When Yuan Shang of Bingzhou and Yuan Tan of Wei County both turned a blind eye to the transit of enemy troops in their territory, a person with a heart finally discovered the secret of this army.

This person is Sima Yi who is staying at home. Sima Yi, whose name is Zhongda, is a native of Wen County, Hanoi. The Sima family is also a famous family, and it has been a high-ranking family for generations. When Dong Zhuo moved westward, Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, was in the court to govern the imperial history and was also among those who moved west. Sima Fang was not optimistic about Dong Zhuo, so he secretly ordered his eldest son Sima Lang to take his family back to his hometown Wen County, but he was denounced. Fortunately, Sima Lang was able to speak well and escaped the catastrophe.

Later, Sima Lang fled back to Wen County with his family, and did not stay long, and heard that the princes of the world were begging for Dong, and he thought that Wen County and Luoyang were only separated by a big river, which was extremely unsafe, so he took his family and villagers and moved to Liyang in Wei County to avoid the war. In fact, Sima Lang was very prescient. Yuan Shao led the army to Hanoi, where he fought with Dong Zhuo repeatedly, and the soldiers and disasters continued, and the people were killed and wounded.

After the war, Sima Lang saw that the world was a little settled, so he moved back to his hometown Wen County, where he taught his brothers and supported his relatives. After Dong Zhuo's death, Chang'an was in turmoil, and Sima Fang, who had not seen well, resigned and returned to his hometown due to illness. didn't stay at home for long, and was taken by Yuan Shao again. Because after Yuan Shao established the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, he found that most of the ministers were in Chang'an, and there could be no one in the Luoyang Imperial Court, which was not good to say, so he arrested Sima Fang Chong.

Because Sima Fang had a lot of resentment towards Yuan Shao, Sima Lang did not come out. As a result, when Cao Cao was the Taishou of Dongjun, he recruited Yan Junjie everywhere, and the people of Liyang, who were only one river away from Dongjun, recommended Sima Lang to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he recruited Sima Lang into Yanzhou. At this time, Sima Lang was in Yanzhou for his third term as a county magistrate. Sima Yi is Sima Fang's second son, he reached the age of being a monk last year, and discussed with his father and brother, feeling that the world is in chaos, and he can't understand it for the time being, so it's better to stay at home and not be out of office first. Sima Yi has few ambitions and often has a heart of worrying about the world. Sima Fang and Sima Lang had always trusted him, and when they saw him choose so, they let him stay at home according to his plan, and handed over all the family property to him to take care of.

The scale of Sima Shijia's industry is not small. Sima Yi took care of the family business at home and got a great exercise. At this moment, a news came from the caravan of the clan, saying that there was an army in Hedong, and the banner looked like Liangzhou people, and the scale was not small, so it went north to Huze and went to Bingzhou.

Sima Yi's heart moved when he heard this, he hibernated at home, but he never ignored the general trend of the world. The movement of soldiers and horses on the ground east of the river reminded him of a rumor. It is said that a while ago, Chang'an was in turmoil, and the princes of Liangzhou attacked each other, and the supreme in Chang'an took the opportunity to run, but was blocked by Yuan Shao under Hangu Pass. Could it be that the soldiers and horses in Hedong are driven by the Son of Heaven? Where are they going to go north and merge with the state?

Thinking of this, Sima Yi's blood couldn't help but boil, and he felt that he seemed to have discovered something very amazing. So Sima Yi hurriedly ordered the caravan in the clan to be mobilized together with the shops scattered throughout Bingzhou and Hedong to find out the details and whereabouts of that army.

The east of the river is adjacent to Hanoi, and soon, the news of the east of the river came first. This army, led by Zhang Xiu and Duan Xuan, was driven by the Son of Heaven and went to Bingzhou together. Hedong Taishou and Bai Bo Marshal did not accompany him.

After a while, the news from the Shangdang side also came, and Lu Bu sent troops from the Yan clan to fight in Changzi County. After failing to win, he returned to the border, joined Zhang Xiujun, and continued north. When I arrived at Zhangshui, I went down the Zhangshui. At this point, no new news came. Sima Yi knew that the family's forces were doing their best, and all they could find out was like this.

However, with these news, Sima Yi has clearly outlined a road map in his heart. Zhang Xiu and Duan Xuan served the Son of Heaven, went north to merge with the state, and then transferred to Zhangshui to enter Wei County, what do they want to do?

No matter what, they definitely didn't go to Yuan Shao. First there was the rejection of Hangu Pass, and then there was the battle of Changzi County, if you want to say that the Son of Heaven still wants to go to Yuan Shao, Sima Yi is the first to believe it. Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao have a grudge, I heard that the two fought in Jingzhou, Cao ** had a strategist and nephew, in view of this, I didn't want to go to Cao Cao. Otherwise, Zhang Xiu would have fallen in Jingzhou as early as possible, so why did he go to the north and then descend?

In this case, their destination is only Qingzhou! What is Yuan Shang of Bingzhou doing, the Son of Heaven of Chang'an ran away under his nose, and he was ignorant?

Sima Yi was very excited after deducing the result, but he was still a young man in his twenties, and the strategy of the city government was far inferior to that of him later. Staying at home and having no half job, he couldn't think of any use after thinking about it for a long time. So he wrote two letters, one to his father and one to his brother. Explain the matter.

Sima Fang received a letter from his second son, and after reading it, he burned the letter quietly. There was no movement in Bingzhou, there was no movement in Wei County, and what Yuan Shao's two sons didn't notice was discovered by themselves, what did Yuan Shao think about himself at that time? Do you think that the Sima family's power is too great to suppress? Sima Fang simply ignored it and pretended not to know anything, which fully embodied the city government and level of an old bureaucrat.

After Sima Lang, who was an official in Yanzhou, got the letter, he frowned and thought about it, and then reported the information to Cao Cao after being fully edited.

The letter didn't say much, but it was said that there were rumors in his hometown that he saw the banners of Zhang Xiu and Duan Xuan in Hedong, and he didn't know whether it was true or false, so he came to report it to the lord. Sima Lang was very clever to hide the actions of the Sima family in it.

When Cao Cao received Sima Lang's letter, he immediately jumped up. The Sima Lang family is a large clan in Hanoi, which is quite influential in the Si Lia area, and the east of the river is next door to Hanoi. Sima Lang's words must not be believed. In this way, Zhang Xiu went to Hedong to join Duan Xuan. However, Duan Xuan has been stationed in Huayin, why did he suddenly appear in Hedong?

This thing is weird, Cao Cao decided to find out about it, so he scattered the details of his subordinates and asked him to investigate carefully and report back. Organized secret spy action, that is not comparable to the Sima family. Soon, information was put on Cao Cao's desk.

After Cao Cao read it, he still didn't understand. After Zhang Xiu was defeated by his own men, he should have gone to Duan Xuan, and then just happened to meet the Son of Heaven to run, and after a fight with Liangzhou Li Dao and Guo Yan, he escorted the Son of Heaven to Hedong with Duan Xuan. Then it connects Lu Bu in the north and Liu Bei in the east. All the armies converged and sent the Son of Heaven back to Qingzhou.

Among them, there seems to be a transparent line, vaguely uniting the forces of all roads. So that they work together and return to the east together. Cao Cao's heart flashed, and a name appeared in his mind, so he sighed: "Jia Wen and the real world wizards, not for me, it's a pity!" ”
