Chapter 313: Sima returns to Cao Cao through a dangerous plan
Through Jia Xu's intelligence and the joint efforts of scouts and guides, Zhao Yun brought three thousand tiger guards to Hanoi seven days later and went straight to Sima Mansion. Three thousand tiger guards entered Hanoi, and the Hanoi guards did not know what was going on. Zhao Yun
Just entered the city! Of course, even if he knew what was going on, the Hanoi garrison would not dare to block Zhao Yun's troops.
"General, Sima's Mansion is just ahead!" The scout pointed at a high-profile house not far away. The three characters "Sima's Mansion" were clearly written on the plaque on the door.
"Come here, surround this mansion!" Zhao Yun gave the order, and the deputy general immediately led more than a thousand soldiers to surround Sima's mansion.
"Come forward and call the door!" When everyone surrounded Sima Mansion, Zhao Yun immediately asked the primary school teacher to knock on the door.
"Dong dong... creak..." The principal slammed the door, and the red-painted nailed door was actually knocked open.
"General, look..." The principal looked blankly at the door of Sima Mansion, as if he still didn't understand why the door opened by itself after just tapping it twice.
"Enter the mansion!" Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "Look at every wing and don't let anyone go. However, be sure not to touch anything in the mansion to avoid falling into the trap!"
"General, what kind of trick can a wealthy family's mansion fall into?" A small colonel asked with a shy face: "How can he take advantage of the entire mansion?"
"What did you say?" Zhao Yun shouted fiercely: "What are the provisions of our army's military law? Go back and find the military judge yourself!"
"Yes, General!" The colonel was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he was not joking now, but was executing the order. Liu Zhangjun's military discipline and law are the strictest, and the first condition of a soldier is to obey orders and obey orders!
Under the command of Zhao Yun, the five hundred soldiers were divided into five teams and began to search the Sima Mansion. After a while, nothing was found in the east and west wing rooms, including the backyard, and Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown.
"General, we have discovered something!" The soldiers who were searching the hall came to Zhao Yun holding a letter and said: "I found this on the table in the main hall!"
"Huh?" Zhao Yun's heart tightened when he heard this. Hearing Liu Zhang say that Sima Yi's talents were no less than those of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, he already looked up to Sima Yi very highly. If he could predict that Liu Zhang's army would come, he would be extraordinary.
But a genius!
Zhao Yun took the letter, opened it, and saw the letter written: "No matter who you are, you dare to go to Sima's house and act recklessly. I, Sima, will never let you go! Unless you go to the door of Sima's hall now and kowtow.
Ring your head a hundred times and then leave quietly, otherwise the wrath of the God of Fire will come upon you!"
"General, what does this letter mean?" A junior colonel asked, "Why does it seem like a curse?"
"What's in the hall?" Zhao Yun couldn't understand either, so he wanted to analyze it based on the situation in the hall.
"There's nothing?" The principal who took the lead in searching the hall shook his head and said, "Except for some furniture that was not taken away, there is only one big shelf. I don't know what it is for?"
"Big arrogance?" Zhao Yun became more and more confused as he listened. He frowned and said, "Lead the way, I'll go take a look!"
As the primary school student arrived at the hall of Sima Mansion, Zhao Yun immediately felt that something was wrong, because the light in the hall was a bit dark. In order to reflect the magnanimity of the family, even if the aristocratic family did not make it magnificent, it would still be antique and would never be so dark.
"General, let me go in and take a look!" The principal who took the lead in searching the hall did not feel anything strange in the hall at first, but when Zhao Yun led the team, he found that the hall was a bit eerie. The principal, who was a little ashamed of his work attitude,
Immediately take the initiative to ask for help.
"No, there is something fishy here!" Zhao Yun observed the situation with a cold look in his eyes. No aristocratic family would put a shelf in the hall. Even if they worship their ancestors, they would not worship them in the main hall!
"General, look, there seems to be something stuck on the shelf!" A soldier with sharp eyes pointed at the shelf and yelled.
"General, let me go in and take a look!" The deputy general strode towards the shelf, squatted down where the note was posted, looked at it carefully for a long time and said, "General, the hall is too dark and the words on the note are too small to read clearly."
"Then tear it off!" Zhao Yun frowned and had an unknown premonition in his heart.
"No!" the deputy general shouted: "It's too strong, bring me a flint!"
"Slow down!" When a small school was about to bring flint in, Zhao Yun ordered: "The entire army withdraws from Sima Mansion to prevent fraud!"
"General, I'm just lighting a candle, there won't be any problem, right?" Seeing Zhao Yun being so alert, the deputy general was a little puzzled by his caution.
"This is an order from the lord. I need to be more careful. Do you have any opinions?" Seeing the deputy general being so lax, Zhao Yun's face darkened. The deputy general was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and said nothing. When everyone left the Sima Mansion, Zhao Yun nodded to the deputy general and said: "
Light the fire!"
"Bang bang..." The flint collided and sparks flew. Zhao Yun saw through the firelight that there was a small black jar under the shelf. He shouted: "Stop!"
Unfortunately, Zhao Yun shouted too late! The deputy general shook his hand and struck the flint, and a spark fell on the jar. With a bang, the jar exploded! The flames followed the shelf and rushed to the roof. It can be seen that there should be stuffing in the shelf.
Fortunately, gunpowder had not been developed in the Han Dynasty. Even if it had, it could only help the fire, otherwise the lieutenant would not be spared!
Standing outside the mansion, looking at the raging Sima Mansion, the lieutenant general was full of shame. But although he was ashamed, he couldn't tell it anymore. His face was smoked black by the fire. If it weren't for Zhao Yun's loud shout, let
He rolled out violently, and the fire might have swallowed him up.
"Thank you, General, for saving your life!" The deputy general clasped his fists in shame and thanked Zhao Yun.
"Yes!" Zhao Yun said with a smile: "If the lord hadn't reminded me that Sima Yi is no small matter, maybe I would have fallen into his scheme. Fortunately, no one was injured this time, otherwise how could I tell the lord!"
"This Sima Yi really hurt his family..." The principal who was initially punished by Zhao Yun was speechless, with only a look of shock on his face.
"Be more open-minded!" Zhao Yun said with a smile: "What a counselor like Sima Yi is best at is making people unexpected. He does things you don't think of, so you can't guard against them! Leading troops in war is about the lives of the soldiers.
, there is no room for carelessness!”
The principal bowed and said, "Thank you, General, for your teaching!"
"Send the order: withdraw!" Zhao Yun shouted, and three thousand tiger guards immediately gathered.
He came and went faster, and the Hanoi garrison didn't even know what happened, and it was over! Although it was in vain, Zhao Yun saw how powerful Sima Yi was. If they meet on the battlefield in the future, Zhao Yun will definitely be more cautious about him. Of course.
, Zhao Yun didn’t know that if it weren’t for Sima Yi’s father, maybe Sima Yi would have been captured alive by him!
Five days later, Zhao Yun returned to Jinyang and gave Liu Zhang a complete report of Sima Mansion and his party. After hearing what happened to Zhao Yun, Liu Zhang felt a little regretful. However, he did not blame Zhao Yun. After all, if Sima Yi died so easily, he would not be a tiger.
Got it!
One month later, Sima Yi, who moved to Xuchang, also received information. Hearing that Liu Zhang actually sent Zhao Yun to raid Sima's house, Sima Yi was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. If Sima Fang hadn't insisted, the Sima family might have been wiped out! At this time, young Sima Yi
Only then did I understand what it means to have an old man in a family like a treasure! However, this time, the Sima family also became famous. After all, it was the first aristocratic family that offended Liu Zhang but was not exterminated!
Xuchang, Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Boda, your Sima family is really extraordinary!" Cao Cao also had an intelligence agency. He naturally knew about Liu Zhang's military expedition to Hanoi but failed. Being able to escape Liu Zhang's men showed one thing. The Sima family has talents! So,
Cao Cao, who loved talents, immediately called Sima Lang.
"This..." Sima Lang was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"
"Pa..." A piece of information was thrown in front of Sima Lang. Cao Cao laughed and said: "I don't know how the Sima family angered Liu Zhang and was almost wiped out by him. However, being able to escape from Liu Zhang's clutches is considered capable. Look.
There is a great talent coming to the Sima family!"
"Huh..." Sima Lang breathed a long sigh of relief. He had already received an order from Sima Fang to recommend Sima Yi to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao asked this, Sima Lang immediately laughed and said: "The Prime Minister doesn't know, my father has eight sons.
Among them, the second son, named Yi, also named Zhongda, was extremely talented. The Sima family escaped from Liu Zhang's clutches because of his handiwork. Of course, he was also the one who offended Liu Zhang!"
"Oh?" Cao Cao asked with interest: "How did your second brother offend Liu Zhang?"
Sima Lang smiled and said: "Does the Prime Minister know about Liu Zhang's great conspirators Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and the famous Zhou Yu in Jiangdong?"
"Liu Zhang is the enemy of our army. I naturally know the talents under his command!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned and said: "Recently there are rumors that Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Zhou Yu died of serious illness. It can't be you.
My second brother must have done it!"
"Exactly!" Sima Lang said with a smile: "My second brother tricked Xi Zhicai into poisoning Guo Jia, and bribed a soldier of Liu Zhang's army to shoot Zhou Yu with an arrow. Unfortunately, for some reason, Liu Zhang seemed to know that it was my second brother who
This is what my younger brother did, so he angered my Sima family."
"Oh?" Cao Cao asked with a smile: "Boda, from what you said, your second brother seems to be quite intelligent. If so, why did he want to murder Liu Zhang's adviser?"
"This..." Sima Lang hesitated, he smiled awkwardly and said: "Prime Minister, I don't know why!"
"Boda, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it!" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "I really want to know the truth!"
"Alas..." Sima Lang sighed: "Actually, my second brother admires the Prime Minister very much. He originally wanted to use the lives of Guo Jia and the others as a gift to meet him, but unfortunately he failed, so he was embarrassed to come to see the Prime Minister and asked me not to mention him to the Prime Minister!
"
"That's it!" Cao Cao laughed and said, "Boda, let Zhongda come to see me tomorrow. If his talent is as good as you say, I will definitely use him!"
"This..." Sima Lang looked confused and still hesitated.
"That's it!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Boda, don't let me down..."
"I understand..." Sima Lang turned and left without anyone seeing the proud smile on his face!
The next day, under the introduction of Sima Lang, Sima Yi came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet with Cao Cao. Sima Yi was originally a great talent. Although he looked down upon him like a wolf, Cao Cao loved talents and would not care. At most, he was secretly on guard.
After some conversation, Cao Cao confirmed Sima Yi's talent and immediately appointed him as the chief secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this point, Sima Yi became Cao Cao's subordinate...
