Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 353 Brother Sima recruits soldiers (6)
"Mr. Ma Zhao asked a good question!" Shi Bao seemed to regain his energy immediately when he heard it, and he preached brightly, "The people in Huainan are truly an important town for military strategists. The whole territory of Huainan is like a huge tripod, with three legs in it. : One is Hefei City, the other is Wancheng City, and the third is Dongguan City. Today’s Great Wei has acquired Hefei City in the northern part of Huainan. Hefei is adjacent to Chaohu Lake in the south. It is the best place to manufacture ships and train sailors. However, the Wu thief crossed the north of the river, occupied Dongguan in the east and blocked it, and forced it by relying on Wancheng in the south, so the land of Hefei and Chaohu would be choked! If Shi Mou holds the festival in Huainan, he must regard Wancheng and Dongguan as unacceptable The thorn in the flesh that cannot be pulled out, is bound to do everything in its power to seize it first! Only by taking down the two cities of Wancheng and Dongguan can it be regarded as a true decision in the battle of Huainan, and it can be regarded as the victory of the puppet Wu Jiangbei. All the fan screens were completely withdrawn! Since then, our Great Wei Army has occupied all the advantages of Huainan, facing the puppet Wu across the river, and facing the south of the Yangtze River!
"Brother Ma must also know that there are six fortresses in the Yangtze River line of the fake Wu: Changsha, Wuchang, Chaisang, Wancheng, Dongguan, and Jianye. Among them, the four cities of Changsha, Wuchang, Chaisang, and Jianye are fake. An important town stronghold in the south of Wujiang, while Wancheng and Dongguan are the fortresses of the pseudo-Wujiang north. The wonderful function of Wancheng is to protect Chaisang; After leaving the two cities of Wancheng and Dongguan, the entire territory of Huainan will be cleared, and then take advantage of the momentum to use Hefei, Wancheng, and Dongguan as bases, and use Chaohu Lake as the base for naval training. Going east can directly press Jianye, and going south You can look down on Chaisang and let the puppet Wu fall into an open and extremely passive situation! Then, our army will guard the north of the river and stare at it. When the boats in Chaohu Lake are complete and the navy is well trained, we can sail with the wind and drive across. Take Jiangnan in one fell swoop!"

"Okay! Shi Junguo has Han Xin's strategy, and he has a talent for nothing!" Ma Zhao also beamed with joy when he heard it, and turned his head to look at Ma Si and praised, "Brother! Dedicated to my father, my father really doesn't know how happy he should be!
Listening to their compliments, Shi Bao also smiled slowly, stood up slowly, and suddenly bowed deeply to them: "Master Sima, Master Sima Zhao, Mr. Shi was rude earlier, please forgive me." Forgive me!"

Seeing Shi Bao's behavior, Master Sima was stunned: "So Mr. Shi, you have already seen through the identities of my two brothers?"

Shi Bao smiled deeply and said: "The two adults both have the extraordinary appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the majestic demeanor of a high-ranking master. How can all these be covered up by simple clothes?"

Master Sima smiled, and slowly stretched out his hand to him, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Shi, from now on, Master will treat you with the courtesy of a teacher and friend. Tomorrow, Master will personally send a letter of appointment and silk, and ask you to be the guardian of Master." The post of Sima in the military bureau!"

"This... Let Shi Mou think about it for a while." Shi Bao's thoughts changed, but he refused to easily abdicate and accept the job.

Master Sima was overwhelmed by his answer and couldn't help being embarrassed.At this time, Sima Zhao said with a smile: "Oh! Mr. Shi Bao, Zhao almost forgot one important thing. Before my two brothers came to pay a visit to Mr. Shi Bao today, my father also asked me to send you a gift. Just now We got so excited talking among each other that we almost forgot about it..."

"What gift?" Shi Bao was surprised.

"A few days ago, my father asked His Majesty for instructions, and issued an imperial edict to approve and punish a large number of corrupt officials. The prefect Wei Zhen who was reported by Mr. Shi Bao in Bohai County for his filthy deeds—well, he has already climbed to the top Don’t drive in Jizhou—he’s still being dismissed from office and exiled to Liaodong to guard the border!” Sima Zhao stared deeply at Shi Bao, and said unhurriedly, “This is what my father specially entrusted my brothers to bring you. A meeting gift here. I wonder if Mr. Shi Bao is satisfied?"

When Shi Bao heard this, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.As if being struck by a bolt of lightning that fell from the sky, he didn't react for a while!After a while, he bowed deeply with tears all over his face: "Teacher Sima gave such a generous meeting gift, and I can only repay it with my blood and loyalty!"

Sima Yi's birthday

"Come... come... Ziyong (Wang Su's character is "Ziyong"), these are walnuts sent by my hometown in Wen County, Hanoi County," Sima Yi pointed to a large plate of walnuts on the table, Greeted warmly to Wang Su, "Eat one, it's a good food for brain and fitness!"

Wang Su looked at the table, searching everywhere: "Zhongda, where is the hammer? If you don't give me the hammer, how can I eat these walnuts?"

"You can still eat walnuts without breaking them with a hammer." Sima Yi smiled lightly, reached out and picked up a hard walnut from the plate, slowly put it into his mouth, and cracked it hard with a "crack". The shell was bitten to pieces, "My teeth are fine."

Wang Su looked at him deeply: "Good teeth, good health. Zhongda, your iron body is really a blessing to our country!"

Sima Yi didn't respond immediately, but silently handed a handful of fresh and crisp walnut meat into Wang Su's palm.Then, with his hands behind his back, he stood up slowly, walked to the window, looked at the golden leaves of a tree in the garden outside the window through the white screen, and murmured: "Although my age I am old, but my ambition of 'cleaning up thousands of miles and bringing together the eight barrens' has never aged. Ziyong, do you know? In the spring of next year, I will lead the Great Wei army to go east to Yangzhou Let's go to Huainan!"

"Zhongda, your majestic achievements will definitely be recorded in the annals of history forever, and will be handed down forever!" After hearing this, Wang Su's complexion tightened, and he praised deeply.

"No matter how brilliant the great achievements are, they may be just a flash in the pan. Only by "establishing morality" like the great Han Jinghou Xunyu and "establishing words" like the old Chen Si Wang Cao Zhi, can we be as bright as the sun and the moon, and live the same life as the heaven and the earth. Yes!" Sima Yi waved his hand lightly, and said slowly, "Yuan Ze recently wrote a very good passage in his book "Shi Yao Lun", 'The husband writes book theory, but he wants to explain the great way, Explain the sacred teachings, deduce the truth of the matter, do the best of all kinds, record right and wrong, and regard it as a standard. It was feasible at that time, and later generations can cultivate it. Moreover, the ancients were rich and honored, but their fame and humbleness were abolished. It is indescribable. It is an immortal ear. The husband was famous before a hundred generations, and has been famous for thousands of years. It is because those who read it will benefit, and those who hear it will feel it. Is there no loss or gain? However, secular people don’t understand rituals, but they use overflowing words, which do not have beneficial meanings, no. Therefore, the author does not value the beauty of his diction, but values ​​its preservation; It hurts righteousness. The old husband’s petty debate breaks the way, and the madman’s brilliant writing is the disease of a saint.’Ziyong, you are also a scholar of erudition, so you must carefully understand his words... ..."

"Yuan Ze's writing is really nothing to say." Wang Su nodded deeply, and sighed softly, "But in the past few years, he has been a little bit close to us, and he has gotten too close to Brother Cao Zhaobo... He shouldn't Do this! Zhong Da, you have always treated him well..."

Sima Yi raised his hand slowly and stopped him: "Don't you think that what he said just now is actually secretly criticizing Uncle He Ping and Xiahou Taichu with their strong words, and they disturb people's hearts by making small arguments? After all, Yuan Ze has a sense of restraint. A righteous generation of national scholars who can't see the chaos of the rules and regulations, justify the reason and disregard the relatives, will definitely not be like Deng Yang and Ding Mi who sell themselves for glory and have narrow selfishness!"

As soon as Wang Su heard the names of Uncle He Ping and Xiahou Taichu, he became very angry: "He Yan and Xiahouxuan, the two traitors of the holy sect, are completely sycophants like Hong Gong and Shi Xian! The extravagant rhetoric, bewitching people's minds and destroying the Dao, caused the students in the Taixue to be in a mess. All of them put the hypocrisy first, and the respect for morality and virtue as the end. If it goes on for a long time, what is so great about it? "

When Sima Yi heard this, he also sighed deeply: "Yes! He Yan and Xia Houxuan have disturbed the hearts of scholars all over the world with fallacies and heresies, and I am also very worried! All of this, I beg you, Ziyong, to use the holy scriptures Great way to turn the tide!"

Wang Su shook his head straight, and said: "Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! He Yan and Deng Yang have almost emptied Lu Yu in the official office now, but they are trying their best to install their flamboyant friends. Xia Houxuan is in Dahong When he was in office, he also preached the Taoist theory of quietness and inaction everywhere, which would make the scholars lose their morale! Wang has debated with them no less than five or six times, and he can't do anything alone!"

Sima Yi was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Alas... Xia Houxuan and He Yan's academic principles are not based on a great book and source that has not been passed down from generation to generation! Where did Xia Houxuan's ancestors have any outstanding scholars? He Yan's grandfather He Jin is nothing but a dog butcher and wine seller! If we talk about the academic origin, it is still the Xun family of Yingchuan and the Yang family of Hongnong who have a long and profound aura!"

"That's right! Thinking about the glorious scene of our Xun, Yang, Sima, and Wang four aristocratic families competing for splendor and leading the fashion in Xudu - what a memorable scene!" Wang Su sighed with deep sympathy, "Nowadays, the Xun family and the Yang family are all in ruins. It really makes people feel that creatures are right and wrong."

"Oh, by the way, Yi remembered that Xun Yi, the sixth son of Xun Lingjun, had always had a good reputation. Shu Da (Sima Fu's word is "Shu Da") praised him as 'knowledgeable and well-informed, and thoughtful and thoughtful', just because he was Xun Yi. How can Yi just sit back and watch this indifferently? I must write a letter to advise His Majesty to be magnanimous, break the rules and accept talents, and enlist him as the Minister of Zhongshu!" Sima Yi walked firmly, and said resolutely, "Also, Yang Jun, the grandson of Taiwei Yang Biao, also has the talent of writing, writing and thinking, and Yi also plans to appoint him as the literary chief of Taifu's residence, what does Ziyong think?"

"Good! Good! Good! Zhongda, you dare to destroy the old style and waste the sluggishness. You really have the style of Duke Zhou!" Wang Su clapped his palms happily and praised, "You single-handedly promoted Xun Yi and Yang Jun, and the world will be changed." All the famous scholars in the Confucianism respect you!"

"Ah...Ziyong, why did I promote Xun Yi and Yang Jun in order to win the admiration of the scholars and people in the world?" Sima Yi looked at the long floating clouds in the sky, with tears in his eyes, as if remembering Many past events, "Xun Jinghou's benevolence and Yang Taiwei's loyalty, can be said to be 'the sky cannot die, the earth cannot be buried, and the world of Jiezhi cannot be polluted'. It is still exciting to think about it! Their great benevolence and righteousness, with their lives The feat of dying for one's will is enough to benefit future generations. Yi is just following the heavens and responding to people and promoting virtuous people for the country. How dare he covet the reputation of the Duke of Zhou?"

"Su has always empathized with Zhongda's deep sincerity. Alas... Zhongda, why didn't you take advantage of the momentum early last year to accept our "promotion to the prime minister and congratulations to Jiuxi"? You? , or too constrained by virtue and loyalty to the great Wei..." Wang Su said halfway, then suddenly lowered his voice and approached again, "Actually, everything has a turning point, as long as we are willing to make up for it now, there is still time for everything. Zhong Da, if you continue to spread the benefits and attract people's hearts, you will be able to embrace all rivers and reach the pinnacle!"

"Oh? Extensive benefits? What kind of benefits? Ziyong, please be more specific."
