Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 335 Sun Ce Shows His Power, Zheng Ping Calculates Sima

Wen County.

Sima.

Sima Lang is playing chess with Sima Yi.

As the most powerful family in Wen County, if the Sima family spoke, Wen County would tremble.

Other small families are all proud of whoever in the family has become a high official.

As far as the Sima family is concerned, even if all the members of the Sima family are at home, none of the officials in Hanoi County dare to show off their official authority in front of the Sima family in Wen County.

This is the foundation of the family.

"The current situation is turbulent. The Sima family should be wise and protect their lives. They should focus on reading to support their careers. Don't easily set foot in the disputes between the various forces."

"If there is any force to conquer the elder brother, the elder brother must remember that you can only pretend to be sick, and you are not allowed to be an official."

Although he is the second child, Sima Yi's vision is not weaker than that of his elder brother Sima Lang.

Sima Lang nodded solemnly: "If it hadn't been for the reminder from the second brother, my brother would have accepted Cao Cao's enlistment, and I would have fallen into the vortex of power struggle in Xudu at this moment."

"It's a pity that my second brother has a talent for managing the world, but he can only hide his talents and bide his time, and his talents are buried in Wen County."

Sima Yi sneered: "A good hunter must hide and go backwards. One blow will kill you. Before that, you can't fight with tigers, leopards and wolves. Just wait for these vicious beasts to kill each other, and when they are seriously injured and dying, they will suddenly appear again. get the most benefit."

"Observing the situation is like doing business. If you make a decision and then act, there will be no disadvantage."

Sima Lang clapped his hands and praised: "What the second brother said is true. Why should Sima interfere in the battle between tigers, leopards and wolves? Just wait until they are all wounded and defeated, and then make up for it, no one can shake it." Sima."

"Second brother can observe the general trend, so you know the general trend of the world, who can control the ups and downs?"

Sima Yi twisted his son and said: "Now that the two sons of Emperor Ling are dead, Cao Cao can no longer coerce the emperor to command the world. Although Cao Cao still has soldiers, but without the emperor, Cao Cao is like a waste, and has lost the qualification to compete for the world. "

"The general trend of the world is that the north and the south are divided into two parts. The north is dominated by Yuan Shao, and the south is controlled by Liu Bei. If Yi predicts correctly, Liu Bei will be elected as the new emperor, inherit the Han Dynasty, and fight Yuan Shao decisively."

"If Liu Bei wins, he can be like Emperor Guangwu, sweeping the world and reviving the Han Dynasty; if Yuan Shao wins, he can be like Emperor Gaozu, destroying all the kings and establishing a new dynasty."

Sima Lang was slightly surprised: "Second brother actually thinks that Liu Bei has the appearance of glory and martial arts?"

Sima Yi chuckled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether Liu Bei has the appearance of Guangwu, but Liu Bei's subordinates, who are like the generals of Yuntai, want Liu Bei to follow the path of Guangwu Emperor."

"It's a pity that although its leader has the talent of Yuan Hou (Deng Yu), it can only go so far."

"Even if Liu Bei rejuvenates the big man like Emperor Guangwu, it is just to let the big man continue to live on."

"When Liu Bei dies, his son will be young and have neither merit in battle nor hardship in troubled times. Even if he becomes emperor, he will be just a pawn in the hands of powerful ministers."

"In 50 years at most, the world will still be in chaos. Only our family can truly survive forever."

"At that time, with Sima's background, even the emperor will have to win him over with good words."

Sima Yi's tone was calm, but he seemed to understand the truth of the world.

What about ZTE?
Doesn't this world need to rely on aristocratic families like the Sima family to be stable?

It can't solve the fundamental problem, and the emperor is just a puppet of powerful ministers.

Maybe Liu Bei can work hard, but what about Liu Bei's son?Can you hold this world down?

Sima Yi sneered secretly.

The Sima family does not stay in office because the active figures such as Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao are all heroes of the world, and people such as Zheng Ping, Xun Yu, and Xu You are also outstanding people in the world.

But these people will eventually grow old and die due to time.

When all the heroes of the older generation died, it was the time for the Sima family to truly become an official.

"It's sad, even if you can make a name for yourself in this troubled world, you still need us to wait for your family."

"Yishang is young, but you are already old."

"The world belongs to our family."

Wisdom and cunning flashed in Sima Yi's eyes. As the most outstanding hero of Sima's younger generation, Sima Yi was humble and at the same time very proud.

Or perhaps, this is not humility at all, but simply looking down on others.

We are discussing.

The servant came to report: "First Young Master, Second Young Master, there is a young general outside the door, leading more than a thousand cavalry, saying he wants to come to Sima to borrow food."

Sima Lang was a little impatient: "Such a trivial matter needs to be reported? Just give me some food and grass."

Living in troubled times and having money and food, this is not the first time the Sima family has been borrowed food.

The servant looked at Sima Lang with some fear: "My lord, that young general wants 20 shi!"

"20 stones?" Sima Lang stood up in shock and said angrily: "Why didn't he grab it?"

Although the Sima family was rich in money and food, it was impossible to give 20 shi at one time.

The servant said weakly: "The young general said that if you don't give it to him, he will rob it."

"Too much deceit! Who is that young general under?" Sima Lang was instantly angry. In this Hanoi County, no soldier under the command of an official dared to underestimate Sima so much.

The servant shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that the young general's surname is Sun."

"Sun?" Sima Lang frowned, "Is there a general named Sun in Hanoi County?"

Sima Yi resolutely said: "Brother, it is not the general of Hanoi County who came. Although 20 stones and grains are a lot, the Sima family can't afford it. Let him ask."

Sima Lang was surprised: "Second brother, that's 20 shi! Not [-] shi!"

Sima Yi smiled lightly: "So what? The other party made it clear that they came to trouble Sima. If they don't give food, they will definitely give the other party an excuse to use force. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If you give it out today, you will be able to do it in the future." Take it back tenfold."

"The Marquis of Huaiyin can still be humiliated by his crotch, and the Sima family has been passed down for many years. Isn't it better for the Marquis of Huaiyin to see it clearly?"

Sima Lang had a gloomy face, and finally agreed to Sima Yi's proposal, and said to the servant: "Then give him 20 stone grain and let the grain transporters keep a closer eye. I want to know who dares to come looking for Sima's family." Not fast."

However, shortly after the servant left, he came back again: "My lord, the one surnamed Sun has changed his mind, saying that the Sima family doesn't even have the courtesy to welcome guests, so please, please, let all the young masters go to accompany you."

"He also said that if one person is missing, the entire Sima clan will be wiped out."

Sima Lang clenched his fists: "How dare you be so arrogant!"

Seeing that Sima Lang was angry, Sima Yi stopped Sima Lang again, and his tone became more puzzled: "It's strange, Mr. Sima has never had a big feud with anyone. How can this general named Sun be so aggressive?"

"Brother, I'd better meet with the general named Sun first before discussing this."

Sima Lang thought about it and found it strange.

After all, the Sima family has been keeping a low profile in recent years, and rarely extended his hands outside Hanoi County.

When the two brothers came outside the mansion, they saw a young general as tall as a lion and a tiger, standing on a horse with a gun. It was Sun Ce.

Before Sima Lang and Sima Yi could ask, the young general shouted, "It is said that Sima Fang has eight sons, known as Sima Bada, why are there only two? Are you looking down on this general?"

Sima Lang held back his anger, cupped his hands and said: "General, brother Lang is still young and still at the age of learning etiquette, if he comes out rashly, I'm afraid he will lose his etiquette."

Sun Ce snorted coldly: "Who's child hasn't played with mud? How can I care about it like a child? Refusing to come out is the greatest rudeness!"

At this time, even Sima Yi couldn't help but feel angry.

Playing with mud?

Sima Fang's son was actually compared to Mud Legs' son?

This is slapping Sima in the face!
"The visitor is not kind!" Sima Yi pulled Sima Fang's sleeve: "Brother, hold on for a while."

Soon.

Sima Fang's other six sons also came out.

"It's no different from when I was a child." Sun Ce glanced at him and asked intentionally, "Who is Sima Yi?"

Sima Yi tried his best to calm down his inner emotions and stepped forward to hold his hands in his hands: "I'm just here, I wonder what the general's orders are?"

Sun Ce narrowed his eyes: "Is Sima really willing to give 20 shi of grain and grass?"

Sima Yi said without hesitation: "Since I have made a promise, I will naturally give it to you."

Sun Ce clapped his palms and smiled: "As expected of a person praised by the military adviser, he can be so calm in the face of this general's humiliation."

"Sima Yi, you're lucky to be here. I'm enlisting you to serve with the army under the order of the military adviser. I'll give you half an hour to explain the family affairs. After half an hour, I will go to see the military adviser with the general."

Sima Yi's complexion changed greatly: "I don't know how to call the military adviser that the general is talking about?"

Sun Ce sneered: "The military advisor praises you for your talent, but you can't even guess who the military advisor is. I think you're not very powerful either."

Suddenly, Sun Ce's face changed, and he shouted: "If you dare to inquire about the secrets, even if the military division thinks highly of you, I will kill you here!"

The bright tip of the spear made Sima Yi feel a little nervous: "General Sun, Rong Yi goes to handle the family affairs."

Return to the inner courtyard.

Sima Lang could no longer hold back his anger: "Second brother, do you really want to go with the army? The Sima family can endure it, but not everyone can be humiliated."

Sima Yi was extremely calm: "Brother, don't worry. Yi has already guessed who the military adviser that General Sun is talking about is."

"Who?" Sima Lang's eyes turned cold: "If you dare to be rude to Sima, you are Sima's enemy."

Sima Yi's tone was serious: "Under General Zuo's command, Army Advisor General Zheng Ping!"

Sima Lang's pupils constricted: "Zheng Ping, the son of Lord Kang Cheng? How is this possible? This is Hanoi!"

Sima Yi shook his head lightly: "Brother, do you still remember that Gao Gan sent his troops south a while ago, and then returned to Bingzhou in a hurry?"

Sima Lang nodded: "I heard that the Black Mountain Army invaded the state and the high officials had to return."

Sima Yi saw through the clues: "The Black Mountain Army doesn't have the ability to defeat the soldiers and horses left by high officials in Bingzhou."

Sima Lang was surprised and said, "Second brother, what does it mean that the Heishan army invaded and merged with Zheng Ping?"

Sima Yi nodded: "If it wasn't for that, why would this general surnamed Sun come to Wen County? These cavalrymen are all white robes and silver armor. It is very likely that they are the White Robe Battalion of Liu Bei's cavalry battalion. It is Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce!"

"The Baipao Camp came to Hanoi, and Liu Bei was also in Xudu. Zheng Ping led his army south, which is also consistent with Yi's guess."

"It's just that Yi doesn't understand why Zheng Ping asked Yi to join the army."

Sima Lang said: "Regardless of whether the military advisor is Zheng Ping or not, the second brother must not go with the army."

Sima Yi shook his head: "It's unavoidable! If Yi joins the army and his brother is in Wen County, he must restrain the Sima clan more and don't let others kill him to scare the monkeys."

Sima Lang's expression changed again.

And on the other side.

Zheng Ping was also thinking about how to uproot the Sima family.

If Zheng Ping was working for Cao Cao, he would have asked Sun Ce to level the Sima clan. Anyway, Cao Cao's reputation would be more or less.

However, when Zheng Ping assists Liu Bei, his actions should not be too obvious, otherwise it will damage Liu Bei's reputation.

"If you can't be clear, you can only come to yin."

"Although it is inappropriate to assign blame to someone who has not yet committed the crime, there is nothing I can do about it. This selfishness makes me unable to tolerate the existence of the Sima family in Wen County."

Zheng Ping got up, his eyes were already colder.

No matter what, the Sima family will be eradicated.

However, now is not the time to eradicate the Sima clan. Zheng Ping needs to devise a plan to prevent the destruction of the Sima clan from affecting Liu Bei's reputation.

"Military division, it's a good luck for Ce to live up to his orders!" Sun Ce returned to the barracks enthusiastically, and then reported the results of the mission: "The 20 stone grain and grass will be delivered one after another, and Sima Yi is also waiting with the army."

20 shi, Sima Shi is really willing to give it up!
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Ping's mouth, and he praised: "Bo Fu has worked hard. You are personally responsible for escorting and transporting 20 stones of grain and grass to Xudu. Remember, if anyone asks, they will say that they are the people of Hanoi County. General Left!"

"Take Sima Yi with you. The words of the second son of the Sima family will be more convincing."

"If Sima Yi has any doubts, let him know some information. Just say that someone in the Sima family has humiliated my military advisor. However, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, and let him live his own life!"

Sun Ce said angrily, "Military officer, who the hell has humiliated you? It's better to let the last general cut him down! What kind of enemies should be solved rather than tied? The last general doesn't believe this!"

Zheng Ping said nonsense: "The man calls himself Sima Zhao and has a close relationship with Sima Yi, but it is most likely a fake name. Bo Fu, my personal grudges cannot ruin General Zuo's important affairs. You have the right to bear with it."

Seeing that Zheng Ping was unwilling to kill, Sun Ce could only snort angrily and went to find Sima Yi himself.

"Sima Zhao? General Mingjian, Yi will guarantee with his life that there is absolutely no Sima Zhao in the Sima clan!" Even though Sima Yi was cunning and wise, it was hard to guess that he was actually a Sima clan who claimed to have a close relationship with him and also called himself Sima Zhao. My son once humiliated Zheng Ping, thus causing trouble.

Sun Ce snorted coldly: "The military adviser said that Sima Zhao is most likely a fake name, otherwise, I would have killed all of your Sima clans long ago. If you want to prove your innocence, I will do things honestly when I go to Xudu this time."

"A military advisor wants to resolve enemies rather than tie them up, but this general doesn't want the military advisor to be humiliated."

"If I let the general know that the man who calls himself Sima Zhao is one of your brothers, don't blame the general for being rude!"

"Sima Yi, you have to behave yourself!"

Sima Yi broke out in a cold sweat, repeatedly expressing that he would follow Sun Ce's instructions, but he already hated the man who called himself Sima Zhao to death:

"Damn Sima Zhao, if you let Yi know your true identity, three generations of your ancestors will be destroyed!"
