Why did Yingchuan have such a strange troop movement? Is it really because Liu Yu transferred all the elite troops away and neglected the defense of Yingchuan?

Of course not. Liu Yu did not have any transfer of the remaining troops in Yingchuan, on the contrary, Liu Yu also increased the investment of troops in Yingchuan before. So why is this happening?

Actually, it has to do with one person.

This person is Sima Yi.

Sima Yi assisted Yanzhou Mu Zhao Yun to guard against Cao Cao. Cao Cao had no intention of continuing the offensive after the rout of his previous attack on Yanzhou, which made Sima Yi feel a little strange. Sima Yi thought about letting the lord of Yanzhou's Liu army attack Yuzhou. Since the last time Lu Bu easily broke through Cao Cao's defense, Cao Cao has almost exhausted his means in defense, Sima Yi is a strategist who defends the strong and attacks the weak, and in the face of Cao Cao's strict defense strategy, Sima Yi cannot find the loopholes in it, resulting in futility.

Sima Yi learned from his intelligence officers that Zhuge Liang had become the chief military advisor of Liu Yu's southern expedition. Sima Yi immediately felt a huge pressure. What does the chief military advisor represent, Sima Yi can know after a simple thought, no matter what the result of the southern expedition is, Zhuge Liang will definitely be promoted and raised this time. Thinking that he entered the military aircraft department a little earlier than Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi thought that he was on the same level as Zhuge Liang in terms of ability, but unfortunately he was now taken by Zhuge Liang. Sima Yi's heart is a little unbalanced.

Sima Yi knew that it was not Liu Yu who was unfair to him, but Liu Yu gave him a great opportunity, if he could break Yuzhou, then the huge credit would be his. Zhuge Liang was able to be entrusted with a heavy task by Liu Yu, not because Zhuge Liang had a great advantage in Jingzhou. But Sima Yi doesn't think that Pang Tong in Jingzhou is more effective than Zhuge Liang, compared to Sima Yi's heart, Zhuge Liang is much more reliable than Pang Tong, and Sima Yi thinks the same thing about Liu Yu.

Others are one step ahead of them, and they can only catch up.

After studying the personalities of Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei, Sima Yi boldly hatched a plan. Sima Yi thought that if Cao Cao wanted to make a move against Liu Yu, there were only three places where he would be threatened. A junction between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, last time Cao Cao sent a large army to attack this place, but unfortunately it was cracked in the end. The other is Nanyang, Cao Cao occupies Runan, which borders Nanyang, so as long as Cao Cao's army advances into Nanyang, then he can cut off Liu Yu's connection with his own territory and isolate Liu Yu. The last one is the Yingchuan area, including Xuchang City.

The first two places were excluded by Sima Yi. In the first place, Cao Cao has already suffered a big loss there, according to Cao Cao's style, if he wants to be ashamed, he will definitely plan more, but in the current situation, Cao Cao will not attack here and waste his troops. And Sima Yi can guarantee that if Cao Cao dares to come to attack, not to mention the terror of the old fox Jia Xu in Xuzhou, Sima Yi can defend Cao Cao to the point of doubting his life. Nanyang was also excluded. Why? The importance of Nanyang is the greatest, and the impact of capturing this place is the greatest. But Liu Yu must have made arrangements in Nanyang, and it is very difficult for Cao Cao to take Nanyang. Even if Cao Cao took Nanyang, Cao Cao would not be able to defend it, because all the troops under Liu Yu's command would be mobilized to recapture Nanyang. At that time, the Cao army that captured Nanyang was encircled, and it was only a matter of time before it perished.

Then there is only this place left in Yingchuan. Yingchuan has a different meaning for Cao Cao, and many of Cao Cao's talents are from here, so they will definitely think of finding an opportunity to take Yingchuan back. There are so many families and talents in Yingchuan, and the products are also very rich, recapture here, the family of Yingchuan will not have much resistance to Cao Cao, Yingchuan can be quickly absorbed by Cao Cao and become Cao Cao's help.

Sima Yi knows the virtues of the family, as long as there are enough benefits, they can do anything.

So, Sima Yi and Zhao Yun secretly discussed for a long time, and finally found Ma Chao and gave Ma Chao a task.

After learning what Sima Yi asked him to do, Ma Chao agreed very happily. Sima Yi also marched with the horse. Sima Yi's ability is very strong, with him by his side, Zhao Yun can save a lot of thoughts, and now that Sima Yi is leaving, Zhao Yun is a little reluctant.

Sima Yi had other plans, and he would not give up because of Zhao Yun's reluctance, and said directly: "My lord, all military affairs in Yanzhou have been standardized, and it is concluded that Cao Cao will not come to attack." Adults can leave affairs to other people to deal with, and I think that Gongwei and others will be able to handle it. I went with General Meng Qi and had other plans. ”

Zhao Yun had to agree to Sima Yi, if he still forced Sima Yi to stay, wouldn't it be tantamount to asking in vain that Meng Jian, Shi Tao and others were not as capable as Sima Yi, even if it was a fact, but they invisibly offended Meng Jian and Shi Tao. When he has always shown himself as a good man, Zhao Yun will not make this mistake.

Zhao Yun's military thinking is still very high, even if Cao Cao comes to attack Yanzhou, with Zhao Yun's ability, he is still afraid that he will not succeed.

So Sima Yi and Ma Chao's subordinates secretly entered Yingchuan.

Before entering Yingchuan, Sima Yi ordered all civil and military officials and wealthy families in Yingchuan to keep secrets.

Ma Chao was a little puzzled by this and asked, "Zhongda, is it necessary to be so mysterious?" Why should we hide it? ”

Ma Chao relied on his sister and the prince Liu Xuan to be married, and he didn't take Sima Yi very seriously at all, although Sima Yi was talented, Ma Chao has always regarded Sima Yi as a junior.

Sima Yi wouldn't mind Ma Chao talking like this, he went on the expedition with Ma Chao this time, and he also had plans to build a good relationship with his future relatives.

"General Meng Qi, this Yingchuan family has an inextricable relationship with Cao Cao's side, if we don't do this, it may leak our whereabouts, and it will be difficult for us to yin Cao Jun. So I have to be cautious. Sima Yi explained.

Although Ma Chao is a rough man, he has been in the court for a long time, and he also knows some of the bad things in the family. If it was Ma Chao's character in the past, he would definitely arrest all the people of the Yingchuan family. Ma Chao won't do that now, he is much more mature than before.

"Everything is done according to what Zhongda said! I'm a rough man, and I really don't understand this kind of twists and turns. Ma Chao said.

Sima Yi smiled and said nothing, if you Ma Mengqi are a simple rough person, I, Sima Zhongda, will not waste time on the expedition with you this time.

"General Meng Qi, even if there is a plan in the next place, it takes a peerless general like General Meng Qi to realize the strategy." Sima Yi said this sentence very directly, and the meaning of flattery was very obvious.

Ma Chao is very useful, he is originally a very face-saving person, Sima Yi is also very happy to promote him like this.

Sure enough, under Sima Yi's strict order, Yingchuan did not leak any news about Ma Chao and Sima Yi's coming. Needless to say, officials as big as Sima Yi and Ma Chao killed them with a little finger, and they naturally knew that they were strict with the people below. Although I don't know the true intentions of Sima Yi and Ma Chao to come to Yingchuan, if they have important things in Yingchuan, as long as the local officials cooperate properly, this credit is indispensable. Liu Yu has always had clear rewards and punishments, and the officials naturally know what to do.

The families were much more active, they were guessing Sima Yi's intentions at first, but in the end, all the Yingchuan families reached an agreement and did exactly what Sima Yi ordered. The families all know that they are now in Yingchuan, and their identities are very embarrassing. Because they had contributed a lot to Cao Cao before, providing talents and money. No one can guarantee that Sima Yi came to test them on Liu Yu's orders this time, if this is really the case, Sima Yi and Ma Chao will find a reason to beat them, and then openly raid the family and exterminate the clan, which is not worth it. The Maisons responded immediately, strictly ordering no one to go out. If there are unscrupulous descendants who do not listen to the advice, then the heads of these families will let them know what family law is!

The first thing Sima Yi did when he arrived in Yingchuan was to eliminate elite spies and search for Cao Jun's situation. Moreover, the news of Cao's attack on Nanyang also reached Sima Yi.

Sima Yi smiled, it was impossible for Cao Cao to attack Nanyang, and he couldn't withstand Liu Yu's desperate attack at all. Since this was the case, Sima Yi concluded that Cao Jun's true intention was Yingchuan. The idea of a smart person is very simple. They will all reason about everything beforehand, and then come to conclusions based on different situations.

With this conclusion, Sima Yi intensified the search in Yingchuan. Sima Yi received the help of Yingchuan's "dark department" rudder, which made the search much more efficient.

Why was Sima Yi able to get the help of the "dark department"? The main reason is that Liu Yu once instructed Li Gui to monitor Sima Yi, and Liu Yu was not so relieved about Sima Yi. Li Gui had already planted a nail beside Sima Yi, and at the same time, he had been sending people to keep an eye on Sima Yi's whereabouts. When Li Gui knew that Sima Yi was going to design Cao Jun in Yingchuan, Li Gui, a ghost, didn't know how to order the "dark department" to help Sima Yi in Yingchuan's rudder. The excuse given by the rudder was very simple, the order of the peak.

Sima Yi didn't know that this was the convenience provided by Li Gui, thinking that Li Gui was an intentional intersect, of course Sima Yi gladly accepted it. Anyway, if it's cheap, it's a bastard.

As for whether Li Gui intended to marry Sima Yi, it is unknown.

In the end, Cao Ren's lurking in Yingchuan was clearly known by Sima Yi, and he even knew how many soldiers and horses and who the main general was. I have to say that the ability of the "dark department" is really strong, and Cao Ren doesn't know that he has already discovered the traces of others.

Sima Yi analyzed Cao Ren's character and Cao Ren's current situation, and then designed a big drama to mobilize troops and horses, and at the same time prepared to use the small losses of several cities to lure Cao Ren to go further.

"This Cao Ren is not that stupid. As long as it's so easy, will you be tricked? Ma Chao didn't believe that Sima Yi's simple strategy could make Cao Ren take the initiative to attack.

Sima Yi smiled: "General Meng Qi, why don't we make a bet?" ”

Ma Chao thinks it's better to forget it, there is no benefit in winning a bet, and there is no face if you lose, it is better not to gamble.

But in the end, a scene that surprised Ma Chao was staged, and Cao Ren really did as Sima Yi said, and did what Sima Yi arranged. Ma Chao secretly shouted in his heart, how is this possible?

"Zhongda, how did you do that?" Ma Chao is now a little afraid of Sima Yi's resourcefulness, it seems to be a simple arrangement, but it can actually work.

Sima Yi pretended to be profound: "There are some people in this world who just don't admit that they are stupid, they feel that their strategy is right, and they also imagine others as people like him. Often these fools are just played around by others, and in the end they don't even have their lives. ”

"Zhongda, let's talk something honest." Ma Chao looked at Sima Yi with a strange expression, why is this person so immoral in speaking. Even if Cao Ren is a fool, you can't say that. And you didn't say who was the fool openly, it's hard to say that you weren't pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Sima Yi thought that Ma Chao had misunderstood, so he explained: "Cao Ren's lone army went deep and prepared to attack Yingchuan, but there was almost no follow-up support. After investigation, it was learned that he was beginning to run out of food and grass. At this time, let's make a little more illusion, Cao Ren is still obediently tricked? ”

Well, with such an explanation, Ma Chao understood.

It's just that Sima Yi said so much just now, is it showing that he is stronger than Ma? Ma Chao was very unhappy about this.

Ma Chao asked, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”

"Naturally, Cao Ren was destroyed! It is not difficult to see the opportunity and take the opportunity to enter Yuzhou. Sima Yi said proudly.

Ma Chao smiled, this is what he wants.

"Okay, how to arrange it, you decide." Ma Chao recognized Sima Yi's ability.

Sima Yi pointed to a place on the map and said: "Please also ask General Meng Qi to lead the soldiers and horses to ambush here, and give him a big surprise when Cao Ren arrives!" ”

Ma Chao slapped his palms and said cautiously: "Okay, this is the general." ”

Without much nonsense, Ma Chao immediately went out and took his troops and horses to the place designated by Sima Yi to ambush.

Sima Yi looked at Ma Chao's back and said lightly: "Ma Mengqi, Ma Mengqi, you may be the help of my Sima family!" ”

Sima Yi looked at the south again, and the figure of Zhuge Liang floated in his heart.

"Kong Ming, now is just the beginning, you and I haven't really decided the winner yet. Just look at how well you are at Your Majesty's side. Or my Sima Zhongda's skills. This time, let's take Cao Ren first! Hehe! Sima Yi laughed gloomily.
