The next day, Emperor Wei Cao Rui began to discuss who to send to support Sima Cao Xiu.
However, this time the commander of the army sent by Emperor Wei Cao Rui was not Bai Ren, but Bai Ren's archrival Sima Yi.
As the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Rui already deeply understood the emperor's strategy of checks and balances.
The so-called earth king not only had to control the ministers, but also needed the ministers to restrain each other.
Before Cao Rui ascended the throne and became an emperor, he spent many days living in Bai Ren's mansion.
Cao Rui spent his childhood in Bai Ren's mansion.
Regarding her adoptive father, Cao Rui clearly understood that she hated Sima Yi very much.
Similarly, Sima Yi also disliked Bai Ren very much.
Now Bai Ren can be said to be one of the top ministers in the entire imperial court.
Although he does not have much power, he has the responsibilities of serving as the Taiwei and Taifu at the same time, which makes all civil and military officials very envious.
At this time, Cao Rui asked Sima Yi to take his troops to support Cao Xiu in Huainan.
On the one hand, he wanted to use Sima Yi to restrain Bai Ren.
On the other hand, Bai Ren had served as the guard in the Huainan area for almost ten years.
Now Cao Rui As an emperor, he would not let such an influential minister go to Huainan, let alone let him take control of his army.
"Your Majesty, don't worry.
I will definitely do my best to support Sima."
Sima Yi received Cao Rui's instructions from Cao Rui, who was sitting on the dragon throne.
He slightly looked at Bai Ren aside, and found that the other party looked a little indifferent.
His smile was not too dissatisfying, so he replied to Cao Rui.
Bai Ren was secretly happy after hearing the news that Cao Rui asked Sima Yi to lead troops to support the great Sima Cao Xiu.
The relationship between the aristocratic families represented by Sima Yi and Chen Qun and the Cao family represented by Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen is now very tense. , Bai Ren would not believe that Sima Yi would do his best to support Cao Xiu, but Bai Ren thought that Sima Yi would secretly add insult to injury.
The morning court ended quickly, and Sima Yiyuan took the military talisman in the hand of Emperor Cao Rui, and hurriedly took his soldiers and horses, slowly setting off from Luoyang, and quickly headed towards the Huainan area.
Along the way, Sima Yi had a smile on his face.
He gently touched the ancient tiger charm in his hand.
Looking at the slowly moving army behind him, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This tiger talisman is a good thing.
Sima Yi was riding on the war horse, his eyes were slightly squinted, and then he looked at the tiger talisman in his hand.
He felt proud in his heart, and the ambition that had been suppressed for a long time slowly burned in his heart.
Since Sima Yi took refuge with Cao Cao in the twelfth year of Jian'an, he has never been in charge of the army alone.
He has always followed Cao Cao's side to make suggestions as an army counselor.
Sima Yi thought that his ability was good, not much worse than Bai Ren, but he had no chance to truly control the army.
Sima Yi also knew very well that Cao Cao and Cao Pi were guarding him.
Even Cao Rui now ordered him to lead the army for the sake of Check and balance Bai Ren.
"The weather is hot now, let's go to the woods ahead and rest for a while."
It was already noon, Sima Yi was riding on his horse, looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, his eyes showed a hint of treachery, and his face was a little calm.
He gave orders to his soldiers.
The army, which had been on the road for almost a morning, suddenly smiled when they heard the news, and quickly speeded up to rest in the woods ahead.
At this time, Sima Yi looked at his soldiers wearing their armor and sitting under the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness.
He also silently got off his horse and found a stone to sit down with a calm expression.
"Father, it is urgent for us to support Huainan now.
How can we rest here?"
At this moment, a very ordinary-looking young man wearing armor came to the place where Sima Yi sat down and looked at him who was resting.
Sima Yi asked Sima Yi in a low tone.
This man was Sima Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi, and also the deputy general of the army.
Sima Yi specially brought his eldest son to train him in the army.

He learned this from Bai Ren.
Sima Yi looked at what his eldest son said, and his expression suddenly became a little unhappy.
Then he stretched out his finger to signal his eldest son, Sima Shi, to come to him.
Master Sima watched his father Sima Yi's movements, so he carefully and slowly moved his head closer to Sima Yi's face.
"Don't say much, just watch."
Master Sima gently put his ear close to his father Sima Yi's mouth.
He suddenly heard Sima Yi's cold words and was startled.
He stepped back quickly and looked at his father.
Suddenly he found that he His father's eyes were like a wild wolf looking at him.
"It's father."
Master Sima looked at his father's wolf-like eyes and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He quickly bent down and said to Sima Yi respectfully.
At this time, in the darkness of the high ground in the distance, a man in black who was also hiding in the distance saw this situation.
He quickly took out a pen and paper from his waist, carefully wrote a letter, and then flew in from nowhere.
Doves carried the letter north.
Bai Ren was sitting in the study room of his Taiwei Mansion.
There were several tables in front of him, and the young people behind the tables were all Bai Ren's apprentices.
At this time, Bai Ren was teaching his apprentice to read.
These books were originally hidden in Chen Liu's mansion, but now they all belong to the collection of Bai Ren's mansion.
There are many books in Bai Ren's study now.
At this moment, a cooing sound came from the window.
When Bai Ren heard such a voice, he hesitated slightly, then silently put down the books in his hands, signaled his students to read by themselves, and then walked out of the study carefully.
In a pavilion outside the study, a white pigeon was resting and cheering.
There was a bird's food cage on top of the pavilion, and the pigeon was eating the food inside.
Bai Ren calmly took off the pigeon, and then took out the letter from the pigeon's leg.
He silently read the contents of the letter, and suddenly a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Sima Yi, Sima Yi, as expected.
Since I am taking this opportunity to delay time, it is also a very good way to use Sima Yi's hands to get rid of Cao Xiu.
Maybe I can get some information by then, and even Sima Yi will come with me.
Stir.
Outside Shouchun City, Cao Xiu had already assembled his troops.
He was preparing to send troops to defeat Soochow in one fell swoop.
Now Cao Xiu has made an agreement with Zhou Yi to first attack Lujiang City in the north of Soochow, then attack Jianye, Wujun, Kuaiji and other cities all the way north, and finally, attack all the land east of Jiangdong in one fell swoop.
"Has Grand Sima decided to prepare to send out troops?"
Bu Zhao quietly came to the city gate with the officials in Shouchun City.
Looking at Cao Xiu's proud face, he asked Cao Xiu in a somewhat doubtful tone. .
Cao Xiu looked at Bu Zhi, and at the well-organized army under his command that had been prepared outside the city, with a proud smile on his lips, and then said with some pride to Bu Zhi in front of him: "Bu Zishan, look at what you have now My army is so majestic and my Wei soldiers are so majestic.
It is a great opportunity to annex Soochow in one fell swoop.
Just guard Huainan for me and wait for my good news."
Bu Zhao looked at Cao Xiu in front of him who had made up his mind, nodded helplessly, and then looked at Cao Xiu calmly, leading his troops to leave Shouchun City and head towards Hefei in the north.
Cao Xiu was already preparing to attack Soochow with his troops, but the reinforcements led by Sima Yi were still advancing slowly at this time, and it took almost three or four days to reach Runan.
"Father, if we march continuously for a day and night, we should be able to reach Huainan."
At this time, the Sima Master was riding on his horse, looking at his father who was squinting beside him, and said in a soft tone.
"The soldiers are a little tired from marching in the past few days.
It is better to go to Runan City for a rest day before heading to Huainan."

After hearing what his son said, Sima Yi looked at Master Sima beside him calmly, and finally smiled slightly He narrowed his eyes and said in a soft tone.
Seeing his father like this, Master Sima sighed helplessly, finally nodded, and slowly entered Runan City with his soldiers
