Seeing that his lord had already made a decision, Xiahoudun didn't think about it anymore. He also knew that he didn't have a chance this time, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't have a chance in the future. And to deal with him, Ma Mengqi and the Liangzhou Army can't be finished this time, so there will still be many opportunities in the future.

And Cao Cao glanced at everyone at this time, and they all had no opinions, they all agreed with their worst decision, and he shouted: "Come on!" ”

The soldier walked in, "My lord! ”

"Quickly find Mr. Sima, and say that I have something important to discuss!"

"No!"

The soldiers went to find Sima Yi, and Xiahoudun and the others were also quite curious. Especially Xiahoudun, he said in his heart who this Sima Yi is, and he will definitely see how he is in a while. If you dare to be rude again, hehe, you must make it look good, and then don't blame me Xiahou Yuan for not giving him face, hum! ——

Not to mention that Xiahoudun was slandering there, just said that the soldiers were ordered to find Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was reading a book at this time, and in his opinion, if nothing else, Cao Cao should have made a decision soon.

And at this time, the soldier came to him, "Sir, the lord is invited!" ”

"It's hard work!"

Sima Yi smiled, then put down the scroll in his hand and went to see Cao Cao with the soldiers.

After entering the house, Sima Yi saluted Cao Cao, and then nodded slightly to the people on both sides.

Xiahoudun looked at it, and said in his heart that this Sima Yi's appearance was okay, but he didn't know what Lu Dao's ability was. Don't be a person who is strong on the outside and capable in the middle, a person who talks on paper. Don't look at Xiahou Don't be a military general, but there are a lot of people who know the way. And Sima Yi's first impression on him was okay. But it can't change his prejudice against Sima Yi and others.

In Xiahoudun's eyes, since he said that his lord was afraid, then this was his own shame and the shame of the Yanzhou army. And if he Sima Yi was an enemy, he would have gone up and cut him down at this time. But now you can't act rashly, after all, in front of the lord and everyone, if you attack for no reason, then your own reputation will not be in vain.

But Xiahoudun also had to admit that in addition to Sima Yi's appearance, he stood in the middle of the house like this. makes people look at it, and it does have everyone's demeanor. is indeed worthy of being a person from a big family, not only is he sensible and polite, but his behavior is also different from ordinary people. For these, he still has Xiahoudun's eyesight. It's not good for him to have a bad temper. That's right, and sometimes it's impulsive. But he is definitely not a big man. On the contrary, I know a lot of things-

And Cao Cao saw Sima Yi's arrival. Then he said to him, "Virtuous nephew, please sit down!" ”

"Thank you Cao Gong!" Sima Yi sat down.

And Sima Yi called Cao Cao Uncle before, but at this time, although Cao Cao still called him a virtuous nephew, he could no longer call Cao Cao's uncle. How to say it, after all, the people in the house at that time could be said to be Cao Cao's henchmen, and Xu Huang and Guan Yu were the people Cao Cao wanted to accept him. So Cao Cao asked Sima Yi to call himself uncle, and he also intended to let a few people present take a look. I regard you all as my confidants, so in front of my own people, it's nothing to let Sima Yi call him uncle.

However, at this time, the formation has become larger. There are six more people at once, so Sima Yi is really not good at calling Uncle Cao Cao or something, this is actually just a polite remark, and it really doesn't take it too seriously.

At this time, Cao Cao said in his heart that this Sima Yi is more knowledgeable about current affairs, and he is indeed a smart person. And at this time, Cao Cao didn't say anything about Cao Gong being too polite, and he really didn't need to change his name to uncle or something, after all, on such a formal occasion now, it is still important to get down to business.

I only heard him say at this time: "According to the discussion I just discussed with everyone here, the final unanimous decision is to send troops to Hanoi tomorrow to reinforce Huai County!" Virtuous nephew, this is the answer for you, are you still satisfied? ”

Sima Yi laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, if he wanted to say that he still had Feng Wangyi's handwritten letter in his hand, but he didn't take it out before, but it seems that he can't use it now.

However, at this time, he still said: "Thank you Cao Gong, I think if Wang Taishou knows about this matter, I believe that he and the people of Hanoi will remember the great kindness of Cao Gong and the Yanzhou army!" ”

Anyway, no matter how much you say it, it doesn't cost much, so it's really not a big deal to say a few more words. For Sima Yi now, his goal has already been achieved, so he followed Cao Cao. Isn't that what you've agreed to do, then, I'll say hello, and everyone will be happy at this time, isn't that what happened.

And after Cao Cao chatted with Sima Yi for a few words that were not nutritious, before he knew it, it was evening, and he set up a banquet to entertain Sima Yi, and all his subordinates in Luoyang were accompanied. To say that Cao Cao really admired Sima Yi, and during the banquet, he was also on the front side, openly and secretly, and wanted Sima Yi to join his account, but Sima Yi refused.

Sima Yi said simply, "Cao Gong, Yi is still a shallow learner, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take on a heavy responsibility." Although the knowledge is a small achievement now, Yi is ready to travel in the world for several years, and then make other plans, so please Cao Gongcheng! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he could see that Sima Yi's words were true. He glanced at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu closed his eyes, with Cao Cao's understanding of this old fox, he knew that Cheng Yu's action was the same as nodding.

So he smiled and said: "If the virtuous nephew goes, I naturally won't stop it!" It's just that if you want to make a name for yourself in the world in the future, you must come to my Yanzhou Military Department, and the door of my Yanzhou Army is always open for your nephew! ”

Sima Yi also smiled: "Thank you Cao Gong!" Naturally, naturally! ”——

On the second day, Cao Cao was personally outside the city of Luoyang, sending off the Yanzhou army to Hanoi. Of course, he also has the meaning of saying goodbye to Sima Yi. After all, he Sima Yi is definitely a talent. And Cao Cao naturally knows this in his heart, but now this talent is still young, so it will be better if he needs to be honed for some time.

"Cao Gong, farewell!"

Sima Yi arched his hand, then got on his horse and left Luoyang. As for Cao Ren and the others, they had already gotten on the war horses, and a few words were with Sima Yi and left with the troops at the same time.

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi's distant back, and said to Cheng Yu next to him: "He is in the world every day." There must be the name of Sima Yiqi! ”

Cheng Yu didn't say anything, but nodded to his lord. Of course, he also believes so, but Sima Yi is a wolf, and to this day, he still can't let go. It's just that his lord doesn't seem to know anything about it. Looks like I'll have to talk to my lord.

So Cheng Yu didn't care about anything else, so he said directly: "I don't know how the lord feels about Sima Yi's appearance?" ”

Cao Cao listened. What does it look like? He didn't know why Cheng Yu asked this. So he said: "Sima Yi is a dignified person, a talent, and has the demeanor of a child of a big family!" ”

Cheng Yu shook his head slowly, and then said, "I wonder if the Lord of the Dao can know the 'Wolf Gu Zhixiang'?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, what did he say in his heart? Wolves! Of course I've heard of it, but what does this have to do with Sima Yi? Does that mean......

He glanced at Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu nodded slightly, Cao Cao gasped, and at this time he said loudly: "Go home!" ”

So Cao Cao and Cheng Yu returned to the mansion, and Cao Cao let people without his permission. No one is allowed to come in.

After sitting down, Cao Cao asked seriously, "Is Zhongde's words true?" ”

"That's right, the subordinates will never dare to deceive the lord! And yesterday, his subordinates inadvertently discovered Sima Yi's situation, and today he saw that the lord attached so much importance to his people, but his subordinates had to report it to the lord in time! ”

Cheng Yu said, if this is misunderstood by his father-in-law, it will be troublesome. In case his lord thinks that he is jealous of his Sima Yi's attention, then he really "can't wash it when he jumps into the Yellow River".

And Cao Cao smiled at Cheng Yu: "Zhongde thinks too much, how can I not believe you!" You won't lie to me, I know it! It's just that he didn't expect that he Sima Yi was actually a 'wolf Gu Zhixiang', I really didn't expect it! ”

Cao Cao is erudite and knowledgeable, so he really knows some of this "wolf Gu Xiang". But I've heard of it before, and this is the first time I've seen someone like this. Although I couldn't see this "wolf Gu" with my own eyes, as long as I could see him Sima Yi in the future, I would see it with my own eyes sooner or later.

Cao Cao is indeed a little embarrassed at this time, Sima Yi is definitely a talent, but if he defects to himself and works under his account in the future, it may be because of this "wolf Gu Xiang", but he can't reuse his people too much. It can't give them too much military power, or the consequences, it is indeed unimaginable.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and he said to Cheng Yu, "What does Zhongde think?" ”

Cheng Yu naturally saw his lord's embarrassment, so he turned his heart sideways and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, my subordinates have three countermeasures here!" ”

"Oh? I don't know what are the three countermeasures? ”

Seeing that Cheng Yu really wanted to have a good countermeasure, Cao Cao became interested in it immediately.

"Don't hide it from the lord, this first strategy is that the lord doesn't have to care about his people anymore. As for if he really comes to the lord one day in the future, then the lord must not take him in. And he will go to the other princes when the time comes, and as for the final result, then it is not something we can predict. ”

After listening to what Cheng Yu said, Cao Cao felt that this seemed to have nothing to do with him, but in fact it was not. Because the first Sima Yi would be fine if he didn't come to join him, but once he came to join him, he originally said that he would let him come, and said that the gate of the Yanzhou Army was always open for him, so when the time came, it would be small for him to break his promise, and the key was that his people would have a big grudge. With his Sima Yi's "wolf appearance", as well as his talent, he is also afraid of three points.

And his people are going to defect to other princes, and if they want to use their own skills, they will definitely be reused. If you are a strong prince, it is easy to say that you are like your own, but if you are not very good, then it is inevitable that the most difficult will be taken by others. And at the worst, his person may become his own confidant.

Seeing that his lord was thinking at this time, Cheng Yu didn't say much, and after a while, Cao Cao asked, "I don't know what the second strategy is?" ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he replied: "Back to the lord, as for this middle strategy, that is, whether he Sima Yi defects to our army in the future, our army will recruit his people when the time comes, and he must be allowed to do things for our army." Because of this, we can better limit him, let him be under our noses, think so, he can't afford to make too many waves. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he said in his heart that this is the middle policy, and it is not unreasonable to do so. At least there shouldn't be much of a problem when I'm there, but I'm over old now, and he, Sima Yi, hasn't reached twenty yet, so this ......

At least in this case, not only do you have to guard against them, but you also have to be careful with your descendants. (To be continued......)
