Sima Gong?

Hearing these three words in Cao Xiu's mouth, Cao Rong had doubts in his heart at first.

But soon Cao Rong reacted, who was Sima Gong in Cao Xiu's mouth talking about-it must be Sima Yi.

Cao Ei didn't realize that the person recommended by Cao Xiu was Sima Yi for the first time, not that he didn't know the current Wei Chen, but in Cao Ei's heart, Sima Yi couldn't be called "Gong".

Cao Rong vaguely remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather Cao Cao thought that Sima Yi looked at the wolf and would interfere in the affairs of the Cao family in the future, so he wanted to get rid of him.

But Cao Cao's idea was dispelled under Cao Pi's persuasion.

Although Sima Yi finally picked up a life, Cao Rong, who had always respected Cao Cao, had no good impression of Sima Yi since then.

And as he grew up, Cao Yi watched with his own eyes how Cao Pi reused Sima Yi step by step, and in terms of reuse, Cao Pi was to Sima Yi what Liu Bei was to Zhuge Liang.

It's just that under this heavy expectation like Mount Tai, Sima Yi's performance is unsatisfactory - it can't be said that the suggestions he put forward are not good, but the point is that his strategy is often slow down, so Sima Yi also got Cao Cao's "wisdom and chi" evaluation.

Because of the slight dislike for Sima Yi in his heart, Cao Rong instinctively frowned after hearing that Cao Xiu was going to recommend Sima Yi as the general who guarded Luoyang.

Cao Rong's frowning eyebrows were immediately noticed by Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu didn't know what Cao Ei was thinking, and at the moment he was just making a suggestion to Cao Ei out of a public heart, so he bowed his hand and said again in order to let Cao Ei accept his proposal:

"Sima Zhongda is smart and assertive, and has a straight heart. Majestic and fearful, popular and grassy. In the court, Kuang praises the customs, and the hundred bureaucrats are one; On the border, Rong Zhao is resolute, and it is difficult to fold and rush.

Such pillars are exactly what I need at the moment.

When the first emperor was alive, he often took Sima Zhongda as his humerus, and Sima Zhongda felt the kindness of the first emperor and often thought about the heart of service.

If Your Majesty can reuse Sima Zhongda, the minister thinks that our dynasty will have no worries."

Seeing Cao Rong, he was a little displeased, and Cao Xiu didn't call Sima Yi Sima Gong anymore.

It can be said that Cao Xiu's praise for Sima Yi is not insignificant, but it is obvious that this kind of praise cannot make Cao Ei, a young monarch who guesses, completely feel at ease with Sima Yi.

Will Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Zhang He and others be less praised than Sima Yi back then?

But the result?

It's okay not to think of these people, but when I think of these people, Cao Rong's heart aches faintly.

Seeing that Cao Ei's frowning look had not eased at all, Cao Xiu knew that Fang Cai's words could not satisfy Cao Ei, so he could only continue to work harder:

"The battle of Wancheng is extremely dangerous, if it weren't for Sima Zhongda's defense, then Wancheng might have fallen into the hands of the thief army at the moment.

Sima Zhongda can defend Wancheng, but can't he defend Luoyang?"

Hearing Cao Xiu's words, Cao Ei's hesitant expression eased a little, after all, this is a real record.

Although Sima Yi fell into a passive situation at the beginning of the first battle of Wancheng, when Zhang Fei withdrew his troops, Sima Yi was also calculated by Deng Ai and lost Niu Jin, a general.

But wars often look at the results, and Sima Yi can adjust his strategy in time and finally hold Wancheng, then this is a real achievement.

Especially compared with the battlefield in Guanzhong, Sima Yi's defense of Wancheng is even more eye-catching.

Seeing that Cao Ei seemed to be shaken, Cao Xiu slowly approached Cao Ei and said the second reason why he strongly recommended Sima Yi:

"Sima's family, the world is a famous man in Hebei."

Cao Xiu's words came to an end, but Cao Ei heard the deep meaning from Cao Xiu's words in an instant.

In the first battle of Guanzhong, Zhang He and Guo Huai, two famous generals in Hebei, surrendered and were captured, which was a big blow to the Hebei family.

After all, there are so many children of Hebei families, and there are not many who can occupy a high position like Zhang He and Guo Huai in Cao Wei, and it can be said that in the past, Zhang He and Guo Huai were one of the spokesmen of the interests of the Hebei family in the Cao Wei court to a certain extent.

And one

Xiazi lost two spokespersons for interests, and the shock of the Hebei family must be not small, and after the shock, there will be doubts in their hearts.

It is just that Mi Yang is a master who is good at encouraging people's hearts, and Cao Rong blindly showed favor to the Hebei family before, just because he didn't want Mi Yang to take advantage of it.

But grace is a symptom after all, if you want to regain the hearts of the Hebei family and re-establish the Hebei family firmly on Cao Wei's side, the best way is to help the Hebei family re-elect a spokesperson.

Only when interests are connected will they never give up.

In Cao Xiu's eyes, Sima Yi is the best candidate.

After being reminded by Cao Xiu, the hesitation on Cao Rong's face disappeared in an instant.

And Cao Ei also realized that his hesitation might cause a bad impact after it was spread, so Cao Ei immediately smiled and said to the ministers:

"What Da Sima said, don't I know?

What I was thinking was, with Sima Gong's virtue and talent, how could he pacify Luoyang as General Annan?

Edict: In the first battle of Wancheng, Sima Zhongda defended the territory, retreated from the strong enemy, moved to the west of the general, and supervised the military forces of Hedong, Luoyang, and Guanzhong."

In Cao Wei's official system, General Sizheng is the head of the local heavy generals, and Cao Ei's worship of Sima Yi can be said to be extremely honorable.

After saying this, Cao Rong was still insufficient, and he continued to say to the ministers:

"Sima Zhongda's eldest son, Sima Shi, rarely has a name, and now he is worshiped as a cavalry lieutenant and joined the Chinese army."

Under Cao Rong's words, Sima Yi and Sima Shi have both received a leap in their lives, and this leap will have a great impact on their lives.

And for Cao Rong, his heavy reward is enough to satisfy the Hebei family.

Cao Ei's performance On the surface, others can't see Cao Ei's estrangement from Sima Yi at all, all they can see is Cao Rui's respect for Sima Yi.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Ei's words fell, the ministers got up and bowed to Cao Ei:

"Your Majesty is wise."

After finalizing the candidate for the Luoyang guard, Cao Rong set his sights on Yuzhou again.

"There is no danger to defend in Yuzhou, who is Da Sima who can handle the heavy responsibility?"

Cao Rong's tone seemed to be inquiring, but the gaze he looked at Cao Xiu was quite meaningful.

Although Cao Xiu believed that the main direction of attack of the Han army in Japan would be Luoyang, due to the particularity of Yuzhou's geographical location, it was more difficult to defend Yuzhou.

And if you want to be foolproof, the general who guards Yuzhou must be at least above Sima Yi.

At present, Cao Wei's famous generals have suffered heavy losses, and who in the DPRK can stabilize Sima Yi's head?

Except for Cao Xiu, I am afraid there is no one else.

Cao Xiu understood what Cao Ei meant, and he had originally made plans, so Cao Xiu directly said:

"I want to go."

Seeing that Cao Xiu understood what he meant, Cao Heng's face showed a satisfied smile, with the current situation, Cao Xiu's departure from Yuzhou is really the best choice.

Since there is no natural danger in Yuzhou, if you want to defend Yuzhou, you must rely on the power of Soochow.

Now that Sun Quan has been proclaimed emperor, Cao Wei and Eastern Wu are on an equal footing politically, and Cao Wei wants to use the power of Eastern Wu to send a person with a high enough status to sit in Yuzhou.

Cao Xiu, who is below one person and above 10,000 people, can meet such conditions.

In addition, Cao Xiu had been out of Yuzhou and Jingzhou many times in his early years, and he was very familiar with the topography of Cao Wei's southern border, and also had a good prestige in the hearts of the local people.

As long as Cao Xiu leaves Yuzhou, even if Mi Yang really goes to Jingzhou in the future, Cao Rong doesn't have to worry too much about the turmoil in the border people.

Another important point is that Yuzhou is the rear of Luoyang, and if Sima Yi is unfavorable to fight in Japan, Cao Xiu can also send troops to support in time.

Under these considerations, Cao Ei and Cao Xiu both felt that today's arrangement was really tight.

"I will entrust the affairs of the south to the Great Sima, and I hope that the Great Sima will cherish it!"

Under Cao Ei's earnest entrustment, Cao Xiu cautiously accepted Cao Ei's assignment.

And as Cao Xiu left the hall to arrange everything, it meant that today's deliberations were over.

After the Wei ministers retreated one after another, Wang Ji slowly walked in front of Cao Rong.

"Boyu, how is your view today?"

After several years of getting along day and night, Cao Rong and Wang Ji have a friendship between the monarch and the minister.

Wang Ji, who was both civil and military, understood the meaning of Cao Ei's words after hearing Cao Ei's question.

All the arrangements made by Cao Rong today can be said to be for Mi Yang.

Needless to say, Mi Yang's prestige is self-evident, but no matter how good he is, he is only one person, and he can't take care of Luoyang and Yuzhou.

If Miyang focuses on attacking Luoyang in the future, then Cao Xiu can unite with the Wu army and launch a fierce attack on Jingzhou together.

If Mi Yang attacks Yuzhou by surprise in the coming days, then Sima Yi can reproduce the Weinan conspiracy and lead the army to attack Guanzhong.

In either case, under the enemy on the abdomen and back, it is difficult for Mi Yang to get any benefits.

It was precisely because he felt that he had made an arrangement that could hold Mi Yang hostage, so Cao Rong wanted to show off in front of his friends.

But Wang Ji, who has a calm personality, is not as optimistic as Cao Rong.

Sensing that Wang Ji didn't respond to him immediately, Cao Rong thought that Wang Ji was worried about Zhang Fei, and then he said with a smile:

"The one who is jealous of the public opinion, is it Zhang Yide?

Zhang Yide is a famous general in the world.

But after all, he couldn't think of burning the pillar and destroying the city."

In Cao Ei's view, Zhang Yide's talent is worthy of his attention, but it is not enough to make him afraid.

Moreover, it can be seen from Liu Bei's deathbed arrangement of Zhang Fei that Zhang Fei is a talisman that Liu Bei left by Liu Chan's side, how could he be light?

Cao Rong, who thought he could dispel Wang Ji's concerns, heard something unexpected from Wang Ji's mouth after changing his sitting position comfortably.

"The thief army is not only a thief, but also a Wolong!"

Zhuge Kongming?

Cao Rong's first reaction was puzzled, it is true that he had heard of Zhuge Liang's record in pacifying Nanzhong, and it was true that he had also heard of Zhuge Liang's record in capturing Hao Zhao, but couldn't Zhang Fei do such a thing?

If you want to break the containment strategy he and Cao Xiu, there is only one way:

When Mi Yang was focusing on one side, a figure with Mi Yang's general talent appeared on the other side, and he was full of confidence to defeat the Wei army that came from the other side.

Full of confidence, did Zhuge Kongming do it?

Cao Rong subconsciously sat up straight.
