Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 150 Cutting Cao's Feather Wings (6)
In the middle of the night just four days ago, Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun led thousands of tiger and leopard riders and crossbowmen to surround the isolation and treatment barracks where the seriously ill soldiers lived. With a salvo, torches were thrown in all directions, and all the knives and axes were used, it only took three or four hours to burn and kill the [-] seriously ill soldiers!

Although both Cai Hao and Zhang Yun received the fact sheet written by Prime Minister Cao himself afterwards, they also tried to force themselves to understand the intention of Prime Minister Cao's move of "the scorpion venom stings the hand, and the strong man cuts the wrist". Despite all their painstaking efforts, bursts of bone-penetrating chills still secretly permeated their whole bodies and minds.For the first time, they felt very real and very close, what a ruthless person Prime Minister Cao is!Any character, once it loses its use value in his eyes, will be abandoned by him without mercy!
However, neither Cai Hao nor Zhang Yun can turn back and choose again.Even if they are deeply regretful, they have nowhere to go at this moment.Perhaps, only by doing everything possible to help Cao Cao defeat the Jiangdong Navy at the last moment, will his situation be slightly improved?Even if it's just a thread of fantasy floating like a gossamer, it's better than being ashamed, sitting in a sad city, and dying day by day.

Of course, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun also thought about betraying Cao Cao and defecting to Zhou Yu when their thoughts flashed, but they immediately felt that this kind of idea was simply absurd.Who is Cao Cao?Cao Cao is the majestic prime minister of the great Han Dynasty who is powerful and powerful in the world. He has a forest of counselors, a rain of good generals, and millions of troops. With a stomp of his feet, the six counties of Jiangdong can be destroyed!What are Zhou Yu and the others?Don't look at the fact that relying on the natural moat of the Yangtze River can still support it for a while-after Cao Cao's [-] strong troops have completely adapted to the bumps on the boat, they took advantage of the situation to cross the boat across the river, Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and others Waiting will become powder!

"Has the envoys sent by Ma Teng to his sons Ma Chao and Han Sui safely escaped the inspection of the sentry and returned to Liangzhou?" A sentence from Sima Lang.

"My lord, according to my report in Chang'an, the secret envoy sent by Ma Teng has safely arrived in Liangzhou yesterday." Sima Lang accompanied him, and replied politely, "I believe it will not be long. , Ma Chao and Han Sui will make a lot of noise..."

"Well...it's necessary for them to stir up these noises. But their destructive power must not exceed our control!" Although Cao Pi's tone was pretending to be plain and relaxed, there was still a faint worry hanging between his brows Said, "To be honest, it is a very tricky 'dangerous move' to stir up the Ma clan's rebellion in Kansai to prevent the Southern Expedition Army from winning a complete victory. Pi has concerns about this."

Sima Lang glanced at the color of his face from behind his head, and thought to himself: This eldest son is really "big and timid, full of desire and fuzzy, uneasy when he has a plan, dare to do it but not to do it." Dare to be ", full of worries, afraid of the past and the future, it is really difficult to serve.But at this moment, he can only keep cheering for the eldest son: "Young master, according to Lang's opinion, you don't have to worry too much. Lang has already informed Mr. Zhong Yao, the captain of Sili and the general of Zhenxi, in advance. After that, please firmly guard Tongguan, and take strict precautions against Xiliang Mashi at all times."

"Zhong Yao? Well... Zhong Yao is a good hand who can suppress the Xiliang Ma family!" Cao Pi's eyes flickered when he heard this, "Master Sima, it would be best if we could bring him over as well." That's right. I just don't know if Zhong Yao is reliable..."

"Eldest son, Zhong Yao has always admired your virtuousness, and has long cherished a heart of support. It's just that we rarely had the opportunity to meet and travel with you before."

Sima Lang slowly took out a kit from his bosom, and presented it respectfully: "A few days ago, he rode [-] miles to send the Five Elements Jade Pendant, a family treasure, from Tongguan, and it was presented by Tuolan. To you, Eldest Prince, to express my bowing and submitting to you."

"Really?" Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately fixed his eyes on the kit in Sima Lang's hand, "The Yingchuan Zhong family's family treasure 'Five Elements Jade Pendant' is a rare and rare best! Quick, quick, Quick, open this treasure bag for Pi to appreciate."

Sima Lang nodded and smiled, and slowly opened the kit, only to see five crystal clear jade pendants.One is shaped like a dragon, green like a green leaf; one is shaped like a crouching tiger, white like auspicious snow; one is shaped like a turtle, yellow like millet; one is shaped like a crane, red like a cherry; .When Cao Pi saw it, he quickly grabbed it in his hand, and immediately became a little crazy: "It's beautiful! It's beautiful! It's really beautiful! Since Mr. Zhong Yao has this kind of heart, it's very rare. Master Sima, you can get it from the treasury. Fifty bolts of brocade came out and sent over as a thank-you gift to Pi. Pi's Kansai's "horse defense" major event was entrusted to him with full power! You tell him, and Pi will never agree with his support. forget!"

Sima Lang let him play with the "Five Elements Jade Pendant" over and over again, and nodded in agreement with a smile.

Cao Pi turned around, and ordered his close confidant, Zhu Shuo, the head of the bodyguard, to say, "Mr. Zhu, Pi wrote a secret letter to Brother Zhong Da asking about the situation of the Southern Expedition—you find a loyal and reliable dead man." Sergeant, how about sending it to Brother Zhongda in time for Pi?"

Zhu Shuo bowed and answered loudly: "Your subordinate obeys orders."

Jiang Qian crossed the river
"Hey... If Prime Minister Cao could have used Jiang's plan to lobby Jiangdong earlier, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others would have died long ago. Why did they delay for so long?"

The raging river wind blew the clothes of Jiang Gan, who was standing on the pier by the bank, swaying from side to side.But he looked at the other side, with his head held high and his chest held high, with a smug look.

Jiang Gan said this to Sima Yi who came to see him off.During the more than ten days he lived in Cao Ying, he became the most familiar with Sima Yi, and the two often chatted together.Sima Yi always asked him about Jiangdong's relevant information humbly, and paid the most attention to Zhou Yu's temper and habits, Sun Quan's employment and handling of affairs, and other aspects.Seeing that Sima Yi was so modest and inquisitive, Jiang Gan couldn't help being greatly benefited, and he almost "told all his money" about every question he had.A few days ago, Sima Yi spent a lot of effort to get him a bottle of "Zhuyan Wine" from Xiahouyuan and Cao Chun, which was said to be able to prevent and cure epidemics. It's gratitude, and I feel that Sima Yi is worthy of deep friendship.

When Sima Yi heard Jiang Gan's emotion, he just laughed and didn't respond.He understood the reason why Cao Cao suddenly changed his course and was eager to ask Jiang Gan to cross the river to the enemy camp in Chibi to lobby Zhou Yu and Lu Su.The day before yesterday afternoon, the North Army led by Zhang Liao and Xu Huang marched eastward along the Hanshui River. The vanguard was attacked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the Mianyang area, and Liu Fangxiao, the two members of the army, lost the first battle and had to stay in Mianyang temporarily, unable to advance.Moreover, there is another "wind" spreading into Cao Jun's Wulin Water Village: Liu Bei may have personally led [-] powerful soldiers to sneak west from Xiakou City, and is preparing to cooperate with the Jiangdong Navy to launch a surprise attack on Wulin Water Village from land!These two situations shocked Cao Cao greatly.In addition, the soldiers in the naval battalion were a little unstable, and he was temporarily unable to sail south to attack Chibi, so he had to start Jiang Gan's "leisure chess" and asked him to go to the Chibi Water Village to try to lobby Zhou Yu, Lu Su.Although he understood the cause and effect of all this, Sima Yi naturally had to keep his mouth shut, and it was impossible to disclose these inside information to Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan was unaware of Sima Yi's reaction, and stared at the light boat that was parked on the bank to pick him up across the river, but he was very excited.I was finally going to cross the Yangtze River to show off my eloquence, and I made a great contribution to the Han Dynasty's six counties and 81 counties in the east of the Yangtze River!Excited, his face glowed red.

"Jiang Jun, Yi has always believed that you are eloquent and have the extraordinary ability to conquer the seventy cities of the Qi State. Yi will welcome your success at any time on the north bank of the Yangtze River." Sima Yi pointed to the leaf light boat. The eight tiger and ben warriors standing with swords and halberds said slowly, "After all, you are representing my Han court to persuade Zhou Yu and Lu Su to surrender and surrender. The majestic and majestic appearance of the messenger, let those Jiangdong barbarians who don't know the etiquette and education of the Central Plains see the mighty power of my Han court!"

Knowing that the eight tiger warriors were won by Sima Yi, he was very grateful and thanked Cao Cao, "Thank you, Mr. Sima, for putting yourself in Jiang's shoes! The "confidant" that Jiang met in his three lifetimes! Although Bao Shuya treated Guan Zhongzhi with sincerity and sincerity, it is far from being able to match it now! The great kindness is not lightly thanked. Waiting for Jiang to come back from the miraculous construction of the Chibi Water Village , I will repay you in the future!"

Sima Yi waved his hand forward and made a gesture of seeing him off: "Then, Yi sincerely wishes Mr. Jiang a smooth sailing!"

Seeing the light boat that Jiang Shi was on finally passing away like a speck of black dot on the misty river, Sima Yi withdrew his eyes and turned to the blue sky. He raised his face with a lost expression.

It took a long time before he spoke, and he spoke to Niu Jin, who was the only one who stayed by his side and waited quietly. Now Niu Jin has been following him as a soldier of Buqu.Sima Yi said this: "Niu Jin, do you think my Sima family members are too cruel? They killed so many innocent sailors in Jingzhou for the self-interest of one family and one surname?"

Niu Jin replied a little blankly: "Niu only knows that the second master and young master must have a reason for you to do these things... Niu Jin can't think too much and say more."

"Hey! My Sima family is sorry for these [-] seriously ill patients! Who made them live in this chaotic world of 'competing for snobbery'? 'One general succeeds and ten thousand bones die'...I, Sima of Yin State The only way to repay these innocent soldiers and civilians who have been 'sacrificed' is by ending this troubled world!" Sima Yi sighed.

Finally, he turned around and ordered to Niu Jin with a solemn expression: "Smash that 'rhinoceros horn bottle', grind it into powder, and throw it into all the water supply canals of our army's water and land battalions. It's here! It's time to really cut off the 'root' of the epidemic in the military..."

seamless back-to-back
In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Gan hurried back from the opposite bank by boat, and ran straight to Cao Cao's sleeping tent as soon as he landed as if he was on fire.

A few moments after he entered the tent, several personal guards were ordered to rush out of Cao Cao's sleeping tent, respectively rousing Xia Houyuan, Cao Chun, Mao Jie, Sima Yi, etc. from the bed. The prime minister had an urgent matter to summon them Negotiate immediately.
