Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 495 Brothers are fighting against each other
An uproar!
When the whole court heard Zhong Yao's words, there was an uproar.

Everyone was stunned and some even thought that Zhong Yao had gone crazy.

Wang Lang on the side called out, "Yuan Chang! What nonsense are you talking about?"

"That Cao Zhi guy died a long time ago!"

Cao Pi also looked extremely ugly.

The appearance of Cao Zhi was no ordinary news.

That was news that was intended to overthrow his throne!

After hearing what Wang Lang said, he quickly agreed: "Yes, my brother died a long time ago, how could he appear in Hexi?"

Zhong Yao's expression naturally wasn't very good either.

But he was just pretending.

When he was in Chang'an, he had heard Xing Daorong say that Cao Zhi was in Sima Yi's hands. He was very surprised at that time, and he knew that sooner or later there would be a day when Sima Yi would bring Cao Zhi out.

I just didn’t expect it to be so soon!

And now that Cao Zhi has reappeared, he is different from the past and has troops and horses in his hands. Anyone with a little common sense will know how serious this matter is.

So no one believed it.

However, Zhong Yao said, "Your Majesty! If I don't have accurate information, how can I speak so freely?"

Cao Pi also knew that Zhong Yao should not deceive him.

This news is even less likely to be groundless.

Cao Pi knew that today's news of "Cao Zhi's resurrection" was pushing him into a dead end.

Sima Yi and Cao Zhi were causing chaos at home, Liu Bei was threatening him from outside, and the people at home were already living in dire straits. All these situations had already made Cao Pi feel suffocated.

Don't say
Thinking of this, Cao Pi really felt a headache.
Frowning and shaking his head, Cao Pi said to the silent crowd: "If this is fake news, it will be exposed as soon as it is exposed. I think Sima Yi has been plotting rebellion for a long time, so he picked up my brother from somewhere long ago."

"I was thinking about when I could kill you, so I brought my brother in and took control of the power."

"But he didn't expect that after Chang'an's defeat, he was afraid of being punished by me and losing military power. He had no choice but to use this 'killer move' at this moment."

"I was unable to get rid of my brother at that time, which would have caused me endless troubles."

Cao Pi kept calling him "my brother" and was unwilling to even call him by his name, and it was obvious that he hated Cao Zhi deeply.

Everyone heard Cao Pi gritting his teeth, but they also wanted to share His Majesty's worries.

However, if I were to ask what solution there is, I really couldn’t think of one at the moment.

Since Sima Yi rebelled, it was natural to suppress him.

The problem is that the troops south of the Yellow River must not move at all, lest if Liu Bei moves, the Central Plains will be lost. Then they will end up waiting to die in Hebei just like the Yuan brothers did in the past.

There were not many troops left in Hebei, and some of them were going to support Hangu Pass. The rest were originally in Sima Yi's hands, but they rebelled.

As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, to put it bluntly, there are no more soldiers!
That’s right, right now Cao Pi doesn’t even have enough troops to defeat Sima Yi.

However, remaining silent like this is not a solution.

Cao Pi then asked Zhang He, "General Zhang, given the current situation, isn't Sima Yi a traitor?"

Zhang He murmured, not knowing how to respond.

Speaking of Sima Yi, his image in the army was really good. On the one hand, he was indeed capable of commanding the army. Second, he had saved Cao Pi and his loyalty was evident. Third, he had done many favors to the generals.

Therefore, he was highly respected in the army.

Even Zhang He and Xu Huang never had any doubts. Even if he stayed in Hexi County and refused to hand over his military power, they still believed that he was really going to attack Chang'an.

I never thought that Sima Yi really had two minds, let alone the fact that Sima suddenly "resurrected" Cao Zhi.

After hearing Cao Pi's question, he just sighed and did not say a word to defend Sima Yi.

Seeing this, Cao Pi did not make things difficult for Zhang He.

After all, now is the time to use manpower, and there are only a few capable fighters left. So let's not create unnecessary trouble and push a great general like Zhang He too far.

He just turned around and looked at Wang Lang and the others and said, "Now that it has happened, there is no point in regretting it. We should think of a way to destroy the bandits."

"My dear ministers, do you have any plan?"

We should let Wang Lang or someone like him write some articles and do some scholarly work. If that doesn't work, then let him take care of some general internal affairs. Maybe it's okay if he does everything step by step.

But if he were asked to think of a way to deal with Xing Daorong's "economic war" or the current predicament of Sima Yi's rebellion, how could he come up with even a single solution?
Although Cao Pi didn't mention him by name at the moment, he could feel Cao Pi's gaze on him, as if he was being named.

However, if you have nothing in your stomach, even if you have the intention, you will not be able to do it.

He could only feel awkward, not knowing what to say, and lowered his head, hoping that Cao Pi would not call his name.

It's not just him, most people are like this too.

Cao Pi saw everything clearly from above, and cursed in his heart, what a bunch of good-for-nothings!
Guo Jia, Xun You, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, who were by my father's side in the past, were all capable of making plans and making decisions.

Then it came to myself.
But no one can use it.
Cao Pi did not feel that he was inferior to his father at all. Instead, he blamed the people around him.

After waiting for a long while, no one spoke. Cao Pi finally couldn't help but call out the names, but heard Zhong Yao step forward and say, "Your Majesty, Sima Yi has tens of thousands of troops and horses, and the army in Hebei is insufficient. If we want to suppress the bandits, we can't defeat them. We can only resort to extraordinary measures!"

It has come to this, why bother about extraordinary measures!

It would be great if there was a solution!

He said quickly, "Lord Yuan Chang, if there is any way, just tell me. Even if it doesn't work, I can't blame you."

Zhong Yao nodded, took a few steps forward, stood in front of everyone and said, "Sima Yi said he had tens of thousands of troops and horses. In the final analysis, were they given to him by the Cao family?"

"It is precisely because of this that they are afraid that if Your Majesty goes in person, there will be a mutiny in the army, so they brought in Cao Zhi!"

Cao Pi nodded after hearing this.

Zhong Yao is his most beloved minister.

His false surrender from Xing Daorong did indeed bring some stability to Yecheng.

After all, this behavior shows that there are still people who are optimistic about the Cao family and are willing to live and die with it!

Now he is the first one to offer advice in times of crisis, and what he says makes sense, so I like him even more.

But he said: "My dear minister, what you said is very true, but how should we deal with such a situation, and what extraordinary methods should we use?"

But Zhong Yao said, "Your Majesty should go there in person to compete with Cao Zhi to see who can inherit Cao Gong's throne!"

Cao Pi asked again: "How can we compare who is better? Are we going to compete in martial arts or literature?"

Zhong Yao said: "No, no, I just want to argue for orthodoxy."

"Your Majesty accepted the throne from Liu Xie, how can you compare with Cao Zhi?"

"Just stand before Cao Zhi, and tens of thousands of troops will be at your service."

"Then they will fall without a fight. Cao Zhi and Sima Yi will die together!"
