    Jiang Wei's formation killed Wen Hui, and the Jin army, which lost its commander, fell into disintegration.

    The Jin army with fast legs fled with their lives, while those who were slower were crushed to pieces by the Chu army's cavalry.

    The entire eastern camp of Jin was captured by the Chu army in less than half an hour.

    In the enemy camp, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun met, and both of them were very excited.

    "Zilong, where is the Emperor?" Zhang Liao asked excitedly.

    Zhao Yun raised his gun and said with a smile: "The emperor will lead the main force to cross Ji Pass, and they will arrive in a few days. Today, you and I will defeat the Jin invaders first and win the first victory?"

    After meeting with Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun ordered all the troops to set fire to the Jin army's east camp.

    The soldiers of the Chu army set fire everywhere. In a moment, the entire Jin camp was in flames. The raging fire made half of the sky red.

    At this time, the Jin generals on the front line of the Western Camp were still waiting in the cold wind to surround and kill the Chu army who was attacking.

    After Sima Yi was convinced that Zhao Yun had left the camp and headed west, he left the camp in person and rushed to the West Camp to supervise the battle.

    In the darkness of the night, tens of thousands of Jin troops, fully equipped with generals, stood ready, each sharp arrow flashing with cold light, like the eyes of the god of death, ferocious and mysterious.

    Sima Yi stood on his horse, looking calm and calm, as if he was sure of victory.

    However, as time went by, the confidence on Sima Yi's face was quietly changing.

    More than half an hour has passed since the scouts reported that Zhao Yun left the camp and headed west, but no enemy troops were seen attacking the camp, which made Sima Yi increasingly suspicious.

    "It stands to reason that the Chu army is all light cavalry. Even if they take a detour, they should have reached the Western Camp at this time. Why is there no trace at this time? Could it be that Zhao Yun didn't notice it"

    Sima Yi was secretly speculating, and Wang Ling and other generals under his command were also a little impatient. The originally prudent morale gradually began to become irritable.

    "Your Majesty, does the Chu army have another plan?" Jia Kui asked worriedly.

    Sima Yi glanced at him and asked: "Why, do you doubt my judgment?"

    "No, of course I am not." Jia Kui shook his head quickly.  "Now the sky is getting brighter, and the best opportunity is about to pass. However, the Chu army has not come to attack the camp. I just feel that something is strange."

    "My judgment is not wrong. I didn't predict it for a quarter of an hour. The Chu thieves will definitely take action." Sima Yi denied Jia Kui's suspicion and was extremely confident.

    Jia Kui didn¡¯t dare to say any more and just stayed by his side silently.

    At this moment, a faint cry of killing suddenly came from everyone's ears, and the sound did not come from outside the west camp, but seemed to come from the east.

    This sudden change.  The entire Jin Kingdom fell into confusion and uneasiness.

    There was a strange look in Sima Yi's eyes, but he pretended to be serious and only ordered to send out scouts to find out what happened to the east.  But he asked the big camp to stay in the west camp and not move.

    Soon after the scouts were dispatched, a number of horsemen rushed into the west camp from the east and arrived in front of Sima Yi.

    "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the Chu army suddenly attacked from both inside and outside. They attacked the east camp and General Wen was unable to withstand the enemy. Please send reinforcements quickly to rescue us."

    As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their colors in shock.

    Sima Yi¡¯s figure was even more shaken, his expression suddenly changed, and his surprised expression was full of embarrassment.

    "Your Majesty, we have fallen into the trap of the Chu thieves. The fire at Ximen is just a bait. Dongying is the real target of the Chu thieves' attack!" Jia Kui shouted in horror.

    Sima Yi gritted his teeth secretly, feeling shocked and angry in his heart, and couldn't suppress the embarrassment on his face.

    It was only then that he suddenly realized that Yan Liang had taken advantage of him. On the surface, he followed Sima Yi's steps and pretended to fall into a trap. However, he secretly launched a cold arrow and defeated Sima Yi's army.

    "That Yan thief can guess my thoughts even though he is hundreds of miles away. How is this possible"

    Sima Yi was shocked and angry. His self-confidence was being cruelly destroyed by Yan Liang.

    ¡°Your Majesty, it¡¯s not too late to save Dongying as soon as possible.¡± Jia Kui shouted as a reminder.

    Sima Yi woke up from his fright and anger. He quickly calmed down and tried to remain calm. He waved his whip and said, "Even if the Chu thieves have tricks, what's the worry? Follow me to the east camp and kill the Chu thieves who are attacking the camp."  I will annihilate.¡±

    After the order was passed, Sima Yi immediately withdrew from the ambush in the west camp, led more than 40,000 infantry and cavalry, and hurried to the east camp.

    Halfway through the road, I saw red flames reaching into the sky in Dongying, blazing fire, and the entire camp turned into a sea of ????fire in a blink of an eye, burning the increasingly white sky into blood red.

      Dongying has been destroyed!

    Sima Yi¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and half of the calmness and confidence he had pretended to be was destroyed again.

    "Quick, speed up." Sima Yi shouted loudly with his whip raised.

    Although there was a fire in Dongying, Sima Yi guessed that Wen Hui was still fighting hard. If he could arrive in time, as long as he attacked from inside and outside, he could surround and kill the Chu army attacking the camp. Even if Dongying was burned down in the end, it would be worth it.

    However, not long after the Jin army rushed out, they encountered hundreds of Jin soldiers who had dropped their helmets and armor and fled in panic.

    At this time, Sima Yi learned from the defeated soldiers that his favorite general Wen Hui had actually been killed by the Chu army's small general in the rebel army.

    Wen Hui died in battle, the Jin army in the east camp was crushed to death, and the entire camp was defeated by the Chu army.

    Sima Yi¡¯s remaining self-confidence was easily shattered by this shocking bad news.

    Sima Yi was so shocked that he trembled all over and froze on his horse. For a moment, he was stunned and speechless.

    Tens of thousands of Jin troops were also panic-stricken. They never expected that an expected victory would turn into a huge defeat for their own army.

    What made them even more panicked was that they were completely confused from beginning to end. They couldn't figure out how the elusive Chu army captured their Dongying.

    After a while, Sima Yi woke up from the shock and ordered his troops to rush to the east camp, hoping to surround and kill the Chu army.

    When Sima Yi rushed to Dongying, Zhao Yun's light cavalry had already retreated, and Zhang Liao also led the victorious army back to Linfen City. The Jin army was completely defeated.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The?Fire in Dongying didn't recede until nearly noon. The fire burned out, leaving only ashes and ruins.

    Sima Yi turned his horse and walked slowly on top of the ruins. Smelling the stench of the burning corpse, his brows were deep and his face was as gloomy as iron.

    "Your Majesty, the East Camp has been destroyed and five thousand troops have been lost. This is a serious blow to our army. Now the main force of the Chu army has passed Jiguan and will soon arrive at Linfen. I believe that the situation is no longer conducive to fighting again.  Your Majesty, please order the withdrawal of troops immediately."

    Jia Kui¡¯s words hurt Sima Yi deeply.

    This gathering of 80,000 allied troops to march south was the first time that Sima Yi had personally conquered the country since he became emperor.

    Sima Yi was originally determined to win, and wanted to capture the east of Hedong in one fell swoop, expand the Jin State's border southward to the Yellow River, and completely wrap the Jin State in natural dangers with the help of Wangwu Mountain and the Yellow River.

    Who would have thought that his grand blueprint would be easily destroyed by Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, two warriors.

    Sima Yi felt really unwilling.

    So what? He couldn't even defeat Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's less than 20,000 troops. How dare he confront Yan Liang's 200,000 troops head-on?

    You don¡¯t even have the guts to kill him.

    After pondering for a long time and harboring hatred for a long time, Sima Yi let out a long sigh.

    On the same day, Sima Yi ordered the entire siege of Linfen to be withdrawn. The defeated Jin army with more than 70,000 soldiers retreated hastily to the north.

    The siege of Linfen was solved.

    Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun formally reunited. Considering that the main force of the Jin army was still there and that Sima Yi was very cunning, they did not dare to pursue the enemy and went south to report to Yan Liang.

    One day later, the scouts sent the news of Linfen's victory to Wenxi County.

    At this time, Yan Liangfang led his army to Wenxi. After learning the news of Linfen's victory, he was naturally very happy and immediately urged his army to advance northward.

    Sima Yi dares to attack Da Chu first. How can Yan Liang allow him to escape easily?

    Two hundred thousand troops ran wild day and night, following Sima Yi's defeated army along the Fen River in pursuit.

    Sima Yi had no room to breathe, so he could only retreat all the way to Jinyang, abandoning the newly occupied Pingyang City, Yangxian, Xiangling and other princes along the way without fighting.

    Yan Liang sent his army northward to recover all the lost counties in Pingyang County, and his troops reached Jinyang City, the capital of the Jin Kingdom.

    Thirty miles away, Sima Yi led his embarrassed army and finally escaped to Yong'an County. After passing this county, they entered the territory of Xihe County, and further north was Taiyuan County, the heart of the Jin Kingdom.

    Sima Yi retreated to this place and did not dare to retreat any further.

    How could Sima Yi ignore the lessons of Liu Bei's defeat? He did not want to fight a defensive battle with the Chu army in Jinyang City like Liu Bei's Battle of Yecheng.

    Sima Yi was deeply afraid of how powerful the Chu army was in siege.

    Sima Yi had no other choice but to occupy various passes to block the Chu army from moving north.

    But the terrain in the southern part of Bingzhou is far inferior to that in the northern part. In those days, Yan Liang even conquered Sichuan.Even difficult places can be conquered. Sima Yi was not completely sure whether these passes in southern Shanxi could block the Chu army's advance.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    "What should I do? What should I do to stop Yan Thief's troops" In the imperial tent, Sima Yi paced back and forth, his face full of anxiety.

    Jia Kui and other ministers and generals on the left and right had sad faces, and no one could share Sima Yi's worries.

    It¡¯s no wonder that Sima Yi was an excellent counselor. Looking at the whole Jin Dynasty, who can surpass their emperor in wisdom and strategy?

    Now, even Sima Yi has nothing to do, so how can anyone else come up with a clever plan?

    "Your Majesty, if the army holds on to Yong'an, we will fight to the death with the Chu thieves." Wang Ling added.

    Sima Yi glared at him and said coldly: "Have you forgotten the lessons of Li Yang and Ye Cheng?"

    Wang Ling looked embarrassed and retreated silently.

    Strong cities like Liyang and Yecheng could not withstand the Chu army's siege. Of course, Sima Yi would not make the same mistake again. He did not want to become the second Liu Bei.

    In a gloomy atmosphere, Sima Yi frowned and stared at the map.

    After thinking for a long time, Sima Yi's eyes suddenly flashed with light.
