"Click......

"Click......

In the deep valley, the sound of shoveling came from the shadows that the moonlight did not shine, and in the silence of the night, the sound sounded a chill.

"Alas......"

The shovel was a little tired, Sima Yi sighed with the shovel, he hammered his waist, and skimmed not far away by the way.

Not far away, in the shadows that the moonlight could not shine on, there was a somewhat simple grass hut, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao sat cross-legged in it quite reluctantly, and beside the two of them, several skulls floated quietly, and a steady stream of purple mist poured out of the mouth of the skull to drown the two brothers. And the faces of the two seemed to be stained by the dense purple mist, dyed with a few touches of light purple.

"It's really worry-free."

The young old father shook his head, he subconsciously touched his chin, but inadvertently touched the blister in his palm, and a tingling pain came, and he couldn't help frowning. Looking at the shovel stuck in the ground, and then at the two cheap sons not far away, he thought about it, and slowly walked to the two and sat down.

"Father."

Feeling Sima Yi coming, the two brothers stopped absorbing the purple mist together, opened their eyes and bowed slightly.

"Don't worry about me, you concentrate on cultivation, and you can listen to my words."

"Yes."

The two brothers answered, Sima Zhao immediately closed his eyes obediently, but Sima Shi lowered his eyebrows at Sima Yi, looking attentive to teaching, until Sima Yi waved his hand again, he honestly closed his eyes.

"You two come out this time, it's right to deal with Zhou Ping, even if you meet a character like Hua Tuo, I guess I won't make a better response than you, but what I want to say is that you deal with Gongsun Yuan."

"It is true that Gongsun Yuan instigated Zhang Yan to attack Yuan Shao, which is a variable created by him, but if there were no you, this matter would be nothing more than two results, either Yuan Shaosheng and Zhang Yan hibernate again, at best, what should have happened a year or two in advance; Either Zhang Yansheng, but even if Zhang Yansheng is victorious, he doesn't have the strength to completely defeat Yuan Shao, at most, he will occupy Leping, a small city that is dispensable to Yuan Shao, and it will still not affect the overall situation. ”

"But as soon as you get involved, even if your intention is to correct the Heavenly Dao, this kind of behavior is also a kind of interference with the Heavenly Dao - as a result, you have also seen that Zhang Yan died, and most of the merged states became borderless land again, then Gongsun Yuan definitely did not have the ability to eat it, he would occupy one or two counties at most, and in the end, the biggest profit would be Yuan Shao."

"There are many military horses in the state, then Yuan Shao occupies the horse farm, and the strength will definitely rise a lot, and it may even affect the Guandu War in a few years, if Cao Cao is defeated in Guandu, then there is nowhere to talk about the future Wei Dynasty and Jin......"

The two brothers listened silently, and when they heard this, they opened their eyes together, stunned, dignified, and self-blaming, all kinds of emotions flashed in their eyes one by one, Sima Yi saw it in his eyes, and also felt that what he said was a little too evil, and turned his head to comfort.

"But you are not in vain, as soon as Zhang Yan dies, then Gongsun Yuan's Wind and Thunder Camp will be less conspicuous in the eyes of the world, and the possibility of other princes following suit will be greatly reduced, but it will give us more opportunities to balance and prepare in secret, which is also an opportunity to make amends."

"And the two of you also have my share of the mistakes made this time, in fact, I also recently got the skull of the First Emperor, and I realized it after further refining my comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, you don't have to blame yourself too much, if I had two more words of advice at that time, maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Hearing Sima Yi say this, it was Sima Zhao who grinned, he leaned back slightly, scratched his head and smiled.

"Dad, you're right to say that, I think it's a bit unreasonable that you didn't tell us what to do and what not to do before, and now you teach us this lesson."

“……”

When the words fell, Sima Yi, who originally wanted to say something, suddenly fell silent, he glanced at Sima Zhao, and looked at Sima Shi silently.

"Dig into the ground."

Sima Shi's voice didn't fluctuate.

"Huh?"

"If you are told to dig the ground, you will go!"

"But...... Father! I'm not healed from my back injury! ”

The eldest brother couldn't make sense, so Sima Zhao chose to find his father.

"Who cares about you!"

A skull that was originally spewing purple mist flew up and hit Sima Zhao's head hard.

“…… The Battle of Changping was hundreds of years ago, and when did the battlefield ruins have to be dug up......"

Despite the muttering, Sima Zhao still did it honestly.

……

The same night, the same grass hut, compared to the calmness of the Sima family after the event, the other family that stirred up the storm in the future was gloomy and bleak at this time.

"It's been a year......"

Watching his younger brother who was wearing linen and filial piety wakes up lightly at night with a candlestick, Sun Ce, who couldn't sleep, sighed lightly.

It has been a year since their father Sun Jian died, and Sun Ce, the burden of the family, has also been carried for a year. The days of filial piety are not easy, and he has to take care of his mother and young brother who wash his face with tears all day long, and he has to bargain with the greedy Yuan Shu outside to protect the inheritance left by the family or father. All this is really not an easy thing for Sun Ce, who is only eighteen years old.

"I don't know how my sister is doing......"

Looking at the moon outside the grass house, Sun Ce sighed a little wistfully.

After Sun Jian's death, his retainers and subordinates were taken care of by Yuan Shu. said that it was taken care of, but everyone knew that it was actually no different from embezzlement, and his sister Sun Ping was naturally taken under Yuan Shu as a general. However, Yuan Shu didn't seem to completely treat Sun Ping as a martial artist, but regarded her more as a woman, not only did not require her to participate in military drills, but also often gave jewelry and silk on weekdays.

But after all, it is a famous and orthodox family, Yuan Shu still has to be more or less faced, there is a relationship between keeping filial piety for his father, and Yuan Shu only sends some benefits to Sun Ping, although his inner thoughts are known to anyone with a discerning eye, but he also does not pick on the bright side.

"I hope my sister can escape that fate......"

Sun Ce thought like this, and Yu Guang caught his younger brother Sun Quan coming back at night, so he shut his mouth and didn't let Sun Quan hear about these things.

But immediately, he spoke again.

"Who are you!?"

But I saw my younger brother Sun Quan's side, there was a not very tall figure standing, and by the candlelight, I could see that the man was a man, about the same age as him, not handsome, but at first glance, he was not an idle person.

"Brother, don't worry, he's here to help us!"

Seeing that Sun Ce's body was burning with fiery true qi, Sun Quan hurriedly persuaded.

"In Xia Lu Kang, I have seen two sons."

The young man who called himself Lu Kang arched his hand, his eyebrows were full of smiles.
