Chapter 428: Zhongda's Poison Plan
Cao Cao silently stared at Wei Tao's location, and no one could tell what Cao Cao was thinking at this time.
But Wei Tao is the same, he is also silent after a loud shout.
Everyone knows that as long as these two people open their mouths, I am afraid that a big war will be inevitable.
It is impossible for Wei Tao to retreat, so only Cao Cao retreats, otherwise he will fight.
For a while, all eyes were focused on that Cao Cao.
I saw Cao Cao staring for a while, and suddenly smiled, and then immediately turned around and ordered directly.
"Pass the old man's order, the former army will become the rear army, beware of the attack, we will withdraw!"
Cao Cao's order naturally no one dared to disobey, although there were also a few people who spoke to Cao Cao, but without Cao Cao's nod, no one dared to act at will, and they all retreated with Cao Cao.
As soon as Cao Cao retreated, the others naturally had nothing to say, Wei Tao wanted to defend first at this time, and then do his job after exhausting Cao's army's food and grass, so he naturally would not pursue.
It was supposed to be a big battle that lasted for a day, but it didn't happen, and everyone felt a little strange.
Up to now, the grain and grass in Cao's army are not good, so after Cao Cao ordered his generals to rectify their armaments, he immediately summoned all the generals and asked with a pair of eyes.
"Now our army is in such a predicament, the old man does not hide it, the day before the attack on the Wei camp can already be seen, under the same conditions, it is almost impossible to take the Wei Tao camp with our army's military strength, and this morning's battle, if you want to fight the general's method. Even if it is with the courage of the first. is no match for Wei Tao. Two wars down. Although the morale of the army has not been damaged at all, it is already not as high as the morale of the guards, so if we continue to fight, it will be a greater defeat for our army. ”
Hearing what Cao Cao said, all the advisers and generals looked at each other, but they didn't respond for a while.
Just as the strategists under Wei Tao's command couldn't win with their schemes. The same is true of Cao Cao's subordinates, all of whom don't know what to say.
Even Yang Xiu, who was the most arrogant and conceited, didn't dare to speak at this time.
It was a ploy before, which had already frustrated the extremely conceited Yang Xiu, and he didn't dare to say anything casually anymore.
"Lord, I may have a plan at my disposal, but please retreat and talk about it."
At this moment, Sima Yi suddenly spoke, but when he heard that Sima Yi was about to retreat from everyone, many people's faces suddenly changed.
The people who can be here can be said to be Cao Cao's henchmen, and now Sima Yi's words clearly mean that he does not trust them. How does this not irritate them?
For a while, many eyes were all shot on Sima Yi, but in the face of this. That Sima Yi was peaceful, and if he didn't see it, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"That's it, Zhongda stays, you wait for the military of each territory, and don't let the army because there is something wrong with this matter."
Finally, Cao Cao opened his mouth, Cao Cao said this, naturally no one dared not listen.
At the moment, except for Xu Chu is guarding outside the account, everyone is ten meters away from here, even if the tent is loud, it is not unhearable.
At this time, Cao Cao set his sights on Sima Yi.
"What is Zhongda's plan?"
As he spoke, Cao Cao stared at each other with a pair of eyes, pressed his sword with his right hand, and although he was still kneeling, a pressure arose out of thin air.
Cao Cao is not a soft-hearted character, and he doesn't know how many enemies he has killed for many years, and under this pressure, even with Sima Yi's temperament, he can't help but feel cold.
If what he said is inappropriate, it is very likely that he will be beheaded by Cao Cao on the spot!
For no reason, Sima Yi had such a feeling in his heart out of thin air.
But at this time, Sima Yi also knew that he had no way out, if he couldn't say a two, three, four, five, even if Cao Cao spared himself, the generals under Cao Cao would not let him go after being swept away by himself.
"Lord Qiqi, the guard army can still have 200,000 troops, such a huge army, if you want to break it in one fell swoop, you can only have water and fire."
Sima Yi immediately spoke, but when he heard this, Cao Cao also felt a little puzzled.
"Fire and water are ruthless, but here you can't attack with water, even if you attack with water, just the time to store water is insufficient, what Zhongda thinks about is using fire? However, Wei Tao is good at using fire to attack, and the most defensive is to attack with fire, how can he be defenseless? ”
"What the lord said is very true, but my method is different."
At this time, Sima Yi didn't sell anything anymore, and just opened his mouth.
In the past, the fire ox array used by Tiandan to break the Qi army was to use cattle and horses as the thing to ignite the fire, and then to cooperate with the army to move, it was to defeat the Qi army in one fell swoop. Now my strategy is also like this, which is to imitate the fire bull formation of Tiandan. ”
As soon as Sima Yi spoke, Cao Cao was even more puzzled.
"The fire bull array has long been lost, and Wei Tao also wanted to use it when he fought the Yellow Turban in the past, but in fact, the so-called fire bull is just to let the Yellow Turban Army lead the cattle into the battle on their own, and it is not a real fire bull array. If so, why not use it earlier? ”
Cao Cao has a suspicious temperament, and at this time he looked at Sima Yi with deep hesitation, if he was not convinced that Sima Yi was a scribe, even if he was old, but Sima Yi was definitely not his opponent, I am afraid that Cao Cao would have repelled him.
"Prime Minister Qiqi, the method of the Fire Ox Formation has been lost for a long time, and I don't know it, but I want to do this method, although it is not the Fire Ox Array, but it can also have the same effect!"
Hearing Sima Yi say this, Cao Cao's face gradually slowed down, and he stared at Sima Yi directly.
"It's the way, don't hide it!"
"No!"
Sima Yi arched his hand, and then slowly straightened his face.
"Lord, the so-called Fire Bull Array is as I said, its root is to cause fire, the real mystery is that the Fire Bull Rush itself is unstoppable, plus I don't know what mysterious method can drive its ears, in other words, if it can achieve its law, then it is no different from the Fire Bull Array."
"How do you get to be the same as the Fire Bull Formation?"
Cao Cao will either be deceived by a word or two.
"No matter how brave the fire ox is, how can it compare with the bravery and good fighting of the soldiers? No matter how much the fire bull obeys the command, how can it compare to the generals in the army? Now I have a method, which is to wear thick armor, and there is a hidden thing such as gunpowder in it, as long as I put my mind to it, once it is ignited, it will become a huge momentum. ”
Sima Yi's expression did not move, and he slowly came out of the methods he used one by one.
"As long as the lord chooses the brave soldiers from the army, and then takes it as the pioneer, wears a special thick armor and rushes into the Wei Tao army, and then can kill it by himself, no matter how brave Wei Tao is, it is also unstoppable, and after entering the army, it is to burn its fire, with thick armor barrier, even if he is wearing his fire, for a while, it can be guaranteed not to die, so rush to kill, who in the Wei Tao army dares to stop? But it was the situation that disturbed its formation, and then rushed to the place where its grain and grass were hoarded, and burned it. Although Wei Tao's food is above our army, it must not have more than ten days' food, and if it is burned, it must be fast! In my estimation, as long as there are 30,000 loyal and brave people, it should be possible! ”
"Hiss......"
Rao was Cao Cao's heart, and he couldn't help but gasp after listening to Sima Yi's strategy.
This plan is poisonous!
Cao Cao dared to be sure, if this plan leaked out, I am afraid that the army will rebel, and even the soldiers under his command will not agree, no wonder that Sima Yi is going to retreat from the people left and right, if this word spreads, I am afraid everyone will make a fuss.
"My lord, as the so-called death is put to death, and then reborn. If the princes of the past were still alive, the lord did this, not only easy to provoke many princes to besiege, but also lost the hearts of the people, it is impossible to do so, this is the way to seek death. ”
But at this time, Sima Yi still had a calm face, and said slowly, as if this poisonous plan was not from his mouth.
"But the world of Fang Tian is different, the princes in the world only have the lord and that Wei Taoer. As long as Wei Tao can be defeated, it is not too late to slowly clean up the world. As for the small grievances, as long as the lord gives a big compensatory afterwards, it is enough to calm it. ”
Cao Cao was Cao Cao after all, and he quickly calmed down, calmly listening to Sima Yi's words one by one.
With Cao Cao's wisdom, it is naturally not difficult to see that this strategy is not actually feasible, but this plan is a gamble, at least with the lives of 30,000 soldiers.
Not to mention whether the so-called special thick armor can be taken off after the fire, even if it can be taken off, where can you do so much work on the battlefield?
It can be said that once this plan is carried out, those 30,000 soldiers will not be able to escape death in any case.
Even if Cao Cao was originally ambitious, but when he really heard this plan, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart, this can be described as a desperate poisonous plan!
But at this time, Cao Cao also had to say that this plan can also be described as a real clever plan, as long as Wei Tao is not guarded, then it is very likely that he will be defeated by his own hands.
"Zhongda's plan is very good."
After a long time, Cao Cao finally spoke slowly.
After all, Cao Cao is ambitious, although he also cherishes his own soldiers, but he also has the determination to kill.
At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were firmly fixed on Sima Yi, and then he slowly got up, and then continued to speak after a slight silence.
"I am betting with Zhongda on this game, if I win, then I will keep the Han, based on this half of the Central Plains, there may not be no chance of a comeback in the future, if I lose, then I Cao Mengde is also willing to serve the Han with my own life!"
Seeing that Cao Cao had made up his mind, Sima Yi also got up and bowed to Cao Cao.
"Sima Zhongda is willing to follow the lord and his party, and the big thief is also!" (To be continued......)
