Chapter 630: Fooling Each Other

50,000 against 50,000, elite soldiers against elite soldiers, one wants to enter, one does not give in, if the fight starts, this is destined to be a battle to the death.

For Shi Jun, fortunately, there are not many defenders in Xiangyang City, because the previous battle has withdrawn all the soldiers, and because the city is protected by a real dragon shield, it can be drawn from the bottom of the kettle. Therefore, they do not need to put too much energy on Xiangyang in the rear.

Compared with Shi Jun, who only needed to suppress this simple military goal by force, Cao Pijun's idea was more complicated.

Even if you desperately enter Xiangyang, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, and you can hold it for a while, but you can't hold it for a lifetime. What's more, you may not be able to enter Xiangyang!

If you don't enter Xiangyang, there is another way to go, relying on these 150,000 soldiers to break through and enter the Yizhou territory under the banner of defecting to Sima Yi, Shi Xin may not dare to chase after him.

This also has the advantage of having a good time, after Sima Yi's camp stabilizes, he fornicates with Shi Xin and tells him that this is Cao Cao's plan, and it seems to be a good way to strengthen himself between Sima Yi and Shi Xin at that time.

No matter how bad it is, you can still surrender to Shi Xin and be an official with no real power. If Shi Xin becomes the ultimate victor, he may be able to mix up as a marquis, have a small fief, and be happy for a lifetime.

Cao Pi restrained the soldiers and horses, and Shi Jun was far away, looking at the enemy soldiers on the opposite side like wolves and tigers with a pair of eyes, and the tide of thought fluctuated. Shi Xin had already instructed Ma Chao and the others that as long as Cao Pi did not take the initiative to attack, his own side would not move. As a result, he was able to enjoy temporary security.

"Dezu, what should I do?"

Cao Pi asked casually.

Yang Xiu and Guo Jia stood on Cao Pi's side, and his thoughts were no less than Cao Pi's. When Ma Chao and Huang Zhong led the army to suddenly appear in front of him, his heart was excited.

These are powerful allies, and these two are the second of the five tiger generals!

He even felt a kind of loss: how nice it would be if I could be like them, openly in front of the army, talking and laughing, and majestic!

"Alas, let's take it one step at a time!" Yang Xiu could only comfort himself in his heart.

Hearing Cao Pi's question, he was slightly stunned, and his years of spy life made him react quickly, and said with a smile, "It depends on what the lord thinks." ”

"My lord?"

Guo Jia on the side glanced at Yang Xiu, frowned slightly, and snorted coldly in his heart. He has always been at odds with Yang Xiu, this person is arrogant and arrogant, his eyes are higher than the top, but he is hollowing out his mind to please the lord.

No, Cao Pi didn't agree to be the lord yet, so he called out first.

Realizing Guo Jia's disgust, Cao Pi, who was called by Yang Xiu with joy, suddenly woke up, Guo Jia would only be loyal to his father, and once he knew that he was going against his father's wishes, things would become more complicated.

The most important thing is that Guo Jia has accumulated great prestige in the army over the years, and so far, his control over the army is even above himself. Perhaps only these 50,000 of the 150,000 are truly obedient to him.

Including the generals, in addition to the Xiahou brothers, the five good generals and Cheng Yu will also listen to Guo Jia's orders.

Of course, under normal circumstances, they would not rebel, but if they knew the truth of the matter, would they still be loyal to themselves when Shi Jun was powerful and Guo Jia instigated?

Thinking of this, Cao Pi realized that Guo Jia was a dangerous person, and he realized that the only person he could trust was Yang Xiu, and the two were really tied to the same boat.

"Fengxiao Military Division, there is a big war coming soon, please go to the Chinese army to preside over the overall situation!"

Cao Pi saw that Ma Chao and they would not attack immediately and take Guo Jia away.

Guo Jia looked at the two of them out of the corner of his eye, bowed and retreated.

Seeing Guo Jia leave, Cao Pi continued the topic just now, "What does Dezu mean?"

"Lord, it seems that it is not a wise move to enter Xiangyang!" Yang Xiu sighed and made his own judgment, "But if the lord is bent on maintaining the reputation of the Cao family and coexisting with the last piece of land of the Cao family, this is the only choice. ”

Yang Xiu gave what seemed to be the most pertinent opinion, and at the same time, he was also advancing by retreating. Of course, there is also a little selfishness, if Cao Pizhen enters Xiangyang, it will be difficult for Shi Xin to unify Jingzhou in a short time, which will more or less drag down Shi Xin's progress.

Therefore, he said that the result was serious, selfish people are afraid of death, Cao Pi knew that this was a dead end, and he would never jump into it.

The best outcome was, of course, the surrender of Shi Xin, but since Cao Pi chose to conceal Cao Cao's will, this path seemed to be out of the way.

Cao Pi sighed, "If I defect to Sima Yi, what will be the final direction?"

"That's a desperate defection, and it is estimated that Sima Yi will also accept us. But I don't fully believe that the final result is likely to break up all 50,000 soldiers and join his original troops, and we don't have much chance of coming back to life. ”

Yang Xiu said cautiously, for fear that Cao Pi would be suspicious.

"Father is bent on fulfilling Shi Xin, didn't he expect the soldiers to be scattered?"

Cao Pi was a little puzzled, he was the one who knew Cao Cao's plan, asked him to pretend to surrender to Sima Yi, and then planned to enter the city when Shi Xin captured Chengdu.

Yang Xiu said with a smile: "The old lord has already calculated that Sima Yi will do this, so he asked you to command 50,000 troops." After all, no matter how scattered they are, there are thousands of pro-soldiers who fall into their hands, right? When the war is chaotic, just grab the real dragon staff, and it won't take a moment to turn things around. Therefore, the number is not large, but the essence and loyalty. ”

"According to Dezu, even if we go to Chengdu, we won't do much, and Sima Yi will still be suspicious of us. Cao Pi had a sense of desperation.

"That may not be ......," Yang Xiu's words changed, "The cultivation of the Taiping Heart Method and the Chang'an Blood Array is almost well known, as long as the lord has the courage to break through the cauldron and learn these two exercises, then Sima Yi will be much more relieved." ”

Hearing these two evil exercises, Cao Pi's face changed, "Wouldn't this be controlled by Sima Yi? ”

"No, it's a wreck. The control technique of the Taiping Mind Method was only known to Yu Ji and Sima Yi, and they would not easily pass it on to others. As long as these two people die, hehe...... All problems are solved. ”

Yang Xiu's eyes turned cold, "The lord looks at these people in Sima Yi's camp, it turns out that the people in Dong Zhuo's camp, Liu Chan, Sun Quan, Zhang Lu, and Han Sui are all heroes for a while, and none of them are good people. They are all controlled by the Taiping Mind Method, and it is impossible to have no resentment in their hearts. A group of people who have been forcibly suppressed and resentful get together, and after a long time, there will be big problems. ”

"Although the lord has no soldiers and horses, he only needs to firmly hold the hearts of our generals, and then lie down under Sima Yi to try his courage, act in secret, and even provoke the relationship between everyone and him, isn't it a draw from the bottom of the kettle?"

Yang Xiu's strategy is too bold and extremely risky, but it sounds like a fatal attraction, and if it goes well, Cao Pi still has a lot of chances to turn around.

This is Yang Xiu's suggestion based on Cao Pi's performance and personality, and in the final analysis, it is also Cao Pi's most likely decision

It's just that he analyzed the truth and perfected the plan in order to strengthen Cao Pi's determination.

Cao Pi was indecisive, and Yang Xiu sighed in his heart. His idea undoubtedly allowed his spy career to continue again. At that time, on the surface, he took Sima Yi as the main father, and turned around to help Cao Pi, but in the bottom he was Shi Xin's person.

It's a three-sided agent.

He also has his own reasons for doing this, no matter what Cao Pi does, he can't make much of a storm. In the end, Shi Xin only had to face Sima Yi, and Cao Pi was just a springboard for him to enter Sima Yi's camp, where he would continue to shine.

"Okay, according to what Dezu said, let's march into Chengdu!" Cao Pi finally made up his mind, "What should we do next?"

"Now that the lord has decided, for now we must work with Shi Xinxu and the snake to get them to stop chasing us. That's why we're going to make a deal with Shi Xin secretly. ”

"Agreement?" Cao Pi muttered.

"Of course! The reason why Szelling followed us all the way and didn't attack us was because he was never sure of our intentions. As long as we told him that we had entered Chengdu to fulfill the old master's plan, he would let us go. ”

Cao Pi nodded and said, "That's true, then the remaining 100,000 troops ...... Did you really give it to Shi Xin?"

To be honest, Cao Pi is very difficult to do, both emotionally and intellectually. But he also knows that it's hard to have the best of both worlds, especially when you're vulnerable. If he brought 150,000 people to join Sima Yi, what would he think?

Probably can't even enter the city gate of Chengdu, right?

Instead of cheap Sima Yi, it is better to leave it to Shi Xin, and he can remember the old love when he is desperate in the future.

Yang Xiu was secretly happy, but on the surface, he was in pain, "In order to convince Shi Xin, it is estimated that it will be difficult to keep this 100,000 army." In fact, it can't be regarded as a concession, and we still need to use these 100,000 troops to make some arrangements before this. Another point is that the content of the peace talks cannot be known to our generals, so it is good that the lord will only send me alone. ”

Cao Pi hurriedly shook his head and said: "Dezu is the most relied on person by my side, how can I let you put yourself in danger when I go to Longtan Tiger's Den?"

"Alas, this matter should not be publicized, only I am the best suit. Don't worry, since Shi Xin believes that we are going to Chengdu for his sake, I won't be embarrassed if I think about it. ”

Seeing Yang Xiu's fearless appearance, Cao Pi instantly burst into tears, grabbed his hand and said: "The more difficult the situation, the more you can see the essence of a person, Dezu, if I Cao Pi can return to the top in my lifetime, I will never forget your dedication!"

Yang Xiu also wiped his tears and said, "The lord's words are heavy. This is the subordinate's business. Before that, I have to step forward to stabilize Ma Chao's army. ”

"How to stabilize?"

"Go straight up to them!"

Cao Pi was taken aback, "Just ...... Just go up to them like that?"

Yang Xiu smiled lightly, "Don't worry, my lord, since they have Shi Xin's order, they won't embarrass me." ”

"But this is just our estimate, I heard that Ma Chao is as fierce as fire, acting impulsively, Dezu thinks twice!"

"For the sake of the lord's great affairs, Dezu is willing to give it a try. ”

Cao Pi couldn't resist it, and was moved again, so he had to let Yang Xiu out.

"General Ma Chao, I have something to say, don't do it!" Yang Xiu single-handedly greeted Ma Chao.

Ma Chao looked at Yang Xiu, who was gradually approaching, and his face turned cold. He knew that Yang Xiu was a traitor to the Holy Sect, and he hated Shi Xin even more, so he didn't have a good impression of him.
