Chapter 820: Second Cao's Identity Revealed

In the Sikong mansion, there was a young scribe kneeling in front of Cao Cao.

This person bowed to the ground tremblingly, his whole body was full of fear and uneasiness.

It was 'Cao Er', the Xianbei military commander who escaped from Guanzhong.

Cao Cao's eyes showed a deep look of disappointment, and secretly sighed that he was wrong this time.

What it means to be famous is actually hard to live up to, this time I have personally experienced it!

Especially seeing this submissive look, Cao Cao was even more angry.

"You...get up."

After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao still had no words to reprimand.

There is no way, who let this person be appointed by him forcibly!

"Thank you, Sikong!"

Guo Jia hurried forward with an anxious look on his face.

"Zhongda, what's going on?"

This Cao Er is undoubtedly a pseudonym, but his real identity is Sima Yi, the son of Jing Zhaoyin Sima Fang.

Sima Yi, courtesy name Zhongda, was the second son of the Sima family in Hanoi.

A few months ago, Cao Cao wanted to appoint Zhong Yao as an envoy to go to Guanzhong to plan, but Zhong Yao was good at political strategy and alliance, and was not very good at military strategy.

Zhong Yao's trip to Guanzhong can at most stabilize the internal stability of the Xianbei people, but it is absolutely difficult for him to defeat Liu Zhang.

But without Zhong Yao, Cao Cao didn't know who to send there for a while.

Of course Guo Jia couldn't do it, he wanted to fight Yuan Shao with him.

Neither could Cheng Yu, who has an upright personality and could easily conflict with the Xianbei people.

At this time, Yang Jun, then the subordinate of Sikong Mansion, recommended Sima Yi to Cao Cao.

Yang Jun is a disciple of the great Confucian Bian Rang, he is virtuous and talented.

Although Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, Yang Jun still spared no effort to benefit the people.

Cao Cao admired Yang Jun's personality and talent.

Therefore, Cao Cao made a special effort to investigate Yang Jun's recommendation.

Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, and elder brother Sima Lang all served in the court.

After many inquiries, everyone spoke highly of Sima Yi.

Cao Cao suffers from the fact that no one is available, so he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and wants to recruit Sima Yi to ask him personally.

But no one thought that Sima Yi rejected Cao Cao without hesitation, and could not excuse his illness.

In the end, it was Guo Jia who went to Hanoi in person to persuade Sima Yi to go to Guanzhong.

Therefore, it was more difficult for Guo Jia to accept such a big defeat than Cao Cao. He knew Sima Yi's ability very well.

Guo Jia vaguely remembered that after returning from Hanoi, he still swore to Cao Cao that he would definitely cause Liu Zhang a lot of trouble!

This time it's good, it's a naked slap in the face.

Faced with Guo Jia's doubts and puzzles, Sima Yi did not answer, but still maintained a trembling look, expressing the fear in his heart.

"Okay, stop pretending!"

Guo Jia was furious immediately, he had already seen through Sima Yi, and he knew exactly why he behaved like this.

Sima Yi was embarrassed by the yelling, and then stopped performing.

He had thought that Guo Jia would stay in Hebei to take charge of affairs, but he didn't expect to follow him back.

"Military division, it's all my fault! But I have already said that I am not qualified for this task."

"Okay, okay!"

Guo Jia waved his hand impatiently, directly interrupting Sima Yi's excuse.

At this moment, Guo Jia was not in the mood to listen to Sima Yi's self-mockery, nor was he in the mood to pursue who was responsible.

"Tell me carefully, what is going on?"

"Could it be that Ke Bineng and Fu Luohan didn't follow your plan?"

The strategy Sima Yi gave the Xianbei to the enemy's Yizhou army was not his temporary idea, but a joint decision with Guo Jia after discussing it.

The defeat of the Xianbei this time not only means that Cao Cao has no knowledge of people, but also means that Guo Jia was also defeated by Liu Zhang.

Sima Yi shook his head helplessly. He also had the ambition of becoming famous in one battle.

As a result, things backfired, not only did not cause trouble to Liu Zhang, but almost died in Guanzhong!

"Military division, the Xianbei people don't have any problems, they are completely following my deployment."

"It's a pity that we missed the game by one move, so we lost the whole game!"

Guo Jia was even more puzzled. The two deduced for a long time, where did they miss a move?

"Say it!"

Sima Yi sighed softly, and then slowly uttered three words.

"Meridian Valley!"

As soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, before Guo Jia asked, he heard Cao Cao's firm questioning.

"Impossible! Meridian Road can't pass through the army at all!"

Guo Jia looked horrified, but nodded in agreement.

"Ziwu Road is rough and difficult to navigate, if you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out!"

"Furthermore, June is the rainy season, as long as it rains one day, Ziwu Valley will be completely cut off!"

Guo Jia had thought about the issue of Meridian Road leading directly to Chang'an before, but after considering the reality, he immediately denied the feasibility of this method.

First of all, it is necessary to march from Hanzhong, and secondly, the difficulty of passing is like climbing to the sky!

When Sima Yi went to Guanzhong, it was May and June, which was also the rainy season in Guanzhong.

As long as there is a little rain, the plank road in Meridian Valley will be completely cut off.

Moreover, even if Liu Zhang wanted to win by smuggling across the Meridian Road, it would be too late in time.

Liu Zhang was short of troops, and Sima Yi thoroughly investigated Liu Zhang's situation in Qi County.

Furthermore, after the Xianbei cavalry besieged Qi County, Liu Zhang's connection with Liangzhou and Yizhou was completely severed, and it was impossible to send a single soldier.

"Cao Sikong, Junshi Guo and I thought the same way at first. But who would have thought that Liu Zhang didn't come to Qi County with barbarians!"

Sima Yi couldn't accept it at first, and this was confirmed later.

"This task, which is impossible for us, is completely possible for the barbarians under Liu Zhang's command!"

Guo Jia clenched his fists tightly, and his angry face became ferocious.

"Liu Zhang is really lucky. If it rains in Guanzhong, he will be buried in Qi County!"

Liu Zhang deployed the barbarians in Liangzhou, which did not exceed Guo Jia's expectations.

After all, Liangzhou has just been pacified, so it will definitely need strength to guard it.

He just sighed that the heavens are helping Liu Zhang!

Even if it rains, Liu Zhang will be trapped to death in Qi County by him!

I wanted to use the Xianbei people to beat Liu Zhang hard, but now it's over, all of them are made into wedding dresses!

From then on, Liu Zhang's reputation will definitely rise several times!

Even Cao Cao can only look up to him.

After Cao Cao heard the ins and outs, he stopped shouting that it was impossible, but he still had many doubts in his heart.

"Sima Yi, hurry up and tell me the details of how Liu Zhang murdered 100,000 Xianbei people!"
