Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 330
Red clouds slowly crowded together in the sky, layer upon layer, covering the thin winter sun.The sound of drumming faintly resounded from the phalanx under the clouds, one after another, shaking the branches of the snow to rustle.The crow flew up from the dead branch, hovered in the air, and looked down.

Liang Ji, Niu Heng, Hu Zun, Niu Jin, Yu Song, Hu Fen and others who accompanied Sima Yi's Northern Expedition to the Taiwei's Mansion and generals stood at the front row of the army's phalanx on horseback, and headed towards the felted building outside the Ximing Gate in Luoyang. Looking at the colorful farewell table.

It turned out that Cao Rui, the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, issued an edict to set up a farewell banquet, and personally led all the civil and military officials to Ximingmen to see Sima Yi off in the Northern Expedition.

On the steep and towering farewell stage, Dong Zhao, Cui Lin, Sima Fu, Lu Yu, Gao Rou, Wang Su, Jiang Ji, Huan Fan, Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan, He Zeng and other generals and officials lined up in two teams on the left and right. kneel.Cao Rui was wearing a bejeweled royal gown, with a solemn and respectful expression, he raised up a bronze statue of the Lord with a hundred birds and a phoenix with both hands, filled it with sparkling grape wine, and slowly handed it over to Sima Yi , and said in an unusually solemn tone: "Sima Aiqing, I wish you the success of the Northern Expedition and your victory return with this wine!"

Sima Yi, who was dressed in a silver helmet and black armor, bent his upper body slightly, stretched out his hands, and respectfully took the farewell wine that Cao Rui handed over, held it in his palm, and at the same time raised his head and looked around slowly.In an instant, the space between heaven and earth became very quiet, and even the "rustling" sound of flakes of snowflakes falling on the platform could be heard very clearly!How similar is this scene to the farewell party held by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao on the eve of the Battle of Chibi 30 years ago!However, the seasons of the two events are different: 30 years ago, the event was held in the hot and golden July, while today's event is held on the 30th day of the icy first month.The places where they are held are also somewhat different: the one [-] years ago was in Xuchang, the capital of the late Han Dynasty, and the one today is in Luoyang, the heart of the Central Plains.However, from Sima Yi's point of view, the essence of the two farewell parties seems to be exactly the same.Right now, among the ministers and generals on the farewell stage, only I, Sima Yi and Situ Dong Zhao, have personally participated in these two farewell parties!Moreover, at today's farewell stage, I, Sima Yi, have completely changed from a spectator who stood by and watched today into a high-spirited protagonist today!Patience, hard work and time can really change everything!

"Sima Aiqing..." Seeing his sighing expression, Cao Rui was so surprised that he couldn't help calling softly.Sima Yi's mind immediately returned to the reality in front of him from endless reminiscences.His pupils lit up, and his burning eyes were directly on Cao Rui's face, and he said deeply: "The old minister would like to thank His Majesty for your kindness. The old minister also hereby respectfully asks His Majesty to rest assured. As long as the veteran is still alive, His Majesty can take the throne and enjoy the infinite blessings of the Great Wei Dynasty! Thinking back to those who were as cunning as Meng Da, those who had strong soldiers like Sun Quan, and those who were as good at strategy as Zhuge Liang, all veterans are already Your Majesty. Suppressing or driving away is no longer a worry. Right now, a mere Gongsun Yuan dares to separate himself and stand on his own in a whimsical way, and he is in a dying struggle at the risk of the mountains and rivers in Liaodong! This trip will surely be captured by His Majesty, and the law of the country will be rectified!"

After hearing these words, Cao Rui's face froze slightly, and he suddenly squeezed out a dry smile, met Sima Yi's eyes, and answered slowly: "Very good, very good. If that's the case, Sima Aiqing you On the day of triumph, I will lead my ministers to host a welcome banquet here!"

Situ Dong Zhao, who had been watching all this quietly, recalled the conversation between Cao Cao and Han Xiandi on the farewell stage outside the Suzaku Gate in Xudu for a moment. How similar today's situation is to that day!Dong Zhao's heart trembled violently, the corners of his mouth slanted, his eyelids blinked, and a cloudy old tear trickled down.God willing!All this is God's will!Who would have thought that the Huanghuang Great Wei had just been established for nearly 20 years, and it has entered the same cycle of heaven as it was when the Han and Wei Dynasties changed!Xun Lingjun is truly a generation of sages!How effective his prophecy was...

Sima Yi knew that Cao Rui was perfunctory himself, just like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty perfunctory Cao Cao on the farewell stage.All this is obvious. In his northern expedition to Liaodong this time, Cao Rui not only allowed himself to bring [-] soldiers and horses to the battle, but also sent Zhao Yan, Guo Huai, Meng Jian, Deng Ai, Wei Ping, Huang Hua and a large number of good advisers were detained in Guanzhong, preventing them from accompanying him in the Northern Expedition.He even issued an imperial edict to the two brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao to stay.He wanted to use his own wisdom to eradicate the Gongsun clan in a situation that was almost the same as a single-handed horse!Although the conditions are so difficult, Sima Yi has no timidity about it.At this time, he still pretended to be very grateful, and nodded vigorously to Cao Rui.

Then, he spun around, and the cloak behind his back spread open like the huge wings of an eagle!In front of all the soldiers in the audience, he drank the jujube farewell wine in his hand up to the sky, looked majestically at the rows of troops standing below the audience, and chanted loudly:

The heavens and the earth are opened up, and the sun and the moon reappear.

Encounter occasions, Bi Li Ya Fang.

Sweep out the filth and pass through the hometown.

Clean up thousands of miles, and the eight wastes will be in order.

His chanting voice seems to be the same as that of Cao Cao back then, it is also so vigorous, so generous, impassioned, so solemn and heroic, just like the long chant of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, far away in the vast snow dome After sending it out, it lingered in the ears and hearts of the soldiers for a long time!
When Sima Yi was chanting up to the sky freely, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, but he clearly saw that Cao Shuang, Xiahouxuan, Huan Fan and others seemed to have faintly changed their expressions.Come to think of it, they were also secretly moved by the majestic, majestic, mighty and domineering aura that overflowed from their chanting!And the Cao Rui standing in front of him was like a dead leaf in the cold wind, his whole body trembling slightly, shivering, and the expression on his face was as green as iron and as stiff as ice!
I must not stimulate the sensitive and suspicious nerves of the nobles and relatives of the Wei family when the time is not yet ripe!At this moment, it is still a big step away from the realm of Taizu Wu Emperor Cao Cao who had power all over the world and overwhelmed Liuhe!It is necessary to suppress one's will and lower one's posture, so as to be "like walking on thin ice, with a restrained spirit".A gleam of inspiration flashed through Sima Yi's mind, and he abruptly swallowed back the eight words of the last poem "Gong Cheng Le Shi, I Wu Weiyang" that had rushed to his mouth, like swallowing an iron egg. The humble tone and posture made an evocative ending to his "Northern Expedition Song" with another eight words: "Give me the old age after success, and wait for my crime to dance with the sun!"

Hearing such a poem with an extremely humble tone, Cao Rui's ashen face gradually eased.As soon as he beckoned, the eunuch serving the banquet at the side immediately comprehended, ran forward, and filled the bronze Fang Jue with a hundred phoenix carvings in Sima Yi's hand.

"The old minister thanked His Majesty!" Sima Yi held the title in his hand, and then paid respects to all the soldiers and officials in the audience, "All the ministers, all the soldiers, in order to wish the great victory of the Northern Expedition and the return of the world to peace , I would like to present a toast to everyone with the fine wine bestowed by His Majesty!"

"Eliminate thousands of miles! All eight barrens! Clear thousands of miles! All eight barrens!" The echoing voices of thousands of soldiers in the audience were high-pitched, like waves of thunder, soaring into the sky, shaking the air Red clouds shatter, snowflakes fall...

But Sima Yi raised the wine bar with both hands like a golden statue, as if toasting to the depths of the high and far sky.There, a round of red sun was gradually breaking through the clouds, and it warmly sprinkled a golden glow, which made his man and eyebrows shine!

Showered in the holy golden brilliance of winter, Sima Yi swore secretly in his heart: "If the destiny is with me and my family, I and my family will bring the world back into unity, end the conflicts in the troubled times, restore peace to all people, spread the world with benevolent government, and create the glory of Yao. The first prosperous age after the three generations of Shun, Shun, and Yu! The emperor and the empress, let us learn from each other!"
