Chapter 45: Sima Yi's Decision
Yuan Yun has been very low-key recently, and the subordinates of the Yuan Mansion have also become very cautious, no matter what they go out to do, they will be followed by the nursing home, and outsiders only say that the Yuan Mansion has killed two singers, so the whole family has become a little nervous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And Yuan Yun behaved very strangely, there was a murder at home, he neither reported to the official, nor did he go to track down the murderer, and now in addition to going in and out of Cao Ang's mansion every day, he has not even been to Xincheng, and he is stuck in the study at home almost every day, and he doesn't know what he is messing with?
It is also strange to say that when the Yuan Mansion began to strengthen its defenses, Cao Ren's mansion also began to strengthen its defenses at the same time, especially the preparation of a large amount of sand, which was intended for fire prevention.
After hearing the news, Yuan Yun was even more sure that Cao Ren would definitely not be able to escape the death of the two singers in his mansion.
Moreover, Dong Cheng, Wu Shuo, and Chongji must also be involved, otherwise why would Cao Ren make so much sand and soil to return to the house, because it is very clear that the fire he Yuan Yun set can't be extinguished by water, which has been confirmed in Dong Bi's mansion.
Soon, Cao Cao's handwriting also reached the Yuan family, with six words: 'Don't do anything wrong'.
Yuan Yun looked at the six big characters written by Cao Cao himself, and felt funny, when did he start being treated as a tiger to guard against? As for worrying so much about Lao Tzu?
Although Yuan Yun thought in his heart, Cao Cao's order still needs to be executed, and now he directly retaliates against Cao Ren, which is definitely the most mentally retarded behavior, and he really wants to do it, it is estimated that it is Dong Cheng, Wu Shuo, and Chong Ji who are laughing, those three noble masters.
So far, the Yuan Mansion has not made any reaction, the Cao Ren Mansion is safe and reliable, and there has been no accident in the entire Xu Capital, and after a month, there is not even a single person who has been bitten by a dog.
However, in the villages around Xudu, a new profession began to emerge one after another, most of them were foot traders, and they always carried some practical and cheap good things in their loads full of goods, which made the villagers very happy.
And the most attractive thing is that these traders are all good eloquent, and when they arrive at the villages, they set up stalls at the entrance of the villages, and then they start to tell all kinds of stories loudly.
The stories are so fascinating that even the villagers who don't buy anything will come together with their families to enjoy a story such as the story of a hero named Wu Song who fought a tiger, or to hear about the adventures of a monkey, a pig, a fish, a monk, or a horse.
As a result, as soon as these foot traders come to the village, it almost becomes a festival in the village, and the foot traders sell small goods at the same time, but also spread some health knowledge, and the village is naturally very welcoming to these people.
As time went by, Zheng Xuan, who was still suffering from the rumors that the new city was not good, suddenly found that the villagers of some villages would spontaneously come to the new city to catch up with the market, and what was even more amazing was that the new city did not know when, and a piece of land had been measured out for the villagers to catch up with the market.
There will also be juggling-like performances in the open space, and the atmosphere is very lively, and the people who come to the market and barter are extremely happy.
Zheng Xuan inquired and found out that Liu Yiyi was in charge, only saying that it was to carry out Yuan Yun's orders, in addition to the villagers in the new city to watch the performance, they can also visit the construction of the new city, and those who are interested can also join the work of those workshops, it is not for nothing, you can get a delicious meal of noodles after cooking for half an hour, and there are some diced meat in it.
Facts have proved that no matter what era people are, they like to be lively, so the Xincheng market soon became a gathering place that everyone yearns for, and even the wealthy families of Xudu will participate in the development of the future, because they can always buy cheaper and better things in the market here.
Gradually, the rumors that the new city was a disaster ceased to spread, because everyone was filled with joy when they thought of the new city, and when they remembered that when they were in the new town, they must have been happy with the children, and the adults were smiling, and everyone was very happy.
Everyone was happy, but Sima Yi couldn't be happy, he felt that his plan was foolproof, and he very badly referred to what Yuan Yun did in Wancheng, that is, he hoped to arouse public anger, and then incite the nearby villagers to attack the new city, and then add some people who he had recruited, then this small new city could be peaceful overnight.
But today, I feel as if I have been slapped by Yuan Yun again, and now the people who are sent out to spread rumors will be driven away by the villagers, and some will even be beaten, this method seems to be bankrupt.
Bang!
Sima Yi slammed his fist on the table, feeling very angry about his defeat again, but in an instant he suppressed his anger, and his face immediately changed to that calm and waveless demeanor.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Who you off? Tell me, I'm going to beat him! Cao Pi just walked into Sima Yi's study, and saw the scene of his master smashing the table, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Sima Yi turned around, still with a kind face, waved his hand, and beckoned Cao Pi to a closer place, and then smiled: "Master is just moving his muscles and bones, and a fly tosses Master and me back and forth, so I slapped him to death." ”
Cao Pi nodded, then looked up and said, "Sister Cao Jie is bullying me again, Master quickly think of a way, she herself is making a lot of money now, but she doesn't let us spend it indiscriminately every day, it's really infuriating." ”
Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Have you told your sister Cao Jie about Master?" ”
Cao Pi's face changed, and he lied in an instant: "No, no, the master has explained that he is not allowed to say, so I didn't tell anyone." ”
How could Cao Pi's little trick be hidden from Sima Yi? It's just that Sima Yi didn't reveal it, and continued to smile and said: "You know "The Female Ring" by heart, have you finished reading it?" ”
After asking, Sima Yi laughed in his heart, he originally promised to be Cao Pi's teacher, but it was just to deal with Cao Ren, but he didn't expect this kid to be so smart, and now he is more serious.
In addition, after understanding Cao Ren's intention to cultivate Cao Pi as the future successor of the Cao family, Sima Yi became more cautious, if he could really do it, it would be more efficient than the Sima family to cling to any Xu Du magnates.
As soon as Cao Pi heard "The Female Ring", he immediately replied with some unhappiness: "That's a book for women to read, why did Master let me read it too?" ”
Sima Yi said with a smile: "The reason why you read "The Female Ring" is to let you deal with your rude sister, you tell the master, what is the "Female Ring" used for?" ”
Cao Pi complained and complained, but he still read "The Female Ring" according to the master's task, so he quickly replied: "Naturally, it is to let women know the women's way they should abide by and learn the etiquette that women should have." ”
Sima Yi smiled: "Can your sister do these etiquette?" ”
Cao Pi showed a rather disdainful expression and said, "Where can she do it, her temper ...... Uh, what does Master mean? Haha, I understand, Master is really powerful, and he helped me a lot in one fell swoop. ”
Cao Pi seemed to be very happy, and he was even more sure in his heart that it was right to worship this teacher, and now that he knew how to deal with Cao Jie, he suddenly couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly prepared tea for Sima Yi, and he was ready to slip away.
Looking at Cao Pi, who was so anxious, Sima Yi nodded angrily, and then gave an order, and let the little apprentice go. He himself came to the courtyard again, and looked at the snow in the courtyard with some annoyance.
Now there is no need to hide the secret of his operation behind his back, Cao Pi must have leaked the wind to Cao Jie, Cao Jie now has to enter and leave Yuan's mansion every day, where can this secret escape Yuan Yun.
It's better to go and talk to Yuan Yun, although they are enemies, there are always unexpected discoveries when chatting with Yuan Yun, and you will even feel a little happy.
Thinking so, Sima Yi immediately ordered the frame, ready to go directly to the Yuan Mansion for a turn, I have always heard that the food in the Yuan Mansion is delicious, and I can go and taste it today.
Sima Yi went to the front yard of Cao Ren's mansion, and happened to meet Cao Ren returning, and the two stopped in the courtyard after saluting each other.
Cao Ren saw that Sima Yi was going out, so he made a long story short and said: "Brother Sima's plan has been ruined, I just came back from Uncle Dong Guo, and several of them have made it clear that the strategy of spreading rumors to stimulate the people will not work." ”
After speaking, Cao Ren frowned, and continued: "According to my plan, I should directly organize the people to enter the new city, what do I think they can resist?" ”
Sima Yi shook his head slightly, and said, "Even if we are vigorously recruiting homeless deserters, we have only organized less than 2,000 people until now, how easy is it to break the city?" ”
Cao Ren shook his hand and said: "When the time comes, I will use the excuse of requisitioning the gunpowder army of the river island military village, and say that there is an abnormal movement in the West, Cao Ang naturally does not dare to disobey, and Cao Sikong will not stop it, what can I do with a small broken city without defense?" ”
Sima Yi persuaded again: "This is very inappropriate, once Cao Sikong investigates this matter, it will inevitably show his feet, this is our loss, if Cao Sikong knows that we are still secretly supporting Cao Pi's little son, I am afraid that we will lose everything." ”
Cao Ren frowned, nodded and said, "That's true, what about now, does Brother Sima have an idea?" ”
Sima Yi said with a smile: "I'm going to go to that Yuan Yun now, and I'll make a plan after talking face-to-face." ”
Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in an instant: "Brother Sima is extremely smart, you must have a plan, or not, I will wait for your good news, but do I still need to be so strict in this mansion?" What kind of thing is Yuan Yun, does he dare to come to my mansion to be presumptuous? ”
Sima Yi said: "The heart of defense is indispensable, some preparations are always good, General Cao Ren often leads troops to go to battle, naturally understands the reason, then Yuan Yun is crazy but doesn't care, the most terrible thing is that you can't catch his handle afterwards, there are two sons living in the mansion at the moment, what if there is a mistake?" ”
Cao Ren loves his son the most, especially after the death of the second son, his love has simply intensified, so that the eldest son Cao Tai persuaded his father several times not to be too doting, otherwise the younger brother Cao Fan will grow up in such an environment and will definitely do nothing.
It's just that Cao Ren doesn't take it seriously at all, he still loves him excessively, and when he hears Sima Yi talk about the safety of his two sons at this moment, he will naturally obey everything, and he can't wait to send a large army to guard all this mansion.
Sima Yi said goodbye to Cao Ren, but the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, the most difficult thing to deal with is the person who has no desire, Cao Ren cares about his son so much, that is his biggest weakness, and he can naturally do a lot of articles here.
After all, Cao Ren is Cao Cao's younger brother, and he will be brave for Yuan Yuntian, and he will not dare to burn Cao Ren's mansion, which is tantamount to throwing a rat bogey.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Sima Yi has always been very convinced of this sentence.
Out of Cao Ren's mansion, Sima Yi glanced at the sky, the sun was about to be in the middle, and it was a good time to go to Yuan's mansion for lunch.
