Chapter 19: Sima Yi's Worries
Cao Ren no longer dared to live in Yecheng, and after the people he sent to Yuan Mansion to monitor were inexplicably killed, he had no sense of security.
"Luoyang's new weapon is very vicious, a projectile can take a person's life, the general is here, the camp outside the city is indeed very safe." When Sima Yi spoke, he was still playing with the projectile that had been taken out of the corpse.
According to some gathered intelligence, now Luoyang seems to have created a new type of weapon, this time they went to monitor the Yuan Mansion spies, almost all the army was wiped out, and those who escaped by luck only said that they heard a few strange noises, and the people around them would be killed immediately in an instant.
This invisible weapon of killing people has given everyone, including Sima Yi, a huge sense of insecurity.
When Cao Ren heard Sima Yi's words, he immediately stopped complaining, but asked very respectfully: "Does Zhongda have a way to deal with it?" ”
Sima Yi shook his head and sighed, now he is indeed very helpless, the current scale of Luoyang is no longer a sentence or two to explain, he does not feel once or twice, how difficult it is to support Cao Pi to ascend the throne.
If it weren't for the premonition of the fate of the Sima clan after Cao Ang's ascension to the throne in the future, Sima Yi wouldn't want to resist at all.
According to the rule that the Sima family does not put an egg in one basket, the eldest brother Sima Lang has gone to Luoyang, and Cao Ang seems to value this brother very much, and handed over Luoyang's Sikong Peng's subordinates.
In addition to Sima Lang, Sima Fu, Sima Kui, Sima Sui, Sima Jin and other brothers also went to Luoyang, which can also be seen that the Sima family has focused on Cao Ang, and Cao Pi is almost the only one on Zhang Luo, and even the Deadpool of the Sima family has no one to send it.
For the four words of bleak future, Sima Yi now feels the taste for the first time, and all of this is due to Yuan Yun, which is also the reason why Sima Yi persists, that is, he feels that Yuan Yun is inferior to himself, and it is simply unacceptable to ask him to surrender.
Sima Yi is a very tenacious person, and his patience is even more master-level, so he feels that what is needed for this kind of thing is patience, as long as there is an opportunity to seize it, then the past failures can be transformed, and then kill with one blow, so that the enemy can never turn over.
But where is the timing? Yuan Yun now makes Luoyang rich and rivals the country, and his strength is the first in the world, so even if the other party makes a slight mistake, it will also have unlimited room for error because of Luoyang's strength.
This time I accepted Cao Pi's plea and came to Yecheng with Cao Ren, just to take Yuan Yun down here, and even before that, I did a lot of foreshadowing, such as using Cao Pi's fame to buy the clans in the north, which was also very smooth, who knew that Yuan Yun only came for two months first, and the clans that were united before were made to fly, and now there are less than one in ten people who can still use it.
"We brought 5,000 men and horses over, this is our hard power, it's better to find a time to launch a surprise attack on that Yuan boy, as long as you kill him and do things well, it's a big deal that I will be demoted again, so Luoyang is equal to missing half of the pillars, and we will definitely find an opportunity to turn the tables." Cao Ren saw that Sima Yi had not spoken for a long time, and finally couldn't help but persuade.
When Sima Yi heard Cao Ren say this, he secretly cursed a fool in his heart, but he still replied patiently: "Directly sending people to attack is the next strategy, although Prime Minister Cao Cheng plans to let us fight in Yecheng, but if it is too much, he will inevitably suppress it, although we have the advantage of 5,000 soldiers and horses, but it is also a disadvantage, that is, the target is too large, it is easy to be monitored, so if we really send troops to attack directly, we must not have this military camp yet, and it will be surrounded and suppressed by Prime Minister Cao Cheng." ”
Cao Ren nodded, then sighed impatiently, and said, "This can't work, that can't work, we can't always squat in the camp outside the city, right?" ”
Looking at Cao Ren who was so impatient, Sima Yi remained silent, but changed the topic and said, "General Cao Ren seems to hate Cao Ang even more, when did he start to focus on Yuan Yun?" ”
Cao Ren was stunned, and seemed to feel so, so he couldn't help knocking on the door of his head and said: "Yes, I unconsciously focused all my attention on Yuan Xiaozi, it seems that the old man is really being led by the other party's nose and walking......"
"General Cao Ren, I have to say, Yuan Yun is really a very loyal friend, in order to protect Cao Ang, so he deliberately provoked the general you, so all these years, your spearhead has been aimed at him, and Cao Ang himself has the time and space to carry out his own affairs, his shogunate has now grown to the point of almost surpassing the imperial court, it is all because the general has used all his strength in the wrong place." After Sima Yi finished speaking lightly, he began to pay attention to Cao Ren's expression.
I saw Cao Ren be silent for a moment, and then slammed the table hard, and said: "What the old man hates is that Cao Ang forced the old man to death.
Thinking about it now, the old man suddenly realized that in fact, as long as Cao Ang was removed, no matter how powerful Yuan Yun was, he would not be able to escape the end of being picked up by the old man in the end. ”
When Sima Yi heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and continued his topic: "General Rong, forgive me, I didn't have much of a holiday with Cao Ang, I just regarded Yuan Yun as an opponent, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help the general behind my back." ”
Cao Ren was very happy when he heard Sima Yi say this, after Cao Ren was demoted from the wilderness, his prestige was greatly hit, and he didn't find out until he went out of the mountain now that Cao Pi, the nephew next to him in the past, seemed to have become the representative of their forces, and everything was up to him.
Before coming to Yecheng this time, Cao Pi had set the rules, everything must be arranged by Sima Yi, and now if Sima Yi does not order himself behind his back, it means that he can do whatever he wants, and such a cheap opportunity can not be missed.
"The old man received the news that Cao Ang plans to go to Wancheng to inspect, so it is an excellent ambush opportunity, the old man plans to lead three thousand soldiers to ambush, and he hopes that Brother Zhongda will ......"
"General Cao Ren doesn't need to tell me in detail, although Cao Pigongzi said that he would obey my dispatch this time, General Cao Ren is highly respected, where do I dare to command you to be old, so it is better to act separately, so it complements each other, wouldn't it be good for everyone."
Sima Yi is in a very happy mood now, if Cao Ren can really assassinate Cao Ang successfully, just like what he said just now, no matter how hard Yuan Yun tosses, once Cao Pi succeeds to the throne, he will die without a place to be buried, and the most important thing is that this matter was done by Cao Ren, so even if Cao Cao investigates it afterwards, he Sima Yi can also pick himself clean.
Cao Ren was very persistent in the assassination of Cao Ang, and saw that Sima Yi had no objection, where could he bear it, so he retreated and went to the camp to order troops, and personally wrote a notice to Cao Cao, only saying that there were people in Hanoi County who were in rebellion, and he wanted to lead troops to quell the rebellion.
Sima Yi had been standing at the door of the tent and watching quietly, and soon an attendant came to report that the frame had been prepared.
The most important thing now is to get rid of the relationship with Cao Ren, so Sima Yi plans to move back to Yecheng to live, and it is best to live under Cao Cao's nose, so what Cao Ren does later has nothing to do with him.
"Childe, since Cao Ren has gone to deal with Cao Ang, are we just waiting and watching the changes in Yecheng and don't have to do anything?" It was the old servant and uncle who had been serving Sima Yi beside him who spoke.
When Sima Yi heard Uncle He say this, he smiled faintly and said, "Cao Ren does Cao Ren's, and we do ours, so Sima Chong Zhang Luo's things don't need to stop, and we have to speed up." ”
Uncle He nodded and said: "This is very good, the old slave is still worried that Gongzi intends to give all the credit to Cao Ren, and if we do the same, we will be with Cao Pigongzi in the future, I'm afraid there will be no place at all." ”
Sima Yi frowned, shook his head and said: "Cao Ren has little chance, he can escape Yuan Yun's eyes by mobilizing three thousand soldiers and horses, so his fate is definitely not optimistic." ”
Uncle He was puzzled: "In that case, why did the son send Cao Ren to bad luck?" ”
Sima Yi's face sank, and he said: "Cao Ren is not enough to lose, leaving him in Yecheng will harm us, and now he is willing to lead troops to test Yuan Yun's new weapons, I can't ask for it, and this can also divert Yuan Yun's attention, so that we can act conveniently." ”
Speaking of this, Sima Yi suddenly sighed deeply and said: "Now there are fewer and fewer resources that can be used, although Cao Pigongzi controls the court, but the people's hearts are not in us, Luoyang's growth has shocked everyone, Yuan Yun can be said to know people's hearts very well, and he is very aware of the importance of the temptation of interests, so there are more and more people who take refuge in Luoyang, if we can't break through, we will really be completely defeated."
Now the confrontation between the north and the south, the war is about to break out, once we win in the north, the world is decided, and by then we will not be able to put Cao Pi in the position of heir, and our miserable fate will be decided. ”
Hearing Sima Yi say this, and seeing that the other party was already in his twenties and already had some eye wrinkles, Uncle He frowned, and said: "The old lord's body is getting worse day by day, and now it can be seen that his old man is planning to move the center of gravity of the Sima clan to Luoyang, and our side is already very short of manpower, and the old lord's meaning is to hope that we will give up Cao Pi Gongzi and do our best to help the Cao clan seize the world, so that the Sima clan will definitely be able to ensure the prosperity of the clan for another hundred years." ”
Sima Yi was silent for a moment, but shook his head and said: "My father is finally old, he can't see the situation clearly, Yuan Yun's son is full of hostility towards traditional aristocratic families, if he gains power, I'm afraid we will all be unlucky, pity those wall grass, until now they are still hesitant, and it will be a blow to them sooner or later." ”
Speaking of this, Sima Yi pointed to the position of the car window and continued: "Uncle He, close the window tightly, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the days ahead will not be easy." ”
