Zhao Yan, who couldn't sit still, finally didn't dare to continue to test the Han army, seeing that Sima Yi was about to arrive, if he didn't inform Sima Yi, and when Sima Yi arrived, the plan could not be launched, then it would be over.

Therefore, Zhao Yan had no choice but to send people to the south to tell Sima Yi, who was retreating to the north, about the situation here.

At this moment, Sima Yi had already led his troops to the territory of Yongqiu in Chenliu County.

Yongqiu is not far from Chen Liucheng, continue to walk north for half a month, you can reach Baima.

The Wei army camp is in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"General, an urgent report from White Horse City!" The first general walked in with a letter and handed it to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is soaking his feet, the weather is getting colder and colder, and his feet are frozen cold after marching every day, and only at this time can he relieve fatigue every day.

"Show it to me!" When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately sat up, took his feet out of the footbasin, didn't care about putting on his shoes, and walked up barefoot to take the letter from General Wei's hand.

The letter sent by White Horse City must be a big event, and Sima Yi can't be in a hurry.

When he opened the letter, Sima Yi's face suddenly changed.

"How so, how so?" Sima Yi seemed to have lost his soul, kept muttering in his mouth, walking on the ground with his feet, and suddenly accidentally stepped on the edge of the basin and fell to the ground, and the footwashing water in the basin also wet Sima Yi's body.

"General!" General Wei was shocked and hurriedly helped Sima Yi up.

The water for washing the feet was hot, but now it was cold, and even if there were many braziers lit in the tent, the water poured on the clothes quickly became cold.

Sima Yi didn't seem to be unaware, holding the wet quilt letter in his hand, and still muttered in a depressed voice: "How can this be? Why? ”

"General, hurry up and change your clothes, otherwise you will catch a cold and get sick!" General Wei took Sima Yi's package, took a piece of clothing and handed it to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi still turned a deaf ear, as if he had fallen into his own world and had not heard General Wei's words.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, I'd better call someone!" Seeing that Sima Yi should not be himself, General Wei sighed, stamped his feet and went out to call someone.

Sima Yi endured too much pressure, and in the first battle, he endured too much humiliation, and even wore women's clothes. The plan to break the embankment is his hope to turn over.

But now, this hope has been dashed, which is not a big blow to Sima Yi.

General Wei soon brought the other generals to the Chinese army's tent.

"The general doesn't know what's wrong......"

General Wei said to everyone while looking at Sima Yi.

But when he saw Sima Yi, Wei Jiang was stunned, and saw Sima Yi sitting on the bed, draped in a quilt, and next to him was a change of wet clothes.

It was like I had lost my soul just now, but now it's okay?

"General, are you alright?" General Wei asked softly.

"What can happen?" Sima Yi glanced at General Wei and said lightly: "Get me the brazier closer!" The rest of the people go down, you don't have to worry, tomorrow morning, continue to lead the army north. ”

"Yes!" The generals retreated, leaving only the Wei general who was left at the beginning to serve Sima Yi.

General Wei moved the brazier closer, Sima Yi felt much warmer, blew out a breath of white air, and ordered: "Give me the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" ”

When General Wei heard this, he moved the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of Sima Yi.

Sima Yi immediately wrote the couch and wrote a letter.

Sima Yi sealed the letter, handed it to General Wei and said, "Let this letter be sent to White Horse City quickly, and it must be handed over to Zhao Tingshi." ”

"No!"

…………

……

Two days later, Zhao Yan received a reply from Sima Yi.

"If the cavalry of the Shu army on the white horse side does not withdraw, the site of the embankment will be placed in Guancheng?"

Zhao Yan read the letter and immediately took out the map and studied it.

Guancheng, located in Henan County, is two or three hundred miles away from Baima.

In later generations, it was Zhengzhou, and during the Anti-Japanese War, the national army bombed the garden and flooded the little devils in that area.

In that section of the Yellow River, the riverbed is also relatively high, and digging a dam can also achieve the effect of bursting the embankment or even diverting the Yellow River.

It's just that if the Yellow River is dug there, the water of the Yellow River will rush to the Chenliu area, flooding the Yanzhong area, not the Yanbei area of Dongjun.

In other words, if the Yellow River is opened in the area of Guancheng, it will not hurt the Han army, but it can divert the Yellow River, so that the Han will still have to bother to control the floods, and it can also delay time for the Wei State and continue to survive.

Looking at the letter, Zhao Yan sighed and said: "Now the plan can only be like this, Zhuge Liang's life should not be extinguished." ”

As Zhao Yan spoke, he repaired a letter and sent it to Zhong Yi on the north bank, so that Zhong Yi could send someone to inform Guo Huai in Luoyang and let him carry out this task.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Sima Yi finally led his troops to arrive at White Horse City.

Since Zhao Yun only had more than 1,000 cavalry, he didn't dare to rashly deal with Sima Yi's tens of thousands of people, so he had to stand still and wait for Zhuge Liang to arrive.

"Zhongda, I can be regarded as waiting for you!" Knowing that Sima Yi had arrived in Baima, Zhao Yan personally led his troops out of the city to greet him, and took Sima Yi's hand and walked into the city together.

Sima Yi asked as he entered the city, "Have the patrols and horses of the Shu army in the upper reaches retreated?" ”

Zhao Yan shook his head and said: "They have not retreated, and now the weather is getting colder and colder, but they are patrolling there day and night, as if they have taken root, and the area from Yanjin to Baimajin is their cavalry, and our scouts dare not approach there." ”

Sima Yi said with a calm face: "The Yellow River is cold, and the wind can freeze people to death, but the cavalry of the Shu army are staring at it day and night, it seems that they do know the plan to break the embankment." ”

"Could it be that there is a spy among us?" Zhao Yan guessed.

"It's too late to talk about this!" Sima Yi sighed and said, "Guo Huai has already been notified by the other side, right?" ”

Zhao Yan nodded: "Someone has been sent to inform me!" ”

Sima Yi ordered Zhao Yan: "Zhuge Liang is chasing closely, it is estimated that he will lead his troops over tomorrow, pass the order, let the soldiers prepare to retreat, and we will cross the river early tomorrow morning." lest Zhuge Liang come over and cause more trouble. ”

Zhao Yan was puzzled: "What about the people? But there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city who have not moved. These people are just afraid that it will be very troublesome when they move, and we can go, but these people are afraid that they can't take them away. ”

Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "I left this group of people here to prevent you from moving them away, originally I wanted to use these people to contain Zhuge *** He came to chase me." Unexpectedly, the plan to break the embankment was leaked, and now these people can't take it away.

In this way, before leaving tomorrow, take away all the people's money, food, and cotton clothes, and destroy all those who can't be taken, leaving only these people without clothes and food, and let Zhuge Liang have a headache. ”
