Kuai Yue dared to go out of class to speak, and naturally he had a plan in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. Because Kuaiyue's plan was to make Cao Pi abdicate and invite Liu Xie to re-ascend the throne, and only in this way could the three families lose the reason to concentrate their fire on the attack. If you go further, you can also cede the imperial throne to Nan Ye, who is the strongest, and then unite with Sun Quan and Liu Bei to crusade against Nan Ye.

These strategies turned and turned in Kuai Yue's heart, but he didn't spit out. Because he knew that Cao Pi would definitely not want to abdicate, even if these strategies were adopted by Cao Pi, he would not have a good life in the future. So when he heard Cao Pi ask about the plan, Kuai Yue replied: "Weichen is short-sighted and has no good strategy, but he knows that one person may have a good plan." ”

Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Who is Aiqing talking about? ”

Kuai Yue said: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Xun Lingjun for advice." "The reason why Kuai Yue recommended Xun Yu, who was sick at home, was because there were some things that Kuai Yue couldn't say, but Xun Yu, who was high enough, could say it, and because Xun Yu didn't agree with Cao Pi as emperor at the beginning, Kuai Yue estimated that Xun Yu would use the same strategy as himself.

Cao Pi frowned slightly when he heard Xun Yu's name, and before the war, Xun Yu offered three strategies, one was to increase the troops in Xuchang, the second was to bring back Liu Xie, and the third was to recall Sima Yi. Among these three plans, only the return of Liu Xie was relatively smooth, and now Liu Xie has been secretly arranged in a village outside Yecheng. Xuchang increased his troops and temporarily blocked the three-way army, but in the end he was defeated. As for Sima Yi, for some reason, he has not yet returned.

Cao Pi felt that Xun Yu's strategy was not very useful, and he was a little dissatisfied with Kuai Yue's proposal. In fact, there are many reasons why Cao Pi doesn't want to use Xun Yu, such as Xun Yu is Cao Cao's old minister with high power, even if Cao Pi has to maintain respect in front of Xun Yu. For example, Xun Yu once opposed Cao Pi as emperor, and even stopped taking care of politics because of his illness. But at this time, Xun Yu was not allowed to conspire, and Cao Pi really couldn't think of any way to solve the menacing three-way army once and for all.

Just when Cao Pi hesitated, the warrior in front of the palace came to report: "Sima Dudu has led the army to the city, and he is asking to see His Majesty outside the palace at this time." ”

When Cao Pi heard that Sima Yi was back, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. With Sima Yi and Cao Pi, there was no need to ask Xun Yu for advice, and Sima Yi was summoned to the palace at that time.

After a while, Sima Yi walked up to the hall wearing armor, although Sima Yi at this time had a frosty face, his eyes were like an eagle, faintly exuding a kind of coercion, even surpassing many generals.

Cao Pi saw His Royal Highness Sima Yi saluting, and hurriedly said: "Sima Dudu has a lot of hard work all the way to fight, please hurry up." I have something important to discuss with the governor......"

When Sima Yi heard Cao Pi say that the three-way army had broken through Xuchang and won Sanzhou, and was coming to Yecheng, there was not much panic on his face, and he smiled at Cao Pi and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. The minister sent troops to Liaodong this time, not only recovering the land of Liaodong, but also allied with Wuhuan and Xianbei, borrowing 30,000 Xianbei cavalry and 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry. There are 50,000 horses in Liaodong and 50,000 horses in Youzhou, and 50,000 horses and ministers return together. Nan Ye, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are all like clowns jumping off the beam, and they are not to be feared. ”

Cao Pi had already gathered 200,000 horses in Yecheng, plus Sima Yi's 150,000 troops, the total number of soldiers and horses reached 350,000, which was more than the soldiers and horses of Nan Ye, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan combined. Cao Pi said with peace of mind at that time: "There is a governor who returns to the city to lead the troops, and I don't have to worry about it!" I'm afraid that the three soldiers and horses will go and return, Jizhou will continue to fight, can the governor have a clever plan once and for all? ”

Sima Yi glanced at the Chinese Wu of the Hall and said, "Weichen has already made up his mind, but the plan is complicated, not for a moment. Please also ask Your Majesty Rong Weichen to go back to bathe and change clothes, and then enter the palace to talk to Your Majesty. ”

Cao Pi saw Sima Yi's actions and knew that he was avoiding the palace ministers in the name of rest. Anyway, the immediate crisis has been solved, and Cao Pi is not in a hurry, so he nodded and said: "The governor has not returned for many days, and it is not too late to return home to rest and reunite first." With that, he dismissed the court meeting.

When several civil and military officers who were good friends with Sima Yi saw Cao Pi leaving, they stepped forward to ask Sima Yi what his plan was. Sima Yi just smiled and didn't answer, if he asked again, Sima Yi said that he was tired all the way. When the crowd saw that they could not ask anything, they dispersed.

In the evening, a palace guard came to report to Cao Pi and said: "Governor Sima asks to see Your Majesty outside the palace gate!" ”

Cao Pi heard the news that someone would quickly invite Sima Yi into the study of the inner palace, and at the same time he would retreat from the people's screen, and Cao Pi and Sima Yi were left to sit opposite each other in the huge study, except for the crackling sound of the lamp and candle burning, the whole room was silent. Cao Pi broke the silence and asked Sima Yi: "Sima Dudu doesn't say anything during the day, but is he worried about the leakage of things?" ”

Sima Yi had already changed into a scribe's makeup at this time, but the gorgeous and soft clothes could not hide the murderous aura on Sima Yi's body. I saw Sima Yi nodding slightly and said: "The minister has a plan that can not only make the three-way soldiers and horses self-defeating, but also make Nan Ye, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan suspicious of each other. It's just that this plan is too vicious to be said explicitly in the temple. ”

When Cao Pi heard that he had such a good plan, he directly ignored the word "evil" mentioned by Sima Yi, and asked excitedly: "What is the governor's plan?" ”

Sima Yi asked Cao Pi rhetorically: "Your Majesty, do you know that Ertao can kill Sanshihu?" ”

Of course, Cao Pi knew that the allusion of the two peaches killing the three soldiers was that Qi Jinggong gave two peaches to the three warriors under his command, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi, and ate the merits, but the three of them abandoned the peach and committed suicide after fighting for merit. At this time, Sima Yi obviously used the three scholars to secretly guide Ye, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, and Cao Pi was puzzled: "I also know that peaches can kill, but I can't help but have no peaches in my hands." ”

Sima Yi smiled when he heard this: "The position of the Son of Heaven is the biggest peach in the world. ”

Cao Pi was even more confused at this time: "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters for the people." There is only one position of the Son of Heaven, how can there be two peaches? ”

Sima Yi explained: "Your Majesty can cede the imperial throne to Liu Bei, and the edict says that Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family who deserves this position, and this peach is also." His Majesty sent the jade seal to Sun Quan again, and said that the jade seal was obtained by Sun Jian, and Sun Quan's destiny returned, and these two peaches were also. The two of them will be called the emperor if they get these two peaches, but Nanye's soldiers are strong and general, but they can't get peaches, so they will compete with the two, so Your Majesty has no worries. ”

Cao Pi can judge from a rational point of view that Sima Yi's plan is good, but emotionally he is a little unhappy with the matter of Zen concessions, and he has not had enough of this emperor's addiction. Cao Pi frowned and asked Sima Yi: "Zen let Liu Bei, how should I deal with myself?" ”

How could Sima Yi not know what Cao Pi was thinking, so he persuaded him: "Your Majesty can temporarily retire from the throne and wait for the time of day." There will be damage to the three families fighting, and His Majesty can take advantage of the situation at that time to regain the land of the three states and then ascend to the great treasure. This plan is no different from when His Majesty first crowned three people as kings, and then proclaimed himself king. ”

Cao Pi is right to think about it carefully, although the position of this emperor is prominent, it is not as important as his own life, not to mention that there is a chance to be the emperor again in the future. Agreeing with Sima Yi's strategy in his heart, Cao Pi asked again: "Liu Bei is known for his benevolence and righteousness, if he doesn't fall for the strategy, what if I want to stay in Liu Xie?" ”

Sima Yi sneered when he heard this: "This is where the evil of what the minister said. As long as His Majesty secretly sent someone to kill the old and young of Shanyang Gong's family first, Liu Bei had to fall for this plan. ”

Cao Pi was shocked when he heard this: "No! Never! Wouldn't this harm the royal sister's life? Besides, once this matter is revealed, it will inevitably stench for 10,000 years. ”

Sima Yi naturally knew that Cao Pi's sister was married to Liu Xie, and he knew the risks of this matter, but he was completely sure to persuade Cao Pi. Sima Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, has it been forgotten that Empress Cao turned against His Majesty when she ascended the throne? At that time, she didn't care about the love of brother and sister. As for the leakage of secrets, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it, just leave it to Weichen to handle. ”

Cao Pi struggled in his heart for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then there will be Lao Sima Dudu!" ”

Sima Yi smiled slightly, and a pair of eagle eyes narrowed into a slit and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

When Sima Yi returned to the mansion, it was already late at night, but he did not go into his bedroom, but came to the backyard. At the foot of the backyard of the mansion was a nondescript hut that looked like a firewood house, with a rusty lock hanging from the leaky wooden door.

Sima Yi came to the door alone, opened the lock with the bronze key he carried with him, and entered the hut. There were indeed piles of firewood more than a man tall in this room, but they did not fill the room, but only a few bundles stood by the wall, which seemed to be running out. Sima Yi walked over to a bundle of firewood and gently removed it, revealing the wall behind the firewood, and lightly tapped it on the wall a few more times. If ordinary people don't pay attention, they can't find that these few strokes contain a certain rhythm.

"Squeak~" sounded, and a gap opened in the wall with Sima Yi's knock, and a narrow and low secret door was revealed. This secret door can only be opened from the other side, and it has been narrow to a certain extent, even the emaciated Sima Yi has to turn sideways to enter.

Behind the secret door is another courtyard, which is the house next door to Sima Yi's mansion from the location. Two emaciated dead men dressed in black bowed down behind the secret door and bowed their heads and said, "Meet the second son!" Although I couldn't see the faces of the two people, I could tell that the two dead men were actually two women by listening to the soft voice.

Of course, the black-clothed dead soldiers trained by Sima Yi were not only women, but the proportion of women was definitely quite large, because when performing certain tasks, women were more likely to approach the target than men, making the target relax their vigilance. Sima Yi said to the two black-clothed dead men guarding the door: "You wait to find Jiangbai, I'll wait in the study." With that, he walked towards a dark room in the courtyard.

Without any communication, the two dead men decided on a division of labor, one continuing to guard the door, and the other going to inform their leader, Sima Bai. A moment later a pretty woman with a double-ringed bun walked into the courtyard, looking no older than twenty years old. She was not dressed in black, but in a lotus-colored dress, and no one could tell that she would be the leader of a group of dead soldiers.

Sima Yi didn't hear any footsteps or doors until Sima Bai entered the house. Sima Yi, who was looking down at a book to pass the time, didn't hear someone shouting in front of him: "Second son." Only then did he look up and see Sima Bai.

Even with Sima Yi's critical eye, Sima Bai is definitely a beauty. However, Sima Yi's concentration was excellent, and his gaze did not stay on Sima Bai's pretty face for long, so he took out a sketch from his arms and pointed it: "Bring reliable people, go to this place, kill all people, at any cost, and leave no one alive." ”
