Chapter 61: Destroy Cao Fuhan
The quiet and ancient fragrance of nine astronomy netizens hit it
The elegant and luxurious woman walked into the room and came to the young man and whispered: "Husband, Prime Minister Cao led his troops to come in person, only two miles away from the mansion."
The young man held the bamboo slips and thought for a while, put the books back on the bookshelf, walked silently to the low couch in the study room, and slowly lay down.
Seeing this, the woman exited the room.
Clam
The soldier in armor walked with a loud noise. Outside the study, a powerful figure appeared in the soldiers' path.
"Haha, Zhongda, I heard that you were ill in bed, so I came to visit you in person."
Cao Cao came to visit him and was not really free to see a white Sima Yi.
There was a bit of sinister look between his eyebrows, and Cao Cao was a little angry.
This Sima Yi, who is ignorant of the current affairs!
He even called him sick and ruthless when he was recruited for the second time!
In fact, Cao Cao no longer cared about Sima Yi a few years ago, but Xun Yu recommended it, and Cui Yan recommended it again. Both talents around him highly praised Sima Yi, so Cao Cao had to pay attention to it.
So, he asked Sima Yi to come out again, but Sima Yi still rejected him.
It is said that Sima Yi was paralyzed from wind and could not move.
Cao Cao walked to Sima Yi's bed, looked at Sima Yi's expressionless and lifeless look, and snorted coldly in his heart.
He turned around and seemed to give up, but suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed at Sima Yi who was lying motionless on the bed.
The sword is sharp and the light and shadow are dazzling.
The tip of the sword was less than an inch away from Sima Yi's neck, but Sima Yi's body was still motionless, and even his eyes and facial expressions did not change at all.
Cao Cao frowned slightly. He suddenly attacked, just to see Sima Yi's reaction during the sudden change. As a result, he failed.
In other words, Sima Yi, who was lying on the bed, had long expected Cao Cao to test him.
After putting away his sword, Cao Cao said indifferently that he would be cured and he led his army to leave.
The room returned to silence, Sima Yi was still lying still, and his wife Zhang Chunhua walked over and stood beside the bed.
"I'm going to pretend to be sick recently and don't let people get close to you."
After Sima Yi said that, Zhang nodded and left, but when she was about to walk out of the room, Sima Yi said another sentence.
"Today's sun shines brightly, I asked someone to help me take out the books in the study and spread them out."
Zhang nodded and agreed. Soon, the maids walked in and moved all the books in the study to the courtyard outside the room and spread them on the ground.
After doing this, Zhang asked the maids not to enter the courtyard where Sima Yi's study room was located.
Sima Yi, who was lying on the bed, sneered on the corner of his mouth.
Cao Cao?
Why do I work hard for you? Isn’t anyone in the world seeing through the ambitions of the Cao family? Celebrities may be infamous for thousands of years. Who will rashly get on your Cao family’s ship if you have no confidence in this kind of thing?
Sima Yi, who was thinking with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a burst of thunder.
The wind and clouds are surging, and the weather is unpredictable. It seems that it was a sunny day before, but now it is covered with dark clouds and it is about to rain heavily.
Sima Yi immediately sat up from the bed, ran out of the study room, and came to the courtyard to carry the books exposed to the ground into his arms and sent them back to the study room.
Just as he was sweating profusely, a maid passed by the courtyard and saw his movements, so she hurried over to help Sima Yi.
Was it alas, the bamboo slips in Sima Yi's arms fell on the ground. He looked at the maid lightly, but the maid was still carefully packing up the paper slip without any sense of anything. Sima Yi stood up and walked towards the study room. At this moment, his wife Zhang came to the door of the study room. Sima Yi stopped when she was about to pass by her.
Siman's face had no expression, Sima Yi's lips moved slightly, and he spit out four words: "No trace left."
Zhang said nothing and nodded slightly.
Sima Yi returned to the study and continued to lie on the bed to pretend to be sick, and the maid who helped him never appeared in the Sima family's mansion again.
Cao Cao was eager to recruit Sima Yi for his own use. In addition to the recommendation of Xun Yu and Cui Yan, the deeper reason was that he wanted to give his successor Cao Chong some talents, whether it was Xun Yu, Cui Yan, Mao Jie, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others around him, who were almost young, and Sima Yi was less than 30 years old. He had to pave the way for his descendants, and the first thing was young talents.
Cao Cao, who already has the intention to be independent, wanted to go further, so he had to create public opinion first and get the support of his own people.
Neither civil and military loyal to the Cao family nor those who take advantage of the situation will disobey Cao Cao's wishes, but there is one person who Cao Cao is very eager to get his support.
Under Cao Cao's rule, it can be divided into three groups. The first sect is the loyal Cao family and the group that is led by Cao Cao. The second sect is the imperial party. Most of these are down-and-out gentry. They are suppressed by Cao Cao and cannot raise their heads. They can only hope that Liu Xie will regain power and restore the glory of the gentry to the past. The third sect is the capable and ambitious people who are determined to revive the Han Dynasty.
After all, the first two groups of people are for personal gain. The patriots led by Xun Yu took it as their mission to support the Han Dynasty. At first glance, they should have the same ambitions as the Imperial Party, but otherwise, the gentry who supported the Imperial Party was essentially for the prosperity of the family, not the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. Only the group led by Xun Yu took the ideal of clearing the peace and reviving the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, the group represented by Xun Yu followed Cao Cao, and did not support Cao Cao without hesitation in everything. The reason for assisting Cao Cao was because Xun Yu believed that only Cao Cao could help the Han Dynasty complete the great cause of revival in this world.
When Cao Cao wanted to be independent, he wanted to draw a clear line with the Han Dynasty and let everyone under his rule understand that what they were loyal to was no longer the Han Dynasty, but his Cao family.
He secretly instructed Dong He and others to test Xun Yu's intentions.
Dong He led a group of ministers to Xun Yu's mansion, said something indirectly to praise Cao Cao, and then gave a suggestion to ask Liu Xie to be named Duke of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao no longer needs to say much about Xun Yu. Xun Yu has been in the middle for many years. Among the civil officials, who is most valued by Cao Cao, it is undoubtedly Xun Yu. In addition to his official position, Cao Cao also named Xun Yu as the Marquis of Wansuiting.
An official who was in civil servant, never led troops to fight and had no field achievements, could be granted a title of marquis, which was unprecedented in the history of the Han Dynasty!
Therefore, Cao Cao hopes that Xun Yu can support him and still firmly serve as his backing to work together.
But after hearing what Dong He and others said, Xun Yu shook his head and said, "A gentleman loves his friends with virtue, so it is not appropriate. The Prime Minister raises troops to eliminate violence to the Ning Kingdom. He has always maintained loyalty and integrity and kept the truth of giving in. How can we go against the Prime Minister's wishes?"
Everyone understands the meaning of the words.
Xun Yu did not support Cao Cao and then went further.
He was already the prime minister, and he was in charge of military power and was granted the title of a county marquis. It was already a great achievement for the ministers to achieve this point. If they go further, they would be ruthless.
Cao Cao in Xun Yu's heart was loyal to the Han Dynasty. Dong He and others' proposals were to push Cao Cao into a situation of disloyalty and unrighteousness.
Although it is not a king, it is a proposal to appoint a duke.
However, there was no noble title of "Duke". In the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, only one person was a duke. The man was named Wang Mang. Before usurping the Han Dynasty, he proclaimed himself "Duke Anhan" and Cao Cao wanted to be Duke Wei, but his intention was obvious. The next step was definitely King Wei. Emperor Gaozu had a lesson: No king of different surnames could be granted a king!
If they are already the King of Wei that the Han Dynasty cannot tolerate, how far is it from the Emperor of Wei?
Autumn of the 12th year of Jian'an
It is rainy and cool and pleasant.
Guo Jia plays chess with Jia Xu in the pavilion in the mansion, and they have a chance to win and lose.
Jia Xu smiled and made a move, making a lot of calmness.
"The official still can't guess how the lord wants to play this game."
What Jia Xu said was intentional.
No one could guess whether Guo Jia was going to send troops to attack Cao Cao from Hangu Pass or to send troops to sweep Jingzhou from Hanzhong and Padong first.
Guo Jia looked at the autumn rain, soft and silently, and said lightly: "The world is about to usher in a change of the decisive pattern."
When Jia Xu heard this, he changed his mind and still couldn't guess what Guo Jia said.
Guo Jia's fingers were clamped with chess pieces and fell down, and he thought to himself: Red Cliff is not far away.
Just as the two were playing chess leisurely, someone broke in without notice.
Guo Jia looked up and was stunned.
Xi Zhicai's sleeve robe was wet with rain, and his expression was dazed, with wet marks covering his face, and tears were clearly visible to him.
"Lord, Wenruo, Wenruo, died."
After saying that, Xi Zhicai, the man who was ranked first among the civil officials under Guo Jia, actually sat on the ground and cried loudly.
With a chess piece in his hand, Guo Jia stood up with a blood-faced face and opened his mouth to let Xi Zhicai repeat what he had just said, but his lips moved and could not say a word. Tears gushed out in his shocked eyes. Guo Jia suddenly felt dizzy and his body fell down.
After the rain, the sky clears up.
No matter how civil and military officials gathered in Guo’s mansion, they were guarding Guo Jia’s house.
The fact that Guo Jia fainted made everyone's heart hang up.
Fortunately, Guo Jia was fine after waking up, so he let all the civil and military officials disperse. Guo Jia even drove his wife and concubine out of the room, lay alone on the bed, hugging the quilt and covering his head, and bursting out of the voice.
After leaving the house for two months, Guo Jia became very depressed without asking about political affairs.
At this time, someone from Central China came to pay a visit to Guo Jia.
Xun Yun.
Guo Jia received him at home because in Guo Jia's eyes, he was not an outsider, he was Xun Yu's son.
Xun Yun was also immersed in the pain of losing his father, wearing mourning clothes. He came to Guo Jia with a square box in his arms. He just called the envoy, and Guo Jia, who had a haggard face, said gently to him: "No need to see me, this is my home, you can call me uncle."
Xun Yun nodded in his tears, and he presented the square box to Guo Jia, saying, "Uncle, this is what my father asked me to give to you before his death."
Guo Jia took the box, reached out and pressed it on it, his face was sad, closed his eyes and held the tears. After taking a deep breath, he slowly opened the square box.
There was a piece of white silk lying quietly inside. Although it was folded, you could see the bright red color inside the white silk.
Guo Jia trembled with his hands and opened the white silk, with four thick blood-colored characters on it.
Destroy Cao and support Han!
