Yu Yi smiled and explained: "I just got the news. Kong Rong advised Cao Cao not to send troops. He was an evil teacher and made Cao Cao angry. Later, Kong Rong was framed and Cao Cao simply killed Kong Rong and his son. "Sikong Xuan was frightened and said: "With Cao Cao's wisdom, it is really unwise to kill a prestigious person like Kong Rong in front of him."
Yu Yi sighed: "The so-called wise man is only confused for a while. I think Cao Cao is old, haha."
Feeling that the topic between the two seemed to have gone too far, Sikong Xuan pointed to Jingzhou on the map and said: "Now Cao Cao has approached Jiangxia. The entire land of Jingzhou is under his control, and he is bound to win Jiangdong." He put aside his doubts. The question was repeated again, which showed that he was in a very anxious mood.
In fact, Yu Yi also attached great importance to this. Before Sikong Xuan came, he analyzed the situation in Jingzhou through the map in the ancient book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and had a rough judgment on Cao Jun's next step, and said: "Jing Xiang The current situation is definitely unable to resist Cao Jun's attack, and my eldest brother may not be able to support it for long. As Jiangdong, separated from Jingxiang by a river, it can be said that we are dying. You and I can see that Cao Jun's next step is to conquer Jiangdong. He Wouldn’t Sun Quan be able to see it? Even if he couldn’t see it, couldn’t the counselors and generals around him see it?”
Sikong Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that Jiangdong Zhou Yu is a powerful counselor and Zhang Zhao is a very powerful steward. They will remind Sun Quan."
Yu Yi turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said: "Although Cao Cao's army has the advantage in numbers, most of the soldiers are from the north and are not familiar with water. They cannot take advantage of fighting in the middle of the river. In addition, Cao Cao had to fight before attacking. After killing Kong Rong, his reputation plummeted. It can be said that he has no name, and there will definitely be problems in his rear. Finally, it is himself. I think he is getting older and has become a bit arrogant. The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated!"
After hearing this, Sikong Xuan suddenly became enlightened and said: "My lord, do you mean that there will be fundamental changes in Jingxiang?"
Yu Yi walked up to Sikong Xuan and said: "Yes, today's time, location, and harmony are all indispensable. I believe Zhuge Liang, who is far away in Jingxiang, must have thought that the plan for now is to unite with Jiangdong. Let’s fight against Cao Jun together, let’s play a big game of chess.”
Sikong Xuan bowed and said: "Three divisions of the world, unite with Wu to fight against Cao. Your lord's wisdom is beyond my reach. I hope your lord can teach me more!"
Yu Yi stepped forward to help Sikong Xuan up and said: "Why should we be so open-minded between you and me? In fact, I think the problem in Jingzhou is ultimately a problem of my eldest brother's weak character. There are some mothers-in-law, and Liu Biao is critically ill. At this time, he should follow Zhuge Liang's suggestion and capture Jingzhou, otherwise Cao Cao would not have captured Xiangyang without any effort. Jingzhou could also be used as a foundation to unite with Soochow and have the right to speak when Cao Cao attacked Xinye. Finally, he should not go to Fancheng, but go directly to Xiangyang. When something happened in Xiangyang City, he should have taken Xiangyang directly, but he left. In the end, he violated a military taboo and led the people along the way. Lost?"
Yu Yi's words made Sikong Xuan sigh, as if Yu Yi had experienced everything.
Seeing Sikong Xuan's expression and the quiet atmosphere, Yu Yi also realized that his complaints seemed to be too much. He quickly asked Sikong Xuan to sit down again and asked Zou to come out and add some tea.
After the discussion on the Jingzhou matter was over, Sikong Xuan mentioned the movements of Le Jin and Zhang Yan again, saying: "There is news that Zhang Yan has sent troops from Zhao State, and we have to start preparing to resist."
Yu Yi said: "Zhang Yan was forced to send troops because of helplessness. Don't worry, he was just showing off. However, we have been in Maocheng for a long time. We must take advantage of the time when Cao Jun's army has no time to take care of us. The troops should be moved to Sichuan as soon as possible. We can still build relationships in Liu Yan's territory. After all, we are the younger brothers of the Han clan."
The two continued to talk about the development of Maocheng, and Sikong Xuan left. He felt that everything seemed to be under Yu Yi's control. Although they were very close, they felt very far away. Yu Yi was very mystery.
In Daoxiang Village, the people sent by Le Jin came back to report and said: "Zhang Yan has urged us to do what he wanted. He promised to send troops and horses to attack. We are almost reaching Maocheng now."
Le Jin smiled slightly and said: "Very good, Zhang Yan is also bold. He didn't even listen to the Prime Minister's words and just sent out troops." After that, he also gave the order, and the army set off and marched in the direction of Maocheng. .
Zhang Yan was very depressed in the camp. He had no choice but to send a team of more than 3,000 people. In order to show that he was sincere in attacking Yuyi, he led the team himself.
Zhao State was not far from Maocheng. In the evening, three thousand soldiers and horses led by Zhang Yan quickly arrived near Maocheng and began to set up camp.
Yuyi had already received the news and knew that Zhang Yan had no choice but to do so, but Zhang Yan was his enemy after all and would always be a threat, so he arranged the retreat plan of the soldiers in advance.
After the Ergouzi incident, there were many people who actively participated in Tang Lin's army. Together with those who had surrendered from Lejin, the size of Tang Lin's army at this time reached about two thousand. In order to preserve this bloodline, Yu Yi only Huang Shumin and a hundred soldiers were left behind, while the others retreated from the west gate of Maocheng and headed for the Taihang Mountain Road.
On the night when Zhang Yan set up camp, Yu Yi took Huang Shumin and a hundred soldiers and quietly approached the camp. He whispered to everyone: "Except for the drummer here, the others sneaked into the camp with me. This time our mission is to plunder each other. The main items were baggage and supplies. After hearing the sound of drums, everyone retreated together."
Then Yuyi said to the drummer: "We only have one stick of incense time."
After the distribution was completed, Yu Yi led his troops to lurk in the camp. First, he dealt with the soldiers at the entrance of the camp. The flying knife soldiers killed them silently, and then the follow-up troops followed.
Yu Yi quickly found the coach's camp and sneaked in. In the darkness, Yu Yi found two people lying on the bed in the coach's camp.
When he was confused, Yu Yi used a fire stick to light the candles in the camp. Looking at the bed, he found a shirtless man lying next to a naked woman. When he saw Yu Yi, his expression was obviously very surprised.
Yu Yi smiled and said: "Your Excellency must be Zhang Yan. I didn't expect you to be so elegant. Let me introduce myself. I am Yu Yi."
Zhang Yan heard that it was Yu Yi and didn't know the purpose of the other party's late night visit, so she said kindly: "I have also read the letter you sent. It is really helpless for me to send troops to you this time. You Don’t worry, I won’t really attack you, I’m just pretending.”
