The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 445 Sima Yi

Although Huo Yu was far away in Hanzhong County, he did not issue any general orders to Youzhou.For the current situation, perhaps Xi Zhicai and others are more aware than him, so the extra general order will disrupt the overall layout of his military division team, so it is better to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

But for Lu Bu, Huo Yu still had lingering fears, after all, the bloody facts were there.Therefore, after a short stay in Hanzhong to rest, Huo Yu decided to go to Wancheng in person to explore Lu Bu's hole cards.

"Shi A! Can the messengers from the Western Regions be sent?"

In the face of the alliance of the three families, Huo Yu personally wrote a letter and asked An Yuwei to send it to the Western Regions as quickly as possible in order not to go on a business trip.Among other things, if the war changes, the army returning from the Western Regions will be his last hole card.

"The messenger from the Western Regions has set off, please rest assured, my lord!"

For the situation in front of him, Shi A knew best in his heart, so when Huo Yu ordered him to send people to the Western Regions to deliver a letter, he personally selected a group of people to go there.

Huo Yu nodded, not saying a word.

Three days ago, Huo Yu had already issued a mobilization order, and Hanzhong County had already started preparing for the battle.Not only that, Zhang Yan's Black Wolf Army also began to actively prepare in Brazil County.

Even Ma Dai was sent back to Xiliang by Huo Yu, asking Ma Teng and Zhang Ji to start gathering soldiers and horses for emergencies.

Teng Teng Teng, a rush of footsteps came.

"See my lord!"

"Yide, this Marquis will leave for Wancheng to meet Lu Bu today, and then return to Youzhou."

"My lord, I only bring two thousand flying feathers to ride fear." Before Zhang Fei could finish speaking, Huo Yu raised his hand to stop him.

"Xiaozhi will stay by your side, listen more and think more when things happen, and don't act recklessly!"

"I remember it!"

After repeatedly instructing Zhang Fei, Huo Yu gave Zhang Fei and Fazheng the right to do things conveniently, and then led Dianwei, Ma Chao, Zhu Rong and two thousand Feiyu riders to brave the wind and snow towards Shangyong.

When Huo Yu was leaving for Wancheng, Cao Cao who was far away in Yanzhou was watching the development of the current situation.

Below Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu stood separately.You Cheng Yu was talking about the situation after the Youzhou Army dispatched troops, but stopped when he talked about Lu Bu.

"It's really a pity that we failed to convince Lu Bu to join the alliance!" Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao regretted for a while.If Lu Bu joined the alliance, how could the previous battle situation be like this.

Whether it is Jiangdong or Jingzhou, no matter which direction succeeds, it will not lead to the current situation.I thought that I would be able to compete with Huo Yu if I tried my best to fight hard.

Who knew that the combat power of the Youzhou Army was so powerful.Moreover, the high level of coordination and cooperation between the various ministries made Cao Cao amazed.

Seeing that Qingzhou was about to be acquired, Huang Zhong led his ministers to drive straight to Chen Liu.Even if Cao Ren stayed behind, he couldn't block Huang Zhong's sharpness. This move to surround Wei and save Zhao made Cao Cao very uncomfortable.

"My lord, if it wasn't for Sima Zhongda this time, it would be very difficult for Chen Liu to keep him!"

"Oh? Who is this?"

Hearing Cheng Yu's recommendation, Cao Cao was puzzled.

"Sima Yi's courtesy name is Zhongda. His great-grandfather Sima Jun was the general who conquered the West during Emperor Han'an, his great-grandfather Sima Liang was the prefect of Yuzhang, his grandfather Sima Jun was the prefect of Yingchuan, and his father Sima Fang was Zeng Jingzhao Yin. There is a word "Da" in it, known as Sima Bada."

Hearing what Cheng Yu said, Cao Cao suddenly remembered something.

"I've heard people say that he has few extraordinary features, is clever and broad-minded, erudite and acquainted with Confucianism, and often worries about the world." Xun Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly added.

Hearing the words of his two advisers, Cao Cao immediately became interested in talents.In the past, I could only envy Huo Yu, but I didn't expect him, Cao Cao, to be happy today.

"In all honesty, it's pretty good for Zhongda to be able to do this! After all, the troops were limited at that time!" Cheng Yu really spoke highly of Sima Yi.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that, how could he be an unknown person to be recommended by two of his subordinates.

"By the way, where is Huang Zhong's army now?" Cao Cao asked after thinking about it.

"At this time, we have returned to Yuzhou, stationed troops and Chen Guo. However, according to Sima Zhongda's analysis, Huang Zhong's style of this battle has the shadow of Guo Jia!"

"So, what should you two do?"

Since Cao Cao had taken the lead in tearing his face apart, he knew in his heart that Huo Yu would definitely send troops to retaliate, but it was winter now, and the battle between the two sides would be after the spring plowing.

"Defend and wait for the right time!" Xun Yu and Cheng Yu said in unison.

In fact, this is also caused by the gap in strength.Judging from the current situation, Jiangdong Sun Quan is the most powerful, followed by Cao Cao, and finally Liu Biao.

According to the analysis of the two, even if Huo Yu intends to take revenge, he will pick the soft persimmons first.Liu Biao is naturally the best candidate.

Three fronts?It's not that they haven't thought about it, but it's unlikely.After all, Huo Yu hadn't made enough preparations yet.As for Lu Bu, his strength has long been weakened to the extreme in Liu Biao's several battles.Even with Huo Yu's support, there would be no big waves.

"According to the actual situation, it is indeed the case!" Cao Cao stroked his beard.

Now, all the states and counties around Yanzhou have been captured by the Youzhou army, and there is only one force left in the north.Even if Huo Yu wants to fight decisively, it will definitely be after weakening the power of the alliance.

So how long Liu Biao can persist will determine how much time Cao Cao has to develop his own strength.

"Send troops first to take Yuzhou?" Cao Cao shook his head.

Since there is Guo Jia in Yuzhou, and Huang Zhong is added, it will be difficult to deal with it for a while.After much deliberation, Cao Cao felt that he should seize the time to continue his strength and wait for the final decisive battle with Huo Yu.

In fact, in the past three years, taking advantage of Huo Yu's filial piety, Cao Cao did not make little preparations. He thought he could win Qingzhou with one blow, but it turned out to be counterproductive.

Although the strength is not as good as that of Huo Yu, but it is not without strong generals under his command, he still has the most basic ability!It's just that the gap in the source of troops will not be able to make up for a while.

"Report! The main company, Ma Yi, asks to see you!" Just as Cao Cao was thinking hard, his personal guard came to report.

When Sima Yi appeared in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao subconsciously said: "Wolf Gu Zhixiang!"

"Uh"

Now it's not just Sima Yi, even Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are a little dazed.

"Thank you, Duke Ming, for your praise!" Sima Yi was fearless on the contrary.

"Minggong, forgive the grassroots for being rude. The attack on Youzhou earlier was really unwise." Sima Yi's words were not surprising and endless.

"Look, the champion Hou is a man, and the people don't think that the champion Hou will not leave behind! Qingzhou's defeat was due to Minggong's lack of preparation, and he has not fully recognized the gap with Youzhou!"

"Even now, please calm down and step up the development of strength!"

When Sima Yi met Cao Cao for the first time, he unceremoniously pointed out Cao Cao's problem.

Cao Cao at this time has been awakened by Sima Yi's words.Although it has been devoted to development for three years, Youzhou's advantages still exist.

"What advice does Zhongda have?" Cao Cao, who came to his senses, asked.

"Ming Gong, please take a look!" Sima Yi walked towards the map without saying a word, and then pointed to the one on the map with his finger.

"Guandu?" Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu said in unison.
