Hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "Sima Junshi, I don't know what your plan is?" Hurry up and hear about it. ”

Cao Cao still relies on Sima Yi very much, this guy is scheming, maybe he can really come up with a brilliant plan.

Sima Yi couldn't help but say: "Prime Minister, my subordinates think that the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan will definitely not be guaranteed, and the Prime Minister needs to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but be silent.

Sima Yi's words, how could Cao Cao not understand?

Sima Yi persuaded Cao Cao not to take chances, and now he had to make a decision as soon as the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan had been lost.

It's just that even Cao Cao thinks in his heart that nine out of nine out of eight hundred miles of Qinchuan have been lost, but he still has that luck in his heart.

Before the news was delivered, how could Cao Cao willingly accept this fact?

Cao Cao couldn't help but say, "Master Sima, you continue to talk about your strategy. ”

Sima Yi continued: "Prime Minister, my subordinates think that we should take the initiative to retreat and retreat to a dangerous city to defend, so as not to give Dahua a chance to take advantage of!" ”

After listening to Sima Yi's strategy, Cao Cao's face became ugly.

Is this your plan?

Your plan is to make Ben Cheng quite a shrunken turtle?

Directly defend your own turf?

This matter is easy to say, but if he really did it, wouldn't it mean that he Cao Cao took the initiative to show weakness?

His prestige is bound to plummet, how can he rule over his courtiers?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but say with a gloomy face: "Master Sima, is this your strategy?" In your opinion, if I don't retreat, I won't be able to resist Dahua's attack? ”

Sima Yi couldn't help asking: "Prime Minister, my subordinates want to ask, if Dahua attacks our Han Liaodong, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places from the sea, how can we defend it?" ”

Cao Cao said with a dark face: "If they attack from the sea, even if they can take some areas, Prime Minister Ben will naturally lead the army to counterattack!" Could it be that their transportation on the sea could be faster than that of the Prime Minister on land? Is it for this reason that you persuaded the prime minister to take the initiative to retreat? ”

Sima Yi did not answer Cao Cao's question, but continued to ask: "Prime Minister, but what if Dahua only attacks and does not encroach on our territory?" How will we defend it? ”

Hiss!

When he heard Sima Yi's question, Cao Cao and the trial couldn't help but gasp at the same time.

The so-called concern is chaotic, if it wasn't for Sima Yi's reminder, Cao Cao and the trial had never thought of this problem.

If Dahua is constantly harassed from the sea, in Liaodong, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

They were bound to be exhausted, and they were bound to gather a large number of troops.

And to support such a large army, it is necessary to spend a lot of money and food.

Such an expense alone is enough to drag them down.

Not to mention, the places that Dahua can attack are not only these coastal states.

For example, Yuzhou, Jizhou and other places are within their attack range.

If Dahua really adopts this kind of harassment tactics, then their big men will inevitably fall into the process of being exhausted to deal with them.

And with Cao Cao's knowledge of Lü Bu and Zhuge Liang and others, it is almost certain that they will inevitably take such measures.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a cool breath rise up his spine.

It turned out that unconsciously, he had fallen into such a passive situation.

Yes, Sima Yi's idea just now was to give up some of his current territory and take the initiative to retreat.

It's a good idea to retreat back to a limited place to hold.

In fact, the idea proposed by Sima Yi has often been used in history.

For example, in later generations, the coastal areas were often invaded by Japanese invaders, and sometimes they simply migrated people inland.

During the Qing Dynasty, Taiwan was often upset by Western fleets, and the ministers proposed that all Taiwanese populations be relocated inland, but it was not approved.

As long as the people are relocated according to Sima Yi's suggestion, the current predicament can indeed be temporarily alleviated.

It's just that for a while, it was difficult for Cao Cao to make a decision.

Because, once the formation makes this decision, then the territory of the Great Han will shrink by at least one-fifth, or even more.

Now the territory of the Han Dynasty is constantly being eroded by Dahua, which is not big in the first place.

If you hold back like that, it's even smaller.

This is something that Cao Cao has a hard time tolerating.

Of course, there's one more important thing.

That is, if he really takes this measure, it will blow his prestige too much, and it may cause turmoil in the court.

Therefore, Cao Cao was slow to make a decision on this decision.

Sima Yi seemed to see Cao Cao's contradictory mood.

In other words, from the time Sima Yi said this strategy, he had long thought that Cao Cao would have this kind of reaction.

Therefore, Sima Yi couldn't help but say: "Prime Minister, there is a saying, Weichen doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but say: "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it, Sima Junshi, can't you still trust this prime minister?" ”

Sima Yi couldn't help but say: "The subordinates are considering, and the prime minister is worried, it is nothing more than that everyone is not convinced, and the court is unstable." ”

Hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Sima Xiao'er is not simple, this prime minister has a lot of thoughts, and he actually guessed it all.

It's too dangerous for this kind of person to stay around.

Especially this person's appearance, hawkish and wolf-looking, destined to rebel in the future!

Well, when you get through this crisis, you need to spare him.

In fact, Sima Yi also realized that what he said today was really too much.

Originally, in front of Cao Cao, he should have been clumsy.

But now, he and Cao Cao are grasshoppers tied to a rope.

If you want to hide it again, maybe everyone will have to finish the game.

As for defecting to Dahua, Sima Yi did not think about it.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Dahan can't fight Dahua.

It stands to reason that defecting to Dahua is the best way out.

Helplessly, Sima Yi was born in a family, and Dahua's attitude towards the family was to kill it quickly.

Therefore, if the matter is not a last resort, Sima Yi will not consider defecting to Dahua.

And now, his own performance seems to have aroused Cao Cao's suspicions.

But now I can't take care of much, let's help Cao Cao get through the current crisis first, and take one step at a time!

Sima Yi couldn't help but say: "Prime Minister, from the perspective of my subordinates, this matter is actually not difficult to solve. The prime minister is now famous all over the world, and he is famous in the world. The prime minister's merits can be further improved! In this way, no one dares to question the prime minister anymore! ”

One step further?

Hearing this, Cao Cao's expression couldn't help but change.

He is now the prime minister above ten thousand people under one person, if he goes further?
