Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 67 Entering the Prime Minister's Palace (2)
"Husband, don't you hurry up and lie down in the house? Let me take care of all the funeral affairs here." Zhang Chunhua had made up his mind, and turned to Sima Yi who was standing blankly at the door of the bedroom.

"Isn't it a bit too cruel for you to do this?" Sima Yi walked into the bedroom slowly, and his gloomy voice pierced through layers of rain curtains came out word by word, "This matter should have been resolved better. way."

"I'm cruel? I... I'm making a decisive decision to avoid future troubles!" Zhang Chunhua slowly dragged Cui He's body to the dry well in the most remote corner of the backyard in the rain.Her voice sounded deep and powerful, and the sound of "swoosh, boom, boom" couldn't hide it at all, "My husband has read so many history books, doesn't he know better than my concubine that 'conspiracies are made by secrets, but defeated by leaks'?" Is there any secret to this? I don’t know more about Cui He’s temperament than you do? She is the one who can’t hide any secrets... If your pretending to be sick is leaked out, Cao Cao’d rather teach me to betray the world, don’t teach me. How could he let you off when people in the world betrayed me? I am afraid that even my father, my eldest brother, and my third younger brother will be implicated by your incident... Forget it! Forget it! This villain needs someone to do it after all."

Her words faded away in the storm, but no more words came out from the bedroom on the courtyard behind her—Sima Yi fell into a deep silence, and he accepted her with this silent silence. All that said.

Get out!

In August of the 12th year of Jian'an (AD 207), Yuan Shao's sons Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi took the last remnants of the Yuan family in Hebei and fled to Shuofang. They colluded with Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun, a Hulu outside the Great Wall, and formed a group of [-] cavalry soldiers. Going south, he launched the last counterattack against Cao Cao who had been chased to Beiping County.

Cao Cao personally led [-] elite soldiers, joined the army with the counselor Guo Jia, and took the fierce general Zhang Liao as the vanguard.After this great battle, Chieftain Wuhuan, who was known as the reincarnation of Maodun Shanyu of the Huns, was killed by Cao Cao's elite "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry". One hundred thousand enemy troops were defeated in one battle. The tribes all looked forward to the wind and surrendered.Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi ran away with their heads in their hands, but were captured and killed by Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong, and the letter was given to Cao Cao.From then on, the Yuan family and the barbarians outside the Great Wall who had occupied Shuofang for decades were wiped out by Cao Cao in one fell swoop.The territory thousands of miles north of the Yellow River and millions of soldiers and civilians are under Cao Cao's complete control.

After Cao Cao pacified the North and cleared the Central Plains, he immediately issued a Jun decree, which spread all over the world: "It has been nearly 20 years since I rebelled and suppressed the riots! But what I can conquer must be conquered." , There is no way forward, how can I do it alone? It is really the help of the wise men and officials! Although the world has not yet been determined, I swear that it will be determined together with all the wise men and officials! There are virtuous and talented people in the world, you must know My sincerity, I will open a pavilion to welcome them!"

This Jun Order stirred up waves in the court and the opposition. Sure enough, celebrities and heroes from all states and counties in the world came out in full outfit after hearing about it, like crucian carp crossing the river, rushing to Xudu from all directions to join Cao Cao's command. potency.

On the sixth day after this Jun Order was handed down to Xiaojingli in Wen County, Sima Lang Qingchejian, who was the master of Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion, quietly returned to Sima Mansion.

It was night, and the lamps and candles were burning in Sima Yi's bedroom, which was as bright as day.He had already shunned Zhang Chunhua and all the servants, so he lay on the couch and had a secret conversation with his elder brother Sima Lang.

"Second brother, just take a look at this..." Sima Lang took out a red lacquer wooden box from his robe sleeve, and handed it to Sima Yi.

"This is..." Sima Yi gently opened the wooden box, only to see two jade balls as big as eggs quietly flowing in the box with a dazzling green brilliance, which made his brows green.

"Cao Sikong never forgets his second brother, and he is determined to win! Since Guo Jiajun died of illness during the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, Cao Sikong's desire for young talents seems to be much stronger than before..." Sima Lang pointed to the red lacquered wooden box. Two jasper balls, said slowly, "He heard that the beautiful condensed jasper jade from Khotan can relax the tendons and activate collaterals, and heal wind pain, so he specially asked the special envoy of the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions to go to Khotan to buy these two jasper balls as a gift. You, the second brother. He also said that if you are really sick, he will carry you to Xudu to work for him. He promised to let a special person and a concubine come to take care of the daily life of the second brother."

"Ah! The more Cao Cao is so close to the virtuous and talented, and he recruits all the soldiers, the more grand and magnificent his plans are hidden in his chest, and the more extraordinary the success he pursues..." Sima Yi took out the box from the wooden box The two jasper balls were held in the palms of the hands and turned slowly. When the jade balls collided, there were bursts of thick and dense voices, "I am afraid that Yuan Shao, the great general who has been occupying the Xudu court before, So, Cao Mengde may not be paying attention to him at this moment, right?"

"Second brother, you are really clever!" Sima Lang couldn't help being startled when he heard Sima Yi's words, he stared at him for a long while, and then whispered in his ear, "This time, Cao Sikong is coercing to 'pacify Hebei, Great After returning to Xudu with his great feats of winning a complete victory, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he wanted to take advantage of the momentum and monopolize the imperial court."

"Hmm... It seems that we will change our name to this Cao Sikong and call him 'Prime Minister Cao' in a short time." Sima Yi slightly closed his eyes, still playing with the one in his palm leisurely. To Jasper Ball, "Now, only the position of 'Prime Minister' is worthy of Cao Mengde."

"Then, second brother, if he comes to enlist you again this time, how are you going to respond?" Sima Lang was most concerned about this question.

Sima Yi still kept his eyes closed, and twirled the two jasper balls in his palm: "Nowadays, the general situation of the world has tilted towards his Cao clan, and this Cao Mengde is also powerful enough to stand up, and my younger brother has to do it this time." Taking advantage of the trend, we should open up the mountain..."

"Second brother finally decided to go out of the mountain this time?" Sima Lang thought for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Is it a bit too abrupt?"

The jasper ball that was slowly turning in Sima Yi's hand suddenly stopped, and he said leisurely, "That's right. My younger brother has been suffering from wind numbness for a long time, and he suddenly healed up. I'm afraid that Cao Cao will inevitably have doubts in his heart—this is also true. It is indeed a little too abrupt. I heard that there is a genius doctor beside Cao Cao, named Hua Tuo, who is an old man from the same county as Cao Cao, and Cao Cao trusts him. So you invite him with a lot of money to treat the younger brother slowly, and then My little brother’s wind-related paralysis will naturally ‘get better’, and he will be cured at that time. No matter how suspicious Cao Cao is, he won’t randomly suspect Hua Tuo’s unparalleled medical skills, right?”

"Very good. Everything will be done according to the second brother's high opinion." After hearing this, Sima Lang nodded happily, "Actually, elder brother has been looking forward to your coming as soon as possible in Xuduli. In this way, elder brother shoulders I can find my second brother, a good helper, to share and advance together..."

Hundred Ren blood book

In a bamboo house in the back garden of Sima Mansion, Sima Fang was sitting beside a few desks, quietly studying the ancient remnant chess game that was said to be a game between Duke Zhou and Jiang Shang.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk", the bamboo door was tapped lightly a few times outside.

"Who is it?" Sima Fang asked with his right hand holding the chess pieces in the air above the chessboard, turning his head and asking slowly.

"Father, the child has come to pay his respects." Sima Yi's voice came from outside the bamboo gate.

"Oh... so it's Yi'er!" Sima Fang slowly put the chess piece back into the chess bowl, straightened his clothes, sat down on the seat, and said slowly, "Come in."

Sima Yi responded respectfully from outside, gently pushed open the bamboo door, and walked in.

"Yi'er, you have just recovered from your wind numbness, and it seems that you should rest in bed." Sima Fang put the volume of chess records in his left hand on his lap, and slowly stroked his beard with his right palm, his gaze He looked straight at Sima Yi seriously, "If there is nothing urgent, you don't have to pay your respects so formally."

Sima Yi stopped six feet in front of him, bowed his hands and replied: "My lord, how can the filial piety and filial piety that our Sima family has practiced for many years can be lightly discarded just because the child is unwell? My child hereby expresses his gratitude to him." Greetings, Father."

After hearing this, Sima Fang had no choice but to follow what he said, so he looked solemn, straightened his body, and immediately sat upright like a bell, quietly accepting his deep salute.Then, he opened his mouth and said: "That's it. You sit down now—Yi'er, you have accepted the bibliography sent by the special envoy Cao Sikong sent for more than three days. I wonder what plan Yi'er has in mind this time? "

"This... Father must have thought of a very comprehensive response strategy for the child - the child respectfully listens to the father's instructions." Sima Yi leaned over and said hurriedly while sitting on the side seat.He was very familiar with his father's way of talking, and he didn't really need to answer such questions from his father.It was just a transition, to draw out the important thoughts in his own chest.Therefore, facing such a question from his father, Sima Yi only needs to "listen respectfully to the express instructions".

Sure enough, Sima Fang began to talk eloquently: "Cao Sikong's conquest this time is quite different from the previous situation: he swept away Shuobei, his foundation was solid, and he pretended to be the Duke of Zhou. You will never give up the face he gave Flick! Moreover, before enlisting you, he said to his special envoy: "If this son is still lingering, I will immediately tie him in and let everyone come to see you."... Alas, my son is always pregnant. The ambition to be good for one's own body, and to be good for the world', now the situation is pressing, I'm afraid my son can't help himself!"

"That's right. My boy really has no excuse to refuse Cao Sikong's conquest this time." Sima Yi said slowly, raising his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, "And...if the personnel and personnel are handed over today, my boy should also go out of the mountain and go to Xudu for My Sima family's great cause has worked side by side with my elder brother."

"Well... Yi'er has really grown up and matured! What you said is really good!" Sima Fang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at him with a smile for a moment, and then nodded gracefully, "Yes, I am Sima. After all, the grand plan and great cause of the family depends on the unity of the eight of you brothers, and your profit will break the gold!"

As he spoke, he stood up, walked to a bookshelf in the corner of the room, and took down a bright silver box engraved with exquisite patterns of white tigers and black leopards from it.

With the sound of "Zheng", the silver box slowly opened: a crystal-clear, blue-green horse button with a square jade seal was revealed—the four seal characters on the jade seal of the king of Yin are majestic, flying and agile, and seem to be off the print And it jumped out in front of my eyes.

"Yi'er, this is the token of our Sima family who broke the soil and claimed the king and opened the foundation!" Sima Fang held the jade seal of the Yin king in his palm, and slowly lifted it in the air, letting Sima Yi look up and study it. For generations, they belonged to the royal family of Yin. They were born in a noble and noble family. Lowly, in order to cover up your ugliness, you have to recruit the virtuous Prime Minister Cao Shen to pretend to be your ancestors as a cover!"

Sima Yi looked at the bright green jade seal of Yin Wang, and a surge of passionate heat surged in his chest, and he felt that his whole body was so full of energy that he could lift up the sky and the earth, and swallow rivers and mountains.
