When the Han army entered the state and the Cao Wei frontier was rekindled with war, Sima Yi, the former governor of Guanzhong, was quiet in the Nanpi years.

At this time, Nanpi had changed greatly, and military camps were built everywhere near the city. Tens of thousands of soldiers practiced day and night throughout Bohai County, and they gradually had the feeling of a professional department.

Seeing this, Cao Wei's Taiwei Sima Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, he was like a loser's dog, and was driven out of Guanzhong by the Han army. The army of more than 100,000 collapsed, and in the end, only a few thousand remnants of the defeated army were brought back, which can be said to be the darkest moment in Sima Yi's life.

At that time, he did not have any bargaining chips, and his brother Sima Fu also surrendered to the enemy country. If Cao Rui wanted to mess with him at that time, he didn't have the ability to resist at all.

is still missing the old love in Cao Rui, or maybe there is really no one to do it. In the end, he did not attack Sima Yi and arranged for him to come to Bohai County to recuperate.

However, although Sima Yi began to be a little unpleasant, Cao Rui was not too nervous. Because in the three years since the capital was moved to Yecheng, the entire Great Wei war machine has been reorganized.

"Don't worry about this, I have my own measure." Sima Yi smiled mysteriously at this, and did not take the crisis in the court to heart at all.

When Cao Rui asked him to choose a place to recuperate, he chose Nanpi. It's not just that Bohai County is coveted, but the most important thing is that it is next to Youzhou.

So where did Ma Tan get such a big hatred? Your brother was killed by Lu Xun, and I didn't kill him!

"Father, I'm afraid it's not a way for us to keep going like this. I heard that many people in the court have already attacked you with your losses and the enemy is like a tiger. I'm afraid it will ...... if it continues like this."

"His Majesty Yecheng's edict is here, and it is said that he is asking his father to lead the troops to aid and annex the state!"

This old artist has already found a way out for himself from the very beginning.

"Father!" At this time, Sima Shi appeared behind Sima Yi and reported respectfully.

A large number of tuntian soldiers were incorporated into the professional army and trained with veterans. With the advantage of the population of the Central Plains, the Wei army expanded by 200,000 troops in a very short time, and the whole country began to prepare for the coming war.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister's old injuries have not healed yet, and I am afraid there is nothing I can do!" Sima Yi shook his head and replied without hesitation.

That's why he won't be stupid enough to rush to help, if the troops that have been expanded with great difficulty are exhausted again, he will really be forced to retire.

"Send someone to tell Wang Jing that he must stick to it and rely on the terrain of the state to hold it as much as possible!" Cao Rui personally issued an edict, ordering Wang Jing to hold on and not to fight no matter what.

To be honest, he still hasn't figured out why Ma Jian is so malicious to him. Before he took office as the assassin of Liangzhou, he Sima Yi didn't even have any intersection with Ma Yan.

"Yui!"

This old minister is Chen Qun, he is too old at the moment, but he still insists on staying in the position of Sikong. When Cao Rui was about to send a large army to aid and annex the state, he stood up.

At present, there are not many veterans left in Great Wei, and Sima Yi can no longer be forced to rebel. If he ran away with the middle of Lao Guan again, Da Wei would really not be able to resist the eastward advance of the Shu army.

"Go and inform the generals, intensify the drills and prepare to collect winter clothes, or it won't be long before we will be pulled, and it will be time for the troops to move!"

Sima Shi's injuries all over his body were basically healed at the moment, but an ugly scar was left on his cheek.

Although he Sima Yi is recuperating in Nanpi, he is not unconcerned about government affairs. Not only did he keep an eye on the turbulence of the Yecheng court, but he also paid close attention to the movements of Dongwu and Ji Han.

"So, in my opinion, how to deal with this matter?" Cao Rui frowned, looked at Chen Qun unhappily, and was not very satisfied with his tone.

This was cut by Ma Tan's own hands, and he almost killed Sima Shi at that time. The people of this Sima family inherited their hard-hitting characteristics and survived.

So when Ji Han had a military force mobilized, Sima Yi immediately found out. Moreover, he was one step ahead of the imperial court to know that the Shu army had entered Kou and merged with the state, and the commander was Ma Yan.

"Your Majesty! At the moment, no matter what, we can't reinforce the army and merge the state! At this time, an old minister slowly stood up and advised Cao Rui.

"When I arrive with troops from Yanzhou, with sufficient troops to maintain, it will be impossible for the Shu army to take the annexation of the state."

"It seems that Ma Jian is not at ease with them, and they have been strictly guarded for three years......" Sima Yi shook his head slightly, his brows furrowed slightly.

"According to the detailed report, Uncle Fu seems to have entered the Xishu court, and his official rank is not low. However, there are people who follow him in and out, and he can't get close to him at all, and he doesn't write back......"

…………

"Father, there is no news...... Sima Shi hesitated for a moment, but finally replied.

It's been a long time, why doesn't Your Majesty sum up your experience? Ma Tan lost that battle, and then sent so many people to fight Ma Tan, do you want to make Ma Tan's military achievements too great, and then let Liu Chan do it?

After playing for so many years, I should have understood a truth a long time ago, Ma Jian himself can't beat it when he appears, so why should he be iron.

"Since Ma Tan is launching an offensive in Bingzhou, why can't we launch another offensive in Nanyang and find a way to cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Jingzhou in one fell swoop?"

Of course, Sima Yi would not refuse, he still ordered Sun Li to go to the aid with part of his troops.

…………

After three years of respite, Sima Yi finally expanded the troop to 50,000 soldiers and horses, and finally had a little capital.

…………

"In the past, when you fought against Ma Yan, have you forgotten the lesson? Could it be that Your Majesty still wants to see Ma Jian stage another flooding of the Seventh Army in Bingzhou? ”

"Speaking of which, does your second uncle have a response from Xishu? How's the mix? Sima Yi looked at the Wei soldiers who were constantly practicing outside Nanpi City, and suddenly asked.

Sima Yi's refusal to obey the edict only sent his subordinate general Sun Li with thousands of people to help, which made Cao Rui extremely angry. However, anger is anger, he did not do anything to Sima Yi, but endured this anger alive.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten how Liu Bang killed Xiang Yu back then?" Chen Qun shook his head, and looked at Cao Ruidao with some hatred.

"Now we are bordering the Xishu border, how can we not only merge with one state? Is the distance between any two of them thousands of miles? ”

"Moreover, the Soochow to the south is also our ally, and although they suffered a major defeat just two years ago, their naval forces still dominate the Yangtze River."

"If you unite with Eastern Wu to crusade against Western Shu, how can Ma Jian take care of both the beginning and the end?"
