The Bingzhou Army retreated quickly and in an orderly manner. In order to prevent Sima Army's pursuit, Cao Liang specially arranged the Tunqi Camp and the Xiaoqi Camp to cut off the rear, and asked the first to climb the camp, the infantry camp, the left and right guard camps to evacuate first.

However, this worry is obviously redundant. Sima Zhao's army is blocking the south bank of the Yellow River, and Sima Zhao is only conducting defensive operations on the south bank of the Yellow River this time, and he is not prepared to cross the river at all. He is unable to cross the Yellow River in a short time. Even though this is the best opportunity to pursue, Sima Zhao can't help but watch the Bingzhou army leave.

As for Chen Tai from Huai County, he seemed to be afraid of being beaten by the Bingzhou army. Even if the Bingzhou army retreated in a large scale at this moment, he would not dare to go out of the city to pursue him easily, for fear of falling into the trap of the Bingzhou army.

Therefore, during the entire retreat, no battle occurred, and the retreat of the Bingzhou army was as calm as possible.

As the most elite cavalry unit of the Bingzhou Army, the Tunqi Camp and the Xiaoqi Camp made an expedition this time, which was more like a trip to Hanoi. Before fighting, they returned to Bingzhou.

Although it was very regretful for many people to give up the Hanoi County, which had already been obtained, Cao Liang did not agree with it. The war was never judged by one city and one place. The Hanoi County gained and lost again. It seemed that the Bingzhou Army was doing useless efforts during this expedition. However, it was through such a battle that the Bingzhou Army's combat capability was improved, and more than 10,000 enemies were wiped out, and the morale of the Sima Army was defeated. Chen Tai, who was known as one of the four tiger generals of the Sima Army, could not retreat. Overall, Bingzhou's troops sent to Hanoi this time were still more gain than loss.

Moreover, Cao Liang's biggest gain was that he added another powerful general - Ma Long. Although Ma Long's flat box car formation is still lacking, this new chariot method is still eye-catching. If those shortcomings can be overcome, the flat box car formation will definitely be brilliant on the battlefield in the future.

Of course, the only regret is that Sima Yi did not take the bait. Cao Liang's plan to siege Wei and save Zhao ended in failure. Wang Ling's defeat was irreversible. I am afraid that even the gods could not save him even if they descended to earth.

After Wang Ling's defeat, Cao Liang would inevitably bear greater pressure invisibly. The period when Sima Yi went to Huainan was the most relaxed period for Cao Liang and the golden period for the development of the Bingzhou army. Cao Liang not only nearly doubled the Bingzhou army, but also achieved remarkable achievements in economy and agriculture. The situation in Bingzhou is developing in a prosperous direction.

But as the Huainan war was about to end, the golden years of the Bingzhou army also ended. Next, Sima Yi would inevitably target the attack on Bingzhou, and Bingzhou would fall into war again.

However, from the perspective of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Ling's failure must be a bad thing. In order to protect himself, Wang Ling did not hesitate to surrender to the Eastern Wu. If Sima Yi failed the conquest, the entire Huainan land would be completely defeated by the people of Wu.

Huainan is the most important link in the southeastern defense line of Wei. Once it is lost, not only Huainan will be lost, but also the hinterland of the Central Plains will be deeply affected. The power of Wu will quickly expand northward. This will definitely not be good news for Cao Liang, who is determined to restore the great cause of Cao Wei.

After Cao Liang led the Bingzhou army back to Bingzhou, Lu Zhaohe, who attacked Weize Pass, attacked Chen Qian and Hu Fen, who were Jiexiu, and soon withdrew his troops.

In fact, they led their troops to attack Bingzhou, which was very purposeful. If Cao Liang's main force remained in Hanoi, then Lu Zhao and Chen Qian might spare no effort in the attack, taking advantage of the empty Bingzhou opportunity to achieve something.

But after the main force of the Bingzhou Army returned, they naturally did not prepare to make fun of themselves, not to mention that the task had been completed, so there was no need to stay in Bingzhou, so it was natural that it was reasonable to withdraw the troops.

After retreating to Shangdang, Cao Liang did not stop at Shangdang too much, but went straight to Jinyang.

My father's coffin was sent back to Jinyang under Fang Bu's escort. Cao Liang also sent someone to send a letter to his family to prepare.

Although Cao Yan has been dead for more than two years, Cao Liang planned to bury his father with his bones back to Bingzhou this time. After all, Cao Yan was also a marquis during his lifetime. Now, with Cao Liang's status in Bingzhou, it is really unreasonable not to bury Cao Yan.

After Cao Liang returned to Jinyang, the Cao family had already made all preparations for the funeral and specially found a Feng Shui master. On Longshan west of Jinyang, he selected a Feng Shui treasure land as Cao Yan's burial place.

Of course, there were special people to host the specific funeral. As a filial son, Cao Liang wore mourning clothes. The funeral was not only glorious and decent, but also extremely grand. Cao Liang's move to welcome his father's bones back to Bingzhou was also rumored to be talked about in Jinyang.

Of course, Liu Ying was so satisfied that she could not be satisfied anymore. After Cao Yan died in Beimang Mountain in battle, his body was not recovered, which made Liu Ying feel resentful and could only set up a tomb to mourn.

Now Cao Yan tried every means to recapture Cao Yan's remains from the Sima family, which can be regarded as a huge surprise to Liu Ying.

However, after Cao Liang came back this time, Liu Ying did not see Wang Yuanji and Tao Fu again, which made Liu Ying suspicious. However, Cao Liang was busy with the funeral, and Liu Ying didn't care about asking. She could only wait until Cao Yan was buried and Cao Liang made room for the time, and Liu Ying specially called Cao Liang to the front and asked about Wang Yuanji.

Cao Liang didn't want to hide this from his mother, so he told her directly: "My father's remains were exchanged for Wang Yuanji, otherwise how could the Sima family agree to return his father's remains."

Liu Ying looked shocked and said, "Wang Yuanji is from the Sima family. It is understandable that you have never refused to accept her as a concubine. It would be fine if you send her away, but that child is your own flesh and blood after all, how can you abandon her cruelly?"

Cao Liang laughed silently and said, "Mom, you don't think about it. If this child is really my child, how could I not want him? I have told you before that nothing happened between Wang Yuanji and me. That child is not mine at all. Sending them away this time can be regarded as reuniting their family."

Cao Liang did strongly deny it before, but at that time Liu Ying thought that Cao Liang might not tell the truth because of face. After all, that child is indeed somewhat similar to Cao Liang, so Liu Ying stubbornly believed that this child was Cao Liang's.
