Four hundred and sixtieth chapters to establish a name quickly
"The thorns are covered with luxuriant leaves, and the thorny paths lead to the trees." [Seven Sorrows]
Sima Yi was puzzled by Wang Fu's look. He lowered his head to look at his clothes and asked curiously: "What do you think you are looking at me like that?"
He actually had an idea in his mind, but he just showed an uncomfortable look.
Wang Fu looked at him intently for several times, until the strange feeling in his heart gradually disappeared, then he sat down next to Sima Yi, pushed him to the side, and complained: "Didn't you say you are sick? It's my fault.
As soon as I left the palace, I rushed here in a hurry and didn’t even return home..."
"If you don't come to see me, then I'm sick." Sima Yi said slowly and leisurely, without the slightest apology for lying to a king and his friends: "If you come to see me, then my illness will be cured immediately."
"Speak carefully." Wang Fu felt that there was not enough space, so he pushed Sima Yi to the side: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Sima Yi was pushed aside by Wang Fu in retaliation. In desperation, he had no choice but to stand up and give up his position to him. He shook his arms at Wang Fu to show his thin body, "Of course I'm recovering from illness.
Already."
"What's your illness?" Wang Fu frowned.
"It takes two months to recover from the disease."
Seeing Wang Fu's somewhat annoyed look, Sima Yi had to hide his smile and said seriously: "Do you know when the imperial court will send troops?"
"In May of summer." Wang Fu closed his eyes heavily and replied without thinking: "At that time, spring plowing is over and it is not the busy time of midsummer farming. The climate is also good, which is suitable for dispatching the army. Otherwise, we have to
Wait until after autumn, but by then it will be too late."
"The emperor is marching on his own, so those close servants like you and me must go with the army?" Sima Yi said nonsense, and without waiting for Wang Fu's reply, he quickly continued: "But I don't want to go to Guandong with the army."
"You don't want to go to Guandong?" Wang Fu stared at the other party in disbelief: "Over the years, the pastoral guards in various places in Guandong divided the counties and counties, focusing on supporting troops. Seeing that the imperial court was weak, they retreated from Guanzhong, so they cut off the imperial tribute and stopped paying tribute.
They lost, and they all went to war, but no one could truly fulfill the courtesy of being a minister! In order to send troops this time, the imperial court tolerated it for five years! Reviving the Han Dynasty and getting rid of the rebels was a huge achievement. If you miss it, you will be in trouble.
No more. Everyone in the court wants to take advantage of it, but you are the only one..."
Wang Fu stayed by the emperor's side these years, and studied and discussed with Pei Qian and other secretaries on a daily basis. Although his character was still hard to transfer, his intelligence and knowledge had undergone a significant change. Listening to him talk now,
He said coquettishly: "Zhongda, what are you thinking about?"
"Recovering Guandong and punishing the two Yuans are great achievements, but what can we get?" After hearing Wang Fu's rare impassioned speech, Sima Yi remained indifferent and said calmly: "As for the marching strategy, the country has Jun Xun by its side.
Mr. Jia, even Fa Xiaozhi, who went to Hanzhong to participate in military affairs, has more qualifications than us. When it comes to leading troops on expeditions, let alone your age and mine, let’s talk about the former general Zhu Gong, the guarding Xiongnu lieutenant general Zhang Liao, Fu
The generals in the army, Xu Huang, etc. are all generals who are good at fighting. As for the administration of the people and the land, who is not the governor of Yingchuan, Chen Guo and other counties who is worthy of the responsibility of any party?"
Seeing Wang Fu's brows frowning and loosening, and then twisting together again, Sima Yi Shiran clasped his hands behind his back, walked a few steps on the spot with a smile: "You said that the imperial court's battle was very great, and its contribution was particularly great.
Well, this is indeed true. But you also have to know that no matter how good things are, no matter how big things are, these are all bluffing. The key is what we can get. If we went to Guandong with the army, what we would do all day long is Huan
If those people are doing the trivial things in the Chengming Hall now, and if they go into the mountains and get only one leaf, I would be better off just sitting at home."
"That's the case. If you go, you might be able to participate in it and find opportunities." Wang Fu felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his heart. He originally thought that following the emperor to Guandong this time would be a great achievement, but after Sima Yi's words
That said, it is simply wishful thinking. There are so many people who are capable and qualified to get a share of the pie, so how can there be any extra for you?
But he was still a little puzzled. He raised his head and followed Sima Yi's figure with his eyes: "But if you deliberately pretended to be sick, wouldn't you have missed it in vain and gained nothing?"
"Who said I can't get anything?" Sima Yi chuckled, staying in place, his eyes were particularly bright: "Soon, there will be a great success in Guanzhong. Although it is not as good as conquering Guandong, it will be enough to conquer Guandong.
We stand out, even... stand alone."
"What great achievements will there be in Guanzhong?" Wang Fu said without knowing the details.
Sima Yi paused at this time. He remembered that Wang Fu's brother Wang Duan had come back from Hedong in the past few days. Every day, he would catch Wang Fu'er and talk to him about his orders. He told stories about Hedong and Bingzhou. This reminded the emperor of the Wang family.
It was not difficult for Sima Yi to guess that the emperor planned to send Wang Fu to Hedong or Bingzhou at the beginning of the expedition to be tempered in a partial army. In fact, Wang Fu did not have to worry about his life at all, but he just liked to do his own thing, and
He was not as calm as his brother, so Sima Yi took the opportunity.
It seems that before Wang Fu obeys the arrangements of the emperor and the Wang family, he must first trap Wang Fu and himself on a rope, otherwise his plan will be useless.
"What? Han Sui rebelled?" Wang Fu looked in disbelief, even incredulous: "The imperial army is so powerful that Liangzhou can be destroyed at any time. How dare he rebel?"
"This man has colluded with the Qiang and Di to cause chaos in the Western Frontier for more than ten years. He is already the chief culprit of the Qiang disaster. The imperial court cannot spare him, and is determined to take his head to make the final accounting for the century-old Qiang chaos. The long-standing evils left by previous generations
It will never happen again, and the world will be prosperous and prosperous. This is the new dynasty that the country wants." In comparison, Sima Yi, who had already predicted this matter, was very indifferent: "For Han Sui, if you don't want to sit still,
If he is about to die, then raising an army to rebel is his only option. For him, the most suitable time is now when the imperial court is marching eastward and has no time to look westward."
"But he has been very deferential to the imperial court in recent years. This year he even sent troops to Yumen Pass. After a lot of effort, he paid nearly a thousand kilograms of charcoal to your Majesty..." Wang Fu's retort stopped abruptly in the middle of his words. Only then did he realize
To: "Is he just pretending to flatter you?"
"More than that." Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Yumen Pass is the gateway to the Western Regions, connecting the three counties of Jiuquan, Dunhuang, and Juyan. Xu Gong, the prefect of Jiuquan, and Ma Gong, the prefect of Dunhuang, are both loyal to the country. Although they are located in a remote location, even if the roads are disturbed
, there are often memorials and plans. Since Han Sui has sent troops to Yumen, it means that he not only quelled the turmoil caused by drought locusts in Liangzhou the year before last, but even subdued Hexi."
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" Wang Fu stood up anxiously, subconsciously going back to report to the emperor.
Sima Yi stopped him at the right time and said softly: "Han Sui thought he was smart, and he was superfluous. What's wrong with flattery and tribute? He wanted to pay tribute to 'Rui Tan', which is only available in the Western Regions. He also said that Dunhuang County purchased it from the Western Regions.
Do you think the country doesn’t know these things?”
