Chapter 2 The bowl of Cao Cao's rice bowl
The people who came here didn't notice that behind the main hall, behind more than a dozen maidservants, there was a curtain, and behind the curtain, a middle-aged general in a red robe was eating a bowl of rice.
He gulped down the rice, and although there was only a small plate of cold dishes on the low table, he ate meticulously and attentively.
His red robe was shabby and looked dusty.
To his left, a nine-foot-tall one-eyed general stood coldly with a gun, and on his right was a middle-aged scholar in a long robe.
Quietly in the curtain, the general who lowered his head and grilled the rice suddenly asked, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?" ”
The scholar is Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, who is known as "Wang Zuozhicai", he thought for a while when he heard the words, leaned over and whispered: "Ming Gong, the ministers are here, all of them are from the community." General Beifu ignored Mao and Cui, and only ordered Zhongda alone, I am afraid that he did not want the situation to expand. ”
The one he called Ming Gong was naturally Cao Cao and Cao Mengde.
Cao Cao asked again: "Yuan Rang, what about you?" ”
Xiahou Yuanrang, that is, Xiahou Yuanrang, moved his eyes for a moment, and immediately said: "Whoever insults Xiao Wu, I will kill him." ”
Xun Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly started a round: "Hanoi Sima is quite powerful, don't act rashly." Besides, I've heard about this matter, it's the general of Beifu who has been looking for trouble with Zhongda, and the fault is not Zhongda, and the general is not like this. ”
Xiahoudun nodded and changed his words: "Whoever is humiliated, I will kill whomever I want." ”
Xun Yu's expression froze, and even Cao Cao's rice bowl held in the air paused.
After a while, Cao Cao laughed and said: "The hundred officials forced him, and his gags were easily resolved, not Sima Zhongda's fault." Lonely Sima Zhongda looked at the wolf Gu, he was definitely not a human being, and Pi'er liked him very much, so he spared his life for the time being, and assisted Pi'er in the future. As for these people......"
He circled the rice bowl and continued: "For the country, it is all good. If anyone takes advantage of the opportunity to trespass, then they are all killed. ”
When he said the word "kill", his tone was far more relaxed than that of Xiahoudun, and there were dozens of high-ranking officials outside, but in his eyes, they were just like mustard.
Listening to Xun Yu's ears is also more important than Qianjun.
Xun Yu hurriedly bowed down, not daring to speak.
Cao Cao lowered his head, ready to continue to grill rice, but he didn't admit it, and happened to hear Cao Wu's sentence outside, "I said that this battle will be lost."
Cao Mengde, who said that killing hundreds of officials was as light as a weight, his face changed greatly.
With a "bang", Cao Cao put the rice bowl upside down on the table.
This time, even Xiahoudun bowed silently.
……
Outside, the officials who were looking at each other had already begun to make noise.
"Children, Hugh is talking nonsense!"
The hairy crutch studied.
"General Beifu, what do you say?"
Cui Yan's eyes burned.
When Sima Yi heard the noise of the officials, he immediately seized the opportunity: "General Beifu, do you know that if this battle is successful, the world can be decided?" ”
Cao Wu raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Sima Yi had already adjusted his state and tried to fight back.
"In June of this year, the adults abolished the three princes, placed the prime minister, and the state affairs were set at one."
"The north is established, in July, the army will go out of the Shendu, Tunyuan City, and Chen Bing Nanyang."
"In August, Liu Biao was scared to death, Liu Cong asked to surrender, and the army conquered Xinye, crossed the water, and went straight to Xiangyang."
"In September, take Jingmen, Zhan Changban, Liu Bei went into exile in Jiangxia."
"In October, Jiangling was broken, nine counties were lowered, and Jingzhou was keding."
"Now the prime minister is powerful all over the world, eight out of ten in the world, Liu Zhang is offering, Sun Quan is seer, Zhang Lu is gone, and Ma Teng is safe. When the army of 800,000 is gathered, and there are thousands of Mengchong fighting ships, Jinglu South Finger, land and water, and Jinling is taken directly. ”
"It has been ten and three years since Sun rebelled against the tiger in Jiangdong, and when this Cheng went all the way to Jiangdong, why did the general not say victory and defeat first?"
Twenty-nine-year-old Sima Yi's voice was full of emotion and contagious when he said these words, and all the officials echoed them, and some people applauded loudly.
Even Mao Jie, who is known as the style of an elder, and Cui Yan are in a shocking mood.
Only Cao Wuleng snorted and said indifferently: "Sima Zhongda, don't pretend, I don't believe you can't see that there is a problem here." ”
Sima Yi frowned: "What does the general mean by this?" ”
Cao Wu sneered: "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, my brother has been chasing the Central Plains for 19 years, and in these 19 years, the generals have fought in the east and west, and have made great achievements, but how many people here have fought large-scale water wars?" Is it Zhu Xiahou Cao, or the good generals, or you Sima Zhongda? Do you know when there are wind and waves in the Yangtze River, and what is the hydrology of the river? ”
Sima Yi was stunned and unconsciously took a step back.
"The danger of the Yangtze River is far better than the river, Huai and Ji, do you know where the wind is on the river? When is the east wind and when is the west wind? When did the big ship collide? When to shoot an arrow? When is the string formed? When to jump into the gang? I don't know what kind of battle is being fought? There is no water in the north, and there is no water division in the north, and this defeat is also due to one reason. ”
Every time he asked, Sima Yi's face changed a little, he pressed his heels and stopped retreating, but Cao Wu didn't intend to let him go.
"If the generals don't know about water warfare, they will use the people of the nine counties of Jingxiang, but the nine counties are newly attached, although they have their own rewards, they will inevitably have different hearts. Cai Mao and Zhang Yunxiang were separated, the nine counties were too guarded with their own thoughts, and Wenpin finally surrendered, and the people's hearts were unstable. There are two reasons for this defeat. ”
Sima Yi was finally forced to take another step back, frowning and thinking.
"Ma Chao Han Sui, wolf ambition, repeatedly Koubian, Liu Zhang occupies the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and there are Fa Zheng, Zhang Ren, both civil and military, and the time is in hand. The rear is difficult to determine, and the reasons for this defeat are three. ”
"The expedition was set out in July, and now it is the beginning of November, the army is going south, the labor division is on an expedition, the water and soil are not adapted, and the location is completely unfavorable, and the reason for this defeat is four."
"Sun 100,000...... Sun is young and vigorous, and he will not surrender, Jiangdong has been free of war for many years, and the people are dependent. Big Eared ...... Liu Yuzhou crossed the river with the people, and would rather give up Jiangling than save the people. And our army has just occupied Jingzhou, and the people do not know that the emperor in the north is vast, and everyone is in the enemy's place. The cause of this defeat is five! ”
Sima Yi clenched his hands into fists, and the three reasons for defeat forced him to take three steps back.
"My brother went to the official office when he was young, and built a fine house fifty miles east of the country. When I was still young, my brother read "The Art of War" at night, and once said that because of the system of yin and yang, Sima Fa said that winter and summer are not prosperous. Although the Yangtze River does not have floods, but the surface of the river is cold, and the water is biting, how can there be a reason to go straight down the river in winter? Winter marching, this soldier is taboo, the place of defeat, so it is the cause of defeat! ”
"Sima Yi, you said that I am talking on paper, you are born in Hanoi, have you ever seen the Yangtze River? You say that I talk about it, what is the feeling of the brother reading the military book at night, and the brother also talks about it? You say I'm alarmist, so what is the explanation for these six defeats? ”
Sima Yi's face was pale, and he had already taken ten steps back before and after.
Cao Wu moved out of Cao Cao, which made him unable to refute.
Sima Yi hid his hands behind his back, and if anyone paid attention, he could see that his hands were shaking like chaff, and the momentum just now had completely zeroed.
……
In the curtain, when he heard the section of reading the military book at night, Cao Cao, who was upside down, laughed.
"It's hard for Xiao Wu to remember the events of the year. Winter and summer do not prosper the division, what he said makes sense. ”
With that, he put the rice bowl level with the tabletop, plucked it with chopsticks, and put the upside-down rice back upside down.
He looked at the half-left rice in the bowl and muttered in a low voice, "That's just it, it's not enough." ”
He continued to eat in large gulps, Xun Yu did not squint, as if he had not heard it.
Xiahoudun is one-eyed, and his eyes can't squint.
But a voice outside made Xiahoudun's eyes cold.
……
It was a young man, he was dressed in armor, and he was very conspicuous among the many civil officials.
At this moment, he stepped out of the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Fighting a war, in the final analysis, is fighting a city with a population, fighting with weapons and blades, and fighting with logistics and supplies. Sun Tzu said, ten and surround it, five and attack it, and divide it twice. Now our army has 830,000 troops, and occupies Xiangyang and Jiangling, and the supply is unimpeded, Liu Bei only has 20,000 people, and he is guarding Xiakou, and Sun Quan is far away in Jingkou. Zuo legend, again and again, and then decline, three and exhausted, our army conquered Jingzhou without blood, morale is flourishing, unstoppable, what do they rely on to resist our millions of heroes? ”
Hearing this, Cao Wu remembered the joke in his previous life, and sneered and said: "Eight hundred and thirty thousand against twenty thousand, the advantage is mine?" ”
The young man in front of him naturally didn't understand what the stalk was, and said proudly: "That's exactly what it means!" What does the general have to say about this? ”
