Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 323
Liu Nuo and Niu Jin grabbed the sandalwood scrolls on both sides of the scroll and walked away respectively.On the bottom of the white silk, there are cities woven with golden silk, rivers embroidered with silver thread, peaks and mountains drawn with red thread, lakes and seas embroidered with blue satin...From the Liaodong Peninsula on the right, Youzhou, Jizhou , Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and other state and county maps of various shapes and colors come oncoming, until the foot of Congling in the Western Regions on the left end-it turns out , This is actually a beautiful picture scroll of a map of the world with a length of one foot and four feet!
Sima Yi looked at the huge picture under the bright moonlight, and praised it from the bottom of his heart, what a beautiful Shu brocade!Such an atmospheric treasure map!

"This is the 'Nine Provinces Returning to One Picture'..." Zhuge Liang stretched out his slender fingers and stroked the smooth and bright brocade picture lightly, as if stroking his beloved baby.How many nights during the Northern Expedition and the garrison, he lingered in front of this picture scroll in his sleeping tent wearing a robe and holding on to a candle.Within the radius of the four seas, except for Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou, other large areas of the Central Plains such as Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou have never set foot. He has never even been to Luoyang and Chang'an by himself... And he, in the bottom of his heart, wished so much that he could plant the banner of the great man in every inch of land on the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!But, now, all of this is impossible to achieve in my lifetime...

Under the turmoil of his mood, he couldn't help tearing his eyes, and softly chanted: "Reading poetry and books with hair tied up, self-cultivation and enlightenment, looking up and looking down, keeping a heroic strategy in his chest. He never forgets to worry about the country, and learning the scriptures is always a solution. The people are in trouble. The phoenix and the phoenix think about Gao Xiang. When the world is in trouble, it is time to come to rescue. The thatched hut takes care of three times, and talks about it. Half a lifetime meets a confidant, and the Sri Lankan people return together. Once I go with the king with the piano, and go to collect the dust with a feather fan and a scarf .Longxilongxifengyunhui, a cavity full of green blood reflecting the sky. When I come back, I have a long-cherished wish, and I will be a long-mu citizen for the rest of the year. The breeze and the bright moon are in my arms, and the ape and the crane listen to me and play the piano..."

As Sima Yi listened, he also wept endlessly.

After Zhuge Liang chanted, he concentrated his mind, and his fingers caressed the mountains, the rivers, and the plains, and finally stopped at Nanyang County, Yuzhou, where he lived in seclusion and worked in farming.He stared at it for a long time, and murmured: "How Liang hopes that this giant picture he sees can become a reality... There will no longer be Shu, Wei, and Wu in the world, and Kyushu will be restored." It is unified again, and even the Eastern Hu and Western Qiang have heard the wind and belonged to each other... The weather in the four directions is smooth, the crops are harvested year after year, the government is clean and honest, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the post roads extend in all directions, and the people are one family... The prosperity of the three generations of Yao, Shun and Yu has reappeared today... "

Then, he turned his face and looked at Sima Yi with piercing eyes: "Zhongda, can you accept this treasure map?"

Sima Yi looked at this huge picture of Shu brocade, with a solemn expression on his face, and nodded emphatically.

"Then, this picture, Liang will present it to you now." Finally, Zhuge Liang said this sentence gracefully.Then, he slowly turned around and said leisurely: "Liang, I'm leaving now."

Watching Zhuge Liang's receding back, tears filled Sima Yi's eyes, and suddenly let out a long howl, the whistling sound was as clear as a phoenix, and as deep as a dragon's chant, flying up and down, straight into the sky.

As soon as Zhuge Liang stopped, he pursed his lips, trying to resonate with him—unexpectedly, it caused a slight tingling pain in his chest: it turned out that his lung qi was exhausted, and he could no longer make that clear whistle; Trying my best to respond, I am also powerless...

He closed his eyes, and two strings of clear tears dripped down!

There was a sound of "哗啦", and six shiny golden baht coins fell on the desk and lined up. The hexagram image was Tongren hexagram, and the fourth line in the hexagram changed.

Sima Yi looked peaceful, opened his eyes slowly, pondered for a while, and then lightly opened the "Book of Changes" slips at hand, and saw the hexagram words of Tongren hexagram: "Tongren in the wild, Henry. Li She Dachuan, Lijun Zizhen." The fourth line of the line is: "Take advantage of the embarrassment, Fake attack, auspicious." Facing the hexagram formed by the six baht coins, he gently stroked his long beard, closed his eyes slightly, I fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "The Book of Changes is the most amazing book in ancient and modern times. It hooks deep and far, explores the depths and seeks the secrets. The sages use it to measure the world's affairs, to understand the world's ambitions, and to determine the world's karma. , to break the doubts of the world. My father once ordered you to study and read it carefully. Do you have any experience after studying it recently? Today, you will explain the hexagram in front of my father in detail!"

He asked this question to his two sons.Master Sima stepped forward to take a closer look at the hexagrams and lines, and he was very happy, and said: "Father, it seems that we are going to conquer Zhuge Liang this time, and God will help us, and we will be able to conquer everything! This is the same as the hexagrams, Li She Da Chuan, this statement is indeed true. My son heard the news that the Shu army already knew that Zhuge Liang was critically ill, and people were already panicked and restless! Why didn’t the commander-in-chief take this opportunity to sneak forward and wipe out the Shu bandits in one fell swoop?”

Hearing this, Sima Yi's two long eyebrows trembled slightly: This kid is full of courage and domineering, but he can be called a character who can endure hardships, but he is a little aggressive.He changed his mind slightly in his heart, and was about to speak.

"Wait a minute." Sima Zhao's clear and unusual voice made his heart skip a beat, so he listened silently.

"Brother, please take a look at the fourth line of the Tongren Hexagram: take advantage of Qiyong, Foke attack, auspicious. This shows that although the overall battle situation is greatly beneficial to our army, it is better to be cautious in the use of troops in the near future, and strive to protect the entire division. If you want to win, you should not rush to a battle, and wait for the opportunity to finish the battle."

Sima Yi nodded slightly. Sima Zhaodong took advantage of the opportunity and did not hesitate in the face of things. He was also a generation of strategy wizards.Therefore, he slowly opened his mouth: "Both of you have good opinions. According to my father, this hexagram and this line are the signs of 'quietness is good, and rash action is evil'. A fortuneteller should not be greedy for a moment If you miss the great cause of a lifetime, you must make a decision and then attack. Although Zhuge Liang is seriously ill, the morale of the more than [-] Shu troops under him is still high. After the real death, the camera will move..."

"Father, Zhuge Liang won't live for a few more days!" Master Sima couldn't help reminding.

"It is precisely because he is dying and seriously ill that we need to take extra precautions. What if he uses tricks to lure the enemy into death?" Sima Yi glanced at him coldly. As we approach the moment of final victory, we must walk on thin ice and be cautious!"

As he said that, he bowed his head to look at the hexagrams and lines, as if looking up at a prophet, his eyes were full of infinite trust and respect.Respecting hexagrams and lines, in Sima Yi's mind, means respecting heaven, respecting Tao, and respecting life.He can hardly trust anyone in his life, but he will not believe in the "Book of Changes" on his desk.It is a magic weapon for his decision-making in battle and strategy in dealing with affairs. It guides him step by step towards success and ideals, so he almost only believes in it.In the 22nd year of Jian'an in the previous dynasty, the 38-year-old Sima Yi accompanied Wei Wudi Cao Cao to conquer Yizhou as a assistant. One day before the battle, he made a hexagram for Cao Cao.Nowhere to go, its coming will be auspicious.If there is a future, it will be auspicious.In the sixth line, the words of the line are: Shoot the falcon on Gaoyong for public use, and there will be no disadvantages if you catch it.

According to the hexagrams and lines, after in-depth research and comprehensive analysis of the battle situation at that time, Sima Yi said to Cao Cao: "At this time, Liu Bei used deception to capture Liu Zhang, and the people of Shu may not be willing to follow him! But he didn't care about it." Qing and Sun Quan are fighting for Jiangling far away. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed! Now that the prime minister has suddenly conquered Hanzhong, Yizhou is terrified, and the army and people are uneasy. If you advance quickly and your troops approach you, the enemy will collapse, and the whole of Shu will be won. Please don't lose the time. Please make a clear decision." However, Cao Cao thought that he was young and arrogant, and he uttered rash words, so he sarcastically said: "If a man has no feet, he has a long, and he looks back to Shu?" He didn't take his advice. The troops returned to the north.As a result, as soon as he left, Liu Bei reached a peace agreement with Sun Quan and then came back, left Jiange Pass, killed Xiahouyuan, seized Hanzhong Fortress in one fell swoop, and sealed Cao Cao's southwest gateway to Shu.It was only at this time that Cao Cao came to his senses. He knew that he was not careful in observing his words and had lost a good opportunity.When he was dying, Cao Cao remembered that Sima Yi was right in his words and plans, and he was really a man of great strength, so he was appointed as Cao Pi's Prince Shao Fu, and he was appointed as Cao Pi's prince Shao Fu, to assist Cao Pi to start a foundation and build a business.Looking back on the past and thinking about the present, how could Sima Yi not rely on "Book of Changes" as a standard and regard it as a god?

Master Sima endured and endured, and finally said: "Father, you are still too cautious. According to reports from our eyeliner in the Shu army, Zhuge Liang's long history Yang Yi and his vanguard general Wei Yan have always had a grudge. , if Zhuge Liang dies, the two of them might fight for power... Isn't this the best time for us to take advantage of the opportunity?"

"Hmph! Teacher, you really think Zhuge Liang is too simple! The mere Wei Yan and Yang Yi are probably already in Zhuge Liang's plan, and it is difficult to become a hidden danger to destroy the security of the Shu army! You can't catch anything. Take advantage of the gap." Sima Yi looked at him, "I also know that as a father, you are eager to urge your father to defeat the Shu invaders, and after you have made great achievements, you will respond to the persuasion of Dong Situ, Cui Sikong and others to enter Jiuxi as the prime minister of Jin." What’s the matter? Let me tell you, the old saying is good, only a saint can be safe inside and out. If you are not a saint, you must have internal worries. You must not only see one and not the other; only see the outside, not the inside; only Seeing its advantages, not seeing its disadvantages..."

While he was talking, he heard Niu Heng's voice from outside the curtain of the sleeping tent: "General, my subordinates have something urgent to report!"

"Come in..." Sima Yi could hear a hint of panic in Niu Heng's voice, so he hurriedly replied.

After Niu Heng entered the tent, he clasped his fists and reported to Sima Yi: "General, there is a news report from the imperial court that the Liaodong prefect and Le Lang Gong Gongsun Yuan have rebelled! He has declared himself King of Yan and has raised troops Coming straight to the border of Youzhou..."

"What's going on?" Sima Yi's complexion changed drastically, "It hasn't been long since Gongsun Yuan abolished his uncle and seized the throne, and the court also imprisoned him with the acquiescence of politeness. How could he suddenly have a different will and make trouble?"

"I heard... I heard that His Majesty issued an imperial decree to force him to rebel. His Majesty transferred him to Beijing as a Taiwei by means of explicit promotion and secret surrender, but in the end he was forced to rebel!"

"Your Majesty, this... this... what is he trying to do? Didn't he just add chaos to my Great Wei out of thin air? Why didn't Sun Zi and Liu Fang stop him? Why didn't Shang Shutai stop him? How could he be allowed to act like this? " Sima Yi said angrily.

Niu Heng bent down and said earnestly: "General, it is said that His Majesty's edict was written by himself, and then he put it in his dragon robe and brought it to the Nine Dragon Hall to release it to the public. I was caught off guard, so naturally I couldn't stop it..."

"Alas! This is simply nonsense! To deal with that Gongsun Yuan, I have a plan in mind. Now His Majesty is issuing edicts to scare the snakes. It is really... really tricky!" Sima Yi gritted his teeth to hold back his anger, pondered for a moment, and then Asked, "Pei Qian and the others have made perfect preparations to deal with Gongsun Yuan's chaos?"

"I'm afraid not yet..." Niu Heng replied softly, "Your subordinate will write a secret letter in your name and send it to Master Pei later?"

Sima Yi closed his eyes slightly, and nodded heavily.
