Chapter 291: The Poisoner's Scheme

"Huh? So it's all Liu Bei's fake son who is doing ghosts? Listening to the envoy's words, Cao Cao's face sank: "It was he who made Liu Bei delay for a month, and he was also the one who used the plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, isn't this Liu Feng in Shangyong, when did he return to Chengdu?"

And Liu Feng is just a reckless man, when did he have such wisdom? ”

When the envoy heard this, he said: "King Wei, it's not Liu Feng, it's Liu Bei's own son Liu Chan. ”

"Huh? Is this Liu Chan again? Cao Cao's face became even more gloomy, and he said coldly: "I remember that the paper book last time was made by this Liu Chan, right?" ”

Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Yes, not only that, at the beginning, the King of Wei made Nanzhong strong and strong, and the barbarians rebelled, and it was also Liu Chan who led the army to pacify. According to the scout's report, he went to Nanzhong last year and pacified the two major barbarian tribes, with a population of more than 100,000. Although this person is young, he is young and old, and he is quite popular in Yizhou, and there are even rumors among the people that he was born to know that he is the reincarnation of a saint. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "I can't imagine that Zhao Yun had a baby in his arms in Changbanpo at the beginning, and now he has achieved this achievement, this Liu Chan is only eleven years old this year, right?" Hey, Liu Bei and Sun Jian have sent me a lot, but my son Cao Pi has sent Sun Quan and Liu Chan a lot. ”

The civil and military forces were silent.

After a long time, Sima Yi arched his hand and asked, "King Wei, is this corn still planted?" ”

"Heh, I'm actually stumped by a yellow-mouthed child!" Cao Cao sneered, shook his head and said: "If you don't plant it, if you plant it, it will be more harmful, and if you plant it, the 50,000 corn will definitely be harvested, so it's better to use it as rations and let the people plant soybeans."

Just tell the world that sweet potatoes and corn are not easy to preserve, and in the process of transportation, the sweet potatoes have rotted, and the corn is moldy and cannot be sown! ”

"No!" Sima Yi gave up his orders, relatively speaking, he was more in favor of not sowing.

If it is planted, it will not germinate at that time, and the people will blame Cao Cao for being the king, and it will also affect the planting of other crops, making Guanzhong's harvest poor this year, and even causing a rebellion, which is a big disappointment.

If you don't plant it, just find a reason and say that the seed is bad.

Cao Cao sighed and said to the crowd of civil and military personnel: "Wait and retreat, Wenhe stays!" ”

Jia Xu smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Everyone retreated, leaving only Jia Xu standing in the hall.

Cao Cao was condescending, staring at Jia Xu with a pair of eyes, and said: "Wenhe, I know that you know how to protect yourself, but now that the situation is in crisis, Liu Bei has corn and sweet potatoes." Within three years, troops will be sent to commit crimes. Although Sima Yi is wise, during this time, all the strategies he offered were broken by Zhuge Liang, please teach me! ”

Jia Xu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "To deal with Liu Bei, I don't care about uniting Sun Quan, just like Sima Yi's strategy during the Battle of Hanzhong!" ”

"You know my concerns!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "This plan is too risky! ”

Jia Xu was silent.

Cao Cao stared at Jia Xu and said coldly: "If you don't offer a plan today, I will kill you!" ”

"King Wei!" Jia Xu sighed and said: "Now that Liu Bei has sweet potatoes and corn, if he waits for him to recuperate, Liu Bei's invasion in the future will become a whale swallowing the world!" Therefore, if you want to defeat Liu Bei, the only way to do this is to let him send troops in advance! Or maybe King Wei took the initiative! ”

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this: "The last time in the first battle of Hanzhong, I sent 100,000 troops, and I still have no choice but to Liu Bei, now Liu Bei is sitting firmly in Hanzhong, and the last consumption in Guanzhong has not yet recovered, how can I take the initiative to attack?"

As for Jingzhou, Guan Yu has an army of 50,000, Xiangyang in the north, and public security in the east, all of which are fortified cities. Even if I unite with Sun Quan, it will be difficult to take Jingzhou in a short time, Sun Quan has coveted Jingzhou for a long time, if I unite with him, it is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger! When Liu Bei's reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid that I won't get cheap. ”

Jia Xu replied: "Then the only way to do this is to let Liu Bei take the initiative!" ”

Cao Cao groaned: "How to let him take the initiative?" ”

"Pretending to be sick, guilty!" Jia Xu said four words lightly.

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up and said: "You mean to let me pretend to be sick, so that Liu Bei feels that the time for the Northern Expedition has come, and at the same time send someone to contact Liu Bei, pretending to surrender as an internal response, and using a plan to let Liu Bei send troops to the Northern Expedition before the rest and recuperation is over?" ”

Immediately, Cao Cao shook his head and said: "But last time I was defeated in Guanzhong, and I lost 50,000 soldiers and horses, and now Yongliang only has 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if Liu Bei plans to invade in advance, it will be difficult for me to defeat it." ”

"Borrow soldiers!" Jia Xu said two words lightly.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Bu Dugen lost a lot last time, and I am afraid that he will not come again this time!" ”

Jia Xu said again: "Western Regions! ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao's eyes gradually brightened.

Jia Xu groaned and said: "The center of gravity of King Wei should not be in Guanzhong, but in Jingzhou!" Guan Yu is in Jingzhou, which is a great threat, and only by cutting off Jingzhou can Liu Bei's whale swallow the world be completely cut off.

Otherwise, even if he is defeated in Yongliang, it will not hurt, with corn, sweet potatoes, and the population of Yizhou, his strength will be greatly increased, even if he destroys 100,000 soldiers and horses, within ten years, he can still raise tens of thousands of male soldiers. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao hesitated: "If the focus is on Jingzhou, then who should be on Yongliang's side......

Jia Xu was silent.

He said the strategy, but people, he didn't dare to recommend it casually.

Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu, his eyelids jumped wildly, but Cao Cao didn't embarrass him, rubbed his eyelids, waved his hand and said, "You go down, I'll think about it!" ”

"Wechen retires!" Jia Xu arched his hand and withdrew from the hall.

Cao Cao got up and looked at the map hanging behind him.

"Pretending to be sick, internal response, Western Regions Alliance, in this case, the place to lure the enemy should be placed here!" Cao Cao pointed to a place located in Guanzhong on the map, and muttered: "Over there in Longxi, the mountains and rivers are steep, Liu Bei has now taken the Wudu and has a way out, and there is now Guo Huai stationed there, if you lure the enemy, Liu Bei will probably not be fooled."

In this way, only by introducing Liu Bei into the hinterland of Guanzhong, cutting off his way back, and gathering a large army can he be annihilated. It's just that Wen He asked me to focus on Jingzhou, so who can lead the Yongliang army? ”

"If there is no interruption, you will be disturbed!" Cao Cao looked at the map, and his eyes gradually became firm: "Now that Liu Bei is getting stronger and stronger, if I don't make up my mind, sooner or later I will step in the footsteps of Yuan Shao!" ”

Cao Cao made up his mind and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Come on, send me Sima Yi over!" ”

After a while, Sima Yi came to the palace.

Sima Yi arched his hand and said, "I don't know why the King of Wei summoned me?" ”

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and said, "Plant the corn!" ”

Sima Yi was surprised: "King Wei, most of the corn has been steamed, if it is planted, I am afraid that the grains will not be harvested, why ......?"

Cao Cao sneered: "I just want to let him get nothing, you just have to do it!" ”
