Chapter 1007: It's Already Arranged

Seeing Sima Yi's solemn and sad expression, Sima Shi comforted him: "Father, how can there be no casualties on the battlefield? Life and death are all in peace, so why do you need to worry about it?"

When the two armies are fighting normally, the bodies of the fallen soldiers on their side will be properly disposed of. If the conditions are to be transported back to their hometown for burial, chariots and horses will be arranged for transportation. If there is no conditions, a place with good feng shui will be picked from the local area and buried.

Of course, this is why this happens when a normal battle occurs. In such a tragic war like the Bingzhou War, there is so many casualties that there is no time to take care of it.

In fact, Sima Shi knew very well that when the war was defeated, the situation was extremely chaotic. Sima Jun fled wildly to seize the road, and even the living people could not take care of the bodies of the victims. So he fled south. Sima Jun abandoned countless corpses and no one was going to collect them.

Sima Yi was of course also aware of the situation at that time. At this moment, he was about to return to Luoyang. When he recalled this, he was just feeling something. He sighed and said, "What is Cao Liang on the opposite side doing?"

After the Sima army withdrew from Hedong, there was no more land to the east of the Yellow River and west of the Taihang Mountains. All the Sima army either died or surrendered, but there were still some detailed works lurking in it, inquiring about the news of Bingzhou and conveying it back in time. Sima's army would continue to receive secret information from Bingzhou on the way to Luoyang.

He said quietly: "It's probably celebrating victory. Father, now that the two counties of Pingyang in Hedong are lost, Cao Liang is in charge of Bingzhou. With the danger of the Yellow River Taihang, we may not have a chance if we want to attack Bingzhou again."

The fall of Hedong was a heavy defeat for the Sima family. If the Sima army firmly controlled Hedong, then they would have the capital to advance to the Bingzhou army at any time, because from Hedong to Jinyang, it was basically smooth all the way and there was no big danger.

But now it is different. After the fall of Hedong, Cao Liang occupied the Yellow River in the west and surrounded the danger of Taihang in the east. The Sima army wanted to attack Bingzhou again, and there were many difficulties, so Sima Shi was frowning when he mentioned this matter.

Sima Yi shook his head gently and said, "Shier, you have thought too much. After this battle, for several years, we may no longer have the possibility of attacking Bingzhou. Cao Liang will inevitably expand everywhere with the power of victory. So the first thing you need to do is how to defend, rather than how to take revenge. The land of Bingzhou is high-level, can attack and retreat and defend. It is indeed a rare treasure land. It is just that the land is barren, the population is sparse, and it is difficult to raise fish. For my father, I ignored the strategic position of Bingzhou. Unexpectedly, Cao Liang became a climate because of this, and this was the biggest mistake my father made in his life."

At that time, Sima Yi did not attach much importance to Bingzhou. Cao Wei's military strength was nothing more than three most important. One was Luoyang, which was the center of the court and was the key point that Sima Yi must fight for. The second was Yongliang and Huainan. These two were important centers for Cao Wei to resist foreign enemies, and gathered a large number of elite troops. Sima Yi believed that only by controlling these three places would the world of Cao Wei be at your fingertips.

Cao Liang was very clever to avoid Sima Yi's edge and went to Bingzhou to develop alone. At that time, the Hu people in Bingzhou were in chaos and the lives were in trouble. The situation was very poor. Of course, Sima Yi would not think that Cao Liang had any future in development, so he did not interfere too much in Cao Liang's actions in Bingzhou.

Unexpectedly, in just over a decade, Cao Liang became a climate in Bingzhou, clearing down the Huyi, rectifying the administration of officials, reclaiming wasteland, recruiting soldiers and horses. When Sima Yi realized the hidden danger, Cao Liang was already unstoppable and gradually became a big trend.

This was indeed Sima Yi's biggest mistake. I remember that Cao Liang was just a small Yulin Lang. When Sima Yi returned from expedition to Liaodong and became the minister of the regent, Cao Liang was still standing at the palace gate and trembling.

At that time, Sima Yi probably didn't realize that this humble little person would become his strong enemy in this life and would become a scramble for their Sima family to reach the peak of power. If Sima Yi had realized the danger of Cao Liang at that time, he would not have been so enduring, giving Cao Liang too much room for growth.

It’s a pity that there is never any regret medicine in this world. Now that Cao Liang is getting richer, it is already very difficult for Sima Yi to deal with him again.

Sima Shi was even more frustrated. He and Cao Liang had the hatred of taking his wife. This humiliation almost accompanied him throughout his life. So far, Sima Shi is still a bachelor and has no re-string. It’s not that Sima Shi really lacks a woman, but he can’t swallow his anger, so he is angry and unable to stand in front of him. In other words, he deliberately waits for this position, just to defeat Cao Liang and grab Yang Huiyu back.

Originally, Sima Shi was full of confidence and prepared to take revenge and hate, but after this war, the old revenge was not avenged, but instead added new revenge, just like Cao Liang not only snatched his fiancée, but also abducted his daughter. Sima Shi's resentment was imagined.

However, as the controller of the overall situation, Sima Master warned himself not to lose his reason because of hatred. His little personal grudge with Cao Liang was as vague as sand in the face of the great cause of the Sima family. Although he is considering strategic matters, as for those grudges, he will only have the opportunity to resolve them if he waits to defeat Cao Liang.

Sima Shi said: "Father, the biggest worry now is Wu Qiu Jian from Youzhou. What this guy is best at is changing the ruling. When his father ordered him to attack Bingzhou, he was slanderous and disobedient. He colluded with Cao Liang in secret, he hesitated and watched the situation. Now that we are defeated, Wu Qiu Jian will turn to Cao Liang, and Youzhou will be lost!"

Wuqiu Jian was indeed an opportunist. When Wang Ling was in Huainan, he was ready to join the ranks of anti-Sima. However, Wang Ling's failure in Huainan made Wuqiu Jian dispel this idea. However, this guy was self-respecting and did not obey the orders, but he had always been a big concern of the Sima family. However, the current focus of the Sima family is to deal with Cao Liang in Bingzhou, and it was really beyond the reach of Wuqiu Jian.

This time, the reign of Qiqiu Jian stationed troops in Yanbei was to see the result of this battle in Bingzhou. If Cao Liang was defeated, he would be very likely to take advantage of the situation and send troops to capture the two Xinxing counties of Yanmen. However, if Cao Liang wins, he would be very likely to turn to Cao Liang. If Bingzhou Youzhou is united, the situation in the north would be really worrying.

Sima Yi smiled slightly and said calmly: "Don't worry, Shi'er, I have already made arrangements for my father to deal with Wuqiu Jian. This son and the wife have long planned to get rid of him."
