After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Wen Ping was also 'excited'. During this time, Wen Ping kept trying to attack Cao Cao', but Cao Cao's battalion was heavily garrisoned and impregnable, so Wen Ping had no choice but to do anything.

Liu Xiu decided to fight again, and Wen Ping was in favor of it.

Especially to use the surrender of Yu Ban, Wen Ping even agreed to it a hundred times.

In fact, Wen Ping also thought about using the surrender of the ban to make a fuss, but Wen Ping thought about it, but he didn't dare to say it.

On the one hand, the use of Yu Ban's stabbing 'excitation' and Cao's '' is very cruel to Ban, after all, Yu Ban is a general.

On the other hand, if the clerk proposes, it will inevitably offend the ban.

Today's Wen Ping, a general under Liu Xiu's command, is not afraid of the ban, but in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, who has not had a time when he is in trouble? If something goes wrong with him in the future, Yu Ban will fall into the well again, which will be very unfavorable to him.

Therefore, Wen Ping did not mention the use of forbidden things.

Liu Xiu took the initiative to bring it up, and the situation was different, and this was not a matter of clerical employment.

Wen Ping's expression was 'excited', and he clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will go to arrange it immediately, and order the soldiers to polish their weapons and prepare to fight again." When we fight tomorrow, we will definitely defeat Cao Cao'. ”

Liu Xiu chuckled twice, waved his hand and said, "Go get busy." ”

"Whoa!"

Wen Ping turned and stepped back.

Liu Xiu sat alone in the tent, his face showing a deep and groaning expression, and muttered to himself: "Brother Meng De, how many blows can you withstand when you are old? This time, can you withstand the blows brought by the ban." ”

For a long time, Liu Xiu has been constantly winning and constantly attacking Cao 'Cao'.

The capture of Zhang Liao and Xun Yu was a blow.

Sending pumpkin soup to Cao '' is a blow.

Let Cao '' know that Yu Ban has surrendered, which is also a blow.

Cao '' dreamed of defeating Liu Xiu and dominating the world. But suddenly, Cao 'Cao' found that he was already at a disadvantage, there was no chance to win, and the concept he insisted on collapsed, how long could Cao 'Cao' hold on?

......

The big camp of Wei, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Cao 'Cao' convened Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Sima Yi and other strategists to discuss the matter.

Cao 'Cao' looked around at everyone, his expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "The pumpkin planted by the Chu State is quite extraordinary, and it is extremely valuable food. During this time, Liu Xiu also sent it from time to time, and you have all eaten it a few times. Tell me, what do you think of pumpkins?"

For the pumpkin, Cao '' in his heart.

He gathered his men to discuss how to get the pumpkins.

Xun Yu's mind turned, and he instantly understood Cao's intention, and said: "Pumpkin is delicious, sweet and delicious, and it is a rare delicacy. ”

According to the news released by Liu Xiu, the yield of pumpkin per mu can reach thousands of catties, or even tens of thousands of catties. Such an output was enough to feed the soldiers of Liu Xiu's army. ”

"With pumpkins, at least Liu Xiu's soldiers won't starve. ”

Since then, Liu Xiu no longer worries about food. ”

"If Liu Xiu monopolizes the production of pumpkins, it will be extremely detrimental to the Wei State. He suggested that he must find a way to obtain pumpkin seeds and then plant them in the territory of Wei. ”

Xun Yu talked eloquently and said solemnly: "If Wei has a pumpkin, in the follow-up 'confrontation' with Liu Xiu, we will not be affected by food." ”

Cao's eyes were bright, and he said, "Those who know me, Wen Ruoye!"

Cao 'Cao' is not a good person, after Liu Xiuzhan 'revealed' the pumpkin, Cao 'Cao' remembered it, and wanted to take the pumpkin as his own and plant it within the Wei State.

Cheng Yu stroked the white beard under his chin, he thought for a while, and said slowly: "Pumpkin is an important food, and such a strategic material may not be easy to get." ”

"No, there is a way. ”

Suddenly, Sima Yi spoke.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Sima Yi.

Cao 'Cao' was pleasantly surprised: "What is Zhongda's plan?"

With the death of Guo Jia, Jia Xu returned to Liu Xiu, Xun You was captured, and there were fewer and fewer extremely smart strategists under Cao Cao's command, especially those with a sense of the overall situation.

Sima Yi's important 'sex' is becoming more and more prominent.

Sima Yi is now a confidant under Cao Cao, responsible for Cao Cao's documents and other materials, and is an extremely important member of Cao Cao's command.

Sima Yi took out a letter from his sleeve without hurry, respectfully handed it to Cao Cao's desk, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the news I just received, and it was sent from Luoyang. Because His Majesty summoned him, he has not had time to report his humble position, so please read it to His Majesty. ”

Cao '' opened the letter and read it.

After reading it, Cao's '' eyes shone brightly, and he said: "The news on the letter is that Xun You and Zhang Liao have been surrendered to Liu Xiu after they were captured. Now, the two have arrived in Luoyang and are responsible for the collection and storage of pumpkins. ”

For the surrender of Zhang Liao and Xun You, Cao 'Cao' sighed in his heart.

Once, Zhang Liao and Xun Youning would rather die than surrender, but now it is different, and the two chose to surrender.

The generals under Cao 'Cao', with the death of Xiahoudun and others, Zhang Liao's important 'sex' is self-evident, and he is a general of the military. But now, Zhang Liao has returned to Liu Xiu. Xun You was Cao Cao's henchman and adviser, and he also surrendered.

Cao '' felt uncomfortable, but he didn't show any 'exposure'.

Cao 'Cao' looked at Sima Yi, he instantly figured out the key to it, and asked, "Zhong Da, what do you mean, making a fuss about Xun You and Zhang Liao?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Sima Yi replied with a glint of 'fine' in his eyes.

Cheng Yu is still not very optimistic, and said positively: "Zhongda's idea is good, but you and I know the importance of pumpkin." It will be very difficult to make a fuss about pumpkins. Pumpkins, in particular, are large in size and are not easy to transport. ”

Cao 'Cao' stroked the beard under his chin, and also agreed with Cheng Yu's statement, and asked, "Zhongda, what do you think?"

All eyes fell on Sima Yi.

Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, although there are difficulties, it does not mean that it cannot be completed. As for how to 'operate', our people arrived in Luoyang and contacted Xun You and Zhang Liao to determine the final strategy. It is suggested that His Majesty write a letter asking Xun You and Zhang Liao for help. ”

"Xun You and Zhang Liao, although they have submitted to Liu Xiu. But His Majesty is very important to them, and he has the grace of knowing them. The two of them definitely have an old affection for His Majesty. ”

"Especially when they surrendered to Liu Xiu and betrayed Your Majesty, they must have felt sorry for Your Majesty in their hearts, and they have no shame to face Your Majesty. ”

"Under this premise, His Majesty asked them for help, and it was difficult for them to refuse. ”

"Humble thinks that there is something that can be done. ”

Sima Yi's expression was solemn, and he said, "There is no other way now, because we can't touch the pumpkin." Zhang Liao and Xun You can get in touch, this is our only chance. If you didn't ask Zhang Liao and Xun You for help, it would not have been possible. ”

Xun Yu nodded and agreed: "I also agree with Zhongda's proposal. ”

With Xun Yu submissive to Liu Xiu, Xun Yu's situation was quite embarrassing. Xun Yu and Xun Yu are relatives and are both children of the Xun family. Now Xun Yu has returned to Liu Xiu, which makes Xun Yu quite helpless.

Fortunately, Cao 'Cao' is the wise lord and did not anger him because of Xun You's affairs.

Cheng Yu also said: "The old minister also agrees. ”

Everyone spoke one after another, and they all agreed to contact Xun You and Zhang Liao.

Cao 'Cao' considered Sima Yi's proposal in his entirety, deduced it in his heart, and also thought it was feasible, and said: "Zhongda's plan, I also think it is feasible. But for big things, you must send someone to contact and operate, otherwise it will not succeed. ”

His gaze swept over the men under his command.

They all lowered their heads, avoiding Cao's '' gaze. Going to Luoyang on an errand is not an easy task. If it is reported by Xun You and Zhang Liao, it will fall into it.

Therefore, they are reluctant to go.

Sima Yi's eyes flashed with a 'fine' light, and he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go." Weichen received the grace of His Majesty's knowledge, but he failed to share His Majesty's worries. Now the pumpkin is related to the fate of Wei, and Weichen is willing to go. ”

"Good!"

After Cao '' listened, a smile appeared on his face.

He was worried that he couldn't find the right person.

Sima Yi is willing to go, it is very good, and Sima Yi is talented, clever and intelligent, and Cao 'Cao' can rest assured. Cao 'Cao' is not worried that Sima Yi will betray when he goes to Luoyang, because Sima Yi's family is in Yecheng.

Cao 'Cao' immediately instructed the soldiers to write a pen and ink, dipped the pen in ink, wrote a letter, 'handed' it to Sima Yi's hands, and said: "Zhongda, go to Luoyang, safety first." If that's not possible, return immediately. ”

"Whoa!"

Sima Yi surrendered.

For Sima Yi, his trip to Luoyang is a matter that has more advantages than disadvantages.

He had two things to think about.

First, he went to Luoyang to do business, which seemed to be dangerous, but in fact there was no risk. Xun You and Zhang Liao are both Cao ''' henchmen, and now that they have betrayed, they are ashamed in their hearts, and it is impossible to report him.

Second, after Sima Yi went to Luoyang, he couldn't get back the pumpkin seeds. If you really get the seeds back, you will make a great contribution to Wei Guoguo, and you can get Cao Cao's reuse.

Therefore, Sima Yicai 'Mao' recommended himself.

Cao '' a smile on his face, and Sima Yi went to Luoyang, which also solved one of his concerns.

Time was pressing, Sima Yi did not delay time, hurriedly left the big tent of the Chinese army, returned to his camp tent to pack up, and left the camp with two soldiers, disguised and headed in the direction of Luoyang.
