On this day, Yan He, Sun Yun, Wu Gui and others were discussing how to draft a victory document in the lobby of the county governor's house.
Although the task of annihilating the main force of the Han army has not been completed, after all, the powerful enemy was able to retreat without a fight, and the five fallen cities were recovered. In this way, this can be regarded as a big victory, so Yan He and others are ready to win against Cao Zhen .
It's just that how to write this victory document needs to be carefully considered. After all, the Han army retreated on its own, and Yan He and others hurriedly arrived but had not yet taken up the battle. In this way, there is not so much to talk about in terms of military achievements.
Secondly, although Sun Yun and other Feng Yi officials lost three cities in the early stage, they still saved the county and came to Jin Dynasty, which can be regarded as a meritorious service in defending the land. Therefore, the distribution of credit among local officials and reinforcements is also a big problem. , need to be negotiated carefully by both parties.
Everyone deliberated for a while, and finally came to a rough conclusion. They were about to ask the county chief to draft a report of victory, when suddenly an envoy from the Border Leopard came back to report the military situation.
"General Yan, did General Bian and the others catch up with Yang Qing and then sent an envoy back to the city to report?" Sun Yun said with a smile.
With the regulations for reporting the victory, Yan He was in a very happy mood. He nodded and said with a smile: "That should be the case. Hey, as long as the generals bite the Shu thieves tightly, our army will have a chance to annihilate them. By then, we will give everyone a chance." The general's report of victory was much easier to write than today."
"Haha, what the general said is true." Sun Yun said: "If we can defeat Yang Qing and the Shu army in one fell swoop, the general will definitely be famous all over the world. By then, not only will the general be heavily rewarded, but even the emperor will be rewarded. Get off."
After a pause, he raised his hands and continued: "If you really bite the Shu army, please ask General Yan to let me also do my part. Although I, Feng Yi, have five generals serving in front of the army, we people can't do it." I cannot sit idle in the city, but I am willing to live and die for the king."
Yan He understood that what Sun Yun meant was that he wanted Feng Yi and his officials to share some of the credit in the battle to annihilate Yang Qing's army. In his opinion, this was a matter of course. If the victory was great enough, he would not mind sharing the credit. Giving some to these local officials can also be regarded as a good relationship.
"Easy to say, easy to say. The elimination of the Shu thieves cannot be achieved without the full support of Lord Feng Yi."
Upon hearing the guarantee, Sun Yun and other Feng Yi officials were immediately overjoyed and kept thanking Yan He. Everyone chatted for a while, and after a while Bian Bao's envoy was brought into the hall by the guards.
"What did General Bian say when he asked you to come back?" Yan He asked immediately after verifying the envoy's identity.
The envoy hurriedly replied: "To General Yan, my general has asked me to come back and report that the Shu army has turned east and headed straight for Hongnong County."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Didn't the Bianbao lead his troops and horses to the west to pursue the Han army? Why did the Han army suddenly run to the east again?
Yan He hurriedly asked: "What happened? Why did the Shu thieves turn around and return?"
"General Bian has a letter here. The general will know after reading it."
After saying that, the envoy took out a wooden box sealed with fire paint and gold seals from his arms. The guard quickly stepped forward to take it and handed it to Yan He.
Yan He opened the wooden box in a few seconds, took out the letters inside and read them quickly.
Only then did he realize that he and others had fallen into the trap of the Han army. The Han army's escape to the west was just a false shot. After they ran to Beidi, they circled back from the north. At this moment, they were attacking Hongnong County. go.
"Alas, I fell into Yang Qing's trick!" Yan He shouted in annoyance.
Sun Yun asked anxiously: "General Yan, what happened?"
"Master, please take a look at it yourself." Yan He handed the letter to Sun Yun and sighed to himself: "Oh, it seems that the victory document we have agreed upon cannot be sent out, so we should think about how to draft it. A letter of apology."
Sun Yun was also frightened after reading this. He never imagined that the Han army was actually attacking from the west and attacking from the east, and actually had the idea of attacking Hongnong from the east.
Hongnong used to be the hinterland of Sizhou, that is, Luoyang. If the Han army was allowed to start a war in Sizhou, the Emperor of Heaven would be furious, and by then he and others would not be able to escape their involvement.
Thinking of this, Sun Yun broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly said to Yan He: "General Yan, please think of a way to stop the Shu army. They must not be allowed to go deep into the hinterland of Sizhou to disturb the emperor. If the emperor is angry, we will wait. He will definitely be severely punished, and even if he loses his official position, his life will be in danger."
At this time, everyone in the hall already knew the general situation. Thinking of the serious consequences of the Han army invading Sizhou, they were all frightened and sweating. You and I panicked every word.
"Okay, shut up, General. The sky won't fall. What are you doing?"
Yan He shouted to stop the panic in the hall. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked the envoy: "Is this the only letter your general has sent?"
"My general also said that the Shu army should still be in the northern territory of Feng Yi, and there is still a long way to go before entering Hongnong.
Therefore, he wanted to ask the general to quickly send troops to intercept at the junction of Feng Yi and Hongnong. If he was lucky, he might be able to stop the Shu army. Even if they fail to stop them, they can immediately pursue them and join forces with the Hongnong County soldiers to encircle and annihilate the Shu army. "
Yan He thought that this was indeed the only way to minimize the consequences, so he nodded and said: "I see, I know. You go back immediately and tell General Bian that I will lead 5,000 infantry to march towards Hong Kong under the stars and at night." Please rush over to Nong and ask him to come quickly."
"No." The messenger accepted the order with clasped fists, then walked out of the room and returned to his own life.
"Master Sun Fu, I will lead the troops and set off immediately. Please write two letters immediately, one to Hongnong County to let them prepare early, and one to General Chang'an to inform the general."
Sun Yun naturally understood that such a major matter could not be concealed. Only by reporting it to Cao Zhen as soon as possible could the responsibility be reduced to the greatest extent, so he handed over his hand and said: "Don't worry, general, I will draft the letter myself right now."
"General Wu, after I leave, Linjin will be left to you. You must be more vigilant to prevent Yang Qing from making another false shot and suddenly killing him back to Linjin." Thinking of Yang Qing's unstructured military style, Yan He He warned Wu Gui again.
Wu Gui cupped his fists and replied: "Don't worry, General Yan, I will always be vigilant."
"Okay, so I'm relieved."
What was originally a pleasant discussion ended here. Yan He immediately rushed back to the military camp, ordered his troops and horses, and rushed towards Hongnong. At this moment, he could only urge the sergeant to speed up his pace while praying silently, praying that God would be on his side this time.
But it is said that after Sun Yun listened to Yan He's instructions, he immediately wrote two emergency documents and ordered his confidants to rush 600 miles to Chang'an and Hongnong.
Linjin was only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an. The envoy changed horses and traveled twice the route, and arrived in Chang'an in only one day and one night.
Cao Zhen was shocked and angry when he learned what had happened. He was afraid that the Han army's eastward march into the hinterland of Sizhou would cause riots in Luoyang and the anger of the Wei Emperor, so he immediately wrote a personal letter to Yan He, strictly ordering him to stop the Han army in Hong Kong. In rural areas, we must not let the war burn to the east again.
"Yang Qing is indeed as cunning as a fox, and he is erratic in fighting. It seems that Yan He and the others are indeed no match for Yang Qing. It is probably impossible to annihilate him." Cao Zhen sighed helplessly.
Yan Fei on the side comforted him: "It is a credit to General Yan that they were able to block Yang Qing from Feng Yi and Hongnong this time. To deal with such resourceful people as Yang Qing, the general must personally take action to succeed. "
"Haha, Yan Fujun is right. It seems that someone thought too simply before. If they want to defeat Yang Qing, Yan He and the others are still a little immature. Anyway, as long as Yan He can control Yang Qing's cavalry under Feng Qing Yi Xianxian, even if his rescue this time was not in vain."
Yan Fei deeply agreed with this and kept nodding: "Yes, I have learned about Yang Qing's life. This person is indeed a very difficult opponent. Fortunately, he was separated to the north and could not join forces with Zhuge Liang and the others. otherwise the pressure on me would be even greater.”
"Well, right now we still have to focus our energy on Zhuge Liang. This thief is even more difficult to deal with than Yang Qing."
Yan Fei echoed: "The general is right."
