Looking at the letter, Sima Yi's face gradually sank.

Sima Shi walked over, looked at the letter, and asked Sima Yi in his mouth, "Father...... Is this Hui'er's letter, and what does the letter say? ”

Sima Yi suddenly closed the letter.

Sima Yi smiled and said: "It's nothing, Nanyang has fallen, this girl is trapped in Nanyang, and she sent a letter to report her safety." ”

"Father, can you show me?" Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi with a look of hope.

Sima Yi's face was expressionless, he crumpled the letter into a ball, looked at Sima Shi and said, "You are already twenty-three years old, and you still haven't achieved anything, do you know why?" ”

Sima Shi's face turned red: "The child doesn't know ......"

Sima Yi snorted coldly, patted the city wall with his palm and said: "Children's private feelings, don't think about these things anymore, there is no room for any distractions on the battlefield, this is not suitable for you, you go back to Luoyang and think clearly." ”

Hearing this, Sima Shi hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Father, please give the child a chance." ”

Sima Yi waved his hand and said: "Father, this is also for your good, if you have distracting thoughts, you can't lead the troops, come here, bring Ziyuan back to Luoyang for me." ”

"Father...... Father ...... "Sima Shi was forcibly taken down by the soldiers, and kept calling Sima Yi's name when he left, not knowing what he was doing wrong.

Glancing at Sima Shi who was taken down, Sima Zhao frowned and said to Sima Yi: "Father, even if Xiahou Hui doesn't have the slightest affection for his brother, there is still a marriage contract after all. Brother just wants to read the letter, you don't need to send your brother back to Luoyang directly, is something wrong? ”

"See for yourself!" Sima Yi handed the paper ball in his hand to Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao took the paper ball and unfolded it to look at it, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils: "This ...... Father ......"

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Is it right to do it for my father? ”

Sima Zhao nodded and said, "Father did the right thing, if this matter is known by his brother, he is only afraid that he will do something impulsive, and it is better to hide it from him."

It's just that I didn't expect Xiahou Hui to make such a big sacrifice for the imperial court, and now Xiahou Hui is lurking beside Liu Chan, she is beautiful and beautiful, but I am afraid that Liu Chan will not be able to resist, and this matter can be mostly done. Father, at this time, you should quickly gather the elite, just wait for the situation in Nanyang to change, and immediately lead the troops south to subdue Nanyang.

If Liu Chan is really dead, there is no owner in Shu, and his son is still young, who else in this world can resist his father? ”

The more Sima Zhao spoke, the more excited he became, as if as soon as Nanyang died, Sima Yi would be able to dominate the world.

"Enough!" Sima Yi snorted coldly, looked at Sima Zhao and said, "Originally, I thought you were a little grown, but I didn't expect you to be the same!" It's just a letter, and you're done? ”

When Sima Zhao heard this, he picked up the letter and read it again, and after reading it for a long time, he said: "Father, I remember Xiahou Hui's handwriting, this is hers." ”

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "What if it's hers?" Sending troops with just one letter? Do you know how heavy a Father's burden is now? ”

Sima Zhao frowned and said: "Xiahou Hui's father is Xiahou Shang, and his mother is Cao Zhen's sister, it can be said that he is a clan in the imperial court, and his father died on the battlefield in his early years, and he died at the hands of Liu Chan, she shouldn't betray the imperial court, right?"

Father, of course, the child will not send troops hastily, but this matter is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, why don't we send a detailed saku to find out? If this matter is in doubt, we will not send troops, and if Xiahou Hui really succeeds, we must not miss the opportunity.

Now that the Shu army has taken south, the next step is to attack Xuchang and Luoyang, if it continues like this, we ........."

Sima Yi was silent for a long time, sighed and said: "This matter is mostly Liu Chan's conspiracy, but it is better to believe it than to believe it, and send someone to find out one or two." ”

Sima Zhao was overjoyed: "The child will send someone to investigate." ”

After Sima Zhao left, Sima Yi looked at the messenger who had sent the letter.

Sima Yi's eyes were like lightning, staring at the messenger and asking, "You and your young lady asked you to send this letter?" ”

"Yes!" The messenger nodded fearfully at Sima Yi, but his expression was not lying.

Sima Yi asked again: "Then how did she sneak into the Taishou Mansion and lurk beside Liu Chan?" ”

The messenger explained: "That day, the wall of Wancheng was broken, and Hu Taishou was ready to fight with the Shu army in the streets, and personally came to pick up the young lady and wanted to send him out of the city, but the young lady did not agree, and Hu Taishou left. We have not seen her since, but after a few days she came back and gave me this letter for me to send to you, General. ”

Sima Yi pondered for a while, and then asked, "Then your young lady is now by Liu Chan's side?" ”

The envoy shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, Miss also came back secretly that day, and the general only needs to send a letter, and nothing else is clear." ”

Sima Yi nodded, patted the messenger's shoulder and said, "I know, you go down, and you will go back to Wancheng tomorrow." ”

On the same day, Sima Zhao sent a group of meticulous workers who were good at finding out information to Wancheng to determine whether the content of Xiahou Hui's letter was true.

Wei State in Wancheng, also has a fine work stationed, after Sima Zhao sent a fine work arrived in Wancheng, it is convenient for the stationed fine work to converge, there is a place to settle.

He stared at the Taishou Mansion for three days in a row, and he didn't have a clue.

Several people gathered together, and said in detail: "This Liu Chan is the emperor in the end, and the place where he lives is heavily guarded, I have been staring at it for three days, and I can't think of entering the mansion at all." Even if we go in, there are more guards in the house, and we can't find out the news. ”

"I've got something on my side!" A fine worker stood up and said: "I am responsible for keeping an eye on the people who enter and leave the Taishou Mansion, and I found that there is a cook in the Taishou Mansion, who is a native of Wancheng, and she has a five-year-old son, who is handed over to the neighbors to take care of during the day, but at night, she has to go home to take care of her son." Let's not threaten her son, and ask what the situation in Taishoufu is? ”

Someone hesitated: "Directly ask someone to interrogate whether it will startle the snake, what if something goes wrong?" ”

The head of the fine work thought for a while and said: "A cook is not enough to startle the snake, let's act tonight." ”

Li Ping is a cook in the Taishou Mansion, after finishing the kitchen of the Taishou Mansion, she returned home, she has a five-year-old child, the father of the early child died of illness, leaving her alone to raise the child.

Fortunately, she was lucky and found a job in Taishou Mansion, and she had a lot of money every month, enough for her to support herself and her children, and she could save some every month.

The child is put at the neighbor's house during the day, and she picks it up at night when she is done.
