Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 494 Chaos! Cao Zhi appears again!
Sima Yi knew very well why Liu Bei was targeting him.

To be precise, it was not Liu Bei who was staring at him, but Xing Daorong!

Sima Yi had been looking for people to find out what was going on in Chang'an, so he naturally knew that this incident happened after Xing Daorong sent out his troops.

"Xing Daorong, Xing Daorong..."

"I want to get rid of you, and you also want to get rid of me. We are connected in spirit..."

While Sima Yi still had time to marvel at the "understanding" between himself and Xing Daorong, Yu Jin was already extremely anxious.

But he said: "If Cao Pi really comes, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny in the army."

"We...can't restrain our troops, so we can only surrender."

Sima Yi listened without saying anything.

However, how could Yu Jin not see the gloomy and cruel expression on his face?
Although he didn't say it, he sighed in his heart: "Meng De, Meng De, if Cao Pi hadn't been so bullying, I wouldn't have been able to follow Sima."

"And now... the situation has become like this. If you know about this, please don't blame me."

Yu Jin sighed like this, clearly knowing that Sima Yi was about to make a killing move.

But he knew in his heart that he felt guilty about Cao Cao's kindness.

But Sima Yi's killing move was even more cruel than he had imagined...

...

When Cao Pi heard Liu Bei's move in Yecheng, he also sneered.

"Sima Yi has made great contributions by abandoning Chang'an. If he is loyal to the Han Dynasty, he can go to Chengdu quickly, where he will be rewarded for his military achievements."

The child is using a trick... The child is using a trick!

Cao Pi was in a rare good mood and thought Liu Bei was ridiculous, but he openly laughed at Liu Bei in the court.

Minister Wang Lang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Bei is like this. I think he is old and confused and doesn't know what to do."

Cao Pi hadn't been so happy for a long time, and he laughed again after hearing this.

But he said: "Liu Bei is only over fifty years old, but he is so foolish that he uses this child's plan."

"Even if Sima Yi had second thoughts, he would not dare to go to Chengdu!"

"Such a scheme is just ridiculous."

Then he looked at Wang Lang and said, "Situ, it seems that you should teach Liu Bei how to be strong in old age and not make stupid mistakes."

Wang Lang also laughed out loud when he heard this, and he felt relieved for once.

But at this happy moment, other people in the court had different thoughts.

Not many people agreed.

Just when the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, there was a sudden burst of laughter.

"Hahaha...how ridiculous, really ridiculous!"

It doesn't sound like a genuine laugh... it has a hint of "mockery" in it.

Who is so bold?
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Wu Zhi, and they understood.

Wu Zhi was a staunch supporter of Cao Pi, so it was understandable that he was a little insolent.

Cao Pi's expression changed slightly, but when he saw that it was Wu Zhi, his expression softened a little.

But he asked, "Why is Ji Chong laughing?"

It is understandable that Cao Pi treated Wu Zhi like this.

At that time, when Cao Cao was recruiting talents in Juancheng in order to develop his power to fight against Yuan Shao, Wu Zhi responded to the call.

Because of his talent and knowledge, he was appreciated by Cao father and son, and became a close friend of Cao Pi and a literary friend of Cao Zhi.

After Cao Pi was appointed as the crown prince, Wu Zhi was appointed as the county magistrate of Chaoge and later transferred to the position of magistrate of Yuancheng.

Later, in order to consolidate his position as crown prince, Cao Pi often discussed countermeasures with Wu Zhi.

It is said that once, Cao Cao led his army to an expedition, and Cao Pi and Cao Zhi went to see him off.

Cao Zhi spoke eloquently and praised Cao Cao's merits, while Cao Pi seemed to pale in comparison and felt lost.

At that time, Wu Zhi whispered to Cao Pi, "When you say goodbye to the King of Wei, don't say anything, just cry." After hearing Wu Zhi's words, Cao Pi cried very sadly.

Cao Cao and his entourage were deeply moved.

So everyone thought that Cao Zhi was flashy and not as honest and filial as Cao Pi.

In addition, Cao Pi was good at concealing himself and was decent in his words and deeds, while Cao Zhi was arrogant and spoiled because of his talent, which aroused the disgust of many people. In the end, Cao Cao gave up the idea of ​​making Cao Zhi the crown prince.

Of course, it is not to say that Wu Zhi’s suggestion that time was decisive, but he did provide a lot of suggestions and stabilized Cao Pi’s position.

As for Wu Zhi...he is truly Cao Pi's own man.

Just like Liu Bei trusted Xing Daorong, Cao Pi also trusted Wu Zhi very much.

When Wu Zhi heard Cao Pi asking, he stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, great events are approaching, but I see Your Majesty is only laughing at me, so I feel inspired to speak."

Cao Pi asked, "Big event? But I don't know what big event it is?"

Wu Zhi said, "Today, news has come from Hangu Pass that Xing Daorong has led his army to attack. Your Majesty, have you come up with a plan to deal with it?"

These words have a somewhat questioning tone.

Cao Pi frowned and said, "I have sent Cao Xiu and Xu Huang to lead the army, and also asked General Cao Ren to keep an eye on the movements in Guanzhong. There is no need to worry."

good…

Now Cao Ren is also the general of Cao Wei.

As the few remaining generals of the Cao family, Cao Pi has now sent Cao Xiu, Cao Ren and Cao Zhang to deal with Xing Daorong. If something unexpected happens again, Cao Pi will really be helpless.

However, Wu Zhi's talk about the incident at Hangu Pass was just a drop in the ocean for discussion, and he was not really talking about the war in that place.

not to mention…

In fact, Cao Wei himself knew that when Liu Bei mobilized his troops again, it would definitely not be a small-scale attack.

Therefore, at the moment, Xing Daorong is just mobilizing troops, and there is really no such tension.

People...that's how they break through their bottom line step by step.

If this had happened in the past, upon learning that Xing Daorong was coming to attack Hangu Pass, Cao Pi would naturally respond seriously and not allow any mistakes.

However, now that Wancheng, Chang'an and Tongguan were lost, Cao Pi had become somewhat accustomed to it.

Now that I heard that Hangu Pass was attacked, I am not as nervous as before.

Seeing Cao Pi was quite relaxed, Wu Zhi quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am not talking about the Hangu Pass incident, but the Hexi incident!"

"How can Liu Bei really take Sima Yi's words as a reward? He wants to give us a reason to send troops!"

"If we don't go, Sima Yi will also take action. He must think that we can't let him go, so he wants to mobilize troops and strike first."

"Your Majesty! Be careful!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi's expression changed several times.

But he suddenly slammed the table and said, "That Sima Yi! I trusted him so much, and he controlled the elite troops of the Wei Dynasty, but he didn't think of repaying me and abandoned the city and ran away!"

"I put the overall situation first, so I didn't touch him. Now he dares to rebel?"

At that time, Zhang He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is still a misunderstanding. The commander-in-chief stayed in Xihe in order to return to Chang'an. He has no ulterior motives."

Cao Pi also didn't know how Sima Yi won the hearts of the people.

If he had not brought out his father's portrait that day in the palace, he might not have been able to explain the two generals Zhang He and Xu Huang clearly.

Seeing that Zhang He was still like this, he did not want to say more, and only said: "I will send another order to ask Sima Yi to explain everything. If Sima Yi returns here, all the past will be forgiven. I still trust him and he will fight against the enemy for me."

"If you don't come... you're a traitor!"

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside.

Soon, Zhong Yao hurried in.

"His Majesty!"

"Something bad happened!"

"Prince Zhi, he...he is rebelling in Hexi together with Sima Yi!"
