Chapter 557 The enemy army retreats outside Huai County
Maybe it was because he saw that Cao Ren was worried at this time, so Sima Yi smiled again and said, "If Yi expected it was good, please clean up early, and people would come to Luoyang to let the army retreat soon!"
Cao Ren was stunned when he heard this, thinking that someone from Luoyang came to retreat? Let the army retreat? This, let alone, it is really impossible, it is just...
"I wonder, how can I see this?"
It’s not that Cao Ren doesn’t believe it, but this matter is really too much. He can’t think anything Sima Yi said is true. After all, Sima Yi didn’t tell the reason, so Cao Ren really couldn’t believe it.
So Sima Yi really told Cao Ren what he thought and analyzed it was very clear. After Cao Ren heard it, he said, "If it is really like what the teacher said, then it is really..."
Sima Yi said to Cao Ren: "Of course, this is just Yi's guess, and it may not be true. Believe it or not, and Yi said goodbye!"
"Sir, go slowly!"
As he said that, Cao Ren wanted to get up and see Sima Yi off, but Sima Yi smiled and said, "General, stay, stay!"
Sima Yi didn't ask Cao Ren to send him out of the tent at all, because for Sima Yi, Cao Ren was not so polite to him. Although he was a child of a large family, he was not only young, but also a white person. However, Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao were not only Cao Mengde's capable general, but also an important general of the Yanzhou Army. He is now the commander of 20,000 soldiers. He didn't help him Cao Zixiao, so he didn't need to be too polite to him.
Cao Ren had no choice. Judging from Sima Yi's attitude, he also knew that the more capable a person is, the more strange his personality may be. Anyway, that's what he meant.
So he really doesn't want Sima Yi to be too difficult. After all, if he goes against his will and is unhappy in the end, it will be of no benefit to him. It is now that Sima Yi is just a white person, and he is not as good as him in the world. However, from Cao Ren's perspective, he probably will deal with this person in the future, so he dare not ignore him and dare not neglect him.
At this time, Cao Ren had to bow to Sima Yi and said, "Greatly send me a gift!"
Those who don’t know thought Sima Yi was an important person. But in fact, he was just a boy who was not yet twenty years old. Of course, with his ability, he would definitely make his mark in the world sooner or later!
Sima Yi left, and no one knew where he went. When he left, only Cao Ren and Wang Yi knew, and no one else knew.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sure enough, less than two days later, Cao Hong arrived at Huai County, the camp of the Yanzhou Army.
After seeing Cao Hong, Cao Ren knew that Sima Yi really made a mistake in this matter. Otherwise, what else could Cao Hong do here?
At this time, in Cao Ren's tent, Cao Hong said: "Brother, the lord has an order to ask you to withdraw your troops immediately and return to Luoyang!"
Cao Ren smiled and asked, "What's going on in Luoyang?"
Cao Ren meant to ask. There must be a reason why the lord let the army retreat. He didn't think that it was because his lord didn't want to go to war with the Liangzhou army, so he ordered the army to retreat. Based on Cao Ren's understanding of Cao Cao, he knew that he was definitely not that kind of person.
So Cao Hong told his elder brother about what happened in Luoyang, after all, he knew it clearly.
When Cao Ren heard this, he thought that 50,000 stones of grain and grass were exchanged for his retreat. At least he did not lose anything, but Ma Mengqi wanted to take out 50,000 stones of grain and grass. At this moment, Cao Ren was much more balanced, and since his lord had the order, then retreated, everything was as expected. Or if Sima Yi was right, it was true, and that was right.
Although Sima Yi did not say that Ma Chao wanted to send Li Hui to negotiate peace, he said that Ma Mengqi was likely to send people to Luoyang to negotiate the withdrawal of troops.
So this confrontation between the Yanzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army ended with Cao Ren's retreat. Of course, the two sides suffered no losses. If so, it would be that Ma Chao would take out 50,000 stones of grain and grass, and nothing else would be fine.
Then on the second day, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Wang Yi and others returned to Luoyang with their army. This time, the Yanzhou army entered Huai County was over.
-----------------------------------------------------
Seeing that the Yanzhou army withdrew, Ma Chao was in a good mood. After all, the two sides did not meet in real swords and guns, which was better than anything else. If they were fighting with the Yanzhou army like this, to be honest, Ma Chao felt that it was really not worth it and there was no need at all. So Ma Chao thought it was very worth it for him to trade 50,000 stones of grain and grass for a peaceful solution to the matter. Li Hui had come back before, so Ma Chao certainly knew the price of withdrawal that the two sides negotiated in the end.
But what Ma Chao didn't know from the beginning to the end was that Sima Yi had been in the Yanzhou army before, so this was something he didn't understand. Fortunately, no matter how he was not plotted by Sima Yi this time, he might have suffered a loss, or he might have suffered a loss. After all, to be honest, Li Hui is definitely not as good as Sima Yi.
After all, Sima Yi is definitely one of the best people among the Three Kingdoms. Without mentioning anything else, just talking about Cao Cao, Sun Quan, or Liu Bei's uncle, the three of them have fought for so many years and fought to the death. What is it for? Isn't it just so that they can unify the world again?
But in the end, no one did it, and it was not because Sima Yi's descendants did it. This foundation was indeed the foundation of Wei State, but it has to be said that it was the foundation laid by Sima Yi for his descendants, so Sima Yi is not a character yet.
Unfortunately, Ma Chao didn't know that Sima Yi was here before, otherwise he would pay more attention. However, by this time, everyone had already left, and Cao Ren and the others had withdrawn their troops, so he could never know again.
At this time, Ma Chao always calmed down and there was no war. The only thing left was the last Henan Yin in the Sili counties. As long as this place was taken, all Sili would be in his hands. Cao Cao from Luoyang was his biggest obstacle now.
For Ma Chao, he said that he was concerned about Cao Cao and his Yanzhou army. He had been waiting for an opportunity, that is, the news of moving the capital. As long as Cao Cao moved the capital of the Han Dynasty from Luoyang to Xuxian, then that would be the day for him to send troops. Even if he had a few battles with Cao Cao's Yanzhou army in Luoyang, he had to take Luoyang down. In Luoyang, he was bound to win.
As for the fact that Liu Xie can only wait for him to leave Luoyang, this is an opportunity, because if Liu Xie has been in Luoyang, then Ma Chao would not be able to advance. Why is this happening? Ma Chao is not afraid of anything else. However, if Liu Xie is in Luoyang, even if he advances, he is not interested in Liu Xie at all, but Cao Cao may not know that, so if that happens, he will not fight with him.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao stationed troops in Huai County, waiting for the opportunity to enter Luoyang.
As for Cao Cao, who was still in Luoyang, the war in Huai County was over at this time. The war between the Yanzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army had come to an end. At this time, Cao Cao had already set his sights on Runan County in Yuzhou.
Runan is not his territory of Yuan Shu, but the territory of the Yellow Turban. Cao Cao actually always wanted this place. He didn't have much space before, and the war in Huai County was over. Now he and his brother Meng Qi are temporarily "not surround the river", so he should reach out to Runan.
After all, the capital will be moved to Xu County by then, and Xu County is in Yingchuan County in Yuzhou. Runan County and Yingchuan County are adjacent. Therefore, before Cao Cao moved to Xu County, he believed that it was indeed necessary to solve the Yellow Turban Army in Runan.
In order to take Runan, Cao Cao first sent an envoy to Runan. After all, if the Yellow Turban Remnants of Runan could surrender to him, it would be the best. The result was not satisfactory. He Man, the leader of the Yellow Turban Remnants of Runan, and Huang Shao, etc., did not want to surrender to Cao Cao at all, and had no intention at all. And that didn't count. In the end, he directly cut off the ears of the envoy sent by Cao Cao and let the man return to Luoyang like this.
When Cao Cao saw the messenger who came back, he was really angry. He thought that thieves were thieves. Don’t you know that “two countries fight each other and don’t kill them”? How much hatred is this? The key is that this is humiliation, naked/naked/naked humiliation. In Cao Cao’s opinion, this is the Yellow Turban rebel who humiliated himself in front of the world, and directly slapped himself in the face. So when he was humiliated, he had to destroy this person.
As a result, Cao Cao sent 30,000 troops to attack the Yellow Turbans in Runan. For Cao Cao, if they didn't destroy them, they would really treat themselves as their Yanzhou army and would be bullied. How dare they humiliate themselves like this? You see, you really don't want to fight the Liangzhou army now, but it doesn't mean that they can't fight the Yellow Turbans. So Cao Cao finally resolutely sent troops, asking Xiahou Dun, Li Dian, Le Jin and Yu Jin to lead the troops to Runan to destroy the Yellow Turbans.
