Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, clearly realizing that Sima Yi is indeed not simple, he is calm and prudent, he speaks impeccably, and is familiar with all military and political affairs, which is really a rare talent.Such talents can be of great use after a little experience, so he felt that it was necessary to have an in-depth conversation with Sima Yi. After all, we will work together for a long time in the future, and it is beneficial and harmless to deepen our understanding of each other; Get twice the result with half the effort.
At this point, Zhuge Liang raised his hand to signal Sima Yi to drink tea, and said with a smile: "My lord once told me that Zhong Da is a rare talent in a hundred years. At first, I was skeptical, but after getting along for five days, I realized what the lord said is true." Xu. Zhongda acted resolutely, thoughtfully, and handled everything that I entrusted to me very properly. I paid a little attention last night and found that even if I did it myself, I might not be able to handle it so well. It can be seen from this , Zhong Da's talent is not inferior to mine, he just didn't know the master before, now he will have the opportunity to display his talent when he meets the master, and in time he will become famous all over the world, I firmly believe in this."
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang signaled Sima Yi not to be overly modest, and then said: "If Zhongda is willing, from now on you and I will be called brothers. Zhongda is two years older than me, so I will be called Zhongda brother. I don't know what Zhongda brother wants. ?”
"This..." Sima Yi was shocked when he heard the sound, and was immediately speechless.He never dreamed that Zhuge Liang, who became famous at a young age, would be able to talk with him on an equal footing, and even give him such a high evaluation.This surprised Sima Yi, who was caught off guard and at a loss as to what to do.
Prior to this, Sima Yi had always been on guard against Zhuge Liang, lest he deliberately trip him up, so as to take advantage of him and kill him.Because Li Li once wanted to kill Sima Yi, but because of his own face, he didn't want to bear the notoriety of reneging, so he let him live until now.
Now that Zhuge Liang had just returned from an expedition, Li Li sent him to Zhuge Liang's tent to listen to him. This made Sima Yi have to suspect that Li Li wanted to use Zhuge Liang's hand to kill him.
Chapter 211 Future Star
However, Zhuge Liang's words did not seem to be false, and he was clearly having a heart-to-heart talk with him.On this point, Sima Yi firmly believes that he will not be wrong, because he is very confident in his ability to see people, and he will never be wrong.
Thinking quickly, Sima Yi grinned, but it was fine if he didn't smile, this smile made Zhuge Liang feel rather weird, as if he was smiling on the surface, and the smile was very cold.But Sima Yi didn't realize that his smile was ugly, so he smiled lightly and said, "I am very flattered that the military commander has handed over his hand. I don't know if the military commander can tell the truth. Why did he go to the Zhuque camp three times in five days? You should know that there is Guo Guo in the Zhuque camp. It seems that Jia sits in the town without the trouble of a military adviser?" This is Sima Yi's test of Zhuge Liang's sincerity in making friends with him.In fact, he has already guessed some clues, and he only needs a little verification to know the whole story, but he still asks the question knowingly.
It was also at this time that Sima Yi suddenly remembered what Li Li once said to him: "It is necessary to ask only when you know what you know."Looking back now, those words were incisive, and they fit well with Sima Yi's thoughts at the moment.
Zhuge Liang was surprised when he heard the sound: "Zhongda really doesn't know the whole story? As far as I know, you have followed the lord for more than a year, and you don't know that the lord and the commander of the Suzaku camp are old enemies?"
"Uh, there is such a thing?" Sima Yi was surprised, and then said anxiously: "I really have never heard of it, so I ask the military advisor to enlighten me."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand lightly and said: "It's not a matter of enlightenment. This matter is not a secret. Almost everyone in the army knows everyone. As long as Zhong Da pays a little attention, he can find out clearly. Since Zhong Da doesn't know about it, I say Just listen to you."
There was a pause.Zhuge Liang had already guessed the reason why Sima Yi was so ignorant after staying in the General's Mansion for more than a year, which also confirmed his guess.For more than a year.Sima Yi has always been excluded from the Xiliang Army, and no one wants to associate with him.The generals in the army rejected him even more, so Sima Yi was still alone until now, completely isolated.
At this point, Zhuge Liang made a plan and continued: "Zhongda should know that Zhang Fei, Liu Bei of Zhuojun, and Guanyu of Hedong are sworn brothers. These three people have always lived and died together, advanced and retreated together, and their sworn brotherhood is praised by the world. .” Sima Yi nodded, but did not interrupt.Listening to Zhuge Liang's narration.He's clearly a good listener and patient, and maybe that's one of the reasons for his success.
"During the Battle of Si Li, Liu Bei led tens of thousands of Xuzhou troops to form an alliance with the princes of the Central Plains. His younger brother Zhang Fei fought in front of the two armies and fought with Xu Chu, the general of our army, for more than a hundred rounds. Then he joined forces with Lu Bu and almost killed Xu Chu. After the defeat of the Allied Forces, if General Zhao Yun hadn’t thought about the old friendship and let him escape, the two brothers Liu Bei and Zhang Fei would definitely not be able to survive. In the battle against Yuan, the three brothers Liu Bei were killed. Zhang Fei fled alone Going to Yuzhou, he was chased and killed by Huan Fei after he learned of his whereabouts. If the lord hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Zhang Fei would have died in Huangquan long ago. After Zhang Fei was captured, the lord treated him very kindly and persuaded him to surrender many times. But this guy doesn't understand the truth, and would rather die than follow.
Then the Battle of Jizhou broke out, the lord did not realize the trick of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao for a while, and more than [-] troops were wiped out in one battle, even the lord himself was imprisoned, narrowly escaped death.After finally rushing out of Yecheng, unexpectedly, when he was about to arrive at Huguan, he was ambushed by Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others.During the service, Gongsun Zan sacrificed his life for righteousness, the lord was devastated by this, and all the generals urged the lord to behead the three brothers Liu Bei to avenge General Gongsun, and use their heads to pay homage to General Gongsun.However, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, the protagonist finally retained the three brothers Liu Bei, which laid the foundation for the subsequent smooth recovery of Xuzhou. "
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang paused, and sighed sincerely: "My lord is the most benevolent monarch I have ever seen. His open-mindedness has never been seen before, and his heart of loving and cherishing talents is as bright as the sun and the moon! Since the end of the Battle of Jizhou, , The lord repayed the grievances with virtue, condescendingly condescended to personally recruit two genius doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji from the Imperial Hospital to treat Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and thus saved Liu Bei's life. Settle down his family and clan members. However, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu don't appreciate you, and they still refuse to be loyal to the lord. They only go out with the army during wartime, and they will not obey orders at other times."
After listening to Zhuge Liang's narration, Sima Yi's face was still calm, but his heart was turbulent like a stormy sea. He was deeply impressed by Li Li's open-minded mind, and clearly realized that maybe he could Misunderstood Li Li, he didn't have the idea of looking for an opportunity to kill himself.Perhaps, after the life-and-death question-and-answer session at Shangdang County Sheriff's Mansion, Li Li had put away his murderous intentions and decided to let Sima Yi go. However, Sima Yi himself was suspicious by nature and subconsciously thought that Li Li would not let him go. I am looking for an opportunity to get rid of him, so that there will be no future troubles.
At this moment, after listening to Zhuge Liang's account of the grievances between Liu Bei's three brothers and Li Li, Sima Yi suddenly realized that the enmity between himself and Li Li was nothing at all, and even the enmity between himself and Li Li was far-fetched.After all, his Sima family was destroyed by the rebels. It was not only the [-] soldiers under Teng Xiao who entered Sima's mansion that night, but also more than [-] remnants from the allied forces of the princes.Therefore, this great enmity cannot be entirely attributed to the Xiliang army, nor can it be imposed on Li Li; strictly speaking, all the princes who participated in the Sili war have a share, and they all have enmity with his Sima family.In other words, if there had been no Sili war, his Sima family would not have been in trouble, and at most they would have to spend money to eliminate disasters, and they could save themselves from danger by giving part of the wealth accumulated over the past century to Li Li.
Thinking secretly, Sima Yi suddenly felt that he was too narrow, too extreme, his thinking was too complicated, and he thought simple problems too complicated.In fact, for more than a year, he has been by Li Li's side all day long, and he has personally realized that Li Li is not a villain; He was very kind to his soldiers and maids, and treated him with courtesy to Sima Yi. He never lost his temper, let alone deliberately made things difficult for him.
Subtly, Sima Yi felt that he had lived for more than 20 years, and only this year was the most comfortable and comfortable.It is much more relaxed and casual than the life in your own family.The only fly in the ointment is that he is always on guard against Li Li.Fearing that Li Li's nerves were not right, he would kill him severely.It's just that his worries are unnecessary.After such a long time, Li Li has neither treated him excessively nor made things difficult for him. As long as he does his job well, everything will be fine. He has never been punished, but instead received a lot of rewards.Because of his prudent handling and thoughtfulness, Li Li successively rewarded him with a three-story house and more than 50 bolts of silk and satin.He was also given [-] taels of gold to accommodate his family members, and ten soldiers were also sent to serve as personal soldiers.
Because of this, when Li Li sent him to work under Zhuge Liang's tent, he felt a little lost, but he didn't want to admit it, but comforted himself: "Finally out of the tiger's mouth. Since then, the sea is as wide as the fish." Leap. The sky is high and birds fly, and sooner or later I, Sima Yi, will be able to stand out and do something spectacular!"
Only now did Sima Yi wake up.He clearly realized that he was really reluctant to leave the General's Mansion, and the reason why he wanted to do something great was to prove to Li Li.He Sima Yi is by no means mediocre, sooner or later he will do something great for Li Li to see.It made him regret that it was a bad decision to drive him away.At first glance, Sima Yi looks like a resentful woman.But Li Li and him are not carrying mountains, but a friendship formed after getting along for a long time.Although they are unwilling to admit this friendship to each other, it is real. After all, people are emotional animals. He is an extremely selfish person, no different from a cold-blooded animal.
An extraordinary person must have something extraordinary, his tolerance and self-reflection ability are definitely far beyond ordinary people, otherwise he would not be able to succeed in his life.Sima Yi is recognized as an extraordinary person by later generations.
After a long silence, Sima Yi stretched out his hand to pour Zhuge Liang a cup of tea, and said frankly in a low voice: "I've heard a lot from the words of the military advisor. My lord's heart of repaying grievances with virtue, I have heard it before, but I don't believe it. However, what I hear is what I see. To be honest, this time Zhang Feirong was promoted to lieutenant general, so that I truly believe that the rumors are true, and that the lord is indeed the hero of the world. It's just that "he hesitated to speak, and Sima Yi's face showed a rare look of distress, and he was a little bit embarrassed , I don't know if I should say it.
Zhuge Liang was born with a delicate heart and a quick mind, so he immediately understood: "Brother Zhongda wants to say that your Sima family has a family feud with the lord, right? I already knew about it, so let's not say who is right and who is wrong. Which family in this troubled world can stand alone and stay out of the troubled times? Your Sima family is a century-old family. Even if the lord does not take Si Li, other princes will not let go of the hinterland of the Central Plains. No matter where your Sima family is attached to Under the tents of the princes, they will be suppressed, ranging from dissipating their wealth, to ruining their families. In troubled times, the princes need countless money and food to recruit soldiers and increase their strength. A century-old family like you is undoubtedly the most conspicuous existence. It is not an exaggeration to criticize it.
Therefore, some things will come sooner or later, and they cannot be avoided after all.I deeply sympathize with what happened to your Sima family. As for how brother Zhong Da thinks about this matter and what he plans to do in the future, I don't want to ask more.However, as a colleague who works together, I would like to advise Brother Zhongda that if you do what you know you can't do, it is tantamount to suicidal, and it is definitely not advisable, and a wise man will not do it.Zhong Da is a wise man in the world, and he has thought carefully, so I don't need to say more about which is more important.What I can say is that the current situation is very serious. After the lord ascends the throne, the situation in the world will change drastically. At that time, it will be the time for you and me to make contributions.This opportunity is rare, Brother Zhong Da must not miss it, only by taking advantage of this opportunity to accumulate enough military merits, Brother Zhong Da will have the capital to be alone in the future, otherwise it is impossible to get the chance to lead the army throughout his life.Brother Zhong Da, you should know that our army is full of talents, counselors are like rain, and generals are like clouds. There is never a shortage of generals who are good at fighting.With all that said, I hope Brother Zhongda will cherish it well, and don't delay your life's future because of a moment of personal anger. "
"Brother Yu will keep Kong Ming's good words in mind, and he will surely repay you in the future." After some heart-to-heart talk, Sima Yi finally let go.A pair of former enemies turned into friends. It is foreseeable that they will be seen fighting hand in hand in the future journey, just like two generals shining brightly together.

Chapter 212 Midnight Phantom
The night slowly opened, and the stars revealed little by little, forming a bright silver galaxy.
Tonight is the eve of the full moon, the sky is beautiful, the sky is dotted with stars, but there is a blank space in the west surrounded by stars, and the blank space is glowing with white light.
That is the throne reserved for the full moon.She is the king of the night sky, the most noble and dazzling existence.When the moon is full, she always arrives late, making those who want to see her peerless beauty wait and wait, and she will come in a graceful and luxurious way until they doze off. , showing the demeanor of the stars, releasing the light that covers the stars in the sky, driving away the darkness, and becoming the unparalleled master of the starry sky.
No matter how time goes by, she will always be so holy and white, so radiant, and so tender as water.
The years look so fragile and pale in front of her, and they will never be able to leave wrinkles on her bright face; the darkness fades away under her gentle comfort, interpreting the true meaning of the best kindness like water.The bright stars are ashamed and ashamed in front of her, eclipsed with shame, and then willingly bow down under her skirt, becoming a vassal, embellishing the night sky, setting off her ancient and modern beauty, and the only one I respect The infinite charm of the star king.
In Chang'an Market, wind lanterns illuminate the streets and alleys of Qingshi, showing pedestrians the way home.Although the stars and the bright moon are bright and beautiful, they are too far away, out of reach, and we cannot expect her to illuminate the streets.For people living in this thousand-year-old city, the light yellow lanterns swaying in the wind are more practical, at least they can be seen and touched.It makes people feel down-to-earth, far more realistic than the starry sky and lingkonghaoyue.
Ordinary people like to look at the stars and the moon.Because she is like a pearl, like a silver plate, shining brightly.And these are what the common people do not have, and the things that cannot be owned are always so yearning.Moreover, they are not only good-looking, but also herald the good weather tomorrow, which is the most practical for ordinary people.Farmers don't understand astronomy or geography, but they all know what a sky full of stars means: "There are so many stars and they are so bright, tomorrow will be a good day!"
Such beautiful scenery does not know how to appreciate.What a waste of money.However, no matter how beautiful things are, they are completely useless to ordinary people. They are far less real than a string of copper coins or a bucket of grain.
The night was deep, and the long-awaited bright moon had moved to the north, which meant that it was already Haishi, and midnight would be half an hour later.
Nancheng post house.The lights are still on in more than a dozen courtyards, which has been a practice for half a month. The lanterns in the corridors are always on all night, which is convenient for the dozen or so missions living here to go out at night.Don't look at this post house is not luxurious.Right now, it is full of envoys from various countries and invited guests. There are more than [-] people in total, no less than the Great General's Mansion in Beicheng.
Behind the wing on the northwest corner of the post house, in the pavilion next to the stables.At this moment, there are two people sitting opposite each other.There are more than 100 followers in the open and dark places around them; and.These people are all fully armed, all in black and soft armor.They all hold short weapons in their hands, which is convenient for close combat.
More than 100 people guarded the stables.If it is not for special hobbies, there must be a major conspiracy.Otherwise, who would stay up in the middle of the night and run to the stable to blow the wind, and the wind was still northwest.Looking at those subordinates with runny noses and shivering from the cold, one can tell that they didn't come out in the middle of the night to relax, but had ulterior motives.Apparently, their purpose was to protect the two people who were sitting in the pavilion talking in low voices.
One more thing is certain, they are not from Xiliang.To be precise, they are not soldiers under Li Li's command, and they are not Fanbang Hu people. From their attire and weapons, it can be concluded that they are Han Chinese.In this way, their identities are ready to be revealed, because in the entire post house, except for the staff of the post house, only the Northern Wei Mission and the Southern Han Mission are Han Chinese, and the rest are all non-Chinese.
It is worth mentioning that Li Li had made a decree for a long time, and there was a clear regulation on the number of missions from various countries who came to participate in the coronation ceremony, and the maximum number should not exceed 200 (including [-]).For this reason, these missions had to submit a detailed list of missions when they entered the city, and then the city gate guards took the list and checked them one by one before they could enter the city, and they also checked the carriages accompanying them. The weapons they carry are kept in a centralized manner and will be returned to them when they leave.After entering the city, they were taken directly to the post house by a special person, and they were placed in the post house to rest in a unified way. The board and lodging of each mission was taken care of by a special person.
The missions of the Northern Wei Dynasty were placed in the courtyard on the northeast corner of the post house, while the missions of the Southern Han Dynasty were placed in the courtyard on the northwest corner, separated by two courtyards in the middle, with a straight line distance of more than 1000 meters.Obviously, the head of the posthouse intentionally separated the two missions so that they could not have private contact, and even had no chance to meet each other before the enthronement ceremony.
However, no matter how strict the precautions are, there are always omissions.Tomorrow is the day of the enthronement ceremony, so the staff of the post station can't help but relax their vigilance. In addition, they are very busy, so there are mistakes. Get together the night before the ceremony.
There were no lights in the booth.Fortunately, the bright moon was in the sky, half of the pavilion was illuminated by the moonlight, and the two people in the pavilion sat in the dark, but it didn't affect the sight, and it was even much brighter than the wind lamp.
There were two black cloaks on the stone table, and two young men in black soft armor sat opposite each other, and after a short greeting, they began to talk in a low voice.
The young man sitting on the west side is nearly eight feet tall. He is sitting upright with his back straight. He does not look sideways when he speaks.He is very young, with black hair hanging down his shoulders, he should not have reached the crown yet, at most seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is tall and handsome, even if he does not speak, he has a silly smile on his face, giving people a humble and simple feeling Seems easy to get along with and easily wins the trust of others.
In contrast, the young people sitting on the east side are far from it, and there is no comparison at all.But I saw him with a strange (ugly) appearance, thick eyebrows, big mouth, flat nose, slightly fat cheeks, a thick neck, and an extremely conspicuous double chin.Whenever one sees this face, one can naturally think that he is not tall, and it is true.
He was barely seven feet tall and bloated, which showed that his material life was good, and he wasted nothing, digested and assimilated it all.Although the appearance is not amazing, his small eyes are very beautiful, bright and agile, like the stars in the sky, shining with light, their eyes are extremely sharp, and they seem to be able to see through people's hearts.This is a pair of eyes full of wisdom, and it is also God's compensation for him. After a casual appearance coupled with these eyes, it is like a finishing touch. The temperament of the whole person suddenly changes, appearing restrained and wise. Buried extremely talented wise man.
After talking in a low voice, the short and fat man chuckled lightly and said, "Zi Heng was able to get the word from your father before reaching the crown, so it can be seen that your father has high hopes for you! It can be foreseen that in the future, the person who will be in charge of the power of Wei State will be very You are none other than me, I will congratulate you in advance by how much older you are."
The simple and honest man said humbly: "Sir, you have won the prize. I think you know that my brother followed his father to fight against Sili in the early years. He was ambushed by Li's army at Feiyundu outside Hangu Pass. The entire army of more than [-] soldiers was almost wiped out. My brother I was also killed in the fight. Therefore, I am the eldest son of my father, and I should set an example for my younger brothers. This time I followed the mission to Chang'an to have a secret talk with my husband. My father specially gave me a letter and told me that the opportunity is rare, so I must do more. Ask Mr. Fengchu for advice, and be sure to complete the mission.
Therefore, you don't have to be polite, no matter what the king of Han wants, you can tell me straight.Before coming here, my father has already confessed that in order to form an alliance between you and me, and jointly defend against Thief Li, all requests made by Mr. Wei, as long as we can fulfill them, will not disappoint the King of Han. "Talking like a person, he not only looks simple and honest, but also speaks extremely kindly. Before the other party formally proposed the conditions for forming an alliance, he took the lead in expressing his attitude, almost agreeing with his mouth, and regarded himself as a junior. There are not many of them, and it is tantamount to giving the other party a chance to ask for a price. This move is really extremely hasty, as if there is no negotiation experience at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is naive.
However, the "Mr. Fengchu" who was sitting opposite him didn't think so. Instead of belittling him, he showed appreciation, and the smile on his face became brighter, but there was an imperceptible look of fear in his eyes. color.Obviously, he was not fooled by the simple and honest man's humble demeanor and tricky words, but he saw that this prince of Wei Guo was not simple, he could be called a man of great wisdom and foolishness.It might be difficult for other people to detect the hidden meaning of these words, but who is he "Feng Chu", how can he not know the truth of listening to the sound?
The son of Wei State called his father Cao Cao "Father Emperor", but called the Southern Han Emperor Liu Biao "Han King". What does this mean?Obviously, Cao's father and son did not recognize the Southern Han regime in their bones, and did not take Han Emperor Liu Biao seriously at all. They still regarded the Jingzhou regime as a vassal of the separatist side, as if they were not at the same level as Wei Guo.Because of this, Cao Cao's son looked down on the alliance with a high attitude and fully agreed to the conditions of the alliance with the Southern Han Dynasty.
Everyone can see it, just as you think: Mr. Fengchu is Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan, who was recently promoted to the military division general of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the simple and honest man sitting opposite him is Cao Pi, Cao Ziheng, the son of Wei Guo.
