The first thousand three hundred and forty-seven chapters of the five-day appointment?
It is certain that Sima Yi will never give it again after giving this gift.
Giving most of the treasures now to Liu Bei means that Liu Bei also knows such a thing. Wei Yan just wants to show his innocence. Giving them to soldiers is to win people's hearts, and it is harmless to Wei Yan.
Of course, Wei Yan hoped that these precious things would be put into his pocket and safely.
Now everything has become empty talk.
Sun Gan did not give up his vigilance towards Wei Yan. He knew that in the current tense situation, no one except Liu Bei and Xu Shu could easily believe it. One bad thing is the end of death.
Wei Yan sent people to divide the many treasures sent by Sima Yi into two parts, one of which accounts for 80% and send them to Liu Bei in Jiange. Of course, the letters written by Sima Yi to Wei Yan and the imperial edict from Liu Yu were all sent to Liu Bei together.
Wei Yan shared the remaining 20% to all the soldiers in Nanjiang City.
The soldiers all received real money and shouted that the general was wise and willing to die for the general.
When Wei Yan saw this situation, the pain felt a little less, and at least the money spent was worth it. However, Sun Gan was extremely alert. If Wei Yan was in the Sanba land, his prestige was higher than that of Liu Bei, and he would not see anything now, and he would definitely not lose his head in the future, which would become a huge trouble.
Secretly, Sun Gan recorded everything that happened in Nanjiang City, wrote two reports with the same content, and then quietly delivered them to Chengdu and Jiange respectively, and handed them to Liu Bei and Xu Shu.
When it comes to Liu Bei's brother, Sun Gan would not dare to act rashly even if he was loyal to Liu Bei.
And Sun Gan was sent by Liu Bei and Xu Shu to Wei Yan to do this.
The defenders of Nanjiang City all received gifts from Sima Yi, and they all laughed at Sima Yi as stupid as they thought they could use money to bribe Wei Yan. Don’t you know that Wei Yan and Liu Bei are brothers?
Is Sima Yi really stupid? It is definitely not! The gold, silver and jewelry he spent were not made by himself, but by Liu Yu, for the purpose of bribing the civil and military officials of Yizhou to facilitate the war against Yizhou.
Liu Yu is naturally generous when taking these yellow and white things that seem extremely precious but cannot be eaten or drunk at critical moments. This thing is a drop in the bucket for Liu Yu. As long as he takes Yizhou, no matter how many treasures he has, it will return to Liu Yu's hands. Liu Yu knows such a deal, which is definitely a good deal.
Sima Yi naturally understood Liu Yu's thoughts, and he was extremely generous to use. He was unwilling to use this relatively low-level strategy. It seemed that Sima Yi wanted to bribe Wei Yan, but in fact it was to make suspicious between Liu Bei and Wei Yan. Sima Yi could conclude that Wei Yan was appointed by Liu Bei as the main general of the Sanba land, and there must be nails arranged by Liu Bei. After giving the gift, even if Wei Yan showed a slight affection, he would be targeted by Liu Bei's confidant and quietly delivered to Liu Bei.
Sima Yi didn't care about how Liu Bei reacted. He only knew that one part of his plan was that someone needed to tell Liu Bei about his attempt to bribe Wei Yan, and his plan could be carried out smoothly.
Links are Sima Yi’s plan.
Among the Liu army, the soldiers were incredible about Sima Yi's gift to Wei Yan. They all couldn't figure out why. Only Xiahou Yuan pondered. He guessed Sima Yi's intention, but he was unable to confirm it.
At noon that day, Sima Yi led the army to the city of Nanjiang again.
This time, the Liu Bei army in Yizhou in Nanjiang City was not so nervous. They knew that Sima Yi wanted to persuade Wei Yan to surrender, so there would be no serious attack. They could be a little easier.
Sima Yi rode a tall horse and easily came to Nanjiang City. In front of everyone, he whispered to Wei Yan on Nanjiang City: "General Wen is here! Sima Zhongda is here to ask for a meeting!"
Wei Yan had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Sima Yi coming out, he immediately showed up and responded: "I am here! Sima Yi, what's wrong with you?"
"Hello, General, can you read the letter today?" Sima Yi bowed and said.
Wei Yan said disdainfully: "Sima Yi, I really want to thank you. I have received the gift you sent. I have sent it to my elder brother and become my elder brother's military expenses. Your letter was also sent to my elder brother. I will tell you to die! I will never betray my elder brother."
Wei Yan was doing such a disdainful expression for Sun Gan next to him to see.
Sun Gan can now stare at Wei Yan.
Sima Yi's expression was still so gentle, and he said, "The general is so loyal and righteous. He naturally doesn't take it seriously by the common things. He is rash. But have you ever thought about it? The general is so loyal and righteous. Can Liu Bei be extremely trusted in the general?"
"What a sharp-tongued mouth. If you want to alienate the friendship between me and my elder brother, it will be considered as blinding your eyes! Stop talking nonsense! I am now in this Nanjiang City. If you have the ability, come and attack. I will let you know what it means to be solid!" Wei Yan directly scolded.
"What a pity!" Sima Yi sighed pretendingly and said, "General is a beautiful woman! Why do you follow the thief? I originally wanted to be a minister with the general in the future, but now it has become a fantasy. Well, let's fulfill the general's righteousness. I hope the general will not regret it in the future!"
Wei Yan loudly ordered all the soldiers: "The whole army is on guard!"
The soldiers of Nanjiang City all started to move, and they knew that a war was about to begin.
But Sima Yi did not give orders, but instead said loudly: "I admire the general's righteousness! Within five days, I will not attack Nanjiang City."
As soon as this said, it caused a huge uproar.
Even Liu Jun was surprised.
"What!? Five days!" Ma Chao was very dissatisfied and hurried to Sima Yi and persuaded: "Zhongda, this is not OK!"
"Don't say anything more!" Sima Yi's face changed and he said seriously: "If you don't follow the military law!"
Ma Chao was speechless after being choked.
Sima Yi turned around with a smile and said to Wei Yan: "In five days, I will not act rashly. General, let's go."
After saying that, Sima Yi and all his troops stayed away from Nanjiang City again.
Wei Yan and Sun Gan were both stupid. Is Sima Yi’s saying true? If there is no attack for five days, is there such a good thing?
"Is Sima Yi's words true or false?" Wei Yan was very suspicious and looked at Sun Gan.
Sun Gan couldn't give Wei Yan an answer either.
In desperation, Wei Yan ordered Nanjiang City to defend strictly and not to relax.
When Sima Yi's army returned to the camp, the whole army was confused by Sima Yi's decision. If you don't attack for five days, you will waste time and food here in vain, which may delay opportunities for war and eventually lead to the deterioration of the situation and out of control.
Sima Yi returned to his big tent like a ok, and asked someone to prepare a table of wine and food, and he wanted to enjoy it.
And Xiahou Yuan and Ma Chao rushed into Sima Yi's tent.
Ma Chaoda said in anger: "Zhongda, you have decided not to attack for five days! I will definitely not agree!"
Under such circumstances, Xiahou Yuan, who usually doesn't speak much, echoed Ma Chao's words and said, "Sir, please think twice! The situation changes instantly, and it's too long for five days."
Sima Yi looked at Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan, and finally laughed: "Haha, both generals, please sit down! I have someone to prepare wine and food, let's have a good drink."
"You are still in the mood to drink!?" Ma Chao's eyes widened.
Xiahou Yuan was a little speechless. No drinking was allowed in the army. Why did Sima Yi, as the chief general, still knowingly violate it?
"Come on! Sit down." Sima Yi greeted Xiahou Yuan and Ma Chao to sit down.
Soon, a table of simple wine and food was brought up by the soldiers.
"The battlefield is simple, so we can only hold on." Sima Yi picked up the wine glass and started drinking.
Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan looked at each other, and they felt that Sima Yi was definitely crazy.
"Sir! Let's talk about the serious business. We won't attack the city in five days! If Your Majesty finds out, we can't explain it." Xiahou Yuan said bitterly.
Whoever asked Sima Yi to be the chief general, the entire army would listen to him. Since Sima Yi kept establishing his authority before, even Ma Chao can no longer do anything to Sima Yi. Xiahou Yuan felt that this battle would be very difficult.
Ma Chao clenched his fists tightly and resisted the urge to beat Sima Yi up.
Sima Yi drank a glass of wine, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Do you really think you won't attack the city within five days?"
If Sima Yi really doesn't attack Nanjiang City within five days, there will be a ghost.
As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan calmed down in an instant. It turned out that this was Sima Yi's plan.
"Sir, are you confused Wei Yan?" Xiahou Yuan asked.
"Of course!" Sima Yi said affirmatively.
Ma Chao pondered and said, "Wei Yan is not that stupid. He will definitely not believe that our army will not attack for five days."
"Haha! What I want is Wei Yan who doesn't believe it!" Sima Yi said confidently.
Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan couldn't make a fool of themselves at once. Sima Yi's thinking jumped too much. Their IQ was limited, so they really couldn't keep up.
"Okay, I won't hide it from you anymore. You also know that General Cao and Meng Da were sent out by me. Today's gifts, including Nanjiangcheng's words, are part of the plan!" Sima Yi explained.
Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan understood that a little bit. Just the gift-giving matter would be a bit expensive? But Sima Yi didn't care, and they didn't say much.
"Our troops were ordered by Your Majesty to conquer the eastern part of Yizhou, and the troops were directly aimed at the Sanba. Liu Bei had already responded and sent Wei Yan as the main general to guard the Sanba. The troops that Wei Yan could use were almost the same as our troops. However, the enemy defended and attacked us would be very unfavorable to our army. If our army continued to attack, the casualties would definitely be huge, and it would be impossible to complete Your Majesty's instructions in the future and delay Your Majesty's plan. Therefore, a strong attack is the worst strategy, and attacking the mind and taking the king is the king." Sima Yi might be in a good mood today, and he told Xiahou Yuan and Ma Chao a lot.
Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan also listened patiently. Sima Yi's ideas were of great use to them for learning.
Sima Yi finally said: "Liu Bei is a hypocritical villain. Looking at General Guan and General Zhang before, you can know that Liu Bei is worried about Wei Yan, and he must have a suspicion around him. If it were today, what Liu Bei learned about, do you think Liu Bei would do this?"
"Our army Chen army is in Nanjiang, Liu Bei will not do anything to Wei Yan. Changing generals at the last stage is a taboo. Unless Liu Bei doesn't want a will, but he is suspicious. "Ma Chao will not be so stupid.
"That's right! This is also the reason why I sent General Cao, General Meng and others out!" Sima Yi said affirmatively.
Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan finally understood what Sima Yi’s plan was.
"Then what should we do next?" Xiahou Yuan asked.
"Wei Yan is thinking at this moment whether I have a conspiracy to target him. Let's leave him for a day or two. Meng Qi, Miaocai, you will bring your troops to Nanjiang City every two hours, and make the bigger the momentum. Stay one mile away from Nanjiang City. You don't have to launch any attacks. Just look at Nanjiang City there. If Wei Yan dares to leave the city, you will retreat." Sima Yi said in a dark way: "I will give Wei Yan another big gift."
Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan saw Sima Yi's expression and were covered in chicken skin. They knew that Wei Yan would be plotted against Sima Yi this time.
At this time, in Nanjiang City, Wei Yan and Sun Qian were constantly thinking about Sima Yi’s every move today, to see if he could figure out some clues.
Unfortunately, with their brains, they would never have imagined Sima Yi's calculations.
"What exactly does Sima Yi want to do?" Wei Yan felt that his mind was not enough. Does Sima Yi really want to make him surrender to the Shenwu court wholeheartedly? Judging from Sima Yi's words and deeds, it really tastes like that.
Sun Qian didn't believe Sima Yi's lie that he would not attack for five days. He was 100% sure Sima Yi must be a conspiracy.
"Gongyou, I really can't figure out what Sima Yi will do next. It seems like I'm trapped in a fog, unable to see the other party's background clearly. I feel uneasy!" Wei Yan told the truth.
"General Wen Chang, no matter what Sima Yi conspires, our army just needs to defend it." Sun Qian said this all the time.
When the two couldn't figure it out, a scout ran in directly from outside the door, and he brought news that Sun Qian and Wei Yan felt something was wrong.
Gao Shun's troops from Liu Jun, Jingzhou, Fuling County, sent two troops led by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan to lead 8,000 troops. Zhang Ren attacked Fengdu City and attempted to march into Ba County. Yan Yan marched into Linjiang City and threatened Badong County. The guards of both cities sent letters of help to Wei Yan.
It would be better to say something if someone else attacked, but Zhang Ren and Yan Yan had a huge reputation in Yizhou. People kept seeking over them along the way, and their troops gradually reached a huge 10,000!
