Chapter 548 The Mystery of Life and Death (please recommend and vote for monthly support!!!)
After Cao Pi died, Cao Peng couldn't believe it for a while.
However, as the news was later confirmed, he no longer had any doubts. However... Sima Yi's life and death made Cao Peng puzzled.
According to the news at that time: Sima Yi's whereabouts are unknown.
So, is he alive or dead?
This also made Cao Peng feel very worried!
Throughout the Three Kingdoms era, the person Cao Peng was most worried about was not Zhuge Liang, not Zhou Yu, not Cao Cao... but Sima Zhongda, who was known as the Tomb Tiger. This guy was too tolerant and could endure too much...
...The depth of his scheming made Cao Peng afraid.
In fact, when he was in Wolong Valley, Cao Peng almost had murderous intentions twice.
But Sima Yi was very friendly to him at that time, so he could not be cruel.
Zhuge Liang?
A master who must do everything personally will not live long; Zhou Yu is also a short-lived ghost.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is a treacherous master. But if you get in touch with him, you can realize that he is actually a very real hero. At least compared to other heroes in history, Cao Cao can really use his laughter and curses to express his emotions.
He is a heart-warming person. He doesn't care what outsiders think of him. Once he sets a goal, he will move forward bravely. And the most important thing is that Cao Cao is very good to the people around him, especially his tribe! Cao Peng is Cao Cao
clansman, at this point, he doesn’t have to worry too much...
Shi A smiled bitterly and said: "Speaking of Zhongda, Sikong also asked me.
However, I really don’t know much about Zhongda’s life or death. When Zhongqiu was attacked, Zhongda was in the rear army, controlling the distribution of baggage, and was not with the prince. When we broke through, I saw the baggage camp ablaze
The fire broke out, and he must have been attacked by Karasuma's sudden cavalry. Considering the chaotic situation at that time, Zhongda was probably in danger. But I can't be sure. Zhongda has always been very calm. If he saw that the situation was not good, he might
Evacuated early...but he hasn't appeared since then, so I guess he must have encountered something unexpected."
Shi A did not hold back his opinions and expressed his thoughts one by one.
However, this still could not dispel Cao Peng's doubts.
Sima Yi, is he really dead?
I do not believe!
Shi A also said that Sima Yi is a very calm guy, knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to seek good luck and avoid disaster. Judging from the situation at the time, if he saw that the situation was not good, he might withdraw immediately. In fact, this guy relied on this
This ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil has killed Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Rui, Zhuge Liang, and most of the people who were loyal to Cao Wei at that time.
Then, he took advantage of the situation and rose up!
At this point, Sima Yi is better than Zhuge Liang.
Moreover, he knew how to cultivate talents. The famous generals of Wei in the late Three Kingdoms period, whether Du Yu or Yang Hu, were quite close to the Sima family.
It's not like the Shu Han talent withered after Zhuge Liang's death...
Such a person died like this?
If it was when Cao Peng was reborn, he might have believed it. But now, he doesn't believe it...
At the beginning, there was chaos in Chang'an, and many people said that Li Ru was dead. But who could have guessed that Li Ru ran to Luoyang and lived a new life. If Cao Peng hadn't appeared, maybe Li Ru was hiding somewhere now, working as a
A happy and happy rich man, Sima Yi is not necessarily stupider than Li Ru. Li Ru was able to survive in such a chaotic situation in Chang'an at that time, but didn't Sima Yi know how to avoid it?
The question is, if Sima Yi is alive, where are the others?
This gave Cao Peng a headache!
Logically speaking, Sima Yi's father is still alive, and the entire Sima family has surrendered to Cao Wei. It is impossible for him to disappear without saying a word.
unless……
Did he imitate Li Ru?
Cao Peng shivered with excitement and suddenly sat upright.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Du Ji noticed Cao Peng's reaction and quickly asked in confusion.
"Bohou, if Sima Yi is not dead, why didn't he show up?"
"Sima Yi is not dead?"
Du Ji looked at Cao Peng doubtfully, and after a while he whispered softly: "If Sima Yi hadn't died, he would definitely be afraid."
"oh?"
"The prince died in battle, but he is still alive.
I heard that when Sima Yi defected to Sikong, Sikong didn't have a very good impression of him. But later, it was Mrs. Bian's recommendation that he became the prince's staff. If he appeared in front of Sikong alive, there was no guarantee that Sikong would treat him badly.
A poisonous move. Even though Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, had been kind to Sikong, he was probably powerless in this matter and could not save Sima Yi's life... Shi A was lame in the battle and had his hand tendons cut off. So if Sima Yi was alive, I'm afraid
Yes... so he didn't show up."
Cao Peng nodded.
This is very possible!
Although Shi A cannot be compared with Sima Yi, if Cao Cao really had murderous intentions, Sima Yi would really not survive.
"Bohou, if he were alive, where would he be hiding?"
"It's hard to say." Du Ji smiled and shook his head, "The Sima family is a big family in Hanoi and has many relatives. It has been an official for three generations, and there are still some disciples and former officials. However, if I were Sima Yi, I would have caused such a big problem.
He will never return home to avoid the disaster. Because even Sima Fang may not be able to protect him... The Sima family is huge and has many officials. Its foundation is in Wen County, but..."
"but what?"
"I vaguely remember that Sima Yi's great ancestor Sima Shuping was once the governor of Yuzhang; and Sima Shuping's son Sima Liang also served as Yuzhang... Generally speaking, there are very few people from two generations who serve as officials in the same place.
The Sima family has served as officials in Yuzhang for exactly two generations, and its foundation is no small matter. Although the following two generations did not serve in Yuzhang, their foundation cannot be eliminated in two generations. Does the Sima family have a foundation in Yuzhang?
If so, then as Sima Fang, I will ask Sima Yi to go to Yuzhang, hide his name, and accumulate strength to wait for the opportunity."
"Yuzhang?"
That's Jiangdong's territory.
Yuzhang County was founded in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it controlled 21 counties and was definitely included in the list of Shangjun. However, later, Sun Ce separated two counties and led Luling County. After Sun Ce's death, in the tenth year of Jian'an, it was
One year, Sun Quan divided Yuzhang County into Pengze County and Poyang County, and divided Yuzhang County into four parts. Since Yuzhang was an important place for the navy, Sun Quan attached great importance to it. All the officials he appointed were his confidants.
Even if Cao Cao sent people to search for Yuzhang, they might not be able to find the original foundation of the Sima family.
What's more, with the death of Cao Pi, Cao Cao didn't seem to want to pursue the responsibility, so he just assumed that Sima Yi was dead and stopped interfering.
As for Sima, it seems that Sima Yi does not exist.
But, does it really cease to exist?
Cao Peng took a deep breath and suddenly felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.
Forget it, let's put this matter aside.
Let’s find out more in the future...
Thinking of this, Cao Peng drank the wine in front of him in one gulp, then looked at Shi A and asked: "Boss Shi, are you willing to stay with me?"
"Shi A is a useless person. Master Meng will not abandon him and is willing to take him in. How dare he refuse?"
Shi A also figured it out!
Cao Peng is not afraid, so what is he afraid of?
He raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, "Although my hands are disabled and my feet are lame... everything I have learned is stored in my head. If you, sir, have any use for me, just give me your orders. I won't say anything else.
At least lead the horse and put on the stirrup, Shi Ah can do it, but I hope the young master will not give up."
Leading a horse in stirrups?
That's simply overkill.
Cao Peng said: "In that case, Boss Shi will stay here for now without any restraint.
As for what you do, you can do whatever you want. But I still say that, although your right hand is disabled, you still have a left hand; although your foot is lame, you can still ride a horse. There is no need to belittle yourself. I believe that the apprentices taught by Master Wang will definitely be
I am not someone who gives up casually.
Come, let's drink this cup to the full, there is still something to do tomorrow."
Du Ji and Shi A did not dare to neglect and quickly raised their glasses to drink.
The Bronze Lord hit the table heavily. Cao Peng stood up and walked to the door with his hands behind his back. After a moment, he suddenly said: "The wind is blowing!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When summer and autumn intersect, the wind is most normal.
In the early morning, Cao Cao put his hands behind his back in the garden and listened to Yang Di's report.
"In this way, Afu can be regarded as bullying the younger one."
Yang Di smiled, "It's not a big deal to bully a small one, but it did severely damage Zhou Buyi's majesty. However, what he said at the banquet was unbelievable. The overseas barbarians really did.
Is there such a thing as a master who has seen people? I still feel that this matter is a bit mysterious...Europe, Greece...and that Aristotle, I have never heard of it."
Cao Cao smiled and shook his head, "Zilu, just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Ah Fu is a cautious person, and he will never speak nonsense without any purpose. Since he dares to say these things in public, it must be true. Haha, how can we talk about the affairs of the world if we don’t know how big the world is? Ah Fu said this
It's pretty good, and I'm very interested in it.
At least the Qin Kingdom and Persia do exist.
Well, if the war in the north is over, I would like to send a team of envoys on an mission. Just as Ah Fu said, we will go all the way from the Western Regions to have a good look at the world outside the Kyushu. Haha, say
Maybe, there will be surprising harvests.
It’s just that I’m a little strange, how does Ah Fu know these things?
And what kind of "History" and "History of the Peloponnesian War" he was talking about, and what kind of book is it? To be praised like this by Afu, it must be no ordinary article. If you can have the opportunity,
I really want to see it, I really want to see it..."
As he spoke, Cao Cao showed a look of leisurely fascination on his face.

Cao Peng had no idea what a huge response his words at Yuxiu Tower caused.
The next day, Kong Rong came to visit with Ying Jun and asked carefully whether the things Cao Peng said existed.
Cao Peng, of course, agreed.
When Kong Rong asked how he knew, Cao Peng was already prepared.
He pushed the matter to the immortal leader he had never met before. However, he did not say Zuo Ci's name, but anyone who knew Cao Peng's past would know that when he was young,
, was taught by a Taoist, and only then did we have the miscellaneous studies we have today.
Kong Rong could not help but be fascinated by that Taoist priest.
He came to Cao Peng for another matter.
That is to hope that Cao Peng can introduce Ying Jun. This is not a difficult task for Cao Peng, whether it is his brother-in-law Deng Ji, his father Cao Ji, Xun Yu of Shangshu Mansion, or Sikong
Cao Cao, to put it bluntly, is just a matter of one sentence.
However, Cao Peng did not want to recommend this one of the Seven Sons of Jian'an to others.
He is about to go to Nanyang and needs a lot of manpower to form a team.
Although he has already recruited Du Ji and sent people to Dongjun to second Deng Zhi from Deng Ji. By the way, there is also Lu Yu who is not sure whether he can be recruited. The Lu family has only three people.
.This is far from enough, definitely not enough... Think about how many talents he had gathered under his command in just five counties in Hexi when he was in the northwest? Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Meng Jian, Pang Lin... The size of his staff also enabled him to successfully pacify the northwest.
The chaos. Today, the situation in Nanyang County is far from comparable to that of Hexi County.
A staff team of only three people is definitely not enough.
Although Ying Jun didn't know his other abilities, with his title as the Seventh Son of Jian'an, he was more than enough to do a job.
Therefore, Cao Peng planned to capture Ying Jun and use it for himself. He did not want to reorganize his staff after coming to Nanyang in the future.
Therefore, he warmly extended an invitation to Ying Jian, allowing him to temporarily stay at Fengchehou Mansion.
"Delian and I hit it off as old friends, so we should spend time together morning and night.
If De Lian doesn't give up, how about you stay here with me now, and after I have finished welcoming Lu's Han Kingdom, I can introduce him to De Lian?"
Kong Rong and Ying Jue also knew that Lu's Han Dynasty was about to arrive.
It is said that they have joined Cao Zhen's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and will arrive in Xudu tomorrow at the latest.
Cao Peng had just been appointed, so he must have a lot of things to deal with. Since he had agreed, there was no need to worry, he just had to wait patiently. At the same time, Ying Jue was also very excited about Cao Peng's invitation. After thinking about it,
Agreed.
At noon, Cao Peng went to Dahonglu and Liu Ye's house to visit.
Cao Ji and Liu Ye were friends. They often drank together before. However, at that time, Liu Ye felt that there was no room for him to display his talents, while Cao Ji was quite happy-go-lucky. Today, Cao Ji is appointed as the governor of Liangzhou and sits in charge.
Northwest has become an important member of the party.
As for Liu Ye, he was also very busy.
At the beginning of the year, he first went to Xianbei as an envoy and reached an alliance with Kebineng, the leader of Xianbei in central China.
Then as soon as he returned to Xudu, he heard that the Lu family of Han was about to surrender. This was a big event... Nothing like this had happened since the Yongyuan Year. Foreigners came to surrender and asked for surrender. For the imperial court
It is undoubtedly a very happy thing.
After years of war, we need some exciting news...
When Cao Peng arrived at the Liu Mansion, Liu Ye was very busy.
Receiving foreign envoys is an extremely serious matter. This etiquette stipulates that every step cannot be deviated and requires careful deduction. When Liu Ye saw Cao Peng, he was overjoyed. He took Cao Peng's hand and blamed
Said: "Youxue, why is it so late?"
Without waiting for Cao Peng to explain, Liu Ye pulled him and walked into the study.
"If you don't come again, I will send someone to find you." As he spoke, he took out a token and handed it to Cao Peng, saying: "You take your support and set off immediately, and you must arrive at Changshe before dark. Lu's Han Kingdom
Tonight, I will stay at Changshe, and you can go and greet me and return with the envoy tomorrow."
"So urgent?"
Cao Peng was surprised and said: "Uncle, I also know the importance of Lu's surrender to the Han Dynasty, but this welcome ceremony... Logically speaking, Xingren Cheng should be responsible for it, why do you want me to go?"
Liu Ye looked strange, and after a while he whispered softly: "I know it's against the rules, but this is the envoy of the Han Dynasty invited by the Lu family!"
