Yes, Sima Yi said that this method is very simple and direct, he is the commander of the three armies, he summons the generals of all the troops to a meeting, the generals of those troops will inevitably come, if they do not come, it is a violation of the military order, and they will be punished by military law.

Therefore, as long as this strategy is used, those generals will inevitably obediently enter Xiangyang City for a meeting, unless they already know in advance that Sima Yi wants to rebel, otherwise, this simple plan will definitely be able to get rid of the main generals of the 200,000 troops of the Wei State.

At that time, Sima Yi only needs to send another person to receive these troops, and he will be done. However, the crux of the matter is not to let the Wei court think that Sima Yi has surrendered to the enemy, which is very difficult. After all, there are more than 200,000 men and horses, and it is simply an impossible task to kill the commanders of various units without leaking the rumors and without making people suspicious afterwards.

Liu Hou had a headache about this, and convened all the strategists to discuss countermeasures together, and the discussion time could not be too long, because Sima Yi was now captured, and those Wei troops who escaped may not know yet, as long as he returned in time with his own soldiers and collected the rout, he might even hide from the Wei army.

However, if he didn't go back for too long, it would be difficult to explain. In order to delay time, Liu Hou didn't care about damaging the vitality of the Han people at this time, he ordered Zhu Bao to continue to attack, chase after the Wei army and beat them hard, and kill as far as they could.

Fortunately, Sima Yi is indeed not a wasted person, and this brainstorming session did not have to be held all day and all night to come up with a solution, as many times in the past. With Sima Yi joining, the meeting was quickly decided.

This plan is thanks to the method mentioned by Sima Yi before, and with this method as the basis, all that remains is how to deceive the world. With a clear goal and direction, it is natural to think of strategies to get twice the result with half the effort. The three stinkers and Sima Yi said a word to me, plus Liu Hou also interjected a few words from time to time, and soon they perfected the plan.

Now that the plan has been decided, Sima Yi has to leave as much as possible, he took his own soldiers, and after thanking Liu Hou, he chased after the Wei army. Watching Sima Yi leave, Deng Zhi said worriedly: "Sima Yi is insidious and cunning, wise as a fox, let him go back like this, will he let the tiger return to the mountain?" Can he be trusted? ”

Liu Houdao: "We didn't catch this tiger, he threw himself into the net, even if the tiger was released back to the mountain, we didn't suffer anything." It is because he is a smart man that I believe he will make the right choice.

Do you think he really had to surrender to us because we got his family, and he was held hostage? No, no, that's just an excuse, or an opportunity. Now the general trend of the world has been very clear, our army is unstoppable, on the contrary, Wei and Wu have been in the twilight, and if this continues, it is only a matter of time before we go down all day.

Sima Yi saw this, so he took the opportunity to surrender and change his lordship. Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters. Although Wei claimed to have a million troops, in fact, most of these troops were local garrison troops, and their combat effectiveness was much worse than that of Cao Cao. When it comes to our Hong army, these troops are nothing more than chickens and dogs.

It's just that many people haven't understood this yet, and Sima Yi is a smart person, he has no reason not to see this, from the fact that he commands several times the strength of our army, or blindly sticks to it, it can also be seen that he does have a correct understanding of the combat strength of the troops on both sides.

I estimate that Sima Yi has already seen the trend of the world, and he wants to change to a more promising lord early on. But there was no way before, and now we have given him such a good reason, where will he not grasp it. If it weren't for the fact that we were going to rule the world, did you think you could threaten him with his family? ”

The plan was scheduled to be officially implemented in three days, because Sima Yi had to gather the rout, reorganize the men, and there were other things to arrange, so it would take about three days.

After Sima Yi gathered the rout and returned to Xiangyang, the first thing he did was to cry to the eunuch Wang Gonggong sent by Cao Pi. What are you crying about? He cried that the rest of the troops did not listen to the dispatch and did not launch an attack on the Shu army together, so that he went deep alone and was broken by the enemy's superior forces.

Of course, he was lying and planting, and the truth was that he did not issue a command at all, and dispatched several Wei troops outside the city to attack the Shu army. Of course, the prince didn't know these at all, he was served by Sima Yi's good food and drink, not only lived comfortably, lived a chic life, but also had gold, silver and jewelry, and his affinity for Sima Yi was very high, so naturally he believed whatever he said.

After he was fooled by Sima Yi for a round, he was also filled with righteous indignation, Sima Yi took the opportunity to mention yì, saying that he was a soft-spoken person, and his words in the army had no weight, and he was not as good as the prince and you, and he was a celebrity around His Majesty. If you say what you say, those vulgar warriors will not dare to disobey your orders. It's better for you to come forward and summon the generals to come over to discuss the military situation, and then you can order them to attack together.

As long as there are more than 200,000 troops attacking the Shu army in all directions, the tens of thousands of people in the Shu army will be like the praying mantis in front of the car. When the time comes, the public and the public will make immortal achievements, and His Majesty will definitely be overjoyed.

The prince was moved by what he said, and captured the little emperor of Shu alive, what a great merit is this? What a wonderful future is this? Sima Yi is like the best off-plan salesman in later generations, putting out a drawing or model, verbally depicting the appearance of a better life in the future, so that people do not hesitate to spend three generations of savings of the family wealth, and even have to borrow a loan from the bank to repay the money for a lifetime, to buy the dream pavilion that has not even seen the foundation.

I have to say that this eunuch is stupid enough, foolish enough, and happy enough, so that Sima Yi will be fooled. Ordinary people heard Sima Yi say that other generals did not respect him, who would believe him? As the governor of Wei State, Sima Yi led his troops into battle many times, and his achievements were outstanding, if those martial artists refused to listen to him, how could he achieve such good results.

Moreover, the strongest in the army is respected, and the commander who can bring them victory, Sima Yi fought well, and his generals admired him very much, how could he not listen to his orders.

Take 10,000 steps back, those generals really don't listen to his orders, won't he use the military to punish their crimes? It is definitely not possible to kill these generals without evidence, but if there is real evidence, it is completely fine for a metropolitan governor to punish his generals. What's more, Sima Yi still has the card Cao Pi.

If his generals really didn't listen to the generals' orders, even if Sima Yi couldn't punish them, wouldn't he write to the imperial court to impeach these generals and ask the emperor to issue an order to reprimand and punish them? Do you need to find a dead eunuch to come forward?

Of course, this possibility is also very small, unless it is a very important figure in the Cao clan, he can do this, if Sima Yi can't even deal with a little thing, and he has to cry to the emperor at every turn, then he is too bad, too incompetent for the position of the governor.

However, this eunuch lived deep in the palace, and he had no military knowledge and political mind at all, just a stupid and greedy moth, and he was fooled by Sima Yi in a few words, and he agreed to Sima Yi's mention in a daze.
