Take the department store back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 368 Sima Yi's Ambition
The eight sons of the Sima family.

The next six are all afraid of the second brother Sima Yi.

At this moment, I want to understand why Yuan Tan came here.

They all looked at their elder brother Sima Lang.

Sima Lang shook his head, "I don't know."

Everyone was disappointed, and my brother didn't know it.Who knows.

Who knows, Sima Yi said lightly: "I know."

"Second brother?"

Six pairs of eyes, treacherous inside, with some timidity.

Sima Yi must still be young and frivolous to some extent, but when it comes to business, he is more magnanimous than his elder brother Sima Lang.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he said calmly: "There are two points. First, I got married, and many people from the noble families of Bingzhou came."

"Second, after I get married, I will come out to do things."

After getting married and starting a business, they are all married, so they definitely can't stay at home and continue to eat free food.

Even ordinary people are like this, let alone Sima Yi who has great ambitions and is extremely capable.

"Eldest Young Master, come to ask Second Brother to come out to help you personally?"

"Second brother, don't you think too highly of yourself?"

Although a group of younger brothers were very afraid of Sima Yi, they all looked disgusted at the moment.

"Hehe." Sima Yi looked calm,

Brothers, I envy and hate Sima Yi's talent, so I have no good words.

Only Sima Lang showed deep thought, "Second Brother, if that's the case, will you join the Shence Mansion?"

"Hehe." Sima Yi just smiled.

Outer hall.

"Serve tea again." Sima Fang motioned.

Yuan Tan and Sima Fang sat across the table, pushed the tea bowl aside, approached and said, "Uncle, I heard that your boss went to Cao Cao's place."

"This..." Sima Fang was embarrassed. After all, everyone in the world knew about the conflict between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

But it's just embarrassment, not fear.

Because according to the rules of the gentry, Yuan Tan can't do anything to the Sima family.

And although the eldest son of the Yuan family in front of him is strong, he is not strong enough to formulate rules.

Even Yuan Shao's strength cannot reach the power to make rules.

Sima Fang wisely did not answer, but picked up the tea and drank it.

Yuan Tan started another line, "Old man, this time the second son's big marriage is a family, followed by a career. After marriage, he must come out to work. I have a vacancy."

Sima Fang suddenly realized that it turned out that the eldest son left the army and came here because of this matter.

inner hall.

The pot has been fried silently.

A group of boys in their seventies, eighties, nineties, eleven or twelve years old covered their mouths with their hands and looked at their second brother Sima Yi in shock and awe.

Sima Lang's face turned ugly. You must know that he went to Cao Cao's place to apply for a job on his own initiative.

Cao Cao gave him a donkey.

Probably similar to a sub-level clerk.

And Yuan Tan took the initiative to recruit his second brother, so his second brother's position must be higher than his.

Sima Yi remained calm instead.

Outer hall.

Sima Fang stood up excitedly and said, "It's an honor for the Eldest Young Master to value the dog so much. So let him come to see..., come here."

a while.

The person who sent to look for Sima Yi came back, "Sir, the second son can't be found for a while."

Sima Fang frowned, and when he faced Yuan Tan, he calmed down and said, "Eldest Young Master, my dog's wedding is coming soon, maybe something has delayed it, how about this, give Eldest Young Master a reply tomorrow."

"Alright, the second young master will get married in the next day. There must be a lot of things going on in your residence. I'm really bothering you, so I'll leave for now."

Yuan Tan got up and said.

"My lord, please be polite." Sima Fang got up and saw him off.

After Yuan Tan left.

When Sima Fang returned to the hall, he saw eight sons, not one less.

Immediately dissatisfied, "Zhong Da, follow me."

in the secret room.

"Zhongda, since you have been in the back hall, you have heard what the eldest son said, what do you mean?"

Sima Yi asked back, "What does father mean?"

Sima Fang stroked his beard, "I think you should go to the Yuan family, and your elder brother is with Cao Cao. No matter who gains power between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the future, the Sima family will not fall."

"I'm not going to Yuan Tan's place." Sima Yi's attitude suddenly became firm.

"Why?" Sima Fang was dumbfounded.

You must know that it is really a good thing to go to the Shence Mansion, not to mention that Yuan Tan personally invited him, and after going there, his status is definitely not low.

Sima Yi stood up and walked to the window, "My child is determined to dominate the world..."

"Ah?" Sima Fang was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, he is also a person with life experience, so he stood up and said with a sigh: "My son has such ambitions, it is commendable. If it was a few years ago, if you were born a few years earlier, and my father would spend all his wealth, he would also help you raise troops... …”

When Cao Cao raised his troops, it was Cao Cao's father who lost all his wealth.

The implication of Sima Fang's words was that it was too late.

Now recruiting 8000 troops, before the training is over, the Yuan family will come with a large army.

After failure, they will never get any kind treatment, and they will definitely be killed.

Because the Sima family is in the early stage, the rules of the power game will not continue to protect the Sima family who has become a player.

Among the gentry in the world, no one will speak for the Sima family.

Sima Yi's expression darkened. For him, he could only wait for the next opportunity to raise troops, and said:
"Although I am young, I have also learned the art of knowing people. Yuan Tan seems to be benevolent and generous, but in fact he is decisive. He has no woman's benevolence, but at the same time he can endure. If I go to him, the future will definitely be a bird bow Tibetan……."

Sima Fang was shocked again, and the premise of Niao Gongzang was that his meritorious service was unrivaled, "Son, you are more confident than Han Xin back then."

The words were slightly sarcastic.

Back then, Han Xin was very confident.A small soldier, yelling every day that the generals are rubbish, he is not good enough to be a general.

And also said that Xiang Yu has done everything, and there is no need for him to do anything.

Instead, he wanted to let the world know that he was stronger than Xiang Yu, so he abandoned Xiang Yu and went to the weak Liu Bang.

Liu Bang lacked great generals to do great things, so Han Xin finally defeated Xiang Yu and his name went down in history.

Sima Yi said seriously: "How can Han Xin compare with me? But one thing, if I go to Yuan Tan, the situation is similar to that of Han Xin when he was with Xiang Yu. If I go to Yuan Tan's place, I will not be able to fully display my ambitions, and I will not be able to achieve the ultimate goal." The authority should go to Cao Cao."

Sima Fang said: "Since you can see through the world like this, why don't you see that the Yuan family is powerful..."

Sima Yi said solemnly: "The reincarnation of heaven, everything is only temporary. Cao Cao's potential is also huge. With my help, the outcome of the future battle with the Yuan family is unknown."

Sima Fang suddenly felt that this son was too wild, more confident than Han Xin back then.

But it seems that he is not arrogant yet, and knows that the outcome of a game is unknown.

"But Cao Cao is known as a minister capable of ruling the world and a hero in troubled times. His subordinate Xun Yu and Wang Zuo are as talented as Zhang Liang. If you go to him, won't you be able to hide your bow?"

Sima Yi said lightly: "I'm afraid I won't survive Yuan Tan."

"???" Sima Fang found that he couldn't keep up with his son's thinking.

As a father, Sima Yi's abilities were clear to him, so he was happy and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Cao Cao's sons are all incompetent. He wants to leave him alone. How can he hide behind his bow?"

Tuogu, powerful ministers, and then... raised troops.

Sima Fang fell into deep thought, what he said made sense.

As a parent, Sima Fang knew that he was not as good as Sima Yi, and his other sons were not as good as Sima Yi.

And Sima Yi did not raise troops recklessly to fight for hegemony, but became a powerful minister and re-entered the Tao.

Decades later, things are planned now.

It has to be impressive.

Of course he wants to support his capable son, "Okay, tomorrow I will reject the eldest son."

……

night.

Hanoi station.

Already under martial law.

In the hall, Yuan Tan sat up high.

In the hall, there are nine noble families from Bingzhou sitting.

Its representative figure is Wang Chang, the eldest son of the Jinyang royal family.

Wang Chang was a well-known figure in the Cao Wei regime in history. He was an official hussar general and three companies.

Now his father is old and sick, has actually mastered the family, and is also a young and promising person.

The gentry in Bingzhou looked up to the king's family, just like Yuan's family in Jizhou and Sima's family in the northern part of Sili.

Wang Chang stood up and waved his hand.Most of the other gentry were not the head of the family, and they couldn't compare with his status. After standing up and saluting Yuan Tan, they withdrew.

Yuan Tan didn't get up, he knew that Wang Chang must have something confidential to say.

Sure enough, Wang Chang saluted and said: "According to the information I got, the third son's defense is very tenacious, and Zhang Yang and Zhang Yan can't get off in an instant."

He said again: "Since Zhang Yang has united with the thieves, he is no longer the master of our Bingzhou."

"The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have always been the heads of our noble family. Now Yuan Gong is in charge of the court, and the world is united. However, I am in the same line as the state, and I also have my own difficulties. A few days ago, Zhang Yang urged food, maybe it can be slower..."

Yuan Tan stood up, "If this is the case, there will be rich rewards in the future."

"Hey..." Wang Chang sighed, hiding his face in shame and leaving.

This shame was not because he couldn't help Yuan Tan much, but because he had betrayed Yang, the advocate of Bingzhou.

Yuan Tan knew very well that the conflict between the gentry and the bandits must be painful.

If Zhang Yang hadn't colluded with bandits, people like Wang Chang wouldn't have just surrendered to him.

Instead, he will go all out to help Zhang Yang.

If they don't go all out to help Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang wins, they won't survive.

The Yuan family won, and they did not end well.

If they are not loyal to Zhang Yang today, they will not be loyal to the Yuan family in the future, and the Yuan family will definitely not treat them kindly.

On the contrary, they tried their best to help Zhang Yang. Even if Zhang Yang lost, the Yuan family would treat them kindly.

This is Game of Thrones, in a nutshell.

Guo Jia came out, "My lord, this Wang Chang is an extraordinary person. He betrayed Zhang Yang like this, but he will be praised by the world for abandoning the dark and turning to the bright."

Yuan Tan nodded deeply, the few important ministers in the late Cao Wei period were by no means idle.

"My lord, what happened to Sima Yi?" Guo Jia asked.

Yuan Tan sat down again, and said as if taking care of himself: "Since I came to Sima's mansion, I made it clear that I came because of Sima Yi. But Sima Yi didn't show up at all. I'm afraid this person doesn't want to come to work in our Shence mansion."

Guo Jia was very embarrassed. After all, it was his suggestion to recruit Sima Yi here.

Yuan Tan said again: "People's hearts are separated by belly, who knows what kind of tricks Sima Yi will have in his heart in the future, and he also doesn't know what kind of tricks this person has in his heart now."

"Feng Xiao, it's a good idea to come here to meet Wang Chang and other Bingzhou gentry. Within three days, the fighting at my third brother's place will ease, buying time for our reinforcements."

"Next, let's watch the fun of Sima Yi's wedding."

"Here." Guo Jia cupped his hands and took two steps back, then said, "Young Master, don't worry, Sima Yi will definitely visit you tomorrow."

Based on the status of both parties, Yuan Tan is on top and Sima Yi is on bottom.

Yuan Tan came to recruit as a high-ranking person. Whether Sima Yi agreed or disagreed, he had to come forward, and Yuan Tan also had a step down.

Even if the two parties are only in a general relationship, they should come forward.

If Sima Yi didn't see him, he would be blatantly belittling Yuan Tan deliberately in order to enhance his reputation, and his heart would be punished.
