When Man Chong pulled Hua Xiong down, the imperial doctor took Sun Jian and left here.

Liu Bei looked at the situation, and was speechless, Cao Cao had been away from the temple for a long time, and he had just arrived, which was the best time to deal with him, but he didn't expect that at this time, he couldn't suppress him, but he lost an ally, alas, what should I do next? Liu Bei thought about it, raised his head, and glanced at the Son of Heaven above, but he didn't expect that Liu Xi was also looking at him, Liu Bei understood that he would have to stay later.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Cao spoke again, he said seriously: "After the completion of the construction of the Yangzhou Canal, countless ships came and went to it, and even there were ships going to Yizhou, Jiaozhou, overseas, the development of Yangzhou, a thousand miles a day, Moling has become the largest capital in the south, the boats can block the river, and the pedestrians on the road can block the earth, such a situation is rare in the south, Moling has been expanded three times, and now the scale is second only to Luoyang!" ”

"That's the canal!"

Cao Cao first blew the canal's huge effect, starting from its changes to Yangzhou, try to use some concise language, so that these northern ministers can understand the changes in the south, after a long time, Cao Cao paused, looked at Liu Bei on the side, and said: "Sikong has always wanted to be in the south of Tuntian, the success of the canal, Sikong's strategy can be successful, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and even Jingzhou, the land is fertile, the territory is vast, but in the development of agriculture, has always been backward and northern. ”

"The minister thinks that the next thing will be different, when the construction of the canal is completed, and the Xizhou Chidao is completed, the temple can gather the strength of the whole country to develop all things in the south..."

At the end of the court meeting, Cao Cao and Liu Bei stayed, and the rest of the people left in a hurry, they were still thinking about Cao Cao's words, including Liu Bei, it doesn't matter whether Cao Cao's words are true or false, but Liu Bei feels that maybe his own strategy can really be carried out according to what Cao Cao said, through convenient transportation, the temple already has the capital to quickly support all places.

This is Liu Bei and Liu Ba put forward the strategy, the temple to give the corresponding subsidies to the localities, so that the local independent construction in all aspects, of course, the military aspect is not included in it, each place has its own corresponding situation, the temple can not do the same time to regulate and control the localities, therefore, the temple should still be based on subsidy subsidies, by the local officials to be responsible for the local construction, and regardless of the canal, it is naturally beneficial to Liu Bei's strategy.

Looking at Cao Cao with a smile on his face in front of him, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Cao Gong is really a good means!" ”

"Xuande, some people can fight, but in this temple, it's not worth mentioning... Next, if you are looking for allies, you can find Wen Ruo, Fengxiao and these people, no matter how bad they are, Kong Ming and Zhongda are all fine, why should you have trouble with yourself? Cao Cao said with some disdain, but Liu Bei laughed, "Cao Gong, it's useless for me to find anyone, Cao Gong has good means, where can they compare?" ”

"Even Hua Xiong, who is particularly close to Cao Gong, can be used by Cao Gong as a sword in his own hands... In this regard, I can't compare. ”

"Liu Gong, Taiwei's sword, that is the sharpest sword in the world, but unfortunately, Liu Gong's sword skills are not good..."

While the two were chatting, Qi Yue walked out and led the two to the Houde Palace.

Entering the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven was extremely enthusiastic about the two of them, different from what Liu Bei thought, the Son of Heaven did not mention the things in the court at all, but just greeted them casually, as for the canal and the agricultural mulberry event, there was no mention of it, Liu Bei did not understand what the Son of Heaven meant, the three of them chatted for a long time, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei left the Houde Hall one after another.

After they left, Liu Xi put away his smile, lowered his head, and gently knocked on the wooden case, he originally wanted to severely punish Cao Cao and pull him off the Situ position, but today he listened to Cao Cao's words about the canal, but he hesitated in his heart, Cao Cao is very clear about the affairs of the canal, Xun Yu may be able to replace Cao Cao to deal with the affairs of Jingzhou, but if you look at the whole country, he can't do it.

It seems that he still has to keep him, but this person is too dangerous, and Liu Bei and Sun Jian can't restrain him at all... I've got to figure out a way.

At the same time, in Jingzhou, Sima Yi ushered in the most painful period.

At night, Sima Yi wore thin profane clothes, walking in the courtyard, the cold wind blew, he was shivering all over, constantly shivering, but he didn't care about the cold, he squinted, wandering in the courtyard, tomorrow, Xun Yu will arrive in Xiangyang, to take over the matter in Cao Cao's hands, and in the previous period, Sima Yi continued to operate, according to Cao Cao's meaning, it is not easy to hand over the canal strategy to Xun Yu, at least, to keep these people, not to let Xun Yu drive them away.

Cao Cao didn't expect that it would be Xun Yu who would replace him, and Sima Yi also didn't expect that Xun Yu knew the situation in Jingzhou very well, and wanted to fool him so that he couldn't interfere with the canal strategy, how could this be possible? ? And Xun Yu is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and Cao Cao, Sima Yi didn't dare to target him, Sima Yi was a little embarrassed, these ministers were fighting, and it was their own people who suffered.

However, Cao Cao's orders must be completed, although Xun Yu is also an important minister, but he is not as terrifying as Cao Cao, Sima Yi would rather offend Xun Yu than offend Cao Cao, many people say that Cao Cao will be disposed of after returning to Luoyang, Sima Yi doesn't think so, the longer he follows Cao Cao, the more he can realize his terrible, such a person will not be easily knocked down, especially when he can play a greater role.

Sima Yi had an idea in his heart, in fact, he had already had an idea, he looked at the night, couldn't help but sigh, scooped some water from the bucket on the side, and sprinkled it towards his body, cold water poured on his body, Sima Yi, who was already very cold, was already clenching his teeth at the moment, unable to speak, Sima Yi stretched out his hand, touched his forehead, thought for a moment, and took another scoop of water.

The next day, when Xun Yu arrived in Xiangyang, the person who came to greet him was not Sima Yi, the officials of Jingzhou stood in front of him, bent over, with a faint sadness on their faces, Xun Yu squinted his eyes, looked at them, and thought about the reason why Sima Yi did not come to see him, could it be that Cao Cao ordered him before leaving? ? He was thinking about it, but Sima Fu, who had followed him, was a little annoyed, and he seemed to have a lot of prejudices against this brother.

"What about Sima Thorn History? Why didn't he come in person? ”

Sima Fu asked.

The surrounding officials raised their heads, looked at this young man who looked like Sima Yi, and were amazed for a moment, and some people recognized him and said, "Thorn Shihu is seriously ill, and now he is still lying on the sickbed, unable to come... I hope you will forgive me..."

Xun Yu was shocked, the surrounding officials were full of worry, looking at this mental state, it didn't look like they were lying, isn't it true??

Sima Fu sneered, walked to Xun Yu's side, and said in a low voice: "Xun Gong, my second brother is like this, in the past, when my father invited us to sacrifice wine for enlightenment, the second brother was always seriously ill...", Xun Yu was speechless, looked at the officials in the distance, and said: "Take me over, I want to see it myself...", the officials did not dare to refuse, and hurriedly rushed to Sima Mansion with Xun Yu and his party.

When I walked to Sima's mansion, I could hear the cry of the slave from afar.

Sima Fu, who was still a little disapproving, gradually became solemn, Xun Yu took him and walked into the mansion, the servants saw Sima Fu, they were all crying and visiting, Sima Fu was a little irritable, waved his hand, let them get up, the two walked into the inner room together, just entered the house, they smelled a bitter smell of medicine, permeating the whole room, several doctors were in front of the sickbed, feeding medicine.

Xun Yu and Sima Fu walked to the sickbed.

Sima Yi was lying on the sickbed, his eyes were closed, his face was red, his lips were white, it looked abnormal, Xun Yu stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, it was hot like a fire, Xun Yu didn't speak, but Sima Fu on the side was stunned, he looked at his brother a little blankly, don't look over, looked at the doctor on the side, and asked tremblingly: "What's wrong with my brother?" ”

"Thorn Shi Gong encountered the wind and cold, and his whole body was hot, fortunately, we came in time, otherwise... Alas... He has been in a coma for a day, and we have done our best, and if we can wake up today, it will be fine, but if we can't get up... Lang Jun, get ready for the future..."

"You!!" Sima Fu pointed to the doctor in front of him, and Xun Yu hurriedly grabbed him.

"Brother... Chief, brother... I'm here, open your eyes and look at me..."Sima Fu said tremblingly, Sima Yi's eyes trembled, Sima Fu slowly knelt in front of the sickbed, stretched out his hand, holding Sima Yi's fiery hands, but the tears were flowing down uncontrollably, wiping the tears, Sima Yi slowly opened his eyes, for a while, the doctors were extremely excited, and they were busy in a hurry.

Sima Fu's eyes widened, he looked at the brother in front of him, and kept saying, "Brother, I'm back, I'm back..."

"You're here..."Sima Yi's voice was low.

"Saburo... If.. I.. It's gone... Take care of... Take care of.. Myself. ”

"Brother!! I was wrong!! Don't leave me!! Sima Fu raised his head and cried.

The doctors quickly let him leave, and at the same time, Xun Yu was also invited out, looking at Sima Fu who was crying bitterly on the side, Xun Yu really didn't know how to persuade, stretched out his hand, patted his back gently, and said: "Zhong Da will be fine, don't cry like this, otherwise, if Zhong Da hears it, I'm afraid it will not be good for his recovery..."

It wasn't until the doctor left and ordered everyone not to disturb Sima Yi that Xun Yu left Sima's mansion, but Sima Fu stayed and sat on the steps of the inner room, where he wanted to accompany his brother.

In the house, Sima Yi was lying on the sickbed, frowning, and thinking.

It should have deceived Xun Yu, after all, this is really sick, not pretending to be sick, Sima Yi thought, and there was a slight sobbing sound in his ears, and the kid from San Lang was squatting at the door crying.

Sima Yi glanced in the direction of the door and snorted coldly.

You deserve it, who told you to follow Zhuge Villager??

Even though he thought so, listening to the sobbing, a gentle smile slowly appeared on his face.

This kid.
