Hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Sima Military Advisor, I wonder what tricks you have? Come and listen."

Cao Cao still relied heavily on Sima Yi. This guy was full of tricks and might be able to come up with a wonderful plan.

Sima Yi couldn't help but say: "Prime Minister, his subordinates believe that Qinchuan, 800 miles away, will definitely not be guaranteed, and the Prime Minister needs to make a decision early."

Hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but remain silent.

How could Cao Cao not understand Sima Yi's words?

Sima Yi advised Cao Cao not to be lucky. Now he should think that the 800-li Qinchuan has been lost and make a decision early.

However, even Cao Cao thought that 99% of Qinchuan was lost in his heart, but he still had the luck of 10% in his heart.

How could Cao Cao willingly accept this fact before the news came?

Cao Cao couldn't help but say, "Sima Military Advisor, continue to talk about your plan."

Sima Yi continued: "Prime Minister, my subordinates think that we should take the initiative to retreat and retreat to a city where there are dangers to defend, and do not give Dahua an opportunity to take advantage of!"

After listening to Sima Yi's plan, Cao Cao's face became ugly.

Is this your plan?

Your strategy is to make me look like a turtle?

Just put your territory back to defense completely?

This matter is easy to say, but if he really does this, wouldn’t it mean that Cao Cao takes the initiative to show his weakness?

His prestige will surely plummet. How can he rule over his ministers?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but say with a gloomy face: "Sima Military Advisor, is this your plan? In your opinion, if my great man does not retreat, will he not be able to resist Dahua's attack?"

Sima Yi couldn't help but ask: "Prime Minister, please ask, if Dahua launches attacks on the Han Dynasty, Liaodong, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places from the sea, how can we defend?"

Cao Cao said with a dark face: "If they launch an attack from the sea, even if they can take down some areas, this Prime Minister will naturally lead the army to counterattack! Can their transportation on the sea be faster than the transportation on land? Is it because of this reason that you persuaded the Prime Minister to retreat voluntarily?"

Sima Yi did not answer Cao Cao's question, but then asked: "Prime Minister, but what if Dahua only attacks but does not invade our territory? How will we defend?"

hiss!

When he heard Sima Yi's question, Cao Cao and Shen Pei couldn't help but take a breath at the same time.

The so-called care is chaos, and it is not Sima Yi’s reminder that neither Cao Cao nor Shen Pei had thought of this problem.

If Dahua continues to harass him from the sea, in Liaodong, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

They will inevitably be exhausted to deal with it and will inevitably gather a large number of troops.

To support such a large army, it would be necessary to spend a lot of money and food.

Such expenses alone are enough to drag them down.

Not to mention, the places where Dahua can attack are not just these coastal states.

Places such as Yuzhou, Jizhou and other places are within their attack range.

If the Great China really adopts this harassment tactic, then the great men will inevitably be exhausted from dealing with it.

And with Cao Cao's understanding of Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang and others, it is almost certain that they would take such measures.

When he thought of this, a cool air rose from Cao Cao's back.

It turned out that before he knew it, he had fallen into such a passive situation.

Yes, the idea Sima Yi just came up with is to give up some of his current territory and retreat voluntarily.

It is indeed a good idea to retreat and return to a limited place to be kept.

In fact, the idea proposed by Sima Yi is often used in history.

For example, in later coastal areas, because they were often invaded by Japanese pirates, they sometimes simply migrated the people inland.

During the Qing Dynasty, Taiwan was often sensational by Western fleets, so ministers proposed to migrate all of Taiwan's population to the inland, but it was not passed later.

As long as we follow Sima Yi's advice and migrate the people, we can indeed temporarily alleviate the current dilemma.

However, for a moment, it was difficult for Cao Cao to make a decision.

Because, once the formation makes this decision, the territory of the great man will shrink by at least one fifth, or even more.

Now the territory of the Dahan is constantly being eroded by Dahua, and it is not big.

If you retreat like this, it will be even smaller.

This is something that Cao Cao couldn't tolerate.

Of course, there is one more important thing.

That is, if he really takes this measure, it will have a great blow to his prestige and may cause turmoil in the court.

Therefore, Cao Cao was unable to make a decision on this decision.

Sima Yi seemed to see Cao Cao's contradictory mood.

In other words, when Sima Yi said this plan, he had long thought that Cao Cao would have such a reaction.

Therefore, Sima Yi couldn't help but say, "Prime Minister, there is a saying that I don't know whether to speak or not."

Cao Cao couldn't help but say, "It's okay to say something, Sima Military Advisor, can you not trust this Prime Minister?"

Sima Yi couldn't help but say, "What the Prime Minister is thinking is nothing more than the dissatisfaction of the people and the court is unstable."

Hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Sima's son is not simple. He guessed all the thoughts of this prime minister.

It is too dangerous to stay with such a person.

Especially this person's appearance, he looks at the hawks and looks at the wolf, and he is destined to rebel in the future!

Well, he must be spared until he has survived this crisis.

In fact, Sima Yi also realized that what he said today was really a bit too much.

Originally, in front of Cao Cao, he should have hidden his weaknesses.

But now, he and Cao Cao are grasshoppers tied to a rope.

If you want to hide your shortcomings, maybe everyone will finish it.

As for seeking a trip to Dahua, Sima Yi has not considered it.

Judging from the current situation, the Han Dynasty seems to be unable to beat Dahua.

Logically speaking, it is best to go to Dahua.

Unfortunately, Sima Yi came from a noble family, and Dahua's attitude towards a noble family was to kill him quickly.

Therefore, Sima Yi would not consider seeking a trip to Dahua unless it was absolutely necessary.

Now, his performance seems to have aroused Cao Cao's suspicion.

But now I don’t care much about it anymore. I’d better help Cao Cao through the current crisis first and take one step at a time!

Sima Yi couldn't help but say, "Prime Minister, it seems that this matter is not difficult to solve. The Prime Minister is now famous all over the world and all around the world. The Prime Minister's merit can be further improved! In this way, no one dares to question the Prime Minister anymore!"

Go further?

After hearing this, Cao Cao's expression changed.

He is now the prime minister who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people. What if he goes further?
