Sima Yi nodded and said: "I don't dare to lie in the least. Zhuge Liang is now inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. According to my brother's information, Zhuge Jin seems to have controlled one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Jiangling City."
, Xiangyang City has 200,000 soldiers. Last time our army defeated nearly 40,000 people, leaving more than 160,000 people. If all these soldiers and horses are in Zhuge Liang's hands, then he will have enough bargaining chips to negotiate with His Majesty.
.”
Gao Fei said: "With Zhuge Liang's talent, it is a bit far-fetched to control more than 160,000 troops under Liu Bei's nose. Liu Bei is also the overlord of a party. Although his talent is not outstanding, he is quite capable of controlling people.
Why are so many people willing to follow him? Presumably he also has a
The charm of human personality. I have always felt that there is something fishy about this matter. Zhuge Liang refused to surrender sooner or later, but he surrendered at this time. It is difficult for people not to be suspicious. If he really wanted to surrender, why did he openly fight against me?
Book, still defeated our army in Wancheng, causing heavy casualties to our army?"
Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, there may be another possibility..."
"What's possible?" Gao Fei asked hurriedly.
"That's what Zhuge Liang is showing you... what he is showing to China... The emperor's ministers are looking for Zhuge Liang in Langya, isn't it because they fancy his talent? Although Zhuge Liang's family has moved away from Langya, their clan members are still there. Knowing that the emperor
He was deliberately searching for Zhuge Liang, how could he not use the letter
How to convey Zhuge Liang? If Zhuge Liang only regards Liu Bei as a springboard for him to become famous, then in the battle at Wancheng, his name will have been known to the world, and the purpose of becoming famous has been achieved." Sima Yi stopped mid-sentence.
He stopped talking, squinted at Gao Fei, and stopped talking.
After hearing this, Gao Fei frowned and said to Sima Yi: "Keep talking!"
"I obey the order!" Sima Yi kowtowed, "I think that good ministers choose their masters and serve. Everyone can see that Liu Bei's situation is over. Zhuge Liang is a wise man. How could he not see it? The former Feng Chu left the Han Dynasty and entered the country.
Wei, now he has led the Wei army to conquer half of Shuhan, isn't it?
For a place where he can display his talents? Zhuge Liang is known as Wolong and is as famous as Feng Chu, so he can naturally understand the details. Therefore, I believe that the purpose of Zhuge Liang's negotiation with the emperor this time is very clear, just to have
A bigger platform to display your talents.”
"You mean, it's true that Zhuge Liang took refuge in me?" After hearing this, Gao Fei felt that it made sense, but once he was bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of ropes for ten years. Last time he almost lost his life for a Jushu,
This time another Zhuge Liang is here, can he not be cautious?
Youdao is not afraid that gangsters can learn martial arts, but is afraid that gangsters are educated. Compared with those first-class generals who are superior in force, the lethality of wise men is obviously much higher than that of generals. A general, no matter how superb his martial arts is
, he is fighting alone after all, and it is relatively simple to capture him.
But a wise man hides in the dark. You can't see him, but he can see you, and the means of dealing with you are also hard for you to guard against. He will not rush out to fight for you alone like a general, but hides behind you.
Thousands of people are using their ingenuity to play tricks on you behind your back. It will be easy to deal with you after you are dizzy and exhausted physically and mentally.
Therefore, when dealing with resourceful people, Gao Fei needs to be careful and cautious. If he is not careful, tens of thousands of people may lose their lives. The Battle of Chibi in history is a lesson learned from Gao Fei's mistakes. He must stay calm.
Only by keeping a good mind and guarding against arrogance and impetuosity can you be invincible.
Sima Yi said: "At least for now, I can't see any scheming in Zhuge Liang, and his first requirement is to join the Senate and regard himself as prime minister. Not all surrendered generals have the courage to propose this."
Coming out. Zhuge Liangcong
The smart thing about Ming is that he is good at judging the situation and knows when to surrender and when to fight. If he surrenders now, he still has chips in his hand. If he really waits until he is defeated by our army before surrendering, he still has chips.
Why would you make the same request again?"
After hearing what Sima Yi said, Gao Fei couldn't help laughing and said: "Very good, your thinking is different from those of the Privy Council officers. Although Guo Fengxiao also holds different opinions, he may not be able to analyze it with you.
So thorough. I am impressed by how well you understand Zhuge Liang. I heard that you have been purchasing confidential information from the Intelligence Department?"
Sima Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed several times, and shouted loudly: "I am guilty! I deserve to die for my crime! Even if I die, I cannot absolve myself of the blame! I..."
"Okay, okay, you should get up too. I didn't say I was going to punish you? The Intelligence Department is directly subordinate to me, and all information is collected to me. Do you think you can bribe Lin Chu with your little salary?
?Don’t forget, Lin
Chu is Bian Xi's second deputy. He was promoted by Bian Xi and taught by Bian Xi himself. The selection of personnel in the Intelligence Department has always been extremely strict, so every intelligence officer is loyal to me."
Sima Yi asked suspiciously: "Then why is Minister Lin still willing to sell information to me? Could it be that all this is the emperor's will?"
Lin Chu is the minister of the Ministry of Intelligence and Bian Xi's second-in-command. He has no final members in Youbeiping. When Gao Fei sent troops to attack Yuan Shao, he replaced the injured Bian Xi as an envoy to Jin. He successfully led Lu Bu to Jizhou and joined forces with Gao Fei.
Cooperate to attack Yecheng.
Later, in the scout system, he repeatedly made outstanding achievements. During the two years when Bian Xi was lurking in the Wei State, he was responsible for all the scouts. Therefore, after the founding of the Huaxia Kingdom, Lin Chu was granted the title of official of the Intelligence Department based on his meritorious service.
Minister, the third rank of official position.
In fact, the acquaintance between Sima Yi and Lin Chu was also an accident. Sima Yi was still young at that time. When he was playing in Jicheng, he accidentally bumped into Lin Chu who was helpless. After asking about the cause of the matter, he helped Lin Chu.
An idea helped Lin Chu solve the problem. From then on, the two became friends forever.
When Sima Yi became the prefect of Langya, because Langya was located in the eastern part of the Huaxia Kingdom, Qingzhou and Xuzhou were relatively stable, and Sima Yi also wanted to know some important national affairs, so he used this relationship.
At this time, Sima Yi suddenly heard Gao Fei talk about this incident, and Sima Yi suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He thought he could infiltrate the Intelligence Department, but he didn't know that Gao Fei had arranged all this.
"Haha, now that you know it, I don't plan to hide it from you anymore. During the two years when you became the magistrate of Langya, all the information Lin Chu gave you was authorized by me. I'm afraid that you are ignorant and ignorant.
, I don’t know the current situation, that’s all. Get up now, the ground is cold, and kneeling for a long time is not good for your knees.”
Sima Yi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and thought that this emperor was really terrible.
Gao Fei glanced sideways at Sima Yi. After seeing Sima Yi's worried expression, he sneered in his heart and thought to himself: "You are the person who knows how to hide your strength and bide your time best in history, and you are extremely ambitious. If I don't guard against you,
Come on, aren't I making a wedding dress for you? Fortunately, your performance did not disappoint me. This time, I want to remind you, let you know, don't think that you are really ignorant of the things you do.
Go to sleep, but the door is clear."
In Gao Fei's mind, he must both use and defend against Sima Yi. He must grasp the scale, otherwise, trouble will easily occur. Hitting you with a mallet and giving you a candy is the most suitable method to deal with Sima Yi.
Among his ministers, the only one he was wary of was Sima Yi, because Sima Yi was a famous careerist in history and he had to be wary of him.
Therefore, Gao Fei has always had spies around Sima Yi to monitor Sima Yi all the time. Of course, Sima Yi didn't know all this, and he was always kept in the dark.
After Sima Yi stood up, Gao Fei took out an imperial edict from his arms, held it in front of Sima Yi, and said loudly: "Sima Yi accepts the decree!"
"General Sima Yi, kneel down and listen to the imperial edict!" Sima Yi just stood up and knelt down again. What Gao Fei said just now made him feel that Gao Fei was scary. Gao Fei was very smart. He was so smart that he didn't dare to have any evil intentions.
Distracted thoughts, this time he suddenly gave him an imperial edict, which made his heart beat thumping non-stop.
"From today on, I will appoint you as the General of the Conquest of the South. I will allocate you 50,000 horse infantry troops to take the route of Jiangxia and return between Xiangyang and Jiangling City. Then we will capture a city and cut off all connections between Xiangyang and Jiangling."
Sima Yi was so flattered that he was suddenly promoted to a high rank and given the command of troops. What an honor it was. He hurriedly thanked him and said, "My lord, Sima Yi, has received the order to express my gratitude!"
"Well, get up. If you go deep behind enemy lines, you will definitely be in danger. For this reason, I specially sent Zhang He, Chen Dao, Wenpin, and Jia Kui to your account. You will be appointed as the general of the Southern Conqueror, and you will have the title of four
Above all, all military operations will be decided by you. In addition, I will send Privy Council Taiwei Guo Jia to serve as military supervisor and military advisor. You will discuss it sooner or later and make sure there are no mistakes." Gao Fei continued.
"I obey the decree. What about Zhuge Liang's surrender?"
"I have my own opinion on this matter and cannot be led by Zhuge Liang. In addition, Gan Ning's 50,000 navy troops are about to arrive at Jiangling. I will send an order to him to let him fight side by side with you and cut off with 100,000 troops.
All the connections between Jiangling and Xiangyang City put pressure on Zhuge Liang!"
"I understand."
At this time, Zhang Zhongjing came in from the outside with Lu Heng. Gao Fei sent Sima Yi away and asked him to gather all the troops and horses to prepare for the expedition.
"I will see you, Your Majesty." Zhang Zhongjing and Lu Heng bowed together.
Gao Fei asked: "Is it because the poison that causes amnesia has never been developed?"
