Han Shimou

Chapter 1230 Cao Cao's Choice

() When Cao Cao heard the words, his eyes suddenly shot out two lights, looking at Sima Yi.Sima Yi had no fear, with a determined face, facing each other calmly.Guo Jia's expression changed, and he shouted sharply.

"Although Zhuge Kongming's intelligence is high, there are many talents in the Western Tang Dynasty. Xi Zhicai and Xu Yuanzhi all have the wisdom of the world. Huang Hansheng, Zhang Wenyuan, and Xu Gongming are not ordinary people!! This is a big matter, and it should be discussed in a long-term way."

After hearing this, Cao Cao turned his eyes to Jia Xu.With a calm face, Jia Xu came out slowly and said with cupped hands.

"The key here is not the Western Tang Dynasty, nor the Shu Han, but Ma Mengqi. If Ma Mengqi is defeated by Wen Bufan, Wen Bufan can call in reinforcements to rescue him. Although Zhuge Kongming's strategy is high, how can the Shu Han have the strength of the army now? Not much. Immediately, Zhuge Kongming will save his troops and withdraw from Xichuan in order to protect his country and prevent our Great Wei from taking advantage of the situation."

"Oh? According to what Wenhe said, if Ma Mengqi is defeated, Zhuge Kongming will also be defeated!?"

"Wars and wars are always unpredictable. Although Zhuge Kongming has a peerless talent, the Western Tang Dynasty occupies the general trend after all. Although Xu is not [-]% sure, he is not far from it." . .

Jia Xu calmly spoke slowly.Cao Cao's expression froze for a moment, his fine eyes flickered, and he asked again.

"Then what should I do now?"

"The so-called opportunity must not be lost, and it will never come back. Your Majesty can first recruit soldiers and horses, just in case, but then teach people to go to the front line to inquire about the Xiliang battle report. If Ma Mengqi can still resist Wen Bufan's army for a few months. Send out the army, and then slowly transfer from Jingzhou to the army."

Jia Xu's eyes were deep, and her words hit Cao Cao's thoughts.Cao Cao nodded slightly, then followed Jia Xu's words, while preparing the army for war, he taught the emissary to go to Xiliang to investigate.Wei Guo's secret works spread all over the world, and there are places of contact in all places to exchange news, so the news is transmitted very quickly.

Ten days later, I made a detailed report, saying that Ma Mengqi had been killed by Zhao Yun, the dragon general of the Western Tang Dynasty.Now Wang Wenbufan of the Western Tang Dynasty is resting his troops in Liangzhou and preparing to return to Yongzhou.At the same time, the detailed work reported that Shu soldiers attacked Chen Cang violently, and Chen Cang was in danger.As a result, the officials immediately quarreled endlessly.Everyone held their own opinions, and some people advised Cao Cao to leave the army as soon as possible, seeing that Chen Cang was difficult to protect.Some people saw that the Western Tang Army was about to return to help, and advised Cao Cao to stand still.

Cao Cao sat on the top of the hall, narrowed his eyes, and watched the quarrel of the officials coldly.Suddenly, Cao Cao snorted coldly, and all the ministers tightened their faces and stopped the quarrel as if there was any might in the sky.Cao Cao always regarded Guo Jia the most, and he always asked his opinion first, and this time was no exception, he told Guo Jia.

"Although Ma Mengqi was killed, Chen Cang will also be captured by Shu soldiers. Between Feng Xiao and Xiao, what should I do!?"

"At present, Your Majesty is in the Yangtze River, with hundreds of thousands of troops stationed. Cao Cao has been training troops for a long time. The ships and armaments are all gathered together. The so-called preparedness is safe. Your Majesty is well prepared for the great cause of defeating Wu, so you should move quickly. On the contrary, if you march to the Western Tang Dynasty , It’s a hasty move, and there are so many variables. How can your majesty look far away, it’s better to go to Jingzhou as soon as possible, and use all forces to attack Wu Daye!!”

Guo Jia's eyes were as bright as the stars, shining brilliantly.When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and said nothing, then looked at Jia Xu again and asked.

"Then according to Wenhe's opinion, what should we do?"

"Zhenhou's words are very true. Your Majesty's military attack on Eastern Wu is indeed the trend of the times, and there is nothing wrong with it!"

Jia Xu spoke intently, Cao Cao didn't feel happy or angry when he heard it, he pondered for a while, but looked at Sima Yi.Sima Yi's expression shook, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Cao Cao's gaze.Cao Cao knew that he was acting, so he narrowed his eyes and suddenly called out.

"Where is Sima Zhongda!?"

Cao Cao's voice was like thunder, as if there was brilliant divine power, Sima Yi was startled, and suddenly appeared, staggered suddenly, knocked his jaw on the ground, and blood flowed out immediately, but Sima Yi ignored the pain, and quickly kowtowed in response.

"Sima Zhongda is here!"

Seeing that Sima Yi lost his composure, all the bureaucrats laughed secretly.Seeing Sima Yi in such a mess, Cao Cao frowned, but thought in his heart.

"Hmph. Sneaky villain."

Cao Cao showed displeasure on his face, so he asked Sima Yi.

"You used to persuade our soldiers to attack the Western Tang Dynasty, why don't you speak out to persuade me now?"

When Sima Yi heard the words, he prostrated himself on the ground first, and said respectfully.

"The two Ming lords are both good words of gold and stone. How dare a certain person have little talent and learning?"

Cao Cao moved his hand, but became interested, staring at Sima Yi and said.

"It doesn't matter if you say it. Whether it's good or bad, I have my own discretion."

"Hey!"

Sima Yi responded, then his expression froze, and he said in a deep voice.

"According to what I saw. Zhuge Kongming has always been acquainted with talents and appointed them. How can he fail to see that Ma Mengqi is not Wen Bufan's opponent. The reason why he was sent to Xiliang was to restrain Wen Bufan's army and give him the opportunity You can take advantage. Earlier, Zhuge Kongming had already attacked Nanzheng, but he attacked Chencang again. This is not the intention. If someone's prediction is correct, it is really a good cover. He secretly dispatched a surprise army, turned away from Xiegu, and left Qishan , attack Chang'an! In this way, when all the people in Yongzhou thought that the Shu soldiers would send troops from Chencang, they would definitely send a large number of reinforcements. Chang'an's troops were empty, and Zhuge Kongming was desperate. If Chang'an is lost and the Western Tang Dynasty is in chaos, Zhang Fei will lead his troops to attack Chencang again.

The Western Tang Dynasty looked at one thing and lost another, and the situation was like a landslide.Therefore, according to someone's opinion, His Majesty can dispatch troops and horses, and first go to Hanoi and Hedong to secretly deploy troops and horses. Once Chang'an is really defended, he will immediately attack with the force of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.The power and prosperity of the Western Tang Dynasty is actually a serious problem for my confidantes in the Great Wei Dynasty.If our Great Wei can annihilate the Western Tang Dynasty, even if Shu and Wu join forces, it will be difficult to resist the surging momentum of our Great Wei.In a few years, the world will be unified! ! "

Sima Yi's eyes glowed, as if he had changed into a different person. This analysis can be described as exquisite and amazing.Even Jia Xu and Guo Jia, two outstanding people in the world, couldn't help showing a look of horror.Cao Cao's fine eyes, which seemed to be able to swallow the sky, shot out two rays of light in an instant, and quickly cast glances at Guo Jia and Jia Xu respectively.Guo Jia was silent.Jia Xu nodded secretly.At this moment, Guo Jia's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked Sima Yi.

"How did Zhongda know that Zhuge Kongming will definitely send a surprise army from Qishan!?"

"Western Tang and Shu Han fought fiercely for several years. The Western Tang was powerful, with strong troops and enough food. The Shu Han has survived to this day, thanks to God's blessing. Now the Shu Han has few troops, and Ma Mengqi died, losing the strong support from the Southern Barbarians. If As soon as Wen Bufan's reinforcements arrive, he is bound to counterattack powerfully with overwhelming momentum. The situation forced Zhuge Kongming to take a risky approach and fight against the situation.

What's more, Zhuge Kongming predicted that if Chang'an fell and the Western Tang Dynasty was in chaos, His Majesty would never miss this great opportunity and would definitely send troops in.Immediately, Zhuge Kongming can come to a desperate counterattack and take advantage of the chaos to take Xiliang, Dongchuan, and Yongzhou. If everything goes as expected, Shu will not only be spared from the disaster of destroying the country, but will be able to breathe and increase its national strength.Although this move was dangerous, it benefited a lot. How could Zhuge Kongming not fight to the death? "

Sima Yi talked eloquently, as if emitting a light of wisdom and wisdom, all the civil and military officials in the palace were all stunned and shocked.Guo Jia also changed his complexion, and suddenly sighed.

"Zhongda's intelligence is as high as the brilliance of a bright moon. Jiashi is not as good as it."

When Sima Yi heard this, he panicked, and hurriedly saluted.

"Zhenhou is a genius in this world, and his wisdom is unparalleled in the world. How dare he be compared with Zhenhou. It is really a shame."

Sima Yi's face was full of panic, and he didn't seem to have the demeanor of strategizing just now.His Highness, all civil and military officials saw it, and laughed secretly again, forgetting Sima Yi's prestige just now.However, this was not the case for Cao Cao. He had a tight pair of narrowed eyes like a thin line, fierce and majestic, and stared closely at Sima Yi.The more indifferent Sima Yi was, the more wary Cao Cao was of him.But from the looks of it, Sima Yi was not at fault, and was also loyal.Cao Cao slowly retracted his gaze, and suddenly covered his palms and smiled.

"Haha. Zhongda should not underestimate himself. Xiaozhi never lies. I have benefited a lot from your good words, so I will follow what you say!"

Cao Cao suddenly made a decision, but none of His Royal Highness and officials could react for a while.Therefore, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Jai to secretly mobilize troops at the boundary between Hanoi and Hedong, and at the same time instructed people to go to Yongzhou to inquire.

Since Cao Cao ascended the throne of God, reformed and established a new era, and expropriated people from poor families on a large scale, various places have vigorously implemented the policy of garrisoning land, and allocating land according to population.There is a new atmosphere in the Central Plains, and it is flourishing.However, the people in the Central Plains seemed to have long regarded Cao Cao as an emperor. Since Cao Cao ascended the throne, the people not only did not complain, but cheered.After all, for the people of the Central Plains, in the past few decades, the Han dynasty has been incompetent, bringing endless disasters and wars.But what Cao Cao brought was a country that allowed people all over the world to live and work in peace and contentment without suffering from famine or war.Cao Cao has won the popularity of the people, and now he ascends the throne and replaces the Han Dynasty, it is a matter of course.

Let's say that Queen Bian had four sons, namely Pi, Zhang, Zhi and Xiong.Cao Cao has always been partial to Cao Zhi, the third son.Cao Zhi

He is extremely intelligent, has sword eyebrows and star eyes, and is good at writing and prose.Cao Cao intends to let Cao Zhi take over the throne in the future.But Cao Pi was decisive, quick in learning, acted like Cao Cao in those days, and was the eldest son of Queen Bian.Cao Cao also loves him very much.Therefore, Cao Cao was very distressed about the inheritance.One day, Cao Cao wanted to test the talents of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, so as not to be noticed by the two sons and confront each other, but he taught Cao Zhang and Cao Xiong to come together.When the four sons arrived together, Cao Cao ordered the four to go out of the city gate, but he secretly ordered someone to distribute them to the gatekeepers, ordering them not to let them out.

The four sons led the order to go together, and said that Cao Pi went to the North Gate first, but the gatekeepers blocked him. Cao Pi secretly thought that this decision was made by his father and king earlier, and it was intentional.Cao Pi thought to himself, Cao Cao always hated those who rebelled and did not obey the law, so he resigned and returned.Then Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong came to the east gate and west gate respectively, and the gate officials also stopped them.Cao Xiongsu didn't know how to act flexibly, so he had to retreat as a last resort.The same is true of Cao Zhi.Only Cao Zhang rushed to the south gate, but the gatekeepers stopped him.Cao Zhang stared at the tiger, as if he had the power of a tiger, he shouted sharply.

"I am under the king's order, who dares to stop me!! Kill him immediately!!"

When the gatekeepers heard this, although they were frightened, they did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's previous orders and asked the soldiers to intercept them.Cao Zhang rushed forward suddenly, grabbed two long spears with both hands, swept left and right, and there was a conflict, which made people turn their backs.Cao Zhang rushed in, stared fiercely, and roared in desperation.

"I obey the emperor's order, so I have to open the door quickly!!"

The soldiers on the left and right heard it, and they opened the city gate quickly.Cao Zhang rode out on his horse.But he said that Cao Cao was waiting in the hall for the reports from the officials of various sects, and he heard that Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong's three sons had all returned.Only Cao Zhang made a big fuss and broke through the door.Cao Cao was surprised when he heard this, and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha!! I forgot about the yellow beard!!"

So Cao Cao also wanted to stand up for Cao Zhang. So far, Cao Cao called Cao Zhang to come every day to inquire about military and state affairs in person.Cao Zhang answered one by one. If there is anything wrong, Cao Cao will teach it carefully.However, Cao Zhang sometimes refused to give in on certain matters and argued with Cao Cao.The father and son would quarrel and quarrel from time to time, and not long after that, they heard Cao Cao laughing loudly again.Cao Pi and Cao Zhi heard that Cao Zhang was often called into the palace by Cao Cao in recent days, and they were sent in secretly to inquire. Hearing that Cao Cao taught him every day, they were very anxious.

One day, Cao Zhang had just left the palace when he met Cao Pi.Cao Pi pulled Cao Zhang to one side and asked him deeply.

"Brother Zhang, do you have the heart to compete with brother for the throne?"

When Cao Zhang heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he shook his head and said.

"Brother Wang, why did you say that!? How could Brother Wang not know what kind of mind you have?"

Cao Pi saw that Cao Zhang had no false appearance, so he felt at ease, and invited Cao Zhang to a banquet in his mansion.The next day, Cao Zhang met his younger brother Cao Zhi again.Cao Zhi also came to test.Cao Zhang was quick-witted, and he could see Cao Zhi's intention at a glance, and told him that he had no intention of fighting for the throne.Cao Zhi was overjoyed. After that, he often invited Cao Zhang to talk about it all night long.Cao Pi also had the heart to curry favor with Cao Zhang, and often entertained Cao Zhang for dinner.Cao Zhang was extremely displeased with entrusting the virtual snake to this matter, but he was not good at rejecting the two of them openly, and he was depressed all day long.

One day, Cao Cao saw that Cao Zhang was frowning deeply and was very depressed, so he asked him.Cao Zhang then told about Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.When Cao Cao heard the words, his complexion suddenly changed, his eyes shone brightly, and he said to Cao Zhang.

"You are my heir, if one day, the great responsibility of the country is entrusted to you, it is not impossible!"

When Cao Zhang heard the words, his expression changed drastically, and he knelt down with Cao Cao anxiously and said.

"Father must not! If so, the country will be in great trouble!!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his complexion darkened immediately, his face full of displeasure, and he asked in a cold voice.

"How did Ziwen say that!?"

"Did the father forget that in the past, the Yuan family in Hebei Province was fighting with their heirs, causing the family to be exterminated!? Brother Cao Pi is loyal and respectful, and can continue the great cause.
