Chapter 148: Plague Outbreak (1)
"It is unspeakably expensive, and it is difficult to check and balance, and it is difficult to control ......"
Hearing that Sima Shi suspected that the emperor was suspicious of him, Sima Yi's face sank suddenly, he raised his head, and his eyes looked through the tent, and a pair of narrow wolf eyes reflected the cold light of Yin Qi.
After a long time, Sima Yi retracted his gaze and looked at his son, and said coldly: "Ziyuan, Your Majesty once had a secret conversation with Chen Jiao, the husband of Shizhong and Guanglu Da (dài), about being a father, do you know?" ”
"Chen Jibi?" Sima Shi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He didn't have a particularly deep impression of Chen Jiao, and he usually didn't pay much attention to this person, only knew that Chen Jiao was a close minister of Cao Rong's side, and the only glorious deeds of Chen Jiao that he knew were when Emperor Cao Cao died, the coffin was in Luoyang, and the crown prince Cao Pi was in Yecheng.
Chen Jiao was the only one who disobeyed the will of the people, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Wang Jiao is outside, and the world is afraid." The crown prince should take the throne as soon as possible to calm the expectations of the public. And Yan Linghou (Cao Zhang) is close to the side of the coffin, and if it is late, it will change, and if it changes, the society will be in danger. ”
From the first day of the official preparation, the next day, Emperor Wen succeeded to the throne as prime minister and king of Wei.
"Of course you don't know ......" Sima Yi took a deep breath and said with some rejoicing: "If it weren't for the early layout for my father, I befriended and won over a few little yellow doors and yellow doors around Your Majesty, and it would be difficult for my father to know about these palace secrets." ”
"Your Majesty once asked Chen Jibi: 'Sima Gong is loyal and upright, can he be described as a minister of the society?' ”
"Chen Jibi said: 'The hope of the imperial court, the society...... Unknown also. ’”
"Unknown! What an unknown also! Sima Yi sneered again and again, "From this point of view, what you said is true, Your Majesty must have no bottom in his heart about being a father." Therefore, while reusing his father and entrusting him with the important task of leading the army to rescue Jingzhou, he was quickly relieved of this position, obviously not wanting his father to be in charge of the army all the time, and cultivating henchmen and subordinates in the army. Hey ......"
"Hey, hey!" The corners of Sima Yi's mouth pulled out a weird smile, "But the more he doesn't let his father get something, the more he wants it for his father." Ziyuan, you immediately set off to return to Luoyang, recruited 3,000 dead soldiers in the countryside, and scattered in the surrounding counties of Luoyang, organized a march, practiced diligently, and trained into a usable army, which would be of great use to his father in the future. ”
Recruiting dead soldiers and privately storing soldiers and horses, in addition to plotting misdeeds and hiding evil intentions, what can be explained, and this is a serious crime of the Zhu clan, and all normal people will never dare to get involved.
But Sima Shi couldn't see the slightest look of fear on his face, and his face was expressionless, as if what he promised his father was just a trivial matter that didn't hurt. After bowing and retreating a few steps, just as he was about to leave, Sima Yi shouted: "Ziyuan, slow down!" This matter is very important, and a slight mistake is the disaster of destroying the door, Wanrong Xiu is wise, smart and clever, it is difficult for you to hide from her in this matter. Speaking of this, Sima Yi paused, and his tone slowed down: "Shi'er, Shangdang Taishou Yang Shu (dào) has a female name Hui Yu, beautiful appearance, virtuous and virtuous, I ask for it for you." ”
Wanrong is the word of Xiahou Hui in Sima Shi's main room.
Listening to his father's slightly apologetic voice from behind, Sima Shi's figure as he was about to turn around froze, although his father didn't say it clearly, he didn't understand what his father meant. Xiahou Hui was born in the Xiahou clan, and the blood of the Xiahou clan and the Cao clan flowed in her body, if the Sima family was rebellious, how would she choose between her mother and her husband's family...... This is a dangerous question.
Although after getting married, the husband and wife Qin Se and Ming gave birth to five daughters in a row, and their feelings were very strong, but "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", and the identity of the daughter of Xiahou and Cao's family is her biggest original sin!
If Wanrong closed her eyes forever and would never know what the Sima family was planning and planning, then she wouldn't have to make this difficult choice.
In an instant, Sima Shi was ruthless, he clenched his fists, strode away without looking back, and said: "The son understands that everything depends on the father. The voice was indifferent, without the slightest emotion, just like the cold gloom of Sima Yi's gaze.
Seeing his son leave, Sima Yi felt in his heart, worthy of his own species, this son's calm, decisive and vicious mind is extraordinary, green out of blue is better than blue, and better than himself when he was young.
"Qiang~"
With a light and crisp sound of gold and iron, Sima Yi completely pulled out his sword, inserted the sword on the ground next to the couch, held the hilt of the sword in his hand, his eyes were blazing, and his deep eyes were thoughtful.
There is a sentence Chen Jibi said well, now the Shu army is prosperous, coupled with Eastern Wu, Liaodong and Xianbei Zhuhu, the country is embattled, in recent years, the imperial court has mourned Cao Xiu, Wang Chang and other generals...... He was indeed the hope of the court. ”
Smiling proudly, Sima Yi was extremely conceited and thought: On guarding Gyeonggi, allocating military funds, leading the army to conquer, retreating from the enemy and relieving the siege, there are few people in the Manchu Dynasty and the princes of Gon who are on my right!
So wait and see, Your Majesty, you will definitely use the minister as a general again...... And at that time, the subordinates will get more than just tens of thousands of soldiers! ”
Sima Yi's hand holding the sword gradually exerted force, the ground cracked, and the sword pierced into the ground, and the sword body was not a foot deep......

The Imperial Tent of the Chinese Army
Cao Zhen, the general who had just withdrawn from the imperial tent, suddenly turned around and came back, asked to see him outside the tent, and shouted in fear: "Your Majesty! Big things are wrong!"
Cao Rong hurriedly ordered Cao Zhen to come in, but found that Cao Zhen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and approached with an anxious face, and said before saluting: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the plague has been discovered in the army!" ”
"Plague? How can there be a plague?! Cao Rong lost his voice, and his face immediately turned pale with horror.
Plagues have been recorded since ancient times, and the world can be said to talk about plagues and change color, and which outbreak of plague is not a catastrophe. Dead and wounded are extinct, people and animals are extinct, and the county and county towns are reduced to mounds! This plague broke out in the army, and it was still there! There is no distinction between high and low plagues, so wouldn't you be at risk of suffering from them?
Cao Rong suddenly became nervous.
"Your Majesty: Our army and nearly 300,000 Shu thieves gathered in Tongguan to confront each other, the tragic fierce battle, siege war has occurred, the corpses of people and animals killed in battle must be huge, these corpses of animals and animals are bound to be unable to be properly buried, and now the summer weather is hot, it is easy to induce plagues...... Cao Zhen replied.
"Quick! General, I command you to immediately isolate any soldier who is unwell and has symptoms of the plague, and then secretly executes him, and then buries him deeply! Cao Ei quickly made a decision that the plague must not be allowed to spread.
Cao Rong believes that although this measure is cruel, it is undoubtedly the most effective preventive measure in this situation!
Brutally execute a few sick soldiers in order to save more people! in order to keep the army of Wei!
