Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 561 Sima Yi

(Thanks for the monthly ticket support of "No one can think of it"!)
Youzhou
Yuan Xi was in constant panic. Although he became a Shepherd of Youzhou, he was not appointed by the imperial court and could be replaced by an official Shepherd of Youzhou at any time.

And Yuan Yao, who represented the power of the imperial court, was staring at Chen Bing at the junction of Youbeiping County in Western Liaoning and Youzhou.

Fortunately, this panic did not last long. The envoy sent by Yuan Yao arrived. After Yuan Xi understood Yuan Yao's meaning, he was almost moved to tears, "After all, they belong to the same family. Yuan Yao gave me a chance!! "

Soon Yuan Xi was more ruthless than Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan still left some troops to defend Jizhou, while Yuan Xi used all the soldiers in Youzhou to attack Xianbei.

Bing province
Although Yuan Shang was dissatisfied, he was afraid of Yuan Yao's influence, so he had no choice but to raise troops to attack the alien race.

Rather than staying in Bingzhou to fight Liu Qubei of the Southern Huns and the Black Mountain Army of Taihang Mountain, it is better to go to the north to fight hard. Maybe that will be a way out. If he wants to attack south, with Lu Buheng in Yanzhou, even if the three brothers work together Also to no avail! !

Liangzhou Wudu County

Wudu is adjacent to the Qiang people in the west, Hanzhong County in Yizhou in the east, and Guanghan County in Yizhou in the south. It is said that it is the most suitable place to attack Yizhou from Liangzhou, but if you want to attack Yizhou, you must first break through Baishui Pass.

Baishuiguan is located at the confluence of Baishui and Youhanshui, and straddles between several towering mountains. It is almost impossible to avoid Baishuiguan and climb these mountains.

Moreover, Liu Zhang in Yizhou has hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if Cao Cao’s general soldiers are combined with miscellaneous soldiers, there are only more than [-]. Let Cao Cao be the shepherd of Yizhou and replace Liu Zhang. In Cao Cao’s heart, "This is a trick. This is framed!! I am not reconciled!!"

But what if you are not willing to accept it?
Yuan Yao was able to confer Cao Cao as Yizhou Shepherd, although he intended to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but this was not an opportunity for Cao Cao, and even this opportunity was so great that Cao Cao might make a comeback! !

If Cao Cao said he was unwilling, dozens of princes from one side would rush to become the shepherd of this state immediately!

Therefore, under the persuasion of Xun Yu, Sima Fang, Chen Deng, etc., Cao Cao cheered up again.

"What's the loss of Hanoi? It's just a small place! If I control Yizhou, connect with the Qiang people in the west, and rely on the danger of mountains and rivers, I can be king in the south!!"

"No matter how bad it is, you can bow your head to Yuan Yao, and then slowly look for opportunities to fight back. Even if Yuan Yao comes to attack, if you can't defend, you can still retreat west to south, occupying a barren land, and spend the rest of your life in peace. Officer, Yuan Yao may exterminate his family at any time!"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement.

After formally taking over as Mu of Yizhou, Cao Cao stationed troops in Wudu, discussing with the generals how to attack for several days, but after ten days in a row, apart from quarreling among the generals, no one could come up with a feasible plan.

Even Chen Deng, who has always been full of tricks, was helpless.

In the face of powerful strength, sometimes many strategies are useless.

No. On the 11th day, Sima Yi, the second son of Sima Fang, asked to see Cao Cao, and wanted to offer advice. Xun Yu, Chen Deng, etc. looked at Sima Fang's face. What kind of tricks can a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy come up with.

Cao Cao didn't think so. At this moment, as long as he has a plan, he will listen to it, because if he can't break through Baishui Pass before winter and set up a foothold in Yizhou, the army will run out of food! !
"Zhongda, what plan do you have to break through Baishuiguan?" Cao Cao asked.

"This plan cannot be passed on to the public, my lord, please repel everyone!" Sima Yi said.

According to Cao Cao's plan, Xun Yu and others retreated.

Sima Yi said in a low voice: "My lord, why don't you summon Liu Bei and let Liu Bei pretend to surrender to Liu Zhang through the relationship of his clan. After he sneaks into the pass, with the courage of Guan Zhang, he will definitely be able to capture the city gate. At that time, my lord will lead an army to rush in." Inside the pass, Baishui Pass must be broken!"

Cao Cao took a breath and asked again: "Zhongda, Liu Bei's family members are all in the army now, if only Liu, Guan and Zhang are allowed to enter the pass, the enemy will definitely become suspicious."

"My lord, you can lead the troops to chase after him, let Liu Bei and his family pretend to be hunted down, and escape to the pass, and they will surely be able to deceive Baishui Pass." Sima Yi said.

"Then? What if Liu Bei really surrendered?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

"If Liu Bei really surrenders, according to Liu Bei's character, he will definitely take Liu Zhang's position as the governor of the state. Afterwards, Yizhou will inevitably be in chaos, and the Lord can take advantage of the gap. If he is loyal to the Lord, he will break the Baishuiguan. No matter how you look at it It is beneficial to the lord, and even if Liu Bei really surrenders, he will only escape some generals who may rebel against the lord in the future, and he cannot take away Liu Bei's soldiers! We have nothing to lose!" Sima Yi said.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and called out a clever plan. He patted Sima Yi on the back and said, "If I can get Yizhou, I will definitely treat you badly!"

Sima Yi thanked En and withdrew.

Cao Cao used Sima Yi's strategy to summon Liu Bei to discuss, and said: "Xuande, we have fallen into this situation because of Yuan Yao, so we must trust each other and fight against Yuan Yao together. This Yizhou may be ours. I would like to ask for your help to open the Baishui Pass, only in this way can you and I survive and have the opportunity to seek revenge on Yuan Yao and regain everything that belongs to us!"

When Liu Bei heard the words, he cried immediately: "Yuan Yao and I have a mortal enemy, but you have saved my life, so I will help you break through Baishui Pass!"

Cao Cao comforted him for a while, and told Sima Yi's plan one by one.

"Xuande, I know that your sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have undeserved courage. Although Baishuiguan is a hero, I'm afraid it can't stop your power! After I get Yizhou, I will share the benefits with you equally. Zhou, you guard the east, I guard the north, and resist Yuan Yao together!" Cao Cao said.

"Okay, but I have one request, please let Chen Yuanlong return to our army!" Liu Bei clasped his hands and begged.

"Chen Yuanlong has no strength to restrain a chicken, so it won't be of much use if he goes there?" Cao Cao said.

"Otherwise, although Chen Yuanlong can't kill the enemy, he is good at speaking. If he speaks up, he will win the trust of the general of Baishui Pass. You know, Bei has always been bad at speaking, but my second brother is arrogant, and the third brother is arrogant. , if you open your mouth, it will be easy to reveal your secrets!" Liu Bei said.

Cao Cao hesitated for a while, then thought about Xun Yu and Sima Yi, and Chen Deng was irrelevant, so he nodded and said, "Okay, that's the deal, I'll order Chen Yuanlong to come over later!"

Before leaving, he left another sentence: "Xuande, this matter is very important, please be careful!"

Liu Bei nodded, thanking Cao Cao for his kindness.

Later, Chen Deng really came to see Liu Bei. Liu Bei hurriedly called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to discuss, and told the three of Cao Cao's strategies in detail.

Chen Deng frowned after listening, and said for a long time: "Master, this matter is too risky! Baishuiguan is the gateway to Yizhou, so it must be heavily guarded. Even if you believe our false surrender, the soldiers must be on guard , and it is impossible for us to bring many soldiers there, with only Generals Guan, General Zhang and a few entourages, the chances of success may be less than [-]%! This is a mission of death!"

Liu Bei looked sad, shedding tears, and said: "Yuanlong, have you forgotten the great hatred of your family? Now you are the only one in the Chen family living in this world, don't you want to help me anymore?  … ..., no matter what, I will definitely act according to plan, even if it is death, I am willing!"
