Chapter 265 Two birds with one stone
Seeing Qin Yuan's expression, Master Sima knew what he was thinking, and said quickly: "General Qin, don't get me wrong. The general was not notified of this matter in advance because there will inevitably be spies from the Wu people in the military camp. If we let him know in advance,
General Qin knew it, so it would be difficult for him to fake it, so he concealed it in advance, hoping that the general would not mind."
Qin Yuan nodded to express his understanding. Having said that, if Qin Yuan had known everything in advance, it would not have been natural and would have been easily discovered by Wu spies lurking in the Wei camp.
Now this situation has been seen by the spies of the Wu State, and they have reported it to the Wu Army Camp a long time ago. If he had been informed in advance, all the previous efforts would have been in vain.
Master Sima said: "This time I have made General Qin suffer. However, if it succeeds this time, General Qin will have done a great job and will be rewarded by the court."
Qin Yuan immediately held up his hands and said: "It doesn't matter if you suffer a little physical pain. At the end of the day, I will be able to serve the great governor, even if I die!"
Master Sima smiled slightly and said: "The reason why the Governor chose General Qin was because of his character and mind. This time he went deep into the Wu army, which was extremely dangerous. He had to be loyal to the imperial court. He must be selected."
The governor believes that General Qin must be responsible for this matter. After you arrive at Wu Camp, you need to do this..."
Master Sima lowered his voice and gave instructions in Qin Yuan's ear.
Qin Yuan lowered his head to his ears, nodded repeatedly, and then with an excited look on his face, he cupped his hands and said: "The Governor and the Major General trust me so much that I am willing to kill myself in repayment just in case!"
Master Sima patted him on the shoulder and said: "General Qin only needs to act according to the plan. I have four subordinates here, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. They will pretend to be General Qin's followers. At critical moments, they can also
Protect General Qin’s safety.”
Having said that, Master Sima summoned the four guards standing not far behind him. They were all dressed in the ordinary clothes of Wei soldiers. Master Sima said to the four of them: "Four of you, follow General Qin up the mountain immediately, and obey everything."
General Qin’s instructions, remember, General Qin’s safety must be guaranteed no matter what the circumstances.”
The four of them accepted the promise.
Qin Yuan took a look and found that these four people were indeed very capable. They must be Sima Shi's personal guards with extraordinary skills. Qin Yuan was very grateful and said: "Don't worry, young general. I will be lucky to live up to my command."
Master Sima said: "Okay, it's getting late. You'd better set off early. General Qin, I will personally hold a banquet to celebrate your victory on the day of victory."
Qin Yuan bowed his hands and said goodbye, leading four guards towards the Wu army's formation in Guichoujian.
Master Sima watched the backs of Qin Yuan and others disappear into the night, and the smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by a sinister and cruel look.
"Cao Liang, let's see if you are lucky enough to escape again this time!" Master Sima whispered to himself through gritted teeth.
At some point, a man appeared next to Master Sima. He was not wearing the uniform of the Wei army, but was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, decorated with ornaments, and made a jingling sound, which was very pleasant to the ears.
The man said leisurely: "I'm afraid Qin Yuan never dreamed that once he leaves, there will be no turning back."
Master Sima chuckled and said, "Shi Ji, isn't this your clever plan?"
The person who came was none other than Zhong Hui and Zhong Shiji. Zhong Hui had not reached the rank of weak crown and had not entered the official position. This time, he only came to serve as Sima Yi's staff in a private capacity because of his good personal relationship with Sima Shi and went with the army on the expedition.
Zhong Hui smiled slightly and said: "The young general has always been obsessed with revenge. I should help the young general solve his problems. This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. The young general can not only get rid of his enemies, but also kill the enemy and make meritorious service. Why not do it? As for this Qin Dynasty
Yuan, the young general has never seen this person before. He has surrendered to the enemy and treason, so naturally everyone can find and punish him."
An Fengdu failed to frame Cao Liang, and Master Sima had already been burning in his heart, thinking about how to deal with him, but Sima Yi did not allow him to act rashly, so Master Sima could only wait for the opportunity.
Today, when the Wei army failed to attack, Sima Yi was so angry that he whipped Qin Yuan. Zhong Hui looked on and suddenly had a plan in his mind. He turned around and discussed with Sima Shi that he could use Qin Yuan as a trick to make him lead the Southern Army.
The route map of the food supply was to go to the Wu army and use Zhuge Ke's hand to get rid of Cao Liang. Moreover, Sima Division could also ambush on one side in advance and wait for Zhuge Ke to kill Cao Liang before sending troops to repel the Wu army.
It can be regarded as a credit.
When Master Sima heard about Zhong Hui's two-bird-with-one-stone plan, he was immediately interested and called him a brilliant plan.
Zhuge Ke must be interested in the Wei army's food routes. If he can destroy the Wei army's food routes and destroy their food and grass, he will definitely be able to force the Wei army to retreat.
Of course, Zhuge Ke is more interested in Cao Liang. This person is his father-killing enemy. Zhuge Ke has long wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately he has no chance. Now if Cao Liang's whereabouts were informed to Zhuge Ke
, Zhuge Ke would probably risk sending troops even if he knew it was a trick.
After Zhuge Ke got rid of Cao Liang, Sima Division again led his troops to repel the Wu army and snatched back the grain and grass. Wouldn't it be true that such a credit would fall on his head in vain? Why not kill two birds with one stone?
This matter has no risk at all for Master Sima. If Zhuge Ke sees through the trick, the sacrifice will be just Qin Yuan, and at most four dead soldiers of his Sima family. This loss is as much as Sima's.
The teacher will gain benefits, it is simply a matter of clouds and mud.
What's more, Qin Yuan is already a dead man in the eyes of Master Sima. Even if the Wu people don't kill him, the dead men arranged by Master Sima will get rid of him at the appropriate time, and he will never be allowed to return to Wei.
In the military camp.
Qin Yuan is an important witness. He is the only one who knows that Master Sima used Cao Liang as bait. If he survives for one more day, he will be a huge threat to Master Sima. Only the dead can keep secrets, so Qin Yuan left the Wei army camp and
It is a road of no return.
As for this plan, Master Sima is not ready to tell Sima Yi yet. First, Master Sima knows that Sima Yi is too cautious and is not completely sure. He will not take action easily. If he tells Sima Yi and Sima Yi wants to stop his actions, then
Master Sima had all his previous efforts wasted. Secondly, Master Sima was planning to go it alone this time because he wanted to prove himself in front of Sima Yi. He wanted to put his credit in front of Sima Yi. He wanted to tell his father that he had the ability to stand alone.
Able.
Master Sima was very ambitious this time. He and Zhong Hui repeatedly studied the details of the entire plan and tried to make it foolproof.
