Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 117 The agreement with old friend Yang Xiu, Sima Yis long-cherished wish!
Chapter 117 The agreement with old friend Yang Xiu, Sima Yis long-cherished wish!
It can be seen from this that at that time, he still looked down on the Cao family who usurped the power of the Han Dynasty and played with the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
After all, his Sima family has been greatly favored by the emperors of the Han Dynasty for generations. He further prospered during the Han Dynasty, and the status of the thousand-year-old family was further consolidated.
Besides, the Sima family is a descendant of Chongli, the son of Gaoyang, that is, Xia Guan Zhurong. From ancient times to the Shang Dynasty, the position of Xia Guan was inherited from generation to generation.
In the Zhou Dynasty, Xia Guan was renamed Sima, and his family background was still very prominent. Although it was not the most top-notch family background, it was still middle-class.
During the reign of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, his ancestor Cheng Boxiu and his father contributed greatly to the pacification of Xu Fang, and bestowed Sima with the family name. Sima Yi's twelfth generation ancestor Sima Yan followed Xiang Yu to destroy Qin, was granted the title of King of Yin, and established his capital in Hanoi. This was probably the most glorious moment of the Sima family so far.
,
Looking back now, if I had gotten things done in Gaopingling, the Sima family would have had a more glorious moment than the Chu-Han period.
If this is done, it will not only be his own glory, but also the glory of the Sima family. It will be enough to prove that Sima Yi and his descendants are better than the twelfth generation ancestor Sima Xian, and they can also reproduce
The glory of the Sima family,
After all, in this era, only by standing at the highest level can one completely control one's own destiny. Even when he was the Taifu of the Wei Dynasty, he was already one of the highest positions in the Wei Dynasty.
He couldn't control his own destiny in his own hands, but had to leave his destiny in the hands of the emperors of the Wei Dynasty and the relatives of the Wei Dynasty like Cao Hong, Cao Zidan, and Cao Shuang. After all, compared to him,
The person sitting in that seat still believes more in himself, except of course Cao Pi. Cao Pi was able to control him when he was there, so of course he had more trust in him.
Among the auxiliary ministers appointed after his death, he was also included. When Cao Rui appointed the auxiliary ministers later, there was no one available, so he had to use such a person who looked at the wolf with eagle eyes.
Hanoi, which was the capital when Sima Yan became king, became Hanoi County during the Han Dynasty. The Sima family lived here for generations. After all, this was their blessed land. The Sima family had once been king here, so how could they give it up so easily.
Sima Yi's great-great-grandfather Sima Jun was the general who conquered the west during the reign of Emperor Han'an of Han Dynasty, his great-grandfather Sima Liang was the prefect of Yuzhang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi), and his grandfather Sima Jun was the prefect of Yingchuan (now Yuzhou, Henan).
His father, Sima Fang, was the Zhaoyin of the capital. Although he was not the most powerful person in the world, he could still be regarded as the highest administrator in the capital. Everyone who arrived in the capital had to give him some face.
Even the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was aware of the reputation of his father Sima Fang. Senior officials in the capital and aristocratic families were willing to associate with his Sima family. In addition, the reputation of his Sima family for thousands of years,
There were even more people who were willing to be friends with the Sima family. At that time, Taiwei Yang Biao had a marriage relationship with his Sima family. Unfortunately, due to various changes such as the clothing and belt edict, the marriage ended.
Sima Fang raised eight sons, and because they all had the character "da" in their names, they were known as Sima Bada at that time.
Cao Cao gradually realized that Sima Yi had "great ambitions" and also found that he had "the appearance of a wolf", which made him very taboo. Therefore, he told Cao Pi that Sima Yi was not a willing servant and would definitely interfere in our family affairs.
However, because Cao Pi had a good relationship with Sima Yi and always protected him, nothing happened. Therefore, Sima Yi was diligent in his duties and forgot to eat and sleep, which made Cao Cao feel at ease.
In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215 years), Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, and Sima Yi accompanied the army.
He said to Cao Cao: "Liu Bei conspired to capture Liu Zhang. Before the people in Shu surrendered to him, he raised troops to fight for Jiangling. This is a great opportunity to defeat Liu.
If the troops demonstrate in Hanzhong today, Yizhou (referring to the Shu region) will be shaken and restless. If we advance to threaten the troops again, the Shu troops will inevitably collapse. If we take advantage of this opportunity, we will definitely achieve great success.
A sage cannot go against his time, nor can he lose his time." But Cao Cao said: "People are suffering from dissatisfaction. They have already obtained Longyou and still want to obtain Shu. This is a lack of human heart."
So he didn't follow Sima Yi's advice. Then Sima Yi followed Cao Cao to conquer Sun Quan in the south and defeated Sun Quan. It was precisely because Cao Cao didn't follow his advice.
Only then did he give today's bereaved dog Hanoi Sima a place to live - Shu Han. If Cao Cao had followed his advice and taken the lead in occupying Shu,
Then wouldn't he have no choice but to go south to join Soochow? Although the road to the south is easier, after all, there are many hills and flat lands in the south, while there are many mountains in the west, and the road is narrow, rugged and difficult to navigate.
It is difficult to move by yourself and Cao Shuang's pursuers are also difficult to move. There is still some chance of evading the pursuers. If you go south, you can go fast, and Cao Shuang's pursuers can also use water or land cavalry to pursue them, and they will soon be easily defeated.
catch up,
Now that I think about it, Sima Yi felt that his "upright" plan to seize Shu was just to deceive him and give him one less retreat. Fortunately, Cao Cao did not adopt his strategy in the end, which gave him one more retreat.
If he fled to Soochow in the south, there would be more twists and turns, unless he had properly contacted the Lord of Wu in advance. But at that time, he thought he had a sure victory, so how could he go to Soochow again and leave a clue for the world to find his shortcomings.
After the army returned, Sun Quan sent an envoy to beg for surrender, proclaimed his vassal status to Cao Cao, stated the mandate of heaven, and persuaded Cao Cao to proclaim himself emperor.
Cao Cao said: "Sun Quan, son, you want to put me on the stove!" Sima Yi replied: "The national destiny of the Han Dynasty is about to end. You have nine out of ten in the world, and you still surrender and obey the orders of the Han. Now that Sun Quan has become a minister,
It is in compliance with the will of heaven and man."
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Sima Yi was promoted to the crown prince's concubine, and assisted the Wei crown prince Cao Pi. At that time, Sima Yi always had a clever plan every time he participated in a plan, so he was trusted and reused by Cao Pi. Together with Chen Qun, Wu Zhi, and Zhu Shuo [
shuo] are also known as the "Four Friends".
Sima Yi was transferred to the army Sima and suggested farming to solve the food problem, which was adopted by Cao Cao.
He pointed out that Hu Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, was rude and Fu Fang, the governor of Nanxiang, was arrogant and extravagant, and that they should not be stationed at the border. Cao Cao did not pay attention to them.
In the same year, Guan Yu besieged Cao Ren in Fancheng. The local rainstorm trapped the Seventh Ban Army (in the official history, Guan Yu did not breach the embankment), and Guan Yu took the opportunity to attack.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As expected, Hu and Fu took the opportunity to descend to Shu. Because Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in Xuchang, which was very close to Fancheng, Cao Cao felt threatened. In order to avoid Guan Yu's attack, he once prepared to move the capital.
North of the Yellow River.
Sima Yi, Cao Rong and Jiang Ji promptly dissuaded him and said: "Yu Jin was flooded by the flood. It was not a mistake in battle and defense, and it did not cause great losses to the overall situation of the country. Moving the capital for this reason would not only show weakness to the enemy, but also cause the Huaihe River to be flooded."
People in the Han River area are unstable.
Liu Bei and Sun Quan are close relatives at home and abroad. Now that Guan Yu is in power, Sun Quan will definitely be uneasy. Tell Sun Quan about this and ask him to contain Guan Yu, and then the siege of Fancheng will be relieved." Cao Cao followed his plan, and Sun Quan sent Lu Meng to attack Gong'an, and Guan Yu
He was captured and killed.
Later, Cao Cao believed that the Jingzhou remnants and the soldiers and civilians stationed in Yingchuan were approaching the hostile forces in the south, and wanted to move them away.
Sima Yi believed: "Most of the people in Jingchu escaped lightly, and if they move easily, they may find it difficult to stabilize. Now that Guan Yu has just been defeated, the fleeing people are also waiting to see the situation.
Now moving the people there will not only hurt the local people's feelings, but also make those who want to come back afraid to come back." Cao Cao listened to his suggestion and did not immigrate. As expected, all the people who had been hiding and fleeing came back and became naturalized.
In the first year of Yankang (220 years), Cao Cao passed away and the government and the public were in danger. Sima Yi managed the funeral affairs with solemnity both inside and outside, and returned to Yecheng as Cao Cao's Zi Palace.
In the same year, Cao Pi ascended the throne of Wei, and Sima Yi was granted the title of Marquis of Ting of Hejin, and became the Prime Minister.
At that time, Sun Quan was leading his army to the west. The court officials believed that Fancheng and Xiangyang were short of food and could not resist the Wu army, so they asked the defender Cao Ren to return to Wancheng (today's Wancheng District, Nanyang, Henan).
Sima Yi said: "Sun Quan has just defeated Guan Yu, it is the time when he wants to form a good relationship with Wei, so he must not dare to cause trouble.
Xiangyang is an important land and water transportation place and cannot be abandoned." Cao Pi did not listen to his advice and ordered Cao Ren to set fire to the two cities. Later, Sun Quan did not come to invade. Cao Pi regretted it.
Sima Yi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, recalled what he had done for Cao Cao of the Wei Dynasty in those years. Most of it was due to helplessness, but he also showed a certain amount of talent and contributed to Cao Cao.
He is also a bit clumsy, unlike Yang Xiu who was too sharp and ended up getting killed. Now he fled from Luoyang in the Wei Dynasty to Shu, and contracted malaria due to the unsuitable acclimatization.
But he has no regrets. If he had not taken action in the Wei Dynasty and taken a preemptive strike, his Sima family would never be able to control its own destiny and would be controlled by others.
Although he is now seventy years old, he still can't leave now, fulfill the promise he made to Yang Xiu, and tell him that leaving now is different from leaving then. After all, his long-cherished wish has not yet come true...
