Sima Yi doesn't need a reason to speak, but what he says must be true, just like before the war in Guanzhong, just like Xuchang's withdrawal of troops, people have no reason, or the reason is far-fetched and excessive, but they are right.

At this time, someone immediately came out, and Chen Qun said to Cao Cao: "Lord, Sima Yi's words must be true, it has been verified, this time we must not wait for it to be taken lightly, we must be ready to face the Sichuan army, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." ”

"yes, yes." Hua Xin said: "Sima Yi's talent is really unpredictable, more than a ghost, the lord must not be careless." ”

Guo Jia on the side obviously heard that Hua Xin was targeted, he was called a ghost talent, more ghost than a ghost talent, doesn't that mean that he is better than himself?

But this will not make Guo Jia mind, the most important thing is that he was the first strategist in the battle of Guanzhong, but he was defeated one after another, if he had listened to Sima Yi at the beginning, it might not be the current situation.

is more ghostly than a ghost, it really hit Guo Jia's heart, and Guo Jia only felt a pain in his chest.

"Hahaha." Cao Cao laughed, stepped onto the throne, and said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, this time the prime minister completely believes in your words, then you can say, the Sichuan army is coming to attack, how should we deal with it, fight or peace, or surrender?" ”

Sima Yi gave Cao Cao a salute, and everyone sighed, look, the children from the family are different, how polite, not like that ghost, who hangs all day long, likes to drink and prostitutes, but has no ability.

Guo Jia couldn't help coughing twice, pressed it down, and his face was a little pale.

Of course, Sima Yi noticed Guo Jia's situation, but in fact, he said that just now. It's about achieving this effect. Xun Yu is his number one enemy. However, Guo Jia is extremely talented and a very threatening enemy, and only by holding all the power in his hands can he rest assured that he can fight against the Sichuan army.

Sima Yi knew in his heart that the Sichuan army's bluff might account for more than fifty percent, but was it useful to tell the truth?

Cao Cao asked that sentence, and Sima Yi replied truthfully that bluff and tough attack were mixed? Doesn't that mean you didn't say it, isn't it nonsense? So how do you show your talent?

The answer is a bluff? No kidding. If the Sichuan army really fights, his Sima Yi's face will be embarrassed, and it will not conform to the conspiracy image he has always created.

Only the answer is definitely a tough attack, and it is a complete strategy.

First, such an affirmative answer can attract attention, and it can be seen that his firm attitude and undoubted wisdom of his own wisdom are as unfathomable as those before the war in Guanzhong and the retreat in Xuchang.

Second, if the Sichuan army really attacked hard, then it would be right for itself. No matter how you fight in the end, this first merit will definitely be your own. His own wisdom also surpasses that of others.

Third, if the Sichuan army is intimidation and intimidation, then it doesn't matter, Sima Yi doesn't believe that Cao Cao dares to be sure that the Sichuan army is intimidation, with the current situation of the Cao army, if the Sichuan army launches a full-scale attack regardless of its own situation, it is almost certain that Cao Cao will be defeated.

So even if Cao Cao believed eighty percent of the Sichuan army's bluff, he would still deal with it, and now that he has arrived, Cao Cao will have a ghost if he doesn't ask himself for countermeasures.

He replied that the Sichuan army was a tough attack, as long as he offered advice and reached peace with the Sichuan army, then he was the credit for avoiding the Cao army from falling into the flames of war when it was weak.

This credit is definitely more real than what I say about bluffing and tough attack, and if I say that I am bluffing, then I don't have any credit at all.

In this way, answering a bluff or a fifty percent bluff is not good for himself, but instead answering that the Sichuan army will definitely attack hard, no matter how the situation develops, Sima Yi will make all the gains.

And Sima Yi spoke in an affirmative tone just now, with the two predictions of Guanzhong before the war and the retreat of Xuchang, it has obviously had an effect, and now most of the civil and military forces of the Cao army have felt that what they said is right, and they are in the panic that the Sichuan army is about to attack, and they are eager for Sima Yi to come up with ideas to eliminate this war disaster.

Only a few people in Xun Yu and Xun Yu were thinking about why Sima Yi answered like this, but they were all people who sought truth from facts, no matter how resourceful they were, Sima Yi's deep scheming could not be reacted to for a while.

Now hearing Cao Cao's question, Sima Yi replied loudly after bowing: "Prime Minister, surrender, it is impossible, Xuchang slaughtered more than 100,000 people, and the innocent lives on Liu Zhang's hands stained Jiang Ze with blood, even if the prime minister wants to end the Han strife, but the people will not accept Liu Zhang, a tyrant."

However, Sima Yi believes that although Liu Zhang is violent, his strength is indeed strong, and we have just encountered a big defeat, so it is not appropriate to touch it hard, so in the face of the tough attack of the Sichuan army, the best strategy is peace, the middle strategy is to fight, and the next strategy is to retreat.

Of course, Liu Zhang, a tyrant, has fallen into war madness, we can't blindly hope for peace, we must prepare for war while seeking peace.

I believe in how to prepare for war, Lord Xun Yu, Mr. Guo Jia knows more than Sima Yi, Sima Yi will not be ugly, Sima Yi only said one sentence, prepare for war while seeking peace, and prepare for retreat while preparing for war, unless Mr. Xun Fengxiao has a winning strategy, otherwise we must have the determination to fight a decisive battle, but also have the preparation to retreat to the Yellow River. ”

All the civil officials nodded one after another, and they all felt that what Sima Yi said made sense, of course they had to prepare for war, otherwise they would be waiting for the lamb to be slaughtered, and preparing for war while preparing for war was preparing for retreat, which was more in line with the minds of civil officials.

Of course, these civilian officials were afraid that the Sichuan army would become stronger and stronger, but who was sure that the Cao army could defeat the Sichuan army? If the Cao army was defeated again, and it was too late to retreat, wouldn't they end up like the Xuchang clan?

As soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, several civil officials immediately came out to second.

"Smack, smack."

Cao Cao slapped his palms twice and said to Sima Yi: "Mr. Jiuwen is talented, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation, so since the best policy is to seek peace, how to make peace?" How to make the Sichuan army stop this war as much as possible. ”

Of course, Cao Cao doesn't want war, and it's not easy to get all the support of the Shi clan now, although this support makes Cao Cao very unhappy, but the only hope for Cao Cao's rise now is this, if there is no unreserved support from the Shi clan, Cao Cao knows that he doesn't have the strength to confront the Sichuan army at all.

Maybe Cao Cao had retreated north of the Yellow River.

After obtaining a large amount of money and food from the clan, Cao Jun urgently needs to have a time to use this money and food to restore his strength.

Even now, Cao Cao is not sure whether the Sichuan army is intimidating. But seeking peace is all to Cao Cao's heart.

Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Sima Yi is stupid. Nothing new. Or what he said in Xuchang at the beginning, he gave him the land he get, added the title of King of Shu, and then ......"

Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Hua Xin frowned and said, "Mr. Zhongda, now that the Son of Heaven has passed away, and we haven't established a new Son of Heaven, how can we talk about rewards?" How about sealing? ”

Sima Yi heard Hua Xin's words. slapped his forehead hard, "Ouch, ouch, look, my memory, don't blame me, don't blame you." ”

All the civil officials looked at Guo Jia at this time, and shook their heads without a trace, because after Sima Yi spread the rumors, they felt in their hearts that Guo Jia left the Son of Heaven. It also led to the killing of the Son of Heaven.

If the Son of Heaven is still there, he can follow Sima Yi's strategy today. Even if I listened to Sima Yi in Xuchang at the beginning, so many things would not have happened.

They didn't expect that it was because of the Son of Heaven that the Sichuan army failed to really break through Yingshui.

Sima Yi accepted it when he saw it, and continued: "The death of the Son of Heaven is not impossible, after all, the prime minister is also a prince and a prince, so he can go to Liu Zhang and persuade him to be crowned the king of Shu." ”

In the ancient period of division, it can be persuaded by other princes, as long as there are many people who persuade it, this is justified, and now Cao Cao is the second largest force in the world, if Cao Cao is persuaded to advance, Liu Zhang's seal of Shu Hou is also justified.

But when Sima Yi's words came out, several civil officials were immediately unhappy, Cao Cao's status was not lower than Liu Zhang's, and he was persuaded to enter? Doesn't that think you're a head of the Dwarf River? Immediately, several people came out to admonish.

Hua Xin said: "Mr. Zhongda, I don't think this move is appropriate, if so, our prestige will be lost, and the lord's face will be saved?" I think it's better for us to find an imperial descendant and support him as the emperor before sealing it. ”

Listening to Hua Xin's words, Sima Yi sneered: "Lord Hua Xin, let's not talk about how much time it takes to support the emperor, even if it is supported, who is more qualified than Liu Zhang?" Are you forcing Liu Zhang to be the emperor? ”

Sima Yi was not too polite to Hua Xin, the reason is that Hua Xin is not a real civil official of the family family, although Hua Xin was born in a family family, his principle of doing things is not a family principle, but a selfish interest.

In other words, Hua Xin is a person who is centered on his own interests, and from this point, many children of the clan look down on him, only because he is really talented and is indeed from a famous family, so they are more respectful to him.

The reason why Hua Xin is speaking for the Shi clan many times is because the interests of the Shi clan coincide with Hua Xin's interests.

The real family of civil officials is a line headed by Chen Qun, Xun Yu and others are the same as the children of the Cao Cao family, they belong to the lineage, and their status is higher than that of the family line.

In this way, Sima Yi doesn't have to care too much about Hua Xin's feelings, and now is the time for him to show his attitude, if he wants others to know his firmness in his plan, it is inevitable that he will offend and refute himself in order to highlight himself.

And Hua Xin listened to Sima Yi's words, and became a little embarrassed, he spoke too quickly, and he didn't think about it carefully.

Now there are many descendants of the royal family in the Han Dynasty, although there is no one in the Han Ling Emperor's lineage, but there are many people who are more rooted in Miao Hong than Liu Zhang's royal descendant.

But when it comes to qualifications, now go to other places to find a son of heaven to come back, is it as justifiable as Liu Zhang's title to be the emperor?

Once Cao Jun finds an imperial descendant to come back and support him, it will simply force Liu Zhang to be the emperor, and Liu Zhang's claim to be the emperor is even more reasonable, at least better than a new emperor of a side branch.

At that time, Cao Jun will be greatly passive.

Hua Xin's original intention was to maintain Cao Cao's authority, and for a person like Hua Xin, catering to the Lord was his goal, so when he heard Sima Yi's strategy to belittle Cao Cao, he lost his mouth for a while.

At this time, Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, the table is on the table, is it possible to give Liu Zhang a table, and you can still lose a piece of meat, Zhong Da, you continue." ”

Sima Yi bowed and continued: "The above table persuades Liu Zhang to be the king of Shu, and all the land west of Guanzhong and Yingshui will be recognized as Liu Zhang's land, and in addition, the wedding between the third lady and Liu Zhang must be restored. ”

After Sima Yi finished speaking, everyone was talking about each other, and Sima Yi later heard that Cao Cao was going to marry Cao Xian to Liu Zhang in Xuchang, but because Xuchang fell too quickly, he didn't make the trip.

And Cao Xian is already an old problem between the Cao army and the Sichuan army, when the Sichuan army captured Fancheng, they said to marry, Cao Xian escaped from marriage, and Xuchang said to marry, but it was too late.

At this time, this problem should also be understood, although people like Sima Yi will not believe that there is much benefit to being close to him, but even if it is a small benefit, it should be implemented, not to mention that Cao Xian's matter has dragged on for so long, and it should be brought to an end.

After all, if you want peace, not only Cao Cao wants it, but the family thinks about it, and he Sima Yi also wants it personally.

"Persuade the King of Shu, admit the land, and the relatives, en, and the true prime minister have all agreed, is there anything else?"

Cao Cao knew that Cao Xian didn't want to marry, but at this time, Cao Cao would not consider the feelings of one daughter, and the other two daughters who married Liu Xie were widowed, and he had also gone to see it.

This humiliation is really not worth mentioning compared to the recognition of the land, even the recognition of the land and persuasion, Cao Cao can do it, what is there to marry a daughter.

"There's one more left." Sima Yi looked up at Cao Cao and suddenly knelt down: "Sima Yi asked the prime minister to be crowned a prince." ”

Sima Yi threw himself to the ground with a respectful attitude, but there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone exclaimed.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Zhongda, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to add a prince to this prime minister at this moment, right?" We persuaded Liu Zhang, and then crowned the prince ourselves, wouldn't it anger Liu Zhang? This is a false name, weakening the bargaining chips for peace. ”

Sima Yi raised his head and said: "No, seeking peace is not seeking peace, if we are all about the benefits we give, it is absolutely impossible to let Liu Zhang know our determination to fight."

The prime minister added the title of King of Wei to tell Liu Zhang a clear signal that we only want peace, but we are not afraid of war.

As far as I know, the Sichuan army also has scruples, as long as we point out their weaknesses and give them a reason for an armistice, or a step for an armistice, then if they are really willing to negotiate peace, they will negotiate peace.

And cutting the soil and persuading us to marry the third lady is this step, but if we don't give a signal to dare to fight, then the Sichuan army may think that we are weak and really attack.

And if the prime minister does not add the title of prince, he will really be one level lower than Liu Zhang, which is very unfavorable to our army, in fact, since we are preparing for war while discussing peace, if the Sichuan army can bear it, how can we not bear a prince. ”

Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi's words and pondered for a long time, Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao and frowned, but the corner of his eyes looked at Xun Yu Xun You's uncle and nephew. (To be continued......)
