In the case of absolute superiority in the battle situation, the opponent's black and white cavalry of less than 10,000 people wiped out at least 50,000 troops.

Thinking of such an unattainable military force, Xiahou Chun's face couldn't help but sink a little.

In fact, at the beginning, he just couldn't get used to seeing Xi Yu being so admired by Cao Cao, and as a member of the Cao clan, he had never had such courtesy, so he always wanted to make the other party bow his head and admit defeat.

But after such a long time, the other party has never relented.

Not only that, but he also asked Cao Pi to back down again and again, and now he even wants to make him the Duke of Shengguo and cede Sanzhou as a principality, so that the status of Xi Yu is about the same as his own?

This made the breath that Xiahou Chun had been holding deep in his heart never be released.

How about you take a soft energy? As for such a competition?

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Xiahou Chun suddenly flashed a strange thought inexplicably: What if······ did not deliberately suppress Xi Yu at the beginning, but accepted and admitted him with an open heart, will he be the biggest weapon of the Cao family now?

No! Definitely not! “

Right! He is a foreign surname, and no matter how good the Cao family is to him, he will still rebel after all, just like now.

When the lord was still alive, how much did he value him? But as soon as the lord passed away, he did not hesitate to assassinate the Cao clan, this person is a white-eyed wolf!

"That's it, Miaocai, it's over, let's go back too."

Xiahou Chun looked at Xiahou Yuan, and the two finally returned to their camp in despair.

On the other side, Sima Yi, who was ready, was very surprised.

He didn't expect Cao Pi to be so fast in this matter, as if he had already thought about it and made full preparations before he came to pick up the two Xiahou generals, and even the edict had already been written.

Looking at the edict in his hand, Sima Yi didn't dare to stop for a moment, and it took ten days to come to the place where Xi Yu was encamped in Hejian County.

Before he could get closer, the black rider quickly surrounded the crowd, and then walked into the depths of the camp.

At this time, Xi Yu wore a robe and nested in the tent to read.

The battle began in the middle of summer and ended in late autumn, and now it is almost winter, so charcoal fires are lit in many places in the tent.

"Xiaguan Sima Yi, I am here to congratulate the Duke of Guo!"

"Guogong?"

Xi Yu was a little surprised by this title, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What does this mean?" ”

"The wisdom and courage of the prince of the country, the merits cover a thousand years, it really makes us admire, even the lord is no exception, and now, my lord specially played the son of heaven, named you as the prince of Shengguo, and set the capital to go down, since then you have the position and the public position, this is a great joy!"

"Is this what Cao Pi means or what the Son of Heaven means?"

"Both, of course!"

Sima Yi bowed his body and was extremely respectful: "The Duke of the Kingdom is the uncle of the Son of Heaven, his identity is already respected, and the title of the Duke of Shengguo belongs to you, in addition, in addition to the title, the three counties of Anping, Julu, and Guangping are also under your jurisdiction." ”

"Since then, you have owned half of the territory of Jizhou alone, which is a great gift!"

"Well, in this way, my north to Youzhou, south to Hefei will be unimpeded, but it can be regarded as a happy event to be congratulated."

He said that, but there was no joy in his eyes.

I saw his eyes roll slightly, and then he showed a slight smile: "Sima Yi, do you think you may go back alive today?" ”

"This ······"

Sima Yi stiffened, his eyes full of panic.

How could a good person say such a thing?

Of course I'm scared, and I'm scared to death.

The lord in front of him is not a good stubble, his skills are extraordinary, he is comparable to Lu Bu, and his literary talent is also quite remarkable, and he can be compared with the lord at the beginning, which can really be described as both civil and military.

Such a person is not something that anyone can consuade.

"Dare to ······ Dare to ask Guogong, why is this? ”

Sima Yi had a depressed face, he really couldn't understand the reason.

Saying that he has always been honest, how can he offend this lord with his duty?

If he could, he would love to be on good terms with all the powerful people in this world.

Speaking of which, except for Sima Fang, who passed away a few years ago, among the remaining three brothers Sima Yi, Sima Fu, and Sima Lang, Sima Yi is the most powerful, often accompanying Wei Gong, and his status is respected, but he has also become a thorn in the side of the Cao clan.

It is precisely because of this that he was sent by Cao Pi to be a lobbyist.

"It is said in this ritual that the two countries will not fight each other—"

"Whew!"

Xi Yu smiled disdainfully: "I'm just a civilian, I don't even know what etiquette is, how can I abide by the law?" ”

"This ······ This is not in accordance with the rules, Guogong, I ······ I'm just a sour and rotten literati, full of sour and rotten gas, and it's useless for you to ask me for this sour rotten meat! ”

"Or ······ Or forget it, right? lest it smoke you again? ”

Seeing Dian Wei, who was burly and looked like a bear, getting closer and closer, Sima Yi's eyes were full of panic.

Nonsense, don't you panic when you leave you? That's the guy who's going to get you to cook!

said that he was really aggrieved enough, not to mention a job that he couldn't shirk and was extremely dangerous, and he had to be boiled in a pot.

"Hahaha!"

After listening to him, he burst out laughing.

In order to survive, this Sima Yi can really say anything, but he can barely be regarded as clever and eloquent.

"Guogong, you listen to the next word first!"

"Say it."

Xi Yu waved his hand at Dian Wei, signaling him to retreat, and then ordered someone to set up a meal.

Now it's time for dinner, and he won't grieve his stomach for a mere Sima Yi.

Soon, the Huotou army brought a series of five large bowls, which contained all kinds of meat, such as pork belly, fatty beef, leg of mutton, and even grilled fish and pork rib soup.

A large table full of color, flavor and flavor.

Just looking at the steaming white mist, people couldn't help but sigh, and the greedy Sima Yi swallowed his saliva.

There was no way, the journey was tiring, and in half a month, he had never eaten anything else except dry food, and when he suddenly saw such a sumptuous dinner, he was inevitably greedy.

Especially when I saw the bucket of white rice still on the side, I couldn't stop muttering in my heart.

Maybe one of them is your own?

However, he was simply overthinking.

Xi Yu didn't even look at him, so he beckoned to Dian Wei, and then ate the food by himself, not too leisurely.

The corners of Sima Yi's mouth twitched, and then he realized that except for the big bowl of rice in Xi Yu's hand, the entire bucket was hugged by Dian Wei.

Good guys, this ······ This is a bucket of rice!

"You should talk about yours, if you have any ideas, explain them in detail, don't let anyone miss anything, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to Cao Pi when you go back!"

Xi Yu's sudden words frightened Sima Yi to come back to his senses quickly, and then nodded very embarrassedly.

Because he usually keeps a low profile, and even spends most of his time with people being extremely humble, he rarely encounters such a situation now.

Let's just say, as a messenger, you can't even eat when you come here, and you can only watch others eat, who understands this sadness?

However······

As long as he thought that the other party wanted to cook his heart, he felt that it was better to live in peace.

At the very least, if you finish talking early, you can go back early, and maybe you can eat some dry food when you go back.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and with a gust of cold wind, it was a middle-aged Confucian student.

As soon as Sima Yi turned around, he saw the guards on both sides saluting him.

Who is this person?

Looking at this man who was eight feet tall and had a beautiful face, Sima Yi was a little puzzled, this person gave him a very different feeling, seemingly gentle and easy-going, but with his gentle feather fan movement, it gave people a sense of chic and sharp.

"Do you want to come to Mr. Jizhou? I don't know what I'm doing here? ”

"You······ Are you Mr. Zhuge ? ”

As he spoke, Sima Yi had already bent down.

To be honest, he didn't know if the person in front of him was Zhuge Liang or not.

However, judging from the complex and natural temperament of the other party, there should be no mistake.

Nanyang hermit Zhuge Liang, in the whole world, how many people don't know his name?

Therefore, Sima Yi had special respect for him, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful at all.

Zhuge Liang replied lightly, and then smiled slightly: "Although I have just returned from Xuzhou, I guess one or two, Mr. should not come here to be a lord to be crowned, right?" ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Xi Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, who is worthy of a clever calculation, can see it at a glance." ”

"Not only that, I also want to ask the lord to agree to be sealed this time!"

"Oh?"

Xi Yu raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Why is this?" Do you know that I still want to cook this Sima Yi. ”

Why do you still mention this?

Sima Yi was shocked, he felt that if the other party mentioned it a few more times, he was afraid that he would not be able to go back.

"Don't cook it, my lord!" Zhuge Liang immediately put away the feather fan and said: "This is a sour and rotten literati, and its meat must be sour, Dong Zhuo didn't want to eat it at the beginning, why did you try it yourself?" ”

"Don't try, don't try."

Xi Yu pulled the rice into his mouth, looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Then what do you mean, just say it!" ”

"According to the following opinion, you can be crowned as a prince of the country, in addition to accepting the land of the state and county, we can also let the army and even the local people have a good life and recuperate, but before that, there are still several conditions that need to be improved."

There's a play!

Sima Yi didn't take the second half of the sentence seriously at all, anyway, as long as it came to fruition.

"Please also ask Mr. Kong Ming to elaborate, as long as it can be solved in the future, I will definitely agree!"

"Come to think of it, there are really some things that Zhongda can call the shots!"

Zhuge Liang lightly slapped the feather fan twice, said with a smile on his face, and then looked at Xi Yu, and the two glanced at each other, both of them knew it.

"You also know that we have a lot of money in Qingxu Erdi, and the money shopkeeper is the lifeblood of the entire Chamber of Commerce, and there are still many caravans in those chambers of commerce, what I need you to do is not to prevent those caravans from going to Yanzhou, Bingzhou and even Liangzhou!"

He Shi Ran walked to the first position on the lower left side of Xi Yu, sat down slowly, and continued to say slowly: "Not only that, but you should also be respectful to him, and arrange the best post stations and meals along the way, and at the same time reduce taxes. ”

Zhuge Liang said it in detail and perfectly, at least, he couldn't find anything to add here in Xiyu.

As long as the trade routes in these places can be opened, the economic lifeline of the entire Cao Wei territory will be in their own hands!

The truce is good for the Cao family, and it is also good for themselves.

Once the war is armistic, the two sides will enter a very calm and rapid development space, and it will not be long before the tide of the war will change drastically.

At that time, on the surface, it is very likely that the Cao family will share the world with him, but in fact, both sides are afraid that they will destroy each other.

Therefore, when the war starts again, the two sides will definitely fight to the death, and if the relationship between the two sides can be eased during this time, even if it is superficial, it will definitely be able to fight for a few more years of development and growth.

Maybe you don't have to fight, you can easily take Jizhou!

Sima Yi didn't understand the profundity of this, he frowned and thought for a long time, and finally nodded blankly, and said: "I agreed to this matter, and I won't refuse if I want to come to Duke Wei, after all, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." ”

"I wonder if Mr. Kong Ming has any other requirements?"

"Naturally."

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and continued: "The first thing is finished, let's talk about the second thing, I want you to make Luoyang the capital and rebuild the Luoyang Palace!" ”

Rebuilding the Luoyang Palace?

This time, Sima Yi was stunned for a long time.

As early as when he was a teenager, he also went to Luoyang, when Luoyang was the capital of several dynasties, quite prosperous, although in recent years some of the curtains, but has always been the city he has been yearning for when he was young.

Longing for the legend everywhere, what dragon energy, the mandate of heaven, and even rumors that Luoyang is the eye of feng shui in the imperial capital city!

If such a legendary place can be rebuilt, it will be a great achievement!

Using the reason that the Han Dynasty's Heavenly Mandate Qi is reunited, and the Son of Heaven is expected to return to persuade Cao Pi, I don't think there will be any big problems.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded: "This matter is feasible, and I agree-"

"Good!"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhuge Liang stood up, then bent down and clenched his fists, and said with a smile: Thank you, sir, since you have agreed, then go back and order Cao Jun to withdraw from the land ceded in Jizhou! ”

"Huh? Brother Kong Ming, how do you know that they have cut the land? ”

If they can't do that, then do they still have the sincerity to make peace? If they don't cut the ground, how can they hibernate? ”

The first half of the sentence was fine, but Sima Yi, who heard the second half of the sentence, was shocked, and the whole person was not good.

But it's okay, because he hid it in time, it was just an instantaneous change, and it didn't attract attention.

After returning the salute, he suddenly didn't know what he should do, only humbly bowed his head, not knowing whether to leave or not.

Xi Yu swept the afterglow and asked a little strangely: "Do you still have something?" ”

"Huh? No, no, it's just ······"

Sima Yi took two steps forward with a confused face and whispered, "You······ You also cook····· Cook me? ”

"How? Want to die so much? ”

Xi Yu glanced at him playfully, so frightened that Sima Yi fell to his knees, and said again and again: "Thank you Guogong for your mercy, congratulations to Guogong again, it is a blessing for the world to be able to get along with Cao Bus this time!" ”

"In Zhong Da's view, no matter who has the last surname in this world, as long as you are not surnamed Liu of Jingzhou and the grandson of Jiangdong, as long as the Han Dynasty will live forever, you and the lord will be heroes of the world regardless of success or failure!"

Sima Yi said as he lowered his head and quickly stepped back.

He will never forget the way Cao Cao looked at him before he died.

At that glance, it was as if I had no clothes on, including many thoughts in my heart.

"What do you think of this person?"

After Sima Yi was removed, Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang.

"It's interesting!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "He can endure it and hide it, but if it were me, he wouldn't be able to do this." ”

Xi Yu's eyes flickered when he heard this, he vaguely remembered that Sima Yi's number seemed to be called Tsukasa Hu?

The mound tiger, as the name suggests, is the one who buried the tiger.

This person has survived many heroes in the world, and finally won the world.

He seems to be a small person whose personality is always mastered by others, but one day, when this little person shows his fangs, many big people can't bear it.

This guy isn't a good thing at all.

Xi Yu didn't have a good impression of him at all.

As far as he knew, Sima Yi finally stole the power of others' victories, and finally made it to the emperor's chair and became Emperor Xuan of Jin.

It is precisely because of his usurpation of power that he has rewritten the benevolence, righteousness and morality of the whole world, and loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, wisdom and faith have become precarious because of him, and even the people of the world believe that as long as they have talent, they can be fearless of other morals and become emperors and generals.

"Tell the truth." Xi Yu put down the bowl in his hand and said, "I actually killed him several times. ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't feel it at all.

Aren't you discussing the problem? How many killings did it take a few words?

"That'······ How do you get ······?"

"Because the time has not yet come!"

Xi Yu shook his head with a smile and continued: "If I don't kill him now, the Cao clan will have an estrangement and even conflict with the Sima family, which is becoming more and more important, which is a good thing for us." ”

"As for killing him, there will be a chance in the future!"

"Right now, we still need to take it step by step, and it's a big deal to think about how to bring the Son of Heaven back to Xiapi first!"

"Speaking of the Son of Heaven, the third request I just want to say is actually to let them return the Son of Heaven, at least, the Son of Heaven cannot be trapped in Yecheng, it's just ······"

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's just that I can't say it." ”

This drama Yu is not surprised, after all, Zhuge Liang is a very smart person, of course he knows the importance of the Son of Heaven.

"What are you afraid of?"

Dian Wei wiped the corners of his mouth indifferently and said, "It's one thing to say it or not, it's another thing to do it or not, it's a big deal, let's steal the Son of Heaven back!" ”

As he spoke, Xi Yu had already unfolded the topographical map of Jizhou.

This map depicts the topography from Yecheng to Chang'an.

Now it seems that Xuchang and Yecheng will not be regarded as the capital by Cao Pi, after all, these two places are not far from their own territory.
