The moon crescents over Kyushu, some families are happy and some are sad?

When Cao Pi and Sima Yi lost their relatives successively and suffered defeat, Liu Qi ushered in another peak in his life.

After the great victory in Huainan, the destruction of the Three Heroes, and the marriage to Master Bai Fumeibu, I felt that my life had reached a climax.

The weather has changed in Xuzhou, the army and the people are happy. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Dao return to their hometowns and reunite with Mi Zhu who comes to congratulate them, as if they have experienced a reincarnation.

In the inn run by the Mi family, everyone set up incense tables, burned incense and set up spirits for Liu Bei, and reminisced about old friendships. When they returned to Xuzhou, Liu Bei's ambition to revive the Han Dynasty was not far away.

Mi Zhu said with emotion: "If Xuande has a spirit in heaven, seeing today's situation, he must be smiling, right?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "My eldest brother has been determined to prosper the Han Dynasty all his life. Although Guan is not talented, he is willing to be ruined and die. I am fortunate to commit myself to Bo Wei, receive civil and military orders, and watch the wind at home. I will live up to my brother's will and report to the country and brothers. Are you happy?"

Zhang Fei's eyes were red from drinking, he held the wine jar and nodded seriously: "Me too!"

Zhao Yun and Chen Dao were sitting at the door. They looked at each other and smiled. When they mentioned Liu Bei again, they no longer felt the sorrow of losing their master, but were filled with joy. It was human nature to get together and separate, and everything today was unspoken.

Liu Qi made love with him in Pengcheng and wandered around Yuntai. Although Bu Lianshi grew up poor, he was from a noble family after all and had the innate gentleness of Jiangnan women, which he could never experience in Sun Shangxiang.

The quilt nest is turning around and the spring scenery is endless. Liu Qi personally feels the fairy days of "from now on the king will not go to court early".

After Xuzhou joined forces, Wen had Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Lu Su, Bu Zhi, Wu Guan, Zhang Zhao and Jiangdong generals. He just wanted to be a happy hand-off shopkeeper.

Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long. Only five days after the wedding, Ma Su invited him out of the back hall and went to the government office to discuss matters with the civil and military officials.

Seeing everyone frowning slightly, Liu Qi couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and asked hurriedly: "Is it possible that the war in the Central Plains is not going well?"

"No!" Ma Liang shook his head and said, "The war went smoothly, but a big disaster happened."

"The war is going well, what big trouble could there be?" Liu Qi waved his hand indifferently.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan have withdrawn from the stage of history, and the generals of Cao Wei have basically been taken down. Now with these talents under their own hands, they are equal to Cao Fang, who is at the peak of the Sun-Liu alliance in the late stage, and has basically been pushed evenly.

Ma Liang led Ma Chao to attack Hanoi and wiped out the Sima family. Sima Yi vomited blood and became seriously ill. He told him about his return to Wei County to recuperate, and said worriedly: "According to Yanfeng Camp's detailed reports, Sima Yi is pretending to be ill. He ignored the battle on the front line and returned to the court this time. It must be a plot of revenge."

"Is this happening?" Liu Qi received the letters from Shi Ah. One was an official document from Xu Shu, and the other was a secret letter from Ma Chao. The two of them rushed to take responsibility and expressed their willingness to take responsibility for the matter.

"Destroy it, then destroy it!" Liu Qi threw the letter on the table. No one knew that he deliberately left Ma Chao in Luoyang just to wait for today's result. He said calmly: "Sima Yi killed cruelly and indiscriminately. This is the retribution he deserves." .I am not afraid of the thief Cao, let alone the little Sima Yi?"

"This is inappropriate!" Lu Su clasped his fists and said, "The general spreads his benevolence and trustworthiness to the world. He often captures enemy generals but cannot bear to kill them. Therefore, all the people admire him. The people praise him for his style of ancestors. The world misses Han. Even the enemy can do it. Accept his heart. Now he is allowing Ma Chao to kill innocent people indiscriminately because of personal hatred. If he is not punished, all the previous achievements will be wasted!"

Liu Qi frowned and said, "Is it so serious?"

Lu Su nodded and said: "Raising one's ambition and spreading one's name is like three feet of ice. It is not something that can be accomplished in a day. However, when people talk about gold, it dissipates like frost and snow in one day. Although Sima Yi is ruthless, Sima Fang is a veteran of the previous dynasty. , was a highly virtuous man, and his children were quite talented and learned. If we turn a blind eye now and punish him, then the officers and men in the army will all have their own personal vendettas and come to take revenge, and military discipline will be disrupted. The scholars and nobles have their hearts set on the Han Dynasty, and they foolishly think that this is a small move but a big loss. I hope the general will consider it carefully."

"It makes sense!" Liu Qi nodded slightly. Lu Su was worthy of being a great strategist in the world. His vision and height were higher than three or four floors above.

He eradicated the Sima clan. Although he blamed Sima Yi for being ruthless, he also came with the prejudice and hatred of two thousand years later. Without the Sima clan's usurpation, the Eight Kings Rebellion would not have led to the Five Husty Rebellion.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, Lu Su's views are truly far-sighted and his words hit the nail on the head. Even if the Huainan people hate Sima Yi to the core, for the people from other places, the flooding of Shouchun is just an unfortunate event. It's over now, no pain or itching.

But the incident of Sima's family extermination will definitely cause a sensation in the world. Others don't know the Sima family's subsequent crimes. If Ma Chao is not dealt with, the image of the Han army that has not killed and surrendered prisoners over the years will be completely shattered. And once the army makes this move, other People also come to the public to avenge personal grievances, but it is not easy to deal with.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi said: "The tragedy of the Sima family was caused by Xu Shu being drunk and misbehaving and not being strict with his subordinates. He should be the first to be blamed. However, because he had contributed to the victory of Hanoi, he was dismissed from his post and sent back to his hometown on that day! Ma Chao allowed the soldiers to kill, and the West All rewards from the Liang army will be cancelled. Ma Chao will be demoted to three levels and placed under the control of Zhang Ren. If he offends again, he will be subject to military law."

Ma Liang said hurriedly: "If Xu Yuanzhi is transferred away, who will be the military advisor?"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Fa Xiaozhi has enjoyed a few months of leisure in Nanchang, and it's time for him to contribute. Zhang Ren is brave and resourceful, and it is enough to deal with Cao Xiu now!"

Ma Liang added: "When Cao Hong heard about Cao Cao's defeat, he thought that he had harmed Cao Cao by delaying the military situation, so he committed suicide in shame. I am afraid that this matter will cause unrest among the captives, so we need to think of a good strategy early."

"The Cao family also has loyal people!" Liu Qi sighed with emotion. Cao Hong was very loyal to Cao Cao. He risked his life several times to save him. Although he was greedy for money and sex, his temperament was admirable and he asked: "How did Xia Houyuan react? ?”

Ma Liangyan said: "Xia Houyuan has been in Luoyang for a long time, and he is comforted by the wives of the three generals. He will not commit suicide. However, Cao Ren, Cao Zhang and others were captured not long ago, so they may be impulsive and follow their footsteps."

Zhang Chengyan said: "The children of the Cao family will not change their will to surrender, so it is better to commit suicide, so as not to make the general enmity with others again, isn't it just right?"

"Otherwise!" Liu Qi said: "I and the Cao family are fighting each other, and each is his own master. When the country is restored and the world is settled, we may be able to change our minds. These are all good generals of the Han Dynasty and heroes of China. If they are willing to fight against foreigners, If you work hard, it will be of great use.”

Lu Su sighed: "It's a pity that after the general's hard work, the Cao family didn't know it. Heroes emerge in troubled times, but we kill each other. I'm afraid we will be laughed at by future generations!"

Pang Tong was sipping his wine and said after hearing this: "If you want to keep Cao Ren and a few people, it's not difficult. If you stop them, it will be counterproductive. You need to do the opposite."

Liu Qi asked: "Sir, do you have any good ideas?"

Pang Tong smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows: "You only need to choose a close friend and persuade him not to commit suicide. He can be a student soldier or Gou Jian, endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and wait for the opportunity to take revenge."

Liu Qi nodded slightly, frowned and said, "Even if Cao Ren and others really escape, there is nothing to worry about, but if Sima Yi resolutely abandons the camp and returns to Hebei, it may cause serious trouble."
