Zhang Xi finally agreed to Li Yan and requisitioned Meng Da to fight north.

On the one hand, Meng Da does have this ability, and Zhang Xi also needs this help.

On the other hand, Zhang Xi had such a conversation with Li Yan.

"In this battle, the stream will fight more with less, and you need to work together, not to be rash, if it violates military law"

"If you violate the ban in the army, you should be beheaded by military law, why should the general ask you?!"

Meng Da's biggest problem was that he disobeyed his order and didn't save Jiangling back then, and now Zhang Xi asked this to tell Li Yan that if he Meng Da came out with another moth, he wouldn't give him any chance.

If you should kill it, you will kill it directly.

And Li Yan's answer was to tell Zhang Xi what to do.

Since he Mengda has come to himself, then he must be aware of the corresponding ones. If you still think about something like before, you deserve to be dealt with by military law.

This answer made Zhang Xi finally decide to give Meng Da another chance.

There's no way, now the territory of the Han is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more places that need to be governed. Dahan still lacks enough talent.

A person like Meng Da, who can not only lead troops to fight, but also govern the local area, has been placed in Shangyong County, which is somewhat a waste of talent. Just give it another chance.

Hold it, that Zhang Xi doesn't mind talking to Zhuge Liang to see what Zhuge Liang means.

If you can't grasp it, you deserve to see Lord Yama, and Zhang Xi will not show mercy.

Oh, by the way, there is no Lord Yama going to see Taishan Mansion at this time.

After staying in Chang'an for a few more days, and making sure that no one came to him to say something about what he didn't have, Zhang Xi set off and returned to Jiangling to prepare for the war with the two silly children of the Zhao family and his apprentice.

As for his own son, he was handed over to Zhuge Liang to take to Luoyang for education, so he didn't need to worry about this matter.

In this way, most of the Han began to mobilize and prepare for the fifth Northern Expedition in the fourth year of Yanxi.

And with such a big combat preparation action of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible for Sima Yi, who is in Yanzhou, not to receive any news, otherwise the intelligence system of the Cao Wei Group will be too wasteful.

For this reason, Sima Yi wrote to Cao Ei, hoping to attract Cao Ei's attention, and then his own side also began the process of dispatching troops.

The information that Zhuge Liang received, in fact, what he said was true, Cao Rong recruited and transferred troops everywhere, not to prevent the attack of Shu thieves, but to launch a second operation to recapture Luoyang.

Although Sima Yi was against this counteroffensive operation, he also wrote a letter to persuade the Son of Heaven to stop. But he is not in Yecheng now, and he is not very easy to speak after the previous defeats, and the Son of Heaven does not listen to him at all.

Therefore, no matter what, Sima Yi is still in accordance with the plan of the imperial court, and is seriously organizing the counterattack on Luoyang.

But what about this matter, he is outrageous and outrageous He has been fighting in the army for more than half a year, and the court has not yet made the final decision, what way should be used to counterattack Luoyang.

Up to now, several important ministers of the imperial court are still arguing back and forth about whether to recruit the Southern Hun cavalry to go south to help in the war.

Sima Yi is like asking, what are the ministers in the court doing?!

The Southern Huns attached to it are honest enough to stay in Bingzhou, but if there is a slight change, they should be directly exterminated, who came up with this bad idea, and plans to let the Southern Huns go south to Yanzhou? !

This kind of thing still needs to be discussed?!

Really in the current court, Sima Yi is looking more and more worried.

Since two years ago, Sikong Chen Qun and the general Cao Zhen died of illness one after another, the rights of the court have basically been taken back by the Son of Heaven.

Liu Ye is now about to become a transparent person, and he stays in the mansion all day and doesn't come out.

But these two people told the truth, it was really not Sima Yi who belittled the two, they were really much worse than Chen Qun and Cao Zhen and others.

Now not only can't you give the right advice to the Son of Heaven, but can't even the voices of people like Sun Zi and Liu Fangzhi be suppressed?!

Really, Sima Yi can only sigh when he thinks about it now.

After all, there are some things that really can't be decided by their courtiers who are fighting abroad.

For example, he himself, now his relationship with his own Central Protector is not very good.

Sima Yi controls so many troops in Yanzhou, and his son Sima Shi is stationed in Hanoi, and the father and son are about to command 150,000 troops.

Although Yanzhou still has the power of Sima Yi in Yanzhou, in the army, a central protector appointed by the Son of Heaven is also a necessary existence.

In the past, Sima Yi also had such a middle guard, that person was named Xiahou Ba Sima Yi and Xiahou Ba got along quite well, they could communicate with each other, and Xiahou Ba could also help him solve some military troubles.

But unfortunately, after the failure of the last counterattack on Luoyang, Xiahouba was transferred to Hedong County by the Son of Heaven and served as the Taishou of Hedong County, assisting the current cavalry general Qin Lang to guard Hedong.

The new Zhonghu Army, named Cao Shuang, is the son of the late general Cao Zhen.

If you really want to talk about it, in fact, there is no big contradiction between Sima Yi and Cao Zhen, and they are both ministers of orphanage, so for Cao Shuang, Sima Yi still treats him as his own son and nephew, and when Cao Shuang first arrived in Yanzhou, he took care of him.

But. It seems that Cao Shuang doesn't think so.

Not long after arriving in Yanzhou, Cao Shuang did not deal with Sima Yi everywhere, and repeatedly emphasized that Sima Yi must start preparations for the counterattack on Luoyang in accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time pointed at Sima Yi's strategic deployment, and always liked to show himself.

What kind of thing is this thing that makes Sima Yi angry?!

Even if your father is resurrected, it is impossible to point fingers at me, a lonely minister, you junior, why?!

In this way, the relationship between Sima Yi and Cao Shuang slowly began to get worse and worse.

But even if Sima Yi is unhappy, he can't do anything about Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang represents the Son of Heaven, and a general like Sima Yi is outside, if he has any thoughts or practices about Cao Shuang, let the Son of Heaven know, isn't it a taboo for nothing.

Again, Cao Shuang always talks about Cao Rong's edict or military order, and Sima Yi is not easy to refute. He can't say to Cao Shuang that the Son of Heaven's plan to counterattack Luoyang is like a joke, and there is no possibility of success at all, right?!

Therefore, even if Sima Yi has more dissatisfaction, he has to hold back.

can change the angle and change to Cao Shuang's position, he is also very dissatisfied with Sima Yi.

First of all, Cao Shuang is a child of the clan, and he was born with a sense of vigilance against a general like Sima Yi, and the military power of the Great Wei is in the hands of a different surname, how can the Son of Heaven rest assured? !

Secondly, Cao Shuang had a private conversation with Cao Yi before taking office, and Cao Rong once inadvertently mentioned Cao Shuang's predecessor Xiahouba, and was very dissatisfied with Xiahouba's indulgence of Sima Yi. As the Central Protector, Sima Yi sent troops to counterattack Luoyang without authorization, and he Xiahouba just watched it, and even wrote to defend Sima Yi afterwards? !

This is not what a central protector should do, and it is also the fundamental reason why Cao Rong transferred Xiahou Ba to serve as the Taishou of Hedong County.

As soon as Cao Shuang heard Cao Yi say this, he immediately understood that he was destined to not be too close to Sima Yi when he came to Yanzhou.

For the above two reasons, Cao Shuang is actually very clear about his purpose, which is to monitor and control Sima Yi and prevent Sima Yi from sitting big.

Can. He had just arrived in Yanzhou, and before he went to assassinate Shi Jia Kui in Yanzhou, Sima Yi sent someone to invite him to a banquet, saying that he was to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

What do you want Cao Shuang to think?!

Go, spread it to the ears of the Son of Heaven, and on the first day he arrived in Yanzhou, he was mixed with Sima Yi, so do you want to have a career in the future? !

Don't you go, the dignified general of the expedition to the west, the world's famous general, Sima Yi, who is also a lonely minister with your father, invites you to a banquet, don't you go?!

Cao Shuang really doesn't have any political acumen, he really can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. He will only make one move, on the orders of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, Cao Shuang immediately replied to Sima Yi, saying that when he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to be in the army, he should first go to the army to inspect it, not to mention Sima Yi, even those generals in the army who were waiting to greet the Zhonghu Army in Sima Yi's mansion must also go back to the barracks immediately.

Sima Yi didn't care, it was just a big deal to waste a table of wine and banquet, and even helped to praise it, saying that the new protector had a clear distinction between public and private, but the generals in the army didn't do it.

Why do you know the Chinese Protector at the banquet and go to the army to be inspected by the Central Protector, can this be the same thing?!

But Cao Shuang was not conscious at all, and even after reviewing the sergeant's pawn, he faintly felt that this state of scolding Fang Xuan was quite refreshing.

This further strengthened Cao Shuang's idea of controlling Sima Yi, controlling Sima Yi, and even seizing military power.

Coupled with the hints he received from Cao Rong, Cao Shuang didn't care what Sima Yi thought, he really went against Sima Yi everywhere, and used this to show his military talent.

Of course, if Cao Shuang has this talent, it's nothing, it's a big deal, everyone says "young and vigorous", and this matter will pass.

For example, Huo Quai's illness back then was not accustomed to Li Guang's method of unifying the army, and he was able to say a set of his own ways of using troops, and it was proved in practice that he could indeed use this method to make greater achievements.

Naturally, future generations will not think that there is anything wrong with Huo Qubing saying this.

But Cao Shuang is different.

Cao Shuang himself has no talent in this area, he still has to go against Sima Yi, but every time he only picks thorns, but he can't say what he can do, and even sometimes some military affairs opinions are not feasible even the lieutenant colonel and lieutenant in the army.

Sima Yi kindly persuaded him to say a few words, asking him to read as much as possible, which means to shut up, don't lose your father's person.

But Cao Shuang insisted that this was Sima Yi's practice of suppressing his prestige in the army. Since then, I have become more determined to do the right thing with Sima Yi.

Just like this time, Sima Yi had just written to the Son of Heaven, and then ordered to adjust the arming situation in Yanzhou, and Cao Shuang came to the door.

Cao Shuang came for only one reason - to ask Sima Yi why he changed the edict of the Son of Heaven and ordered the mobilization of the army.

Sima Yi's speechless military intelligence, do you really not read it at all?!
