Chapter 341: Choosing the Weak and Devouring It
Liu Feng knew very well that Cao Zhi's temperament was not a person who would be avenged, but Sima Yi, as the adviser of his original rival Cao Pi, would never have been so reused by him if it weren't for his ability to be much stronger than ordinary people.
This discovery gave Liu Feng a headache again. Sima Yi this person, with a temperament that few people in this era have, he will never be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, his heart is filled with, only his own relatives, once someone threatens his family, then Sima Yi will definitely not hesitate to find ways to destroy this person, no matter who this person is, including his monarch, in his heart, there is no so-called monarch wants his ministers to die, and his ministers have to die.
Sima Yi was originally a strategist under Cao Pi's account, this Liu Feng knew, and he served under Cao Zhi so quickly, which confirmed Liu Feng's idea, this person must have betrayed Cao Pi, so that he could take the position under Cao Zhi, thinking of this, Liu Feng was faintly worried about Cao Zhi in his heart, although Cao Zhi was smart, but as an opponent, Liu Feng believed that Cao Zhi did everything with a scale, but Sima Yi, Liu Feng believed that in his heart, there were no taboos.
"As far as I know, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi were originally the number one strategists under Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, but this time Cao Zhi won the Wei State and took Sima Yi under his command, as long as there are these two people, Cao Zhi will definitely be difficult to deal with in the future."
After Liu Feng looked at it, he pointed to Yang Xiu and Sima Yi mentioned in the letter, looked at Pang Tong and Xu Shuyan and said.
Seeing Liu Feng's serious tone, the two also lowered their heads and groaned, before they did greatly underestimate Cao Zhi's ability, if it weren't for this, they would not take it for granted that the land of Wei Xing would definitely be taken directly by Zhao Yun, in fact, Wei not only has a wide territory and is connected to each other, but also a large number of troops are evenly distributed, no matter which place is attacked, they can rescue each other in just two or three days.
And now Cao Zhi is a smart person, with Yang Xiu and Sima Yi on his side, he is really a difficult enemy to deal with, obviously, in this case, if Liu Feng wants to go out of Hanzhong, like Zhuge Liang to deal with Jiangdong, it is very difficult to gradually encroach on Cao Zhi's territory, it is very likely that every war is extremely difficult.
"According to the deployment of the previous lord, when the one-year period of Shangyong arrived, he will capture Shangyong, and capture Shangyong, the lord must not only be to seize Wei Xing, which is located in the remote Wei State, this time to seek Wei Xing, but because Cao Cao died suddenly, and the reason why we want to take Shangyong is to capture Xiangyang and Jingzhou to prepare, although this time Wei has not become very weak because of Cao Cao's death, but we can still follow the previous plan, first take Jingzhou, and then Jiangdong, Then he formed a north-south confrontation with Cao Zhi, and at that time, it was the time to win the Central Plains. ”
Pang Tong thought about it for a while, and said such a thing, which is also very consistent with what Liu Feng thought before, Cao Zhi's power is huge, and Pang Tong also believes that this time Cao Cao died, the plan of the three major forces to get a piece of the pie from Wei has all been shattered, in this case, and no matter how Cao Zhi thinks about it, whether it is Liu Feng or Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan, the best way is naturally to destroy the other forces first, and finally compete with Cao Zhi.
Liu Feng sighed slightly in his heart, he made the so-called gentleman's agreement with Cao Zhi when he was in Jiangling before, because he saw that Cao Zhi was a person whose mind was not above governing the country, so he thought in his heart that if Cao Zhi got the management of Wei, he would not necessarily actively expand, but mostly enjoy life, so that the governor of Wei would gradually decline, and Liu Feng would take this opportunity to slowly encroach on Wei when he arrived, so he didn't have to spend a lot of effort, but now, even if Cao Zhi's heart has not changed, Liu Feng's idea of slowly encroaching on the Wei State can only be a fool's dream.
"What does Yuan Zhi think?" If this is the case, he will give up the opportunity to break his wrist with Cao Zhi, Liu Feng always feels a little unwilling in his heart, so he looks up at Xu Shu again, wanting to see if he has any constructive opinions in his heart.
But how could Xu Shu not know what Liu Feng meant, he had to smile bitterly at the moment, and replied: "When it comes to strategy, the lord and Mr. Shiyuan are both above Shu, and this matter is also thought that it should be fought steadily, taking advantage of Zhuge Liang's new defeat at this time, and the focus is all on seizing the territory of Jiangdong, it is a good policy to plot against Jingzhou from above." ”
At this point, Liu Feng finally had to admit that Cao Zhi did the first thing after winning the Wei State, and he did it too well, under such a shock, even geniuses like Pang Tong and Xu Shu were unwilling to risk being enemies with them, it is conceivable that Cao Wei is about to usher in several years of peace, and the extent to which the already strong military will be developed by using these years of calm depends on Cao Zhi's other ability, and at this time, Liu Feng can only temporarily hope that his judgment of Cao Zhi is correct, only in this way, Cao Zhi was able to give him enough time to truly realize the unification of the south, and then engage in a protracted war between the north and the south with Cao Zhi.
On the day he got the news, Liu Feng and the two of them made a plan, there are only 20,000 defenders at present, and they are about to usher in an unprecedented army of nearly 100,000, which can almost be said to be all the elites that Liu Feng has trained so far to be able to go on expeditions, in the case that the defenders can ensure that Yizhou and Liangzhou and other places are not lost, since Liu Feng decided to take the entire territory of Jingzhou first, he must complete his efforts in one battle, at least compared with Zhuge Liang, his troops and generals still have a great advantage, he can boldly say, This is a struggle between the strong and the weak, even if Zhuge Liang is clever, in the face of absolute strength, he can only choose to retreat.
Shangyong has changed, but Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan have no time to take care of it, the two weakest strengths, and they eagerly want to expand their territory through Cao **'s intention, but this time they all failed.
When Lu Xun returned to Jianye City, where Sun Quan was located, Sun Quan had already learned the news of the defeat first, and after Lu Xun went to Sun Quan's mansion to ask for guilt, he did not hide anything, but just told how he was defeated, and the endless ambushes of Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao also made Sun Quan dumbfounded, and in the end, he did not have the words to blame Lu Xun again, because even if it was him, the result would be exactly the same, and it might even be inferior to Lu Xun.
