Chapter 110: The Sima Family
After breakfast, Yuan bought it to the East Courtyard to meet Cai Yan, exchanged a few words, and then left the mansion.
This trip can be described as extremely important, because Yuan Mai plans to visit Sima Yi. This is a super heavyweight figure in the entire Three Kingdoms period, and it is no exaggeration to say that Sima Yi's weight definitely exceeds that of anyone else Yuan Mai has met since he came to this era.
This is a generation of heroes who picked up a big bargain and left the world to their children and grandchildren, in terms of treachery, this guy is not under Cao A's secret!
It's just that although Yuan Mai vaguely remembered Sima Yi's ancestral home in Hanoi, the specific address was not clear, so he handed over the matter to Tian Chou to investigate. Unexpectedly, Tian Chou just asked casually, and he inquired about the location of Sima's family, and it didn't take much effort to get there.
Sima Yi's grandfather Sima Jun once worshiped Yingchuan Taishou, and several of his sons were also officials in the imperial court.
When Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Sima Fang saw that the world was rising together, and knew that Luoyang was a place of war and could not live for a long time, so he ordered his eldest son Sima Lang to take the rest of his sons back to his hometown for refuge. Sima Lang took his father's order and returned to his hometown Wenxian with a few brothers. It's just that I didn't think about it, but I was secretly remembered.
When Yuan Mai walked out of the mansion, he found that Tian Chou, who was dressed in Confucian clothes, was already waiting in front of the door with a horse, so he nodded and asked, "Tian Zitai has found out the specific whereabouts of the Sima family!" ”
"Exactly, Sima's family lives in the county seat of Wenxian, only sixty miles away from Huaixian. Hurry up, and you can arrive in an hour and a half. Tian Chou Shili replied.
"Good!" Yuan Mai nodded, if he could find the residence of the Sima family, there was a chance that he would be able to find Sima Zhongda, the minister of wolf care, and asked, "But there is a person named Sima Yi?" ”
Tian Chou nodded: "There is indeed this person, it is the second son of Sima Fang of Xingyang today, his grandfather Sima Jun once worshiped Yingchuan Taishou, and the Sima family is also one of the few famous families in Wen County." Sima Yi is ranked second, the word Zhongda, and there are six brothers below! ”
"What? And six brothers? ”
Yuan Mai was startled, and vaguely remembered that Sima Yi was second. And the word Zhongda also comes from this. But nothing is known about the fact that the eight brothers of the Sima family were later called "Sima Bada". Yuan Mai only remembered that Sima Yi's brothers included two guys named Sima Lang and Sima Fu, who could also be regarded as usable talents. I don't know about the rest.
Of course, at this time, Sima Lang, the eldest of the eight Sima brothers, was only twenty-one years old, the second Sima Yi was nineteen years old, and the third Sima Lang was eighteen years old. The fourth Sima Kui is sixteen years old. The fifth Sima is fifteen years old. The three little ones below are not yet adults, so they don't have a table word, and of course they don't have the title of Sima Bada. The emergence of this name was delayed until ten years later.
"Yes, Sima Fang does have eight sons, all of whom live in Wen County!" Tian Chou replied respectfully.
"Haha...... God help me! The land of the Central Plains is really the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, no wonder he Cao Apu can achieve great things! Yuan Mai couldn't restrain his excitement and opened his mouth to say this. Oh, this is really excellent, the eight Sima brothers are here, and now they can make dumplings!
"What? What is Cao A's great cause? Tian Chou asked a little inexplicably, I don't understand why Childe suddenly came to say this?
Yuan Mai felt that he had lost his words, and the city government was still not deep enough, so he hurriedly put away his excited face, and said: "I mean Hanoi is full of talents, if it is occupied by Cao Cao, I am afraid it will be even more of a tiger relic." ”
Then he waved his hand and instructed Zhou Cang: "Go to the barracks and order five hundred cavalry, and follow me to Wen County immediately!" ”
"No!" Zhou Cang agreed, turned on his horse, and galloped to the military camp outside the city in advance.
Listening to Yuan Mai's instructions, Tian Chou was quite surprised, and asked puzzledly: "Son, didn't you say that several young people of the Sima family are all pillars of talent?" If you want to recruit them, you should be a corporal. Chou changed his Confucian costume and was about to accompany his son to persuade Brother Sima to come out, why did he lead troops instead? I'm afraid it's going to backfire! Please also ask the son to think twice, you and I can ride lightly, and bring three or five entourage. ”
Yuan Maixin said, you only know one and don't know the other, although the Sima brothers are all usable talents, but the other seven tied together may not be able to catch up with half of Sima Yi, the most important purpose of my visit to Sima's house this time is to recruit this genius, treacherous and resourceful hero.
It's just that this guy is too difficult, Cao Cao's Guandu won a complete victory, and his power was in full swing, so he sent someone to invite him to come out, but this guy couldn't pretend to be sick, and he just didn't fancy Cao Cao in his bones. It was only later that Cao Cao pacified the north, Sima Yi had no choice, and Cao Cao sent someone to intimidate him, so Sima Yi was forced to agree to be an official. This guy can't even look down on Cao Cao, let alone the "second generation of officials" who can't even be regarded as a mere guard!
Yuan Mai believes that during the entire Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi is definitely an important figure who can be ranked in the top five. Cao Cao's generation of traitorous males, on the horse can lead the army, the horizontal lance can be endowed, the horse can govern the country, for the descendants to lay the foundation of the Great Wei, in the end it is still a Sima family to make a wedding dress, was picked up by Sima Yi's children and grandchildren, and finally became a great cause of unification.
It can be seen from this that Sima Yi's city government is so deep and how treacherous his resourcefulness is, such a genius must do everything he can to collect it at all costs and by all means!
Zhuge Kongming worked hard in Bashu, with a talent that has passed through the heavens and latitudes, and was even boasted by later generations of people as "more intelligent than a demon", but the six out of Qishan failed to establish an inch of merit, just because he met Sima Yi, a terrible opponent. Yuan Mai didn't think that he had a chance to recruit characters who were better than Zhuge Kongming.
Since this is the case, then in the face of a terrible person like Sima Zhongda, there are only two choices, the first is to use it; Second, let him disappear from the world!
If you want to achieve the cause of the king, you should kill decisively, and if you can't take it as a use, get rid of him, this is the right choice for the hero. If you know that this guy may become a terrifying competitor, and you can't recruit it, and let it go, that is undoubtedly a stupid decision, let alone compete for world dominance in the future!
So from the very beginning, when he thought of Sima Yi, the only thought in Yuan Mai's heart was to get rid of him sooner or later!
Sooner or later, Sima Yi must die in front of him. If he can take it, he will use his talents to fight the world for himself and let him live for a few more decades. Sima Yi is the same age as himself, if his lifespan is not as long as his, then I'm sorry, before I die, I have to get rid of you first. You'll have to bury me sooner or later, no matter how much credit you make! I can't leave a potential danger to my descendants like Cao Cao.
If you can't take it, then I'm even more sorry, you have to die now. Whether it's poisoning, assassination, or even killing openly at any cost, wipe this guy out of the world! Even if the reputation is affected, it will not hesitate.
Although their Sima family is a famous family, this is only compared to ordinary families. His grandfather Sima Jun only did Yingchuan Taishou, and his father Sima Fang only did Luoyang Ling and Henan Yin level, which was placed at the level of mayor and county party secretary in later generations, and the family was a famous family compared to ordinary people, but in front of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, their Sima family was a scum!
Our old Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third duke, and before the crossing, these three elders are all constant. Commission-level figures. And the cheap daddy Yuan Benchu was even more incredible, with 300,000 armor, he controlled one-fifth of China's land; In the spring of this year, Cao Cao was even more pressured to confer the position of "great general" in the name of the Son of Heaven, which is equivalent to the army in later generations. At the level of the vice chairman of the committee, in front of our old Yuan family, your Sima family dares to call yourself a famous family?
I will destroy your whole family, and how many people will dare to stand up for you? At most, it was just a scolding. As long as you have the strength, who likes to scold casually! He Cao Mengde slaughtered Xuzhou several times, and the blood of the killing flowed like a river, Surabaya was blocked by it, and the world was scolded. Aren't heroes from all walks of life still coming to vote? That's strength!
Of course, this is only the last step that has no choice, and Yuan Mai still doesn't want to kill Sima Yi until he has to. After all, now is the time to employ people, and being able to get the assistance of a genius like Sima Yi will inevitably be like a tiger.
It's just that Yuan Mai really has a headache about how to recover Sima Yi. What kind of people you have to deal with, what kind of means you have to use, Sima Yi's treacherous people are not loyal people like Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao, you use Corporal Liu Bei Lixian, acting coyly, and smashing children to buy people's hearts to deal with him, it is useless.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Yuan Mai decided to follow Cao Cao's example, first use force to get him to Hanoi, slowly subdue him, and in the end, if it really can't be done, he will send him to the Western Heaven Elysium to learn the scriptures. Anyway, this trip to Wenxian County, you must bring back Sima Yi's people, and if you can't bring people back, you will bring them back!
After listening to Tian Chou's question, Yuan Mai smiled slightly: "Hanoi is at the beginning of peace, and the people's hearts are not attached. There are often white waves and grass recklessly, so it's better to be careful. Therefore, I brought soldiers to escort me, especially when I was attacked in Mayi, I almost lost my life, so I had to guard against it! ”
"What Childe said is very true, but it is careless." Tian Chou bowed and saluted.
"Hanoi Chuping, Mr. Yuan Hao is busy with government affairs, Zitai will stay to help him deal with government affairs, I can go to Wen County by myself, there is no need to work hard."
Yuan Mai turned over and got on his horse and told Tian Chou not to follow him. If you really turn your face with the Sima clan, your own iron-blooded methods should try not to let these guys who respect Confucianism and Taoism see it with their own eyes!
"In that case, I will send off my son!" Tian Chou nodded in agreement and hugged his wrist to send it off.
"Driving" Yuan Mai whipped on the horse, took a dozen guards, went out of the city to meet Zhoucang, and then went straight to Wen County, sixty miles away, to visit the Sima brothers. (To be continued......)
