"Sima Zhongda! What do you think of the war in Soochow? Li Yu put down the letter, covered the quilt and asked casually, Sima Yi has the ability that even he is afraid of, and being able to listen to his thoughts at this time is very helpful to destroy Wu;

Sima Yi bowed modestly: "The student doesn't understand the situation, so he doesn't dare to speak rashly!" Otherwise... Smile generously! ”

"If you don't know, you don't have a voice, right? Xiahoudun! Kindness? At present, about 70,000 troops have been gathered in the area of Lingyang, the capital of Wu State, and the generals Lu Xun and Lu Meng are all there, as well as Lu Su, Buqi and others, which should not be underestimated;

Cheng Pu in the area of Huiji County, after being summoned by Sun Quan, also rushed desperately to this side, he also had sixty or seventy thousand troops in his hands, but he was stopped by Xu Huang and Wei Yan, and they fought fiercely with each other in the area of Damo for several days;

Xiahou Yuan, Lu Bin and Zhang Zhao went to Danyang County and Wu County to provoke a rebellion, gathered 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers, plus the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by themselves for a total of 60,000, Sun Quan was unable to block the shoreline of the Yangtze River waterway, and Xu Rong on the north bank had already led 100,000 troops to land, and stopped in the Shitai area to confront the Lu Xun Department of the Eastern Wu Army! ”

"Long-winded!" , Li Yu shook his head, that is, he dared to talk to Xiahoudun like this, and he still used the tone of teaching the younger generation: "You just said that Sun Quan is now defending on all fronts, retreating to the front line of Lingyang, and giving up most of the entire Yangzhou, isn't it over?" ”

"Uh...", Xiahoudun touched his nose, and then his expression was a little gloomy: "I'm afraid Sun Quan's idea of retreating to Lingyang is like last time, right?" ”

Last time, it was Cao Cao's defeat in Lingyang, the 400,000 army was almost completely lost, and the Wei State was defeated and retreated, which caused turmoil, and Cao Cao's death was also very inseparable from that war, which has always been something that the Wei people avoided, and few people dared to use it as a talking point;

"The battle of Lingyang cannot be replicated, it is full of luck and uncertainty like the battle of Nanjun, our army currently has the advantage, whether it is morale or strength, on the other hand, Eastern Wu has just lost the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu, the army is in turmoil, and they still lack good generals to carry out the strategy...", Li Yu muttered quietly, and turned his gaze to Sima Yi;

Sima Yi knew that Li Yu was asking him what he thought, and grinned: "The most important thing in the national war is national strength and people's strength, because the foundation laid by Wei over the years is very strong, whether it is about population strategy or other aspects, Wei has to do better than Wu and Shu, and he can see how much value these seemingly thankless things can create;

It is precisely because of this that although we have fought a lot of defeats and lost a lot of soldiers and horses, we have always firmly occupied the active position, such as the defeat of Wu and Nanjun, their foundation has been lost, and there is no capital to enter the Central Plains, that is, self-protection now seems to be a little insufficient!

Judging from the meaning of the following, there is no need to rush in this battle, just take your time, break into Lingyang City to confront them, cut off their food and grass supply sources, and sooner or later they will collapse without a fight, this is a long-term strategy;

On the contrary, if you attack, the soldiers and horses that Sun Quan can gather around him must be real diehards, and if you fight with this kind of person, the casualties will be very large, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

"Ahem...", Li Yu coughed a few times, and his rapid wheezing made a few tears fall from the corners of his eyes, choking enough, and after calming down for a long time, Li Yu thought about this matter carefully: "Zhongda! Is there a charter for the specific implementation plan? ”

Sima Yi lowered his eyebrows and replied obediently: "It's nothing more than to solve Cheng Pu's army first, make Sun Quan isolated, and then send troops out of Shitai, Dongzhi, Taiping, and Guichi, and then push it flatly, surround Lingyang, and put pressure on them, and there is no shortage of resourceful people in Eastern Wu They will see through this plan, and then they will send out to march... Here's your chance! ”

"Good!" , Li Yu nodded in admiration, and ordered Xiahoudun and Xu Chu in the tent to go down, he wanted to have a deep talk with Sima Yi, or Li Yu changed his senses, he wanted to support Sima Yi, after all, history is not necessarily right;

"Zhongda! Do you feel aggrieved? The corners of Li Yu's mouth were slightly upturned, looking at Sima Yi sincerely, Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a ghostly gesture, he did feel very aggrieved, he was a talented person, but he could never show his ambitions, everyone was not fake to him, and they didn't like him;

"Huh! That's right! How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Li Yu smiled: "There is no shortage of resourceful people in the Wei State, but unfortunately there are no top resourceful people, I am talking about the younger generation;

We old guys are all old, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu are all people who are going to be eighty years old, Zang Hong, Xun Yu, Xun You, Tian Feng, Xun Yu are also not young, and there are only two people who can be of great use to a slightly younger person in my eyes! You, Pang Tong. ”

Sima Yi was taken aback and then said humbly: "Yang Dezu, Pingyuan Hou, Hua Xin, and Dong Zhao are also rare good materials and beautiful jade, and they dare not compare with them..."

"Excessive humility is artificiality! Zhongda! Yang Xiuqi, when he was young, the road was crooked, and no one has corrected him, although I have pointed out a sentence or two, but his achievements are already very limited, and a Jiuqing position may be the highest level he can achieve;

Cao Zhi... If I don't care about teaching him, he will be unkempt, how can national affairs be child's play? I really don't dare to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, maybe... He's still a little shy away! Hua Xin, hehe! He can be used as a spear by you, and he will not be much better;

It's not bad that Dong Zhao is good, but unfortunately his character is not very good, and he doesn't lack resourcefulness, but he is more enthusiastic about the power of the court, which I hate very much; Speaking of which, the only ones who can be entrusted with the important task are Pang Shiyuan and you, Pang Shiyuan is proficient in military strategy, and between the two battles, he is like a marshal, who is not familiar with personnel and political affairs, which is his biggest weakness...

Sima Yi, I have seen your talent in political affairs, which is very good, but what about military strategy? In this battle to destroy Wu, I plan to entrust you with all the details, you... You ready? ”

"Bang!" , Sima Yi bowed down: "Thank you Mr. for cultivating!" ”

"That's it! If you play too much of this kind of thing, you will be buried! Get up! Zhongda! I have never heard of a sentence called - ten years of sharpening the sword without showing its edge, once the sword is released, the world will shake! After honing you for so many years, it's time for you to show it! Li Yu said with a smile;

Sima Yi got up and arched his hand: "I thought I would never be able to wait for the day when I showed up, the biggest sorrow in life is not mediocrity, but the lack of talent..."

"You're right! Hehe! Any idea why so many people don't like you? Li Yu tilted his head, his face was frivolous, Sima Yi shook his head to say that he didn't know, Li Yu admitted calmly: "It's because the first emperor didn't like you, I... I don't like you either! ”

Sima Yi's face turned pale several times, and finally put on his signature paralyzed face, Li Yu sighed: "Sometimes you are so sophisticated that we think you don't have a pure heart, and... Don't be clever, there are too many talented and wise people in this world, and someone will always see the other side of you!

Your way of hiding is annoying, annoying, and your means are also very low-level, tsk! Look at Jia Xu's old man, and then look... Bonghyo, and me, we will never hide our feelings, nor will we let ourselves have no weaknesses at all, the most important thing is... Sima's house! ”

Sima Yi's face changed, he seemed to understand why Cao Cao, Li Yu, Cao Pi and others didn't like him, not because he was not talented enough, not because it was not because he was employed... Not at all, just because of his loyalty problems!

What is the purpose that the family of scholars has always adhered to? Family interests above all else! Higher than the king, higher than the emperor! This doomed their loyalty to be questionable! What about the king who likes the disloyal? No matter how talented you are, you can't do it!

Whether it is Cao Cao or Li Yu, the current Cao Pi has always implemented the strategy of suppressing the scholars, never giving up, never relaxing, the slightest change will be the purge of the army, absolutely iron-blooded! Countless small families have disappeared into invisible, medium decline...

Sima Yi is still young, he never thought of this link, Wei now has the four largest clans, Hedong Cui clan, Hongnong Yang clan, Hanoi Sima clan, Yingchuan Xun clan, these are the four major families;

If it weren't for Yang Xiu who had taken refuge in Cao Pi early when he saw the opportunity, he was afraid that he would die early, and Hongnong Yang would be gone, Hedong Cui's family, in order to suppress them, Cao Cao directly killed Cui Yan who had worked hard at that time, and severely suppressed Hedong Cui's family, these two families have declined;

Now the stronger one is the Yingchuan Xun family, because there are two Xun, Xun Yu and Xun Yu have not been suppressed, but the Xun family are all smart people, they know that in the court, the second Xun is already a very human minister, and the favor is extreme;

In further, the steps are too big and easy to pull the eggs, so except for Er Xun as an official, everyone else is honest and honest, they know in their hearts that after Er Xun Zhishi, in order to compensate them Cao Pi will not treat them badly, he will definitely choose Xun's people to make up for them;

Their interesting and low-key style is very pleasing, so Cao Pi didn't do anything about their family, but the Sima family took advantage of the decline or retirement of other families, took the opportunity to rise, recruited a lot of people, and formed a party for personal gain...

They are too high-profile, high-profile people, high-profile work, and it is strange that they don't annoy people! There are not a few people who have entered the Sima family as officials, these people have a little talent, and the real talent is Sima Yi, without Sima Yi Cao Pi can clean up the Sima family as much as he wants, and with him it is different, so he has been suppressed;

"Got it? The Sima family is very popular, I will talk to your brother Sima Lang, the Sima family is facing you alone! If not... I really have a way to deal with you noble families, and I guarantee that you will be very uncomfortable! Li Yu murmured casually;

What he said was pure bragging, he did have a plan to implement the imperial examination system, but the disaster left by the imperial examination system is the same, the family will be transformed into a squire power, as the so-called defeat of a me, there are thousands of me, as long as the monarchy still exists, the scholar family will exist forever;

But Sima Yi was dripping in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to disbelieve it in his heart, according to what he thought, what was Li Yu best at? Holding high the butcher's knife, shouting loyalty to the Wei State, and directly destroying them, even if Li Yu was killed by them, the price they paid was quite heavy;

Li Yu has a lot of ideas that have not been realized, he has always wanted to devote himself to the implementation of the imperial examination system, this idea is because there are many poor students like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai in the world, what if it weren't for Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai in troubled times? Depressed?

He also promised to open a medical center for Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, and now his promise is like a fart, there is no action yet, he still has a lot of things to do, a lot...

……

……

Lingyang, the capital of Wu State, the scene of panic in the city...

In the palace, Sun Quan was dressed in a sketch, kneeling in the ancestral hall of the Sun family, he had just worshiped Zhou Yu, came to his father and brother's spirit card, thinking, this failure can be said that Zhou Yu has a great responsibility, and it can also be said that this responsibility was imposed on him by Sun Quan;

Everything Sun Quan attributed him to the will of heaven, in his opinion, Zhou Yu was invincible, there could be no such failure, he couldn't even believe his ears when he got the news;

It is true that he has always doubted Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu's merits are too great, his prestige is too great, and he is a very popular minister, but he has nothing to reward him, these are all factors that Sun Quan is afraid of and suspicious of Zhou Yu, but when Zhou Yu died, Sun Quan cried, just like his brother died;

Zhou Yu, the pillar of Jiangdong, everything is fine with him in Jiangdong, and now the pillar stone is falling, what next... Is the house collapsing?

"Report ——! Xu Rong, the general of the Cao army, led an army of 100,000 to cross the Yangtze River, and it has approached the area of Dongzhi! ","Report ——! General Cheng Pu was stopped by the troops led by Cao Jun Xu Huang and Wei Yan in Damo City, and the two sides fought fiercely..."

"Report ——! Wu County, Danyang County and other places have rebelled one after another, Xiahou Yuan... Zhang Zhao meets with the scholars...", "Report——! Xiahoudun led the army to approach, and he had already arrived in the area of Pengze, and Li Yu, the captain of Wei, went out with the army! ”

Unlike Cao Pi's arrival, Cao Pi would feel joy, while Sun Quan could only feel sadness, he straightened up for a long time, waved his sleeves, and said majestically: "I know!" Step aside! ”

Sun Quan is also a tenacious person, as long as there is still a breath, he will never be caught, looking at the spiritual position of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, Sun Quan's eyes became more and more firm, and murmured: "Dongwu is the foundation of the Sun family for three generations, and his father and brother are all heroes, will I become the king of the dead country when I Sun Zhongmou comes here?" ”

"Your Majesty! The Prime Minister asks to see you! Xiao Huangmen whispered, Prime Minister, the Prime Minister of Eastern Wu is Lu Su, the conscientious man, Sun Quan was expressionless: "Zhao come in!" ”

"Minister, Lu Su, knock to see Your Majesty!" , Lu Su's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and the whole person looks a little less energetic;

"Zijing! What are you here for? Sun Quan asked;

Lu Su arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Dongwu... It's time for the hardest! Please also ask Your Majesty to cheer up, raise the account to the general, and resist the Cao army! Soldiers are waiting for Your Majesty! ”

Sun Quan got up, picked up the sword, and pulled it out with a bang, the cold light was dazzling, "Huh!" After returning the sword to the sheath, Sun Quan walked out: "The descendants of the Sun family will never surrender!" ”
