When it was ugly, when most of the people were asleep, Sima Yi changed his clothes and went to the Zhonglang General's mansion to visit Cao Ang.

Sure enough, Cao Ang was still waiting for him at the moment.

In the main hall, he read the notes and military newspapers sent from all over the country, and even placed books, looking at this appearance, if he didn't come, maybe Cao Ang would have waited all the time.

"You're here."

Cao Angtang was waiting with a smile, there were no guards outside the door, only in the main courtyard, and he had never seen Xi Zhicai and others.

"General Zhonglang, I have already accepted Baoyu," Sima Yi was quite calm at the moment, he could understand Cao Ang's heart now, so he dared to come to see him at this time.

Sure enough, Cao Ang was still waiting for him.

For the eldest son of the Cao family, he will never rely on Xu Zhen all the time, he will always have to be in charge, otherwise it will be meaningless for Prime Minister Cao Cheng to hand over the power of acting on his behalf to him.

"Well, how about that?"

Cao Ang asked with a smile.

"It depends on Ma Teng, how to decide," Sima Yi was quite dignified, he couldn't get Ma Teng's mentality, and said with his hands together very clearly: "In the next opinion, Ma Teng is very likely not to agree, or will continue to implement the plan previously delineated, causing civil strife in Xudu." ”

"Why?"

Cao Ang's expression didn't change much, what he wanted was for Sima Yi to give him advice like this, so even if the strategy couldn't be achieved and was hindered, what he wanted had already been achieved.

Years of conquest and governance of the government.

Cao Ang has gradually developed a more high-end mentality, not seeking immediate benefits, nor letting people know what he really wants.

In fact, for him, what he wants most is Sima Yi.

As long as he can enter his own mansion, it doesn't matter how Ma Teng responds.

"He definitely wants to die," Sima Yi raised his head and stared at Cao Ang, his eyes were no longer dodging at this time, since he was determined to apply for the expedition and give advice to Cao Ang, he didn't plan to hide it anymore.

In the future, it will also be a merit.

Because Cao Ang has driven him to a desperate position, except for the mansion of General Zhonglang, no one will accept him as a guest into the mansion, and Sima Yi's favorite Xun or even more impossible.

After all, last night, Sima Yi was indeed in the Zhonglang General's mansion, and Cao Ang immediately had a plan, and went to the Son of Heaven to ask for an edict the next day.

This change, coupled with the fact that the reward given to him was worth a thousand gold, it was useless to explain it, and all the people in Xu Du would think that the Sima family had surrendered to the Cao family.

Of course, Cao Cao has always been very good to the Sima family, even when Dong Cheng was in turmoil, they were obviously responsible, but Cao Cao did not punish him, but laughed it off.

This is a reward for the grace of the Lord and will benefit the family for future generations.

Although Cao and Xu have been trying their best to get rid of the intricacies of the scholar family and the famous family, Cao Cao still respects the "unspoken rules" that have been established among the scholars over the years.

"After arriving in Xudu, he visited famous teachers and friends, not because he wanted to make some contacts immediately, but because he was trying to revive the people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty."

"I was originally a scholar, and because I was close to the Cao family, Ma Teng didn't dare to approach, which is enough to prove that the people he visited were all old acquaintances or official eunuchs who were not close to the Cao family."

"General Zhonglang should be able to guess, this person's mind is by no means simple, he is in order to disturb the rear of my Xu Capital, not only can he give Ma Chao, who is in Xiliang, a reason to send troops to get rid of the constraints of the edict of the Son of Heaven, but also to mess with the territory of the Cao clan and make the southern expedition unsmooth."

"The most important thing is that he seems to see Cao's precautions against riding, and this gap is his opportunity!"

Cao Ang's eyes were suddenly sharp, and he glared at him fiercely, just mentioning other things, he could still keep calm without any waves.

But when Xu Zhen was mentioned, Cao Ang's heart was still inevitably tight, and he shouted in a low voice: "Shut up." ”

Sima Yi knew that he was speechless, so he kept his mouth shut and gave up.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and only the breathing of the two could be heard, and after a while, Cao Ang said: "Bowen is my most beloved brother, and my father even plans to marry the other two daughters to him together, and in the future, my daughter may also marry his eldest son." ”

"How can such an intimate relationship be discussed?"

"That's right," Sima Yi nodded slightly, and when he looked up, his eyes were empty, as if he was in a daze, his hands were clasped in his sleeves, not angry or happy, calm and terrifyingly stable, so that people could not see any mood fluctuations.

It's that the bags under the eyes are slightly deeper, so there is still an invisible majesty that lingers spontaneously.

Cao Ang said something serious, and soon softened, looked at him with a smile, and said, "You said, how many people have seen Cao's defensive car riding now?" And how do you see it? ”

"From Jizhou to Youzhou, many people can see it."

"No," Cao Ang shook his head suddenly, "This transfer was his own effort, and my father didn't agree to it at all." ”

"Outsiders don't know...... Sima Yi subconsciously replied, and then his eyes suddenly widened, and a burst of essence burst out, "Yes, outsiders don't know, this is the car rider himself?!" ”

"Not good!"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Ang reluctantly, and said quite shockedly: "The car rides...... Really want to go to the border! ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

Cao Ang looked at him puzzled, he originally wanted to go, there are too many things that can be done at the border, and it is very suitable for people like my brother who can't be idle.

"Heavy troops, borders, people's hearts!"

Sima Yi said three words in a row.

The mystery that he had been unable to understand in his heart was unexpectedly solved at this moment.

It's not the Cao clan guarding against Xu Zhen now.

He ignores human patience.

The rider is impatient, and now he is guarding against the Cao family!

That's why he advocated retreating to the border, seemingly retreating to Jizhou, but taking away the people and financial resources of Jizhou, and vividly interpreting the aspirations of the people.

In fact, it is to go one step further, to strengthen its own power on the border, with more than 300,000 heavy troops, what a prestige, no one can control him when he arrives in Bingzhou.

And the territories occupied by those foreign clans in the state will definitely not be able to resist his iron hooves, and within a year, these territories will definitely be integrated, as for how to govern them, he naturally has the ability.

After all, there are a lot of capable people under his hands, and Jia Xu still has a lot of contacts in the Liangzhou area, plus so many scholars follow him into Youzhou, and they will also migrate to Bingzhou in the future.

His territory, connected together, is another northern overlord, and, once it grows, he has loyal soldiers and horses in hand, and people on the border can also threaten the court in the future.

After the Great Rule, he will become the largest prince.

"My Han Xin."

Sima Yi remembered that summer, Cheng praised Xu Bowen, he was the only one with a foreign surname among the generals of the Cao family, and he could not use the charm of the prime minister.

Wen is the mastermind, and Wu is invincible.

As a result, is it a prophecy now?!

Not only can he be Han Xin, but he may also be another "King of Qi" who is a great threat to the prime minister in the future, how can he be cut into a "Marquis of Huaiyin" and then killed?!

I am afraid that it will take ten years to plan, continue to use strategies, and have a calculating mind before we can have a chance to succeed.

Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and other celebrities are all rare conspirators in the world, how can they not admonish.

"General Zhonglang, I'm afraid, the strategy is going to fail."

"Why did you lose?!"

At this moment, another voice came out, coming from the inside of the hall, Sima Yi looked for the sound, and it was clear from the darkness, but it was a pale Xu Zhong.

He was still in green clothes, with a long beard, a rather arrogant complexion, and stared at Sima Yi with humble eyes.

"Si Nong."

Sima Yi turned around slightly and bowed down.

He didn't expect that Xi Zhong would be here, and it was Cao Ang who specially arranged to eavesdrop on their conversation, but fortunately he didn't say anything unkind, otherwise the situation would be even more difficult in the future.

"You just said that the strategy is going to fail? Which one? ”

"Ma Teng!"

Sima Yi looked at him level and didn't know where, he didn't change, he hid all his emotions in his heart, and didn't show his face, "What I said below is to judge that Ma Teng will not listen to Zhonglang General's words." ”

"The plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf cannot be done!"

"But fortunately, this is also the case, if it succeeds, the chariot will definitely take advantage of the situation to take Tongguan, enter Yongliang, and fight with Xiliang!"

"He is bound to win Xiliang! Xiliang is the place where you really want to ride! ”

Xi Zhicai's lips were a little pale, his eye bags were very deep, and even his eye circles didn't look healthy because of this, and the whole person looked sickly, and after listening to Sima Yi's words, he coughed twice.

"He wants Xiliang in order to really gain a firm foothold and develop and grow."

"That's right," Sima Yi arched his hand to him and said again: "There are Hangu and Tongguan as passes, and you can reject 100,000 soldiers, and there is Tianshui garrison, and then you can refuse 100,000 soldiers." ”

"Coupled with the use of soldiers like gods, as long as he does not die, Liangzhou will become more and more stable, decades later, it is not an exaggeration to be like a country, the hearts of the army and the people are in his body, I am afraid that I have to seal a king with a different surname, in order to stabilize the heart of the generals under the command of the car riders."

This is definitely not alarmist.

If his merits really reach the point of covering the ancient and modern, no reward is excessive, and all rewards are not for rewards, but to suppress his momentum, and not to make the people under the chariot dissatisfied, if the land is not a country, what reward will he take to reward others?!

】

can only turn his back on the alliance of the white horse and give him a king with a different surname.

But once this is given, it means that I don't know how many years it will take to recover the land of Xiliang.

It turned out that Xu Zhen's strategy was here, and he had been staring at the Xiliang Land to seek it, and he didn't come back to stabilize the seclusion and merge the two states.

"Do you know Xu Bowen?"

Xi Zhong glanced at him calmly, "He is a person who is dedicated to the public, not for personal gain, why did he take Xiliang for nothing?" ”

"I don't know," Sima Yi shook his head neatly, "I really can't guess it, but acting like this, it must be for Xiliang, but I'm afraid only he knows what he wants." ”

Xu Zhen does not want money, never makes friends with celebrities, and since he entered the office, he is fair and strict, and he must bow to everything.

Even if he is in a high position now, it is still like this, so few people can guess his thoughts, thinking of this, Sima Yi immediately took advantage of the fact that he had not finished speaking, and added, "Maybe it's for purity?" ”

"Hehe......" he smiled, "In Xudu, even in Jizhou, you have to be constantly guessed and beware by the clan generals, so hiding away from it will develop cleanly, and no one will be able to suppress him in the future. ”

The Emperor of Heaven is far away......

It's really enviable.

This reason is really possible, after all, the Cao family has even done assassinations, once it is detected, the heart will be cold, Xu Zhen must have noticed too many things, and his patience in his heart is exhausted.

So he began to plan for his future purity, he is dedicated to the public, but he is not a foolish person, but a real smart person's mind, if he can't keep it, how can he talk about holding the world?!

"Humph......"

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly directly, because he didn't know what Bowen wanted after thinking about it, but at this moment, this Sima Yi can only be said to be a person with a very vicious eye, and although he has not led the troops, he must know how to lead the troops, this is at home I have read many military books.

Because he could see at a glance that what Xu Zhen was looking for was Liangzhou.

The good attacker does not know what he is defending.

The good defenders do not know what they are attacking.

Sima Yi may be a good keeper, so he can compare his heart to his heart to deduce what Bowen wants.

Retreat to Xiliang, sitting on two passes and one city, can resist hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, and Bowen's soldiers ...... Common sense cannot be used to determine the conclusion.

"After Xiliang, occupy the pass, that is, enter Hanzhong, go down to Sichuan and Shu...... What a Xu Bowen! ”

Xi Zhicai closed his eyes, he never dreamed that the person he wanted to accept as a guest back then would be such a character.

Who can really suppress him now, the prime minister is probably already in the south, and the whip is beyond his reach.

Unexpectedly, after the recommendation, such a demon was released.

"Therefore, Ma Teng can't stay in Xudu, and the reward can't be implemented immediately, at this time, the eldest prince should transport the things promised to Xiliang immediately, without waiting for Ma Teng to leave, and the next goodbye, you can kill him, and you can do evil."

Xi Zhicai immediately admonished in a deep voice, "If it is, the eldest prince is not easy to start, this matter can be handed over to the school affairs to do, and under the bitter drinking at the banquet, Ma Teng will be killed, and the school affairs will immediately search for Xiliang people." ”

"In this way, the rear can be stabilized, and the horses can be provoked to go beyond the army, and the troops can be fought, and the goods of the army can also be delivered."

"The eldest prince, you should strike first."

Xi Zhicai's expression was cold and quite ruthless, but he couldn't help but cough a few times, his face was a little tired, and he had been coughing all the time recently.

At night, the body will also have a fever.

"First strike, preemptive ......"

Cao Ang's heart is complicated, and if he wants to go back on his word, it is actually a little difficult for him to accept, but if he doesn't, Ma Teng is very likely to cause chaos.

Only if you are ruthless, you can suppress it.

The soldier is a trick, so it seems that there is no need to be coy, the way of truth and reality has existed since ancient times, if you want to blame, you can only blame Ma Teng, you are fooled......

……

The three-day period with Ma Teng has arrived.

At the same time, the day before, all the materials that Cao Ang promised to give to Xiliang, as well as the reward edict to Ma Teng, were also raised and set off ahead of schedule.

Ma Teng, who received the news, naturally came to the banquet with joy today.

When they arrived at the mansion, they got out of the carriage with their son Ma Tie, looked around, and straightened their thick white velvet robes.

Although the New Year has not yet passed, it feels like it is winter.

Regardless of whether he answers or not, at least Cao Ang, the eldest prince, is really based on benevolence, righteousness and faithfulness, and there is no difference between his reputation abroad.

His friendship is deep, so Ma Teng feels that he is nine out of ten, and the choice should be in his own hands.

After this banquet, you can visit again in the future, and you can find out a lot of news.

The planning in Xu Du has just begun.
