Five hundred and ninetieth chapters rotten plants have beetles

"I heard from my teacher that the Zhiju sentence came to the nest, and the wind came from the hole." [Wind Fu]

After a few words to subdue Ma Chao, Sima Yi only squinted his eyes and smiled in return, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced at his brother Sima Lang who came from Chang'an with Ma Chao: "Brother coming from Chang'an must have passed through Yi County? Sili Pei Gong

But is it okay?”

Sima Lang didn't know the purpose of the other party's question. He just twisted his beard and thought for a moment, and said truthfully: "After Han Sui retreated, there were many remnant soldiers wandering around Fufeng and Jingzhao. At this time, Duke Pei was busy mobilizing soldiers and generals to calm down the situation."

Chaos. By the way, when I came, Mr. Pei took the time to see me and said that he was busy quelling the chaos and had no time to go to Chencang to visit Mr. Huangfu, so I asked him to send his regards to Mr. Huangfu."

"Ming Gong is not in good health now." Sima Yi said bluntly, his expression did not change, and he said straightforwardly: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be the one to greet you now. Pei Gong has also written to me several times, but it's a pity that I can't go into details.

Even though this situation makes Mr. Pei worried, it is my fault."

Sima Lang noticed the subtlety in the other party's words, but due to Ma Chao's presence, he couldn't ask too much, so he could only nodded lightly and said nothing.

Ma Chao couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Supervise the army! When will we march to Yongliang?"

Sima Yi turned to look at him and said with a smile: "There is no need to worry. The remnants of the third auxiliary army have not been eliminated, and the battle ahead has not yet been decided. The soldiers under Ming Gong still need to stay in Chencang and make arrangements in the middle to deal with emergencies."

"In the future, Jincheng and the west of the river will be battlefields. Why don't the army move forward and take up positions in Hanyang? It will be more convenient." Sima Lang interjected.

"Most of Pei Gong's soldiers and horses are stationed in various places to pursue and suppress the remaining Qiang and Hu soldiers. It may be difficult to control them all. With the intimidation of Ming Gong's army, the common people can be safe." Sima Yi said without thinking.

"Then we simply retreat to Yi County, join forces with Pei Gong, wipe out the remaining soldiers first, and then lead the troops to march westward?" Sima Lang suddenly became a little unwilling to give up.

Sima Yi's expression changed, but he still smiled and gave an explanation: "This is even more inappropriate. When the army retreats, where will the generals in front be? If there is a change, how will there be time to dispatch support?"

His words are well-founded, and he gives the reason why troops must be stationed in Chencang now. However, such a stagnant position and an attitude that seems to deliberately avoid meeting with the two most powerful figures, Zhong Yao, the governor of Yongzhou, and Pei Mao, the captain of Sili School

Sima Lang felt something strange keenly.

Ma Chao on the side did not deliberately care about the undercurrent between the brothers. Although Sima Yi rejected his eagerness to seek a battle, he still confidently planned to show his strength among the two thousand people assigned to him. Before entering Taixue.

He often followed Ma Teng and led troops in battles. Although he had not been to the battlefield in person over the years, his innate talent had not changed. He was eager to bring these two thousand people into submission in a short period of time.

Just when Sima Yi started to reorganize Chencang's army, Yongliang launched an overwhelming offensive under the leadership of Zhong Yao, Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, Geshun and other generals. The military revolution in Youfufeng behind Chencang continued day by day.

.

After Sili Colonel Pei Mao led his troops to Yixian, he sent a letter proposing to join forces with Huangfu Song to attack the remaining Qiang invaders in Youfufeng, and then head westward steadily. He had planned everything, and he thought Huangfu Song

Pei Mao would agree to this prudent strategy of putting the inside first and then the outside, but the proposal was immediately rejected, and the messenger did not even see Huangfu Song. So Pei Mao sent someone over again, hoping to meet Huangfu Song in person.

, discussed the next strategy, this proposal was not only rejected, but also brought a military order issued by Huangfu Song in the name of General Hussars and Supervisor of the Yongliang Military, ordering him to station firmly in Yi County, eliminate the remaining soldiers, and protect the capital.

want.

Pei Mao was a careful man. In the past, when he controlled Gaishun, Xu Huang and other generals when they were marching south to Yizhou, he often sensed their emotions based on the subtle changes in their words and deeds, thus regulating the relationship between Gaishun and Xu Huang.

An embarrassing atmosphere. Now that he is leading troops again, he is doing the same thing. Although Huangfu Song uses troops cautiously, he often takes advantage of the victory to pursue the victory. He has to wait until the remaining troops are completely wiped out in the rear before moving troops. This reason seems to Pei Mao to be too much.

Too far-fetched.

So Pei Mao thought about it alone all night, but finally couldn't figure it out. After careful consideration, he asked people to search around and invited Su Ze, who had stayed in mourning after burying his family in Wugong County.

"Has everything been arranged at home?" Pei Mao was not wearing official uniform, only wearing a dark-colored casual uniform to receive visitors in a side room: "Since I led the army, as soon as I arrived in Fufeng, I swept away the chaos, dismounted to save the people,

To care for the orphans and old people. The Su family of Fufeng is a famous family in Sanfu. I also try to pay attention to it, but it's a pity..."

Su Ze's sad face was still there, and he was still wearing mourning clothes. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, my dear friend. After my family suffered a disaster, many people in Guanzhong came to help me for some reason. I am ignorant, and I am afraid that I will not be able to repay today."

Just in case."

Pei Mao was originally thinking about how to persuade Su Ze to do something for him during the period of filial piety. Now when he heard the tactful refusal in Su Ze's words, he couldn't help but admire the other party's cleverness and feel deeply embarrassed: "Actually, I invited the literary master to come today.

I do have an unkind request." He simply put aside the veiled rhetoric and spoke directly from his heart: "I recently heard that Duke Huangfu in Chencang is ill and has not seen anyone for several days. Now although Han Sui has been defeated and fled,

, but the military situation is particularly urgent. Duke Huangfu is the backbone of the army, and ordinary people have to pay special attention to his every move. Now it is said that he cannot see things due to illness. I thought, both in public and private, how should I go to greet him in daily life. "

He carefully observed Su Ze's expression, and then said: "It's just that I'm stuck with official business and can't get away, so I have to work hard for you, Master Literary."

Su Ze said with some doubts: "If Duke Pei wants to send someone to visit, he only needs to have one of his subordinates work as the chief clerk. I have no official position and I am in the period of filial piety. How can I take on this responsibility?"

"Ma Chao and Wen Shi studied at the Imperial Academy together, so they should know each other, right?" Pei Mao suddenly changed his words.

Su Ze seemed reluctant to mention this person. He hesitated for a moment and then answered truthfully: "Jinnuo, I once had a relationship with him."

"That's it." Pei Mao said with his hands. He had deliberately inquired. Ma Chao didn't have any good friends in Taixue. Only Su Ze was close to him. This was why he came to Su Ze alone.

: "Ma Chao is in Chencang now. You can just meet him during your trip."

Su Ze felt that this arrangement was a bit strange at first, but when he saw the deep look from Pei Mao, he suddenly seemed to understand something in his heart.

This time the greetings to daily life are not on the stage!

Su Ze also paid attention to the situation in Yongliang during the funeral in Youfufeng. He only knew that the war was at the last moment, but he never heard that Huangfu Song was seriously ill. If it is true as Pei Mao said, then Xu Rong in front, Gai

Can Shun and other generals continue to fight with peace of mind? Can they continue to unconditionally obey the military orders issued by Chen Cang?

Judging from the current situation, Pei Mao knew through some channel that something had happened to Chen Cang, so he wanted to know the true situation of Huangfu Song. If everything was fine, it was just a false alarm; but if there was something unexpected... Su

Then I can't help but think that since the building collapsed, and the Yongliang war is still going on in a hurry, who will the tens of thousands of people here care about? Is it Pei Mao, the captain of Sili School from Hedong, or Zhong Yao, the governor of Yongzhou from Yingchuan?

It is still unclear whether Zhong Yao is aware of it, but does Pei Mao in front of him seem to have a plan?

Pei Mao liked the other person's intelligence very much. The advantage of dealing with smart people is that they don't need to waste much words, and they can often understand each other with just a hint. He did this out of concern for Huangfu Song's health, and at the same time

Plan ahead and be prepared to deal with unexpected events. As for the selfishness, it is well hidden in the righteousness: "Huangfu's relationship is very important. Until it is confirmed, I dare not make any opinions, so I have to ask a literary scholar to represent me."

Let's go to Chencang. I know Master Wen is still in his filial piety, but the matter is so important that I have to borrow Master Wen's help and invite Master Wen..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Mao, the dignified Sili Colonel and Marquis of Yangjiting, left the table and came closer, bowing to Su Ze.

Su Ze was startled and hurriedly hid aside. He paid homage to Pei Mao with a great ceremony, saying in horror: "How dare you!"

"You deserve this worship!" Pei Mao straightened up with a determined look: "The current situation is hard-won and there is no room for any mistakes. If Duke Huangfu is seriously ill and unable to take on important tasks, the court must know it immediately and deal with it, otherwise

The situation has changed drastically...how can we see our country again?"

Under Pei Maodong's request with reason, Su Ze reluctantly agreed. However, when he calmed down afterwards, he couldn't help but start thinking, if Huangfu Song was really seriously ill, why didn't he report it to the court early and instead concealed it?

Come down? Didn't Huangfu Song know the stakes? Out of concern for the situation, Su Ze agreed with Pei Mao's request with a very high attitude. Captain Sili, who owed him a huge favor, would naturally do so in the future.

In addition to taking more care of him, Su Ze also deliberately avoided a question in his mind.

That is, does Ma Chao, who has just arrived in Chencang not long ago, know the secret behind this matter? Or how deeply involved is he?

The answer to all this came to Su Ze soon after he met Ma Chao in the military camp outside Chencang City: "General Hussars?"

Ma Chao shook his head blankly. He recovered from the excitement of seeing Su Ze: "Speaking of which, I have never seen General Hussar. The supervisor said that General Hussar is ill and has been in prison for the past few days.

Military orders are conveyed through the mouth of the army."

Speaking of this, even Ma Chao felt something was wrong: "What? Do you think something is fishy?"

Su Ze said 'hmm' and nodded slightly: "So Mr. Huangfu is indeed ill. But if that's the case, why didn't Mr. Huangfu report the matter to the court?"

"I don't know about that." Ma Chao waved his hand. He was still holding a whip in his hand. It was obvious that he had just got off the horse. "In the past few days, I have been busy training the troops entrusted to me by the general.

Sometimes I forget to eat, and I still have time to think about other things."

Su Ze had no choice but to think about it on his own. Since Huangfu Song was really seriously ill, what was the reason why he concealed it? What's more, during this period, Huangfu Song, who could not see what was going on, was still giving orders in name.

Does it mean that the person who issued the order was no longer Huangfu Song himself, but the young supervisor of the army, Sima Yi? Was it Huangfu Song's instruction behind this, or was it done deliberately by Sima Yi?

"Sima Zhongda has been delivering military orders to Duke Huangfu?" Su Ze asked.

"I heard that the general trusted the supervising army very much. When he was in Xi County, the general entrusted many major and minor matters to the supervising army." After Ma Chao finished speaking, he remembered that Su Ze was older than Sima Yi and was not as talented as him.

Inferior, now Sima Yi is the supervisor of the army. Su Ze has been implicated by Xiaoqi this time, but he doesn't know where he will be in the future. Otherwise, he will take this opportunity to introduce him to Sima Yi, and the two of them will catch up with Wang.

Boat……

Su Ze didn't notice what Ma Chao was thinking about. He suddenly had a terrible thought in his mind. Maybe Huangfu Song had died long ago and Sima Yi concealed it for some purpose. No matter what the reason was, Huangfu Song had not been around for a long time.

Appearing will definitely arouse the suspicion of others. When the matter is leaked, all relevant people will be implicated!

"Now that the matter has been asked, it's time for me to leave." Su Ze felt that he was sitting in a room full of dry firewood. It only took a spark to ignite it. He immediately had the desire to escape.

Thought: "I have a great filial piety now. If I hadn't been asked by someone and couldn't refuse, I wouldn't have come here. You... just take care of yourself."

"Hey, Master Wen!" Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Ma Chao felt strange and hurriedly reached out to stop him: "It's not convenient for you to stay, so I have to introduce you to the supervisor. I think the Sima family will be very powerful in the future.

, should not be underestimated, I will take you to see him now, it will also be beneficial to you in the future."

It was too late for Su Ze to hide from Sima Yi. How dare he take the initiative to meet Sima Yi? He was also startled, and broke away his arm from Ma Chao's hand: "A man who observes filial piety no longer mourns in the house, how can he come in and out of the palace at will?"

What’s the point of socializing in a private residence? Maybe next time.”

Ma Chao also knew that this was not appropriate, so he could only say regretfully: "It's a pity that this opportunity is rare, and it is several times better than the internship arranged by Taixue. You just missed it."

Su Ze was now just glad that he met Ma Chao in the military camp outside the city and had not actually entered the city. Otherwise, if he had any contact, he would not be able to argue with him in the future. Seeing that Ma Chao had no idea at all and was only thinking about himself, he couldn't help but be moved when he heard this and relaxed.

Said: "You should take more care of yourself. The military supervisor in the city... If you listen to my advice, you'd better stay away from him these days."

"What?" Ma Chao seemed to feel something vaguely.

Su Ze ignored him, but turned to look to the west, as if someone was coming from somewhere in the west. It was not difficult to predict that the news that Huangfu Song was seriously ill would spread like wildfire, and the entire Yongliang City would be affected.

The only two people who are qualified and have the opportunity to replace Huangfu Song. Now that Pei Mao has expressed his concern, will the other person's reaction be slow?

He seemed to understand Huangfu Song's intentions. Just because he was suspected of being 'seriously ill', someone had already started to make plans. If news of his death really spread and the situation in the northwest deteriorates, who can take responsibility?

Thinking of this, Su Zeru felt a flash of light on his back and suddenly asked: "Do you know why I gave that horse to you?"

The matter of gifting horses happened to be on Ma Chao's heart, and he was about to mention it and thank Su Ze in person, but seeing Su Ze's face solemn, he changed his words for a moment: "Why? You want to help me on the battlefield.

Convenient to kill enemies?"
