Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 866 Sima Zhao's Heart

Cao Pi was seriously ill, and Cao Zhen hurried back to Luoyang.Sima Zhao and Sima Shi said: "Your Majesty's life is not long?"

Master Sima felt the same way, "It's a time of change, Your Majesty is in danger, and Cao Wei is going downhill, what should I do?" The two brothers came to see Sima Yi.

"Did father ever have a feud with Zhou Cang? Why did he hate me so much, Mrs. Sima?" Sima Zhao has asked Sima Yi many times this question.

"I've never had anything to do with him, and the number of times I've met him can be counted on the fingers, so why do we celebrate the festival?" Sima Yi was also puzzled all the time.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is itchy. If it collapses suddenly, the government and the public will be shaken, the morale of the army will fluctuate, and the people will be in trouble. How long can the Han army continue to attack again? Does father have a good plan?" Sima Shi asked.

"If you want to be safe, you must solve your future worries. I just need to take back Liangzhou, Guanzhong An will be the Sizhou Ding, and Si Zhou Ding will be able to deal with Zhou Cang to the end."

Sima Zhao chuckled: "There are two generals, Qu'a and Zhang He, here. How can Liangzhou be easily obtained?"

"Qu'a is no more than a warrior; Zhang He is good at maneuvering, understands changes, and is good at forming formations, but he is old and too upright. If Your Majesty gives me the right to control and dispatch, these two people can plan to break it." Sima Yi is also helpless, Cao Zhen is in This is the main general, and he can only complement each other, such as Chenggong Ying, Pang Hui, Kuai Jun, etc. cannot be dispatched.

"Father regards Zhang He as Yu Jin." Sima Zhao laughed, "Did Father ever think that, when Yu Jin was defeated and killed, why would Zhou Cang come to Wancheng in person?"

"Huh?" Sima Yi really didn't think about this question carefully. Now that he thinks about it, there is indeed a problem. Zhou Xin has many soldiers in Jingzhou. "Isn't it for Shangyong and Xu Du?"

"From what I can see, Zhou Xin is probably not in Jingzhou at this time, but in Yizhou!"

"Ah?" Sima Yi and Master Sima were both taken aback when these words came out, and Sima Zhao was very likely to be right.Zhou Xin's army entered Sichuan, and with Zhou Cang's help from behind, Yizhou would fall into his hands sooner or later.

Sima Shi shook his head: "Even so, the road to Yizhou is dangerous, Huang Quan and Li Yan are both famous generals, and with Jiang Wei around, it will not be smooth for Zhou Xin to enter Sichuan."

"Hehe, the problem is Jiang Wei. Could it be that father and brother haven't seen through this man yet? When the Han army entered Sichuan, Jiang Wei was not from Shu. How could Jiang Wei work for him? Why didn't he fight back and claim credit for Zhou Xin?"

Sima Yi took a deep breath, that's true, Jiang Wei is an outsider in Yizhou, he must be suspected a lot, this person has a high personality and will not be offended, since he can descend to Shu, he can also descend to Han.When Jiang Wei descended to the Han, wouldn't Zhou Xin be like a tiger with wings added, maybe he would take Bashu in a short time.If the Han army took down Bashu, they would definitely conspire against Hanzhong and set off a big war in Hanzhong. If they want to regain Liangzhou, they will come to naught, and even face enemies on both sides. Yongzhou and Chang'an will not be guaranteed.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Sima Yi felt a chill running down his back. What Sima Zhao said was undoubtedly the best explanation for Zhou Cang's visit to Wancheng in person.

In a few words, Sima Zhao actually talked about the situation of the battle. The problem is that Sima and his son can see clearly and calculate clearly, but they can't do anything. The Han army is too strong, and he has no time and space to play.

"Zirang, you said so much, do you have a plan?" Master Sima looked at his younger brother.

"Your Majesty dies, the building will collapse, how can there be eggs under the overturned nest? My Sima family is not tolerated by Zhou Cang, why should I be obsessed with this?" Sima Zhao sneered.

"As you wish?"

"Tuoba Liwei, the king of the Western Regions, took his place, but his hearts were not attached. Hearing that Zhang Gong, the prefect of Dunhuang, defected to him, he was highly valued. Why don't we go straight to the Western Regions to find an opportunity to replace him in the name of sending troops to Liangzhou?"

"No!" Sima Yi shook his head: "Zhou Cang forced the Xianbei and the Xiongnu to Mobei, but he still did not stop to wipe them out. Even if I go to the Western Regions, I am afraid that he will not give up."

"No. At the beginning, Duan Qizhen and Murong Yan could have enjoyed peace in Mobei, but they didn't think about self-cultivation and wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to attack without authorization. Not only did they lose their soldiers, but they also killed their generals, which aroused Zhou Cang's thunderous wrath. , and Zhou Cang was able to make a long-distance attack with the help of Zang Ba and Sun Guan. If Zang and Sun had helped each other, and the two tribes of Xianbei would not be chaotic, how could Zhou Cang be willing to make such a long journey?"

Sima Shi continued: "In your opinion, I just need to make peace with Zhou Cang as a minister, so that he has no excuse to send troops, and if he has no reinforcements, he will not send troops?"

"However, I have no dispute with him in the Western Regions, so why should he bother to go on an expedition? According to my father's words, I have no hatred for him in life and death, so why would he bother to kill him? Besides, Liwei is from Xianbei after all, so why should I replace him?" More reasonable? Besides, his soldiers have been in great battles for a long time, and their horses and horses are exhausted. Even if they have the heart to destroy me, how many years later? Zhou Cang has passed his sixtieth year, and he still has more strength?"

Sima Yi fell into deep thought. This move will definitely hasten the demise of Cao Wei, but what does this have to do with the Sima clan? He was forced into the mansion by Cao Cao back then, and he was careful and never made mistakes to get his current status.His father, Sima Fang, had eight sons and dozens of grandsons. With so many family members, how could they simply disappear? This is the only way to ensure the longevity of the Sima clan.The eldest brother Sima Lang is dead, and the second child Sima Yi becomes the head of the family, so he has to consider for the clan.

Master Sima was calculating the time silently. Although Cao Wei was already in turmoil, there were still nearly 10 horsemen, as well as generals such as Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang, Xia Houba, and Guo Huai. No matter how strong it is, it can last for a year and a half. At this time, if the Han army breaks through Tongguan and takes Hanzhong, it will be too late.

Sima Zhao added another piece of firewood: "It's better to be in charge than to be ordered by others. Since Cao Cao has reused the Cao family, why have you ever trusted outsiders? Lu Qian did it for him, but he was impeached and dismissed after taking the family wealth. How is it convincing? What can Cao Rui's baby do? With the power of my father and son, I will still be driven by him? Even if the king of the Western Regions is not wanted, Zhou Cang may build the Protectorate of the Western Court. It will not take a few years for me to recharge my batteries in the Western Regions With a strong team, it may not be clear who will win in the future!"

"My lord, you immediately send someone to the Western Regions to contact Zhang Gong to find out what's true, and send people to Luoyang and Hanzhong to find out what's going on." Sima Yi was moved. The always cautious old fox wanted the Western Regions to be the Sima clan's retreat, but he needed to do everything right. Prepare. "Ziyuan, tell your uncles to hurry up and secretly send the family and money to Tianshui, and they must leave separately and act in secret."

Sima Yi also smiled wryly. There was a breakdown in his own family. After giving birth to Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, there was no child for nearly 20 years. How strange.The eldest son Sima Shi is 19 years older than the third son, Sima Zhao is 16 years older, and only these two sons can contribute.

"Tell Zhang Ji, Chenggong Ying, Kuai Jun, etc. that I want to counterattack Liangzhou and order the state to prepare food for war." Zhou Tai is good at making meritorious deeds and good at using soldiers, so he was appreciated by Sima Yi and promoted to general.
