As he talked, the junior classmate became a little excited again.

"If five round tripods can scare Sima Yi away and save Jinyang, it will be worthwhile."

Zhang Yuan looked south again, "But I always feel that something is not right."

As the saying goes, soldiers are more valuable than speed.

If Sima Yi wanted to capture Taiyuan, he had to take advantage of Taiyuan's lack of troops to capture Jinyang as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, when the court's reinforcements arrive, unless he wants his escape route cut off, he will have no choice but to go back and forth from wherever he goes.

There is not much time left for Sima Yi!

Zhang Yuan firmly believes in this.

He believed in the mountain commander, and he also believed that the Han cavalry was invincible.

When it comes to speed, the Han soldiers under the command of the mountain commander have never been afraid of anyone.

"Eldest brother is saying that Sima Yi has other plans?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "We are staying here and cannot get the news from the front in time. How can we make a conclusion easily?"

As he spoke, he sighed:

"Counting the days, the messengers and spies sent out a few days ago should have returned the news."

He has been standing here for almost a whole day, actually waiting for news.

Although no news is good news.

But the news that should arrive does not arrive in time, which is not good news.

This made Zhang Yuan feel a little anxious.

Is it possible that something really happened in Jinyang and that no news could even be spread?

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.

Is Sima Yi really that powerful?

This is too inappropriate.

After all, it was General Deng who was personally defending the city.

While I was thinking wildly, my junior fellow student's voice suddenly sounded in my ears:

"Elder brother, is that right?"

Zhang Yuan came to his senses and quickly raised the telescope.

Sure enough, I saw the knight running towards Yanmen Fortress, carrying the command flag on his back.

"Exactly!"

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but let out a breath.

Just come!

"Report! Urgent report!"

At the foot of Jinyang City, across the Fen River from the Wei army's camp, Sima Yi's voice came out:

"Send it in."

With the Taifu's permission, the personal guards led the knights into the tent and delivered the latest news.

"Taifu, a large number of traitor cavalry were found in the south of Qi County. It is very likely that the traitor reinforcements have passed through Guanjue Valley!"

Hearing this, Sima Yi didn't look surprised at all on his face. Instead, he sighed:

"Are you here? It's faster than I thought! Have you found out who the leader of the bandit army is?"

"I heard it's Guan Suo!"

Hearing the name "Guan Suo", Sima Yi's eyebrows twitched.

Hearing that the bandit reinforcements were coming, he was not surprised at all, but when he heard that Guan Suo was personally leading the army, he was a little moved:

"That's it, no wonder!"

Feng Yong's number one general led the battle like wind and fire. No wonder he came so quickly.

"Go, pass on my military orders, and ask the generals to come to my tent to discuss matters."

When the approaching Wei generals heard that the bandit army had arrived in Qi County and that the leader was Guansuo, there was a commotion.

"Taifu, the Guan bandits are powerful enemies and should not be underestimated. Moreover, there are still thousands of bandits on the other side of the valley. If they respond internally and externally, the army's retreat may be cut off!"

"That's right, Master, it's better to prepare as early as possible."

…

Sima Yi gently stroked his beard, glanced at the generals, and said:

"You finally know the reason why I stationed my army east of the Fen River and did not cross the river to attack the city?"

He pretended to sigh:

"What I'm worried about is that the bandits' reinforcements will come too quickly. If the army cannot escape in time during the attack, everything will be in danger!"

Hearing this, many of the Wei army generals looked ashamed on their faces.

In the past few days, the army has arrived at Jinyang City, but the Taifu has not yet crossed the Fen River, which makes them a little unable to hold back.

I didn't expect that the Taifu would have such considerations.

"Taifu, what should we do now? Do we want to retreat?"

Sima Yi sighed:

"I attacked Taiyuan because I wanted to take risks. If I can capture Taiyuan before the thieves can react, that would be a good thing."

"But now it seems that I took it too much for granted."

Having said this, he glanced down again, taking in everyone's expressions, and then shook his head, with a heavy look on his face:

"If it were anyone else, it would be best for us to return to Dagu immediately, but this time it's the Guan thieves who are here."

He emphasized his tone, "Qixian County is not far from Dagu, it is even closer than Jinyang."

"When we return to Dagu, we must have a fight with the Guan thieves before we can escape."

"And after the thief is imprisoned, I don't know who else will come. If Feng thief follows..."

Sima Yi paused and said nothing.

Being entangled by the Guan thief, and then the Feng thief followed him, and fought to the death with the thief in Taiyuan?

Many people swallowed involuntarily.

Taiyuan is considered the territory of thieves now, right?

"What Taifu means is that we are not going back to Dagu? Then where else can we go?"

Sima Yi pondered for a moment and then said:

"If you don't go back to Dagu, there may not be any other way to go."

He raised his head and looked at the generals, "Don't forget, there is a road going east from Jinyang, called Jingxing, which can pass through the Taihang Mountains and return to Jizhou."

"According to the spies' report, the traitor's garrison at Jingxing has been transferred back to Jinyang City to assist in the defense of the city. There is no garrison there now."

Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but look at each other.

Going to Jizhou?

The current governor of Jizhou is Huan Fan. This man is a fellow countryman of General Cao Shuang. Will he agree?

"Everything should be done with the overall situation in mind." Sima Yi seemed to understand everyone's thoughts, "If there is a loss in the army, Hanoi will probably not be saved."

"If we don't stand in front, how can Jizhou stop the thieves? I believe Huan Shijun will understand this."

Sima Yi looked over one by one, "The matter is urgent. Do you have any questions? Or do you have any better ideas?"

After a long silence, someone cautiously raised a question:

"Taifu, what should we do over there in Ogu?"

The army is under Jinyang City, but there is also a garrison in Dagu. On the one hand, it is to guard the remnant army of the traitors, and on the other hand, it is to guard the retreat.

"I will personally write a letter and send someone to send it to ask them to return to the valley..."

He didn't say anything else.

Although he hoped to defend Shangdang, Sima Yi did not have much hope.
