However, Zhuge Liang's words did not seem to be fake, and he was clearly sincere and sincere in his heart-to-heart conversation. At this point, Sima Yi firmly believes that he will not be wrong, because he is very confident in his ability to look at people, and he will definitely not look away.

In a flash of thought, Sima Yi grinned, but it was good that he didn't smile, this smile made Zhuge Liang feel quite weird, as if he didn't smile, and his smile was very cold. But Sima Yi didn't have the consciousness that his smile was very ugly, and chuckled: "The military advisor is flattered by the fact that he is flattered. I don't know if the military advisor can tell the truth, why did he go to the Suzaku Camp three times in five days? You must know that the Vermilion Bird Camp has Guo Jia in charge, and it seems that there is no need for military advisers? This is Sima Yi's test of whether Zhuge Liang is sincere in befriending him. In fact, he has already guessed some clues, and he only needs a little verification to know the reason, but he still knowingly asks.

It was also at this time that Sima Yi suddenly remembered what Li Li had said to him: "It is necessary to ask knowingly." Looking back now, these words are incisive, and they are very consistent with Sima Yi's thoughts at the moment.

Zhuge Liang was surprised when he heard this: "Zhong Da really doesn't know what happened to this? As far as I know, you have been following the lord for more than a year, but you don't know that the lord and Zhang Fei, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, are old enemies? ”

"Uh, that's the case?" Sima Yi was surprised, and then said urgently: "I really haven't heard of it in Xia, and I also ask the military advisor for advice." ”

Zhuge Liang waved his hand lightly and said: "It's not a secret, this matter is not a secret, almost everyone in the army knows about it." As long as Zhongda pays a little attention, he can inquire clearly, since Zhongda still doesn't know, I just want to listen to you. ”

The voice paused. Zhuge Liang had already guessed the reason why Sima Yi had been so lonely and unheard of for more than a year in the General's Mansion, which also confirmed his speculation. For more than a year. Sima Yi has always been excluded from the Xiliang Army, and no one wants to associate with him. The generals in the army turned him away even more, because Sima Yi was still alone until now, and he was completely isolated.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge Liang thought about it and continued: "Zhongda should know that Zhang Fei, Liu Bei of Zhuojun and Guan Yu of Hedong are righteous brothers, and these three people have always lived and died together, advanced and retreated together, and their feelings of righteousness are praised by the world. Sima Yi nodded, but did not interject. Listening to Zhuge Liang's story. Obviously he is a good listener and very patient, and perhaps this is one of the reasons for his success.

"During the Sili War, Liu Bei led tens of thousands of Xuzhou troops to ally with the princes of the Central Plains, and his brother Zhang Fei fought in front of the two armies, and fought with Xu Chu, the general of our army, for more than 100 rounds, and then joined forces with Lu Bu, almost killing Xu Chu. After the defeat of the Allies, if it weren't for General Zhao Yun's memory of the old friendship. The net was opened and he was allowed to escape, and the brothers Liu Bei and Zhang Fei decided that they could not survive. In the battle against Yuan, Liu Bei's three brothers were killed. Zhang Fei fled to Yuzhou alone, and was chased and killed by Huan Fei after learning of his whereabouts, if it wasn't for the lord's timely arrival. I'm afraid that Zhang Fei has already died in Huangquan, and his corpse has been around for a long time. After Zhang Fei was captured. The lord treated him very kindly, and repeatedly persuaded him to surrender. However, this guy doesn't know what is going on, and would rather die than obey.

Then the battle of Jizhou broke out, the lord was not aware of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's tricks for a while, and more than 200,000 troops were all lost in one battle, and even the lord himself was imprisoned and died. Finally rushed out of Yecheng, but unexpectedly encountered Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others ambush when he was about to rush to Huguan, and was in danger. It was a battle, Gongsun Zhan sacrificed his life to take righteousness, the lord was grief-stricken for this, and the generals urged the lord to kill Liu Bei's three brothers to avenge General Gongsun, and use his head to pay tribute to General Gongsun. However, in order to take care of the overall situation, the lord finally left Liu Bei's three brothers, laying the foundation for the subsequent recovery of Xuzhou. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang paused and sighed sincerely: "The lord is the most benevolent monarch I have ever seen, his open-mindedness is unprecedented, and his heart of loving and cherishing talents shines with the sun and the moon!" Since the end of the Battle of Jizhou, the lord repaid his grievances with virtue, and condescended to personally recruit two miracle doctors from the Tai Hospital, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, to treat Liu Bei and Guan Yu's injuries, thus saving Liu Bei's life. Afterwards, regardless of his previous suspicions, the lord gave Liu Bei's three brothers official titles and mansions, and settled their families and clansmen. However, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not appreciate it, and still refused to be loyal to the lord, and only went out with the army during the war, and did not obey the edict at other times. ”

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Sima Yi's face was still unfazed, but deep in his heart he was as turbulent as a stormy wave, deeply impressed by Li Li's open-mindedness, and clearly realized that maybe he misunderstood Li Li, and he did not seek an opportunity to kill himself. Perhaps, after the life and death question and answer of the Shangdang County Guard, Li Li had already put away his murderous intent and decided to let him go Sima Yi, but Sima Yi himself was suspicious by nature, and subconsciously thought that Li Li would not let him go, and had been looking for an opportunity to get rid of him and never suffer in the future.

At this moment, after listening to Zhuge Liang's account of the grievances between Liu Bei's three brothers and Li Li, Sima Yi suddenly found that the grudge between himself and Li Li was nothing at all, and even the hatred between himself and Li Li was far-fetched. After all, his Sima family was destroyed at the hands of the rebels, and it was not only the 3,000 armor soldiers of Teng Xiao's department who entered the Sima Mansion that night, but also more than 2,000 remnants of the princes' allies. Therefore, this great revenge of annihilation cannot all be counted on the head of the Xiliang army, and cannot be imposed on Li Li; Strictly speaking, all the princes who participated in the Sili War had a share, and they all had a grudge against his Sima family. In other words, if there was no Si Li's war, his Sima family would not have suffered, and at most they would have destroyed their wealth and eliminated disasters, and took out a part of the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years and sent it to Li Li, which could turn the danger into a disaster.

Secretly thinking about it, Sima Yi suddenly felt that he was too narrow-minded, too extreme, too complicated in thinking, and too complicated in thinking about simple problems. In fact, for more than a year, he has been by Li Li's side all day long, and he has realized that Li Li is not a big traitor; On the contrary, Li Li is easy-going, lenient and benevolent, does not have a little arrogance on weekdays, treats his soldiers and maids very kindly, treats him Sima Yi with courtesy, never loses his temper, and does not deliberately make things difficult by command.

Subtly, Sima Yi felt that he had lived for more than 20 years, and only this more than one year was the most comfortable and comfortable. It's much easier and more casual than life in your own family. The only fly in the ointment is that he is wary of Li Li everywhere. I'm afraid that Li Li has the wrong nerve and will kill him. It's just that his worries are unnecessary. After such a long time, Li Li neither treated him too favorably, nor made things difficult, as long as he did his part well, everything was fine, and he never received any punishment, but received a lot of rewards. Because he was safe and thoughtful, Li Li successively rewarded him with a three-entry mansion and more than 300 silk horses. and gave him fifty taels of gold, so that he could settle his family, and also sent him ten armor soldiers to serve as personal soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Li sent him to serve under Zhuge Liang's account, he was faintly disappointed in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it, but comforted himself: "Finally out of the tiger's mouth." Since then, the sea has leaped by leaping with fish. The sky is high and the birds are flying, and I, Sima Yi, will be able to get ahead sooner or later and do something vigorous! ”

It wasn't until this moment that Sima Yi woke up. clearly realized that he was indeed very reluctant to leave the General's Mansion, and the reason why he wanted to do something big was actually to prove it to Li Li. He Sima Yi is by no means a mediocre talent, and sooner or later he will do something big for Li Li to see. Let him regret that it was a bad decision to drive himself away. At first glance, Sima Yi looks like a resentful woman. But Li Li and him are not backshit, but a friendship formed after a long time together. Although they are reluctant to admit this friendship to each other, it is real, after all, people are emotional animals, and if there is no friendship after getting along for more than a year, it can only mean that they are all cozy with each other, and they are extremely selfish people in their bones, no different from cold-blooded animals.

Extraordinary people must have something extraordinary, and their open-mindedness and self-reflection ability are definitely far beyond ordinary people, otherwise he will not be able to achieve success in his life. Sima Yi is recognized by later generations as an extraordinary person.

After being silent for a long time, Sima Yi stretched out his hand to pour Zhuge Liang a cup of tea, and said frankly in a low voice: "Listening to the words of the military advisor, I feel a lot of feelings. The lord's mind of repaying grievances with virtue has also heard of it before he went down, but he does not believe it to be true. However, hearing is false and seeing is believing, this time Zhang Feirong was promoted to lieutenant general, so that Zai Xia really believed that the rumors were true, and the lord was indeed the lord of the world. Just ??????" After wanting to speak and stopping, Sima Yi's face showed a rare look of embarrassment, a little difficult to speak, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Zhuge Liang was born with a seven-trick and exquisite heart, and his mind was quick, and he immediately said: "Brother Zhongda wants to say that your Sima family has a family feud with the lord, right?" I already know about this matter, so let's not talk about which is right and which is wrong, just that in this troubled world, which family can stand alone and stay out of the troubled times? Your Sima family is a century-old family, even if the lord does not take the subordinate, the other princes will not let go of this hinterland of the Central Plains, and your Sima family will be suppressed no matter which way the princes are attached to it, and the family will be scattered at best, and the family will be ruined. In troubled times, the princes need countless money and grain to recruit troops and horses and strengthen their strength, and a century-old family like you is undoubtedly the most conspicuous stake, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the target of the public.

Therefore, some things will come sooner or later, and they can't be avoided after all. I deeply sympathize with what happened to your Sima family, and I don't want to ask more about what Brother Zhongda thinks of this matter and how he plans to act in the future. But as a colleague who works together, I would like to advise Brother Zhongda that doing it knowing that it cannot be done is tantamount to self-destruction, and it is absolutely undesirable, and the wise man does not do it. Zhong Da is a wise man in the world, thoughtful, and I don't need to say more about which is more important. What I can say is that the current situation is very serious, and the situation in the world will change greatly after the lord ascends the throne, and then it will be the time for you and me to make great achievements. Only by taking this opportunity to accumulate enough military merits can Brother Zhongda have the capital to be in charge in the future, otherwise it will be impossible for him to get the opportunity to take charge of the army in his life. Brother Zhong Da should know that our army is full of talents, strategists are like rain, generals are like clouds, and there is never a shortage of generals who can fight well, so if you want to stand out from it, you need to make efforts far beyond others. At this point, I hope that Brother Zhongda will cherish it, and must not delay the future of his life because of a moment of personal anger. ”

"Kong Ming's good words, the foolish brother will remember it in his heart, and he will definitely repay him in the future." After some heart-to-heart exchanges, Sima Yi finally relented. A pair of enemies in the past turned enemies into friends, and it is foreseeable that they can be seen fighting hand in hand on the future journey, like two generals who complement each other.
