Cao Zhi was looking at Sima Yi with blazing eyes at this time, and when he saw that Sima Yi actually said such a thing directly, his heart moved, and he suddenly felt that he would be able to achieve the desired effect this time.

Cao Zhi's mind was very transparent, although he already had some joy in his heart, but he had a questioning look on his face, looked at Sima Yi and sighed slightly, and then whispered: "Zhong Da is not ignorant, our army has just been defeated by Liu Feng under the city of Wancheng in Jingzhou, and the loss is no less than 100,000, although after this battle in the Wei State, I have ordered the court to keep silent, and strive to minimize the impact of this matter on my Wei State, but with the title of emperor of Liu Feng this time, I'm afraid that it is very difficult to immediately restore the confidence of Liu Feng in the court or among the soldiers of my Wei State, since Zhong Da said so, I wonder if Zhong Da already has a plan in his heart about this matter? ”

Sima Yi knew that Cao Zhi was not only examining himself at this time, but also forcing himself to say what he wanted to hear in disguise, but Sima Yi couldn't care in his heart, since he had already determined that he would return to Wei ** because of Yang Xiu's defeat, how could he not prepare for today's scene in advance.

I saw that Sima Yi made a similar look of bowing his head and contemplating as before, as if he had put all the life and death of Wei into his own mind, as if he was explaining to Cao Zhi that although Sima Yi was demoted by one of his officials three levels in a row, and his salary was almost halved, he still paid attention to the rise and fall of Wei at home, and he was completely a loyal and good general.

Another long time passed, and Sima Yi slowly raised his head, this time with a hesitant look on his face, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know whether he should say it in front of Cao Zhi, who was the lord.

"What Zhongda thinks in his heart, but it doesn't hurt to say it." How could Cao Zhi not see the meaning of Sima Yi's expression, although he was not sure whether such a look was Sima Yi's true feelings or he was pretending, since he had already come, he had to invite Sima Yi out again, and some words were naturally for him to say.

"The minister is not a general in the army at this time, if he talks about military affairs in front of the lord, it will be a little inappropriate no matter what......" Finally, Sima Yi opened his mouth in this way.

Cao Zhi knew that Sima Yi was asking himself vaguely, whether he came this time simply to see if Sima Yi had any good strategies to deal with Liu Feng, or whether he really wanted to entrust him with an important task again.

I saw Cao Zhi raise his eyebrows after hearing this, and replied nonchalantly: "I am the lord of this Wei State, my Wei State courtiers, civil officials or military generals, all of them must be appointed by me, how does Zhong Da know that you can't be among the military generals in the future, and you can't lead the army to the battle?" ”

With Cao Zhi's words, Sima Yi nodded slightly, he knew that he wanted to take advantage of the defeat of Yang Xiu's army this time, and then Liu Feng was the emperor in Xiangyang, so that Cao Zhi was not very realistic to obey his words, and Cao Zhi was not a straw bag who didn't know anything in addition to not being able to lead the troops in person, and wanting Cao Zhi to fall into his design was naturally not something that could be achieved overnight.

With the words of the lord, Sima Yi was relieved. In my opinion, the last time Dezu led the army to the expedition, the reason why he was defeated under Liu Feng's men was because Dezu led the army outside was a little inexperienced, and Liu Feng was the one who had been leading the army to the south and the north during these years, so that Dezu failed to fully play the advantages of my Wei ** soldiers, and then fell into Liu Feng's strategy, which led to this defeat, but the loss of hundreds of thousands of soldiers is not a matter of breaking the muscles and bones for my Wei State, so the lord does not have to worry about Liu Feng's actions in Xiangyang, if the strategy is appropriate, The strength advantage of our Wei army was fully brought into play, and Liu Feng's prestige was destroyed in the first battle, and several important places in Jingzhou were captured, which is unknown! ”

War has always been easier said than done, this point, through Yang Xiu's fiasco Cao Zhi is already very well understood, Sima Yi can see the reasons for Yang Xiu's failure, can know what kind of advantages Wei has compared with Liu Feng, but even if Yang Xiu is informed of these, and then let him lead his troops to attack Liu Feng again, most of the results he can get are still the same as before, and if Sima Yi goes, it will most likely bring surprises to Cao Zhi, this is the talent of a general.

"In this case, this battle to recover the morale of my Wei ** from Liu Feng's hands will be handed over to Zhong Da, Zhong Da has been idle at home for some time, Yingchuan matter, fortunately, Zhong Da and the Sima family are not deeply involved in it, not like my clan uncles, and end up in a situation where the late season is not guaranteed, these days of confiscation should be a wake-up call to Zhong Da, and I hope that Zhong Da will be strict with himself after taking charge of the army, and don't make the same mistakes as before."

Seeing that Sima Yi was a little relieved, Cao Zhi decided not to go back and forth with him on those illusory issues, but to adopt a quick way to cut through the mess, first pull Sima Yi into his plan, and then set some necessary conditions for him to restrict, of course, in these words, there is no lack of words of vigilance.

Sima Yi listened at this time and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and thanked him loudly: "Thanks to the lord who does not give up, Sima Yi will abide by the lord's teachings, for my Wei country under the dog and horse work, if the lord really trusts Sima Yi, I am willing to hand over my Wei army to Sima Yi to crusade against Liu Feng, Sima Yi must do his best, and the horse leather shroud is also not hesitating, but as the lord said, after our army was defeated outside Wancheng, Yi has been thinking about this matter, not to hide it from the lord, if it is true that Yi leads the army to Jingzhou, or can fight with Liu Feng, but there are some requests, Yi dared to say that he would talk to the lord, but if the lord could not agree, Yi was afraid that he would be entrusted by the lord if he went rashly, so he did not dare to go, so he could only continue to teach the two children in the house. ”

After Sima Yi finished speaking, he didn't even look at Cao Zhi in front of him, but just buried his head deep in the ground, obviously looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

Cao Zhi is what kind of person, as soon as he heard Sima Yi's words, he knew that although what he said was high-sounding, most of them were about to put forward his conditions, although he was unhappy in his heart, but at the moment Wei State needed Sima Yi to lead the troops to go on an expedition, Cao Zhi couldn't go against the trend, so he had to sigh in his heart, and secretly said that Sima Yi's guy was really a little difficult to deal with.

"Zhong Damo wants to be like this, since he is ready to let you lead the army forward, how can he ignore what you think in your heart, what requests you have, but it doesn't matter, if it is appropriate, I will be satisfied!" Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
