Sima Yi is annoyed now, really annoyed.

There was a shameless boy who made a box of sandalwood and gave himself a gift that he didn't want at all - women's clothing.

Special Sima Yi was angry at the time, and his face turned red!!

Before the loss, the old man still admired you so much, praised you vigorously, helped you improve your reputation, and co-authored you are how you repay the old man?!

That Zhang Yuanchang is too. That's how you set an example?!

It's not good for you to teach something, "Spring and Autumn", "The Book of Rites", you don't want to teach this kind of classic to your apprentices, even if you teach some tactics in the art of war, it doesn't matter. Teach your own disciples to give women's clothes to others?!

Do you think that the reputation of your master and apprentice is not bad enough?!

The first victim of giving women's clothes to people is Guo Huai, and Guo Huai. The famous generals of the Great Wei Dynasty have now been reduced to the point that they can only guard the Wuguan, and it is difficult to say that there is no impact of this matter.

And the whole process of Guo Huai's "victimization" is known to the whole world, starting from Zhang Xi sending women's clothes to Guo Huai in Ji County.

Now that bastard kid on the other side is replicating this, what is the purpose, not to mention Sima Yi, even the junior colonel in the army knows what the other party wants to do.

I'm going to motivate myself to fight.

To tell the truth, such a shame and humiliation is unbearable for a man, Sima Yi was impulsive, and wanted to order the whole army to reorganize and go out of the city to fight to the death with the Shu thieves!!

But. Sima Yi was Sima Yi in the end, and soon, he calmed down.

Judging from the situation, now that the 40,000 army of Shu thieves is attacking Wancheng, they can't even break through the outer defense line they have laid out, so they can only use this clumsy method of agitation to provoke themselves to fight, which shows that there is no other strategy available.

Now, if he is tricked, put aside the ready-made defensive advantages, and use 30,000 troops to fight a field battle with 40,000 Shu thieves, Sima Yi feels that he should not be a fool!!

Therefore, from the perspective of the situation, the best way to deal with it is to ignore the women's clothes sent and continue to hold on to the city.

Didn't see that unlucky Guo Huai, if he didn't care about any women's clothes under Ji County, and continued to attack Ji County according to the original rhythm, maybe Ji County would have been broken a long time ago, how could there be a flank assault by Ma Chao led by Ma Chao.

In that case, the people who are guarding Wancheng now, where is it his turn to Sima Yi, in terms of qualifications and military exploits, Guo Huai is not more suitable than him Sima Yi?!

So, this kind of agitation method must not be fooled, and whoever is fooled will be unlucky.

Intellectually, Sima Yi really thinks so, but if he ignores women's clothing and refuses to fight, a new problem will arise - what can he do with his reputation?!

Although Guo Huai failed to capture Jixian County and reverse the situation in the northwest, he brazenly responded to this matter, no matter what he said on the surface, everyone had to praise him in private, in the end, he was a pure man.

There is already a precedent for Guo Huai, if Sima Yi ignores the women's clothes sent and continues to stand still, refusing to fight, it will be good for his reputation. Well, it's hard to say.

In these years, from the perspective of a family like Sima Yi, reputation is sometimes more important than life.

Sima Yi didn't want to risk the battle and give the Shu thieves a chance to break him, but he also wanted to keep his reputation and not be talked about, so he needed to think of a way.

And the way, in fact, with Sima Yi's brain, it is not difficult to think. After all, he is a smart person who can rank in the top three in this era.

To crack this scheme, and at the same time to save your reputation, then the easiest way is to transfer the contradictions of this scheme.

The biggest difficulty for Sima Yi in the face of this plan is not that he can't control his subordinates, but how to refuse Deng Ai's humiliation in women's clothes with reasonable evidence, and at the same time keep his reputation.

Sima Yi is not good at refusing directly, if he refuses directly, no matter what reasons and excuses he has, in the eyes of outsiders, he is still suspected of cowardice and avoiding war. In other words, confession.

That's no different from wearing women's clothes.

If you face Zhang Xi, a general of the Shu army of the same level, it is better to say, anyway, with Zhang Xi's reputation in the matter of giving women's clothes, and then use this kind of strategy, Sima Yi can even get the support of some people if he does not fight.

The person who can use this strategy is Deng Ai, who is a proper junior for Sima Yi.

Confess to the juniors. It's not nice to say.

Therefore, Sima Yi thought about it for a long time and decided, acting.

First of all, Sima Yi showed considerable anger, but he had to bear back his attitude, and repelled the envoys of the Han army with the rhetoric of "the two countries will not fight each other".

As for women's clothing, Sima Yi didn't say that he would accept it, nor did he say that he would not accept it, so he used it to delay time.

Next, Sima Yi convened the generals and pretended to discuss how to face the current situation.

For the generals stationed in Wancheng, although Deng Ai's women's clothes were given to Sima Yi, to a certain extent, they were also given to them. The whole city of Wancheng is within the scope of this humiliation.

Therefore, the attitude of the generals is very clear - the whole army will go to war.

At this time, Sima Yi stood up again and asked the generals, with 30,000 soldiers against 40,000 Shu thieves, is there any certainty of victory? !

Since you don't want to take on women's clothes and fight, you have to win, otherwise, you will be laughed at by the world.

Again, if you lose the battle and lose a large number of soldiers, there is no certainty that you can hold Wancheng.

Once Wancheng was lost, the Shu thieves took advantage of the situation to attack Luoyang. The Son of Great Wei is in Luoyang, who can shoulder this responsibility? !

Today's situation is actually different from the situation in history.

Historically, when Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi confronted each other, Sima Yi was superior in military strength and ordnance logistics.

But now, the defenders of Wancheng are at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and the geographical location of Wancheng is too important, unlike Wuzhangyuan, even if it is lost, it can be used as a retreat for the three auxiliary forces, if Wancheng is lost, Luoyang will be directly under the threat of the Shu thieves.

The most terrible thing is that Cao Rong stayed in Luoyang.

Therefore, when Sima Yi stood up and analyzed the pros and cons, the generals who had a little brain had already realized the seriousness of the problem.

Indeed, in the current situation, as long as you can hold Wancheng, it is the greatest credit, and if you fight, you may be able to win, but once you are defeated, the consequences are not what these generals in Wancheng can bear.

But the question is what about reputation if you don't fight?!

Could it be that you Sima Yi really want to wear women's clothes?!

And what about those of us who are ordered to fight under you. Fighting with a commander who wears women's clothes to command a battle is a sign that will make our reputation gone.

Therefore, the generals' analysis of Sima Yi is recognized in their hearts, but the war is still continuing.

We have to show our own attitude, anyway, we don't want to avoid the war, but the coach has to go his own way, and we, as subordinates, can't do it without following orders.

Sima Yi also knows what kind of stuff his subordinates are tired of!!

Most of these generals stationed in Wancheng were born in Yingchuan, and he Sima Yi was born in a Hedong family.

When these generals were under Zhang Liao's tent, because Zhang Liao was a military general and was not from a wealthy family, there was no interest relationship between them, so they could cooperate happily.

can be yourself. The relationship between the Yingchuan family and the Hedong family is understood.

Sima Yi felt that it would be a great favor not to hold himself back from these things.

Again, the ability of his own subordinates is just like that, and the enemy can still cooperate a little at the moment, once he relaxes. In the past five years, only Sima Yi knows how difficult it is for him to defend Wancheng.

These things, as long as there is a person who can take responsibility and is willing to endure for the country, he Sima Yi will not have to face the threat of the entire Shu thief Jingzhou army alone.

Therefore, Sima Yi's reaction to his subordinate generals is actually expected, and this is also the reason why Sima Yi chose to act.

My subordinates are really unreliable.

Therefore, Sima Yi stated in public that he was deeply favored by the three generations of the Great Wei Dynasty, so he should naturally focus on the overall situation, and if he lost some reputation, he would lose it.

As long as Wancheng is not lost, then he Sima Yi can be regarded as worthy of the grace of the first emperor and today's son.

That's what I said. The righteousness is awe-inspiring.

And when the generals in the army heard Sima Yi's statement, they were immediately full of admiration in their hearts. Although these people also hope that Sima Yi will carry this matter alone, everyone knows how big a blow this matter will have on his reputation, so when Sima Yi really plans to carry it down by himself, everyone still admires Sima Yi's "ability to bend and stretch".

However, then, Sima Yi changed his words and said, since all the generals are eager to fight, as the commander of the first army, he can't help but take into account the problem of military morale.

This old fox, what do you mean, this is to dig a pit first, and if we are defeated, we can put the blame on our heads?!

It's not impossible, this old fox is not a good person at first glance, and it is rumored that Emperor Taizuwu also said in the early years that this old fox is the appearance of "eagle and wolf". Listen, is that a good word?!

But the problem is that now, the generals have been put on the shelf by Sima Yi's few words, and they can't regret it now, saying that they don't want to fight, right?!

Therefore, I can only listen to Sima Yi continue.

And Sima Yi Sima Yi is really not so shameless.

Although the relationship between the Hedong family and the Yingchuan family is a half-cooperative and half-confrontational relationship, Sima Yi still has the responsibility of being the commander of the first army, and it is impossible to think of an excuse to throw the blame on his subordinates when he is not fighting.

Sima Yi still has this pattern.

What Sima Yi really wanted to say was actually this-to report the situation in Wancheng to the Son of Heaven and ask the Son of Heaven to decide.

Whether to fight or defend is decided by the Son of Heaven, in this way, not only him, Sima Yi, but also the generals of Wancheng, can easily get rid of the reputation of cowardly enemies and avoid war.

The Son of Heaven said to fight, then there is nothing to say, just go straight to work, even if you lose, it is just a disadvantage in the battle, and it will not be too serious for the Son of Heaven to be held accountable.

The Son of Heaven said to keep it. We are invited to fight, but the Son of Heaven does not allow it, and it is really not that we are cowardly and avoid war.

After listening to Sima Yi's words, the generals in the army suddenly lit up - in the end, the old fox had a way!!
