Chapter 684: Sima's Strategy
"Second brother, I don't understand, why don't you continue your travels in the current situation, but instead go to Cao Cao at this juncture? Is there any possibility for Cao Cao to win the world today? Sima Lang looked at his second brother, who had been extremely assertive since he was a child, and his temperament was so introverted that it was almost gloomy, and said with great puzzlement.
As the eldest son of the Sima family, he has already been under Cao Cao, and according to the general truth, Sima Yi should choose someone else even if he is the owner. What's more, among the four major princes in the world, although Cao Cao is wise, his power is far less than that of Eryuan, and his only advantage in holding the Son of Heaven has also become a chicken rib because of the princes' claim to be emperor. Sima Lang didn't understand what other reasons Cao Cao had for Sima Yi to defect.
"Brother, as you said, now that the situation in the world has become increasingly obvious, if my brother doesn't play again, I'm afraid there will be no chance to play." Sima Yi deserved. Since Yuan Shubing left Liangzhou, he realized that time was running out in this troubled world, but he had not found a suitable entry point to participate in it, and this was a good opportunity for him.
As for why my brother chose Cao Mengde, I have my brother's thoughts. During this period, it is inconvenient to say more for my brother, brother, you don't need to ask more, as long as you know that your brother is for the sake of my Sima family and will not do stupid things. A strange light flashed in Sima Yi's eyes, and he said with a smile.
Looking at his compassionate second brother, Sima Lang only felt tired. Because of Dong Zhuo's disaster, he was ordered by his father to lead his family to flee Luoyang and join Cao Cao, who was favored by his father. During this time, he had been the substitute for his father to educate his younger brothers.
The other younger brothers are okay, just as docile and sensible as he is, maybe they are less talented, but they are all manufacturable. But this second brother alone made him feel helpless.
Since he was a child, he has a gloomy personality and is very assertive, and no one knows what he is thinking. is extremely talented, and is valued by Hu Zhao, who is regarded as a confidant, and the two sides are also teachers and friends. Since then, he has been even more unable to see through this second brother, and he can't discipline him at all.
But Brother Mo Ruo, Sima Yi's character couldn't be clearer. He didn't believe that the other party was only showing his ability at this time to be reused when Cao Cao was in danger, otherwise, he should have gone out of the mountain a year ago in the Central Plains melee.
"Second brother, my brother knows that you are wise and far inferior to you, but my brother still has to warn you that you should be safe in everything. Now that our Sima family is already stable, there is no need to take these risks. Sima Lang admonished.
What is the relationship between the Sima family and the current princes? Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are in the Yuan family, that is the boss of the Sima family, and the two parties are also related by marriage. The Chen family where Liu Bei relied on Chen Qun the most, was the cousin of the Sima family. Cao Cao was recommended by Sima Fang back then, and he had the grace of knowing the pearl.
And the Sima family is very good at being a person, although Sima Lang is under the command of Cao Cao, he basically does not participate in the military, rarely admonishes, just an invisible person, and is dedicated to doing a good job of governing the party. If it is said that a strategist of the military division class may still attract hatred, then Sima Lang's internal affairs type will definitely not have a prince's grudge.
This is the way of survival of the Sima family, which is similar to the Xun family's bets everywhere, and the Sima family is trying to please everywhere. The strength of the Sima family itself belongs to the kind of people who are neither strong nor weak, not as big as the Xun family, and they can't be compared with the Yuan family and the Yang family, but they have to be able to be people engraved in their bones, so that they can ride the wall no matter what the situation, and I will not move if you are strong in the wind and waves.
Sima Yi in the original historical trajectory also shirked Cao Cao's invitation at the beginning, until Cao Cao completely unified the north, the overall situation was decided, and after Guo Jia's death, he was "forced" to go out, step by step to gain Cao Cao's trust, and replaced Guo Jia's position as Cao Cao's new mastermind. Throughout the end of the Han Dynasty, the Sima family can be called an out-and-out old yinbi, who secretly survived the strongest generation and then rose. Later, the Sima family, like the Yuan family, was made a protégé and former officials all over the world.
"Brother's meaning, brother understands. Please also rest assured that my brother has his own way to continue to maintain the unfailing status of my Sima family. Sima Yi said confidently.
He didn't go out of the mountain this time to turn the tide for Cao Cao, Cao Cao was just one of his choices. If Cao Cao really survived this hurdle, he might look the other way and assist him. But if Cao Cao was defeated, he had his own way to offer Cao Cao as a gift to Yuan Shu to establish his position.
......
"You're Boda's younger brother, Sima Yi?" Located on the main seat, Cao Cao looked with interest at the young man in the audience with a calm face and a slight gloomy face.
"Exactly down there." Sima Yi is neither humble nor arrogant.
"You said that you can persuade Yuan Shao and Liu Bei to send troops, how sure are you?" A hint of appreciation flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, but he said lightly.
The appreciation in Cao Cao's eyes did not escape Sima Yi's gaze, and he chuckled in his heart. He studied with Hu Zhao for several years, and what he learned the most was to understand people's hearts. What Hu Zhao hopes is that he will see all kinds of human hearts in this world, understand the good and evil of human hearts and the weaknesses of human nature, and then guide people to good. But Sima Yi and Hu Zhao thought differently, he only learned the former, but he learned it thoroughly, and even far surpassed Hu Zhao, the teacher.
For a suspicious person like Cao Cao, you can't pretend to be too stupid, you can't hide too deeply, and you can show your edge appropriately but let the other party feel that you have something to hide in order to win the trust of the other party. Let Cao Cao see through his "clumsy" concealment, so that he can completely relax his heart, and Sima Yi did this.
"The grasp of the bottom is Ming Gong." Sima Yi flattered.
"Oh? Let's take a look? ”
"Ming Gong holds the land of the two states, and the role of 400,000 troops is enough to compete with Yuan Shu in terms of strategic depth and strength, and if it is a tripartite alliance, it is enough to compete with Yuan Shu head-on. The reason why Liu Bei and Yuan Shao were reluctant to come to the aid with all their might was not because they were not moving their lips and teeth, but because they were worried about their own safety and attracted by their lack of interests. Just address these two points. Sima Yi said lightly.
"Although Yuan Shu placed 30,000 iron cavalry in Liaodong to threaten Yuan Shao, 30,000 iron cavalry was just a small trouble for Yuan Shao. 100,000 foot soldiers are enough to hold Youzhou, not to mention the existence of the Southern Xiongnu. Not to mention Si Li's tens of thousands of troops, the Hebei family now regards the annexation of the state as a forbidden state, and Yuan Shu can't attack it at all. And attacking Jizhou, Liu Bei was a line of defense that they had to face. ”
Yuan Shao was reluctant to come out of fear of Ming Gong. What he wants to see is that Ming Gong and Yuan Shu are both defeated, and he can sit back and reap the benefits. Yuan Benke has never given up in Qingzhou, and he will never let go of this place once Yuan Shu retreats. And if the Ming Gong army is defeated, he can also take advantage of the situation to take Qingzhou and go south to resist Yuan Shujun, who has just experienced a big battle. ”
To put it bluntly, he was lucky with Yuan Shu's strength and jealous of Ming Gong. It is not difficult for the minister to persuade him to come to help, as long as he knows the benefits and the harm, and shows that Ming Gong has no threat to him at all, and then secretly pressurizes. After all, the relationship between Ming Gong and him was not so good that he desperately allowed him to plunder behind in order to resist Yuan Shu. If he doesn't come to help, it's a big deal. Han Sui and Liu Biao are also doing well in Jinling, aren't they? Sima Yi said indifferently.
"Can Yuan Benchu be arrogant, if you really say this, he will definitely not compromise, but will be angry, and it will be even more difficult to end when he falls." Cao Cao frowned.
"Therefore this is not to be said by the ministers, but by the man who ought to say it." Sima Yi had already responded.
"Xu Ziyuan." Xi Zhicai, who had been closing his eyes and saying nothing, said softly.
