Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 315 Breaking through the fire attack strategy, attacking Zhuge's heart (3)
After a while of silence, Sima Yi said: "Okay, I'm going to have a serious talk with you tonight as a father." Then, he cast his eyes towards the entrance of the tent.Sima Zhao understood, walked quickly to the tent door, and told the guards: "You go [-] steps away and guard it strictly, don't let anyone come near and disturb you."

Then, he returned to his tent and stood awe-inspiring beside Master Sima.

Sima Yi sat leaning on the couch covered with tiger skins, looked straight at his two precious sons, and said solemnly: "Master, Zhaoer, tonight, as a father, I want to tell you two things about 'doing great things and making great contributions. , Cheng Daye's original formula... Do you two know that my Sima family has been a noble family of the Yin Dynasty with deep roots and leafy roots since the end of Qin Dynasty? Your Taizu Sima Ang is the first generation of Yin King Only because Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, etc. that he was facing at that time were all powerful enemies, so he quit the field of competition sadly, no longer focused on fighting for the king, but calmed down and managed carefully In this way, our Sima family is a famous family with a long history, and it is definitely not comparable to the generations of rural tyrants like the Cao family and Xiahou family in Peijun!

"Moreover, in the family style and family education that our father has received since childhood, we, as a real family, will never base our family on the popular view of 'generations have high-ranking officials from generation to generation', but on the basis of ' From generation to generation, there are talents who are the foundation of the family. Both of you know how brave and mighty my great-grandfather, General Sima Jun, was during his lifetime. Jun) used to be the prefect of Yingchuan, and single-handedly supported the Zhong family, Xun family, Chen family and other famous families in Yingchuan; your grandfather (Sima Fang) was even more wise and unparalleled. He can't help but do things with the utmost courtesy; your two uncles (Sima Hui) are also the crown of Jingchu scholars, and even Zhuge Liang, Pei Qian, Meng Jian and other famous ministers and herdsmen are all from his sect... you Now, with our Sima family's wealth accumulated over the years, plus our own outstanding talents, can't we reach the sky in one step and create even more brilliance?"

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were very excited when they heard this: "Father, don't worry—the child will definitely take advantage of the momentum and make great progress!"

"That's good. As a father, I also believe that you will be able to do it--you will definitely be able to carry on and carry forward the great cause of the Sima family in the Yin Kingdom!" Sima Yi stared at the two of them, and then said slowly, "This year is cool. Have you two seen the picture of the 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' gushing out of the Xuanchuan River in Zhouzhou? How do you feel about it?"

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao looked at each other.Then, Sima Zhao secretly pushed Master Sima.Only then did Master Sima pluck up his courage, stepped forward and bowed, and said: "Father, if the child speaks out what he feels in his heart, don't laugh at the child's self-importance!"

When Sima Yi heard it, he was secretly happy, but there was no change on his face: "Oh? What kind of feeling do you have that you can't say? But it's okay to say it! As a father, I will never laugh!"

"Father, to be honest, from the first time I saw the prophecies of the "Spirit Turtle Profound Stone" prophecies, I secretly felt that these prophecies were written about my Sima family in the Yin Kingdom—"Golden horse was born, Fen hoof Lingyun, great auspiciousness brings prosperity, Dianwu will change'. Doesn't this 'Golden Horse' refer to our Sima family? There is also the word 'Dianwu'. Brother Zhao likes to chew on words, but he saw the 'Dianzhe', Si Ye; Wu Zhe, the meaning of Ma Ye'!"

Sima Yi's heart skipped a beat—what a powerful Sima Zhao!Sure enough, he is quick thinking and discerning!As soon as he thought of this, he was overjoyed, and turned his gaze to Sima Zhao: "My son, your analysis is wonderful..."

Sima Zhao leaned over and said respectfully: "Father, the prophecy on this 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' was indeed fulfilled in our Sima family. My child carefully observed the figure of eight soaring horses on it, It just so happens that the shape of the button of the horse on the 'Yin King's Seal' placed in our ancestral hall is exactly the same..."

Sima Yi listened and thought to himself, you are so smart and obedient!How did you know that the picture of "Eight Steeds Flying into the Sky" on the "Spiritual Turtle Stone" was carved by your grandfather Sima Fang in the Jian'an period of the previous dynasty by craftsmen according to the button of the horse in the "Yin King's Seal".The "Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone" was later transported by Sima Fang to the bank of the Xuanchuan River and buried by all means. It has been 30 years since then!Now holding the ax for his father and holding a heavy army, he ordered Niu Heng to lead people to let it take advantage of the overflow of the river to "come out of the sky and announce the destiny"... But all the inside stories are buried in him forever From the bottom of my heart, I would never tell my son.

After he settled his mind, he said calmly: "Zhaoer, what you said coincided with some words of your father-in-law, Lord Wang Su. He also thought that the prophecy of the 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' was born out of nowhere. It shows that the Sima family of Yin State obeys the times and obeys the people, and the destiny is at stake. Therefore, wise and enlightened people like Dong Zhao, Cui Lin, Gao Rou, He Zeng, Fu Gu, etc. have already returned! They even proposed to After my father defeated Zhuge Liang this time, he jointly elected my father to enjoy Jiuxi and be promoted to prime minister...Yesterday Situ Dong Zhao wrote a secret letter to ask about the situation when my father and Zhuge Liang faced the enemy."

The two brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao looked at each other happily—it seems that the great cause of "emerging from a sudden force, making a late attack, and turning the world around" painstakingly managed by the three generations of the Sima family has finally borne fruitful results today!

Sima Yi took out a silk book from the back of the desk, and pushed it in front of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao.The two of them stared at each other, only to see that there were several lines of bold and agile characters on it:
From Dong Situ personally:
Zhuge Liang has great ambition but doesn't see opportunities, is good at soldiers but has no strategy, is resourceful but seldom decisive, this time he jumped to the west of Liang, even though he raised more than [-] soldiers, he fell into my ingenious plan!There is no need to worry about the public, please wait for the good news.

——It turned out that this was Sima Yi's reply letter to Dong Zhao.

Sima Zhao looked at it, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't know what kind of trick you plan to use against Zhuge Liang, father, to win by surprise?"

"Zhao'er! The 'three-character magic formula' you summed up today is really incisive! To deal with Zhuge Liang for the father, it is to 'be patient first and then use patience, endure first and then find changes, seek changes and then make surprises'!" Sima Yi slowly He said, "Now that Zhuge Liang has the signs of a change in farming and raising soldiers, as a father, he has to adapt to the situation and win by surprise."

"Father Commander wants to rob Zhuge Liang's grain path like he did in Taihe five years ago?" Master Sima asked cautiously.

"Well... Master, you have to remember that to deal with a formidable enemy like Zhuge Liang, you can only use new moves to attack him. No matter how clever and powerful the old moves are, you can't reuse them." The experience of fighting and killing was passed on to these two sons, and he did not hesitate to enlighten and teach them with long speeches, "Now the front line of Xiegu Road has been monitored by Zhuge Liang at five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry. His grain and grass will surely come back against a wall. However, Zhuge Liang’s granary at Wuzhangyuan Dazhai, as a father, I really want to surprise him!"

"Sniping the Shu army's granary that is right in front of you? My father's plan is amazing! However, I heard that Zhuge Liang is now most afraid of his father's raiding his grain and grass. He has set up granaries everywhere around Dazhai in Wuzhangyuan: one is located in The bank of the Wei River in the north; one in Jiupan Mountain in the west corner; Then he said it.

"This Zhuge Liang is really cunning—he even set up a granary with 'Three Cunning Rabbit Caves', which is much smarter than Yuan Shao's hoarding all the grain and grass in Wuchao..." Sima Zhao said with emotion.

Sima Yi walked up in the tent with his hands behind his back, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Whether it's his Weihe Riverside granary, Jiupan Mountain granary, or the upper grain granary. One is the main granary that stores the most grain, and the other two are side granaries that are used to deceive people! After all, Shangfanggu, Weihe Riverside, and Jiupan Mountain are separated by two to three hundred miles. Evenly distributing grain seems to be too much work. Therefore, Zhuge Liang will definitely manage these three granaries in different ways, from light to heavy. As long as a father robs his main grain storage warehouse, his military spirit will be destroyed. There will be chaos, how can his team have enough food to survive this year? The soldiers are short of food and rice, and can't eat enough, how can they farm in the Wuzhangyuan area with peace of mind?"

"Okay! Immediately after my son goes down, we will send out capable personnel to carefully investigate which of the three major granaries of the Shu Army is the main grain storage warehouse!" Master Sima responded very quickly, and immediately answered the question.

On the post road from Xiegu Road to Wuzhangyuan, a group of Shu soldiers led a group of "wooden cows and horses" were walking slowly.

Although it is now the beginning of autumn and July, the hot weather has not cooled down at all.Li Jian, the grain transport officer of the Shu army, straddled a bay red horse, took off all but a single sweater, still shaking his head and sticking out his tongue from the heat.He frowns and frowns bitterly, and stares east and west, wishing he could burrow into the shady woods beside the road and never come out again.

While fanning the cool wind desperately with a flat helmet, he secretly thought that when Lao Tzu's uncle, Lord Li Yan, was in the post of Shang Shuling, Lao Tzu was an official of the Shaofu Temple, and he was very popular and drank spicy food. What blessings have you not enjoyed?Who would have thought that once Zhuge Liang got rid of his uncle, he would "refine officials and streamline administration" and engage in "open selection and appointment, survival of the fittest", drasticly wiped out a large number of "redundant officials" in his eyes, and planted himself A reason of "living in the eunuch temple for a long time and not being close to common affairs" transferred himself from the "fat job" of Shaofu Temple, and came to the Northern Expedition Army to do the chores of protecting food and supervising transportation!This Zhuge Liang simply doesn't treat us as human beings!Hurried around all day long, we are as exhausted as pigs, dogs and cows!Where is he doing the Northern Expedition of "justice"?It is obvious that they want to toss us to death...

Just thinking about it bitterly, Li Jian untied the gourd hanging from his waist, raised his neck, and gulped down a gulp of cold water.But the cold water was quickly steamed by the scorching high temperature into dripping hot sweat, and she drank cleanly!Such a hot ghostly weather, when will there be an end!Such a bumpy road to transport food, when will it come to an end!

A burst of "creaking" sound of wheels rolling interrupted Li Jian's thoughts, and the "wooden cows and horses" were moving in an orderly manner.This Zhuge Liang's creation skills are really amazing - the "wooden ox" looks like a live ox in appearance, with a square belly and curved head, one foot and four hooves, and its shape is very stocky.Its belly is where the grain is stored, which is enough to hold six to seven hundred catties of grain, which is enough for ten soldiers to eat for a month.However, the grain pawns who escort the "wooden ox" don't need to pull it hard. They only need to reverse the "cow's tongue" mechanism of the wooden ox, and the wooden ox can move freely like a live cow, and it can be said to be moving like flying.
