When all the ministers saw Sima Yi leaving, their faces changed, others don't know, these clan officials know that Sima Yi was pushed out by them, and he finally made a big official, why did he leave, isn't this a waste of a great opportunity?

Cao Cao didn't mean to leave Sima Yi, he was wise and would not be carried away by others, he was sure that Sima Yi's strategy was not feasible, but he was also sure that Sima Yi was talented.

Why all these ridiculous schemes?

Cao Cao is not worried that Sima Yi will not be loyal to himself and threaten him, the Sima family is a big family in the world, and Sima Yi can only have a ghost if he can take refuge in Liu Zhang.

But Cao Cao didn't know that these thoughts of his were all expected by Sima Yi. That's why Sima Yi saluted Liu Xie, and left if he didn't want Cao Cao to salute, Sima Yi wouldn't take the shelf when it wasn't necessary, but he would take it when he should take it.

Walked outside the main hall and glanced at the main hall, Xun Yu, absolutely have to be removed, although Guo Jia didn't speak, and even his expression didn't fluctuate, but Sima Yi knew that Guo Jia's strategy was definitely above Xun Yu, if Guo Jia was not from a poor family, it would be much trickier than Xun Yu.

But his background is not good, and he has just been defeated in Guanzhong, Sima Yi is confident that he will get rid of Guo Jia, as long as Xun Yu and Guo Jia fall, then his Sima Yi's period will come.

Of course, this must be based on resisting the attack of the Sichuan army first, otherwise everything will not be discussed.

"Zhongda, I heard that Cao Cao named you one of the Nine Qings today, Zhonglang will join the military, such a good position, why do you refuse?"

Sima Yi saw Sima Hui when he left the palace, and Sima Hui had already gotten the news, which showed how long these clans had tentacles.

"Mr. Water Mirror. We talked as we went out of town. ”

"Out of town?"

Sima Hui was surprised. Or get into the carriage out of the city with Sima Yi. On the carriage, Sima Hui was surprised: "Zhongda, do you think Xuchang will be lost?" ”

"It's likely, but it's not necessarily lost." Sima Yi said.

"Won't you have to lose it? Then if there is Zhongda to assist Cao Cao, and our family supports it, won't Xuchang be saved? ”

"What if I can't keep it?"

Sima Yi only asked one sentence, and Sima Hui was dumbfounded, yes, what if you can't keep it? If you put all the family forces into the defense of Xuchang now. It's too risky, once Xuchang is lost, there will be nothing.

"What if I can keep it?" Before Sima Hui could speak, Sima Yi only glanced at Sima Hui's expression and asked the next question.

"If we can keep it, won't we stop Liu Zhang? And Zhongda helped Cao Cao defend the city, wouldn't it be more important? ”

"Hahahaha." Sima Yi laughed, immediately recovered, and said to Sima Hui: "I'm sorry Mr. Shuijing, Sima Yi lost his temper." However, Sima Yi felt it. If it is saved, it will not be good for Cao Jun or us.

If Xuchang is kept, for Cao Jun, it will always be here, but there is no danger here at all, the Sichuan army can attack when it comes out of the pass, Cao Cao's current people's power can not consume Liu Zhang, if it is the full support of our clan, it can be delayed, but can it be drawn?

And for me Sima Yi, yes, I helped Cao Cao block Liu Zhang, will I be a bigger official, but will it be bigger than Xun Yu Guo Jia? I'm a first-time voter, if I really block the Sichuan army, it's not that I will receive the biggest reward, it must be Xun Yu.

The Xun family has an extremely strong position in the DPRK, and if nothing else, we will not have a bright future. ”

"Of course." Sima Yi looked at Sima Hui's expression: "If you can help the Cao army defeat the Sichuan army, other things to seize the throne are illusory, and I will talk about it later."

But Mr. Shuijing has thought about it, if we block the Sichuan army, we will have to take Yuzhou in Pingchuan, and the Sichuan army can attack us when it comes out of the pass, and we are at a serious geographical disadvantage.

But if we are defeated and retreat to the east of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, then it will be the Sichuan army that guards the flat river, which is very beneficial to us. ”

Sima Hui nodded, and then said to Sima Yi: "But as Zhong Da said, it is better for Xuchang not to defend and leave the geographical disadvantage to the Sichuan army, but what does this have to do with Zhong Da's resignation?" Such an opportunity is rare, and if the Sichuan army can't capture Xuchang, you won't be able to go out. ”

"Huh." Sima Yi smiled disappreciatively: "As I said just now, if you really hold it, Cao Jun will be a disadvantage, and it will inevitably decline slowly, and I am worried that I will not have a chance to become a leader, but it is just a little more difficult than now."

But did the gentleman think about it? Can Xuchang hold on, can it hold on, and the real impact on us? Presumably Mr. has also heard about my strategy for Cao Cao today, right? ”

"Speaking of which, I would like to ask Zhongda, why do you offer such a strategy? I don't think it's feasible either. If it weren't for Sima Hui's belief that Sima Yi would not betray the family, and his talent was also personally investigated, he would have thought that Sima Yi would either sell his reputation or betray the family.

"In fact, this kind of strategy, before Cao Cao marched into Guanzhong, I had already sacrificed it, and the situation before the Battle of Guanzhong was exactly the same as the current situation in Xuchang.

In the battle of Guanzhong, if Cao's army wins, even if my Sima Yi goes out of the mountain, he will not be taken seriously by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is even more jealous of the huddle of our clan, even if Cao Cao says that I am wrong, what does it matter?

But if the battle of Guanzhong fails, what will Cao Cao think when he remembers my strategy? Will you think carefully about whether my plan is right? ”

Sima Hui nodded slowly, if Cao Jun wins, Cao Jun is the first army in the world, Cao Cao can be named Sima Yi a master Bo, don't think about surpassing Xun Yu in your life.

However, after the defeat, according to the conventional logic, the defeated will reflect, and as soon as they reflect, those who have been advised and stopped before will be taken seriously, which is a natural logic.

Sima Yi just chose a decision that was most beneficial to him, Cao Jun won, just a little worse on top of worse, and once Cao Cao was defeated, then Sima Yi immediately shone like a bright moon in the night sky.

This is probably also the reason why Cao Cao named Sima Yi one of the nine qings such a big official position.

Sima Yi smiled: "Of course, with Cao Cao's wisdom, he may not be carried away by a defeat." After all, my plan is illogical. hateful, Guo Jia and others are impeccable in their strategy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to offer a strategy that doesn't make sense.

Although he made me a senior official today, he was just not sure that my plan was wrong, and if there was a change, he would just consult with me.

So this time in Xuchang, we still need to come once, to be honest, with the current situation in Xuchang, I Sima Yi can't get out of the mountain. There will be no big changes, so we can only use Xuchang this time to bring us the greatest benefits.

Xuchang offensive and defensive, regardless of victory or defeat, Cao's army is still at a disadvantage, but once defeated, the plan I offer today will be fulfilled again, so what will Cao Cao think of me Sima Yi? No matter how wise he Cao Cao is, will he dare to easily veto me Sima Yi in the future?

Even if he Cao Cao denied me Sima Yi, Cao Cao's subordinate Wen Wu knew that these two failures were because he didn't listen to me Sima Yi. What will they think?

I'm sure that as long as Cao's army is defeated this time. My Sima Yi's name will inevitably be mentioned by everyone with regret, and when the time comes, don't say that one of the nine kings, it is the third duke, and my Sima Yi can also take it, just look at my disdain. ”

Sima Hui showed a look of surprise and joy, surprised that Sima Yi's plot didn't even know about himself, and was happy that Sima Yi didn't let himself down, so that he could definitely be comparable to Zhuge Liang Pang Tong, or even surpass these two people, and the people's hearts, pros and cons, situation, and trend were extremely accurate.

And always have a clear idea of what your purpose is, which is definitely the wisdom of a top strategist.

"If we add that we saved the defeat of the Cao army and mastered the human, financial and material resources of the northern clan in the Central Plains, my status should be comparable to Xun Yu and Guo Jia in a short period of time, right?"

After Sima Yi finished speaking, Sima Hui fully understood Sima Yi's thoughts, Sima Yi was gambling, Cao Jun won, Sima Yi is on the job, Sichuan Jun wins, and Sima Yi is at the peak.

And losing, not losing much, winning, winning all, it's really a good move.

But Sima Hui frowned: "Zhongda, our goal now is to resist Liu Zhang, if Liu Zhang is not removed, everything else must be postponed." ”

"I know that." Sima Yi said respectfully to Sima Hui: "But I also said that now I can't get out of the mountain, and I can't have a major impact on the battle situation, so it's better not to go out of the mountain first, and get ready to deal with the situation after the battle of Xuchang." ”

The two said, the carriage had left Xuchang, Sima Hui now knew why Sima Yi went out of the city, and the first time he went back to prepare to deal with the post-war matters, in addition, if Xuchang was lost, he would stay in Xuchang, and the consequences would be very serious.

…………

In the court, you said a word, and nothing was discussed, and after the court was dispersed, Cao Cao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and held a small meeting again.

And behind Cao Cao, there stood a heroic woman, these generals of the Cao army knew her, she was Cao Cao's daughter Cao Xian, that is, the leader of the northern Di people, Zhi Lanying.

Cao Xian had returned to Xuchang last night, and when he heard that Cao Xian had become the leader of the Di people, Cao Cao was really overjoyed, but there were a total of 30,000 Di people, and the Xianbei people who had been incorporated were only 40,000 or 50,000, so they could not threaten Liu Zhang at all.

What's more, the Diren army is now difficult to protect itself, not to mention the fact that it has just received the Hetao, and it is also a mortal enemy of the Xianbei tribe such as Kebineng, how can it withdraw and go south.

But Cao Cao was still very happy to see his daughter come back, after all, he was sorry for this daughter at the beginning, and now that his daughter has come back with a career, Cao Cao is of course guilty.

made his father and Cao Jun's generals impressed, and at the same time saw Cao Cao's guilt, Cao Xian felt that this was enough.

Cao Cao said to everyone: "Today, the court has not discussed the results, but if we don't have any strategy, just defense, it will definitely be unfavorable, what should you do in the end?" Is it peace, is it surrender, is it war, is it withdrawing, is it war, how to fight, how to withdraw, how to withdraw? ”

Chen Qun stepped forward and said: "My lord, my subordinates feel that they should immediately gather the family members of the Xuchang family to help defend the city, and requisition manpower and material resources to prepare a large number of equipment to defend the city. ”

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded, now the morale of the Cao army, it is estimated that the combat power is not much different from those families, it is indeed the time to use the clan, there are many clans in Xuchang, and the clan is not a small number.

"What else?"

Cheng Yu stepped forward and said: "We should collect money and food from the world, and use the money and food to boost morale, such as killing one person, rewarding one tael of silver, killing the general and rewarding one hundred taels of silver, and the families of sergeants who have enough military merits can enjoy food subsidies and so on." ”

Cao Cao nodded, this is indeed a good way, now the morale of the Cao army is about to reach zero, but rewarding gold and silver will definitely improve morale, who doesn't like money? What's more, it's this troubled time.

Cao Cao now finally knows the benefits of the clan, if it weren't for the Sichuan army to attack, change someone, such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu or something, these clans would come up with money and food, and it is estimated that the family would be reluctant to send one.

"And there's more."

Guo Jia coughed and came out, "Lord, I've thought about it for a long time, and I still don't think Sima Yi's advice makes sense, but why don't we use it?" ”

"Will it be used? What do you mean? Cao Cao was puzzled.

"Guo Jia doesn't think that Liu Zhang, Huang Yueying and other ruthless people can make them stop the army by cutting the land and sealing the king and marrying them, but these are all easy to do, there is no loss, what if Sima Yi's method is really effective?"

Guo Jia felt sorry for Cao Cao because of the defeat in Guanzhong, Cao Cao didn't blame him, but just put the blame on himself, which made Guo Jia very grateful and became more careful.

Thinking about it, Sima Yi's strategy didn't make sense, but Guo Jia didn't dare to be careless when he was defeated, and thought carefully for a long time, since there was no loss to Cao Jun, why not do it.

Cao Cao saw Guo Jia's expression, and probably knew what Guo Jia was thinking, although he rationally analyzed the battle of Guanzhong, but sometimes when a person gives advice, there is no trace, and he hits.

Rao is a male lord like Cao Cao, a ghost like Guo Jia, and he doesn't dare to veto Sima Yi easily, after all, Sima Yi is not an idiot, and he is also a world-famous Tomb Tiger.

What if Sima Yi expected that Liu Zhang was knocked unconscious by a carrot and really gave up Xuchang to Jingzhou?

"Okay, then let's be crowned king by the way, they have all been crowned King Sun Quan Wu, and I don't care about one more king, but who will go for this marriage?"

Cao Cao's three adult daughters, one Cao Xian, and two are already married to Liu Xie, Cao Cao doesn't think Liu Zhang will like broken shoes, so it is better not to have this bad idea.

When everyone was silent, suddenly a soldier came in surprise to report: "Lord, lord, the Lingju girl is back." ”

Everyone's expressions moved, they didn't expect this woman to be dead, as long as she was loyal to Cao Cao, they all hoped that this woman would die as soon as possible, including Guo Jia.

Cao Cao did everything in the style of a generation of heroes, but he compromised a lot on the issue of Lingju, although it did not really affect the military, but the lord was too attentive to a woman, not a courtier wanted to see.

But the bones of those who advised at the beginning were cold, and now these people have to go as long as Cao Cao does not delay the military too much.

Cao Cao's ass left his seat, but he still sat down. (To be continued......)
