Sima Yi didn't wait for Zhang Meng to speak, and continued: "Alas, there is no way, let's go back to Luoyang to live."

Here, it's actually very good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it's really a good place to retreat, but there are always some down-and-out things that make people feel uneasy.

As I said earlier, the frustration has happened twice, and who knows when the third will happen?

Also, the flip house, although it is sponsored by you, but there are too many eyes and ears on the side of the court, and I am far away from the capital, and the construction of the house is also a matter of suspicion for the court! So

I thought about it, let's go back to the capital Luoyang, live at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven can rest assured, and my life will be at ease. ”

As soon as Zhang Meng heard that Sima Yi was going back to live in Luoyang, he was anxious, and thought: "It's not easy to get close to Sima Yi to this point, once we are separated, I don't know when I will be able to complete my mission!" Thinking of this, he asked Sima Yi: "Sima Gong, you want to go back to Luoyang, but Prime Minister Zhuge asked me to bring you greetings, how can I reply to people when I go back?" ”

Sima Yi listened, looked at Zhang Meng with a smile, and said: "After you go back, reply to him like this, just say, Sima Zhongda thank Zhuge Kongming for his greetings, and then convey a word of advice to him - the Han Dynasty's qi is exhausted, don't work for Shu Han anymore." Zhuge Kongming's best way out is to bring troops over to surrender to the Wei State, and the Wei court will definitely reuse him. Tell him so. ”

When Zhang Meng heard this, he felt a chill in his heart, and said to himself: "I'll wipe it!" I came to convince him, but I was almost convinced by this old guy! Thinking of this, I felt that there was no need to continue talking, so I said goodbye to Sima Yi, went downstairs and took Ma San'er on the way home, along the way Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and hated: "It's really Meng Da right, persuading Sima Yi to surrender to Zhuge Liang is as difficult as asking Zhuge Liang to surrender to Sima Yi!" However, I don't believe in evil, and I have to do things well! ”

On this day, Zhang Meng was chatting with Gao Ling in the store, talking about Sima Yi, Zhang Meng told Gao Ling about the handover between himself and Sima Yi, and in the end, Zhang Meng concluded: "Sima Yi is not moved by words, which has long been expected." Before I came, Prime Minister Meng Da and the others all denied my plan, saying that this thing would not succeed. Prime Minister Zhuge saw that I was very determined, and knew that I was very well-grounded, so he agreed to my plan. Especially Munda,"

When Zhang Meng said this, he laughed a few times, and then said: "What does Meng Da say, persuading Sima Yi to surrender to Zhuge Liang against the water is as difficult as persuading Zhuge Cheng to surrender to Sima Yi with the opposite water. ”

When Gao Ling heard this, she asked rhetorically: "I persuaded you like this, why didn't you listen?" Well, I remember, didn't you originally plan to persuade Sima Yi first, but if you really can't do it, you will resort to a truce card? At this point, why don't you use the trump card? Besides, with your ability, you can solve the problem right away, so why delay? ”

Zhang Meng listened, looked at Gao Ling, and said: "I know that I have a trump card, and when I know that it really can't work, I will use the trump card, if I don't know that I have a last resort, Prime Minister Zhuge will not agree to my plan, even Meng Da, and he will not support it." However, to think of putting such an outstanding contemporary figure as Sima Yi to death, I really can't bear to do it. Besides, I think there is still room to persuade Sima Yi, let's persuade it for a while, when it really doesn't work, you have to use the truce card! ”

As the two of them were talking about this, Ma San'er came in to report, saying that Sima Zhao was visiting: "At this time, I am standing outside the door, waiting for you to meet me." ”

When Zhang Meng heard this, he hurriedly ordered Gao Ling to dodge, then tidied up his clothes and went out to greet him.

When I went out to look, I saw Sima Zhao looking at the door with a smile, and there was a servant standing beside him, and the servant was carrying a bag in his hand, and he didn't know what was in the bag.

When Zhang Meng saw it, he hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed down to greet him: "Ah, my God, how can Sima Gongzi have time to come to the shop, it really makes us shine here." ”

When Sima Zhao saw it, he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Boss Zhang is really good at talking, not only has a good character, but also loves to speak." Hahahaha. ”

After entering the door, Sima Zhao pointed to the bag in the servant's hand and said, "This bag contains 5,000 yuan." My father told me to come over and return the money to Boss Zhang. This money is definitely not enough, my father said, for the time being, pay these first, and the rest of the money will be owed to Boss Zhang first, and then return it to Boss Zhang after collecting the tenant rent next year. ”

Zhang Meng listened and asked, "What's the matter?" Collecting land rent? Where to collect rent? ”

"Oh, Boss Zhang doesn't know yet, there are more than a dozen granges in my hometown, and on weekdays, I also collect three or five thousand silver dollars every year to support our family's life. No, this year, my father was idle at home, and the imperial court stopped issuing money, and our family lived on these tenants. Hehehe, it makes Boss Zhang laugh when he talks about it. There are many people in the family and the expenses are large, so life has been very difficult in the past six months. ”

Zhang Meng heard it and sighed: "In the end, it is the big family of the Hou family, it turns out that the ancestor ruled the grange, in this way, Sima Yi's family will not have a difficult life, but they were dismissed by the imperial court, lived in seclusion at home, and behaved in a low-key manner, so as not to be suspected by the imperial court." Thinking of this, Zhang Meng excused himself and said: "This money, that is, the renovation of the old house, spent this money, I funded General Sima's family, and I didn't expect the general to repay it." Sima Gongzi's family now has too many people, and the consumption is large, and he has to continue to decorate the house, you can take this money back and use it, I am not in a hurry to use this money here. ”

Sima Zhao heard this, and said with a smile: "We have received Boss Zhang's kindness." However, my father told me to come and do something, and if I couldn't do it, I would be complained about when I got home. If you don't complain, your father will be angry. ”

Zhang Meng heard that he had to excuse himself, saying that your family is now waiting for money, and the house is just a rough house, and it takes a lot of money to decorate.

Sima Zhao replied: "My father is anxious to go back to Luoyang to live, so after the rough house is stacked, it will not be renovated for the time being." Otherwise, Boss Zhang, what about this money, I will put it here with you first, and then I will come and borrow it when I use it. If I bring the money back today, my father will really complain. Do you think that's good? ”

Zhang Meng heard this, and knew that it was not good to refuse, so he had to take the money and agree to Sima Zhao's arrangement. So, Zhang Meng asked: "General Sima wants to return to Luoyang to live, I know this, but why is it so urgent?" ”
