Chapter 122: The Lord Seeks Virtue
Guo Jia suggested using Sima Jin's matter to separate Sima Yi and Gao Yuan.
Cao Cao touched his beard and said, "I'm afraid there will be more difficulties." ”
Guo Jia also knew that it was very difficult to separate Sima Yi, but he had another opinion, saying: "It's just that if you separate Sima Yi, it will be difficult. However, if you start with Sima Fang and his other sons, you may be able to force Sima Yi to vote. You can send Sima Lang back, and he will naturally persuade Sima Lang's family to come to the lord's place. ”
Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's advice, ordered everyone to retreat, and summoned the current Sikong Peng Sima Lang alone.
"Your younger brother Sima Jin will definitely not be guaranteed." After Cao Cao was alarmist, he finally said, "With Gao Mengyan as I know, he is the most settling account after the autumn, and it is estimated that your family is enough to choke." ”
Sima Lang was really shocked, fell to the ground, and said, "Ask Sikong to let me go back to Hanoi to save my father and brother." ”
Cao Cao was in the middle of it, and after pretending to groan, he said, "You go." ”
In order to save his father and brother, Sima Lang returned to Hanoi in three days, and thought on the way that when he went home, he would persuade the whole family to leave Hanoi and go to Xudu to settle down.
It is said that Sima Lang secretly entered Sima Mansion, and Sima Fang drove away the subordinates and took a litter of horses to meet them.
"Son, why are you here!" Sima Fang was very puzzled, in his opinion, if Sima Lang, who served in Cao Cao, was discovered by Gao Yuan, he would definitely die.
Sima Lang was worried, looked at his father and brother, and said, "My sixth brother is about to be beheaded, how can I not come!" ”
As soon as this remark came out. A litter of horses suddenly became sad.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Sima Lang knew that they had accepted the reality a little, so he said, "Gao Mengyan can kill my sixth brother today." You can kill other people in the future. Dad, why don't you follow me, let's go to Xudu as a family. Cao Sikong promised me that he would definitely arrange for you brothers. Then he said to the ponies, "Isn't it beautiful that you and I brothers work together!" ”
A litter of horses was quite moved, and the old horse Sima Fang said: "This matter still needs your second brother's nod, if not." There is no possibility of success. ”
What Sima Fang said is very reasonable, this is all a family. Living together again, it is impossible to hide it from Sima Yi.
Sima Lang was relieved to see that his father and others agreed, and this thing was half done. It was easy to say that Sima Yi was the only one left, so he said: "My second brother will return tonight, let's go and talk together." ”
Night.
When Sima Yi saw Sima Fang, he was slightly frightened, and hurriedly saluted: "Brother! ”
Sima Lang walked up, helped Sima Yi up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Second brother is better than brother now." ”
Sima Yi thought secretly. The eldest brother came home suddenly, and he must have come to persuade me to defect to Cao Mengde.
Sure enough, I only heard Sima Lang say: "Brother, do you know Boyi and Shuqi?" ”
Boyi and Shuqi starved to death together at the foot of Shouyang Mountain. The brothers were not separated until death, and everyone who reads knows this.
Sima Fu and the other brothers persuaded together: "Second brother, I will go to Xudu together, and the brothers will gather together to make a career, isn't it beautiful!" ”
Sima Fang also said on the side: "Zhongda." This time, you must listen to me and your eldest brother. Rescue your sixth brother. Let's go right away. ”
Sima Yi is a military advisor, if he nods, Sima's family will properly cross the river to Cao.
However, Sima Yi's face was expressionless, and he did not move for a long time.
"Talk while eating!" Sima Fang waved his hand, "You call your subordinates to eat." ”
When Sima Fu walked outside, a figure outside flashed away.
In the middle of the night, Gao Yuan Mansion.
Gao Yuan came to the front hall sleepily, and when Gao Ya said about the Sima family, he broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly fell asleep, "Sima Yi wants to surrender to the enemy!" ”
On the one hand, he affirmed the work of the special intelligence guard, but on the other hand, he was worried, if Sima Yi surrendered to the enemy, it would be a very heavy blow to him.
Gao Ya said: "Lord, it's better to strike first." This matter will be handed over to his subordinates, and he will promise not to let the Sima family leave alone. ”
Gao Yuan pondered for a moment and shook his head. In his opinion, Sima Yi did not express his position, if Sima Yi did not oppose it, as soon as he made a move, wouldn't it be him forcing Sima Yi to rebel? I can't help but think: "Cao Mengde's trick is poisonous enough!" ”
"Closely monitor the movements of the Sima family and report to me at any time." Gao Yuan said.
On the second day, at noon, Gao Yuan returned listlessly from the military camp outside the city. This morning, he was absent-minded in everything he did. Sima Yi is the pillar of the Gaoyuan army, and if Sima Yi leaves, it is certain that the morale of the army will be hit. In addition, if Sima Yi rebelled and brought Cao Cao over, the matter would be even more serious.
Don't look at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao now that they are "honest", if there is a slight change, they will definitely turn into a vicious wolf in an instant, and they will pounce and bite it.
"Hey~." Gao Yuan, who was riding on a horse, reluctantly greeted the people around him, and said in his heart, who to consult with about this matter? Deng Zhi? Chen Lin? Simbi?
Gao Yuan shook his head, feeling alone.
At this time, there was a loud chant from the street, "Heaven and earth are repeated, and they are on fire." The building will crumble, and it will be difficult to support a single tree. There are virtuous people in the mountains and fields, and they want to vote for the Lord, and the Lord seeks to be virtuous, but they don't know my ....... ”
Gao Yuan was stunned when he heard it, and then his face showed ecstasy, who does this word represent, others don't know, Gao Yuan is very clear. Xu Shu! The most famous person in the Three Kingdoms. In Cao Cao's camp, the only person who saw through Zhou Yu's deception and surrender plan and Pang Tong's serial plan!
"What about people? What about the chanters! Gao Yuan hurriedly dismounted, and when he couldn't see left and right, he became flustered.
Gao Ya, who accompanied him, pointed out: "Lord, isn't it right there!" ”
Gao Yuan hurriedly strode away, and saw a person with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary appearance, standing in the middle of the street, with a sword hanging from his waist to hide his heroic spirit. This must be Xu Shu, Gao Yuan was overjoyed, and when he approached, he suddenly found that his current state was quite inappropriate, so he immediately cleaned up his mind and solemnly bowed his hand, "But this gentleman is singing?" ”
Xu Shu hurriedly returned the salute, "It is in the lower part, in the lower chin of the master, the surname is Fu." I have heard for a long time that the Ming Gong is recruiting talents. So they are like-minded. For fear of making times, he sang in the city to listen to it. ”
When Gao Yuan heard it, he came to vote for himself. Immediately put his mind at ease, and couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart, don't tell me anything about Shan Fu, I will bring your mother in the future, so as not to give Cao Mengde a chance to make ghosts.
So, Gao Yuan took the "Great Army Division to fight the heavens" and returned home. Time. Sima Yi's matter is no longer a matter.
High and far-facing. Gao Yuan invited Xu Shu to sit down, and he couldn't help but be excited, and said, "It's really my honor for Mr. Yuan Zhi to come." ”
Xu Shu was shocked. After being stunned for a while, he said, "Ming...... Ming Gong, how do you know about Xu Shu? ”
There is nothing wrong with Xu Shu hiding this from Uncle Huang, and it is absolutely impossible to hide it from Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan smiled slightly, but did not answer.
Xu Shu was nervous, couldn't guess, and suddenly felt lofty and mysterious.
Gao Yuan stood up and bowed solemnly. said: "It's really a blessing to be able to meet Mr. Yuanzhi. But please help me and report it to the state. Xia An Lishu, a big thing together! ”
Xu Shu hurriedly got up and said, "Since I crossed the Yellow River, I have listened to the song: and the state pastor, General Gao, since you have come here." The people are abundant. "At this point, he bowed to the ground." I am willing to follow the general, and I will never give up! ”
Gao Yuan hurriedly went over to help Xu Shu, this person's loyalty, he knew, so he said: "There is a big matter, I want to ask Mr. to help make a decision." ”
When Xu Shu heard about Sima Yi, his brows furrowed. He originally planned to take the imperial examination first, but after finding that Deng Zhi was reused, he couldn't help but recommend himself. I didn't expect Gao Yuan to take such a fancy to himself and tell him such an important thing.
On the one hand, Xu Shu felt the grace of the encounter, and on the other hand, he felt that this matter was quite tricky.
"My lord, don't worry. Although Sima Zhongda has a certain amount of military power, under the benevolent government of the lord, the soldiers will never follow Sima Zhongda to rebel. Any rebellion should have a purpose and a goal. And what can the soldiers get by following Sima Zhongda to rebel? ”
Xu Shu is Xu Shu, and he analyzes Sima Yi from the root. He saw that Sima Yi had no potential for rebellion.
Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded, but he said a more serious possibility, "I'm afraid that Sima Zhongda won't leave, secretly collaborating with the enemy, and the inside and outside should cooperate." ”
"It's also possible." However, Xu Shu still expressed his opinion, he gave a salute first, and said: "The lord doesn't blame Xu Shu for speaking out. Sima Lang's sudden appearance must have a purpose, and it must be Cao Mengde's discordant plan. And Guan Sima Yi acts rigorously, loyal and conscientious, at this time, we should trust each other. ”
"Discord Meter!" Gao Yuan's mind suddenly opened up a lot. Since ancient times, the authorities have been obsessed, and talents like Xu Shu who are clear in the authorities are what he needs most.
So, on the second day, Gao Yuan convened a meeting of all his subordinates.
At the meeting, Gao Yuan affirmed Sima Yi's achievements all the time and appointed Sima Yi as the lieutenant of Si Li. Although this lieutenant is an unofficial appointment, here in Gao Yuan, he is in charge of the affairs of the three counties, which fully expresses his trust in Sima Yi.
Sima Yi didn't expect that after something like his younger brother, the lord trusted him more. He was very grateful, and he wanted to stop talking several times, and finally returned home with hesitation.
It is said that when Sima Yi returned home, his heart was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, it is the grace of the Lord's knowledge, and on the other hand, it is the affection of flesh and blood.
Before he could sit down, the family rushed into the room, and the men were chased away and the door was shut.
Sima Fang trembled and said, "Zhongda, what do you think?" ”
Sima Yi looked at his father and the brothers, their eyes were very eager, and they had only one thought. But in Sima Yi's heart, he was very conflicted.
"Woo......." Sima Fang cried, "The white-haired man sent the black-haired man!" ”
As soon as the father cried, the other sons wiped their tears.
Sima Lang hurriedly said: "Second brother, with your talent, you will definitely be reused when you go to Cao Gong, and you are still above Gao Mengyan." Why don't you think about my Sima family, do you want to watch my sixth brother being killed, my Sima family being torn apart, and my family being destroyed? ”
"Woo......." The old horse and the other five horses cried so much that they were broken, as if their families were now ruined.
Sima Fang cried: "I don't have a son like you, I want to expel you from the house and cut off the father-son relationship, you don't have to be surnamed Sima in the future!" ”
The brothers also shouted: "There is no such brother! ”
Being evicted from the house is the most serious problem, but you can't be a human being for the rest of your life! Reviled for eternity, infamous through the ages. Sima Yi's face changed greatly, he looked at Sima Lang with a haze in his eyes, and said, "Brother is here for my Sima family?" ”
Sima Lang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said righteously: "Not bad! ”
Sima Yi nodded, his face was resolute, and said, "In this case, we can't leave Hanoi easily. Brother can return to Xudu and inform Cao Gong that my Sima family is willing to dedicate Hanoi to the internal response, thinking that it is the capital to be promoted! ”
When Sima Fang was about to expel Sima Yi from the house, Sima Lang knew that his second brother would definitely give in. He was worried about how Sima Yi would open his mouth and do what he should do after he surrendered. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and said: "If this is the case, Cao Gong's great cause can be accomplished, and my Sima family is the first credit." (To be continued)
