Summary of the previous chapter: A man saw through Ma Xiaoquan's previous actions, but he did not debunk it, but lit a bonfire, and threw a stone into it Ma Xiaoquan took out the stone in the fire, Yu Yinshi met with the man, and this meeting knew that the man was Sima Yi

++++++++++++++++++++ Sima Yi thought for a while, and said: "Lord Shangxian is really worthy of being an immortal, it's better to sigh to himself."

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "Zhongda doesn't have to be humble, in the past, Cao Zilian (Cao Hong) looked for you, and you didn't bother to associate with him, and Xiao Cao, even Cao Cao's order, you obediently came to take up the post, you must also have some ideas, right?" ”

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said, "That's right, I don't know what the Immortal Lord has to say about this Han Dynasty?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?" ”

Sima Yi paused for a moment and said, "The Han will die!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly and said, "The big man will die? What if it didn't die? ”

Sima Yi pouted: "It is impossible not to die, the current Han Dynasty is already a situation in the middle of a foreign power, there is Ming Gong (referring to Cao Cao) in the north, and Sun Quan Liu Bei is in Jingzhou Jiangdong in the south, and in less than fifteen years, Yizhou may fall into the hands of the two!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised, he was not surprised by what Sima Yi said, he was surprised that Sima Yi analyzed the situation in Yizhou.

"Yizhou?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled, "Let's hear it~"

Sima Yi said: "In the past, Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, petitioned Emperor Ling to transfer there as early as the Zhongping period, firstly, he could take refuge when the war was too tight, and secondly, Yizhou was dangerous, if he wanted to attack there, it must be difficult to say, Liu Yan's original move was to keep Yizhou on the line, of course, it also depends on how long the Han Dynasty can hold out."

Ma Xiaoquan asked, "Then what if the Han Dynasty can't hold out for long?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Yizhou is mostly dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Han Dynasty falls, it can be self-sufficient." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and motioned for Sima Yi to continue.

Sima Yi said: "After Liu Yan died, his son Liu Jiyu (referring to Liu Zhang) took over Yizhou Mu, but unfortunately, Liu Jiyu is not as good as Liu Yan, his nature is weak, and he is good to the people, but in this troubled world, if you are weak, you will inevitably let others swallow it."

Ma Xiaoquan interjected and asked, "Zhongda, didn't you think that Xiao Cao would take Yizhou away?" ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "No, because although the Ming Duke is in the north, there are rebellions in the north from time to time, and the Hanchen in the court and the central government have many objections to the Ming Gong's resolution, so the outside must first settle the inside!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded.

Sima Yi's analysis is indeed reasonable, indeed, Cao Cao once talked to Ma Xiaoquan about Yizhou, but because there were rebellions in this northern land from time to time, and those Hanchens in the court were always working against Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao tired of coping, and the affairs of Yizhou have been put on hold.

Thinking about the battles of Chibi and Wulin, Cao Cao's real defeat was not because of how brave the Sun-Liu coalition army was, but because Cao Cao's rear was unstable, of course, these were also told by Cao Cao afterwards. As for the southeast wind, Cao Cao was also amazed that his character was very poor

"So in your opinion, what should Cao Cao do next?"

Sima Yi thought for a moment and said, "Destroy Ma Chao and pull out Han Sui!" ”

Hearing Sima Yi say this, Ma Xiaoquan smiled, "Then what if Han Sui and Ma Chao are destroyed?" ”

Sima Yi said: "To Liu Bei, one word - consumption; To Sun Quan, two words - appease. ”

Ma Xiaoquan pursed his lips, and secretly sighed in his heart that this Sima Yi is really powerful, and he was extremely smart and deceitful in history, and he chatted with Sima Yi a little today, and Ma Xiaoquan did see Sima Yi's long-term strategic vision and judgment.

No wonder Cao Wei was able to fall into the hands of the Sima family in the end, and after a long time, Sima Yi had already thought about the future development strategy.

Hearing Ma Xiaoquan's laughter, Sima Yi asked, "What are you laughing at, is it wrong to say it next?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "No, no, what Zhong Da said before is all reasonable, Ben Xian is thinking, since Zhong Da has thought of this, why not remind Xiao Cao?" ”

Sima Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Lord Shangxian doesn't know, why didn't I remind Ming Gong, but Ming Gong seems to have some scruples about me."

Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Hmm~~ That's why you came to me today, right?" ”

Sima Yi nodded, knelt down in front of Ma Xiaoquan with a puff, and said respectfully: "Sima Yi begs Lord Shangxian for guidance." ”

Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea in his heart.

"Zhongda, since you asked me to give you advice, don't you owe Ben Xian a favor? This favor, how can you return it? ”

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and his words were chosen.

"Hehe" Ma Xiaoquan helped Sima Yi up and said with a smile, "So Ben Xian thought of a way to make you return the favor, hehe"

Sima Yi said: "Lord Shangxian, please say, as long as I, Sima Yi, can do it, I will do it." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "At present, I have four sons, the eldest son Xiao, the second son Kun, the third son Zheng, and the fourth son Qiang, I want my four sons to worship you, please be their teacher Zhongda, I don't know what you think?" ”

"This" Sima Yi hesitated when he heard this.

Ma Xiaoquan saw that Sima Yi didn't speak, but his heart was secretly refreshed.

After Cao Cao, Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to give up the throne, and in the Cao Wei political arena at that time, Sima Yi gradually showed his edge and became a new star in the military and politics; Sima Yi was followed by Sima Shi Sima Zhao, and later Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan forced Cao Wei to be the puppet emperor Chan Rang, and changed the country name to "Jin" to unify the north and south

Ma Xiaoquan knew very well that he would not stay in this era forever, and he had to find a big tree for his children to climb, a big tree that could be climbed for at least fifty years.

And this big tree, the best quality is the Sima family.

Now Sima Yi took the initiative to come to the door, Ma Xiaoquan naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity, otherwise, it would definitely take a lot of effort to ask Sima Yi for help in the future.

"Lord Shangxian, will there be too many four?"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "There are more than four, do you know how many students Lu Zhi had in the past?" ”

Sima Yi replied: "As far as I know, there are 723 named disciples alone. ”

Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands and said: "That's not it, Benxian just asked you to teach Benxian's four sons, which is actually very little, right?" ”

Sima Yi thought for a moment and nodded.

"How about it, Zhongda, think about it?"

Sima Yi smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

"Good!" Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands, "Then it's decided!" With that, Ma Xiaoquan turned his head to leave.

"Lord Shangxian!" Sima Yi stopped Ma Xiaoquan, "Lord Shangxian, you haven't mentioned it to me yet." ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and pointed to Sima Yi's feet.

Sima Yi looked down at his feet and saw six words.

These six words are spliced together with light blue flames, although Sima Yi has not seen Ma Xiaoquan's fire-resisting ability on the spot, but as soon as he saw these six flame words, he immediately understood that this was Ma Xiaoquan's doing. It's just that when Lord Shangxian got these six words, Sima Yi doesn't know.

"Words and aspirations, relatives and Cao."

Sima Yi repeated these six words silently several times until the pale blue flame was completely extinguished.

"I see, that's so, haha" Sima Yi suddenly realized, patted his head, shook his head and disappeared into the night

A few days later, Ma Xiaoquan sent a letter to Cao Cao, saying that Cao Ying in the north of the city had basically settled down.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately went out of the city to invite Ma Xiaoquan to drink together.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao and Ma Xiaoquan recalled the past when they were young, and Cao Cao fell asleep while talking.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't stop long, and in the afternoon, he led his son back to the Ma family compound.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw Sima Yi.

"Zhongda?"

Sima Yi stepped forward and bowed his hand respectfully: "Lord Shangxian, I came down to teach my students. ”

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, turned his head to his four sons, and said, "Rabbit cubs, come and meet your teacher!" ”

The four sons stepped forward together and bowed to Sima Yi decently: "Hello teacher! ”

This time, Sima Yi was a little stunned.

As early as when Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao were drinking and talking, Sima Yi had already come to the Ma family's compound. Originally, Sima Yi came to the Ma family's compound today to find Ma Xiaoquan to thank him, but after chatting with Hua Yuexin and others, Sima Yi immediately changed his mind.

According to Ma Xiaoquan's wife Hua Yuexin's description, his husband sometimes does not play cards according to the rules, Sima Yi thought about it, and decided to surprise the immortal master Ma Xiaoquan - that is, he, as a teacher, took the initiative to find students

Looking at the four children in front of him, all of them were full of energy, their expressions were respectful and strict, and there was no naughty appearance, Sima Yi secretly rejoiced that he had pressed the right idea before: If it weren't for his own unreasonable cards, I'm afraid this student would not be so meaningful.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't know what Sima Yi thought, but he was able to let his four sons worship Sima Yi as a teacher, his goal had been achieved, and as for the future, he didn't care

"Zhongda, please!" Ma Xiaoquan turned sideways and gave way to his position.
