The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 382: Use the other person's way to repay the other person's kindness

At this time, everyone recalled Sun Quan's various experiences.

Fang realized that he indeed lacked actual combat experience and was overly dependent on external officials.

Not to mention comparing himself with his own lord Cao Cao.

That is compared with the fourth son Cao Zhang, the man with yellow beard who is always known for his rough appearance.

Sun Quan's military strategy is far from enough.

After all, Cao Zhang could at least lead by example every time.

Standing in the midst of millions of troops, he dared to do what others dared not to do and launched a surprise attack on the enemy commander.

Although it doesn’t mean that I succeed every time.

But they often have many victories and achievements on the battlefield.

In short, everyone present agreed with Sima De's point of view.

Even Cao Pi regarded him as a serious threat in his heart.

At this point, we have to admit that Sima De's analysis was insightful.

With his sharp eyes, he exposed Sun Quan's shortcomings to everyone.

And since he has already seen through the strength of the enemy's commander.

With his strategy, how could he not grasp the opponent's weak spot?
Thinking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help but sigh.

Sima De is truly a great talent in the world!
It was Sun Quan's misfortune to have such a talent in the enemy camp.

But for Cao Pi.

Sima De was wholeheartedly helping his rude fourth brother Cao Zhang!

That is a huge threat to him as a competitor for the throne!

At this time, even Sima De's brother Sima Yi.

He was also quietly examining his sixth brother.

His eyes kept looking at Cao Cao who looked deep in thought.

He wavered between himself and the talkative Sima De.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Suddenly I recalled my hometown in Hanoi many years ago.

When his brothers were farming and studying at home.

As an elder brother, I once taught my brothers:
A wise man is good at hiding his edge, and a man of great skill appears clumsy.

But when my sixth brother heard it, he expressed great disdain.

For this, he was even scolded by his elder brother Sima Lang.

But at this moment, Sima Yi realized it.

The mistakes my brother and I made at that time were so obvious!
The wisdom and way of dealing with the world demonstrated by my sixth brother Sima Renda.

It is a style completely different from theirs!
What he has displayed since he was young is an unconcealed, dazzling edge!

Moreover, his skill in putting those who achieve first first and seeing into people’s hearts is still astonishing.

Such a character is completely different from his deep and introverted second brother.

It was also destined that the two brothers would become each other's lifelong enemies!
Not only Sima Yi, but also Xun You, the chief military strategist of Cao's army before him.

At this time, he also looked at Sima De with admiration.

No wonder this genius was able to convince his uncle to change his mind.

Think of the current situation of the Xun family.

Xun You also made a decision quietly in his heart.

Xun You stood up and said sincerely:

"Ren Da's words are truly brilliant!"

"When we were still limited to the terrain and rivers, exploring ways to march."

"Renda has transcended the battle situation and directly targeted the essence of human hearts. This is a strategy to attack the heart."

"Xun You is deeply impressed!"

Xun You's words were undoubtedly a high recognition of Sima De's strategy.

Zhang Liao was also unwilling to be left behind, and immediately laughed heartily:

"Haha, please don't blame me, Military Advisor Sima!"

"What Liao said before was in vain."

"After listening to the young master's high-sounding remarks, Liao suddenly felt that Sun Quan."

"It seems that it is nothing special and can be easily obtained!"

The generals' laughter was somewhat teasing.

Sima De looked at Zhang Liao with some surprise.

If he hadn't seen the teasing smile on his face, he would have really thought that Zhang Liao could foresee the future!
At this time, a burst of loud applause rang out.

Then three "OK, OK, OK" came from a high position.

When everyone looked over, they saw Cao Cao's face was full of smiles and his eyes were full of admiration.

Sima De's analysis of Sun Quan pleased him deeply.

Cao Cao applauded and said:

"What a great saying! Xiang Yu could not defeat Han, and the kingdom cannot be half-hearted!"

"Renda's words really touch my heart!"

"Thinking of Sun Quan, although he became famous at a young age, he is just an embroidered pillow."

"You are so weak inside, and you are not even half as good as the other sons of the Cao family!"

"However, how to make the enemy proud and complacent, how to show weakness to lure the enemy!"

"How can we use the art of psychological warfare to disintegrate the more than 100,000 Jiangdong troops?"

"Please teach me, Renda, and explain everything in detail!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, everyone's eyes focused on Sima De.

Looking forward to his ingenious strategy which has yet to unfold.

Under the focus of everyone's attention, Sima De slowly extended a finger.

The tone was calm but sharp:

"If we want to discuss the art of attacking the enemy's mind, we should first discuss the enemy's actions!"

"Sun Tzu said: 'The art of war is the art of deception.'"

“So it is true but seems false, moving but seems still, near but seems far, far but seems near.”

"Lure them with bait, humble them and make them arrogant, let them relax and tire them out, and make them separate when they are close."

"As for how to make Sun Quan proud, it is believed that..."

He changed the subject, his eyes flickering.

"We should borrow Sun Tzu's cunning saying 'humble and arrogant'."

"Use flattery to make them arrogant, find an opportunity to strike, and you will win in one battle."

As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to freeze.

This strategy has been tried and tested throughout the long history of China.

In the late Spring and Autumn Period, King Gou Jian of Yue suffered humiliation for three years.

Finally, the powerful Wu was destroyed and the humiliation was avenged.

It was precisely because of his clever use of the strategy of "humbleness yet making them arrogant" that he induced King Helu of Wu to become arrogant and conceited.

Sima De's deep gaze at this moment traveled through time and space and returned to the present.

Throughout history, there are people who have carried this strategy to the extreme.

The best example is that in history, Lu Meng cleverly captured Jingzhou.

After the Battle of Xiangyang, Guan Yu was feared throughout China, but he was eager to fight a northern expedition and did not reduce the defenses in Jiangdong.

However, due to the strategy of Lu Meng and Lu Xun, they underestimated the enemy and marched north, which ultimately led to defeat.

However, Lu Meng falsely wrote a letter claiming illness and recommended Lu Xun to take the position.

He pretended to be submissive to Guan Yu, and his letters were full of flattery and self-deprecation, deliberately revealing his flaws.

This caused Guan Yu to misjudge and thus divide his troops to march north.

The two generals, Lu and Lu, took advantage of the situation and crossed the river in white clothes, and took Jingzhou easily when Guan Yu was not prepared!

Now, all we have to do is follow this trick.

Just make some slight changes and perform it again, except the object is changed to Sun Shiwan!
While in the closed cabin, Sima De's words of "humble but arrogant" and "flattering to death" came out.

The generals' eyes suddenly brightened, and the counselors present had already understood something.

I am just curious, how to apply this method to Sun Quan?

After all, Sun Quan was no ordinary man, how could he be easily deceived?

Cao Cao seemed to understand everyone's thoughts and laughed loudly:
"Wonderful! What a great phrase 'humble yet proud'."

"But why is it humble? Why praise to death?"

"Should I follow the example of Gou Jian and condescend to serve Sun Quan?"

"This is something I cannot do!"

Cao Cao laughed at himself at this time, Sima De shook his head lightly and said gently:
"Don't worry, father-in-law. You may not be the humble one. Others can do the job!"

After he finished speaking, Sima De's eyes moved and quietly fixed on several fierce generals of Cao's army.

Cao Hong, Li Dian and others noticed Sima De's gaze.

My heart couldn't help but tighten at this moment!
It's definitely not a good thing to be targeted by Sima De!
