The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

No one knows why Cao Cao did not attack Yizhou in one go after taking Hanzhong as many people imagined, but rested for two years inexplicably.

Even if he had to go back because of Xu Du's rebellion, he could return to the front line immediately after solving Xu Du's problem.

Liu Bei has not yet established a firm foothold in Yizhou, and he still has conflicts with Sun Quan. Hanzhong is the most ideal strategic location for attacking Yizhou. Cao Cao can't see such ideal conditions.

Cheng Yu couldn't figure it out at all. He planned to persuade Cao Cao to change his mind, but when Liu Ye came to visit him, he came to the mansion together with Liu Ye.

While waiting for the transmission, Cheng Yu accidentally saw someone standing in the corridor with long sleeves in front of the wind, making Cheng Yu stunned.

Until a servant came out to invite Cheng Yu and Liu Ye in, Liu Ye thanked him, but found Cheng Yu standing still.

"Zhongde?"

Only then did Cheng Yu come back to his senses.

After seeing Cao Cao, Cheng Yu didn't say anything. He also knew that Cao Cao didn't like listening to him very much. Anyway, Liu Ye could understand what he wanted to say, and Cheng Yu was absent-minded and slightly lost in thought.

Liu Ye said to Cao Cao: "Liu Bei used deceit to capture Liu Zhang. The people of Shu did not attach themselves and fought for Jiangling far away. This opportunity must not be missed. If Hanzhong is in power today, Yizhou shakes, and the army is approaching, it is bound to collapse. Therefore, the situation, Ease is skill. A sage cannot go against the time, nor will he lose the time."

Cao Cao laughed silently: "Zi Yang, this is the second time Gu heard this today, but Gu is not going to answer it again."

Eh? "Who else said this?"

"When you go out and turn right, you will see it. You can ask her how Gu answered."

Liu Ye was still confused, but Cheng Yu stood up and said goodbye.

After going out the door, Cheng Yu looked at the person in front who was still standing on the porch, and remained silent.

Liu Ye strode up, he was still thinking about what Cao Cao said: "Zhongda!"

Sima Yi turned around with a melancholy look on his face: "Master Liu, uh, General Dongzhong."

"I heard that Zhongda once advised Duke Wei to send troops to Shu. What did Duke Wei say?"

This is part of the reason for Sima Yi's depression: "Wei Gong said: 'People have no suffering, if they have Longyou, they want to win Shu again!'"

Liu Ye was also depressed.But Cheng Yu seemed to wake up suddenly: "Sure enough."

"Zhongde knew Wei Gong didn't use this trick?"

"No...it's just..." Cheng Yu looked at Sima Yi and felt that explaining would be troublesome, "The way you stood on the porch just now looked like...a person, I almost mistook it... It is expected that Duke Wei would not listen to your advice... After all, you are not... not Guo Fengxiao."

"Zhenhou also had a time when he refused to accept advice?"

"That time in Wancheng..." Cheng Yu sighed, and that time in Wancheng when Guo Jia stood under the eaves of the porch with a bottle of wine in his hands, he had the same expression. "When Feng Xiao was here, that was Duke Wei's only defeat."

"Why did Duke Wei refuse to use troops?" Liu Ye was more concerned about this.

If it is because he has no aggressiveness, it obviously doesn't make sense, because he also arranged a plan to conquer Soochow in the second half of the year.

"Maybe he wanted to fight a battle with a high chance of winning. Even if he didn't win the battle against Sun Quan, he would have nothing to lose. It would be hard to say if he attacked Yizhou."

"Maybe it's because he doesn't want to leave Xu Du. Do you all know about Hua Xin's recent activities?"

Sima Yi and Liu Ye nodded silently. Hua Xin was intensively arranging for Cao Cao to become King of Wei. They all knew this and it was expected.

In fact, the reason for Sima Yi's melancholy today is not entirely because Cao Cao didn't take her advice, it's not even the main reason.She was just in a bad mood and didn't want to go home, the house was in chaos.

Cao Pi was very happy to see Sima Yi wandering around the palace, but when he finally had time to find Sima Yi, the latter immediately went home when he saw him.Even Cao Pi was depressed now.

When Sima Yi returned home, he handed his coat to the saluting maid: "How is Madam?"

"Not yet, but the maid doctor said it will be soon."

Sima Yi sighed deeply, and hid for a long time, but still didn't dodge.

"I'll go and have a look." Sima Yi walked towards the inner house.

Before he got to the door, he heard Zhang Chunhua's painful groans inside, interspersed with the voice of the female doctor's guidance.Walking closer, Sima Yi found Master Sima standing at the door with a serious expression, as if he was waiting for something.

"Teacher."

Sima Master turned around and saw that it was his father, who was about to kneel down to salute, but Sima Yi supported him: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm afraid that something will happen to my mother, so I feel more at ease standing here and being close."

"Do you know what's going on inside?"

"I heard from the old woman inside that the mother's condition is fine and she will give birth soon."

As soon as Master Sima finished speaking, he heard a baby crying from inside.The voice of the female servant doctor Daoxi also came out: "Congratulations, madam, you are a young lady! Now you have both sons and daughters! Congratulations!"

There was a relaxed expression on Sima Yi's face, as well as a slight smile.

Zhang Chunhua inside seemed unable to believe the result: "Female... daughter! Is it a daughter? I don't believe it! Let me see!"

After half a cup of tea, Sima Yi and Master Sima outside could hear Zhang Chunhua gnashing his teeth with hatred: "Why is it a daughter! Why not a son! Others can have sons, why should I have a daughter! What I want is a son! What does a daughter have? Use! I can have a son, and I can have a son!"

Sima Yi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he pushed open the door and rushed in, regardless of the taboo in the delivery room, followed by Master Sima.

It came just right, Zhang Chunhua was putting his hand on the newborn baby's neck and strangled it down forcefully, with a hideous expression on his face, even the female waitress was so frightened that she stood trembling in the corner, unable to speak, and no one dared to stop her.Seeing this, Sima Yi decisively snatched the baby from Zhang Chunhua's hand, and examined it carefully by the light of the oil lamp.

Fortunately, the baby was fine, Sima Yi let out a sigh of relief, patted the baby lightly, and saw that she even showed a small smile.

"Give me the child!" Zhang Chunhua came to his senses, the child was no longer in her hands.

"For you? Let you kill my daughter?"

"That's my daughter!"

"My daughter. I am her father. You should know that well."

"You? Father?" Zhang Chunhua stared at Sima Yi for a while, then suddenly laughed strangely, "Do you know who her father is? Will someone be stupid enough to tell you this time?"

"I really don't want to know..." Sima Yi shook his head and sighed when he heard Zhang Chunhua's provocative words, and then looked at Zhang Chunhua's surprised eyes with satisfaction, "Didn't I tell you, nothing happened in this family can be hidden mine."

Zhang Chunhua's trump card had lost its effect, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.It wasn't until she saw Sima Yi walking out with her daughter in her arms that she suddenly realized something. Regardless of her weak body, she stayed on the bed and chased after her: "Where are you taking her? Give me back my daughter!"

"You are not in good spirits. I am afraid that you will accidentally hurt the child, so I will raise the child from now on. Don't worry about it."

"I'm her mother!" Without reason, Zhang Chunhua could only growl at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi looked into Zhang Chunhua's eyes: "Yes, I know. Madam has had a hard time giving birth, please take a good rest. Come here! Let Madam go back to bed and lie down."

Several powerful maidservants came in and dragged Zhang Chunhua back. Zhang Chunhua struggled desperately: "Sima Yi! Return my daughter!"

Sima Yi ignored her and told his maidservant: "Take care of Madam, don't let her get close to the young lady in the future, whoever is negligent will commit suicide and apologize."

After explaining, Sima Yi didn't listen to Zhang Chunhua's wailing behind him, and didn't care about the stunned female waitresses. He smiled and teased the baby in his arms as he walked out.

Master Sima grabbed his father's clothes and followed without saying a word.

"Master, come here, this is my little sister, hold her."

Master Sima looked at the baby, then at Sima Yi who was possessing him, but didn't stretch out his hand: "Father, is this really my sister?"

"Of course, it's you and Zhao'er's younger sister, you two are now big brothers."

Sima Shi took the baby: "Father, then don't hurt mother."

"how come?"

"Then, dad, let's name my sister."

Sima Yi thought of Cao Pi's sister who came to his home before getting married just to say "Let me leave my younger brother to Zhongda", the future Princess Qinghe, she was a kind woman. "Sister will be a little princess in the future, if she wants to have a princess name... Qinghe, let her name be Qinghe."

Daughter of Cao Cao, later named Princess Qinghe.Daughter of Sima Yi, later named Princess Nanyang.

Not long after Cao Cao finished dealing with Cao Zhi's matter, he killed Cui Yan.

What happened is like this: In the 21st year of Jian'an, Cao Cao entered Wei Wang, and the officials expressed their congratulations.Yang Xun, who had been recommended by Cui Yan, also expressed his praise, but Ding Yi secretly ordered people to ridicule Yang Xun's flattery, implying that Cui Yan didn't know people.Then Ding Yi asked Cui Yan to express his opinion, and Cui Yan said that these people who ridiculed Yang Xun were really boring.Ding Yi directly misinterpreted Cui Yan's words and told Cao Cao that Cao Cao sent Cui Yan to prison for "meaning no disrespect", and then executed Cui Yan because he had no fear of repentance in prison.

This is definitely not simply removing political enemies. If we really want to talk about political enemies, wouldn't those who ridiculed Yang Xun be more damned?This is purely a kind of revenge, revenge for Cao Zhi.

The son is sensitive and soft, and there are some things that are difficult to do and cannot be done, so the father does it instead.

I have to mention Ding Yi, the Ding Yi who hated Cui Yan to the core, and the Ding Yi who racked his brains to put Cui Yan to death.Ding Yi thought that if Cui Yan hadn't asked Mrs. Bian to leave Xudu, Cao Zhi would have had a gatekeeper anyway, so he wouldn't have made such a big mistake.

But we really can't say that Ding Yi is smart. His behavior can be regarded as a sigh of relief for Cao Zhi and himself, but his behavior offended Cao Pi.Moreover, Cao Pi is already the actual heir.

Isn't this death?

Therefore, when his father died, Cao Pi had no time to usurp the throne. The first thing he did was to kill all of Ding's family without hesitation. Only one baby escaped, leaving it to Chen Shou, who will write "Three Kingdoms" in the future, to ask for thousands of dollars. Dendrobium rice.

Ding Yi didn't count her own death, and her brother Ding Zhen was also involved.

When Sima Yi heard that Cui Yan was dead, he showed a clear expression, and then sighed with brotherhood... What a wonderful thing.

A few days after Sima Qinghe was born, Sima Yi called his third younger brother Sima Fu into his room, and then turned away.

Sweat broke out layer by layer from Sima Fu's body, soaking through the clothes made of thick cloth.

Sima Yi was not in a hurry at all, he was reading a book and drinking ginger tea leisurely.

"Second...Second brother." Sima Fu felt that if he didn't speak, he would collapse.

"Don't be nervous, Shu Da, the second brother called you here just to ask you, do you know how dad is doing recently?"

"...I don't know." In fact, Sima Fu knew about it, but he couldn't figure out what Sima Yi wanted to do, so he dared not say it.

"Then do you know how mother is doing recently?"

"Mother... I don't know... it should be the same..." Mrs. Zhang was sometimes clear and sometimes confused.

"You should know how your second sister-in-law is doing, right?"

After hearing this, Sima Fu knelt down uncontrollably: "Second brother! Second brother..."

"You don't have to panic. I know all about this, and it's not your fault."

"Many...thanks second brother..."

"Don't be too busy thanking me. After all, it was you who did it. What are you going to do?" Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu like a cat looks at a mouse under its claws.

"Whatever the second brother says...just do it..."

"Okay. The second brother needs you to do some things. There are a lot of people who are sick recently, and my father is also sick, so I can't see people. You are idle anyway, blocking those people outside the house. You have to explain, you come Explain, the second brother has no time now."

"But..." Sima Fu was in a dilemma, "I can stop you, brothers, but... if the eldest brother comes back from outside and wants to see Dad..."

"Then let him meet, anyway, there are not many chances." Sima Yi interrupted Sima Fu affirmatively, "I heard from Mr. Hua Tuo's disciples that people who are close to the water are easy to get sick, and the King of Wei is going to go to Soochow again. "

What Sima Yi said was calm and calm, and Sima Fu was terrified when he heard it: "Second Brother, this is going to..."

"I want to change the head of the Sima family." Sima Yi said very bluntly, not caring at all, "You should also be clear about the current situation, who will have the final say here in the future, you know in your heart the good deeds you have done, and you should Leave yourself a retreat. Anyway, you are also my brother. I have seen what you have done all these years. You are different from Sima Lang. The rest of the brothers, if anyone is overconfident, then go to the water's edge There are many opportunities. If you follow the current affairs and follow me, I will treat you kindly. Do you understand?"

"Yes……"

"By the way, there is one more thing." Sima Yi suddenly thought of Qinghe, "I just had a daughter, I want her to grow up happily, and I don't want anyone to tell her what shouldn't be said. Tell her the so-called truth, I will never forgive you lightly, Shu Da, do you remember?"

"Qinghe is the second brother's daughter, and will always be the second brother's daughter. This is the truth, what other truths are there?" Sima Fu broke out in cold sweat.

"Smart. You can go. Go to your second sister-in-law's place if you have time, and comfort her. She is not in a good mood recently."

Sima Fu said "Don't dare dare", wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and retreated.

Sima Yi was in a good mood to send Sima Fu away, and she felt that she should go and see Sima Fang.Because of his official position, Sima Lang has been separated from the government, and Sima Fang's most important son is not around, so he feels lonely, not to mention, he has been ill for a month.

Walking to the door of Sima Fang's bedroom, the guard borrowed from Cao Pi saluted Sima Yi: "Master Sima."

"Everything is peaceful? No assassins coming?"

"Don't worry, master, no one has come."

Sima Yi walked into the bedroom: "Father, Zhong Da came to visit."

Sima Fang, who was lying on the couch, glared at Sima Yi: "Get lost! You are not my son!"

"Father is sick, and angry again." Sima Yi didn't get angry. "My son has to visit him every day. Only when he sees that Daddy is fine can he rest assured."

"Who is your father? My Yi'er..." Sima Fang couldn't help crying when he thought of his second son who died tragically, "I only hate myself for being indecisive at the beginning, why didn't I kill you sooner! I left you until today... regret it It's too late!"

"Father, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. We agreed at the beginning, if you accidentally say something that shouldn't be said, brother, I can't guarantee that something will go wrong. You know, this Years of fighting with the army, if there is an accident or something, it is fate." After so many years of repression, it is not ordinary joy to finally change from a threatened person to a threatened person.

Sima Fang thought of Sima Lang, and immediately fell silent.

"Hey, that's right. Father and the sons who stay in the mansion are kind and filial. Eldest brother is also relieved when he is away. The general with five senses will not think of recommending elder brother to fight with the army."

"You must keep your word!"

"Father is willing to take the medicine on time, don't let the sons worry about it, what the son says naturally counts."

"And my wife..."

"My wife is also my mother. Although she is not my own, she treats me like a parent and child. Naturally, I will take care of my parents for a hundred years. Why don't you worry about it?"

Sima Fang turned his head away from Sima Yi.

Sima Yi smiled and walked out of the room.

Cao Cao took Hanzhong, and then became the king of Wei, and Shuzhong was shaken.

To what extent did it vibrate?Probably it was just a little bit of dust in the market, and someone shouted "Cao Cao is coming!" and then caused chaos.

This is nothing, what is hateful is that there are profiteers everywhere, and some people see business opportunities from them, and they specialize in looting them by spreading rumors and causing chaos on the streets of downtown.There is nothing to say about this kind of people, Zhuge Liang issued a strict order: Anyone who dares to spread rumors to confuse Cao Jun and profit from them, once verified, abandon the market!

Zhao Yun saw Zhuge Liang's notices posted everywhere, and felt that the punishment was a bit heavy.

"It's just some profiteers, don't you have to be so strict?"

"Looting is already a crime. Spreading rumors to confuse the public and shake the country is a felony that cannot be tolerated. Those profiteers who commit one crime are enough to be punished, not to mention that they commit two crimes. When is it now? Don't use severe punishment to scare these people, God knows them What will happen next? Capital is the most unscrupulous, Zhao Xiaoyun, do you still remember what Marx said about capital? "Capital came to the world, from head to toe, dripping blood and dirty things from every pore .''If there is a 10% profit, the capital will be guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is a 20% profit, the capital will be active; if there is a 50% profit, the capital will take risks; for 100% profit, the capital will dare to trample on all human laws'..."

"'If there is a profit of more than 300%, the capital dares to commit any crime, and even risk the risk of being hanged.'" Zhao Yun recited the last sentence, which she often heard Zhou Yu say before, and her ears were numb. .Zhou Yu majored in MBA, but always held the attitude of criticizing the theory of capitalism. "Two different things! It's not a capitalist society now!"

"The nature of capital does not change with the nature of society. It is people who change. If capital controls people, it will be so terrible. If people control capital, then it is possible to do good."

Zhao Yun felt that such a professional content could not be discussed any longer: "Okay! Stop talking! Little pig, at least I want to thank you! At least I don't have to worry about what to teach Meng Qi next time."

"The lectures are suspended, you have to prepare your army. We will quickly occupy Hanzhong while Cao Cao is away."

"I know Hanzhong is very important, but Cao Cao hasn't moved - is there some kind of conspiracy?"

"I don't know. But whether there is a conspiracy or not, Hanzhong will be taken down."

"What do the history books say about this passage?"

"forget."

Zhao Yun was speechless: "You don't need to be so frank."

"I know the result, but I don't know the process. This history book is not detailed, and you can't trust the history completely. When the time comes, let's see what happens." Zhuge Liang has always been frank and cute in front of Zhao Yun.

"Then will you go to Hanzhong?"

"I'm not sure, I won't go for the time being. My lord has a way to follow me. I'm safe. If I need it later, I will rush there. I have a lot of things to do while staying here, such as preparing food and grass for the reserve team, and taking time off." Take A Dou over or something. Oh, yes," Zhuge Liang suddenly remembered something, "Zhao Xiaoyun, you help me pay attention at the front line, maybe you have a chance to meet an old friend."

"Huh? Who?" Zhao Yun had no idea who it would be.

As soon as Zhuge Liang mentioned this person, he felt a big stone in his heart: "I really want to meet...but I don't want to meet the person."

The author has something to say:

Sima Yi began to take revenge.

When it comes to revenge, sometimes people turn from victims to perpetrators. How Cao Pi took away Cao Rui back then is similar to how Sima Yi took Sima Qinghe away now.Of course, Zhang Chunhua's luck is better, at least she still lives with her daughter.

Sima Lang was in danger, and so was Sima Fang. Sima Yi took advantage of an opportunity in 217 to tidy up the Sima family and established her position as the head of the Sima family.

Zhuge Liang's principle of severe punishment and strict law first appeared. The guiding principle of "state control of capital" has begun to emerge.

In the end, everyone knows the characters Zhuge Liang wants to meet and doesn't want to meet, so I won't talk about them.
