Chapter 341: Xi Zhicai vs Sima Yi (The Game of Life and Death)
"The military advisor is really calculating, first let Cao Jun not see His Majesty, lure Cao Jun to come to investigate, and finally kill him, so that they will not expose His Majesty when they see him."
After Gan Ning collected his troops and returned to the camp, he looked at Xi Zhicai and said with a smile.
At first, he wondered why he didn't use this stand-in with him during the day.
"Although this person has the appearance of His Majesty because of his disguise, he does not have the momentum of His Majesty, if he talks to Cao Cao, he will definitely be easy to expose, and we can't let any accidents happen."
Xi Zhicai looked at Gan Ning and nodded with a smile and said, this time he can't afford to lose, so he has to be the most perfect.
"Then the next step, I don't know what the military advisor's plan is?" Then Gan Ning looked at Xi Zhicai and asked.
Now that Liu Wei has set off to take Yuzhou, stabilizing the camp and dragging Cao Jun has become their most important goal.
Only when this goal was achieved and Liu Wei successfully took Yuzhou did they achieve this victory.
And stabilizing Cao Jun from suspicion has become the most critical part of this.
"I have asked Han Sheng to transport grain everywhere in the form of suspicious soldiers, if Sima Yi wants to attack the grain and grass, he must find out the specific whereabouts of the grain and grass."
"In this way, the center of gravity of Cao's army will naturally shift, because they believe that as long as these grains and grass are burned, our army will be powerless to resist."
Xi Zhicai looked at Gan Ning and began to analyze, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to use grain and grass as bait this time.
As long as Sima Yi is contained, then the rest of Cao's army will not be afraid.
"But isn't the grain and grass that General Huang has transported..."
"That's just for you and me." Before Gan Ning finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xi Zhicai.
Gan Ning glanced at Xi Zhicai, and nodded after reacting.
He knew what Xi Zhicai had paid for this plan, so it was understandable that Xi Zhicai was so careful.
In the next few days, Xi Zhicai did not attack Cao's army as before.
On the contrary, everything turned around, and Cao Jun took the initiative to launch several attacks, but in the end, they were naturally repulsed.
"Strategist, this Cao Jun has been making such a small fight these days, could it be that they have some intentions?"
Seeing Cao Jun retreat again, Gan Ning asked puzzled.
"Attempt?" Xi Zhicai smiled, "Sima Yi just wants to take a second look, this majesty beside us." ”
"When they are sure that His Majesty is still there, these Cao Jun will die."
Sima Yi's caution this time made Xi Zhicai a little surprised, but now that he came prepared this time, no matter how many times Sima Yi came to try, he saw the same face.
In the camp of the Cao army, when the Cao army returned to the camp, Sima Yi once again got the same answer.
It seems that he is really too cautious, and he thought that this drama could have some different means, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.
"Li Dian, Yu Ban, I instructed the two of you to investigate how the Han army's grain and grass are doing?" Sima Yi then looked at Li Dian and Yu Ban and asked.
"Hui Junshi, we didn't find anything in Liyang, or the pass near Liyang."
"According to the report from the spies, the amount of grain and grass transported from Liyang to various places is the same, and not only that, but the ruts on the road are also the same." Li Dian added a sentence and continued.
"How could this be?" After Sima Yi heard Li Dian's words, he was also a little puzzled.
Could it be that Xi Zhicai is not using suspicious tactics to conceal his eyes, but is really hiding these grains and grasses everywhere evenly?
But if this is the case, it will certainly increase the number of food keepers, and if there is a loss, this estimate should not be underestimated.
No, no, Xi Zhicai won't be so stupid, he won't not understand this truth.
Of these four places, there must be only one place where the Han army's grain and grass are really hidden.
Otherwise, if the grain is stored in four places, no matter which place where the grain is hidden, the Han army will lose most of the grain and grass.
"You continue to investigate, and at the same time, I am asking the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Hong to assist you, each leading 3,000 men and horses, to attack these four places where grain is hidden, and see how the Han army reacts."
After a while, Sima Yi looked at Li Dian and Yu Ban and ordered.
Now that the plan to burn the grain and grass this time was put forward by himself, Cao Cao handed over the matter to himself, so naturally he could not afford to lose.
Only by borrowing Cao Cao's power to expand his power can he achieve his own goals.
The next day, Xi Zhicai received the news that Cao's army was attacking the place where the grain was hidden.
"It seems that this Sima Yi can't help it." After receiving the news, Xi Zhicai looked at Gan Ning and said with a smile.
"What should we do next?"
"Naturally, it's saved, Xingba, you lead the army to Wuyang, and there are Hansheng in several other places." Xi Zhicai looked at Gan Ning and said with a smile.
After Gan Ning answered, he directly led people out of the big tent.
"Ahem." After Gan Ning left, Xi Zhi couldn't help coughing again.
His face became even paler, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood couldn't help but spit out.
Looking at the blood on the ground, Xi Zhicai twitched the corners of his mouth, it seems that his time is really running out this time.
He was seriously injured in Liaodong before, and his life hung by a thread, although he was rescued, he injured his body, and this time he was injured by Sima Yi, and his body was even weaker.
However, before that, I must end this battle of Guandu, so that His Majesty can successfully take this Yuzhou, in order to repay this kindness.
So I can't let anyone know my current situation, otherwise even Gan Ning won't continue to help him.
Two days later, in Cao Jun's big tent, Cao Ren and others knelt in the big tent to ask Cao Cao for their guilt.
"Lord, it's all blame for the incompetence of the general, not only defeated by the Han army, but also failed to complete the task and failed to find out the truth and truth."
Li Dian and Yu Ban also looked at Cao Cao and spoke.
Sima Yi glanced at them, but he was not surprised.
When Cao Cao looked around at everyone, he happened to see Sima Yi's expression, and then spoke.
"Zhongda, I am handing over this matter to you, what do you think of this matter?"
"This Huang Zhong and Gan Ning are not ordinary people, and it is not surprising that this attack failed to succeed, and now I have the answer."
Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao and said very confidently.
"How do you know that this has not been discovered?" Cheng Yu looked at Sima Yi very puzzled and said.
This time, Cao Ren and the others didn't bring back any useful news, how dare Sima Yi say that he had already gotten what he wanted.
"Fiction and reality, reality and fiction, some things are more than just to be seen with the eyes." Sima Yi glanced at Cheng Yu with a smile and said.
"Xi Zhicai, send people to guard these four places strictly, not because he is afraid that we will find grain and grass, and let people guard it, on the contrary, there is no grain and grass in these places, so he will be afraid that we will know."
Sima Yi looked at everyone and said, besides, he had also checked around, and there was nothing missing.
This is simply impossible, in the process of loading and unloading grain and grass, even if you are careful, there will be, but there are no these places.
Naturally, this means that no grain or grass has ever been delivered to these places.
It was not grain and grass that was escorted by Xi Zhi from Liyang, and because of this, the weight could be controlled to be consistent, and the depth of the marks left by the wheels was the same.
"How so? The grain and grass of these tens of thousands of troops, where can he transport them to after doing this, the cooking smoke of the Han army camp has increased unabated in the past few days, which shows that the grain and grass have been sufficient. ”
After listening to Sima Yi's words, Cheng Yu began to feel a little incredible, and said in disbelief.
Sima Yi glanced at Cheng Yu, "Since this is the case, then it means that the grain and grass have arrived in the Han army camp." ”
Now that you know where the grain and grass are, you naturally have a way to do it next.
When Sima Yi was laying out the plan to everyone, Gan Ning also sent someone to deliver the letter to Xi Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai was not surprised after reading the letter, and directly burned the letter.
"Tell the two generals, Hansheng and Xingba, that I am sending six thousand men and horses over, and they only need to hold on."
"But Strategist, in this case, we'll..."
"Let you go, you will go, why do you need to say more?" Xi Zhicai said coldly.
When the man saw this, he turned and left the tent.
Sima Yi, you've got the news you want to get, so come on.
