Chapter 459 The Joy and Worry of Cao Mengde

Jingzhou and Jiangdong Group's changes day by day are transmitted to Cao Cao's desk by secret newspaper. Cao Cao can only regret it. If there is no defeat in the Battle of Chibi, if you listen to the persuasion of Taishi Jia Xu, or look at the tips reserved by Guo Jia in advance, how can you be so passive? If the operation is correct, it should be that Jiangdong Group and Liu Bei are fighting well at this time. But the reality is that Liu Bei and Jiangdong Group joined hands to defeat themselves in Chibi... Finally, Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou. Jiangdong Group changed its blood and became stronger. It was three points stronger than when Sun Quan was in power, because when Sun Quan was in charge, there were also worries about internal disasters, and there were many contradictions between the generals... Now it is Well, Liu Bei, who was originally a homeless dog, also has a place, and the Jiangdong Group, which was originally weak due to internal disasters, has also become united...

In the past few days, Cao Cao's mood has changed dramatically: when he first arrived in Chang'an City, he was warmly welcomed by the local residents. This welcome came from the hearts of the local people, not a superficial show. After all, Cao Cao participated in the coalition army's campaign against the brutal Xiliang Legion twice, and his outstanding contributions and achievements were common. See, in the hearts of the people: Cao Cao is not like other princes, and his stomach is full of flowers... Cao Cao's efforts have been rewarded today.

When Sima Yi, who accompanied him, saw that Cao Cao was so respected and welcomed in Chang'an, he also sighed: the eyes of the masses are bright. As long as you do it sincerely, the people will repay you. Cao Cao himself is naturally extremely happy.

But in the evening, he received news about Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and his high spirits and joy fell to the bottom: Jiangdong Group, Taishici successfully succeeded to the throne, and was not criticized by the rich clan. Instead, they were more closely united around Taishici. In terms of Jingzhou, Liu Bei's side successfully occupied Changsha County, and Put the veteran Huang Zhong under his command. The excellent performance of the opposite is Cao Cao's heart knot and heart disease. This is not Cao Cao's narrow-mindedness and the sand in his eyes, but the normal reaction of who eats chili but not spicy mouth...

Under the dim light, Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao's depressed expression and comforted Cao Cao and said, "King of Wei, at this point, we can only face it calmly!" King Wei, as long as Jiangdong Group does not join hands with Jingzhou Liu Bei to invade us, they will not become a climate..."

After Cao Cao sighed, he stared at Sima Yi and motioned Sima Yi to continue to talk. At this time, Cao Cao felt that his brain had been rigid, and he could only operate and think with the help of the power of the outside world.

Sima Yi smiled and continued to say gently, "King of Wei, the new hatred and old hatred are the insurmountable gap between Jiangdong Group and Jingzhou Liu Bei: although Jiangdong Group has changed the head, the King of Wu Taishi Ci can't ignore the feelings of the Sun family. After all, the Huang Zhong and the Sun family recruited by Liu Bei are irrecongruous. Heaven's hatred; according to the speculation of inferiority, Lord Jiangdong did not die Zhou Yu at the hands of Cao Zhang, but at the hands of Zhuge Liang. With Zhou Yu's prestige in Jiangdong Group, Jiangdong Group can only find Liu Bei in Jingzhou to revenge, and will not ally with Liu Bei again invade us. In addition to the new hatred and old hatred, Jiangdong Group and Jingzhou Liu Bei are still There is the entanglement of the four counties of Jingzhou... In time, while appeasing the Jiangdong Group, we will gather heavy troops to attack Jingzhou, so that we can get rid of the great trouble of the king of Wei!"

Cao Cao kept nodding while listening to Sima Yi's explanation. When Sima Yi mentioned Jiangdong Group and imagined Taishi Ci, the new head of Jiangdong Group, he frowned slightly and said, "King Wei, Taishi Ci, the new head of Jiangdong Group, is not easy to deal with. I guess it will be difficult for us to feed him..."

Cao Cao said disapprovingly, "Tai Shici? If he doesn't get in, I really don't know how to deal with him. As long as he opens his mouth, I will care about him enough! ...Zhong Da, when it comes to Taishi Ci, I suddenly thought of: Tai Shici became the king of Wu all the way. I think there must be a super think tank behind him... Zhong Da, imagine: Originally, Sun Hao wanted to blow up dissident generals with strong explosives, but why was his side killed in the end? Originally, Taishi Ci's side could quickly kill the Japanese demons hiding in Sun's mansion in Fuchun County. Why did they surround and not attack? The reason for this is that Taishi Ci wants to take the opportunity to build momentum, weaken the influence of the Sun family in the Jiangdong boundary with the extension of time, and then create space for Taishi Ci to successfully rise to the top, so that the people of the Jiangdong boundary think that Taishi Ci is the king of Wu is the general trend and reasonable... This kind of meticulous plan, Tianyi The implementation of sewing is not what Tai Shici can do! According to my understanding of Tai Shici, if he kills him and staves his neck, he will not surpass the Sun family, accept the title of the King of Wu, and replace the Sun family. He can only let the Sun family serve as the King of Wu, and then he devoted himself to help. After all, Sun Ce and Sun Quan of the Sun family have cultivated kindness to him, and he will repay him. The hero! ..."

When Sima Yi heard the words, he nodded repeatedly. Then he said thoughtfully to Cao Cao, "What the king of Wei said is very true! As far as I know, Tai Shici will have a wise counselor - Bo Cai. Bocai used to be the chief military division of the Yellow Turban Army, and was deeply valued by the first Liang of the Yellow Turban Army thieves... It is estimated that many years ago, when Taishi Ci was still wandering in Qingzhou, Bo Cai defected to him... Taishi Ci can have today's glory and glory, which is indeed beyond the expectation of most people. After all, he was suppressed by all parties in the Jiangdong Group before. Elephant, and he himself is also often closed due to his injury... One is Tai Shici and the other is Zhuge Liang. It's really a sudden rise, which is impressive..."

"Oh, by the way, Zhong Da, whose cultivation is better than Zhuge Liang's spells?" When it comes to Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao began to have a headache: in the Battle of Chibi, if Zhuge Liang hadn't cast spells to intensify the energy of sudden change of wind direction, Cao Cao's side would not have been defeated.

Sima Yi thought for a while and said to Cao Cao, "King of Wei, Zhuge Liang's spells are obtained from the descendants of the Yellow Emperor through double practice. His spells are inherited from the Yellow Emperor; and the inferior spells are hard practiced by himself, and they are inherited from Emperor Yan... Zhuge Liang is proficient in the method of gossip. Shu, humble jobs are good at the spells of the five elements. Compared with humble jobs, they have their own advantages! However, Zhuge Liang's spell application battlefield and training of soldiers must be earlier than Beizhi in time, but please rest assured that Beizhi will do his best to catch up with Zhuge Liang..."

"Oh, then Lao Zhongda is bothering..." Cao Cao said happily.

"King of Wei, this is all a matter of inferiority! He also wants the king of Wei to achieve his wish as soon as possible to unify the country and return the people to a peaceful and stable world!" Sima Yi said with a sincere face.

Subsequently, Cao Cao discussed with Sima Yi how to deal with the specific matters of the current attack on Xiliang Ma Chao. At the third hour of the night, when the two were talking about each other, suddenly there was a detailed work coming in and something important in return.

The detailed work came back from Liangzhou City. After he gave a secret letter to Cao Cao, he turned around and left. Cao Cao opened the secret newspaper. After reading it carefully, he said to Sima Yi happily, "Zhong Da, Mu Han in Xiliangzhou finally agreed to attack Ma Chao's army with us. This is all thanks to Jia Xu..."

Sima Yi's eyes showed surprise. He took the secret letter from Cao Cao and read it carefully. After reading the secret letter, Sima Yi's expression also became relaxed. He knew that when Cao Cao decided to lead the army to the west, Cao Cao told Jia Xu to contact Han Sui in Xiliang Prefecture... Jia Xu sent a letter and sent someone to Han Sui. As the leading clan family in Liangzhou, after reviewing the situation, Han Sui decided to unilaterally break the contract, stop cooperating with Ma Chao, and choose to join hands with Cao Cao to deal with Ma Chao who raised troops and rebel...

Cao Cao thought of Jia Xu, and he immediately smiled softly: Jia Xu, who was originally a military master, should have fought with the army. However, the people of Chang'an City hated Jia Xu to the bone. It turned out that when Dong Zhuo, the commander of the Xiliang Legion, occupied Chang'an City and Luoyang City, it hadn't been for Jia Xu's advice for Dong Zhuo. Fang had been defeated for a long time; with the help of Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo committed a terrible crime in Luoyang City and Chang'an City... At this time, Luoyang City, even if the residents in the city were new, they did not have a good impression of Jia Xu. In order not to affect the feelings between Cao Cao and the people of Chang'an City, Jia Xu did not join the army and came to Chang'an City.

In order to make Sima Yi stand up, Cao Cao promoted Jia Xu to Taishi, and let Sima Yi replace Jia Xu's official position and become a military master.

However, Han Sui decided to form an alliance with Cao Cao, which was also conditional: Han Sui asked in a secret letter that Cao Cao's side would send an important figure to Xiliangzhou City secretly. In this way, Han Sui dared to let go of his hands and feet to deal with Ma Chao...

In the face of Han Sui's request, Sima Yi recommended himself and volunteered to act as a special envoy and secretly went to Xiliangzhou City. Cao Cao was a little worried about Sima Yi's request. He said with suspicion on his face, "Zhong Da, Han Sui is a two-faced wall-riding party... In case he repents his cooperation with me at that time, won't he retreat you into the fire? ...I think it's appropriate to send a fierce general..."

At this time, for various reasons, Cao Cao changed his general halfway, and only Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu were the two people around him who could act as special envoys. These two people are from the Xiliang Legion. With them going to Han Sui's side, it is easier to communicate with Han Sui.

Sima Yi retorted with a smile and said, "King of Wei, as far as I know, Ma Chao's martial arts skills are the brave three armies, which can't be dealt with by ordinary super generals. It's more appropriate for General Xu and General Zhang to stay with you! The humble position acts as an envoy to Xiliangzhou City. Even if Han then repents, the inferior position still has the ability to protect itself! ... At that time, as long as the king of Wei drags Ma Chao on the front line, the humble position will urge Han Sui to gather troops as soon as possible and counterattack Ma Chao. With lightning speed, he will defeat Ma Chao..."

Cao Cao saw Sima Yi's resolute look and could only agree to Sima Yi's request. It's not too late. Late at night, Sima Yi tidied up his bags a little and followed Xi Zuo to Xiliangzhou City.
