Cao Cao, the king of Wei, suddenly withdrew with a mouthful of old blood, which frightened all the Cao Wei courtiers present,

In order to show their loyalty, they got up from their seats one after another, and they all wanted to come to Cao Cao to visit.

But Cao Cao, who was sitting on the throne after vomiting blood, glanced at them lightly at this time,

After Cao Cao's glance, the loyal actions of the nearly 100 Cao Wei courtiers all came to an abrupt end.

"Lonely yet, what are you panicking about?"

Cao Cao had never seen any winds and waves in his life, although just now when he realized that the second city of Xiangfan was about to be unsafe,

The agitation and physical discomfort caused him to vomit a mouthful of blood.

But it was after spitting out this mouthful, the melancholy blood that pressed on his heart, Cao Cao's mind instantly became clear.

He knew that the more critical the moment, the more he couldn't panic.

After regaining his composure, Cao Cao stopped the restlessness of the ministers with just one look.

Then he motioned to Dong Zhao to pass Xu Huang's recital to the rest of the important ministers in the tent to watch.

Those who can be relied on by Cao Cao as important ministers are naturally shrewd-minded.

When these already smart Cao Wei Chongchen saw Xu Huang's recital, and then connected with Cao Cao's violent reaction just now,

They soon understood what was at stake.

After Cao Cao saw the important ministers in the tent, his face showed a clear expression,

After calming his breath, he said in a heavy tone,

"This must be a plan for Yun Chang to lure the enemy, although Gongming has a strategy, but under the temptation of Yun Chang, he will not be able to be the enemy.

If Gongming is defeated, where will our army go next, and can you have a good plan to offer? ”

After Cao Cao finished saying this, a pair of tiger eyes scanned the more than 100 courtiers present.

But after he glanced around, there was not a single person in the whole huge tent who came out to admonish.

This scene made the old Cao Cao feel sad in his heart.

Thirty years have passed,

Unexpectedly, today, who used to be known as having a lot of talents under his command, he will also feel the sadness of the lack of talents in the army one day.

At this time, Cao Cao regretted his act of giving Xun Yu death a few years ago, and if Wen Ruo was there, Gongda would not end up depressed in the end.

With this uncle and nephew here, why worry about no one to draw a plan for them.

Just when Cao Cao was sighing in his heart, at this time, in the quiet tent, someone finally came out to admonish.

This person has a strange appearance and eyes like an eagle, and it is Sima Yi and Sima Zhongda, who were the prime ministers at the time.

After Sima Yi left the class, after bowing deeply to Cao Cao, he said,

"Your Highness, don't worry, even if General Gongming is defeated, or even the entire army is destroyed, the second city of Xiangfan will not be captured by Guan Yu."

Hearing Sima Yi say this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up,

As soon as Sima Yi spoke, he grasped the focus of Cao Cao's attention,

Does Cao Cao really care about the life or death of Xu Huang's army?

This is not the case.

Cao Cao occupies all the plastered land in the world, the national strength is strong, and the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers will not make Cao Cao feel much heartache.

Cao Cao's biggest worry was that after Guan Yu defeated Xu Huang, he would take advantage of the situation to obtain the second city of Xiangfan.

However, Sima Yi now thinks that even if Guan Yu defeats Xu Huang, he will not obtain the second city of Xiangfan, and this judgment makes Cao Cao interested.

"What does Zhong Da understand, please elaborate."

Cao Cao motioned for Sima Yi to continue.

Sima Yi did not hesitate, he said the analysis in his heart one by one,

"After Guan Yu defeated General Gongming, he didn't take Xiangfan Ercheng, not because he couldn't do it, but because he didn't want to do it."

"From General Gongming's recital, it can be seen that Guan Yu has already known about Sun Quan's alliance with His Royal Highness.

That being the case, Guan Yu was worried that Jingzhou would lose, and he thought that he had already begun to withdraw from the army in his heart. ”

"Guan Yu and Liu Bei, although they are called Junchen, they are actually brothers."

"Guan Yu is the most affectionate person in the world, Liu Bei entrusted him to Jingzhou to guard it, Guan Yu takes care of Liu Bei's affection, and he will definitely not sit idly by and watch Jingzhou fail."

"Guan Yu has the intention of retreating in his heart, but instead he uses a trick to lure the enemy, wanting to encircle and annihilate General Gongming's headquarters, which is Guan Yu's strategy to retreat."

"Guan Yu is a famous general in the world, he knows that General Gongming's headquarters is on the side of Fancheng, if he is not defeated first, his army will not be able to return to Jiangling safely."

"The second city of Xiangfan, after many months of siege by Guan Yu, the city defense has long been dilapidated.

If Guan Yu takes these two cities, for him, he will have few troops left, and he will not be able to defend them.

If he had left a large number of troops, he would have lacked troops and would not be able to resist Sun Quan's army.

Guan Yu will not lose a big one for the sake of two chicken ribs, and disregard the safety of Jingzhou. ”

"Therefore, I expected that once General Gongming was defeated, Guan Yu would quickly retreat back to Jiangling to guard Jingzhou, and he would not get involved in the second city of Xiangfan."

After hearing Sima Yi's analysis, the worry on Cao Cao's face gradually dissipated, and he took a deep look at Sima Yi,

Then he sighed,

"Zhong Da Cong is bright and clear, just broken off the Internet, and it is very within the reach of people."

If others heard Cao Cao praise him like this, they might feel very complacent.

But Sima Yi is such a thoughtful person, he seems to have heard a little jealousy from Cao Cao's words,

This frightened him and quickly lowered his body, not daring to show the slightest smug look on his face.

Seeing that Sima Yi, the biggest knot in his heart, was untied, Cao Cao bent forward, and he stared at Sima Yi tightly with a pair of tiger eyes,

"Zhongda can anticipate the opportunity of Yunchang, so what should Lone do next, Zhongda should have a plan in his heart."

Cao Cao's words were conclusive, as if he was saying an incomparably certain fact.

Cao Cao's words made Sima Yi sweat coldly.

Sima Yi felt that now, he seemed to be completely seen through by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's power as the overlord of the world was now poured out on him without reservation, which made Sima Yi tremble.

He didn't understand why Cao Cao was jealous of him.

But now that Cao Cao has taken the initiative to ask for advice, Sima Yi can't help but answer, otherwise Cao Cao will definitely think that he is hiding and watching his defeat.

Sima Yi was under the huge coercion released by Cao Cao in his heart,

Then he said slowly,

"The minister thinks that His Royal Highness must not let Guan Yu return to Jiangling safely."

"Guan Yu is also ten thousand enemies, and Jiangling is a strong city in the world,

If Guan Yu is allowed to return to Jiangling City safely, this will undoubtedly be a return to the mountain.

With Guan Yu's military strategy, as long as he returns to the army, Sun Quanqi's attack on Jingzhou will definitely fail in the end.

After he repelled Sun Quan in the coming day, he led his army north.

At that time, the defense of the two cities of Xiangfan was broken, and our army no longer had a barrier to prevent Guan Yu's troops from forcing the Central Plains. ”

"Therefore, His Royal Highness's top priority now is to send another general, and the handsome elite soldiers will gallop south to Fancheng.

The flanks behind Guan Yu's army continued to harass him, making it impossible for him to return to Gangneung in the short term. ”

"In addition, His Highness can send an envoy to urge Sun Quan to send troops quickly.

He was ordered to take advantage of the fact that Guan Yu's army had not yet retreated, and took the public security in one fell swoop, the second city of Jiangling, and cut off Guan Yu's back road. ”

"In this way, under the internal and external attacks, Guan Yu will be defeated!

His Royal Highness's confidants will no longer be in trouble. ”

Sima Yi was apprehensive after saying the advice in his heart.

He thinks that the strategy he is offering now is the most beneficial to Cao Cao, but he doesn't know what Cao Cao will think.

And after listening to Sima Yi's strategy, Cao Cao was silent for a long time,

After a long time, he let out a sigh,

"With Zhongda's plan, Yun Chang has no way out."
