Chapter 541: Intrigue and Suspicion

readx;

Under the Tiger Prison, the Cao army camp, and the Cao army gathered together, and Cao Ying was furious in the tent, because Sima Yi's war report had arrived! Cao Ying really couldn't figure it out, Sima Yi had an army of 500,000 and more than ten generals, but he couldn't defeat a legion under Liu Zhang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWhat's even more infuriating is that Pang Tong, who was guarding Wuguan at that time, was not in the pass!

"Rubbish, what rubbish!" The defeat in the battle with Liu Zhang filled Cao Ying's heart with anger, and Sima Yi's defeat made him even more angry, and he finally lost his temper!

"The prime minister is angry!" was so angry that he was hurting his body, seeing that Cao Ying was almost venting, Cheng Yu stood up and persuaded; "Liu Zhang's power is great, and the world is well known, so it is not surprising that Zhongda was defeated. But have you noticed that there is something strange about Wuguan? ā€

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Ying is a hero, he instantly suppressed the fire, but there was still a scorching flame burning in those bloodshot eyes.

"The lord can imagine, if there is no Pang Tong, who in Liu Zhang's army can command the army to such a level?" Cheng Yu touched his chin and said, "I dare to say that Wuguan must not only be a strategist of Pang Tong, but also a commander who is good at guarding!" ā€

"The commander of the good guard?" Cao Ying touched his chin and said: "Liu Zhang's generals in the army can almost stand alone, but if you say that there are not many people who can beat Sima Yi without fighting back, at least it is the level of Zhou Yu and Xu Shu!" Zhou Yu and Xu Shu have already taken on heavy responsibilities, and Fa Zheng has also been transferred, who else do you think can partner with Pang Tong? ā€

"Wolong, phoenix chicks, you have to settle the world!" Xun You twisted his beard thoughtfully, but his words shocked Cao Ying's heart.

"Come on, immediately pass on the book to Sima Yi, it is likely that Wolong and Phoenix Chicks are all on Wuguan!" The bloodshot in Cao Ying's eyes subsided, and when the enemy was dark and I was clear, it was not uncommon for Sima Yi to be defeated!

"Subordinates obey!" Cheng Yu hurriedly ordered someone to give the order, but Cao Ying sat on the handsome chair a little weakly!

Under Wuguan, Sima Yi was also very depressed, he had been waiting for Cao Ying's punishment, or even a transfer order, because he was defeated. But he never expected that what Cao Ying sent was a letter full of comfort, and told him that Wuguan was likely to be Wolong and Phoenix Chicks together! Sima Yi looked at the letter in his hand, and thought bitterly in his heart: "Let Wolong and Fengxiao deal with me alone, Liu Zhang also thinks too highly of me!" ā€

"Strategist, should you give us an explanation?" Just when Sima Yi's face was full of bitterness, Lu Yi broke into the Chinese army's tent with a few people, he didn't have a good impression of Sima Yi, and after Sima Yi's defeat, he was even more presumptuous!

"What do you want?" Seeing Lu Yi, Sima Yi's eyes were cold, and his disgust for Lu Yi deepened again.

"Strategist, can you defeat Liu Zhang, if not, please don't mislead others and yourself!" Looking at Sima Yi, Lu Yi's face was full of arrogance, in his opinion, he had a lot of credit for it than Sima Yi. Of course, Lu Yi didn't mean to go against Sima Yi, but he couldn't get used to the superior face of the family!

"Do you want me to give you the position of manager?" Sima Yi's heart was also full of anger, if it weren't for Lu Yi's important position in the army, he would definitely not tolerate it!

"Don't dare!" Lu Yi sneered: "There are many talents under the command of the prime minister, you can change whoever you want, who will let you not do it?" ā€

"Enough!" Sima Yi said angrily: "Lu Yi, there is a limit to my patience!" Even the prime minister didn't say anything, but you kept talking! Seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings, there are many complaints, anger at its main generals, do not listen to constraints, and it is even more difficult to control, this is called building an army, and the offender is beheaded. Don't you think I dare not kill you? ā€

"Are you the manager?" Lu Yi said contemptuously: "You are only a military advisor, not a commander, if you want to kill me, you are not qualified enough!" ā€

"You..." Sima Yi's face was full of frost, everyone knew that the coach Wei Yan was an ornament, but Lu Yi took this matter as an example, but he had nothing to do.

"Get out!" Just when Sima Yi was about to get angry, a low roar sounded, and I saw the tent door opened, and Wei Yanhu walked in with a tiger face!

"General Wei, you..." Lu Yi can not be afraid of Sima Yi, but he can't not be afraid of Wei Yan, at least Wei Yan has the ability and power to kill him!

"Do you want me to say the second side?" Wei Yan's heart was also full of anger, he was defeated by Guan Yu, but he was convinced, but he was injured by a pawn with a crossbow arrow, although he was not injured, but the pain all over his body made him feel very aggrieved!

"Yes!" People are under low eaves and have to bow their heads. Wei Yan is higher than Lu Yi in terms of official position and power, and Lu Yi has to bow down!

"I don't know what to do!" Wei Yan turned around and saluted Sima Yi and said, "Military advisor, many people are like this, they don't know themselves, and they like to look for death, don't be angry!" ā€

"Anyway, he's going to die sooner or later, how can I be angry with the dead?" The frost on Sima Yi's face gradually melted, and he asked with a smile on his face, "Chief Wen, how is the injury?" ā€

"I can't die, it's just that my whole body is itchy and painful, and it's quite unpleasant!" Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "Liu Zhangjun is really despicable, when he was fighting, he actually ordered someone to shoot me with crossbow arrows, fortunately, my martial arts are extraordinary, otherwise it would be unimaginable!" ā€

"Shoot you with a crossbow arrow?" Sima Yi frowned and said, "If it's really a crossbow arrow, even if you can dodge the vital point, you won't only suffer this injury!" ā€

"Strategist, Liu Zhangjun's crossbow is a little strange, much smaller than ordinary crossbows, and it can shoot several arrows at a time, but the power is a little lacking!" Wei Yan hurriedly explained that he didn't want to have any misunderstanding with Sima Yi!

"Wen Chang doesn't have to be nervous, I didn't say anything!" Sima Yi sighed: "It seems that this kind of small crossbow is a newly developed weapon by Liu Zhangjun. ā€

Wei Yan asked, "Strategist, do you want to send someone to make some of that kind of small crossbow to study it?" ā€

"No need!" Sima Yi said with a smile: "Liu Zhangjun has not succeeded in researching, otherwise you will definitely not be able to come back!" ā€

"I see!" Wei Yan said: "Military Division, we have experienced this defeat, and many generals and soldiers in the army have become suspicious, what do you say to do now?" ā€

"It's okay, just stay for a while!" Sima Yi said with a smile: "Many of the sergeants and soldiers in our army are domestic slaves, and these domestic slaves only obey the orders of the family master, so they don't have to worry about loyalty at all." As long as the generals' health improves, we will be able to compete with Liu Zhangjun again! ā€

"That's great!" Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the morale of the army would go up. With the current situation, if the army no longer has morale, it will really become a luxury to break through the military pass!

"That's right!" Sima Yi asked: "Then after Pang Tong attacked our army, did he return to Wuguan?" ā€

"This..."Wei Yan shook his head and said: "According to the small school report, after Pang Tong attacked our army, he retreated directly to the west and did not enter the customs!" Presumably, he also wants to take the opportunity to sneak attack! ā€

"Alas!" Sima Yi sighed and said; "Wen Chang, it seems that the situation of our army is critical!"

"What do you mean?" Wei Yan said: "We have an army of 500,000, even if the consumption is deducted, there are more than 400,000, and Liu Zhang's army is only more than 100,000, what threat can we have to our army?" ā€

"You can't win a war with a lot of people! Terrain, strategy, equipment, cities, people's hearts, etc., are the key to the outcome of the battle, it depends on who grasps it better! Now that Liu Zhang's army occupies Xiongguan, it has outperformed us in terms of terrain and cities, and we only have troops, not an advantage at all! Sima Yi shook his head, his heart very gloomy. The stronger Liu Zhangjun is, the more unhappy he is in his heart!

"What the military advisor said is not right!" Wei Yan said with a smile: "Our army has another advantage, that is, you are the military advisor!" With your wisdom, are you afraid that you won't be able to clean up Liu Zhangjun? ā€

"Wen Chang, you look down on me!" Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Liu Zhang said that there are Wolong, Phoenix Chick, and Tomb Tiger in the world, and the strategies of the three are not much different, and I am Tomb Tiger." But this time, wouldn't it be dangerous for me, the mound tiger, to face the combination of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks? ā€

"What?" Wei Yan exclaimed; "Wolong also came to Wuguan? Didn't I hear that Liu Zhang asked him to be in charge of national government affairs, imitating the position of prime minister, how could he let him guard Wuguan? ā€

"Mostly for me!" Sima Yi sighed: "Feng Xiao is good at attacking, and guarding the pass is not his strong point. As for Wolong's talent, no one knows what it is, only that he has the talent of heaven and earth! It's not scary to have an opponent, the scariest thing is that you don't know the details of your opponent. Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, how can it not be dangerous? ā€

"Strategist, how should this be?" Wei Yan was also a little worried, he frowned and said, "Why don't you ask the prime minister to send another strategist to help you?" ā€

"I thought so!" Sima Yi said: "But no one under the command of the lord can compete with Wolong and Feng Xiaoyi!" Even Xun You and Jiang Ji are slightly inferior, unless they invite Master Cheng Yu! But Lord Cheng Yu is helping the lord clean up Liu Zhang at the Tiger Prison Pass, and Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Fa Zheng are not idle people! ā€

"How's that to be?" Wei Yan looked at Sima Yi with a worried face, he knew that Liu Zhang was very powerful, but he didn't know that Liu Zhang was so powerful. Suddenly, he felt weak, and he felt even more gloomy about his future!

"Wen Chang, don't worry, although our army is slightly at a disadvantage, it will still be difficult for Liu Zhang to defeat us!" Seeing that Wei Yan's face was confused, Sima Yi didn't want him to be discouraged, so he hurriedly spoke comfortingly. If the Lord has lost all his faith, what morale will there be among the soldiers under his command!

"Strategist, I'm fine!" Wei Yan took a deep breath, swept away the decadence in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Can we ask Jiangdong to help us?" ā€

"What do you have in mind, tell me about it?" Sima Yi knew that Wei Yan was quite resourceful, and he also wanted to hear Wei Yan's advice.

"Wuguan and Tiger Prison Pass are both Xiongguan, but the Jiangdong Army can bypass Liu Zhang's territory from Shangyong and Fuguan, if there is chaos in Liu Zhang's jurisdiction, won't we have a chance?" Wei Yan slapped his thigh, he felt that his method was very good!

"What the chief said is very true!" Sima Yi's eyes lit up, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about uniting Jiangdong, but he felt that Jiangdong was not very reliable. However, now that Cao Jun and Liu Zhangjun are in a stalemate, Jiangdong Jun has become a new force to break the deadlock!

"Should I contact Koto as soon as possible?" Seeing that Sima Yi also agreed with his opinion, Wei Yan was overjoyed, it was an honor for him to be praised by Sima Yi, because in his heart, only Sima Yi was the most worthy of his admiration in Cao Jun, even Cao Ying had to be ranked second!

"Send the envoys first, then the troops! Wen Chang, I will write to inform the Prime Minister of your decision, you go and prepare first, how about it! Sima Yi patted Wei Yan on the shoulder, a relieved smile on his face.

"My decision?" Wei Yan frowned and said, "Strategist, this is obviously your decision, I only provided some opinions!" ā€

"Wen Chang, you don't understand!" Sima Yi smiled bitterly: "The more capable you are, the more power you can wield, and the more capable I am, the easier it is to be suspicious of the prime minister." Instead of letting me be suspicious of the prime minister, it is better to let you be reused by the prime minister, with the relationship between you and me, isn't mine yours? ā€

"Thank you for the promotion!" Wei Yan knelt down on one knee and said, "I am determined to live up to your expectations!" ā€

"Good!" Sima Yi helped Wei Yan up, a glint flashed in his eyes, in fact, he didn't believe Wei Yan either, because Wei Yan was not from a big family!

A few days later, Sima Yi's recital was handed over to Cao Ying's handsome case, but Cao Ying looked at the recital but hesitated, he could see that Sima Yi's opinion was very correct, but Sima Yi said that this was Wei Yan's opinion. If Wei Yan really had such a mind, he would be with Sima Yi, which would give Cao Ying a little headache and even more regret!

"Zhongda, did you say that I made a mistake for letting Wei Yan and Sima Yi be together?" Cao Ying rubbed his temples, and he felt as if his head wind was starting to attack again.

"Not necessarily!" Holding the report, Cheng Yu sneered: "The ideas in the report may have Wei Yan's thoughts, but at least eighty percent of them are Sima Yi's decisions, it seems that Wei Yan has been subdued by him!" ā€

"Oh?" A cold light flashed in Cao Ying's eyes, he was wary of Sima Yi himself, and when he saw that Sima Yi dared to play tricks with him, his heart was filled with a burst of killing intent.

"The prime minister doesn't have to be angry, presumably Sima Yi is mainly for self-preservation!" Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "The strength of the family is too strong, and now the Sima family is like the leader of the family, and Sima Yi is talented, and he has the appearance of a wolf and an eagle." If he doesn't know how to avoid suspicion, that's strange! ā€

"Humph!" Cao Ying snorted coldly and said, "Is this so mediocre? ā€

"Prime Minister, it's not that you are mediocre, but that someone spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Sima Yi doesn't know that Cheng has always been very good to his own people, and he takes care of loyal people, and he doesn't have the consciousness of completely dedicating himself to the prime minister!" ā€

"You!" Cao Ying shook his head and said, "The good guy is also you, and the bad guy is also you, I don't know which one to listen to you!" Tell me, what should be done about this? ā€

"Everything works for the prime minister, what does it matter if the good guys are bad?" Cheng Yu said with a smile; "As for this matter, since Sima Yi wants to give credit to Wei Yan, the prime minister will praise Wei Yan and order Sima Yi to contact Jiangdong and attack Sili as soon as possible!"

"Just according to Zhongde's words!" Cao Ying did it on the side of the handsome case, waved it in the silk book, and called the small colonel to send it to Wuguan as soon as possible...
