Sima An snorted coldly and said expressionlessly: "If we had taken precautions in advance, there would not have been such unnecessary losses! ... Those who neglect their duties will be punished forty!"

Ji Yan apologized with a sly look on his face, and then said cautiously: "General, the weather has been too cold recently, can you remember it first and wait until next spring to punish it together?"

Hearing this, Sima An looked Ji Yan up and down and asked flatly: "Is that dereliction of duty a relative of yours?"

"No, no, how dare the general show favoritism?" Ji Yan quickly explained, then lowered his voice and said: "He is the son of a soldier who died in our army..."

Sima An was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice: "On the 20th of the battle, remember that next spring, if it happens again, the punishment will be double!"

"Yes, yes..."

Ji Yan smiled and nodded.

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were undergoing training, and said with emotion: "Those little brats back then have now grown up one by one..."

After hearing this, Sima An's cold face showed a little warmth.

All armies in the world have suffered casualties, no matter the Dangshan Army back then or the Hanoi Army today. Fortunately, the Wei State is now rich and powerful, and the monarch Zhao Run is particularly generous to the soldiers, making those who once

The heirs of soldiers who died in battle can all be taken care of and grow up gradually.

Sima An was sincerely proud when he saw those former cubs inheriting his father's legacy and resolutely joining his Hanoi army when they grew up.

After the morning exercises, the thousands of Hanoi soldiers returned to the city one after another. At this time, Sima An and Ji Yan walked into the city side by side.

During this period, Ji Yan couldn't help but said: "I don't know how the war is going in Daliang..."

After hearing this, Sima An's face darkened.

Even though he had a big conflict with Zhao Run at first, later on, he not only gradually recognized the latter, but also firmly believed that this was a hero who was destined to make his country of Wei become more and more powerful.

Because of this, Sima An was shocked when he learned a while ago that the monarch Zhao Run actually chose to go to Daliang to resist the coalition forces of more than one million countries.

"How can the ministers of the imperial court sit back and watch His Majesty personally commit danger?!" Sima An exclaimed at that time.

It is undeniable that Sima An was also worried about the situation of Daliang, but in comparison, he was more worried about his monarch in Wei.

Song County fell, Yingshui County fell, what does this mean? Wei still has elite troops to regain the lost territory!

On the contrary, if we lose that monarch, it will be a disaster!

It's a pity that he is far away in Linwei, nearly a thousand miles away from Daliang, and there is no way to dissuade him. What's more, he was ordered to guard Linwei and beware of Qin.

"Speaking of Qin... It is said that Concubine Qin has gone to Xianyang several times to negotiate with the King of Qin. I don't know what the current attitude of Qin is." Ji Yan asked curiously.

"..."

Sima An said nothing.

In the entire Hexi County, he was the only person who knew the overall strategic plan of the monarch Zhao Run. Therefore, a while ago, Bai Fangming, Ji Yan and other subordinates were confused as to why Qin State did not delay sending troops to support Wei State in resisting other countries.

During the alliance, Sima An never expressed his views.

Because he knew that the monarch of Wei had never thought of asking for reinforcements from Qin.

It's just that he couldn't say what was in his heart. After all, if it were leaked, it would most likely make the Qin State angry. At this time, he didn't know that the Qin State had actually learned the truth.

Back at the county mansion, Sima An had breakfast and then read military books in the study.

Whenever he picked up those military books, he couldn't help but want to laugh, because several of the authors of these military books were his generation, such as Xu Yin, Zhu Hai, Baili Ba and others.

Among the military books written by these three former colleagues, he was most keen to read the military books written by Zhu Hai - not because he thought Zhu Hai wrote well, but because he wanted to find fault.

I remember that two years ago, he picked out several ambiguous loopholes in Zhu Hai's military book. He wrote a special letter about this, carefully wrote the errors on paper, and sent someone to send it to Zhu Hai.

Hai's house was disgusted with the latter.

It didn't take long for him to receive a reply from Zhu Hai, which contained a lot of filthy curse words. However, Sima An was not annoyed after reading it, but actually laughed, because it was not difficult for him to imagine that the idiot was receiving his reply.

After writing the letter, what kind of ugly look did he have?

"A guy like Zhu Hai actually has the nerve to write a book. Your Majesty is so tolerant..."

While muttering, Sima An flipped through Zhu Hai's military book.

Perhaps due to the lesson learned last time, Zhu Hai's "Annotations on Military Pictures" was written in such detail and meticulousness that Sima An couldn't find any loopholes that could be used to defeat Zhu Hai after reading it briefly.

.

This made him a little angry.

Just as he was carefully pondering this military book, a voice suddenly shouted outside the study: "General! General! Yueyang has been captured! Yueyang has been captured!"

"..."

Sima An was stunned for a moment, put down the military book in his hand, stood up, opened the door and asked the soldier who was stopped by his guard: "What... did you just say?"

Only then did he realize that the soldier standing outside the study seemed to be a Quhou (five-hundred-man general).

"The last general is Quhou, a subordinate of General Wu Lou. Four days ago, Qin's Yangquan Jun Yingba led his army to sneak attack on Yueyang... At that time, in the name of supporting our country, the Qin army passed Yueyang on the pretext that food and grass had not arrived.

General Wu Lou asked me for food and grass from Yueyang, so he opened the city and sent people to deliver food to the Qin army. Unexpectedly, the Qin army suddenly launched an offensive and captured the city..."

"What?"

Sima An's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this, he frowned and asked, "Where is Wu Lou?"

The Quhou clasped his fists and whispered: "General Wu Lou was almost defenseless and was captured by the Qin army. He does not know whether he is alive or dead..."

"This idiot!"

Sima An cursed bitterly.

Wu Lou was an old man who came from the Dangshan Army. He was once a deputy general under Wen Xu Zhang. Although he was not very brave, he was good at doing things carefully. Therefore, Sima An sent him to garrison Yueyang.

Unexpectedly, the Qin army captured the city so easily.

After taking a deep breath, Sima An gradually calmed down.

In fact, he also understood that Wu Lou was not to blame for this matter. After all, Wei and Qin were still in an alliance. Who would have thought that Qin would go to war without declaring a war and send troops to its allies? - This made Sima An a little bit a little bit.

Surprised, what was the reason that caused the Qin State to ignore its country's reputation and start an undeclared war against the Wei State.

However, this idea only flashed through his mind for a moment.

After all, he couldn't afford to think about this at the moment.

I saw him immediately giving an order: "Send the order, the whole city is under martial law, and prepare to fight the Qin army!... In addition, quickly send people to "Pin Yang", "Lian Shao", "Chongquan", call Bai Fangming, Pang Meng

, Nie Ji, Ma Lu and others should be more vigilant, don’t let the Qin army..."

Just as he said this, he saw another soldier running from a distance. After seeing Sima An standing outside the study, he shouted in shock: "General, something bad has happened. The "Lotus Spoon" has been taken by Lord Qin Yangquan.

Win the attack and capture..."

"...Damn it!"

Sima An, who had always been calm and composed, felt frightened and angry at the moment.

What was shocking was that before the battle started, two county towns in Hexi County were successfully attacked by the Qin army, and it was unknown whether there would be follow-ups. What was angry was that the Qin people actually chose to fight without declaring the war and raise unjust troops.

.

"mean!"

After scolding angrily, he turned back to the study to get his sword, and then strode out of the study.

"Pass my order to all the generals in the city to come to the council hall to discuss the war within a quarter of an hour!"
Chapter completed!
