Cao Cao was only one day away from taking Hefei, but in the end he fell short, returned from Hefei, and led the tired army to retreat to Shouchun to temporarily station, intending to recuperate for a period of time and then try to make a good plan.
At this moment, it is the middle of winter, the ice is three feet, the horn bow is difficult to control, and the armor is difficult.
Cao Cao stationed troops inside and outside Shouchun City, sent people to prepare grain and grass, and recruited soldiers from his rule to prepare for another battle after the beginning of spring next year.
The Han army was also temporarily stationed in Hefei, and when the weather warmed up slightly, they attacked Cao's army north to regain lost territory.
After repelling Cao Wei's main army, Yue Yun couldn't stay, bid farewell to Xue Rengui, and led his headquarters to return to Wancheng to help in the battle.
Only Lu Meng and Huo Jun were left to lead 15,000 men and horses to guard Runan, which was enough to ensure safety in a short time.
Sent away Yue Yun, Xue Rengui, who was carrying more than ten wounds, collected his troops and returned to Hefei, Zhuge Liang personally greeted him in front of the city gate, and hugged the fan to salute: "Liang has heard of the general's merits, and the single halberd of the horse is seven in and seven out of the hundreds of thousands of Cao troops, and countless generals have been killed, and the Cao army that has been killed is frightened, and the overlord of Western Chu is only afraid of it when he is alive."
Xue Rengui's face showed a look of shame, and he clenched his fists and said: "Kong Ming praised it falsely, the general has realized that he is a little arrogant and ignores the overall situation, if it is not for Long Ju and Jiang Wei to lead the troops to support this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take advantage."
And Kong Ming, you can easily detect Cao Thief's tricks, set up an ambush on the way, and shot Cao Wei's fierce general Cao Wenzhao while talking and laughing.
"Hehe Xue Zhenbei's words are really tormenting, Liang is just a scholar, and he doesn't need to fight bloodily, so he thinks about it a lot.
The duel between the two armies and the battle on the battlefield still rely on a strong general like General Xue to take the lead and inspire the morale of the army, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. ” At the moment, the two of you say a word to me, repay the peach, release the previous suspicions, and have the taste of harmony.
All the civil and military forces present, including Yao Guangxiao, Chen Gong, Long Ji, Wei Chigong, Jiang Wei, Ma Dai and others, were all happy and showed happy smiles.
After the greetings, Zhuge Liang ordered to carry out the coffin prepared in advance, collect the bodies of Lu Junyi and Chen Zhi, and set up a mourning hall in Hefei Taishou Mansion for the army lieutenant general to pay tribute. and personally repaired a book, which was sent to the Jinling court and the hands of the Son of Heaven in Chengdu, and asked for a posthumous seal for Lu Junyi and Chen Zhi.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the generals and schools came to the mourning hall one after another to pay respects, Zhuge Liang suddenly sank his face, took out the fake festival given by the Son of Heaven with his own hands, and stared at Ma Dai with a serious gaze: "Ma Bozhan, you can recognize the items in my hand."
The festival is the emperor's imperial token, its shape is like a bamboo pole, with the gold, tin, gold, silver and other valuables as decoration, is a token on behalf of the emperor's envoy.
The Yue is a token shaped like an axe, cast from silver, and used in conjunction with the runes, called "False Jieyue", which is equivalent to the Shang Fang sword given by the Emperor, and has the right to cut first and then play.
Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were three ways to appoint ministers or military generals given by the emperor, namely holding festivals, false festivals, and envoys.
The festival bearer has the right to kill people who have no official position on weekdays, but in times of war, the power can be increased, and he has the right to directly kill officials who are less than 2,000 stones.
That is to say, except for the local supreme Taishou and the prime minister, who enjoy 2,000 stones, all subordinate officials can be cut first and then played.
A higher level than the holding festival is the "envoy holding festival", whether it is in the peace period or wartime, they have the right to kill officials under 2,000 stones, and they can be directly killed without the permission of the imperial court.
Because of the enormous power, the imperial court rarely granted the position of "envoy" to local officials.
In addition to the festival and the festival, there is another type of appointment called "false festival".
The "false" verse means temporary borrowing, not false or forged.
However, the object of the "false festival" is only applicable to the management of the army, and in wartime, it can kill non-commissioned soldiers who violate military orders or military attaches below the rank of general, but they do not have the right to intervene in local personnel, so they are generally authorized to manage the army by military generals.
Later, because of the frequent wars, Liu Wei issued an edict to add two titles in addition to the three titles of holding festivals, envoys, and false festivals, one is a fake festival, and the other is a fake yellow Yue.
Those who have been given false titles have the right to kill local civil officials and generals below the rank of miscellaneous in peacetime or wartime.
In addition to having the right to kill the Taishou and miscellaneous generals, there is even the right to kill the civil officials who hold the festival and the military generals who hold the festival.
So far, there are only four people in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty court who have obtained the power of the fake Jieyue, namely Yue Fei who sat in the Central Plains, Li Jing who supervised the troops in Hebei, and Wu Qi who conquered Guishan in the south.
As for Zhuge Liang, he was granted the right to fake Jieyue by Liu Wei when he left Chengdu, in order to be afraid that Xue Rengui would not be restrained by his identity, so that Zhuge Liang could take out the fake Jieyue to scare this cheap brother-in-law and eldest brother-in-law.
In Liu Wei's view, in order to defeat Cao Cao, who poured out of the nest, it was necessary to concentrate the military power of Huainan in the hands of one person to avoid creating a situation in which each of them fought for each other.
Compared with the two, Liu Wei believed that Zhuge Liang was more suitable than Xue Rengui to command the three armies, so before Zhuge Liang left Chengdu, he secretly granted the "False Jieyue" and ordered him to be the governor of the Huainan battlefield to resist Cao Wei's invasion.
It's just that Zhuge Liang has a generous personality, and when he had a dispute with Xue Rengui, in order to avoid intensifying the conflict, he didn't raise a fake jieyue to suppress Xue Rengui.
But he chose very wisely to show his power of "fake festival" in front of a full house of civil and military generals at this time.
In addition to Zhuge Liang and the main generals of the three major legions, most of the other small army generals are "fake festivals", including Qin Qiong, Xue Rengui, Huo Quzhi, Wei Qing, Wei Yan, Qi Jiguang, Lu Xun, Zhao Kuo and other small army generals or deputy generals of the big army are all fake festivals.
The local assassins in various states, such as Wang Meng, Wang Shouren, Shang Ying, Zhang Juzheng, and others, were granted the power to "hold festivals" to restrain local officials and deter lawbreakers.
It is precisely because there are very few people in the Eastern Han Dynasty who have the power of "fake Jieyue", so Lu Junyi and Ma Dai did not take it to heart when they saw Zhuge Liang's envoy holding the fake Jieyue, and even rejected Zhuge Liang's order with "the general will not be subject to the order outside".
And when Zhuge Liang was holding the fake Jieyue at the moment, and questioned Ma Dai in front of Xue Rengui and the full hall of civil and military personnel, everyone was shocked, and they all muttered in their hearts: "Ah, this, this Zhuge Kongming turned out to be the person who has the power of the fake Jieyue, I really didn't expect it."
"Ah, it turns out that Kong Ming is a fake festival general given by His Majesty, why didn't you say it earlier" Xue Rengui was a little embarrassed, shook his head slightly, and blamed himself.
However, Xue Rengui thought about it carefully, if Zhuge Liang brought out a fake knotted Yue to suppress himself as soon as he came to Hefei, he was afraid that he might not be able to obey him.
Nine times out of ten, he will repair books and ask the Son of Heaven to understand, why let Zhuge Liang a young scholar ride on his head, is his credit and information not as good as a scholar And now Zhuge Liang easily resolved the siege of Hefei, strategized, dispatched troops, and steadily controlled the overall situation.
First ordered the dragon to rescue in advance, rescued Ma Dai and more than 4,000 soldiers from the siege of more than 100,000 Cao troops, and ordered Jiang Wei to set up an ambush and shoot Cao Wenzhao.
If Xue Rengui's behavior of taking the head of the general in the army is "one force to reduce ten meetings", and Zhuge Liang's way of using troops is "four or two thousand catties", compared with the two, Zhuge Liang's performance is more commanding, which makes Xue Li have to be convinced.
At this moment, instead of feeling disgusted when he saw Zhuge Liang take out the fake festival, he was grateful to Zhuge Liang for his generosity, and felt that Zhuge was indeed more suitable than himself to be the coach.
Seeing Zhuge Liang questioning himself seriously, Ma Dai's face couldn't help but change suddenly, and he snorted: "This, this is a fake festival given by His Majesty, and he has the right to directly kill the miscellaneous generals and the civil and military forces below the Taishou."
"Ma Bozhan" Zhuge Liang coughed, "I will send an envoy to summon you and Lu Junyi to withdraw from the army with a fake festival, but you two turn a blind eye.

Lu Junyi has died on the battlefield, and the merits and demerits are offset, and Liang no longer asks.
But instead of stopping you, you encouraged Lu Junyi to disobey his orders, so that he caused heavy casualties, and Liang asked you if you were guilty."
"I Will Be Convicted" Although it was the cold winter moon and the cold wind was howling outside the lobby, Ma Dai saw sweat on his forehead, his face was like dirt, and he involuntarily knelt on one knee and fell to the ground. did not see the situation clearly, let alone stop General Lu, so that he was ambushed by Cao's army.
The last will be convicted and will be punished."
Zhuge Liang bowed slightly: "Ma Dai, you disobeyed orders and despised the false Jieyue, so that the main general Lu Junyi was killed and more than 10,000 soldiers were lost.
According to the military law of the Han Dynasty, the punishment of beheading should be punished, but I don't know if you are convinced."
After confessing his guilt, Ma Dai was relieved, his heart was calm, his forehead no longer sweated, and his face was no longer pale.
Kneeling on one knee and smiling slightly: "General Zuo handled it properly, Ma Dai has no face to face the soldiers of the three armies, and he is willing to be beheaded to set an example, so that the officers and soldiers of the three armies will not repeat the mistakes of the past in the future."
"Ma Bozhan dares to act, he is really a man" Zhuge Liang put away the fake knot, and called out loudly, "Where is the knife and axe hand?"
Immediately, four burly and fierce executioners with big knives in their hands lined up and walked into the mourning hall: "I don't know what General Zuo commands" Zhuge Liang pointed at Ma Dai, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and shouted: "Take this contempt for the fake festival, disobey the order, and kill the main general Ma Dai out of the Taishou Mansion and behead the public."
Hang the head of the camp gate, and warn the three armies that if there is disobedience in the future, they will be beheaded and unforgiving."
