Just as the Sichuan Army captured Chang'an, the Cao army retreated to the Central Plains, and countless northern tribes quietly sent their families to Hanoi, the Zhen family, the Sima family, the Pang family, the Zhuge family and other large families in the southeast, west and northwest gathered together.
"Now that Cao's army is defeated, the Sichuan army is in full swing, Sima Zhongda's world-class genius is enough to fight with Sichuan army's military advisor Huang Yueying. Is it time to come out?"
Pang Degong said to Sima Hui. Sima Hui glanced at the old man next to him. Sima Hui was the leader of the Sima family in the south. The old man was the leader of the Sima family in the Central Plains. The old man nodded slightly.
Zhuge Ci sat upright and said nothing. Zhuge Liang betrayed his family and even killed Zhuge Qing, a son of the same clan, with the hands of the Xianbei people, which made him very embarrassed.
"But Cao Cao was defeated so miserably, and his elite troops were lost. Now the Guanzhong Sichuan Army has reached 700,000. This is a force to sweep the world. Even if Zhongda comes out of the mountain, how can he use his own strength to defeat the Great Wall?"
The old man of the Zhen family looked anxious. His words resonated with some aristocratic races, and they nodded worriedly.
"Hahahaha." Sima Hui laughed: "Who said Zhongda only has one power?"
Sima Hui looked around everyone: "Does the butchers in Yizhou dominate the world and only harm our Sima family? You are gathered here today. Are you just here to listen to what decisions our Sima family has?
If you want to say that you can turn the tide, even ten Sima Zhongdas may not be able to do it. However, with your help, even without Sima Zhongda, you can still defeat Liu Zhang. Zhongda is just your spokesperson. The person standing at the front desk isn't it?
, Zhongda.”
Sima Hui looked at Sima Yi sitting behind him. Sima Yi was about twenty-six or seven years old, sitting quietly on the straw mat, with his head hanging down and his eyelids lowered, and he had an old-fashioned temperament.
"Zhongda.Zhongda."
Sima Hui shouted a few times, but Sima Yi did not react at all. A young man next to him quickly pushed Sima Yi with his elbow. Sima Yi woke up and looked around blankly.
"Third brother, have you finished the discussion? Then go back to have a meal." Sima Yi was about to get up after he said that.
The third brother Sima Fu pulled Sima Yi down and said anxiously: "What food should I eat? Mr. Shuijing is calling you."
Sima Hui was full of dissatisfaction, and Mr. Pang De, Mr. Zhen and others frowned. Zhuge Ci looked at his eyes and nose, and thought to himself, hum, it seems that this talented man in your family is not very obedient. Zhuge Ci found a little balance in his heart.
.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Sima Yi knocked on his forehead, tried hard to open his sleepy eyes, and moved towards Sima Hui: "To conceive Liu Da's plan last night, I slept late and only slept for less than half an hour.
It's a sin to fall asleep at this time. Mr. Shuijing, Sima Yi kowtowed to you."
Sima Yi was like a living creature who was lazy as a pile of rotten meat. A boneless meat worm climbed in front of Sima Hui completely regardless of his image and was about to kowtow. Sima Hui quickly raised his hand: "Okay. OK, since Zhongda is for the idea
To ask for Liu Da’s plan, it’s understandable. Just tell me what you thought of to ask for Liu Da’s plan."
"Same as Mr. Shuijing thought."
Sima Hui nodded: "It seems that Zhongda also agrees with my plan. My plan is very simple. From today on, from now on, all the aristocratic families will unite and do all their financial, material and manpower to strengthen Cao Cao.
You just said that Cao Cao was defeated in Chang'an and was in a slump. Liu Zhang's army reached 700,000 and swept the world. Humph, if Liu Zhang was not so stubborn, cruel and bloodthirsty, and respected us meritorious officials and generals, then he would indeed swept the world.
However, Liu Zhang forgot his clan several times. The aristocratic family is not only inherited by the founders of the Han Dynasty, but also the pillar of the Han Dynasty's maintenance. They were actually killed. Even if we don't do our own good, for the Han Dynasty and for the people of the world to avoid the massacre of Sichuan Army. We must make every effort.
.
Cao Cao was defeated and his army was destroyed. Now Cao Cao has only four main forces, including 30,000 Hangu Pass, 30,000 Wancheng Zhangliao, 40,000 Shouchun Xu Huang, 50,000 Youzhou Yujin, 50,000, which is a total of 150,000
People are less than one-fifth of Liu Zhang's front-line troops.
But with our help, as long as we have money, food and call, everyone thinks that Cao Cao will arm 300,000 troops within one year, 600,000 troops in two years, and 800,000 troops in a few years, a few years later. What difficulties will it be?
”
"How much does it cost us?" said a representative of a family member with heartache.
This time, Cao Cao sent troops to Guanzhong. The so-called levy of all land, grain and grass refers to the taxes of civilians, the taxes of military camps, the food and grass of families such as Cao family, Xiahou family, Xun family, etc., for other large families.
, he easily transferred the tax to the lower-class farmers, and basically suffered no losses.
However, Sima Hui said that he would arm Cao Cao with 300,000 troops, 600,000 troops, and 800,000 troops, which would consume his own strength.
An army, military uniforms, military pay, military rations, weapons, weapons maintenance and replacement, as well as those who join the army, are all the blood of the aristocratic races. Who can not feel sorry for it?
Seeing that representatives of several aristocratic families were very caring, Sima Hui said seriously: "Everyone, I know you don't want to, right, I, Sima Hui, are also wondering, why should we help Cao Cao, but if we don't support Cao Cao,
When Liu Zhang sank the Central Plains and sweeps the world, even if we want to help, we can't help. Please don't hesitate at this critical moment."
"I don't feel sorry for the money, grain and manpower." Mr. Zhen pondered: "Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, is indeed very sure to support him to defeat Liu Zhang.
But have you ever thought about it? Cao Cao is indeed very good compared to Liu Zhang, but was Cao Cao a good person? Have you forgotten how Cao Cao treated our aristocratic family when he became the overlord of the Central Plains? How many famous families were destroyed?
Regarding the most famous scholars in the world, who didn’t Cao Cao kill him just by saying that he would kill him? Did Cao Cao take us, the heroes of the Han Dynasty, seriously?
When we have the strength, Cao Cao doesn't take our children seriously. When we hand over all the money, grain and manpower, when our strength is exhausted and Cao Cao expands, he won't take us seriously, right?
Compared with Liu Zhang, Cao Cao was a crazy wolf, and he bit everyone he saw, while the former was also a ungrateful wolf, and he turned against others. Don’t wait to defeat Liu Zhang. Cao Cao dominated the world, but we were bullied by Cao Cao. That was not meat cake feeding.
Dog?"
"Yes, yes." All representatives of the aristocratic races agreed.
"Hahahaha." Sima Hui suddenly laughed heartily, and everyone stared at him in a daze. Sima Hui pulled Sima Yi, who was about to fall asleep next to him.
"This is Zhongda's role. Everyone knows Zhongda's talent. It is definitely not under Huang Yueying, the reason why we launched Zhongda is not entirely because we want Zhongda to fight Huang Yueying, the most important thing is to let Zhongda fight Huang Yueying.
Zhongda held the power of Cao's army.
Our money, grain and manpower will not be handed over directly to Cao Cao, but will all be transferred from Zhongda to Cao Cao, and it represents the meaning of all our aristocratic families, forcing Cao Cao to reuse Zhongda and push Zhongda to the top step by step.
As long as Zhongda holds absolute power in Cao's army, even if Cao Cao defeats Liu Zhang, can Cao Cao take action against us? I'm afraid that at that time, even if Cao Cao was a treacherous hero, he would have to care about the consequences of offending us, right?"
"Hehe, hehe." Sima Yi nodded to everyone. He smiled a few times with a twitching face, expressing his approval of Sima Hui's words.
Everyone nodded and said yes, and finally felt relieved.
When everyone left, there were two heads of Zhuge Ci, Mr. Zhen, Sima family, and five other people.
Sima Hui bowed to Zhuge Ci and Pang Degong. He hoped to gain support from the Pang family's Sima family, but because of Pang Tong's betrayal, Zhuge Liang killed the family's children and defected to the Hu people. Sima Yi was about to become a success and gathered thousands of favors.
Sima Hui's etiquette towards Zhuge Ci and Pang Degong already had a sense of top to bottom.
Zhuge Ci Pang Degong couldn't stand Sima Hui's pride, but he also knew that if he didn't get along with the Sima family at this time, he would have to be destroyed by Liu Zhang. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only compromise.
Sima Hui turned to Mr. Zhen and said, "There were so many people just now, but now we are the ones who know everything. I just said it.
Let Sima Yi take power is not the ultimate goal. Cao Cao is as arrogant as Liu Zhang, and he will definitely not be able to help him. We will use Cao Cao first, but at the same time we also need to find an agent.
According to Chen Qun of the Chen family, Wu Zhi's return from the Wu family, Cao Pi, the second son of Cao Cao, was also a benevolent and loyal king. He knew how to respect the virtuous and respect the virtuous and the inferior, and he was quite close to the aristocratic race.
Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang died long ago, and Cao Pi was Cao Cao's legal successor, but Cao Cao's third son Cao Zhang was extremely brave and commanded the army at a young age. This time he saved Cao Cao in Chang'an and was definitely valued.
The fourth son Cao Zhi was twelve years old. Cai inherited Cao Cao, and the possibility of succession to the throne could not be ruled out. The seventh son Cao Chong was extremely smart. Everyone knew that Cao Chong's deeds of becoming the elephant two years ago were definitely a major concern for Cao Pi to succeed to the throne.
What I mean is to support Cao Cao first, wait until Cao Cao stabilizes the situation and replace Cao Cao with Cao Pi. Our current task is to teach Cao Pi to realize the importance of our aristocratic race to the country, not to go astray, and then seize power.
Our opponents are not only Liu Zhang, but also Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Mr. Zhen. The future is difficult and can we work together?"
The Zhen family is the first family in Hebei, and its power cannot be underestimated. However, Sima Hui is so focused on discussing with Mr. Zhen, not because of his strength, but because of Zhen’s Zhen family, Zhen Mi, is now favored by Cao Pi, and is called the side room, but it is actually a righteous person.
room.
If you support Cao Pi, Mr. Zhen will be from the same camp.
Cao Pi inherited Cao Cao's position, and the Zhen family naturally became successful. Sima Hui took the initiative to ask for support from Cao Pi. How could Mr. Zhen not agree to such a good thing? He nodded repeatedly.
After seeing off Mr. Zhen, Zhuge Ci, Pang Degong and others, Sima Hui snorted coldly, turned to Sima Yi, who was ignorant, and said, "Zhongda, we have paved enough roads for you, and all the aristocratic races in the world will fight against Liu Zhang,
In order to ensure that you are not persecuted by Cao Cao, I will support you with all my might.
The world's money, food, manpower must be entered into Cao's camp through you, and your status will reach its peak without any suspense.
The Zhen family and other families who support Cao Pi will support you with all their strength. As long as you gain Cao Cao’s trust first, overthrow Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You, support Cao Pi to take office, then take charge of the court and overthrow the Cao family, the world is our Sima family.
It's right.
The Sima family has been a century-old clan. Since God has made the great man chaotic, he will take Li from the fire as a hero. This is a god-given opportunity for the rise of our Sima family, Zhongda."
Sima Hui patted Sima Yi on the shoulder: "Whether the Sima family can win the world and become the leader of the aristocratic families in the world depends on you."
"Yeah." Sima Yi nodded fiercely. At this moment, Sima Yi's eyes were no longer confused and extremely firm. Sima Hui finally felt relieved when he saw Sima Yi like this. He went in and had tea with Mr. Sima.
Sima Yi walked to the garden as if nothing had happened. The third brother Sima Fu followed up and said with a worried look: "Second brother, do we really want to support Cao Pi and overthrow the Cao regime? Why do I feel unsure?"
"Haha." Sima Yi smiled stiffly, his eyes full of contempt. He was not against Sima Fu, not against Cao, but against the person who said he wanted to overthrow the Cao regime.
Sima Yi walked to the pavilion, and there were chess pieces on the chessboard in the middle. Sima Yi grabbed a handful and said softly: "The world is like a chess game, and everyone in the world is all chess pieces, but everyone in the world thinks they are the ones who control chess pieces.
Cao Cao took Wudang chess pieces under his command, and everyone treated Cao Cao as chess pieces by aristocratic family, Sima family regarded Cao Pi as chess pieces by aristocratic family, and Sima Hui regarded Cao Pi as chess pieces by aristocratic family, and Sima Yi as chess pieces by aristocratic family, Humph, everyone is a chess piece, whoever uses it will not be able to
It's certain."
"Second brother, what did you say?" Sima Fu was stunned when he looked at Sima Yi who was talking to himself.
"Third brother." Sima Yi looked at this brother who had been close to him since childhood, acted cautiously, did not like to show off, had no ambitions, and held Sima Fu's shoulders.
"Third brother, remember, I, you, and everyone in the world are chess pieces, no one can control anyone, if you want to live a better life, stand higher, and make others look at you with admiration, there is only one way to follow
Current situation.
Those who know the times are heroes, act against the heavens, punish the earth, and the general trend is all the way. Today, someone uses us. As long as it is good for us, we will let them use it. If there is no benefit one day, it will be no effort to kick it away.
”
Sima Fu nodded in a vague way.
Sima Yi stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. Now the Sima family wants to use themselves to make the Sima family prosperous. This is not harmful to him. Instead, it is his greatest opportunity to create heroes in the times and be selected by current affairs as a hero. It is not every time.
Things that can happen to everyone.
Sima Yi cherishes this very much.
But what overthrew Cao Cao, what overthrew Guo Jia, what supported Cao Pi, what overthrew Cao family.
Sima Yi never thought about it. These may not be what he wanted. Of course, Sima Yi also wanted to stand at the top, but Sima Yi's purpose in life is to follow the trend.
Those who have nothing are very empty, who knows what will happen in the future?
As long as the general trend is in the process of overthrowing Cao Cao, overthrow Guo Jia, supporting Cao Pi, and overthrow the Cao family, it will be natural. If there is no such general trend, Sima Yi would not have any idea.
