After finding out Xu Chu's intentions, Cao Ying sent him out, and Cheng Yu smiled: "Prime Minister, since Zhongkang is loyal to you, you should rest assured!" ”

"Reassured? Easier said than done! Cao Ying sighed: "Sima Yi and Wei Yan are both talented people, if they don't betray their true appearance, their true appearance will not want to touch them!" Zhongde, you write back to tell the two, just say that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, let them rest in Wancheng, and continue to attack Wuguan after resting! ”

"Yes!" Cheng Yu bowed down and asked, "Is that all?" ”

"So be it!" Cao Ying waved his hand and said, "Sima Yi is a smart person, he should understand what I mean!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" Cheng Yu asked again: "Does the prime minister have anything else?" ”

"No more!" Cao Ying smiled bitterly; "Ben Xiang wants to break through the Tiger Prison Pass now, but Liu Zhang's strength is too strong, and there is no hope for our army at all!"

"My lord, I really don't understand, why don't you gather your strength together?" Cheng Yu frowned; "If you gather a million troops in the Tiger Prison Pass, you must have already broken through the Tiger Prison Pass!"

"Impossible!" Cao Ying said: "If the original phase condenses the strength to one point, Liu Zhang can't concentrate the strength to one point?" You must know that Hangu Pass, Tongguan Pass, and Tiger Prison Pass are very close to each other, and it only takes more than one day for cavalry support and more than two days for infantry to travel under the stars and nights. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if our army wants to sneak attack, it can't hide from the elusive spies under Liu Zhang! Besides, most of Sima Yi's subordinates are family slaves. These house slaves are with our army, which is likely to affect the morale of our army! ”

"What the prime minister said is very true, I owe it to consideration!" Cheng Yu understood that there was another important reason for Cao Ying's division of troops, that is, he wanted to consume the strength of the family. There is a force under his command that cannot be controlled, and even the princes cannot tolerate it!

"Zhongde, now that our army has been defeated, do you think we should retreat!" Cao Ying said his thoughts with some hesitation, but Cheng Yu was shocked!

"Prime Minister, if it is not a big defeat, you must not retreat!" Cheng Yu said anxiously: "As the saying goes: one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. We came with an army of one million, and united with Sun Quan, there are 1.5 million troops, more than 100 generals, 1,000 generals, and in terms of overall strength, we are better than Liu Zhang! If you are defeated and retreat, it is a helpless move. If we retreat without a fight, our soldiers will definitely be afraid of Liu Zhang. Therefore, we can defeat and not retreat! ”

"This..."Cao Ying said with some hesitation: "If we are defeated and retreated, won't our sergeants still be afraid of Liu Zhangjun?" ”

"How is that the same?" Cheng Yu smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister, do you think that if we lose, do you still have a chance to defeat Liu Zhang?" At that time, we were just surviving, even if the soldiers were afraid of Liu Zhangjun, it didn't matter! ”

"Uh..." Cao Ying was stunned for a while when he heard this, how could he not understand what Cheng Yu meant. After pondering for a long time, Cao Ying spoke: "Zhongde, pass the order, transfer all Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Han Meng under Sima Yi back, and order Sima Yi to be the commander-in-chief, lead Wei Yan and Gao Shun to block Liu Zhang's army in Wuguan, and transfer the original Jingzhou people to Sima Yi's command!" ”

"Prime Minister, if you do this, Jingzhou will be in a state of emptiness, and once defeated, Liu Zhang will be able to come to Yuzhou. At that time, we won't even have a chance to survive! "One will be the retreat, the other will be a decisive battle, Cheng Yu looked at Cao Ying, a little dissatisfied in his heart, he felt that Cao Ying was a little emotional.

"Zhongde, it's not the whim of the prime minister, but the fact that the prime minister has made up his mind!" has known Cheng Yu for decades, how could Cao Ying not understand his thoughts, only to hear Cao Ying sigh and say: "Now it is time for us to fight Liu Zhang, if we win, we will attack the world, and if we lose, we will not turn over, and we can't tolerate not going all out!" Since there is nothing left if you lose, why not fight with all your strength? Perhaps, we can still defeat Liu Zhang! ”

"The lord has really decided?" Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "You must know that if you leave some of your strength, there may be a time to make a comeback, otherwise..."

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind!" Cao Ying patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder and said, "Zhongde, you are much older than me, I have always regarded you as a brother, now that I am in my fifties, and you are in your sixties, how much time can we wait?" Will you give my son the hope of unifying the world? Forget it! My children are more than enough, not enterprising, and what we can't do, they can't do. Rather than let them lose our life's work, it is better to fight, even if we lose, we are convinced! Zhongde, would you like to make a bet with me? ”

"Now that the Lord has made up his mind, I naturally support you!" As an elder brother, you should help your younger brother realize your wishes, and as a courtier, you should aim for the wishes of your lord! Cao Ying's words were full of sincerity, which moved Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu could only kneel on the ground, staring at him with very firm eyes, expressing his support for him!

"Good! Zhongde, Sima Yi has to be guarded, you immediately send someone to monitor Sima Yi and Wei Yan. If there is any change between them, get rid of them! Cao Ying looked at Cheng Yu with great satisfaction, over the years, Cheng Yu has been supporting him with the highest loyalty, which made him very moved. The so-called adversity sees the truth, and now it is the time of Cao Jun's life and death, so that we can see who is truly loyal to him! Only by being truly loyal to him can he rest assured that he can be entrusted with important tasks!

"Don't worry, my lord, Sima Yi and Wei Yanding can't escape my eyes!" Cheng Yu sneered: "I'm not sure about Sima Yi's side, but I have already ambushed several hidden piles around Wei Yan. Sudden killer, not to mention Wei Yan, even Lu Bu may not be able to escape! ”

"That's great!" Cao Ying nodded, he was very satisfied with Cheng Yu's arrangement. In fact, there are Cao Ying's people around Cao Jun's generals, these people are usually inconspicuous, but at a critical moment, they can definitely turn the situation around! It's a pity that people are not reliable, even if they seem to be loyal and honest! Just after Cheng Yu and Cao Ying separated, a small school rushed out of Cao Jun's camp, this person was wearing civilian clothes, and hurriedly went to Jingzhou...

Two days later, Cao Yan's order was sent to Wancheng, but before the order arrived, a small colonel had already told Wei Yan all about Cao Ying's conspiracy with Cheng Yu, including the secret stake around Wei Yan! After learning everything, Wei Yan felt quite stressed, so he called Sima Yi to discuss!

"Chief Wen, is your information reliable?" When Sima Yi heard this, he was shocked, he didn't want the matter between himself and Wei Yan to reach Cao Ying's ears! Thinking about Cao Ying and Cheng Yu's methods, even if they are as wise as Sima Yi, they are a little frightened!

"Absolutely reliable!" Wei Yan said in a deep voice: "This is the news sent by Cao Ying's personal guard camp, and every sentence in it is what Cao Ying and Cheng Yu said personally!" ”

"Isn't it Xu Chu?" Looking at Wei Yan, Sima Yi's heart turned sharply, in his opinion, Xu Chu was an honest man who was wooden and honest, and it was impossible to be a fine man. However, everyone has their own secrets, and if Wei Yan doesn't say it, he won't be able to ask.

"Strategist, what are you thinking?" Seeing the glint in Sima Yi's eyes, Wei Yan pushed him.

"Wen Chang, now that the prime minister is suspicious of us, maybe there are plans against us, what do you think we should do?" The situation is critical, Sima Yi can't care about anything else, he needs the commander of the army to be a helper!

"Only the army is the first to look forward!" Wei Yan knelt on the ground fiercely, he made a choice with his actions, and Sima Yi understood that he was swearing allegiance!

"Wen Chang, please get up!" Sima Yi hugged Wei Yan and said, "With Wen Chang's words, I will feel at ease!" From now on, you and I are brothers, and we will never lose each other in this life, how about it? ”

"Wen Chang has seen his brother!" Although he understood that Sima Yi was trying to woo him, Wei Yan still pretended to be confused. Back then, he and Liu Bei took a fancy to a shortcut to promotion, but Liu Bei was really incompetent and died too early, so he had to choose again, and Sima Yi was another shortcut he saw!

"Good brother!" Letting go of Wei Yan and patting him lightly on the shoulder, Sima Yi smiled and said, "Since Cao Ying wants to be unfavorable to us, we don't have to be polite to him!" He arranged a dark pile next to you, who didn't know that I also had a dark pile next to him! Not only that, Your Majesty also promised me that as long as I can get rid of Cao Ying, I will be the new prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and you will be the general of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Big... General?! Wei Yan was dumbfounded and said, "Brother, the prime minister is on the same level as the general, how dare I be on an equal footing with you?" ”

"Wen Chang, I said that from now on, you and I will be brothers, so naturally you will be on an equal footing with me!" Sima Yi said with a smile on his face: "Not only you, if Zhongkang is willing to defect to me, I will also make him a hussar general!" Of course, no matter when he comes to defect, even after the deed is done..."

"Brother, don't worry!" Wei Yan smiled: "Zhongkang is my third brother, I will try my best to convince him!" ”

"That's great!" Sima Yi nodded and said: "Wen Chang, compared with Cao Ying, our strength is still a little weak, we should attract more talents, who do you think among the generals of the Cao Army can be won over by us?" ”

"It's hard!" Wei Yan said: "But we can win over some generals who are not from Cao Ying's lineage, such as the generals of the Jingzhou faction!" ”

"What kind of talent do the generals of Jingzhou have?" In Sima Yi's eyes, only Cai Mao and Kuai Liang are the best among the generals in Jingzhou, and the others are not worth mentioning, but Cai Mao and Kuai Liang have passed away, and among the remaining people, Kuai Yue, the only one who can make him look at him, is also connected through the family, and he is almost his person!

"There is one more person, how can the military advisor forget?" Wei Yandao: "I was born in Yiyang, and before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I heard that there were two generals in Jingzhou who were unstoppable, one was Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan, and it is said that his martial arts are not under me. It's a pity that after Liu Biao's death, he disappeared. There is another one who is even more powerful, he became famous in Jingzhou when he was a teenager, but he was suppressed by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and now he is not very proud under the command of the prime minister. ”
