The Wei army was in front, the Han army was behind, and the two armies headed north.

After half a month of marching, Sima Yi led his troops to arrive at the territory of Chen County, which was also located in Yuzhou.

Chen County is located in the north of Runan County, and when Sima Yi marched to Yangxia County, the county seat in the north of Chen County, he suddenly ordered his soldiers and horses to enter the city to rest.

In the face of Sima Yi's order, all the generals were puzzled, and along the way to the north, they also encountered many cities, but the officials of these cities were basically withdrawn, and the city was very chaotic.

When encountering the Wei State that still had control, Sima Yi only ordered the soldiers and horses to fetch some fresh meat to improve the food for the soldiers, and never stayed in the city.

Sima Yi entered the city with the generals, and the generals entered the city, only to find that something was wrong.

This Yangxia City is different from other county towns passing by, there is still order in the city, there is no chaos, and not only that, there are hundreds of garrisons to maintain order.

Seeing this, the general said to Sima Yi: "General, let's go all the way north, the cities we pass along the way are all chaotic, why are there still hundreds of garrisons in this Yangxia City?"

Zhuge Liang was chasing after us, and it was less than two days away from us. We have enough food and grass, if we don't continue to go north, what are we going to do in this sunny summer? Could it be that the general intends to continue to resist Zhuge Liang here? ”

Sima Yi glanced at the general, and then explained lightly: "Although I have come up with a way to break the waterwheel, if we go too fast, we will throw Zhuge Liang too far away." The water watered along the way will also dry naturally, and Zhuge Liang will only chase harder.

And continue to the north, that is, Chen Liu, north of Chen Liu, Zhao Tingshi is moving the people, and now he is going there directly, leading Zhuge Liang over, isn't it a big deal to move the people?

Chen Liudong is Si Li, my son is still in Xuchang, if Zhuge Liang turns to march into Si Li, and jointly opens the Tongguan Road in Guanzhong, then Si Li will be obtained by the Shu army, and Yingchuan will become the mainland of Shu, won't my son be trapped in Xuchang? ”

"The last general has not thought it through, please forgive the general!" When the general heard this, he couldn't wait to slap himself, forgetting that Sima Zhao was still in Xuchang.

Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "I have already arranged a garrison in Yangxia City, and there are still grain and grass in the city.

In addition, I sent a message to Xuchang, Yingchuan, asking my son Sima Zhao to give up Xuchang, retreat to Sili, and go to Luoyang to listen to General Guo Huai's dispatch. In addition, he sent a letter to General Zhao in the north, asking him to complete the relocation of the people as soon as possible, but to leave 100,000 people in Baima. ”

"No!"

Sima Yi said that, and urged the horse to go straight to the county office. Sima Yi is already old and weak, and he is also tired after half a month of marching, and now he has to rest in the county government for a night.

The generals also led their troops to rest in the city, and after lunch, they took the baggage and went to camp outside the city.

Because he was afraid that the Han army would use Huihui artillery to attack the city, Sima Yi still did not dare to defend the city, so he had to camp outside the city.

After Meimei rested for one night, Sima Yi went to the camp outside the city to sit down.

In the Wei army camp, the scout general reported to Sima Yi: "Da Sima, according to the report from the scout, Zhuge Liang is less than sixty miles away from here, and it is expected to arrive before noon tomorrow." ”

Sima Yi slapped the table and shouted: "Zhuge Liang came so fast, hum, my heart will not die this fight!" ”

Sima Yi said this, but there was no trace of anger on his face, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhuge Liang chased after him, which is a good thing, and if he continues to chase it, he will be happier, because in the north, he has arranged a gluttonous feast waiting for Zhuge Liang. If Zhuge Liang didn't come, he would be sad and sad.

The man on the side said with a sad face: "Last time, the general secretly built a waterwheel, and came up with a way to get rid of Zhuge Liang by surprise.

Now that Zhuge Liang is coming again, he must be on guard, and before our army leaves the camp, he will use cavalry, and how should he retreat at that time? ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "The soldiers will block, the water will come to the soil, I have already taken care of this matter, you don't have to worry about the history of the thorns." ”

"Zhongda has a way to retreat!" Man Pet breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Only Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi played a two-sided game, but the entire world, nearly half of the soldiers and horses were mobilized.

On the Han side, on the Nanyang side, Deng Ai received an order from Zhuge Liang to send Huang Xu to lead 20,000 troops into Xuchang, and he led the remaining more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to march east to Yuzhou to help Zhuge Liang stabilize the rear.

On the Guanzhong side, Liu Chan also ordered Wei Yan and other generals to command tens of thousands of soldiers in Guanzhong to sit in Huayin, ready to march into the army at any time.

In the land of Jiangxia, Ma Jian still confronted Lu Xun in Xiakou.

And the Wei side.

Sima Zhao also received a letter from Sima Yi, abandoning Xuchang and retreating to Hebei, obeying Guo Huai's command.

Yingchuan, Xuchang.

"General, the soldiers and horses are ready, and it's time to go!"

In a mansion in Xuchang City, the main hall is very deserted, and even many furniture have been moved.

A general walked into the main hall and said to Sima Zhao in his seat.

"Got it!" Sima Zhao sighed and got up from his seat to leave.

Walking out of the mansion, Sima Zhao came to the door, looked back at the word Sima on the door of the mansion, and couldn't help but fall into melancholy.

This mansion is Sima Yi's home in Xuchang, and it is also his Sima Zhao's home, and Sima Zhao has lived here for a long time.

This mansion carries many good memories of Sima Zhao.

In this, there is a martial arts training room, where he practiced swords with Sima Shi, and the two fought profusely, but neither of them was willing to admit defeat.

In the backyard, there is a vegetable field that he and his mother Zhang Chunhua opened up, Sima Yi likes to eat woad moss, every late autumn season, he will sprinkle woad seeds in the vegetable field with Zhang Chunhua, and then wait for the arrival of spring.

But now, he is going to leave Xuchang forever, and maybe in the future, he will not have a chance to come back.

General Wei saw Sima Zhao looking at the plaque and was fascinated, so he said, "Young General, what are you looking at?" The soldiers are waiting outside the city! ”

"Oh, let's go!" Sima Zhao came back to his senses, turned around and walked out of the city.

Xuchang is the starting place of Cao Cao, which has been the capital of the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, and has been extremely prosperous by Cao Cao.

But now, there is no prosperity in the city of Xuchang, only the streets in the city are deserted, and no pedestrian passes by.

On both sides of the road, some of the doors were closed, as if they were locked and bolted from the inside. Some of the houses were wide open, and the houses were in chaos, as if they had been ransacked by robbers.

"Let's go!"

Sima Zhao left the city, joined the army outside the city, and set off for the north.

With this voice, Xuchang, an important town that Cao Wei had been operating for decades, no longer belonged to Wei at all.
