Chapter Seventy-Three: Sima Yi's Father and Son
Zhang Meng saw it, put his hands together, pinched the back of a dog's neck with one hand, gently lifted the two vicious dogs into the air, looked at the two guys and said, "What a cute family dog!" ”
It turned out that when the old man guarding the door went in, he forgot to close the door, which released these two vicious dogs, if Zhang Meng was a layman, he would have to be torn apart by them.
Hearing the barking of the dog, a middle-aged strong man came out of the door, while walking towards this side, while scolding the two vicious dogs, looked at the front of him, and smiled at Zhang Meng: "I'm sorry, the doorman forgot to close the door and released this beast, didn't hurt you, right?" ”
When Zhang Meng looked at it, he saw that this strong man was about thirty years old, dressed in a house, dressed very casually, medium height, chubby figure, looked very strong, and his face was not vicious.
Although his face is full of meat, he is always smiling. It's just that under the right eye, there is a sarcoma as big as a black bean, which is very conspicuous and broken.
Zhang Meng saw it and thought: "This should be Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi, I know at a glance that he is a scheming guy." ”
Zhang Meng thought of this, and when he heard this Sima Shi say this, he gently put down the two vicious dogs and responded to Sima Shi's words: "Hehehe, no, it's not hurt." These two dogs are so cute, you look at the color of the coat, it is as shiny as black paint. ”
In the past two days, as soon as the vicious dog touched the ground, he wailed and fled home, seeing the dog's mouth dripping blood, Sima Shi looked at it with a cold face, and before he could speak, the old man who guarded the door came out of the door, came to see Sima Shi, and hurriedly greeted: "The eldest prince is here!" ”
Then he turned to Zhang Meng and said, "This guest, I'm sorry. I went in and said to General Sima that you were coming.
The general said that he did not know Meng Da and had never been in contact······ Because the general was not in good health, he did not receive the two guests. I'm sorry, but please come back. ”
When Zhang Meng heard this, he was anxious for a moment and said, "Why don't you know each other?" Before, Meng Da Taishou was a subordinate of the general, and he often exchanged letters for official business. ”
Zhang Meng said this, but he understood Sima Yi's approach in his heart, and thought to himself: "After this old man was dismissed, he was very cautious in handling things, for fear that the court would be suspicious, so he put an end to all official contacts." Also, in politics, it makes sense to do so. ”
At this time, Sima Shi heard the door on the side and asked the old man guarding the door what was going on, and the old man truthfully told everything just now.
Sima Shi listened, took the letter in Zhang Meng's hand, stared at the envelope, looked up at Zhang Meng again, asked some things about Shangyong New Town, Jincheng and other places, and asked a few words about the war situation in Qishan in Hanzhong.
Zhang Meng pretended to be a merchant and gave a general introduction to the situation on the side of hearsay.
Sima Shi listened, returned the letter in his hand to Zhang Meng, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll talk about it when I go home." With that, he arched his hand to Zhang Meng, turned around and entered the gate.
It turned out that Sima Shi had long understood his father Sima Yi's current way of life, so after returning home, he came directly to Sima Yi and said, "Father, there are Meng Da's guests waiting outside the door, and they are still carrying Meng Da's letter, don't you meet me?" ”
At this time, Sima Yi was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, leaning on two pillows, wearing pajamas, a hairpin on his head, holding his sparse white hair as usual, a thin quilt below his chest, covering his knees, exposing his feet, and wearing a pair of white cloth socks on his feet.
Hearing Sima Shi's question, he commanded, "No." ”
Sima Shi listened, waited for a while, and persuaded again: "Father, the child saw that this young man who delivered the letter had a good character, tall and mighty, and those two eyes looked like two awls, piercing people, full of body, as if he had the strength of thousands of catties.
The two black unicorns in our family were one by him, as if they were catching rabbits, and blood flowed from the dog's mouth.
Also, this guy is a businessman, and he knows a lot about the things in Qishan in the west. ”
When Sima Shi said this, he looked at Sima Yi again and prompted: "Father hasn't seen the news over there for many days, so it's okay to invite him in to find out - chatting with the businessman, it's nothing." ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he lowered his head and rubbed for a while, and then commanded in a low voice: "Then go out and let him in." As he spoke, Sima Yi pulled the corners of the quilt, covered his feet tightly, and then lay on his back on the bunk.
He also instructed the maid to put a towel on his forehead, and quietly waited for Zhang Meng to come in and speak.
After Zhang Meng entered the door, he saw Sima Yi dressed like this, and said to himself with a smile: "I'm not Li Sheng, and I'm not going to Jingzhou to assassinate Shi Ren, I came here to say goodbye to you, what kind of illness are you pretending!" ”
thought again: "Sima Yi has always pretended to be sick, and this is all forced by officialdom······ It's not easy to engage in officialdom, it must be that since Sima Yi was seized power, he has been pretending to be sick like this every day, not just to see me. ”
At this time, I only heard Sima Shi introduce: "This is my father." ”
When Zhang Meng heard this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and greeted: "Under Zhang Meng, meet General Sima." ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he only whined twice, owed a debt, and instructed Sima Shi: "Look at the seat." ”
When the maidservant girl next to her heard this, she hurriedly took a handful of pestles and placed them on the side of the bed, and Sima Shi came over and asked Zhang Meng to sit down and talk to Sima Yi.
When Sima Yi saw it, he spoke first: "Occasionally, I contracted a cold, and it didn't heal for many days, and I was weak and sick, dizzy, and I couldn't get up to see guests, and the guests should not be surprised." ”
Zhang Meng listened and responded with a few kind words.
So, Sima Yi asked about the battle situation on the front line of Qishan in Hanzhong, "I heard that the imperial court on our side sent Guo Huai and Sun Li to lead troops to Qishan, and I don't know how the battle situation is."
If you know, why don't you tell me about it—just listen to the story. ”
Zhang Meng responded: "I also heard about it in Shangyong, but in fact, I didn't go to the Qishan battlefield, where the land is sparsely populated, and it is not easy to do business."
In addition, the two countries led troops to fight, so there is no real news.
Well, I heard, I heard that after Cao Zhen led the troops over, he followed the advice of the military advisor Guo Huai, and just nested the army in the big camp, and did not attack or retreat, so he was a shrinking turtle there, and Zhuge Liang consumed his strength, waiting for Zhuge Liang's grain and grass to continue, and the time to retreat with the troops, and then cover up and kill from behind! ”
When Sima Yi heard this, his body moved for a moment.
This unconsciously action was seen by Zhang Meng, and he scolded in his heart: "This old man, isn't this set of strategies right for your mind?" What are you trembling about? ”
