Sima Yi thought for a while, wrote a letter, and then the wax only came and handed it to Yang Xiu: "Send this letter back to Luo Yang as soon as possible!"

There are only four words in the letter, fight for nothing!

He believed those old guys would understand what he meant.

"Yes!"

After Yang Xiu walked out of the camp with the letter, he handed it to a confidant, and told him to send it back to Luoyang quickly, and then returned to the camp again: "Zhongda, will my father and Patriarch Sima listen to you?"

"do not know!"

Sima Yi sighed: "I am afraid it will be difficult for them to let go of the honor of the Guanzhong family for hundreds of years!"

"That's right, but Zhongda, I think they did the right thing. Now that the Wei army has been defeated, is there any hope for us to go up to Soochow? If it must be a losing game, the more power we control, the future the more you can survive.”

At this moment, Yang Xiu also lost some confidence in the Great Wei Dynasty.

"Dezu, have you lost your confidence in the imperial court because of the battle in the Kanto region?"

"A bit!" Yang Xiu nodded frankly.

"It's understandable that you lost confidence in the court, but do you still remember the battle between Chu and Han 400 years ago?" Sima Yi asked calmly.

"The struggle between Chu and Han?"

Yang Xiu's eyes brightened: "What Zhongda means is that the current situation in the world is a repeat of the Chu-Han War 400 years ago, and our Great Wei is now the Dong who was forced into Hanzhong and dominated the world. Wu is the... Xichu back then!"

"That's right!"

Sima Yi's eyes were still full of self-confidence: "As long as the Wei Dynasty is still in the middle, we still have hope, just like the indomitable ancestor Gao, sooner or later there will be a chance to kill a great country!"

"What my brother said is not wrong. After the Hongmen Banquet, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty had to make a compromise. He was forced to lead his army into the land of Hanzhong. He also had to cut off the plank road and trapped himself in Bashu. He lost the qualification to compete for the world, but in the end he destroyed the Xichu who was in full swing, and killed a great man in the world!"

Yang Xiu sighed: "This is the ending that no one expected after a group of princes wiped out the Tyrant Qin 400 years ago, but Han Gaozu did it, and my brother used this battle to tell me that as long as the war continues The final curtain has not come to an end, in fact, no one knows what the result will be, a momentary gain or loss does not explain the final success or failure, and our Guanzhong family has now put the treasure on the Great Wei Dynasty, and we will fight Wu Jun to the death!"

He is a very smart person, and he can draw inferences from Sima Yi's words.

Although Cao Wei is at a disadvantage now, he has not yet reached the predicament of Han Gaozu, at least there are still Guanzhong and Bingliang, and he may not lose.

"Dezu, take ten thousand steps back, what do you think will happen if I lead my troops to attack the Wei Dynasty and then surrender to Soochow?"

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and asked again.

"It's hard to guess this result, but my instinct tells me that this is not a good choice!"

Yang Xiu smiled wryly: "Back then, the Jiangdong family welcomed the Jiangdong army into the land of Jiangdong. Now it's not the extermination of the family, the remnants of the remnants. Even if we surrender, can we maintain the inheritance of the aristocratic family?"

The Great Wu Dynasty has always looked down upon the aristocratic family, especially Sun Quan, the great emperor of Soochow, who has always stood on the opposite side of the aristocratic family. Even if they surrender, who can guarantee that Soochow will not cross the river and tear down the bridge.

"That's right, since even if we surrender, we can't tell whether we will live or die. We might as well fight to the death. Even if one day we are defeated, we can at least get a name in history!"

Sima Yi's eyes were deep, and he said calmly: "When I left the mountain and took refuge in Cao Wei, after I met His Majesty for the first time, I thought in my heart that as long as he was alive, I would never betray, because I understand a truth, people believe in themselves, as long as If you choose, you must stick to it to the end, those half-hearted people will not be valued, and will never succeed!"

"It's because my mentality is not as tough as my brother's!"

Yang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Since brother wants to fight to the death, I will betray him and fight to the death!"

"Hehe, I can't say that you are wrong. Maybe I am just a foolish insistence. In fact, you are not wrong. The defeat of the Great Wei Dynasty has already been lost by [-]%, and the only one who can struggle now is to divide the world evenly." That's all!"

Sima Yi stood up, put his hands on his back, looked at the sky with his eyes, and sighed a little: "Sun Zhongmou is not the overlord of Western Chu after all. After the Kanto War, if he can rush to attack Guanzhong with the intention of unifying the world, we may still have a big It is possible to defeat him by one round, but in that situation, he was able to maintain his momentum and consume our Wei army's troops step by step, this is really hard to deal with!"

Although he could console himself that he hadn't lost this battle yet, he had to admit that Wei had fallen far behind Soochow in terms of the situation.

The reason why a miracle is a miracle is not so easy to create.

In today's Great Wei Dynasty, all the land of Hebei has been lost, the Kanto has disappeared, more than half of the foundation of the establishment of the dynasty has been lost, and three quarters of the entire Central Plains have fallen under the banner of Soochow. He sees less than hopeful.

"Zhongda, do you think that if we can seize the land of Bashu, is it possible to turn defeat into victory? At least we can divide the eastern and western borders with Eastern Wu, and divide the world into two!"

Yang Xiu thought about it, and suddenly said something whimsical.

"It's not easy to capture Bashu!"

Hearing this, Sima Yi squinted his eyes slightly, frowned, and there was a sharp light in his eyes: "In the land of Bashu, there are two main armies of Eastern Wu. They are still stronger than us. They are just to guard against us. Don't say that we are going south. Maybe they were thinking about..."

Having said this, Sima Yi's voice paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, his face changed drastically.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xiu was a little surprised.

"We seem to have overlooked something fatal!"

Sima Yi said quietly.

After the news of the Battle of Kanto came back, he kept telling himself subconsciously that Wu Jun was stabilizing the situation in the east, but he didn't mean to start a war aggressively, and there should be a period of peace between the two dynasties.

So he subconsciously let down his vigilance.

But in the current situation in the Central Plains, the east does not mean the west, the east is peaceful, and the west does not mean that there will be no war.

Wu Jun's Bashu Legion and War Elephant Legion did not participate in the Kwantung War. They have been recharging their energy all the time. At this time, when they least expect it, will they suddenly come out with all their strength...to attack by surprise.

If their main force goes northward to surprise Wudu at this time, then they will be in great trouble.

"Dezu, is there anything unusual in Baima Pass recently?"

Sima Yi looked serious, looked at Yang Xiu, and asked in a deep voice.

"No, our spies reported that everything is normal for Wu Jun!" Yang Xiu shook his head: "If you say it is abnormal, it seems that there are a little more food transport teams in Baimaguan City, but they will replenish food and grass every once in a while, which is normal. It’s just that this time it’s not much added!”

"unusual!"

Sima Yi's face suddenly became ugly: "It's October, and winter has not yet entered. If the Wu army is replenishing logistics on a large scale, there is only one purpose. They are preparing for war!"

"Prepare for battle?"

Yang Xiu was startled: "Now? No way!"

"There are many things that only you can't think of, nothing is impossible!"

Sima Yi strode out of his position and walked to the terrain sand table on the left side of the middle battalion. He looked at the sand table where the two sides were facing each other: "Dezu, you immediately send scouts to detect that we are in Lu'an Mountain, Dahuangling, If Wu Jun wants to go northward at the sentry post at Baishui River, he will definitely pull out our several sentry posts, as long as there is a problem with the sentry post, it is certain that Wu Jun intends to go north to Wudu!"

A day later, Xiabian City, on a hill in the eastern suburbs.

The left tiger guards the camp.

On the plain with a radius of several miles, there are high gates, lingering stakes, and a dense atmosphere. The tents in the camp are one after another, and the soldiers on the school ground are howling. , with great momentum.
