Chapter 207: The Plan for Half of the Harvest

Regarding Liu Hou's lesson, Sima Yi blindly submissively did not have any words of refutation or explanation at all. Seeing that his attitude was so sincere and his posture was so low, Liu Hou was embarrassed to continue to criticize him, asked him to stand up, and changed the conversation and said: "Since you know that you are wrong, then go and do something for me now." ”

"No, please also ask Your Majesty to show me, and the guilty minister will do his best to do it." Sima Yi arched his hand.

"You have more than 200,000 horses under your command, these people are all young and strong, and the revival of the Han Dynasty in the future will depend on their strength, if they are allowed to die on the battlefield in vain, it is not only a pity, but also a tragedy. I don't want to see them end up miserable, and I don't want the Han people to lose so much of their essence.

You go and surrender them, or rather, you use the power in your hands to order them to surrender. This is the first task I have given you, and you must complete it for me. ”

"This, this ......" Sima Yi was speechless.

"What is this, can't you do such a small thing?" Liu Hou's eyes widened, and he was very dissatisfied with Sima Yi.

"Qi Yu Majesty, the guilty minister, didn't the criminal minister just say that the criminal minister pretended to be captured, and he wanted to deceive the Cao Wei court, so as not to purge the Sima clan. Therefore, the guilty ministers used the method of sacrificing tens of thousands of Wei soldiers to cover up the fact that the criminal ministers returned to His Majesty.

However, if the guilty ministers openly went to recruit the troops, then the news of the surrender of the guilty ministers would immediately spread back to Xuchang, and my Sima clan would no longer be spared. Moreover, the only troops that the criminal minister could really control were the more than 50,000 people in Xiangyang City, and many of the generals of the various troops outside the city were the children of the Cao family or the Xiahou family.

The general order issued by the criminal minister said that it was okay to transfer them to a certain place to fight with a certain army, but if you want them to lay down their arms and surrender, I am afraid that those descendants of the Cao family will definitely not agree. I implore His Majesty to take back his life and save the people of the Sima clan. ”

Liu Hou was silent, he knew that Sima Yi should not have lied to him about this, although Cao Pi trusted this important minister who was like a teacher, who had been teaching him, assisting him, and helping him win the throne, but the more than 200,000 elite troops were not trivial, and it was impossible for him to entrust them to one person, and he would definitely have to leave some back-ups to prevent him from rebelling.

Having the children of the Cao family and the people of the Xiahou family as the leaders of each army would be the best way to prevent it, and the loyalty of these people to Cao Wei was beyond doubt. Since Cao Cao, the children of the Cao family and the people of the Xiahou family have been filled with key positions of all sizes in the Cao army, which is also an important means for Cao Cao to control the Wei army.

Moreover, Cao Pi's practice of mixing sand will not cause Sima Yi to be too dissatisfied, because habit becomes natural, and the Wei army has always had this tradition, and no one can say anything about it.

Liu Hou knew that he should not have a chance to subdue the 200,000 elite Cao army in a complete way, which couldn't help but disappoint him. I spent so much effort and cost so much, and did everything possible to get Sima Yi's family out of Xuchang, just to be able to hold Sima Yi hostage, and then pass him to subdue the more than 200,000 Wei troops?

As long as there are more than 200,000 more horses and more than 200,000 horses and more than 200,000 horses in Wei, the strength of the two countries will be greatly reversed, and the quantitative change will change to a qualitative change, and when the time comes, the Wei State will inevitably collapse.

However, now everything has failed, although Sima Yi is the commander of the more than 200,000 troops, but the real people in control of the troops will always be the core personnel of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, which means that Liu Hou cannot use tricks at all, and use methods similar to cheating by opening the back door to take over all these troops.

Liu Hou was really disappointed, whether it was the novels he read when he was a child, or the romances, he was full of all kinds of stories of wits, all kinds of tricks and tricks, many stories of soldiers who surrendered without a fight, many episodes of four or two thousand pounds, and many legends of defeating ten or even a hundred times the enemy with weak troops and a small price, and achieving earth-shattering battles of ghosts and gods, and he was extremely envious of the heroes who won among them.

I hope that one day I can be like those legendary Niu 13 characters, talking and laughing and disappearing. However, the reality is cruel, and he and the three stinkers finally devised this plan that they thought was seamless, but in the end it fell short.

Although it can't be said that it was a complete failure, at least it harvested Sima Yi, a big cow, but the 200,000 horses that I thought could also be included in the bag were like boiled ducks, watching them fly away with white eyes.

It's really hard to say who is lighter and heavier between Sima Yi and the 200,000 horses, in countless dramas, a certain lord gets a talent, and it is often said that Mr. / General is better than 100,000 troops. It is not ruled out that this statement is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows that some talents are indeed worth 100,000 troops, but this is not a 100,000 army, but more than 200,000 well-trained Wei army elites.

Is Sima Yi worth 200,000 troops? It's hard to say, if it's worth it, then Liu Hou's plan this time has achieved half of the purpose, if it's not worth it, then this plan hasn't even gotten half of the harvest. The more Liu Hou thought about it, the more sad he became, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, so he decided to go crazy:

"I don't care, since you are the first strategist of the Wei State, you must be very outstanding in strategy, you can quickly help me find a way to subdue these more than 200,000 people."

"This ...... Your Majesty, the criminal minister is not the first strategist of the Wei State, the first strategist of the Wei State is ......" Sima Yi pleaded with sweat on his forehead.

"Okay, okay, I just said you were you, anyway, the world said you were wise, you should find a way." Liu Hou interrupted Sima Yi's words.

"If the criminal minister did not return to His Majesty and still returned to Xiangyang City, it is not impossible to subdue these people, but in this way, the Cao Wei court must know that the criminal minister has rebelled, and my Sima clan ......"

"Oh? Do you have a way to subdue them? You talk about what you can do first, as for the Sima clan, don't worry about them for the time being, oh, it's not to ignore them, it's to talk about your method first, don't consider their factors for the time being, if your method is really feasible, let's find a way to save the Sima clan. ”

When Liu Hou heard Sima Yi say that there was a way to subdue the 200,000 army, he immediately came to be interested, interrupted Sima Yi's words, and couldn't wait to let him say a way.

Sima Yi closed his eyes and thought for a while before saying: "The method is actually very simple, the commanders of these troops are all absolutely loyal to Cao Wei, but the generals at all levels below may not be. As long as you find a way to get rid of these main generals, you can easily take down these horses. ”

"Okay, okay, then can you tell me if there is any way to get rid of these main generals?" Liu Hou broke the casserole and asked to the end. He would not be so stupid as to think that Sima Yi wanted to send a killer to infiltrate the Wei army camp and assassinate the Wei army's commander.

Sima Yi said again: "If the criminal minister is still in Xiangyang City, it will be simple, as long as the criminal minister issues a military order and summons these main generals to come over to discuss the military situation, they don't know that the criminal minister is going to rebel, so naturally they don't suspect him, and they will definitely come happily, as long as they enter Xiangyang City, then their life and death are under the control of the criminal minister." ”
