Chapter 99 Stalemate(3/3)
"Then according to what Zhongda sees, can our army send troops to attack it?"
Cao Pi asked respectfully.
Hearing this, Sima Yi responded confidently: "Sir, the general in charge of the army's attack on the Three East Counties is Zhao Tong, the son of Zhao Zilong of Changshan."
"It is said that when this person was wiping out Shangyong County, he refused the surrender of the wealthy clan headed by the Shen family. Instead, he attacked first and sent troops to wipe out all the armed forces among the wealthy clans!"
"Although the local wealthy families suffered heavy losses after this battle!"
"But the so-called centipede insect is dead but not stiff."
"The Shen family and other families have been entrenched in Shangyong and other counties for many years. It cannot be solved overnight. Zhao Tong even used force and sharp swords to cut off the mess."
"Then this matter has laid the foundation for disaster."
"We just need to design and utilize it a little bit."
"With the hatred of the local wealthy families towards Zhao Tong, they will be happy to help our army and then cooperate with us internally and externally."
"But this matter needs to be dealt with slowly!"
"It is not advisable to act too hastily, otherwise the enemy may be aware of it."
After a lot of eloquent words.
Sima Yi then solemnly stated the specific operation plan for conquering the three eastern counties.
Talk to the end.
A trace of worry appeared on Sima Yi's originally smiling face.
Then he said in detail: "Actually, Master, based on the current situation, whether it is the battle in Jingzhou or the three counties in the East, it will only be a small fight between the two sides!"
"What should really be noted is that the war in the southeast should begin."
"Huh? Zhongda, do you think Sun Quan will take the opportunity to send troops to attack Hefei?"
As he mentioned the southeast, Cao Pi was naturally not stupid in intelligence. After thinking about it, he understood Sima Yi's intention.
But he still asked in a deep voice: "But when Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou before, he even sent someone to express goodwill to us and agreed to jointly deal with Liu Bei's army."
"He shouldn't use troops against our army, right?"
However, despite saying this, he spoke very softly.
Obviously, he also felt that he might be thinking too wonderfully.
"Sir, don't think too highly of Sun Quan!"
"He previously sent envoys to Xudu to make confessions, but he just wanted to attack Jingzhou and did not want to be attacked on both sides. How could he be sincere?"
"Besides, this person is also a profit-driven person. In order to seize Jingzhou, he did not hesitate to turn against Liu Bei and launch a sneak attack. What about our army?"
"Now that he has suffered a lot of losses when heading west to Jingzhou, it's hard not to set his sights on Hefei!"
Sima Yi spoke solemnly.
This word fell.
