    Jinyang City, Imperial Palace.  

    The candlelight was dim, and the whole palace exuded a kind of depressed mood.

    Sima Yi rested his forehead on his hands and sat on the cold dragon couch with his eyes closed. He remained motionless, just like a lifeless statue.

    Footsteps sounded. Zhang Chunhua held Sima Shi with his left hand and Sima Zhao with his right hand. Mother and son walked into the hall uneasily.

    "Your Majesty."

    "Father."

    Zhang Chunhua pulled his sons to kneel down and performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

    Sima Yi opened his eyes, raised his head slightly, and said feebly: "Get up."

    The three of them, mother and son, just stood up. Looking at Sima Yi's solemn expression, it seemed that he had something on his mind, and he seemed to be making some kind of important decision.

    "Your Majesty, I have summoned my concubine and my master this late at night. What are your instructions?" Zhang Chunhua asked cautiously.

    Sima Yi took a long breath and said silently: "I have sent an envoy to Chu camp to ask Yan Liang to surrender."

    As soon as these words came out, the mother and son were immediately in an uproar.

    "Father, that Yan Liang is a devil and a thief. Isn't our Dajin the right way? How can the right way surrender to the evil way?" Master Sima screamed excitedly.

    Zhang Chunhua was also shocked and said: "Your Majesty, Yan Liang was cruel and unkind. Many princes who surrendered to him were brutally killed by him. Now that we are not at the end of our rope, how can we surrender to Yan Liang so easily?"

    Mother and son were agitated. Whether out of fear or resentment, they obviously did not agree to surrender to Yan Liang.

    Looking at the excited mother and son, Sima Yi, who had always had a gloomy face, suddenly burst into laughter.

    "Your Majesty" Zhang Chunhua suddenly looked at a loss, looking at his laughing husband in confusion.

    After a while, Sima Yi stopped laughing and said with a sinister sneer: "Sima comes from a famous family. I represent the will of God and the people. Do you really think that I will surrender to that cruel man Yan Liang?"

    The mother and son were stunned by the rhetorical question.

    After a while, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed across Zhang Chunhua's face, and he hurriedly said: "Did your Majesty use a trick to fake surrender and deliberately confuse the handsome thief?"

    Sima Yi stroked his beard slightly and smiled without saying a word, which was obviously his acquiescence.

    "It turns out that Your Majesty has an ulterior motive. He really scared me to death." Zhang Chunhua stroked his plump breasts and let out a long breath.

    After a pause, Zhang Chunhua's beautiful eyebrows darkened, "Although Your Majesty has a clever plan to feign surrender, the Yan bandits are really powerful. With our current military strength, even if we try to take advantage of them and launch a night attack, we may not be able to do anything serious."  What a gain.¡±

    Zhang Chunhua was smart. As soon as she found out that Sima Yi had resorted to a false surrender plan, she thought that Sima Yi wanted to use surrender as a cover to attack the Chu camp at night.

    "Who said I was going to attack the enemy camp at night?" A sly smile appeared on Sima Yi's lips.

    Zhang Chunhua's figure was shaken, and his face was a little dazed.

    Sima Yi, however, stroked his beard and said calmly: "Of course I know that the enemy's thieves are powerful. Of course I am not using this false surrender strategy to attack the enemy camp at night."

    "Then what is your Majesty's purpose?" Zhang Chunhua asked blankly, his eyebrows deeply condensed.

    "I told the city not to leave and retreat to northern Shanxi."

    Zhang Chun's figure trembled, and his appearance suddenly changed, but he understood what Sima Yi meant.

    His husband, the emperor, could not withstand the siege of 300,000 Chu troops. He did not dare to hold on any longer and planned to abandon the city and flee.

    "Your Majesty, Jinyang is the capital, and it is also the heart of our Jin Dynasty. If we abandon it like this, I'm afraid"

    "Then tell me, besides telling the city not to leave, do I have any other options?"

    Sima Yi frowned and asked sternly. Zhang Chunhua was so shocked that his body trembled and his lips trembled slightly. He didn't know how to respond.

    Zhang Chunhua is also very smart. With her knowledge, she can certainly see the current situation clearly.

    Jingxing Pass has been opened, the Chu army's food route is unobstructed, and there is no problem with logistical supplies. With the strength of Chu State, even if it surrounds Jinyang for a year and a half like Li Yang did in the past, there will be no problem.

    Not to mention a year and a half, a few months later, when Yan Liang holds the gunpowder artifact again, Jinyang City will probably fall in an instant.

    The fall of Jinyang is an irreversible established fact.

    Zhang Chunhua became depressed, his expression clearly showed that he no longer objected, but he was also full of worry.

    "But, if we abandon Jinyang, where can we go?" Zhang Chunhua asked blankly.

     Sima Yi raised his hand and pointed to the north: "I plan to lead my army to avoid Yanmen. I will rely on the Xianbei people in the north and Yanmen's natural dangers in the south. I can't do anything to the Yan thieves."

    Sima Yi appeared to be full of confidence and self-confidence on the surface, but Zhang Chunhua could tell that Sima Yi, who seemed confident, had a little bit of confidence.

    Zhang Chunhua also knew that although Yanmen and other northern counties were dangerous, they were poor and remote areas, and the Xianbei people were busy with civil strife and could not care about the Jin Dynasty who came to help them.

    "Don't leave the city and retreat to Yanmen. The best outcome for the Jin country is to live in a corner. If you want to compete for supremacy in the world, I'm afraid there is no chance."

    "However, facing such a powerful opponent as the Chu State, being able to keep that one-third of an acre of land is already considered a luxury. Any attempt to compete for the world is simply wishful thinking.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Chunhua had nothing to say and could only use silence to agree with Sima Yi's decision.

    She knew that her husband had no choice but to do so.

    Seeing that he had convinced his wife, Sima Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then told their mother and son to quickly pack up Xinruan and prepare to escape from the city at any time.

    Zhang Chunhua did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly retreated with his two frightened children.

    Watching his wife and children leave, Sima Yi fell down onto the dragon throne. The confidence he had kept up on his face completely collapsed, and all that was left was sadness.

    "You thief Yan, you have forced me into this. I will ask you to repay this hatred sooner or later one day" Sima Yi gritted his teeth and swore angrily.

    ¡­¡­

    Outside Jinyang City, Chu camp.

    In the imperial tent, there were many generals with solemn expressions, and a fierce murderous intention surged like fire in the tent.

    The generals all knew that something big was going to happen when the emperor gathered with them today. They even felt that a battle that would determine their surname was about to happen.

    "Yesterday, Sima Yi sent someone to ask for my surrender." Yan Liang looked around at the people and said calmly.

    As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden commotion in the big tent.

    Some people are excited, some are surprised, and some are suspicious.

    Before anyone could speak, Yan Liang said loudly: "I have seen through Sima Yi's trick. This thief is obviously pretending to surrender, but in fact he wants to take the opportunity to escape. I have called you here to arrange for you to surround and kill Sima Yi."  Dog thief!"

    The order was passed, the crowd was excited, and there was a commotion in the big tent.

    The generals all looked at Yan Liang with awe, admiring Yan Liang's burning eyes and admiring him for seeing through Sima Yi's annihilation plan.

    The generals are even more passionate, and their fighting spirit is as fierce as fire. They all want to take the lead at this critical moment to destroy Jin and make immortal achievements.

    "Generals, listen to your orders!" Yan Liang shouted sternly.

    The generals were all in high spirits and bowed to obey orders.

    Yan Liang then ordered Huang Zhong, Zhang Ren, Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu, Zhu Huan, Yan Yan and other generals to lead 10,000 troops each. However, when the Jin army opened the city and fled, all ten groups attacked together.  Surrounded and killed Sima Yi who had escaped.

    Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's western armies have not yet arrived, and Yan Liang only has more than 100,000 troops under his command. If Jinyang is surrounded from all sides, the troops will be easily scattered. Sima Yi can concentrate 40,000 to 50,000 troops and take the opportunity to break through and break out of the encirclement.

    Therefore, Yan Liang did not issue an order to besiege the city, but left a way out. When Sima Yi fled, he could concentrate all his troops to intercept and kill him.

    After the decree was passed down, the generals returned to camp with enthusiasm, each commanding their own troops and horses, ready to attack at any time.

    As soon as Yan Liang's order was issued, Sima Yi sent an envoy again in the evening, claiming that he was willing to accept Yan Liang's new conditions in order to surrender to Chu.

    It turns out that Yan Liang made Sima Yi mistakenly think that he had fallen into his scheme, so he pretended to bargain with Sima Yi.

    Sima Yi wanted to demote himself to the throne and become a local emperor. Yan Liang said that since the Han Dynasty, those who claimed the title of king were regarded as disobedient. Yan Liang unified the world and wanted to surpass the Qin and Han Dynasties. Of course, he would not allow anyone with a different surname to be crowned king or Duke.  .

    Therefore, Yan Liang asked Sima Yi to make him a marquis, so he agreed to his request to surrender.

    Yan Liang negotiated terms with Sima Yi so seriously. In the eyes of uninformed people, he naturally looked like he really planned to accept Sima Yi's request for surrender.

    The envoy brought Yan Liang's conditions back to Jinyang City. When Sima Yi and Jia Kui heard this, they were both happy, thinking that Yan Liang had fallen into their trap of surrender.

    Otherwise, how could Yan Liang bargain with them?

    Seeing that Yan Liang had fallen into the trap, Sima Yi immediately ordered the soldiers and horses in the city to gather secretly and wait for him.It was late in the evening before an envoy was sent out of the city to the Chu camp, claiming that he was willing to accept the conditions offered by Yan Liang. He said that he would send someone to present a surrender letter tomorrow, and then he gave up the city of Jinyang and retreated to northern Shanxi.

    Yan Liang has made arrangements here, but on the surface he happily accepted Sima Yi's surrender, rewarded the envoy generously, and personally drafted a decree to confer Sima Yi the title of Marquis of Yanmen, asking him to garrison the border and guard the northern border for Da Chu.

    The envoy returned to Jinyang happily with Yan Liang's generous reward and the decree.

    In the palace, Sima Yi held the imperial edict in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and his gloomy face flashed with sarcasm.

    After a while, Sima Yi tore the imperial edict in his hand into pieces.

    "Yan Thief, Yan Thief, you are really arrogant. Do you think I, Sima Yi, will really surrender to a humble man like you, haha~~"

    As he spoke, Sima Yi raised his hand, and debris flew into the air.

    Jia Kui, who was beside him, was also smiling slightly. There was both relief and scornful irony in his smile.

    After laughing wildly for a long time, Sima Yi suddenly stopped. His eyes were like lightning, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Pass my decree, all the troops will come out tonight, follow me to play the handsome thief, and fight out of the city!" (To be continued.
