Chapter 511: Prince Geisiwei, there is no war on the Eastern Front!
After vomiting three mouthfuls of blood, Cao Pi's face instantly became as pale as paper, without any blood.

He was originally in his prime, but now his eyes were sunken, bloodshot, and there were dark circles around his eyes, making him look exhausted. The lips were chapped and there were still stains of blood on the corners of the mouth, which looked extremely miserable.

"Damn it, damn it! Mr. Liu is the son of his own mother!"

Until now, Cao Pi couldn't help but curse, his body was shaking involuntarily, as if he would collapse at any time.

When the surrounding ministers saw this, they all showed expressions of concern and worry.

"Your Majesty, I hope you will cherish the dragon body!"

"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"

They all stepped forward to help Cao Pi. Some took out their handkerchiefs and gently wiped the blood on the corners of his mouth, while others urgently summoned the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

"I'm fine."

Taking the silk handkerchief from Li Guiren's hand, Cao Pi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

nothing?

How could the officials believe what Cao Pi said.

I vomited blood three times in a row. Is this okay?

Blood energy is a person's vitality. How can you say it's okay if you spit out so much blood?

I'm afraid my body has been severely damaged.

Sima Yi frowned, his eyes revealing deep worry.

He knew that Cao Pi's physical condition would have a vital impact on the future of Wei. At this moment, Cao Pi could no longer take any further blows.

If the emperor dies in front of the two armies, it will not be a defeat, but a rout of the entire army.

"The Han army came well prepared, and Pubanjin was also captured by the Han army. Now it seems that it is better to retreat first!"

retreat?

Unwilling!
Cao Pi sighed. After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to hold it back. Then he said: "Retreat, guard Jie County with ten thousand people, and guard Hebei City in Hu County with ten thousand people. Send off most of the civilians, and the rest of the soldiers will return to Hongyang."

After retreating to Hongyang, the Wei army's food road became shorter.

And if by this time, the food and grass are not enough, then they can only return to Luoyang.

"The retreat will be left to Zhongda. Remember, safety is the priority and the Han army cannot take advantage of it!"

When morale is low, it is not easy for the army to retreat unscathed. This is a test of one's ability.

"I will definitely do my best!"

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately accepted the order.

Your Majesty still has sense after all. If you continue to fight when there is insufficient food and grass, you will lose everything if you are not careful.

If we retreat now, Wei still has a chance.

Liu Chan stood on Tongguan, the cold wind of winter blowing the brocade robe on his body.

His eyes were firm, looking at the magnificent scenery outside the pass, and the smile on his face could not be stopped.

Outside the pass, the captured Wei soldiers were densely arranged in the open space like beads on a string. Their number was so large that it was impossible to count.

These prisoners lowered their heads and looked depressed, which was in sharp contrast to the Han army holding their heads high above Tongguan.

In the distance, the Wei army's camp had begun to retreat.

The once arrogant and domineering Wei army had to retreat under the iron heel of the Han army. Their flags were crooked, their ranks were scattered, and they had completely lost their former majesty.

"Finally we defeated Cao Pi."

In fact, in the charge last night, the losses suffered by the Wei army were not as great as expected. There may have been losses, but the losses should be among more than 10,000 people.

But Liu Chan seized the Wei army's vitality and burned the Wei army's food and grass, thus allowing himself to take the initiative in the battle.

Moreover, although the number of Han troops who killed Wei troops was not large, the strategic objectives were achieved.

They saved Fengling and crossed the Han military camp, recaptured Pubanjin, and even captured Puban City.

"Your Highness, the general is now convinced!"

Wei Yan looked at the high-spirited Liu Chan and was filled with emotion.

He had heard of the reputation of the burly prince before, but felt that perhaps the rumors were spread too harshly.

But now it seems that this is not a rumor, it is true.

Your Highness, you are truly the reincarnation of a saint.

In the end, this world still belongs to the Liu family.

"It was just a fluke."

Liu Chan was not arrogant. In fact, Liu Chan also made dangerous moves.

If the main force of the Wei army cannot be defeated, Guanzhong will really be in danger.

Since Cao Zhen occupied Yong County, the situation in Guanzhong has become increasingly corrupt.

In addition, Cao Pi and the Han army faced off at Tongguan for more than a month, and the Wei State School Office spread a lot of news to confuse people's minds.

There were rebellions in many cities in Guanzhong. As the fire captain, Zhang Fei rushed back and forth to suppress them.

There are rebellions in several cities, but they have not yet been suppressed.

If Cao Pi breaks into Guanzhong, needless to say, the general trend will be on Wei's side.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

"How can you be lucky? You can only be lucky once or twice. How can you be lucky all the time?"

After Wei Yan complimented him, he asked: "Your Highness, now that the Wei army is retreating, shall we pursue it?"

If the enemy troops retreat, if the attack is carried out properly, it will cause confusion among the enemy troops.

And if the chaos reaches the point where the enemy army collapses, they can even chase the enemy to the north, then attack the city and capture the territory, turning it into a great victory!

It does not seem impossible to occupy Hongnong while the rebels are fleeing.

"Since the Wei army is retreating, it must have a plan. If it pursues hastily, it may lead to an ambush."

Although the Wei army suffered a lot of damage, with thousands killed and tens of thousands captured, its own strength is still there and should not be underestimated.

"At the end of the day, the general will regard his path as chaotic and his banner as wild, so he wants to pursue him!" Wei Yan is also a well-educated man and knows some historical allusions.

Liu Chan laughed and said, "How did you know this wasn't Wei Jun's conspiracy?"

Liu Chan patted the falling snowflakes on his shoulders and said: "We have made enough money, and the situation is moving in our favor. If we are greedy now, if we fall into the trap, it will ruin the good situation." "

"This"

Wei Yan opened his mouth and nodded slowly, somewhat reluctantly.

"Your Highness, I have a question that the general would like to ask. Are the rumors in the army true or false?"

Liu Chan laughed and said: "Since it is a rumor, how can it be true?"

Liu Chan patted Wei Yan on the shoulder with a smile and said:

"Captain, don't think too much. The most important thing now is to strengthen the defense of Tongguan, build the city at Fenglingdu, and strengthen the defense of Puban City and Pubanjin. In the next few years, it may be difficult for our army to move eastward! "

The mess in Guanzhong, plus Longxi, Liangzhou, and even the Western Regions in the west.
It will inevitably involve the Han army for a long time.

It is no exaggeration to say that it will definitely take several years to digest Guanzhong.

Not to mention taking over Longxi Liangzhou and retaking the Western Regions.

Zhao Yun led his troops to pursue the remnants of the Wei army, and has not returned yet.

"Wen Wei, how many cities in Guanzhong have collapsed in the past few days?"

Fei Yi immediately stepped forward and said, "There are nobles in the three cities of Yangxia, Jiyang, and Linxia who are causing trouble."

"I do know that there is a Xie family in Yangxia. There seems to be no big family in Jiyang and Linxia."

Fei Yi immediately said: "Your Majesty remembered wrongly. This Yangxia is not that Yangxia. The Yangxia where the Xie family is located in Yangxia is in Chen County, not Zuo Fengyi."

Forehead.
Only then did Liu Chan realize that Zuo Fengyi’s Yangxia had the same name as Chen Jun’s Yangxia.

As a leader, he has to be thick-skinned, so Liu Chan immediately pretended to be nonchalant.

"I see." Liu Chan immediately changed the topic.

"Since the noble clans are causing rebellion, how many clans are there?"

"The one who caused the rebellion in Yangxia is the Hu family of Yangxia. He is a noble clan who has never produced two thousand stones. He has held the position of county magistrate for a long time. It can only be said that he has some influence. The one who caused the rebellion in Linxia is the Linxia Xia family. His ancestors have made two thousand stones. Sir, as for Xianyang, he belongs to a wealthy family."

After finding out the details of these noble clans, Liu Chan also had a good idea.

As soon as Wei Guo seduces you, will you rebel?

Ha ha.

Now that the Wei army has retreated and there is no fighting on the eastern front, it is time to deal with you.

only.
Should we be more ruthless or gentle?

Liu Chan was confused.

After all, his current reputation among the Guanzhong nobles is not a good one.

After thinking for a while, Liu Chan already had the answer in his mind, but he still turned to look at Xiang Chong behind him and asked: "Giant rebels, how should we deal with these rebels?"
