Sima Yi claimed that he had a plan to kill Yuan Fang.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the entire hall immediately mutinied and raised their heads one after another, staring at Sima Yi with a surprised but suspicious look.
¡°Obviously, many of the people present had doubts about Sima Yi¡¯s confidence.
Cao Cao also suddenly raised his head and glanced at Sima Yi with a doubtful look. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, but he could not suppress the distrust.
After all, Sima Yi had repeatedly suggested strategies to defeat Yuan Fang, but Yuan Fang saw them through many times, causing him to suffer defeat.
After several setbacks, how could Cao Cao not doubt not only Pang Tong but also Sima Yi's resourcefulness.
Sima Yi smiled faintly, raised his head and said: "Yi's previous strategies have indeed failed many times. It is reasonable for the lord to have doubts about Yi, but Yi can guarantee that my strategy this time will definitely kill that man." Thief Yuan, avenge your lord."
Cao Cao's heart pounded, and the distrust he had in his heart was instantly shattered by Sima Yi's confident and generous words.
After staring at Sima Yi for a moment, Cao Cao forced down the suspicion on his face and asked: "Zhongda, what is your plan? You might as well tell it first."
"Ahem, that's it. Fucheng is difficult anyway"
Sima Yi then pushed the wheelchair to the center of the hall, facing the three coffins, calmly and eloquently explained his strategy and excuses.
All the generals in the hall listened with strange expressions on their faces and nodded secretly.
Cao Cao¡¯s frown gradually relaxed.
Even Pang Tong had a strange look in his eyes, as if he was surprised by Sima Yi's cleverness of this plan.
After the strategy was explained, everyone in the lobby suddenly started talking, and the sad and heavy atmosphere seemed to have suddenly passed. Much relieved.
Cao Cao held his injured leg, and with Dian Wei's help, he returned to his seat and sat down. He rested his forehead on his hand, thinking and weighing Sima Yi's strategy.
At this time, Pang Tong was silent for a long time. He couldn't help but said: "Although Zhongda's plan is clever, if he cannot kill Yuan Fang, he will give away a strategic location like Fucheng. By then, our army will be in an even more unfavorable situation."
"I have the Sword Master Wang Yue and the entire remnant organization coming out. As long as that thief Yuan is fooled, I am determined to kill him!"
Sima Yi shouted sternly, and he was decisive, and he had the confidence to do so, which was obvious in the daytime.
That confident aura. It actually overpowered Pang Tong's self-confidence, making him dare not question it any more.
Just when Pang Tong was still doubtful, Sima Yi sneered at him again and asked: "Shi Yuan's military advisor is known as Feng Chu and is very resourceful. I would like to ask, since you are opposed to my strategy. Is there a better way?" Kill the Yuan thief and reverse our army's unfavorable situation? "
"Of course I'm not against it, I'm just"
"enough!"
Cao Cao suddenly slammed the case and stopped Pang Tong's defense with one sentence.
Seeing Cao Cao staring at him with a sullen look on his face, Pang Tong trembled. He had no choice but to close his mouth and retreat silently.
Cao Cao looked directly at Sima Yi, took a deep breath, and said resolutely: "Zhongda. You are right. At this point, how can we turn things around without a surprising plan? I have made up my mind, so I will use your plan. This time, I will definitely win." We must kill that thief Yuan!¡±
"My lord is wise, please believe me. This time, even if there is God's blessing, that thief Yuan will not be able to escape." Sima Yi cupped his hand and sneered.
The decision was made, and Cao Cao did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered the plan to be followed.
¡¡
A few days later, north of Fucheng.
The battle flags are billowing like waves, and the swords and halberds are as thick as a forest. The reflected cold light almost chills the sky.
The royal flag of Da Qi was flying proudly in the sky, leading thousands of troops and horses to march south along the avenue.
Yuan Fang is sitting on a red rabbit on his hip, wearing silver armor, dragging Fang Tian's painted halberd diagonally, marching at the front of the team under the gaze of everyone.
Looking back, I saw the long snake-like team stretching to the end of the sky, but there was still no trace.
200,000 Qi soldiers came out of Jianmen and rushed southward with great momentum. The first target Yuan Fang wanted to capture was the important town of Fucheng.
While Yuan Fang was thinking about the time to break the city, a group of scouts galloped from the south and headed towards the front.
"Your Majesty, the latest news has come from Fucheng. Forty thousand Cao Cao's troops have abandoned Fucheng and fled to Luocheng."
Cao Cao abandoned the city and fled without fighting?
Hearing this unexpected information, all the generals were shocked.Apart from that, everyone was delighted and encouraged.
"Cao Cao must be afraid of the power of the king and dare not fight again, so he had to abandon the city and flee. Congratulations to the king for winning Fucheng without fighting." Ma Yunlu, who was beside him, smiled and said to Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang did not show much excitement. On the contrary, a trace of suspicion appeared on his heroic face.
The core of Yizhou lies in Chengdu. If Chengdu is lost, it will mean the loss of the entire Yizhou.
In addition to Jianmen, there are three important towns on the way south, Zitong, Fucheng and Luocheng, which can defend Chengdu.
Among them, Zitong city is small and the terrain is relatively flat, which is not conducive to holding on. Cao Cao does not have many soldiers and horses, so it is reasonable to abandon Zitong.
However, the front line of Fucheng is in a dangerous terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the most important town in defending Chengdu after Jianmen Pass.
If Cao Cao wants to defend Chengdu and Yizhou, he should choose to station his troops in Fucheng instead of abandoning Fucheng and retreating to Luocheng, which is not too strong.
On the other hand, if Cao Cao no longer intends to take Yizhou, he should lead his entire army to withdraw to Jingzhou and take away the population of Shuzhong, instead of retreating to the front line of Luoxian County to build fortifications.
"Cao Cao, your behavior is indeed a bit abnormal. What kind of conspiracy did Pang Tong and Sima Yi create for you"
Yuan Fang was suspicious and guessing, but for a while, he couldn't figure out Cao Cao's intention, so he had to lead the front army to Fucheng first.
No matter what Cao Cao¡¯s plot is, he can¡¯t stop Yuan Fang from going south. Since he has abandoned Fucheng, Yuan Fang must capture it first no matter what.
In the evening of that day, Yuan Fang led nearly 5,000 Chinese forwards to the front line of Fucheng.
Arriving at Fucheng, Yuan Fang was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he sent several teams of scouts to enter the city first to detect whether Cao Cao had laid an ambush in the city.
More than an hour later, scouts from various teams came to report back, saying that Cao Jun in the city was indeed empty. Except for thousands of households, not a single soldier of Cao Jun was seen.
Yuan Fang felt relieved and led his army into the city, officially occupying Fucheng.
On that day, the battle flag of Da Qi was flying high over this important town. In order not to disturb the people, Yuan Fang stationed more than 40,000 troops outside the city and only led 10,000 troops in the city.
At the same time, Yuan Fang sent another order, ordering the following hundreds of thousands of troops to rush to Fucheng as soon as possible to meet up.
¡¡
At night, the lanterns are hung high.
In the lobby that originally belonged to Cao Cao, Yuan Fangzheng stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map hanging on the wall, wondering what conspiracy Cao Cao was playing.
"Your Majesty, it's so late, are you still awake?" Ma Yunlu's skylark-like voice came from behind.
Yuan Fang pulled away from his thoughts and looked back, only to see Ma Yunlu entering the upper hall with a smile on his face, holding a large plate of wine and food in his hand.
"I'm not too sleepy yet, so I'm not in a hurry to rest. Yunlu, what are you" Yuan Fang looked at the wine in her hand with a suspicious look on his face.
Ma Yunlu had put down the food and wine, stepped forward and pulled Yuan Fang to sit down, and said with a smile: "I knew the king couldn't sleep. Going to Fucheng without a fight was an unexpected surprise. Of course the king would be so happy that he fell asleep." No, Yunlu is not the same, so I specially prepared some small drinks and dishes, and drank a few drinks with the king, which can be regarded as a small celebration. "
¡°That¡¯s it,¡± Yuan Fang shook his head and smiled.
Ma Yunlu thought he was going to Fucheng without a fight, and was so happy that she couldn't sleep. Little did she know that it was precisely because she had gained this important town without a fight that she had difficulty falling asleep because of her doubts and confusion.
Even so, seeing that Ma Yunlu was in a good mood, Yuan Fang couldn't help but express her feelings, so he didn't point it out and simply put his thoughts aside and had a good drink with Ma Yunlu.
It's late at night, with the moon above my brow, it's a pleasure to drink with this beauty.
Soon, Yuan Fang temporarily put all the suspicious things in his mind aside and just drank happily with her.
Ma Yunlu is indeed a woman from Xiliang. She has a strong personality and an amazing capacity for drinking. She drank several jars of good wine before she started to get drunk.
No matter how good she is at drinking, she can't be better than Yuan Fang, a biological body with the ability to automatically relieve hangovers.
After several jars of good wine, Yuan Fang drank happily, but he didn't feel drunk at all.
Seeing that Ma Yunlu was drunk and hazy, Yuan Fang smiled bitterly and had no choice but to put down the wine, helped Ma Yunlu up, and sent her back to her room to rest.
Holding this drunken and fragrant body into the room, Yuan Fang gently placed her on the couch, but saw that the beauty in front of him was so drunk that her face was full of peach blossoms. Her whole body was soft and boneless, and she was lying so softly. There.
Yuan Fang's heart suddenly moved, he couldn't help but lowered his voice.He came up and kissed Ma Yunlu gently on his forehead.
Ma Yunlu, who was half drunk, seemed to be able to feel something. His body trembled slightly and his breathing suddenly intensified.
But Yuan Fang took a deep breath, covered her with a quilt, turned around and walked out of her room, closing the door behind her.
Hearing the door close, Ma Yunlu opened his eyes, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
She sighed softly, pouted her lips, and sighed quietly: "I left like this. Fortunately, I deliberately pretended to be drunk and threw myself into my arms. I don't know whether I should say that you don't understand the style, or I should praise you for being upright. Where is the gentleman, alas~~"
When Ma Yunlu complained quietly, Yuan Fang had already returned to the lobby.
It's not that he doesn't understand the style, but because he has been thinking about Cao Cao's tricks in his heart, and he has some concerns and no interest.
"Cao Cao, what conspiracy are you brewing?"
With this doubt in mind, Yuan Fang thought for a long time. Unknowingly, he rested his forehead on his hand and fell asleep quietly.
¡¡
South of Fucheng, in the dark night, a gloomy sneer flashed in a pair of eyes burning with the flames of revenge.
