Chapter 519: The Sorrowful Cao Pi
When Xu Tian was in full swing of preparations, the Wei army, which was far away on the front line in Hanzhong, was in a dilemma at the moment.
Liu Bei's sudden return to the defense caught Cao Pi off guard.
He really didn't expect that this Sun Quan would be so useless.
Not even a day's worth of time dragged on.
In the end, I let others calculate.
Now Koto is probably in a mess.
Without foreign aid, the Wei army now has only one way to go, and that is to withdraw all.
But this idea was categorically rejected by Sima Yi.
He tried his best to persuade Cao Pi, and he must not retreat at this time.
As long as they retreat, it will really be difficult to recover.
You must know that Wei did not approve of this battle in the first place.
Once you retreat on your own, it is not a failure.
It can also create an unmanageable situation.
At that point, it's not just a matter of military affairs.
At this moment, Cao Pi is sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army.
His face was very ugly, with a faint hint of sickly ruddy.
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
Looking at the military newspaper in his hand, Cao Pi couldn't help but cough again.
Since Liu Bei returned to Yizhou, they have been defeated one after another.
It is a miracle that he has not failed until now.
At this time, the soldiers outside the tent walked in and knelt down on one knee in front of Cao Pi.
"Your Majesty, General Sima Yi is here!"
"Announce it..."
As Cao Pi spoke, he coughed violently again.
Not long after the soldiers went out, Sima Yi walked in with a sad face.
"The last general, Sima Yi, meet Your Majesty!" Sima Yi also knelt in front of Cao Pi.
"Okay..."Cao Pi put aside the battle report in his hand, and then waved his hand: "There is no one else here, there is no need for this set between you and me!" ”
"You know the current situation, according to the intelligence in the rear, now Xu Tian has returned to Chang'an with people!
If it drags on like this, Liu Bei and Xu Tian will unite.
At that point, we're really at a dead end! ”
Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi very seriously, although he understood very well that there must be a last resort reason why the other party did not let him retreat.
But now the reason doesn't matter, if they stay any longer, I'm afraid they won't be able to go back.
"Your Majesty's worries, the minister understands very well..."Sima Yi sighed lightly and looked at the pale Cao Pi respectfully:
"But now is definitely not a good time, it is very likely that the other side is waiting for us to retreat!
Now the worst outcome is that Liu Bei and Xu Tian join forces.
But this is also our chance! ”
Hearing this, Cao Pi seemed to have strength all of a sudden.
He sat up straight with his right hand: "What chance?" ”
Cao Pi's action was too big, and the blanket that had originally covered him fell off, and Sima Yi hurriedly put it on for him again when he saw this.
"Your Majesty, please think about it, who is this Liu Bei?
Will he be able to tolerate the man who catches him three times and twice, and has a chance of a major victory?
If Xu Tian's power grows greater, the threat to him will also increase.
It is impossible for Liu Bei not to understand this truth.
Therefore, His Majesty's worries can be dispelled.
In this battle, it seems that we are in a dead end.
But this is also a new opportunity for us! ”
After hearing these words, Cao Pi fell into deep thought.
Sima Yi is right, this Liu Bei has been arrested twice by Xu Tian.
Even if it's a small citizen, I'm afraid I won't let it go so easily.
What's more, he is Liu Bei!
Just use a little bit of tactics in their midst.
It won't be long before they start killing each other.
When that time comes, will you still be afraid that you won't have a chance?
"This Xu Tian has always liked to use tricks, so let's give him one this time!"
Cao Pi smiled slightly, looking very proud, but he was too relaxed, and he coughed violently again.
"Your Majesty, your body..."Sima Yi hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Cao Pi with concern.
He also knew in his heart that Cao Pi might not last long now.
There are also many people waiting for him to die, whether it is Liu Bei, Xu Tian, or even Sun Quan, who is far away in Jiangdong.
At this moment, Sima Yi suddenly felt some sympathy for Cao Pi.
A person who lives in this world, but countless people want him to die quickly, such a person is really sad.
The two discussed for a long time, and then they didn't speak again, and Sima Yi was also about to leave, he knew that the current Cao Pi must want to stay by himself.
Just as Sima Yi was about to turn around and leave, a soldier suddenly walked in outside the tent.
He first saluted Sima Yi, and then knelt in front of Cao Pi.
"Your Majesty, the King of Chu in Chang'an has sent a secret letter..."
Sima Yi, who was about to leave, paused, and instantly turned around and returned to the tent.
"What did you say?"
After glancing at Cao Pi, Sima Yi took the letter from the soldier's hand.
"Let's take a look..."
After getting Cao Pi's consent, Sima Yi opened the letter.
However, after only one glance, his face turned gloomy, until he almost tore it apart directly.
Sima Yi's every move was watched by Cao Pi.
"What's going on?" Cao Pi frowned.
"This...."Sima Yi looked a little hesitant, he didn't know whether to give this letter to Cao Pi or not.
But he knew that as long as the other party saw it, he would definitely be furious.
In his current situation, he can't be so stimulated.
The person who wrote this letter had a vicious intention.
"Your Majesty, it's better not to look at it..."After a long time, Sima Yi still gritted his teeth and said.
He regretted it a little now, he should have left just now.
Now, he didn't know what he was supposed to do.
"Bring it!"
It's a pity that people have a problem, the more others don't let them do, the more they want to do it.
Even if many times, others have told you very seriously, don't go any further, there is a big pit ahead, but there are very few people who can stop.
Sima Yi knew that this would be the result, hesitated for a moment, and still handed the secret letter in his hand to Cao Pi.
Seeing Sima Yi's face becoming more and more ugly, Cao Pi became more and more curious about what was written in it.
After receiving the secret letter, Cao Pi also only glanced at it, and his face changed drastically.
There is a sentence on the secret letter; "I hope Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body, and personally escort the grain and grass for you in Xia Xu Tian, and raise a glass to drink at that time!"
It was this simple sentence that made Cao Pi not speak for a long time.
Sima Yi sighed secretly, and quickly pulled the soldier who was a little dazed and walked out.
The content of the other party's letter actually means the same thing, your food and grass have been cut off...
Just as Sima Yi was about to walk out with the soldier, Cao Pi, who had been silent, suddenly turned red.
"Poof...".
He suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then slowly fell to the cold ground....
