After saying these words to Zhang Xingyi, Feng Yong felt a little moved in his heart.

He knew that the young lady of the Zhang family was worried that she would not think of these things for a while, so she sneaked out to remind him.

He was narcissistically thinking about the deep love between beautiful women, but before leaving, Zhang Xingyi stood up on tiptoes and whispered into his ear:

"Don't forget what you promised me last night in front of His Majesty and the Queen."

Feng Yong was stunned and thought to himself, why did I promise you yesterday?

He turned his head and was about to ask clearly.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xingyi smiled slyly and skipped away without giving him a chance to ask.

Feng Yong knew that he had a habit of being a little bit careless after drinking, but at best he could just brag or something.

Just thinking of Zhang Xingyi's smile when he left yesterday, Feng Junhou felt a little scared.

I thought he was trying to make me lose my morals after drinking, but I didn't expect that he was trying to make me lose my words after drinking.

I don’t know if I think too much or my opponent thinks too little.

Feng Yong thought about it, and even though he was thinking about it, he couldn't remember what he said after drinking yesterday.

Thinking of Zhang Xingyi's sly smile, I guess she must have planned it deliberately. If she deliberately didn't say anything, I'm afraid she wouldn't have any good ideas.

There were two other people present yesterday, one was Adou and the other was the Queen.

It is definitely impossible to find the queen.

But thinking of that honest little fat man, Feng Junhou couldn't help but secretly think about it: He still had to get the words out of Adou's mouth...

At worst, it will be beneficial to plug it in later?

Although the Cao thieves in the east of Hanzhong have not retreated, several big shots in the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty are still in the mood to scheming here, which already shows that the overall situation in Hanzhong has been decided.

In fact, this time Cao Wei invaded Hanzhong, in the secret plan of Cao Rui and Cao Zhen, Sima Yi's partial force was to attract the main force of the Han army.

After the suspected soldiers in Ziwu Valley were discovered, Sima Yi had to hold back the Han army in Hanzhong to prevent them from reinforcing Longyou. This was the most dangerous route.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhen's power, which was intent on Longyou, was defeated by Feng Yongda at Xiao Pass.

Only Sima Yi went upstream from Xicheng, cut through mountains and cleared a road, advanced by land and water, and successfully reached Hanzhong. He even captured Xinfeng County and other places and achieved a small victory.

Although there has been no contact with Ziwu Valley, Sima Yi only thought that it was raining heavily in Hanzhong for days, so Cao Zhen missed the date.

Little did he expect that this was the overall situation laid out by Cao Rui and Cao Zhen.

And he himself is just a more important pawn in this game.

Upon learning that Zhuge Liang was personally leading the army, Sima Yi couldn't help but feel in a dilemma.

It's not that he was afraid of Zhuge Liang.

After all, Sima Yi had been leading the army for much longer than Zhuge Liang, and he had been making suggestions in the army before leading the army alone.

The only record Zhuge Liang could achieve was the Battle of Longyou.

Therefore, even if Sima Yi did not look down upon Zhuge Liang, he would not be too afraid.

What worried him was that the emperor asked him to lead the army from the east to attack Shu and join Da Sima in Hanzhong.

Now Da Sima has no news for a long time, and the main force of the Han army is coming towards him again.

Should he continue to stay here and wait for news from Da Sima, or should he return to Jingzhou?

If we continue to stay and see Zhuge Liang personally leading the army, I am afraid that Da Sima has already lost.

But if we retreat upon seeing the enemy without His Majesty's will, we may have to follow the truth and say that we are fleeing and fearing Shu as much as a tiger...

While hesitating, a general suddenly entered the commander's camp and asked for a fight:

"General, when the army of Shu captives is coming, why don't we let the last general go and weaken him first?"

When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "General Niu is here, but it solves my worries a lot."

He thought to himself that if we could send out a vanguard and defeat Zhuge Liang first, we would have more room to advance and retreat.

So he sent a group of troops to Niu Jin and asked him to go and test the truth.

At the same time, Sima Yi seized the time and sent many more troops to Ziwu Valley to find out the news.

The starting point of Ziwu Valley intersects with the Han River.

And Sima Yi marched westward along the Han River.

However, after such a long time, there was no news from Ziwu Valley, which made Sima Yi feel a little uneasy.

Niu Jin thought he was brave and led the army forward, but met the vanguard of the Han army on the way.

When the two armies fought, they were defeated by the other side.

Seeing Niu Jin leading the remaining soldiers and retreating in embarrassment, Sima Yi was shocked: "Who is the vanguard of the Shu captives, and he is so powerful?"

"I heard that the Shu general registered his name and said it was Wei Yan."

Niu Jin replied with shame on his face.

"Wei Yan? It turns out to be this person. No wonder."

Sima Yi sighed, "This man has been favored by Liu Bei and guarded Hanzhong for nearly ten years. He must be extraordinary."

He had guessed that Cao Zhen had failed earlier, but now that he had failed for a while, Sima Yi finally began to think about quitting.

After all, he was going upstream, and the transportation of food and grass was not smooth. If there were no other large armies to support him, he would be considered a lone army, and a lone army entering enemy territory.

At this moment, the sentinel sent to Ziwu Valley to inquire about the news finally came back with the news:

The Ziwu Valley army has retreated.

Some people also say that Ziwu Valley was just a suspicious soldier, and now it has been discovered by the Shu people.

In fact, Da Sima led his army to Xiaoguan, but was defeated by Feng Yong.

Especially the latter piece of news, which is now spreading in Hanzhong, even the woodcutter who collects firewood already knows about it, so the sentinel can learn about it now.

When Sima Yi heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "I'm almost dead!"

Immediately, people were quickly packed up, boarded the ship overnight, and the entire army returned to Jingzhou along the Han River.

It is difficult for him to go upstream, but it is easy to go downstream.

It was really like an old turtle entering the water and disappearing in a flash.

When Zhuge Liang's army arrived at Xinfeng County, all they saw was the messy camp.

"Prime Minister, looking at the appearance of this camp, Sima Yi must have fled upon hearing the news. He must have no intention of fighting. Why not pursue him while he is victorious?"

Wei Yan defeated Niu Jin, and it was a time when his fighting spirit was high. He thought that with such a good situation, how could he not pursue it?

Zhuge Liang shook his head:

"Sima Yi is a man who is good at leading troops. The chaos in the camp may not have been intentional."

"Besides, if we pursue it easily, we don't have enough boats. It's easier to go down the Han River than it is to go upstream. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the army to return when it arrives."

Wei Yan heard this and said again:

"There is no need for the whole army to pursue him. The prime minister only asked me to lead a small elite army. Even if Sima Yi is prepared and has the prime minister behind him, he will not be afraid."

Zhuge Liang once again forbids:

"Now that the Han Dynasty has won a great victory, Sima Yi is going down the river. It will be difficult to catch up with him. Even if he can catch up, I'm afraid he will only be at the tail end."

"Victory is not enough to affect the overall situation. If Sima Yi has any plans to make General Wei lose his spirit, it will not be beautiful."

Wei Yan was repeatedly rejected by Zhuge Liang, and felt sad.

After getting out of the camp, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "The Prime Minister is so timid! He only hates that I can't use my talents to the fullest."

Shi Yangyi, the commander of the accompanying army, had always been at loggerheads with Wei Yan, but just now he saw an unhappy look on Wei Yan's face in the camp, and knew that he was dissatisfied.

He had known that Wei Yan had a problem with speaking freely, so he took the opportunity to quietly follow him out and hide in a remote place to eavesdrop.

Sure enough, when he heard Wei Yan say these words, he was so happy that he quickly ran back to talk to the prime minister.

Zhuge Liang heard Yang Yi say disrespectful words about Wei Yan more than once. Hearing him mention the old thing again now, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

Whether Wei Yan or Yang Yi, these two people, one is brave but rebellious, the other is extremely talented but cannot tolerate others, which is really annoying.

"I have already taken care of Wei Yan's matter, so there is no need for Wei Gong to say more. Can Wei Gong finish the investigation of the army's food and grass?"

After Zhuge Liang heard Yang Yijin's words about Wei Yan, he didn't express his position too much and just asked a question.

In the original history, Ji Han's talents were withering. Although Zhuge Liang knew that the two men had shortcomings in character, he still valued their talents and had to turn a blind eye to some things.

It's not like now, when a certain country bumpkin appears out of nowhere, mounts his horse to govern the army, and dismounts his horse to care for the people. He is both civil and military, and is as talented as a great man.

He behaves informally, marries a tiger girl, and trains her to become a general.

Not to mention bringing most of Ji Han's later talents to an early appearance.

In the front, Liu Yin resisted Zhang He, and in the back, Zhao Guang defeated the enemy with three thousand men. Zhang Ni, Gou Fu and others also made many military exploits.

There are also Wang Ping, Jiang Wei and others, plus some of the old generals of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that there are many talented people, and they are not afraid of having no successors.
