After listening to Hua Xin's words, Cao Rui hesitated: "If you withdraw from Chang'an, then there will be no hope of regaining Guanzhong." ”

Zhong Xuan arched his hand and said: "Otherwise, our army still occupies Tongguan, as long as Tongguan is in hand, there is hope of recapturing Guanzhong." Moreover, Tongguan is a husband and a man, as long as Tongguan is held, the Shu army will not be able to attack the Central Plains.

Your Majesty only needs to recuperate for a few years, and with the wealth of my Central Plains, after a few years, you can send millions of troops to recapture Tongguan. ”

Cao Rui groaned: "Now that the Shu army is surrounding Chang'an, Pubanjin, Tongguan, Wuguan and other places, all of them are watched by the Shu army, Cao Zhen wants to withdraw, and it is not so easy." ”

"Your Majesty!" Shang Shu ordered Chen Qun to bow his hand and said: "The minister Bao raised one person, you can share your Majesty's worries, Emperor Wu and Emperor Xian also asked him many times, Your Majesty might as well summon this person to come and discuss countermeasures." ”

"Who?" Cao Rui asked.

"Sima Yi!" Chen Qun arched his hand and said.

Cao Rui said secretly in his heart when he heard this: "The first emperor once said that Sima Yi is a person who looks at wolves and must be guarded against, but my Great Wei is in danger, but I can use it." Now that Chang'an is in danger, it is better to summon him over and ask. ”

Thinking of this, Cao Rui ordered: "Let people hurry up and go to Nanyang and spread Sima Yi to Beijing!" ”

The time entered December 226 A.D., the cold winter wax moon, and the sky fell heavy snow.

Sima Yi traveled north from Nanyang, and in the evening, he returned to his home in Luoyang.

"Come, husband, eat more, this is your favorite cauliflower."

Woad, that is, greens, cabbage, and woad cauliflower, which is also cabbage moss.

Sima Yi and his wife Zhang Chunhua, sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao sat on the table together, and the family ate dinner happily.

Zhang Chunhua is Sima Yi's wife and has two sons, the eldest son Sima Shi, who is 18 years old this year, and the second son, Sima Zhao, who is 14 years old this year.

Sima Yi also has a concubine, which is the Bai family, this daughter was given to Sima Yi by Cao Pi, in fact, she is responsible for monitoring Sima Yi, and she is also a concubine, so she is not qualified to eat with Sima Yi.

"It's still delicious at home!" Sima Yi looked at the dishes in the bowl and couldn't help sighing, but he didn't move.

"It's hard to go home, what are you sighing for? It's delicious, but you can eat it. Zhang Chunhua glanced at Sima Yi.

"Your Majesty urgently summoned me back, it must be for the sake of Chang'an." Sima Yi put the chopsticks on the case, sighed and said: "Cao Zidan fought such a sloppy battle, lost Longshan, and now he called me back to deal with the aftermath, a lot of troubles, how can I still eat?" ”

Seeing this, Sima Shi also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked Sima Yi: "Dad, I heard that the Shu army has built a city wall outside Chang'an, and plans to surround Chang'an?" ”

Sima Yi sighed and said: "What's more, now that the Shu army has blocked Tongguan again, Pubanjin, my Central Plains soldiers and horses can't enter the pass at all." ”

Zhang Chunhua said impatiently: "Okay, okay, the world is the biggest eat, eat first, if you don't eat, I'll take it away." ”

Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I can't tell you a woman, hurry up and bring my official uniform." ”

"Official uniform? On this big night, are you still going to the palace? ”

Sima Yi said impatiently: "It's not that I want to go to the palace!" Just go get it, the older you get, the more verbose it gets. ”

When Zhang Chunhua heard this, he immediately became angry: "Okay, Sima Yi, you weren't like this when I was young, but now that I'm old, you dislike me, don't you ......?"

Zhang Chunhua was scolding, and a waiter suddenly walked in outside the door: "Who are you?" ”

Seeing this, Sima Yi hurriedly asked, "The Great Internal Official?" Did Your Majesty summon me? ”

The chamberlain said in a male duck voice: "Your Majesty heard that you are back, so let me pass you on, why don't you change your official uniform?" ”

"Still not going to prepare?" Sima Yi glared at Zhang Chunhua and said to the chamberlain: "Wait a while, I'll change into my official uniform and come." ”

Sima Yi changed into his official uniform and came to the palace with his chamberlain.

At the door of the main hall, shaking off the snowflakes on his body, Sima Yi entered Cao Rui's study and saluted Cao Rui: "Weichen Sima Yi sees Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Rui was reviewing the folds, and when he saw Sima Yi arrive, he put down the red pen in his hand and said, "Zhongda, you are here, calm down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Rui asked Sima Yi: "You must also know the situation in Guanzhong, I summoned you here to ask your opinion." Do you think Guanzhong can be recaptured now? ”

Sima Yi sighed and said: "If the Wuguan is not lost, Weichen can lead the Nanyang soldiers and horses to the Wuguan, and Chang'an will be the horns of each other, attracting a part of the Shu army." The Shu army has to guard against our army, but also against Tongguan, Puban, and Chang'an City, and the troops of Chang'an City are very small, so the general can find an opportunity to deal with the Shu army, so as to recapture Guanzhong.

It's just that now the Wuguan has been lost, and the Wuguan is a master, and the soldiers and horses in Nanyang are no longer useful. If you want to recapture Guanzhong, the possibility is already very small.

Moreover, the Shu army has now built a city wall around Chang'an, and once the city is built, the general's 90,000 soldiers and horses will not escape the danger of destruction. Now the top priority is not to find a way to recapture Guanzhong, but to find a way to rescue the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City.

After the soldiers and horses are rescued, the troops can be stationed in Tongguan, Tongguan is the world's danger, and the Shu army can not attack, our army can wait for changes and wait for the opportunity to recapture Guanzhong. ”

"Zhong Xuan said the same thing!" Cao Rui nodded, and then said: "Now that the Shu army is under Tongguan, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Puban, and there are more than 100,000 troops outside Chang'an City, Cao Zhen wants to lead his troops out, and it is not so simple." ”

"It's easy!" Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Chang'an has an army of 90,000, and now the city wall of the Shu army has not yet been built, and it is not difficult for my army to get out of the city."

It's just that when my army goes out of the city, it is bound to fight with the Shu army, and the cavalry of the Shu army is powerful, and if it fights, it will be defeated. Just find a way to transfer the cavalry of the Shu army. ”

Cao Rui asked, "How to transfer away?" ”

Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "The northern part of Guanzhong is Hudi, which is the territory of Budugen, Budugen has always been pro-Wei, guarding the border pass for my Great Wei Town, but he can send someone to write to Budugen, and let him lead the cavalry into the Guanzhong for trouble, so Liu Chan will send cavalry to deal with it."

At that time, the Shu army lost cavalry, and our army was not afraid of the Shu army when it went out of the city, and it was not impossible to defeat the Shu army. ”

"Okay, after listening to Aiqing's words, I am much more relieved." Cao Rui nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Zhongda, the general Cao Zhen has been defeated repeatedly, and he is not the opponent of the Shu army. I want you to command the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, what do you think? ”

"What about Nanyang ......?" Sima Yi hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, now that the Shu army has won Wuguan, the next step will definitely be to go south from Wuguan to Nanyang, after capturing Nanyang, from Nanyang and Guanzhong to attack the Central Plains, if Weichen leaves Nanyang, then who should Nanyang send to guard?" ”
