Chapter 627 - A Failure
Xiahou Xuan smiled and said, "Ziming, your kung fu of pretending to be sick is not good, compared to Sima Yi's old horseman, it is still a little worse." ”
Sima Yi's kung fu of pretending to be sick is famous all over the world, thinking that when he was young, in order to resist Cao Cao's call, he pretended to suffer from wind paralysis and collapsed on the bed, motionless.
If you pretend to be a patient, you can pretend to be sick, but if you pretend like Sima Yi for seven years, you will be paralyzed on the bed for seven years, which is indeed unprecedented and unprecedented.
What's more, Cao Cao didn't believe that Sima Yi could suffer from this disease at a young age, so he secretly sent someone to test it, and it was very unkind to secretly take a needle to prick Sima Yi's leg, but Sima Yi resisted it and didn't show his feet at all.
It wasn't until seven years later that Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi was born, and after all, this paper couldn't contain the fire, Cao Cao was furious when he heard the news, didn't you have wind paralysis, and you could still give birth to a son, your special ability is too great, right? So Cao Cao recruited again and released the rumor that if Sima Yi dared to disobey again, he would be killed.
This time, Sima Yi could only obediently respond to the order, but Sima Yi's performance comparable to that of an Oscar-winning actor was enough to convince the world.
Compared with Sima Yi, Cao Liang's acting skills are much worse, full of flaws, and Xiahou Xuan can see through it at a glance, Cao Liang had to sit up, and said with a smile: "Brother Taichu's eyes are like torches, and he can't hide it if he wants to." ”
Xiahou Xuan smiled, his face became solemn, he sighed softly, and said, "Ziming, I have heard about you, the general did not do a good job in this matter, and he has wronged you." ”
Cao Liang came down to the ground, asked Xiahou Xuan to sit down, and said lightly: "It's not about being wronged or not, it's just a matter of hiding the bow." How is Brother Tai Chu doing in Guanlong? ”
Xiahou Xuan shook his head lightly, sighed and said: "Although he is the governor of Yongliang, he may not be able to dominate the affairs of Yongliang, he is called General Zhengxi, but he is constrained everywhere, and it is difficult to do anything." ”
"Oh, what's the matter, is it possible that Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou, has always been in defiance of the yang and the yin and refused to cooperate?"
Xiahou Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Just one Guo Huai, there is nothing to be afraid of, but it's a pity that the Yongliang water is too deep, and I want to turn the tide with my own strength, and try to climb to the sky." ”
Xiahou Xuan's situation in Yongliang, although Cao Liang did not see it with his own eyes, he can guess seven or eight points, Yongliang is Sima Yi's base camp, Sima Yi has worked hard for many years, from General Assassin Shi to the county commander Junhou, almost all of them are people he has cultivated with one hand, such a dense bureaucratic system, intertwined and widely implicated, how can Xiahou Xuan alone be shaken.
Shu in the Zhuge Liang era, constantly sent troops to harass the border of Wei, at the beginning, the imperial court sent the metropolitan governor Cao Zhen to lead troops to resist, but Cao Zhen was defeated by Zhuge Liang several times, depressed and died, the court had to change Sima Yi as the governor of Yongliang, presiding over the war on the western front.
Sima Yi is well versed in the way of cooking rabbits and dead dogs, so when facing Zhuge Liang, it was obvious that the Wei army had the advantage of having a large number of troops, but Sima Yi repeatedly used the tactics of shrinking, dragging and procrastinating, and being able to keep the rules, which was completely a state of passive defense.
However, Sima Yi was very active in cultivating cronies to entrap his henchmen, and those loyal to him were promoted and reused, while the generals who had a gap with him were excluded and framed. The most vivid example is the left general Zhang He, because he disagreed with Sima Yi, he was finally framed by Sima Yi, and was ambushed by the Shu army in Mumendao, and was killed by an arrow.
After many purges, Sima Yi has formed an iron-clad camp in Yongliang, even if Sima Yi left Yongliang and was transferred back to Luoyang, but his influence in Yongliang is still unshakeable.
In fact, Cao Liang is in Bingzhou, that is, he has completely copied Sima Yi's achievements in Yongliang, and now in Bingzhou, even if Cao Liang has left, but Cao Liang's descendants have firmly controlled everything in Bingzhou, even if the imperial court sends a new governor of Bingzhou at this moment, it will be completely useless.
Xiahou Xuan's position in Yongliang has always been embarrassing, and Cao Shuang sent Xiahou Xuan to Yongliang for an obvious purpose, that is, he wanted to control Yongliang's army through Xiahou Xuan and eliminate Sima Yi's influence in Yongliang.
I have to say that Xiahou Xuan, the governor of Yongliang, has failed very much, even if he has Xiahou Ba, the protector of Shu, as an assistant, Xiahou Xuan also seems to be isolated in Yongliang.
Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou, was originally an old fritter, treacherous and slippery, on the surface, he had great respect for Xiahou Xuan, and he had to report to Xiahou Xuan on big and small matters, but every time Xiahou Xuan made some suggestions or gave some orders, Guo Huai would always prevaricate for various reasons, and these reasons were always so high-sounding that they could not be refuted.
When he first arrived in Chang'an, Xiahou Xuan was full of ambition, like a sharp sword, forging ahead, trying to do something, but after a few years, he found that this sharp sword was useless, and gradually rusted and became dull, and there was no longer the style of the year.
Xiahou Xuan told Cao Liang that he was in Yongliang, as if he was stuck in a quagmire swamp, no matter how he struggled, he could never get out of the predicament, but fell deeper and deeper, unable to save himself.
Xiahou Xuan asked Cao Liang for advice, is there any good way to get out of the current predicament?
Cao Liang shook his head and said that he didn't have any good way, Yongliang's territory, Sima Yi has worked hard for so many years, and it is not easy to shake it easily, unless the entire official system in Yongliang can be replaced, the cleansing that should be cleaned, the transfer that should be transferred, and the uprooting of Sima Yi's cronies, so that there is a chance to turn the tables.
But this is just wishful thinking, if it is really implemented, it will inevitably cause great turmoil in the Yongliang defense line, you must know that Jiang Wei of Shu has been eyeing Hanzhong, waiting for the opportunity to cut Wei, if there is a change in Yongliang's defense line, it will undoubtedly give Jiang Wei an opportunity, and it is really hard to say who this territory of Yongliang belongs to.
Therefore, it is impossible to carry out a large-scale purge and removal on such an important border front as Yongliang, and maintaining the status quo as much as possible is the best deterrent to the Shu army, so that they do not dare to act rashly.
In fact, Xiahou Xuan can also use relatively mild methods, slowly trying to do it, secretly dispatching cronies, taking over important positions, and encroaching step by step. But Cao Liang knew that there was not much time left for Xiahou Xuan, and I was afraid that before it was his turn to make a move, the Sima family had already taken action in Luoyang.
