Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 273 Subduing the enemy without fighting (4)
"General Zhang, this Sima Yi has gone too far, right?" Holding a warrant, Dai Ling broke into Zhang He's tent and shouted loudly, "He came with a warrant quietly. A Diannong school lieutenant under Dai was transferred to be his secretary! Not even saying hello, really arbitrary!"

"Hush! Don't talk nonsense!" Seeing his bluffing, Zhang Yun was taken aback. He hurried to the tent door and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he closed the curtain tightly, turned around and whispered. Asked: "Which Lieutenant of Diannong was transferred by him?"

"That Deng Ai who has been stammering for a long time and can't say a complete sentence!" Dai Ling curled his lips, with a look of contempt on his face, "With his eloquence and appearance, he is worthy Can he be the secretary Lang who is in charge of important affairs next to the Grand Marshal of Guanzhong? I really don't know what Sima Yi likes in him!"

"This general has seen this Deng Ai before." Zhang Yun recalled Deng Ai's name, "He stuttered a bit, but he was able to fight against our army wherever he went. Fa often puts forward some insights, which should not be underestimated! This general remembers that Zhuge Liang invaded Guanzhong three years ago and sent Ma Di to guard the street pavilion. At that time, Deng Ai was transporting grain and grass to our camp. When he saw Ma Di on my desk The picture of setting up camp in Jieting suggested, "This general of Shu will station his troops on the mountain, far away from the water source. If General Zhang takes the opportunity to cut off his road and attack by surrounding the mountain, within five days, the Shu bandits will lose their ground and will undoubtedly be defeated." This general did exactly what he said, and he won the great victory at Jieting just now! Originally, this general also wanted to promote him in the near future, but unexpectedly, General Sima gave him a favor first..." Speaking of this, I can't help but pat my knees and sigh, feeling very sorry.

"Sima Cao said back then that what Deng Ai did was just talking on paper, and he was the second Ma Di! Such a person is exaggerated and cannot be reused!" Dai Ling didn't take it seriously after hearing this.He thought to himself: You, Zhang Yun, keep saying that Deng Ai is a talent, and according to what you said, even the great victory at Jieting was achieved in one fell swoop after you adopted his advice—but why have you treated him like nothing in the past year? Do you still treat him as a small future?Not to mention "eclectic" promotion of him!snort!Mr. Ye loves dragons!It's really empty with a pair of eyes for discerning talents!Dai Ling thought about this, and thought about it in a deeper way: Sima Yi loves talents like his life, and is eager to seek talents. Amazing!It's not like you, Zhang He, "you can't advance after hearing the good, and you can't use the virtuous if you know the virtuous", lest others will come out and surpass yourself-it seems that in terms of breadth, vision and measurement, you, Zhang He, are indeed inferior to Sima Yi. Great cut!

Seeing that Dai Ling stared at him suddenly and thoughtfully, Zhang He sighed deeply, and said to himself, "Brother Dai can be regarded as a veteran, how could he say such stupid words? As the saying goes, Everyone has their own talents, and their talents are useful. Isn't it just right for a talent like Deng Ai to be the secretary of the military affairs counselor?"

"Forget it, forget it, what are we two arguing here?" Dai Ling waved his hands and snorted, "This Sima Yi arrived in Guanzhong, instead of rushing to help the Qishan camp, instead promoting cronies and winning people's hearts everywhere, I really don't know him What do you think!"

"Brother Dai is talking nonsense again!" Zhang Yun was afraid that he would say something more outrageous next, and interrupted him hastily, "General Sima is a bit arbitrary, but he is brave enough to do things, does not avoid dangers, and does not care about gains and losses. , It's really commendable. The emperor trusts him so much, don't talk nonsense below!"

Dai Ling saw that Zhang Yun was avoiding conflicts blindly, so he couldn't help being startled, and wanted to provoke him, so he said with emotion: "I am not afraid of him, but I am afraid that General Zhang will be difficult to deal with in such a position. .In terms of seniority, ability, and experience, which one of you is not superior to Sima Yi? Just because he is the Minister of Gu Ming, he should come down from the sky to ride on your head? General Zhang, to be honest, all of us veterans in Guanzhong I feel sorry for you!"

After hearing these words, Zhang He remained silent for a long while.In fact, as far as he is concerned, he is not disgusted with Sima Yi's resolute, resolute, down-to-earth and pragmatic style shown in various measures such as Daxing farming, seeking talents, and pruning military discipline during this period.He is a veteran general who is very familiar with the military situation in Guanzhong, and he knows that the army in Guanzhong is arrogant and vain, and if it goes on like this, there will be accidents.It is rare that Sima Yi used thunderbolt methods in the past two months to "suppress them with tranquility, restrain them with strictness, control them with strength, and intimidate them with prestige", which made the Guanzhong soldiers strict and disciplined, and the credit is great.But Sima Yi didn't care about the faces of the veterans in Guanzhong. He always said that the generals in Guanzhong were dispirited, and threatened to replace them with a group of newcomers many times. It was no wonder that Dai Ling and others were full of complaints about him!And seeing these former comrades-in-arms being humiliated by Sima Yi all day long, Zhang Yun couldn't help feeling "sorrowful for the death of the rabbit and the fox" in his heart.Unknowingly, he became somewhat dissatisfied with Sima Yi's sharp-edged approach.But now that Sima Yi is in power, what can Zhang He do with him?I had no choice but to stand on the sidelines and keep silent.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun raised his head, saw Dai Lingwuzi chattering in front of him, opened his mouth involuntarily, and suddenly felt that he had nothing to say.Sima Yi had gotten angry with himself this afternoon, and he was determined to remove Dai Ling from the post of general who conquered Shu.Dai Ling probably also heard the news, so he ran up to him to talk long and short.However, Zhang He doesn't care about all of this now.He is not yet willing to stand up and "raise a dispute" with Sima Yi.Anyway, Sima Yi only has 5 horses at hand, even if I, Zhang Yun, take over the military power of these 5 horses instead of him at this moment, I may not be able to fight Zhuge Liang!Now, the more people Sima Yi offends, the greater the resistance he faces, and the more difficult the problems he encounters, the greater the possibility that he will replace him in the military and command the three armies in the future.Therefore, during this period of time, he only needs to wait and see what happens, and wait until Sima Yi has nothing to say, no one to help, and no strength to stand on his own, then take the opportunity to seize power with him!

Seeing that Dai Ling still had a lot of complaints to say, Zhang He waved his hand, yawned twice, and said, "Brother Dai, it's getting late at night, you should go back to rest tonight, get enough energy, and always There will be a time when the clouds will open and the sun will shine! Don’t get mad at your body..."

Since he went to the field to cultivate that morning, Sima Yi returned to the tent of the Chinese army, and soon felt that his legs were sore and sore from the cold air of the ice water in the field.After dinner that day, he asked Master Sima to lock it up outside the tent to keep out all visitors.And tonight, he will complete the review and signing of the military expenditure books reported by the general's battalions.

The [-] soldiers of the Guanzhong army form a battalion, and then press the "A[-], B[-], C[-], Ding[-], Wu[-], Ji[-], Geng[-], Xinyi, Renyi, Gui[-], Jia[-], B[-], C[-] , Ding Er..." and other names are crowned as the name of the battalion, and there are fifty battalions in total.Each battalion has a battalion officer as the commander, who is responsible for all affairs of the whole battalion.All the battalion officers in the Guanzhong Army, Sima Yi personally recruited and interviewed them when he took office, and he has a relatively clear understanding of their moral character, talents, strengths, and weaknesses.Sima Yi reviewed and appraised the military supply development books reported by these battalion officials based on the principle of "no chaos in the outline, no attention to details".Officials in the army have no more ways to earn money than local officials, and they mainly rely on cheating on military expenditures in the camp to take the opportunity to obtain a little extra money.Sima Yi also knew this well.Generally speaking, as long as these battalion officers did not blatantly fraudulently solicit money, he would approve and release them with a swipe of a pen, and he didn't care too much about it.After reviewing more than [-] expense books tonight, it was nearly two o'clock. Sima Yi felt a little tired, so he stretched and yawned. He was about to order the guard to make a cup of strong tea to refresh himself, but saw A soldier came in and reported: "Guo Ping, the battalion officer of the Gui Erzi Battalion, came to ask for an audience."

"No one will be seen tonight. Come back tomorrow if you have something to do." Sima Yi looked at the stack of unsigned military expenditure books piled up in front of him, waved his hand, and told him to leave.After a while, the soldiers came in again and reported: "Guo Yingguan said that he has something urgent and must come at night. I kindly ask the general to see him."

"Oh? Why do you have to come to see me at night?" Sima Yi said to himself.He pondered for a moment, then put down his pen, raised his head, and said to the soldiers: "Then let him in!"

When Guo Ping got the account, Sima Yi's eyes swept across his body like lightning, and then turned his eyes back to the expense book that was being reviewed and signed in front of him.This Guo Ping, in his impression, seemed to have always been a bit shrewd, but he didn't know why he begged to see him late at night.Sima Yi beckoned him to sit down, and said with a smile, "I have heard that General Guo is a man of great loyalty and bravery. I don't know what to do here in the middle of the night."

Guo Ping scanned the surroundings with his eyes, moved the stool closer to Sima Yi, and said in a low voice: "I have something important to report to the general. In recent days, there have been people talking by candlelight in General Zhang He Zhang's tent every night. Damn it, the general must guard against this!"

"Oh...General Guo is really a careful person!" Sima Yi smiled lightly, "Thank you General Guo for coming to tell me. General Zhang worked day and night to destroy Shu, and it is really difficult for him! This old man already knows about it. Does General Guo have anything else to do?"

Hearing these words, Guo Ping couldn't help being shocked, this Sima Yi really has a very deep palace, his emotions and anger are invisible, really amazing!Seeing that Sima Yi still had a peaceful face, he rubbed his hands together and said, "Guo Ping has no other plans, he just wants to serve the general wholeheartedly, and I hope the general will take care of him in the future." He took out a red sandalwood box and said: "General, a few days ago, my subordinates accidentally found something in the Bishui River in Shangguiyuan. I don't know where it came from, so I brought it here for the general to appreciate."

"What?" Sima Yi asked calmly.

However, Guo Ping casually opened the red sandalwood box gently, and on the layer of golden silk and satin inside, there was an oval piece of amber that was two inches square.This piece of amber is as transparent as ice, showing a light egg white color, and there is actually a pure blue glass-colored little dragon inside, with its teeth and claws open, its head raised and its eyes staring up, its beard and scales can be discerned, lifelike.

"Oh? There is such a natural green dragon inside this piece of amber..." Sima Yi couldn't help smiling, "This is a rare treasure!"

Seeing that he was a little surprised, Guo Ping said: "The general can bring a basin of clear water, and wait for my subordinates to use this piece of amber to conjure up more wonderful wonders for you to watch."
