Chapter 294: One-Eyed Sima Master
Wang Ling is a few years older than Sima Yi, in terms of origin, qualifications, and achievements, Wang Ling does not seem to be much worse than Sima Yi, but in terms of current status, the two do not seem to be on the same level.
Sima Yi is the Minister of Auxiliary Affairs, when he is the prince of the court, in terms of his status in the court, he is only second to the first auxiliary minister and the general Cao Shuang, who is high and powerful, and everyone looks up to him.
Wang Ling's status is much inferior, he is just a feudal official who guards one side, although he has the power to oversee military and political affairs in Huainan, but this power is limited by the imperial court, if the imperial court is slightly dissatisfied, he can take back his power.
If it weren't for Cao Shuang's all-out efforts to promote him this time, Wang Ling might not be able to sit in this position, even if he really sat in this position, I am afraid it would be difficult to keep it.
Not to mention, Sima Yi also planted the thorn of Yangzhou Thorn Shi Sun Li in Huainan, which made Wang Ling's Huainan Governor extremely unhappy.
Therefore, at this banquet, Sima Yi and Wang Ling have their own thoughts, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, although it seems to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they are each with a ghost and their own calculations.
Even if it is a conversation between the two, it is a cliché that is not salty and does not talk about it, and it is purely a waste of effort to find something valuable from the conversation between the two.
People grow old and become fine, trees grow old and become monsters, Sima Yi and Wang Ling's ages combined, they are a hundred years old, they have lived for a number of years, they have read all the heat and coldness of the world, and both sides want to find out the bottom of each other, is it an easy task?
However, the atmosphere of the banquet was very warm, seven or eight out of ten people who went to the banquet were generals on the battlefield, most of them had straightforward personalities, and their arrogance was exposed.
When marching and fighting, the first thing to quit is alcohol, so in the past six months, those generals who are good at drinking can be regarded as suffocating, and now that the war is over, they can finally drink happily, and many people are ready to get drunk and rest.
What is not too incompatible with the warm environment is Sima Shi, who sits alone in the corner.
Sima Shi had an arrow in his left eye, although it was not fatal, but his left eye was completely blind, and after returning to the camp, the doctors removed the arrow for him, but because the left eye was bleeding and pus, the doctor had to remove his eyeball.
Sima Shi who did not have the left eyeball completely lost his handsome and handsome appearance, and became hateful, vicious and terrible, in order to cover up the disability of his left eye, Sima Shi had to wear a black blindfold, in Cao Liang's opinion, Sima Shi really had a bit of the style of a pirate captain.
Due to Sima Shi's fraudulent death, Sima Yi successfully calculated Zhuge Ke and broke through the stone road. It can be said that it is precisely because of Sima Shi that the Wei army can be regarded as a great victory.
If you talk about meritorious deeds, Sima Shi is a miracle.
It's just that Sima Shi would rather not have this credit, and would like to exchange his eyeballs back.
But it's a pity that this idea is only a thought at best, and it can't be done at all, even the best miracle doctor in the world can't save his left eyeball.
Sima Shi refused many invitations and sat alone in a no-man's corner, where others drank heartily, and he used wine to drown his sorrows.
This was Sima Shi's first public appearance in months, and since he was wounded, he was like a wounded bird, curling himself up in his nest, never wanting to see the world again.
Although the injury has long been healed, Sima Shi, who has become inferior because of this, hides and does not want to see people, he does not want to face people's pity or ridicule, and prefers to hide alone and lick his wounds.
If it weren't for Sima Yi's order, Sima Shi would not have appeared on such a large occasion today.
Sima Yi was very worried about Sima Shi's growing depression, although Sima Shi hurt his eyes, but it didn't affect his eyesight too much, although the vision of one eye was narrower, but he could still see the scenery that should be seen, Sima Yi didn't want Sima Shi's field of vision to be narrowed, and his heart and eyes were also narrowed.
Therefore, Sima Yi specially instructed his subordinates to invite Sima Shi out to participate in this banquet, so that he could have more contact with everyone and regain his confidence.
Although this is not an overnight thing, Sima Yi hopes that Sima Shi can cheer up as soon as possible, and heart disease still needs heart medicine to be treated.
However, Sima Shi is isolated and always depressed.
His eyes fell on Cao Liang, who was chatting happily with the people around him not far away, and a nameless fire suddenly rose in Sima Shi's heart.
Cao Liang, the person who made him grit his teeth and hate, tried all his strength to put him to death, but in the end, he was still alive and kicking, not a single hair was injured, but he was scarred and blind, this thief, it's too unfair!
Sima Shi drank the bitter wine, all the past experiences flashed back in front of his eyes one by one, since he met Cao Liang in Beibi Mountain, Sima Shi felt that his previous smooth sailing life had changed the rudder from then on, and the things of the inverted frieze followed, one after another.
On the Beibi Mountain, Sima Shi was firmly deducted by Cao Liang with a brand-new shiny green hat, and what made him even more depressed was that he still had to wear this green hat.
For the sake of the family, he gritted his teeth and endured it, but Cao Liang still did not give up, and on the day of his wedding, he snatched his bride in public, making him suffer great shame.
The biggest hatred in life is the hatred of killing his father, followed by the hatred of taking his wife, if Sima Shi does not hate Cao Liang, it is pure nonsense, this kind of hatred that does not share the sky, no one can let go.
It's just a matter of losing the bride, Sima Shi is also in prison, if this matter has nothing to do with Cao Liang, Sima Shi dares to bet to screw off his head as a night pot.
Based on his understanding of Xiahou Xuan, Sima Shi thought that it was impossible for Xiahou Xuan to do such a thing, he thought about it, only Cao Liang could do this kind of thing, and Cao Liang was completely unscrupulous in order to snatch Yang Huiyu, only if he had the back to make waves, he could not escape this catastrophe.
Sima Shi finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge, Xiahou Xuan and Cao Liang fell into his hands, and they must be allowed to taste the taste of not being able to survive and not to die.
The battle of Anfengdu was a poisonous plan designed by Sima Shi, but unfortunately it backfired, instead of putting Cao Liang to death, he let him kill Zhuge Jin by luck, and made a great contribution in vain.
