Time passed very quickly, and the Yangtze River was guarded by Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, and Lu Xun, and the Jiangdong Army did not advance an inch at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Under the info martial arts, although Lu Bu was brave, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were just stubbornly defending, and Cao Ying was helpless. Originally, Sima Yi still wanted to use a strategy, but Guan Yu and Huang Zhong suffered several defeats in a row, and almost lost the martial arts, even the most reckless Zhang Fei was unwilling to fight casually, plus Fa Zheng arrived, none of Sima Yi's strategies succeeded, and Cao Ying was anxious enough.

"Lord, withdraw your troops!" After staying under Wuguan for three months without progress, Sun Quan did not contribute to the work, and he had been away from Shouchun for a long time, and the family of Shouchun began to be funny again, and Cao Ying's advisers began to suggest retreating.

"Ladies and gentlemen, retiring from the army is a trivial matter, but how can you be willing to withdraw like this?" Cao Ying looked at everyone, his eyes were full of cold light. He has fought all his life, and every time Liu Zhang participates, he will definitely lose, and he really doesn't want to escape.

"Prime Minister, we can't continue, if we don't leave, we will be cheaper Liu Zhang!" Sima Yi didn't want to withdraw from the army, but he found some clues, but he couldn't leave it!

"Why?" Sima Yi has always wanted to share a high and low with Wolong and Feng Yan, but now he is just a Fa Zheng, and he will guard the Wuguan, and Cao Yi knows that he is not reconciled. Now, even Sima Yi has asked to withdraw from the army, and Cao Ying is a little puzzled.

"Alas..."Sima Yi sighed and said: "I don't know if the prime minister has found out, at the beginning, Liu Zhang's army was very strong, and even if our army attacked with all its might, it would suffer." After Fa Zheng came, Liu Zhangjun's combat power weakened for a while, and then slowly became stronger. Prime Minister, why did this happen? ”

"Could it be..." Cao Ying's face changed, and his eyes suddenly sharpened when he looked at Sima Yi, and he asked in a deep voice: "Zhong Da, if your words are correct, won't our army be able to defeat Liu Zhang?" ”

"No!" Sima Yi said: "Prime Minister, Liu Zhang's strength has been able to use our army for training, but there must be a reason why he still hasn't launched a large-scale war." I suspect he wants to do something big, and this big thing will make him face an enemy like never before, and he's preparing! ”

"The Great Enemy?" Cao Ying frowned and asked: "There are only three princes left in the world, Benxiang, Sun Quan, and Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang can even use his own appearance to train soldiers, you won't say that he is afraid of Sun Quan! ”

"Sun Quan? Jumping beam clown ears! How could Liu Zhang take him in his eyes! Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Actually, the prime minister's problem is exactly what I can't figure out." In this world, apart from the prime minister, who else needs Liu Zhang to be so guarded! ”

"Prime Minister, the old minister seems to have understood!" Cheng Yu, who was sitting at the bottom of his hand, listened to Sima Yi's words, and said thoughtfully: "Liu Zhang has always been true to the family, is he going to do it to the family again?" ”

"The family under Liu Zhang's command has been crippled by him, what else does he want to do? You can't kill all the big families! Cao Ying shook his head, his face full of doubts.

"The lord is in a hurry, listen to me slowly!" Cheng Yu said: "Recently, I heard that Liu Zhang is carrying out some reforms, canceling all the three princes and nine secretaries, but there are more than a dozen ministries. It's not quite clear, but the benefits are obvious. But isn't it strange that he has carried out so many reforms, but no one has objected? ”

"Since there are benefits, naturally no one will object, what's so strange about that?" Cao Ying was very dissatisfied with Cheng Yu's behavior of selling Guanzi, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhongde, if you have something to say, don't hide it!" ”

"Subordinates know their mistakes!" Cheng Yu said with a smile: "The reason why Liu Zhang's reform has not been opposed is because he has already swept away the obstacles before the reform!" As the lord said, the family under Liu Zhang's rule lost their land, domestic slaves, and was even disbanded into houses, and even if they opposed it, they had no power. But if what Liu Zhang is going to do infringes on the interests of the world's families, even if no one under Liu Zhang's command objects, the lord and the family under Sun Quan's rule are twisted into a rope, which is enough to make Liu Zhang unable to eat and walk around! ”

"Liu Zhang wants to go against the world's families?" Cao Ying's eyes widened in horror, although he was also very jealous of the family, but he only dared to slowly figure it out, and he didn't dare to think about it, because he knew the energy of the family.

"That's the only explanation!" Sima Yi wanted to scoff at Cheng Yu's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was really possible. Sima Yi didn't know whether to praise Liu Zhang's ambition or laugh at his ignorance! In Sima Yi's view, to be against the world's family is to be against the people of the world, because the family represents the world! It's a pity that in Liu Zhang's heart, the people of the world are the people of the world, and the family is the source of disturbing the stability of the world!

"Does the family have so much power?" Hearing that Liu Zhang was afraid of the family, Cao Ying's heart turned upside down, he knew the strength of the family, but he didn't expect the family to be so powerful, and he also had a trace of impulse to hold the power of the family in his hands. If he can master this power, he believes that Liu Zhang will not be his opponent!

"Absolutely!" Cheng Yu frowned and said, "The power of the family has always been very strong, but the royal family can't control it. It is no exaggeration to say that if you master the family, you can master the world! However, the strength of the family is a double-edged sword, and if you don't use it well, you are likely to hurt yourself! ”

"If you lose in the hands of Liu Zhang, everything will be over!" Cao Ying sneered: "Zhongda, I remember that you are also a member of the big family, it is better for you to come forward to persuade the families and work together with Ben Xiang to clean up Liu Zhang." When the world is unified, this phase guarantees that the Sima family is the first family of the Han Dynasty. Of course, second only to the Cao family and the Xiahou family! ”

"This..."Sima Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "In this case, let's try it next!" However, please also ask the prime minister to withdraw from the army! If Liu Zhang doesn't launch reforms, I want to say that it will be difficult to move the family! ”

Cao Ying smiled: "Okay! With Zhongda's help, why worry about the great cause? Pass the order, pack your bags, and get ready to retreat! ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Cao Ying was as good as a stream, all the ministers were very happy, but Cheng Yu's face was full of worry, he knew the disadvantages of the family, but he couldn't say it directly, his face was naturally not good-looking!

"If nothing else, step aside!" Cao Ying waved his hand and asked everyone to leave the big tent, and just as Cheng Yu was about to walk out of the big tent, he suddenly shouted: "Zhongde stays, the prime minister still has something to order!" ”

"Yes!" Even if Cao Ying doesn't call himself, Cheng Yu is ready to come back later, since Cao Ying is called, he is happy to stay!

"Zhongdeok, are you very dissatisfied with Benxiang's decision?" Everyone left, Cao Ying drove out the waiters and maids, only Xu Chu was guarding outside the tent, but his words startled Cheng Yu.

"Why did the lord say this? The minister has always been loyal..."Cheng Yu hurriedly opened his mouth to defend, and Cao Ying waved his hand to stop him.

"I didn't say you were unfaithful!" Cao Ying said with a smile: "When the prime minister said just now that he wanted to unite the family family, the dissatisfaction in your heart was written on your face!" ”

"This..."Cheng Yu smiled bitterly: "The prime minister's eyes are like torches, how dare the minister deceive." The minister was indeed a little dissatisfied in his heart just now, but the minister did not have the slightest selfishness, it was completely for the prime minister's great cause! ”

"Zhongde, you've been following me for twenty years!" Cao Ying patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder, and suddenly changed from a high-ranking prime minister to an ordinary person!

"Twenty-five years!" Cheng Yu sighed: "I was less than forty back then, and now I am in my sixties, I really don't know if I can wait until the day when the prime minister will unify the world!" ”

"Yes, surely!" Cao Ying smiled and said: "Zhongde, if we fight slowly step by step, let alone unify the world, whether we can protect ourselves will be a problem." But if the power of the family can be used by us, Liu Zhang will have to bow down! I don't see, Liu Jiyu is arrogant, but when he meets the family, he will be in the bag! ”

"But the family is not so easy to use!" Cheng Yu said: "If you want to use them, you have to give them benefits." The more benefits are given, the greater their power. At that time, even if the prime minister unifies the world, it will lead to instability in the world, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid!" Cao Ying said with a smile: "I want to provoke the family to merge with Liu Zhang, and the two tigers will be injured if they fight." At that time, we will kill the injured tiger first, and then clean up the dead tiger, and the world will be ours! I'm only worried about whether the family can fight with Liu Zhang! ”

"The prime minister wants to be a fisherman?" Cheng Yu frowned, understanding Cao Ying's plan, but he was a little worried. The strength of the family is strong, if it is easy to invite the gods, it will be difficult to send the gods, and the trouble will be big!

"Yes!" Cao Ying smiled and nodded: "Now that Liu Zhang is powerful, I can only suppress him by using more powerful power." What's more, the family has such a powerful power, if it is not weakened, I will not be able to sleep at night! ”

"This..."Of course, Cheng Yu understood Cao Ying's thoughts, he smiled slightly: "The prime minister is all heartbroken, if I don't understand, wouldn't I be worthy of being a strategist under the prime minister." It's just that the prime minister should be careful, the family is not so simple! ”

"Zhongde can rest assured of this!" Cao Ying smiled and said: "I am most afraid of Liu Zhang, even he is afraid of things, how can I underestimate it?" However, the question now is, does our military quartermaster need to retreat? ”

"Withdrawal is inevitable, we don't need to be here anymore!" Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, the calm before the storm was always full of pressure.

"In that case, you should also go and prepare!" Cao Ying shrugged his shoulders, he just wanted to enlighten Cheng Yu and find a reason not to retreat by the way. But Cheng Yu figured it out, but he couldn't give him a reason to stay, and he was quite disappointed. However, disappointment is disappointment, and he will not be angry with others.

"Subordinates retire!" Cheng Yu understood Cao Ying's thoughts, untied the knot, and left the big tent with a smile on his face.

Cao's army was in a hurry, and the 400,000 army had to retreat, and there must be a lot of work to do. Under normal circumstances, the more secretive the retreat, the better, but Cao Ying ordered everyone under his command to make as much noise as possible, not only to let the friendly troops in Jiangdong know, but also to let Liu Zhangjun on the Wuguan know. Of course, this is just that Cao Ying disagrees that he has made no progress, and wants to give Liu Zhangjun a ruthless blow before leaving...
