Sima Ling didn't know that he had changed his identity at this time, from a hunter to a prey, so he wanted to try to get out of Li It's entanglement, and then escape across the river valley.

There are still more than 100 cavalry troops on the opposite side, as long as they escape, the Han army only has infantry troops, and they do not dare to pursue.

However, under the continuous stampede of the river ice, it was already full of cracks, Li itch was entangled again, and the crossbowmen of the Wei army on the opposite side did not dare to cover the shot, but could only watch in amazement as another Han army general came in heavy armor, rushed into the shallow water at great speed, and then led the crowd to join the fight calmly!

And what happened next made everyone stunned - I saw Sima Ling struggling in the water and trying to get up, while Zhang Teng, who was burly and unable to use his weapons, simply abandoned the long soldier in his hand and pressed Sima Ling with a heavy armor, this is a foot battle, even if Sima Ling has the ability to pass through the gods, but without the long soldier, he is entangled by two juniors, and the armor is not as good, but it is a dilemma everywhere!

As for Li Qi, who had his hands free, he took the opportunity to pick up a shield, and then smashed it on top of Sima Ling.

Only Li Yi was injured, and after smashing it, he still couldn't cause much damage to Sima Ling, so he had no choice but to smash it indiscriminately!

The Wei army was in a panic, and countless Wei troops tried to cross the river directly to save despite the water cold, but they crossed the river in a hurry, how could they come easily, and after walking a few steps, someone slipped directly, the ice broke open, and it was difficult to get up again when they sank into the water.

In other words, Sima Ling is really brave, he was pressed by the two Han generals, he still struggled non-stop, and forcibly raised his head from time to time, but as soon as he raised his head, the two generals behind him would exert force again and press again, this farce lasted for a quarter of an hour before it completely stopped moving.

At this time, on both sides of the strait, countless Wei and Han armies had already gathered.

Others didn't mention it, Sima Yan fled naked on the other side of the river, surrounded by his own war horses, knowing that he was safe, and he had already come back to his senses, but at this time, he saw his uncle from afar, Sima Shi's martial arts suffered this bad luck, but he couldn't do anything, but he completely lost his voice, trembling all over, like losing his liver and gall!

In this battle, he lost too many things!

The honor and military exploits are gone, and even the results of the previous battle, after this battle, I am afraid that they will all have to be discarded, but at this time, he can only do nothing, so he can only give an order to withdraw the army, as for Sima Ling, he can't care about it!

Although Sima Ling fell into the hands of the enemy because he saved him, Sima Ling could do without Sima Ling, but he couldn't do without him Sima Yan!

……

Yang Yi only got the news in the evening, and her first reaction to this was naturally a little surprised, because she couldn't understand why Sima Yan escaped and Sima Ling was arrested?

But soon, when he learned more detailed information, Yang Yi had no extra thoughts, on the battlefield, when the trend was reversed, it was often the cowardly who survived and those who had the courage to die.

Sima Ling was sent into the city, and his martial arts powers were not displayed at all, so he was abolished, in exchange for the credit of Li Qi and Zhang Teng, although everyone was a little disappointed that they could not capture Sima Yan.

According to Sima Yan's performance today, once he takes it, it is likely to be captured alive, and then there will be too much room for maneuver, and the significance is extraordinary; But no matter what, after this great victory, there is such a victory, from the capture of high-ranking officers of the Wei army to the annihilation of the number of the main force of the Wei army, the results of this battle are still nothing to say.

And it stands to reason that at this time, Yang Yi should sit down and exchange feelings with these famous and surnamed 'famous generals' around him now, discuss the meaning of this battle, and collect a wave of loyalty after rewarding meritorious deeds and making wishes, and maybe he can also chant a 'poem'.

But in fact, Yang Yi didn't have time or time to do this, so she fell into a new problem - the war was still going on, and she had to use the political influence and military opportunity of this adventurous attack to consolidate the current results.

And this will inevitably involve the issue of strategic choice.

Looking back now, in this war between the Han and Wei countries, Yang Yi's strategy at the beginning was not without problems, the preparation of the Han State was sufficient, and the response was fast enough; But relatively speaking, the Wei army succeeded in ambushing the Wu army in Xiangcheng and forced back the Wu army peeping at Xiangcheng; Then he quickly marched westward, captured Nanxiang City, and moved forward to choke the key point of Yunxian.

forced Guan Yi to risk his life to defend the Han River and fight for the fortune of the country, no matter what the outcome of this battle was, the Wei army had no problem strategically.

So back to the present, the problem that Yang Yi must face now is actually very simple, next, where is the direction of the three armies?

Back in front of him, Yang Yiliu Zhang Teng, Li Qi and the rest of the officers who performed well today had some meals in the hall together, and then asked these people to go back to appease the subordinates, recuperate and rest, but left behind the four bachelors who came from the army this time, including Ma Ting and Chen Shou, as well as the three generals of Yi, Jiang Bin and Luo Shang.

In fact, Chen Shou and the others had already taken the initiative to get up and avoid the table...... They stayed here because they followed Yang Yi all the way from Liangzhou to here, mainly to rule the scribe group, but they were not qualified to participate in strategic decisions, especially when this decision needed to be made quickly, and they couldn't spend time discussing it in detail.

"It's easy!" Chen Shougang was together, Guan Yi took the ben and said directly: "Nanyang is impossible to go......"

"Why can't Nanyang go?" Unexpectedly, as soon as Guan Yi spoke, he was interrupted by a person, and everyone followed the reputation, but saw that it was Ma Ting.

In other words, Guan Yi didn't mention the resentment he had saved for three months today, the key was to see Yang Yi come in person, knowing that Yang Yi didn't care about that secret, and he really regarded him as a confidant, so he was already excited and inexplicable, with the meaning of the death of a confidant.

Yang Yi personally gave him the right to rule, and Guan Yi also resembled Naizu, and he directly showed his boss's face when dealing with Jiang Bin, Luo Shang and the officers of various departments, when he disposed of the division of military affairs, there was actually no problem, he was the only two generals here, his status, qualifications, official positions, and even real saints were far superior to Luo Shang and Jiang Bin, so dare to ask him who he would not deal with?

However, for civil officials, Guan Yi still has to give some face.

After a pause, Guan Yi still made a little explanation: "Brother doesn't know, we are a little unsafe one-on-one today, and there are at least 10,000 horsemen in the Wei army, and I am afraid that there are still a considerable number of infantry troops in all parts of the Wei army today, and they are all led by famous generals such as Deng Ai, how can they go to Nanyang?" What's more, after this battle, our soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. ”

"It's not all." The generals also showed a lot of respect for Ma Ting, the only high-ranking civilian official in the seat. "In fact, the logistics of maintaining the number of soldiers and horses of our army have now reached the limit, although they have to be captured, but the grain and grass are still a little poor, but the Quartet is still not at peace at the moment, so if you want to attack Nanyang Wancheng, you can only seek a quick victory, and once you can't succeed, you will be broken by the Quartet Wei army on the way."

Since Jiang Bin spoke, Luo Shang naturally couldn't help but hesitate at this time...... It was the first time he had come into contact with a meeting at this level, and before in Liangzhou, Yang Yi decided everything in one word, he just needed to obey the order, as if there was no one to hinder him, so he was happy!

But when I calmed down today and looked around carefully, I found that I was the lowest, the least qualified, and the youngest here, and even Guan Yi was here, and he might not even dare to boast of his military level, so it seemed that it didn't make much sense to say anything.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Luo Shang still cautiously reminded Ma Ting, after all, he could be regarded as having lived and died together, and he had some friendship:

"Brother Ma, with all due respect, today's victory cannot be easily repeated; Today's thing is that our army is weak, the fighters are lost, there is no grasp, and seeing that the overall situation is going to be bad, His Majesty is alone here, and the edict of the three armies is a desperate move, and this battle is won, but Nanyang is the hinterland of the Wei army, and if it can't win quickly, it will fall into the quagmire. ”

“……”

Ma Ting didn't say anything at this time, he was actually just speaking for Yang Yi, for fear that these generals, after winning once, would swell, so he asked a question, but he didn't think about the three generals, as if they understood it very well!

Guan Yi continued to speak at this time: "Actually, General Xiao Luo and Jiang Dudu have already spoken very insightful before......

Jiang Bin was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help but interject.

"That is, although the battle was won, the troops were damaged and the supply was limited; Second, Nanyang connects the north and the south, and if it is occupied, it must be guarded by most soldiers and horses. ”

Guan Yi held his head high, and finally continued his speech during the banquet: "And if this is the case, if you send troops again, you must be careful, it is absolutely impossible to go to Nanyang, although you win today, the minister still wants to say that Nanyang is really difficult to win; But the rest to the east, west, and north are all feasible. ”

Everyone went to see Yang Yi on the main seat at this time, but unexpectedly saw that Yang Yi was looking up at the skylight above his head at this time, but this did not delay him from lowering his head calmly at this time, and his slight color was opposite:

"Let's talk about it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guan Yi hurriedly continued. "To the east, it is natural to pursue Sima Yan, Sima Yan has lost his heart after this defeat, plus Sima Ling, Chen Qian, and Wen Yang were all captured, although they still have tens of thousands of troops, they may not be able to take advantage of the situation to pursue...... This strategy is also the least risky, but once successful, it can completely end the Wei army's conquest. ”

"It's good that Chen Qian and Wen Yang were captured, but what about Deng Ai?" Yang Yi thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask seriously.

"Deng Ai is not impossible." Guan Yi laughed at each other at this time. "But his soldiers and horses are the remnants of the remaining soldiers in Sima Yan's hands before him, and the minister had told His Majesty to be careful of Sima Ling, not only because this person has the courage to fight, but also because this person is Sima Yan's uncle.

And now, without the courage of Sima Ling, and without the assistance of generals such as Wenyang and Chen Qian, what if Sima Yan still has 100,000 soldiers in his hands; Therefore, if our army marches and persecutes at a rapid pace tomorrow, he may not have the courage to fight! ”

And Jiang Bin and Luo Shang, and even Ma Ting, Chen Shou and others, all bowed their heads at this time.

"As for going west, it is to eat in the west of the enemy, unite with the governor of Hanzhong Jiang, and besiege the old capital." Guan Yi continued. "If this is actually done, it is a foolproof strategy, but it is inevitably a bit risky."

Yang Yi bowed his head again: "What about going north?" ”

"To the north is actually not to the north, but the intention of the army to sweep the land of Hebei and relieve the siege of the cities." Guan Yi became a little serious. "But you must first go east and force the Wei army to defend Xiangcheng, then you can recapture Nanxiang in the north, take the three counties as the rear tun, and confront the Wei State!"

Yang Yi understood in his heart, but smiled again: "Which one do you think is better?" ”

"Of course, the minister's selfish heart is to go west and subdue the old capital, which is the wish of all the people in the world!" Guan Yi sighed slightly. "But in terms of the overall situation, it is still to the north, that is, to re-deploy in Nanxiang, which is a long-term strategy."

"What about Jiang Qing and Luo Qing?" Yang Yi asked again.

Jiang Bin was speechless and motioned for Luo Shang to speak first.

"The minister is the same as General Guan, the minister is originally from Jingzhou, and he also hopes that the world will be settled early, and his selfish intention is also to go west and subdue the old capital!" Luo Shang immediately stood up and bowed, and then said: "But from the perspective of the safety of Sheji, it is better to go north and force the Wei army to withdraw its troops." ”

"Jiang Qing."

"The minister's selfishness is also to the west, but for the sake of the country and the society, it should be to the north." Jiang Bin immediately got up and gave up his hand, and then said.

"The minister has been fighting with the Wei army for the longest time today, and he has also had a lot of dealings with the Wei State and the Sima clan with my father before, and it is true that Sima Yan has lost his heart, and it is also true that Deng Ai has been abandoned and excluded, but the minister thinks that this time is also safe!"

"What do you think...... Regardless of the military, only from the overall situation, to the east, to the west, to the north? Yang Yifu looked at Ma Ting and the others again.

"To the west!" At this time, it was Chen Shou who suddenly simply gave up his hand to answer. "Your Majesty has already led the army, this battle is a big victory, you should take advantage of the victory to pursue, if you get the old capital, then the world can be determined."

Yang Yi bowed slightly, but looked at a person again, that is, Ma Ting, who had been thinking about something.

However, Ma Ting did not speak for a long time at this time, but sat still.

In this regard, Yang Yi did not urge, just waited quietly, and the rest of the people had no choice but to be silent.

I don't know how long I waited, before Ma Ting got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it should go north!" ”

"Why?"

"Only to the north! Although it is victorious now, but for Wei, it can still gather 100,000 troops and 200,000 troops, and our country is weak, although it has won consecutive victories so far, it is difficult to lose a defeat, and a defeat will be ten years of failure! Ma Ting replied calmly.

"Well said."

Yang Yi, who had not removed his armor, seemed to have expected such a reply, so he stood up with his sword and responded calmly.

"I have made up my mind, Jiang Bin left his headquarters to be stationed in the three counties, overseeing the civil and military affairs of the three counties, relieving the siege of the cities, and pacifying the land and the people; And early tomorrow morning, Guan Yi is the positive, Luo Shang is the auxiliary, immediately lead the troops to the north, unite the departments, attack Nanxiang, pursue Sima Yan, and I will return to Hanzhong, and this matter will be handed over to Zhuqing! ”

Since all the generals know the overall situation, Yang Yi doesn't need to be replaced, otherwise he will have to change the generals who are willing to sacrifice and endure to come to the Eastern Front.

The current national strength of the Han State is not enough to support the two-front battle, even after digesting the three counties next year, and the two counties of Longxi and Tianshui in Liangzhou, it will not be able to.
