Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Sima Yi said to Liu Bei: "Today's big break in Yuan's army, so that you can prepare a banquet and treat the soldiers well." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Certainly, definitely!" ”

At this time, Liu Bei's heart was full of mixed tastes, and it should be a very happy thing to defeat Chen Liu and eliminate Yuan Shao's reinforcements.

However, Sima Yi's extraordinary performance made Liu Bei feel great pressure. It was only then that he understood the importance of a top-tier strategist.

"Zhong Da is still only a junior under the command of the general, and he already has this unpredictable ability, if he is replaced by those top famous strategists, what will be the result?"

Thinking of this, Liu Bei suddenly felt a shudder. It was only at this time that he deeply felt the strength and heritage of Guanzhong.

"If I have the help of such top strategists, coupled with the courage of the second and third brothers, how can I not accommodate the world, although it is big?"

Liu Bei looked at Sima Yi beside him, and an extremely hot light suddenly bloomed in his eyes.

Feeling Liu Bei's eyes, Sima Yi couldn't help but secretly complain, how could he not know Liu Bei's intentions? It's just that in Sima Yi's opinion, Liu Bei is inferior to his lord after all.

Moreover, the Hedong Sima clan is deeply favored by Chen Xu, and Wen Zhao also takes great care of Sima Yi, and has taken him by his side since he was a child.

It can be said that if there was no Chen Xu, in this troubled world, their Sima clan would not know what would become. At least in the last few years of the great famine, it is very likely that many people in their tribe will starve to death.

The death of a confidant, even though Sima Yi in history was scheming, has now changed a lot. What's more, even if he really had the heart to defect to Liu Bei, he didn't dare to do such a thing that would be unpopular in the world.

This is the atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, not only the monarch chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king.

If you treat your ministers like mustard, and don't listen to your courtiers, no one will say anything even if your courtiers turn to others.

However, if a courtier is favored by the monarch and gets rid of the monarch and votes for someone else, then this person will be reviled by the whole world.

In this way, not only will his reputation be ruined, but he will even be disgraced by his family.

Although the family would often scatter the children of the clan and let them defect to a few princes. However, while they protect the interests of their families, they also pay attention to loyalty.

Once two people in the clan split between each other, even if they see each other in the future, they will definitely deceive themselves and seek benefits for their own monarch. The most famous in history is none other than Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin.

Once the children of the family recognize the master, unless the end of their own monarch's defeat is already doomed, few people will turn to others; Even though the defeat of their own monarch has been decided, there are many loyal people who are willing to die with the monarch.

And these are one of the reasons why the Maison can stand.

It is precisely because of this that even if several people in a family vote for several princes, those princes will not snub the children of these families because of this.

If the children of these families collude with each other and betray their monarch, it is like pushing their own family into a fire pit. In this way, not only will no one dare to use the children of their clan in the future, but they will also bring trouble to their own family.

Sima Yi quietly turned his head to look at the city, and secretly thought in his heart: "Although Liu Yuzhou obeys my words and obeys, he is a generation of heroes, but it is impossible for me to switch to his command again." ”

The fighting continues, but it is more of a slaughter than a fight. Three members of the Yuan army were given the head, and the other was washed away by the flood, and the rest of the Yuan army was leaderless and had become a plate of loose sand.

At this time, Guan Yu had also led his troops to kill, and he and Zhang Fei besieged the remaining Yuan army on the south bank of the Huiji River. Some of them could swim, and Yuan Jun waited for the water to slow down a little, and actually jumped into the river and swam to the other side.

"Stomp, stomp!"

However, as soon as they went ashore, they saw a young general rushing over with men and horses, but Guan Ping had already ambushed on the north bank of the Huiji River.

This time, Sima Yi was ready to wipe out Yuan Jun.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

Guan Ping roared, and the soldiers of Yuan who threw away their weapons and took off their armor to swim across the river all knelt on the ground and no longer resisted.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also shouted loudly, and the Yuan army, which was blocked by the big river on the south bank, also threw down their weapons and surrendered.

Since the Yuan army surrendered, the rest of the matter was naturally to escort the prisoners and clean up the battlefield. There were not too many soldiers of Yuan who swam across the river, and after Guan Ping dealt with these people, he led his men and horses to rush downstream.

It took half a day to clean up the entire battlefield.

It's a hot summer, and both the wounded and the physical must be properly handled. Otherwise, the wounds of the wounded will easily become inflamed and aggravated, but the corpse will bring plague.

After Liu Bei asked people to prepare a banquet, he personally went out of the city to greet Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the soldiers of Liu who returned from a great victory.

Guan Yu saw Liu Bei coming out to greet him, and hurriedly patted his horse forward and said, "Brother's injury is not yet well, why did he come out to greet us?" ”

Liu Bei laughed twice and said: "My injuries are not serious, today Yun Chang and Yide will capture the flag and break the Yuan army, how can I not go out of the city to greet my brother?" ”

Guan Yu hurriedly said humbly: "This big victory is thanks to Zhong Da's strategy, otherwise it will not be easy for us to win." ”

Zhang Fei also nodded and said: "When I first started to see him, I thought that this person was a useless little white face, but I didn't expect to have such a great ability." ”

Liu Bei turned pale and said, "How does Yide speak?" ”

Zhang Fei glanced at Sima Yi next to him, scratched his head, and smirked embarrassedly.

Sima Yi didn't care at all, he didn't see Guan Ping for a long time, and immediately asked, "Two generals, why hasn't Ah Ping come back yet?" ”

Zhang Fei glanced left and right a few times, and said, "My eldest nephew, I am now arresting those Yuan Jun who were washed away by the flood along the Huiji River." ”

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, let's go into the city first, presumably the two generals are already a little tired after fighting for a long time." ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Not tired, not tired; Even if I fight like this for ten days and ten nights, I won't feel tired. ”

Ignoring Zhang Fei any more, Liu Bei led the triumphant soldiers and horses to the city.

Guan Yu walked on the road and couldn't help but ask Sima Yi: "Zhongda, why don't you flood this plan at the beginning, and then attack it halfway; On the contrary, after the defeat of Yuan's army, should this strategy be used? ”

When Liu Bei and Zhang Fei heard this, they also looked at Sima Yi curiously. They all felt that the final flood plan was a bit of a snake and was unnecessary.
