In addition, when Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang played chess, they lost consecutive battles. Although in the end, after Zhuge Liang left, he made a move and defeated Zhuge Liang, but he didn't know that Zhuge Liang had no backup plan.
In addition, Sima Yi proudly said to Zhuge Liang that playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting is just a small way, and governing the country is what the wise do. They will compete on the battlefield one day, and the result...
Zhuge Liang is becoming more and more ferocious now. Jingxiang blocks Sun Ce and goes north to fight the Xiongnu. If nothing else happens, this time Zhuge Liang returns to Chang'an, he will set a new record for the youngest military meritorious prince in history!
If he could come back before the end of the year to worship at the Ancestral Temple, Zhuge Liang would have broken Huo Qubing's record of seventeen-year-old military achievements. If he had come back after the end of the year, Zhuge Liang would have tied Huo Qubing's record.
As for Sima Yi, let’s not mention it...
Under such circumstances, how could Sima Yi bow his head and become Zhuge Liang's second-in-command? He would rather die than bow his head to Zhuge Liang. In Sima Yi's words, his head could only swing left and right, and could not be lowered.
Therefore, Sima Yi did not hesitate to reject the job his father was looking for for him, and planned to continue to stay in Chang'an to see through the chaos in Chang'an.
This is what is said about the beginning and the end. Of course, Sima Yi can be said to be strong and strong now. His heart is really bleeding now. He will be the first to step out and establish a country on the edge of the empire. As a bridgehead for going out in the future, he will inevitably
go down in history.
But Sima Yi really couldn't tolerate it. He went to work for Zhuge Liang. This kind of thing was absolutely intolerable!
Ahhhh, damn Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi felt that one day he would inevitably have a fight when he met Zhuge Liang. How many times had this damn guy unintentionally tricked him!
[Should I turn around and go back? With my peers from the Chen family and the Sima family, I should be able to suppress Zhuge Liang. Should I go back...] Sima Yi felt like his heart ached at this moment. He wanted to go back, but felt that it was too embarrassing.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up.
In this way, Sima Yi staggered, endured the pain in his heart, and returned to Zhong Yao. At this time, Zhong Yao was devoting himself to calligraphy, relying on the charm of Cai Bozhe's calligraphy to forcefully transfer his feelings towards Liu Xie.
disappointment.
Seeing this, Sima Yi knew not to disturb Zhong Yao. He read the book and couldn't see much despite his irritation. After throwing the book aside, he felt quite idle and had to walk around Zhong Yao's courtyard for a long time.
I also found it quite boring.
So Sima Yi tidied up, took the pass given to him by Liu Xie, and walked towards the palace. He still planned to meet Liu Xie. Although in his opinion, Liu Xie's degree of committing suicide was already high enough, but now things
Before it was irreversible, Sima Yi planned to do his best.
Of course, part of the reason for this is that what happened before did make Sima Yi feel a little unmotivated. Now he is doing something he was not willing to do before to divert his attention. It makes him feel sick and disgusted.
At least I feel disgusted with myself, far better than Zhuge Liang, who is nowhere in the corner, disgusting me from afar, so Sima Yi came.
As before, Sima Yi, holding Cao Cao's token and Liu Xie's token, arrived at Liu Xie's study unimpeded, and now Liu Xie was in the study.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you." Sima Yiping said calmly.
"Sima Zhongda, come in, I haven't seen you in the past few days." Liu Xie said calmly while sitting on the armchair.
"A few days ago, Cao Zixiu monitored my subordinates closely, and I really can't come here." Sima Yi opened his mouth to come, but Liu Xie had no way to verify it. He didn't have any doubts about Sima Yi's answer and nodded lightly.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me who gave you the suggestion to recruit the Southern Xiongnu into the Xiyuan headquarters and the Southern Army?" Sima Yi respectfully saluted Liu Xie.
Liu Xie thought he did this matter very secretly, but in fact the wealthy families and wise men in Chang'an had already received the news.
This is also the reason why Sima Yi, Zhong Yao, Yang Biao and others were completely desperate. It was really a bad move by Liu Xie to compile the Southern Xiongnu's invasion of Xiyuan Headquarters and the Southern Army.
Of course, from a normal perspective, this is indeed a pretty good chess move. The Southern Xiongnu has no support and is trapped in the northern border. The emperor has great righteousness and fights for the emperor. The southern Xiongnu has great righteousness, so they don't have to be trapped in the north of Bingzhou.
In addition, the Han Dynasty headquarters was extremely powerful, so the Southern Xiongnu could not have any big intentions, thus curbing the Southern Xiongnu's counterattack.
Just like in history, when Liu Xie withdrew from Li Jue's control, he issued an edict to ask the Southern Xiongnu to come to help. Liu Qubei, the right virtuous king of the Southern Xiongnu, and Liu Bao, the left virtuous king of the southern Xiongnu, both came with imperial edicts, but they were mostly to follow the order. Robbery instead of escorting them under orders.
Even in the end, the only one who went to escort him was Liu Qubei, the king of right Xian who was already satisfied after grabbing all the way. As for Liu Xian, king of left Xian, Liu Bao, after grabbing most of the Sili, he turned back to his hometown and didn't care about Liu Xie at all. For them, He said that following the order is just a matter of righteousness, and whatever he does depends on whether the Lord is strong enough.
Currently, Liu Xie is in great need of his own troops, and Liu Xie chooses the Southern Huns who need "righteousness". The two sides almost hit it off.
After all, for Liu Xie, as long as he controls the world, the supplies currently promised to the Southern Xiongnu are nothing at all, and the Southern Xiongnu are just surrendered barbarians. When the time comes, he must get out of the Central Plains when he gives the order, otherwise the world If they attack in groups, they will not be able to defeat them like Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Cao Cao did before.
It can be said that in Liu Xie's view, using unfounded barbarians like the Southern Xiongnu gave him far more peace of mind than using Han generals from the Central Plains.
However, in Sima Yi's view, this was basically to annihilate himself from the world and lure the Southern Xiongnu southward. This had never been a problem for the Han Dynasty. After all, the Southern Xiongnu was kneeling at the feet of the Han Dynasty, and there was no problem as a servant army.
The problem is that Liu Xie did not have the power to control the southern Huns at all. Liu Xie's so-called method of leading the southern Huns to go south was completely different from the way Yuan Shao led the northern Hus to go south.
After Liu Xie issued the edict, he let it go and waited for the Southern Huns to come to Chang'an and obey him obediently. However, Yuan Shao's original method was to recruit troops. You either come or die. During this period, anyone dares to violate Yuan's military discipline. , kill directly.
Liu Xie did not have this kind of power. Liu Xie led the Southern Xiongnu to the south and only had an edict, an edict conveying great justice to the Southern Xiongnu.
Sima Yi dared to bet that Huchuquan Chanyu, the Southern Huns, would definitely go south after receiving this edict, but the way he went south was definitely not clean.
It is almost inevitable to kill, burn, and loot all the way. Even the Zhengguo Canal and Liufu Canal that Li Jue and Zhong Yao worked so hard to rebuild will be destroyed again. At present, almost all the main forces of Yongliang have been taken away by Cao Cao, and the remaining troops Most of them are in the south, while the north is almost empty.
This kind of completely non-resistance method will make the Southern Huns who went south under the imperial edict completely enter the state of banditry. They will definitely kill, burn, loot and commit all kinds of evil along the way.
Going south like this, the people north of Chang'an probably didn't know that hundreds of thousands of people would die. After Chang'an, the Southern Huns Huchuquan, who had already understood the situation, must not have much respect for Liu Xie, although they would look at the Han Dynasty and the princes of the world.
His strength is both positive and negative, but if Liu Xie asks him to do anything, he will never do it if there is no benefit.
Of course, that's all. The Southern Xiongnu going south was obviously someone's plan. In the battle between Han and Hu in the north of Youzhou, the Northern Hu people except the Southern Xiongnu and the Qiang people who had begun to sinicize under the command of Ma Chao.
, other Hu tribes have been completely destroyed.
The Qiang people have nothing to say. They have the same ancestors as the Han people and agree to Chineseization, so they can assimilate quickly.
That is to say, there is only one real foreign nation left in the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, that is, the Southern Xiongnu. Although the Southern Xiongnu have bowed their heads and surrendered, they still have a certain degree of independence.
This kind of independence is no different from complete surrender when the Han Dynasty is strong. But if the Han Dynasty declines one day, this independence will make the Southern Huns covet the Han Dynasty. At present, northern Xinjiang has reached this kind of independence.
To the extent that Sima Yi did not believe that the people behind the scenes would let the Southern Xiongnu stay in the northern Xinjiang.
However, the Han Dynasty now lacks a reason to destroy the Southern Xiongnu. You must know that in the previous war between the Han and the Huns, the Northern Xiongnu brought almost all the miscellaneous people with them, but only one tribe remained untouched, that is, the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu.
The hatred between the Xiongnu and the Southern Xiongnu was simply irreconcilable.
In this way, after the defeat of the Northern Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu survived, so that the Southern Xiongnu was the only foreign ethnic group left in the entire northern Xinjiang. Sima Yi simply did not believe that the person behind the scenes would not be interested in the Southern Xiongnu.
So Sima Yi was guessing how the Southern Xiongnu would die, but before he could guess, Liu Xie issued an edict to summon the Southern Xiongnu into the DPRK to fill up Xiyuan and the Southern Army. In an instant, Sima Yi understood that the Southern Xiongnu, the last barbarian in the north, would
Why did you die?
The Southern Xiongnu who came with the order thought that they had great righteousness, so they inevitably killed, burned, and looted along the way. But with the current situation of Liu Caosun, they didn't care whether you came with the order or not. As long as foreigners dared to kill, burn, and loot in the Han Dynasty, it was already
The three parties that destroyed the entire northern barbarians would not mind having more than a million slaves on their hands!
The Southern Xiongnu are just a ghost. Even if all the millions of people in the Southern Xiongnu are replaced by the Northern Xiongnu, there will only be a dead end against this three-party army. After the First World War, the Qing Dynasty will pacify Northern Xinjiang and will not leave any trace behind.
hidden dangers.
Therefore, on the one hand, Sima Yi and others admired the people behind the scenes for using this method to completely end the chaos in northern Xinjiang, but on the other hand, they lamented that Liu Xie was ruining his own country.
To be honest, with the current situation, as long as Liu Xie does not commit suicide and Liu Bei keeps his promise, even if Liu Xie cannot take power, he can still be the emperor for the first time in peace and security, and then pass the throne to Liu Bei's heirs. The world of the Han family will still be the Han family.
’s world.
But now that there is an edict summoning the Southern Xiongnu to go south, when the incident in the north breaks out and the three parties defeat the Southern Xiongnu, Liu Xie will probably be attacked by a group of wealthy families and celebrities from all over the world!
This kind of method of selling money by public opinion, in this era, whether Liu Xie can maintain his throne is a question, and it is not impossible that Liu Xie is even forced to commit suicide by the public opinion.
These methods are vicious and cruel, and have no chance of survival at all. They are completely driving Liu Xie to death. Needless to say, the ultimate beneficiary must be Liu Bei.
[I’m really curious, if Liu Xie dies, how will Liu Bei choose, not to proclaim himself emperor, or to shirk the blame and accept the throne?] The moment Sima Yi lowered his head, he couldn’t help but think, [If Liu Xie dies, Liu Bei will proclaim himself emperor.
If so, to some extent I should have won. I don’t believe that Chen Zichuan and Zhuge Kongming couldn’t see the chain of interests involved.]
The moment this idea came up, Sima Yi killed it in an instant, but this idea seemed to be completely rooted in Sima Yi's heart.
"It was not suggested by anyone, but I thought of it myself." Liu Xie looked a little proud, and even he admired the inspiration he had in that moment.
Sima Yi was stunned, silent for a while, and then said, "I wonder where your Majesty came up with this method?"
"It's in the study room." Liu Xie said with a little pride. He didn't rely on anyone for this strategy. It really was just him who came up with it.
Seeing Liu Xie's expression, Sima Yi was convinced that the other party was not talking nonsense, and couldn't help but feel a little headache. If the other party really thought of this plan, then Liu Xie was really at the end of his strength.
"Zhongda doesn't believe it, come on, come on, let's take a look." Liu Xie was in a very good mood now. He immediately called Sima Yi to come to him. He saw a map on the table. It was the battle of the Southern Huns after the Tianshan Mountains.
Obtained the order from the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and cooperated with the map to attack the Northern Xiongnu.
"This is the map of the Battle of Tianshan. Where did your Majesty find it?" Sima Yi could tell at a glance, but he didn't think there was anything interesting about it.
"It's on the bookshelf." Liu Xie said with a smile, "It was this map that reminded me that I am not without soldiers."
Sima Yi's brows almost knitted into a knot. It all seemed like an accident, but he always felt that there was something wrong. Logically speaking, even if Liu Xie saw the map of Houtian Mountain, it would be impossible for him to think of using the Southern Huns.
However, it is basically impossible, which means there is still a possibility, that is to say, Liu Xie may have really seen this map and had an idea of unintentionally.
"Since your Majesty has thought about it himself, then I am overthinking it." Sima Yi thought about it carefully, and even made a gesture of caressing the map unintentionally, and finally confirmed that there was indeed no problem in it. [It seems that he has really run out of energy.

At this time, Sima Yi accidentally saw an eunuch sorting out the bookshelves and arranging volumes of books randomly. It was obvious that he was an illiterate eunuch. Sima Yi suddenly asked in a confused manner, "Your Majesty.
,What books are you reading these days?"
"Books about the Southern Xiongnu." Liu Xie said naturally.
"Your Majesty, please go and read some relevant books." Sima Yi's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help but secretly sigh, "What a subtle method. If I hadn't had too many contacts with the Emperor, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the Emperor had been plotted against."
