"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and was about to reject Fa Zheng, when he heard Fa Zheng say: "Kong Ming's words are wrong, the way of the art of war, pay attention to winning by surprise."

Cao Wei has Longshan in Yongliang, Qinchuan is in danger, if the troops go out of Qishan, then in Qishan Fort, there are 10,000 troops, and they are in danger of being close to the mountains, how can they enter the boundary of Longxi? Your plan is not going to work at all.

Now Cao Cao is seriously ill, and lost the hearts of the people of Fufeng County, if the lord personally leads the army out of the valley, Fufeng County will definitely look at the wind and fall, as for the Cao army east and west, the lord only needs to send two soldiers and horses, one soldiers and horses to conquer Chencang, and one soldier and horse to occupy the street Pavilion Valley Road, so Cao Wei's soldiers and horses in Liangzhou can not pass at all.

And Cao Cao is seriously ill, Cao Zhen, who guards Chang'an, is just a child of the plaster, how is it the opponent of the lord, the lord can concentrate superior forces to defeat Cao Zhen, and in the back to pacify Liangzhou, so Yongliang is not the lord's gain? ”

"This ......" Liu Bei was suddenly embarrassed.

What Zhuge Liang said made sense, and what Fa Zheng said also made sense, and Liu Bei didn't know what to do for a while.

Should we send troops or not?

Liu Bei asked Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think?" ”

Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "Lord, although it is a good opportunity now, what Kong Ming said is more reasonable, sending troops to the Northern Expedition needs to be cautious and not rushed." When I was under Cao Cao, I learned that Cao Cao had repeatedly suffered from head diseases over the years, and Cao Cao was seriously ill this time, but he couldn't stay up for long.

And Cao Cao's sons, although Cao Pi is the crown prince, but Cao Zhang is ambitious, and he holds military power, once Cao Cao dies, his two sons will definitely fight.

Now although Cao Cao is sick, but not dead, the lord does not guard against the first strong soldiers, wait patiently, and wait for Cao Cao to die of illness, his two sons fight, and the subordinate Wenwu enters Beijing to mourn, when the people's hearts are turbulent, it is not too late to send troops to the Northern Expedition. ”

"Yuan Zhi's words are wrong!" As soon as Xu Shu's words fell, he heard Fa Zheng retort: "Now that Cao Cao is seriously ill, it is the best time, and when he dies of illness in the future, even if Yongliang makes people's hearts turbulent, he has already made all preparations, and the timing is not as good as now." ”

Seeing that the three of them couldn't stop arguing, Liu Bei couldn't help but press his forehead, this public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, it was really difficult to do.

Now he understands Yuan Shao's difficulties back then, and it's not good to have too many ministers!

Thinking about how good it was when he only had Zhuge Liang as a minister in Jingzhou, just listen to Zhuge Liang alone.

"Father!" Seeing Liu Bei's hesitation, Liu Chan stepped forward and said, "Father, listen to me!" ”

Zhuge Liang and the three looked at Liu Chan, Liu Bei saw Liu Chan speak, and hurriedly asked: "Adou, what are your good plans!" ”

Liu Chan arched his hand and said: "Father, Yuan Shao's power back then was far greater than that of Cao Cao, but he has always hesitated between sending troops and not sending troops, so that he missed the best opportunity to send troops, and his strategy of recuperation was also stranded. ”

Liu Bei looked at this and Liu Chan said, "So you agree with sending troops?" ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said: "No, I don't agree with sending troops to the Northern Expedition, first, the preparation is not enough now, whether it is fighting in winter or transporting grain and grass, it is not good for our army." Second, although Cao Cao is sick, his truth is still unknown! ”

"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned: "What, do you still suspect that Cao Cao is pretending to be sick to lure me into sending troops?" ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Yes, although Cao Cao is a traitor, in this troubled world, the only one who can match him is his father." I gave him 55,000 catties of corn for nothing, how could Cao Cao not doubt it.

You must know that this corn, once planted, will do all kinds of harm and no benefit, and if you don't plant it, you just need to find an excuse to say that the corn is rotten during transportation. He knew that this was a trap, why did he jump into it, why did he sit back and watch the tens of thousands of people in Fufeng have no food to collect?

And then because of the foreseeable annoyance, it causes a head attack, is it possible? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Cao Cao felt that there might be no problem with the corn seed and planted it, he must have expected the harm of not being able to plant it.

The rebellion of the people, this can be expected, but Cao Cao did not try to quell the disturbance, heh, then Cao Cao's intentions can be imagined. He didn't call out because he deliberately fell into the scheme, and then took the opportunity to pretend to be sick and lure his father to go on a northern expedition under the condition of insufficient preparation. ”

Liu Bei listened to Liu Chan's analysis, and couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "If it weren't for Adou seeing through Cao Thief's tricks, I would have almost fallen for him!" ”

Fa Zheng is stronger than military strategy, conspiracy, but his ability to analyze the situation is not strong, but now after listening to Liu Chan's words, he also nodded again and again, secretly saying that he was confused.

Liu Bei said to the three of them: "Cao Cao is most likely pretending to be sick to lure me to send troops, and this season is not suitable for sending troops, so when sending troops, we need to think long-term." But Cao Cao's side, you still need to pay attention at all times! ”

"No!" The three of them surrendered their orders.

Two months later, Yecheng.

October 218 A.D.

The palace of the king of Wei, in Cao Cao's room.

Cao Cao was lying on the couch, and below the couch stood Sima Yi and Jia Xu.

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi below and asked, "How about it, is Liu Bei ready to send troops?" ”

"There's not a single movement!" Sima Yi shook his head and said.

"I knew it wasn't that simple!" Cao Cao sighed and said, "Zhuge Liang is only afraid that he has seen through it!" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to be like this, the plan has just begun, the momentum is not enough, Liu Bei is not planned, it is normal, wait for the situation to become successful, even if Zhuge Liang sees through it, but Yizhou Wenwu supports Liu Beibei's crime, how Zhuge Liang is stopping, it will not work!" ”

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded and said: "Let Cao Zhen lead his troops to pacify the people of Fufeng County, the means are more cruel, if you can let Liu Bei Zhongji, it is also worth it!" When the situation of Fufeng is more erosive, we can let the forces we secretly support kill Fufeng Taishou, control the city, and surrender to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei will definitely send troops to the north. ”

"No!" Sima Yi couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Cao Cao say human life so easily.

Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu again and said, "How is the preparation over there in Nanyang?" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Wancheng has secretly transported 30,000 soldiers and horses, and secretly bought a few powerful forces, I let them secretly pass Guan Yu, Liu Bei once the north is attacked, General Cao Ren will divide his troops to attack Shangyong, these heroes will then raise troops to respond, in Nanyang into a "sweeping trend", Guan Yu is arrogant, seeing that Nanyang can be taken, he will definitely plan to attack Fancheng! ”

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "What about Jiangdong?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "Sun Quan has already agreed to the plan of the King of Wei, and after the agreement is completed, Sun Quan of the four counties of Jingnan and the king of Wei will have to be in the south of the county.

Jiangdong Governor Lu Su has begun to pretend to be sick and unable to treat the army, Deputy Governor Lu Meng has violated the "military law" and has been dismissed, and now Jiangxia is managed by the new Deputy Governor Lu Xunguan. Lu Xun is just a scholar, his nationality is unknown, during this time, Lu Xun has also been writing letters to paralyze Guan Yu, Guan Yu will definitely be negligent in Jiangdong at that time! ”

Cao Cao sneered: "Sun Quan's wolf ambition, although he promised to cooperate, he still needs to be careful, let Hefei Zhang Liao be careful and vigilant, so as not to let Sun Quan sneak attack Hefei at that time." The net has been cast, I don't know which one of the two big fish, Liu Bei and Guan Yu, can catch this time! ”
