A bloody battle under Xuchang City finally repelled the coalition forces of Wu and Shu. This is something worth celebrating for the Wei lord Cao Huan, the court ministers, and even the people in the city. The city was filled with joy and inspiration, and the people were all decorated with lights and colors, just like the New Year.

There was also a big banquet in the palace to celebrate the achievements of Ma Zhao, the Jin company. In addition, the officials in the court and the wealthy families in the city brought good wine and meat to the military camp to reward the three armies. Whether the Wu army and the Shu army were still lingering in their homeland, this victory must be celebrated well.

"Did you hear that? General Hu, the governor of Xuzhou, has sold all his troops, and it seems that he is still lying on the bed and can't get up!"

"I've known this for a long time. What's this? General Dashi and General Xiaoshi were both killed in battle. Do you know this?"

"I passed by General Dashi's mansion in the morning, hey... don't mention it..."

"Mr. Zhong, who went to the Western Shu, seemed to have not been at the celebration banquet, and heard that he was scolded by Duke Jin."

"Speak quietly, you don't know that Lord Zhong..."

The streets and alleys of Xuchang, the wineries and teahouses were filled with various discussions, and there was really too much to say in this battle. Many famous generals in Xuchang City died in battle. The court's commendations and bans were sent to various households, but people could not come back no matter how hard they were.

Women, children, young and old knelt down to thank them, but after the people from the palace left, they still burst into tears. People cannot be resurrected when they die, and sacrifice their lives for the country is Guan Rong, a blessing, but what is left is the orphans and widows who have no support. Some people celebrate the merits, some people reward the army, and more people are crying and observing silence.

Xuchang City is mixed with different emotions, joy or sorrow, and people are constantly sighing that things are impermanent.

The bodies piled up outside the city had to be buried and treated, and the soil had all penetrated into large red. Many soldiers and people who cleaned up the battlefield returned home and vomited for several days. Even if they won the battle, it was too tragic. In particular, none of the corpses hit by a stone were complete. The countless remaining limbs found on the battlefield could not be made into human shapes, so they could only dig a hole and buried them together.

The battle under Xuchang City was won by the Wei army. What about the battle outside Xuchang? The court covered up the news and did not spread it, because the Wei people really needed a refreshing victory. They didn't care about the process, they only looked at the result, no matter how many troops they were damaged, they only looked at the killing of the enemy. This is the general mentality of the whole city.

The Yanzhou Legion and the Yuzhou Legion soon came news that after the front vanguard was defeated by the Shu army, the Yanzhou and Yuzhou Legion were also ambushed by Shu general Pang Hong, and the losses were considerable. The Xiahou Xian, Yang Xiu, and Zhang brothers who had been dispatched behind the Wu people to make movements were all unknown. Only Jia Fu and Wang Qi escaped with more than 2,000 people.

This was another heavy blow. After this battle, the troops in Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou were greatly damaged and they were no longer able to move.

The surface celebration only stabilizes the hearts of the ruling people. After the celebration banquet, people with real talents gathered together at the residence of Ma Zhao, the Jin company. The rewards in the court were just a cloud of clouds. The real rewards on merit and distribution of power were held in the residence of Duke Jin.

Although Yanzhou and Yuzhou suffered heavy losses, they still had the capital to protect the territory and the people. Xuzhou was not so optimistic. Xuzhou Governor Hu Fen abides by military orders and is still fighting hard among more than 100,000 thieves, and he cannot afford to be seriously injured. This is a reward for the reward.

The imperial doctor in the palace and precious medicinal materials were sent to the residence of Duke Jin. The place where Xuzhou governor Hu Fen was recuperating was placed in the residence of Duke Jin. This was honor and Sima's recognition of Hu Fen. As long as Hu Fen could survive, he would enter the center of power of the Sima family from then on.

The governor of Xuzhou was not there, and the troops in Xuzhou were only more than 3,000. Sima Zhao ordered people to send people to supervise the affairs of Qingzhou Zhong Yu, the governor of Qingzhou, to temporarily supervise the affairs of Qingxu Erzhou, be responsible for guarding Xuzhou, and do a good job in the logistics of the Wei army in the two Huaihuai. After rewarding his brother, he would deal with his younger brother.

How experienced Sima Zhao is? No matter how he dealt with Zhong Hui, he first promoted Zhong Yu's rights, which can be regarded as a punishment and warning to Zhong. Sima still valued Zhong Hui, but did you do it a bit too much?

Zhong Hui, who has always been regarded as Sima Zhao's chief think tank, is now kneeling in front of Sima Zhao, with Wei Ting's civil and military ministers on both sides. Among them, Pei Xiu, Zhang Hua and others are as famous as Zhong Hui. Most of them used to have to look up to Zhong Hui, but now they see Zhong Hui's embarrassment.

Zhong Hui thought about the seriousness of the matter, but he didn't expect that Ma Zhao, a company in Jin, did not leave any affection. Such a fool would be a shame for Zhong Hui, who had always been arrogant and narrow-minded!

Kneeling on the ground, listening to Sima Zhao discussing national affairs with his ministers and dispatching troops, he never waited for Sima Zhao to say anything to himself who had been kneeling for a long time. Duke Jin did not have the order, and he dared not get up even if he gave Zhong Hui ten courage. Talented people are talented, but no one likes people who are arrogant.

What's more, this world is the world of Sima family. If Zhong Hui is regarded as the entire Wei Kingdom, he is just a person.

News from the Eastern Front was sent over, and Wang Ji went deep into Jiangbei and defeated Lu Kai and Zhu Yi's Wu army so hard that he dared not get off the ship. This was really exciting good news. Good news depends on misfortune, and misfortune is hidden. Good news and bad news.

It turned out that in addition to the two troops of Shi Ji, Jingzhou and Lu Kai between Huai, the Wu army also arranged for Lu to attack Jiangxia County. Because Xinye County fell too quickly and the two Huai County was in fierce battles, the news that Jiangxia County was attacked by the Wu army was just learned by the Wei people.

Jiangxia prefect Huan Yu, Wei general Chen Yu and others defended Shiyang City. They repelled the Wu army several times and even killed the Wu general Liu Lue, but in the end they were outnumbered. After the 30,000 Wu troops led by Ding Feng joined the war, the city was finally broken by the Wu people.

Huan Yu, Chen Yu and more than 4,000 people died in battle, and none of them surrendered to the enemy...

Without Jiangxia's connection between the east and west, the Wu army could raid on both sides of the Yangtze River without any obstacles. This is definitely a blow to the Wei State. The storm of boats and ships is more than twice as fast as the land route.

Sima Zhao slowly walked to Zhong Hui and looked at Zhong Hui coldly. Sima Zhao must be in a bad mood at this time.

Zhong Hui also knew that Hu Fen's serious injury and the Xuzhou Legion's almost wiped out were related to the fact that he could not escape the relationship. Sima Zhao treated him like this and did it for others to see. Even Duke Jin's confidant would have no privileges in the face of national affairs.

"I have been mobilizing troops for several days, and the soldiers are tired. I want to station troops and Xu Du is about to raise the soldiers, but only one person is going to Luoyang to check and balance Jiang Boye'er." Sima Zhao said slowly.

When Zhong Hui thought about it, he still didn't understand what Duke Jin meant? He committed a serious crime, and in secret, many people pointed at him and said irrelevantly. Duke Jin was to help him relieve himself, and even gave him a chance to redeem his sins and rename him again.

"Shi Ji is not talented, so he is willing to go to Luoyang and seize Hangu Pass again." Zhong Hui said hurriedly.

"Liu Chan has more than 30,000 people beside him, and another unit is defending Nanxiang. His troops are no less than 50,000." Sima Zhao said slightly dissatisfied.

"Shi Ji understood that he would never let down Duke Jin!" Zhong Hui could naturally understand Sima Zhao's meaning. The Shu army had 50,000 people here. Can Jiang Wei on the Western Front have few troops?"
