"Because eating people has short hands, the man in white robe told him, I will add a few words on the cross, and your life span will be ninety-nine years. You go back and tell Guan Ren not to reveal the secrets again, otherwise you will definitely suffer." At the end of the day, the man in red robe took a pen and completed the revision. Then a gust of wind blew, and both of them turned into white cranes and flew away. After Zhao Yan went back, he asked Guan Ren who those people were and replied: "Wearing red robe" The man in the white robe was Nandou. He asked again: I heard that there are nine people in Beidou and Nandou. How can there be only one person? He replied: There are indeed nine people scattered. When they are combined into one, there is only one person. Now you are alone. Beidou is in charge of death, while Nandou is in charge of birth. Now that your lifespan has been changed, what do you, father and son, have to worry about? Father and son quickly thanked you. After this matter is over, Guan Ren will never dare to tell you easily again. Others are afraid of revealing the secrets, so they don't easily divination." Cao Cao looked very surprised after hearing this in one breath, and quickly asked about Guan Ren's whereabouts, hoping to meet him.
Xu Zhi said: "He is in Pingyuan. The king's condition requires him to do divination."
Cao Cao was very happy, so he sent someone to call Guan Ren over. When Guan Ren arrived, he thanked him. Cao Cao told Zuo Ci's incident, asked about the solution, and asked him to do divination.
Guan Ren said: "This is just an illusion. What should you worry about?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao felt relieved and his condition began to improve. Cao Cao continued to ask Guan Ren to divine the affairs of the world.
Guan Ren said: "On March 8, when a yellow pig encounters a tiger, the south side of Ding's army will suffer casualties."
He also asked him to divine lifespan and the situation of his descendants, and replied: "The lion is in the palace, it can appease the gods, the king's way will be reformed, and the descendants will be very noble." Cao Cao wanted to ask specifically about the content, and replied: "The vast secrets of heaven , you can’t know it in advance, you will understand it later.”
Cao Cao was about to make him Taishi, but Guan Ren said: "My life is very thin and I am not qualified for the position, so I dare not accept it!"
Cao Cao asked the reason and replied: "I have no bones in my head, no guards in my eyes, no bridge in my nose, no foundation under my feet, no carapace on my back, and no city in my heart. I can only govern the spirits after death in Mount Tai, but I cannot govern the living." It’s something.”
Cao Cao asked: "What do you think of me?"
He replied: "You are a very human minister, why do you need to come here?" Cao Cao asked again and again, but Guan Ren just smiled and said nothing.
Cao Cao asked Guan Ren to count the civil and military officials below, and Guan Ren said: "They are all ministers who govern the world!" After speaking, he met Sima Yi's eyes, his eyes were a little blurred, and he saw that Sima Yi had a hidden secret in his body. Yao Li is by no means an ordinary person. He just prepared to continue observing and found that the power in the opponent's body disappeared. He felt strange.
Cao Cao's continued questioning interrupted Guan Ren's divination. He wanted to inquire further about the situation, but Guan Ren did not dare to say more.
Cao Cao asked him to divine the two directions of Soochow and Western Shu again. This time he spent a lot of effort and divination for a long time. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said: "A general will die in Soochow and Xishu." There is an army of soldiers in Shu who will invade the border."
After the divination was completed, Guan Ren's eyes flashed with solemnity, because during the divination process, Yu Chaisang encountered a very powerful force. He wanted to find out, but found that his consciousness could not approach it at all, and was eventually blocked. That power backfired. He had been doing divination for many years and had mastered the secrets of the universe. He had never encountered such a situation before.
Naturally, Cao Cao didn't believe it. Suddenly, soldiers came from Hefei to report: "The general Lu Su guarding Lukou in Soochow has passed away!"
Cao Cao was so surprised that he sent people to Hanzhong to inquire about the news. Within a few days, someone reported that Liu Bei had sent Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to garrison troops to prepare to capture the pass.
Cao Cao was very angry and planned to enter Hanzhong again with his troops. Since Guan Ren's divination was so accurate, he asked Guan Ren to make up for it. Guan Ren said: "Your Majesty, don't act rashly. There will probably be a big fire next spring."
Cao Cao felt that the opponent's calculation was too accurate and did not dare to move, so he stayed in Ye County and sent Cao Hong with 50,000 troops to help Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He defend Dongchuan. He also sent Xiahou Dun with 30,000 troops to Xudu Strengthen patrols to nip problems in the bud, and at the same time let Chang Shi Wangbi take charge of the Royal Forest Army.
Sima Yi, the chief bookkeeper, suggested: "Wang Bi likes drinking very much, so I'm afraid he can't take on this important task."
Cao Cao said: "Wang Bi is the person I will follow during difficult times. He is loyal and hard-working, and his heart is as solid as stone. I think he is the most suitable one." So regardless of Sima Yi's advice, Wang Bi was sent to lead the imperial army and headed to Xudu Donghua. Troops were stationed outside the gate.
At that time, there was a man whose surname was Geng, whose given name was Ji, whose courtesy name was Ji Xing. He was from Luoyang. He was a minor official in the prime minister's palace before and later went to serve in the Shaofu. He had a good relationship with Sizhi Weihuang. When he saw Cao Cao ascending the throne as the king of Wei, he came and went. After using the emperor's carriage and clothes, they felt very unconvinced. Later in the spring, the two held a secret discussion and said: "Cao Cao, this evil thief, is becoming more and more arrogant. He will definitely usurp the throne and become independent in the future. We are all ministers of the Han Dynasty." , how can you do evil with him?"
Wei Huang said: "I have a confidant, whose surname is Jin and whose given name is Yi. He is a descendant of Jin Rixi, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He has always wanted to attack Cao Cao. In addition, he has a good relationship with Wang Bi. If I can persuade him If we plan together, great things can be accomplished.”
Geng Jidao: "He has a very good relationship with Wang Bi, so how could he agree to conspire with us?"
Wei Huang said: "Would you like to persuade me first and give it a try?"
So the two of them went to Jin Yi's mansion together. Jin Yi welcomed him into the back hall and sat down. Wei Huang said: "You and Wang Changshi have a very good relationship. The two of us came here specifically to persuade you."
Jin Yi said: "What do you want?"
He replied: "I heard that King Wei will be abdicated sooner or later and will ascend to the position of emperor. You and Wang Changshi will definitely be promoted. I hope you don't dislike us. We will be very grateful if you can support us when the time comes."
Jin Yi stood up suddenly, and just as the attendant brought the tea, he poured the tea on the ground. Wei Huang pretended to be very surprised and said, "Why are you so ruthless?"
He replied: "I have a good friendship with you because you are all ministers of the Han Dynasty. Now I don't think about how to repay the Han Dynasty and prepare to assist the rebels. How can I be a good friend with you!"
Geng Jidao: "However, the weather is like this, so we have to do it as a last resort!"
Jin Yi was very angry. Geng Ji and Wei Huang saw that he was really loyal, so they told the actual situation and said: "We are planning to attack the thieves and come to you, and the previous words were to test you. "
Jin Yi said: "Our family has been ministers of the Han Dynasty, how can we be compared with thieves! You are planning to help the Han Dynasty, what good ideas do you have?"
