Sima Yi is really at a loss now, which is still a relatively rare thing for him. Once upon a time, he played with Cao Ying and Liu Bei in the palm www.biquge.info of his hand, using them as guns, but he profited from them. At that time, he felt like a god, an omnipotent god. But soon, the territory they occupied was actually recaptured by them one by one, such as Hedong County, Longxi, Wudu and Yinping County, and even Guanzhong could not be saved, so that he could only entrench himself in Hanzhong now, surviving for a long time.

Only now did Sima Yi know that he had underestimated the heroes of the world. Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about Zhao Feng of Xichuan, this time he even used a clever plan to take Guanzhong from his own hands in one fell swoop, which made Sima Yi and Cao Ying dizzy, and the latter even died violently because of this, such a person is really terrible. Now he is sitting in Hanzhong, Liu Bei is in charge of the central government in the north, Ma Chao is in the west, Shangyong soldiers are in the east, and Xichuan is in the south. No matter how confident Sima Yi is, he doesn't dare to guarantee that he can keep the last foundation of Hanzhong under such a dangerous situation.

"Now that we are surrounded on all sides, even if we want to keep this size of the place, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it. The only way to do this is to protect yourself. Settle down, Sima Yi proposed. As soon as these words came out, Guo Huai and the others were a little relieved, afraid that Sima Yi would not admit defeat and would have to come hard. At that moment, Guo Huai asked tentatively: "Lord, do you mean to vote for Liu Bei or Cao Pi?" ”

"If you vote for Liu Bei, it is just to eliminate a back road of coercion for him; Now Liu is strong and Cao is weak, if he defects to Cao Pi. The two weak join forces, and they can also deal with the strong. Therefore, I intend to vote for Cao Pi for the time being. Sima Yi thought for a while. The idea is very good, but the problem is that with Sima Yi's foundation, even if he joins forces with Cao Pi, there is no hope of turning things around. And if he surrenders to Liu Bei now, even if there is no hope of competing for the world again, Liu Bei can at least give him a way to live. When Sima Yi refused this road, he was doomed to go all the way to the dark.

At that moment, Sima Yi sent an envoy, carrying his own handwritten letter, to secretly infiltrate Sili through the three eastern counties, and then go to see Cao Pi. A few days later, the envoy came to Yecheng, met with Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei, and sent Sima Yi's handwritten letter. Seeing this, Cao Pi hurriedly convened the ministers to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, Sima Yi, this traitor is ready to join forces with me, what do you think?" Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, threw Sima Yi's handwritten letter on the table. In fact, Cao Pi's attitude towards traitors has been evident in the repeated claims that the other party is a traitor.

The first to speak was naturally Hua Xin, who was good at figuring out his intentions, and seeing that Cao Pi was unhappy, Hua Xin hurriedly said: "Sima Yi is a rebellious person, and now he still has the face to form an alliance with His Majesty, and it is clear that he wants to find a way to live for himself while being alone." In the opinion of the minister, don't pay attention to him, let him be killed by Liu Bei! ”

"Hmm!" Cao Pi nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, feeling that this was indeed very pleasant. However, Cao Pi still had a trace of clarity, and turned his head to Jia Xu and asked, "Taiwei, in your opinion, what should you do?" ”

Since Cao Pi usurped the throne of Han, Xun You has not been sick, so now Jia Xu has become Cao Pi's most relied on think tank. After a moment of silence, Jia Xu finally said not very optimistically: "Sima Yi is now entrenched in Hanzhong, but his people are surrounded by Liu Bei layer by layer, and there are only tens of thousands of soldiers. But if you don't form an alliance with it, you will be a little powerless to deal with Liu Bei with our own strength. Now the minister has a plan, which may be of benefit to us. ”

"Captain, talk quickly!" Cao Pi hurriedly said when he heard this, but he heard Jia Xu say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty can agree to his request for an alliance, and then issue an edict to the world, saying that he will be canonized as the king of Hanzhong." In this way, Liu Bei will inevitably hate Sima Yi, who is close at hand, so he will transfer troops to conscript. I'll sit and watch Liu Bei's actions, or we can profit from it! ”

If you want to say that Jia Xu, a poisonous man, is really not covered, he tosses it like this, basically if he squeezes Sima Yi's surplus value out of it. Force him to be the first bird, and then take something out of it himself. I didn't want Cao Pi to hear this, but he was a little unhappy, but he just snorted and said: "Sima Yi is very hateful, he once raised troops against me back then, how can he divide him into a prince?" ”

"Your Majesty, your name is Feng Wang, but in fact, it's just for Liu Bei to attack him!" Jia Xu explained. In fact, even Jia Xu himself is not too optimistic about this idea in his heart, after all, Sima Yi's strength is too weak, if Liu Bei wants to move him, it is enough to dispatch Guanzhong or Xichuan soldiers and horses, but the soldiers of the Central Plains can not move. In this way, it is not so easy for you to get something out of it. However, this is the best way to deal with it. Cao Pi thought about it and decided to listen to Jia Xu's opinion.

"Taiwei's words are not unreasonable, so let's pass on the decree, canonize Sima Yi as the king of Hanzhong, and at the same time edict the world!" Cao Pi nodded. A few days later, an unexpected news spread throughout the thirteen states of Dahan. Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, ordered the canonization of Sima Yi of Hanzhong as the king of Hanzhong, which pushed this small prince, who was almost ignored, to the forefront again.

Everyone remembers that when Emperor Han Xian died the year before last, it was Sima Yi who was the first to hold high the banner of righteousness and call on the world's heroes to crusade against Cao Ying, the king of Wei at that time. I don't want Cao Pi to ascend the throne now, but he canonized Sima Yi on the throne, which is really a bit surprising. And Liu Bei, the Zhaolie Emperor of Guanzhong, after hearing the news, also convened his ministers to discuss state affairs for the first time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and now canonized Sima Yi on the throne, which is really hateful. I intended to sweep away Hebei after the beginning of spring. Now it seems that it is better to wipe out this Sima Yi first! In Chang'an City, Liu Bei looked at a military report sent by Xizuo in front of him, and said with hatred. It's no wonder that whoever is by his side will be unhappy.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, now that the two thieves have joined forces, although they are not afraid, they should not be too careless. In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to let Zhao Wangye, the general of Zhengxi, send troops to Hanzhong to completely exterminate Sima Yi to prevent future troubles! As for Cao Pi, according to the previous plan, His Majesty will personally conquer him, completely exterminate him, and dominate the world! Seeing that Liu Bei was so unhappy, Sikong Chen Qun admonished. Although Chen Qun is not good at military strategy, his surname is very calm, and the strategy he proposes is also more old-fashioned and serious, and he has a more appetite for Liu Bei, who nodded again and again.

"Xichuan plus the three eastern counties can mobilize no less than 100,000 troops, and they can also transfer troops from Jingzhou and Xiliang. Sima Yi is entrenched in Hanzhong, with only forty or fifty thousand troops, and it must be extremely easy for Zhao Wangye to exterminate him! Jingzhao Yin Zhang Cheng also nodded and said, his younger brother, Xincheng Taishou Zhang Xiu has been promoted by Zhao Feng many times, and he also has a very good impression of this prince.

The ministers, you and I all persuaded Liu Bei that there was no need to make a fuss about Sima Yi's trivial matter, and just strangle him to death. Liu Bei didn't get angry at all, and after a little persuasion, he calmed down. Turning his head to look at the crowd, Liu Bei said: "In this case, we will send troops to exterminate Cao Pi after the beginning of spring." As for Sima Yi in Hanzhong, let Bo Tao deal with it! After a pause, Liu Bei asked again: "Ladies and gentlemen, I intend to march into Hebei after the beginning of spring, how do you think we should march into the army?" ”

"Big brother, our army's naval division is sharp, and it is possible to march from Ziguanzhong and the Central Plains, and at the same time capture the land of Sili and Jizhou, Cao Pi must not be able to take care of both the end of the day, so Hebei can go down in a battle!" It was Zhang Fei who said this, and Liu Bei nodded again and again when he heard it, and he was not surprised. At this time, the Malay newspaper said that Cao Pi sent the general Zhang Jaw to Hongnong, and Xu Huang led the army into Hedong to always guard against the enemy in Guanzhong.

"It seems that this Cao Pi is really young and vigorous, he has just become an emperor, and he is not enjoying happiness in Yecheng, so he is going to come to fight with me!" Liu Bei made a rare joke. Jokes aside, Liu Bei also knows that although Cao Pi only occupies the surrounding areas now, among the four states, there is Jizhou, which is the richest in the Han Dynasty. Although the opponent's strength is slightly worse than his own, he can't be underestimated. At least, Cao Pi is not a little trick like Sima Yi, who can be strangled to death.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Bei pulled Zhang Fei and ordered people to bring a few precious medicinal materials from Xiqiang and Nanzhong, and the two came to the home of Prime Minister Lu Su, who was sick in bed, to visit him personally.

"Your Majesty, Lord!" Lu Su saw that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei actually came to visit at the same time, and hurriedly struggled to get up to salute, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

"Zijing is sick in bed, no need to be polite!" Liu Bei motioned for Lu Su to lie down and speak, and he and Zhang Fei sat on the stool. "Zijing, why are you so sick all of a sudden?" Liu Bei looked at Lu Su, who had lost a lot of weight in front of him, and also frowned.

"Alas, the minister has lived in the south for a long time, and when he arrives in the north, he is so unadaptable, which is really unexpected!" Lu Su smiled bitterly. Just smiling, Lu Su coughed a few more times. Historically, Lu Su died in 216 AD, which was already 214 AD. After a pause, Lu Su also sighed: "When the minister was not out of office, he made friends carelessly, and took harmful things like Wushisan, so that his body was weak. Later, although he was instructed by the divine doctor Hua Tuo to quit this thing, his body was already greatly damaged. ”

"If it weren't for me being in such a hurry to come to Guanzhong, why would I let Zijing suffer this toss!" Liu Bei sighed. Lu Su hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words killed the ministers, and the ministers used to say that they were just a field valley on the shore of the Huai River, and they were fortunate to meet Your Majesty. Even if the minister is full of liver and brain, it is difficult to repay His Majesty's kindness! After a pause, Lu Su suddenly said: "Your Majesty, even if the minister's illness is cured, it will definitely hurt his muscles and bones." The position of prime minister is a heavy responsibility, and it may be difficult for the minister to be competent. ”

"Don't worry, I already have a plan!" Liu Bei comforted: "Zijing is not feeling well, I want to emulate the old things of Gaozu, and under the prime minister, set up left and right prime ministers to assist the prime minister as co-directors." I came to see Zijing today, just to hear your opinion and see who can serve as the prime minister? ”

Lu Su groaned a little when he heard this, but finally said cautiously: "Gu Yong Gu Yuan sighed, his surname is just and upright, and he can be the prime minister of Zuo; As for the right prime minister, Your Majesty, what do you think of Zhuge Kongming? ”
