Chapter 795: Who rules the ups and downs?
It is said that the Du family is voluptuous and plump, and the country is beautiful and fragrant. No wonder Master Cao Pi is also deeply involved in it. Sima Yi was so worried that he couldn't help but approached the drunken Cao Pi to report the military situation.
The military situation was urgent, but Cao Pi was unaware of it. Instead, he felt that Sima Yi had disturbed his interest. Sima Yi had no choice but to take a fierce look at Du, who had a messy hair and hair, and sadly said goodbye: "General Zhonglang, Marquis Anxiang, I still have military affairs on the front line, please excuse me." After saying this, he bowed and turned around. Gotta go.
Cao Pi seemed to be drunk in the gentle land. He lay in Du Shi's arms and moved his fingers, as if he heard it. Cao Zhi suddenly stood up and said, "Zhongda, wait a minute."
Sima Yi didn't expect Cao Zhi to come out to stop him, so he turned around blankly. He was always looking at someone like a hawk, but when he turned around in surprise, Cao Zhi was startled. Yang Xiu stood up quickly, his eyebrows raised.
Sima Yi quickly restrained his eyes, bowed his hands and said, "What are your instructions from Lord Marquis?" Cao Pi over there seemed not to know what had happened here, and was still lying in Du's arms, sleeping soundly.
Cao Zhi stopped Yang Xiu who was about to scold him and said with a smile: "I heard that Zhongda still has military affairs on the front line, but I want to hear that on this night when we just won the victory over Puyang City, what kind of military affairs are there on the front line, and they are all so urgent? ?”
Sima Yi understood and his mind was spinning rapidly. Although my analysis was reasonable and most likely the truth, from my position as a general under Cao Pi, how could I easily tell Cao Zhi such an important judgment? You must know that the relationship between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi is bloody and competitive, and they are by no means as close as they appear to be brothers.
Sima Yi did not dare to have any hesitation and immediately made up a false statement: "So that the Marquis of Anxiang will know that the fleeing movement of Puyang Qinglong Army was discovered by our army. Whether to pursue the fleeing enemy invaders, I came to ask General Zhonglang for instructions. Since we are in General Lang thinks there is no need to pursue him, probably because he is afraid that Zhou Buji might be ambushing him, so I must obey his orders." After saying this, he bowed deeply again and wanted to turn around and run away.
Unexpectedly, Cao Zijian would not give up this time, and continued to say in a calm tone: "Oh, as the old saying goes, do your best to eliminate evil, so as to prevent it from resurrecting." After saying that, he looked back slightly and nodded at Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiuben was standing behind him, and he bowed knowingly. Cao Zhi continued: "Second brother is drunk and probably can't care about military matters. Since my second brother and I have joined forces, we should join forces to annihilate the Qinglong bandits. You go and tell Le. Wei, let him take five thousand victorious troops to send Zhongda back, firstly to protect Zhongda, and secondly to obey orders on the spot and help Zhongda succeed."
This sentence sounded very nice, but it undoubtedly planted a nail in Cao Pi's camp. Seeing that Cao Pi was motionless, Sima Yi did not dare to disobey, so he had to bow and said: "Thank you so much, Marquis Anxiang, for your help."
Sima Yi and Yang Xiu left hand in hand, which seemed to symbolize that the two sons of the Cao family worked together. The generals present raised their glasses to congratulate each other, and the atmosphere became lively. Cao Zhi sat down with a smile, enjoying the toasts of his subordinates and the beautiful bodies around him, feeling quite satisfied. Although Wu Zhi was not a fool, he was still drinking wine in a daze, just watching the changes quietly.
The hall was still so lively, but Sima Yi and Yang Xiu were silent all the way, and the atmosphere seemed deserted. Yang Xiu knew that Sima Yi's government would never disclose any real important military information. Xindao Zijian was very smart in letting Sima Yi place a spy around him that he had to guard against. He thought it would be tiring to guard against this and that. He was exhausted.
Soon after arriving at the city gate, today's guarding general was none other than Le Wei, a native of Yangping County.
Le Wei is not well-known, but his father is famous, and Le Jin is one of the five good generals. During this expedition, Le Wei happened to not accompany his father on the expedition due to his mother's illness, so he stayed in Taishan County and was swept over by Cao Zhi's troops.
Le Wei, whose name is unknown, was born in Weiguo County, Yangping County. The son of General Yue Jin, a famous general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He was brave and resolute. He was granted the title of Marquis of Guangchang Ting, and later moved to Yangzhou as governor. In the second year of Ganlu's reign, he was killed by Zhuge Dan, the rebellious general who conquered the east, and was given posthumously as a guard.
In the novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Le Wei was one of the anti-Shu generals under Sima Yi. He often went out with Zhang Hu, the son of Zhang Liao.
Sima Zhao was criticized by Jia Chong and wanted to eradicate Zhuge Dan, so he sent a letter to Le Wei, who was the governor of Yangzhou at that time, ordering him to raise troops to respond to the attack on Zhuge Dan. On the other hand, he sent an envoy to promote Zhuge Dan to Sikong. Zhuge Dan knew that Sima Zhao had the intention to attack, so he arrested the envoy and tortured him, and the envoy confessed his accomplice Le Wei. So Zhuge Dan first raised his troops and rushed to Yangzhou to kill him. Le Wei avoided seeing him, so Zhuge Dan ordered an attack on the city. As a result, they directly attacked Lehui's private residence and scolded his men, forgetting that his father had received favor from the Wei state. Before Le Wei could answer, he was killed by Zhuge Dan.
Le Wei accepted Yang Xiu's military order and ordered all his troops to leave, although Sima Yi left. After parting, Yang Xiu finally spoke to Sima Yi: "Today's words came out of my mouth and entered your ears. Heaven knows and the earth knows. You know and I know."
Sima Yi was confused by what he said and sneered: "Dezu, what kind of sutra are you reciting?"
Yang Dezu also sneered and said: "It is said that whoever conquers Puyang first will have the final say among the Cao family. Now it is my son Jian Gong who conquered Puyang first. Zhongda, do you accept it?"
Sima Yi realized that what Yang Xiu was talking about was this seemingly worthless bet. He thought for a while and said, "This seems not suitable for us wage earners to discuss, right? Besides, I am naturally convinced by Mr. Zijian, but Zi Huan After all, he is the elder brother, so Zihuan should be higher in status."
This sentence was both soft and hard, but avoided its edge. Yang Xiu sneered and said: "Zhongda is not only good at fighting, but he is also very generous in Tai Chi." After that, he stopped forcing Sima Yi to speak, looked at the stars in the sky and said: " The sky has eyes, who is in charge of the ups and downs in the world?" Then he went off.
Yang Xiu's words are meaningful. With the victory of Puyang and the withdrawal of the Qinglong Army from Jizhou, it can be said that there is no opponent for Cao Cao north of the Yellow River. However, if Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's forces each want to seize the city, the conflict between the two sides will inevitably be the greatest. Exposed to the maximum extent, such as Le Wei's arrangement this time, it is obvious that he is trying to snatch the fruits of victory.
It is easy to win the world, but it is difficult to govern the world. However, how to distribute the fruits of victory is even more difficult. Without Cao Cao's suppression, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi would inevitably compete for various interests for their respective powers. Once a fight breaks out in the competition, it becomes the laughing stock of the world.
It's not that Sima Yi didn't understand this truth, but he had no choice but to fight with Le Lei and rush to the military camp first.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
