Chapter 209 was sold, and the number of people who helped them pay back

After Sima Yi fooled the eunuch Wang Gonggong, he quietly wrote a letter and sent someone to send it back to Xuchang and present it to Cao Pi. The content of the chapter is that the eunuch prince did not understand military affairs but wanted to command indiscriminately, and blindly forced the soldiers to go out of the city and fight the Shu army head-on.

Sima Yi made a detailed analysis of the current situation of the enemy and the enemy in the first half of the chapter, and he said that the Shu army had firearms, and the lethality was very amazing, although his own side had several times the strength of his own, but if he gave up the cover of the fortified city and fought with the Shu army in the field, he would not be able to resist the attack of the Shu army at all.

Sima Yi's analysis of the combat strength of the two sides was actually not the first time that it was presented to Cao Pi, and many ministers in the imperial court had questioned Sima Yi's stubborn strategy, believing that he had an army of more than 200,000 troops, several times the strength of the Shu army, and was really incompetent in a fortified city. Many ministers impeached him on this ground, and wanted to ask Cao Pi to issue a decree to strictly order him to take the initiative.

Of course, Sima Yi also issued a written defense for this impeachment, and those defenses were similar to the content of this letter. Sima Yi's analysis is very pertinent, which fully shows that he has a very strategic vision and a very accurate grasp of the form.

And Cao Pi has also seen the terrible power of firearms because he has tested guns and guns, so he agrees with Sima Yi's judgment, and he trusts Sima Yi, the teacher who helped him win the throne, so he has always supported him under the pressure of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Sima Yi said in the second half of this letter that the eunuch prince claimed to have the emperor's secret decree and could command the three armies, but he crossed himself and forcibly demanded that the commanders of the various troops obey his orders.

This prince also planned to gather the commanders of the various units and give them the order to attack directly. Sima Yi thought that such an act was very dangerous, and if he did do so, he would probably bury the 200,000 army. In the end, he begged the emperor to recall the eunuch so that he would not continue to disturb the order of the barracks.

Cao Pi was shocked after receiving Sima Yi's recital, of course he believed Sima Yi's analysis of the form, and knew that the current situation was indeed only to rely on the strong city to hold on, and then use superior forces to coerce the Shu army, so that they did not dare to act rashly, this is the best choice at present.

Once the Wei army takes the initiative to fight a field battle with the Shu army, it will be a long attack on the enemy with its own shortcomings, and the Wei army may really fall into a state of no return. What made him even more angry was that this eunuch was so bold that he dared to falsely proclaim the holy decree and seize power in the front troops. He did give a secret edict to this eunuch, but the secret edict meant that if Sima Yi showed signs of rebellion, he would mobilize men and horses to take Sima Yi and seize his military power.

But it didn't say that when Sima Yi showed no signs of rebellion, he would take his military power over. The prince obviously did this with chicken feathers as arrows, and Cao Pi couldn't help but regret sending this eunuch to Xiangyang.

Because of the lessons of the former Han Dynasty's ten permanent servants, he was already very cautious about the use of eunuchs, so he did not give this eunuch too much power, did not give him a clear identity as a prisoner, and only instructed him to secretly investigate whether Sima Yi was against him.

Who knew that this eunuch was so bold, once he left the palace and went to the army, he dared to act so boldly, and he didn't even look at the dignified governor.

Cao Pi immediately sent a group of men and horses to the front line in Xiangyang overnight, wanting to recall the prince back to the court to ask for guilt, so that he would not continue to interfere with the war on the front line. However, it is already late, although Xiangyang and Xuchang are not very far apart, but after all, there is a distance, the fastest traffic in ancient times is to ride a horse, but the average speed of the horse is only a few tens of kilometers per hour, from Sima Yi to send a piece of music to Cao Pi to send someone over, this back and forth really took a lot of time.

With so much time, what should have happened has already happened, of course, these time differences are all calculated by Sima Yi in advance, he must leave enough time for himself to make the next plan, it is impossible for Xu Changlai to ruin his own good deeds.

Sima Yi's next plan was to instigate the eunuch prince to summon the commanders of the various troops outside the city to come over and discuss the military together in his name. Sima Yi told him that he would summon them in his name, and then he would personally arrange the plan for this military operation, so that the victory would be counted on his head at that time, and he would be the one who made immortal achievements at that time.

To this end, Sima Yi also personally formulated a very detailed military action plan for the siege of the Shu army. This plan is very detailed and meticulous, and even if it is not faulted by any military expert, he will only praise the person who formulated the plan as a military genius.

Although he does not understand military affairs, he can also see that this plan is very well formulated, and it can be said that it is seamless, and he believes that according to this plan, the Shu army will inevitably be defeated in one fell swoop, and even end up with the annihilation of the whole army.

It must be said that his estimate was quite correct, at least in the past. Sima Yi did not give him a set of plans casually, this set of plans was indeed a very good and perfect set of military action plans.

If this plan is followed, it is indeed possible to completely annihilate tens of thousands of horses, provided that these horses are traditional cold weapon troops. Moreover, even if Liu Hou's firearms unit copes with this attack plan, it is believed that it will pay a lot of price to achieve victory.

The reason why Sima Yi tried his best to help Wang Gonggong formulate a real and complete attack plan was because he was afraid that Wang Gonggong would know how to do it and see the flaws, so he used a real plan to fool him. Anyway, he knew that this plan would never be implemented, so it didn't matter if he was given a real plan.

And the prince who was kept in the dark didn't know what Sima Yi was thinking, he was quite a bit of a seller and a person who made money, yes, he now feels that Sima Yi, Sima Yi obviously formulated such a perfect action plan, but he gave it to himself, let himself come forward to arrange the action, this kind of non-credit, the courage to give credit to others made him very satisfied.

He made up his mind that after he made a meritorious service this time, he must say a few more kind words for Sima Yi in front of His Majesty, and he can't always let honest people suffer. Of course, maybe he is the only one in the world who thinks that Sima Yi, the old fox, is an honest man.

Sima Yi also mentioned that he summoned the commanders of the various units to discuss the military situation. The meeting place for discussing the military situation was not in Xiangyang City, but on a small hillside outside Xiangyang City, because these generals did not trust themselves very much, and they were afraid that they would be disadvantageous if they entered Xiangyang City, so it was very likely that they did not dare to come to the meeting.

The prince is as good as a stream, and his favorability towards Sima Yi is now second only to that of the emperor, and he didn't think about the deep meaning of Sima Yi's various arrangements at all, and agreed to them one by one. Not only that, but at the instigation of Sima Yi, he also wrote a memo to Cao Pi, and this plan of action was attached to the memo.

He said that he was going to convene the commanders of the various units to discuss the military situation, and then attack the Shu army in an all-out way according to this action plan. The compromises are full of triumphant and proud merit. This stupid eunuch did not know that he had committed a big taboo himself, nor did he know that the person who came to capture him was already on his way to Xiangyang.
