Chapter 97 Sima Yi's situation

Sima Yi is really at a loss now, which is still a rare thing for him. Once upon a time, he played with Cao Jian and Liu Bei in the palm of his hand and used them as guns, but he made a profit from them. At that time, he felt that he was simply a god, an omnipotent god. But soon, the territory they occupied was taken back by them one by one. Hedong County was like this, Longxi was like this, and Wudu and Yinping County were like this. Even Guanzhong could not be saved, so that I could only stay in Hanzhong now and survive.

Up to now, Sima Yi didn't know that he underestimated the heroes in the world. Among other things, let's talk about Zhao Feng from Xichuan. This time, he even used a clever plan to seize the customs from his own hands, making Sima Yi and Cao Yan dizzy, and the latter even died because of this. Such a person is really terrible. Now he is in charge of Hanzhong, and Liu Bei is in charge of the town in the north. There are Ma Chao in the west, Shangyong soldiers in the east, and Xichuan in the south. It is the so-called siege. No matter how confident Sima Yi is, he can't guarantee that he can keep the last foundation of Hanzhong in such a dangerous situation.

"Now that we are surrounded on all sides, even if we want to keep this size, I'm afraid it's difficult to do it. Only now, we can only protect ourselves first. After calming down, Sima Yi suggested. As soon as they said this, Guo Huai and others were a little relieved. They were afraid that Sima Yi would not admit defeat and insisted on being tough. At present, Guo Huai asked tentatively, "Lord, do you mean to vote for Liu Bei or Cao Pi?"

"If you vote for Liu Bei, it is just to eliminate the coercion of the future; now Liu Qiang and Cao Weak, if you vote for Cao Pi. The two weak people work together, and they can also deal with the strong. Therefore, I intend to temporarily vote for Cao Pi. Sima Yi thought for a time. The idea is very good, but the problem is that with Sima Yi's foundation, even if he joins hands with Cao Pi, there is little hope to turn the world around. And if he surrenders to Liu Bei now, even if there is no hope to compete for the world again, Liu Bei can at least give him a way to survive. When Sima Yi refused this road, he was doomed to himself and could only go to the dark one by one.

At present, Sima Yi sent an envoy with his own handwritten letter, secretly sneaked into Sili through the three eastern counties, and then went to see Cao Pi. After counting, the messenger came to Ye City, met Cao Pi, the emperor of the State of Wei, and sent a handwritten letter to his boss Ma Yi. Seeing this, Cao Pi quickly summoned the ministers for discussion.

"Guys, Sima Yi, a traitor, is going to join hands with me. What do you think?" Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, threw Sima Yi's handwritten letter on the table. In fact, Cao Pi's attitude towards the other party towards the traitor can be seen.

Naturally, the first thing to say is Hua Xin, who is good at guessing his intentions. Seeing that Cao Pi was unhappy, Hua Xin quickly said, "Sima Yi is a rebel. Now he still has the face to form an alliance with your majesty. It is clear that he is alone and wants to find a way to live for himself. In my opinion, don't pay attention to him and let him die by Liu Bei!"

"Hmm!" Cao Pi nodded with satisfaction when he heard the words, feeling that the words were really good. However, Cao Pi still had a trace of Qingming. He turned his head and asked Jia Xu, "Captain, in your opinion, what should you do?"

Since Cao Pi usurped Han and ascended the throne, Xun You has been ill, so now Jia Xu has become Cao Pi's most trusted think tank. After a little meditation, Jia Xu finally said unoptimistically: "Sima Yi is now in the middle of the Han Dynasty, but his people are surrounded by Liu Bei. There are only tens of thousands of soldiers. Even if we are allied with him, I'm afraid it is difficult to get any benefits. But if we don't form an alliance with it, we can deal with Liu Bei on our own, and we can't do it. Now I have a plan, which may be beneficial to us.

"Captain, speak quickly!" Cao Pi hurriedly said when he heard the words, but he heard Jia Xu say in a low voice, "Your Majesty can agree to his request for alliance, and then edict the world, saying that he canonized him as the king of Hanzhong. In this way, Liu Bei must hate Sima Yi, who is close at hand, and then transfer troops to recruit. I'll wait and watch Liu Bei's action, and I may benefit from it!"

If you want to say that Jia Xu, the poisoner, is really not covered. If he toss around like this, he will basically squeeze the surplus value of Sima Yi and get it all. Force him to be the leader, and then take things out of it himself. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi was a little unhatisfactory when he heard the words, but snorted, "Sima Yi is particularly hateful. He once raised an army against me in those years. How can he be awarded the title of prince?"

"Your Majesty, your name is King, but in fact, it's just to let Liu Bei attack him!" Jia Xu explained. . In fact, even Jia Xu himself is not too optimistic about this idea in his heart. After all, Sima Yi's strength is too weak. If Liu Bei wants to move him, he only needs to send out Guanzhong or Xichuan soldiers, but the soldiers of the Central Plains can not move. In this way, it is not so easy for you to get something from it. However, this is the most appropriate way to deal with it. Cao Pi thought about it and decided to listen to Jia Xu's opinion.

"The lieutenant's words are not unreasonable. In this way, the decree is to make Sima Yi the king of the Han Dynasty and edict the world at the same time!" Cao Pi nodded. After a few days, an unexpected news spread all over the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, ordered Sima Yi of Hanzhong to be the king of Hanzhong, and pushed this little prince who was almost ignored.

Everyone remembers that when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty died the year before last, it was Sima Yi who was the first to raise the banner of righteousness and called on the world's heroes to fight against Cao Qian, the king of Wei at that time. Sima Yi and Cao Wei were irreconcilable. It's really surprising that Cao Pi has ascended the throne now, but canonized Sima Yi to the throne. Liu Bei, the Zhaolie Emperor of Guanzhong, after hearing the news, also summoned the ministers to discuss state affairs at the first time.

"Gentlemen, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and now he canonized Sima Yi's throne, which is really hateful. I intended to wipe out Hebei after the beginning of spring. Now it seems that it's better to wipe out Sima Yi first!" In Chang'an City, Liu Bei looked at a military newspaper sent in front of him and said with hatred. It's no wonder that whoever is by his side will be unhappy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Now the two thieves join hands. Although they are not afraid, they should not be too careless. In the opinion of the minister, it is better to let Prince Zhao, the general of Zhengxi, send troops to Hanzhong and completely destroy Sima Yi, so as to eliminate future trouble! As for Cao Pi, according to the previous plan, your majesty will personally conquer him, completely wipe him out, and unify the world!" Seeing that Liu Bei was so unhappy, Sikong Chen Qun exhortate. Although Chen Qun is not good at military strategy, his surname is very calm, and the strategy proposed is also relatively old-fashioned and more appetite for Liu Bei. The latter nodded repeatedly.

"Xichuan plus the three eastern counties can mobilize no less than 100,000 troops, and can also transfer troops from Jingzhou and Xiliang. Sima Yi was in the middle of the Han Dynasty, and his military strength was only forty or fifty thousand. It must be extremely easy for Prince Zhao to destroy him!" Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang Cheng also nodded. His younger brother, Zhang Xiu, the governor of Xincheng, was promoted by Zhao Feng many times, and he also had a good impression on the prince.

The ministers are all persuading Liu Bei that there is no need to be angry about Sima Yi's little thing, just strangling him to death. Liu Bei didn't get angry at all, and his mood calmed down with a little persuasion. Turning his head to look at the crowd, Liu Bei said, "In this case, we will send troops to destroy Cao Pi after the beginning of spring. As for Sima Yi in Hanzhong, let Bo Tao deal with it!" After a pause, Liu Bei asked again, "Gentlemen, I intend to march into Hebei after the beginning of spring. Do you think how to enter the army?"

"Big brother, our navy is sharp. You can march from Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and attack the land of Sili and Jizhou at the same time. Cao Pi must not be able to take care of both the beginning and the end. In this way, Hebei can go down in a battle!" It was Zhang Fei who said this, and Liu Bei was not surprised to nod even when he heard it. At this time, he explored the Malay newspaper and said that Cao Pi sent general Zhang Yitun troops to Hongnong, and Xu Huang led the army to enter Hedong and always beware of the enemy in Guanzhong.

"It seems that Cao Piguo is really young and energetic. He has just become an emperor and is not enjoying happiness in Ye City. He is coming to fight with me!" Liu Bei rarely made a joke. Jokes aside, Liu Bei also knows that although Cao Pi only occupies the surrounding area now, among these four states, there is Jizhou, the richest of the Han Dynasty. Although the other party's strength is slightly worse than his own, he can't be underestimated. At least, Cao Pi is not a little trick like Sima Yi, which can be strangled to death.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Liu Bei pulled Zhang Fei and ordered people to bring several precious medicinal materials to Xiqiang and Nanzhong. The two of them came to visit the home of Prime Minister Lu Su, who was sick in bed.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness!" When Lu Su saw that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei came to visit at the same time, he quickly struggled to get up to salute, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

"Zi Jing is sick in bed, no need to be polite!" Liu Bei motioned Lu Su to lie down and talk, and he and Zhang Fei sat on the stool. Zi Jing, why are you suddenly so sick? Liu Bei looked at Lu Su, who had lost a lot of weight in front of him, and also frowned.

"Alas, I have lived in the south for a long time. When I came to the north, I was so unconvinced. It's really unexpected!" Lu Su said with a wry smile. With such a smile, Lu Su coughed again. Historically, Lu Su died in 216 A.D., which was already 214 A.D. After a pause, Lu Su also sighed, "When I was not an official, I made friends carelessly, took the harmful things such as Wushisan, and even my body was weak. Later, although he had to be instructed by the magic doctor Hua Tuo to quit this thing, his body had been greatly damaged.

"If I hadn't been in such a hurry to come to Guanzhong, why would I let Zijing suffer from this!" Liu Bei sighed. When Lu Su heard the words, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's words killed me. I used to say that I was just a valley man on the bank of the Huai River. Fortunately, I met your majesty. For decades, I have been suitable for the emperor and minister, and I have been the prime minister. Even if I am heartbroth, it is difficult to repay your majesty's kindness!" After a pause, Lu Su suddenly said, "Your Majesty, even if I recover from this disease, it will definitely hurt my muscles and bones. The prime minister's responsibilities are very important, and I'm afraid that I'm not competent.

"Don't worry, I already have a plan!" Liu Bei comforted him and said, "Zi Jing is not feeling well. I want to follow the example of Gaozu's old affairs. Under the prime minister, I will set up the left and right prime minister to assist the prime minister in co-director. Today, I came to see Zijing, just to hear your opinion and see who can take up the position of prime minister?

Lu Su pondered a little when he heard the words, but finally said cautiously, "Gu Yong and Gu Yuan sighed, the surname is Zheng Zheng, but he can be the prime minister of the left; as for the right prime minister, your majesty, what do you think of Zhuge Kongming?"
