"How can I cede such an important strategic point as the Luti Fortress to the Wei people, and besides, if I do this, how will the government and the opposition view me?" Yueduo said angrily.

Shirpa frowned and said, "But now that Yue Kefeng has been defeated, the Wei army is overwhelmed!" We have the remnants of Vesudeva waiting for our time! We didn't have a choice! ”

Moonpriest angrily threw a vase to the ground and sat down on a stool.

Hilpa walked over to Moondor's side, took Moondor's head into her arms, and comforted, "All adversity will come to an end!" As long as the Wei people don't interfere, we can quickly eliminate the opposition! Hmph, although our army suffered great losses in this war, the elites lost were basically the Western Expeditionary Army and the Dongzhen Army, while the North Town Army did not suffer any losses! ”

Yueduo took a deep breath in Hilpa's bosom, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Just cede the Ruti Fortress!" But I'll make the Wei people pay for today's greed! ”

Yue Kefeng waited anxiously in the post house for two days, and finally received the flying pigeon transmission from Yue Duo, and after reading the transmission, Yue Kefeng couldn't help but sigh.

Later, Yue Kefeng asked to see Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has replied! We are willing to cede the Luti Fortress and the two northeastern provinces to the Great Wei! After saying these words, Yue Kefeng seemed to feel that all his strength had been drained.

Cao Cao smiled indifferently, "Very good!" ”

Subsequently, on behalf of Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai consulted with Yue Kefeng on some details, while Cao Cao walked through the small garden in the backyard under the protection of Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

"I didn't expect this war to end so soon!" Looking at the blooming flowers, Cao Cao said with some emotion.

Seven days later, hundreds of thousands of new Kushan troops from the Luti Fortress were scattered out of the fortress with a sense of defeat, and then the Wei Army's Western Regions Legion entered the Luti Fortress, and the soldiers of the Western Regions Legion were very excited, these young people from a small country in the Western Regions were stationed in a place that originally belonged to a powerful empire as conquerors for the first time.

Almost at the same time, the former Kushan Emperor Vesudeva suddenly appeared in the western part of Kushan, and immediately exposed Yueduo's usurpation of the throne, declared Yueduo a traitor, and called on his subjects to rebel.

Just one day later, the Dongzhen Army raised the banner of King Qin in the east.

However, whether it was Wei Sudeva or the Dongzhen Army, they did not march to the Kushan Emperor, the reason is very simple, the Xizhen and Dongzhen armies had paid an extremely heavy price in the previous battles with the Jin and Wei armies, and now the total strength of the Xizhen Army and the Dongzhen Army is not as good as the Beizhen Army in the hands of Yue Kefeng, not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of new troops temporarily recruited in the hands of Yue Kefeng!

Vesudeva's immediate priority was clearly to stabilize her position and recruit at the same time.

On this day, Vesudeva's envoy appeared at the fortress of Green Ridge, and the purpose was self-evident, and Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai to talk with Vesudeva's envoy.

"Your Majesty, Vesudeva wants to ask for our support!" Xi Zhicai came to the backyard to report to Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao was comfortably drinking tea and reading a book.

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "What does Zhicai think we should do?" ”

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we should neither support Vesudeva nor Yueduo!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, then frowned and said, "At present, Yueduo's strength is obviously stronger than that of Vesudeva, will it?" ”

"Your Majesty don't worry! On the surface, the strength of the moon is indeed stronger than that of Vesudeva, but the two are actually equal in strength! After all, Yue Duo's foundation among the people is weak, and although the Xizhen Army and the Dongzhen Army have suffered heavy losses in the previous wars, the war potential they have is very huge! ”

Cao Cao nodded and pondered, "Then our current policy should be to wait and see!" ”

Xi Zhicai smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Ten days later, Xi Zhi came to see Cao Cao again and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, everything is as we expected!" After reaching an agreement with us, Yueduo concentrated his forces and launched a strong attack on Kozhile's Dongzhen army! At first, it went well, but now the two sides are at a stalemate due to Shuksa's Western Army counterattacking from the west! ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Okay, that's the best!" Just let them fight! Let's just do it and don't help each other! Let's talk about the business situation! ”

Xi Zhicai smiled, stretched out two fingers and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, they have been fighting for more than ten days, and we have earned more than two million taels of silver!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked urgently, "It's just earned in the past ten days?" ”

Cao Cao looked a little incredulous, and Xi Zhicai nodded.

"Hahaha, if we continue like this, we will get rich!"

Xi Zhicai said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this stalemate will last for a few more months at most!" Then there are two possibilities, one is that the two sides have to temporarily withdraw their troops because they cannot support the attrition of the battle, and the other is that Vesudeva's army gradually gains the upper hand! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "If it's the first case, let's ignore them and continue to do business: but if it's the second case, we'll have to interfere!" Zhicai, make relevant plans in advance! ”

"Understood." Xi Zhicai promised it.

After dealing with this matter, Cao Cao took Dian Wei and Xu Chu to a small river outside the Green Ridge Fortress according to the original plan, this small river ends in the Green Ridge Wanzhong Mountain, and the section that flows through the east side of the Green Ridge Fortress is thirty-four meters wide, the river water is clear and withdrawn, the flow is gentle, and it is the water source of the entire Green Ridge Fortress and the Green Ridge City.

When they came to the river, the Imperial Forest Army under Dian Wei immediately opened a tight protective net, and Cao Cao immediately began to fish.

In contrast to Cao Cao's comfort, the civil war between Vesudeva and Yueduo has entered a white-hot stage.

The main force led by Yue Kefeng had already attacked the core of the Dongzhen Army, which was located in the southeast of Kushan, with a population of more than 300,000 and a strong city.

Although Yue Kefeng had invaded Simo, his situation in the east was not too rosy, with the remnants of Korile's army still fighting against him, and the allied forces of various tribes joining the campaign against him.

At the same time that Yue Kefeng was unable to obtain a decisive victory, the situation in the west was very unfavorable to Yue Duo, and the Xizhen Army led by Shu Ke Sha had broken through the western fortress that Yue Duo had high hopes for, and the army was directed at the Guishan Emperor's capital Fulousha, Yue Duo ordered Yue Kefeng to end the Eastern Campaign as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he transferred the hundreds of thousands of new troops left in the north back to the imperial capital, at this time Yue Duo could no longer take care of defending the Wei army.

Just when the battle situation was a stalemate, a very bad news for Yue Duo came, Yue Kefeng's main force of the Beizhen Army was ambushed by Ke Rile outside the city of Xian Mo, and suffered heavy losses, and Yue Kefeng himself was also injured, and then Ke Zhi Le recaptured Shen Mo with the cooperation of Nei Ying, these dazzling actions make people wonder if it was a trap at all.
