The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 252 Sima Yi Appears

Sima Yi smiled slightly and said, "General, there is no need to be angry, at least our army has found out the reality of the Sizhou border."

Ma Chao glanced at Sima Yi indifferently, and asked, "What is false?"

Because she was deflated by Zhao Yun just now, her mood was not very beautiful.

He, Ma Chao, had never suffered such a disadvantage in competing with others among the Qiang people in Xiliang and even the Hu people.

When talking with Sima Yi, he kept thinking about Zhao Yun's shot before he left.

His hands were numb from the shot, which was still fresh in his memory. He was eager to attack at that time, and he showed such a flaw.

But the people who can attack the flaws with a single shot in such a short time are all people with high martial arts skills.

Seeing Ma Chao's restless appearance, Sima Yi didn't rush to speak, but waited for a while.

It wasn't until Ma Chao looked at Sima Yi again that he said lightly, "At least the counties on the border of Caowei Sizhou are empty of defense."

"This is the reality of Sizhou. Now they don't have any defenders in Sizhou!"

Ma Chao nodded, showing a trace of indifference.

Obviously, there is still no meaning in it. What he wants more is to fight Zhao Yun again to prove his strength.

Sima Yi continued: "At least, we won't encounter any resistance before attacking Chang'an. According to Cao Wei's strength in Sizhou, we can't stop our army!"

Then he looked aside and said with a smile: "We can even use the Wei River as a base to occupy all the prefectures and counties before this."

After hearing this, Ma Chao's expression finally changed, showing a hint of surprise.

Then he smiled lightly, "That's fine, I just fought against Cao Jun's elite tiger and leopard cavalry, and found that the combat power is no more than that, and I will be a little inferior in front of my Xiliang iron cavalry."

"I want to see how capable Cao Jun, whom everyone in the world avoids, is capable of."

Just occupying a few cities is not the slightest temptation for him, Sizhou is his goal.

Looking at the Qian County in his hand, his eyes once again showed a hint of ambition.

"Very well, send troops again tomorrow."

Sima Yi on the side frowned slightly and said, "General, I'm afraid it's not good. It's not good if you fall into the enemy's ambush. How about waiting for the army to come?"

Facing Sima Yi's glance, Ma Chao raised a hand calmly and said, "Don't wait for them. Since Sizhou has no troops now, it should take advantage of the victory and pursue it."

"Just a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry are no match for my Xiliang iron cavalry."

Immediately there was incomparable self-confidence in his eyes, how could it be possible that General Shenweitian, who was called by the Qiang and Hu people in Xiliang, had no ability at all.

Sima Yi at the side wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking about it carefully, his words seemed to make sense.

If he had to wait a few days, Sizhou's reinforcements might have arrived.

Then it would be better to seize the two days and pursue the victory. In this way, Sima Yi did not continue to dissuade him, bowed his head and nodded, watching Ma Chao enter the city.

Only at this moment did he look at Sizhou with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Back then, when he was still in Xuchang, Cao Cao personally wanted to ask him to be an official, but he didn't want to accept it at first.

All of this was rejected by a person next to Cao Cao, and that person seemed to have a little killing intent towards him.

That person is the current king of Wei, Zhao Feng.

Just seeing him, Sima Yi felt chills in his heart, as if everything about him had been directly seen through by Zhao Feng.

At that time, he was terrified. He left Xuchang and even all the areas under Cao Cao's jurisdiction overnight, and went directly to Xiliang, where he defected to Ma Teng.

Even now, he never thought that there would be such a day that he would lead troops to attack Zhao Feng.

Then he shook his head, put all these old things behind him, and looked at Sizhou in front of him.

Now that Cao Jun is so powerful, he should not be afraid of the Xiliang Army, and there is no reason to face the Xiliang Army again.

So Sima Yi almost concluded that Sizhou must have an empty defense without any soldiers.

Cao Jun would abandon the city and flee after defending the city to no avail.

Sima Yi smiled and shook his head, even if soldiers came, he still broke through the city gate and took the guard's head.

Xiliang now has a strong army and horses, and if there is a real war, they will not be afraid at all.

At one place in Chang'an City, several bronze sparrows came to pass the news.

"My lord, Ma Chao has taken more than [-] people to occupy Qian County, including [-] Xiliang cavalry."

Zhuge Liang on the side smiled and said, "Everything is proceeding as my lord expected. It seems that Xiliang has not noticed our intention at all."

Guo Jia also nodded, looked at Zhao Feng and said, "The other counties and counties outside the Weishui River have also withdrawn their troops, and now all of them have become empty cities."

Hearing this, Zhao Feng nodded, then looked at Tongque and asked, "Is there any movement from the Qiang people recently?"

For Zhao Feng, the Qiang people are the most important.

Tongque shook his head and said, "The Qiang people haven't made any moves recently."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Feng showed a thoughtful look and waved his hand.

"Continue to investigate the news."

The two people on the side also showed curiosity and looked at each other. Although they knew what Zhao Feng's intention was, they couldn't guess what Zhao Feng was thinking.

At this time, Zhuge Liang asked, "My lord, do you have any other arrangements?"

Zhao Feng was taken aback for a moment, and looked at his two military advisers. Now that he has transformed into the king of Wei, the post of military adviser is naturally entrusted to them.

"Arrangements? What more arrangements do you want!"

Guo Jia also couldn't help asking: "Now that Ma Chao is occupying Qian County, tomorrow he will definitely rise up and invade other counties and counties. Does my lord have any other arrangements?"

From their point of view, Zhao Feng, a scheming and calculating talent, would make incomparably mysterious moves every step of the way.

However, Zhao Feng was slightly puzzled, and looked at the two of them lightly and said, "Isn't the arrangement for today already made?"

"Since the soldiers and even the people of other counties and counties have withdrawn to the other side of the Wei River, let them occupy the remaining cities."

"We don't need to bother with them."

Looking at the two, Zhao Feng continued: "There is nothing worth discussing today, let's think about it when Ma Teng's army approaches the city."

"Staying still is the best strategy. Now is not the best time, and we need to wait."

"You two don't need to think too much."

After speaking, Zhao Feng got up and left the study.

Cao Cao completely delegated power to Zhao Feng, but he spent his old age there with nothing to do.

This surprised Zhao Feng very much. Originally, after he said those words, Cao Cao divided his power by half at most, but Cao Cao took the initiative to let go of all these powers. Although he was still the prime minister, he didn't bother about everything. .

This is Cao Cao's current attitude. It seems that he really handed over all the power to Zhao Feng.

Afterwards, Zhao Feng exhaled slightly, glanced at Cao Cao who was practicing calligraphy in the courtyard, and left quietly without disturbing him.
