Chapter 617 Zhongda offers a plan
"Bo Zhao, pay attention to your words, how can you be so rude to Shangshu Ling?" Cao Rui frowned when he heard this and couldn't help but give a warning.
Cao Shuang felt a little nervous and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is that I am afraid." Then he bowed and bowed to Chen Jiao: "Mr. Ji Bi, I'm sorry for your failure for a while."
"It's really human nature to say that General Wuwei is worried about his father's heart." Chen Jiao was broad-minded and did not care.
This matter was revealed, and Cao Rui returned to the main topic: "Tongguan and Hedong were blocked by Shu thieves, and the army in Guanzhong was difficult to escape, and it was very likely to be annihilated by Shu thieves. All the ministers are all talented people, so we must find a good idea for me to rescue the soldiers on the front line."
He had made up his mind to come up with a feasible strategy tonight. If he couldn't discuss it, he would sit with his ministers until dawn.
Hua Xin and other old ministers all complained in their hearts after hearing this. They had already fallen asleep, but when they heard the emperor fainted, they rushed to the palace to visit. It was already late at night and everyone was already very tired. If they stayed until dawn, they would definitely lose energy tomorrow, and they would probably not be able to deal with business.
All the ministers wanted to go back early to rest, and they all thought about ways to break the situation. However, the current situation was really unfavorable to Cao Wei. They let them rack their brains and did not come up with any good ways.
Seeing that no one had any suggestions for a long time, Cao Rui felt very disappointed and still couldn't help complaining: "You are all the top scholars in the Central Plains. Can you really not compete with Zhuge Liang, Yang Qing and other small traitors?"
Hua Xin and others looked at me, and I looked at you, my face was very embarrassed, and I lowered my head and said nothing.
After a long time, Jiang Ji flashed his inspiration and looked up and said, "Your Majesty, I am short-sighted in wisdom and skills, and it is difficult to have a clever plan. But I, the Great Wei, have many talents, how can I not beat Zhuge Liang and Yang Qing?
There is a man who is not in the court, but he is proficient in strategy and extraordinary ingenuity. If His Majesty asks him for advice, he will definitely have a wonderful plan."
"Oh? Which talent are you talking about?" Cao Rui was overjoyed when he heard this and asked quickly.
Jiang Ji replied: "It's General Sima Yi."
"Oh, yes, yes, the general is able to use troops, why did I forget him? It's just that the general is far away in Wancheng, isn't it Chi Xie to summon him back to the court?"
Jiang Ji said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to ride a fast horse to Wancheng to ask General Yu for advice on Your Majesty. After receiving the reply, I will go back to Luoyang overnight. This will result in a maximum of six or seven days. Even if the Grand Sima and the others are defeated by Zhuge Liang, there should be no problem in holding on for more than ten or twenty days. This is a time that can be afforded."
"Okay, then I'll be lucky that I'll have a trip."
Jiang Ji bowed and said, "It is my duty to share your worries for Your Majesty. It is not advisable to go to Wancheng without delay. Your Majesty, please give up. Now I will rush to Wancheng."
"Okay, your family will go, and the good horses and guards in the palace will be selected."
Jiang Ji said: "Thank you, I will leave."
After he left, Cao Rui and Hua Xin and the others talked for a while before they asked everyone to go back to rest.
After that, Cao Rui felt that life was like the New Year, without thinking about tea or food. He often stood on the palace wall and looked into the south, hoping that Jiang Ji could come back soon.
However, this unbearable life only took two days. On the morning of the third day, Jiang Ji returned, giving Cao Rui a big surprise.
"Why did you come back so quickly?" Cao Rui was puzzled.
Jiang Ji hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, it turns out that the general is worried about the king's affairs and has already had a plan to rescue the troops in Guanzhong. He sent someone to Beijing a few days ago to offer advice. I met the envoy halfway and then learned the whole story."
"So that's it." Cao Rui suddenly realized and couldn't help but praise: "General, he is a real pillar of the country."
Hua Xin looked at Jiang Ji and said anxiously: "Zi Tong, what kind of tricks Zhongda has? Tell me quickly." The other ministers were also curious, and they all raised their ears and waited for the answer.
"Your Majesty, all the Dukes, the General has ordered the governor of Jingzhou Wuqiu Jian to lead ten thousand troops to make a big splash, claiming to be 30,000, to march Shangyong and Xicheng, and to make a move to attack Hanzhong again to lure Zhuge Liang into division of troops and to reduce the pressure on Guanzhong.
He himself led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to Guanzhong through martial arts four days ago to help the Grand Sima and the others." Jiang Jidao.
Chen Qun said: "It's amazing, Zhongda's plan is very wonderful! We just want the army in Guanzhong to return to Luoyang from Tongguan and Hedong line east, but forgot that we could also let the Grand Sima and the others go to Wuguan Road to retreat south to Jingzhou. I was really negligent, but Zhongda was still thinking carefully."
"Yes, the Wuguan Road is not only not blocked by the Sichuan thieves, but also our King of Jingzhou can also go north from the Wuguan Road to respond. The Grand Sima and his friends evacuated through this road is indeed the best strategy." Sun Zi said with agreement.
Liu Fang analyzed: "The Wuguan Road is only four or five hundred miles long. The army can reach Guanzhong within ten days. The general has been walking for four days, and it must have been halfway through the journey. At this time, the thieves of Shu have no sign of notice. Once the general and the others appear in Lantian, the divine weapons will fall from the sky, which can catch Zhuge Liang off guard."
"Well, in this way, it should not be difficult to rescue the Grand Sima and the others, and I feel a little relieved." With the plan to break the situation, Cao Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief and his tone of speech became lighter.
Jiang Ji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the general also suggested that the court increase its troops in Hedong and make the illusion of crossing the river to rescue Guanzhong, so as to disrupt Zhuge Liang's sight and further cover the general to enter Guanzhong through Wuguan Road."
"Well, this three-pronged approach can be guaranteed, I agree."
Jiang Ji said again: "Your Majesty, this is a memorial brought by the general to the envoy. In addition to the three strategies mentioned earlier, the general also asked His Majesty to punish him for sending troops without an imperial edict." After that, he took out a sealed book from his arms and handed it to the small yellow gate who came.
Cao Rui took the book and opened it. It was indeed Sima Yi's apologies. After reading it, he felt a little dissatisfaction in his heart. He smiled with a hearty smile: "Haha, the general is really a loyal minister.
In fact, the general was the commander of the Eastern Route Army. The responsibility of attacking Shu had not yet been removed, so sending troops early was within his power.
Then I would like to ask for an order. The long journey will inevitably lead to delays and delays in the fight. The general used his troops decisively and attacked in advance. Not only will he be guilty, but he will be rewarded. When the war is over, I will reward him."
"The wise and wise are nothing better than your Majesty." The ministers praised them in unison.
Cao Rui was greatly benefited, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "No matter how late, the court must act quickly according to the general's clever plan. Zhao Bo ordered you to lead 20,000 central army to Bingzhou for reinforcements, and made the illusion of passing through Hedong to Fengyi to meet your father, so as to confuse the thieves of Shu."
"I obey the order." Cao Shuang hurriedly accepted the order.
Cao Rui said again: "In addition, he sent an order to General Cavalry, and ordered him to divide his troops to cooperate with General Wuwei to act. Of course, Tongguan also needs to continue to attack fiercely. If it is broken, the situation in Guanzhong may still be reversed. Even if it fails, it will further confuse Zhuge Liang."
"Your Majesty is very wise, and this way it will be more perfect than the general's plan." Hua Xin praised.
Others also felt this and expressed compliments. The atmosphere in the hall changed from the solemnity of the previous few days and suddenly became relaxed.
