Chapter 1297 Only the dead have seen his full strength
Chapter 1,297 Only the dead have seen his full strength
This is Sima Yi's typical rhetoric.
Because I was unsure and didn't dare to draw a conclusion, I used a more tactful way to try to get something out of Wenpin's mouth.
But Wenpin didn't accept this trick.
Yes, Wenpin, who was known as the Iron Turtle, didn't care about these fancy tricks. The order he received was to simply tell Cao Pi and Sima Yi about the military information in Shouchun.
As for the so-called assessment...that thing has nothing to do with him.
"No one knows the full story of Mr. Yi's plan. I am only following orders. Since you have already made a judgment, why do you need to ask me?"
"If nothing happens, I'll say goodbye."
He said he was saying goodbye, but in fact Wenpin didn't even wait for Sima Yi to speak again, and just rushed out of the government office.
Seeing Wenpin get on his horse and disappear outside the door in the blink of an eye, Sima Yi and Cao Pi who chased them could only stay there and stare.
"Zhongda...you said..."
Cao Pi was already stupid. He had experienced too many tests in the past two days. His mind was really unable to turn around, so he could only place his hope on Sima Yi beside him.
The key is…
The key is that they also want to ask others for help, and want to find out more about the situation ahead, especially what Yi Xiaotian is thinking.
But... because they have devoted all their experience in interacting with people in the past six months, Shouchun officials followed Cao Pi's lead, and naturally they no longer had the well-informed information they had in the past.
The only ones who can be considered useful are a few important figures. Jiang Ji and Wenpin are not around all year round. It seems that their departure was also Cao Cao's intention. As for Zhang Liao... As soon as the letter arrived yesterday, Sima Yi immediately revised it and asked Zhang Liao. Not only did he not receive it today,
reply…
I also met Wenpin, who had been away for a long time, and learned that Zhang Liao was not in Hefei at all.
This is the biggest problem.
Sima Yi's face was ashen now.
He realized that his initial plan might have made mistakes, because he always wanted to do a good job in academic performance evaluation, so he did not let Cao Pi care about those simple-minded military ministers and generals.
If they had been involved with Zhang Liao and others from the beginning, how could they be so blind now?
It wasn't until the war... that Sima Yi discovered that Bai Wuyi was a scholar. Today, as usual, there were still an endless stream of Shouchun officials who complimented them and chatted with them, but... but what use were these people?
When it was their turn to go into battle, these people were still blind.
This is certainly not directed at civil servants.
There is a group of top-notch civil servants around Cao Cao. They are also making suggestions for Cao Cao and planning routes for transporting various grain and equipment for the war, but these have nothing to do with the present.
At this time, Sima Yi suddenly remembered what Yi Xiaotian once said to him:
"The measure should be larger, the vision should be higher, and don't just focus on one corner and miss the whole..."
At that time, I just thought that Yi Xiaotian was saying that his knowledge was shallow, but now Sima Yi realized...that there was a problem in his overall view.
How can we be so sure that the content of the assessment is coursework?
How can you bet on this without any scruples and without any sense of crisis?
It's too late to say anything now.
"Zhongda!!"
There was a cry in Cao Pi's voice, he was really helpless.
When he saw that the building was about to collapse, that the energy he had put in for most of the year was in vain, and that all his efforts were in vain... what else could he do except ask Sima Yi for help?
"Lord...Lord...you...don't panic first...I...I have another way."
Sima Yi's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
He still has a way...but it's not a solution to the problem, it's just a compromise to stop losses.
"Speak quickly! Speak quickly! Tell me whatever you can do! As long as it can save the defeat! As long as..."
Cao Pi couldn't imagine what would happen if he failed him in the assessment.
In the past two years, among all the knowledge that Sima Yi and Cui Lin have instilled in themselves, there is a clear one...that is, no matter who ascends to the final throne, the rest of the people who have competed with him are destined to end in a dismal ending.
.
He didn't want to die...even though Cao Ang said it himself, he didn't want to see brothers killing each other.
But Cao Pi couldn't believe what his elder brother said.
After all, he had already treated him like this. Let alone competing with him, if Cao Ang knew that he had used various means to discredit him behind his back, how could Cao Ang let him go?
The great situation turned upside down... I can't blame Cao Pi for his collapse.
"As long as we do this...this way...then...no matter what...we will have an excuse to say..."
Sima Yi pulled Cao Pi over and whispered something in his ear. Judging from Cao Pi's expression changing from despair to helplessness, you can probably tell...this should be their last remedy.
"Is there no other way?"
Cao Pi's voice revealed endless exhaustion.
"Master... we have such a huge advantage in front of us... as long as... as long as we don't make mistakes in the end, everything will be easy..."
"Let's pack up our things first. We can't delay any longer. Fortunately, General Wenpin has brought some military information from the front. Otherwise... there is really no way."
Listening to Sima Yi's loose words, Cao Pi wanted to curse but couldn't say it... He couldn't blame Sima Yi... let alone his mentor who was far away in Yecheng... If he wanted to blame... he could only blame himself for being too indecisive...
——
On the other side, just as Wen Ping said.
Sima Yi's letter had just arrived in Hefei, but Zhang Liao had already fought a hearty victory.
As former rivals, it was even said that the two sides had fought to the death on the battlefield, but the cooperation between Zhang Liao and Zhu Huan was a rare tacit understanding.
They did not meet face to face, but relied on some signals and simple commands to join forces and beat Chen Shi's navy to flight.
However, in the final analysis...the power of the large ships is still there. When the ships move, Sun and Cao's coalition forces, which only have a few medium-sized ships, are already beyond their reach.
Of course, a victory is a victory. In this battle, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Chen Shi's troops were once again reduced.
After all the calculations, the Liu family navy, which once had hundreds of warships and more than 30,000 elite soldiers, now only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only a pitiful 30 warships. It can be said that the victory of these battles can be regarded as Liu Bei's defeat.
All the money invested in the navy over the years has been wiped out.
But this... it's still not over.
Zhang Liao, Zhu Huan and others began to pursue in a tacit understanding, forcing Chen Shi not to dare to stop.
Next stop…
What Chen Shi and others thought was that Wankou City had an even more unimaginable ambush waiting for them.
It can only be said that Yi Xiaotian has always been true to his word. He said he would kill Liu Bei in one fell swoop, so he would show no mercy at this critical moment.
