The Three Kingdoms

The Wei army and the Liang army faced each other in front of the city. The battle was imminent, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. However, the tragic battle did not come as expected.

Wei Jun seemed to be carrying out a siege strategy, and hadn't launched any siege actions for several days, which made the Liang army generals in the city puzzled and at the same time a little uneasy.

outside the city.

Under the night, snow shrouded Wei Jun's tents one after another.

"Any news from Pound?"

In the main tent, all the generals gathered together, the crown prince Cao Ang's handsome face was reflected under the oil lamp, and his expression looked a little serious: "What is Ma Chao's attitude? If we really can't persuade him, we should start fighting as soon as possible." Well, if we wait like this, the weather will get colder and colder, and once we enter the coldest winter, it will not be conducive to our siege operations!"

"Prince, there are still three days before our appointment with Pound, we will wait for another three days!"

Zhang Liao stood up, bowed his hands to Cao Ang, and replied in a deep voice: "If there is no news of him after three days, we will storm Jicheng. Jicheng is very difficult to fight. According to reports from our scouts, Ma Chao has hoarded a lot of food and grass in the city." , is enough for him to last for a year and a half, whether this battle will be fought or not, we have to trust Pound!"

"General, in fact, I don't want to fight either. Han Sui surrendered, and Ma Dai won. If Ma Chao could surrender, Xiliang would be merged into our Great Wei without bloodshed. You have received a letter, telling us to complete the Liangzhou campaign within the end of the year!"

Cao Ang sighed, and said: "Recently, the Wu army is a little ready to move, in Jingzhou. There are signs of large-scale mobilization in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou. Although many people in the court think that the Wu army has just captured Bashu. , The soldiers are exhausted and unable to fight our decisive battle.

The reason why they mobilized troops.But it's just a bluff, wanting to recover the defeat of Bingzhou.But the father was uneasy, and he never dared to underestimate Sun Zhongmou, and now our big Wei army has been suppressing Xiliang, which will make us not confident enough to face Wu Jun! "

"Prince, don't worry, as long as General Pound successfully persuades him to surrender, we will not only end the battle by the end of the year!"

A gleam flashed across Guo Jia's eyes, and he said coldly: "You can still go north to Bingzhou and take the entire Bingzhou land!"

If this battle cannot be fought, Wei Jun does not need to rest.It is not difficult to take part of the soldiers and horses to the north, and take Bingzhou from Beidi County based on the distance between Liangzhou and Bingzhou.

So he would rather spend more time than fight this battle. It is not difficult to defeat Ma Chao, but the casualties must be huge.

Can not fight.Still not playing well.

"Hope it!"

Hearing this, Cao Ang nodded, looked at Sima Yi, remained silent for a while, took out an imperial edict from his long sleeves, and handed it to him: "Military Master Sima. This is the imperial edict given to you by my father. My father has said it, and I'm done reading it." Burn it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sima Yi stood up, knelt down, arched his hands, and respectfully received the order.

This decree will be burned, because it is only a secret decree.For those who cannot see the light, Cao Cao's order at this time is nothing more than to appease his heart.

"General Sima, Zuo Weiwei is one of the twelve main guards of the Wei Dynasty. None of us want any changes in it to affect the combat effectiveness. You can do it!" Cao Ang said with a slight look in his eyes.

As the heir of Cao Wei, if it is about fighting, he may have only learned about Cao Cao's three or five things, but when it comes to employing people, he has inherited [-] to [-]% of Cao Cao's ability, which is one of the reasons why Cao Cao made him the prince.

As for Sima Yi, if he wanted to use it, he also had to suppress it. As Guo Jia said, Sima Yi's ambition was too great, and if he didn't suppress him, he would counterattack sooner or later.

"Prince, please rest assured!"

Sima Yi took a deep breath, calmed down, and said firmly, "Within a month, I will definitely restore Zuo Weiwei to his original fighting strength. I, Guan Zhongerlang, will definitely not disappoint the Crown Prince and His Majesty!"

"So good!"

Cao Ang showed a reassuring smile: "Go ahead, as long as you take a good look at Zuo Weiwei, you will do a great job in this battle!"

"Yes!"

Sima Yi walked out from the main camp, immediately got on his horse, and rode back to Zuo Weiwei's barracks.

"Military Master, can this Sima Yi hold Zuo Weiwei steady?" Cao Ang asked in a low voice, looking at Sima Yi's leaving back.

"Zuo Weiwei is basically Guan Zhongerlang, and only he can hold back!"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said: "His Royal Highness, you don't need to worry about Zuo Weiwei. He has to be controlled. It's a crime. If you can't suppress it, it's a crime. You just need to control him!"

"Father once said that this Sima Zhongda is too ambitious, and it's a bit difficult for him to use!" Cao Ang thought for a while, and was a little puzzled: "But I have been in contact with this person for a long time, and I haven't found this person's unruly and unruly nature." Not tame, but I feel that he is a little obedient, and he is also respectful to me, Dawei!"

"His Royal Highness, this is the gap between you and His Majesty. What you can see is only the surface, but what Your Majesty can see is the heart!" Zhang Liao said blankly: "In this regard, you have to learn from Your Majesty. !"

"The general's reminder, I understand!"

Cao Ang nodded sincerely. He has a good point, he can listen to harsh advice.

……

After Sima Yi returned to the barracks, he immediately asked Yang Xiu, his confidant, to discuss with him: "This is His Majesty's imperial decree. Promote me to General Zuo Weiwei, and you will be the military advisor to control Zuo Weiwei!"

"Your Majesty's decree came so quickly!"

Yang Xiu looked at it, and his face became slightly moved: "Now that there is no news of Wei Duan's death, isn't he afraid that some families in Guanzhong will be chilled?"

"This is just a secret decree. He used it to calm our hearts. Although we handled Wei Duan's release, it was also his intention. He was worried that we would be afraid of killing the donkey, so he made an exception to give a secret decree. , which means that we can safely clean up Wei Duan's family!"

Sima Yi burned the imperial decree with the flame of a candlestick, and then said with a sneer: "And I'm sure that this matter has spread in Guanzhong, but the rumors will turn out that the two of us pushed Wei Duan to die in order to seize power. Will become the enemy of some families in Guanzhong!"

"It turns out that he is trying to divide the unity of our Guanzhong family!" Yang Xiu realized: "Let our Guanzhong family mess up!"

"That's right, but we don't have any choice. Even if it's such a result, we have to bear it!"

Sima Yi nodded: "At this time, if we can't take the initiative to seize the military power of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Zuo Weiwei, our Guanzhong family will be completely deprived of military power. Without military power, we will have no power to speak. This military power must be taken!"

"Your Majesty's strategy is to kill two birds with one stone. The method is absolutely perfect!" Yang Xiu said with some appreciation: "Let us be willing to become his sword!"

"Your Majesty's methods are indeed powerful!"

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help sighing: "At the beginning we thought we would be safe by holding on to Guanzhong. We thought too well, and now all our wishful thinking has come to nothing. Maybe we were wrong at the beginning. If that year when the emperor passed away, if I had held back my breath and continued to hide my strength and bide my time, and not show my edge, maybe things would have been different!"

After Han Xiandi died, he saw that this would be a chaotic situation.So I gave up hiding my strengths and bide my time, and came out of the mountain as a young man, showing my sharpness.

However, there are too many capable people in this world, and Cao Wei is also capable ministers and generals. If he does too much, he will be guarded against, and if he does too little, he will not be able to get ahead, which inevitably leads to a dilemma now.

But he is also a tough guy.He was not discouraged: "Dezu, no matter what, now we can only guarantee that the Guanzhong family will surround us as the core now that we have soldiers and horses in our hands!"

"I see!"

Yang Xiu nodded, and said: "I will personally convince my father. Now our Yang family and Sima Yi are both prosperous and prosperous. We are harmed by each other. Several families in Guanzhong, the Hedong Wei family is already facing your majesty, and the Sima and Hongnong Yang families in Hanoi only need to Unite and the majority will be on our side!"

"Thank you!"

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Hongnong Yang's family would have problems, and only with Yang Xiu's guarantee could the two continue to cooperate.He then asked: "By the way, among the Zuo Weiwei, how is Wei Duan's generals cleaning up?"

"According to your order, all the generals of the Wei family were basically cleaned up, and several soldiers who insisted on being loyal to Wei Duan also died. Now the morale of the army is not stable, it will take time to transition!"

Yang Xiudao: "After all, Wei Duan has a lot of prestige among this army. We can't wipe out his influence at any time. We have to take it step by step. But as soon as the news of his death comes, we want to It will be much smoother to control this army, and there is no news of his death, so it means that Ma Chao hasn't done anything yet, will there be any accidents?"

"probably not!"

Sima Yi stared at Fengxuetian outside the camp, and said in a deep voice, "To kill his father, Ma Chao will do it no matter whether he surrenders or not. It's time to do it!"
