Chapter 1749: A flash of inspiration
In addition, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang played chess and lost consecutive games. Although he finally made a move after Zhuge Liang left, he defeated Zhuge Liang, but he didn't know that Zhuge Liang had no backup.
In addition, Sima Yi said proudly to Zhuge Liang that piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are just small ways, and governing the country is the purpose of wise men. In the future, they will definitely see the best and bad things on the battlefield. As a result...
Zhuge Liang is becoming more and more cruel now. Jingxiang blocks Sun Ce and goes north to kill the Huns. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhuge Liang will return to Chang'an, which will break the youngest record of military merits and titles in history!
If he could come back to worship the Taimiao before the New Year, Zhuge Liang would refresh the record of Huo Qubing's 17-year-old military merits. If he came back after the New Year, Zhuge Liang would force Huo Qubing to slap the record.
As for Sima Yi, it would be better not to mention it...
Under such circumstances, how could Sima Yi bow his head and be the second-in-command in Zhuge Liang? He would rather die than bow his head to Zhuge Liang. In Sima Yi's words, his head could only sway left and right back and forth, and it was impossible to lower it.
So Sima Yi refused the errands his father was looking for for him without hesitation, and prepared to continue staying in Chang'an and complete the chaos in Chang'an.
This is what is said about starting and ending. Of course, Sima Yi is at most a strong man now. His heart is really bleeding now. He is the first to step out and establish a country on the edge of the empire. As a bridgehead for going out in the future, it will inevitably be famous in history.
But Sima Yi really couldn't tolerate it. He went to work for Zhuge Liang himself, so he would definitely not be able to bear such things!
Ahhhhh, damn Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi felt that one day he would inevitably fight when he met Zhuge Liang. How many times did this damn guy accidentally cheat him!
[Will I turn my head back? I should be able to suppress Zhuge Liang with the Chen family and Sima family. Should I go back...] Sima Yi felt aching at this moment. He wanted to go back, but he felt that it was too embarrassing, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.
In this way, Sima Yi staggered to endure the pain in his heart and returned to Zhong Yao. At this time, Zhong Yao was devoted to calligraphy, and relied on the charm of Cai Boyi's calligraphy to forcibly diverted his disappointment with Liu Xie.
Seeing this, Sima Yi knew that he could not disturb Zhong Yao. After reading the book, he couldn't see much in his heart. After throwing the book aside, he was quite idle and had to walk in Zhong Yao's courtyard. After a long time, he felt quite bored.
So Sima Yi cleaned up and walked towards the palace with the pass order given to him by Liu Xie. He still planned to meet Liu Xie. Although Liu Xie's degree of death was already high enough in his opinion, but now the matter is not yet irreversible, Sima Yi planned to do his best.
Of course, there is another reason here that what happened before did make Sima Yi feel a little overwhelmed. Now, doing something that was completely unwilling to do before would divert attention, and it would be good to disgust yourself.
At least he disgusted himself far better than Zhuge Liang who didn’t know where he was. He came from a distance to disgusted himself, so Sima Yi came.
Like before, Sima Yi, who held Cao Cao's token and Liu Xie's token, came to Liu Xie's study unimpeded, and now Liu Xie is in the study.
"Your Majesty? I have something important to tell you." Sima Yi said calmly.
"Sima Zhongda, come in. I haven't seen you in a few days recently." Liu Xie said calmly while sitting on the chair.
"A few days ago, Cao Zixiu had supervised his subordinates secretly, and he was really unable to come." Sima Yi came out, but Liu Xie had no way to verify it. He had no doubt about Sima Yi's answer and nodded lightly.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me who proposed to organize the Southern Xiongnu to enter the headquarters of the Xiyuan and the Southern Army?" Sima Yi respectfully said to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie thought he was doing this matter very secretly, but in fact, the wealthy and wise men in Chang'an had already received the news.
This is also the reason why Sima Yi, Zhong Yao, Yang Biao and others were completely desperate. Liu Xie's arrangement of the Southern Xiongnu into the headquarters of the Xiyuan and the Southern Army was really a bad move.
Of course, it seems that this is indeed a pretty good chess path. The Southern Xiongnu had no support and was trapped in the northern border. The emperor had great righteousness and fought for the emperor. The Southern Xiongnu had great righteousness, so they did not have to be trapped in the north of Bingzhou.
In addition, the Han Dynasty was extremely powerful, and the Southern Xiongnu could not have any big thoughts, which also suppressed the backlash of the Southern Xiongnu.
Just like when Liu Xie withdrew from Li Jue's control in history, he issued an edict to ask the Southern Xiongnu to come to help. Liu Qubei, the Right King of the Southern Xiongnu, and Liu Bao, the Zuo Xianwang, both signed an edict to come, but the two of them were more to loot according to the order rather than protecting the emperor.
Even in the end, the only one who went to protect the enemy was to rob the whole way. Liu Qubei, the King of Youxian, was already satisfied. As for Liu Bao, the King of Zuoxian, after robbing most of Sili, he turned his head back to his hometown and ignored Liu Xie at all. For them, obeying the order was just a righteousness, and what he did depends on whether the master had enough strength.
At present, Liu Xie really needs a soldier of his own, and Liu Xie chose the Southern Xiongnu who needed "righteousness", and the two sides almost met.
After all, for Liu Xie, as long as he controls the world, the materials currently granted to the Southern Xiongnu are nothing, and the Southern Xiongnu are just barbarians who surrender. At that time, he must get out of the Central Plains with his orders. Otherwise, the world will attack them in groups, and they will not be as big as Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Cao Cao before.
It can be said that in Liu Xie's view, using barbarians without foundation such as the Southern Xiongnu is far more at ease than using the Han generals in the Central Plains.
However, in Sima Yi's opinion, this was a complete extermination from the world and led the Southern Xiongnu to the south. This was never a problem for the Han Dynasty. After all, the Southern Xiongnu were kneeling at the feet of the Han Dynasty, and there was no problem as a servant army.
The problem is that Liu Xie did not control the Southern Xiongnu at all. Liu Xie's so-called way of leading the Southern Xiongnu to go south was completely different from that of Yuan Shao's way of leading the Hu people from the north.
After Liu Xie wrote an edict, he let himself go and waited for the Southern Xiongnu to come to Chang'an to listen to him obediently. Yuan Shao's original method was to recruit soldiers. You either come or die. During this period, you dared to commit any violation of Yuan's military discipline and behead him directly.
Liu Xie did not have such power. Liu Xie led the Southern Xiongnu to the south to only one edict, and one edict to give justice to the Southern Xiongnu.
Sima Yi dared to bet that the Southern Xiongnu Huchuquan Shanyu would definitely go south after receiving this edict, but the way he went south was absolutely not clean.
It is almost inevitable to kill, burn and loot all the way. Even the Zhengguo Canal and Liufu Canal that Li Jue and Zhong Yao had worked hard to rebuilt, and the main forces of Yongliang were almost taken away by Cao Cao. The remaining troops were basically in the south, while the north was almost empty.
Such a completely unresisting method will completely allow the Southern Xiongnu who were ordered to go south to enter the state of bandits, and they will definitely kill, burn, loot and do evil deeds along the way.
As they headed south like this, the people north of Chang'an might not know that hundreds of thousands of people would die. After Chang'an, the Southern Xiongnu Huchuquan, who had already understood the situation, must not respect Liu Xie much. Although they would disobey the strength of the Han Dynasty and the princes, if they had to say what Liu Xie asked him to do, they would never do it without any benefit.
Of course, it would be fine if it was just that. The Southern Xiongnu went south was obviously a plan by someone. In the battle between Han and Hu in northern Youzhou, the Hu people in the northern part of the Hu people, except for the Southern Xiongnu and the Qiang people who had already begun to be transformed under the command of Ma Chao, the other Hu tribes had completely perished.
The Qiang people had nothing to say, they had the same ancestor as the Han people and agreed to be in the Chinese way, and they would be able to be assimilated soon.
That is to say, there is only one true foreign tribe left in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, that is, the Southern Xiongnu. Although the Southern Xiongnu had bowed their heads and surrendered, they still have a certain degree of independence.
This independence is no different from being completely surrendered when the Han Dynasty was strong. However, if the Han Dynasty declines one day, this independence will make the Southern Xiongnu covet the Han Dynasty. At present, the northern border has reached this level. Sima Yi completely disbelief of the people behind the scenes. He would let the Southern Xiongnu stay in the northern border.
However, in order to destroy the Southern Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty now lacks a reason. You must know that even in the previous battle between the Han and the Huns, the Northern Xiongnu brought almost all the miscellaneous Hus, but only one tribe did not move, so the hatred between the Southern Xiongnu, the Northern Xiongnu and the Southern Xiongnu could not be reconciled at all.
In this way, after the Northern Huns were defeated, the Southern Huns were retained, so that the Southern Huns were only one foreign tribe left in the entire northern border. Sima Yi did not believe that the person behind the scenes would not have any thoughts about the Southern Huns.
So Sima Yi was guessing how the Southern Xiongnu would die. Before he could guess it, Liu Xie issued an edict to summon the Southern Xiongnu to the court to fill the Xiyuan and the Southern Army. In an instant, Sima Yi understood how the last Hu people in the north, the Southern Xiongnu, would die.
The Southern Xiongnu, who came under the order, thought they had great justice and could not avoid killing, burning, looting, but in the current situation of Liu Caosun, no matter whether you came under the order or not. As long as there are foreign tribes who dared to kill, burning, looting, and looting in the Han Dynasty, they had already destroyed the entire northern Hu people, and they would not mind that there were more than one million slaves in their hands!
The Southern Xiongnu are just ghosts. Even if the more than one million people of the Southern Xiongnu are replaced by the Northern Xiongnu, there will be only a dead end against this three-way army. After the battle, the northern border will not be left with any hidden dangers.
Therefore, Sima Yi and others admired the people behind the scenes to completely eliminate the chaos in the northern border, and on the other hand, they lamented that Liu Xie was ruining his own country.
To be honest, as long as Liu Xie does not commit suicide and Liu Bei keeps his promise, even if Liu Xie cannot take power, he can still be the emperor for a lifetime. Then he will pass the throne to Liu Bei's descendants. The Han family's world is still the Han family's world.
Now, the edict to summon the Southern Xiongnu to the south. When the incident in the north occurs, the three sides will beat the Southern Xiongnu. Liu Xie may be attacked by wealthy families and famous scholars from all over the world!
This method of saving money by saying a lot is a problem whether Liu Xie's throne can be maintained in this era. It is even impossible for Liu Xie to commit suicide by being forced to commit suicide by everyone's words.
Such methods are vicious and vicious, and there is no way to survive. They are completely forcing Liu Xie to death. In the end, the beneficiary must be Liu Bei without saying much.
[I am really curious, if Liu Xie dies, how would Liu Bei choose? If he doesn't proclaim himself emperor, or if he shirks his responsibility and accepts the throne?] The moment Sima Yi lowered his head, he couldn't help but think, [If Liu Xie dies and Liu Bei becomes emperor, in some cases, I should have won. I don't believe that Chen Zichuan and Zhuge Kongming can't see the chain of interests.]
The moment this thought came out, Sima Yi instantly wiped it out, but this thought seemed to have been completely rooted in Sima Yi's heart.
"It was not anyone's suggestion, but I thought of it myself." Liu Xie looked a little proud, and even he admired the inspiration he had generated in that moment.
Sima Yi was stunned, silent for a while, and said, "I wonder where Your Majesty thought of this method?"
"It's in the study." Liu Xie said proudly. He didn't rely on anyone for this strategy, he really just thought about it.
Seeing Liu Xie's expression, Sima Yi was sure that the other party did not say anything, and couldn't help but feel a little headache. If it was really the plan the other party thought of, then Liu Xie would be exhausted.
"Zhongda doesn't believe it, come and see." Liu Xie was in a very good mood now and immediately called Sima Yi to come beside him. He saw a map on the table. It was the map where the Southern Xiongnu received the order of the Han emperor in the Battle of the Later Tianshan Mountains and cooperated with the attack on the Northern Xiongnu.
"This is a map of the Battle of Tianshan. Where did Your Majesty find it?" Sima Yi could tell at a glance, but he didn't think there was anything good about it.
"On the bookshelf." Liu Xie said with a smile, "It is this map that reminds me that I know that I am not without soldiers."
Sima Yi's brows were almost twisted into a knot. All this seemed like an accident, but he always felt that something was wrong. To be honest, even if Liu Xie saw the map of the Post-Tiantian Mountain, it was basically impossible for him to start the Southern Xiongnu.
But it is basically impossible, which means there is still a possibility, that is, Liu Xie may have really seen this map and an unintentional flash of inspiration.
"Since it was your Majesty who thought about it himself, I'm thinking too much." Sima Yi thought about it carefully, and even made an action of touching the map accidentally, and finally confirmed that there was no problem. [It seems that he is really exhausted.]
At this moment, Sima Yi accidentally saw a eunuch tidying up the bookshelf and placing the books at will. It was obvious that this was a eunuch who could not read. Sima Yi suddenly asked without any thoughts, "Your Majesty, what book are you reading recently?"
"Books about the Southern Xiongnu." Liu Xie said naturally.
