Although the people present unanimously agreed that Sima Yi would serve as the governor of Pingnan and lead the army that had been assembled and re-recruited, Ding Mi still suggested that Cao Shuang should not give orders lightly, and it would be best for Sima Yi or his henchmen to take the initiative to propose it at the time of tomorrow's court meeting.

Cao Shuang praised Ding Mi's strategy, and naturally obeyed his words.

When the next morning came, it was surprising that Sima Yi was ill and did not go to court.

However, Sima Yi's henchmen are still very "powerful", and they strongly recommended Sima Yi to serve as the governor of Pingnan in the court, commanding all the soldiers and horses, and pacifying the invading enemies of Wu.

Situ Gaorou, Taiwei Jiang Ji, and Doctor Liu Fang Sun Zi and others all jointly played, indicating that non-Sima Yi was not enough to take on this important task.

Cao Shuang soon "conformed to the will of the people", and Cao Fang drafted a decree to appoint Sima Yi as the governor of Pingnan, control the soldiers and horses of Huainan and Jingzhou, and requisition a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses from Sanhe and the Chinese army, and went south to resist the attack of the enemy in Eastern Wu.

Sanhe soldiers and horses refer to the county soldiers of Yin, Hanoi and Hedong counties in Henan, because the soldiers of Sanhe County play the role of defending the Beijing division, so they are well-equipped and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of some other state and county soldiers.

Of course, the transfer of Sanhe soldiers and horses is also to move quickly, in the case of insufficient Chinese troops, Sanhe soldiers and horses have always been a more ideal choice, otherwise the mobilization of soldiers and horses from other states and counties is obviously difficult to quench the thirst of the near water, and when they arrive in Luoyang and then send troops, the daylily is estimated to be cold.

The people of Cao Shuang's family were more satisfied with this result, while Sima Yi's henchmen were all elated, thinking that Wu Guo was too "helpful" this time, so that Sima Yi, who had been more frustrated recently, was complacent again.

Before the will was delivered, the news had already been delivered to the Taifu Mansion first.

At this moment, Sima Yi is calmly playing five bird plays in the back garden of Taifu's mansion, one move and one style, stretching and generous, and the movements are standardized.

Sima Yi, who is already sixty and two, looks full of red face, full of spirits, without the slightest sign of old age, and without any signs of illness, the reason why he is sick and does not go to court is because Cao Shuang is too strong at present, and Sima Yi has to resort to obscurity, retreat as advance, and wait for the opportunity.

He has practiced this set of five poultry operas handed down to Sima Yi by the divine doctor Hua Tuo for many years, and he has long been extremely proficient.

Sima Yi and Bi Tuo have a good personal relationship, but it is a pity that although this set of bird tricks has been handed down, its creator has long been a tomb grass and green corpses.

Sima Yi retracted, sighed lightly, and said to himself: "A companion is like a tiger!" ”

At this time, Sima Shi came in from outside, he walked in a hurry, but his face was full of spring breeze, and when he saw Sima Yi, he said from afar: "Father, it's a happy event, there is a big happy event!" ”

Since Sima Shi was released from prison, after recuperation, his physical condition has returned to normal, but his official position as a free rider has long been withdrawn, and now he is idle at home.

Sima Yi's expression was calm, and Gujing said without waves: "What's the happy thing?" ”

Sima Shi said: "The puppet emperor of Eastern Wu, Sun Quanqin, led the four roads of 200,000 troops to invade Huainan and Jingzhou, and Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengnan who wanted to take command of the expedition, was withdrawn by Cao Shuang. This news was revealed at the time of the court meeting, and the edict will come later. ”

After Sima Yi heard the news, he said lightly: "What a joy? ”

Sima Shi was stunned, and wondered: "My father lost the military power of the second battalion of the backbone base because of his child, and if he can regain control of the military power of the southern army this time, it will also be a lost harvest of Sangyu in the east, isn't this a happy event?" ”

Sima Yi didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically: "What is Cao Shuang's attitude?" ”

Sima Shi said: "Cao Shuang has no one to fight on his side, even the previously appointed general Xiahou Xuan of Zhengnan is just chasing ducks to the shelves and barely acting, this time to deal with the 200,000 army of Wu State, except for a long-experienced general like my father, who can deserve it?" Cao Shuang had to accept this proposal even if he was unwilling. ”

Sima Yi shook his head lightly and said: "Shi'er, you are still too young, although Cao Shuang has no strategy, but there is no shortage of resourceful people around him, that Ding Mi is not a good type, this 'drive the tiger and devour the wolf' plan is obviously from this person's hand." ”

"Driving tigers and devouring wolves?" Sima Shi said in surprise.

Sima Yi said: "Yes, Xun Wenruo once offered a plan to Taizu, so that Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu merged with each other, and died one after another. ”

Sima Shi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said, "What a vicious strategy, this Ding Mi, it's really damned!" What should you do, father, or refuse to edict under the pretext of illness? ”

Sima Yi shook his head lightly and said: "It's okay, Cao Shuang wants to get rid of me by the hands of the Wu people, but unfortunately they don't know, the Wu people only think about keeping the success, not about making progress, don't look at their 200,000 army is menacing, in fact, the content is just a soaking of water." My father and the Wu people have dealt with each other more than once, and their heart for the Northern Expedition is far less firm than that of Zhuge Liang, but they are just trying to steal the opportunity and seek some small profits and small benefits. 200,000, that is all Sun Quan's belongings, if he loses all these soldiers and horses in Huainan Jingzhou, then he, the emperor, will be the end. ”

Sima Shixi said: "Then my father is ready to accept the edict and go on the expedition?" ”

Sima Yi said lightly: "The holy decree cannot be violated, even if the father knows that it is a plan, he must give them a plan, and the father wants to see how well they can play this wishful thinking?" ”

Sima Shi arched his hand and said: "On this expedition, the child implores his father to let the child accompany him." "After Sima Shi was cut down, he has been seeking to re-emerge, but Cao Shuang is in power, and he wants to reorganize his career, which is difficult, so this time Sima Yi is in command, but he has the best opportunity to go out.

His father is the commander of the army, as long as he can return triumphantly, it is still a matter of convenience to give him some military merits.

Sima Yi hadn't taken Sima Shi to play before, but this time it was different, Sima Yi said solemnly: "Okay, then you can join the army." ”
