Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 875

But unexpectedly, Liu Bei gave him a cold look and said something that made him very sad.

"Gongtai, you are old! Your thinking is too old-fashioned. In Cao Ying's setbacks, you have lost the radical courage of the past!"

"I think there is nothing wrong with what Zhongda said. If you don't work hard, how do you know how much potential you have?"

"You are also tired recently, I allow you to rest more, this duty of sacrificial wine... Let Zhong Da take over for a while for a while! What do you think?"

Chapter 994 Attacking Hanzhong, Sima Yi's self-confidence

Hearing Liu Bei's heartless words, Chen Gong's eyes widened in disbelief.

The whole person staggered back, if Zhuge Liang hadn't supported him, he might have fallen to the ground.

No matter how Chen Gong thought about it, he never expected that Liu Bei would treat him like this!

Chen Gong was crying in his heart: "It's really a new generation replacing the old one!"You called me Laogong back then, but now they tell me to be laid off! '

'This is a fucking scumbag!Fortunately, I have always regarded you as a treasure in my heart! '

Chen Gong stabilized his figure, as if he didn't hear clearly just now, he raised his head to look at Liu Bei again, and asked pretending not to understand.

"My lord, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Bei sighed deeply, patted Chen Gong on the shoulder, and sighed.

"Gongtai, I know you're doing it for my own good. What you said is steady and steady is a good strategy, but...it takes too long and I can't afford it!"

"Cao Ying's hand has not yet reached out yet. If I follow Zhongda's suggestion, as long as I am fast enough, I can take Liangzhou and Yongzhou immediately."

"That is the land of two states! What a huge force, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, thousands of civil and military generals, even if Cao Cao comes, we will be able to come down!"

"So...you don't need to persuade me any more! You should have a good rest these days, come here, and take the office down!"

Seeing that Chen Gong still wanted to persuade him, Liu Bei quickly waved his hand and asked Guan Yu to take Chen Gong away.

After finally suppressing the generals' opposition to the Northern Expedition, he didn't want Chen Gong to interfere.

Guan Yu cupped his hands slightly: "Gongtai, big brother has big brother's ideas, you can leave with Guan first, don't annoy big brother."

Chen Gong was in a hurry: "Yun Chang, wait a minute, let someone give some advice!"

Before he could speak, Liu Bei completely lost his patience and roared.

"Take it off!"

Guan Yu let out a long sigh, carried Chen Gong on his shoulders and walked towards the city pass.

Chen Gong shouted anxiously: "My lord! Think twice! The Northern Expedition really won't work, don't listen to villains' slander! Pro-virtuous ministers and villains are the right way!"

"Liangzi, Liangzi, please persuade the lord, the Northern Expedition will only consume the power we have in Western Shu, and will only aggravate our defeat!"

Guan Yu accelerated and jumped off the Chengguan with Chen Gong.

Chen Gong's voice also gradually disappeared from everyone's ears. Listening to his words, Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan calmly and remained silent.

He looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he didn't care whether Liu Bei was on the Northern Expedition.

He only cares... when Cao Ying will come over.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang meaningfully: "Sir, which of Zhongda's and Gongtai's advice do you think is reliable?"

Kong Ming cupped his hands slightly, and smiled with a very low posture: "Since the lord has made a decision in his heart, why do you need to ask again?"

"No matter what the lord does, Liang will fully support him. Liang...is just a counselor who solves the lord's problems."

Liu Bei nodded in satisfaction with Zhuge Liang's answer.

"Okay! So... according to what Zhong Da said, let's send troops to the Northern Expedition! Starting today, Zhong Da will take over the position of offering sacrifices to Gongtai and be responsible for controlling the army."

"Kong Ming, you are still in charge of the logistics! Now that I, Liu Bei, have the two great talents of Wolong and Zhonghu, why worry about the uncertainty of Liangzhou and Yongzhou? Why are you afraid of that Cao thief?"

Liu Bei waved his hand vigorously. Although Xishu is fertile, it can't restrain his ambition.

Sima Yi bowed his hands and took the order: "Thank you for your trust, my lord, and my subordinates will do my best to help you! Let Cao Ying know how good we are!"

Liu Bei laughed a few times, got up again and poured a glass of wine for the other party.

Then he asked with a smile, "Zhongda, do you have a detailed plan for the Northern Expedition?"

Sima Yi nodded with Zhizhu in his hand, and unceremoniously picked up the wine glass and drank it.

After drinking, he smacked his lips and said proudly, "Of course! As long as the lord is willing to trust me, Sima Yi, then the subordinate promises that the lord will easily take over Yongzhou and Liangzhou."

Liu Bei was in awe, and clasped his fists slightly: "Please enlighten me, Zhongda! Whether Bei can dominate Longxi depends on your ingenuity!"

Everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to hear whether Sima Yi's plan matched his arrogance.

Sima Yi smiled faintly, took out a map of the Longxi region, and pointed.

"First take Hanzhong as the cornerstone, and then march quickly to capture Chencang and Jieting. At these two important military points, send heavy troops to guard the area east of Longxi that can deny Cao Cao."

"Once the Chencang Street Pavilion is lost, Cao Ying will completely lose control of Longxi. Even if they send reinforcements to support Ma Teng, they will not be able to make it through!"

"We can also go straight to Chang'an from this, and on the other side divide our troops to take Wudu County, spread to Tianshui County and Nan'an County in the north, and finally annex Han Sui and Ma Teng, who are both defeated!"

What Sima Yi said made Liu Bei's eyes shine.

After Liu Bei thought for a moment, he exchanged glances with the advisers under his command, and nodded secretly.

This Sima Yi is indeed capable. If his strategy is implemented, he will really have a chance to majesticly fight against Cao Cao in the West.

Even Zhuge Liang had a bit of fighting spirit in his eyes, wanting to fight this Sima Yi.

For some reason, from the first time he saw Sima Yi, he felt that he was destined to be bound to him.

It seems... a match made in heaven... Of course he was talking about opponents.

Just when Kong Ming felt extremely confused about this, Liu Bei's words interrupted his thinking.

"What Zhongda said makes sense, and the plan is perfect! If you want the Northern Expedition, Hanzhong must be captured!"

"It's easier to fight if there are not many guards on the mountain road outside Hanzhong, but it's not easy to fight in Hanzhong City!"

"Although Cao Cao is not in Hanzhong, that fellow Zhang Lu established the Wudou Mishen Cult, which has won the hearts of the people in Hanzhong! In addition to his years of management, he has stationed tens of thousands of troops here, and even the public platform... has been defeated several times. Here! I don’t know...do you have a way to win Hanzhong?”

Hearing Liu Bei's question, all the generals became interested.

They had fought several times before, and each time they reached Hanzhong City, but were repelled by Zhang Lu, who was dedicated to the army and the people.

In their eyes, Hanzhong is a hard bone that cannot be chewed!

If he can win Hanzhong because of his strategy, it will undoubtedly greatly boost morale.

Even Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi with great interest.

Kong Ming has a way to win Hanzhong, and there is more than one way, and even... he can win Hanzhong without bloodshed.

But he didn't want to offer a plan to offend Cao Cao!

Now he is in the army of Shu and his heart is in Cao.

Facing Liu Bei's question, Sima Yi smiled confidently.

"My lord, why is this so difficult? I, Sima Yi, can't be compared with ordinary people? Since you let me be the sacrificial wine, then... I must show my skills as the sacrificial wine!"

"I have a plan, but I can take Hanzhong without bloodshed, my lord...do you want to hear it?"

Hearing this, all the generals were shocked!

They all stared at Sima Yi with unbelievable eyes, and even exclaimed in their mouths.

"Soldiers without blood? How is this possible! Hanzhong's defense is extremely strong, and it must be ten times stronger than it can be broken!"

"That's right, you yellow-mouthed kid, don't talk nonsense! Although the battle reports say that you have a good record in Cao Ying, this is not your capital for nonsense!"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Sima Yi laughed it off.

But Liu Bei quickly calmed down and grabbed Sima Yi's hand.

"Zhongda! Quickly tell me what is the solution? As long as Hanzhong is taken down, there will be a big reward!"

Sima Yi nodded and didn't want to be a joke anymore.

"My lord, do you know the counselor next to Zhang Lu, Yang Song?"

"Of course! The local family in Hanzhong has a lot of wealth! And that kid has some skills, he is Zhang Lu's right-hand man!"

"It is said that Zhang Lu defended Gongtai's several attacks under the scheme of him and Yan Pu. Why did Zhong Da suddenly mention this person?"

Liu Bei was puzzled for a while, a little unclear.

Sima Yi chuckled lightly: "The key point of the strategy I mentioned is on Yang Song!"

"My lord, you can send my letter to Yang Song. When the time comes...I will let him open the city gate myself!"

"Cao Cao Xia Houzhe can use countermeasures to destroy Sun Quan, and I, Sima Yi, will naturally not lose to them! With a letter, I... can break the city!"

In the past few days since defecting from Cao Ying, he has used the Sima family's ability to fully understand the situation in Longxi.

Naturally, he knows how to use Liu Bei to make a quick comeback.

After speaking, Sima Yi took out a Langhao brush from his pocket, put his mouth in his mouth, and wet the dry ink.

Then pick up the pen and start writing directly!

A few minutes later, a mysterious letter was sealed and delivered to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was stunned: "This... the two armies are about to fight, send a letter to invite him, will he come out? He is not stupid, so he is not afraid that we will ask him to go to the grove on the surface, but in fact kill him with one blow?"

Sima Yi waved his hands calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "My lord, just send someone to deliver it, and make sure to deliver it to Yang Song. I promise...he will come out to meet you tonight!"

Liu Bei and all the generals frowned, with suspicion in their eyes.

But seeing how sure Sima Yi was, he had no choice but to send someone to deliver the letter.

Coincidentally, Liu Bei also wanted to see if Sima Yi was reliable.

Only Zhuge Liang's eyes flickered after hearing these words, and he looked at Sima Yi in surprise.

The contempt in his eyes disappeared at this moment, and he muttered to himself:

"Something! You're the second one who got me interested. I'll fight with you when I go to Cao Ying to be next to the little rich woman and live comfortably in this life!"

Chapter 995 Zilong!act according to my face

That night, Sima Yi did not disappoint Liu Bei's expectations.

A letter really invited Yang Song to a remote grove.

Seeing that the only visitors were Liu Bei and Sima Yi, the potbellied Yang Song came out with a few guards shaking his head.

"I've seen Mr. Xuande! The big battle is imminent... I'm afraid it's not good for you to ask me out to do such a shameful thing?"

Seeing Yang Song jumping out, when Liu Bei looked at Sima Yi again, there was a bit of shock and admiration in his eyes.

More is joy!

The other party... really did it, this is not bragging!

This is such an ingenious general who is both civil and military, so he actually works for him like this?

Liu Bei was silent, but Sima Yi smiled and spoke.

"Aren't you still here? Everyone is busy, let's get straight to the point. Will you agree to the conditions I mentioned in the letter?"

"I'll give you five thousand gold, and you open the city gate to welcome us into the city! At that time...we can guarantee that your status will not be lowered, but will be improved again after we break the city!"

"I, Sima Yi, can use the reputation of the Sima family as a guarantee for my lord. I guarantee that I will not do such a thing as killing a donkey. Your Yang family is still the tyrant in Hanzhong!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei immediately understood Sima Yi's strategy.

I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart: Five thousand gold for riding a horse... How long is it enough for me to be chic?You employees really eat the boss and live with the boss. You are not afraid of the boss selling your ass, and you don't give me any consideration.

But he also understands the truth that he can't bear the fact that children can't be tied to wolves.

But unexpectedly, Yang Song snorted coldly.

"Mr. Sima, you asked me to open the city gate for a little money? Do you know that Zhang Lu is my lord?"

Sima Yi smiled lightly, his eyes slightly mocking.

"People like you still care about this?"

Yang Song tilted his head, looking at Sima Yi and Liu Bei extremely arrogantly.
