In the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, the forbidden army rescued Fancheng and surrendered on the spot, and the deputy general Pang De was defeated. Cao Cao's head illness was not cured, so he had to order Xu Huang to lead the army to support, and he also led the army to enter the southern Lingpo of Luoyang. Xu Huang won the first battle, but not long after he was defeated by Zhao Shu and retreated to Fancheng. Cao Cao was treated by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and his head was cured, so he personally led an army of 200,000 to the south, claiming to avenge Pang De and Xu Huang.

Sima Yi stood on the wall of Wancheng, looking in the direction of Luoyang, holding the edict of King Wei he had just received. "Teacher." A heroic young man in his twenties behind him saw Sima Yi's face heavy, and asked in a low voice, "What does the edict of King Wei say?" ”

"Shizai." Sima Yi sighed and said, "The edict of the King of Wei said that the army will arrive in Wancheng in the near future, let me go to meet it." ”

This young man is Sima Yishou's proud protégé, Deng Ai, a native of Yiyang, who is less lonely, raises calves for others, stutters, and is not allowed to do anything. Every time I see the mountains and rivers, I refer to the barracks and the premises, and people laugh a lot. Only Sima Yi saw it, accepted it under the door, treated him as a confidant, and consulted with him whenever there was a major event.

Deng Ai listened to Sima Yi's words, and saw that there were confidants on the left and right, so he said: "In the humble opinion of the students, the King of Wei raised troops this time, probably not only for Jingzhou." ”

A sneer rose at the corner of Sima Yi's mouth, and said: "Yes, King Wei is old, he fought at a young age, and now he is often sick, and before he goes, he always wants to leave a solid foundation for his son." ”

Deng Ai was a little worried: "Wancheng soldiers and horses are claimed to be 100,000, but in fact they are 70,000, although they are very obedient on the surface, but the King of Wei is powerful, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not defect to the battle." ”

"I killed Xu Shu and monopolized Wancheng for a long time, the King of Wei has never touched me, and he himself is afraid that he will miss a blow, but Wu Shu will take the opportunity to enter." Sima Yi glanced at the edict in his hand again, and then said: "This time, we will unite with Eastern Wu and attack Jingzhou. And what King Wei wants most is probably to get rid of me. ”

Deng Ai pondered for a moment, and said: "In the opinion of the students, the war in Jingzhou is uncertain, and the King of Wei does not dare to forcibly seize the power of the teacher. As for greeting the King of Wei, the teacher can be said to be sick, and the student and uncle are willing to go on behalf of the teacher. ”

"Yes." Sima Yi nodded and said, "For the time being, I can only call myself sick, Wancheng has 70,000 soldiers and horses, and there is enough grain and grass, so I don't think King Wei will dare to move lightly." ”

Within a few days, Cao Cao's army arrived to the east of Wancheng, and Sima Yi led soldiers, horses, grain and grass to greet him. Sima Yi handed the text to his brother Sima Fu and said with a smile: "King Wei really can't tolerate me." ”

Sima Fu took the text, took a cursory look, and said with a smile: "According to what Shizai said, the younger brother went to greet the elder brother." ”

"Shizai." Sima Yi summoned Deng Ai and said, "You will also go together, so you will act according to the agreed plan and see the opportunity." ”

"Yes." Deng Ai hugged his fists and agreed. Sima Lang also got up and said, "Without further ado, the junior brother will go with Shizai." Sima Yi was going to send him off, but Deng Ai said: "The teacher stays, the envoy of the King of Wei is still in the front hall, and since the teacher is sick, it is not appropriate to see each other." Only then did he come out with Sima Fu, and together with Cao Cao's envoy, Sima Yi was sick in bed and couldn't drive with him. It was taken by his brother Sima Fu on behalf of his brother.

Because Sima Yi was sick, the Wancheng army and horses were not allowed to be mobilized, and Sima Fu and Deng Ai only brought a thing that should be used by the labor army, but did not bring soldiers and horses. When it came to Cao Cao's Chinese army camp, the envoy first entered the interior to report it, and with Cao Cao's permission, the two entered the account together.

Although Cao Cao was old at this time, his spirit was very good, and a pair of tiger eyes were looking forward to Gu Shengwei, and when he saw the two of them kneeling down and saluting, he said: "Get up, give me a seat." ”

Sima Fu bowed again and sat down at the end, while Deng Ai stood behind. There are already several people sitting in the tent, Cao Cao is in the middle of the handsome seat, the first seat on the left hand, the face is majestic, but the expression is very humble, it is the prince Cao Pi, and there are Jia Xu and other strategists sitting below. The seat on the right hand is Cao Cao's second son, Cao Zhang, who is a rare tiger general, who broke Wuhuan and pacified the northern border, and sat Xiahou Dun and other military generals under it.

As soon as Sima Fu sat down, Cao Cao asked, "How is Zhongda's condition?" I'm very worried. ”

Sima Fu hurriedly got up again and said respectfully: "Brother is cheap, don't dare to worry about the king." ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Zhongda guards Wancheng, with 100,000 soldiers under his command, and now he is still sick, how can he not let the king worry?" Even some are very worried. A pun on the word, implicitly accusing Sima Yi.

Sima Fu could only pretend not to understand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Wang, Mr. cares." My brother was sick in bed, and he couldn't come to accompany the king, and whenever he mentioned that Mr. could serve the king, and listened to the king's teachings day and night, his heart was full of envy. ”

"Haha." Jia Xu laughed a few times and said, "In this case, why don't you let Zhongda go back to Xudu to recuperate, how about a certain Wancheng for him for a few days temporarily?" “

Sima Fu said: "Although my brother is sick, he does not dare to forget his official duties, and he deals with official affairs every day with illness, as he often says: 'If you are not dead, you dare not forget the kindness of the king, and one day in your life, you will guard Nanyang for the king to prevent Guan Yu from going north'." "The implication is that you want my eldest brother to leave Wancheng, hand over the military power, and wait until he is dead.

Jia Xu's face changed, and he was about to speak again, but he heard Cao Cao say: "I know that Zhongda is loyal and righteous, and Gu will definitely be rewarded for his good life, but his body is still important, and he needs to stay for Gu for a few more years." Guguan Shuda is also quite talented, so let's listen to it with the army. ”

Sima Fu was secretly happy, and he was in the middle of it, but he said: "King Meng is loved, but my brother is sick, and his subordinates want to go back to serve him." ”

"Not necessarily." Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Lone has recently suffered another head illness, and there is an imperial doctor in the camp, and Shaoting sent two people to take a look at Zhongda." ”

Sima Fu hurriedly bowed to the ground and said gratefully: "The subordinate brother Xie Wang is kind." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Shu Da has worked hard from afar, go down to rest first, and he is tired of being alone." Sima Fu kowtowed again, and then got up to go out of the account with Deng Ai, and naturally someone arranged a place for the two of them to live.

Cao Cao waited for Sima Fu to come out of the account before he said slowly: "Sima Yi is ambitious, and he dares to call himself sick. Lone really regrets it. ”

"Father don't have to worry." Cao Zhang got up and said, "The boy will take someone to rush into the city and take his head to see his father." ”

"Nonsense." Cao Cao frowned, and shouted in a low voice: "Sima Yi is quite strategic, good at using soldiers, how can he not be on guard when he hears that the Gu army is coming?" There are nearly 100,000 people in Wancheng, how can you break it in one fell swoop? If you don't hit it down, you will let Wu Shu have a chance. You have to change your temperament. ”

Cao Zhang touched a nail, his face was displeased, and he reluctantly said: "The child knows, thank your father for his teachings." ”

Cao Cao didn't care about him anymore, and asked Jia Xu again: "What does Mr. think?"
