Liu Wei asked about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, Sima Yi bowed, his eyes secretly glanced at the people in the hall, and then he said: "Your Majesty has already ordered General Xiahou to lead the three armies to meet the enemy. Liu Bei's army will soon arrive near the area of Bowang, the terrain of Bowang is complex, and there are many mountains and valleys, which is where our army set up an ambush! ”

"Bowang!" When Sima Yi mentioned the word Bowang, Liu Wei was stunned.

He remembered one thing, that is, when he was reading books in the past, he also learned that there was a battle during the Three Kingdoms period, called the Battle of Bowangpo.

In this battle, Zhuge Liang burned Xiahoudun's 100,000 soldiers and horses, causing Cao Cao to lose his troops.

Thinking of this, when he looked at Xiahoudun again, his eyes revealed some complexity.

The same warring parties, the same sequence of generals, the only difference is that the northern heroes who participated in this battle were not Cao Cao, but him Liu Wei.

was supposed to be Cao Cao's role, but it was replaced by Liu Bian, and Liu Bian actually muttered faintly in his heart.

The battle of Bowangpo, whether it can be fought or not.

If Zhuge Liang succeeds, 100,000 Han troops will be killed in the fire.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty have supported Liu Wei until now, no matter what, Liu Wei is unwilling to see the soldiers lose money for no reason.

Seeing that Liu Wei's face was entangled, Sima Yi clenched his fists and bowed, not daring to continue speaking.

Which of the people in the temple is not a character who is good at observing words and feelings?

found that Liu Wei's face was wrong, and they all remained silent one by one, refusing to express their stance lightly.

The silent atmosphere permeated the entire hall, Liu Wei did not say a word, and the ministers and generals in the hall were all like gourds with sawed mouths, and no one dared to take the lead in saying half a sentence that I didn't know if it was appropriate or not.

Tightly frowning, Liu Wei was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, since you proposed to start a war with Liu Bei in Bowang, you will assist General Xiahou this time." When to start the war and how to march is up to you! ”

Sima Yi was under Cao Cao's command in the past, and he was not reused at all, Liu Bei led the army to invade the Central Plains, and Liu Wei actually asked him to assist Xiahou Dun, and also gave him obviously more power than Xiahou Dun, so that all the people in the palace who originally belonged to Cao Cao were full of astonishment.

Many of them, although they all know that Sima Yi has some talents, but Cao Cao has always known people and is good at his duties, and he does not dare to appoint Sima Yi with important tasks, which must also have a deep meaning.

Even Cao Cao didn't dare to let go of the people who used it, Liu Wei dared to entrust such an urgent duty, it's not that Liu Wei has a greater bearing than Cao Cao, it's that this emperor is really crazy!

Everyone in the hall looked at Liu Bian, Xun Yu finally couldn't help but stand up, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Bian, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhong Da is young, although he is wise, but he is not old enough after all. His Majesty has entrusted him with such an important task......"

"Being young has its own advantages of being young!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei waved his hand at Xun Yu and said, "Zhongda is now a teenager, and I am also going to be a young and promising general. I don't ask about age, I only ask about talent! I had also talked about some big things with Zhong Da earlier, and Zhong Da was very comfortable with it. I just hope that this time I will go on the expedition with Yuan, don't let me down! ”

Liu Wei tried his best to defend him in front of many courtiers, Sima Yi was suddenly inexplicably moved in his heart, and hurriedly strode into the middle of the hall, bent his legs, knelt on the ground, looked at Liu Wei with his fists and said: "Thank you for your majesty's love, and the ministers will not disgrace their mission!" ”

Raising his hand towards Sima Yixu, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the people in the hall, and asked again: "What do you think, what is Zhongda's plan?" Can our army fight Liu Bei in Bowang? ”

"Since Zhong Da has chosen Bowang, it must be as simple as just repelling Liu Bei!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, a voice immediately took over his words.

Following the sound and looking over, what Liu Wei saw was a young scribe of the same age as Sima Yi.

He knew this scribe, and when he saw him for the first time, Liu Wei was very impressed by him.

This person is not someone else, it is Yang Xiu, who is a little arrogant and dares to say anything.

In terms of intelligence, Yang Xiu may not be the most outstanding one under Cao Cao to serve Liu Wei, but in terms of talent and learning, he is not inferior to most people.

Seeing Yang Xiu stand up, Liu Wei didn't say anything, just looked at him silently.

If you are any person, if you are looked at by Liu Wei like this, you will probably think more when you speak, but Yang Xiu is not someone else, Liu Wei looked at him, but he felt that it was an encouragement, encouraging him to continue talking.

Standing up, Yang Xiu first made a big salute to Liu Wei, and then asked Sima Yi: "Zhong Da chose Bowang, I don't know what the meaning is?" Can you analyze it in front of your majesty and everyone today? ”

is also an old acquaintance with this Yang Xiu, and Sima Yi knows his personality very well.

Glancing at Yang Xiu, the corners of Sima Yi's mouth tugged, and he did not refuse him, but said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, the area of Bowang is dangerous. If Liu Bei had crossed the Bowang Slope one step earlier, he would have stationed a large army in front of the slope to attract our army into the canyon, and then encircle and annihilate it. If Liu Bei hadn't passed through Bowangpo, but only confronted our army across the canyon, he would definitely have tried his best to introduce our army into the valley! ”

Listening to Sima Yi's analysis, Liu couldn't help but nod his head.

He is not very unfamiliar with the story of the burning of Bowang.

The fire he understood about burning Bowang was that Zhuge Liang took advantage of Cao Jun's carelessness to introduce Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses into the valley and burn it clean.

Of course, Liu Wei refused to make the same mistake a second time.

Sima Yi's analysis happened to talk about the hurdle that Liu Wei was most worried about.

Staring at Sima Yi, Liu Wei didn't interrupt him, just silently waited for him to continue.

Seeing that Liu Wei didn't mean to interrupt him, Sima Yi continued: "When our army arrives in Bowang, we can confront Liu Bei across the canyon. Liu Bei's army came from afar, and the grain and grass were not enough, so it would definitely not be able to support it for long, and our army was backed by the Central Plains and could allocate grain and grass at any time, even if it took three or five years with them, it would not be considered a tight ......."

"Could it be that Zhongda wants to spend three or five years with that Liu Bei?" Before Sima Yi's words were finished, Yang Xiu grinned and said, "In this way, it will cost a lot, and my Han military might will definitely be lost." If Zhong Da did this, wouldn't it be a break in the spirit of my Han soldiers? ”

Yang Xiu's questioning may have catered to the thoughts of many people in the hall.

Some people kept nodding their heads and whispering something to each other.

Sitting upright in the court, Liu Wei, who clearly heard Yang Xiu's questioning, looked indifferent, and gestured to Sima Yi to continue: "Zhong Da, go on!" ”

I wanted to argue with Yang Xiu, but when I heard Liu Wei ask him to continue, Sima Yi hurriedly continued: "The reason why the minister said that he wanted the army to confront Liu Bei was not really to divide and rule with them in Bowangpo for a long time. The minister's plan is to cut off Liu Bei's back road and completely wipe out this villain who weaves mats and sells shoes! ”

In the end, Sima Yi's tone was much colder than before, obviously he had a plan in his heart.

Staring at Sima Yi, Liu Wei didn't interrupt him, just silently waited for him to finish speaking.

When Sima Yi said that he wanted to completely wipe out Liu Bei, Liu Wei smiled slightly and asked, "Zhong Da thinks, how can Liu Bei be wiped out?" ”

"Under Liu Bei, there are not many people available, and the fierce generals are only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!" Facing Liu Wei, Sima Yi maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing and said: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are pure and loyal, they think that Liu Bei regards them as brothers, but they don't know that Liu Bei is just using them!" ”

Nodding slowly, Liu Wei didn't say anything, he knew that Sima Yi must have something to say behind him.

Yang Xiu on the side frowned slightly, and wanted to interject to say something out of place.

His mouth moved, and before the words could be spoken, Liu Wei had already waved his hand at him.

Seeing Liu Wei waving his hand to signal him not to speak, Yang Xiu picked up his fists, bowed deeply, and stepped aside.

Yang Xiu stepped aside, and Sima Yi glanced at him, his expression revealing a smug look that could not be concealed.

didn't care about the secret rivalry between the two, Liu Wei turned his gaze to Sima Yi again, although he didn't speak, his eyes told him that it was time for him to continue the topic just now.

Seeing Liu Wei's eyes, Sima Yi hurriedly bowed down and continued: "Guan Zhang and the others are loyal to Liu Bei, even if His Majesty solicits them, it is useless to think about it. This time Liu Bei came to attack, and the minister thought that he would definitely appoint Guan Zhang to enter the canyon first, and use them to lure our army to follow him. According to Liu Bei's temperament of fleeing for his life even if he abandoned his wife in the past, it was absolutely impossible for him to station the Chinese army too close to the canyon. Our army only needs to send a group of soldiers and horses, bypass Bowangpo, and attack Liu Bei's army from behind, even if Liu Bei cannot be captured alive, it will definitely make him dare not underestimate the Han soldiers! ”

"Liu Bei doesn't underestimate the soldiers of our army, I don't care very much!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei said to Sima Yi: "On this expedition, Zhongda helped some Xiahou generals, what I want is not to make that Liu Bei afraid, but to want his head!" ”

"The minister will do his best!" Liu Wei asked for Liu Bei's head, but Sima Yi became a little conservative, he clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply, and did not say too much, but just responded with all his might.

Liu Wei knew that Sima Yi was a man bent on stability, and sent him to intercept Liu Bei, just to let him have a confrontation with his future opponent Zhuge Liang.

As for whether he could get Liu Bei's head, Liu Wei didn't have too many expectations, so he didn't demand too much from Sima Yi, but just waved his hand at him and said, "Zhongda will do his best!" ”
