Chapter 1817 The Quiet Before the Storm
Sima Yi, who is studying hard now, naturally doesn't know that the wife of Zhang Chunhua, who gave birth to Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and Princess Nanyang, was now being brought into the trap by Ji Xiang. Tianlai Novel | 2
The same female commandments are the core of the thoughts taught by different people. The so-called Six Classics are me, and I am observing the Six Classics. The guy who can stand at the peak of all walks of life is naturally impossible to be a parallel person. Ji Xiang's female commandments are naturally also inevitably mixed with his own thoughts.
As I said at the beginning, all human cognitions are biased. The so-called closeness and distant feelings are destined to be impossible to be impartial. Man Chong’s spiritual talent is said to be in accordance with the law and impartial, but it is inevitable to be favored by Liu Ye. To be precise, this kind of thing is inevitable.
In addition, Zhang Chunhua was young, although he was a little independent and intelligent, his mind was not essentially the kind of righteousness of the magnificent road. If he had good teachers' education, he could not be able to harmonize yin and yang and take a relatively square path.
However, characters like Ji Xiang are not considered grand in any era. As the master of Xuanyuan, she abandoned some things because of her educational methods, which led to her moral concept of right and wrong being much lighter than that of normal people.
If a person who is close to his state and ignores the constraints of morality and reason, he will be able to see a ghost if he can be the same as a normal person.
Of course, Zhang Chunhua, who was originally a little dark in nature, couldn't help but tilt to the side under Ji Xiang's education. After all, it's the same learning. The same thing is obviously easier to learn from Ji Xiang than to learn from other teachers. So why not learn from Ji Xiang?
Naturally, Zhang Chunhua, who was born with intelligence, consciously chose Ji Xiang's education method because there is really no education, which is more suitable for her than Ji Xiang's darker style.
Sima Yi, who was inexplicably ordering the army, was in training, suddenly wet his clothes on his back with cold sweat, and then his head was involuntarily scanning left and right. Fa Zheng, who was eating on the side, looked at Sima Yi's head with interest and turned exaggeratedly.
"Zhongda, what's wrong with you?" Fa Zheng looked at Sima Yi with interest and asked, "Why do I feel like you are suddenly frightened?"
"I don't know what happened, I just feel like a disaster is coming." Sima Yi had a rare look of panic on his face. He really felt a kind of malice coming.
"Ha?" Fa Zheng couldn't help but smile in his eyes because of Sima Yi's panic. "I don't know if you are afraid, but I think your head turned around just now is a bit terrifying and ridiculous."
Sima Yi turned dark when he heard this, but seeing that this was what Fa Zheng said, he did not argue too much. The other party must have strength and ability. Over the past period of time, Sima Yi and Fa Zheng kept communicating, and then he realized that what this young man who was only three years older than him was so horrifying that what he learned made him.
Originally, Sima Yi thought the other party was only proficient in military strategy, but the exchanges during this period surprised him. The other party's military strategy made him amazed. Other aspects such as political strategy, scheduling, planning, and farming for the people, these types that were not good at in the other party's words, seemed to be underestimated in Sima Yi's opinion.
This made Sima Yi's original idea of gesture dissipate most of it, of course, it was mainly because Sima Yi saw that in addition to making fun of him, the other party was actually very modest in terms of military strategy and internal affairs, and rarely showed a proud look.
In other words, in Sima Yi's opinion, Fa Zheng is not only a little bit sarcastic when dealing with people, but also very good at dealing with people. He is also approachable in terms of being a human being, so Sima Yi did not have the idea of getting along with Fa Zheng.
In fact, Fa Zheng was very similar to telling him that it was not that he was humble, but that he was indeed a little guilty when he squatted among Chen Xi's group of people, so he had to be humble and humble.
"According to the Malay newspaper, the people in northern Xinjiang will arrive in at most two days. What about Mao Xiaoxian? Although he hid it very well, I also touched his tail. As a result, I haven't come out yet. It's too disgraceful to me." Fa Zheng did not continue to criticize Sima Yi and decisively changed the topic.
"It will appear in just one or two days. After all, at that time, we will inevitably welcome the returned soldiers, and we will also have to support the coffin and send the soldiers who died in the Northern Xinjiang back to the Central Plains, and arrange for those prisoners of no less than 400,000. This is a very troublesome thing. Although Mao Xiaoxian knew that you and I were here, he was afraid he would not be able to do it well." Sima Yi explained briefly twice.
"But it's been so many days since then, and the other party doesn't send someone to see me, and they really don't give me face. When we meet, we will have to run." Fa Zheng curled his lips and said. He understood this truth, but he was unhappy and there was nothing to say.
"Then it depends on your real skills. Mao Xiaoxian is extremely low-key. I don't know how capable he has so far, so if you fight him, I'll be happy to observe." Sima Yi said calmly, as if he wanted Fa Zheng to face Mao Jie, and then let him collect the combat power of both sides.
"Just just talking and joking, I won't ignore the overall situation so much." Fa Zheng said casually. Although he was unhappy with Mao Jie, he also knew that now is not the time to take advantage of the issue.
Although Fa Zheng has captured some traces of Mao Jie's army appearing nearby, to be honest, as long as this kind of thing is not captured, if Mao Jie doesn't come to see you, you will have no choice. After all, both sides are in different systems.
"How is the situation in Chang'an recently?" Sima Yi suddenly asked Fa Zheng.
"How did I know? I haven't paid attention to Chang'an recently." Fa Zheng said casually.
When Sima Yi heard this, he just glanced at Fa Zheng and did not talk about it again. Since Fa Zheng was unwilling to say it, he would not ask.
As for the fact that Fa Zheng really doesn't know this kind of thing, Sima Yi would not believe it. He doesn't believe what Fa Zheng said that he had completely sneaked over. What's more, even if he sneaked over, Sima Yi believed that someone would remember to explain to Fa Zheng.
Chang'an had such a big deal as the Southern Xiongnu. The only one who rushed down early and could manage affairs and had excellent intelligence was really a simple escape. Sima Yi was the first to disbelieve it.
It should even be said that even if no one advises a person like Fa Zheng, he can clearly distinguish the priorities. After the Southern Xiongnu went south and was defeated, the first priority was not to clean up the remaining Southern Xiongnu surrenders, nor to communicate with the northern border, but to pay attention to Chang'an.
Now let me say something I shouldn't say. The gathering point of the world's storm is in Chang'an, just in the position of the emperor. Under such circumstances, everything else should be in the back row, and Sima Yi didn't believe in Fazheng and couldn't see it.
The other party's answer is translated as a human word. Don't interfere in this matter. I won't tell you the situation. Just do your own thing well.
But Sima Yi is really tickling in his heart now. There is nothing he can do about it. He was still a little confused when he left Chang'an, but now, the situation suddenly changed, and the changes are very big.
Cao Cao's retreat allowed Sima Yi to see Cao Cao's true thoughts, and whether Liu Xuande was sincere or false, it was impossible for the other party to move the emperor's position in a short time.
This means that although Cao Cao and Liu Bei have various dirty tricks, judging from the current situation, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are all the same people.
Sima Yi's mind has now figured out all the context. Cao Cao and Sun Ce's current situation will definitely not allow Liu Bei to take over. Although from Sima Yi's perspective, Liu Bei may have the ability to fight two people alone, but there is no need.
If Sima Yi fights Cao Cao and Sun Ce alone, even if he uses his knees, he will know that the losses will not be too light. Now that Cao Cao and Liu Bei can continue to negotiate, and Cao Cao has already given up to the emperor once, then Liu Bei and Cao Cao actually have a basis for cooperation.
Although it does not conform to the normal principle of two weak people joining forces to fight against a strong enemy, it is very likely to have arisen when both sides have the same will.
Even in Sima Yi's thinking, if Liu Bei had enough courage and had sufficient benefits, Cao Cao might not have been able to bow his head, because in Sima Yi's opinion, Cao Cao had bowed his head to the Han Dynasty not long ago, so he might not be able to bow his head again this time.
Therefore, in Sima Yi's thinking, it is not impossible for Liu Bei to take over Chang'an at this time. As long as he operates well, he will directly use Liu Xie as a puppet and give Cao Cao enough autonomy, so that both sides may sit down and talk.
After all, the banner of the Han Empire has never fallen yet. At most, Liu, Cao and Sun's three parties are relatively exaggerated party struggles and have not seriously affected the lives of the lower classes.
The current living environment of the Han people is much better than that of more than ten years ago, twenty years ago, and fifty years ago, whether under Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, or even Liu Zhang.
In this case, the Han Dynasty flag did not fall. For most people, the banners of Liu, Cao and Sun were actually not as orthodox as the Han Dynasty flag, so they had the basic conditions to sit down and talk.
To put it bluntly, isn’t it just a compromise? Cao Cao’s purpose was to fight against the West of Han, and Liu Bei’s current purpose seemed to be Zhou Gongdan. These two are obviously coordinated.
More importantly, Sima Yi can see clearly the current situation. With Chen Zichuan on Liu Bei's side, the normal way to run Cao Cao and Sun Ce can only be bigger and bigger. Since this is the case, it is better to change the way.
Since the war is no longer possible, why not call it a temple dispute? Although Sima Yi believes that many people under Liu Bei's command can see that they will win sooner or later if they continue to drag on, how long will it take?
If it were a temple dispute, if you didn’t say anything else, you would basically get benefits from the people who were dragons. If Sima Yi thought from the perspective of human nature, if Cao Cao put this opportunity on the table in an open-minded way, it is not necessarily possible that Liu Bei could not shake it.
After all, if you can get through the Dragon Master twice, why not try it? Even if you mess it up, what does it have to do with them really become a battle in the temple. Those civil officials who gave advice are more likely to escape without permission.
With so many benefits, Sima Yi estimated that Liu Bei was fooled by everyone under his command and sat down to talk to Cao Cao.
As for Sun Ce, what's the problem? From Sima Yi's perspective, Liu Bei and Cao Cao's side have such an opportunity to invade Sun Ce's interests, so why not?
As for offending Sun Ce, what can I do? If I really get to the negotiating table, it will be basically a foregone conclusion, and Sun Ce’s strength cannot be overturned.
After thinking through this, Sima Yi was very interested in the situation in Chang'an, because if this was the case, the Liu family's royal family should now start connecting and preparing to pry the corner of the emperor.
Unfortunately, Sima Yi doesn't have much eyewitness in Chang'an, and he is now at the junction of Sili and Bingzhou, so he really has no way to remotely control it. Otherwise, Sima Yi wouldn't mind remotely controlling the situation.
In fact, when Sima Yi figured out this, after Zhou Yu on the way south was liberated from the heavy government affairs, he also guessed this possibility from various details.
This is also the reason why Zhou Yu is more silent the more he goes south, and he even gradually alienates Chen Xi and Xun Yu, because what might happen next is really bad for their Jiangdong forces.
Liu Bei is a royal family. No matter how fierce the matter is, Cao Cao has already expressed his thoughts as to the situation under the previous vacancies. Cao Cao is a Han minister. If this happens, if Liu Bei and Cao Cao sit down and talk, where are they Jiangdong, or Sun Ce sitting?
If you don’t know the current situation and continue to move on the road of division, isn’t that going to be a lie?
As for sitting at the negotiating table, all Zhou Yu could think of was to talk to Cao Cao and then use Cao Cao to win over it to enter the negotiating table. However, in this case, it would inevitably be necessary to keep pace with Cao Cao.
The power of Jiangdong is the weakest among the three parties. Although Cao Cao injured his foundation in his early years, Cao Cao had a strong foundation. His civil and military officials were at most slightly inferior to Liu Bei, and what he lacked was just elite veterans.
In this case, if you rely on Cao Cao's win over to enter the negotiating table, on the one hand, you will inevitably be hostile to Liu Bei, and on the other hand, you will inevitably be in line with Cao Cao. In this case, it will not take long to be gradually restricted by Cao Cao because of his lack of autonomy.
Even a little bit too much, if they are the weakest, it is not impossible for Cao Cao to gradually absorb it.
More importantly, the battle between the temple and the battle on the battlefield are not the same. Although Zhou Yu is confident that his wisdom is slightly worse, if he fights in the temple, just like Zhou Yu's current feeling, he and Chen Xi will be killed sooner or later.
Chen Xi may not be seriously injured because of his spiritual talent, and at most he lost most of his power, but there may be no problem with his personal safety and status. But if he and Sun Ce, if you do, they will definitely be drowned by the water called politics.
