Sima Yi is really grateful to Xiahou Shang, if it weren't for Xiahou Shang's step, he would have made a mistake today, and it was very likely that the Son of Heaven would have a bad idea for him.

Now, although the tone of the Son of Heaven is still a little wrong, no matter what, he always gives himself a second chance.

This opportunity, Sima Yi didn't dare to be sloppy anymore, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he began to think of ways to redeem his lost impressions.

"Cao Zhenjun's words are indeed reasonable!" Sima Yi first admitted Cao Zhen's remarks and said, "The Shu thieves in Jingzhou use the waterway to transfer soldiers, horses, grain and grass, which is indeed more convenient than the Shu thieves in Guanzhong. ”

As soon as he said this, Cao Zhen nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction.

But then, Sima Yi said, "Ranchen thinks that the Shu thieves in Jingzhou may not dare to move. ”

Cao Zhen's face froze, while Cao Rong had a playful smile on his face. This old boy gave his own judgment in the end.

Cao Zhen's face stiffened, because he felt that Sima Yi was opposing his judgment, which was to show that the Shu thieves in Jingzhou had no intention of going on a northern expedition.

And Cao Ei is honest, now Cao Ei looks at Sima Yi more and more unpleasantly.

Good guy, just now I asked you if you have any judgments, and you said no.

Now that Cao Zhenyi said that he has an opinion on the Shu thieves in Jingzhou, you immediately stand up and refute it. Sima Yi, Sima Yi, what do you want to do?!

But no matter what, Sima Yi finally made a statement, and Cao Yi only smiled slightly, and continued to ask, "General Sima, what do you mean by this?!" ”

Sima Yi's heart suddenly chuckled. The title of the Son of Heaven doesn't seem to be a degassing.

used to call himself an official position, which is a rule of officialdom and a kind of respect for himself. Now calling "General Sima" doesn't seem to mean to express closeness.

But now, Sima Yi has no choice, what should be said, he has to say it.

"Three years ago, Wu lord Sun Quan treacherously attacked Jingzhou, although it did not succeed, but the Wu-Shu alliance has been broken, and it has not been repaired. Jingzhou Shu thief, both north and south are enemies. ”

"The army of Jingzhou, sixty percent of the tun in the southeast to defend the Eastern Wu, only forty percent in the north to resist the heavenly army, more than enough to defend but not enough to attack. If the Shu thieves in Jingzhou go north to attack Nanyang in order to respond to the entry of the Shu thieves in Guanzhong into the Central Plains, His Majesty does not need to send reinforcements for Nanyang, but only needs to order a man of argument to send an envoy to Eastern Wu, and the Lord of Wu will inevitably attack Jingzhou again. ”

Therefore, the minister thought that the Shu thieves in Jingzhou had more than enough self-preservation and insufficient strength to advance north. Even if the Guanzhong Shu thieves want to invade the Central Plains, it is difficult for Jingzhou to provide assistance, which is not a cause for concern. ”

"If there is no Jingzhou army to contain it, my Great Wei soldiers, relying on the danger of the three passes, and having a famous general like Cao Zhenjun to guard it, why worry about the Shu thieves attacking the Central Plains?!"

After listening carefully to Sima Yi's analysis and judgment, Cao Rong nodded slightly.

This old boy, although he is not real, and his mind is a little unpredictable, but the level is really high.

After listening to what he said, and then thinking carefully about the situation faced by the Shu thieves in Jingzhou now, it is indeed a two-sided enemy, and they dare not act without permission.

Whether it is attacking in the south or in the north, there will always be one side that will take advantage of the situation, and Jingzhou's current territory and population size, the number of troops can be maintained at about 100,000, which is already the limit, and it is impossible to support Jingzhou's two-front battle.

Cao Rong had to admit that Sima Yi still had a strategic vision, and it was very good.

It's just a little bit that Cao Rong is very dissatisfied, you said this earlier, when I asked you before, you old boy, what do you mean by pretending not to speak?!

But for the sake of Sima Yi finally saying his own judgment, it also allowed Cao Ei to make up for the Shu thief's entry into the Kou with confidence, Cao Ei didn't want to worry too much about this Sima Yi.

But Cao Zhen didn't do it.

When he was in Wancheng, he was defeated and fled, and the situation was not optimistic, so Cao Zhen was very polite to Sima Yi, and he also took the initiative to let Sima Yi preside over the battle of Nanyang.

But what Sima Yi's ability is, Cao Zhen didn't see it. There was no way, not long after Cao Zhen was defeated and retreated to Guannei, Guan Yu of Jingzhou chose to withdraw his troops back to Xiangfan, and he really didn't let Cao Zhen see how Sima Yi's command ability was.

Yes, Cao Zhen also recognized that after Zhang Liao's defeat in Deng County, Sima Yi's revival of the morale of the army in a short period of time was a manifestation of his ability. But Cao Zhen thinks that he can't do this.

After that, the two of them were in different areas, and there was no intersection, and Cao Zhen didn't have much contact with Sima Yi.

But now, Cao Zhen has to stand up and refute Sima Yi, otherwise when will he be able to counterattack the attack? !

"The minister thinks that what the hussar general said is inappropriate!" Cao Zhen stood up and suggested to Cao Rong again, saying, "Although the Wu-Shu alliance has been broken, in recent years, there have been continuous envoys between Wu and Shu, and there may not be no intention of rebuilding the covenant. If Wu and Shu form an alliance again, the Shu thieves will go out of Jingbei, Guanzhong, and the Wu thieves will go out of Pengcheng, and they will plan to make the Central Plains of the Great Wei Dynasty. This is also unknown!! ”

Cao Zhen said this, Cao Rong was really a little vague.

This possibility is indeed not impossible.

And if it is really as Cao Zhen said, then the Great Wei will be equivalent to returning to the situation of the fourth year of the early Huang Dynasty and facing the attack of Wu and Shu.

Cao Pi had a hard time dealing with this situation, not to mention Cao Rong, who had now lost Guanzhong and could only retreat in the Central Plains to protect himself.

Cao Rong's heart, which had just been relieved by Sima Yi's words, made waves again.

"So. I'm afraid of the resumption of the first four years of the Yellow Dynasty." Cao Rong muttered and said.

As soon as he heard this, Sima Yi immediately stood up, comforted Cao Rong, and said, "Don't worry, the Son of Heaven is not worried, what the general of the town army said is wrong. Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, is a capricious person, who does big things and spares his life, forgets his righteousness when he sees small profits, and betrays the alliance twice, even if the Shu thief renews the alliance with him, how can he fully trust him. Even if the two families form an alliance, it is just that the two thieves of Wu and Shu use each other, how can they restore the matter of the fourth year of the Yellow Dynasty?! ”

Cao Rong thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be right.

In terms of Sun Quan's style of the old fox, under the two betrayals of the alliance, even if he reconciles with Shu, it is impossible for Shu not to strengthen his defenses against him.

There is one, there are two, there can be three, how do you know if Sun Quan will choose to backstab for the third time?!

Again, judging from the performance of Soochow's foreign operations in recent years, this group of Jiangdong turtles can create a little momentum by relying on the advantage of sneak attack, and once they enter the stage of stalemate between the two sides, the first to choose to retreat and seek peace must be the Soochow side.

In the first year of Huang Chu and the fourth year of Huang Chu, Eastern Wu sneak attacked Qingxu and Xiapi, and their strategies were extremely brilliant, and they really caught Dawei off guard and lost the city and land.

But as long as Great Wei can withstand the first wave of Dongwu's offensive and hold the city, as long as it lasts for more than half a year, Dongwu will be weak and automatically withdraw to sue for peace.

As for the fifth year of the early Huang Dynasty, Dongwu took advantage of Liu Bei's new funeral and sent troops to attack Jiangxia and Jingnan two counties, which was simply miserable, almost making people counterattack Changsha with a sneak attack, and finally had no choice but to retreat.

Bearing the infamy of sneaking up on allies, except for looting some military rations and property, he didn't benefit at all.

Now it can be seen all over the world that the group of turtles in Dongwu, that is, the early stage of the sneak attack, can be a little interesting, as long as they can hold on for a period of time, the combat effectiveness of those Jiangdong turtles will plummet, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

Now in the southeast, there is Cao Xiu on the Yuzhou side to look at Huainan, and Jia Kui on the Xuzhou side to look at Qingxu, both of them are not incompetent, as long as Cao Xiu, who is in Runan, can obey the orders of the imperial court, and does not waste or send, those Jiangdong turtles will never have the opportunity to get closer to the land of Yanzhou.

From this point of view, as Sima Yi said, even if Wu Shu allies again, it is just to use each other, and at the same time, both sides have to guard against whether the other party will backstab. What is the use of such an intriguing alliance?

Cao Rong put his mind at ease again.

But Cao Zhen really quit!!

Sima Zhongda, let's have no grievances. What do you mean by your old boy, do you have to spoil me for a good thing?!

Cao Zhen gave Sima Yi two blank eyes on the spot, and then ignored Sima Yi's stunnedness, and knelt down directly in front of Cao Yi.

"Your Majesty, even if the Shu thieves in Jingzhou are not worried, but the Shu thieves in Guanzhong are in front of them, if you don't plan it first, it will be a trouble!" Cao Zhen bowed to Cao Rong again and again, and then said, "Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to give your ministers 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Xu Chen has the right to arbitrarily attack Guanzhong before he takes the opportunity to defeat the conspiracy of Shu thieves." If it is done, the Great Wei will recapture Guanzhong, coerce Liangzhou, and destroy Shu is just around the corner; If it doesn't work out, with the risk of the three passes, the Shu thieves will not be able to invade the Central Plains, and if His Majesty wants to be held accountable, the minister will bear it. ”

After speaking, Cao Zhen continued to kowtow to Cao Rong, and his head was red, and the bluffed Cao Rong hurriedly asked Qin Lang to help Cao Zhen up to stop this clan uncle's self-harm.

By the way, Cao Rong is also a little confused about today's discussion, what is the theme?!

Isn't it a discussion about whether the Shu thieves have any intention of invading the Central Plains, and if so, how to deal with it?!

How did Cao Zhen say this, and it became that Dawei should send troops to counterattack the attack and seize the lost territory? !

Don't say that Cao Yi is confused, Sima Yi is also confused. What is this?!

Didn't you just say that it was possible for the Shu thieves in Jingzhou to invade Nanyang, why did it suddenly become that Cao Zhen was going to lead 30,000 soldiers and enter Guanzhong in the west?!

Who the hell is hitting whom?!

One more. Did I offend Cao Zhen again just now?!

Sima Yi was thinking about it like this, and Chen Qun, who had stood for a long time and had not expressed his opinion, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Cao Zidan, discuss before driving, you are so nonsense, what kind of system !! become?"

As soon as the old man spoke, he suddenly fell silent!!
