When the news came, Cao Cao immediately mobilized his troops and marched south.

The poisonous medicine tormented his body, but the vitality in the pain spread back to his aging life, making him clearly feel another force in his body against the disease.

His head, which was numb from pain, was abnormally awake.

Poison and disease are fighting in the body, and it will only be your own body that will fall down in the end.

How many years can he live?

When Cao Cao boarded the bow, he saw the wind and moon in front of him, and the vastness of the mist, but he didn't feel desolate at all, only the magnificent river and the surging waves in his eyes.

How long can you be happy in life?To end in splendor is to be immortal.

……

Before departure, rectify personnel.

The young, energetic and ambitious Cao Zhi naturally appeared in the accompanying list, while the eldest son Cao Pi, who had been neglected recently, stayed behind in Yecheng under the strong advice of Yang Xiu.

The relationship between the two brothers suddenly deteriorated, and they could be assassinated even in their old lair. Who can guarantee that Cao Pi will not kill people with a knife in the wild frontline?

For this young and immature young master, Yang Xiu really broke his heart.

Cao Pi wanted to fight for it, but was stumbled by another insignificant matter.

His friend and literary master Sima Yi said recently that he is not sick.

Sima Yi said that the illness has a long history, and it can be regarded as an allusion.

Since the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao heard of this person's reputation and called him into office several times. However, this Sima boy was not only not grateful for Dade, but also lied again and again that he had wind arthralgia and refused to be Cao's staff.

It is arrogant to pretend to be sick once, but you will not know how to praise it several times.

Is Cao Cao a man who has been manipulated? Immediately a decree goes down, the prison cell and the court room, choose one for yourself.

So Sima Yi packed up his luggage and came to Yecheng disheveledly. He hit it off with Cao Pi, who was also living under his father's pressure every day, and became a close friend.

This old incident has gradually subsided, and Sima Yi's operation caused a lot of trouble in the city. Cao Cao, who was busy preparing for the battle, had to find time to call Li Yinzhou for a consultation——

"Tell him, if Gu comes back and he is still ill, then go to the prison and show Gu a prisoner of war!"

Li Yinzhou took the order and left.

Sima Yi lives in a secluded courtyard.

A locust tree is planted leisurely in front of the court.

Sima Yi was rolling up his sleeves, squatting on the grass shoes, studying a caterpillar that was climbing on the tree trunk with great interest, when he happened to catch a glimpse of a figure standing quietly behind the door, his smile froze immediately, and he held onto the Moaning/groaning a few words at the waist.

The visitor stands in the afterglow of the setting sun.

With eyes closed, he watched the shadow on the ground getting longer and longer without moving.

Seeing that he didn't intend to move, Sima Yi coughed lightly, raised his fist to cover his lips, and showed his bitterly frowned brows.

"You don't say a word when your honor comes, Yi is powerless and really can't welcome you."

Some dim twilight shone along the edge of the fence, and the expression on Mr. Zhou Yin's face was extremely accommodating. He didn't hear the expected threat, but he walked into the courtyard with carefree steps and looked at him. With serious eyes, he clasped his wrist directly.

His brows furrowed.

Sima Yi blinked his eyes.

Really a witch doctor?Not an envoy who came to lobby, nor a military officer who came to fetch people?

He asked cautiously: "Is the master Mr. Zhou Zimu, the genius doctor?"

The big and small things around Cao Cao are all news in Yecheng.

It's hard for Sima Yi not to know.

Ever since he heard that this person had cured the Prime Minister's headache, he was startled to feel that something was wrong, and sure enough, he heard that Cao Gong immediately put the Southern Expedition on the agenda.

fight?Too dangerous!

He immediately bribed the imperial doctor skillfully, saying that he was sick at home and stayed at home.

By the way, I also advise my close friend Cao Ziheng not to take this muddy water.

Li Yinzhou nodded and continued to watch his performance.

Everyone knows that Sima Yi pretends to be sick, but the heart of a tiger and wolf hidden under the shell of unrestrained, greedy for life and fear of death is skillfully concealed by this timid expression in front of him.

Sima Yi was stared at by him.

There was no one around, and he said cowardly: "Sir, did you see any different symptoms?"

The constricted pupils were filled with worry that he might be exposed as a fake.

Li Yinzhou simply accompanied him to continue the performance, frowning, and his eyes were not good: "Mr. Sima's illness is very rare, not the wind paralysis that those quack doctors said, I have never seen it in my life, I only heard a few words from the master, I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

Sima Yi lowered his eyes and whispered, "Sir, please tell me."

Li Yinzhou said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "In the past, when all the countries competed for supremacy, Chu State was one of them. At that time, there was a man named Fan Li who was seriously ill at home and went crazy. He was called 'Chu Madness' by the world. From my point of view, the crux of Jun’s problem is somewhat similar to Chu Kuang’s.”

Sima Yi's gaze was subtle for a moment.

There was a faint cold light between the drooping eyelashes.

Li Yinzhou paused, and said calmly: "Fortunately, Chu Kuang met Wen Zhong, and his illness improved overnight, and then he became the king of Yue Gou Jian's important minister. It can be seen that a confidant is the best medicine in the world. Zhong Da met Zihuan, I think the day of recovery is not too far away."

Sima Yi raised his eyes.

There was a bit of cold light in the lazy eyes, like a cold and bright refraction reflected on porcelain, he quietly glanced at the other party, and suddenly smiled.

That cowardly look was completely gone.

The stiff fingers suddenly became flexible, tapped his forehead, and then pointed at Li Yinzhou.

"The purpose of Jun and Yi is the same, why do you want to force each other?"

This time it was Li Yinzhou who pretended to be crazy and stupid: "What purpose does a certain grassroots person have?"

Sima Yi smiled knowingly, and stood up straight in the thick light of the setting sun, all confusions were resolved.

He looked up at the sky, raised his eyebrows and said, "At the beginning, when you approached Cao Zhi to meet the prime minister, I thought you were ambitious and smart. But then you acted so presumptuously that you played tricks in front of Duke Cao to tease their brothers." relationship, I can't figure it out, what is your purpose for doing this."

Speaking of this, Sima Yi stood up with his hands behind his back, only his eyes turned to Li Yinzhou, and he smiled a little proudly: "Now I finally understand that your purpose is to make Yang Xiu have to beware of Cao Pi's revenge. If you want Cao Pi to be unable to go to the front line, you want me Sima Yi retreated to Yecheng. Because of you..."

Mu Feng pushed the clouds away, and the sky suddenly dimmed. The glow faded from Sima Yi's cheeks, and his eyes shone with coldness.

"You are from Jiangdong."

The tone is very certain.

What he couldn't figure out before was why Zhou Yin had to work so hard to force Cao Pi to stay, but what he said today made him understand that he had seen through his own drama and ambition long ago!

This person knew that Sima Yi, who was known by the world as a figurehead, greedy for life and fearful of death, was definitely not someone in the pool.

He knew that if he went to the front line, it would definitely affect the battle situation!

Sima Yi glanced at his innocent and gentle expression, and for the first time felt that he was being calculated by someone—he had even deceived Cao Cao, who had a good insight into everything.

But at the same time, a kind of fierce mood of horses neighing and swords ringing suddenly rolled over, and I couldn't help feeling a regret that I only hated being born on both sides of the Yangtze River.How many people in this world can see through Sima Yi's ambition and mind through the mundane dust?

Sima Yi sighed, and said leisurely: "So you and I have the same purpose. We don't want Zihuan's party to participate in the Southern Expedition. In this Southern Expedition, I am afraid that Jiangdong will be included in the prime minister's pocket. The battle situation is clear. The front line It seems that the future is bright, but in fact there is no place for us juniors to speak. Besides, the prime minister is suspicious by nature, so it is better to guard Yecheng safely, maybe there is still a chance to make contributions."

He also hesitated.

But with Zhou Yin's help, Yang Xiu took the lead, and Cao Pi's party fell into a passive position.What's more, at the beginning of the year Sima Zhao Wen recommended Cao Pi to be demoted, and Cao Cao may not be willing to let the eldest son of the first line come forward early.

For the current plan, the only way to advance is to retreat.

The setting sun is heavy and the haze is misty.

After Sima Yi spoke, his excited mood returned to tranquility. He idly fiddled with the withered vegetation and glanced back inadvertently: "Since Mr.'s goal has been achieved, why are you still looking for Yi today? I'm afraid these thoughts are not from Cao. His permission?"

Li Yinzhou quietly listened to what he said.

He said: "Perhaps Mr. Cao does not know your thoughts, nor does he know the origin of XX, but he is definitely not someone who is being teased by you and me."

"Indeed." Sima Yi laughed mockingly, "Dr. Cao wanted to suppress Zihuan's party, and he didn't want him to be too outstanding, so he gradually supported Zijian, deliberately creating a situation where brothers fought each other, in order to train a man who is not afraid of bloodshed." Successor. You and I are just pawns in his hands, how can the person who holds the pawns guess the joy and anger of the pawns?"

At this point, he paced a few steps, walked out of the thick shade under the tree, leaned his tall body slightly, almost face to face with Li Yinzhou.

The two eyes are very close.

Sima Yi said: "Mr. Cao is well aware of your drama, but to him you are at most Cao Zhi's man. Although he intends to balance the forces of the two parties, he will not trust you easily. So for a while, the two men in the sky prison I can't let you go. But you are from Jiangdong, and you will go south with the army on this trip, so you may not come back."

It is very easy to talk to wise people.

Li Yinzhou only spoke a few words, and the other party already understood the purpose of his trip.

Cao Cao went south, and the city of Ye behind was guarded by Cao Pi. He wanted to ask Sima Yi to take the opportunity to design and rescue Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji.

Sima Yi said so dryly, he couldn't help licking his lips, and said with a fox-like sophistication in his eyes: "Then why should I help you?"

Li Yinzhou met his sly gaze and smiled slightly: "If Mr. Cao knows that Mr. Sima is so good at planning, he might not be willing to let his son befriend such a dangerous friend, right?"

Sima Yi laughed nonchalantly.

Only the lazy emotions in the eyes tensed up, the tiny muscles in the eye circles twitched slightly, and the gaze became narrower and longer.

"You don't have any evidence, just relying on your mouth?" He is not easily manipulated, "It is not such a simple matter to frame someone."

Li Yinzhou's expression was extremely peaceful, and he said indifferently: "I'm Jiangdong's secret agent, so it's not surprising that I have an internal response."

Sima Yi's eyes froze: "Cao Gong won't believe your nonsense."

Li Yinzhou laughed: "Then why not try it."

The two whispered close to each other, their noses intermingled, and they seemed to be extremely intimate, but there was a hidden edge in the words, and they fought hand-to-hand, and you came and I showed swords and swords.

At this moment, Sima Yi had to admit that he was at a disadvantage.

Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. He is more willing to die than the other party, but the other party dares to fight for his life.

Besides, it is better to have a friend than to make an enemy.

Sima Yi's eyes softened, as he tacitly agreed that he was slightly inferior.

There is only one thing that he still can't figure out to this day.

Simply ask clearly: "I still don't understand. You are not afraid of death and you have to go through this muddy water. Since you have no fear of life and death, why don't you just stop doing it and poison Cao Gong?"
