Three Kingdoms: I started to build the Strategist Ranking

At this time, Chu Feng’s voice sounded again.

In the third year of Jingchu, Cao Ying died of illness, and the eight-year-old Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, and Sima Yi and the general Cao Shuang jointly became auxiliary ministers and assisted the young emperor.

The general Cao Shuang pushed out Sima Yi and told the Son of Heaven that he would change Sima Yi’s official position to Grand Sima and seize his power. ”

The imperial ministers thought that many great Simas had died tragically in office in the past and were unlucky, so they changed to taifu and made the sons of the Sima family serve as regular attendants of scattered horses.

He also made the sons of the Sima family marquis, riding capital lieutenants and other positions or titles.

Sima Yi knew that the general had murderous intentions towards him, so he decided to taoguang and raise obscurity, lowered the other party’s vigilance, rejected all rewards, and forbade the sons of the Sima family to enter the dynasty as officials.

In the first two years, Wu’s troops attacked the Wei state in four ways, and in June, Sima Yi led his troops to attack.

The weather in the south was hot and humid, and Sima Yi knew that the army could not stay here for long, so he sent a light horse to challenge, but the Wu army did not dare to fight.

Subsequently, Sima Yi rested the army, selected the elite, recruited the villagers, and put on a strong offensive, and the Wu army was afraid, and led the army to retreat that night.

Sima Yi led his army in pursuit, and finally caught up with and broke Wu County at Sanzhoukou, annihilating more than 10,000 Wu generals and destroying many Wu warships and materials.

“At this point, Sima Yi’s prestige has become stronger and stronger, but he has become more and more humble and respectful, as long as he does not lead troops to fight, he has been tolerating at home, lowering the vigilance of the great general Cao Shuang.”

Seeing this, everyone once again saw Sima Yi’s ability to forbear, and they were all amazed in their hearts.

This Sima Yi is simply a model of being able to flex and stretch.

Chen Liujun, but Cao Cao was even more worried: “The more Sima Yi endures, the more terrifying it is, and the more he has some plans.” ”

Being in the bureau, you may not be able to see clearly, but being outside, watching something as a spectator, some people, will see more clearly.

In Yingchuan, Yuzhou, Xun Yu’s eyes flashed slightly, and he muttered: “If you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy.”

This Sima Yi is not only forbearing, cultivating obscurity in Taoguang, but also nourishing Cao Shuang’s arrogance, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.

At this moment, Sima Yi was more like a lurking falcon, ready to give a fatal blow to his prey at any time. ”

Zhou Yu, who took Lu Xun out of Shu County, looked at Sima Yi, who seemed harmless to humans and animals in the picture, and frowned slightly.

“A good Sima Yi, in the future, you have to be wary of this person, the means are cruel, the heart is deep, and you know how to forbear and look for opportunities, such a person is more terrifying than ordinary strategists.”

Eight-year-old Lu Xun nodded solemnly, although he didn’t understand too much, but Brother Zhou Yu said so, it must be Hanoi County, Sima Yi also frowned: “It seems that my greatest ability is to endure, but this list of single exposure, how can I endure?” Who to turn to in the future? Cao Cao still dares to ask me? ”

At this time, Chu Feng’s voice sounded again.

In March of the third year, Sima Yi wrote to the Son of Heaven, suggesting that a wide channel be built between Chen and Cai to divert water from the river into Bian, dredge major lakes in the southeast, and implement large-scale tuntian in the Huaibei region.

The Son of Heaven adopted Sima Yi’s suggestion. ”

Soon after, the general of the Wu state Zhuge Jitun was in the city of Anhui, and the border of the Wei state was in danger, and Sima Yi took the Son of Heaven and sent troops to attack the city of Anhui.

At that time, the imperial court ministers all believed that Zhuge Ji occupied the city of Anhui, the city was strong, the food in the city was rich, and if he led an expedition, it would be difficult to break through in a short time.

“When the Wu State rescuers arrived, the Wei army would be defeated undoubtedly, and the gains would outweigh the losses, but Sima Yi did not agree.”

In the picture, I saw that above the court, Sima Yi said in a loud voice: “The most elite of the Wu army is the water division, and the best at water combat is not good at land combat. ”

“In winter, the lake in Anhui City will become shallow, and the warships will not be able to pass, and even if there are rescuers, they can only abandon ships and land for support.

Losing the advantage of water battles, fighting on land, no matter how many rescuers come, I can break it. ”

The Son of Heaven adopted Sima Yi’s advice.

Sima Yi raised food and grass while training the army, and when winter began in September, he led the army to march.

When the army arrived at Shucheng, Zhuge Ji did not dare to meet the battle, and after burning all the accumulated materials, he abandoned the city and fled.

Sima Yi’s prestige in the army was even greater, but after returning to the dynasty, he immediately surrendered his military power, humble and respectful, without the slightest disrespect.

In the first five years, in order to intimidate Sima Yi in the army, Cao Shuang did not listen to Sima Yi’s dissuasion and strongly advocated a crusade against the Shu state, and the Son of Heaven agreed to Cao Shuang’s plan to destroy Shu.

Cao Shuang led his army to attack the state of Shu, but returned with a great defeat.

In the first seven years, the Wu army attacked Xiangzhong again, and more than 10,000 families fled north to escape the Wu army, and were expelled by the general Cao Shuang.

Sima Yi objected: “The south of the river is too close to the Wu army, and if the people flee back to the north of the river during the war, it is likely to attract the Wu army to blend in and smuggle across the water.”

Moreover, if expelled, it is bound to lose people’s hearts and minds and is not conducive to the future of the country.

Therefore, these people should be allowed to live temporarily north of the river, not to be expelled. ”

Cao Shuang was already unhappy with Sima Yi, so naturally he would not agree to this plan, and said coldly: “Now that the army of the Wu Kingdom is about to arrive in Pushui, these people can’t hold the city south of Pushui, but let them stay north of Qishui to consume our grain, how can it last long?” ”

Sima Yi argued: “In a safe place, it is naturally safe; Placed in a dangerous place, it is naturally dangerous.

Whether it’s people or things, it’s all the same. ”

There are clouds in the book of soldiers: success or failure lies in the shape, and safety lies in the situation.

“The situation is the key to managing the crowd and must be treated with caution.

If Wu Guo defends Pushui with 20,000 troops, stalemates with our army south of Pushui with 30,000 troops, and attacks Xiangzhong with 10,000 troops, how can we rescue? ”

Cao Shuang still did not listen, and forcibly ordered the expulsion of the people to the south of Pushui.

Not long after, the Wu army broke through Xiangzhong, and tens of thousands of people were displaced.

Cao Shuang’s single-mindedness caused the Wei state’s national strength to continue to decline, which made many people in the Wei state feel uneasy, and they all hoped that Sima Yi would come out and uphold justice.

Sun Li, a disciple of Sima Yi, often expressed his dissatisfaction with Cao Shuang in front of Sima Yi.

Sima Yi asked, “How?” Are you still small? Or resentment that the Son of Heaven demoted you to the rank of assassin? ”

Sun Li said, “An official position disciple has not yet been put in appreciation, and the disciple is just complaining about Tai Fu.

You should be like Lü Shang, Kuang Zheng assisted the Wei court.

The upper can repay the trust of the previous emperor, and the lower can establish ten thousand merits. ”

Sima Yi’s expression was flat, and he said in a calm tone: “Don’t grieve, learn patience.” ”

“Patience? Tai Fu has endured for so many years, how long will he endure? ”

Sun Li frowned.

Sima Yi just smiled and said nothing.

Sun Li finally sighed helplessly and left.

Seeing this, everyone in the world sighed.

“Although this Sun Li is Sima Yi’s disciple, this forbearance kung fu is too far from Sima Yi.”

“What Cao Shuang has done has already caused public anger, and sooner or later he will suffer the consequences himself.”

“It feels like Sima Yi is deliberately indulging Cao Shuang’s wanton behavior, and in the end, by killing Cao Shuang with great righteousness, he can monopolize the power of the Wei state.”

Everyone was talking about it, and many people saw through Sima Yi’s intentions.

Of course, they also knew very well that this was because they were able to discover Sima Yi’s layout through outsiders and looking at the overall situation.

If they were in it, don’t talk about them, even those strategists who were at the bottom of the list of strategists might not be able to see Sima Yi’s layout.

“Sima Yi!”

Chen Liujun, Cao Cao had already clenched his fists, and he seemed to have seen the end of the Wei Kingdom in advance.

Wei Guojiang began with Cao Shuang.

At this time, Chu Feng’s voice sounded again.

“In the first eight years, Cao Shuang moved Empress Dowager Guo to the Yongning Palace, controlled the imperial government with his younger brother, jointly controlled the forbidden army, cultivated henchmen, and repeatedly changed the imperial court system, provoking the resentment of hundreds of officials, but did not dare to criticize.”

In May, Sima Yi pretended to be ill and stopped asking about Wei affairs.

In March of the ninth year, Cao Shuang colluded with Huangmen Zhang Dang to plot against him, and worried that Sima Yi was pretending to be ill, and asked Li Sheng, who was about to go to Jingzhou to serve as an assassin, to investigate.

Li Sheng went to visit Sima Yi on the pretext of visiting Taifu.

Sima Yi had already seen through Li Sheng’s intentions and pretended to be sick and blind.

After Li Sheng left the Taifu Mansion, he told Cao Shuang that Sima Yi was lying motionless on the bed, and his life was not long, and there was nothing to worry about.

From then on, Cao Shuang was no longer defenseless against Sima Yi.

In the first year of Jiaping, the Tianzi of the Wei State went to Gaoping Mausoleum to worship the emperor, and the Cao Shuang brothers accompanied him all the way.

Sima Yi, who had been pretending to be ill, felt that the time had come, turned over and wrote to Empress Dowager Guo, who was under house arrest, requesting the abolition of the Cao Shuang brothers, and Empress Dowager Guo agreed.

“Sima Yi led troops into the general’s mansion and took control of Cao Shuang’s family.

Da Si Nong Huan Fan noticed something wrong in advance and fled the city first.

Jiang Ji was worried that this person was quite resourceful and would become Cao Shuang’s help, but Sima Yi was still indifferent. ”

In the picture, I saw Sima Yi smile indifferently: “Although Huan Fan has some wisdom, Cao Shuang may not be able to use it.” ”

Sima Yi then asked Situ Gaorou to take over Cao Shuang’s military camp, and let the imperial servant Wang Guan command Cao Shuang’s younger brother’s military camp, and Sima Yi and the imperial lieutenant Jiang Ji and others led troops out of the city, stationed on the bank of the Luoshui pontoon bridge, and sent someone to present the recital to the Son of Heaven, accusing Cao Shuang of leaving the recital behind, and conscripting thousands of troops to garrison Yishui.

Huan Fan persuaded Cao Shuang to take the Son of Heaven hostage to Xuchang, and then recruit soldiers and horses from all over the world to come to King Xuchang Qin.

However, as Sima Yi expected, Cao Shuang did not take Huan Fan’s advice, but instead sent people to see Sima Yi and inquire about the situation.

Sima Yi took the opportunity to list Cao Shuang’s crimes and mistakes, and asked Cao Shuang to confess his guilt as soon as possible, and when the messenger left, Sima Yi said to the captured Cao Shuang’s cronies: “You quickly go and tell the general that the imperial court is only removing him from his official position, not taking his life, if he does not believe it, I can swear to Luoshui, if it is an oath, five thunders will hit the top and die.” ”

After Cao Shuang’s cronies left, Sima Yi said to the imperial lieutenant Jiang Ji: “Mr. Jiang, you write a letter to the general and tell him that I just want to remove them from their official positions, persuade him to surrender his military power as soon as possible, and not make senseless resistance, and I can promise them knighthoods and keep them rich.” ”

Cao Shuang got the letter, heard the words of his henchman, believed Sima Yi’s words, and ignored the dissuasion of Huan Fan and others, insisting on surrendering.

However, as soon as the Cao Shuang brothers returned to Fuzhong, they were surrounded by Sima Yi’s army.

At the same time, Sima Yi tortured Huangmen Zhang Dang to confess the crime, saying that Cao Shuang and others intended to rebel.

Subsequently, Sima Yi arrested all the participants on the charge of treason, and prepared to behead, and Cao Shuang was sentenced by Sima Yi to exterminate the three tribes.

At the time of the execution, someone asked Sima Yi: “Can Cao Shuang’s three-year-old son be spared?” He was only three years old and didn’t understand anything. ”

Sima Yi was unmoved, and lightly spit out a word: “Chop!” ”

In the end, the three clans of Cao Shuang were slaughtered, but Sima Yi took lenient treatment to those second-rate disciples under Cao Shuang and did not kill them.

Seeing this, everyone in the world sighed.

“Even killing three-year-olds is too ruthless.”

“Before the kid was killed, he was laughing innocently, but he didn’t know that he was going to die.”

“Of course, Cao Shuang should be killed, but that child is only three years old, why can’t he be released?”

“Cutting the grass and removing the roots, leaving no consequences, this Sima Yi is really ruthless.”

“What a Sima Yi, really seize the opportunity, kill with one blow, and never give the enemy a chance to turn over.”

Chen Liujun, when Cao Cao saw this scene, he suddenly stood up from his seat, his fists clenched, and his eyes were cold.

“Ten years of forbearance, once slaughtered the three clans of Cao Shuang, Sima Yi, Sima Yi, after all, let you wait for the opportunity.”

Cao Shuang wants to control the government of the dynasty, and the power tilts to the opposition, although he should be killed, but Cao Shuang’s ability to get to this point is not unrelated to Sima Yi.

Now that Cao Shuang is dead, there is no one in the Wei state who can compete with Sima Yi, and the power of the entire Wei state will fall into Sima Yi’s hands in the future, and the Cao family will be in danger.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other strategists also looked at Sima Yi in the picture with sharp eyes.

Wei Guo can be said to be the Jiangshan that they tried their best to help Cao Cao defeat, but in the end they were stolen by Sima Yi, which made them very unhappy.

In Hanoi County, Sima Yi, who was only twelve years old, sighed: “It’s over, it seems that you can’t go to Cao Cao in the future, otherwise you will definitely be chopped by him.”

But apart from Cao Cao, who else can complete the unification of the north? ”

After others are on the list, there will definitely be many princes vying for it, and after they are on the list, I am afraid that they will be rejected by the major princes.

Sima Yi rubbed his cheeks and began to worry about his future.

At this moment, he hopes that without this inexplicable list of advisers, his future life will still follow the established trajectory, step by step towards glory.

But now, his future is chaotic, and there is no hope in sight.

“Alas! I’m dead. ”

Sima Yi sighed and muttered,

“Since no one is destined to want it, then why should I study so hard? Or, in one step? ”

Sima Fang also sighed when he saw this scene, he thought that his son’s inclusion on the list would further the reputation of the Sima family and become the first family in the world, looking at the current situation, I am afraid that it will be forgotten for ten thousand years.

Yanzhou Dongwu Yang, Chen Gong laughed loudly: “A good Sima Yi, really ruthless, now you can no longer go to Cao Cao.”

United with Sima Yi and condemn Cao Thief. ”

Thinking that with the help of a strategist who is the second in the world, the plan to destroy Cao will be much easier, and he is in a good mood.

But soon he frowned: “This Sima Yi was born in the second year of Guanghe, and now he is only twelve years old, no matter how smart he is, he can’t reach the height in the picture.” ”

“It is unlikely that the current Sima Yi will fight against Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu, these super strategists.

However, he could form an alliance with the Sima family first, and at least use the Sima family to counter the influence of the Xun family among the scholars. ”

In Anxi County, Liu Bei saw this scene and sighed: “Seeing his descendants being erected by his advisers, Cao Cao is probably very uncomfortable in his heart now.” ”

He did not mean to gloat, although he was an opponent of Cao Cao, it did not prevent him from hating Sima Yi, believing that any monarch would be angry when he saw this scene.

He was even worried that after his death, the advisers of the Shu Kingdom would treat his descendants like this.

Luoyang, Prime Minister’s Mansion, Dong Zhuo looked at Sima Yi in the picture and asked Li Ru: “After the list is exposed, Cao Cao will definitely not want Sima Yi again, and Sima Yi will not dare to go to Cao Cao, can we win this person over, destroy Cao Cao, and suppress the princes of the world?” ”

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and reminded: “Lord, this person has the appearance of a wolf, and it can be clearly seen from the evolution of his life that this person will not live under people for a long time. ”

He can endure for ten years to achieve his goals, and such characters are beyond the control of ordinary people.

The Lord may not be worse than Cao Cao, but among the descendants of the Lord Lord, can there be someone who can compare with Cao Pi and Cao Ying?

Cao Pi, and even Cao Ying, were actually suppressing Sima Yi when he was alive, so Sima Yi was forbearant from the beginning of the Cao Cao period until the end of the Cao Ying period, and he was in Taoguang to raise obscurity.

“Only in the Cao Fang period did he begin to lay out the layout, forcing Cao Shuang to the end of the three clans step by step.

It’s just that his layout is very clever, and few people can see it at the time. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded after hearing this, did not say anything, but his eyes fell into thought, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

Taking the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he at this time is like the future Cao Cao on the screen.

Since Cao Cao can dominate the northern Han Dynasty, why can’t he?

Although he is now classified as prime minister, what he can control is nothing more than the land of a state.

If you apply it to yourself according to the future of Cao Cao on the screen, can you replicate Cao Cao’s success?
