Except for Yan Yan, Wang Ping and Ma Yan, who were recommended by Zhuge Liang, no one had any objections, and even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were silent about this, which was equivalent to agreeing.Liu Bei did not have any objection to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, and immediately said excitedly: "This time, there are two generals, Yan Yan and Wang Ping, plus Ma Yan who accompanied the army, with the 30,000 elites of our army and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Wei, will definitely be able to inflict a heavy blow on the Zhao army, so that I can sleep a few more peacefully." ”After speaking, Liu Bei couldn't help but look at the three of them, and said in public: "This time, I ordered Yan Yan to be the vanguard general, Wang Ping to be the deputy general, and Ma Jian to be the marching military division and overseer, leading 30,000 soldiers and horses.After the Wei army was fully equipped, they sent troops to Hanzhong together, killed the enemy, and recaptured the lost territory in Hanzhong.If you can return victorious, I will definitely reward you lavishly, and there will be many more officials and knights, horses, good fields, and mansions. ”Yan Yan was the first to stand up, bowed his hand to Liu Bei, and swore solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if Yan Yan fights for this old life, His Majesty will definitely attack the Zhao army, and he will definitely recapture the lost territory in Hanzhong in one fell swoop, so as to strengthen the prestige of my Shu Kingdom." ”Liu Bei immediately said with great joy: "Good, good, good, with the ambition of the old general Yan Yan, why can't I worry about the lost land in Shu." ”Wang Ping, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but boil with enthusiasm: "Wang Ping will definitely assist the old general Yan Yan, and the military division will go all out to fight the Zhao army, and if you don't regain the lost territory, if you don't drive those Zhao troops out of Hanzhong, you will definitely return to Shu." ”At the same time, Ma Tan on the side also stood up in front of everyone after Yan Yan and Wang Ping, and said excitedly to Liu Bei: "Ma Tan is free to read the art of war poems and books, and has been following the prime minister since he joined the army, and has experienced dozens of large and small wars before and after, and he can be regarded as accumulating a lot of experience.This time, with the assistance of the two generals Yan Yan and Wang Ping, Ma Jian must lead our army to kill the Zhao army and recapture Hanzhong. ”After Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but laugh loudly and said: "Hahaha, although I have been bumpy and displaced all my life, it is very hard to get to this position today and establish our Shu Kingdom."
But all of this is because of your assistance, I, Liu Bei, can achieve today's position.It is easy to establish, but it is much more difficult to defend, and in the future, the great cause of my Shu Kingdom will have to be guarded by all the generals and ministers. ”Afterwards, on the order of Liu Bei, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang personally wrote a letter and sent it to Cao Pi, inviting Cao Pi to send 30,000 soldiers and horses to Hanzhong to support the battle against the Zhao army.In order to make Cao Pi cut off his guard, Zhuge Liang also took the lead in ordering the soldiers to transport the supplementary grain and grass originally given to the Wei army in advance, and deliberately added an extra 50,000 stones, which was enough for the Wei army to support for a long time.Holding Zhuge Liang's letter in his hand, and just after listening to Liu Ye's report, Cao Pi couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart at this moment, and immediately asked Liu Ye to suppress his anger: "Lord Liu Ye, you said that the Shu army's Fa Zheng and Wei Yan really did this" Liu Ye immediately said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, even if Liu Ye has ten guts, he does not dare to joke with His Majesty about this matter."
Because the Shu army's minister Fa Zheng made a mistake in his plan, resulting in General Le Jin and other soldiers being captured by Ma Chao, in order to shirk responsibility, Fa Zheng and Wei Yan joined forces to kill dozens of lives of our soldiers who survived and escaped.Only one person escaped, quietly returned to the barracks, and told me about it, otherwise, I am afraid that Liu Ye will also be kept in the dark. ”This time, Liu Ye was captured in Lejin, and after being informed of this matter by a cronie who escaped from Lejin, he led more than 100 soldiers to leave the west city of Hanzhong and return to Yizhou early the next morning.The excuse that Liu Ye made up when he came back to Fa Zheng and Wei Yan was to report the news of Lejin's defection to His Majesty.In the face of Liu Ye's words, Fa Zheng and Wei Yan didn't say much, thinking in their hearts that a small Wei army adviser couldn't afford to make any waves, so they would let Liu Ye return to Yizhou.If, if Fa Zheng and Wei Yan learned that Liu Ye came back, it was to Cao Pi, they would definitely be very angry in their hearts, no matter how powerful Liu Ye was, the two would not let him come back alive.After confirming Liu Ye's words, you can imagine how angry Cao Pi should be, no matter who was present, Cao Pi immediately grabbed the thing next to him, smashed it on the ground, and said angrily at the same time: "The hateful Shu army, how dare you do this to our soldiers, you really look down on me Cao Pi and Wei Guohu" After speaking, Cao Pi seemed to suddenly be ruthless, and shouted: "Bastard, gather soldiers and horses for me, I want to teach these Shu troops a lesson, don't let them think that our Wei State is so easy to bully, is it possible that they think that my Wei State is really unpopular" Seeing that Cao Pi was angry, and seemed to be desperate to break with the Shu army, Liu Ye on the side hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, slow down." ”Hearing Liu Ye's dissuasion, Cao Pi couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why did Lord Liu Ye stop me, isn't there something wrong?"
”only listened to Liu Ye, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the Shu army has done such a disloyal and unrighteous thing to our Wei army this time, but at the moment, our Wei army has no place to stand.If we break with the Shu army at this time, we will be forced to a dead end, after all, our soldiers and people are not able to stabilize the problem of hunger and food at the moment.Once the war starts, it will not be able to ease, and the men and horses of the Shu army will not provide us with food. ”As soon as Liu Ye's voice fell, Cao Pi's face suddenly became particularly ugly, and he said in his heart: "What's the problem, do we have to continue like this, let those Shu troops bully us like this" Liu Ye hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't panic, although we can't break with the Shu army's men and horses at the moment, but we can wait for an opportunity."
This time, when I heard that the Zhao army was coming, with the strength of Shu alone, it was impossible to compete with those Zhao troops.We can take advantage of those Shu armies, when they are in a big battle with the Zhao army, and send troops in the rear to capture the entire Yizhou important place in one fell swoop.At that time, we can use these places as the place where our Wei State will raise troops.With the soldiers and horses of our Wei State, and the generals and ministers, if we can occupy Yizhou, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we will definitely be able to make a comeback. ”After Liu Ye's analysis this time, everyone present showed a trace of excitement, just because Liu Ye's words really reminded everyone.If you can lurk here, take advantage of the war between the Shu army and the Zhao army, and send troops to take the capital of the entire Yizhou Shu State in one fell swoop, it would really be good for the Wei State.Cao Pi suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "But this time, the Shu army has sent Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, to write a letter to me, inviting my Wei to send troops to Hanzhong with him to attack the Zhao army.If it is according to Lord Liu Ye's meaning, I am afraid that even if we want to hide this time, we will not be able to dodge.It's just that the Shu army really dares to open its mouth and ask for 30,000 soldiers and horses from us at once, is it possible that this Shu army plans to hollow out us little by little If we continue like this, the soldiers and horses of our Wei army will be exhausted by those Shu troops sooner or later. ”Liu Ye hurriedly persuaded: "After all, this time we are using the land of Yizhou in Shu to eat others with short hands and soft hands with others."
If we can't send troops and horses to assist in the face of Shu's invitation this time, I'm afraid it will easily cause misunderstanding among the Shu army, and it will also make the Shu army suspicious of us.If Your Majesty plans to use this place to secretly develop the soldiers and horses of our Wei State in the future, you must know how to forbear, and only in this way can you create opportunities for seizing Yizhou in the future. ”"Since the Shu army sent men and horses to urge us this time, and wanted us to send troops to assist and go to Hanzhong to attack the Zhao army together, then we agreed to them.It's just that the Shu army wants us to send 30,000 troops, so we only send 10,000 horses.If the Shu army asks, His Majesty can say that because the soldiers are short of food and cannot be full, many of them want to withdraw from the army and go to the fields to farm because they can't support it, so that they can exchange some grain for a good harvest. ”After hearing Liu Ye's words, Cao Pi immediately rejoiced: "Haha, worthy of Mr.
Liu Ye, this strategy is really wonderful."
Presumably, even if the Shu army has objections, it can't refute it. ”Although the problem in front of him was temporarily solved, Cao Pi couldn't help but show a trace of sadness in his heart again: "It's just that this time we led troops and horses to Hanzhong with the Shu army to fight with the Zhao army, who should we send to go as well" Just when Cao Pi's voice fell, suddenly Sima Yi on one side couldn't help but stand up, bowed to Cao Pi, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister can recommend a person, this person is brave, loyal and warlike, and his martial arts can be regarded as a pillar in the army, compared to the second general of Shu Guoguan Zhang. ”Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Sima Yi and said: "Oh, there are such fierce generals in our army, why I don't know, isn't it that Lord Sima has been hiding and tucking in" After speaking, Cao Pi said excitedly to Sima Yi again: "Which fierce general is it, tell me quickly, so as to solve my inner worries." ”And as Cao Pi's question opened, everyone at the scene condensed their eyes on Sima Yi, waiting for Sima Yi's opening, and it seemed that everyone was looking forward to Sima Yi's answer.Perhaps seeing that his goal of attracting everyone had worked, he saw Sima Yi smile slightly, and then opened his mouth at Cao Pi and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this person is General Niu Jin, the general of my Wei army." ”After Sima Yi finished speaking, everyone at the scene couldn't help but be stunned, some people couldn't help but look at each other, and a few people were particularly calm after hearing Sima Yi's words, and they seemed to know Niu Jin very well about the situation, but they didn't know whether they agreed with Sima Yi's words
