Three Kingdoms lazy man

"Mr. Cao, I think this plan is feasible! But there are still some shortcomings. For example, our army should take a two-pronged approach and send an army to contain Soochow!" Seeing Cao Cao's gaze, Xun You gave a slight salute to Cao Cao, Then he said to Cao Cao in a calm tone.

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, then looked at Xun Yu who was silent at the side, and asked Xun Yu softly, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

Xun Yu glanced at Cao Cao, and finally said to Cao Cao with a serious tone: "I think that the Central Plains and Hebei have been war-torn for a long time, and now it is better to recuperate, and our army is not good at water warfare, so it is better not to go south!"

After Xun Yu finished speaking, he looked at Cao Cao calmly, and Cao Cao also looked at Xun Yu silently.

"Haha!" At this moment, Cao Cao let out a loud laugh, and then said to Xun Yu with a somewhat passionate tone: "This old man is determined to level the world. The so-called rest and recuperation, isn't it better when the world is unified? Besides, what about the natural danger of the Yangtze River in the south?" , the soldiers and horses under the old man are enough to overcome this natural danger!"

"Prime Minister is wise!" Brother Xiahou, Cheng Yu and the others below heard Cao Cao's words, and immediately said to Cao Cao with admiration.

And Bai Ren looked at Cao Cao silently. Cao Cao hadn't suffered a defeat in the past few years, and he seemed to have grown up. Now such a hero who underestimates the world may suffer a big loss!

Cao Cao also noticed Bai Ren's gaze, looked at Bai Ren with great interest, and asked Bai Ren with some doubts: "Bai Zifu, if you look at this old man like this, do you have any doubts about what you said to this old man?" ?"

"Although the prime minister is certain to win Jingzhou, don't look at Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, who is eyeing Guanzhong. If the prime minister's army goes south, Ma Teng and Han Sui will lose the deterrence of the prime minister. I'm afraid they will take advantage of the vacancy Ah!" At this moment, Bai Ren looked at Cao Cao's solemn gaze, and said to Cao Cao calmly.

After hearing Bai Ren's words, Cao Cao immediately lowered his head and began to meditate.

Chapter 5 and Seventeen: Sima Yi's Strategies

"A Xiliang thief?" Cao Cao lowered his head after listening to Bai Ren's words, and began to think about what Bai Ren said. What Bai Ren said was not unreasonable.

Now that Cao Cao is in Xuchang, he still has a little understanding of Xiliang. Every time he sends troops to attack Guanzhong, if Cao Hong and Zhong Yao, who are guarding Guanzhong, keep Xiliang's iron cavalry out of the pass and continue to use money to negotiate, the Xiliang army would have Just entered the pass.

"My lord, what General Bai said is true!" Sima Yi, who had been silent all this time, stood up, looked at Bai Ren opposite, and then bowed to Cao Cao and said.

Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi's words, and looked at Sima Yi with some doubts. Since Sima Yi took refuge in him, it can be said that he has been taciturn. People who feel fear.

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi, saw Sima Yi lowering his head, silently stroking his beard, and then asked Sima Yi with a heavy tone: "Since those guys in Xiliang are so ambitious, Sima Yi, what do you think I should do?" Is good!"

"I have three strategies for the Prime Minister to choose!" At this time, Sima Yi listened to Cao Cao's words, lowered his head silently, and said to Cao Cao in a somewhat respectful tone.

Looking at Sima Yi's appearance, Bai Ren frowned slightly. He wondered why Sima Yi was so upset that he dared to show his edge like this now. Wouldn't he be afraid of the knife behind Cao Cao's back?

Sima Yi turned his head to see Bai Ren frowning, with a cold smile on his lips.

"Oh! Let's hear it! I'm very curious, what's your strategy, Sima Zhongda!" Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi's words, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he looked at Sima Yi with gloomy eyes and said.

"I'll start with the best strategy!" Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao's unfriendly gaze, and didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he said calmly to everyone, "The best strategy is that our army first concentrate on calming down Xiliang. , and then go south from Xiliang, forcing Liu Zhang in the middle of Shu to surrender, and then attack Jingzhou in two directions!"

After listening to Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao was silent for a while, lowered his head and didn't know what to think about.

And Bai Ren looked at Sima Yi's appearance, and gritted his teeth silently. This strategy of Sima Yi was the overall strategy of Wei State to destroy Shu State in history.

In history, Cao Cao advocated attacking Soochow first, and then attacking Bashu. He has always implemented the policy of attacking east and defending west. Therefore, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei’s main enemy was Sun Wu. This strategy has been implemented for almost 30 years. Until Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling coup and seized power, and only then implemented the overall strategy of destroying the Shu Han first and then the Soochow.

"As expected of Sima Yi!" Bai Ren looked at Sima Yi's calm face. If Sima Yi had been born more than ten years earlier, there would be a powerful prince in this world!

"Is this plan? If it is to be completed, it will take at least a few years. I think it is a bit too late. Besides, Shuzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It may not surrender to me. Zhongda, you are still too young. Such a plan It's not realistic!" Cao Cao thought for a while, raised his head to look at Sima Yi, and said to Sima Yi calmly.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Bai Ren lowered his head silently, his expression still calm. As for Cao Cao's answer, Bai Ren had already guessed nine times out of ten. It's that Cao Cao was too eager for success. Now Cao Cao is almost 50 years old, and time can't give Cao Cao too much time.

When Sima Yi heard Cao Cao's refusal, he was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Bai Ren, who was sitting there calmly, without any surprise on his expression.

"Isn't this what you Bai Zifu thought? Could it be you..." Sima Yi looked at Bai Ren's appearance and muttered silently in his heart, but seeing Bai Ren looking at the hourglass not far away, Sima Yi seemed to understand What, and at this moment, he also began to feel a little jealous of Bai Ren who was sitting there calmly.

"Sima Yi, do you have two other strategies?" Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi in a daze and looked at Bai Ren who was not far away, and silently looked at Bai Ren, who was sitting silently on the spot, Cao Cao A little calmly withdrew his gaze, and asked Sima Yi calmly.

"This is the best strategy, my lord can send a general who is more capable than General Cao Hong to guard the pass, and unite with Xiqiang to contain Ma Teng and Han Sui!" Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao's questioning gaze, and immediately turned his head, Said to Cao Cao calmly.

"Oh! Who do you think can take on this important task?" Cao Cao asked Sima Yi with serious eyes after hearing what Sima Yi said.

Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao's solemn gaze, lowered his head, and said to Cao Cao respectfully, "I don't know about the prime minister's generals, and it's better for the prime minister to make decisions!"

When Cao Cao heard what Sima Yi said, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he had a deeper understanding of Sima Yi in his heart.

A fox who observes words and colors, and a wolf who sneaks in the dark.

"You tell me the worst plan! Do you listen to the truth?" Seeing Sima Yi like this, Cao Cao silently picked up a wine glass from the table, took a sip calmly, and said to Sima Yi with a cold face.

At this time, Sima Yi felt that his back was a little drenched. He gritted his teeth, held back the fear in his heart, and said to Cao Cao: "The worst policy, the worst policy is to send someone to give high-ranking officials a generous salary, and first appease Ma Teng and Han Sui. heart of!"

"A way to appease? Not bad! Not bad! Try not to fight if you can!" Cao Cao said to Sima Yi with a smile after hearing Sima Yi's words.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Sima Yi immediately relaxed his nervous heart.

"What kind of official position do you think can calm those two guys down?" Just as Sima Yi was relaxing, Cao Cao suddenly opened his mouth and asked Sima Yi in front of him.

Sima Yi listened to Cao Cao's words, looked into Cao Cao's eyes, and replied respectfully to Cao Cao: "It all depends on the Prime Minister's will!"

"The real meaning, ha ha!" Cao Cao smiled smugly after hearing Sima Yi's words, then looked at Sima Yi who was bending over and said with a smile.

On the other hand, Xun Yu and his uncle and nephew Xun You looked at Cao Cao, frowned slightly, and looked at Sima Yi, who was bent over and did not dare to raise his head, with concern in their eyes.

"Sima Yi listen!" After a long time, Cao Cao stopped smiling, looked at Sima Yi who had been bending over, and said to Sima Yi with a somewhat heavy tone.

Sima Yi heard Cao Cao's shout, and quickly responded to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, I would like to obey the Prime Minister's order!"

"This time, the Prime Minister ordered me to be an envoy. The official seal of General Tera Pingxi was awarded to Ma Teng, and the official seal of Liangzhou Inspector was awarded to Han Sui! Order the two of you to guard the western border for me!" Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi in front of him, and his tone was a little heavy. Said to Sima Yi.

After hearing this, Sima Yi quickly responded, "Your order!"

Bai Ren on the side listened to Cao Cao's words, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. This Cao Cao is indeed a traitor in troubled times!There are hidden secrets even in the appointment of an official.

This General Pingxi is the largest general in Xiliang. According to the reason, he has the right to command the entire army of Xiliang, and the governor of Liangzhou can be said to be a local official and has the right to appoint officials.

At that time, if the two get official titles, one wants to rely on the general to command all the troops, and the other wants to rely on the governor to appoint himself as an official in another person's territory, it will be strange if they don't fight!

"It's all right! If there's nothing else, let's leave! Zihuan, Ziwen, Zijian, the three of you stay!" Seeing that the people below fell silent, Cao Cao stroked his beard and thought for a while, with a heavy tone Said to the surrounding Wenwu.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, the surrounding Wenwu breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Cao Cao immediately, and then left Cao Cao's room.

"Father!" After everyone left, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang came to Cao Cao, and said to Cao Cao with somewhat respectful expressions.

"My important ministers of the Cao family, have you all seen it?" Cao Cao looked at the three sons and asked them with a heavy tone.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, the three hesitated for a moment, then immediately nodded to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at his three sons, thought for a while, and asked the three sons with a heavy tone: "If one day I am gone, who do you want to kill?"

Chapter 5 The Exclusion of the Gentlemen

"Is that what father said?" Cao Pi listened to Cao Cao's words, and looked at Cao Cao with wide eyes, while Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi on the side looked at Cao Cao silently, with a little curiosity on their faces.

"I'm just saying if, you can talk about your own ideas!" Cao Cao looked at his three sons and said to the three with a heavy tone.

"I don't know my son, please tell my father!" Cao Pi thought for a while, and said to Cao Cao with a heavy tone.
