Chapter 39 Controversy in the Public Security City
Sima Yi's plan was naturally excellent, but this plan also ended the life of the famous general in Cao Cao's heart who was in love with him.
When Guan Yu's troops besieged Fancheng before, Sima Yi had offered him a plan to form an alliance with Sun Quan.
But at that time, Sima Yi only thought that after Sun Quan sent troops, Guan Yu would retreat.
At that time, he just wanted to finally relieve the siege of Fancheng.
Today, Sima Yi once again offered advice to Cao Cao and reiterated the importance of forming an alliance with Sun Quan.
But this time, Sima Yi suggested that Cao Cao take the initiative to cut off Guan Yu's way of survival.
Because that time was different from today, Cao Cao's army had not yet been assembled, so Sima Yi thought that as long as he could repel Guan Yu, it would be good.
But now, in Mobei alone, Cao Cao has summoned a hundred thousand troops,
With this kind of trump card in hand, Sima Yi felt that there was no need to keep Guan Yu as a serious problem.
Although Cao Cao felt pity for Guan Yu, as the master of the Wei State, he had to consider the future of the Wei State.
Since his family knew about his family affairs, Cao Cao felt that his health was getting worse and worse since the beginning of winter this year.
If one day he dies, will his son Zihuan be able to defeat Guan Yu with his talents?
Whether from the perspective of being a king or a father, Cao Cao would not leave Guan Yu as a serious problem.
Guan Yu's military exploits that shocked China this year even made him dream about it.
Cao Cao felt that if he did not get rid of this serious worry, one day Cao Wei's deer would be obtained by Guan Yu.
"Zhongda's words are deeply in my heart."
Cao Cao's affirmation meant that he finally accepted Sima Yi's plan to wipe out the family.
After making a decision in his heart, Cao Cao no longer hesitated and immediately ordered,
"Zitong, I have ordered you to be the guard of the army. With my orders, you can go south and head to the front line."
"If Gongming has not gone out to fight yet, you can order him to hold on and not go out with the solitary festival order."
"If Gongming has gone to war and been defeated, Qianchi Gujie will inform Zi Xiao in Fancheng and Lu Chang in Xiangyang City.
Let them no matter what method they use, they must still slow down the speed of Guan Yu's army's retreat southward."
The person Cao Cao mentioned as Zi Tong was Jiang Ji, who is currently the Prime Minister's Chief Registrar.
After Jiang Ji received Cao Cao's royal order, he immediately went out to take orders.
After taking the talisman representing Cao Cao, he immediately left the tent and hurried south.
After Jiang Ji left, Cao Cao then ordered to the ministers in the tent:
"Instruct the three armies to prepare meals tomorrow at five o'clock, assemble at dawn, and set off at dawn.
Gu Yao personally led the army south to conquer Guan Yu."
Hearing that Cao Cao actually wanted to conquer Guan Yu himself instead of choosing another general to go south as Sima Yi suggested, all the officials in the tent were shocked.
The reason why Cao Cao chose to fight in person was because he felt that no one under his command could be Guan Yu's opponent.
Only if he does it in person can he possibly defeat Guan Yu.
If anyone wants to seize Cao's deer, let Cao Mengde finish it with his own hands.
Everyone could see that Cao Cao had made up his mind, so no one came out to dissuade him.
Then Cao Cao issued several orders in succession,
"The imperial edict was passed down: Order the general Zhang He of the Dang bandits to supervise the troops in Guanzhong to attack Hanzhong. Liu Bei must be asked to send troops to rescue Hanzhong."
"Passed Gu's edict: Order Zhang Liao, the general who conquered the east, to march quickly. He must arrive at Fancheng to join Gu within half a month. If he doesn't expect it, he will be killed."
"Public Guzhao: Order Prince Pi to recruit new soldiers in Hebei, raise food and grass, and send them to Xudu before next month to wait for orders."
Cao Cao issued three royal orders in succession, which once again shocked the ministers in the tent.
How much did the King of Wei value Guan Yu?
In order to conquer Guan Yu alone, the King of Wei mobilized almost all the forces he could mobilize in the country today.
And he did this just to take off Guan Yu's head.
Whenever Cao Cao issued a royal order, a secretary would quickly write it down in the tent.
Then after polishing it, Shu Zuo handed Cao Cao's royal order to the messengers outside the tent and ordered them to go and deliver the message.
These three royal orders all use golden feathered arrows, which represent the highest level of military emergency in Cao Wei's army today.
After issuing three royal orders, Cao Cao gave Sima Yi a last, thoughtful look, and then he said,
"Passing the order of Gu: Instruct Prime Minister Sima Yi of the Army to go to Jiangdong as an envoy, once again bring the good intentions of the Gu Alliance, and supervise Sun Quan's plan to advance the army."
As soon as Cao Cao's royal order came out, Sima Yi immediately raised his head and looked at Cao Cao in confusion.
But when he saw the determination in Cao Cao's eyes, he suppressed his confusion and dissatisfaction deep in his heart.
Then he bowed to Cao Cao and said,
"Yi takes orders."
After the four royal orders were issued, Cao Cao felt a little tired, so he asked the ministers in the tent to retreat.
When Sima Yi left, Cao Cao stared at his lonely back,
Three horses in the same trough,
"Sima is also a horse."
After Sima Yi left Cao Cao's Chinese army tent, he returned to his sleeping tent.
After returning to his sleeping tent, Sima Yi saw no one else around, so he angrily overturned the desk in front of him.
Sima Yi's sudden and violent behavior frightened a child in the sleeping tent.
This boy is Sima Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi.
Although Master Sima was young, he was quite precocious because of his well-educated family.
Seeing that Sima Yi was angry, he immediately came over to help Sima Yi sit down, and then asked Sima Yi with concern,
"Father, were you scolded by King Wei today?"
Sima Yi was summoned by Cao Cao to discuss the matter, and Master Sima knew it.
When he saw Sima Yi acting angry after returning from the meeting, he thought Sima Yi had been scolded by Cao Cao.
Sima Yi did not respond to Sima Shi's inquiry.
Even his eldest son, Sima Yi, who was thoughtful, had no intention of telling Master Sima why he was angry.
If Cao Cao scolded Sima Yi, he would not be angry.
But now Cao Cao sent him as an envoy to Jiangdong, which was completely unacceptable to him.
Guan Yu shot an arrow and made the alliance between Cao Cao and Sun Quan public. Sima Yi didn't know whose plan it was.
But he knew that this person had evil intentions.
This is a conspiracy to alienate the alliance between Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
Sun Quan just sent an envoy to tell Cao Cao not to leak this matter.
As a result, before his envoy arrived, Guan Yu already knew about his alliance with Cao Cao.
How would Sun Quan feel about this?
After all, Sun Quan was a prince. He formed an alliance with Cao Cao with good intentions, but was betrayed by Cao Cao. Sun Quan must be feeling angry now.
At this time, when he arrived in Jiangdong as Cao Cao's envoy, Sun Quan would definitely be suspicious of him.
If someone instigates him, Sun Quan might kill himself!
Cao Cao is asking himself to jump into the fire pit. This is the real reason for Sima Yi's anger.
He didn't understand why Cao Cao was still worried about him even though he was doing his best.
Thinking of this, a trace of hatred flashed through the angry Sima Yi.
His eagle eyes gradually emitted a cold, wolf-like look.
Mi Yang still doesn't know about Cao Cao and Sima Yi's plan, but he is currently worried about something.
Looking at Guan Ping and Yu Jin who were arguing constantly in the conference hall,
Mi Yang sighed in his heart, it's not easy to be handsome like this.
Seeing Guan Ping and Yu Jin arguing constantly, they gradually started to take action.
Mi Yang was afraid that Yu Jin would be stabbed to death by Guan Ping.
He shouted loudly in time,
"enough!"
Mi Yang shouted loudly, finally making the two people stop temporarily.
