The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 611 610 The Burning Yangtze River (50)

In the hall of the county government office, Zhang Yan finally dispatched another wave of officials who came to impeach Sima Yi, and reported to the former general Tai Shici's deputy Shen Bao that he wanted to see him.

Therefore, Zhang Yan had to meet Shen Bao again.But this time, there was a big difference. As soon as Shen Bao came in from the outside, he immediately knelt on the ground and asked Zhang Yan to make decisions for him.

After some questioning, Zhang Yan found out that Sima Yi had taken Tai Shici away.

"It's too much!" Zhang Yan said angrily after hearing Shen Bao's words, "What does this Sima Yi want to do? The king trusts him so much and appointed him as General Pingnan. He's crazy!"

Seeing that Zhang Yan was angry, Shen Bao immediately added fuel and jealousy, and explained in detail how Sima Yi captured Tai Shici.

However, Shen Bao exaggerated many of these points, otherwise, he would not be able to anger Zhang Yan, let alone severely punish Sima Yi.

After Zhang Yan finished listening, he blew his beard and stared in anger, and said to Shen Bao: "This king knows what you said, and I will send someone to find out about it. If it is really Sima Yi's Wrong, this king will definitely punish him severely. You go back first and wait for the good news in the barracks!"

"Here!" Shen Bao didn't think too much, and after receiving Zhang Yan's words, he immediately left the hall, his whole face was still filled with joy, and he thought secretly: "Sima Yi, this time I see How did you end up!"

After Sima Yi mobilized the navy, he extended his hand to the army again, and directly aimed at the former general Tai Shici from the beginning. Is this knocking the mountain to shake the tiger, or killing the chicken to scare the monkey?
Although Zhang Yan knew about Sima Yi's plan early on, he never thought that Sima Yi's actions would be so fast. From the moment Sima Yi was appointed as General Pingnan to now, it was only half a month. He blamed Huang Zhong, dismissed Huang Zhong from his military post, and dismissed many generals of the navy, and then promoted a group of people to fill the vacancies, carried out a large-scale rectification of the navy, and through military training, selected a team composed of The elite soldiers composed of 3000 people only obeyed his own orders, and he also formulated a series of strict military regulations and disciplines.

Zhang Yan knew this series of actions well, but he thought that Sima Yi's rectification of military discipline would be limited to the navy, but he never expected that Sima Yi would also extend his hand to the army.

The army is Zhang Yan's main army. The reason why he dared to hand over the navy to Sima Yi was because most of the navy was descended from Jingzhou, and the combat effectiveness of the navy was indeed inferior. No harm.However, this time Sima Yi stretched his hand too far, and he stretched out his hand directly without reporting to him beforehand. Anyone, no matter who it was, would definitely be angry.

Zhang Yan is also a person, he also has emotions, emotions, joys, anger, sorrows and joys, so he is no exception, very angry.

"Let Sima Yi come to see me immediately!" After Shen Bao left, Zhang Yan ordered angrily.

At this moment, Sima Yi brought Tai Shici to the camp of the Jingzhou navy, directly locked Tai Shici into the cell of the navy camp, and ordered him to guard him strictly.

Who is Tai Shici? He used to be one of the five tiger generals under Zhang Yan, king of Yan.

Sima Yi swaggered into the water army camp with Tai Shici, and the soldiers were very curious. At first they thought that Tai Shici was here as a guest, but after a closer look, they felt that something was wrong.Sima Yi rode a horse, Tai Shici's hands were tied, and under the escort of a group of soldiers, he entered the water army camp.

How did the dignified former general, one of the former five tiger generals, become like this?
The soldiers speculated one after another, and there were different opinions. Some said that Tai Shici might have committed something and was arrested, while others said that Sima Yi was so awesome that even Tai Shici dared to arrest him. Anyway, you say what you say. Yes, there was a lot of discussion, saying everything.

Just when everyone was guessing what was going on, a Jin Yiwei rode a fast horse and rushed into the water army camp. The soldiers guarding the door saw Jin Yiwei's visit, so they didn't dare to stop them, so they gave up a road.

Jin Yiwei rode a fast horse and rushed directly to the big tent of the Chinese army. As soon as he jumped off his horse, he rushed to the people guarding the door of the big tent and shouted, "Where is Sima Yi, General Pingnan?"

Jin Yiwei has always been a maverick, he only listens to Yan Wang Zhang Yan alone, and does not need to look at anyone's face when doing things, so when doing things, he has always been extremely domineering, because of this, whenever he meets Jin Yiwei, everyone will avoid And stay away, for fear of getting into trouble.

Jin Yiwei called Sima Yi by his first name, his face was stern and dignified, and his eyes were extremely fierce, which made people feel intimidated.

"The general... the general is in the cell..."

"Where is the cell?" Jin Yiwei asked directly.

"Over there!" The soldier pointed to a place.

Jin Yiwei turned over and jumped on the horseback, and rode the horse directly, galloping and flying in the barracks. When everyone saw their outfits, no one dared to ask.

Not long after, Jin Yiwei came to the location of the prison cell. Just arrived here, he saw Sima Yi walking out of the cell. Before Jin Yiwei could speak, Sima Yi walked over, bowed his hands respectfully, and said, "The special envoy will come in person, I will definitely There is something important, could it be that His Royal Highness King Yan summoned the officials?"

Jin Yiwei nodded, thinking that Sima Yi is really smart.

Sima Yi said: "The special envoy, please go back and tell His Highness King Yan that I will be there in a while."

Jin Yiwei turned his horse's head, turned around and left without talking nonsense, coming and going in a hurry.

Jin Yiwei returned to the county government hall and told Zhang Yan everything, Zhang Yan waved his hand and let Jin Yiwei go down.

Not long after, people reported that General Pingnan Sima Yi had arrived, and Zhang Yan asked Sima Yi to be invited to the hall.

This meeting was the first official meeting with Zhang Yan since Sima Yi was appointed General Pingnan.

After Sima Yi entered the hall, he immediately bowed respectfully to Zhang Yan and said in a loud voice, "I will see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Zhang Yan raised his hand to signal Sima Yi to stand up, and then signaled Sima Yi to sit down with his eyes.

Sima Yi stood at the same spot, motionless, clasped his fists again and said, "His Royal Highness, I don't know why you summoned the minister so urgently?"

"I heard that you arrested Tai Shici?" Zhang Yan asked lightly.

"It's true." Sima Yi replied.

"Why do you want to arrest him? Is it the same as Zhang blamed Huang Zhong, you want to stick Tai Shici to show your prestige?" Zhang Yan asked.

Sima Yi said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, now the water army's officials have basically been rectified. In just over ten days, the factional disputes within the water army have been eliminated in one fell swoop, making the water army united as one. However, the problems in the army , is not limited to the navy. In contrast, the situation in the army is even more serious. Just as Wei Chen said when he presented the Pingnan strategic plan to His Highness, there are many contradictions within the army. When it comes, there will definitely be some negative impacts.”

Zhang Yandao: "This king is aware of the existence of these problems. This king is not asking you this. What this king means is that before you arrested Tai Shici, why didn't you report to this king first, and then act after getting permission from this king?"

Sima Yi said: "His Royal Highness appointed this official as the Great General of Pingnan, and said that this official will be in charge of all matters, except for asking His Highness for orders in case of war, other matters can be decided by himself..."

"Eh..." Zhang Yan seemed to be shut out, but was gagged by Sima Yi's words, unable to answer.For the past half month, people came to impeach Sima Yi almost every day and speak ill of Sima Yi, but Zhang Yan blocked them all.

But as time goes by, Zhang Yan will also be affected. At first, the firm belief in his heart has become a little shaken. Some people say that Sima Yi is taking the opportunity to seize power and want to develop his own power, and Sima Yi is a famous figure in history. , the degree of treacherous age is astonishing.Therefore, it is inevitable that Zhang Yan will think more, and start to doubt Sima Yi.

But today Sima Yi suddenly attacked Tai Shici without his permission, which Zhang Yan could not accept. Tai Shici was his direct line general and a former general with great military exploits in the Han Dynasty. Is there still the existence of King Yan?
If this matter gets out, what face will he have in the future?

However, at this moment, what Sima Yi said immediately woke him up. When Sima Yi accepted this task, he told Zhang Yan the story of three people becoming tigers, in order to warn Zhang Yan that he must hold his ground.And he also gave Sima Yi great power, the purpose is to make it easier for Sima Yi to do things.

Looking back now, I seem to be wavering. If I hadn't met Sima Yi today, in a few days, if Sima Yi attacked the army one after another and started to rectify the army, he would definitely be impatient and slap Sima Yi. Turn it down, and discard it.

At this time, Jia Xu, the supervisor, came in from the outside and saw that Zhang Yan was summoning Sima Yi, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Zhang Yan.

Jia Xu hurriedly turned around, and said to Zhang Yan respectfully, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Zhang Yan said: "Stay here, I have something to discuss with you."

"Here!" Jia Xu said.

Then, Zhang Yan said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, you go and do your work, but don't do anything too much, so as not to anger the soldiers and start a mutiny. Tai Shici is a veteran general in the army, and I used to be one of the five tiger generals under my king's command, so I must be a little bit measured when doing things."

"Here!" Sima Yi said.

"In addition, if you want to do something in the future, you must send someone to report to the king in advance, and then act after getting permission, otherwise the king will have no idea and will inevitably think wildly."

"Here!"

"Go."

"Wei Chen retire!"

Sima Yi slowly exited the hall. After Zhang Yan saw Sima Yi walking away, he said to Jia Xu: "Have you heard about Tai Shici?"

"Wei Chen just heard about it, so he hurried to find His Highness."

"Why are you looking for me?" Zhang Yan asked.

Jia Xu said: "I am worried that His Highness will not be firm, in case... so I came to remind His Highness, but just now I heard what His Highness said to Sima Yi, and I felt relieved."

Zhang Yan sighed heavily, and said, "Oh, I didn't realize until now that the most difficult test is myself!"

"If His Highness's will is shaken, our plan will be in vain. Although Sima Yi looks arrogant and domineering now, all of this is just for others to see. Next, His Highness's reputation may be tested. This is the most difficult thing for His Highness. Perhaps many people don't understand why His Highness supports Sima Yi so much, and there may be some people who abuse His Highness, but please rest assured, Your Highness, all of this is only temporary. Sir, I believe that many generals and officials will come to their senses." Jia Xu said.

Zhang Yandao: "It's good to have you by my side, you can always remind me, like a mirror, you can show another side of me and advise you."

After hearing this, Jia Xu was very moved and said: "As long as His Highness is willing, I am willing to be His Highness's mirror for the rest of my life!"

As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled irresistibly, everything was in silence.
