Chapter 1817: The Calm Before the Storm

Sima Yi, who is currently studying hard, naturally does not know that Zhang Chunhua, the first wife in official history who gave birth to Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and Princess Nanyang, is now being led into the pit by Ji Xiang.

They are both female precepts, and the core of their thoughts taught by different people must be different. The so-called Six Classics annotate me, and I annotate the Six Classics. Guys who can stand at the top of all walks of life cannot be parallel imports. Ji Xiang's female precepts are naturally inevitable.

Add your own thoughts.

As mentioned at the beginning, all human cognitions are biased. The so-called emotional closeness is doomed to be unbiased. Man Chong’s spiritual talent is known as being impartial and law-abiding, but it is inevitable that he will be unbiased towards Liu Ye.

Favoritism, to be precise, is unavoidable.

In addition, Zhang Chunhua is young, although he has some opinions and is indeed smart, but his character is not essentially the kind of righteousness that leads to the great road. If he is educated by a good teacher, he may still be able to reconcile yin and yang and follow a fairly righteous path.

However, a character like Ji Xiang is not considered brilliant in any era. As the chief priest of Xuanyuan, she has abandoned some things due to the way of education, resulting in her concept of moral right and wrong being much lighter than that of normal people.

For a person whose ego is close to the superego state and who ignores the constraints of moral rationality, it would be crazy if the education given to him could be the same as that of a normal person.

Naturally, Zhang Chunhua, who had a somewhat gloomy nature, could not help but lean to one side under Ji Xiang's education. After all, it is the same learning, the same thing. Learning from Ji Xiang is obviously easier than learning from other teachers, so why not learn from Ji Xiang?

?

Zhang Chunhua, who is naturally smart, consciously chose Ji Xiang's education method, because there is really no education that is more suitable for her than Ji Xiang's darker style.

Sima Yi, who was inexplicably ordering the army and conducting training, suddenly soaked the clothes on his back with cold sweat, and then his head glanced left and right involuntarily, while Fazheng, who was eating on the side, watched with interest the exaggerated movements of Sima Yi's head.

"Zhongda, what's wrong with you?" Fazheng looked at Sima Yi with interest and asked, "Why do I feel like you suddenly panicked?"

"I don't know what happened, I just feel like a disaster is coming." A rare trace of panic appeared on Sima Yi's face, and he really felt that a kind of malice was coming.

"Huh?" Fazheng couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes because of Sima Yi's panic, "I don't know whether you are scared or not, but I think the way your head turned around just now was inexplicably scary and ridiculous."

Sima Yi's face turned dark when he heard this, but seeing that this was what Fazheng said, he didn't argue too much. The other party must be strong and capable, and after a period of time, Sima Yi and Fazheng continued to communicate, and found out

What this young man, who was only three years older than him, learned was simply frightening to him.

Originally, Sima Yi thought that the other party was only proficient in military tactics, but the exchanges during this period of time surprised him. He was simply amazed by the opponent's military tactics, and other aspects such as political strategy, dispatch, planning, and farming and raising the people were all described in the other party's words.

Although he was not good at the type, in Sima Yi's opinion, the opponent seemed not to be underestimated.

This dissipated most of Sima Yi's original idea of ​​gesticulating. Of course, it was mainly because Sima Yi found that apart from teasing him for being more aggressive, the other party was actually very humble in terms of military strategy and internal affairs, and rarely showed any arrogance.

In other words, in Sima Yi's opinion, apart from being a bit venomous when dealing with others, Fa Zheng was still very good at dealing with others, and he was also considered approachable, so Sima Yi had no intention of quarreling with Fa Zheng.

In fact, Fazheng seemed to be telling him that it was not that he was being humble, but that he felt guilty squatting among Chen Xi's group of people, so he had to be modest and modest.

"According to the report from Tanma, those people from Northern Xinjiang will arrive in two days at most. What about Mao Xiaoxian? Although he hid well, I also touched his tail, but he still hasn't come out yet. It's too late.

Don't give me face." Fazheng did not continue to insult Sima Yi and decisively changed the topic.

"It will probably appear in the next day or two. After all, we will inevitably have to welcome the returning soldiers, carry the coffins of the soldiers who died in northern Xinjiang back to the Central Plains, and arrange for no less than 400,000 prisoners. This is very important.

It's a troublesome matter. Even though Mao Xiaoxian knows that you and I are here, I'm afraid he's worried that he won't be able to handle it well." Sima Yi briefly explained.

"But it's been so many days, and the other party hasn't sent anyone to meet me, and it really doesn't give me face. When we meet, there will be no rush." ​​Fazheng curled his lips and said, he understood this truth.

But if you are unhappy, you are unhappy, and there is nothing to say.

"Then it will all depend on your real skills. Mao Xiaoxian is extremely low-key, and I don't know what abilities he has until now. So if you go up against him, I will happily observe him." Sima Yi said.

He said calmly, as if he wanted Fazheng to face off against Mao Jie, and then let him collect the fighting power of both sides.

"It's just a joke. I'm not so careless about the overall situation." Fa Zheng said casually. Although he was unhappy with Mao Jie, he also knew that now was not the time to make excuses.

Although we have caught some traces of Mao Jie's army appearing nearby, to be honest, as long as this kind of thing is not caught, there is nothing you can do if Mao Jie doesn't come to see you. After all, the two sides are in different systems.

.

"How is the situation in Chang'an recently?" Sima Yi suddenly asked Fazheng.

"How do I know? I haven't paid attention to Chang'an at all recently." Fazheng said casually.

When Sima Yi heard this, he just glanced at Fazheng and said nothing more about it. Since Fazheng didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask.

As for Zheng's statement that he really didn't know about such a thing, Sima Yi wouldn't believe it. He didn't believe that Fa Zheng said that he had completely escaped here. What's more, even if he escaped secretly, Sima Yi believed that someone would remember it.

Give an explanation to Fa Zheng.

Something as big as the Southern Xiongnu happened in Chang'an. The only one who rushed down in advance to take care of things and had a very good intelligence, Fa Zhengyang, could really simply sneak away. Sima Yi was the first to not believe it.

It should even be said that even if no one tells someone like Fazheng, he can clearly distinguish priorities. After the Southern Xiongnu were defeated in their march south, the first priority was not to clean up the remaining Southern Xiongnu surrenderers, nor to communicate with the northern Xinjiang, but to

You should pay attention to Chang'an.

Let me say something that shouldn't be said at the moment. The gathering point of the world's affairs is in Chang'an, where the emperor is. Under such circumstances, all other things should be put in the back row. Sima Yi didn't believe in Fa Zheng and couldn't tell.

The other person's answer translated into human language is, don't interfere in this matter, I won't tell you the situation, just do your own thing.

But Sima Yi was really itching in his heart now. There was nothing he could do about it. The situation in Chang'an was still unclear when he left, but now, he suddenly found that the situation had changed, and the change was very big.

Cao Cao's retreat allowed Sima Yi to see Cao Cao's true thoughts, and whether Liu Xuande was sincere or fake, it was impossible for him to change the emperor's position in the short term.

This means that although there are some problems between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, judging from the current situation, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are on the same page.

Sima Yi has now figured out all the clues in his mind. The current situation of Cao Cao and Sun Ce will definitely not allow Liu Bei to take over. Although from Sima Yi's point of view, Liu Bei may have the strength to challenge the two of them alone, but it is not necessary.

If Cao Cao and Sun Ce were singled out, Sima Yi knew that the loss would not be too light even if he thought about it on his knees. Now that Cao Cao and Liu Bei can continue to talk, and Cao Cao has already made concessions to the emperor once, then Liu Bei and Cao Cao actually have a basis for cooperation.

of.

Although it does not conform to the normal principle of two weak parties joining forces to fight against a strong enemy, it is very likely to happen when both parties have the same will.

Even in Sima Yi's thinking, if Liu Bei is brave enough and offers enough benefits, Cao Cao may not bow his head, because in Sima Yi's view, Cao Cao has bowed his head once for the Han Dynasty not long ago, so he may not be able to bow his head again this time.

Therefore, in Sima Yi's thinking, it is not impossible for Liu Bei to take control of Chang'an at this time. As long as the operation is good, Liu Xie can be directly used as a puppet and Cao Cao's lineage can be given enough autonomy. It is possible for both parties to sit down and talk.

After all, the banner of the Han Empire has never fallen down, and the party struggles between Liu, Cao, and Sun were exaggerated at most, and did not seriously affect the lives of the people at the bottom.

The current living environment of the people of the Han Dynasty is better than that of more than ten years ago, more than twenty years ago, and the next fifty years, whether under Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, or even

Things were much better under Liu Zhang's rule.

In this case, the banner of the Han Dynasty did not fall. For most people, Liu Caosun's banner was actually not more orthodox than the Han banner, so they had the basic conditions to sit down and talk.

To put it bluntly, politics means compromise. Cao Cao's goal is to conquer the Western Han Dynasty as a general, and Liu Bei's current goal seems to be Zhou Gongdan. The two can obviously be coordinated.

What's more important is the current situation. Sima Yi can finally see it clearly. With Chen Zichuan on Liu Bei's side, normal development will only make Cao Cao and Sun Ce's gap with Liu Bei wider and wider if they are tied together. In this case, it is better to change.

way.

Since it is impossible to win the war this way, why not change it to a temple war? Although Sima Yi believed that many people under Liu Bei could see that if they kept delaying it, they would win sooner or later, but how long would it take?

If it were a temple dispute, if nothing else, those who planned to take advantage of Long would basically be able to get benefits immediately. However, if Sima Yi thought about it from a human perspective, Cao Cao would use a conspiracy to place this opportunity at the moment.

On the surface, it is really not certain how much Liu Bei can remain unwavering.

After all, if you can master the power of the dragon twice, why not give it a try? Even if you screw up, it's none of their business, and it really turns into a temple fight, and those civil servants who made suggestions are 30% more likely to escape unscathed.

With so many benefits, Sima Yi estimated that it was very likely that Liu Bei was deceived by his subordinates into sitting down and talking with Cao Cao.

As for Sun Ce, what's the problem? From Sima Yi's point of view, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had such an opportunity to invade Sun Ce's interests, why didn't they do it.

As for offending Sun Ce, what can we do? If we get to the negotiation table, it is basically a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to overturn it based on the strength of Sun Ce.

After thinking about this clearly, Sima Yi was very interested in the situation in Chang'an, because if this was really the case, the Liu family's clan should start to connect in series now, preparing to pry the emperor's corner.

It's a pity that Sima Yi doesn't have many informants in Chang'an. In addition, he is currently at the junction of Sili and Bingzhou, and it takes too much time to travel. There is really no way to control the situation remotely. Otherwise, Sima Yi wouldn't mind controlling the situation remotely.

In fact, when Sima Yi figured this out, after Zhou Yu was liberated from the heavy government affairs on the way south, he also guessed this possibility from various details.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yu becomes more silent as he goes south, and even gradually alienates Chen Xi and Xun Yu, because what may happen next, in Zhou Yu's opinion, is really too bad for their Jiangdong forces.

Liu Bei is a member of the clan, and no matter how violent Cao Cao is, the situation under Fang Kong's rule has already shown his thoughts. Cao Cao is a Han official. In this case, if Liu Bei and Cao Cao sit down to talk, they Jiangdong, or Sun Ce, will sit down.

Where?

If you continue on the path of division without understanding the current affairs, isn't that not seeking death?

As for sitting at the negotiating table, all Zhou Yu could think of was negotiating with Cao Cao and then using Cao Cao's win to enter the negotiating table. But in this case, he would inevitably need to keep in step with Cao Cao.

Their Jiangdong power is the weakest among the three parties. Although Cao Cao's foundation was damaged once in his early years, Cao Cao's foundation is strong. His civil and military ministers are at most slightly inferior to Liu Bei. What they lack is just elite veterans.

Under such circumstances, if you rely on Cao Cao's solicitation to enter the negotiation table, on the one hand, you will inevitably be Liu Bei's hostility, and on the other hand, you will inevitably be in step with Cao Cao. In this case, it will not take long for Cao Cao to gradually restrict you due to lack of autonomy.

It's even too much to say that if they are the weakest and mess around like this, it is not impossible that they may be gradually absorbed by Cao Cao.

What's more important is that fighting in the temple is completely different from fighting on the battlefield. Although Zhou Yu is confident that his intelligence is not bad, if he fights in the temple, Zhou Yu feels now that he and Chen Xi will be tricked to death sooner or later.

Chen Xi may not be in serious trouble because of his spiritual talent. At most, he will lose most of his power, but his personal safety and status may not be a problem. But he and Sun Ce, come on, will definitely be drowned alive by that pool of water called politics.

die.

So Zhou Yu is now thinking about how to spoil the possible negotiation between Cao and Liu. By the way, he now has some clues...
