Sima Yi smiled slightly and said: "General, there is no need to be angry. At least our army has discovered the reality of the Sizhou border."
Ma Chao glanced at Sima Yi indifferently and asked, "What is the truth?"
Because I had just suffered a defeat at the hands of Zhao Yun, I was in a very unhappy mood.
He, Ma Chao, has never suffered such a loss in a competition among the Xiliang Qiang people or even the Hu people.
When talking to Sima Yi, he kept thinking about the shot that Zhao Yun took before leaving.
The shot made his hands numb, and he still remembered that he was eager to attack and exposed such a flaw.
It is possible that those who can attack a flaw with one shot so quickly are all highly skilled in martial arts.
Sima Yi looked at Ma Chao's uneasy look and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he waited for a moment.
It wasn't until Ma Chao looked at Sima Yi again that he said calmly: "At least the defenses of the counties on the border of Cao Wei and Sizhou are empty."
"This is the reality of Sizhou. Now they have no defenders in Sizhou at all!"
Ma Chao nodded, showing a hint of indifference.
Obviously, he still had no intention of it. What he wanted more was to fight Zhao Yun again to prove his strength.
Sima Yi continued: "At least, we won't encounter any resistance before attacking Chang'an. According to Cao Wei's military strength in Sizhou, we can't stop our army!"
Then he looked to the side and smiled: "We can even occupy all the previous counties based on the Weishui River."
After hearing this, Ma Chao's expression finally changed, showing a hint of surprise.
Then he smiled faintly and said, "That's fine. I just had a battle with the elite tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao's army, and found that their combat power was no more than this, and they were slightly inferior to my Xiliang cavalry."
"I want to see how capable Cao Jun is, whom everyone in the world is avoiding."
Just occupying a few cities is not tempting to him at all, Sizhou is his goal.
Looking at Qianxian in his hands, his eyes once again showed a hint of ambition.
"Very good, we will send troops again tomorrow."
Sima Yi on the side frowned slightly and said: "General, I'm afraid this is not good. It would be bad if we were ambushed by the enemy. How about waiting for the army to come and think about it?"
Facing Sima Yi, Ma Chao raised his hand indifferently and said: "There is no need to wait for them. Since Sizhou has no troops now, it should be a victory and pursuit."
"Just a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry are no match for my Xiliang cavalry."
Immediately, his eyes showed incomparable confidence. How could General Shenweitian, who was called the Shenweitian by the Qiang people in Xiliang, not have any ability?
Sima Yizheng on the side wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking about it carefully, his words seemed to make sense.
If we wait for a few days, Sizhou's reinforcements may have arrived.
It would be better to seize the two days and pursue the victory. In this case, Sima Yi did not continue to dissuade him. He nodded and watched Ma Chao enter the city.
At this time, he looked at Sizhou with a sinister look in his eyes.
I recall that when he was still in Xuchang, Cao Cao personally wanted to ask him to be an official, but he originally did not want to accept it.
All of this was rejected by a person beside Cao Cao, and that person seemed to have a little murderous intention towards him.
That person is none other than the current King of Wei, Zhao Feng.
Just seeing him, Sima Yi felt a little cold in his heart, as if everything about him had been directly seen through by Zhao Feng.
At that time, he was so frightened that he left Xuchang and even all the areas under Cao Cao's jurisdiction overnight, went directly to Xiliang, and defected to Ma Teng.
Now I never thought that there would be such a day when he would actually lead his troops to attack Zhao Feng.
Then he shook his head, leaving all these old things behind, and looked at Sizhou in front of him.
Now that Cao's army is so powerful, he should not be afraid of the Xiliang army, and there is no reason to face the Xiliang army again.
Therefore, Sima Yi almost concluded that Sizhou must have an empty rear defense without any troops.
Only after Cao Jun failed to defend the city, he abandoned the city and fled.
Sima Yi smiled and shook his head. Even if soldiers came, he would still break through the city gate and take the head of the guard.
Xiliang now has strong troops and horses. If a war breaks out, there will be no fear at all.
In a part of Chang'an City, several bronze birds came to deliver the news.
"Lord, Ma Chao has occupied Qian County with more than 20,000 people, including 3,000 Xiliang cavalry."
Zhuge Liang on the side smiled and said: "Everything is going as the lord expected. It seems that Xiliang is not aware of our intentions at all."
Guo Jia also nodded, looked at Zhao Feng and said: "Now other counties outside the Wei River have withdrawn their troops, and now they have all turned into empty cities."
Hearing this, Zhao Feng nodded, then looked at Tongque and asked: "Is there any movement over the Qiang people recently?"
For Zhao Feng, the Qiang people are the most important.
Tongque shook his head and said: "The Qiang people have not made any moves recently."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Feng looked thoughtful and waved his hand.
"Continue to explore the news."
The two people on the side also looked at each other with curious expressions. Although they knew what Zhao Feng's intention was, they could not guess what Zhao Feng was thinking.
At this time, Zhuge Liang asked: "Master, are there any other arrangements?"
Zhao Feng was slightly startled and looked at his two military advisors. He had now transformed into the King of Wei. Naturally, the post of military advisor was handed over to them.
"Arrangements? What more arrangements do you need!"
Guo Jia couldn't help but ask: "Now that Ma Chao has occupied Qian County, he will definitely attack tomorrow and invade other counties. Doesn't my lord have any other arrangements?"
In their view, a man like Zhao Feng, who is so wily and calculating, will make extremely mysterious moves every step of the way.
However, Zhao Feng was slightly confused and looked at the two of them calmly and said, "Haven't the arrangements been made for today?"
"Since the soldiers and even the people from other counties have withdrawn to the other side of the Wei River, let them occupy the remaining cities."
"We don't need to pay attention to them."
Looking at the two people, Zhao Feng continued: "There is nothing worth discussing today. Let's wait until Ma Teng's army arrives at the city to think about it."
"Standing still is the best strategy. Now is not the best time. We still need to wait."
"There's no need for you two to think too much."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Feng stood up and left the study.
Cao Cao completely delegated power to Zhao Feng, and he was left to enjoy his old age with nothing to do.
This actually surprised Zhao Feng. Originally, after he said those words, Cao Cao would have divided his powers by half at most, but Cao Cao took the initiative to put down all these powers. Although he still held the position of prime minister, he did not ask any questions about everything.
.
This is Cao Cao's current attitude. It seems that he has really handed over all his power to Zhao Feng.
Then, Zhao Feng let out a breath, glanced at Cao Cao who was practicing calligraphy in the courtyard, and left quietly without disturbing him.
