In a house near the Longxi camp of the Wei army.

Cao Zhen was lying on the hospital bed with a wet towel on his forehead.

Taking advantage of the time when the imperial doctor in front of him was taking his pulse, his mouth let out a weak moan intermittently, and his nose kept humming, looking terminally ill and incurable.

The imperial doctor finished taking the pulse, lifted the pen and prepared to prescribe the disease.

Before putting pen to paper, I was a little unsure, and asked: "General, after drawing up this prescription, I have to bring a copy back to your majesty to see, may I ask the general, am I writing directly according to my condition?" Or ......"

Cao Zhen stopped humming after hearing this, and asked with concern: "If it is according to my condition, how do you think this prescription should be prescribed?" ”

"Ah...... If it is according to the current condition of the general, there is no need to prescribe medicine. ”

Cao Zhen was in a hurry all of a sudden, directly took off the wet towel on his head, turned over from the hospital bed and sat up, how could he look a little weak?

"No, never...... Ouch, you better hurry up and prescribe this prescription, but this prescription must be prescribed heavier before you can take it back to Luoyang and present it to Your Majesty! ”

The imperial doctor listened to Cao Zhen's ambiguous words, and his eyes rolled, as if he understood a little.

Most of the people who can be imperial doctors in the palace are not stupid.

Cao Zhen's situation at this time, where can he still tell the difference?

He's clearly pretending to be sick when he's not sick!

I also have to write the prescription a little heavier, isn't this a deliberate deception to Your Majesty?

The imperial doctor was suddenly a little embarrassed.

"This ...... But it's a little difficult to do, if Your Majesty knows that he is cheating, then what's the deal? ”

After speaking, he turned his right hand into a knife shape and slashed under his neck.

Cao Zhen's eyes narrowed suddenly.

He stared at the imperial doctor in front of him and said word by word: "My illness is unknown except for Your Excellency, how can Your Majesty know?" ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the imperial doctor to speak, he directly pouted to Cao Shuang beside the bed.

The latter comprehended and brought a tray from the side.

The tray was yellow, but it was full of neat layers of small gold ingots.

The imperial doctor was shaken by the gold ingot, and his eyes were suddenly spent.

He pretended to shirk it, and put the gold ingots in his pocket with an excited expression.

Now that there is a gold ingot, this prescription is ...... It's just going to open.

As for what will happen to His Majesty when he finds out?

As long as he doesn't speak, how will His Majesty know the truth?

"This ...... Thank you, General. ”

After the imperial doctor received the gold ingot, he wrote like a god, and prescribed the prescription in an instant.

After finishing, he proudly raised the Chinese medicine prescription in his hand, and praised it: "If Your Majesty reads this prescription, you will definitely grant the general half a year's vacation." ”

"Half a year?"

Cao Zhen secretly calculated in his heart.

Half a year is enough.

It not only ensures that he escapes the punishment after the defeat, but also leaves enough time to make a comeback.

Half a year is very good!

The fly in the ointment is that to let Sima Yi take charge of the army for half a year, the time is a little long.

That's it!

And it's cheaper!

After Cao Shuang sent the imperial doctor away, he brought back a piece of good news.

Before anyone could enter the room, laughter came in.

"Haha...... Father, what a happy event! ”

"Now that my father is sick in bed, it will take up to half a year, how can I be happy?"

"Erchen just received a battle report from the front, that Sima Yi fell for Cao Jun's plan to lure the enemy, suffered a defeat, and lost more than 20,000 troops, in addition, the general Wang Shuang, also died because of Sima Yi's fault!"

Cao Zhen suddenly widened his eyes, and couldn't wait to get up from the bed, his mustache trembled from side to side, and his face could not hide his excitement.

Still can't seem to believe it...... Happiness came so suddenly.

He dragged a high-pitched voice and asked, "Wang Shuang was killed by Sima Yi?" ”

"Yes, father, you often say that Sima Yi knows the art of war, and his son doesn't see it at all, no, he also suffered defeat, and he lost worse than his father!"

Syllable......

After hearing this, Cao Zhen staggered his fists and punched in the air.

Then she wandered around the room barefoot.

While wandering, he muttered to himself, "Sima Yi suffered a defeat and lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Wang Shuang was killed by him, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

After repeating this several times, the knots in the heart that had suffered repeated defeats before seemed to be opened, and the accumulated feelings of depression in the bottom of the heart disappeared without a trace.

"Hahaha, Sima Yi, you're just a defeated general! Ha ha...... I want to play a fold to Your Majesty, Shuang'er, after writing a fold for your father, you can rush to Luoyang in the starry night and present it to Your Majesty. ”

Cao Shuang was also overjoyed on the side, "Father wants to impeach Sima Yi?" ”

"I not only want to impeach Sima Yi, but I also want to regain the power of the Grand Governor!"

Cao Zhen was excited, but suddenly remembered the medical officer who had left not long ago, and immediately urged: "Go and stop the medical officer and take back the prescription in his hand." ”

Cao Shuang also knew that the situation was urgent, so he turned around and left.

After taking two steps, he was called back by Cao Zhen.

"Shuang'er, if you are in a hurry, you almost forgot the most important thing for your father, you quickly tell me how Sima Yi was tricked and how he lost his troops."

Cao Shuang was in a dilemma for a while, "Father, the medical officer has already left, and it will be too late if you don't chase after you." ”

"What's the panic?"

"The more things come to an end, the more you have to be calm, your mentality is so impetuous, it will be difficult to become a big weapon in the future, quickly tell me in detail about the process of Sima Yi's defeat, and then take a good look at it for my father."

Cao Zhen can also be regarded as a wise man.

That Cao Jun was a new official, but he was able to defeat him and Sima Yi in a row, and he could be regarded as having real talent and learning.

What if he impatiently drove Sima Yi away, faced Cao Jun again, and suffered another defeat?

You have to think about it in advance.

Cao Shuang then told the process of Sima Yi's defeat in detail.

Cao Zhen listened and sighed, and the more he sighed, the more surprised he became, "Oh, Cao Jun is really not easy to mess with!" He first defeated his father by deception, and then defeated Sima Yi by luring the enemy, although he was not as cautious as Zhuge Liang, he was more treacherous and cunning than Zhuge Liang. ”

"It seems that my father will continue to be sick for a while!"

Cao Shuang was also confused by Cao Zhen on the side, and urged: "Father, is the medical officer still chasing after you?" ”

Cao Zhen gave him a blank look, "What are you chasing?" Even if his father is facing that Cao Jun now, he is not completely sure of defeating him, and let that Sima Yi continue to consume the sharp energy of the Shu army. ”

When Sima Yi's defeat was reported to Luoyang, it immediately caused a panic in the Great Wei court.

Sima Yi is currently Cao Wei's Dinghai Divine Needle.

In the past, no matter how the war was glued and corroded, as long as Sima Yi came out, it was guaranteed that the medicine would be cured.

Even Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, said that the only one who can compete with Zhuge Liang is Sima Yi.

Wei Chen was a little puzzled.

Why did Sima Yi have a record of victory and defeat in the face of Zhuge Liang, and he could still fight back and forth, and why did he suffer defeat in the face of Cao Jun, the newly promoted deputy governor of the Shu army?

For a while, there were more voices about removing Sima Yi from his post and blaming him for his defeat.

Wei Lord Cao Rui also learned to be smart this time.

After suppressing many voices of impeachment, he secretly asked people to come to Cao Zhen for ideas.

Who knew that Cao Zhen also suppressed the urgency in his heart in the face of the opportunity to regain the power of the capital governor, but he was much more cautious, and actually comforted Lord Wei in turn, and said a good word for Sima Yi for the first time.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, please Your Majesty be calm and not impatient, give Sima Yi more time, now Weichen is sick in bed, although he is always worried about the front-line war, he only hates not to go into battle to kill the enemy, but he has the intention to kill the thief, and he has no power to return to God, and please forgive the minister for a few months, so that the minister can first recover from his illness, and His Majesty is ashamed to share his worries!"

In the past, Sima Yi couldn't do it, but there was also a Cao Zhen as a spare tire.

Now that this spare tire is sick in bed, and there is no plan to make a comeback, it is difficult for Cao Rui, the lord of Wei, to do it all of a sudden.

……

In the camp of the Wei army.

Sima Yi sat alone in the tent as usual.

The surrounding light was dim, and there was not half of the soldiers around.

He sat leisurely for a while, and suddenly let out a long sigh alone, "It seems that I, the Metropolitan Governor, have not been in office for a long time, and now that I have lost the battle, then Cao Zhen will definitely instigate a bunch of people to impeach, and I can't wait to replace him, hehe......"

After Sima Yi sighed, he was still thinking about the defeat he had eaten not long ago.

Cao Jun used himself as bait and went to Wucheng alone to settle the people.

The problem is, who put the bait in Wucheng, but the hook is in the camp of the Shu army.

Is there such a fishing?

Sima Yi suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

In the past, when facing Zhuge Liang, although the opponent was cautious, he used troops to dispatch generals, and there were traces to follow.

It's like this Cao Jun, imaginative, and the rhythm is too jumpy.

So he can't keep up a bit!

After half a ring, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

But it was Sima Zhao who rushed in first.

"Father, hurry up and get ready, the angel is coming."

Sima Yi slowly straightened up and patted the dust behind his buttocks, as if he couldn't lift his spirits.

He replied angrily: "What are you going to prepare?" I'm afraid that the position of the governor of the father will not last long, and he will be taken off again, you will go back to your hometown in advance this time, and repair the old mansion in Wancheng, this time I am afraid that you will have to stay longer. ”

Who knew the surprise on Sima Zhao's face.

"Father, my son has inquired, in addition to a holy decree, the angel brought 100,000 soldiers, as well as countless grains and grass and military supplies, I am afraid that my father will make persistent efforts to continue to lead the army to resist the Shu army!"

"Oh......" Sima Yi raised the corner of his eye, this time it really made him confused.

After the angel finished announcing the decree, he cordially took Sima Yi's hand and comforted him for a long time, and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, please don't be anxious, so that you can prepare for war on the front line." ”

After the angel left, Sima Yi was still wandering in the big tent.

He couldn't figure it out.

In the past, if you only suffered a slight defeat, you would be removed from power, but after this defeat, you were rewarded.

Or Sima Zhao is well-informed, on the way to send the angel out of the camp, he made some silver taels, and finally heard a key news.

"Father, the son-in-law heard that His Majesty had sent someone to Cao Zhen to ask for advice, guess what he said? He said that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and please ask Your Majesty to give your father more time, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

"It's ridiculous enough."

"Father, now that my battalion has been newly replenished with 100,000 sergeants, the total strength is on par with the Shu army, it is the time to take the initiative to attack, as long as you win a battle, you can stop the mouths of the people in the court, and you can repay Your Majesty's knowledge......"

Who knew that Sima Yi waved his hand to stop Sima Zhao's active attack, "No, pass on my handsome order, from now on, without my permission, anyone who fights without authorization will be immediately killed!" ”

Although Sima Yi ordered the whole army to retreat in the camp, he sent a small force of cavalry, and after making a detour to the Shu army, he frequently harassed the Shu army's grain route.

For a time, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides returned to the battle for the grain road.
