Less than three days later, Li Dian's news reached Cao Zhi's court, and this news can be said to be both expected by Cao Zhi and somewhat unexpected by Cao Zhi.

Attacking Wei from Weixing County can be said to be the most difficult road, because after breaking through Weixing County, he also has to face Luoyang, which has a strong city, before Cao Zhi always thought that Liu Feng would most likely choose to send troops from Jiangdong to attack Hefei, which would be the closest route to Yecheng, so Cao Zhi sent the most outstanding general Zhang Liao in Hefei.

But he didn't expect that Liu Feng would do the opposite, so after receiving Li Dian's news, Cao Zhi's heart was also very chaotic, he knew that with Li Dian and the 50,000 horses led by him, even if he defended to the death, he might not be able to resist Liu Feng and Zhao Yun's vanguard troops, he couldn't leave Li Dian there alone, he had to send reinforcements to recapture the lost Xicheng County, otherwise, it would become a matter of course to be gradually eaten away by Liu Feng.

At the same time as receiving Li Dian's request for help, Cao Zhi summoned all the generals in Yecheng to the court, and introduced the situation faced by Li Dian in Weixing County at this time, and then expressed his attitude, that is, no matter what way he used, even if he Cao Zhi personally went out to fight, he must not let the entire county of Weixing fall into the hands of Liu Feng, Cao Zhi had heard some rumors in the past few months, and he vaguely felt that the people's hearts seemed to be no longer on his side, In such a situation, he must show the bloody nature of the Wei State when he is at a disadvantage, otherwise, the people's hearts will turn against him, and I am afraid that Cao Zhi will pay a greater price in the years to come.

When the ministers learned the news, no one put forward any strategy first, but everyone's eyes were almost all focused on Sima Yi, who was above the court of Wei at this time, if there was anyone who could turn the tide, it could only be Sima Yi.

Although he had just returned from Jingzhou a year ago, none of the other advisers or generals could deny Sima Yi's ability, they knew that even if Sima Yi went, he might lose the battle with Liu Feng, but if they went, they would definitely lose the battle with Liu Feng, and the difference was still very big.

The thoughts of the ministers in the court of Wei were also the thoughts of Cao Zhi at this time, he looked at Sima Yi who was standing in front of the ministers, and took the lead in speaking: "Zhong Da thinks that this time Liu Feng chose the land of Wei Xing as the initiator of the attack on Wei State, to what extent does he want to fight?" ”

When Sima Yi heard Cao Zhi's question, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then replied: "With Liu Feng's temperament, after more than half a year of forbearance and preparation, it is definitely not a hair, and there must be something to gain, as for how far Liu Feng wants to fight with my Wei State, it depends on the reaction of my Wei State, if my Wei State cannot give a strong counterattack, then Liu Feng is very likely to be ready to attack my Yecheng in one fell swoop, and then he will give up......"

As soon as Sima Yi's words came out, a kind of old ministers of the Wei State behind him all scolded Liu Feng, and all the remarks such as yellow-mouthed children and self-immeasurable things came out of their mouths, as if Liu Feng was just a child who didn't know how many catties and taels he had.

Most of these old ministers were ministers who fought with Cao Cao in the early years of the southern and northern wars, and they were accustomed to Cao Cao's previous ability, and they were undoubtedly very depressed that Wei was forced to retreat everywhere by Liu Feng in the hands of Cao Zhi at this time, and they could not express their dissatisfaction with Cao Zhi, so they could only sprinkle their anger on Liu Feng.

"Since the princes are so indignant, it is better to go to the front line to compete with Liu Feng, how, if the princes can repel Liu Feng, they will live up to what they said before!"

Obviously, Cao Zhi was very dissatisfied with the remarks of these old ministers, he had long been dissatisfied with these old ministers who had been waving their flags and shouting behind Cao Cao for a while, and now they were making senseless noises in the court at the time of crisis in the Wei State, how could Cao Zhi not be angry.

After this sentence came out, no one in the court dared to speak at will, and at this time, Cao Zhicai looked at Sima Yi again and asked softly: "If Zhongda is the main commander, can Liu Feng be kept out of my Wei State?" ”

Sima Yi seemed to have known that Cao Zhi would ask this question, he did not have a surprised look, but looked at Cao Zhi and asked: "The lord knows that Liu Feng's personal attack on Wei Xing this time is a problem for our army, and now Liu Feng seems to have put two cups of poisonous wine in front of my Wei State, and my Wei State can only choose one cup to drink......

This was the first time Cao Zhi had heard such remarks, and he had never thought of them before, so he asked, "What do you mean by Zhongda's words?" ”

"Although Liu Feng and Zhao Yun personally attacked the land of Weixing, and the number of defenders was only much larger than that led by General Li Dian, General Li Dian did not see Liu Feng's entire army, as for Liu Feng and Zhao Yun are just the vanguard of the front, it is just a guess drawn by General Li Dian based on the situation in front of the battle. Once the tens of thousands of soldiers led by Liu Feng only capture Weixing County, there must be soldiers elsewhere waiting for our response. And it is naturally possible that he wants to complete the battle in Weixing County, as General Li Dian guessed, and then directly capture Luoyang, and then attack Yecheng in one go......"

Obviously, Sima Yi saw the situation facing Wei at this time, but it was difficult for him to grasp Liu Feng's psychology very accurately for a while, so in the face of Cao Zhi's request, he was also hesitating in his heart, so he could only inform Cao Zhi of his guess first, so as not to be in a hurry when Cao Zhi really fell into Liu Feng's calculations.

Cao Zhi listened to Sima Yi's words, and knew that Sima Yi wanted him to make the final decision, after all, he was the master of this country, and if he sat in this position, he must have the ability to make decisions and the courage to bear the consequences of decisions.

After a long time, Cao Zhicai looked at Sima Yi again, he had already made a decision in his heart, and said to Sima Yi in a deep voice: "In my opinion, Zhongda should go to Weixing County for a trip, otherwise once we wait and see and delay the fighter, General Li Dian's 50,000 soldiers are afraid that they will not be able to save it, and when Liu Feng's troops are in Luoyang, our Wei State will fall into a great crisis, as for another possibility...... I'll be mindful of it from time to time. ”
