The boat leaned steadily on the dock of the south bank of Mengjin Ferry. There, Sima Zhao was leading a large group of people to wait anxiously, looking forward to it.

Xun Kai got off the boat first and respectfully led the way for Wang Yuanji in front, and Wang Yuanji followed closely with the child in his arms.

As soon as he got off the boat, Wang Yuanji became the focus of everyone's eyes. What should have been a joyful scene, but because the child in Wang Yuanji's arms became silent, everyone looked at each other and was at a loss.

The lines on Sima Zhao's face, who was originally smiling, suddenly froze. His face turned from red to blue, and finally pale as white as paper. His chest felt like he was hit hard, as if he had suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points, and his face was full of anger and despair.

He could bear Wang Yuanji's infidelity, but he could not accept this child who was unknown.

Especially in such a situation where people are paying attention.

Some people have already started whispering, and there is no doubt that the child is talking about. Although he has suppressed the voice to the lowest point and cannot even hear what they are talking about, this voice is already harsh enough for Sima Zhao.

When Wang Yuanji saw Sima Zhao, she was already filled with joy and sorrow. Tears couldn't help but burst out from her eyes, wishing she could suddenly plunge into her husband's arms and tell her feelings of separation.

But Sima Zhao's uncomfortable expression as if he had swallowed a fly made Wang Yuanji look dissuasion. Sima Zhao's eyes did not look at her at all, but stared at the child in her arms. Wang Yuanji really wanted to explain to Sima Zhao, but his words were blocked in his throat and he said timidly: "Husband..."

The reason why Sima Zhao stared at this child seemed to want to find something similar to him from the child. Even if he was deceiving himself, it would be considered. Unfortunately, this child has no place like him, and it is completely carved from the same mold as Wang Yuanji.

Not only that, Sima Zhao seemed to see some shadows of Cao Liang from this child, that is, some places are extremely similar to Cao Liang.

Sima Zhao saw that others could see it too. Of course, this kind of thing was originally on the surface. Wang Yuanji had been in the enemy camp for two years and wanted to keep her innocence, hehe, it was difficult to reach the sky.

If Wang Yuanji was alone, then there would be a layer of fig leaf left. But when she came back with a child, the fig leaf would be completely stripped of it, and Sima Zhao's face was thrown directly into the Yellow River.

When Sima Zhao heard this familiar name, he was filled with mixed feelings. Once upon a time, he was thinking day and night, hoping to see Wang Yuanji again. For this reason, he gritted his teeth and endured Cao Liang's extortion. For him, money was ultimately something outside of him. As long as he could get back to Wang Yuanji, he would be willing to pay no matter how much the price he paid.

But when Wang Yuanji stood in front of him with his child in his arms, Sima Zhao had already regretted it. What's the use of this shameless woman to redeem it? From now on, Sima Zhao will become the biggest laughing stock in Luoyang City.

Sima Zhao snorted heavily and left with his sleeves.

Wang Yuanji cried while holding the child. This scene was definitely unexpected by her.

Fang Bu returned with dozens of boats with full loads. Unlike the dead silence on the Nan Ferry Crossing, there were laughter and joy on the North Ferry Crossing, and the bamboo ripples were clattering.

Cao Liang did not care about the money and food on dozens of ships, but went straight to the ship containing Cao Yan's coffin. Although it was just a bone and could no longer recognize Cao Yan's appearance, for Cao Liang, his father's voice, appearance and smile were still in his heart and would never disappear.

Cao Liang carefully lifted the golden nanmu coffin from the boat, loaded it with a carriage that had been prepared, and went to Jinyang under the escort of a special person.

Next, Cao Liang had arranged a funeral. After Cao Yan died in battle, he was buried in a mess by Sima Jun. This time, when he welcomed his corpse back to Jinyang, Cao Liang would definitely be buried in a grand manner to fulfill his filial piety.

At this moment, an urgent report came from Weizeguan and Jiexiu at the same time, claiming that Sima's army, Lu Zhao of Jizhou and Chen Qian and Hu Fen of Hedong, led their troops to attack Weizeguan and Jiexiu respectively, and launched east-west attacks on Bingzhou. Their army was coming in full force, and Weizeguan and Jiexiu were both in a hurry.

As soon as the news came out, the Bingzhou army was in an uproar. Originally, the two sides confronted each other on the Yellow River line, and Sima Zhao also lost countless money and grain, but unexpectedly, the Sima army built a plank road openly and crossed Chencang secretly, and took the opportunity to sneak attack the Bingzhou army's retreat.

Now that the Bingzhou army is deeply behind the enemy, Bingzhou is empty, and once attacked, the situation will be quite critical. So the generals looked solemn and all their eyes turned to Cao Liang to see how he dealt with it.

The Sima army's attack on Weizeguan and Jiexiu was not beyond Cao Liang's expectations. He could play around with Wei to save Zhao, and others could do the same. In order to alleviate the crisis in Luoyang, it was reasonable for Sima army to send troops to attack Bingzhou.

Cao Liang concluded that this strategy must have come from Sima Yi, and Sima Zhao only commanded Luoyang's defense, at least he did not have the ability to grasp the overall situation yet.

But Sima Yi is different. He has far-sighted thinking and controls the overall situation of the world. Now that the battle in Huainan has reached the end, Sima Yi will certainly not give up his immediate interests and return to Luoyang to help.

What's more, Sima Yi was like a fire in Luoyang, and he saw that he was just bluffing and did not have the ability to cross the river to attack Luoyang. Therefore, although the military situation in Luoyang was as hot as fire, Sima Yi was firmly sitting on Mount Tai.

If you want to resolve this Luoyang crisis, the best way is to surround Wei and save Zhao. As long as you attack the key points of Bingzhou, you will not be able to do whatever you want without regard to the security of Bingzhou. So the war has reached this point, that is, you can stop when you see it is better.

Originally, Cao Liang had no great hope for this attack on Hanoi, but just sent troops tentatively. Huainan was thousands of miles away, and there was almost no possibility of rescue. Although it was feasible to surround Wei and save Zhao, the key was that Sima Yi did not take the bait, so what could you do?

To do his best and leave his will, Cao Liang's dispatch of troops this time was also doing his best. Although he failed to achieve ideal results, he could also explain to Ma Long. What's more, Ma Long performed extremely well this time. I believe that the possibility of him staying is also very high. Cao Liang estimated that news would definitely come from Huainan, and Wang Ling's defeat was imminent.

So Cao Liang ordered the withdrawal of his troops, and the army retreated slowly and returned to Bingzhou.
