210954 Prelude to Chapter 52

Xun Dahan how can he be in such a situation in the courtyard of a mansion in xu du ma lang looked at the pool in the courtyard and let out a sigh but then. A chuckle came from behind him.

"What is my brother doing here?"

"Huh?" Sima Lang turned around when he heard this, looked at it with a smile, and greeted him, "Zhongda, how can you only come back now?" Didn't you also go outside the city to see the excitement? ”

"Lively?" Sima Yi shook his head and said with a smile, "If the elder brother said that the excitement is what he means when the son and Cao Gong are today, the little brother will know the future situation without looking at it!" ”

"Oh?" Sima Lang was a little moved when he heard this, sat on the stone bench by the pool, looked at Sima Yi and asked playfully. "In that case, Chung Da, let's talk about the future form"

"Hey. What's so hard about that? Sima Yi chuckled, walked over and sat down in front of his brother, and said slowly. Although the Son of Heaven is the place of righteousness, but he has no power in his hands, how can he be able to defeat Cao Gong's military power? Cao Gong only needs to make a difficulty, and those courtiers in the court dare not act without looking at his face", people are precious in their own knowledge, and the Son of Heaven does not know each other's strength, they are still so high and far, so uncontrollable, how can it be a big thing? Brother, look, it doesn't take three days for there to be movement in Cao Gong's place! ”

"You keep calling Cao Mengde a duke, Zhongda, why do you value him so much?" Sima Lang asked curiously.

"If the ruler is decisive in killing, how can he be merciful to a woman? When Duke Cao led 50,000 troops and falsely claimed to be 200,000 and attacked Xuzhou, the officials of the DPRK and China all laughed in their hearts. In the eyes of those people, Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou and was already full-fledged, so they all hoped that Cao Gong would return defeated; Now that Xuzhou has been conquered, Xu Du is shaken, my brother has never seen those people with panicked faces, and he doesn't know how to deal with them? ”

"Are you talking about Dong Cheng?" Sima Lang was puzzled, then nodded and said with a smile, "Zhong Da is right, Dong Cheng is the only person who is loyal, and the rest is not enough, and there is more than enough success and failure, Your Majesty and Cao Mengde have fallen into such a field." This person is the worst thing! ”

"Haha. If the Son of Heaven is nepotistic, how can he fall to such a step? This matter is nothing more than the young age of the Son of Heaven. The amount of qi is narrow, how can it be completely relied on Dong Cheng? Sima Yi retorted with a smile.

His words seemed to be speaking for Dong Cheng. But listen to him. But it's not the same thing at all, Dong Cheng came and Dong Cheng went, and he didn't take the current Guozhang in his eyes at all.

"Zhongda!" Sima Lang frowned, sighed and said, "It's not that the Son of Heaven is only a curtain, it's really a useless person, for my brother to be by the side of the Son of Heaven for February, when have you ever seen someone around the Son of Heaven to help him give advice?" It's just mediocre people, and the Son of Heaven has no choice but to do it."

"Didn't you think my brother cared so much about the Son of Heaven?" Sima Yi laughed, then smiled, and said with a strange expression, "In that case, why did my brother take the opportunity to get out of his shell and vote for him."

"Huh?" I saw Sima Lang's face stagnant, and he said with an unnatural expression, "Why is this so for my brother?" Zhong Damo wants to talk nonsense! ”

"Haha, why did the elder brother deceive the younger brother and treat the younger brother as the elder brother one by one!" Sima Yi looked at his brother. He said with a calm expression, "The scene under the city gate is supposed to be my brother's plan for the Son of Heaven. made Cao Gong suffer a big loss, so how could Cao Gong rest in his heart? It must be to find out who is the one who advises the Son of Heaven. Therefore, my brother got his wish and was able to see Cao Gong, and Cao Gong also looked at his brother differently! On the one hand, he fulfilled the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and curried favor with the Son of Heaven. On the other hand, he was able to take advantage of this to join Cao Gong's command. The elder brother's strategy of killing two birds with one stone is very admirable! ”

"Ahem!" was told by the second brother Sima Yi, Sima Lang only felt a burning face, and said, "Hugh wants to talk nonsense." Being a brother is just wanting to fulfill the righteousness of the monarch and the minister. If Cao Mengde wants to take me, there is no way to be a brother, so you are worried that your brother will be cut by that Cao Mengde? ”

"Haha!" Sima Yi laughed, pointed at his elder brother and said, "If that's the case, the younger brother should treat the younger brothers well." Teach him knowledge, the elder brother has a young wife, and the younger brother takes care of himself."

"How daring. Do you want to curse your brother to death? Sima Lang scolded with a smile, and when he went, he was avoided by Sima Yi. With a heavy sigh, he sighed. "I don't want to be like this for my brother, but the Son of Heaven is really not the master, my Sima family should be prosperous, since the branch of the Son of Heaven has been abolished, it is better to ask for a good one for the future"

"Then brother has figured out how to deal with Cao Gong?" Sima Yi asked with a smile.

"How can you devote yourself to him so easily. Wouldn't this weaken the name of my Sima family? Sima Lang said lightly.

"Brother is wrong!" Sima Yi shook his head and said in a low voice, "At this time and that time, if the elder brother has this thought, the younger brother will have to arrange the elder brother's funeral first!" ”

Sima Lang's face changed when he heard this, but he was not angry with his younger brother, he had always known that his second brother's intelligence was far above him, so he asked anxiously, "How do you say this?" ”

"My brother has a good mind, but he forgets the current situation. I forgot who Cao Gong sent to "arrest, brother" Sima Yi smiled slightly, and said in a condensed voice, "If Jiang Shouyi is in Xudu, if you want to come to this matter, Cao Gong must have taught this person, I heard that this person can see people, and I don't know if it's true or not, but this person's benevolence and righteousness are not false, if this person really comes, it doesn't hurt if my brother is arrogant, although there is something wrong, but there is no danger to his life; However, now this person is not in Xudu, so there are only a few people who can wait for Cao Gong's heavy responsibility, Xun Wenruo, Cheng Zhongde, and Li Xianzhang!

Among the three. heard that Li Xianzhang did not want to be an official, but in order to repay the grace of saving his life and joined Jiang Shouyi's door as a guest, this person should be excluded; And if Xun Wen is now in charge of the government affairs of Xudu, he is very busy with all kinds of things, and he can't take a break for a moment, so this person can also be ruled out, then only Cheng Zhongde is left

"The second brother is wonderful, and he admires the brother very much" The person who prospers my Sima family must be this person! looked at the second brother in front of him. Sima Lang praised and asked with a smile, "What about Cheng Zhongde?" ”

"Brother doesn't know?" Sima Yi laughed and said, "Cheng Zhongde is also undoubted, and he also has good strategies under his rule, but he is very ruthless, and the law and order in the past are unstable. Jiang Shouyi is to use this person to rectify, half a month Xu Du is peaceful, most of the crimes are filled with the army, and the slightly more serious ones are even beheaded in the vegetable market, so Xu Du's security is fixed, if this person really comes, the brother can think of a good countermeasure in his heart, otherwise he will be rewarded"

"Seems to have such a thing," Sima Lang muttered. looked at the second brother's eyes with more and more admiration. Cheng Xin asked, "How do you want to act as a brother?" ”

"Brother doesn't need to be pretentious, I want to ask you before Cheng Zhongde comes. Brother can tell the truth, and then he will take you to see Cao Gong, this moment is the key, if Cao Gong asks you if you are willing to devote yourself to his account, brother must not hesitate at all, and then Cao Gong is suspicious to ask why. The elder brother said his family background, and then said, "I originally wanted to vote for Cao Gong, but I have no way" so that, to

"You!" Sima Lang shook his head, quite helpless, and saw the second brother smile on his face, "I moved, and said playfully." "I saw you smiling just now, could it be the daughter of that family?"

"Huh. Brother, don't talk nonsense," Sima Yi said with a chuckle. "The younger brother is the one who meets a person who is not comparable to the younger brother!"

"Oh?" Sima Lang was moved when he heard this, and asked intently, "Is it the prince of Xu Du?" Why can't you touch it as a brother? What is his name? ”

"This person doesn't seem to be from Xu Du, his surname is Zhuge , his single name is Liang, and his expression is Kong Ming," his brother and he played a game of chess with the method of garrisoning, but it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser

Fighting with the second brother is equal, this person is indeed not to be underestimated. Si Haolang thought to himself slightly, and then asked suspiciously. "Why didn't Zhongda invite him to a party?"

The younger brother is invited, but he has something to do, the friendship of a gentleman, plain as water, so it is okay, but the younger brother has a premonition in his heart, I will meet this person in the future"

"Oh?" Sima Lang smiled and looked at his brother and said. "Zhongda is so confident?"

"Hehe" didn't reply, Sima Yi smiled slightly. It's kind of in response to my brother's question.

When you say goodbye. Maybe it's time to fight on the battlefield, and then I'll win or lose with you again, Zhuge Kong!

Meanwhile. Zhuge Liang, who was in Jiangfu, sneezed inexplicably.

What Huang Shi said is extremely true, so that Jiang Shou "Situ is a respectable person". Xu Shu said that, but he heard a sneeze sounding beside him. Hearing this, he looked at Zhuge Liang and said in surprise, "Kong Ming, could it be that he suffered from the cold?" ”

"I don't know why" Zhuge Liang also felt a little inexplicable, thought about it and said to Huang Chengyan, "Father-in-law, according to the opinion of the son-in-law, Cao Mengde is not a kind person, and His Majesty treats him like this today." He must be angry in his heart, in this way, Xu Du is afraid that there will be no peace in the future, how can such a son-in-law let his father-in-law stay in Xu Du alone? Father-in-law, read on Yueying's face, father-in-law and I will return to Xiangyang together, recently Yueying missed her father-in-law too much, and her health is quite poor, so go on like this"

"Yes. Huang Shi, the two teachers were looking forward to Huang Shi going back to play chess with his second elder, and Xu Shu was also persuaded on the side.

Hearing that his daughter was in poor health, although Huang Chengyan knew that it was his son-in-law's pretense, he was still a little worried in his heart, hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly, "That Jiangxing kid has the current situation, and the old man is worry-free, but he handed over all the affairs in the house to the old man, how can the old man leave like this?" When he comes back, the old man will tell the truth, and it's not too late to go! small

Although Huang Chengyan Koufeng is not worried, he is very worried in his heart, he has lived in this mansion for more than a year, he knows Jiang Zhe's personality and preferences, and he also knows that he does not care about the Han royal family, which is the most worrying for Huang Chengyan.

The deceased old man was killed by the Han Dynasty, and the family was slaughtered, and his nephew was so disrespectful to the Han royal family. How does this make him blind?

Moreover, the old Zhijiao was entrusted to Huang Chengyan to teach the younger generations knowledge, but Huang Chengyan secretly observed Jiang Zhe's age. Mo, even the word learning has never been mentioned, leaving like this, Huang Chengyan is guilty and uneasy,

So. Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu are under the name of Huang Chengyan's nephew. Stayed in Gangh"

After the second body!

Let's say that Cheng Yu should track down who plotted for the Son of Heaven in the name of Cao Cao, in exchange for the eunuchs around the Son of Heaven, and with a little strictness, the eunuchs said everything.

"Sima Boda". Cheng Yu muttered lightly, and then ordered his subordinates to find a place for him in the city. It pays off in a few days.

Day. Sima Lang was reading a book in the study of the house where he temporarily lived, when he suddenly heard a commotion under the door, and then it seemed that a large number of people poured in, and his heart moved, and he suddenly guessed a few points.

Thinking of his second brother's words, Sima Lang shook his head and smiled bitterly, but put down his book and looked at the door of the study. I saw a person slowly walking in,,

Slowly walking into the study, Cheng Yu glanced around, then looked at the young man in front of the desk and said, "You are Sima Boda?" ”

Sima Lang stood up and bowed, and said softly, "The student is exactly."

"Take it away!" Cheng Yu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately shouted at Cao Bing behind him, and then the two burly Cao soldiers took a few steps forward and immediately grabbed Sima Lang.

"Why is that?" Sima Lang pretended to be panicked and said, "The student has violated the king's law?" ”

Cheng Yu looked at Sima Lang intently, and said lightly, "It's because the official has something to ask you!" Take! With that, he turned and took the lead in leaving.

"Let's go!" The two Cao soldiers scolded and pushed Sima Lang.

This person's face was gloomy, presumably Cheng Zhongde, who was in charge of criminal affairs, and Zhong Da's words were indeed wrong

was forcefully pulled into a carriage, Sima Lang looked at Cheng Yu who was looking at him opposite, and said with a smile, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, Your Excellency is so rampant, how can there be a royal law?" ”

"This official is the minister of the DPRK and China, what is your identity? Seeing the official and not attending the ceremony, what can I do if I behead you? Cheng Yu replied with a sneer.

Hearing the cold words, Sima Lang's heart froze, and he was immediately convinced of the second brother's words, but he only agreed, and he didn't dare to say anything again.

"Humph!" Cheng Yu snorted coldly and shouted to the soldiers outside the car in a low voice, "Go to the lord's mansion!" ”

"No!" The soldier outside the car answered.

Lord, Cao Mengde? Was counted by the second brother again?

After the engraving. The carriage is the great general's mansion, Sima Lang got out of the carriage, glanced at the dazzling plaque, and straightened his clothes, but he didn't know that Cheng Yu was wearing it properly, but asked Cheng Yu to have a little good impression of this person: the etiquette is thorough.

followed Cheng Yu around the General's Mansion for a while, and finally came to Cao Cao's study, and Cheng Yu called softly outside the door. "Lord, Yu brought that person here!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao in the room was surprised, and then said with a smile, "Quick! Invite him in". The laughter was very bold.

Somehow, as soon as he heard the laughter of the people in the room, Si Qilang seemed to have removed the last trace of fear, straightened his clothes, strode in with Cheng Yu, bowed his head to Cao Cao behind the desk and bowed his hand, "Student Sima Boda, I have seen the general!" ”

"Okay." Cao Cao chuckled in response, turned to Cheng Yu and asked, "That's it."

Cheng Yu bowed his hand respectfully and said in a condensed voice, "Yu has investigated it in detail, and he dares to believe that this is it."

"Oh" Cao Cao nodded, looked at Sima Lang and said lightly. "Do you know how embarrassing your plan has embarrassed me, Simaboda?"

The tone was slow. I don't hear the slightest hint of blame. But when Sima Lang heard it in his ears, it was like thunder in the sky, and he hurriedly raised his hand to justify, "Your Majesty asked the students, and it is not easy for the students to retreat. I hope the general will see clearly! ”

"You don't have to be so restrained" Cao Cao laughed, got up and walked to Sima Lang's side, nodded and praised, "You"

"Goo" subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Sima Lang lowered his head, staring at his feet, not daring to move at all, or to justify.

is different from Jiang Zhe, who has no feelings, and now it is Xun Yu and Cheng Yu. also gradually felt the domineering spirit inherent in Cao Cao's body, especially when Cao Cao was angry, the powerful oppressive force could really make people's hearts Kanke. Fearful.

Just ask. Sima Lang saw such a character for the first time, and it was not easy to not show fear on his face, and even more?

Walking around Sima Lang, Cao Cao put away his looking eyes, and said with a smile, "You have a plan, but you are embarrassed and hateful in front of the people of the whole city."

Sima Lang was shocked in his heart, and secretly took a breath to calm himself, because he knew that Cao Cao still had something to do!

"But for the ability in your chest, Cao is also admired." With a light snort, Cao Cao Lang smiled and said, "How." Are you interested in listening to it under Cao's account? ”

This is the moment! Sima Lang bowed his hand and said, "Thanks to Cao Gong for being so valued, Sima Lang is not a person who knows how to lift, and he is willing to obey!" ”

"Oh?" Seeing Sima Lang so refreshing, Cao Cao Guo was a little skeptical, and asked with a smile, "Without careful consideration." replied to Cao, but perfunctory? When it comes to perfunctory, his tone is also extremely cold. Cao Cao was looked down upon in the past because of his family background, and when he asked someone to do something, others responded with perfunctory, which is why he hated perfunctory words the most.

The second brother is really a genius in the world! Sima Lang thought in his heart. Then he hurriedly arched his hand and said, don't dare, don't dare. Cao Gong is in love, how dare students offend? The student wanted to vote for Cao Gong, but his status was low. There is no way to see Cao Gong's side, but today is a wish! ”

"Oh. Is there such a thing? Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile, "So, let's see, is Cao qualified to let you into my account?" ”

Sima Lang raised his head, glanced at Cao Cao slightly, and then bowed his head and bowed his hand, "Sima Lang, I've seen the lord!" ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Cao Cao stroked his palms and smiled, turned to Cheng Yu and said, "Today's is very smooth!" ”

"Congratulations to the lord for getting another wise man" Cheng Yu complimented Cao Cao's heart, then glanced at Sima Lang lightly, and sneered in his heart, you are interested!

The unkindness in Cheng Yu's eyes slowly retreated, Sima Lang was relieved and secretly thought, if you don't know how to be interested, I'm afraid it won't be easy today, the second brother has it, the second brother has it,

With Sima Lang, Cao Cao was happy, but there was one person in the city who was not so happy, and this person was Liu Xie, the son of today!

After reporting that Sima Lang was forcibly taken away from the mansion by Cao Cao's soldiers, Liu Xie was furious, raised an incense burner and was about to smash it, suddenly remembered what Sima Lang said, hesitated to put down the incense burner in his hand slowly, and then urgently recruited Dong Cheng.

As Sima Lang said to his brother, the Son of Heaven is not a person who can only be used, but a person who cannot be used, so he knows that Dong Cheng and his ilk can't do anything, and they have no choice but to use it, and the rest of the people around him are even more unbearable, only promises, they are just some sycophants.

At this moment, most of the ministers of the court have voted for Cao Cao's account, and the small half are still waiting, placed in the ministers of Qingliu, and now they are leaderless people. This old man also wants to protect himself, let alone others?

That's why. Where is Liu Xie's available people?

"Your Majesty" looked at Liu Xie's angry appearance, Dong Cheng didn't dare to speak much, and Jiang Yin was getting older. Since he has an opinion, how can he allow Dong Cheng to point fingers again?

"Humph!" Sitting on top of the Dragon Palace, Liu Xie hated to pinch the dragon ball on the Dragon Palace, as if he wanted to crush it.

"Cao Mengde deceives people too much!"

"Yes, Yes, Your Majesty is happy and angry, and take care of the dragon's body" Dong Cheng said hesitantly.

"Humph!" With a cold snort, Liu Xie's anger in his heart was hard to dissipate. Pointing at Dong Cheng and shouting, "Take care of the dragon body, take care of the dragon body, are you going to say this now?" On that day, the United advised you not to make friends with Cao Mengde and Jiang Shouyi, can you listen? Why don't you dare to do that anymore? Could it be that he is afraid of Cao Mengde's forces? ”

"If that's not the case," Dong Cheng replied with a wry smile, "What is the regret of the minister's life?" But if the old minister also dies, who will relieve His Majesty's worries? ”

Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart, if there is no such person, I am afraid that there will not even be a confidant around him" After thinking about it, he was about to speak comfortingly, when he suddenly heard a chuckle from outside the house.

"Guozhang and go with peace of mind, I have my own worries to share with Your Majesty!"

Unexpectedly, there were people outside the house, Liu Xie and Dong Cheng's faces changed, and they glanced at Dong Cheng, and Liu Xie shouted in a deep voice. "Who's outside the house, come in and see the couplet!"

"Obey the order!" With a light response, one person pushed open the door of the house, walked in slowly, looked at Liu Xie, and showed a smile on his face.

Liu Xie was a little puzzled and said in a condensed voice. "Who are you? Why are you sneaking around outside the house? ”

"It's sneaky stealing," the person laughed and said, "It's openly stealing, hehe." Jokes and jokes, please atone for your sins, and come here to relieve your Majesty's worries! ”

"You?" When Liu Xie heard this, he glanced at the person suspiciously, only to see that he was not a few years older than himself, sneered, and said lightly, "How can you be virtuous." How dare you say that it is a joint solution? Lian Nai doesn't blame you for stealing. Go back! ”

"Your Majesty, why does you use raccoon dogs to treat people?" The man frowned, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty has never heard of it. You can’t judge a book by its cover? If His Majesty insists on ordering him to return, then "Farewell!" ”

"Wait!" Liu Xie saw that this person's words were reasonable and his conversation was extraordinary, and he knew that this was the time to use people, so he didn't dare to slack off, raised his hand and said, "You want to solve your worries for Lianlian, why can't you know your name?" How can you believe in you for such a plain reason and called Lianlian? ”

"It's easy!" The man smiled slightly, straightened his clothes, and then bowed his hand and said, "Sima Zhongda of Wenxian County, I have seen Your Majesty!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "You also have the surname Sima?" That you have with Berda"

"This is my brother!" Sima Yi smiled slightly and said, "My brother's name is Lang, the word Boda, the next name Yi, the word Zhongda, the second in the family"

"Sima Zhongda?" Dong Chenghu, who was beside Liu Xie, said suspiciously, "Sima Boda once said that he has a younger brother who is several times more talented than him, could it be you?" ”

"This is what my brother said to raise his love," Sima Yi arched his hand and thanked him, but the smile on his face couldn't hide his confidence in himself.

Sima Zhongda, "Looking at the person in front of him, Liu Xie seemed to see the person who appeared when he was rescued from Dishan in the old days, the person he loved and hated."
