    The rising sun scatters soft light and spreads warmth to the earth.  In Xuchang City, illuminated by the morning sun, the flow of people on the streets began to bustle.  It's just that the people in Xuchang did not start busy for the day's livelihood as in the past. Instead, they gathered in groups, looking at the notices posted everywhere in the streets and alleys, and discussing in low voices.  On one of the busiest streets in Xuchang, where the largest number of people gathered, a young man in his early twenties, as if to show others that he was a well-educated man, read the notice aloud: "Wei  Sima Yi, General of the Hussars, would like to declare to the world with sincerity: The great ancestor killed the White Snake in the past and established a four-hundred-year-old legacy that has been passed down to this day. Unfortunately, due to the combination of treachery and slander, the current King of Wei, Cao Cao, has no moral character and presumes to be respected.  , despite the difficulties of Taizu's founding, fortunately, the regent swept through Bahuang Liuhe, turned the tide, and continued the blood of the Han people. This achievement is a blessing for heaven and earth to celebrate. I now follow the will of heaven and raise the army to march north.  Yanjing has returned to the rule of the Han Dynasty to comfort the people. Those who wish to join me in the grand event can come to the border of Jizhou as soon as possible on the first day of the next month!" Needless to say, these posts are self-defeating.  The notices placed in conspicuous places must have been made by the shadow members lurking in Xuchang City. A counter-insurgency plan against Sima Yi had officially begun.  The young man had just read the contents of the notice, and before he could receive the respect of being regarded as a cultured man, a rough palm pressed on his mouth.  A burly man in his thirties, dressed as a farmer, appeared behind the young man, forcefully pulled the young man out of the crowd, and walked quickly towards a secluded place.  It wasn't until he had walked hundreds of steps that the young man broke free from the big man's hand. He looked at the big man angrily and said, "I said Brother Li, why are you pulling me? I have finally been so powerful, and I haven't passed it yet."  It's quite addictive." The strong man known as Brother Li quickly raised a thick finger and put it on his thick lips.  He made a silent gesture to the young man, then turned his head and looked around a few times. After making sure that no one else was nearby, he lowered his voice and said, "You are still impressive. If I don't pull you away, you will die."  I don¡¯t even know how it happened! Can you just read what¡¯s on that notice? One is the Hussar general who is stationed at the border of Jizhou, and the other is the current high-ranking King of Wei.  Is it something you, a young boy, can say at will? Sima Yi is obviously trying to turn against the Wei Dynasty and turn to the Northern Han Dynasty. What you just read in the notice will be very embarrassing if it is heard by the patrolling Wei soldiers.  Not even one head is enough to chop off!¡± After hearing Brother Li¡¯s words, the young man suddenly came to his senses, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back. He stretched out his hand to cover his mouth in fear, and did not move away for a long time However,  , if you say it out, you will throw out the water.  The contents of the notice quickly spread throughout Xuchang City. Like a super infectious plague, it reached the ears of the Wei soldiers who were responsible for patrolling the city in the shortest possible time, and then quickly reached Cao Cao.  Here, a torn-off notice appeared intact on Cao Cao's desk.  Cao Cao looked gloomily and read the contents of the notice.  Then he threw the notice on the ground without saying a word, but his heart was already full of anger.  Sima Yi has the talent of being a hawk and a wolf. This is something that Cao Cao has long seen. He clearly knew that Sima Yi would not be willing to be inferior to others for a long time, but he did not expect that Sima Yi would play a cruel trick on him at this time!  The counselor Cheng Yu picked up the notice from the ground.  He read it aloud in a low voice and informed the other civil and military ministers of the contents of the notice. Then he put away the notice and solemnly said: "King Wei. Although Sima Zhongda has always been ambitious, he deeply feels the kindness of King Wei."  , When fighting the Han army on the front line, I never slacked off. I asked the King of Wei to investigate it carefully and not to wrongly accuse a good person. " Cao Ren, who lost an arm, immediately stood up and said: "Otherwise, I thought it was because of Sima Yi.  He was defeated repeatedly at the hands of Zhuge Liang, so he was frightened. He also received news that the Northern Han Dynasty had established five armies to besiege our country in the Central Plains, so he had the desire to defect to the Northern Han Dynasty. With Sima Zhongda's cunning nature,  It¡¯s not surprising to do something like this!¡± After Cao Ren had his arm cut off by Ao Lie, his resentment towards Ao Lie reached an all-out level. Anyone who could have anything to do with Ao Lie would be killed by Cao Ren.  As an enemy, not to mention the rise of Sima Yi, Cao Ren, who was missing an arm, lost the command of the frontline combat troops, so it is not surprising that his tone was obviously slanderous.  After Cao Ren expressed his opinion, counselor Xun You stood up and said to Cao Cao: "King Wei, the truth of the matter has not yet been determined. If we rush to conquer Sima Yi, we will force him to rebel. In my opinion, this matter may not be true.  What Sima Zhongda did might be a reflection of the careful work of the Northern Han Dynasty.This plan is intended to cause my monarch and his ministers to be in chaos.  Ao Lie can then take advantage of the situation and make our country's situation more passive.  "  Why do we need to investigate in detail?  This person knows strategy well, is good at military planning, and has great ambitions.  If it is not removed early, it will cause trouble later!  " Cao Cao quietly listened to the arguments among his men on the throne. After the initial rage, Cao Cao has calmed down a lot. To be honest, he didn't quite believe that Sima Yi would choose to rebel against Wei at this time, because Cao Cao knew  , Sima Yi has an indescribable pride in his chest. This pride is as big as his ambition, which makes Sima Yi never fall to Ao Lie's side so easily. And as the saying goes, it is easy to give trouble in the snow, but it is difficult to add icing on the cake.  If he had transferred to the Northern Han Dynasty when the morale was high, I am afraid that he would not be reused by Ao Lie. It would be better to continue to serve in the Wei Dynasty. If he can make some achievements in the battle to save the Wei Dynasty, his status will definitely skyrocket.  , and truly entered the core leadership of the Wei Dynasty. But on the other hand, Cao Cao was too afraid of Sima Yi's hawkish attitude. He wanted to use his ability to resist the Northern Han Dynasty, but he did not want to give it to him.  He had too much power and his contradictory thoughts made it difficult for Cao Cao to make a decision in his heart. Whether to believe or not to believe Sima Yi. General Li Jin saw a very rare look of hesitation on Cao Cao's face.  Taking a step forward, Hong said: "Report to the King of Wei.  As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire. The King of Wei can follow the plan of the great ancestor Liu Bang in the past and go to the border of Jizhou to inspect it personally. Sima Yi will definitely react, or lead an army to come, which will be detrimental to the King of Wei;  Either lead an honor guard to welcome King Wei.  At that time, what exactly was Sima Yi thinking?  It¡¯s clear at a glance.  " Cao Cao thought about it again and again, and finally decided to adopt Li Jin's advice and go to the border of Jizhou to inspect it personally. With Li Jin and Yue Xi, two tiger generals with ten thousand enemies, plus the 50,000 elite accompanying them,  Even if Sima Yi really did something wrong, he was able to escape calmly. It only took three days for Cao Cao to complete the decision, which shows that he was really anxious to find out what Sima Yi really thought.  Near the border of Jizhou, Sima Yi controlled 150,000 Wei soldiers. For the current Wei state, this was a military force that could not be lost. Cao Cao would never be willing to let these 150,000 troops defect to Ao Lie's side.  Fifteen days later, Cao Cao took the two tiger generals Li Jin and Yue Xi, as well as Cao Ren and other close officials, and led an army of 50,000 to the northernmost part of Yanzhou, where it bordered Jizhou in the Northern Han Dynasty, where Sima Yi was stationed.  The army's camp was only twenty miles away. It was only at this time that Cao Cao ordered people to inform Sima Yi of his arrival. When Cao Cao sent an envoy to Sima Yi's camp to tell him that he had arrived.  Sima Yi wanted to show off his military management skills in front of Cao Cao and win Cao Cao's praise and further trust. He quickly sent orders to the camp to select 50,000 strong soldiers and put them on brand new armor and fully armed.  When Sima Yi led the army to the horizon, Cao Ren was the first to say angrily: "King Wei!  Look, Sima Yi didn't send an honor guard to greet the King of Wei. He was clearly here to show off his power!  Please give the order to King Wei.  I am willing to lead my troops to attack, cut off Sima Yi's head and send it to King Wei's horse!  " Cheng Yu and Xun You spoke out to dissuade him at the same time: "General, please don't be impulsive. Our army should form a battle formation to see what happens. If Sima Yi really intends to do evil, then he can be killed.  " Cao Cao nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Zhongde (Cheng Yu's nickname) and Gongda (Xun You's nickname) are right. Sima Yi is extremely talented. If he can be loyal to the emperor and the country, it will be a great thing for our great Wei Dynasty.  Fortunately; but if he dares to have any different intentions, huh, today will be his death anniversary next year!  Li Jin, order the formation!  " When Cao Cao saw Sima Yi's queue, Sima Yi also saw Cao Cao's carriage. Just as he was about to rein in his horse, dismount and walk to show his respect for Cao Cao, the deputy general Wang Shuang who was following him suddenly said: "  General, the King of Wei has always liked people who admire martial arts. General, why don't you show your martial courage in front of the King of Wei?  Maybe the King of Wei will look at the general differently because of this, and the general's situation will be much better.  " Sima Yi listened to Wang Shuang's words and thought for a moment, thinking that what he said made sense. It's no secret that Cao Cao likes brave men with upright tempers. The former Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and now Li Jin and Yue Xi  , are good examples. Firstly, these people can protect Cao Cao's personal safety, and secondly, they can be easily manipulated by Cao Cao, and there will be no unexpected changes. In fact, Sima Yi is not someone who easily believes in people's words, but his deputy general Wang.  Shuang had been by his side eight years ago.He still had a life-saving grace for him. Later, Sima Yi took a fancy to Wang Shuang's bravery and specially invited a famous teacher to teach Wang Shuang's martial arts, which made Wang Shuang's martial arts make great progress. A meteor hammer made Wang Shuang's martial arts better.  Superb.  In the days when he was with him, Wang Shuang fought first in every battle. He had no idea how much blood he had shed, how many injuries he had suffered, and how many great contributions he had made. Therefore, Wang Shuang was Sima Yi's most trusted person in the army. His words,  He had considerable influence on Sima Yi.  Turning to Wang Shuang and smiling, Sima Yi said: "Your suggestion is good, I can give it a try. If this can dispel some of King Wei's doubts about me, I can concentrate on dealing with Fang Geliang in the future, and there will no longer be any constraints."  "After receiving Sima Yi's affirmative reply, Wang Shuang immediately raised the hammer handle in his hand and shouted to the 50,000 troops behind him: "General Hussar has an order, form a formation!" The 50,000 strong soldiers shouted at Wang Shuang's order.  Next, they walked in an orderly manner, and soon formed a yoke formation that was good at attacking. Three columns and two columns were staggered together. They raised their weapons high, and then walked firmly towards where Cao Cao was.  Position advance!  Seeing that Sima Yi's subordinates actually listed the balancing formation, Cao Cao's face immediately darkened, and he said to Xiahou Dun with a livid face: "Ask Sima Yi, what on earth is he doing?!" Xiahou Dun did not dare to neglect and left immediately.  In the main formation of our army, a man rode alone to a place thirty steps in front of the formation and shouted to Sima Yi: "Sima Zhongda! The King of Wei is here in person. Why did you set up a battle formation instead of dismounting and walking?" Sima Yi  Because he had been stationed here for a long time, he knew nothing about the rumors in Xuchang City. After hearing Xiahou Dun's question, he raised his voice and said: "Sima Yi is in military uniform, so I can't salute the King of Wei." In the Han Dynasty, he went on a military expedition.  A general on a mission can salute his superiors without dismounting. Fundamentally speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Sima Yi did. However, what he did at this moment, in Cao Cao's eyes, completely changed his taste, unlike Sima Yi's.  The original intention turned into two completely different directions.  Cao Cao, who was in the center of the formation, had endless viciousness in his eyes. He slowly raised his right hand and said in a low voice: "The ambition of a wolf cannot be punished! Kill!" As he uttered the last word "kill", Cao Cao  The right hand raised in the air suddenly fell down, silently giving the order to attack Sima Yi's troops.  PS: PS: A large chapter of nearly 4,000 words is presented.
