In November of the ninth year of Yanxi, General Jiang Wei of Zhennan returned to Chang'an to report on his duties. After receiving instructions from Feng Da Sima, he did not bother to rest and rushed back to Luoyang in the wind and snow to reorganize his army and prepare for war.

As soon as Jiang Wei, the general of Zhennan, left, Guan Suo, the general of Zhendong, set off from Chang'an, preparing to lead the front army across the river to Taiyuan.

In mid-November, Feng Da Sima officially set out for Hebei. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty led hundreds of officials to send him off outside Chang'an City.

Feng Da Sima resigned as emperor, covered the countryside with banners, and led his army to the east of the river.

Feng Da Sima did not do anything to conceal his expedition this time, and even delivered food and grass in the early stages without concealing his momentum.

When he first started to take action, he kept his nerves tense and kept a close eye on the various spies in Guanzhong. Feng Dasima had already rushed to send the news back to its destination before he had even crossed the river.

Jiang Ji, who got the news earlier than Sima Yi of Yecheng, finally let out a long breath after getting the news immediately, and his heart that had been hanging on it fell back to its original place.

He unconsciously clutched the secret letter in his hand and murmured:

"finally come."

Since the fall of Guanzhong, he has been waiting for this day to arrive.

That year, Taifu's Shangdang counterattack made him think that this day would never come.

Unexpectedly, Feng Zeisheng turned the situation around, which is really disappointing.

Now that he knew that Feng Thief was personally leading the army on the expedition, Jiang Ji felt a sense of relief in his heart while feeling heavy.

After all, over the years, facing the legendary far-sighted and ruthless Feng Thief, it was a kind of torture to have to be wary of any sinister tricks the other party would use at any time.

But it was obvious that Thief Feng did not want to play any tricks this time. He just wanted to rely on the elite soldiers of the Han army to defeat Taifu Sima and capture Hebei in an upright manner.

Thinking about it, the Han army's only two defeats over the years - once at Shangdang and once at Youzhou - were both calculated by Sima Taifu.

Apart from this, they all have won many battles and have the potential to be invincible and invincible.

This time, Thief Feng probably wanted to defeat Taifu Sima in a fair and dignified manner and avenge his previous humiliation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jichang took out a breath and ordered:

"Come here, prepare your horses!"

Although he felt that he had guessed what Feng was thinking, at this age, Jiang Ji could not be naive enough to think that Feng would only focus on finding Taifu Sima.

If Feng Zei obviously planned to attack Jizhou, but actually planned to secretly attack Hanoi, and lost Hanoi due to his own carelessness, then he would really have to die to thank his master.

Therefore, when Feng entered Hedong, he had to personally guard Zhiguanxing in order to feel at ease.

Arriving just one day late in Yecheng, Sima Zhao entered Sima Yi's study in a very rude manner with an urgent document in hand and a panic look on his face:

"Sir, Feng Wenhe is really making a move! This time, he is leading the army himself instead of imprisoning the thieves!"

A few days ago, I learned that Guan Suo's luck in leading the army to Taiyuan was shattered into pieces.

Sima Yi, who was at his desk annotating official documents, heard this and did not immediately raise his head. Instead, he finished approving all the official documents at hand, closed them and put them aside, and then put down his pen.

Then he reached out and slapped his waist, stretched his neck hard, and tried to move his neck.

When Sima Zhao saw it, he quickly stepped forward and helped Sima Yi massage his shoulders:

"Sir, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Sima Yi closed his eyes and sighed slowly:

"I'm old, I can't stand it anymore, so

.

After sitting for a while, my bones became so stiff that I almost couldn’t move.”

The afterglow of dusk slanted in through the window, shining right on his face.

The tiny ravines and dots of age spots on the skin were illuminated, making them look old and haggard, as if their luster had been ruthlessly stripped away by the years.

Wrinkles were deeply etched on his forehead and corners of his eyes, like deep ravines, recording his years of hard work.

Even though he tried to sit up straight, looking from the direction of Sima Zhao, he could still see that his master's back was slightly hunched, as if he was carrying the heavy burden of Wei.

The adult's hair had always been neat and clean before, but now it has become messy and fluffy, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time.

His beard also grew unevenly, and most of it had turned white, with some traces of gray mixed in, giving people an unkempt look.

He remembered clearly that when he was in Luoyang, his beard was still neatly trimmed.

Everyone knows that after the Shangdang battle, although your Excellency failed to regain the lost territory, you at least took some advantage and allowed the Han Dynasty's Hedong Governor's Mansion to lose troops.

Even Wei Yan, the powerful general of the Han Dynasty, ended up being bedridden for the rest of his life.

But who knew that this battle would deal a heavy blow to the adults.

The eldest brother suffered an eye injury in that battle and eventually died of his injuries.

More importantly, in the eyes of adults, after this battle, the Wei Dynasty forever lost hope of regaining Hedong and Bingzhou.

Between Han and Wei, offense and defense completely changed from then on.

Since you arrived at Yecheng, you have been working day and night. You must not only seize the time to mobilize troops and generals, but also strictly guard the entrances of Taihang to prepare for thieves to invade eastward.

At the same time, it is also necessary to appease the officials in various places to calm people's hearts.

Although Hebei is said to be rich in land and produce, since the time of Emperor Wen, people from Hebei have been moved several times to fill Henan.

When Emperor Ping arrived, he recruited several soldiers from Hebei to fill the vacancies on the western front.

The land of Hebei is in good condition. It has obviously been far away from the war since Emperor Congwu. I never thought that when I entered Jizhou, what I saw was that the people's livelihood was in ruins.

If Yecheng was not the capital of the Wei Dynasty and the place where the country was founded, and the treasury still had some reserves, I am afraid that military supplies would have to be transported from Hanoi and Luoyang for emergency relief.

It is precisely because of this that your Excellency has been working diligently and cautiously over the past few years and has not dared to relax at all.

On the one hand, we must guard against thieves from the west taking advantage of the situation, and on the other hand, we must try our best to restore the livelihood of the people in Hebei, so that food and grass no longer need to be controlled by Cao Shuang.

He saw with his own eyes how the adult's body collapsed.

Who would have expected that Hebei was only slightly improving, and Thief Feng was like a fly that smelled the fishy smell, so he immediately sent troops over.

How difficult this world is!

From Guanzhong, to Luoyang, and then to Yecheng, the thieves pressed forward step by step, almost suffocating the adults.

Why does Heaven always make things so difficult for adults?

Seeing the adults like this and thinking about the current situation, Sima Zhao couldn't help but feel a sore nose:

"Sir, this Great Wei is not from our Sima clan, so why are you doing this?"

If you encounter content that cannot be displayed, is incompletely displayed, or has garbled characters or typos, please exit reading mode or free reading mode to read normally.

Hearing this, Sima Yi opened his eyes.

At this time, his eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes, looking tired and muddy.

The corners of his eyes drooped, with a trace of exhaustion and helplessness that could not be concealed, as if he had endured too much pressure and was exhausted physically and mentally.

I could only hear Sima Yi sighing softly:

"Yes, this Great Wei is not the Great Wei of the Sima clan, but the Sima clan is tied to the Great Wei!"

Thinking back to the beginning, I looked down upon Cao Ah Man after he became an eunuch, and refused to serve the Cao family many times.

I didn’t expect that Cao Aman

.

He didn't behave like a son of a man, so he actually let people take a knife to force him to become an official.

well……

Sima Yi shook his head gently:

"I can't go back. I can't look back."

It is impossible to surrender.

If he really surrendered to the Han Kingdom, it would be like pushing the families who supported him into a pit of fire.

It is impossible for the Han State to kill all these aristocratic families. If any of the surviving aristocratic families stand up, they will try their best to eat the Sima family alive.

"If the Wei Dynasty dies, how will the Sima family be different? Only when the Wei Dynasty prospers can we, the Sima family, prosper!"

In the Wei Dynasty, it can be said that the Sima family and the Cao family share the world.

These two families are also a thorn in the side of the Han Dynasty, and they want to get rid of them quickly.

Others can surrender, but the Sima family and the Cao family cannot surrender.
