Taking stock of the counselor rankings, Guo Jia only ranks at the bottom?

Sima Yi smiled and replied:

"I see, only smart people can correctly estimate each other's strength.

Abandoning the city in advance was not something Gongsun Yuan could do.

He will definitely think that our lonely expedition cannot last for a long time. He will first resist at Liao River and then retreat to Xiangping. This is both a middle and lower plan.

I can definitely defeat him. Emperor Wei Ming was overjoyed and asked:"

Sima Gong, how long will it take you to get there?"

Sima Yi said:"It takes a hundred days to go, a hundred days to return, a hundred days to attack, and sixty days to rest. One year is enough.""

Before leaving, relatives and friends sent Sima Yi off.

Sima Yi composed a song with emotion:"The sky and the earth are opening up, and the sun and the moon are shining brightly.

When encountering an encounter, you will work hard to achieve your goals.

I will clean up the filth and return to my hometown.

Clear away thousands of miles and clear up all the wastelands.

After the victory, he returned to his old age and waited for his sins to dance in the sun."

So later, the emperor Cao Rui gave way, and Sima Yi led Niu Jin, Hu Zun and others with 40,000 cavalry. They set out from the capital. The army passed through Guzhu and crossed Jieshi.

In June,

Sima Yi entered Liao River.

Gongsun Yuan was shocked. Unexpectedly, Sima Yi was so quick.

He urgently ordered the generals Bei Yan, Yang Zuo and others to lead tens of thousands of cavalry, encircle the Liao River for more than 20 miles, build strong walls and high bases, and block the Wei army.

Sima Yi did not panic.

He adopted the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. The plan was to first place multiple flags on the southern front, pretend to attack the siege, attract the enemy's main force, and then use the main force to cross the Liao River in concealment and force into the enemy's Xiangping headquarters. The generals would not understand the reason.

Above the screen ,

Sima Yi looked calm and explained to everyone.

He said:"This matter is simple. The enemy has set up a high base just because he wants us to exhaust our soldiers and food. If we attack the city, it will be his plan.

The ancients said that no matter how high the enemy's base is, if he has no choice but to fight us, we must attack him and save him.

Now their army is here, but their nest is empty.

I am pointing directly at Xiangping. The enemy will be afraid. If they are afraid, they will ask for battle. They will be defeated!!"

Then Sima Yi reorganized his formation and advanced to attack the enemy's Xiangping base camp.

The enemy had no choice but to come out to intercept.

Sima Yi was overjoyed and said to the generals:

"The reason why I did not attack his camp was because I wanted to wait for the current situation."

"If we attack the enemy directly now, the enemy will be defeated."

So he calmly commanded the Wei army to attack hard. He won all three battles, so he took advantage of the victory and entered Xiangping.

When Gongsun Yuan heard that the Wei army was attacking, he asked for help from Sun Quan.

Sun Quan also sent troops to support him and gave Gongsun Yuan wrote:

"Sima Yi is good at using troops and is indomitable. I am really worried about my brother."007

It happened that there was a continuous heavy rain, the Liao River surged, and the ground was several feet flat. The Wei army was frightened, and all the generals were worried and wanted to move the camp.

Sima Yi ordered that anyone who dared to move the camp be beheaded.

The governor Shi Zhangjing disobeyed the order and was beheaded. The army's morale began to feel at ease.

Gongsun Yuan's army took advantage of the rain to go out of the city, collect firewood and herd horses, and were at ease. General Wei asked to attack, but Sima Yi refused. Sima

Chen Gui asked Sima Yi doubtfully:"When we attacked Shangyong, we advanced in eight directions, day and night, so He was able to capture the fortified city and kill Meng Da in ten and a half days.

Why is the move slower this time after coming from a long distance? Sima Yi said calmly:"

It's simple. Back then, Mengda's army was small and the food could last for a year.

Our army was four times that of Mengda, but the food was less than one month.

How can we use an army with one month's food against an army with one year's food?" Can't we solve it quickly?

It is feasible to attack one with four, even if half of the people are injured or killed. The casualties were not counted at that time, just to buy time for the limited food and grass.

Now the enemy has more soldiers and we have fewer troops, the enemy has less food and we have more food, and there is heavy rain, so it is impossible to fight quickly.

From the time I sent out troops, I was not worried about the enemy attacking, but I was worried that they would run away.

Now the enemy's food and fodder are almost exhausted, and our army has not yet closed the siege.

If we plunder the cattle and horses now, they will be forced to flee.

Soldiers are crafty and good at changing circumstances.

With their large numbers and large floods, they refused to surrender even though they were hungry and trapped.

At this time, it is even more important to stabilize the opponent and not scare the enemy away for the sake of small gains."

Sima Yi followed his plan and deliberately showed weakness.

The court heard that Yu Da's enemy was strong, and many people asked for Sima Yi to be recalled. But

Emperor Wei Ming smiled and said:"Sima Yi has always made changes in times of crisis.

I think he has already made a plan. Capture Gongsun Yuan alive is just around the corner.."

More than a month later, the rain stopped and the water gradually receded.

The Wei army completed the siege of Xiangping and attacked day and night.

The food in the city was exhausted and there were many dead. Yang Zuo and others were surrendered.

In August,

Gongsun Yuan sent Prime Minister Wang Jian to ask for relief.

Sima Yi The envoy was beheaded and a proclamation was issued sternly.

Gongsun Yuan sent people again to ask for a date to deliver the hostages, but

Sima Yi refused.

Gongsun Yuan wanted to break out from the south of the city, but Sima Yi sent troops to defeat his army.

Gongsun Yuan was finally defeated at the hands of Sima Yi.

I was the same. He died in battle on the edge of Liangshui River.

After entering the city, Sima Yi ordered the massacre of more than 7,000 men over the age of 15, collected the corpses, and built a Jingguan.

Above the picture, the entire Xiangping City was filled with rivers of blood, and corpses and corpses were everywhere. bloody pool of blood

(ceff) looked miserable.

It also shocked everyone from all over the world.

Then he beheaded all the ministers and ministers appointed by Gongsun Yuan.

General Bi Sheng and more than 2,000 people were killed, and 40,000 households were settled.

Sima Yi released Gongsun Gong, who had been usurped by Gongsun Yuan.

He also ordered:"In ancient times, when conquering a country, only the stubborn and vicious people were killed.

Everyone who has been implicated by Gongsun Yuan will be forgiven.

The people of the Central Plains are willing to return to their hometown. Everyone in Sima Yi's army did as he wished."

At that time, some soldiers in Sima Yi's army were wearing cold clothes and requested to be given short coats. Sima Yi refused to give them.

In order to avoid being jealous because of his great achievements, he said that the clothes were official property and could not be distributed..

He later reported to the imperial court and released more than a thousand soldiers over the age of sixty from military service and sent them back to their hometowns.

Within the original one-year period, the victory class was achieved.

Emperor Wei Ming was overjoyed and sent an envoy to Ji to reward the troops and increase Sima Yi's army in Kunyang County, totaling two counties before and after.

Cao Wei's Liaodong issue for decades was finally solved by Sima Yi through violence.

Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely impressed.

"This Sima Yi is really powerful"

"It's just that this person's methods are too ruthless."

Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, couldn't help but have a complex expression when he saw this scene.

What he didn't expect was that his Gongsun family of Liaodong had been divided for three generations.

It had always been a strong army. In the end, it was defeated miserably. In Sima Yi's hands

"I didn’t expect that the three generations of Liaodong Gongsun’s separatist rule were already glorious enough!!"

"But after all, there is no way to escape the fate of defeat."

"But there is no shame in losing to this Sima Yi."

After that, the gold list screen continued.

Go, after Liaodong completely resolved the separatist regime.

Cao Rui was very happy.

Originally, the court asked Sima Yi to go to Zhenguanzhong.

But when he arrived at the White House, there was an edict calling him to return to the capital quickly.

Within three days , the fifth edict came.

Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui even wrote in his own handwriting:

"I took a breath and looked at it. When I arrived, I walked straight into the pavilion and looked at me."

Before, when Sima Yi was in Xiangping, he dreamed that Emperor Wei Ming was lying on his lap and said,"Zhongda, look at my face."

He looked down and saw a strange color on Emperor Wei Ming's face. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Now when he saw the words in the edict, Sima Yi became even more frightened, knowing that a big change might occur.

So he took a pursuit car and traveled day and night. From Baiwu to the capital, a distance of more than 400 miles, he actually arrived in one night.

After Sima Yi arrived, he went straight to the imperial bed in Jiafu Hall.

With tears in his eyes, he asked Emperor Wei Ming about Cao Rui's illness.[]

Emperor Wei Ming, Cao Rui, took his hand, looked at Prince Qi, and said:"I will trust you in the future.

Death can be tolerated again.

I will endure death for you, and I will see you again, and I will have no regrets."

That day, Emperor Wei Ming Cao Rui passed away.

It was the first month of the third year of Jingchu (239 years).

At that time, Cao Rui came to power in 226 and became the emperor of the Wei Dynasty.

In other words, even the young Cao Rui has only been in office for 13 years.

It can be considered that he died young.

Later, King Cao Fang of Qi succeeded to the throne at the age of eight.

Sima Yi and General Cao Shuang accepted the imperial edict to assist the young master.

When the King of Qi came to the throne,

Sima Yi was appointed as Shizhong, Chijie, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese and foreign armies, and Recorder of Secretariat.

He and Cao Shuang each commanded 3,000 elite troops, and together they were in charge of the government.

Cao Shuang wanted to squeeze out Sima Yi and wanted Shang Shuzhuo to approve him in advance so that he could monopolize power and advise the emperor to change Sima Yi to the position of Grand Sima.

The courtiers believed that many of the previous great ministers had died in office, which was unlucky, so they appointed Sima Yi as Taifu. He followed the example of Xiao He, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, who entered the palace without rushing, praised and worshiped without fame, and went to the palace with swords and shoes.

The eldest son, Sima Shi, is the regular servant of the cavalry, three of his sons are the lieutenants, and the four are the cavalry captains.

Sima Yi kept a low profile and vigorously refused to let his children become officials.

And saw the scenes on the screen.

Especially Cao Rui, Emperor Ming of Wei, died early in the 13th year of his reign.

Later, the little emperor Qi Wang Cao Fang, who was only 8 years old, ascended the throne.

At this moment, Sima Yi already had all the power in the government.

He even got the privilege of being a powerful minister who entered the palace without rushing, praised and worshiped without being named, and went to the palace with swords and shoes..

Everyone's expressions became increasingly weird.

Because they once again thought of the dream that Cao Cao had had before.

That extremely weird dream of three horses in the same tank!!

And the scenes on the screen seem to be changing in that direction,

"Lord, I feel like this is an ominous sign!!"

"Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui died early in the 13th year of his reign, and the previous Wei Wen Emperor Cao Pi only served as emperor for 6 years.

Why do I feel that this Cao family is cursed? Why are they all so short-lived?!"

"Could it be that it was retribution for usurping the imperial power of the Han Dynasty? ?"

"I thought again about Cao Cao's dream of three horses in the same trough before.

I felt butterflies in my heart. How do I feel that this dream is about to come true? ?"

"I think it's unlikely. After all, the Cao family has gone through three generations, and its prestige in the court is very terrifying. Moreover, Cao Rui also stayed with Cao Shuang to check and balance Sima Yi!!

Including some members of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, it would be so easy for Sima Yi to seize the throne!!"

Everyone kept talking.

In Chenliu County,

Cao Cao's face became more and more ugly.

After his son, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi died after only 6 years as emperor.

Emperor Ming of Wei Cao Rui died after only 13 years.

Cao Cao was naturally sad and worried in his heart. The young master suspected that this was undoubtedly not a good thing.

You must know how the Cao family usurped the Han Dynasty and seized the world from the Liu family.

It was not because of Liu Hong's early death. It's just that The two youngest sons Liu Bian and Liu Xie were left behind.

The young emperor was reduced to a puppet due to his incompetence.

But he did not expect that the cause back then would be the result today.

After this time, the same fate fell to Cao Cao. On top of the family.

It turned out that the Cao family also had two consecutive generations of emperors die early.

They encountered the same situation as the Liu family back then. The

8-year-old little emperor Cao Fang, King of Qi, ascended the throne as emperor.

The Wei Kingdom came to the edge of danger.

Cao Cao's face could not help but turn pale. I got up.

Especially after thinking about the weird dream of three horses in the same trough before.

My face turned pale.

"How could this be the case? If Pier dies early, forget it."

"Even Ruier, so young, died early. Not even any heirs were left behind."

(The little emperor Qi Wang Cao Fang is not Cao Rui’s biological son）

"Now that Sima Yi is in power, what if he wants to imitate me and seize the country? ?"

"Fortunately, Sima Yi is not young now, and there are other Tuogu ministers."

"I hope I can survive him to death!!"

Xia Houyuan and Xia Houdun on the side saw Cao Cao's worried look.

They were also quite heartbroken.

They quickly comforted and said:"There is no need to worry about Meng De."

"Cao Rui also left another Tuogu minister, Cao Shuang, and with the remaining power of the third generation of the Cao family, I don't think Sima Yi can succeed!!"

Amid Cao Cao's uneasiness, the scene is still going on. In

April of the second year of Zhengshi, shortly after the death of Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui, the young emperor ascended the throne.

Seeing this moment, the situation in Wei was a bit unstable.

Emperor Wu Sun Quan took the opportunity and began to divide his troops into four groups to attack Wei. Quan Cong led tens of thousands of troops out of Huainan, Zhuge Ke attacked Lu'an,

Zhu Ran attacked Fancheng, and General Zhuge Jin attacked Peizhong.

In May, Wu general Quan Cong invaded Shaopei, and

Zhu However, Sun Lun besieged Fancheng,

Zhuge Jin and Bu Zhao invaded and plundered Peizhong. Sima Yi requested to send troops to fight the Wu army.

The court officials believed that the enemy troops came from afar to attack the fortress, and they should wait for them to retreat.

Sima Yi thought otherwise and decided to send troops to attack in person.

June , Sima Yi led the army to reinforce.

He knew that the heat and humidity in the south meant that the army could not stay here for a long time, so he sent Qingqi to challenge first. Knowing Sima Yi's reputation, Zhu Ran did not dare to act rashly. So Sima Yi then rested his soldiers and selected the best. Recruiting warriors, issuing orders, and setting up an attack posture.

The Wu army was frightened and retreated overnight.

They were pursued by the Wei army at the junction of the three states (Jing, Yu, and Yang states).

The Wu army was defeated by Sima Yi and was annihilated. There were more than 10,000 men and a lot of losses in ships and materials.

The Wu army that attacked Lu'an and Pizhong also returned without success.

In July,

Cao Fang and the Queen Mother were naturally overjoyed when they heard about this.

They added Sima Yi to Shiyun and Linying. Four counties, thousands of households living in the city, and

11 of his children are all marquises.

Sima Yi's merits and virtues are becoming more and more prosperous, but he is more humble.

In the spring of the third year of Zhengshi,

Emperor Wei pursued the posthumous title of Sima Yi's father, Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang, as Wuyang Chenghou.

In March, Sima Yi again reported to build the Guangcao Canal, diverting the river into Bian, dredging the large lakes in the southeast, and establishing large-scale farming in Huaibei.

The state of Wu sent Zhuge Ke to garrison Wancheng, and the people around him felt it was hard.

Sima Yi wanted to lead his troops. After attacking, the court officials thought that Zhuge Ke occupied a fortified city with ample grain and grain, and that he could attack far away alone

, so reinforcements would surely arrive. However, Sima Yi confirmed that the Wu army was good at water warfare, not land warfare.

The lake was shallow in winter and boats could not move, so reinforcements would have to arrive. It was easy to abandon the ship and rescue the enemy on land, so it was easy to defeat the enemy on land. In the fourth year of the first year of the Zhengshi Period,

Sima Yi led the army and the emperor drove him out of Jinyang Gate.

When the army arrived at Shucheng, Zhuge Ke burned the grain and abandoned the city. Let's go.

Sima Yi inspected the Huaibei farming area again and promoted Deng Ai, a farmer's boy, to take charge of the farming.

In the spring of the fifth year of the first year,

General Cao Shuang wanted to establish his reputation and wanted to find the Shu Kingdom to attack.

He wanted to attack the Shu Han!.
