Cao Pi, with a few confidants and many soldiers, came to Sima Yi's cemetery with a solemn expression.
They were dressed in plain clothes and silently stared at the tombstones.
Cao Pi walked forward and gently stroked the handwriting on the tombstone, as if he could feel Sima Yi's wisdom and power.
He turned around, faced everyone, and began to give a speech.
"Everyone, Sima Yi, he is our mainstay, and his wisdom and courage will be recorded in history forever."
Cao Pi's voice was low and powerful.
Afterwards, Cao Pi knelt down.
The others also knelt down quickly.
Cao Pi's mood was very complicated, and he really didn't want to come to this place.
But he knew that this was the result of winning people's hearts, so he had to come and he started the show immediately.
He was particularly sensational and once again explained that he really shouldn't kill Sima Yi.
All of this was fooled by Xi Yu.
He found that what he said was very effective.
Many people were infected by their own words, and some even started to cry. They all thought of Sima Yi, and they all developed a special hatred for Xi Yu, believing that he was a despicable, insidious and cunning person.
Cao Pi was very happy because his morale was inspired and everyone could fight to the enemy bravely.
Morale is a very important thing.
It's like some soldiers who are respectful on the surface, but if morale is lost, this depression cannot be changed by anyone.
Once morale rises, it will play unlimited roles on the battlefield.
You will die in every battle. But to Cao Pi, what is the death of someone?
As long as you can conquer yourself, you will be better than anything else.
Moreover, no one in any station in all dynasties will die, so the people present are just cannon fodder.
He now feels that he should continue to add more fire and continue this show, which must be touching people more deeply.
After a while, Cao Pi squeezed out a trace of tears, and then started to cry loudly. He was trying hard to recall some sad things.
But later I found out that no matter what, I couldn't imagine any sad things.
Later, he finally thought of something that made him sad so that he could continue to make a show.
Everyone felt very uncomfortable when they heard him crying.
"Mr. Cao, what's wrong with you?"
A soldier asked quickly.
Cao Pi led his face with a heavy expression, and tears of regret flashed in his eyes.
Cao Pi knelt down slowly, bowed his head to confess to Sima Yi's tombstone, and murmured to himself: "Zhongda, I shouldn't have killed you by mistake! I am a sinner in the world. Today I will confess to you. Please forgive me!"
The soldiers on the side hurried forward to support Cao Pi and persuaded him: "Duke Cao, no one can be resurrected after death. You are so sad!"
Cao Pi shook his head, insisted on kneeling and refused to get up, and said in pain: "This is the biggest mistake I have made in my life. I must kneel here to atone for my sins to comfort Zhongda's spirit in heaven."
"Duke Cao, you still need to preside over the military and national affairs. Now it is time to prepare for war. Don't be too sad, which will affect your health!"
Cao Pi shook his head and expressed his heart full of regret and self-blame. He recalled Sima Yi's contributions, and thought that he had been impulsive and killed this loyal minister and general, and he felt even more sad.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled, and everyone present seemed to be particularly cold.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Sima already knows your thoughts. Don't blame yourself too much."
"Yes, Cao Gong, no one can do without mistakes,"
But no matter how everyone persuaded him, Cao Pi was determined to kneel here until he had enough repentance.
"Duke Cao, you are about to go to war, and you are still the commander-in-chief. How can you kneel here? What does the people of Luoyang think?"
"Yes, Cao Gong, you should also think about the people of the world."
"I am no longer interested in doing all this now. You can just fight bravely to kill the enemy. I am just kneeling here."
Cao Pi stubbornly insisted on his decision, which made many soldiers look at each other and didn't know what to do.
They were filled with worry and uneasiness.
Cao Pi said coldly: "No one needs to say much. This marquis has made up his mind, and no one can change it."
His voice echoed in the empty camp, with a sense of determination.
Many people felt a slump in their hearts. They knew Cao Pi's character, and once he decided on something, it would be difficult to change it.
"Duke Cao, this move is absolutely not allowed! If we have civil turmoil at this time, the enemy will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and we will be in danger at that time."
There was a general's voice with a hint of anxiety and fear.
Cao Pi glared at him and said, "What do you mean by this? Do you want to go against the meaning of this marquis?"
"I dare not! Just..."
"Just what?" Cao Pi interrupted Xu Huang's words, "You don't need to say anything. This marquis has decided. Whoever dares to disobey will kill him or her!"
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
No one expected that such a thing would happen at this critical moment.
There were some people who thought that Cao Pi was just making a show and just doing it for everyone to see, but now they found that he was serious.
"Okay, just let me kneel here alone. If the rest of you are fine, you can leave."
But after Cao Pi said this, many people still knelt here. They insisted that since Cao Pi wanted to kneel here, they would accompany him.
"Why are you so stubborn? What's the use of you here? Go away quickly."
At this moment, Cao Pi was simply caught fire.
At this moment, a ginseng general named Xu Lei stood up.
"Since Mr. Cao asked us to leave, we will leave."
Many people don't understand why he did this.
Moreover, Xu Lei was also an important official around Cao Pi.
But everyone left temporarily, leaving only a few soldiers with Cao Pi.
After walking far away, many people asked Xu Lei what was going on.
Xu Lei sighed and said that Cao Pi was kneeling in front of Sima Yi's tomb, and he felt very heartbroken. Now he is bringing everyone out and then telling his own way.
"General Xu, tell me what your method is? As long as you can let Mr. Cao face all this normally, don't give up on yourself, we will listen to you in everything."
"That's right, General Xu, we believe you will definitely have a solution."
His solution was that they told Sima Yi about this and asked Sima Shi to persuade Cao Pi.
"I believe that Sima Shi must be a reasonable person. Although I have never had contact with him, I have a little understanding of his character." Xu Lei expressed his suggestions, which was also a good way he had considered.
"What do you think of my idea?" But Xu Lei knew that this method was actually a bit risky, and many people probably opposed it.
Sure enough, the people present immediately became divided into two factions.
Some people think this is not a good idea, and Sima Yi should hate Cao Pi to the core now.
Some people also think that this idea is good. Because Cao Pi's actions should be considered to be able to impress Sima Shi.
Xu Lei said that no matter what, he would give it a try now, and he was willing to visit Sima Shi himself.
"General Xu should be careful. Maybe Sima will kill you if he gets angry."
A soldier said quickly, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"General, the villain means to recognize that Sima Shi is stimulated and may become even more angry."
Xu Lei waved his hand and immediately stopped the soldier's conversation.
"Apart from this, is there any other better way?"
At this moment, everyone stopped talking.
"So, since there is no better way, I still have to go there."
With Xu Lei's insistence, everyone had to agree. Someone asked Xu Lei to lead his troops there.
Xu Lei immediately denied: "If this is the case, wouldn't it make Sima Shi more disgusted? I have to go there alone."
Everyone's persuasion was ineffective, so they had to let him go.
Because they found that Xu Lei was also a very stubborn person.
After a while, Xu Lei rode alone and galloped towards the Sima family.
Sima Shi was still immersed in the pain of his father's death. On that day, he set up a mourning hall at home.
Because it was harmed by Cao Pi, few people came to pay their respects, but Sima Shi still understood that many people admired their fathers in their hearts.
Just this morning, he discussed another issue with Sima Zhao.
It was not Cao Pi who really killed his father, but Xi Yu. They should have to seek revenge on Xi Yu.
But the two of them knew that it would be difficult to really seek revenge on Xi Yu.
Sima Shi was quietly in front of his father's mourning hall, his eyes were deeply engulfed, and his eyes revealed endless sadness and pain.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and then the butler's voice came: "Young Master, General Xu Lei is asking for a visit."
Sima Yi frowned slightly, feeling puzzled in his heart.
He had no close relationship with Xu Lei, so he came to visit him at this time. What was going on?
After thinking for a while, Sima Yi decided to meet Xu Lei. He waved his hand and signaled the butler to bring Xu Lei in.
Xu Lei walked into the mourning hall, his steps were steady and firm, and his body exuded a majestic aura.
He stood quietly in front of Sima Yi's tablet, with a hint of respect in his eyes.
Sima Shi raised his head and said in a low voice: "General Xu, what's the point of being here?"
Xu Lei took a deep breath and said slowly: "I heard that Lord Lingzun passed away, so I came to pay my respects. Although I have no deep friendship with Lingzun, his achievements and virtues have been widely praised in the court."
Sima Shi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Thank you for General Xu's concern. My father's death was a heavy blow to me, and I am still immersed in pain. Since I am here, let's go indoors for tea."
Xu Lei nodded slightly.
He whispered: "Mr. Sima, I understand your feelings. Losing a loved one is a very painful thing, but life still needs to continue. Lord Zun devotes his whole life to his life and dies as his own."
"Thank you very much for General Xu."
But Sima Shi certainly understood the principle of not entering the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. He did not think that the other party was just coming to pay his respects.
Soon, I arrived at Sima Shi's study.
Sima Shi also asked the servants to come over quickly.
"General Xu, don't know what happened to come"?
Of course, Xu Lei also understood that the other party must know that he had something to do and that he could not come for no reason.
Because it was so strange that I had no close friendship with Sima Yi, and those who had close friendships did not come to pay their respects to me. Why should I come here?
"Yes, there are some things indeed."
At this time, Sima Zhao walked in.
His steps were light and steady, and he exuded a sense of confidence and intelligence.
When Sima Shi saw Sima Zhao coming in, he stood up and introduced to him: "Brother, this is General Xu Lei."
Sima Zhao bowed to Xu Lei with his fists and said respectfully: "General Xu Lei, I have heard of the great name for a long time."
Xu Lei looked at Sima Zhao and couldn't help but feel moved.
He felt the extraordinary temperament, the calm and wise eyes emitted by Sima Zhao.
He felt that Sima Zhao was extraordinary and would become a great man in the future.
Xu Lei smiled and replied, "Young Master Sima Zhao, he is indeed a handsome talent and extraordinary talent."
Sima Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you General Xu Lei for the praise. It seems that the general has something to do with my brother. Since that's the case, I will take it back first."
He smiled and finally left.
"Okay, General Xu, now you can tell me what the hell is it?"
Xu Lei told Sima Shi about Cao Pi's performance on Sima Yi's cemetery.
Cao Pi actually couldn't stand up in front of the tomb, which surprised and confused everyone present.
No matter who persuades him, Cao Pi will not listen.
Sima was shocked after hearing this. He widened his eyes and showed an incredible expression on his face.
He did not expect Cao Pi to do such a move, which was completely inconsistent with his understanding of Cao Pi.
However, Sima Yi quickly calmed down and began to think about the motivation behind this.
He frowned and immediately realized that Cao Pi was winning people's hearts, and he was just doing it for others to see.
He said angrily: "Cao Pi is a despicable villain. It is really abominable that he used this method to gain sympathy and support. This is trampling on my father's blood!"
Sima Shi's face turned gloomy, he clenched his fists, and anger flashed in his eyes.
"Young Master Sima, please be careful and never say that."
In fact, for Xu Lei, he certainly understood what Cao Pi was thinking in his stomach.
But he had to do things for Cao Pi, so he persuaded Sima Shi in this way.
Sima Shi's sharp eyes immediately stared at him.
"General Xu, do you think what I said is wrong? I think you are pretending to be confused with your understanding."
Xu Lei immediately blushed and didn't say anything.
Sima Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Pi's methods are really despicable, and he uses any means to make the power."
The atmosphere became tense, and Xu Lei seemed to be able to hear Sima Shi's heartbeat.
"Young Master Sima, maybe Cao Gong really has this meaning, but no matter what, if he can put down his airs, it is valuable to do so."
Xu Lei didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only say that.
"I don't need him to put down his airs. He was very disgusting to kneel on my father's cemetery. I hope he leaves quickly, otherwise I'll be polite to him."
Just as Sima Yi and Xu Lei expressed dissatisfaction with Cao Pi's behavior, Sima Zhao walked in again.
Sima Zhao's face was also full of anger, which seemed to be exactly the same as Sima Shi's face.
His appearance surprised Sima Yi and Xu Lei.
Sima Zhao said, "So you are talking about Cao Pi here, I have heard your conversation."
Sima Shi frowned slightly. He didn't expect Sima Zhao to eavesdrop at the door.
He looked at Sima Zhao dissatisfied and asked, "Brother, why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Sima Zhao said: "Brother, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. But I think General Xu Lei must have something important to discuss with us when he comes here. I waited at the door for a while and finally heard some interesting topics."
Sima Shi looked at Sima Zhao and felt helplessness in his heart. He knew that Sima Zhao was smart and clever, but sometimes he was too cunning.
Xu Lei looked at Sima Zhao, and then said to Sima Shi: "I think we should handle the matter in front of us first. Cao Gong knelt in front of the tomb for a long time, and this matter must be handled properly."
Sima Shi said to Sima Zhao: "Brother, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Sima Zhao said angrily: "Brother, I should support your suggestion. He is obviously malicious when doing this with a despicable villain like Cao Pi."
"You two, don't go to extremes."
Xu Lei had already sweated at this time.
He also considered that he would face various blame and difficulties in the future.
If he didn't get things done, but instead told the two brothers about Cao Pi and made them hate Cao Pi even more, then he really did a bad thing with kindness.
"General Xu, if you want to drink tea here, stay. If you want to talk about this, I will blame you for being ruthless." Sima slapped the table angrily.
And in the military camp, many people were worried about Xu Lei.
"General Xu can only be humiliated by himself, but he just doesn't listen to us."
"Although I have never been in contact with Sima Shi, I have heard of him as a kind of person. It would be strange if he agreed to persuade Cao Gong."
"Maybe not only will it not persuade, but it will have murderous intentions to Cao Gong."
"Although General Xu's idea is very good, it is not realistic at all."
At this moment, everyone kept talking.
"But what should I do when Mr. Cao is like this? The army is approaching soon."
Many generals' faces were filled with frown.
"Forget it, we shouldn't think too much, maybe General Xu will do the work."
On the other hand, Xu Lei smiled bitterly after hearing Sima Shi's words.
"I know, no matter what I say, you won't listen to it, but..."
Sima Zhao immediately interrupted him.
"Nothing, but my brother is right. If you want to drink tea, you stay. If you don't want to drink tea, you will see you off."
Sima Zhao's eyes were like eagles, which made Xu Lei feel a sense of absent-mindedness.
