We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

"Sima Yi!"

Within the Xuchang Yamen Office.

Xi Yu casually flipped through the recruitment order placed in front of Xun Yu.

Inadvertently, a very familiar name appeared in front of him.

Sima Yi.

Living in this era, Xi Yu is simply too familiar with this name.

Boss Cao took his family to build a business that they had worked hard for for three generations, but in the end it was all given to the Sima family at a cheap price, which is really disappointing.

"Why, Fengyi knows this person?"

Hearing Xiyu's voice next to him, he was a little surprised. Xun Yu, who was lowering his head to deal with documents, unconsciously stopped what he was doing.

Immediately, he raised his eyes and asked Xiyu.

Xiyu shook his head.

"do not know!"

He had never met Sima Yi. He was much younger than him, and he didn't have much interaction with the Sima family in Hanoi.

Naturally, the two don't know each other.

"I just saw the name and suddenly became interested!"

Xiyu responded casually.

For Sima Yi, there are too many people who criticized him verbally and writtenly in later generations. To be precise, this guy was too stubborn.

One person just wiped out three generations of the Cao family.

Before Boss Cao died, he could not have imagined that the foundation he had worked so hard to build throughout his life would be usurped by others before it had been passed down for several generations.

Even Cao Pi never thought before his death that Sima Yi, who was controlled by him at will, could be so forbearing.

And his son Cao Rui also played with Sima Yi in applause at first, but when he was about to die, Cao Rui still reacted.

It's a pity that the backup plan he left behind is useless!

Perhaps the life spans of the three generations of the Cao family are too short, and any one of them could have lived ten years longer, or even a few years.

Maybe nothing will happen to Sima Yi later.

certainly.

Speaking of Sima Yi, there are too many comments from later generations.

To be precise, his moral character may be lacking, but in that position, how many people can do what Ji Han's other prime minister did.

It was too difficult for Sima Yi.

At the same time, there was such a benchmark standing opposite to Sima Yi.

Comparing the two, Sima Yi seems even more inferior.

Although the status of the two is quite different.

However, the behavior is too different.

Speaking of usurping the Cao family's empire.

In fact, such things are not unheard of in later generations.

What is the difference between Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao mutiny and Huangpao's coup and Sima Yi's Gao Pingling coup?

One of the two directly captured Guo Rong's Zhou Dynasty, and the other captured the Cao family's Wei Dynasty.

The methods are almost the same.

However, the reputation of the two is very different.

The most direct reason is the so-called Wu Huan Hua later.

Of course, this actually has nothing to do with Sima Yi.

He probably didn't expect what he would do after enduring it all his life.

His own younger generation would actually do such tricks to him.

Xi Yu actually didn't have much opinion about Sima Yi.

After all, since he is in this era, the original historical trajectory has already been instigated by butterfly wings to change.

No matter how much Sima Yi dances, some things are already destined to never happen if Xi Yu is around.

Now Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, has just become an official.

Xi Yu will not let Cao Ang die young like the original historical trajectory.

Naturally, it was not Cao Pi's turn.

"There are not many people who can interest Fengyi!"

Xun Yu next to him chuckled lightly, and then followed Xi Yu's eyes to look at the recruitment order.

"Are you from the Sima family?"

"The Sima family in Hanoi has a pretty good reputation. Sima Fang's eldest son, Sima Lang, served in Cao Ying some time ago. He seems to have left his post due to illness."

"This Sima Yi seems to be Sima Fang's second son, and he has some reputation!"

Xun Yu stared at Sima Yi's name and casually detailed Sima's family situation.

Hearing this, Xi Yu smiled and shook his head.

He actually has no interest in the Sima family. Now that Xun Yu has taken the initiative to introduce them, he probably doesn't think he wants to recruit them!

He doesn't want such an old Goubi!

It is true that Sima Yi is capable, but the other party likes to hide it too much.

At best, he doesn't like cashing out or competing with others. At worst, he's just an old Yinbi.

"With Fengyi's current reputation, if you want to recruit people from the Sima family, it shouldn't be difficult!"

Xun Yu spoke and Xi Yu shook his head decisively.

"Brother is joking!"

"I don't have much interest in these aristocratic families. Even if I want to recruit people, it depends on my mood!"

Xi Yu decisively refused.

Xun Yu on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

"Fengyi, you want to set up a school. Nowadays, there are many objections from aristocratic families. If you can make good friends with some people, I think the school will go more smoothly!"

Xun Yu kindly thought about Xi Yu.

If Xi Yu can make good friends with some aristocratic families, it will naturally be helpful to Xi Yu's career.

But as soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, Xi Yu shook his head.

"Brother is thinking about me, but I will never compromise with those aristocratic families when it comes to setting up a school."

"Speaking of which, my brother's Xun family can be considered an aristocratic family. My brother won't hold me back, right?"

"you……"

Xun Yu stretched out his hand and pointed towards Xi Yu, feeling helpless.

What does this say?

He is naturally very clear about Xi Yu's idea of ​​setting up a school, although this matter is detrimental to the interests of the family.

But Xun Yu is not the kind of person without any foresight. Some things still require a long-term view.

This matter is beneficial to the world!

"The Xun family will not stop you, I have the final say!"

Xun Yu replied with a dark face.

Hearing this, Xi Yu smiled and then looked at the recruiting order in front of him.

To be honest, I just saw Sima Yi’s name.

His instinct rang out another famous prime minister.

The current opponent, in terms of age, is probably just sixteen years old, about the same age as Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

If I remember correctly, this person is in Jingzhou now?

wrong!

The Zhuge family originally lived in Langya County, Xuzhou, and he really didn't pay attention to whether they had moved or not.

"You have been free these days, and you actually stay in the government office every day!"

Reaching out to hold the brush, Xun Yu couldn't help but muttered something when he saw Xi Yu beside him, who was in a daze.

"Are you really not clear about what brother said?"

Xiyu's face turned dark.

Since the imperial court's recruitment order was issued, there have been a lot more scholars coming and going throughout Xuchang.

And all kinds of miscellaneous people began to gather in Xuchang City.

Although the aristocratic families were somewhat resistant to Xi Yu's idea of ​​setting up a school, Xi Yu's reputation among scholars was not small at all.

Even in the entire Han Dynasty today, there are few people who can match Xi Yu's reputation among scholars.

Even Xun Yu can't do it.

Of course, this is because Xun Yu himself is not the kind of person who likes to be in the limelight. Xun Yu is more about doing some facts.

But its reputation in Shilin is not small at all.

It's just that in comparison, Xi Yu improved paper, built a curved plow, a waterwheel, and even Cao Cao released the four lines of Hengqu that Xi Yu had chanted before.

All of a sudden, Xi Yu's reputation exploded in Shilin.

The family is opposed to Xi Yu because of the school, but they also respect Xi Yu's reputation very much.

Simpler.

If Xi Yu wants to win over that aristocratic family, the other party will definitely choose Xi Yu without hesitation.

This is the power of reputation in Shilin.

It's just that although those aristocratic families intend to form a good relationship with Xi Yu, Xi Yu doesn't seem to want to pay attention to those aristocratic families.

And because of the recruitment order.

Regardless of their origins, there are countless scholars who go to Xuchang who want to visit the opera house every day.

Under such circumstances, Xi Yu naturally didn't want to stay at home.

After all, you won't be happy if a large group of people block your door.

As for places like Xuchang Yamen, those scholars still have some scruples.

"There should be a lot of greetings from your family!"

This is what Xi Yu is like, and Xun Yu is naturally not much different.

Hearing that Xi Yu suddenly changed his title, Xun Yu was a little angry. After glaring at the other party, he didn't want to talk to him.

However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered something again.

"I heard that the imperial uncle has been making friends with those scholars in the city recently."

"What do you think?"

Originally he didn't want to talk to Xi Yu, but when he thought about the news about Liu Bei, Xun Yu couldn't help but ask Xi Yu.

"What do you think?"

Xi Yu smiled, how else could he look at it.

He didn't have much opinion on Liu Bei's approach.

Cao Cao himself didn't care about this matter, so why should he worry about it?

What's more, now that Liu Bei has become the emperor's uncle, he still has status. Is it difficult for Cao Cao to really imprison him?

If Boss Cao did this, I'm afraid you, Xun Yu, wouldn't be the first to agree!

You have a choice in your mind.

What do you want me to think?

"Brother, are you talking about Liu Bei's actions, or is he the person he is?"

Xi Yu asked Xun Yu in a leisurely tone.

When the latter heard what Xi Yu said, his face sank randomly, and then he shook his head gently.

"That's it!"

Xun Yu didn't want to talk about Liu Bei.

Although the other party's presence will have an impact on Cao Ying, Xun Yu still feels somewhat complicated.

He was facing Cao Cao, but he was also facing the Han Dynasty.

Today, Liu Bei bears the title of imperial uncle, and he has more or less stood on the side of the Han Dynasty.

Xun Yu didn't want to be involved too much.

If he really thought about this kind of thing at this time, Xun Yu might not be able to do anything in the future.

The two did not continue discussing Liu Bei's issue.

Xi Yu naturally knew why Xun Yu was acting.

It’s nothing more than the reason for the Han Dynasty!

Xun Wenruo's purpose of helping Cao Cao was to help the Han Dynasty. He pretended to be the Han Dynasty in his heart.

It is not Cao Cao’s world in the future.

The Xun family's poems and books are passed down from generation to generation, and the ancestor is the famous Xunzi.

Confucian thought and Legalist thought had a more profound influence on the Xun family.

Among them, Xun Yu was more inclined to Confucianism.

This also led to the result that he and Cao Cao would part ways later.

As for his nephew Xun You, he was more inclined to Legalism. If it were Xun You, Cao Cao would become king and dominate, and Xun You would not care at all.

What he envisioned was to rule the country by law, which was somewhat similar to some of the ideas of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

It doesn't matter who owns the world.

The point is, how to govern the world.

…

When Xi Yu stayed at the Xuchang Yamen Office, outside the Xi family's mansion, the housekeeper Xi Lao calmly pushed the invitation in his hand back towards the visitor.

"My two gentlemen have said that the actors have not seen guests these days!"

After hearing the response, the person who submitted the greeting card looked obviously surprised.

"I am Xu Jing from Runan, and this is my cousin Xu Shao. The two of us have heard about Mr. Opera's reputation for a long time. We are here for the first time in Xuchang today, and I came here specially to visit. Can I come to the house to see you!"

Xu Jing, who was standing at the door of the opera house, said his name to the housekeeper again.

Hearing this, Xi Lao felt helpless.

"It's not me who's trying to stop you, but the two gentlemen have already ordered you not to visit me these days."

"If you two gentlemen want to visit, why not wait a while?"

After saying this, Xi Laoyou stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction not far away.

On the street in front of the opera house, you can see scholars wearing Confucian shirts everywhere.

During this period, there were not a few people who wanted to visit Xi Yu and Xi Zhicai.

Nothing happened to Xi Zhicai. This guy was following Guo Fengxiao and he didn't know where he was drinking wine at the moment!

Even if those scholars were lucky enough to meet Xi Zhicai, they would not be able to recognize him without looking carefully.

But Xi Yu, who originally stayed at the theater, is different.

There are too many people outside the house who want to visit.

There were so many people that it was annoying, and some of the names he had never heard of, of course, if someone like Zhuge Liang came to visit.

Xiyu naturally needs to be seen without saying anything.

However, an order to recruit talents can attract the scholars of Xuchang like a crucian carp crossing a river, and among them, there are too few who are capable and famous.

Most of them just want to see Xiyu.

It's a bit like chasing stars in later generations.

However, Xi Yu really has nothing to do with these people. He can't just sweep them away with the Tiger Head Zhan Golden Gun!

After all, these people didn't do anything too much, even though they blocked the door.

But these scholars are much more sensible than the star-chasing brainless fans of later generations. They will hand over greeting cards and will not deliberately block the door.

In desperation, Xi Yu had no choice but to stay out of sight and out of mind, and even gave an order to his concierge not to see any guests.

After hearing the old housekeeper's explanation, Xu Jing and Xu Shao were a little helpless, but the situation in front of them was somewhat understandable.

Xi Yu didn't look down on people, not seeing their brothers would make the two of them feel better.

"General, if that's the case, let's visit again in two days!"

Xu Jing thought for a while and shook his head.

The two brothers took advantage of the imperial court's recruitment order and arrived in Xuchang. Their purpose was to re-organize the previous Yue Dan Review.

And the person they wanted to see the most this time was Xi Yu.

However, they could somewhat understand the current situation. Now that they couldn't see each other, the two brothers didn't force it.

…

"Second brother, there are so many people who want to visit Mr. Xi!"

Outside the theater's house, the two brothers Xu Jing and Xu Shao had just left. Not far away, Zhuge Liang arrived outside the theater's house with his younger brother Zhuge Dan.

Zhuge Liang was also a little surprised when he saw that the long street where the actor was located was full of scholars wearing Confucian shirts.

However, during this trip, he still thought about the opportunity to practice with Xi Yu, and he did not back down because of it.

"The descendant of Langya, Zhuge Liang, comes to visit Mr. Fengyi!"

Zhuge Liang came to visit, and he was also greeted by Xi Lao, the opera housekeeper.

When the old housekeeper came out and saw Zhuge Liang standing at the door, he felt helpless.

"Young man, go back. My husband told me that I won't see any visitors these days. If you really want to see my husband, come back later!"

The old housekeeper said something that didn't make much difference.

Zhuge Liang was not discouraged after hearing this, he just grinned.

"Thank you, Mr. Lao. In that case, I will come back to visit you later!"

The theater's door is closed again.

Zhuge Liang retreated slowly. The expression on his face was not that of frustration at being rejected. On the contrary, he still had a smile on his face.

"Second brother, you have been rejected, how can you still laugh!"

Zhuge Dan was speechless.

Just when Zhuge Liang came to visit, he obviously heard some scholars not far away talking about the two of them.

When the second brother came back just now, he saw someone grinning not far away.

That taunt made Zhuge Dan a little angry.

Zhuge Liang seemed to understand what his brother was thinking, and casually touched Zhuge Dan's head.

"Brother, don't care about other people's opinions!"

"Compared to some people who don't even have the courage to try, what if they are rejected?"

"At least, you won't know the result until you try it!"

"What's more, the old housekeeper also said that Mr. doesn't want to see guests these days. He is probably a little too annoyed!"

Zhuge Liang's voice was very soft.

When speaking, he also had to teach Zhuge Dan.

The latter curled his lips helplessly.

"Second brother, you don't sign up for the recruitment order now, and your husband doesn't see guests now, where will we stay next?"

Zhuge Dan was a little worried. Everything in Xuchang was fine, but compared to Langya, the expenses were obviously much higher.

My second brother doesn't seem to consider this kind of thing at all.

The money their brothers came all the way to Xuchang actually doesn't have much left now.

If this continues, the brothers may be out of money in a few days.

When the time comes, my second brother may take him to live on the streets.

Of course, when Zhuge Dan thought about it, his second brother would definitely not take him to sleep on the streets, but might take him to live in the mountains near Xuchang.

After all, when he was at home, his second brother farmed a lot of land at home.

"Let's find a restaurant to stay in these two days. Tomorrow I will show you the sights of Xuchang!"

Zhuge Liang smiled as he spoke and subconsciously looked in a direction not far away.

Zhuge Dan beside him frowned.

"Second brother, you don't want to go to the prison to have a look, do you?"

The corner of Zhuge Dan's mouth twitched. He almost forgot that when his second brother was at home, he was studying something like a Qu Yuan plow.
