The two decided to divide their troops into two groups, one of which was led by Le Jin with [-] troops, marching northward to Gaoping, taking Beidi County and Anding County, and then approaching Wuwei.

On the other side, Zhang He commanded an army of [-] troops, transferred to Wuzhi, took Hanyang County, and pushed forward to Longxi County.

Although the enemy here is stronger, he can still turn to Wudu County, threaten Hanzhong, and conquer Liu Bei with Liu Ke's army.

This is actually the strategy formulated by Liu Ke after discussing with the officials.

Moreover, he didn't set a deadline for the two of them. As long as they follow this strategy, they can erode Cao Cao's power little by little.

The continuous threat in the territory can also make Cao Cao unable to develop with peace of mind, so he can only prepare his troops and prepare for battle at any time.

This also avoided the threat of Cao Cao taking the opportunity to make a comeback when Liu Ke solved Liu Bei and Sun Ce.

That being the case, the two parted ways on the second day after finishing their repairs, and headed towards their respective goals.

As for Cao Cao, after being rescued by Sima Yi, the tone he had been holding on to in his heart finally eased.

But this way, it also made his physical condition take a turn for the worse.

In fact, it is not a day or two for Cao Cao to be troubled by the wind.

Such a disease should be calm and focused on recuperation, and it is very taboo to get angry.

However, Cao Cao didn't follow the doctor's advice at all, and instead raised troops to attack again and again.

Once the soldiers and horses came to fight, the living conditions were already very difficult.

Coupled with the successive defeats, it had a great impact on his emotions.

Under the combined influence of multiple factors, Cao Cao fell ill before returning to Jincheng.

Seeing Cao Cao's state, instead of worrying, Sima Yi was secretly happy.

Because Cao Cao has always been very vigilant against Sima Yi, and he even stayed before: the eagle watches the wolf, cannot be reused, and if used, it will hinder the evaluation of the master.

So Sima Yi has always been very jealous of Cao Cao, and only dares to be cautious, for fear of making any outrageous actions and causing death.

Now Cao Cao finally fell ill, and the situation seemed to be very serious, which made Sima Yi feel more at ease.

He ordered people to put Cao Cao in the carriage and set off for Jincheng on a starry night journey.

When the vanguard arrived in Jincheng, Cao Pi hurried out of the city to meet him.

Seeing Cao Cao's pale and haggard face, he couldn't help crying: "Father, I don't want to see you for a few months.

You are so emaciated!Hai'er brought the best doctors in Liangzhou to diagnose and treat you! "

At this moment Cao Cao was too weak to speak, but Cao Pi's performance moved others very much.

Whether it was Cao Pi's original subordinates or some veterans who were loyal to Cao Cao, they all looked at this young master with special respect.

After several days of diagnosis and treatment and self-cultivation, Cao Cao finally recovered his sanity, but the improvement is still not very good.

Regarding this change, Sima Yi was naturally the most worried about it.

Because the reinforcements led by him had set out early, but they didn't appear until the critical moment when Cao Cao's army was defeated.

Although for the time being, everyone only knows that Sima Yi has contributed to the rescue.

But if we go deeper and carefully investigate the ins and outs, we will naturally be able to understand how much time Sima Yi has delayed during this period.

Therefore, he must not let Cao Cao slow down.

So Sima Yi sneaked into Cao Pi's mansion that night.

Gathered by him were three other think tanks of Cao Pi, Wu Zhi who was on this trip separately, and Chen Qun and Zhu Shuo who stayed behind in Jincheng.

Seeing this, Cao Pi asked in surprise, "Why are you visiting late at night? Is there anything urgent?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, Sima Yi immediately knelt down on the ground and said sadly, "My lord, a catastrophe is imminent, and I am here today to ask for help!"

Cao Pi was very puzzled when he heard the words.

"What does Zhong Da mean by this? His father was surrounded by Liu Ke's army before, but it's not like it is today.

Why did your father return safely, and Liu Ke's army also retreated, but you said that a catastrophe is imminent? "

While talking, Cao Pi lifted the four of them up, but Sima Yi still looked sad and kept wiping away his tears.

"Zhongda, you just have to speak straight. Is there any gap between you and me?" Cao Pi also made an angry expression.

Seeing this, Sima Yi finally stopped covering up and started to speak out.

"Young master, although the king has returned, Liangzhou is still in the midst of internal and external troubles. It is in danger and is in danger of being destroyed at any time!"

"Zhongda, I understand the foreign troubles, it's naturally Liu Ke's army. But what are the internal troubles you're talking about?

Could it be that there are spies in our ranks? "

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Facing Cao Pi's puzzlement, Sima Yi had no choice but to explain.

"My lord, please forgive me for being so treacherous. This time I escorted the king back. The king coughed up blood many times along the way, and the situation was very serious.

But now it has returned to its original state. It is definitely not like a normal situation. Instead, it looks like a flashback, so I said something about beheading.

Your Majesty may not have much time! "
