Chapter 390 Sima Yi Recommends Himself

The big account of the Chinese army.

Cao Cao was a little melancholy and a little hesitant when he was in the handsome position.

He is very confident about taking back Yanzhou from Lu Bu,

However, Yanzhou City, the central city, was repeatedly attacked.

If it goes on like this, although it can win in the end, the consumption will be too great.

Can't find a quick fix.

Xia Houen came in with the Qinghong sword on his back, "My lord, Bo Sima Lang, the military master, is asking to see you."

The Sima family is a first-class wealthy family, with a higher status than the Cao family before Cao Cao raised his troops.

Without the support of the gentry, it is impossible to unify the world.

Therefore, Cao Cao is very willing to accept people from these aristocratic families as his followers, especially the descendants of the direct line.

"Let him come in." Cao Cao said casually.

Sima Lang came in, "Master, my younger brother Sima Yi is here."

Cao Cao showed some smiles to some extent, and with Sima Yi's arrival, the Sima family will fully support him.

He had also heard about Sima Yi's talent, and he had risen rapidly in the past two years.

But it is a rumor after all.

In fact, Cao Cao looked down on Sima Yi very much.

Because he found out that Sima Yi was besieging Yuan Tan, he was scared away by Yuan Tan.

Think Sima Yi is a parallel importer.

But Sima Yi is the second heir of the Sima family, and he is willing to eat free food from him.

"Oh? The eight sons of your Sima family are all talented, but Sima Yi is the leader. Bring him in."

Sima Lang hastily beckoned.

After Sima Yi saw it outside, he tidied up his clothes again and strode in.

"My lord, Sima Yi, met Duke Cao." He cupped his hands and bowed.

The two sides looked at each other.

Cao Cao smiled, stroked the regrown beautiful beard, and said to Sima Lang: "This is your second brother, Sima Yi who was scared away by a song by Yuan Tan?"

"This..." Sima Lang blushed suddenly, and sure enough, the fire couldn't be contained in paper, and this matter should have spread.

"This...." Sima Yi was of course embarrassed.

It seemed that this was going to be a stain on his life.

But as long as Yuan Tan can be defeated, he can be completely cleaned up.

Therefore, he immediately calmed down and said, "Mr. Cao, Yuan Tan is cunning, and my withdrawal is a surefire strategy. Who really knows that Yuan Tan has no ambush?"

Cao Cao frowned, yes, these things are all from Yuan Junzhong, maybe Yuan Tan is putting money on his face.

From this point of view, this Sima Yi is capable and available.

"That's right," Cao Cao said.

It can be seen that he admitted his mistake to Xiang, which shows that he has a broad mind.

Sima Lang breathed a sigh of relief, he knew in his heart that at that time, Yuan Tan was running so fast that there must have been no ambush at all.

If Sima Yi chose to rush over at that time, the whole era would have changed.

pity.

But then again, in that situation, Yuan Tan dared to do that.

It is really the shadow of a famous tree.

Who dares to say that he is fake.

But he is fake.

He directly scared away his two brothers.

What a shame.

Cao Cao picked up the tea, took a sip, and said calmly: "Zhongda, I have heard of your reputation, what do you think of the general trend of the world?"

Sima Yi knew that this was an assessment, and said: "Ming Gong, the world is in chaos now, and the country is in Yuan Shao's hands. You must not easily become an enemy. Take back Yanzhou first, attack the eastern capital and the western capital, destroy Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and dominate the Central Plains. At that time, unite Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Liu Biao and other princes from the south of the Yangtze River to attack Yuan Shao together, and great achievements can be made."

Cao Cao put down his teacup and said calmly, "It's an old-fashioned theory of seeking the country."

In fact, before Sima Yi, great military advisers like Xun Yu and Cheng Yu had already had such strategies.

Therefore, his ears were callused when he heard such arguments.

After observing the words and expressions, Sima Yi knew that such an ambitious and rough policy could only deal with small princes.

Painting cakes to satisfy hunger, no matter how big it is, it is better to eat a small bite.

Cao Cao was also watching his words, and found that the young man in front of him became calmer and calmer after he said this sentence with rich connotations.

This is very strange.

After a stalemate between the two sides.

In the end, Sima Yi couldn't bear to speak first, "Ming Gong, let me talk about Yuan Tan first."

"Are you talking about Yuan Tan's rescue battle in Bingzhou?" Cao Cao became more energetic.

"Yes."

"What is your opinion?"

"Yuan Tan will be defeated!" Sima Yi said decisively.

Sure enough, as he thought, Cao Cao immediately became more energetic.

"Impossible!" Cao Cao was really surprised by this judgment, and then felt that this was just a young man's nonsense to attract attention, and said coldly:

"Yuan Tan is not Yuan Shang. Zhang Yan and Zhang Yang are all incompetent. In many cases, military strength is not everything. These two men with an army of more than 100,000 will not be Yuan Tan's opponent."

"Why do you say that Yuan Tan will be defeated?"

Cao Cao couldn't help asking.

After all, Sima Yi is not the old fox in the future, so he can't help but feel a little proud, "Because I made a move, I personally designed it for Zhang Yan..."

So and so and so, he described the general process.

Cao Cao kept furrowing his brows, seeing through Yuan Tan's scheme to secretly plot against Chen Cang?

Is this kid real or fake?

Sima Yi calmly said: "If Duke Ming doesn't believe it, there will definitely be news in the next few days."

Before the words fell, footsteps came from behind.

Everyone looked around.

It was Xun Yu who came in, "You are... Zhong Da?"

Sima Yi saluted respectfully, "Uncle."

"En." Xun Yu nodded, saluted Cao Cao, and then stood aside without saying a word.

It was obvious that Cao Cao and Sima Yi were communicating, so he had to wait for a while.

Cao Cao said: "Zhongda, what you said is really shocking. If Yuan Tan is really defeated in Bingzhou..."

"My lord, urgent information has arrived!" Xia Houen walked in.

"Where is the urgent information?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.

"It belongs to Bingzhou."

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, as long as it wasn't from Lu Bu's side.

But Bingzhou?

He couldn't sit still, and looked at Sima Yi with shocked eyes.

This person said that there must be news in one or two days, and the news came immediately.

To accurately judge the end time of the war, it is necessary to accurately predict the situation of the two sides.

Just relying on this accurate judgment, it is shocking.

Xun Yu was also surprised.

Although he has just arrived, with this ability, he can also learn from a few words that Sima Yi thinks Yuan Tan will be defeated.

And he always believed that with Yuan Tan's move, the Yuan family would definitely seize Bingzhou.

The power of the Yuan family has grown again, which is not good news for Cao Cao.

Therefore, a crowd had been gathered to analyze this matter long ago. Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Liu Ye and other counselors also agreed that Yuan Tan must have won, and Cao Cao also thought so.

"Quickly, let him in." Cao Cao urged.

Yuan Tan's defeat was top-notch good news for him.

Sima Yi was already standing with his hands behind his back.

Sima Lang's hairs stood on end, not because of fear, but because of excitement and excitement, he thought to himself, I am not as good as the second brother, the time of the second brother is just right, and the future will surely be prosperous.
