    When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, and he looked at Sima Yi.  Sima Yi showed no fear, his face was calm and calm.  Guo Jia's expression changed and he shouted sternly.

    "Although Zhuge Kongming was highly intelligent, there were numerous talents in the Western Tang Dynasty. Xi Zhicai and Xu Yuanzhi all had the wisdom of heaven and earth. Huang Hansheng, Zhang Wenyuan, and Xu Gongming were not ordinary people either! This matter is huge and should be considered in the long run."

    After hearing this, Cao Cao turned to look at Jia Xu.  Jia Xu's face was calm, he came out slowly, cupped his hands and said"".

    "The key to this is not the Western Tang Dynasty or the Shu Han, but the Qi of Ma and Meng. If Ma and Meng Qi were defeated by Wen Bufan, Wen Bufan could send reinforcements to the rescue. Although Zhuge Kongming's strategy was high, the Shu Han's military strength is now  Not much. In order to protect his country and prevent the Wei Dynasty from taking advantage of the situation, Zhuge Kongming will definitely conserve his troops and withdraw from Xichuan."

    "Oh? Then according to what Wen He said, if Ma Mengqi is defeated, Zhuge Kongming will also be defeated without a doubt!?"

    "It is always unpredictable when marching and fighting. Although Zhuge Kongming has unparalleled talents, the bijing of the Western Tang Dynasty dominates the situation. Although I am not 100% sure about Xu, I can't be far away from it."

    Jia Xu spoke slowly and calmly.  Cao Cao's expression condensed, his eyes shone brightly, and then he asked again.

    "Then what should I do now?"

    "The so-called opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back. Your Majesty can recruit troops and horses first, just in case, but also send people to the front line to inquire about the battle report of Xiliang. If Ma Mengqi can still resist Wen Bufan's army for several months, Your Majesty can win.  Then we mobilized troops from Jingzhou."

    Jia Xu¡¯s eyes were deep and his words hit exactly what Cao Cao was thinking.  Cao Cao nodded slightly, and then followed Jia Xu's words. While preparing for war, he trained his troops to go to Xiliang to investigate.  The fine works of Wei State are spread all over the world, and there are contact points everywhere to exchange news, so the news is transmitted very quickly.

    Ten days later, a detailed report was made and it was revealed that Ma Mengqi had been killed by Zhao Yun, the Shenlong General of the Western Tang Dynasty.  At this time, Wang Wen Bufan of the Western Tang Dynasty was resting his troops and horses in Liangzhou and preparing to return to Yongzhou to aid.  At the same time, careful reports were made, and Shu soldiers attacked Chencang wildly, and Chencang was in danger.  As a result, the officials suddenly started to quarrel.  Everyone held their own opinions. Some people saw that Chencang was in danger and advised Cao Cao to send out the army as soon as possible.  Someone saw that the Western Tang Army was about to return for reinforcements and advised Cao Cao to hold his troops.

    Cao Cao sat in the palace, his eyes narrowed, and he looked coldly at the quarrel among the ministers.  Suddenly, Cao Cao snorted coldly, as if he had the power of heaven, and the officials all tightened their expressions and stopped quarreling.  Cao Cao always respected Guo Jia the most and always asked him what he thought first. This time was no exception and he asked Guo Jia for advice.

    "Although Ma Mengqi has been killed, Chencang will also be captured by the Shu soldiers. In the relationship between Feng Feng and Xiao, what should I do!?"

    "Your Majesty is now stationed in the Yangtze River with hundreds of thousands of troops. He has been training his troops and horses for a long time. The ships and armaments are all gathered together. This is called being prepared. Your Majesty is fully prepared for the great cause of conquering Wu and should proceed quickly. On the contrary, if you march to the Western Tang Dynasty,  , The journey is in a hurry, and there are many variables. Your Majesty, why should we go to Jingzhou quickly and join forces to attack Wu!"

    Guo Jia¡¯s eyes are as bright and shining as stars.  When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and said nothing, then looked at Jia Xu and asked.

    "Then according to Wenhe's opinion, what should we do?"

    "What Marquis Zhen said is absolutely true. Your Majesty's attack on Soochow is indeed the general trend of the times and nothing will go wrong!"

    Jia Xu said attentively. After hearing this, Cao Cao was not happy or angry. He pondered for a while and then looked at Sima Yi.  Sima Yi looked shocked and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Cao Cao.  Cao Cao knew it was a show, so he narrowed his eyes and suddenly called out.

    "Where is Sima Zhongda!?"

    Cao Cao's voice was like thunder and mighty. Sima Yi was startled. He suddenly appeared, staggered suddenly, and his jaw hit the ground. Blood immediately flowed out. However, Sima Yi ignored the pain and kowtowed in response.

    "Sima Zhongda is here!"

    Seeing Sima Yi lose his composure, a group of bureaucrats secretly laughed at him.  Seeing how embarrassed Sima Yi was, Cao Cao frowned, but thought in his heart.

    "Hmph. Cunning villain."

    Cao Cao looked unhappy and asked Sima Yi.

    "You persuaded me to attack the Western Tang Dynasty before, why can't I see you speaking out to persuade me now?"

    Hearing this, Sima Yi first bowed to the ground and said respectfully.

    "Both Ming Gongs are very wise and have good advice. How can a certain person dare to speak out if he has little talent and knowledge?"

    Cao Cao moved his hand, but he became interested, stared at Sima Yi and said.

    "It doesn't matter what you say. Whether it's good or bad, I have my own discretion."

    "What!"

    Sima Yi responded, then his expression condensed and he said in a deep voice.

    "According to someone's observation. Zhuge Kongming has always known talents and appointed them. How could he not see that Ma Mengqi was not Wen Bufan's rival? And the reason why he sent troops to Xiliang was actually to contain Wen Bufan.Most of the soldiers and horses were there, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of him.  Zhuge Kongming had already attacked Nanzheng before, but then launched a massive attack on Chencang.  That's not what he meant. If someone's prediction was correct, it was actually a great cover. He secretly ordered a surprise force to move away from Xiegu, leave Qishan, and attack Chang'an!  In this way, when everyone in Yongzhou thought that Shu soldiers were going to send troops from Chencang, they would definitely send a large number of reinforcements. Chang'an's troops were empty, and Zhuge Kongming made a desperate move. The soldiers all used the momentum to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and it was not impossible to attack Chang'an.  If Chang'an is lost and the Western Tang Dynasty is in chaos, Zhang Fei will lead his troops to attack Chencang again.

    The Western Tang Dynasty focused on one thing and lost the other, and the situation was like a mountain collapse.  Therefore, based on my opinion, Your Majesty can allocate troops and horses to Hanoi and Hedong to deploy troops and horses secretly. Once Chang'an is really defended, he can immediately attack it with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.  The great power of the Western Tang Dynasty was actually a serious problem for the Wei Dynasty.  If we, the Great Wei, can annihilate the Western Tang Dynasty, even if Shu and Wu join forces, it will be difficult to resist the overwhelming power of our Great Wei.  In a few years, the world will be unified!  !  "

    Sima Yi¡¯s eyes shone, as if he had changed into a different person. This analysis can be described as exquisite and astonishing.  Even Jia Xu and Guo Jia, two outstanding figures in the world, could not help but look horrified.  Cao Cao's eyes were as detailed as if they could swallow the sky. Two rays of light shot out in an instant, and he quickly glanced at Guo Jia and Jia Xu respectively.  Guo Jia was silent.  Jia Xu secretly nodded.  At this time, Guo Jia's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked Sima Yi.

    "How did Zhongda know that Zhuge Kongming would definitely send out a surprise army from Qishan!?"

    "The Western Tang and the Shu Han have been fighting fiercely for several years. The Western Tang was strong and had strong soldiers and sufficient food. The Shu Han has survived to this day because of God's blessing. Now the Shu Han has very few troops, and with the death of Ma Mengqi, it has lost the support of the southern barbarians. What if?  As soon as Wen Bufan's reinforcements arrived, they were bound to counterattack with overwhelming force. Forced by the current situation, Zhuge Kongming had no choice but to take risks and take advantage of the situation.

    What's more, Zhuge Kongming had predicted that if Chang'an fell and the Western Tang Dynasty was in chaos, your majesty would never miss this great opportunity and would definitely send troops in.  Zhuge Kongming can immediately launch a desperate counterattack and take advantage of the chaos to seize the lands of Xiliang, Dongchuan, and Yongzhou. If everything goes as expected, Shu will not only avoid the disaster of annihilation, but will also be able to breathe and increase its national power.  Although this move is dangerous, it has great benefits. How could Zhuge Kongming not fight to the death?  "

    Sima Yi was talking eloquently, as if he was exuding a light of wisdom and wisdom. All the civil and military officials in the palace were dumbfounded and shocked.  Guo Jia's expression also changed, and he suddenly sighed.

    "Zhongda's intelligence is as high as the brightness of the bright moon. Jiashi is not as good as it is."

    When Sima Yi heard this, he suddenly became panicked and quickly bowed.

    "Zhenhou is a genius in this world, and his intelligence is unparalleled in the world. How can someone dare to compare with Zhenhou? It is really a disgrace to someone."

    Sima Yi¡¯s face was full of panic, and he didn¡¯t have half of the strategizing demeanor of Shicai.  Seeing this, all the civil and military officials in your highness laughed secretly again, having already forgotten Sima Yi's majesty just now.  However, Cao Cao was not like this. His eyes were as narrow as a thin line, fierce and majestic, and he stared at Sima Yi closely.  The more Sima Yi behaved, the more cautious Cao Cao became about him.  However, it seems that Sima Yi did nothing wrong and was loyal.  Cao Cao slowly looked away, suddenly covered his hands and laughed.

    "Haha. Zhongda must not belittle oneself. Filial piety and uprightness never lie. I have benefited a lot from your wise words, so I will do as you say!"

    Cao Cao suddenly made a decision, and His Highness and his ministers did not react for a moment.  Therefore, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Zha to go to the boundary between Hanoi and Hedong to secretly mobilize troops and horses, and at the same time he also ordered people to go to Yongzhou to inquire. Once Chang'an was lost, he immediately expected a large-scale march to Hanoi and Hedong.

    Since Cao Cao ascended the throne, he implemented reforms and established new ones, recruiting people from poor families on a large scale, vigorously promoting the policy of farming in various places, and allocating land according to population.  The Central Plains has a new atmosphere and is prospering day by day.  The people of the Central Plains seemed to have regarded Cao Cao as an emperor for a long time. Since Cao Cao came to the throne, the people not only had no resentment, but cheered.  bijing For the people of the Central Plains, in the past few decades, the Han Dynasty has been incompetent and brought endless disasters and wars.  But what Cao Cao brought was a country where people in the world could live and work in peace and contentment without suffering famine or war.  Cao Cao has achieved all the popularity among the people, and now he ascends to the throne of emperor, replacing the Han Dynasty. It is a matter of course.

    ?? Let¡¯s say that Queen Bian had four sons, namely Pi, Zhang, Zhi, and Xiong.  Cao Cao has always preferred his third son, Cao Zhi.  But he said that Cao Zhi

    He is extremely intelligent, has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and is good at writing and poetry.  Cao Cao intends to let Cao Zhi take over the throne one day.  But Cao Pi was decisive, quick in talent and learning, and acted in the style of Cao Cao back then. Moreover, he was the eldest son of Queen Bian.  Cao Cao also loved him very much.  Therefore, Cao Cao was very distressed about the inheritance.  One day, Cao Cao wanted to test the talents of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, so as not to be noticed by the two sons and oppose each other, but he taught Cao Zhang and Cao Xiong to come together.  When the four sons arrived together, Cao Cao ordered each of them to go out of the city gate, but secretly sent someone to pay the gate officials and ordered them not to let them out.

    The four sons took the order and went together, and said that Cao PiHe went to the north gate first, but was blocked by the gatekeepers. Cao Pi secretly thought that this decision was intentional because his father, the king, had informed him earlier.  Cao Pi thought to himself that Cao Cao always hated those who were rebellious and disobeyed the law, so he resigned and returned.  Then Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong came to the east gate and west gate respectively, but the gate officials also blocked them.  Cao Xiong has always been inflexible in his actions, so he retreated as a last resort.  The same is true for Cao Zhi.  Only Cao Zhang rushed to the south gate, but the gate officials stopped him.  Cao Zhang glared like a tiger, and shouted sternly.

    "I am under the command of the king, whoever dares to stop me will be killed immediately!!"

    Although the gatekeepers were frightened when they heard this, they did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's previous orders and teach the sergeants to intercept.  Cao Zhang suddenly rushed forward, grabbed two spears with both hands, swiped left and slashed right, and there was a conflict that caused the man to fall on his back.  Cao Zhang rushed in, glared fiercely, and roared hysterically.

    ¡°I have the emperor¡¯s holy order, so why don¡¯t you open the door quickly!!¡±

    When all the soldiers heard this, they all changed their minds and quickly opened the city gate.  Cao Zhang rode out.  But he said that Cao Cao was waiting in the palace for the officials to report back, and heard that Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong had all returned.  Only Cao Zhang made a scene and broke out of the house.  When Cao Cao heard this, he was surprised and laughed heartily.

    "Hahaha!! I forgot about this Huang Xuer!!"

    So Cao Cao also wanted to establish himself with Cao Zhang. From then on, Cao Cao summoned Cao Zhang every day to personally inquire about military and state affairs.  Cao Zhang answered one by one. If there was something wrong, Cao Cao taught him carefully.  However, Cao Zhang sometimes refused to give in on certain things and argued with Cao Cao.  The father and son would quarrel from time to time, and then soon, they heard Cao Cao laughing loudly again.  Cao Pi and Cao Zhi heard that Cao Zhang was often summoned to the palace by Cao Cao recently, so they secretly sent him to investigate. After hearing Cao Cao's daily teachings, both of them were very anxious.

    One day, Cao Zhang just came out of the palace and met Cao Pi.  Cao Pi pulled Cao Zhang to one side and asked him with a serious look.

    "Does Brother Zhang have the intention to compete with his brother for the throne?"

    When Cao Zhang heard this, his expression changed drastically and he shook his head.

    "Why did Brother Wang say this!? How could Brother Wang not know what my heart is like?"

    Cao Pi felt relieved when he saw that Cao Zhang was not hypocritical, so he invited Cao Zhang to have a banquet in his mansion.  The next day, Cao Zhang met his younger brother Cao Zhi again.  Cao Zhi also came to test.  Cao Zhang was quick-thinking and could tell Cao Zhi's intention at a glance, and told him that he had no intention of competing for the throne.  Cao Zhi was very happy. After that, he often invited Cao Zhang to talk all night long.  Cao Pi also wanted to curry favor with Cao Zhang and often entertained Cao Zhang for banquets.  Cao Zhang was extremely unhappy about entrusting the two of them to the virtual snake, but he could not refuse the two of them openly, so he was depressed all day long.

    One day, Cao Cao saw Cao Zhang frowning deeply, so he asked him.  Cao Zhang then informed Cao Pi and Cao Zhi about the incident.  When Cao Cao heard this, his face suddenly changed, his eyes shone, and he said to Cao Zhang.

    "You are my descendant. If one day, the great responsibility of the country is entrusted to you, it will not be impossible!"

    When Cao Zhang heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he knelt down and said to Cao Cao anxiously.

    "Father, you must not do this!! If this is the case, the country will be in great disaster!!"

    When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned dark and unhappy, and he asked coldly.

    "How can Ziwen say this!?"

    "Did my father forget that the Yuan family in Hebei was fighting with his heirs in the past, which led to the disaster of annihilation!? Brother Cao Pi is sincere and respectful, and he can continue his great cause.
