After Sima Yi left the lobby of the county magistrate's mansion, he thought for a while, called the servant to prepare the carriage, and took a team of armored soldiers as a protection to a mansion in the city.

These former staff members of the Grand Sima Mansion have all been appointed as ministers, and they are close ministers of the emperor and need to be guarded against assassination.

Soon after, Sima Yi arrived at his destination.

In front of a pretty exquisite mansion, the door of the mansion was open. Sima Yi negotiated with the doorman for a while and was invited to sit in the living room.

The servant immediately brought tea and pastries. Sima Yi didn't move much, but just sat upright, basically keeping in a single position.

The Sima family is a big family, but Sima Yi's character and etiquette are formed, which is due to the family, but also the great contribution of his father Sima Fang.

Sima Fang has eight sons, known as [Bada].

Sima Fang educated his son very strictly. He said he would not dare to go in without his fate, and said he would not dare to sit without his fate, and said he would not dare to speak without his advice.

Super strict, this has cultivated Sima Yi's cautious character and also cultivated Sima Yi's correct sitting posture.

The owner of this mansion is Sima Yan, who is Sima Fang's cousin, and Sima Yi is called the other party's 18 Uncle.

Currently, Sima Yan is working in the mansion of Taishici, the general of Zhenbei, and is one of Taishici's important aides.

Not only that, there are many people in the Sima family who work in the Liang Dynasty.

This is a matter of course. The ability of aristocratic families to cultivate talents is much stronger than that of those poor families. If the clans support each other, it is easy to enter the official career.

However, Sima Yi had a premonition that the power of the great clan began to decline. Because Liang Lord liked to use poor families and the popularity of books made reading easier.

The ability of aristocratic families to cultivate talents has been challenged. With more scholars, the competition will of course become fierce.

Whether it is a big family or a poor family, they will be affected.

Sima Yi almost stopped moving and sat until it was almost dark. Sima Yan walked in from outside the door and learned that Sima Yi was coming. Sima Yan immediately came to the living room.

"Uncle." Sima Yi bowed to Sima Yan very well and said politely.

"Zhongda." Sima Yan nodded, then came to the main seat to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Zhongda, you are a close minister next to the emperor. If you don't serve the emperor, you come to me. After sitting for so long, what must be wrong?"

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Uncle, the emperor ordered me to see Xu You, but I am not familiar with Xu You. And you, Xu You, have a friendship."

Sima Yan pinched his beard, and his eyes flashed with a flash of light. He smiled and nodded and said, "I have always been in love with Xu You. Back then, he planned to depose Emperor Ling of Han, so he wrote to me. How could I have sex with him?"

Speaking of this, Sima Yan shook his head and laughed. Then, he restrained his smile and said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda. Although Xu You has a friendship with me, you still have great risks as a spy. How can the emperor send you to such a dangerous thing?"

Sima Yi heard Sima Yan’s implicit meaning and shook his head and said, “Uncle is suspicious. The emperor values ​​me very much. As the saying goes, he will listen to his words, and he will follow his plans. There is no need..."

Sima Yi didn't say anything about it, so it was hard to criticize the emperor. Sima Yi was quite satisfied with Zhang Xiu himself.

Zhang Xiu basically agrees with whatever he said.

To put it simply, his boss appreciates him very much and he is full of energy.

"Yeah." Sima Yan thought about it, so he nodded slightly. For Emperor Liang, the Sima family was just following the trend.

Since the poor families in the territory under the jurisdiction of the court have all obeyed, they have obeyed, and as for loyalty, it is really impossible to say.

It took hundreds of years for the Han Dynasty to win a small number of loyal ministers.

"I'll send someone to the Yuan Jun camp to inquire for a while." Sima Yan said after thinking for a while.

"Thank you uncle." Sima Yi bowed and thanked.

"What else do you and my uncle and nephew say thank you?" Sima Yan smiled and shook his head. Then, he said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda. Let's have meals here at night, and we will sleep with you."

"I haven't slept with you for a long time. I miss you."

Speaking of this, Sima Yan was very excited. Sima Yi's nephew was amazingly talented. It was really a great thing for the two of them to lie on the bed and communicate with each other.

"No." Sima Yi respectfully agreed.

............

In the north, Yuan Shao's camp.

Although Yuan Xun was captured during the battle that day and Yan Liang lost another small battalion of troops, not many troops died in battle.

After Yuan Shao retreated for dozens of miles, he set up camp and gathered the defeated troops, with another 80,000 or 90,000 people. As for the lost supplies and food, it was even more destined to be lost.

The food and supplies from the rear of Jizhou were continuously transported.

Yuan Shao's army's morale was revived.

Near the Central Army's tent, Xu You was sorting out his own books. Books are really good, but they are easily damaged.

Just now, a soldier walked in from outside and reported: "Report to Mr. Xu. Someone claims to be your fellow countryman, and someone named Wang Hui asked for a visit."

Xu You's face moved, then raised his hand and said, "It's my fellow countryman, let him in."

"promise."

The soldier responded and turned around and walked out.

This kind of thing is normal. Not only are there many soldiers in the Yuan army, but there are also many generals, civil servants and personnel exchanges.

And this man named Wang Hui does not exist. It is the secret code he agreed with Sima Yi.

Not long after, Sima Yi, who looked like a ranger, walked in from outside.

He held a delicate box in his hand.

"Mr. Xu. The things here are priceless." Sima Yi first handed the box to Xu You, patted it gently, and said with a smile.

Xu You didn't have any reserve, and couldn't wait to take the box, open it and look at it, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. After a long time, he calmed down and closed the box. He looked up and said to Sima Yi, "The Emperor Ling exploited the world, and the treasures he collected were as rich as cows. In the end, it was a bargain for your emperor."

Xu You was quite polite and did not call Zhang Xiu’s name directly.

Sima Yi bowed and said seriously: "The emperor has nothing to do with your family, my family. There is only one emperor in the world. And I, Lord Liang, must be the one who laughs the last time. This is a meeting ceremony, and Mr. If you are willing to speak for us..."

Sima Yi came to Xu You's side, whispered to Xu You's ear and said a few words.

Xu You showed a look of heartbeat, but after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "Let me consider it."

"Sir. You must not miss the opportunity, you will never come again."

Sima Yi held his face and bowed his hands and said.

"Hehe." Xu You laughed and just looked at Sima Yi. Soon after, Sima Yi left Yuan Jun camp and returned to Huaicheng.
