In the following days, except for the key pass of Taihang Mountain and the key roads on the east side of Taihang Mountain, the remaining army continued to gather in the areas around Yecheng.

This war has lasted for nearly a year, and the soldiers need to rest.

In addition, Sima Yi dug the Zhang River and artificially caused the flooding area, which was indeed a big obstacle for the Han army, which had become half mule and horse-like.

"Although Sima Yi wanted to withdraw from Hebei, he left hidden dangers to Hebei before leaving."

In the big tent outside Yecheng, Feng Dasima was waiting for news from Wang Han Shibao and others, while cleaning up the mess left by Sima Yi.

Although the army still kept its troops, the cavalry and scouts from all walks of life were in full swing, sending news from Jizhou and even Youzhou to Feng Dasima.

After reading the spy in his hand, Sima Feng threw it onto the table and leaned back:

"Although the thief's army has retreated, there are defeated soldiers everywhere, and there are still many pseudo-Wei guards everywhere."

Sima Feng raised his head and looked at the top of the tent and said slowly:

"From the news we have received now, the tens of thousands of Tuoba Xianbei were dispersed by Sima Yi to cause harm to the side."

Speaking of this, Sima Feng strengthened his tone, as if he was sighing, but it was a bit meaningful:

"Jizhou, wars are everywhere!"

"Isn't this done by Sima Yi on purpose?"

General Zhao Sanqian and others from Zhendong were not there. Except for Pei Xiu and several other students, only Zhang Bao stayed in the tent.

In this battle in Hebei, Zhang Bao felt the first time he truly felt something cruel and ruthless, and at the same time he felt what it meant to be far-sighted, and even more felt the gap between himself and General Zhendong.

You should know that when the second uncle of the late emperor and his father passed away one after another, he and An Guo (i.e. Guan Xing) and others were highly valued by the prime minister and shouldered the heavy trust of the future of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, Sanniang had not yet had this identity.

However, in a flash, General Zhendong has become the second in the Han army.

But I am already lost in everyone.

All this change cannot be said to be entirely due to someone, but it is basically counted on someone Feng.

After going through this battle in Hebei, Zhang Bao was finally completely impressed by someone.

So with a humble attitude towards learning, Zhang Bao often finds ways to follow Sima Feng and see how the other party handles various affairs.

"I have always been unafraid of speculating on the thief with the worst malicious intentions."

Sima Feng did not go to see his own brother, but his eyes fell on the top of the tent:

"Sima Yi's move, in addition to letting us have no energy to pursue him, may also have the burden to make Hebei a burden, and we have no intention of dividing troops to wipe out the pseudo-Wei in recent years."

Given the situation at that time, the Wei army who could be taken away by Sima Yi could basically be regarded as a loyal loyal to his direct line.

Most of the non-direct lineages were thrown into Hebei and dragged down the Han army.

Before evacuating, he deliberately spread all the bandits who could not be taken away. If Sima Yi did not expect that Hebei would cause chaos and soldiers to rise everywhere, Feng Dasima did not believe it.

It is a patience to quell the rebellious soldiers. Without a year or two, Hebei may not be able to fully restore normal order.

But sending troops to quell the chaos is necessary.

But Hebei's autumn grain is completely out of reach.

As winter approaches, the people of Hebei who have no food in their hands are hungry again.

Now the King of the Army has pacified Hebei, do you care about the people?

in spite of?

Then do you still have the face to call yourself the king?

If even the most basic people's hearts cannot be gathered, the cost of governing Hebei will only increase exponentially in the future.

Tube?

How much money should I fill it in?

And it’s not that this year’s winter is over, will we still have to organize farming next year?

Will you still have to collect refugees and reclaim wasteland later?

It’s easy to say about farm tools and grain.

The problem is that during this period, not only can we not collect much taxes, but we also have to make up for it.

After doing this, the Han Dynasty had no idea how much time and resources it would take in Hebei to send troops to Jianghuai again and destroy the pseudo-Wei.

In other words, Sima Yi's actions were not just about dragging the pursuers.

At the same time, at least it also gave the pseudo-Wei who was hiding in the Jianghuai area in Shandong for several years.

Hearing his brother-in-law's plan, Zhang Bao felt his scalp numb.

No, you just fight, and I can understand even if you dig the Zhang River.

How can I dig the Zhang River and then pull it out when I will destroy the pseudo-Wei?

Whenever he went on a war in his early years, he would lead the army with Guan Xing. Guan Xing was responsible for making suggestions and he was responsible for the implementation.

This battle in Hebei was the first time that Zhang Bao, as the main general, led the army alone to participate in the war after Guan Xing turned to Mu Shou.

Unexpectedly, when facing Sima Yi directly, he was almost hit to the point of being completely beaten.

Then, if you want to study with your brother-in-law now, you are still hit and doubting your life.

Looking at his brother-in-law who stared at the top of the tent as if he was staring at a beautiful beauty, Zhang Bao had an idea in his mind:

It is easy to say that it is easy to start a horse and manage the army, dismount the horse and herdsmen, and to be civil and military, to make a stable country and a stable country, but how many people can really have this ability?

Thinking of this in my heart, Zhang Bao couldn't help but sigh:

"I thought Sima Yi was running away in a hurry, but I didn't expect that the old thief could make such an arrangement in a hurry. What should we do according to the Grand Sima's opinion?"

Sima Feng finally took back his eyes from the top of the tent, looked at Zhang Bao, and smiled meaningfully:

"What should we do? Water comes and earth comes and the generals come and stop it. Besides," Sima Feng's eyes became deeper, "As the saying goes, good fortune is hidden by misfortune, misfortune depends on good fortune, and it is not impossible to guide the situation."

“How to say it?”

Sima Feng had not answered yet, but saw a staff officer on duty report:

"Grand Sima, Cui, Qinghe, asked for a meeting."

With a wave of his hand, Sima Feng didn't even raise his eyelids, "I don't have time, I won't see you."

After the staff officer withdrew, Zhang Bao continued to speak:

"This is the seventh time that a Hebei family has come here to ask for a meeting, right?"

"Brother remembers it clearly, but I haven't noticed it."

Sima Feng stretched out, "It's a pity that the water in Xuanwu Pool was put clean. Otherwise, it would be nice to go fishing before winter..."

Looking at Sima Feng's indifferent tone, his indifferent expression, and his lack of a straight face, Zhang Bao frowned a little and said that he was serious about what fish to catch?

As soon as I thought of this, a vague thought suddenly flashed, but I couldn't catch it again:

"Now our more than 100,000 troops are all stationed here and we want to help the victims. You have repeatedly rejected these aristocratic families. Even if our own food and grass can be transported from the east of Taihang Mountain, it will take time. Are you really not worried at all?"

Not to mention that there is still a lot of loss on the road.

No matter how rich your family is, it is not such a waste method.

Sima Feng smiled strangely:

"Brother said that we have more than 100,000 people, so what else do I need to worry about?"

What's the meaning?

Zhang Bao felt more and more uneasy.

Just a few days later, an unexpected person came to the big tent, which made Zhang Bao finally understand where the vague uneasiness in his heart came from.

"I finally pay homage to the Grand Sima!"

"Zhongrong, why did you come so quickly? I also said I would have to wait for some more days!"

Sima Feng looked a little surprised, and looked at Shi Bao, and was surprised, and was also a little surprised:

"Get up and talk first. By the way, how is the Hanoi war?"

Shi Bao replied, "Oh" and then stood up:

"When I returned to Grand Sima, General Wang (i.e. Wang Han) and I were ordered to attack Hanoi. The thief had been operating Hanoi for a long time, and they were also Sima Yi's hometown, so the thief army was very determined to defend the land."

"There is also Taihang Mountain as a barrier, so we are making very slow progress. Some of the counterfeits even have to compete repeatedly, and a lot of people have been lost during this period."

"Who expected that last month, the old thief Jiang suddenly left behind people to guard the important road, but he quietly retreated."

"If General Zhennan had not sent someone to warn him in time, we would have almost been deceived by him. We took advantage of the unstable morale of the thieves and attacked Hanoi in one go, and then we learned that the war in Hebei had changed."

Hearing this, Sima Feng nodded and praised:

"Jiang Boyue is worthy of being the one who is favored by the Prime Minister, and he is quite like a general."

Then he asked:

"In this way, shouldn't you go after Jiang Ji? Why did you come to Yecheng instead?"

When Shi Bao heard Sima Feng’s question, he replied carefully:

"The last general discussed with General Wang, and felt that the situation went east was unclear, and the thief was defeated and eager to return to the army. The military strategy said: Don't stop returning to the army. Therefore, both of us felt that being careful is the best."

As if afraid that Sima Feng would blame him, Shi Bao also explained:

"We sent people to cross the river to send letters to General Zhennan, and General Zhennan also agreed with us."
