972, Liu Xuande even resisted Zhou Sima Yi sent an envoy to Shu
"Drop! Li Cunxiao's force exploded and was randomly born historical talent three: ****, ****'s four-dimensional attribute is force 101, command 70, intelligence 65, politics 53, ****'s implanted identity is unknown. ”
The name of the four words, is it a foreign general?
Wu Liren naturally didn't care about this, and the top priority now was to straighten out the soldiers and horses, appease the sacrificed soldiers, and arrange the next move. Although it was similar to Liu Bei's guess, the current situation was that it was difficult to launch a decisive attack again, but Xue Rengui's army and Li Jing, Chen Qingzhi and other soldiers and horses did not suffer much damage and could continue to launch some non-decisive attacks.
It's just that the most important thing now is grain and grass, and it is still necessary to wait until after the summer, and when the wheat is ripe, first harvest a handful of wheat, and then decide the next step of the march.
At this time, after Yecheng and Liu Bei retreated, they began to discuss the matter of contacting other princes.
"King Mingjian of Wei, his subordinates think that if the princes rise up together, although they are fighting for each other, Wu Ming's power is the largest, as long as he sends a person who can speak well and speaks well to various places, he will definitely be able to let the kings of the world send troops to fight against Zhou together."
This is also the most important thing that Liu Bei wants to discuss today - Lian Heng resists Zhou.
"I don't know who do you think, who should be sent, and what can be fought for?"
Now Li Keyong, the king of Jin in Bingzhou, Sun Du, the prince of Liaodong in Liaodong, Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang, Liu Xun, the king of Shu, and Fu Jian, the king of Yunnan, are the other five kings of the seven kings, although Liu Bei wants to unite everyone's forces to attack Wu Liren, but the reality is impossible to achieve.
"Back to the King of Wei, these five kings, there is only one person, and I Jizhou are endless, fighting frequently with each other, it is difficult to reconcile, this person is Li Ya, the king of Jin. Therefore, all the kings except this man can fight for it. ”
It was Xu Shu who spoke.
For Li Keyong, Liu Bei has always had a headache and wants to deal with him with all his might, but he has Wu Liren, a big problem; If you ignore him, he'll give you a sneak attack every now and then. At this time, several counties in Bingzhou had already been occupied by him, and if he hadn't sent Liu Xiu over this time, he wouldn't know where Li Keyong would have attacked.
Hearing this, a person suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The thief Li Ya, it is not enough to be troubled, a certain is willing to send an envoy to persuade Nasaiwai Wanyan Aguda and Murong Jun and others to attack Yanmen and Yunzhong together, so that Li Ya is still too busy to take care of himself, where is there still the ability to disturb the rear, when the time comes, as long as the eldest prince leads the state soldiers and horses to guard, Li Ya can never violate the border again." ”
Liu Bei looked up and found that it was Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Bi.
Just as Liu Bei was about to agree to him, he heard another person come out and say, "King Wei can't!" ”
Everyone looked over together, and then they saw that this person was Wei Zheng.
"What is Xuancheng's opinion?" Liu Bei motioned for him to continue.
Xin Bi glanced at Wei Zheng and frowned, but he also wanted to hear what Wei Zheng had to say.
"Wanyan Murong and other foreign tribes are all nomadic people in the northern part of the country, who have been suffering from the difficult conditions outside the Saibei region, and they all want to enter the Central Plains; Wanyan Aguta and Murong Jun are both ambitious people, if they form an alliance with them, they will inevitably take the opportunity to open their mouths, even if the King of Wei will not agree to any conditions, once Li Ya is defeated, then they will drive straight in with the iron horse, wouldn't it be to drive the wolf and welcome the tiger? ”
Wei Zheng's words made everyone can't help but talk about it, his words are a bit reasonable after all; And emotionally speaking, Li Keyong is a Han after all (implanted is a Han person), even if he fights, it is a dispute between Han people, which is an internal problem, but once he wants to deal with Li Keyong and let Xianbei Xiongnu and other aliens in, it is possible to bear the infamy through the ages.
"Mr. Wei's words are wrong!"
Hearing Wei Zheng say this, Xin Bi couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Although those aliens have many cavalry, they have always been accustomed to nomadic life, and they don't know how to attack and defend cities at all. Thinking that Gongsun Zhan could drive away Hu Yusai and beat them to the point where he had no power to fight back, what was there to worry about? Now is an extraordinary time, when we use extraordinary measures, if we have been stuck in such thoughts, then we will never be able to live in peace. Besides, let the two of them fight, why can't the King of Wei sit back and reap the profits? ”
Xin Bi's rebuttal is naturally reasonable, although the people of different races are strong, but in recent years, there has really been no uncontrollable situation, so with Liu Bei's talent and today's major civil and military generals, everyone under Liu Bei's command really did not take these little aliens in their eyes.
"But ......"
Wei Zheng wanted to say more, but was stopped by Liu Bei at once, "Now that the situation is critical, you should weigh the pros and cons, this king thinks that what Xin Bi said is not inappropriate, then let Xin Bi send two envoys to discuss the matter of jointly attacking Li Ya!" ”
Simbi was very happy and took the command; After all, he had sent two envoys for Yuan Tan before, but after Yuan Tan's death, the previous promise could not be fulfilled; Therefore, Xin Bi thought that his envoy would inevitably make Wanyan Aguta and Murong Jun agree to the previous agreement again.
"Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang, was originally after General Fubo, if he said it with righteousness, he would definitely succeed, I don't know who can send an envoy?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Tian Feng walking out and was willing to make an envoy. Immediately afterwards, he asked Tian Yu to send an envoy to Liaodong, wanting to persuade Gongsun Du to jointly crusade against Wu Ming.
"Then Liu Xunzheng of Xishu and Fujian Jian of Yunnan are fighting fiercely, I don't know who can persuade the two families to temporarily stop the army, and then discuss the matter of jointly crusading against Wu Ming?"
After talking about these three, Liu Bei set his eyes on Liu Xun and Fu Jian, who gave him the most headaches. Because the two families are now fighting on the same footing, it is even more difficult to persuade them to reconcile and march to Wu Liren at the same time.
At this time, I saw Yao Guangxiao walking out, and when Liu Bei saw it, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Mr. Yao, no!" This king really can't live without you, how can this matter let you go to danger alone? ”
Liu Bei didn't want Yao Guangxiao to go to Xishu like this, otherwise if there was any accident, then he would lose this think tank that had tried his best to plan for himself from the beginning.
"King Wei, don't worry! The subordinates do not want to recommend themselves, but to recommend a person, who can be in this position! ”
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, and did not recommend himself as Liu Bei said, but recommended someone.
This sentence made Liu Bei a little surprised, recommending talents or something, he liked it the most.
"Who does Mr. Yao recommend? Come on! ”
When Liu Bei was out on the expedition, he just took Xu Shu and Liu Bowen, Yao Guangxiao stayed in Yecheng to deal with internal affairs, and when he heard that he had discovered talents again, Liu Bei was naturally overjoyed.
"This person is Sima Yi, Sima Zhongda, the second son of Sima Fang in Hanoi!"
Hearing this, Liu Bei didn't react, and hurriedly asked, "What is this person's ability?" ”
"This person has strange talents, how smart he is, erudite and knowledgeable, and he is very talented! His father Sima Fang was also an important minister of the Han family in the past, so it was perfect to let him be an envoy! ”
Hearing Yao Guangxiao's praise, Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly pass Sima Yi!" ”
After a while, I saw a young man walking up slowly, glanced at Liu Bei, and immediately bowed and said, "Sima Yi, the grass people, pay a visit to King Wei!" ”
Hearing that Sima Yi also called himself a grass citizen, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Didn't Mr. Yao give you any official position?" ”
Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The grass people really don't have any real materials, Mr. Yao's praise is so much, it really makes Yi ashamed, and as for the official position awarded, it is naturally not acceptable!" Otherwise, if it can't be dealt with at that time, Wei Wangzhi will be guilty of dereliction of duty, and the head of the grass people will not be saved! ”
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yao Guangxiao, Yao Guangxiao shook his head slightly, Liu Bei suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Zhongda, since Mr. Yao recommends it so, then this king wants to reuse you!" If you don't agree, don't you think this king is not the master? ”
After speaking, his tone suddenly became cold, and when Sima Yi heard it, he quickly shook his head and denied it: "The grass people don't dare!" King Wei is angry! But the grass people are really a wasted person, if the errand is not done well, the king of Wei will definitely treat the grass people for a big crime, and the grass people really can't afford it! ”
"Hmph, since you don't dare, then listen to my orders! Today, I will send you to Yizhou to persuade the king of Shu and the king of Yunnan to stop the army and solve the fight, and jointly deal with Wu Ming. There's only one thing I need you to do, and if you're done, I'll set you free!" ”
Hearing this, Sima Yi was overjoyed and said, "Is King Wei serious? ”
"Why should this king deceive you?" Liu Bei asked rhetorically.
Sima Yi thought for a moment, frowned, and then arched his hand and said, "The grass people are willing to do this for King Wei!" It's just that the grass people have a small request! ”
"Say! No matter how much gold, silver and jewelry you want, you can! ”
Sima Yi replied with some embarrassment: "It's not that, the grass people think, if this thing is really done, then everyone will be happy; In case it can't be said, then ask King Wei to only treat the crime of the grass people, and don't implicate the grass people's families! ”
Sima Yi's request surprised Liu Bei a little, but he naturally agreed.
"It's good that Zhongda does it with all his heart! Even if it doesn't work, it's providence, what does it have to do with you? It won't involve your family! Go with confidence! ”
After hearing this, Sima Yi's face became very happy again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and kept thanking Liu Bei.
Liu Bei then sealed Sima Yi as a worker, and asked him to go back to prepare first.
When Sima Yi returned to the house, he saw his father, Sima Fang, several other brothers, and his wife, Zhang Chunhua, waiting anxiously there.
Seeing Sima Yi coming back, Zhang Chunhua was the first to greet him, and asked very worriedly, "Husband, what's wrong?" Did King Wei embarrass you? ”
Sima Yi's face was very calm at this time, he walked in front of Sima Fang, and after bowing his hand, he said: "King Wei asked me to persuade Fu Jian and Liu Xun to quit their troops and deal with Wu Ming together." ”
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Sima Fang thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did Zhongda agree?" ”
Sima Yi sighed and said: "That Yao Shan's eyes are quite vicious, and King Wei is not an idle person, if I shirk it, I am afraid that my Sima family will inevitably suffer a great disaster, so I can only reluctantly agree." ”
At this time, the boss Sima Lang looked at Sima Yi and said: "Before, the second brother said that Ma Teng, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are not masters who can last for a long time, so they have not decided to go out, so I don't know how this Liu Bei is?" ”
Sima Yi smiled and said, "King Wei is also a hero!" It's just that at this time, the world is strife, and it's hard to say who is the long-term master, so I don't want to make a decision easily, and I want to see the situation clearly. Otherwise, once you make the wrong choice, I'm afraid that my Sima family will have a worrying future! ”
Sima Yi then repeated the conversation between the court and Liu Bei, and Sima Fang asked again: "Zhongda, are you sure to persuade both sides to withdraw their troops?" ”
Sima Yi shook his head and replied slowly, "Why does my father think that I will really persuade both sides to strike the army?" ”
Sima Fang was a little strange, and asked again: "Could it be that you want to serve under the command of King Wei?" ”
Sima Yi smiled and nodded, "What about the effectiveness?" At this time, Fu Jian and Liu Xundou are life and death, if I can really promote the two sides to talk, then the king of Wei will inevitably think that I have extraordinary skills, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out in the future; On the contrary, if I can't succeed, then even if King Wei leaves me as a county official, he won't pay attention to me anymore, isn't it really at ease? ”
Sima Fang understood what Sima Yi meant at this time, although Liu Bei said that as long as Sima Yi completed this matter, he would be free, but if it was really completed, how could Liu Bei let go of a talent like this; On the contrary, if it can't be completed, then Liu Bei can only blame himself for being clumsy, and he will no longer put his mind on Sima Yi.
"Zhong Da's words are really wonderful, big brother admires it!"
Sima Lang couldn't help but admire again and again, and Zhang Chunhua on the side looked at Sima Yi with great appreciation.
Sima Yi cleaned up, and after receiving Liu Bei's order, he took a few servants and traveled in a light car to meet Liu Xun directly.
Hearing that it was a messenger sent by Liu Bei, Wu Yi was a little surprised, but Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were brothers, and they also had a clan friendship with the current Liu Xun, so he immediately asked Sima Yi to meet Liu Xun.
Sima Yi's arrival, although everyone talked about it, but some people had already guessed Sima Yi's intention.
Wu Yi asked directly: "Zhong Da is here, is there any order from King Wei?" ”
Sima Yi smiled and said: "My lord asked me to come because I wanted to persuade the king of Shu to fight with the king of Yunnan and deal with Wu Ming together first, I don't know what the king of Shu wants?" ”
Hearing Sima Yi's direct answer, Wu Yi was a little displeased, and said coldly: "King Wei can speak!" That Fu Jian assassinated the first king, and invaded my Yizhou counties and counties on a large scale, and now they are all about to hit Chengdu, let me Yizhou stop fighting? Then please ask Zhong Da to use his three-inch tongue to say that Fu Jian's 100,000 army will retreat! ”
