Cao Rong fainted, fainting in front of the ministers, which scared the ministers who participated in the celebration banquet.

The originally festive celebration banquet suddenly became very chaotic, some people shouted the imperial doctor, some people were calling His Majesty, and the emperor Gao Tanglong even pinched Cao Rong's people hard, hoping to revive Cao Rong.

Sima Yi frowned and picked up the report, and when he saw the military situation on it, he couldn't help frowning, Dawei lost a lot in Jingzhou, and even Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Zhen was killed, and now Dawei has only Wancheng left in Jingzhou to support it.

The key is that this time Wancheng is facing more than one Lu Xun, but the 100,000 allied troops of Wu and Shu.

Yongzhou has Jiang Wei's 120,000 troops, and Jingzhou has Lu Xun's 100,000 allied troops. Originally, the Great Wei State, which had mobilized an army of 200,000 with the strength of a lion fighting a rabbit, found out for a time that the number of enemy troops on the battlefield had exceeded 200,000.

No wonder Cao Rong was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

Everyone hurriedly carried Cao Rong back to the dormitory for the medical officer to diagnose and treat, and Sima Yi grabbed one of Cao Ei's attendants and asked, "Why did Your Majesty vomit blood?" Could it be that Shen Zhen is old? ”

The attendant said anxiously: "Taiwei doesn't know, this is not the first time Your Majesty has vomited blood, before Tianshui City was broken and Guo Huai died in battle, Your Majesty was so angry that he vomited blood." A few days ago, Chang'an was lost, and His Majesty was so angry that he vomited blood, who expected that His Majesty vomited blood again today, this ...... How good is that? ”

Sima Yi said with a worried face: "Your Majesty's body and bones can't withstand such a toss, so you have to take care of it." ”

The attendant replied anxiously, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty can't do this anymore!" ”

Looking at the people who left in a hurry, Sima Yi had no intention of celebrating any more achievements, so he went straight back to the Taiwei Mansion.

Back at Taiwei's Mansion, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao hurriedly came out to greet their father who had returned triumphantly.

"Congratulations on my father's triumphant return!"

Sima Yi said with a smile: "My two good sons, during the period of their father's absence, everything is okay at home?" ”

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao replied with a smile: "Everything is fine at home! ”

At this time, a handsome young man in Chinese clothes also bowed his hand to Sima Yi and said, "Congratulations to Captain Sima on his triumphant return!" ”

Sima Yi looked carefully at the handsome young man in front of him, and suddenly felt a little puzzled, feeling that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Suspiciously, he asked:

"Who is this son?"

The young man in Chinese clothes replied: "The little nephew is the youngest son of Taifu Zhong Xuan, Zhong Hui, Zhong Shiji." ”

Sima Yi suddenly remembered, so he said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that you are the little prodigy in the old lady's family!" ”

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "Thanks to the praise of the captain, the little nephew really doesn't dare to be." ”

Sima Zhao took the opportunity to say: "Father, Zhong Shiji admires his father's talent, and has always wanted to worship his father as a teacher. ”

Sima Shi nodded and said, "Father, Shi Ji is indeed very intelligent, but he is a material that can be made, and the child also persuades his father to accept him as an apprentice." ”

Sima Yi smiled but did not speak, while Sima Zhao pulled Sima Yi into the room to speak.

After the four of them sat down, Sima Yi asked:

"Zhong Shiji, the old man will not accept apprentices, the old man has a military position, now the Great Wei is full of smoke, presumably the old man will soon go out again, there will be no time to teach the apprentices, if you worship me as a teacher, wouldn't it be a waste of youth, besides, your father Zhong Xuan is a great Confucian in the world, why do you need to worship me as a teacher?"

Zhong Hui replied: "My father is indeed full of poetry and books, and his knowledge is profound, especially calligraphy, which can be described as the pinnacle, and he is a unique in the world, and is known by the world as ''Preparing the law and being the ancestor of the book', but what my father has learned is actually not the way of Anbang to govern the country, so the little nephew wants to worship Taiwei as a teacher. ”

Sima Yi felt that Zhong Hui's answer was very compatible, and felt that Zhong Hui was worthy of having a family history, so he had the intention to take the school examination for Zhong Hui, so he asked:

"Since Shi Ji is interested in Anbang's art of governing the country, now that Da Wei Yong, Jing, and Yang are surrounded by enemies on three sides, they are passive everywhere, presumably Shi Ji's nephew also has his own views on the current situation, so he might as well talk about it."

Zhong Hui said: "Originally, after Zhuge Liang's death, Shu was in a slump, and the only people I was worried about in Dawei were Liaodong and Eastern Wu, but Jiang Wei of Shu Han was born, and there was a great tendency for Zhuge Liang to be better than the blue, and in just two years, he took Yongliang and annexed the Western Regions, so that the national fortune of Shu Han gradually had the atmosphere of Zhongxing. ”

"Now, Taiwei has leveled Liaodong, and my Great Wei has no worries in the north, so in the eyes of the little nephew, although my Great Wei is attacked on three sides and is passive everywhere, in fact, there is only one person in the country!"

Sima Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, so he asked in a deep voice, "Oh? Shi Ji, tell me, who is my Great Wei's henchman? ”

Zhong Hui smiled and said, "Only Jiang Wei'er! ”

Sima Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, but Sima Zhao was not happy, he immediately retorted: "Shi Ji, you also think too highly of Jiang Wei, I heard that Jiang Wei has been beaten six times and defeated by the general Cao Shuang of the Wuwei Guard, and he is afraid to show his head in Chang'an City, so even if he has a big trouble, it should be Lu Xun, right?" ”

Zhong Hui smiled and said: "No, no, Cao Shuang can win Jiang Wei six times in a row, then there is only one possibility, that is, Jiang Wei is giving Cao Shuang a plan to be arrogant, otherwise how can Chang'an, with an army of 120,000, allow Cao Shuang's 20,000 army to go wild?" ”

Sima Zhao thought about it carefully and felt that Zhong Hui had a point, so he nodded.

Zhong Hui continued: "If you want to solve the current situation, it is actually simple, our army has the advantage in the Yangzhou battle situation, as long as you stick to the battle line, you will be able to worry-free; The Jingzhou battlefield needs to send a general to stabilize the situation, for example, General Biqiujian, who is good at defense, should be responsible for this important task, and as for Yongzhou, he needs to be a captain himself. ”

Sima Yi smiled: "Oh, Shi Ji looks up to the old man so much. ”

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "The little nephew has admired Taiwei for a long time, and thinks that Taiwei is the pillar of my Great Wei's Zhenguo, Dinghai Shenpin!" To clean up Jiang Wei, among the whole country of Great Wei, only Taiwei can do it! ”

When Zhong Hui said this, even Sima Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and Sima Shi and Sima Zhao both showed smug smiles.

Sima Yi said: "Shi Ji, the old man does not accept apprentices, but if Shi Ji is willing, in the future, the old man will go to Yongzhou, and you can go with the army to experience and experience." ”

Seeing Sima Yi's statement, Zhong knew that he had passed Sima Yi's examination, and his heart suddenly burst into joy, and he bowed his head and said, "Captain Xie!" ”

The next day, Sima Yi was summoned in the palace, and Sima Yi hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint.

Cao Rong, who woke up, looked pale and extremely weak, he sat up from the couch with his body bold, and said to Sima Yi: "Tai Wei, I'm sick alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to drive the expedition in person, but Lu Xun Jiang Wei is too deceitful, and I can only rely on you and Cao Zhaobo to defend against the enemy." ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he thought that Cao Yi was going to order him to lead 80,000 troops to Liaodong to attack Jiang Wei with Cao Shuang, so he hurriedly surrendered his hand and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely cooperate sincerely with General Wuwei to defeat Jiang Wei." ”

Cao Rong said: "Taiwei doesn't have to care about Jiang Wei, Cao Zhaobo already has 120,000 troops on his side, which should be enough to deal with Jiang Wei, so he must send Taiwei to lead the army to Wancheng and defeat the 100,000 allied forces of Wu and Shu." ”

Sima Yi was suddenly a little stunned, but he didn't expect Cao Rong to send himself to fight Lu Xun. In fact, last night's Zhonghui's analysis was very much in line with Sima Yi's mind, and Sima Yi also believed that as long as Wancheng was held, defeating Jiang Wei was the most important thing, and defeating Jiang Wei would most likely break the Wushu coalition army in Jingzhou.

As long as Shu withdraws its troops, Lu Xun will only have 60,000 troops, and he will naturally withdraw in the face of the army that has turned to the battle on the battlefield of Yongzhou, which is the most perfect way to break the situation.

Cao Rong saw Sima Yi's face was embarrassed, and said to him: "Taiwei don't think that breaking Chang'an is a great achievement, defending Wancheng and defeating Lu Xun is also a great achievement. ”
