Yu Yi smiled and said: "The art of war is changing rapidly. If you stick to the present, it will be difficult to win by surprise. Now that Kong Ming has passed away, Sima Yi thinks that he is invincible, so he will definitely relax his vigilance. Ziwu Valley is remote and it is not easy to ambush soldiers and horses, so you You can bring a team of people and give it a try." After Yu Yi's reminder, Jiang Wei seemed to understand something and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for the tip."
The two continued to communicate some details. Yuyi explained the content of the battle, and the two hung up the video.
After the video ended, Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel angry for a long time. He looked at the "Dunjia Heavenly Book" in his hand and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister has such a wonderful book and the wonderful function of making calls from a distance. It is difficult not to become a wise man through the ages."
As for Yu Yi, he personally led troops and horses to besiege Wancheng. Since the follow-up reinforcements did not arrive, and the Wei State did not have a capable general to fight against Yu Yi, Wancheng was also captured soon, but the capture of Wancheng also damaged the city. Unable to defeat the vigor of the Western Shu soldiers, Yu Yi could only suspend the attack and recharge his batteries in Wancheng, while waiting for news from Jiang Wei before deciding on his next plan.
Sima Yi, on the other hand, worked hard and without stopping for a moment, he went directly to Xuchang and met Cao Rui, the leader of Wei.
Cao Rui was already seriously ill. When he saw Sima Yi, he suddenly burst into tears and said, "I was very afraid that I would not be able to see Aiqing again before I died. Now that I see you, I am willing to die immediately!"
Sima Yi bowed and said, "I heard that Your Majesty is not in good health on the way. I wish I could put on two wings and fly to Your Majesty's side immediately. I feel very lucky to be able to serve Your Majesty now."
Cao Rui nodded and said: "You also know about the three-pronged attack on Xishu!"
Sima Yi thought that Cao Rui was going to attack this matter, so he quickly knelt down and cried: "When I went on an expedition to Liaodong, I had already calculated that Xi Shu would take action and arranged defensive forces. However, I underestimated the strength of Xi Shu Prime Minister Yu Yi. As a strategy, he first pretended to give the throne to Liu Chan, the king of Western Shu, to create the illusion that there was a disagreement in Western Shu. Then he started an undeclared war and sent troops from three groups, catching us off guard. The other two groups were defended, except for those led by Yu Yi. I didn’t figure it out this way, so please forgive me, Your Majesty!”
Cao Rui said: "You were able to conquer Liaodong and kill Gongsun Yuan and his son in such a short period of time, which is already a great achievement. Now Western Shu suddenly attacks. This is unexpected. How can you punish him?"
Sima Yi was so moved after hearing this that he couldn't even kneel down.
Cao Rui summoned Prince Cao Fang, General Cao Shuang, and servants Liu Fang and Sun Ziren to come to the imperial couch. Cao Rui took Sima Yi's hand and said: "Previously, Liu Bei entrusted his young son Liu Chan to Zhuge Liang in Baidi City. Kong Ming and Yu Yi, although Yu Yi usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he still abdicated the throne. As for Kong Ming, he devoted himself to his utmost loyalty and devoted himself to death. This is not the case for a small Shu country, let alone a big country like our Wei State? My The youngest son Cao Fang is only eight years old and cannot yet control the country. Fortunately, there are Taiwei and some brothers from the clan who are trying their best to help. Don’t let me down or let down the country!” After speaking, he called Cao Fang in front of him and said, “Sima Yi and I The relationship is as if we are one person, you must respect him as a father!" So he asked Sima Yi to pull Cao Fang to the front. Cao Fang saw that Sima Yi was kinder and was not afraid, so she hugged Sima Yi's neck tightly.
When Cao Rui saw it, he was very happy and said: "I hope the captain will not forget the attachment of my youngest son Cao Fang today!" After saying this, he burst into tears.
Sima Yi was also deeply moved. He didn't expect that Cao Rui still trusted him. Cao Rui gradually felt that his dizziness was getting worse and worse. He could not speak any words and could only point his finger at the prince. He soon passed away. , he reigned for thirteen years and died at the age of thirty-six, in the late spring of the third year of Wei Jingchu's reign.
Cao Rui passed away, and his soul left his body. He was soon enveloped by a black power, and a voice came, saying: "Wei Lord Cao Rui, are you okay?"
Cao Rui looked around for the sound, and suddenly turned around and saw a disembodied shadow standing behind him. He had blood-red eyes, a terrifying face, and long nails on his hands, like a monster.
Seeing that Cao Rui was too afraid to respond, the dark shadow smiled and said, "Have you forgotten?" After saying that, he suddenly changed, and suddenly a bright light washed away the dark shadow, and the colorful lotus came to the world. There was really an immortal standing on it, with a windless Taoist robe. Swinging, with white hair and a childish face, he looked at Cao Rui with a smile.
Cao Rui felt strange, but he quickly recognized this immortal. At that time, he had been pursuing various miraculous elixirs. The ministers promoted the idea that he could use dew to connect the immortal world. Finally, an immortal came to visit him, and he also got guidance. However, his body But it's getting worse.
The immortal noticed Cao Rui's expression and said with a smile: "It seems you know me, I am here to welcome you to ascend to immortality!"
Cao Rui was very happy after hearing this and said: "It seems that my efforts have not been in vain. I would like to ask the immortal for enlightenment!"
The immortal stretched out his right hand, held Cao Rui's right hand, and then shouted loudly. Cao Rui felt as if his hand was being sucked by something, his facial expression began to distort, and the so-called immortal also returned to his previous dark form.
Cao Rui wanted to leave, but the attraction was too strong. He said angrily: "You are not an immortal at all, you are a demon!"
It turns out that the black shadow is the evil force, and all of this was his plan. Cao Rui was obsessed with beauty and gathered all kinds of dark powers during his lifetime. Finally, his body was hollowed out and he died unexpectedly, while the evil force was always there. Looking for an entity, Cao Rui happened to pass away. He wanted to absorb this soul and increase his power so that he could reattach to living people and control everything.
Cao Rui realized this too late, and was quickly absorbed by the evil force. After the evil force had a delicious meal, he burst out laughing. He suddenly waved his hand, and the shots of Yu Yi, Sima Yi and others appeared at the same time. He sneered. Said: "Humph, the game has just begun."
At that time, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, in accordance with Cao Rui's edict, put the crown prince Cao Fang on the throne. Cao Fang, named Lanqing, was Cao Rui's adopted son. He had been in the palace. No one knew who his mother was, so Cao Fang was named Emperor Ming. , was buried in Gaoping Mausoleum. Empress Guo was the empress dowager, and Yuan Zheng was changed to the first year. Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, as ministers of Gu Ming, jointly assisted the government. Cao Shuang was very cautious in doing things. All major events must be reported first. Cao Shuang's courtesy name is Zhao. Uncle, he has been in the palace since he was a child. Emperor Ming respected Cao Shuang even more when he saw that he was cautious. There were five hundred people in Cao Shuang's family, and there were five people among them. One was He Yan, whose courtesy name was Uncle Ping; the other was Deng Yang, whose courtesy name was Xuanmao. , are the descendants of Deng Yu, one is Li Sheng, whose courtesy name is Gongzhao; the other is Ding Mi, whose courtesy name is Yanjing; the other is Bi Gui, whose courtesy name is Zhaoxian. There is also a person named Da Sinong Huan Fan Zi Yuanze. This person has some strategies and people think he is a think tank, and they are all trusted by Cao Shuang.
He Yan secretly told Cao Shuang, "The master's power cannot be entrusted to others, otherwise it will cause disaster. Now that Xishu is attacking from three directions and the young emperor has ascended the throne, we should take the opportunity to attack Sima Yi."
