Chapter 384 Sima Yi's Response
Xuchang city
In Cao Cao's study, Cao Cao is dealing with state affairs.
Although Cao Cao is not the emperor, the current emperor is just a puppet in Cao Cao's eyes.
Cao Cao held all the memorials that should have been handled by the emperor.
And what the puppet emperor has to do is to listen to Cao Cao's words, and then stamp a seal in the memorial.
"Prime Minister, General Sima please see me!"
"Sima Yi?"
Cao Cao raised his head and was taken aback for a moment, feeling that Sima Yi had arrived much sooner than expected.
The person I sent out to deliver the imperial decree probably didn't arrive at Tongguan so soon, right?
"Prime Minister, this servant has just arrived at Hulao Pass, when he encountered Sima Yi's army!"
"They have already withdrawn without the prime minister's consent!"
The eunuch in charge of announcing the decree immediately knelt down in front of Cao Cao and explained.
In their eyes, Cao Cao is the emperor. If they dare to be disobedient,
Little life may end at any time.
"It's unreasonable to withdraw the troops early!"
"Let him in!"
Cao Cao frowned slightly, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.
This Sima Yi, who has the look of a wolf, is really disobedient.
Not only did they withdraw the army from Lantian privately, but they even came back early. Could it be that they wanted to rebel?
However, looking at Sima Yi's appearance, it doesn't look like a rebellion.
Otherwise, his back trick must have worked, at least Sima Yi should have been released and returned.
Now, Sima Yi came to see him in person, which shows that what Cao Cao worried about did not happen.
He didn't believe that with Sima Yi's ability, he could bribe Zhang Liao?
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
The two retreated quickly, and after a while, there were steady and powerful footsteps at the door of the study.
A middle-aged man in armor appeared before Cao Cao's eyes,
In his eyes, the pupils are a bit like a wolf, and he looks like he wants to devour the Lord at any time.
He is Sima Yi, the treacherous hero who stole the country that Cao Cao defeated into his own hands.
"The last general, Sima Yi, pays his respects to the prime minister!"
Seeing Cao Cao, Sima Yi immediately showed a fawning look in his eyes, like a completely tamed pug, he knelt down in front of Cao Cao.
That well-behaved look is exactly the same as when the devil in the Tang Dynasty professed his vassal to the Tang Dynasty.
He just wants to use the advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty to develop himself, and then kick others down.
"General Sima, do you still have the face to come back?"
"Why did you withdraw the troops from Lantian County privately? Why did you withdraw the troops privately without the approval of the truth?"
Cao Cao slammed the table and shouted loudly. The incomparable momentum made the guards at the door tremble. They looked at the study with pity.
Cao Cao hadn't been this angry for a long time, and this time he got angry, it seemed that Sima Yi was going to be in bad luck.
"I will be convicted at the end!"
"Please punish the prime minister, the general will be willing to bear any consequences!"
Surprisingly, Sima Yi did not rush to defend himself, but assumed all the responsibilities.
That obedient and obedient appearance also made Cao Cao stunned for a moment,
Filling him with anger, he actually eliminated three points for no reason.
Could it be that the truth really wronged him? ?
Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi who bowed his head and behaved well, and even began to reflect.
With Cao Cao's suspicious character, if Sima Yi was eager to get rid of himself at that time, then Cao Cao would definitely be furious, and then he would be severely punished.
However, Sima Yi did the opposite, making Cao Cao's punch feel like hitting cotton.
Cao Cao's suspicious character made him feel that there was something hidden that he didn't understand. His curiosity made him suppress his inner anger and look at Sima Yi.
"The truth gives you a chance to explain!"
"The truth depends on your performance before deciding how to punish you. Don't try to get away with it!"
"Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be!"
Cao Cao took a deep breath and gave Sima Yi a cold look.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
"The reason why the last general withdrew from Lantian County was because he was afraid that the Sun Liu coalition army and Jiang Chen had reached an ulterior purpose!"
"If the army is stationed in Lantian County again, I can't guarantee that Jiang Chen and Sun Liu's coalition army will repeat the same plan and surround our army to destroy our army's vital strength!"
Sima Yi explained.
"Well, what is the basis for your concern?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao calmed down a little, and felt that Sima Yi's worries were not unreasonable.
"Reporting to Prime Minister, the final analysis, since Sun Liu's coalition army and Jiang Chen jointly attacked the barbarians!"
"And our army is watching from the flanks. With Jiang Chen's personality, he will definitely not let the prime minister, a fierce tiger, stare at him, and will definitely take action!"
"As long as this vital force is wiped out, our army will suffer huge losses. I am afraid it will be difficult to deter the Sun-Liu coalition forces in terms of strength in the future. Therefore, the last general made his own initiative and asked people to withdraw from Lantian County and return to Tongguan to stand firm! "
Sima Yi explained.
"Well, your worry is quite reasonable!"
"Even if you pass the test, why do you want to withdraw the army privately?"
Cao Cao nodded. In fact, his spies also sent more specific news.
It is said that on the night after Sima Yi retreated, an unknown number of troops appeared in Lantian County, and after realizing that Sima Yi had left, they withdrew immediately.
This also confirms that Sima Yi's analysis is accurate, which is why Cao Cao did not pursue him.
Of course, this news couldn't be shared with Sima Yi. He didn't trust Sima Yi. The reason why he was asked to go was because he wanted him to be a scapegoat.
But he didn't expect that this Sima Yi was even more cunning than he imagined.
"Back to the prime minister, the reason why the last general withdrew!"
"It's because I feel that the general situation is over, since the Sun Liu Lianjun and Jiang Chen have secretly reached a cooperation agreement!"
"If I continue to stick to Tongguan, I will definitely give Jiang Chen an excuse to attack us!"
"Today, if our side confronts Jiang Chen and Sun Liu's allied forces head-on, it is hard to predict who will win and who will lose, so the last general will make his own decision and withdraw people back. If the prime minister wants to punish him, he will punish the last general!"
"These have nothing to do with General Zhang Liao and the others, please help the Prime Minister!"
Sima Yi kowtowed to the ground again, with an air of resignation to death, as if wishing that Cao Cao would kill him right away to fulfill his loyalty.
"Get up, the truth is not that kind of unreasonable person!"
"You handled the matter properly, but I will punish you with three months of confinement!"
"Come here, find a good prison for General Sima, entertain him nicely, and have the best food and lodging!"
"Don't neglect General Sima!"
Cao Cao sighed, now is not the time to deal with Sima Yi.
