Chapter 1347: A Five-Day Covenant?

It is certain that after Sima Yi gave this gift, he would never give it again.

Giving most of all the treasures now to Liu Bei meant that Liu Bei also knew such a thing, and Wei Yan just wanted to show his innocence. Giving it to the soldiers is to buy people's hearts, and it is harmless for Wei Yan.

Of course, Wei Yan hoped that these precious things would be put in his pocket and be safe.

Now it's all empty talk.

Sun Qian did not give up his vigilance against Wei Yan, he knew that in the current tense situation, no one except Liu Bei and Xu Shu could easily believe it. One bad one is the end of being killed.

Wei Yan sent someone to divide the treasures sent by Sima Yi into two parts, one of which accounted for eighty percent, and sent it to Liu Bei of the Sword Pavilion. Of course, Sima Yi's letter to Wei Yan, as well as Liu Yu's holy decree, were all sent to Liu Bei.

The remaining two percent, Wei Yan divided it equally among all the soldiers in Nanjiang City.

The soldiers all received real money one by one, chanting the general's wisdom, and one by one they were willing to die for the general.

When Wei Yan saw this situation, the pain in his flesh was a little less, at least the money spent was worth it. However, Sun Qian was extremely vigilant. If Wei Yan's prestige is higher than Liu Bei in the land of Sanba, he can't see anything now, and he will definitely lose his tail in the future and become a huge trouble.

In secret, Sun Qian recorded everything that happened in Nanjiang City, wrote two reports with the same content, and then quietly sent them to Chengdu and Jiange respectively, and handed them over to Liu Bei and Xu Shu.

When it comes to Liu Bei's brother-in-law, no matter how loyal Sun Qian is to Liu Bei, he doesn't dare to act rashly.

And Sun Qian was sent by Liu Bei and Xu Shu to Wei Yan's side to do this.

The defenders of Nanjiang City all got the gifts given by Sima Yi, and they all laughed at Sima Yi for being stupid, so stupid that they thought that they could buy Wei Yan with money, but they didn't know that Wei Yan and Liu Bei were brothers?

Is Sima Yi really stupid? Definitely not! The gold, silver and jewelry he spent were not made by himself, but given to him by Liu Yu, in order to buy the civil and military forces of Yizhou and facilitate the conquest of Yizhou.

Taking these yellow and white things that usually seem extremely precious, and cannot be eaten or drunk at critical moments, Liu Yu is naturally generous. This is a drop in the bucket for Liu Yu. As long as Yizhou is taken, no matter how many treasures are returned, they will return to Liu Yu's hands. This kind of deal, Liu Yu knows clearly, is definitely a good deal.

Sima Yi can naturally understand Liu Yu's thoughts, and he is extremely bold in using it. He was also reluctant to use such a low-level strategy. It seems that Sima Yi wants to buy Wei Yan, but in fact, it is to make suspicion arise between Liu Bei and Wei Yan. Sima Yi could conclude that Wei Yan was appointed by Liu Bei as the chief general of the land of Sanba, and there must be nails arranged by Liu Bei by his side. After giving the gift, even if Wei Yan showed a hint of heartbeat, he would be targeted by Liu Bei's henchmen and quietly sent to Liu Bei's eyes.

Sima Yi didn't care how Liu Bei reacted, he only knew that one of the links in his strategy was that someone needed to tell Liu Bei about his attempt to buy Wei Yan, and his strategy could be carried out smoothly.

Interlocking is Sima Yi's strategy.

Among Liu Jun, the soldiers were all incredulous about Sima Yi's gift to Wei Yan. One by one, I can't figure out why. Only Xiahou Yuan groaned. He guessed Sima Yi's intentions, but he couldn't be sure.

At noon that day, Sima Yi led the army to Nanjiang City again.

This time, Liu Beijun of Yizhou in Nanjiang City was not so nervous. They knew that Sima Yi wanted to persuade Wei Yan to surrender, so there would be no real attack. They can take it easy.

Sima Yi rode a tall horse and easily came to Nanjiang City, and in full view of everyone, he said loudly to Wei Yan on Nanjiang City: "Is General Wenchang here!" Ask for a meeting under Sima Zhongda! ”

Wei Yan had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Sima Yi come out, he also appeared immediately and responded, "Ben will be here!" Sima Yi, what's the matter with you? ”

"The general is well, can you read the letter below?" Sima Yi arched his hand and said.

Wei Yan said disdainfully: "Sima Yi, I really want to thank you." The gift you have sent, Ben has already received. Ben has already sent it to the eldest brother and has become the eldest brother's military expenses. Your letter was also sent to the eldest brother. Ben will have killed you with that heart! Ben will never betray Big Brother. ”

With such a disdainful look, Wei Yan did it for Sun Qian next to him.

Sun Qian can now stare at Wei Yan.

Sima Yi's expression was still so soft, and he said: "The general is loyal and righteous, and I admire it so much." It's just a mundane thing, and the general naturally doesn't pay attention to it. It's rash to get under it. But have you thought about it, General? The general is loyal to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei has great trust in the general? ”

"What a sharp tooth. If you want to separate the love between the general and the eldest brother, you are blind! No more nonsense! Ben will be in this Nanjiang City now, if you have the ability, come and attack, Ben will let you know what is called impregnable! Wei Yan scolded directly.

"It's a pity!" Sima Yi pretended to sigh and said, "The general is a beautiful person!" What a thief! I wanted to be a minister in the same hall with the general in the future, but now it has become a pipe dream. That's it! In the next will become the high righteousness of the general. I hope the general will not regret it in the future! ”

Wei Yan shouted to all the soldiers and ordered: "The whole army is on alert!" ”

The soldiers of Nanjiang City all moved, they knew that a great battle was about to begin.

But Sima Yi did not give an order, but said loudly: "I admire the general's righteousness!" Within five days, there will be no attack on Nanjiang City. ”

As soon as these words came out, they instantly caused a huge uproar.

Even Liu Jun's side was surprised.

"What!? Five days! Ma Chaoda was dissatisfied, and hurriedly came to Sima Yi's side to persuade him: "Zhongda, this is not good!" ”

"Hugh has to say more!" Sima Yi's face changed, and he said very seriously: "If you don't deal with it from military law!" ”

Ma Chao was choked speechless.

Sima Yi turned around with a smile and said to Wei Yan: "Within five days, I won't do it rashly." General, take your leave. ”

After speaking, Sima Yi took all the soldiers and horses away from Nanjiang City again.

Wei Yan and Sun Qian are stupid, is what Sima Yi said true? If you don't attack for five days, there is such a good thing?

"Is what Sima Yi said true or false?" Wei Yan was very suspicious in his heart and looked at Sun Qian.

Sun Qian couldn't give Wei Yan an answer either.

In desperation, Wei Yan ordered Nanjiang City to be strictly defended and not to relax.

When Sima Yi's army returned to the camp, the whole army was confused by Sima Yi's decision. If you don't attack for five days, you will waste time and food here, and you will even more likely to delay your fighters, and eventually lead to a situation that is erosive and out of control.

Sima Yi returned to his big tent like a nobody, and asked people to prepare a table of wine and food, and he wanted to enjoy it.

And Xiahou Yuan and Ma Chao rushed into Sima Yi's big tent.

Ma Chaoda said angrily: "Zhongda, you actually decided not to attack for five days!" Ben will never agree! ”

In such a situation, Xiahou Yuan, who usually doesn't talk much, echoed Ma Chao's words and said, "My lord, please think twice!" The situation changed in an instant, and five days was too long. ”

Sima Yi looked at Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan, and finally laughed and said, "Haha, two generals, please take a seat!" The official asked people to prepare wine and food, so let's have a good drink. ”

"You're still in the mood for a drink!?" Ma Chao's eyes widened.

Xiahou Yuan was a little speechless, alcohol was not allowed in the army, why did Sima Yi, as the main general, knowingly commit a crime?

"Come on! All sit down. Sima Yi beckoned Xiahou Yuan and Ma Chao to sit down.

After a while, a relatively simple table of wine and food was brought up by the soldiers.

"The battlefield is simple, so we can only settle for it." Sima Yi picked up the wine glass and drank it.

Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan glanced at each other, and they felt that Sima Yi was absolutely crazy.

"My lord! Let's get down to business. No siege for five days! If Your Majesty learns, we won't be able to explain it. Xiahou Yuan said bitterly.

Whoever makes Sima Yi the main general, the whole army will listen to him. From the past, Sima Yi continued to establish his authority, so that now even Ma Chao can't help Sima Yi. Xiahou Yuan felt that his battle this time would be very difficult.

Ma Chao clenched his fists tightly, resisting his urge to beat Sima Yi fatly.

Sima Yi drank a glass of wine, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Do you really think that the city will not be attacked within five days?" ”

If Sima Yi really doesn't attack Nanjiang City within five days, there will be ghosts.

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan instantly calmed down, it turned out that this was Sima Yi's strategy.

"My lord, are you confusing Wei Yan?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

"Of course!" Sima Yi said affirmatively.

Ma Chao groaned and said, "Wei Yan won't be so stupid, he will definitely not believe that our army will not attack in five days." ”

"Huh! What I want is that Wei Yan doesn't believe it! Sima Yi said confidently.

Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan couldn't turn their brains all of a sudden, Sima Yi's thinking jumped too much, their IQ was limited, and they really couldn't keep up.

"Well, I won't hide it from you. You also know that both General Cao and Meng Da were sent out by me. And today's gifts, including Nanjiang City's words, are part of the plan! Sima Yi explained.

Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan understood a little bit. It's just a gift-giving thing, will it be a bit expensive? But Sima Yi didn't care, and they didn't say much.

"On the orders of His Majesty, our troops and horses conquered the eastern part of Yizhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at the land of Sanba. And Liu Bei had already dealt with it and sent Wei Yan as the main general to guard the land of Sanba. The forces that Wei Yan had at hand that could be mobilized were almost equal to the forces of our troops. However, the enemy's defense and attack will be greatly disadvantageous to our army. If our army continues to attack, the casualties will be huge, and we will not be able to fulfill Your Majesty's instructions in the future, delaying Your Majesty's great plan. Therefore, attacking is the next step, and attacking the mind and outwitting is the king. "Sima Yi may be in a good mood today, and he said a lot to Xiahou Yuan and Ma Chao.

Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan also listened patiently, Sima Yi's ideas were of great learning to them.

Sima Yi finally said: "Liu Bei is a hypocritical villain, looking at General Guan and General Zhang, you can know that Liu Bei is not at ease with Wei Yan, and there must be eyeliner by his side." If it was today's incident, what Liu Bei knew, did the two think Liu Bei would do this? ”

"Our army Chen Jun is in Nanjiang, Liu Bei will not do anything to Wei Yan. Changing generals on the spot is a big taboo. Unless Liu Bei doesn't want a will. But suspicion is real. "Ma Chao won't be stupid.

"That's right! This is also the reason why I sent General Cao and General Meng and others out! Sima Yi said with certainty.

Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan finally understood what Sima Yi's plan was now.

"So what's next for us?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

"That guy Wei Yan should be wondering if I have a plot against him at this moment. Let's hang him for a day or two. Meng Qi, Miaocai, you take your soldiers and horses to approach Nanjiang City every two hours, you can make as much momentum as you can, stay one mile away from Nanjiang City, you don't need to launch any attacks, just watch Nanjiang City there. If Wei Yan dares to go out of the city, you will retreat. Sima Yi said gloomily: "I will send another big gift to Wei Yan." ”

Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan had goosebumps when they saw Sima Yi's expression, they knew that Wei Yan was going to be miserably calculated by Sima Yi this time.

At this time, in Nanjiang City, Wei Yan and Sun Qian were constantly thinking about Sima Yi's every move today in his mansion to see if he could deduce some clues.

It's a pity that with their brains, they definitely can't think of Sima Yi's calculations.

"What does this Sima Yi want to do!?" Wei Yan felt that his brain was not enough, could it be that Sima Yi really wanted to submit himself wholeheartedly to the Shenwu Imperial Court? Looking at Sima Yi's words and deeds, it really has that kind of taste.

Sun Qian didn't believe Sima Yi's lie that he wouldn't attack for five days, and he was 100% sure that Sima Yi must be a conspiracy.

"Gongyou, I really can't figure out what Sima Yi will do next. It seems to be in a fog, and I can't see the details of the other party clearly. What a disturbance in my heart! Wei Yan told the truth.

"General Wenchang, no matter what conspiracy Sima Yi has, our army just needs to stick to it." Sun Qian said that he always said this sentence.

When the two of them couldn't figure it out, a scout ran in directly from outside the door, and he brought a piece of news that made both Sun Qian and Wei Yan feel bad.

The Gao Shun Department of Liu Jun in Jingzhou, Fuling County, sent two lines of soldiers and horses led by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, each leading 8,000 troops. Zhang Ren attacked Fengdu City in an attempt to march into Ba County. Yan Yan marched into Linjiang City and threatened Padang County. The guards of the two cities sent letters of help to Wei Yan.

It's good to say a little if someone else attacks, but Zhang Ren and Yan Yan have a huge reputation in Yizhou, and people continue to take refuge in them along the way, and the strength of the two of them has slowly reached 10,000!

Hearing such news, Wei Yan and Sun Gan's faces changed drastically, and it seemed that the land of Sanba was about to fall into a situation of being surrounded and beaten.
