The envoy arrived at Sima Yi's mansion, but he did not see Sima Yi coming out. Sima Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi, and his second son, Sima Zhao, greeted the envoy with sad faces.
The envoy was shocked when he heard the words, and hurried inside to watch, but saw Sima Yi lying motionless on the bed, as if he had suffered a stroke. A maid came to feed Sima Yi medicine. A bowl of decoction, but more than half of it was spilled on the body, it really looked like he was terminally ill.
The envoy went back to report, and someone said that Cao Cao recruited Sima Yi as an official in the past, and Sima Yi also said that he could not get sick. This time, he may have pretended to be sick, so Cao Rui went to visit Sima Yi's home in person, but he still did not find any flaws, so he could only speak well. Appease it, and then choose someone else to resist Zhuge Liang.
After Cao Rui left, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers came to Sima Yi's bed. After retreating from the crowd, Sima Yi immediately stood up and sat up. There was no cloudiness in his eyes, and he looked a little seriously ill.
Sima Shi asked, "Father, now that Xia Houmao and Xia Houshang have lost their troops one after another, and no one in the court can stop Zhuge Liang except father, why don't you take this opportunity to go out and regain the military power?"
"If there is only Zhuge villager, there is still something to do, but even if a father can stop Zhuge Liang, Cao Zidan can't stop Shen Zifeng; and Cao Rui's young son has little virtue and hopelessness, Cao Wei is running out of time, why should we wait?" Working for him?" Sima Yi sneered, "If he hadn't been suspicious of me before, how could Chang'an have been lost!"
"If it wasn't for Shen Zifeng, perhaps Lu Meng would have taken Jingzhou long ago, and Guan Yu would have died. If Guan Yu died, Liu Bei would have conquered Soochow himself. No matter who wins or loses in this battle, Soochow and Shuhan will be greatly injured. At that time, all the troops will go south. There is hope for the unification of the world! Father can also use this to achieve something! But there is an extra Shen Zifeng!" Sima Shi also hated Shen Long.
"Yeah, without him, Zhuge Liang would be the one to support Shuzhong. Even if Jingzhou is still there, we can only choose one way to advance. This way, we can easily deal with it. Now Jingzhou and Qishan are flanked by soldiers and horses, and Dongwu Constantly harassing Xuzhou and Hefei, it is inevitable that one will lose sight of the other." Sima Zhao also echoed.
"As a father, I am conceited that I have the ability to observe people. Whether it is Zhuge villager or Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others, their strategies have never exceeded my expectations, but this Shen Zifeng has never been able to see through! Xing imperial examinations to attract poor families, Shu Since then, there has been no worry of talent shortage in China; the key is salt making, Chengdu paper making and book printing, and Jingzhou garrisoning fields. Various methods have made the Shu Han increasingly prosperous and powerful, but such means are beyond our imagination." Sima Yi sighed, salt making, paper making and printing He doesn't know anything about books, but he knows how to farm, but he can only follow the usual practice, but he can't produce so many good seeds and farm tools.
"Such a character is expected to be famous all over the world when he was young. Why has he never heard of his name? But he suddenly appeared at the critical moment of Shu Han's life and death. He defeated Lu Meng and saved Guan Yu, and even saved Shu Han. Could it be that the big man is real? Destiny is still alive, can God send this person to rescue the great man?" Of course Sima Yi can see that if Jingzhou is lost, the Shu Han will completely lose the chance to fight for world hegemony, and can only settle down in a corner, but at this critical juncture, Shen Long took a risk. out.
"Father, what should my Sima family do?" Asked Master Sima, this was actually what they were most concerned about. It didn't matter whether the world belonged to Cao Wei or Shu Han, what mattered was how the Sima family acted according to the time.
"Let's look at it for a while, although the power of the Shu Han has skyrocketed, it is still time to decide the winner; I heard that the Zhuge villager has written a letter to Liu Bei, asking Liu Bei to move his capital to Chang'an. Liu Bei is now sixty-five years old. Only Emperor Xiaowu was older than Liu Bei, and even including Wang Mang, a rebel, there were only two of them, Zhuge Liang would be unwise to move from Chengdu to Chang'an at such an age." Sima Yi also expressed dissatisfaction with Liu Bei's lifespan. look good.
Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers all nodded, yes, among so many emperors, only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che lived to be seventy, and Wang Mang lived to be sixty-nine.
None of the others lived as long as Liu Bei. Even Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, lived only sixty-three years; If you don't accept it, you will definitely die immediately. Liu Bei's hope of Cao Wei came as soon as he hung up.
How many things happened when Cao Rui succeeded to the throne before? Cao Wei was in a mess, which gave the Shu Han a chance to attack. If Liu Bei died, would similar things happen to the Shu Han?
"I heard that Liu Chan, the prince of Liu Bei, is weak, and there are many officials in the Shu Han who are dissatisfied. When Liu Bei passes away, we can return the same way to him." Can Sima Yi not guess that those rumors are all methods of the Shu Han?
"Although this is the case, now that Zhuge Liang and Shen Long's army is close at hand, how should the court respond?" Sima Zhao asked. Whether Liu Bei will die or not is a matter of the future, but now the Shu Han army is about to attack.
If the soldiers and horses along the way were okay, they could still be blocked by dangerous passes, but now Zhuge Liang is going from west to east, and Shen Long is going from south to north. Such a two-sided attack may not be able to stop even if Sima Yi goes out of the mountain, let alone Sima Yi is not planning to make a move yet.
"Emperor Taizu also failed many times back then, didn't he still rule the north in the end? Just move the capital to Yecheng to break the situation." Sima Yi said disdainfully, for his veteran qualifications, temporary success or failure is nothing What happened? Who can laugh at the end is the real winner.
Since Luoyang is no longer safe, then move the capital to Yecheng in the north. Yecheng is north of the Yellow River. You can rely on the natural danger of the Yellow River to block the Shu Han army, and then wait for the opportunity to plan a counterattack.
After hearing this, Sima Zhao and Sima Shi were all in admiration. If Cao Wei is obsessed with Luoyang, he just fell into the trap of the Shu Han, using Luoyang to greatly consume Cao Wei's strength, and Cao Wei abandoned Luoyang. But came back to life.
The two of them immediately asked Sima Yi if he wanted to tell Cao Rui this idea, but Sima Yi shook his head in denial, saying that someone in the court must have put forward this idea, and there was no need to do it himself.
Sure enough, seeing that Sima Yi was seriously ill and had no one to lead the army, some people in the court immediately realized that it was impossible to defend Luoyang, so they thought over and over again, and finally came up with a plan to move the capital to Yecheng.
So when Liu Bei went north to prepare to return his capital to Chang'an, Cao Wei also changed the location of his capital. They gave up Luoyang and moved their capital to Yecheng on the north side of the Yellow River.
