Chapter 768 Sima Yi's Plan
On the vast prairie, less than a hundred miles away from Zhao Yun's ambush
There is a hidden small valley here, where a troop is stationed. This troop has distinctive armor, and its equipment is obviously different from the shepherd tribes on the grassland.
Yes, this is the army led by Sima Yi.
Appointed by Cao Cao, Sima Yi went to the grassland to look for opportunities, and cooperated with the Xianbei people to form an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly deal with Jiang Chen.
It's just that recently, the envoys sent by Sima Yi have received a lot of rejection, and those tribes on the grassland are not fools.
They were frightened by Jiang Chen's beating last time, and they were unwilling to take the initiative to offend Jiang Chen. Therefore, Sima Yi suffered a lot of setbacks.
Although he also pretended to be Jiang Chen's people on the grassland to sabotage, but the effect was not too obvious.
Among those big tribes, there are still smart people. They did not choose to follow blindly, but chose to continue to accumulate strength on the grassland, and when they become stronger in the future, they will come to plunder the Central Plains.
Prairie people are naturally warlike, but that doesn't mean they will be desperate to plunder the Central Plains.
Sima Yi's plan seems to have stalled, but Sima Yi doesn't seem to be anxious at all. He has been waiting for the opportunity, and has been scouting the major tribes without interruption.
"Report to General Sima, there is new news!"
"There is an army that seems to want to provoke a war between East and West Xianbei!"
"They attacked the Murong tribe and killed its leader, Murong Shi."
In Sima Yi's tent, the scout reported the newly obtained news to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi was also stunned. He never expected that such a thing could happen under their noses. They did not discover the existence of this army at all.
"Is there any clue to find that army?"
"Could it be that there are people from Jiang Chen within this hundred miles?"
Sima Yi was also stunned for a moment. He felt that 90.00% of the people who could do such a thing were Jiang Chen's people.
However, he clearly monitored all areas within a hundred miles. If a troop appeared here, they should have discovered it.
How did they break through their defense zone and appear here?
"Report to General Sima, but no trace of them has been found!"
"According to our information, their number seems to be only 30 to [-]!"
"It is estimated to be an elite unit of the Hanzhong Army!"
Hearing what the scout said, Sima Yi was also taken aback for a moment.
"Two 30 people?"
The other generals in the tent also stared wide-eyed. They never imagined that the Hanzhong Army would have the courage to break into a camp of 30+ troops with 10,000 people.
This is no different from looking for death. Even if their army is strong enough to compete with the Murong tribe, they dare not lightly hit other people's ideas.
He was afraid that he would be targeted by the Shanyu of the two tribes. At that time, it would be difficult for him to escape on the grassland.
"Yes, according to the news from our spies from the Murong tribe, it is indeed so!"
"They divided into several groups, not only burned the granary of the Murong tribe, but also released all their cattle and sheep to camp, causing heavy casualties to the Murong tribe!"
"I heard that Murong Hai is now reporting to Budugen Shanyu and wants to provoke a war with Ke Bineng in Xianbei!"
The scout captain reported.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy!"
"With the forbearance of Budugen, I'm afraid I won't provoke Ke Bi Neng Shanyu lightly!"
"After all, their strength in East Xianbei is now not as good as that of West Xianbei. If they take the initiative to provoke them, it is very likely that West Xianbei will find an opportunity to annex them!"
Sima Yi shook his head, feeling a little unrealistic.
"General Sima, do you want to inform Bu Dugen, don't let him be deceived!"
"After all, that may be a conspiracy of the Hanzhong Army, and we must not allow his conspiracy to succeed!"
A general stood up and said to Sima Yi.
"Yes, General!"
"As long as it is a conspiracy of the Hanzhong Army, we must find a way to destroy it!"
"We must not weaken the power of the Xianbei people because of this, otherwise, the Prime Minister will blame us!"
The other general also nodded.
They and Jiang Chen are both hostile, so as long as it is Jiang Chen's plan, they must try their best to destroy it.
They didn't know how cunning Jiang Chen was, he was able to do this kind of blame-making thing, and it was so bold, Sima Yi felt that apart from Jiang Chen, no one else dared to do it.
"It's not urgent!"
"I think this is an opportunity for us!"
What he didn't expect was that Sima Yi did not agree with the objections of his generals. Instead, he wanted to support Jiang Chen.
This made the generals dumbfounded. Who is this Sima Yi with?
"Please general explain the confusion!"
"The end will be dull!"
A general stood up and looked at Sima Yi with a puzzled expression. If Jiang Chen's plan was to succeed, it would definitely be of no benefit to them.
"This matter is actually very simple!"
"I think those Xianbei people are timid, cowardly, and are afraid of being beaten by Jiang Chen, so they have never been willing to cooperate with us!"
"Even if we notify Bu Dugen, what can it bring to us? Will Bu Dugen cooperate with us??"
Hearing Sima Yi's words, the general thought for a while, then shook his head and said:
"That step speed is not as good as Xi Xianbei's Ke Bineng, how can he cooperate with us at this time!"
"It is estimated that our overtures will only make him feel that he has ulterior motives!"
"It's just a thank you at most!"
The general also saw very clearly that everyone was thinking about issues from their own standpoint, and would never choose to cooperate with Cao Cao regardless of the interests of the tribe.
"In that case, why should we tell them?"
Sima Yi smiled lightly.
Since they can't cooperate, are they friends or not? What does their life and death have to do with them? ?
When the other generals heard Sima Yi's analysis, they also felt that what he said was very reasonable. Since such people do not choose to cooperate, let them perish.
"But, is Jiang Chen going to be so cheap?"
"Then Jiang Chen is already extremely difficult to deal with. If they don't have the worries of the grassland tribes, I'm afraid it will cause great obstacles to General Sima's future plans in the future!"
The general said unwillingly.
Most of these people who were able to follow Sima Yi's side were not valued by Cao Cao. Therefore, Sima Yi's methods quickly drew them into his camp.
Now, these people listen to Sima Yi.
