He stationed troops to drive away tigers and leopards, and his adopted son got a unicorn. Zhuge often talks about envy, which can bring spring back to the world. --------Ming. Luo Guanzhong's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
It is said that the autumn rise of Cao Pi's boat on Dasha River composed a poem with profound artistic conception, and his companion Sima Yi was also with him. Speaking of Cao Pi's visit, he was in Prime Minister Cao's Mansion in Taishan County at that time. He already knew that something had happened to his brother Cao Ang and his grandfather Cao Song. He was also shocked and was considering returning to his hometown to mourn the eldest son. After receiving a letter from Xiahou Ba, asking him to intercede for Xiahou Cheng, he couldn't help but hesitate again. Xiahou Cheng's dereliction of duty would have extremely serious consequences, and he would die hundreds of times. This kind of favor is not easy to ask for.
While hesitating, suddenly no one opened the door curtain and entered Cao Pi's study without knocking. When Cao Pi looked up, he saw that the person coming was tall and slender with wise eyes. He was Sima Yi and Sima Zhongda, his companion and friend arranged by his father.
Not long after Sima Yi dropped out of school at Sima Hui, he left home and traveled around to study. In the name of his Sima family, he came into contact with many famous scholars and dignitaries. With his talent and intelligence, he naturally made his way into the world. Especially in terms of military strategy, Sima Yi can be said to have mastered it all, and added some of his own innovations to create some military ideas, and his reputation gradually grew.
Cao Cao, who was thirsty for talents, heard in the court that the second son of Sima Fang's family was quite capable. At that time, Cao Cao was still in the position of Sikong. He did not hesitate and wrote a letter in person, saying: "In today's world, disputes are everywhere, and the Han Dynasty is declining. The warlords are separatist, and they are eyeing each other, causing the Han Emperor to be covered in dust. Your father and brother are Han ministers. The emperor of the Han Dynasty came to my Taishan County, intending to restore the country and extend the country. He was thirsty for talents. Hearing Zhongda's name, he asked for him, and he repeatedly ordered me to recruit him. I Sizhongda is a daughter of a famous family. It is difficult to match him without being a unicorn or a phoenix, and it is difficult to match him without being a high-ranking official. He should be promoted to my deputy and work with me in the same court to turn the tide from the fall and revive the great Han Dynasty."
When Sima Yi received the letter, he couldn't help but smile. He said it nicely, but he actually wanted me to work for Cao Cao. But it was difficult to refuse at that time. When I was thinking hard, I saw the cart in the yard. I had an idea and pretended to accidentally press the cart on my leg. At that time, it clicked and fractured. Cao Cao's envoy had to leave in anger when he saw this. . Of course, this is just a legend among busybodies. In fact, Sima Yi avoided Cao Cao's first call by pretending to have "wind paralysis".
As for why Sima Yi refused Cao Cao's call, it was because the public was justified and the mother-in-law was justified. Although Sima Yi was young, he was very thoughtful. This can be summed up for four reasons: First, Sima Yi knew Cao Cao's psychology very well. Why did he serve the Han Dynasty? In fact, he wanted him to serve Cao Cao personally; second, Sima Yi's father Sima Fang and Sima Lang were already important ministers in the court. In fact, they had taken refuge in Cao Cao's power. The unwritten rules of aristocratic families would not allow all their children to join one power in order to avoid being completely purged; third, Cao Cao used the emperor's orders to The princes are domineering and domineering, their official reputation is closely following Dong Zhuo's, and they have many ministers and generals, all of whom are responsible for their own affairs. When will it be the turn of the young Sima Yi? Fourth, although Cao Cao's grandfather was an important minister in the court, he was only a eunuch after all, and was not the same as those big families with four generations and three princes.
These analyzes are very correct, but in fact, there is another most important reason why Sima Yi refused to submit to Cao Cao. In Sima Yi's heart, he could never forget the tall figure of the man he had seen in Baima Cave Village when he was a child. That man was Chen Long and Chen Wenlong who visited Sima Hui in Baima Cave. Sima Yi knew that Chen Long's strength was not inferior to that of Cao Cao, and he still hoped that one day he would be called by Chen Long to display his ambitions and dominate the world. Of course, he refused to give in to Cao Cao's power.
Cao Cao was of course very angry when he received the report that Sima Yi pretended to be ill and refused to serve. Later, Cao Cao stabilized the overall situation and became the prime minister's first assistant. He thought of Sima Yi again. This time, the powerful Cao Cao did not give Sima Yi a chance to refuse. He went straight to the point of force and sent people with dozens of soldiers to pick up Sima Yi. If he refused, he would be imprisoned. Sima Yi was not stupid enough to fight to the death, so he surrendered to Cao Cao.
Sima Yi had a tolerant personality and was somewhat similar to Cao Pi. At that time, he was arranged to study with Cao Pi in Cao Mansion. The two hit it off and quickly became good friends. Cao Pi had many famous teachers to teach him, and he often consulted with Sima Yi on knowledge. Sima Yi was also a loyal assistant to Cao Pi, and from time to time he also proposed many good ideas for Cao Cao through Cao Pi. As time passed, Cao Pi trusted Sima Yi even more, but at that time there was no dispute over the reserve position.
Continuing from the previous paragraph, Sima Yi opened the curtain and entered Cao Pi's room. Seeing Cao Pi's gloomy face, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Zihuan, what is on your mind? But you are not happy when your eldest brother dies?"
Cao Pi knew clearly that Sima Yi was asking a question, so he said angrily: "It would have been very feasible to show the family who the old man's successor was by going to the ancestral temple for a funeral. But the old man sent a third brother to preside over it. It’s a funeral, so I’m hesitant here.”
Sima Yi also knew that there was no such thing as Xia Houchen here. The key was how Cao Pi would declare his power in a logical way. With Cao Zhang included, Cao Cao's intentions were unclear and the consequences were unpredictable.
But who is Sima Yi? He is a man whose wisdom is comparable to that of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. He laughed and said: "Why are you so hesitant, Zihuan? Such a good opportunity, you must go this time. Even if you say that you want to save Xia Houcheng, You can get a reputation for being loyal. It’s so-called buying horse bones for a thousand dollars, not to mention the big events in the family, the funerals of my grandfather and brother. How can you, the eldest son, not show your condolences? "
This sentence was like an enlightenment. Cao Pi suddenly woke up and asked, "Then Cao Pi has heavy troops in Qiao County. What if he..."
Sima Yi even laughed loudly and said: "Zihuan is too worried! There is no such thing as a chance. If you go, you will be in charge, and there will be nothing to do with Cao Zhang."
Cao Pi couldn't help being greatly moved, and repeatedly ordered people to prepare boats. After the people left, Cao Pi asked again: "Are you going now? Will Xiahou save you or not?"
Sima Yi's smile never faded and he replied: "Of course we should save you, but Cao Zhang will not stop and will bring out the old man to crush you, so Xiahou said you will die. But you will only lose the reputation of protecting friends, and Cao Zhang became the butcher of the family. If you have at least lost Xia Houyuan's support, what's the problem?"
Cao Pi just felt reassured and sighed: "Oh, it's just a pity that the younger brother of the Xiahou family lost his life."
Sima Yi understood Cao Pi's psychology best and suddenly said: "You should worry about your fourth son."
Cao Pi was suddenly startled and said, "Zijian?"
