The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Winter in Yecheng is covered with snow.

Sima Yi finally arrived at Da Sima's Mansion under the leadership of his guards.

Sima Yi thought he was smart and thought he had attracted Zhou Cheng's attention.

In fact.

What Sima Yi did was indeed successful.

If Zhou Cheng didn't know about historical development, then Sima Yi's talent would definitely attract him.

In history, Cao Cao was attracted by Sima Yi's talent and reputation. He was recruited many times and was whetted by his appetite.

At this time, Zhou Cheng was studying in the court.

Jia Xu, Li Ru, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others also accompanied him.

No matter how heavy his daily duties are, Zhou Cheng's habits never change.

As for important memorials, Jia Xu and others would pick them out and report them selectively to Zhou Cheng.

At this time, Sima Yi was brought to the court

"Meet Da Sima."

At this time, after Sima Yi entered the court, he immediately bowed and saluted. At the same time, he quickly looked at the people in the court with the corner of his eye.

He saw the faces of Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Li Ru, Xu Shu and others.

These people are Zhou Cheng's counselors and right-hand men.

Sima Yi is also good at recognizing people and knows that these people are not mortals.

However, Sima Yi's small actions cannot escape the attention of Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others.

Zhou Cheng put down the book , said:"After I returned to Yecheng, I heard that Sima Zhongda was talented, had a unique view on the general trend of the world, and once said in the Boya Museum that it would be easy for me to determine the north, but it would be difficult to conquer the world. Is this true?

Sima Yi did not deny it and replied:"This is true.""

Zhou Cheng looked at Sima Yi and asked:"I have unified the north, supporting Jizhou, Yongzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, the six states, and the vast land outside the Great Wall, reaching Beihai, with thousands of people. With tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of troops and horses, who among the princes in the world can compete with them? Why is it so difficult to win in the world?

Sima Yi replied:"In a city that cannot be defeated by ordinary soldiers, we will not kill innocent people." The husband kills his father and brother, benefits others' goods and property, and the children of his concubines are all stolen. Therefore, it is unjust for soldiers to be forbidden. When troops are deployed, farmers will not leave their fields, businessmen will not leave their houses, and scholar-bureaucrats will not leave their government offices. It is up to them to use military force to argue that the world will be close to each other without bloodshed."

Sima Yi's words seem to be coming true.

If Zhou Cheng is violent, he may be killed because of his words.

Because Sima Yi's words are to the effect that he should use troops to fight and not attack cities that are not at fault. , do not kill innocent people. Killing other people’s fathers and brothers, robbing other people’s property, and enslaving other people’s children are all acts of banditry. The purpose of war is to suppress riots and prohibit unjust acts. Wherever the army goes, it must Farmers do not leave their cultivated land, businessmen do not leave their shops, and officials do not leave their offices. This is the correct way to use force, so without bloodshed, the people of the world can support them.

Li Ru snorted lightly and said :"The kingdom is rich and the people are rich, the country is dominated by rich people, the only remaining rich man is the rich man, the country is destroyed and the rich warehouse is rich, the so-called top is full and the bottom is leaking, I am the one who saves the trouble. Under the rule of the lord, the people live a prosperous life. The people of Jizhou have several years of grain reserves. The soldiers' homes have cattle and sheep fields. This is the way of a king. On the other hand, all the princes in the world forget justice because of their own selfish interests, and attack each other, leaving the people in dire straits."

Sima Yi wanted to point out that Zhou Cheng's wars for many years frightened the people of the world. Wherever the army went, people, merchants, and scholar-bureaucrats all fled. It would be more difficult to conquer the world by force.

However, Li Ru proposed this Debate.

A country that can be king in the world must have rich citizens. A country that can dominate the world must have rich soldiers. A country that can barely survive must have rich officials. A country that is going to perish must have a rich monarch's treasury.

And Zhou Cheng governed it. Under this, the people could not only eat enough, but also save surplus food every year. The life of the soldiers was even more prosperous, with cattle and sheep and fields. This is the way of kings and dominators, but the princes of the world made the people live in poverty.

To put it simply, Zhou Cheng It may not be popular among the people, but at least he has done better than most princes.

Xu Shu also said:"Putting talents to use will bring benefits without time; knowing the law and judging orders, without divination will bring good luck; noble government and labor will get it without praying to the temple. Blessing. Therefore, it is said: The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as human affairs. What the saint values ​​​​is just human affairs."

The selection of talented people does not need to choose a good time and auspicious day, and it is very smooth. The legal code is clear and perfect without divination. Respect those who have military merit and work for the country, and you can get blessings without praying. Therefore, it is said: The weather is not as good as the right place. The right place is not as good as good governance. Employing people, what the sage values ​​is good governance and employing people.

Guo Jia also said:"What Yuan Zhi said is reasonable. The Lord gathers talents and uses them, civil laws review orders, noble government supports labor, and personnel is done well."

Today's interview is not just an interview, but more like a debate.

On one side is Sima Yi, on the other side are Xu Shu, Li Ru, and Guo Jia.

Jia Xu is silent.

Debating is not just eloquence, but also a rich accumulation of knowledge. There is also an understanding of the general trend of the world.

Through debate, he can show his talents.

Facing Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Li Ru, Sima Yi bowed and said:"You are all Wang Zuo's wizards, and I am convinced."

Looking at Sima Yi's convinced look,

Jia Xu secretly shook his head and thought: This guy is really extraordinary.

You can continue to argue, or in other words, you can continue to argue.

If it were Mi Heng, he would definitely argue until he wins. However, Sima Yi knows how to get along with people, so what if he has less face?

If he is really ambitious, he must be very intolerable and cause endless troubles. He should really get rid of it as soon as possible.
