Cao Zhang received Ma Hong's letter, so he summoned Cao Zhi and his advisers to discuss countermeasures.

"Ma Hong wrote to me, saying that he was going to send troops to attack Cao Pi's Xuzhou in Yangzhou, and asked me to cooperate with him to attack Cao Pi, what do you think?" After Cao Zhang finished speaking, he handed Ma Hong's letter to Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi quickly read the letter and said: "We can support until today, Ma Hong has helped a lot, if we don't send troops, then we will offend Ma Hong, but our soldiers are more than enough to protect themselves, but attacking Cao Pi is not enough." ”

"If we send troops to help Ma Hong fight Cao Pi, then if we win, it will not be good for us, and now Ma Hong wants us to contain Cao Pi, once Cao Pi is defeated, the value of our existence will be gone." Cao Zhi's advisor Ding Yi spoke.

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "I understand what you said, but I'm thinking about a question, that is, whether Ma Hong wants to test me with this, if I don't send troops, will he directly raise troops to attack my Xu Du, when we are surrounded by Ma Hong and Cao Pi, it will be even more difficult." ”

Ding Yi nodded and said, "This is the trouble with this matter, it's not good to fight, it's not good not to fight." ”

Cao Zhang glanced at Ding Yi and said in his heart: Isn't what this product said equal to not saying it? If you can't say something, it's better to keep your mouth shut and stand up and do something.

Yang Xiu glanced at Cao Zhang, knowing that Cao Zhang was already a little impatient in his heart, so he stood up and said, "Son, there is a plan. ”

Cao Zhang looked at Yang Xiu, this Yang Xiu claimed to be the smartest person under Cao Zhi, but his father Cao Cao was very unhappy with him when he was alive, because he often guessed Cao Cao's thoughts, but smart people always have the value of smart people, Cao Zhang stroked his short beard and said, "Please speak!" ”

"From the position of the two sons, it is not a war now, nor is it a war not to fight, because we can't offend Ma Hong, a certain suggestion that we promise Ma Hong to attack Cao Pi, and Cao Pi, if he learns that Ma Hong is going to attack him, he will inevitably concentrate most of his forces in the direction of Yangzhou. We can let out some rumors a little, so that Cao Pi knows in advance that Ma Hong is going to attack Xuzhou, and then Cao Pi will send troops to defend Xuzhou. At that time, our army will take the initiative to attack Cao Pi before Ma Hong has sent troops or will send troops, and at that time Ma Hong will definitely be satisfied with the actions of the two sons, and will not blame the two sons. ”

"Don't you want me to bear the brunt of it?" Cao Zhang frowned and said: "You know that there are not many soldiers in our army, and it is more than enough to defend yourself against Cao Pi, how can you take the initiative to attack, if Cao Pi turns the spearhead to us, it is not ......"

Yang Xiu glanced at the second son, who had developed limbs and a slightly simple mind, and said, "Childe, I haven't finished saying so-and-so. ”

"Oh? Go ahead and hear it. ”

"At that time, Gongzi can take 30,000 old and weak soldiers to attack Cao Pi, and find out in advance which of Cao Pi's generals will come to meet the battle, we can sell a flaw to him, deliberately fail, or if the general sent by Cao Pi is old with Gongzi, you can secretly contact him and tell him that we want to cheat, so that which general can get military merits, and secondly, you can also make a show to Ma Hong, we tried our best, but it is really not Cao Pi's opponent, and then Gongzi can return to Xudu and watch the fire from the other side. In a certain point of view, Cao Pi is still rich, although Ma Hong is strong, but for a time it is difficult to break through the defense line of Xuzhou, we only need to watch them consume, the more they consume, the more beneficial it is to us, because once they start a war, they will have no time to take care of us, and then we can take the opportunity to recuperate. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, good plan!" Cao Zhang laughed after hearing this.

Yecheng.

"I heard that Ma Hong gathered 100,000 people in Yangzhou and attempted to attack Xuzhou, what do you think?" Cao Pi looked at the three people in front of him and said.

Standing in front of Cao Pi were the general Cao Zhen, the strategist Sima Yi and Xiang Huaxin.

"At this time, Ma Hong should be looking at His Majesty and Cao Zhang's mutual consumption, how could he stand up and mix?" Hua Xin said.

Cao Pi said coldly: "Ma Hong is very ambitious, after he destroyed Sun Quan, his next target is my Wei State, so he designed to disrupt my Wei State and provoke us to kill each other, and now seeing that Cao Zhang can't help me, he will take the initiative to send troops to attack me, which is really hateful and hateful." ”

Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Ma Hong will not only attack from the direction of Yangzhou, but also the Chu army in the direction of Yangzhou and Chang'an will also come to cooperate with Yangzhou to attack our Wei State, in addition, Your Majesty also needs to pay attention to it, that Ma Hong will definitely let Cao Zhang cooperate with him to attack my Wei State, in addition, we must also pay attention to the water army of Chu State, Chu State can defeat Dongwu, relying not only on the strength of the infantry, but also on the water army is extremely powerful, it is said that the ironclad warship was used in the First World War, its strength surpassed that of Dongwu, and now Dongwu has been destroyed, and the water army has been absorbed by Chu State, The strength of its sailors is too strong for us to ignore. ”

"What Zhong Da means is that the Chu army may use the army to cooperate with the army to attack my Xuzhou?" Cao Zhen asked.

"If its naval army detours the coastline of Xuzhou from the sea, and then attacks our army from both sides from behind, our army will definitely be caught off guard."

Cao Pi and Cao Zhen nodded and said, Cao Pi said: "In this way, is it possible for Ma Hong to attack my Wei State with a five-way army?" ”

"Maybe there's another way, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong." Hua Xin said: "Gongsun Yuan has 100,000 armor, and he has not been involved in the war between the princes for many years, if he takes advantage of the fire to rob, then ......"

"It's okay, Gongsun Yuan's husband doesn't care, he only needs 10,000 troops to contain it, and in that husband's vision, at most, he wants to stand on his own feet, and he won't have the heart to offend my Great Wei at all." Sima Yi said.

"Then Cao Zhangxiao is brave and good at fighting, and he has to be careful." Cao Pi said.

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Although Cao Chang is good at fighting, Cao Zhi and his strategists will definitely persuade Cao Zhang to watch the fire from across the shore, at most they will make a casual fight, and then watch the show, if Cao Zhang really attacks, send a general with 10,000 people to stop it, and then His Majesty can ask Xiahou Yuan to write a letter to Cao Zhang, telling him about the survival of Great Wei at this moment, and asking him not to help outsiders fight his own brothers, he should more or less obey!" ”

Cao Pi nodded, Xiahoudun died in Xudu, it is said that he was unwilling to forgive Cao Zhang before he died, and he was unwilling to see Cao Chang before he died. In this way, Gongsun Yuan and Cao Zhang can be put aside, so the key is to defend against Ma Hong's attack.

"I'm afraid that Ma Hong also knows that once this war starts, it will last for a long time." Cao Pi said.

"It's a duel between national strengths, whether my Great Wei can survive his Chu State, or whether the Chu State can survive my Great Wei." Cao Zhen said.

"As long as this war is not defeated, it is a victory, and the enemy will attack, raise hundreds of thousands of troops, and survive for a year." (To be continued.) )
