Chapter 665: Preventing Future Troubles
When Xu Rong arrived at the gate of the camp, he happened to meet Zhuge Liang, as a military advisor, Zhuge Liang was naturally busy, and he had to ask about everything in the camp one by one, no matter how big or small, when he saw Xu Rong coming in a hurry, he asked what was the matter.
Xu Rong bowed his hand and said, "The last general captured Sima Yi and was about to take him to see the lord." ”
Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi behind Xu Rong, and saw that Sima Yi's beard and hair were all burned, and his cloak was only half burned, with a wolf-like face, tightly tied with ropes. Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "I have heard the name of Sima Zhongda for a long time, and I have to meet today, and I am fortunate to meet you." ”
Sima Yi glanced at Zhuge Liang of the feather fan scarf, and sneered: "Since a certain person is a prisoner, he will be killed and left to listen to him." ”
Xu Rong was about to reprimand him, Zhuge Liang smiled, stretched out a feather fan to stop him, and said to Sima Yi: "How can a hero be judged by success or failure for a while." Liang Mugong's name has been around for a long time, after the prince is an important minister of the Han family, he has been loyal and good for generations, and Cao Cao has usurped the heart of the Han for a long time. Now King Jing is crusading against thieves and rebelling, reviving the Han Dynasty, and doing it is a dignified and righteous teacher, why don't the public abandon the darkness and turn to the light and support the Han Dynasty? ”
Sima Yi was stunned and silent.
Zhuge Liang didn't force him anymore, and motioned to Xu Rong to take Sima Yi to see Liu Ze.
Entering the king's tent, Liu Ze was reading the documents there, Xu Rong stepped forward and said: "Lord Qi, Sima Yi has been captured by the last general and has been brought to the tent." ”
Liu Ze put down his pen and said, "Oh, bring it up." ”
Suddenly, Sima Yi was taken to the tent, Liu Ze was ordered to loosen the tie, Sima Yi glanced at Liu Ze, arrogant and silent.
Xu Rong said angrily: "Bold, in front of King Jing's tent, you are allowed to be so rampant?" ”
Liu Ze waved his hand. Motioning for Xu Rong to retreat, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that Sima Dudu is not convinced?" ”
Sima Yi sneered and said: "A certain is just a moment of carelessness, Zhong'er tricks, only to be captured, if a certain is greeted by the right way, the land of Longxi." I'm afraid I won't be able to touch half an inch! Even if you die here today, I'm afraid that Your Excellency may not be satisfied! ”
Liu Ze's face sank suddenly, and said: "Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, soldiers are treacherous, you are familiar with military books, you don't even know this sentence, right?" Since you are not convinced, then I will let you go back and decide again? ”
"Is that true?" Sima Yi looked at Liu Ze suspiciously.
Liu Ze laughed. Said coldly: "Of course it's fake!" Sima Yi, an opponent like you is indeed difficult enough, do you think this king will really give you another chance? One thought of heaven, one thought of hell, since your feet have already stepped into the ghost gate, if you want to go back, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”
Sima Yi's face suddenly turned pale. He understood that this was Liu Ze deliberately playing tricks on him. However, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and as a prisoner, he naturally has no room for resistance. "The life and death of Yi is determined by Your Excellency, and if you want to kill, you must listen to your respect."
Liu Ze's face calmed down, and he waved his hand: "Push Sima Yi out of the gate and behead the public!" ”
Xu Rong was slightly stunned, Liu Ze's decision was obviously unexpected. Except for Lu Bu, Liu Ze has never executed prisoners of war, strictly speaking, Lu Bu is just a rebel, not a prisoner of war. Moreover, the Jing army has strict military regulations, which stipulate that prisoners must not be tortured and killed, and Liu Ze's decision is obviously contrary to the military order. Xu Rong glanced at Liu Ze, Liu Ze's expression was firm and resolute, it was by no means a moment of anger, Xu Rong took the order and ordered Sima Yi to be escorted down.
Sima Yi was also stunned, just outside the tent, Zhuge Liang's words obviously meant to surrender, Sima Yi still wanted to be reserved, ignored Zhuge Liang, and thought that after seeing Liu Ze, he would have to bargain, we are celebrities, celebrities naturally have the arrogance of celebrities, and it is not too difficult to want me to surrender, as long as Liu Ze can be a corporal, Sima Yi is still willing to surrender, he has not yet reached the part of Cao Cao's loyalty to death. But as soon as he entered the big tent, Liu Ze said that he would turn his face, and he didn't even have a word of persuasion, so he pushed him out of the gate and beheaded him, how not to let Sima Yi be disappointed, he didn't know how to offend Liu Ze, so deep hatred, he wanted to kill him and then quickly.
As soon as he arrived at Yuanmen, he bumped into Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was shocked and asked why, Xu Rong told the truth, Zhuge Liang asked Xu Rong to suspend the execution, and hurried into the account to see Liu Ze.
"Why did the lord want to kill Sima Yi?" As soon as they met, Zhuge Liang asked.
Liu Ze put down his pen and said indifferently: "Since Sima Yi is Cao Cao's general, it is useless to keep it, it is better to kill him to prevent future troubles." ”
Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, Liu Ze's words were clearly a little insincere, thinking that Zhang Renning would not surrender at the beginning, Liu Ze was painstaking, according to his ability, this Sima Yi was by no means under Zhang Ren, obviously very contrary to Liu Ze's principles of life, Zhuge Liang couldn't guess what Liu Ze thought in his heart. "Sima Zhongda is bright and clear, Yingte has just broken, he is a rare genius in the world, I also tested his tone just now, and he does have the intention of surrendering, why not keep it."
Liu Ze secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he can't tell Zhuge Liang, this Sima Yi is a disaster, the terminator of the Three Kingdoms in history, although the trajectory of history has quietly changed, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms may not happen again, but Sima Yi is a first-class careerist, as long as he has power, he may not do anything to usurp it. In history, Cao Cao, Cao Pi and even Cao Yi were able to suppress Sima Yi when they were in power, but after the death of these big bosses, Sima Yi was powerful all over the world, laying a solid foundation for his descendants to usurp the throne, this kind of "talent", does Liu Ze dare to use it? Liu Ze can control the situation now and even in the next few decades, but it does not mean that he can protect the Han family for thousands of generations, a good minister like Zhuge Liang who has done his best to die is the more the merrier, and a second minister like Sima Yi who has a backbone is absolutely unretained.
"Sima Yi looks at the wolf Gu, people with this face are all people with unscrupulous skills, and it will be a disaster if they stay for a long time. This king is able to drive the famous generals like clouds, and why not send him one, raising tigers will eventually be troubled, I can't take this risk. ”
Zhuge Liang was stunned, when did Liu Ze become a master of face-to-face, this is unheard of, but since Liu Ze has made a decision, Zhuge Liang is not good at saying anything.
Not long after, the Chinese army had already dedicated Sima Yi's head to the account. Liu Ze glanced at it, and couldn't help but sigh a little, and ordered Sima Yi to be buried thickly.
"Why would the lord conclude that there will be heavy rain today, if it weren't for the lord building an embankment behind the gourd valley to store water, the fire attack plan would inevitably fail." Zhuge Liang has a lot of research on celestial phenomena, but he didn't calculate that there would be heavy rain in the Hulu Valley area today, and Liu Ze made such preparations a few days in advance, which made Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and he was puzzled.
Liu Ze smiled slightly, no matter how good Zhuge Liang is, it is impossible to master the knowledge of modern meteorology. The entrance of the Hulu Valley is narrow, the hinterland is wide, the sides are high, and the middle is low, which is not conducive to air circulation. Once a fire breaks out in the valley, the temperature begins to rise, and the air close to the ground rapidly expands and rises, and the cold air in and around the upper layer shrinks and sinks, forming a strong convective valley wind, so the phenomenon of strong winds appears. When a large amount of hot air at the bottom of the valley rises to a certain height, the water vapor in the air condenses into clouds due to the decrease in temperature, and a large amount of smoke and dust generated by the burning of firewood and grass rises to the sky with the air, which provides an ideal condensation nucleus for the condensation of water vapor, thereby accelerating the condensation of water vapor. The small water droplets in these clouds collide and merge with each other, and the volume will gradually increase, eventually leading to heavy rainfall.
According to normal weather, it will never rain today, and the reason why it rained heavily was precisely because of this fire in Hulu Valley. The causal relationship between this cannot be explained clearly in one sentence or two. Liu Ze had no choice but to say: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and I am just taking precautions, as for whether it will rain today, how can I calculate it clearly, just by chance." ”
Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "The Lord judges the enemy's first opportunity, strategizes, skillfully understands the heavenly opportunity, is good at judging yin and yang, and is ashamed of himself." ”
"The military advisor praised it falsely, it just happened, it just happened." Liu Ze said with a smile, and suddenly he remembered something and secretly screamed: "It's not good-" (to be continued......)
