When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes suddenly shot out two rays of fine light, looking at Sima Yi. Sima Yi was not afraid, his face was determined, and he was calm. Guo Jia's expression changed, and he shouted.

"Although Zhuge Kongming's intelligence is high, there are many talents in the Western Tang Dynasty, and Xi Zhicai and Xu Yuanzhi all have the wisdom of heaven and earth. Huang Hansheng, Zhang Wenyuan, and Xu Gongming are not ordinary people!! The stakes are high, and it is advisable to take a long-term view. ”

Cao Cao listened, and then turned his eyes to look at Jia Xu. Jia Xu's face was calm, and he walked out slowly, and said with his hand.

"The key to this is not the Western Tang Dynasty, nor the Shu Han, but Ma Mengqi. If Ma Mengqi is defeated by Wen Bufan, Wen Bufan can be sent to the rescue with reinforcements. Although Zhuge Kongming's strategy is high, how can Shu Han not have many troops now. At that time, in order to protect his country and prevent our Great Wei from taking advantage of the situation, Zhuge Kongming will definitely save his troops and withdraw Xichuan. ”

"Oh? According to Wenhe, if Ma Mengqi is defeated, Zhuge Kongming will also be defeated!? ”

"It has always been unpredictable to march and fight, although Zhuge Kongming has a peerless talent, but after all, the Western Tang Dynasty occupies the general trend, although he is not ten percent sure, but he is not far from seven or eight."

Jia Xu said calmly and slowly. Cao Cao's expression froze, his eyes shimmered, and then asked.

"What should I do now?"

"The so-called opportunity must not be lost, and it will never come again. His Majesty can first recruit soldiers and horses, just in case, but then teach people to go to the front line to find out the Xiliang war report. If Ma Mengqi can still resist Wen Bufan's army for several months. His Majesty can send troops with great momentum, and then slowly transfer soldiers and horses from Jingzhou. ”

Jia Xu's eyes were deep, and his words fell, right in what Cao Cao thought in his heart. Cao Cao bowed slightly, and then followed Jia Xu's words, while reorganizing the army for battle, while teaching the fine work to go to the Xiliang area to investigate. Wei Guo's meticulous works are all over the world, and there are places to contact and exchange news, so the news is transmitted very quickly.

Ten days later, he made a detailed report, saying that Ma Mengqi had been killed by Zhao Yun, the Western Tang Dynasty Shenlong. At this time, the king of the Western Tang Dynasty was extraordinary, and he was resting his troops and horses in Liangzhou, preparing to return to Yongzhou. At the same time, the meticulous work was reported again, and the Shu soldiers attacked Chen Cang, and Chen Cang was in danger. As a result, the ministers quarreled endlessly. Each has its own opinions, and some people see that Chen Cang is difficult to protect, and persuade Cao Cao to leave the army as soon as possible. Someone saw that Xi ** was about to return to help, and persuaded Cao Cao to stay still.

Cao Cao sat on top of the hall, his eyes narrowed, and he watched coldly at the quarrel between the ministers. Suddenly, Cao Cao snorted coldly, and if Tianwei was in power, the ministers all tightened their faces and stopped the quarrel. Cao Cao Pingsu valued Guo Jia the most, and every time he asked him what he saw, there was no exception here, and he said to Guo Jia.

Although Ma Mengqi was killed, Chen Cang would also be broken by the Shu soldiers. According to the filial piety, what should I do!? ”

"Now Your Majesty is in the Yangtze River, stationing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and training soldiers and horses for a long time. The armament of the ships was all gathered. The so-called preparedness. His Majesty is in the great cause of Wu Wu, and he is well prepared, and he should act quickly. On the contrary, if you march to the Western Tang Dynasty, you will be hasty, and there will be many variables. Your Majesty can not give up the near and far, when it is advisable to enter Jingzhou as soon as possible, and join forces to start the great cause of Wu!! ”

Guo Jia's eyes were as bright as stars, shining brightly. When Cao Cao heard this, he was silent, and then looked at Jia Xu and asked.

"What should I do with the opinion of Wen He?"

"What Marquis Zhen said is extremely true. Your Majesty's war against Soochow is really the trend of the times, and it is foolproof! ”

Jia Xu said intently, Cao Cao listened, and he didn't see joy or anger, he groaned for a while, but he looked at Sima Yi. Sima Yi's expression was shocked, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Cao Cao. Cao Cao knew that he was acting, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly called.

"Where is Sima Zhongda!?"

Cao Cao's voice was like thunder, if it was brilliant and powerful, Sima Yi was startled, suddenly attended, stumbled suddenly, his jaw hit the ground, and blood flowed out immediately, but Sima Yi didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly kowtowed.

"Sima Zhongda is here!"

Seeing Sima Yi so out of shape, the bureaucrats secretly made fun of him. Cao Cao frowned when he saw Sima Yi so embarrassed, but he thought in his heart.

"Hmph. Treacherous villain. ”

Cao Cao's face showed displeasure, so he asked Sima Yi.

"You persuaded me to invade Xitang before, why don't you say anything now?"

When Sima Yi heard this, he first bowed to the ground and said respectfully.

"The two Ming Princes are both good words, and a certain talent is meager, how dare they speak out?"

Cao Cao made a move, but he became interested, staring at Sima Yi and said.

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say that. Good or bad, I have my own measure. “

"Whoa!"

Sima Yi responded, then his expression froze, and he said in a deep voice.

"As far as I can see. Zhuge Kongming has always been knowledgeable and appointed, how can he not see that Ma Mengqi is not an extraordinary opponent. And the reason why he sent troops to Xiliang was actually intended to contain most of Wen Bufan's troops and horses, so that he could take advantage of it. Previously, Zhuge Kongming had attacked Nanzheng, but he attacked Chen Cang on a large scale. The meaning is not this, if a certain is correct, it is really a cover, secretly set a surprise soldier, turn away from the valley, out of Qishan, and attack Chang'an! In this way, when the people of Yongzhou thought that the Shu soldiers were going to send troops from Chencang, they must have allocated a large number of reinforcements, Chang'an was empty, Zhuge Kongming was desperate, and the soldiers were all in a state of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and it was not impossible to break through Chang'an. If Chang'an is lost, the Western Tang Dynasty will be in chaos, and Zhang Fei will lead his troops to break through Chencang.

The Western Tang Dynasty took care of one thing and lost the other, and the momentum was like a landslide. Therefore, according to a certain opinion, His Majesty can allocate troops and horses, first to Hanoi, Hedong secretly deploy troops and horses, once Chang'an really defends, immediately with the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. The Western Tang Dynasty was strong, and it was really a big trouble for my Great Wei. If our Great Wei can annihilate the Western Tang Dynasty, even if Shu and Wu join forces, it will be difficult to resist the surging momentum of our Great Wei. In a few years, the world will be unified!! ”

Sima Yi's eyes shone brightly, as if he had changed a person, this analysis can be described as exquisite, stunning to the four. Even Jia Xu and Guo Jia, the two heroes of the world, couldn't help but show horror. Cao Cao's pair of fine eyes as if he could swallow the sky burst out two rays of light in an instant, and quickly cast glances at Guo Jia and Jia Xu respectively. Guo Jia was silent. Jia Xu secretly bowed his head. At this time, Guo Jia's eyes suddenly lit up and asked Sima Yi.

"How did Zhong Da know that Zhuge Kongming would definitely come out of Qishan with surprise troops!?"

"The Western Tang Dynasty and Shu Han have been fighting for nearly several years, the Western Tang Dynasty is strong, the soldiers are strong and the food is sufficient, and the Shu Han has been preserved to this day, which is the blessing of God. Now there are not many troops in Shu Han, and Ma Mengqi died and lost the reinforcements of the Southern Barbarians. If Wen Bufan's reinforcements arrive, they will inevitably counterattack with overwhelming momentum. Forced by the times, Zhuge Kongming had to take a dangerous move and fight.

What's more, Zhuge Kongming predicted that if Chang'an was lost and the Western Tang Dynasty was in chaos, His Majesty would never miss this great opportunity and would definitely send troops in. Immediately Zhuge Kongming can come to a Jedi counterattack, take advantage of the chaos to take the land of Xiliang, Dongchuan, and Yongzhou, if it is as expected, Shu will not only avoid the disaster of destroying the country, but will be able to breathe, and the national strength will increase. Although this move is dangerous, it has a lot of benefits, how can Zhuge Kongming fight without fighting to the death? ”

Sima Yi talked eloquently, as if exuding a light of wisdom, and all the civil and military officials in the hall were stunned and shocked. Guo Jia's face also changed, and he suddenly sighed.

"Zhongda's intelligence is high, like the light of the bright moon. Harvest is not as good as it. ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he panicked, and hurriedly bowed.

"Zhenhou is a ghost talent in the world, and his wisdom is unparalleled in the world, and he dares to compare with Zhenhou. It's really a torment. ”

Sima Yi's face was full of panic, how could he have the demeanor of being a good strategist. His Royal Highness's military officials saw it, and they laughed secretly, and they had already put Sima Yi's majesty just now out of their minds. However, Cao Cao was not like this, he had a pair of fine eyes, squinting like a thin line, sharp and majestic, staring at Sima Yi tightly. The more Sima Yi is inconspicuous, the more Cao Cao is more prepared for him. However, at present, Sima Yi is not at fault, and he is also loyal. Cao Cao slowly withdrew his gaze, and suddenly covered his palms and smiled.

"Haha. Chung Tat should not be presumptuous. Filial piety never speaks. I have benefited a lot from listening to your good words, so I will do what you say! ”

Cao Cao suddenly made a decision, and His Royal Highness and the ministers did not react for a while. Therefore, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Jaw to go to the boundary between Hanoi and Hedong to secretly mobilize troops and horses, and on the other hand, he taught people to go to Yongzhou to investigate.

Since Cao Cao ascended the throne, reformed and established a new one, and requisitioned people from poor families on a large scale, all localities vigorously implemented the policy of tuntian, and allocated land according to population. The Central Plains has a new atmosphere and is thriving. The people of the Central Plains seem to have regarded Cao Cao as an emperor for a long time, and since Cao Cao ascended the throne, the people not only did not have grievances, but cheered. After all, for the people of the Central Plains, in the past few decades, the Han dynasty has been corrupt and incompetent, bringing endless disasters and wars. What Cao Cao brought was a country that could allow people in the world to live and work in peace and contentment, without the scourge of famine and war. Cao Cao has won the popularity of the people, and now he has ascended the throne as emperor and replaced the Han family, which is really a matter of course.

Let's say that Queen Bian had four sons, namely Pi, Zhang, Zhi, and Xiong. Cao Cao has always been preferred, and the third son, Cao Zhi. But said this Cao Zhi

He is extremely intelligent, has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and is good at writing. Cao Cao had the heart to let Cao Zhi take over the throne one day. But Cao Pi is decisive, quick to learn, and acts in the style of Cao Cao, and is the son of Queen Bian. Cao Cao also loved him very much. Therefore, Cao Cao was very distressed about the inheritance. One day, Cao Cao wanted to test the talents of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, so as not to be detected by the two sons and oppose each other, but he taught Cao Zhang and Cao Xiong to come together. When the four sons arrived, Cao Cao ordered the four to go out of the city gate, but secretly ordered the doorman to pay the doorman and ordered him not to let him go.

The four sons were ordered to go together, and said that Cao Pi went to the north gate first, but the doorman blocked him, Cao Pi secretly thought that this must be his father and the king had informed him earlier, and he deliberately did so. Cao Pi thought to himself that Cao Cao had always hated those who rebelled and did not obey the law, so he retired and returned. Then Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong came to the east gate and the west gate respectively, and the doorkeepers also stopped them. Cao Xiong has always been inflexible, so he had to retreat. The same is true for Cao Zhi. Only Cao Zhang rushed to the south gate, but the doorman stopped him. Cao Zhang's eyes widened, and if there was a tiger's might, he shouted loudly.

"I am on the orders of the king, who dares to stop it!! Kill it now!! ”

When the doorman heard this, although he was shocked, he did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's previous orders and taught the sergeant to intercept him. Cao Zhang's horse rushed suddenly, snatched two spears with both hands, swept left and right, and there was a conflict, which made people turn over on their backs. Cao Zhang burst in, glared at the tiger, and roared angrily.

"I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to open the door quickly!!"

When the soldiers on the left and right heard this, they all changed color and quickly opened the city gate. Cao Zhang rode out. However, it was said that Cao Cao was waiting for the return of the officials in the palace, and heard that Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong had all returned. Only Cao Zhang made a big fuss and broke out. When Cao Cao heard this, he was surprised and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha!! But I forgot about this yellow beard!! ”

So Cao Cao also had a desire to establish Cao Zhang, so Cao Cao summoned Cao Zhang every day to ask about military and statecraft matters. Cao Zhang replied one by one, if there was anything wrong, Cao Cao carefully taught. However, Cao Zhang sometimes refused to give an inch on some things and argued with Cao Cao. The father and son would make a big noise from time to time, and then soon after, Cao Cao was heard laughing loudly. Cao Pi and Cao Zhi heard that Cao Zhang had often been summoned to the palace by Cao Cao recently, and they were secretly sent in to investigate, and when they heard Cao Cao's daily teachings, they were both anxious.

One day, Cao Zhang just came out of the palace and met Cao Pi. Cao Pi pulled Cao Zhang to the side and asked Shen Se.

"Does Brother Zhang have the heart to compete with his brother for the throne?"

When Cao Zhang heard this, his face changed greatly, and he shook his head.

"Why did Brother Wang say this!? How can Brother Wang not know what is his brother's character? ”

Cao Pi saw that Cao Zhang was not false, so he was at ease, so he invited Cao Zhang to have a banquet in the mansion. The next day, Cao Zhang met his brother Cao Zhi again. Cao Zhi also came to try. Cao Zhang's mind was quick, and he could see Cao Zhi's intention at a glance, and he also told him that he had no intention of competing for the throne. Cao Zhi was overjoyed, and after that, he often invited Cao Zhang to talk about it, and he kept talking all night. Cao Pi also had the heart to tie up with Cao Zhang, and often invited Cao Zhang to drink banquets. Cao Zhang was extremely unhappy about this matter, but he was not good at rejecting the two of them openly, and he was depressed all day long.

One day, Cao Cao saw Cao Zhang's brows furrowed, and he was very depressed, so he asked. Cao Zhang then told Cao Pi and Cao Zhi about it. When Cao Cao heard this, his face suddenly changed, his eyes lit up, and he said to Cao Zhang.

"You are the heir of my knees, and if one day, the great task of the country is entrusted to you, it is not impossible!"

When Cao Zhang heard this, his expression changed greatly, and he knelt down with Cao Cao and said.

"Father, never!! If this is the case, there will be great calamity for the country!! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his face suddenly turned dark, his face was full of displeasure, and he asked in a cold voice.

"What do you say Ziwen said about this!?"

"Father, has he forgotten the Yuan clan of Hebei in the past, and the heirs are fighting each other, resulting in the disaster of extermination!? Brother Wang Cao Pi is generous and respectful, and can continue the great cause.
