Sima Yi didn't look up, but continued to sort out the official documents of the case slowly, and only said after a while: "Does my son really think that this is a great achievement?" ”

Sima Shi was stunned, and said sneeringly: "What does father mean?" ”

Sima Yi finally stopped what he was doing, raised his head, looked at Sima Shi, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "If this battle is fought well, it will naturally be a miracle, but if it is not fought well, let alone the merit, even whether the net worth can be saved, I am afraid it is an unknown number." ”

Sima Shi suddenly realized, and said with a little surprise: "Father means ......"

Sima Yi stretched out his hand to stop him, and said in a deep voice: "Silence! Remember, no matter when and where, it is only providence, on the battlefield, the message is ever-changing, there are many things, not for the father can be controlled, remember to remember! ”

Sima Shi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The child respects his father's teachings. ”

Xiahou Xuan returned to the camp with excitement on his face, and happened to bump into Cao Liang.

Cao Liang was a little surprised, and said, "Brother Taichu, this is a happy event?" ”

Xiahou Xuan smiled and said: "The first battle of the southern expedition is about to start, and this first battle is about to fall on the head of the foolish brother, isn't it a happy event." ”

Cao Liang was confused when he heard it, he has been dealing with various official documents in the past few days, and the news transmitted from all sides said that the Wu army had already heard the wind and moved, and before the Wei army reinforcements arrived, it had already taken the initiative to withdraw the troops besieging Shouchun, Lu'an and Yiyang, and now the main force of the Wu army is gone, and the Wei army is still stranded in Huaibei, Xiahou Xuan said that the war is about to start, what is going on?

"Didn't you say that the Wu army had fled without a fight, how could there still be a battle to be fought?"

Xiahou Xuan said with a smile: "Who said that the Wu army fled without a fight, they took the initiative to withdraw and prepared to ambush our army in Anfengdu. ”

Anfengdu? Cao Liang raised his eyebrows, it seems that Dongwu is really holding back a big move, if you consider it from a tactical point of view, Anfengdu is indeed a more ideal ambush location, although Huaishui is not as wide and majestic as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but it is also a big river, in this era, rivers, mountains and rivers are natural barriers, if the Wu army set up an ambush on the south bank of Huaishui, and when the Wei army crosses halfway, if it suddenly attacks, it will definitely not be able to eat and walk.

But what kind of plan is a good plan before it is recognized, once it is recognized, it can no longer be called a good plan, Sima Yi is such an old fox, how can he easily fall into the trap of others, since Sima Yi has seen through the Wu people's strategy, then he must have already had a way to crack it.

"Then what countermeasures does Governor Sima have?"

"Of course there is, if you want to break the ambush of the Wu people, our army only needs to send an elite army, bypass the Huaishui from elsewhere, and turn to the back of the Wu army, and the main army should be combined with the outside, and the front and back can be flanked, and the Wu people can be broken."

"Brother Tai Chu didn't want to tell me that this elite army will be led by you, right?"

Xiahou Xuan said quite complacently: "Yes, this strategy was proposed by me, and it is naturally up to me to implement it. ”

Cao Liang couldn't help frowning, this Xiahou Xuan wants to go crazy for credit, go around behind the enemy, and say that it sounds good to call the inside and the outside, and the front and back are sandwiched, and it is not good to say, that is, the lone army is deep, once it loses the response, it will inevitably fall into the encirclement of the enemy, Xiahou Xuan's strategy is really a chestnut in the fire.

Since Sima Yi became the governor of Pingnan, Cao Liang's defensiveness against him has not diminished day by day, others may be confused by Sima Yi's appearance, but Cao Liang will not, Sima Yi's ruthlessness and determination, he is vivid, when it comes to politics, Sima Yi has never been soft, he and Xiahou Xuanke are both enemies of the Sima family, Sima Yi is silent on the surface, but I am afraid that he hates it in his heart, once he has the opportunity, how can Sima Yi let it go?

Cao Liang didn't know the details, so he asked Xiahou Xuan what the situation was at that time, and when Xiahou Xuan was proud, he naturally said everything and told Cao Liang in detail what was going on in the Chinese military tent.

On the surface, this is completely an ordinary military meeting, and this strategy of attacking inside and outside is indeed the best plan to crack the enemy's half-crossing attack, and this task was applied for by Xiahou Xuan on his own initiative, Sima Yi disagreed in every way, and there was Niu Jin to fight for it, and in the end, Xiahou Xuan wanted to fight for this task by means of a military order.

No matter how you look at it, there's nothing wrong with it.

There was no coercion, no forcible orders, and even the plan of action was put forward by Xiahou Xuan on his own initiative, if it was said that this was also framed by Sima Yi, no one would believe it if he was killed.

But Cao Liang always vaguely felt that there was something wrong, Sima Yi was scheming, treacherous and vicious, if this was really a great opportunity for meritorious service, was Sima Yi really willing to give up the opportunity to Xiahou Xuan?

Obviously, there is a grudge between the Sima family and Xiahou Xuan, just because he is Cao Shuang's cronies, it is impossible to be reused by Sima Yi.

This southern expedition made it clear that Xiahou Xuan would be gilded, and if he earned some credit, he could make Xiahou Xuan's official position rise again, because if there was no prestige and meritorious service, even if Xiahou Xuan really took charge of the army, he might not be able to convince those important ministers of the court.

Cao Shuang is now in the military, and there are not many people he can rely on, and he transferred Xiahou Xuanti to replace Sima Yi's position and lead the world's soldiers and horses.

With such a strong political enemy, it is too late for Sima Yi to get rid of him, how can he give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, unless Sima Yi's brain is in water, he will do such a thing.

Then after ruling out this possibility, there is only one possibility left, that is, Sima Yi must have a conspiracy.

On the surface, this task was won by Xiahou Xuan, but it was under Sima Yi's persuasion that Xiahou Xuan, who was hot-headed and bent on fighting merits, took the initiative to take the initiative, as for Niu Jin? Cao Liang smiled, it was just a double reed with Sima Yi.

From this point of view, Xiahou Xuan has been placed in a huge danger, Sima Yi is trying to borrow a knife to kill people, borrow the hand of Dongwu to get rid of his own trouble, what a poisonous strategy!
