Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 483 Sima Yi Offers Advice

But said.

The news of Liu Qi and Liu Bei's stalemate in Puyang was also spread.

Although there were battles between the two armies, there were no deadly battles. They were all small-scale battles, as if each had their own plans, and they were not prepared to quickly decide the outcome.

Chang'an City, the prime minister's residence.

After Cao Cao received the news from Jizhou, he also sent people to call Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Sima Yi and other counselors to the mansion to discuss.

After all, facing such a situation.

It's also impossible to have no ideas and prepare early in the morning, but just didn't find out the situation and didn't have any good opportunities, so I just stayed put.

If you can reap the benefits of being a fisherman, why bother to get involved in this muddy water.

Moreover, Liu Bei's behavior is not trying to drag them into the water.

of course.

If it is beneficial, even if it is used once, it is not a bad thing; if it is not profitable, it is not a bad thing to watch a play on the sidelines.

At least when the two sides still have spare power.

There will be no action.

"Lord!"

When Cao Cao was thinking about things.

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Sima Yi and other counselors also came together and saluted Cao Cao one after another.

heard.

Cao Cao also came to his senses in deep thought, and waved his hands: "You don't need to be polite, just sit down!"

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai and the others also bowed their hands and sat down in order.

"I don't know why my lord summoned us here?" Xi Zhi asked just as he sat down.

Xun Yu, Sima Yi and others also looked at Cao Cao. After all, they were all dealing with government affairs, and they came here together only after receiving Cao Cao's order. They didn't know what happened.

There are also some guesses in my heart.

If it wasn't some major event, Cao Cao wouldn't have summoned them either.

"According to the news sent back, the King of Han and the King of Qi are now fighting in Puyang, and the East County has fallen. The King of Han did not intend to take back the East County immediately. Instead, he asked Huang Zhong and Zhang He to lead [-] Han troops to hold the guard. It's just Guan Yu from Dongjun!"

"However, the King of Han and Ma Chao, who was originally in Yecheng, besieged the King of Qi in Puyang, surrounded on three sides, leaving only the east side unarmed; the King of Qi was not prepared to break out from the east and stayed in Puyang. Stick to Puyang!"

"And Zhao Yun in Runan also led [-] Han troops to attack Qiao County, but Qiao County and Pengcheng look out for each other, and now Guan Ping, who is guarding Qiao County, is also closing the gates of the city!"

"For a while, the battle between the King of Han and the King of Qi also came to a stalemate, and on the boundary of Puyang, the King of Han has the upper hand!"

Cao Cao was about to get the news, so he briefly told everyone.

immediately.

After scanning the crowd, he continued: "What do you all think should be done?"

The voice fell.

Xi Zhicai and others also knew why Cao Cao summoned them.

They are also very concerned about Liu Bei's attack on Liu Qi. After all, such things will also affect their side.

There was discussion at the first time, but no action was taken at the first time.

Storing soldiers and horses, move randomly!

This is also the result of their first discussion.

That's because the situation is still unclear.

"My lord, the king of Qi sent his army to attack the king of Han, but the king of Han knew that there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, but he still sent troops to fight, and he certainly would not have imagined that our army, as well as Wu army, would take the opportunity to attack, so that , it also proves that the king of Han has arrangements, so he will be fearless!"

"Of course, it's also possible that Han Wang is deceiving us. He also thinks the same way when he wants to come to Wu Jun, so he hasn't acted until now!"

"However, all the combatable soldiers under the King of Han have been dragged down. Although there are soldiers and horses in other places, there are not many. Even if there is a plan!" Xi Zhicai stood up, and when he said this, he became serious , with a determined look in his eyes, "This subordinate thinks it is possible to fight!"

"Subordinates wait for second!"

Sima Yi, Xun Yu and others also stood up and agreed with Xi Zhicai's words.

After all, they are not far behind.

See the expressions of everyone.

Cao Cao was also silent for a while.

There was no action for a long time.

First, he was worried about Liu Qi's secret arrangements, and he could come back to support Liu Bei at any time before fighting Liu Bei. He didn't want to contribute to Liu Bei; second, he didn't have the right time to send troops.

However, after receiving the news that Liu Qi and Liu Bei were in a stalemate, he was also moved, so he called Xi Zhicai and others to discuss.

thought here.

The expression in his eyes also became firm, and he said: "So, where do you think is the most suitable place to swing your troops from?"

"My lord, the king of Han and the king of Qi have the most troops in Jizhou now. If our army joins in, it will only become a three-way melee; and in the land of Jingzhou, the Wu army must also have plans, and there may be a stalemate in the end; subordinates I think our army can take the land of Yizhou!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands.

"My lord, my subordinates also agree with what Military Master Xi said!"

Sima Yi also stood up, cupped his hands and said: "According to what our army has learned, there are now 30 newly recruited Han troops in Yizhou, scattered all over the place, but they don't have any combat power at all, which is equivalent to the average Han army. It’s just the city guards, and there are only [-] Han troops in Hanzhong, [-] Han troops in Fushui Pass, and [-] Han troops in Luocheng!”

Speaking of it.

Sima Yi also paused.

"The subordinates believe that the army can be divided into two groups, one way is through Chencang, leaving Qishan, and directly taking Fushuiguan; the other way is through the inclined valley, taking the land of Hanzhong; Soldiers, cross Xiegu Pass and attack Hanzhong, in the dark!"

"One light and one dark can also quickly break through Yizhou's defense line, and the army will drive straight in and take the land of Yizhou!"

"Furthermore, it is not necessary to use force to seize the land of Hanzhong. If the plan is right, perhaps the land of Hanzhong and Fushui Pass can be taken without much effort. When the army arrives, they can directly take Chengdu!"

Done.

Sima Yi also had confidence in his eyes, looking at Cao Cao.

After listening to Sima Yi's words.

Cao Cao stroked the beard on his chin, pondered for a moment, then looked at Xi Zhicai and the others, and said, "What do you guys think of Zhong Da's plan?"

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and other counselors also looked at each other and nodded in approval.

"My lord, my subordinates think that Sima Zhubo's plan is feasible. We can make Sima Zhubo the commander-in-chief, and then send two generals to accompany him to listen. He will definitely be able to plan the land of Hanzhong for our lord!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands.

He also nodded to Sima Yi.

He didn't feel dissatisfied because Sima Yi was a backward person, and he also deliberated about the strategy Sima Yi said, and it was indeed feasible.

Only then did he stand up and speak for Sima Yi.

And recommending Sima Yi to be the commander of the first army is just to let Sima Yi better implement his own strategy.

See here.

Sima Yi also nodded to Xi Zhicai.

He also understood that Xi Zhicai was helping him, and of course he didn't have any bad intentions.
