Wei State, Yecheng.

"Liu Bei passed away in Chang'an, I don't know what the princes think about this matter?" On the top of the palace hall, Cao Rui sat on the throne, looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and asked lightly.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Liu Bei died, and then Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Liu Yi quickly supported the crown prince Liu Chan to ascend the throne while organizing Liu Bei's funeral.

With these five people, this time the puppet Han power change is going very smoothly, but there is turmoil after all, just like Cao Pi died last year, Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to attack, so that Cao Wei suddenly lost the land of Guanzhong Heluo, and even folded Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, two members of the Cao family pillar and hundreds of thousands of Wei troops, from the map, Cao Wei's territory was directly cut by one-third, and the most important thing is that the puppet Han had a springboard for the next attack on the Central Plains, and the entire Cao Wei forces were exposed to the puppet Han's troops, so that Cao Rui had to sue for peace with Eastern Wu, In this way, the troops on the southern front were transferred to the Central Plains to guard against the attack of the puppet Han.

But the problem is that it has just experienced a big defeat, and now the morale of the entire Wei army is low, and the puppet Han occupies dangerous places such as Chenggao and Mengjin, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult for the Wei army to fight back now.

Just like after Cao Cao's death, Liu Bei and Eastern Wu both thought about sending troops, but unfortunately Liu Bei had just won Shuzhong not long ago, and experienced two major battles in Xiangyang and Nanyang, which was the time to recuperate, so Liu Bei chose to develop in Shu with peace of mind, and Liu Bei did not move, Sun Quan naturally did not move, in that situation, Cao Wei had to protect the peace.

At present, Liu Bei died, Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, the situation is somewhat similar to Cao Pi's succession, the Wei army has just suffered a defeat, the loss of troops and generals, at this time and then rashly launched an attack, for Cao Wei, it is also a huge load, a bad, if you lose another battle, it is not only a matter of defeating the puppet Han, Jiangdong may also take advantage of the situation to attack, before the puppet Han, to seize the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty!" After Chen Qun was silent for a moment, he stood up, bowed to Cao Rui and said: "If it is common sense, the minister does not recommend sending troops, after all, our army has just experienced a major defeat now, and it is time for a truce to raise troops, so ...... The puppet Han has been growing in strength over the years, if you miss this opportunity, the next time there is a fighter, it may have to board for several years or even more than ten years, what kind of situation was the puppet Han at that time, the old minister did not dare to imagine, it was the old minister who thought that this time it should be killed! ”

The development of the puppet Han over the years has been too rapid, it seems that God is on the other side, from the very beginning of the battle of Chibi, Liu Bei must rely on the Sun family to barely save his life, to the defeat of Chibi, Liu Bei took the opportunity to seize the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangling as the foundation, and in the next few years, he got Shu and Hanzhong, and the two also clashed at that time, but at that time Liu Bei was only relying on the dangerous place in Hanzhong, so he could hold Hanzhong.

But after that, Jiangdong took the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, but even the opponent's commander almost couldn't come back, and Guan Yu took the opportunity to conquer Xiangfan, and Liu Bei waved his army south to fight with Cao Cao in Nanyang.

Although there were many factors in the defeat of Cao's army in that battle, Liu Bei did win at that time.

After that, it was another six years, when Liu Bei reappeared, he was almost pressing the Wei army to fight, if the puppet Han regime was allowed to grow so barbaricly, and the next time he faced it, no one knew whether his side could resist the enemy.

Therefore, Chen Qun suggested that Cao Rui send troops this time, no matter what.

"What does General Sima think?" Cao Rui nodded, but did not say anything, but looked at Sima Yi, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu died in battle, and the four auxiliary ministers left by Cao Pi are now Chen Qun and Sima Yi.

"The minister also agrees with Sikong's words." Sima Yi saluted Cao Rui, thought for a moment and said: "But this time, our army really has little chance of winning, and the minister thinks that we should look for reinforcements." ”

"Oh?" Cao Rui smiled: "I still have reinforcements in Dawei?" ”

"Yes, and quite a few!" Sima Yi nodded and said: "Since the puppet Han occupied Guanzhong, Zhao Yun was ordered to guard Xiliang, and the suppression of the Qiang people was quite fierce, but he could order people to marry the Qiang people with their property and ask them to send troops to contain the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, in addition, the Southern Xiongnu are still vassals to our court, and they can be ordered to notify the Southern Xiongnu to send troops, in addition, as far as the minister knows, the Nanban has been surrendered by Liu Yi, but the Jiaozhou Shijia can be united, please attack Nanzhong, invade Shudi, in addition, there is Jiangdong, when you send someone to lobby, now the pseudo-Han is strong, if Sun Quan does not unite with my Great Wei, Then the day of the fall of my Great Wei is also the time of the fall of Jiangdong, and I can ask Sun Quan to go against the current and attack the land of Jingxiang. ”

As a result, before Cao Wei sent troops, the Han Dynasty would face threats from all sides at the same time.

"Zhongda's clever plan, in this way, our army only needs to break through the tiger prison to recapture the lost territory of Luoyang!" Chen Qun stroked his palms and smiled.

"What Sikong said is good, but the minister thinks that although this four-way army can bring trouble to the puppet Han, the only one who can really play a role may be Dongwu, and our army cannot take Chenggao as the main direction of attack." Sima Yi shook his head and said.

"Why is that?" Chen Qun was puzzled.

"Although Chenggao is new, but after Liu Bei captured the land of Heluo, he quickly strengthened Chenggao and Yique Pass, Chenggao terrain is dangerous, and the pseudo-Han has the advantage of armor, our army can break through, and it is not able to advance again, the minister thinks that when a partial division feints to attack Chenggao, the main force of our army will enter Runan, take advantage of the situation to attack Nanyang, cut off the connection between Heluo and Jingzhou, then you can unite with Dongwu and go down to Jingzhou together!"

Although the Han army runs through the north and south, but the connection between Heluo and Nanyang is not close, whether it is from Yingchuan or from Nanyang, the Han army has no danger to defend, only after arriving in Ye County, there is the Great Wall that Liu Yi built in Nanyang, but even so, the area of the Great Wall is too wide, compared to the terrain of Chenggao, Nanyang is undoubtedly easier to attack, not to mention that if Jiangdong can be persuaded to send troops, it is easier to break through the entire Jingzhou, which is equivalent to breaking off a hand of the puppet Han.

"What Zhong Da said is good." Chen Qun nodded, looked at Cao Rui and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhongda's plan is quite feasible. ”

Cao Rui nodded, Sima Yi's strategy, he listened to it well, and looked at the civil and military officials: "Do you have anything to add?" ”

The two bigwigs have reached a consensus, and Sima Yi's strategy sounds quite powerful, many people think for a while, and they really can't think of a more subtle strategy than Sima Yi, and they all agree at the moment.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Shuang stepped out of the queue and bowed to Cao Rui and said, "General Sima's plan is naturally feasible, but it will take a lot of time to contact all parties, I don't know when General Sima is going to move troops?" ”

The Huns, the Qiang, the Eastern Wu, and the Shijia, in this world, it is not easy to coordinate with the north and the south.

"The partial division that went to Chenggao immediately sent troops to deter the hypocrites." Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "But if all parties want to send troops, I am afraid that it will take until the summer and autumn, and the main force of our army can secretly assemble in Runan and Yingchuan during this period. ”

Just like when Liu Bei's five-way soldiers and horses sent troops from all directions, Cao Wei was in a mess, the defeat of Guanzhong, although the main reason was that the strength of the two sides was too different, and the Han army was strong, Liu Bei's full-faced, unclear division of the main and secondary tactics also played an important role, and when Cao Zhen completely gathered his troops, the general trend had been achieved.

"Then who can lead the troops?" Cao Shuang looked at Sima Yi and said.

Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "General Xu Huang and Xu Gongming are the pillars of the country, and his prestige is great enough, but he can lead the troops to Chenggao and station, and he can also make the puppet Han think that it is the main force." ”

"General Komeito only leads partial divisions?" Cao Rui looked at Sima Yi suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because General Komeito's prestige is too strong that he can attract the attention of the puppet Han and make it more convenient for the main force of our army to act." Sima Yi bowed and said.

"Then who should be the commander of this main force?" Cao Rui frowned and said, there are a lot of talents in Wei now, but most of them are small talents, and only Xu Huang is left who can really take charge of himself, and the others all died on the battlefield in Guanzhong.

"The minister thinks that the general of Wuwei, Cao Shuang, is cautious and serious, proficient in the art of war, and is the son of the late general Cao Zhen, so he can be entrusted with important tasks!" Sima Yi bowed and said.

Cao Shuang was stunned, he didn't expect Sima Yi to recommend him.

"This ......" Cao Rui was a little hesitant when he heard this, Cao Shuang is a good talent in the clan, but he doesn't have much experience in personally leading troops to fight, let alone this kind of big battle of hundreds of thousands of people.

But this time, to deal with the Han army, even if Jingzhou is not the main force of the Han army, it is necessary to dispatch 100,000 troops, 100,000 troops, in the hands of others, it is really a little uneasy, especially after the defeat of Guanzhong, 100,000 troops are really a big number, no matter the prestige or ability in the clan, it seems that only Cao Shuang can do it.

But let Cao Shuang lead the troops, Cao Rui was a little uneasy after all, looked at Sima Yi, Cao Rui suddenly smiled and said: "It's okay, but Brother Zhao's experience is still shallow after all, he is alone, I don't feel at ease, so I ask General Sima to deign to join the army?" ”

Sima Yi can become the only one who retreats from the Luoyang battlefield, and he must have the ability, and with him to help Cao Shuang make suggestions, Cao Rui can also be more assured.

"Obey the order!" Sima Yi bowed deeply, this is the best result, if Sima Yi leads the troops, Cao Rui will definitely be suspicious and precautionary, but if Cao Shuang is in command and Sima Yi assists, Cao Rui can rest assured, the current situation really can't withstand infighting, which is why Sima Yi took the initiative to ask Cao Shuang to be the commander.

In this way, all the problems have been solved, I only hope that this time, we can successfully take Jingzhou, which is not only to seize the population and land of the Han Dynasty, but more importantly, this is the first foundation of Liu Bei that year, and the construction also started here, there must be a lot of documents and even complete Tiangong Kaiwu, if you can get these, it will be of great significance to the Great Wei.
