Linqiang City.

In the mansion, Guan Ping was in the mansion receiving the envoys sent by Oh He and Yao Ge.

Originally, the envoy of the Di people just passed by Linqiang and was ready to rest, so he set off again and went straight to Longxi Di Dao to meet Guan Ping.

Although Linqiang is the royal city, it is also a transit place connecting the Hexi Corridor and Longxi County.

But he didn't expect it, and as soon as he entered the city, he found ...... The sky has changed in the city.

On all sides of the city, there are Han flags fluttering in all directions.

When he figured out the reason for all this, he was briefly stunned, and then immediately handed a letter on letterhead to his attendants and returned to Hexi to tell the truth.

And the envoy has officially become the guest of honor of the Han army at this moment.

Guan Ping already had the idea of befriending the forces in Hexi, and when he heard that Oh He and Yao Ge actually had the intention of taking the initiative to make friends, he immediately took action and sent someone to invite the envoys of the two sides to meet.

……

Meanwhile.

Plug outside.

Since Cao Zhang and Jia Kui led three thousand Youyan knights to sweep the grasslands, the strength of all tribes has been greatly weakened, and even some lowly tribes have been wiped out because of this!

For a time, the tribal chiefs unanimously went to the royal court to ask the Khan Kebineng to send troops to expel the Han army.

Although Kebi could think deeply and vaguely guess in his heart that this was the plan of the Han people, the combat strength of Cao Zhang's troops was too amazing, but all the tribes that were attacked by him were almost either destroyed or greatly reduced in strength, and he had to gather troops to send troops.

On the other hand, if he insists on holding his ground, I am afraid that his prestige will suddenly be lost.

For more than a month, Kebineng also relied on his familiarity with the topography of the grassland, and designed several times to prepare to lead the Han army into the Gobi and the desert and annihilate it, but Cao Zhang was aware of it in advance and was defeated.

As they moved deeper and deeper into the hinterland of the grassland, the Han army was too unfamiliar with the endless grassland, and it became more and more difficult to find the tribes, and the supply lines were gradually missing.

In response to this situation, the deputy general Jia Kui hurriedly proposed: "Second son, our army has been out of the fortress to plunder the tribes for more than a month, and Na Kebineng has also been forced to gather troops to encircle and intercept our army, and now we have gone deeper into the grassland for more than a thousand miles, getting closer and closer to the hinterland of Xianbei, but it is more difficult to maintain the connection between Daijun and the King of Wei. ”

"Kui thinks that it is time for our army to lead the army back to Daijun to attract the Hu people to chase and fall into the ambush set by Mr. Jia Wenhe, if our army continues to go deep into the grassland, and is not familiar with the situation and geography of the grassland, it is easy for Kebi to seize the flaws and fall into a crisis."

Jia Kui put forward a prudent suggestion and proposed to accept it when it is good.

"Brother Liang Dao, our army is back to the division at this time, can Kebi really chase after Daijun?"

"If he doesn't mention the army, won't our army's efforts over the past month or so be in vain?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhang also looked worried and said.

"Second son, rest assured, this matter is fine, even if Kebi can see through our other intentions, but our army has been sweeping the grassland for more than a month, and most of the tribes have been attacked first, resulting in a great loss of strength, how can they swallow this breath and let us leave?"

"If Kebi can hold his troops still, it will discredit him in the royal court, and in serious cases, it will even make some tribes independent."

Speaking of this, Jia Kui smiled and said: "Therefore, he must fight this battle, even if he knows that the front is a plan, he has to jump." ”

After getting Jia Kui's analysis, Cao Zhang immediately nodded again and again, and immediately led the crowd back to the army according to his plan.

Sure enough, after receiving the information that the Han army was running south to the Great Wall, Kebineng felt more and more deceitful, and intended to send troops to roam the various parts of the grassland, so as to prevent the Han army from rushing out of the fortress again, so he did not want to lead the crowd to pursue.

But at this moment, the patriarchs of the tribes have already been bitter about the Han army, and they hate Cao Zhang even more, so they have petitioned with an extremely tough attitude, and under pressure, Kebineng had to rush to the Youyan border south of Yinshan Mountain.

……

The land of the Swallow, Daijun.

Inside the Temporary Palace.

At this moment, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, was dressed in a big red robe and stared closely at the several letterheads on the desk, and unconsciously stroked his whiskers that had turned white, with a happy smile on his face.

As for the person kneeling on the left side below, it is the old minister Cheng Yu, and the person on the right is Sima Yi, who is eight feet long, tall and strong, with a serious and calm complexion, and is known as the eagle and the wolf.

After that, it is Jia Xu, a poisoner who has always been extremely low-key, but this design led the Hu people to attack.

Looking at Cao Cao sitting on the king's seat, he became more and more pleased, and the old minister Cheng Yu couldn't help but ask: "King Wei, what caused you to be so happy?" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose slightly, his momentum was vigorous, his eyes looked at them, and he smiled: "Haha! This matter is naturally happy for the lonely Huang Xu'er and his son-in-law Xiahou Zilin. ”

After the words fell, he frowned slightly, and continued: "According to the intelligence of the northern Xinjiang, Cao Zhang and Jia Kui have led their troops to go deeper into the grassland for more than 1,000 miles, and there are countless tribes that have been plundered along the way, and now they have aroused the unanimous hatred of the patriarchs of various tribes. ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao glanced at Jia Xu with a somewhat strange and solemn look in his eyes at this time, and said lightly: "Once Hu Kou leads the crowd to come, then the ambush that our army has arranged for more than a month will not be in vain!" ”

"If this battle is successful, Xianbei's strength will be greatly damaged, and within a few years, I don't have to worry about the troubles in my northern Xinjiang!"

Then, he held a letterhead in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, after Zhu Ling led his troops to Yanmen, he was even more fearless of the difficulties and dangers outside, and personally went to Danhan Mountain to meet Khan Budugen, and now he has persuaded Budugen to target Kebineng with his ability." ”

"This letterhead is a letter from Zhao, saying that as long as the main force of our army traps Kebineng's department, Budugen will personally launch an elite raid on the Xianbei royal court in the east, and attack Kebi Neng to make it unable to be fixed."

At the end of the words, he showed a long-lost chuckle and said: "Lone's ambition in his early years was to be a general in the west, and he was willing to sweep away the border passes and return the people to peace in the border areas." ”

"If this battle goes well, Lonely's wish will also be fulfilled!"

After all the words, Sima Yi below was full of joy at this moment, and his hands were even more congratulatory: "Weichen wishes King Wei in advance to sweep away Hu Lu and make the world peaceful." ”

After some congratulations, Cao Cao not only did not be full of joy when he saw this, but his face suddenly sank [ biquge.xyz], his eyes glanced at Sima Yi a few times, and he was extremely entangled in his heart, and said secretly: "This person is so thoughtful, he has been alone for a long time and arranged to get along with him every day, but he always feels that he is not close to ordinary people." ”

At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes were sharp, and with his indifferent face, it made people tremble.

For a moment, Sima Yi seemed to feel Cao Cao's gaze, and suddenly let out a long breath in his heart, and then quickly lowered his head and was silent, just at that moment, he seemed to feel the murderous intent in Cao Cao's eyes.

It's just that the current Sima Yi does not have the slightest ambition to show, and the official position is only a master Bo Er, Cao Cao only thinks that this person is extraordinary, different from ordinary people, and some can't see through it to give birth to a killing machine, but other than that, he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with him.

The so-called "eagle and wolf Gu", Cao Cao warned his son Cao Pi before he died, and words such as that he could not be reused, are not credible.

According to common sense, Sima Yi in Cao Cao's era was not in an important position, and his status was not high, how could he think that he would rebel after a long time?

Could it be that Cao Cao is a time-traveler with an aura of familiar history?

Secondly, since Sima Yi is a mature politician, he may not be able to show his feet and be seized by the monarch before the time is ripe, of course, the most important thing is that Sima Yi really had the ambition to seize the world during the Cao Cao period?

People are subject to change, and generally the desire for profit will give birth to a different mind after mastering the authority.

And Sima Yi was reused only after Cao Pi, or after the death of Cao Zhen, an important minister of the clan who entrusted Gu during the Cao Ei period, due to the pressure on the Western Front to be forced by the Northern Expedition of Shu Han, the pressure on the general to defend was doubled, and in view of Sima Yi's series of achievements in Pingliaodong and Blitz Meng Da, he would be recruited to Guanzhong to dominate the military and politics and resist Zhuge Liang.

In other words, Sima Yi's ambition should be the result of fighting for power with Cao Shuang.

After the successful coup d'état, step by step to the peak of power, how many people can resist the temptation and choose to be loyal ministers?

After half a ring, Cheng Yu also stroked his long white beard at this time and looked at the ancient well without waves on one side, Jia Xu, who had not said a word, smiled and praised: "Haha! King Wei, according to the old minister's opinion, if Hu Kouke can be severely damaged this time, then Jia Wenhe should be the first credit. ”

In a word, it is over.

Cheng Yu continued to stare at him and said: "Wen He's strategy is exhaustive and insightful, and he has figured out all aspects of human nature, which is really exquisite!" ”

This statement is not a boast, but also comes from Cheng Yu's sincere admiration.

Jia Xu's strategy, first Cao Zhang led the crowd to raid the tribes outside the Saiwai, the purpose of which was to make the patriarchs extremely hateful to their own army and unable to resist, then they had to unanimously urge Kebi to gather troops to attack the Han army.

If Kebi is unwilling, he will lose the hearts of the tribes, and his prestige will be greatly reduced.

If the army is sent, it will be in the trap.

This is also the most clever part of Jia Xu's strategy.

Because he also knows very well that a simple ambush strategy is difficult to make an outstanding grassland celestial arrogant plan, how can he be hit hard?

As for the second part, the garrison Yanmen, sending the joint and Kebi can always be at odds with the step of the root to attack its rear, which is the core of the strategy.

Merely.

Hearing Cheng Yu's praise, Jia Xu was still unhappy, extremely calm, and said softly: "Zhongde is serious, this is just a small skill of carving insects, if it can hit Hu Kou hard, it is the work of the generals, what is the merit of Xu?" ”

After some words, Jia Xu was still very low-key.

He didn't want to be noticed by Cao Cao at all.

Seeing this, Cao Cao stared at Jia Xu fiercely for a long time, with a weak look on his face, since Jia Xu attached to him, he has always been cautious and low-key, and rarely took the initiative to offer advice.

Therefore, although he has hidden obscurity in his chest, he is not well-known in Cao Ying.

However, Cao Cao doesn't care about him, as long as he doesn't form a party for personal gain.

Then, Cao Cao held up a letter again, with uncontrollable joy and emotion on his face, and said happily: "You see, this is Lone's son-in-law Xiahou Zilin, this has only been half a year of hard work, has it changed much?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the letterhead was passed to everyone in turn.
