Sima Yi and Yuan Xi are of the same age, although they have a city government, they are also young and vigorous, so they naturally refuse to admit defeat, seeing that Yuan Xi is leaving, they hurriedly got up and stepped forward to stop them: "The general's slingshot skills are better than mine, and I am convinced, but it is not necessarily a matter of vision, I think the general is in danger with himself, it is extremely unwise, and General Yuan has not reminded the general of the lesson of He Jin back then?" As Yuan Xi expected, Sima Yi was still young and didn't have so much experience, so he took the bait and said with a smile: "I said that my vision is better than yours, you still don't believe it, I dare to come in to bet that Zhongda is a righteous gentleman." ”

Sima Yi was speechless for a moment, can I say that I am not? Just as Sima Yi hesitated, he only heard Yuan Xi's tone change, and then said: "Of course, I am not He Jin, but Changshan Zhao Zilong came with me, and the head of the enemy general in the thousands of troops and horses is like probing and taking things, and he studied under the emperor Wang Yue, swordsmanship is rare in the world, there are thousands of troops and horses outside the door, Zhong Da still thinks that I am in danger?" Of course, for the sake of a peerless prodigy, I felt compelled to take this risk. ”

Hearing that Yuan Xi is willing to take risks for himself, although this is a thrill or not, who can not guarantee an accident! Sima Yi was also very moved, and hurriedly thanked: "Yi is just a scholar, although he is small and talented, how can he let the general take risks?" Yuan Xi saw that although Sima Yi was polite, his attitude towards himself had changed, and when he saw that it was almost over, he said directly: "Since this is the case, then you can show that you are worthy of the value of the general's risk." ”

In order to prove that his vision is not bad, Sima Yi can also be polite, and confidently analyzed: "The Han family is declining, the heroes are rising, and the general trend of the world is in the north." The general attacked Xudu with an army of 500,000 this time, although many people are not optimistic about Cao Cao, but I feel that the soldiers are expensive, not more, I am afraid that this time the general will only work the people and lose money, and waste the national strength of the north. The foreigners around the north peep around, and if they are not careful, I am afraid that it will be the common people in the north who will suffer, which is also the reason why I am worried about the world. ”

Sima Yi's vision is not bad, a little different, and he saw that Yuan Shao could not defeat Cao Cao even if he could take advantage, and once the time dragged on for a long time, he would be taken advantage of by foreigners. This is also what Yuan Xi can't tolerate the most, if it weren't for the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Xi would have gone to exterminate the foreign tribes a long time ago, and he was far more interested in fighting the foreign races than the Han family. Yuan Xi was also respectful of Sima Yi's attitude, and praised: "Zhongda's vision is also unique enough, Cao Cao is indeed not something that can be eliminated in a short time, so I don't know what Zhongda taught me?" ”

After getting Yuan Xi's affirmation, Sima Yi also regained his self-confidence and continued to analyze: "If I am a general, I should first consider how to inherit the power of the northern general, or grasp the military power, this is also the biggest problem for us who are not the eldest son, and this problem also bothers the general, right?" Yuan Xi nodded, looked at Sima Yi and said seriously: "Sooner or later, the foreign race will be exterminated, and I am not afraid of chasing the Central Plains, but this brother is fighting, I really can't do it!" Suddenly, Yuan Xi figured it out, and said respectfully to Sima Yi: "Since Zhongda said so, it seems that there is a way to teach me." ”

Sima Yi was secretly proud, now it's my turn to play. Sima Yi has long been familiar with the general trend of the world, and Yuan Xi's biggest difficulty is how to get the four northern states. Sima Yi said the strategy he had thought of: "There are no more than three situations for who will inherit the position of general. The best and most likely situation is that the general inherits the position of the general, even if the eldest prince is not satisfied, but because of the general's prestige, he does not dare to openly oppose it, and he can only stay in Qingzhou, and the general has Youzhou, Jizhou and Merge State, recuperate and continue to develop. When the Jiangdong forces, Jingzhou forces, Xiliang forces and the Central Plains forces are holding each other, the general can lead his troops to sweep away the foreign forces in the north and prevent future troubles. When the north is pacified, with the ability of a general, the Central Plains will be chased and the world will be just around the corner. “

Yuan Xi nodded, this is naturally his most ideal situation, but Sima Yi said how Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and Xiliang would confront Cao Cao, he was still very interested, Yuan Xi asked curiously: "Although Jiangdong Sun Quan is young, his father and brother have left a lot of talents, and they will inevitably rise in a few years, and they will compete with Cao Cao for the Central Plains." Xiliang Ma Teng is loyal and righteous, and Cao Cao controls the Han Court, so he will not dare to take risks. Jingzhou Liu Biao has always been content with this, and this time the troops are just talking, Zhongda has a way to make them fight with Cao Cao? Sima Yi said confidently: "It depends on one person, Liu Bei!" Liu Bei calls himself the emperor's uncle, and takes it as his responsibility to support the Han family, as long as he is sent to Liu Biao and summons the old department, the union with Liu Biao will definitely give Cao Cao a headache. As for Xiliang Ma Teng, how to raise troops to rebel, it still depends on Liu Bei, I heard that Dong Cheng and his party conspired against Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Ma Teng are all in the list, and Ma Teng is in the capital, so the edict with blood must be in Liu Bei's hands. ”

After listening to Sima Yi's analysis, Yuan Xi understood that Liu Bei had so many uses, but I don't know if Sima Yi doubted the relationship between Liu Bei and Cao Cao. So, Yuan Xi told Sima Yi about his speculation about Liu Bei, Sima Yi was also surprised, it really cannot be ruled out that Liu Bei colluded with Cao Cao, Cao Cao relied on Liu Bei to get news of Yuan Jun, and Liu Bei's possible benefits were Yuzhou, as well as the position of the emperor's uncle, suddenly thought of something, and asked mysteriously: "How did the general prevent it?" Yuan Xi also said helplessly at this time: "I just strengthened the guards of the grain road and sent people to monitor Liu Bei's every move." ”

Yuan Xi said that his vision is good, Sima Yi is now convinced, what he lacks is a person like himself who is good at scheming, I saw him plan: "The general can plan and let Liu Bei send a message to Cao Cao where the grain is stored, and if it succeeds, Cao Cao will be wiped out." If it doesn't work, let him hand over the bloody edict and send him to Liu Biao. Miao, Miao, Miao, Yuan Xi happily said three words in a row, although he had foresight, he didn't have Sima Yi's strategy, but he didn't expect to be able to plan it.

Yuan Xi also felt that he had not found the wrong person, Sima Yi was not in vain, and continued to ask: "What Zhong Da said just now is only the best situation, I still want to know what to do in the worst case?" Sima Yi seemed to have decided to become a general, and patiently gave his opinion: "The general will not pass on the throne to the third prince." The general must have wondered, why wasn't the general's favorite third son? If it weren't for the general's recent performance, the third prince would have continued, but in the face of the rise of the general, as well as the strength of the eldest prince, once the young third prince ascended the throne, I am afraid that it would cause trouble for Xiao Wall, but it is not excluded that someone tampered with the general's order, which is a godsend for the general, the general can take the opportunity to seize Jizhou, and the eldest prince will inevitably disagree, then the four northern states can be won in a war. Yuan Xi nodded, the Liu family does have this possibility, just like Sima Yi's analysis, that way he will also be famous for his own division and directly control the four northern states.

Seeing Yuan Xi nodding, Sima Yi continued: "The only difficult situation to deal with is that the eldest prince is on the throne, and the general's situation will be more embarrassing. The third prince and the eldest prince have always been at odds, but it is inevitable that they will fight, the third prince will be defeated and will vote for the general, and the general can not send someone to persuade the eldest prince to strike the army. The eldest prince has the land of three states, and there is a general to guard the north for him, he will inevitably take over the mantle of the general and continue to compete with Cao Cao for the Central Plains. Even if the eldest prince is not Cao Cao's opponent, it will take a while, and the general can take the opportunity to destroy the surrounding forces. When the time is ripe, lead the army to the south, eliminate Cao Cao, and win the Central Plains. If you take the land of Jingzhou again, the world can be determined. With Sima Yi's plan, Yuan Xi was much clearer about the future path, and finally, Yuan Xi sent a formal invitation to Sima Yi.
