"Young Master, this is my second brother Sima Yi, and my third brother Sima Fu..." Sima Lang solemnly introduced the two brothers to Gai Yi. When he went on an outing in Longshan last summer, he happened to meet Gai Yi who was on a safari. Both of them thought that they had differences with each other.
, they stopped and chatted for a while. At that time, Gai Yi’s mind, words and deeds were no different from those of Cheng Ren, which left a deep impression on Sima Lang, so he did not dare to treat him like a child.
Sima Lang is eight feet tall, handsome and graceful, while Sima Yi and Sima Fu have horns on their heads, which means that they are not yet fifteen years old, but they have grown to over six feet, which even ordinary boys with tied hair cannot reach.
Standing tall, both of them have faces as thick as crowns, eyebrows as thick as paint, and eyes as cold as stars. They are absolutely beautiful young men, which makes people sigh with emotion for the excellent pedigree of the Sima family in Hanoi.
"Sima Yi, Sima Yi..." Gai Yi glanced past Sima Fu and looked at Sima Yi. Although the two had never met, this person was not unfamiliar to him because he was so talented.
"name".
His father, Gai Jun, admired him very much and had intended to take him into his residence last year. You must know that Gai Jungui was a hussar general and a state shepherd. He was extremely powerful and valued by him, and his future prospects were limitless. However, surprisingly, in
With the acquiescence of his eldest brother Sima Lang, last year, the twelve-year-old Sima Yi actually refused and refused the olive branch offered by Gai Jun without hesitation. This made him the focus of discussions among Jinyang people after dinner.
.
Gai Jun never forgot about Sima Yi. He often mentioned him in his daily life and praised him as the most talented young man in Hebei Province. Gai Jun could hear Sima Yi's ears ringing.
While Gai Yi looked at Sima Yi, the latter was also sizing him up quietly. The most talked about person in Jinyang City recently was undoubtedly the young master of Bingzhou who was pushed to the front by Hussar General Gai Jun when he was less than ten years old.
Officials in Hebei who have met him all say: Although he is young, he is good at both civil and military affairs. He treats others with courtesy and has a fatherly manner.
However, if he were the eldest son, everyone would be happy to have Gai Jun's successor, but he was born as a commoner. What's more terrible is that his mother was from a humble background and was a singer. In this era where family background trumps all else, this flaw is fatal. Yuan Shao
After working hard for decades to cultivate his reputation, he finally became the leader of the scholars and the leader of the alliance, and Yuan Shu was still able to compete with him. This is his background.
Gai Jun's direct son Gai Mo is only two years younger than Gai Yi. His mother Cai Wan is the daughter of the powerful Chenliu clan, his maternal grandfather Cai Yonggui is a great scholar in the world, his maternal grandmother is from the Yuan family of Chen State, and his aunt is the daughter of the Taiyang clan, and is even related to the three families.
The closely related Guandong nobles, these relationships are his most solid backing. Gaimo does not need to be amazingly talented, as long as he behaves well and does not make big mistakes, everything Gaijun will have in the future will be his.
Therefore, even if Gai Yi steps up to the front desk and has outstanding talent, not many people in Bingzhou think highly of him.
"This is Guo Boji, the eldest son of Guo Yanmen. My father is very talented and has kept him by his side..." Gai Yi briefly introduced Guo Huai beside him to the three Sima brothers. After that, he gave Sima Yi a meaningful look,
Obviously it means something.
Sima Yi smiled freely. In a few days, he will be fourteen years old. He has a long face. This smile shows the suave and charming young man. The young master of Bingzhou in front of him is indeed as his brother said, wise and scheming.
Not shallow. He is not yet ten years old. Thinking about what he looked like when he was nine years old, Sima Yi secretly shook his head, thinking that he was worthy of being hailed as a "child prodigy". It was really scary...
Later, Gai Yi invited Brother Sima into the door and said as he walked: "Cui Xihe just came for a visit, and now my father is chatting with him in the study. He may not have time to meet Brother Sima at the moment. How about I take the three of you for a walk?..."
"Then I'll trouble you, young master..." Sima Lang nodded and clasped his fists. The county level is headed by Gongcao, followed by Wuguanbu, and then the Postal Supervisor, known as the three major officials of the county. Sima Lang is currently the Postal Supervisor of Taiyuan County.
Of course, Taiyuan is considered to be a high-ranking official, but if he gets the entire Bingzhou, it is not worth mentioning. Now that Zhengdan is approaching, there are two thousand stones in all directions, and there are many generals visiting the Hussars General's Mansion. It stands to reason that with Sima Lang's status, he has no chance to see them.
He came to Gai Jun, but he had an old relationship with Gai Jun, but he was different from others.
Gai Yi led a few people to a certain courtyard by a familiar road, and heard the sound of a debate in the distance. The person talking was Er Yuan from Guandong. Gai Yi didn't stop at that moment, and walked straight in through the door. There were more than twenty people in the hall.
The young men all stopped talking and turned to look. Among these people, there were Ma Chao, Fu Qian, Wang Can, Wei Zhongdao and others who usually lived in the mansion, as well as the second generation of Bingzhou like Gai Yi and Guo Huai, such as
Gai Heng, son of Gai Guan, Guan Ping, son of Guan Yu, Huang Xu, son of Huang Zhong, Wang Xu, nephew of Wang Xin of Biejia, Li Xi, son of Li Mo of Zhizhong, etc. There is no doubt that the most outstanding young talents in Hebei are gathered here.
.
"Young Master..." Seeing Gai Yi arriving, all the young men stood up one after another to greet him.
There was no childishness in Gai Yi's body, and his behavior was very grand. He signaled to everyone that there was no need to be polite and introduced them to both parties. After that, he walked to the main seat and sat down naturally. None of the young people thought it was inappropriate. Gai Yi held the desk with his hand.
He leaned forward slightly and asked Fu Qiandao: "Brother Fu, what were you talking about just now?"
Fu Qian and Gai Yi's relationship was like that of family members. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Two Yuan, we will talk about the dispute between the two Yuan later."
Gai Yi smiled lightly and said, "Oh? Then you can continue talking without worrying about me."
"..." Fu Gan nodded and made a gesture of invitation to Li Xi, "Brother Li, please continue."
Li Xun was eighteen years old, just over seven feet tall, with regular facial features and eyes as bright as paint. He had a calm and unhurried demeanor, which was very similar to his famous scholar father, Li Mo, who was in charge of the governor. He was the third son of Li Mo, and he was talented.
But it is a well-deserved first place. Li Xi continued his unfinished words: "This year, Yuan Cheqi was completely defeated in Yuzhou on the southern route, just because Gongsun was in Jizhou. Now Gongsun is running north, Yuan Cheqi has nothing to worry about, and he will definitely win next year
Stretch your hand into Qingzhou."
Wang Xu looked around and said: "Gongsun Zan defeated Jizhou and went to Youdong. Just when everyone thought that he would be unable to recover, he suddenly merged with western Liaoning and Liaodong belonged to the country. His strength did not decrease but increased. Then he advanced eastward and waited until he defeated Gongsun Du.
Crossing the sea into Qingzhou and reinforcing Tian Kai, the two sides will fight again." Wang Xu is Wang Xin's nephew. He is of medium height and handsome. Looking at his eloquent appearance, it is difficult to imagine that he faced Gai in the past.
Junshi, he didn't even have the courage to speak.
Wang Can said: "After all, the sea route is not as good as the land route. Gongsun Zan can have limited influence on Qingzhou. In my opinion, Yuan Chaqi has to worry more about Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Tao Qian."
Everyone knows about Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, not to mention the former. Yuan Shao took advantage of the latter's outing to attack Yuzhou and almost turned Sun Jian into a lonely ghost. The hatred was irreconcilable. But as for Tao Qian, what reason did he have to go there?
Muddy water?
Wang Can explained: "Tao Qian was the governor of Xuzhou and suffered deeply from the Qingxu Yellow Turbans. His two victories against the Yellow Turbans initially determined the overall situation of Xuzhou. Sun Jian's general Zhu Zhi contributed a lot. Moreover, Tao and Sun were both from Yangzhou. In the past,
In the year of Han Sui, Bian Zhang rebelled against Luan, both of whom joined the army under the command of Taiwei Zhang Wen. Sijiao was unusual. In addition, Tao Qian was once the governor of Youzhou and had an old relationship with Gongsun Zan. Nowadays, the dispute between the two Yuan Dynasties in the Central Plains is raging, and Tao Qian is
Among them, it is absolutely impossible to stay out of it. Only by joining one side can you protect yourself. If it is either one or the other, Tao Qian will naturally choose Yuan or Sun."
The young men started a heated debate based on whether Tao Qian would intervene in Qingzhou and the consequences of the intervention. It was not until the voice gradually decreased and weakened that Fu Gan slowly said: "Whether it is Sun Jian's character or his behavior after retaking Yuzhou,
Judging from what he has done, he is not a person who will be at the mercy of Yuan Shu. Instead of guessing that he will attack Qingzhou, which is not bordering Yuzhou, or Yanzhou, which is nominally owned by Yuan Cheqi, I think he will attack Yangzhou in the south.
…”
Sima Yi, who had been nodding and lowering his eyebrows, suddenly lit up, and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Fu Qian.
Fu Qian continued: "As I said, Qingzhou and Yuzhou are not adjacent to each other. They are enclaves. Sun Jian sent troops to Qingzhou. Even if he defeated Qingzhou, he could not hurt Yuan Cheqi's muscles and bones, let alone stop Yuan Cheqi's counterattack.
.However, Liu Dai attached his name to Yuan Chaqi and actually formed his own faction. Sun Jian's rash attack on Yanzhou was tantamount to pushing Liu Dai completely to Yuan Shao's side, and the gain outweighed the loss."
"Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with a vast expanse of plains. It can be attacked but cannot be defended. Once defeated, it will be a dead end. What Sun Jian urgently needs to solve now is to find a space for maneuver before Yuan Cheqi goes south in a big way. The northern part of Yuzhou
Yanzhou, Sili Luoyang to the west, Jingzhou to the southwest, and Xuzhou to the east were all undesirable, so only Yangzhou was left. In the summer, brothers Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, and Zhou Ang, the prefect of Jiujiang, helped their younger brothers to seize Yuzhou.
, the governor Chen Wen acquiesced. It’s just right, there’s no need to make excuses.”
"If you go to Yangzhou, you can completely get rid of Yuan Shu's control. I don't believe Sun Jian can't see this. Even if he can't see it, his subordinates will remind him. If Yu wants to rise in this troubled world, Yangzhou is the only way out.
.”
"Tian Kai is already struggling to deal with Cao Mengde. Once Yuan Cheqi sends his troops across the river, he will undoubtedly die. Qingzhou is already in Yuan Cheqi's pocket. As for Yanzhou, when Gongsun Zan is around, Yuan Cheqi may tolerate Liu Dai
His words are duplicitous and his words are contrary to his true intentions. Next year, if Liu Dai dares to do this again, he will be seeking death..."
Fu Qian gave a long talk and analyzed the general trend of the Central Plains incisively and vividly. The whole room was silent and there was no sound.
At this time, Sima Yi could not only admire him, but also admire him. He was worthy of being a young prodigy who persuaded his father to be stupid in his country at the age of twelve. When he saw the right way, he helped the world to benefit the world. At the age of seventeen, he entered the palace of the Hussars General as a subordinate. Such a vision,
It's quite astonishing. At least Sima Yi was of the same age as Shao Shao, and he was smart and resourceful. He always thought highly of himself, but his thoughts were not as thorough as Fu Qian's.
It is true that Fu Qiantian is a genius, but it is also related to the fact that he has been following the hussar general Gai Jun all year round. After all, discernment cannot be acquired by staying at home.
