"Brother!" Arriving in the backyard, Sima Yi quickly found his brother Sima Lang. Sima Lang was eight years older than Sima Yi. Now Sima Yi was only thirty years old and in his prime, while Sima Lang was already frosty white.
.However, Sima Yi always maintained respect for his brother and did not dare to show any slights.
"Oh! It's Zhongda here!" At this time, Sima Lang was dealing with his beloved bonsai. When he saw Sima Yi looking for him, Sima Lang also smiled and handed the tools in his hands to the servant beside him.
He took the silk scarf and wiped the stains on his hands, and then said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda came to see me, but what's the important matter? Let's go to the study to talk!"
Sima Yi did not object to Sima Lang's suggestion. This was exactly what Sima Yi wanted. The two brothers immediately walked to the study room not far away. After entering the study room, Sima Lang walked straight into the room.
Sima Yi sat down, and Sima Yi carefully closed the door, and then came to Sima Lang. Seeing Sima Yi being so cautious, Sima Lang frowned, and began to feel something was wrong, and said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, this is
Why do our Sima family need to be so vigilant?"
In response to Sima Lang's somewhat reproachful questioning, Sima Yi smiled and said: "Brother! Be careful, walls have ears! What I am going to say to eldest brother cannot be allowed to be heard by others, otherwise, our Sima family may be in danger of overthrowing at any time.
!”
Seeing Sima Yi speaking so seriously, Sima Lang also straightened his face. Regarding this second brother, Sima Lang knew his abilities very well. There are eight brothers in this generation of the Sima family, and all of them are great talents. They are known as Sima Bada.
But among all the brothers, it is the second brother who has the most outstanding intelligence! It was Sima Yi who advocated that the entire Sima family take refuge under Gongsun Zan's account, which is why the Sima family is as glorious as it is now! It can be said that in the Yan region, except Gongsun
Outside of the family, the Sima family is the most powerful! Now that Sima Yi has spoken so seriously, Sima Lang naturally attaches great importance to what Sima Yi will say next!
Sima Yi then said: "Brother! Now our Sima family's property in Youzhou must be sold as soon as possible! Evacuate all the Sima family members from Youzhou! If I am not wrong, Gongsun Zan may be in danger!"
"Huh?" Sima Yi's sudden words made Sima Lang stunned, but he didn't understand what Sima Yi meant at all. Although Gongsun Zan is not the strongest in the world, he is still among the princes in Guandong.
It can be regarded as one of the best! And Sima Yi was deeply trusted by Gongsun Zan. Why did Sima Yi suddenly say such a sentence?
Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Brother, you don't know something. News just came from Liaodong. There was internal fighting in the Gongsun family in Liaodong. Gongsun Du's eldest son Gongsun Kang was killed by his second son Gongsun Gong! Now Gongsun Gong has inherited the power of Liaodong!"
"What, what's going on?" Although Sima Lang is also known as a great talent, his mind is inferior to that of Sima Yi, but he doesn't understand the problem of the Liaodong incident at all. From Sima Lang's perspective,
Come on, this change in Liaodong is good news for Gongsun Zan. The strength of Liaodong has been weakened invisibly, which will help Gongsun Zan seize Liaodong and completely control Youzhou in his own hands. But why would Sima Yi say that Gongsun Zan wants to
Is it dangerous?
Sima Yi took a deep breath and explained: "Brother, I have some understanding of the situation of the Gongsun family in Liaodong. Gongsun Du only has two sons. The eldest son Gongsun Kang is smart and capable, and the city is deep, while the second son Gongsun Gong is
Eat, drink and have fun, he is a dandy! If it is said that Gongsun Kang killed Gongsun Gong, then maybe I still believe it, but if it is said that Gongsun Gong killed Gongsun Kang, humph, Gongsun Gong, that dandy, is not that good
Great skill!"
When Sima Yi said this, Sima Lang also felt that something was wrong. He frowned, looked at Sima Yi and asked: "Zhongda, do you mean that there is a helping hand around Gongsun Gong?"
"That's for sure!" Sima Yi clenched his fist vigorously, nodded and said: "Without help, with the ability of that playboy Gongsun Gong, it is impossible to kill Gongsun Kang! And the battle report from Liaodong said that Gongsun Kang
Gong had previously received the support of Liaodong general Gongsun Hao, but in the battle with Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Hao, as a general, was shot to death by a cold arrow! From this point of view, the forces who helped Gongsun Gong were not well-intentioned.
Yeah! It’s obvious that we want Gongsun Gong and Gongsun Kang to fight so that both of them will suffer losses!”
Sima Lang also understood what Sima Yi meant, and a bright light flashed in his eyes immediately. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "It seems that this is indeed possible. But the question is, who would do this? Liaodong
To the north of Youzhou, it is not adjacent to other princes. Even if the other princes have this intention, they do not have the ability to implement this strategy! Could it be that they are Xianbei people?" Sima Lang also knew the Xianbei people after so many years in Youzhou.
Concerned about the danger to Youzhou, they turned their suspicions to the Xianbei people.
Sima Yi shook his head again and said: "No! It's not those barbarians! I have already guessed which force is behind this secret trouble! If I am not mistaken, it should be the troops of the Western Qin Dynasty!"
"Xiqin?" Sima Lang was startled and couldn't help exclaiming loudly, but he quickly realized that this matter should not be made too public. He quickly lowered his voice and looked at Sima Yi with wide eyes.
Asked: "How is this possible? Western Qin is to the west of the Central Plains, so far away from Youzhou, let alone Liaodong! How can this Western Qin have the ability to go to Liaodong and stir up such a big storm?"
Sima Yi snorted coldly and sneered: "Brother, have you forgotten that three years ago, Luo Yang sent an army of light cavalry and heavy cavalry to Liangzhou to annihilate the Xiongnu?"
When Sima Yi said this, Sima Lang immediately remembered that three years ago, in order to retaliate against the Xiongnu and Western Qiang for sending troops to attack Longxi, Luoyang sent two armies to annihilate the Xiongnu and Western Qiang. The army sent to the Western Qiang just used
Within a few months, the Xiqiang was wiped out, and the king of the Xiqiang was even captured! However, there was never any response from the army sent to the Xiongnu. Many people were secretly guessing that this army was
Could it be that the army sent to the north of Liangzhou was wiped out by the Huns! Because the Huns are not easy to deal with. Even if the Western Qin army is wiped out by the Huns, it is not impossible.
Over time, the princes of Guandong gradually forgot about this army. Now that Sima Yi suddenly mentioned it, Sima Lang almost didn't remember it.
Sima Yi had a gloomy look on his face and said: "The Mao Blade Qingqi and the Liduo Heavy Cavalry are the two armies with the highest attack power under Luo Yang. When these two are combined, it is impossible for the Huns to withstand them! But it has happened in three years.
, no news came out! Therefore, I think Luo Yang must have let this army secretly bypass the eyes and ears of the people in the name of revenge on the Huns, and came to Liaodong! This change in Liaodong must be this Western Qin army
Doing something in the dark!"
"Hiss!" Hearing what Sima Yi said, Sima Lang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, his forehead was covered with big beads of sweat, and he hurriedly said: "If this is true, then wouldn't all Liaodong fall into the west?
Qin's hand? Oh! Zhongda, why don't you report it to Gongsun Zan? It's better to guard against Liaodong and don't let the Qin army in the west take advantage of the loophole!"
"Hmph!" Regarding Sima Lang's words, Sima Yi snorted coldly and said, "Gongsun Zan? Back then, he dared to take action decisively, killed Liu Yu and occupied Youzhou. I thought he had a heroic figure! No!
Thinking about it, over the past few years, I have discovered that this person is so ambitious and talented that he cannot be trusted! If our Sima family is tied to this person, even if we escape this time, sooner or later we will still fall into the hands of this person!"
"Uh!" Sima Lang was speechless after hearing what Sima Yi said. Sima Lang also strongly agreed with what Sima Yi said. In the early years, Sima Lang also served as an official under Gongsun Zan, but Sima Lang saw through Gongsun Zan's ability.
He was limited and couldn't bear the idleness, so he simply resigned early and stayed home. Anyway, with Sima Yi by Gongsun Zan's side, there was no need to worry about the decline of the Sima family.
Then Sima Yi said to Sima Lang again: "So I deliberately did not expose the Western Qin conspiracy this time, just to create an opportunity for our Sima family to leave Gongsun Zan! I have already made a request to Gongsun Zan, allowing me to lead the army to Jizhou and Qingzhou.
Set up defenses! When the time comes, the eldest brother can secretly leave Youzhou with the Sima family. As soon as the Western Qin Dynasty takes action, I will take the troops Gongsun Zan gave me and directly join Cao Cao or Liu Bei! I believe that both Cao Cao and Liu Bei will treat us.
The Sima family welcomes you!"
What Sima Yi said is quite right. The Sima family is a famous family in the world, and the eight brothers of Sima Yi are all among the best. Now among the princes of Guandong, who would think that he has too many talents? Besides, Sima Yi still has many talents this time.
Not only is one person surrendering, but there are also a large number of soldiers and horses under him. When the time comes, Cao Cao or Liu Bei will rush to win over him!
After understanding Sima Yi's arrangement, Sima Lang also began to lower his head and think about it. Undoubtedly, Sima Yi's arrangement was the most appropriate, but as the current head of the Sima family, Sima Lang had more things to consider, and he was secretly thinking
Thinking about whether the Sima family could escape Youzhou safely without arousing Gongsun Zan's suspicion in a short period of time. After thinking for a moment, Sima Lang raised his head and nodded, and said to Sima Yi: "Well! Zhongda! This is
Things should be fine! However, you have to think about it, which side should we go to when the time comes? Liu Bei? Or Cao Cao?"
When Sima Lang asked the question, two equally young and equally handsome faces immediately appeared in Sima Yi's mind. He smiled slightly and said: "As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide help when the time is right! We naturally have to join the weaker side.
, so that our Sima family will be more reused in the future!"
