The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 425 Zhongda's Poison Plan
Cao Cao watched Wei Tao silently, no one could see what Cao Cao was thinking at this moment.

But the same is true for Wei Tao, who also answered silently after shouting loudly.

Everyone knows that as long as these two people open their mouths, a big battle may be inevitable.

It is impossible for Wei Tao to retreat, so it is only Cao Cao who retreats, if not, it will be a fight.

For a moment, all eyes were on Cao Cao.

I saw Cao Cao staring at it for a while, then suddenly smiled, and then he reined in his horse and turned around, giving orders directly.

"The old man's order is that the front army has changed to the rear army, beware of attacks, we will withdraw!"

When Cao Cao gave an order, no one dared to disobey. Although there were a few people who spoke to Cao Cao, but without Cao Cao's nod, no one dared to act at will, and all retreated with Cao Cao.

Once Cao Cao retreated from the others, he naturally had nothing to say. At this time, Wei Tao was thinking of defending first, and then proceeding after exhausting Cao Jun's food and grass, so naturally he would not pursue.

It was supposed to be a one-day battle, but it just ended, making everyone feel a little strange.

Up to now, the food and grass in Cao's army is not enough, so after retreating this day, after Cao Cao ordered his generals to reorganize their armaments, he immediately summoned all the generals, and asked with a pair of eyes.

"Now that our army is in such a predicament, the old man does not hide it. The attack on the guard camp the day before has already shown that under the same conditions, it is almost impossible to take down the Wei Tao camp with our military strength. But this morning In the first battle, if you want to use the method of fighting generals, even if you use the courage of the first, you will not be able to defeat Wei Tao. After two battles, the morale of the army is not damaged at all, but it is not as high as the morale of the guards, so continue If the battle continues, our army will lose even more, if you have any plans, please speak up."

Hearing what Cao Cao said, all the counselors and generals looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't respond for a while.

Just as all the strategists under Wei Tao's command were unable to win by strategy, the same is true under Cao Cao's command, each one of them didn't know what to say.

Even the most arrogant and conceited Yang Xiu didn't dare to speak at this time.

It was a trick before, which frustrated the extremely conceited Yang Xiuwei, and he didn't dare to speak casually anymore.

"My lord, I may have a plan, but please turn around and talk about it."

At this moment, Sima Yi suddenly spoke, but when he heard that Sima Yi wanted to push back everyone, many people's faces changed immediately.

Those who can be present here can be said to be Cao Cao's confidantes. Now Sima Yi's words clearly mean that he does not trust them. How can this not make them feel annoyed?
All eyes were on Sima Yi all of a sudden, but in the face of this, Sima Yi remained calm and turned a blind eye. No one knew what was going on in his heart.

"That's all, Zhongda stays here, and you are each leading the army, and don't let the army be because there is something inappropriate about what happened at this time."

Finally, Cao Cao spoke up. Naturally, no one would dare not listen to Cao Cao's words.

At present, except for Xu Chu who is guarding outside the tent, everyone is ten meters away from here, no matter how loud the words in the tent are, it is not unheard of.

At this time, Cao Cao turned his attention to Sima Yi.

"What is Zhong Da's plan?"

While speaking, Cao Cao stared intently at him, and pressed his sword with his right hand. Although he was still kneeling, a sense of pressure was born out of thin air.

Cao Cao is not a soft-hearted person, and he has killed many enemies in the army for many years. Under this pressure, even Sima Yi's heart can't help but feel a chill.

If the words are inappropriate, it is very likely that Cao Cao will be beheaded on the spot!
For no reason, Sima Yi had such a feeling in his mind out of thin air.

But at this time, Sima Yi also knew that he had no way out. If he couldn't say anything, even if Cao Cao spared him, the generals under Cao Cao's command would not let him go after being swept away by him.

"My lord, the guard army can still have 20 troops, such a huge army, if you want to destroy it in one fell swoop, you have to go through fire and water."

Sima Yi said immediately, but Cao Cao felt a little puzzled when he heard this.

"Water and fire are ruthless, but you can't use water to attack here. Even if you use water to attack, the time to store water is not enough. What Zhong Da thought is to use fire? However, Wei Tao is good at using fire to attack, and the best defense is to use fire." Fire attack, how can it be defenseless?"

"My lord's words are very true, but my method is different."

At this time, Sima Yi didn't try to show off any more, and just spoke directly.

"Usually using fire, the most lacking thing is the fire igniter. In the past, the fire bull array used by Tian Dan to break the Qi army was to use cattle and horses as the fire igniter. If he cooperated with the army, he would defeat the Qi army in one fell swoop. Now my strategy is the same, just imitating Tian Dan's fire bull array."

When Sima Yi opened his mouth, Cao Cao was even more puzzled.

"The Fire Bull Formation has long been lost. Wei Tao once wanted to use it when he was fighting the Yellow Turbans, but in fact, the so-called Fire Bull Formation was just for the Yellow Turban Army to lead the bulls into the formation. Sure enough, there is a way to make the cow not afraid of the fire, and to rush to the battle to die? If there is such a way, why not use it earlier?"

Cao Cao has a suspicious personality. At this time, he looked at Sima Yi with deep hesitation. If he was not convinced that Sima Yi was a scholar, even though he was old, Sima Yi would definitely not be his opponent. I am afraid that Cao Cao would have killed him dismiss.

"Prime Minister Qi, the method of the Fire Bull Formation has been lost for a long time, and I don't know about it, but I want to practice this method. Although it is not the Fire Bull Formation, it has the same effect!"

Hearing what Sima Yi said, Cao Cao's face gradually slowed down, staring at Sima Yi directly said.

"And it's the truth, don't hide it!"

"promise!"

Sima Yi cupped his hands, and then said slowly and seriously.

"My lord, the so-called fire bull array is just like what I said, it is basically a fire starter, the real mystery is that the fire bull rush itself is unstoppable, and I don't know what mysterious method can drive it. In other words, if the method can be achieved, then it is no different from the Fire Bull Formation."

"How to achieve the same as the Fire Bull Formation?"

Cao Cao will either be deceived by one or two words.

"No matter how brave the fire ox is, how can it be as brave and good at fighting as the soldiers? No matter how brave the fire ox is, how can it be as good as the soldiers in the army? Now I have a method, which is to wear thick armor, and the inside Hidden gunpowder and other fire starters, as long as you use your heart, once you ignite the fire, it will become huge."

Sima Yi remained motionless, and slowly explained the methods he used.

"As long as the lord chooses brave soldiers from the army, and then uses them as pioneers, rushes into Wei Tao's army wearing a special thick armor, and then kills himself, no matter how brave Wei Tao's subordinates are, it will be difficult To block, after entering the army, he will ignite his fire, with a thick armor to block him, even if he is wearing his fire, he will not die for a while, so who in Wei Tao's army would dare to block such a charge? However, he took advantage of the situation to disrupt his formation, and then rushed to the place where his food and grass were stored, and set fire to it. Although Wei Tao's food was more than our army, he must not have more than ten days' food. It is estimated that as long as there are [-] loyal and brave men, we can do it!"

"hiss……"

Even with Cao Cao's heart, he couldn't help but gasp after hearing Sima Yi's strategy.

This plan is also poisonous!

Cao Cao dares to be sure, if this plan is leaked out, I am afraid that there will be rebellion in the army, and even the soldiers under his command will not agree. It is no wonder that Sima Yi wants to push back people around. Everyone is going to make a fuss.

"My lord, it's the so-called death and rebirth. If the princes of the past were still alive, the lord would not only easily attract many princes to besiege, but also lose the hearts of the people. It is really impossible. This is the way to seek death. "

But at this time, Sima Yi still had a calm face, and spoke slowly, as if the poisonous plan did not come from his mouth.

"But Fang Tian's world is different. The only princes in the world are the lord and Wei Taoer. As long as we can defeat Wei Tao, it will not be too late to clean up the world. As for the small public grievances, as long as the lord pays a lot of money afterward, that is enough. It can be balanced."

After all, Cao Cao was Cao Cao, so he calmed down soon, and calmly listened to Sima Yi's words one by one.

With Cao Cao's ingenuity, it is not difficult to see that this strategy is not impractical, but it is a gamble, at least the lives of [-] soldiers.

Not to mention whether the so-called special thick armor can be taken off after burning, even if it can be taken off, how can there be so much effort on the battlefield?

It can be said that once this plan is implemented, the [-] soldiers will not be able to avoid death anyway.

Even though Cao Cao was originally a hero, but when he really heard this plan, he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart. This can be said to be an extremely poisonous plan!
But at this time, Cao Cao also had to say that this plan is also a real clever plan, as long as Wei Tao is not guarded, then it is very likely that he will be defeated by himself.

"Zhongda's plan is very clever."

After a long time, Cao Cao finally spoke slowly.

After all, Cao Cao is a heroic character. Although he also cherishes his soldiers, he also has the decisiveness to kill.

At this time, Cao Cao fixed his eyes on Sima Yi, then slowly got up, and then continued to speak after a slight silence.

"I just bet this game with Zhongda. If I win, then I will keep the big man and gain a foothold in this half of the Central Plains. I may not have a chance to make a comeback in the future. If I lose, then I, Cao Mengde, will be willing to use my life to serve the big man Already!"

Seeing that Cao Cao had made up his mind, Sima Yi also stood up and bowed to Cao Cao.

"Sima Zhongda is willing to accompany the lord, so that he can defeat the thief!"
