Although Sima Yi knelt on the ground, he was already sure in his heart that Cao Zhi would definitely say so, so he slowly raised his head, ready to say the conditions that he had been thinking about in the mansion for many days.

"The previous several expeditions, all by Dezu on Yi's side, forgive Yi bluntly, called the deputy general, in fact, the prison army, if Yi led the army again this time, the lord wants to set up a prison army, Yi has no objection, but this person should not be Dezu again, Dezu and Yi, it is really difficult to get along in one place, if this is because of this delay in the fighter, the two of us have a small incident, my Wei army, but I really can't afford to lose to Liu Feng again......"

Speaking of this, Sima Yi's face was full of sincerity, and he looked up at Cao Zhi, waiting for his answer.

Although Sima Yi's face was full of sincerity, it was not the case in Cao Zhi's heart, and Cao Zhi knew that these high-sounding words were just a pretext for Sima Yi to get rid of the expedition with Yang Xiu.

Through the previous dispatch, Cao Zhi had already known that if Yang Xiu and Sima Yi sent troops together, although Yang Xiu was likely to be resentful of Sima Yi because of his military talent, Yang Xiu did not have any problems with Wei and Cao Zhi's loyalty, which would often lead to Yang Xiu not really interfering when Sima Yi made major sergeant decisions.

But with the existence of Yang Xiu, Sima Yi can only command the sergeants to fight, and he wants to do those gangs and gangs in the army, but he can't, so in Cao Zhi's heart, Yang Xiu is the most competent supervisor, but now Sima Yi wants to block Yang Xiu and his expedition with him on the grounds that he may delay the fighter, although Cao Zhi doesn't know what he really thinks in his heart, but Cao Zhi's heart is not happy.

Not happy or unhappy, but Cao Zhi also knew that the reason why Sima Yi was the first to take out this condition, and he had said it before, making it clear that if he didn't agree to this matter, he could only continue to teach his two sons to read in the house, which made Cao Zhi's heart full of helplessness, he didn't know if without Yang Xiu monitoring Sima Yi's every move on the battlefield, he would have a worse behavior than colluding with those hidden forces in the land of Yingchuan.

But after thinking about it again, what he was worried about was just a glimmer of possibility, not to mention that the other generals in the army, including Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Le Jin and others, were all good generals who had followed Cao Cao to fight for half their lives, and there was no problem with the loyalty of the Cao family, even if Sima Yi wanted to make any small moves, he would never hide it from everyone's eyes, not to mention that his top priority at this time was to first compete for the lost prestige and morale from Liu Feng's hands, and wait until the situation changed and came back. It's not too late to say anything else.

So, Cao Zhi showed a slight smile on his face, and said heartily: "Zhongda's move is really a little belly, you and Dezu are both virtuous ministers who have done their best for my Wei State, but they are different in their strengths, the last time you let the two of you go out together, it is just to ease the relationship between the two of you, since it is counterproductive, then this time Zhongda will mainly send troops, and Dezu will not go!" But the two of you are above the court, but you can't keep going on-for-tat, if everyone is like this, what kind of scene will be there above the court of my Wei Kingdom? ”

Although Cao Zhi said something with a gun and a stick, the meaning was obviously that he agreed that he would not let Yang Xiu be the supervisor of the army when Sima Yi led the troops to the battle, this step, obviously Sima Yi was on the right move, in order to be able to take some advantage from Liu Feng's hands, Cao Zhi has already begun to make concessions.

Sima Yi passed this somewhat risky temptation, and successfully probed some of Cao Zhi's bottom line this time, his heart was slightly happy, but his face was still respectful and said: "The pattern of the lord is really far from being comparable to us, and I and Dezu will definitely be able to inherit the words of the lord and get along well in the future." But I don't know if the lord has a plan in his heart, this time he will send troops to Jingzhou again, when is it better to send troops, and how many troops should be sent? ”

Sima Yi didn't make any requests again, but cut to the main topic of sending troops so quickly, which surprised Cao Zhi's heart, but he didn't think much about it, and he also switched his thinking to the issue of sending troops.

In the past few days, seeing the information sent back by Jingzhou Xizuo showed that Liu Feng's voice in Jingzhou and Yizhou was getting louder and louder, and many people in the neighboring places of Jingzhou moved to Jingzhou with their families, just because Liu Feng had been pardoned all kinds of miscellaneous taxes in Jingzhou and Yizhou for a whole year.

Cao Zhi knew that if he allowed this situation to continue for a year and a half without taking any mistakes, the impact on Wei would be huge. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people were not able to make a living, and the number of households in the Central Plains was much less than that of decades ago, and if Liu Feng could not be discredited through a major war, the advantages of Wei would definitely be eaten away by Liu Feng little by little in the near future.

In view of this, Cao Zhi has indeed set a general time for sending troops in his heart, and at this time, since Sima Yi has also agreed to be the commander of the Wei army, it is natural for him to discuss this matter with Sima Yi here.

"Liu Feng has been called the emperor, at this time must be the most inflated in the heart, the most perverse time, coupled with the people of the place under his jurisdiction have a blind pursuit of it, Liu Feng's mentality at this time is probably not as good as before, so my Wei State should seize such a good opportunity, if the army is used properly, it will definitely be able to give Liu Feng a blow to the head, so that he can realize how stupid it is to rush to call the emperor this time, so he prepared in half a month, and last time he gave Dezu 300,000 troops, this time, Zhong Da is naturally also leading 300,000 troops, the general of the DPRK, You can choose at will, I don't know what Chung Tat thinks? ”

"Just like the lord's words, but the 300,000 army, the goal is too big, the movement is inconvenient, and the consumption of grain and grass is very huge, once Liu Feng can't hold it, it will be difficult for us to continue, the lord can transfer 200,000 elite soldiers to me, as for the soldiers who have gone out with Dezu last time, the morale will not be too high, just let them garrison around Yecheng!"

Cao Zhi heard this, his brows furrowed and pondered, Liu Feng's defenders in Nanyang, if there are no 100,000, there will always be as many as 70,000 or 80,000, and the 200,000 army will go to attack, which is really a little less in Cao Zhi's heart, but looking at the strong confidence revealed in Sima Yi's eyes, and the hundreds of thousands of troops consumed before did make Cao Zhi a little painful, it is better to follow Sima Yi's words after thinking about it, and it can be regarded as keeping some more mobile troops in case of emergency.
