Chapter 252: Sima Zhongda
"Sima Yi of Wenxian County, Yingchuan, I have met Mr. Guo. The young man turned around, he had thin cheeks, a high nose, and an eagle-like eye with a high heart and arrogance, this kind of look I was familiar with, and I was the same a few years ago.
"Sima Zhongda?" I withdrew the Heavenly Sword, "Mr. Sima Fang's second son?" "Yes." Sima Yi bowed slightly.
The Sima family is another big family in Yingchuan, and they have a good relationship with the older generation of our Guo family, and they are considered world friends. Although I haven't met Sima Yi, the second son of their family, a few times, the inheritance of family relationships allows us to become friends directly.
"I'm sorry, Xuchang has been chaotic recently, and I have to be careful. I apologized. If it is the son of the Sima family, then there is no problem for him to enter my study, Han Zhi has been in our family for a long time, and he may know more about the relationship between the Yingchuan family than I do. For the Guo family, the people of the Sima family can indeed wait directly in the inner room.
"It's a little abrupt. "Sima Yi, as the son of everyone, is quite thoughtful. "I came here to learn a thing or two from Mr. Guo. "Don't call me sir, the age difference between us is less than ten years, just call me brother." I said, and I probably understood the purpose of Sima Yi's visit this time.
Since Dong Zhuo's dictatorship and the chaos in the world, Sima Fang resigned from his official position in Luoyang and returned to his hometown. However, the sons of the family were all smart and clever, and they were still young, so they worked as farmers at home, wouldn't it delay the good years? Therefore, Sima Yi was allowed to go out and travel first, so as to lay the foundation for entering the court and becoming an official in the future. And as Cao Cao's chief adviser on the surface, I can obviously learn a lot from me.
"Okay, you can stay with me first, just come with me to witness this Yuan Cao battle. I smiled and saw that he was still holding the brain circuit I had drawn before, so I asked with the purpose of investigation, "How is that piece of paper?"
Sima Yi smiled slightly, "This is the current power map sketched by Brother Guo, right?" "Oh?" "I'm interested, and I deserve to be the son of the Sima family," in detail. "Sima Yi is not a roundworm in my stomach, and he is not strong enough to read my mind directly. He simulated my train of thought and expressed his own opinions, and regarded the two opposing points on paper as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. However, his understanding is normal, and the royal secrets are not enough to be humane to the world.
"It's good to see so much. "But there's some inside stuff in that, and you still don't know about it." Zhongda is so smart, he will definitely be able to achieve a career in the future. "Don't dare, don't dare, and rely on Brother Guo to mention something." Although Sima Yi's words were modest, his tone was quite casual, and he was obviously a young talent who was quite confident in his talents.
That night, I climbed over the wall, avoided the eyes and ears of the guards, sneaked into the courtyard, and touched all the way to the secret room on the Dong Cheng Mansion that I had come to before.
"Ren Kejue, why are you here?" Seeing my arrival, Dong Cheng's brows seemed to be squeezing out water. "It's a big deal, I'm willing to be saddle before and after the horse, so I came uninvited. I said coldly. These royalist ministers didn't see me as part of the plan from the beginning.
"Okay, it's all here, let's get down to business. The prince persuaded and explained, "I have 300 troops in my hands, and I should be able to gather 1,000 people if I count your family members." But to deal with Cao Cao, I'm afraid it's not enough. ”
"A thousand people, even Brother Lu Bulu, have no room to resist, let alone Cao Cao..."I leaned against the wall next to me and sneered. "We're discussing a big deal, don't intervene in your woman's house. Dong Cheng said impatiently, "A thousand people are indeed not enough, with the tiger guards led by Xu Chu in the city, it is impossible for us to get close to Cao Cao." Now that Liu Bei's guy has slipped away, I don't think we have a chance to win with our manpower. ”
"Uncle Guo has to gather ten people in the edict before he is willing to do it?" Although I was not treated well, I still couldn't help but speak, "In that case, why don't you just win over a hundred people, a thousand people? "000 Literature
Dong Cheng was repeatedly interjected by me, and he was angry, so he simply shut up and didn't speak at this time. "Since your name is not on the edict, can you listen quietly?" Wu Shuo said. "If you insist on getting the most of them, I can sign them. "This isn't the first time I've said that.
"Men do business, women go away. As soon as my words came out, it involved the issue of principle in Dong Cheng's heart, and he had to open his mouth to reprimand. "That being the case, then I will also take my leave..."In the corner of the room, Xiliang Ma Teng got up and said. This man from my hometown joined the Yidai Edict project purely to revive the Han family, but he was deeply disappointed by the performance of the courtiers. Liu Bei slipped away, and he didn't plan to stay in Xuchang for a long time.
"General Ma, what are you..."Dong Cheng's attitude towards me was vastly different from that towards Ma Teng, and he hurriedly got up to stop him. "It's impossible for us to put this discussion on hold. Ma Teng said firmly, "Although I have returned to Liangzhou, my heart has always been on the side of the Han family. ”
Ma Teng gently pushed away Dong Cheng who was blocking in front of him, opened the door and walked into the darkness. "It's... How is this good?" the prince was a little silly. "Shaft!" Dong Cheng scolded, "No matter them, even if it's just me, this great plan will still continue, minister, I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's entrustment!"
He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed respectfully in the direction of the palace. Driven by Dong Cheng, several other people also knelt down together, and Wu Shuo also cried. "Well, you're a bunch of shafts. "A trace of sadness floated in my heart, if an emperor can only command these pedantic ministers, then does this dynasty still have the meaning of existence?
I walked out the door and disappeared into the darkness. Dong Cheng and his gang don't care about me at all, and I no longer pin my hopes on them.
It was an eventful time for Cao Cao. Yuan Shao's army has been prepared and may attack him at any time. After Liu Bei killed Yuan, he drove Zhu Ling and Lu Zhaoer, who had been monitored in the past, back to Xuchang in a gloomy manner, killed the Xuzhou assassin Shi Chezhou, and without even saying hello, he turned his face directly, rebelled in Xuzhou, and formed a flanking attack on Cao Cao with Yuan Shao.
And as Cao Cao's power grew, so did the hostility of the royalist faction above the court. Cao Cao believed that as long as there was any problem on his exterior at this time, he would take advantage of the situation and become chaotic, and he would only be greeted by defeat.
Under internal and external troubles, Cao Cao's body was overwhelmed, his head wind recurred, and he was lying in bed in pain to death, unable to govern. Dong Cheng and the others originally thought that their opportunity had come, and they were watching the sky, but Cao Cao had already been targeted by the heavens, and he was about to die of illness, and the big thing had been accomplished!
But Cao Cao's life is not so simple that it will be taken away by God. "Division... Sikong..."A herald rushed to Cao Cao's couch in a panic. "Looking for Cheng Yu for foreign affairs, looking for Xun Yu for internal affairs, didn't you see that Gu Zheng was uncomfortable?" Cao Cao suppressed the urge to cut down this herald, and said angrily. "This... You'll have to see for yourself..."The herald didn't know what to say, so he simply knelt down on the ground and handed over the order.
Cao Cao took it, and said in his heart that if there is no big deal, I will kill you. But the first time he opened it, he broke out in a cold sweat. After he finished reading it, he was frightened, and the head wind was inexplicably better.
"Chen Lin, good writing!" Cao Cao said with a wry smile. Although this article against thieves has scolded three generations of their ancestors, it is true that the writing is flying. At the same time, the same edict was spread everywhere in the land of China, and everyone knew that Yuan Shao was going to make a move, and he was finally going to attack his good brother when he was young, Cao Cao.
"Lone had expected such a day. Cao Cao watched his elite step out of Xuchang with neat steps, and sighed, "I just don't know how many of these good sons and daughters will be able to come back after this battle." Lonely, where should I go? ”
The two armies were finally stationed in the area of Guandu and Liyang, separated by no more than 80 miles. But this battle, which is known as a turning point in history, was not fought in the end. Yuan Shao's hesitation gave Cao Cao time to clean up Xuzhou and Xuchang, so that he could finally face Yuan Shao head-on without worries.
