Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 231 Sima Yi Takes Military Power for the First Time (8)
After more than half a month, Jia Xu, a generation of strategists and "brain tanks" in troubled times, died suddenly of illness at Di Mansion in Luoyang at the age of 77.Sima Yi, who was a servant of Shangshu, led the ministers and bureaucrats to lead the performance, and Cao Pi personally approved the submission, posthumously posthumously posthumously titled "Marquis Su" to Jia Xu, and secretly named his son Jia Mu the official minister.His descendants later became famous in the Jin Dynasty: his grandson Jia Mo served as a regular servant of Sanqi and a general of the army during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, and served three thousand households in the city. He also served as the servant of Huangmen in the time of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, and he was ranked among the princes; Jia Yin's younger brother Jia Kan successively served as the governor of Liangzhou and the governor of Qinzhou, and was a senior official; Jia Yin served as the hussar of Emperor Jin Min from his brother Jia Di The general was named Duke of Jiuquan County.All these rich rewards actually have a great relationship with Jia Xu's concentrating on secretly helping Sima Yi to obtain military power and finally succeeding.Moreover, because of Jia Xu, Sima Yi also took a look at his younger brother Jia Kuigao, and in the course of his later political ascension, he has been deliberately wooing Jia Kui to become his right-hand man.

As Sima Yi's close relationship with Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang, Cao Xiu and other generals of the Wei family's clan has deepened day by day, he is now implementing the national policy of "garrisoning soldiers and raising soldiers" more and more like a fish in water-soon, he will write one carefully, The "Decree to Supervise the Reclamation and the Military Tunnel" promulgated by Cao Pi Yongxi was released: the foundation of rejuvenating the country lies in strong soldiers and sufficient food.Since the chaos and the rise of the army, there have been years of famine, the fields have been desolate, the soldiers have no place to live, and the people have no food reserves--I am so sorry!If all the military rations are spent on the people, what can the people do?Therefore Xuer and other officers and men garrisoned the fields by themselves, plowing and fighting.Now Jingzhou (Jingzhou: Jingzhou after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao has Nanyang County, Zhangling County, Xiangyang County, Jiangxia County, and Nanxiang County (the former Linjiang County to the west of Zhijiang has been owned by Liu Bei); Sun Quan has Jiangxia In addition to the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Bei also has Nanjun and Yidu counties. The Jingzhou territory occupied by the three families is called their own Jingzhou.), Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and other places. The land is favorable, the soldiers and soldiers have enough food, and the country depends on it.

This edict was quickly implemented in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and other places.Sima Yi smiled gratifiedly: Under his painstaking efforts, the "military settlement" development project that benefits the country and the people and has enough food and soldiers has finally flourished in all states and counties!
The blood-red sunset covered the blue sky, pressing down heavily and densely, as if everything in the world was going to be squeezed into this endless blood.

On the courtyard dam in the backyard of Sima Mansion, Xia Houshang in military uniform was walking slowly side by side with Sima Yi in casual clothes.

"Boren (Xia Houshang's word is "Boren"), you and Zidan (Cao Zhen's word is "Zidan") have not been in Beijing for a few days to report on your duties... and now you are leaving again Now, this really makes Yi very reluctant!" Sima Yi sighed leisurely while walking slowly with his hands behind his back.

"Hey! It's not like you don't know, but His Majesty is determined to go to the east again - this time he personally led Wen Lie (Cao Xiu's word is "Wen Lie") to send 28 troops from Lujiang to the puppet army. Wu launched a thunder strike... Shang also received a secret decree to rush back to Jiangling City to respond to His Majesty and Wen Lie from the west, and try his best to contain Sun Quan and Lu Xun's elite troops in the Jingzhou area... You say, Shang has an important task right now Shoulder, do you still dare to stay in Luoyang City for a while?"

Sima Yi smiled deeply and didn't say much.He naturally understood Cao Pi's intentions of continuously launching the Eastern Expedition and the Southern Expedition in the past few years: Cao Pi did this because he tried his best to take down the two kingdoms of Wu and Shu as soon as possible before his death, so as to make a contribution to the great Wei Dynasty. Lay down a solid foundation forever!Moreover, judging from the secret thoughts in the deepest part of his heart, it cannot be ruled out that he is actually trying to block Sima Yi's way of seizing military power by relying on the brilliant achievements he may obtain in his own military conquest!It's just, do you, Cao Pi and Cao Xiu, have the ability to calm down Wu Shu and rule the world?I am afraid that the current Eastern Expedition is the same as the previous Eastern Expeditions and Southern Expeditions. Its ending will still be invincible, waste the people and waste money, and damage the national prestige!
While thinking about it secretly, he nodded subtly: "Boren! Yi always likes to think out of the box, and it may be that Yi is a little too worried-the current court is all focused on Soochow. Sun Quan took it for granted, but turned a blind eye to the prying eyes of the Western Shu puppet Han at the elbow and armpit. I am afraid that in the future there will be hidden dangers of being overwhelmed and overwhelmed..."

"Zhongda, it's a little too much for you to say that: the puppet Han Dynasty in Western Shu was originally a small country and few people, and then suffered a disaster from heaven - Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other heroic generals were all destroyed. Are they still the opponents of my majestic Wei Dynasty? They dare to show their heads and seek their own death? My Great Wei Dynasty didn’t care to deal with them, so it’s a good thing for them..."

Sima Yi couldn't help smiling wryly when he heard his arrogant words.He was about to open his mouth to continue talking, but Xia Houshang pointed at the full moon-shaped door opening in front of him, and said with a smile: "What a natural emerald green screen - I don't know how many beautiful springs in your Sima Mansion are locked behind it ah?"

Sima Yi heard that he was "talking about him around Wang Gu", so he stopped "following up" on those sensitive topics. He raised his eyes and looked ahead, only to see that a tall bamboo frame in the full moon-shaped doorway was covered with The bright green ivy covered it layer by layer, forming a wonderful tall screen.He also smiled and replied: "This screen was carefully constructed by Chunhua. Yi also thinks that she did it beautifully: first of all, it cleverly conceals the scenery of the whole garden, so that outsiders will not see it at a glance. There is no room for aftertaste; secondly, the screen itself is also an exquisite landscape, which is not only in line with nature but also full of aura, which can be said to be a great coincidence!"

"My mother-in-law is really ingenious and ingenious!" Xia Houshang sighed, "Shang also heard that Hui'er went back to the mansion and talked about the charming scenery in the back garden of your Sima Mansion, Zhongda, please lead Shang in to enjoy it! "While talking in his mouth, he has already stepped forward.

The two of them turned around the emerald green screen, and their eyes suddenly became clear, and it really was a different world!Sima Yi walked in front, leading Xia Houshang slowly from the east corridor, and explained to him like a tour guide: a row of willow trees was planted in the northwest corner, and there was a green bamboo pavilion next to it. Every spring, there is a beautiful spring scene of willows and willows; at the end of the promenade is a tall building with carved beams and painted buildings, which rises into the sky-named "Yitianlou". Then the victories of a garden are all embraced; in the center of the garden is a flood of green water, and in the middle of the small lake is an exquisite crescent-shaped pavilion, which is where Sima Yi likes to linger most - summer can be enjoyed on the pavilion. On it, while playing the qin and waving a brush, you can admire the maidservants in the lake gathering boats to pick lotus; there is a "huixin bridge" on the lake, from the water center pavilion in the lake like a rainbow to the Fengming Pavilion in the north, under the bridge, you can see a group of fish leisurely at the bottom of the water Swimming around and having fun, the people on the bridge will be happy to see the scene and enjoy the fish together; at the end of the west corridor is the Crane View, where you can sit and watch the wind reverberate and the auspicious snow flutter in winter. , surrounded by the furnace of Boshan, warming the new fermented wine in silver cups, sipping while listening to the snow, and whistling in the wind, how chic and elegant; in the middle of the north is the magnificent Fengming Pavilion, surrounded by thousands of green bamboo poles, it is really windward Shake it, it looks like a thick phoenix tail, and there is a thin dragon chant, its tranquility is beyond words!When Xia Houshang saw it, he couldn't help but be full of praise: "It's unexpected that a family of such a famous official and noble as Zhongda can create such a fairyland on earth-without fireworks, without flashy rhyme, it is really real. It is refreshing, really rare, rare!"

Sima Yi smiled proudly: "Why? In Boren's eyes, one who lives in a high temple and a family home cannot have the pleasure of traveling far and wide, with supernatural powers? The joy of entering the world and the joy of being out of the world Yi is confident enough to have both!" When he said this, his tone suddenly brought out a bit of emotion: "Ah... If the Emperor Wu hadn't sent envoys to summon Yi to be an official over and over again, Yi might have been in trouble in this life. Live in this garden and grow old among mountains, rivers, forests and springs!"

"Zhongda is really a generation of masters who 'remain hidden in the court'! My Xuan'er has been quite obsessed with Lao Zhuang's Qingxu talk recently. If he knew that you, an elder, would like to talk about it, maybe before the meeting I have come to ask you for advice!"

"Oh... okay! When you go back, tell nephew Xuan that he treats me as his own home, and come to play at any time, don't be formal. He will meet a bosom friend here: my Zhao'er is also I like to study Lao Zhuang's knowledge of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, so I might be able to talk with my nephew Xuan..."

While they were talking, they entered the lakeside pavilion and sat down.

"By the way, Yi has something to talk to you, Boren: Ziyuan (Sima Shi's character is "Ziyuan") has been fond of military training since he was a child, and he aspired to be a famous general like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. He has been I really want to go to the military to broaden my horizons and gain some experience... Yi, I have been unable to persuade him, and because he is dedicated to serving the country, it is not easy to dampen his ambition, so I have to agree. But Yi has never thought about where to send him to the army for training..."

"Oh? Master, do you want to come to the army to exercise? Good! Good! Good! A good man should aim at the world, establish himself with his talents, and be famous for his merits! How about this, he doesn't have to think about where to train, he just stays with Shang. Let me be a middle-aged man by my side first..."

"Boren, Yi is here to thank you for taking care of me..." Sima Yi looked straight at Xia Houshang, with a slight smile on his face, but there was a trace of deep firmness in his tone, "But, since Master is really Going to train in the army, in Yiyi's opinion, you can't rely on the name of my Sima family to suppress... Otherwise, Boren and your subordinates will hear that he is your son-in-law of Xiahou Boren and our Sima Zhongda Isn’t it true that every one of his sons keeps him at a distance and avoids him? Then what skills does he have to develop down there? Yi wants to let him change his name and name, and call him ‘Ma Si’. Since Boren, you Starting from the ten commander, the lowest rank in the barracks..."

"Okay! Okay! Zhongda, I will do whatever you order! I also hope that Shier will be very successful and become a pillar of our Great Wei soon!" Xia Houshang nodded repeatedly, stroking his beard and smiling .

After the field became quiet for a while, Xia Houshang took a sip of tea, as if thinking of something again, frowned slightly, leaned over and whispered to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, Shang heard that during your Majesty's Eastern Expedition, you asked him Nominated a soldier Cao to join the army, that is, Jiang Ji, who is said to be from Jiujiang County, Xuzhou? This matter seems to be talked about outside..."
