He knew in his heart that the Taiwei was eager to avenge his former shame and avenge his past. Moreover, if this battle could pacify Liaodong, it would be a great achievement to regain his hometown, which would be enough to be famous in history. The population of Liaodong could increase the labor and military resources needed by Wei in the short term, but in the long run, Liaodong would lose control and without the people to guard him, sooner or later, and hand over this place to foreign countries and foreign races for nothing.

He dared not say this. After all, in name, Sima Yi was the commander of the Liao Dynasty, and he was just a rear army, so he could only obey him.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Sima Yi asked, "General Du Liao, do you have something to say, so you might as well say it clearly."

Wu Qiu Jian said: "Liaodong can be pacified or slaughtered the entire Gongsun family. This is a small matter and will not be a big problem for the country. However, migrating the population and vacant Liaodong will only give Goguryeo, Xianbei, Fuyu and other countries a space for nourishment. Although they have gained it today and lost tomorrow, they will only change their opponents back and forth, and they still cannot effectively regain Liaodong. I believe that we should station troops in Liaodong, resettle new counties and prevent the invasion of foreign races."

Sima Yi chuckled: "General Du Liao was too worried, I had my own plans. The most important thing at the moment is to first formulate the route to conquer Xiangping."

Wu Qiu Jian had no choice but to sit with Sima Yi and analyze the situation, saying: "At present, we are waiting for 50,000 people to come from a distance, and we are still tired and need two days to rest. I think that we can march into Xiangping the day after tomorrow."

Sima Yi said happily: "Yes, the day after tomorrow we marched into Xiangping and attacked him with one go. Now it's too late to surrender—"

Suddenly, he realized something and his face changed: "No, Gongsun Xiu might send another copy to Your Majesty to Luoyang. Now it is a troublesome autumn. There are changes in the southeast. Western Shu is watching the tigers, and Liaodong is in chaos. My Great Wei faces the coercion of fighting on the third line. If Your Majesty sees Gongsun Xiu's letter of surrender, he will order us to withdraw our troops and regain Liaodong in name. Gongsun Xiu is still the King of Liaodong."

Wu Qiu Jian was stunned: "If the troops withdraw and the soldiers come from thousands of miles away, they will fail. But Your Majesty really agreed, so we have to do so."

Sima Yi was unwilling to stop the war in Liaodong. This battle was unfavorable. He was responsible for not being able to conquer Liaodong and was disappointed. This was not what he hoped to foresee. And now the situation is changing, and the Wei State is about to enter an important stage of the throne change, and the conflict between clans and aristocratic families in the court will reach its peak. For Sima Yi, withdrawing troops is a loss of military power.

Sima Shi suddenly said, "The opportunity for the decisive battle in front of him should be several days. Since the Yan bandits intend to surrender and comfort him, it is the time when the Yan army relaxed their vigilance, and they led a large army to cover the killing. At that time, even if Your Majesty accepts the imperial edict, the envoy arrives in Liaodong with the imperial edict, and it will take at least twelve days to speed up five or six hundred miles a day. It will take at least 12 days to send troops to Xiangping. Our army will have five days to attack Yan camp at least six or seven days to rescue the siege. This is the opportunity."

Everyone agreed with this strategy.

On the one hand, the king's order cannot be violated. When Cao Rui's imperial edict came to Liaodong in person, everyone did not dare to resist the order and could only do things according to the order.

On the other hand, there is a fighter opportunity that is currently in an advantageous position, and Sima Yi and his son are unwilling to give up.

As long as the enemy is captured within twelve days, even if the imperial edict is here in person, the Yan State has already been defeated, so it will not be disrespectful to the imperial edict.

Sima Yi frowned and said, "If you follow this method, you must first confuse the enemy and relax your guard. Who can do it?"

Sima Shi said with high apology: "Father, the child is willing to go there and deal with Gongsun Xiu. He must explore the reality and the details, and then lead troops to attack him to resolve the difficulties in Liaodong."

"Okay, then you can try it out." Sima Yi stroked his beard and smiled.

That night, Sima Shi ordered the soldiers to eat pots of slurry and carry a large number of coins in a cart full of boxes to Yanying.

He took action very generously, almost taking out one-third of the wealth used by the Wei army to reward the soldiers, in order to show sincerity. Sima Shi was about to go to Yan Camp when a young man suddenly stopped him and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is the deputy commander, how can he sneak into the enemy camp? If there is a fraud, the three armies will be in chaos. It is better for me to go."

The boy was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a long figure and a handsome appearance. Although his face was childish, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he looked at him with awesome power.

Sima Shi was stunned and then said, "Uncle, do you know the key to this matter? It is related to whether the plan to pacify Liaodong."

This young man is the younger brother of Sima Shi's current wife Yang Huiyu. His surname is Yang and his name is Hu and his courtesy name is Shuzi. This time he went to Liaodong, he also brought him here to experience it.

Yang Hu smiled and said, "It is precisely because of this that the matter is of great importance that my brother-in-law cannot go there. You are the deputy general. If there is danger, the three armies will be turbulent. I, a person who is insignificant, will be the best."

Sima Shi thought it was true. Although his brother-in-law was young, his courage and knowledge were not inferior to others. It would be better for him to go to Yan Camp to work in person. He nodded and frowned and said, "Uncle, be careful in everything. If you have any good things, I will not be able to explain to your sister."

Yang Hu grinned, as if he was already confident: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, the bitter and cold people in Yanying must be forgotten when they see so many meat, nectar and coins, and just need to confuse Gongsun Xiu."

Sima Shi smiled and nodded, praising: "You are really good at learning from one example and applying it to other things."

Yang Hu immediately took the military order and led the baggage troops across the Liaoshui River and headed to Xiangping.

After hearing that the 50,000 troops of Wei State entered Liaodong, Gongsun Xiu led his army to garrison the Shouyang Mountain area.

Yang Hu led the baggage troops to walk for five days, from Liaokou to Shoushan, and saw that Yanying was strictly prohibited from being placed in the village, and the defense inspection post was also closely connected. There were no fatal points in almost every corner. He couldn't help but think: "These defenses are used very well. The Taiwei used troops like a god, and he was also defeated by this person."

He had long heard that Gongsun Xiu was only as young as a young man. With his identity as a prince, he brought tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry from Liaodong. Even Sima Yi could not do anything about it, and he was very curious.

In front of the Yan camp, the soldiers of Yan army surrounded the Wei army who transported coins, wine and food. Yang Hu showed no panic and said, "Don't worry, everyone, is Yang Hu of Wei, the army leader who is the always attending Sima Shi, who heard that the King of Yan was chasing his ministers to our Great Wei, and he had to give this to reward the soldiers of the three armies of Yan."

Yang Zuo frowned and looked at the endless delicious food of Che Zhen, then looked at Yang Hu a few more times, and said strangely: "So, you came to work hard on Sima Yi's order? This move is not in line with the rules of etiquette? Our Yan State is a united unit and summoned the King of Yan. Even if the army is laborious, the King of Yan can only do it."

Although Yang Hu was young, he was not frightened and said with a bow: "The King of Yan praised the ministers of Wei. Wei was the lord of Yan. Yan was the vassal state of Wei. If he was reasonable, the people of Yan would be the people of Wei and the soldiers would be the people. When the Grand Marshal learned that the King of Yan asked to surrender and submit to him, he praised his wise and insightful knowledge and specially prepared fine etiquette from the army to work hard for the three armies."
