Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu again, and said in his heart According to what Zhongde said, in this way, if it is the best policy, wouldn't it be ......

Sure enough, I saw Cheng Yu continue: "As for the best policy, I think the lord has already thought of it." Yes, that is to completely solve this matter once and for all, that is, the lord directly ...... Sima Yi"

As he spoke, Cheng Yu set up a palm with his right hand, and then made a downward cutting motion. That means that it couldn't be more obvious, that is, to kill Sima Yi directly. In this way, there will be one less person in the world who is "wolf-oriented", and he will naturally no longer have to worry about anything. And with Cheng Yu's character, he is indeed decisive, and he naturally wants his lord to use this best strategy the most.

However, Cao Cao is not Cheng Yu, so in fact, in terms of Cao Cao's character, he naturally chose the second middle strategy, so he said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde's three strategies are indeed not bad." It's just that I think it's better to be in the middle of the strategy, and it is better for them to be of my use, not to other princes. As for the direct extermination, it would be a pity to have their talents! ”

After all, I have heard of this "wolf Gu Zhixiang", but I have never seen it before, and there is no specific example. So Cao Cao does cherish Sima Yi's talents, and Cao Cao's character dictates that in his thoughts, even if he Sima Yi is disloyal and ambitious, but doing things under his own account, he has to be dormant. And it has to be used by others, so in this way, it is the best way to do it.

Cheng Yu sighed in his heart at this time, and said in his heart Sure enough, his lord still chose this middle policy. This is really what he expected, if Cao Cao chooses the next strategy or the best policy, it will be beyond Cheng Yu's expectations.

"What does Zhongde think?"

Cheng Yu listened. My lord said in my heart, even if I want to refute it, can you still change your mind at this time?

So he had no choice but to say: "What the lord said is very true, he can't let him serve other princes, and the lord loves his talent and can't bear to attack him, so that's the only way!" ”

Cao Cao saw that Cheng Yu said with a bit of helplessness in his tone, but he didn't say much about it, but just smiled at Cheng Yu. It's all in plain sight.

Hanoi County, Huai County. After Ma Chao tried to attack once before, he let the Liangzhou army rest for three days in a row, and it was not until today that he was ready to let the soldiers attack the city again.

Ma Chao learned from the intelligence that the Huaixian County guarded by Wang Yi was not the Hongnong City defended by Zhang Xiu at that time. At that time, Zhang Xiu didn't have much grain and grass in his hands. And his uncle Zhang Ji also knew that he was definitely not his opponent after the worst. So he didn't leave much grain and grass for Zhang Xiu. Therefore, the strategy of consuming grain and grass by himself in the last end did work. And Zhang Xiu can be regarded as able to make a decision immediately, and directly lead the troops to retreat, and then the Hongnong war is over.

However, now this Huaixian County is not the original Hongnong City, because Wang Yi has long known that he is coming, so he has collected a lot of grain and grass from the hands of the people early. Moreover, Wang Yi and his reputation in Hanoi are very good, so that the people are still willing to do this. As a result, the grain and grass hoarded in the city now have no problem supporting the Huai County guards for a month.

At this time, Wang Yi, who was at the head of the city, looked at it and said in his heart that he, Ma Mengqi, was finally ready to let the army attack the city again. In fact, don't look at the grain and grass in Huaixian County now, but it can support January. But Ma Chao let the army rest for a few days, and the happiest person was really his Wangyi. For what is so. Isn't it because of Sima Yi that he went to Luoyang to ask Cao Mengde for reinforcements. In Wang Yi's opinion, there should be no problem with this.

Since Sima Yi left Huaixian to go to Luoyang, although Wang Yi was also worried and anxious, he had to say that he did have more and more confidence in Sima Yi. I don't know why, he thinks that Sima Yi must be able to bring Cao Cao's Yanzhou army to rescue Huaixian. Except for the fact that he Wang Yi has some confidence in Sima Yi at this time, the rest of them, if Ma Chao knows what Wang Yi thinks, then he will tell Wang Yi that this is actually called the sixth sense.

Looking at Huai County in front of him, Ma Chao knew that it would be better for him to have a few words with his soldiers, so he said to the soldiers: "Brothers of the Liangzhou Army, the front is Huai County of Hanoi County, as long as we take this city, then Hanoi is in the hands of our army!" Brothers, rush! ”

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Liangzhou army, with Ma Chao's order, rushed to Huaixian.

And when Wang Yi saw this scene, he was naturally not to be outdone, at least in terms of momentum, he couldn't be weak. So he also shouted a few words to the soldiers at this time, which is nothing more than to repel the invading enemy, defend the homeland and so on, the rules of the rivers and lakes, as if this is the case everywhere to defend the city.

Ma Chao brought troops to Hanoi this time, and one of the major disadvantages of each siege battle was that he did not have a main general to lead the soldiers to attack the city. So this is indeed a little worse, but Ma Chao really didn't think much about it before, and when he thought about it, he was already in Hanoi. However, on the first day, Ma Chao had already asked people to go to Hedong to find Wu Ban, I believe that it has been several days since he came and went, and he should be there soon.

Originally, Ma Chao thought that Wu Ban would be able to arrive today, but he still didn't. However, he didn't arrive, but he couldn't change Ma Chao's ability to let the army attack the city today, so this time Wu Ban didn't catch up, and it could only be next time, that is, tomorrow, if he could get to Huaixian today.

Just like the first temptation, it didn't take long for Ma Chao to let the soldier Mingjin withdraw his troops again. And when he heard Ma Chaoming's gold, Wang Yi at the head of the city, he breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered what he had asked himself when he saw Sima Yi before, the combat power of this Liangzhou army was indeed not comparable to his own guard. Now you can rely on the city as a barrier, but to be honest, you really don't have an absolute advantage-

Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Guan Yu and Xu Huang led the troops on the way to Huai County, Hanoi, and of course, Sima Yi was indispensable among them.

After coming out of Luoyang, Sima Yi saw all the soldiers in Yanzhou, and he knew what Cao Cao's idea was to fight. However, Sima Yi also said this, and he didn't say anything, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction. For him, it's really like that, Huaixian is not broken, and it has nothing to do with him Sima Yi. And Hanoi's worst fall into the hands of his Ma Mengqi has nothing to do with himself.

But I really want to fight with him Ma Mengqi and the Liangzhou Army, this is right, and if there is such an opportunity this time, then you can try a knife. If there's really no chance, that's okay. At least Sima Yi is very clear about this, as long as he doesn't go to him, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, and don't play for him, then it is estimated that sooner or later he will have this opportunity. At least in Sima Yi's eyes, Ma Chao does have strength, and he can go on little by little.

At this time, Cao Ren encountered the most helpless thing in his military career, or it should not be said to be the most helpless. Anyway, in normal times, they march in a hurry, and they march at a faster pace for the sake of war. But this time it was the first time in my life, and I slowed down my march. And the slower the better, but it can't be too obvious. If you don't let people see it, you look like reinforcements.

As a result, before it was a day, Cao Ren had already let the soldiers rest three times in succession. And the soldiers were happy, they said in their hearts, I don't know why General Cao was so sympathetic to the soldiers this time. Of course, General Cao is also very sympathetic to the soldiers, but he has never been like this.

And what made Cao Ren unbearable for him the most was that as soon as he let the army rest, Sima Yi looked at him with a smile, and as soon as the army rested, he was like this. As a result, Cao Ren was the most embarrassed, and he understood that the little trick of daring to love had already been discovered, otherwise could it be so. However, Cao Ren was more puzzled about why Sima Yi never let his own army march quickly, and he never complained about his slow speed, yes, he never said anything, just smiled at himself.

He didn't understand this, Cao Ren didn't understand it very much, he really didn't know what Sima Yi thought. In fact, if you think about it, at least Sima Yi's thoughts are not something that Cao Ren can guess, otherwise he wouldn't be Sima Yi-

On the night when Ma Chao let the army attack the city, Wu Ban finally arrived.

"Lord!"

"Motoo, you've finally arrived! It's been a hard journey, come on, sit down! ”

"No! Thank you, Lord! ”

To say that Ma Chao is indeed very satisfied with Wu Ban's performance along the way, Yan Yan told him in his own letters. People, they have to grow up slowly, and today's Wu Ban is exactly like this.

After Wu Ban sat down, Ma Chao asked, "I don't know what the situation in Hedong is now?" ”

Wu Ban replied: "My lord, under the leadership of General Yan Yan, our army will soon occupy the ...... of Hedong."

Basically, Wu Ban said a lot of things at this time, Ma Chao already knew the Tao, but there were still some details, but he didn't know. After all, Yan Yan couldn't report everything to him, so don't even think about it. But Ma Chao still likes to listen to these little things, trivial things. Because for him, the army is attacking the city, and in this evening, when he is relatively free, it can be regarded as a kind of relaxation to listen to these things. (To be continued......)
