Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

"Zilong, this Wei Yan is too conceited. Back then, you should have let him go directly to the Kingdom of Shu, and let him know that there is no shortage of talents in our Kingdom of Wei."

Zhao Yun recovered his mood, and said: "I also thought that he was a fierce general, so I became interested in talents. I didn't expect to give him military power, and he did this."

Although without Wei Yan's reinforcements, he would not have died here, but his soldiers might still lose a lot.

Thanks to Xiahouheng and Xiahouba who came in time.

Zhao Yun said; "This person must be beaten up, so as not to cause more trouble in the future."

Xia Houyuan said: "Seeing how unconvinced he is today, I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future."

Zhao Yun snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe it, he dares to go to the Qiang territory to find Liu Bei at this time."

For Wei Yan's matter, Zhao Yun just punished him a little, and he didn't intend to continue to investigate further. If he doesn't obey orders next time, his head will be lost.

Zhao Yun asked the chief bookkeeper in the army to count the losses and gains of this battle, and then submitted a list to Hanzhong.

Seeing so many prisoners in the camp, Zhao Yun said thoughtfully: "General Miaocai, let these prisoners go back."

Xia Houyuan was puzzled and said: "Go to Shu to spread the news? I guess it won't work. They have lived here for a long time, and they are very nostalgic for their homeland. I'm afraid it won't have much effect."

"Then let them do something meaningful."

Zhao Yun called Wu Yi, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian, and said, "Do you have relatives in Chengdu?"

"What does the general mean by this? We are sincerely seeking refuge."

Wei Yan's fate made them realize that in Wei State, surrendered generals don't seem to be so easy to be seen.

"Don't get me wrong, generals, I just want to find a way to get your family here."

The three people's eyes lit up, they didn't expect Zhao Yun to have such kindness.

"Thank you General!"

Zhao Yun said: "I don't know the three of you, but who is willing to go to Zhang Ren's camp and tell him that I am willing to exchange more than 3 prisoners for the family of the soldiers."

When the three of them heard that their family members would be exchanged, they were very excited. It turned out that what Zhao Yun said was true.

"The end will be willing to go!"

The three spoke in unison.

Zhao Yun had no choice but to pick one at random.

"Wu Yi, you go!"

"promise!"

Wu Yi came back less than half a day after he left, Zhang Ren couldn't make up his mind and had already reported the matter to Liu Zhang.

There is a large piece of land in the east of Fushui, which can be used for their families to live in. Zhao Yun discussed with Xia Houyuan, and after the families of these people came, they were arranged near Zitong.

It is impossible for Liu Zhang to take back Fu County. The Wei army has no habit of losing territory. As long as the cities they capture do not have enough benefits, they will not return them to the opponent.

Heavy snow has covered the road, and it is impossible to mobilize troops this winter. We can only wait for the next spring to find a way to cross the Fushui.

All soldiers north of the Yangtze River have been on strike, waiting for the end of the heavy snow.

In Jiangling City, Jingzhou, Empress Dowager Cai summoned ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss how to get along with Cao Shuo's Wei State in the future.

The news that Cao Shuo's army captured Hanzhong had reached Jingzhou, which made the Queen Mother very nervous.

Although they have a two-year truce agreement with Cao Shuo, if Cao Shuo also captures Yizhou, it is impossible for them not to be missed by Cao Shuo in Jingzhou.

"Dear dear ones, Hanzhong was captured, and Ma Teng in Liangzhou lost all the territory in the east of the Yellow River. What should we do?"

Kuai Yue said: "As far as I know, after Cao Shuo captured Hanzhong, he immediately sent General Zhao Yun to attack Jiange, Jiameng Pass, and Zitong. Zitong has already fallen into the hands of the Wei army."

Empress Dowager Cai looked depressed, why was her news so much slower than theirs?

When Zhao Yun left Nanyang, it was as if a knife had been removed from his heart.

Now the prefect of Nanyang is Cao Ren, who is good at defending but not attacking, which shows that Cao Shuo will not launch troops against Jingzhou for the time being.

Wang Can said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, when I inspected Bian County, I found some abnormalities."

Empress Dowager Cai asked excitedly, "What's abnormal?"

"However, none of those who crossed the Yishui River to the north came back, and no one from the north of the Yishui River crossed the river to the south."

"Is there such a thing?" Empress Dowager Cai looked surprised, how could such a thing happen?

"The servant of the Yellow Gate, Yi Ji, was sent to the other side of the river to find out the situation. In the blink of an eye, five days have passed without any movement."

"how is this possible!"

Some ministers in the court who did not know the truth were terrified.

Could it be that there is something weird about the northern side of Yishui, that so many people went there and never came back.

There was a bad guess in everyone's mind. The north of Yishui would not be secretly controlled by Cao Shuo, otherwise, this situation would not have happened.

Faced with such a strange situation, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager Cai to ignore it.

If Cao Shuo secretly went to Xiangyang and she didn't know, it might cause a big mess.

"General Cai, send [-] soldiers to take a look!"

Cai Mao nodded, and then ordered a lieutenant general to lead the soldiers to find out the situation, and told them to return immediately if they found an enemy army, and not to be ambushed by the opponent.

However, after Cai Mao's soldiers crossed the Yishui River, they were attacked by Zang Ba. Of the [-] soldiers, only a few dozen returned.

The rest were either killed or captured.

When Empress Dowager Cai heard that it was Cao Shuo's army that controlled the north of Yishui, she panicked.

"Who can go to Xiangyang and ask what's going on?"

"This……"

If you go there, you can’t come back. It’s useless to go to Xiangyang.

You must see the person in charge of the other party, and you must be able to come back.

Kuai Yue said: "I suggest entering Jiangxia from the Yangtze River, and then go overland to Nanyang to inquire about the situation!"

Who dares to go here?

Who can guarantee that seeing the Nanyang prefect will not be detained?
Cai Mao said, "Why don't you ask the people from the Longteng Chamber of Commerce?"

Longteng Chamber of Commerce also has a branch in Jiangling, asking them is the best choice.

However, when Cai Mao brought people to the Longteng branch, he found that the place was empty.

He had a bad premonition in his heart that Cao Shuo's use of troops against Jingzhou was not just as simple as a surprise attack on Xiangyang.

"Queen, the members of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce have already left. I'm afraid Cao Shuo will use troops against us in Xiangyang soon."

Empress Dowager Cai said: "What should we do? Can our army withstand the attack of the Wei army?"

He wiped out all those who stood in the way of Cao Shuo. They didn't have the confidence to defeat Cao Shuo's iron cavalry.

Cai Hao suggested: "Queen Mother, our army is far inferior to Wei's army. Why don't we surrender directly, and we can also make land offerings. Cao Shuo will definitely treat us kindly."

Empress Dowager Cai looked at the others and asked, "How are you doing?"

Except for Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang who did not speak, the Sangong Jiuqing chose to surrender.

Seeing that Kuai Yue was silent, Empress Dowager Cai hurriedly asked, "Does your lord Taiwei not agree to surrender?"

"The minister has already defected to Wei Guo!"

"what!"
