Chapter 906: Crooked Strike

"Now there is Pang Tong Duwei in the west, Zhuge Liang Cai Wei in the south, only the north is left, Zhelan destroyed the Xianbei Wuhuan nest this time, and the two sides suffered heavy losses, and they must have collapsed.

When the cavalry of our Sichuan army arrives at the grassland and joins forces with Zhelan, Xianbei Wuhuan will come to an end, and the northern grassland will definitely be managed.

If Cao Cao is placed due north, then I will hang a sword for myself.

But I think there is a good place, that is, the northeast of Youzhou, east of Liaodong, where is the five departments of Donghu, including Wuhuan Xianbei, including Wuhuan Xianbei, and after the Wuhuan Xianbei is leveled, someone will definitely need to govern, so I will let Cao Cao go.

When the time comes, send a loyal general to manage the northeastern border army, and Cao Cao will only deal with internal affairs, open up wasteland and cultivate fields, and educate the border people, and the threat will be minimized.

Even if Cao Cao rebelled, first, we have a large number of cavalry in the northern grasslands, and there are troops in Youzhou, so we can quickly quell the rebellion, but even if we can't put down the rebellion, what if we can't put down the rebellion?

In the barren land in the northeast of Youzhou, Cao Cao is afraid to rebel for two or three generations to open a borderless land, isn't that indirectly integrated into the Han Dynasty? Even if there is a rebellion, I think that in the end, the Northeast will be included in the Han soil, and the Han will not suffer. ”

"It's a good place for Cao Cao, I believe that with Cao Cao's temperament, he won't feel that the northeast of Youzhou is deserted, but will be at ease, but," Huang Yueying smiled: "The lord seems to be much less jealous of Cao Cao than the small island country of the Japanese slave country." ”

Huang Yueying didn't understand that Cao Cao was such a recognized hero, Liu Zhang could be released to develop, even if Cao Cao rebelled in later generations, he was not afraid, but he felt that he was just indirectly integrated into the Han Dynasty.

However, the Xu family wanted to spread Han culture to the Japanese slaves. Liu Zhang was resolutely opposed.

Liu Zhang did not explain. continued: "I won't kill Cao Cao. Those generals don't have any worries, I know Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Guo Jia, these people, they will not betray easily, they are all great talents, and they will be the pillars of the country in the future. ”

Liu Zhang didn't say anything, these people have no foundation after joining the Sichuan Army, and a large amount of fresh blood can just balance the current power of the Sichuan Army, Liu Zhang faintly feels that the current Sichuan Army. Martial arts are moving to an extreme against the aristocracy.

……

Yecheng once again consulted on the issue of alien races, and a large number of clan officials and generals suggested that the treasury be mobilized to nourish the Xianbei Wuhuan army to resist the pressure from the north.

However, today's Cao Cao completely lacks the ambiguous attitude of yesterday, and resolutely opposes, even if in the final lobby, only Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Tian Yu, and a few people are standing in the lobby, and the rest of the officials all second, Cao Cao still does not move, and sternly refuses the proposal to nourish the alien race.

"How can it be?"

Scattered backwards. The officials of the clan gathered in Chen Qun's mansion, and Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang roared loudly. The rest of the officials and clan backbones were also angry.

Sima Lang said: "King Wei is too much to do this, right? Don't you know what it means to be a human being? Now it's the autumn of peril, and you still care about the righteousness of the nation, bullshit, if the Sichuan barbarians come in, it will be a hundred times more ruthless than the alien race.

He Cao Cao is alone in the red mouth and white teeth of the nation, regardless of the civil and military persuasion of the whole house, could it be that the Sichuan barbarians came in from the north, and he Cao Cao can still rely on red lips and white teeth to retreat from the enemy? ”

After Sima Lang finished speaking, his chest was still rising and falling, obviously still angry, dissatisfied with Cao Cao's boycott of the ministers' advice.

After a while, Wu Zhen suppressed everyone's discussion and said to everyone: "Now is not the time to complain, we should think about what to do first?"

After our troops were defeated by Zhang Liaona, guarding the two lines of the Yellow River and Taihang Mountain, we were already overstretched, and it was absolutely impossible to defend the north. ”

"Yes, Lord Wu is right." Chen Qun said: "The alien army is now only sustained by the dry food they bring with them, and occasionally grabs guns at the border, how long can it last like this?" When they are cut off from food and grass, Zhelan Ying can defeat them in one fell swoop, and it will be too late to help them. ”

"And that's not the worst." A civilian official said: "The Xianbei people and Wuhuan people will not wait for death, if they see that the north can't go back, they will definitely rob the south, the grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops, it is not something that can be maintained by robbing a little border people, and it will definitely invade Hebei when the time comes."

Brainless aliens don't mind being the tip of a knife for the Sichuan barbarians, and at that time, the aliens will not only not be able to help us, but will also come to attack us, and we will definitely die. ”

Everyone was silent, they were all afraid of the current situation, and their lives were hanging by a thread, but this line was still being pulled by Cao Cao, and they would let go at any time.

At the beginning, they didn't care about the Jiangzhou massacre, and they also laughed at Liu Zhang's ignorance of politics, and later countless massacres did not arouse vigilance, until the Xuchang massacre.

And now, everyone's minds are full of the hundreds of thousands of children of the clan killed by the Sichuan army, and they shudder, and their hearts are full of infinite fear.

"Zhongda, what do you think?" Sima Hui and several old patriarchs sat aside, never said a word, closed their eyes slightly and listened to everyone quietly, at this time they were really impatient, it was useless to quarrel with the old man, there was still someone to make an idea.

"Mr. Shuijing, I'm really sorry, it's useless for the ministers to admonish, and I can't do anything, obviously, King Wei is iron-hearted and doesn't want to help other races, unless any of you can persuade the lord to change the national concept in his heart."

Sima Yi said and looked at everyone one by one.

"Can you? …… Can you? …… Can you? ”

The people who were questioned lowered their heads one after another, and Sima Yi stopped talking, and once again returned to the appearance of a lifeless corpse.

"Even Zhongda can't do it, alas......"

Everyone shook their heads, and at this moment, suddenly an official said: "Our ministers can not accept the advice of the King of Wei, if all the officials and generals who can come to Yecheng are admonished, will the King of Wei not accept it?" I'm afraid that the King of Wei will have to weigh it at that time. ”

After the official finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, and Wu Zhen said carefully: "This is ...... It's a coercion. ”

Many people are a little uncertain, because everyone knows that when it comes to the step of coercion, it is the last step, if it is not successful. Then it would be completely broken.

"I think it's doable." Chen Qun said suddenly. As if he had made up his mind: "This is the only way to do it at the moment." We must show the strength of everyone to let Cao Cao know how ridiculous his so-called national integrity is.

Zhang Liao's defeat at the beginning, what does it matter to us? But Cao Cao and Guo Jia took the opportunity to reorganize our soldiers, what can we do at that time?

It's not for the sake of the overall situation of the confrontation against the Sichuan army, we didn't do anything, and let them be incorporated in vain, why are we? Isn't it just to keep Chuanban out?

Now it's all here, Cao Cao came to talk about national righteousness. What is this not betrayal? Since Cao Cao lost the favor of the lord first, there is no need for us to be virtuous.

Tomorrow, all officials, generals in the army, old patriarchs of local big clans, and influential figures will all gather in the Wei Wangfu to petition.

If Cao Cao is still unwilling to accept advice with an open mind, he will be a faint monarch, and I am afraid he will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of resisting the Sichuan barbarians. ”

Everyone was obviously not ready to be admonished, but after thinking about it, there was no other way now. Compared with being invaded into Hebei by the Sichuan army, they will of course choose to take a risk.

We discussed it for a while. Finally, there was no objection, Chen Qun said: "Okay, that's it, tomorrow all the admonitions, Cao Cao is the overlord, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be angry if we do this."

Therefore, closely monitor the deployment of Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and other generals, if any changes are found, it means that Cao Cao wants to attack us, and we are afraid that we can only do Huo Guang's things. ”

All the civil officials sighed and dispersed, and they were all nervous, but the matter had come to this, in order to survive, even if they were nervous, these civil officials had no intention of retreating from tomorrow's persecution.

At dusk, Sima Yi was reading at home, and Sima Fu said in the back: "Second brother, I'm afraid tomorrow's persecution won't go well, Cao Cao is not the kind of person who will be crushed by the anger of the public, I'm afraid something big will happen, why don't you seem to be in a hurry at all?" ”

"Is it useful to be in a hurry?" Sima Yi said, pointed to the gloomy distant mountain outside the door and asked Sima Fu, "Third brother, what do you see?" ”

Sima Fu looked at it suspiciously, Yecheng had just passed a rain, and the distance was still shrouded in haze, so he could only reply: "Fog." ”

"yes, fog." Sima Yi sighed: "The fog is so big, I can't see clearly, if I am still in a hurry at this time, it will be even more difficult to see." ”

"What do you mean, third brother?" Sima Fu wondered.

"It's foggy in the hall now." Sima Yi put the book on his lap: "Cao Cao, a generation of overlords, but recently it has been abnormal, yesterday I heard that my daughter betrayed, and the Sichuan army won so indifferently, it was abnormal enough, but today I suddenly resolutely opposed, and the attitude is so resolute that it is like two people yesterday."

That's it, yesterday can be regarded as pretending to be calm, and today can be regarded as thinking about things all night and thinking things clearly.

But I think Cao Cao's attitude yesterday, even if he pretended to be calm, it should only be superficially calm, he should at least summon some people at night to discuss a countermeasure.

But yesterday, Cao Cao only summoned one Guo Jia, and he has been staying in the room with Lingju since then, which is not right.

Today's attitude is so resolute, it can be said that Cao Cao is because of the national integrity, but I know Cao Cao too well, even if he cares about the national integrity, after he loudly rejected the proposal of the ministers, he should discuss a good way to deal with it.

But what did Cao Cao do today? blindly opposed, but he was not very enthusiastic to ask the ministers for other opinions, and did not propose a solution.

See what's wrong?

Cao Cao put on such an attitude, as if he was only here to oppose the proposal of the world clan to nourish the alien race, but he did not say a word about the precautions against the Sichuan army.

To say that it is imminent, the Sichuan army should be imminent, and with Cao Cao's pragmatic style, it is definitely impossible to do so. ”

"yes." After being reminded by Sima Yi, Sima Fu also came to his senses: "It seems that the King of Wei only opposed the proposal of the ministers, but he didn't think about dealing with the Sichuan army, which is indeed very strange." ”

"Third brother, if we want to live in this troubled era, don't think the same as others, those clan officials or something, seeing Cao Cao opposing their group advice, it is like being stepped on the tail and falling into anger.

Angry people, what else can they think about? So, at all times, let yourself be a little calm. ”

"Do you think I'm not in a hurry? I'm in a hurry. Sima Yi sighed, raised his head and looked at the ceiling and said: "I vaguely feel that this time the incident will be related to our life and death, and if we are not careful, there will be no such number one person as me Sima Yi in this world." ”

"So serious?" Sima Fu exclaimed.

"Cao Cao is like this, there are only two possibilities, the first is that Cao Cao didn't plan to deal with the Sichuan army at all, he wanted to surrender."

"How is this possible?" As soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, Sima Fu shouted loudly.

"I also know it's impossible, I just say it's a speculation, if it weren't for Cao Cao, if it were other Lulu princes, I would definitely think that he was going to surrender, but Cao Cao wouldn't."

Sima Yi continued: "The rest is the second possibility, Cao Cao has already thought of a way to deal with the Sichuan army, although I don't know what the method is, but if Cao Cao comes up with it, then we will definitely have an accident tomorrow." ”

"Since Cao Cao has figured out how to deal with the Sichuan army, why do we still have an accident? Could it be that Cao Cao wanted to cut off his arm? Sima Fu wondered.

"Hmph." Sima Yi said disdainfully: "Arms? It used to be an arm, but now it is a constraint, after Cao Cao reorganized the army of the clan with his cronies, he did not fully gain the hearts of the army, and the children of the clan still have a great influence in the army.

If Cao Cao is forced to admonish tomorrow, and Cao Cao will put many officials, generals, and influential clan elders in prison, won't the court and the central government rejoin Cao Cao? The upper echelons of those descendants of the clan are gone, and the lower echelons of the army will return to their hearts faster, and Cao Cao can complete the last incorporation of the army, which is Cao Cao's consistent overlord style. ”

"Detaining so many people, isn't Cao Cao afraid of causing the wrath of the clan?"

"So you're forcing everyone to admonish, aren't you just giving Cao Cao an excuse?"

"Even if there is a reason to go to prison, there will be rifts."

"When we first incorporated the army of the children of the Shi clan, the rift was big enough, right? What have we done? Sima Yi smiled: "As long as the Sichuan army is here, those people in the clan can only be led by Cao Cao forever." ”

Sima Fu showed a shocked face, and by now, he really thought that something would happen.

Sima Yi never dreamed that he was wrong, but he hit it right.

At this moment, a family member walked in and saluted the Sima brothers: "Two gentlemen, Mr. Shui Jing sent someone to invite him, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

Sima Fu waved his hand to let the family out, and said to Sima Yi: "Third brother, Mr. Shui Jing asked the third brother to go at this time, what's the matter?" ”

"What can a megalomaniac do if he calls me over? That's not all. With a disdainful countenance, Sima Yi stood up lazily, patted his ass and prepared to go out.

After taking two steps, Sima Fu said: "Third brother, the situation is critical, you have to have an idea." (To be continued......)
