Chapter 704: Sima Hui has another action
Liu Qi's military ability is not up to the forefront. All military operations are arranged by Liu Bei, to be precise, Xu Shu is commanding.
From Liu Qi's independence at the beginning, and Liu Bei's nomination of Liu Qi as the governor of Jingzhou, and even sending troops to attack Xiangyang, Xu Shu was planning and planning. Without Xu Shu's leadership, I'm afraid neither Liu Bei nor Liu Qi would have chosen to send troops at this time.
But Xu Shu was doing this at a great risk. Not to mention whether he could successfully conquer Xiangyang, Nanyang had to face other threats. The other princes were looking at the situation in Jingzhou and were preparing to take a bite at the most critical moment.
This is a big bet. If you win, Liu Bei will become the actual master of Jingzhou. If you lose, Liu Bei and Xu Shu will have to be displaced. Liu Bei and Xu Shu both knew that, but they had to bet. Even if they did not send troops, the other princes would not watch Jingzhou make a transition to power. Instead of his son and others passively defending when they attacked, it would be better to take the initiative by themselves while others were not ready, and at least be able to save their lives in failure.
Xu Shu and Liu Bei were not at all prepared.
In addition to the leading attack, Xu Shu asked Mi Fang, who was entrenched in Jiangxia County, to lead the Yellow Turban Army to threaten Jiangxia County to avoid any attacks on Nanyang County by the Jingzhou army of Jiangxia County. The prefect of Jiangxia County was Zhang Yun, and everyone in Jingzhou knew that Zhang Yun was Cai Mao's person. Liu Bei and Xu Shu both believed that Zhang Yun would not watch Liu Qi attack Xiangyang without any action. But Liu Bei and Xu Shu were a little overthinking. Although Zhang Yun is now the prefect of Jiangxia County, he was not the one he was willing to come here.
In order to go further, Zhang Yun took the lead in disguise against Cai Mao's order. Although Zhang Yun finally surrendered to Cai Mao, Cai Mao did not have any attack at that time. However, Cai Mao was worried about Zhang Yun's prestige in the army and did not dare to act rashly. When the situation was controlled by Cai Mao, Zhang Yun's life began to be unlucky. Zhang Yun was transferred directly from the deputy governor to Jiangxia County on the grounds that Jiangxia County was close to Jiangdong and had to send a general to guard. Zhang Yun was very unhappy in his heart, but the situation was settled and Zhang Yun could not make any waves.
It's different now. Liu Qi raised the banner to kill Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun couldn't even support him. How could he cause trouble for Liu Qi?
At this time, Cai Mao remembered his old subordinates and directly issued an appointment to Zhang Yun to attack Nanyang, disrupt Liu Qi's arrangements, and then attacked him on both sides. Then Liu Qi could only be defeated and Jingzhou could be restored to stability.
Zhang Yun looked at Cai Mao's order and sneered. This typical ungrateful wolf, Cai Mao, is very kind to you when he uses you, but once you offend him, even after decades, he will remember that he will take revenge on you whenever he has a chance. Zhang Yun directly replied to Cai Mao. Since there are a large number of yellow turbans in Jiangxia County, he has to be on guard against Jiangdong, and Jiangxia County is really unable to send troops at this moment.
This excuse is open and honest, Cai Mao could not refute Zhang Yun at all.
Cai Mao was very angry even though he knew that Zhang Yun was perfunctory, but he endured the anger first and then dealt with Zhang Yun when he had the chance.
Not only Liu Bei, Cai Mao was targeted by Jiangxia County, but also by Jiangxia County.
This person is Sima Hui who has been planning.
Sima Hui had long left Xiangyang City. As a wise man, Sima Hui had long seen that Liu Biao would not last long, and Cai Mao was a restless lord, so Sima Hui would not stay in Xiangyang.
The other one who left Xiangyang with Sima Hui was the old fox's family.
However, Sima Hui’s target this time was not Zhang Yun, the prefect of Jiangxia County, but another force in Jiangxia County, the “Yellow Turban Army” led by Mi Fang.
Sima Hui already knew that the Yellow Turban Army in Jiangxia County was Liu Bei's army. He had a very important purpose now. If he could succeed, he might be able to influence the situation in Jingzhou.
Sima Hui was very confident in his actions today. He sent his confidant to find out that the leader of the Yellow Turban Army was Mi Fang.
Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. Sima Hui investigated Mi Fang and finally discovered factors that were very beneficial to his plan.
Sima Hui came to Mi Fang's hidden place, which was a very secret valley. Don't ask Sima Hui how he learned it, he has his own source of information.
Sima Hui walked into the valley openly, and was caught by Mi Fang's sentry not long after he walked.
Sima Hui was not surprised but happy about this situation. He thought he would have to spend some time, but he didn't know that he would get it at all, so he said, "If I am here to see your leader, please take me there."
These sentries didn't know who the person was in front of them, and why they saw their leader as soon as they opened their mouths, and they were all very confused.
"Why are you still standing there? Will a scholar who is powerless to tie a chicken to your leader? I have something to say about your leader's life. If you are one step late, you will be in trouble." Sima Hui said lightly.
Sentinels are all rough people who don’t know a single word, and they are a little afraid of educated scholars. After all, educated people are doing well now, and ordinary people can only look up to them.
Thinking that it was related to the life of the leader, these sentries agreed to take Sima Hui to see Mi Fang.
The sentry took Sima Hui around for a long time, and finally arrived at a large pile of thatched huts, and then before the middle one. Sima Hui looked around, and soldiers with yellow cloth tied to the head came out all around, and they all looked at him in confusion.
Sima Hui smiled on his face. These people were not the Yellow Turbans at all. Sima Hui had seen what the Yellow Turbans looked like. The Yellow Turbans were all civilians who could not survive and rebelled for their own meals. So they were all thinner. How could they look like these soldiers? Everyone had a very full face, and they were clearly pretending to be pretending.
Sima Hui stood outside the door waiting for Mi Fang, and he knew that Mi Fang would definitely be willing to see him.
Mi Fang was resting in the thatched hut. When he heard the sentry saying that an old guy was going to see him, he was furious and shouted: "Where did the sour scholar come from? What are you doing? My general's time is precious. Can any cat or dog meet him? Let him get out!"
The sentry was scolded by Mi Fang, and he was so angry that he was full that he was full and was looking for trouble. So he was about to go out and vent his anger on the person who made him wronged.
Mi Fang was angry just now because she was disturbed by her sleeping time. Many people would have such things as anger when she got up. But Mi Fang was a general after all, and soon her mind became clear. He realized that he had not asked clearly and said that, what if it was his own people?
"Come back, say it again, what did the person outside say?" Mi Fang asked.
The sentry originally wanted to go out, but unexpectedly Mi Fang asked him back again, and almost flashed to his waist. Finally, he said, "General, the old guy outside said that there was something big about the general's life. The young man was blinded for a moment, and now the young man drove him away!"
"What a bastard thing to do, call him in!" Mi Fang was speechless. These subordinates really didn't know how to understand the best intentions, so they couldn't do anything that suited their wishes.
Sentinel really doesn't know what Mi Fang is thinking.
"There are you moving your mouth above and you're going to break your legs below." The sentry thought helplessly, touching his head.
Sima Hui looked at the sentry coming out and asked him to come in, and a smile appeared on his face, but it was indeed not what he expected.
Sima Hui walked directly into the thatched hut, and Mi Fang had already sat down and waited for Sima Hui.
"Who are you? What's the matter with me? It's also about my life and life. You'd better tell me if I say something, otherwise I'll be merciful and the knife in my hand will not recognize anyone!" Mi Fang threatened from the beginning. He didn't know Sima Hui, so he would naturally not have any psychological burden.
Sima Hui bowed slightly and smiled, "I have met General Mi in Sima Decao!"
Mi Fang stood up. This person was Sima Hui and Mr. Shui Jing! And what did he say just now? General Mi?! Did he see that his identity is coming? So what is the purpose of coming here today?
Sima Hui smiled and said, "General Mi, don't panic, there is no malice!"
Mi Fang's eyes shrank, and his right hand slowly placed on the hilt of the knife. He wanted to kill Sima Hui so that his identity would not be exposed. Mi Fang knew that his identity would be exposed, which would be a big blow to Liu Bei. Liu Bei's reputation was over, and he would never turn over in his life. For Liu Bei, Mi Fang could only let Sima Hui down.
Mi Fang's little moves did not hide from Sima Hui's eyes. Sima Hui said lightly: "General Mi, you can kill me. Just kill me, then no one can save you. General Mi, you have to think clearly."
Mi Fang's right hand stopped. A wise man like Sima Hui would not come here to talk nonsense for no reason. Mi Fang felt that he would not lose much if he listened to Sima Hui's words. At worst, he would just kill him when he was dissatisfied later.
"Sir, joking, please sit down!" Mi Fang stretched out his hand to a seat beside him.
Sima Hui sat down very proudly, Mi Fang nodded slightly in her heart, not afraid of danger, this is the style of everyone.
"I am stupid, I wonder what advice is there for you to come today?" Mi Fang asked seriously.
"General, your life is worrying. After I learned about the general, I came to tell you at the risk of my life!" Sima Hui kept it a secret.
Mi Fang really wants to curse people in her heart. Why are there so many knowledgeable people going around? Isn’t it enough to just say it directly?
"Sir, my time is very precious! Please tell me bluntly!" Mi Fang was a little unhappy.
Sima Hui was scheming and well-versed in observing words and expressions. He knew that he would not succeed if he continued like this. So he said: "General, you led the army to run wildly in Nanyang and Jiangxia under the banner of the Yellow Turban. He looked powerful, but he laid the root of disaster for his future defeat!"
"Just!" Mi Fang said contemptuously. His actions are arranged by Liu Bei. Xu Shu has already ordered his next action. It has been very smooth all the time. Liu Bei still values Mi Fang very much. Mi Fang himself thinks he will die.
"Hehe." Sima Hui also smiled in the face of Mi Fang's contempt.
"Does the general think I'm exaggerating? In fact, the general has forgotten one thing. This troubled time was caused by the Yellow Turban Party. Now the world of the Han Dynasty, no one will choose to forgive the Yellow Turban. The name of the Yellow Turban that General Mi now can certainly attract a large number of refugees to serve the general, and can also bring many benefits to the general's master. But the general has never thought about it. Once the general's identity is exposed, will your master save you? General, your master really chooses to save your life in the face of turbulent feelings in the world? It's not necessarily true!"
Mi Fang's face changed. If his identity was exposed, would Liu Bei really protect him? Mi Fang himself was not sure, after all, he didn't know that Liu Bei was that much. After all, he had followed Liu Bei for so many years, Mi Fang only knew that Liu Bei was a very cunning person.
Sima Hui knew that Mi Fang's face had changed, and he knew that he had spoken to Mi Fang's heart and continued: "Even if the general did not reveal his identity, everything would go smoothly according to the plan of the general and his master. But there is a saying that the general has never heard of, the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys are cooked! What's more, General, you have pretended to be the Yellow Turban to endanger the people. When the world returns to peace, will your master deal with you for your reputation? After all, this kind of thing has endangered his reputation."
Mi Fang's face had turned pale, and her head was covered in sweat.
Yes, as Sima Hui said, even if he succeeds in the future, Liu Bei will kill Mi Fang for his reputation. Liu Bei has always praised benevolence and righteousness. If others know that he arranged for Mi Fang to pretend to be the Yellow Turban, what would the world think of him? If Liu Bei doesn't want to see that situation, he will definitely choose to prevent problems before it happens. At that time, it may be a numb thing.
"Damn it! Please give me some advice!" Mi Fang was really scared.
Sima Hui smiled and said, "It's not too late for the general to wake up today. I just don't want to see the general die for nothing, so I came to tell you. Now, I point out a clear way to the general. Whether the general adopts it depends on the general himself."
"Thank you, sir, I will listen." Mi Fang said gratefully.
Sima Hui came to Mi Fang's ear and said something. Mi Fang's face slowly changed. Finally, she said in surprise: "Sir, this..."
"General, there are ears to the wall. As long as the general is calm, he will make proper arrangements for the general at critical moments." Sima Hui reminded.
"I understand!" Mi Fang suddenly realized.
"I'm saying goodbye!" Sima Hui bowed and said.
"Thank you, sir, I will do as you told me!" Mi Fang bowed and said.
