Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 347 Wisdom eliminates dissidents, Sima Yi is the third minister who entrusts Gu to assist the government (8)
Sima Yi's old friend Pei Qian served as General Zhenbei; Sima Yi's staff member Wang Chang served as Zhennan General; Sima Yi's shogunate military adviser Zhao Yan served as General Pingxi; Gao Rou served as Tingwei; Jing, Yu, Xu, Yang, Yong, Liang, You, Ji, Yan, Qing and other ten prefectures and counties, seventy-eight out of ten were from Sima Yi's disciples and former officials, especially Deng Shu, the general who conquered Shu. Ai, Governor of Jingzhou Zhoutai, and Governor of Xuzhou Zhuge Dan were the most outstanding;
……

At the first sight, Zhong Yu couldn't help but secretly startled: It turns out that the power network of the Sima clan is so wide and dense!They are present all over the court and all over the place!
He murmured to himself: "This... this... this is too unbelievable! He...the Sima family's ambition of 'stealing the sky for the sun' will be realized in the end?"

"Does this need to be said?" Zhong Hui slowly rolled up this piece of silk carefully, and said in a deep voice, "Sima Yi is not only outstanding in himself, but also his brothers, relatives, old friends, and disciples. Waiting for a first-class talent? The abilities of the two brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao alone, in my opinion, are far superior to Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan!"

Zhong Yu slumped down on the seat, and sighed deeply: "This...isn't this the ominous sign of Wang Mang's rebirth and Dong Zhuo's rebirth?"

"Where can Sima Yi be compared to Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo?" Zhong Hui sneered, "His accomplishments in literature, governance and martial arts in his life are at least not inferior to that of the great ancestor Weiwu Emperor Cao Cao...ah! To be able to live in the same era as him I can also watch and learn from the wonderful drama he made up during the change of dynasty, I am so excited!"

"Brother, you...you...what do you mean?" Zhong Yu asked in surprise.

Zhong Hui knew that he had lost his composure just now, so he hurriedly calmed down and moved the topic away: "Father was so stupid back then, he has been silently and willingly busying himself for others."

At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart: when the current political situation is in turmoil, I will naturally follow the example of Sima Yi in the past, "If you want to be established, you must first establish others; if you want to achieve yourself, you must first achieve others." Attaching to his Sima family and simultaneously growing myself... I just want to gamble everything on this one, the bet is whether I can become the "second Sima Yi"!
The spring in the south of the Yangtze River is naturally faster than that in the north and central China.It has only been February, and the waters along the banks of the five thousand-mile Yangtze River are already in full bloom, singing and dancing, and there is a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere everywhere.

However, the mood of Sun Quan, the lord of the Wu Kingdom, showed no signs of relaxation and joy.He looked out from the high "Wangbei Pavilion" in the imperial palace of Jianye City, and twisted his thick eyebrows tightly: "In just this short year, I never thought that Gongsun Yuan would perish so quickly, and the false emperor Cao Rui would perish so quickly." He was killed, and Sima Yi became the chief assistant of the puppet Wei so soon, and took over the military and political power of the puppet Wei! I heard that Sima Yi issued a "Ping Wu" to the civil and military officials on the day he supported the puppet young emperor Cao Fang to ascend the throne. The call to exterminate Shu and unify Liuhe'... Alas! My Great Wu is about to enter into troubled times again!"

Lu Xun, Gu Yong, Quan Cong, Zhuge Ke, Sun Jun and other officials standing behind him also looked sad and worried.

"Bo Yan, according to Qing's opinion, how should we, Great Wu, prepare to resist the rampant invasion of Wei's bandits?" Sun Quan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked Lu Xun directly by name.

The worry on Lu Xun's face faded, revealing a look of deep thought. After a while, he came out and played solemnly: "Your Majesty is able to plan for the rainy day and worry about the world's worries. I admire you. According to the old minister, the current situation, Sima Yi was in power in the puppet Wei Dynasty, and my Great Wu’s troubles will indeed be more serious than when the puppet emperor Cao Rui was alive! Sima Yi is a cunning, unpredictable, far-sighted and far-sighted thief, and his talents are not inferior to Cao Cao. I, Da Wu, must not take it lightly!
"In the eyes of the veteran, the best solution at present is to form an alliance with Xishu, echo the east and the west, and advance side by side, forcing the puppet Wei to be unable to take care of both left and right, and to overwhelm the puppet Wei monarch and ministers in terms of momentum first, so that can be achieved' Anti-customer-based, attack-based defense', keep the foundation of Dawu solid;

"The middle strategy is to collect troops and stick to the five fortresses along the river including Changsha, Wuchang, Wancheng, Dongguan, and Jianye, accumulate food widely, repair ships more, and train troops frequently, so as to 'join hands with left and right, respond to each other' To prevent the Wei thief's circle of influence from expanding to within [-] miles of the north bank of the Yangtze River..."

"Okay, I just need to listen to and decide on your best policy and middle policy—I don't want to listen to your 'bad policy'." Sun Quan suddenly interrupted Lu Xun's memorial, walking around in circles, while pondering slightly Get up, "Now that Zhuge Liang of Western Shu is dead, does Liu Chan have any ambitions to join us in sending troops to cut off the puppet Wei? Boyan, your best strategy is a bit too 'wishful thinking'! It's yours. This middle policy came without delay or haste, and it was neither false nor superficial, and I thought it could be adopted in time.

"However, I also need to make some revisions: the two important towns of Changsha and Wuchang are strictly guarded by you Boyan in the west; the two fortresses in the middle section of the Yangtze River, Wancheng and Dongguan, are guarded by Zhuge Ke and Quan Cong; In Jianye Capital, I will come and sit here in person—after we have enough food and equipment, we, Great Wu, will march forward again and again, and go north to crusade against the puppet Wei!"

At this time, Gu Yong took a step forward, bowed and played humbly: "Your Majesty, your decision is both offensive and defensive, tough and soft. It is really wise and wise, and the old minister is deeply impressed. However, under the current situation , The old minister foolishly thought that our great Wu army should not rush forward easily before the three-way parallel advance and the large-scale northern expedition.

"Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. Now Cao Shuang, a descendant of the pseudo-Wei Sugui, is assisting Sima Yi side by side. However, Cao Shuang is powerful because of the close relatives of the Wei family, and Sima Yi is powerful because of the old minister with a different surname. How can the two share the same bed and dream together? Huh? If our great army of Wu goes northward and rushes to attack and shock the central plains, they will inevitably have to work together to avoid common harm and join forces, and our army will not succeed! Fa, in this way, under the circumstance that the external aggression is not serious, they may kill each other because of different ideas, fight for power and gain, and both sides will suffer. Then our army can sit back and reap the benefits!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xun beamed with joy, cupped his hands and said in agreement: "Your Majesty! Prime Minister Gu's words are indeed a sophisticated strategy for the country. I beg your majesty to accept it!"

After hearing this, Sun Quan cast his deep eyes on Lu Xun's face, then turned back and stroked Gu Yong's face, with an inexplicable smile on his lips: "Lu Aiqing, Prime Minister Gu, you two are singing this song." He and He, echoing left and right, have a tacit understanding, and the tacit understanding is extremely good! You both said that, if I disagree with the brilliant suggestion you both put forward, wouldn't I become a foolish king who doesn't know how to judge? Everything will be as it is. Do it with your two opinions!"

Hearing his words, Gu Yong and Lu Xun couldn't help feeling a little bit of embarrassment and discomfort in their hearts. They looked at each other sideways, and there were deep wry smiles in each other's eyes.

After sending away Lu Xun, Gu Yong, Zhuge Ke, and Quan Cong, Sun Quan asked Sun Jun to stay alone.

"Do you have any new information about the secret operations and dark lines you planted in the puppet Wei territory?"

"According to the detailed work buried in the territory of the puppet Wei Dynasty, Sima Yi has suspended the use of troops against Wu due to insufficient military supplies when he committed the crime in the South this year, and will only raise troops to attack Wu next year."

"Well... that's great! We can buy another year to stockpile food and prepare weapons, and stick to ourselves!" Sun Quan felt relieved when he heard the news, but he changed his mind and went back to Instructed Sun Jun, "You did a good job just now. Don't disclose this news to any third party for now, so as not to vent their enthusiasm.

"From now on, you will let the eyeliners of the school affairs office keep a close eye on Lu Xun, Gu Yong, Zhu Ran and other senior officials. If they have any signs of misconduct, they will report it immediately."

"Yes. My minister obeys the order." Sun Jun bowed and answered with a face of humility.

Sun Quan stared at his back and slowly withdrew from the pavilion, but secretly thought in his heart, I must not allow a "Sima Yi"-style power minister to appear in my Great Wu Dynasty!This is what I should be most concerned about right now!By the way, Sima Yi benefited from the battle for the establishment of an heir between Wei Gong Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers!I, Da Wu, will never let a sinister talent like Sima Yi intervene in the battle for the imperial palace!However, recently, school officials have reported that Lu Xun and my prince, Sun He (the former prince of Wu, Sun Deng, has died of illness, and Sun Quan's beloved son, Sun He, has taken over the position of prince) is extremely frequent, and the relationship between them is very frequent. It was also unusually warm, and Sun He's crown prince Fu Wucan even invited Lu Xun to the East Palace to give lectures to the group of bureaucrats.Could it be that this Lu Xun is ready to control He'er after ten thousand years?no!I have to support He'er with a clan vassal to check and balance these ministers with different surnames on his behalf.From my point of view, Ba'er, He'er's half-brother, is quite talented, and it would be best if he grows up to help He'er as a close relative of the clan!Tomorrow, I will issue an edict with my own hand, and Jin will make Sun Ba the King of Lu, and allow him to establish a mansion, build his teeth, and cultivate his wings, so that he has enough power to openly compete with Lu Xun, Gu Yong and other ministers with different surnames...
