The winter of the fifth year of Yanxi's reign was a great harvest for Wei, or to be precise, for Sima Yi.

Not only did they completely control Youzhou, but they also obtained a large number of horses and livestock from the Hu people, which greatly supplemented the military.

At the same time, he also defeated the Han army at the pass, which shocked the Hu people at the border fortress, calmed the people of Youzhou, and boosted the morale of the Wei army.

He even used this to establish prestige in front of the Hu tribe who came to trade, and initially won over the other party - it was rumored that it was the largest tribe with hundreds of thousands of string control people.

How many years?

Since the Battle of Xiaoguan, the officers and soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, no matter on foot or on foot, have changed their color when they heard about the fine cavalry of the Han army, and they have been frightened when they saw the Han army's iron cavalry.

How many years have passed?

Now finally someone can defeat the Han cavalry, breaking the myth that the Han cavalry is invincible.

"It has to be Master Sima!"

The news spread to Yecheng and Xuchang, and many people were very happy.

"Although the last attack on Bingzhou fell short, it was God's will. After all, it is difficult to do it alone."

"And I heard that Wei Yan, the general of the Western Thieves, was seriously injured and his life and death are unknown. This can be regarded as a gain."

"This time, we captured the Western Bandits' five thousand elite cavalry at Guan Fortress. It's truly a great victory!"

Why five thousand?

Looking at the horses, cattle and sheep brought back from Youzhou, I am afraid that this is how modest the master is.

Then he turned to look at General Cao.

"Bah! What the hell! Sun Quan has been fighting Hefei for so many years and still failed to capture it. In your hands, Shouchun was almost destroyed by flooding!"

"That's all. We were rescued in the end. But look at Xiangyang in the west, which was used to suppress the Wu invaders. It's actually lost...lost!"

Now in the southwest of Xuchang, only Wancheng is left alone.

If the Wu invaders had no cavalry and were unable to fight on foot, they would not have dared to cross the Han River and go north to fight with the Wei Dynasty on the ground. Wancheng would have become an isolated city.

Even so, the Wei Dynasty still had to dispatch some troops from the eastern front to Wancheng to strengthen defenses.

People in Xuchang are already a little confused now.

There is no other way. There are Western thieves in Luoyang to the northwest, and there is only an isolated city in Nanyang to the southwest.

Where does the sense of security come from?

Therefore, the battle at Guansai really gave many people in Wei a shot in the arm.

Some people even secretly thought that Xuchang was connected to the Western Bandits just across the road from Luoyang.

Yecheng is separated by the Taihang Mountains.

Is Taihang Mountain no better than Luoyang, which is undefendable?

And no matter how you look at it, the Tutor is much more reliable than the General.

How about... just go and join the Taifu?

By relying on this battle outside the pass, Sima Yi not only cleared up the small black spot of missing Hangu Pass, but also earned a lot of extra popularity among the people.

Compared with Sima Yi, Ji Han can only make no profit or loss.

The loss of two thousand fine cavalry made Feng Da Sima quite distressed.

But good news finally came from Hanzhong.

Luo Xian, Fu Qian, and another army commander, Ma Tian, ​​led the army to capture Anqiao Mulansai, cutting off the Shangyong Wei army's retreat, and finally succeeded in forcing Shangyong to surrender.

So far, Shangyong, Nanyang, and Xiangyang have become a small tripartite.

As for the Wu Kingdom outside the Han and Wei dynasties, it was quite lively.

Fu Shiyi, the king of Lu, wrote a letter praising the king of Lu, Sun Ba, for being "both civil and military". He believed that it was a waste of talent for the king of Lu to stay in Jianye, and he should go out to guard one side.

After submitting the letter, the news fell into disarray.

Shi Yi was not discouraged and wrote again, but Sun Quan still didn't respond.

If it were anyone else, he would probably understand what Sun Quan meant.

But who is Shiyi?

At that time, Lu Yi falsely accused Diao Jia, the governor of Jiangxia, of "slandering the state affairs." Sun Quan asked all the officials if they had heard of it. All officials were afraid of Lu Yi and said yes, but Yi said that he had not heard of it.

Under Sun Quan's severe questioning many times, all the ministers did not dare to express their anger, but Shi Yi still truthfully said no, without wavering at all.

This shows how upright this person is.

Didn't listen twice?

It doesn't matter, it's only twice. I will continue to write until you listen.

The connection was connected three or four times, which made Sun Quan extremely annoyed. Finally, he could only say that he would think about it.

This was Sun Quan's perfunctory words, but who would have expected that as soon as these words came out, many people's hearts immediately became excited.

Originally, the prince and King Lu lived in the same palace, and there was no distinction between superior and inferior. From the beginning, many courtiers were murmuring.

It's just that King Lu was newly established, and many people are watching. They don't know whether His Majesty is just letting King Lu stay in the palace temporarily, or whether he plans to continue like this.

Therefore, it is not easy to say anything, so as not to offend King Lu in vain.

What I didn't expect was that the first one to jump out was King Fu of Lu.

King Fu of Lu repeatedly submitted letters and finally got His Majesty to relax.

If you don’t come now, when will you wait?

In particular, the ministers who supported the prince, such as Taichang Gutan, the prince's tutor Wucan and others, could no longer hold back and wrote letters one after another:

"When I hear that there is a country and a family, I must understand the difference between legitimate concubines and concubines, the etiquette of different superiors and inferiors, so that there is a difference between superior and inferior, and the class exceeds the distance. In this way, the kindness of flesh and blood will be coveted. In the past, Jia Yi introduced the plan of public security.

When talking about the power of princes, it is believed that if the power is heavy, even if they are close, there will be the burden of betrayal; if the power is light, even if they are separated, there will be dangers of preservation..."

What he said was to remind Sun Quan that if he trusted King Lu too much or had too much power, allowing him to develop ambitions that he shouldn't have, it would actually harm him.

It is better to lower his status, let him understand the difference between legitimate concubines, the etiquette of respect and inferiority, and cut off his "coveting". This is the way to save him.

(Sunba, the king of Lu, said that he is a dog.)

If the officials came to remonstrate, it would only make Sun Quan extremely annoyed.

Then Lu Xun's letter was like water droplets splashing into a smoking oil pan.

"The prince's orthodoxy should be as solid as a rock. King Lu's vassals and ministers should make differences in favor and rank, so that each other can get what they want and everyone can be safe. I would like to kowtow and bleed to hear it."

When Sun Quan saw Lu Xun's letter, he was so angry that he slammed it on the ground:

"What does he want to do? What does he want to do!"

As if he still couldn't understand his hatred after scolding him like this, Sun Quan stood up and kicked Shu Zhang on the ground hard.

"Whoop whoosh!"

Sun Quan was panting like an ox, gritted his teeth and cursed:

"You have to stop what I want to do, and you have to force me to do what I don't want to do, right?"

Thinking about the prince, I asked him casually, but I didn't expect that he would insist on establishing a son as a filial son (that is, Sun He).

Okay, I know you are close to Zigao (Sun Deng) and want to follow his last wish, I have no problem with that.

But after you established the crown prince, you actually asked people to knock on the door, asked me to establish a queen, and even appointed the mother of the crown prince.

Okay, I promise you this too.

But I want to send people to sea, why do you object?

Now I just dote on Ziwei (Sun Ba) a little bit, but you actually have an opinion?

how?

I have entrusted the country to you, and you are still not satisfied?

Do you still want me to listen to you regarding my personal affairs, family affairs, harem, and children?

After all, Zhuge Liang was Liu Adou's father-in-law, so he also said, "The palace and the palace are all integrated into one."

Who do you think you are?

Do you dare to think like this?

Even if you don’t care about your status as a monarch or a minister, you are still my niece and son-in-law!

I am your elder!

Over the past few days, Sun Quan, who was always angry, became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, and he felt a rush of blood rushing straight to his forehead.

He raised his foot again and stepped hard on the ground.

"Crack!"

Several bamboo slips were trampled and broken.
