Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 496: Harm!

When I heard what Zhong Yao said, I felt it was unreliable!

After talking for so long, you just want to let Cao Pi show up?

Is that even possible?

If it were really that simple, he would have shown up long ago. Why would he be so hesitant?

Zhong Yao’s idea... might work on Cao Cao, but it really wouldn’t work on Cao Pi!
So Wang Lang immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "No, Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"

"In my opinion, we should recall all the troops and use a large army to force the rebels."

"In this way... by combining kindness and force, we can win without fighting and put down the rebellion in Hexi."

"If Your Majesty does not have a large army with him, how can you make Sima Yi surrender even if you go there?"

"That guy fought to the death, it's hard to say what the result will be."

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor. You cannot take risks."

What Wang Lang said actually makes sense.

As the saying goes, "A cornered dog will jump over the wall." Sima Yi and Cao Zhi naturally knew that if they failed this time, they would surely die!
How can I just hand over my life?

However, what Wang Lang said was already within Zhong Yao's expectations.

Without waiting for Cao Pi to think carefully, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why do we call back the troops? If Liu Bei said so, wouldn't he want us to attack Sima Yi so that he can take advantage of us?"

"Once we withdraw our troops and horses, won't that give Liu Bei an opportunity to take advantage?"

"By then, Xu County, Luoyang, and Pengcheng will all be lost. Your Majesty, will you wait for death in Hebei?"

As Zhong Yao spoke, he really decided to go all out.

Fearing that Cao Pi would still hesitate, he even offended Wang Lang and said, "At that time, our Wang Situ could rely on his world-renowned reputation... maybe even be ranked among the Three Dukes, but Your Majesty... what should we do?"

Zhong Yao’s words are so infuriating.

Isn't it said openly and secretly that Wang Lang will surrender?

Situ Wang had never suffered such humiliation. With his resounding reputation, even Cao Cao had to respect him. How could he endure the injustice from Zhong Yao today?
Then he shouted: "Zhong Yuanchang! What do you mean?"

"They are putting Your Majesty in danger. They are talking about extraordinary measures. I think they are trying to harm Your Majesty so that you will surrender to Liu Bei!"

A prophecy!
Wang Lang said these words just to retaliate against Zhong Yao, but he didn't expect that he accidentally hit the truth.

Zhong Yao was stunned when he heard this, but his expression did not change at all. He just shouted: "Okay, okay, then use your method, Situ Wang, to call back the army and see how long Luoyang and Xu County can be defended!"

Wang Lang heard this and realized that this wouldn’t work!

If something goes wrong, won't he be held responsible?
This can't happen!

Wang Lang immediately felt a little regretful.

What nonsense were my suggestions? They forced Zhong Yao to retreat in order to advance. Now it's my turn to be in trouble.

I didn't know what to say at the moment. I could only look at Zhong Yao angrily, hoping in my heart that someone could save me.

Just as he was thinking this, someone really came to rescue him.

But Wu Zhi stepped forward and said, "Master Wang, Lord Yuan Chang, please stop arguing among yourselves."

"You two are both loyal to your majesty and serve your country. Now you should think about how to deal with the enemy!"

Cao Pi heard this and quickly followed up, saying, "That's right, my two beloved ministers, stop arguing and just think about how to deal with the enemy."

Wu Zhi said: "What Lord Yuan Chang said is actually true. Your Majesty was abdicated by Liu Xie himself. It is useless for Cao Zhi to appear today."

"Besides, the families of the soldiers in the army are all here with us. If we use the families to persuade them, are we afraid that Sima Yi and Cao Zhi will really succeed?"

"Your Majesty is not only going this time, but he is also going without soldiers and horses, and is taking the elderly, the weak, women and children with him."

"Let's see if Sima Yi dares to take action. Once he does, how will his troops treat him?"

Zhong Yaozhi secretly said a few good words in his heart!

I never expected that Wu Zhi was also a naive person. How could Sima Yi be so soft-hearted when he started his army like this?

Even if he moved Sima's biological mother here, he would not have any hesitation.

As for how to make the soldiers and horses listen to him, I think he has his own way.

Zhong Yao then stepped forward and said, "This is a very good plan. We can use it."

Wang Lang, who was standing by, saw someone coming to his rescue and stopped talking for fear that if he objected again he would be asked for advice.

Anyway, your presence has already been demonstrated, so there's no need to take it so seriously.

He immediately stepped forward and said, "I will review the matter."

In this way, everyone's opinions were unified.

Do not…

It cannot be said to be unified. In fact, Zhang He, who was in the hall, felt that this matter was extremely unreliable.

Marching and fighting are all matters of life and death. You must be prepared to bleed and sacrifice at any time and be prepared to fight to the death!

How reliable can the battle plans that these intellectuals who have never fought a battle come up with on the spur of the moment be?

Just think about it...if nothing unexpected happens, it will be weird.

But today Zhang He rarely failed to express his true feelings.

Why?

Because he himself has not been cleared of suspicion!

He had just said that there was a misunderstanding, and then came the news of Sima Yi's rebellion. No matter what he said now, it would not be good!
Besides, facing the current situation, Zhang He really has no choice.

Because of all these things, even though Zhang He felt something was wrong, he didn't say a word.

When Cao Pi saw that the plan had been decided, it looked like the remaining people in the court were no longer able to come up with any ideas.

After thinking about it...I didn't agree in a hurry.

He also wanted to ask Jia Xu again and hear his opinion.

Now, old Jia Xu is indeed the only one Cao Pi can rely on.

Cheng Yu has been in a semi-retired state for the past six months and rarely attends court.

At that time, Cheng Yu was already over seventy years old, and Cao Pi was unwilling to bother him any more.

Of course, Jia Xu is not much younger than Cheng Yu, but he is still in good health, so Cao Pi still relies heavily on Jia Xu.

But at this age, it’s hard to say whether things might get worse soon!

This is the case with Jia Xu right now.

The last time they met, although Jia Xu was lying on the bed, he had no problem speaking or thinking.

But today, when Cao Pi went to see Jia Xu for advice, he found that Jia Xu was in a daze.

After asking Jia Mu, they found out that Jia Xu had felt better a few days ago and wanted to go out for a walk, but he accidentally caught a cold and his condition became worse.

Seeing how unlucky he was, Cao Pi couldn't forcibly pull the man up and ask for advice.

I had no choice but to give up.

However, the reason why Cao Pi was so hesitant was naturally that he felt that what Wu Zhi and others said was unreliable.

Although he didn't have any good plans, wise men usually take matters into their own hands when using strategies. They couldn't discuss things like in the hall, where they had to completely depend on other people's expressions.

In Cao Pi's heart, he even felt that Wang Lang's proposal was more reliable, which was why he did not immediately agree to everyone's plan.

Cao Pi was not that simple after all. He somehow sensed something was wrong.
