Cao Shuang's 300,000 troops were eventually almost defeated by Liu Cheng alone, especially in the past two years, he became famous and drew the Central Plains.

The showdown between the two was also quite exciting. When the gap in military strength was not large, Liu Cheng took advantage of the advantages of military armor, but Lu Xun also took advantage of the equipment obtained from the great man back then, and the most important thing was to use the water battle, but he was not completely crushed by Liu Cheng.

Starting from September, the Eastern Wu shrank its defense line, gave up Guangling, and retreated into Jiangdong to rely on the Yangtze River to resist the Han army.

However, Liu Cheng did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the battle, but began to build a water camp in Guangling. At the same time, he ordered the Jiangxia naval army to go east along the river and confront Lu Xun in the Jianye area across the river.

Compared with the Battle of Destroying Wei, this battle is much more beautiful in terms of viewing. Both sides are making plans, seducing each other and testing each other. The methods used during this period can be said to be textbook-style combat. Moreover, in the Jiangdong area, the waterways are crisscrossing. Although the ship designed by Liu Yi is powerful, it is difficult to drive into these waterways. Lu Xun nailed a large number of wooden stakes along the river, making it difficult for the Han navy to dock directly.

Liu Cheng did not make a rash move, but chose to take steady steps to gradually erode the vitality of the Wu army.

Starting from September, the two sides were in a confrontation. After abandoning Guangling, the Wu army, which was guarding Jiangdong, had a geographical advantage. Although the Han army was able to approach the river bank, because a large number of sharpened pillars were nailed underwater, the Han army's warships could not get close to each other, so they lost their own advantages.

"Zi Xin, if this continues, you can't get through at all!" Guan Xing came to Liu Cheng and looked at the arrow tower and beacon tower on the other side. This kind of battle was not a matter of number of people, but most Han soldiers were not familiar with water wars. The Han army, which was proficient in water wars, was only available to Jingzhou Navy, but Lu Xun was blocked by this method along the river and could not get through at all.

"It's almost done." Liu Cheng sat at the highest point of the building, looked at the Dongwu Water Village in the distance, and thought silently in his heart.

"What?" Guan Xing said inexplicably.

"Since the previous year, Sun Quan has begun to send the population of Eastern Wu to Yizhou by ships. Don't you know?" Liu Cheng looked at Guan Xing in confusion.

"This..." Guan Xing's eyelids twitched, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I really haven't heard of it."

"Lu Xun is delaying time." Liu Cheng looked at the water camp in the distance and said, "I don't think it will take long to go here, this is an empty camp."

"Let's just watch?" Guan Xing looked at Liu Cheng in confusion.

"Since crossing the river, Lu Xun has only defended but not attacked." Liu Cheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, "A person like him chooses to defend but not attack. It is not easy to attack."

Is it reasonable? Just like Liu Yi chose to defend but not attack, and there was no way for even a person like Sima Yi. Lu Xun completely gave up the opportunity to attack and only wanted to protect himself, Liu Cheng had no choice but to do anything to Lu Xun when his weapons could not crush the Wei army like he did.

"Then let's just watch it?" Guan Xing frowned. Their mission this time was to force Dongwu to surrender. Now that Sun Quan is leaving, what's the situation?

Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "It's useless to be anxious. Even if we attack, our army will suffer heavy losses. Removing the defense of the river bank will see if it can attract Lu Xun to be careless. If Lu Xun attacks, he will inevitably demolish the wooden stakes. At that time, our navy can follow the trend and attack in."

"What if he doesn't come to attack?" Guan Xing felt that this method was not very reliable, and he clearly was leaving.

"Then I can only wait a few more months before attacking Jianye after the spring starts!" Liu Cheng thought for a while and said, "Sun Quan can leave, but it cannot pull the entire Eastern Wu people away. What we want is the land of Jiangdong and the population of Jiangdong. If they want to leave, it is actually a good thing for me, but if Lu Xun and his son leave, it will be a pity."

Guan Xing nodded. Lu Xun was indeed a good commander.

"Retreat first, see Lu Xun's reaction!"

"Here!"

...

A few days later, in the Jiangdong Navy Camp, Lu Kang came to Lu Xun with a letter and handed it to Lu Xun and said, "Father, it's the letter sent by Liu Cheng."

After hearing this, Lu Xun took the letter and looked over silently. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Liu Boyuan is a genius, but his son is a genius!"

"Father, are you going to surrender?" Lu Kang looked at Lu Xun in confusion.

"Well, but it's a little different. Let the King of Wu go and introduce you and my father and son to the court. What do you think about it?" Lu Xun smiled and looked at his fifteen-year-old son.

"The child thought this was the best result." Lu Kang said after a moment of silence: "The child does not want to escape overseas and never return to his hometown for the rest of his life."
