Chapter 400: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
Taking advantage of the contradiction between Yang Xiu and Sima Yi, Liu Feng did not think about it before, but Cao Zhi had not investigated the relationship between Sima Yi and the Geng clan before, and now since Zhou Yu just discovered this, and Cao Zhi refused Sima Yi's request to lead the army to the battle, Liu Feng also felt that this was indeed an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Gong Jin thinks that this will be able to bring Sima Yi down?" After thinking of these in Liu Feng's heart, he asked Zhou Yu quietly.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he knew that Liu Feng was examining himself again, and he was not ambiguous at the moment, so he replied without thinking about it: "If Sima Yi is a person who can be brought down so easily, how can the lord allow him to exist in such a big trouble to this day, this time using Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi's suspicion of Sima Yi, not seeking to bring Sima Yi down, but only seeking to deepen the suspicion of Sima Yi in Cao Zhi's heart, it can be regarded as a great achievement, and the military power of Wei State cannot fall into the hands of Sima Yi in the future, and we will naturally have one less big enemy." ”
Obviously, what Zhou Yu said is reasonable, for the enemy generals, it is not necessarily necessary to put them to death, if they do so, they will fall into the inferiority, and it is easy for Cao Zhi to detect that this is a counter-tactic used by Liu Feng, as long as the purpose of widening the rift between Sima Yi and Cao Zhi can be achieved, it will have many benefits for Liu Feng.
"As Gong Jin said, Gong Jin just has to let go of this matter, since Cao Zhi decided not to send troops to attack my Yizhou this time, then he will not send troops in the near future, just give me time to operate this matter, the dark line of the land of Yingchuan, if Gong Jin wants to use it, he must inform me in advance of what he wants to do, and the elite there will only obey my command."
The elite that Liu Feng refers to is naturally the shadow guard, but the command of the shadow guard is still only in the hands of Liu Feng alone, even if it is Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others, they don't know much about the shadow guard, even if Zhou Yu learned that Liu Feng had a team of elite people in Yingchuan, Liu Feng could not hand over the command of the shadow guard to Zhou Yu, even if he knew that Zhou Yu had no second heart for him, he would never do it, just because he was a monarch, a monarch, there must be something that others could not touch, and the shadow guard was one of the such things in Liu Feng's hands.
Zhou Yu naturally could understand Liu Feng's intentions, and he didn't show a trace of unhappiness on his face, but just bowed his head slightly: "So good, the first purpose of this plan is naturally to deepen the estrangement between Cao Zhi and Sima Yi, and the second purpose of this matter is to take this opportunity to dig out the underground forces of Yingchuan together, such forces are entrenched in the center of the Central Plains, no matter who is not a good thing, but at this time, Yingchuan is still under the rule of Cao Zhi, it is the best time to dig out this contradiction, maybe, What more can our army gain from this chaos? ”
Zhou Yu's words were something that Liu Feng hadn't thought of before, the intertwined forces in Yingchuan County were indeed a situation that no matter who was in power, he didn't want to see it, but according to what Liu Feng thought before, even if he wanted to uproot it, he would not be able to act until he defeated Cao Zhi and controlled the land of Yingchuan, and Zhou Yu had to solve this matter at this time, which was enough to see the confidence and foresight in his heart.
"Are the many forces in Yingchuan in vain a bit of a hurry at this time? It would not be wise to point their finger at Yizhou or Jingzhou. ”
Although Liu Feng believed that Zhou Yu's mind would definitely be able to think of all kinds of powerful relationships, he still reminded him.
"The lord doesn't have to worry, Yingchuan is under Cao Zhi's rule at this time, and according to the situation at this time, Cao Zhi is only afraid that he only knows that one Geng clan is colluded with Sima Yi, as for the other intertwined forces, I am afraid that they also know very little, so why don't we treat all those forces entrenched in Yingchuan as Geng's clan, and leak them to Yang Xiu, who currently knows nothing about this matter, Yang Xiu's revenge on Sima Yi is very serious, and most of them will not be carefully determined that this information will be informed to Cao Zhi, so that Once Cao Zhi chooses not to tolerate this, he will definitely take action against those forces entrenched in Yingchuan, so wouldn't it be in line with our intentions? ”
Liu Feng had to admire Zhou Yu's strategy, Zhou Yu had just been in Yizhou for less than a month, and he was able to explore all kinds of interests so deeply, which is enough to show that he has indeed put his heart and soul into the affairs of Yizhou.
"It's worth a try, since Gong Jin has already considered it all, just let it go, this is Gong Jin's first shot after coming to my Yizhou, I am here waiting for Gong Jin's good news to come, but Gong Jin doesn't have to care too much about this matter, the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, this strategy is enough to show that Gong Jin has a gully in his chest."
Zhou Yu knew that Liu Feng was using this way to relieve pressure on himself, this strategy needed to have a very accurate grasp of Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi's temperament in order to succeed, once there was any mistake in this, or Sima Yi was aware of this matter in advance, this strategy would most likely fail.
"The lord doesn't have to excuse me at this time, whether this plan is successful or not, Yu has the ability to bear it, but in addition, the lord also has to entrust the elite in Yingchuan with some things to be prepared." Zhou Yu was not worried about the failure of his strategy at this time, but reminded Liu Feng Yingchuan again.
"What?" What Zhou Yu mentioned in his mouth was naturally the shadow guard, but what puzzled Liu Feng was what this prepared thing was.
"According to the news obtained from these days of exploration, because of the geographical location of Yingchuan, there are not a few families developing in Yingchuan, the Geng family is just an ordinary one of them, this time all these families are exposed to Cao Zhi's eyes, with the minds of Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu, it will definitely not be able to continue to develop and grow in Yingchuan, at this time, the lord can naturally be absorbed in his desperate situation, and then scattered and strengthened into my Yizhou army, isn't it a good thing?"
At this point, Liu Feng knew Zhou Yu's strategy of killing three birds with one stone, indeed, if all of what Zhou Yu said before can be realized, this time it is indeed worth Zhou Yu's try, and after success, it is enough for Zhou Yu to gain a firm foothold in Yizhou, Liu Feng needs such a chance to fight Cao Zhi, and Zhou Yu also needs such an opportunity to prove himself, so such a strategy came into being.
This is a strategy to watch the fire from the other side, and this fire, Liu Feng has already brought to Cao Zhi, and what Zhou Yu wants to do is to burn it more vigorously.
