604 Burning Yangtze River (44)
The story of the three men becoming tigers takes place during the Warring States period, and its original meaning is that there were no tigers in the city, and the three people lied that there were tigers in the bazaar, and the listeners believed it. Later generations will use this metaphor to tell a rumor or falsehood, which has been repeated by many people, so that the hearers can believe the truth.
When Zhang Yan heard Sima Yi suddenly ask about the three of them becoming tigers, he immediately understood, and said to Sima Yi: "You can rest assured, this king will never let something like this happen, this king is not King Wei Hui." ”
Sima Yi said: "With His Highness's words, Zhongda is relieved." ”
Zhang Yan said: "You just let it go, the consequences will be borne by this king!" ”
"Whoa!" Sima Yi hugged his fists.
Sima Yi left the county hall with Zhang Yan's promise, and after returning to the room, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart. This time, Zhang Yan led a large army to the south, which was to pacify the entire south and unify the country. And this is also the best time to establish meritorious deeds, Zhang Yan decided to use the strategic plan to carry out the southern expedition, who can rely on this strategic plan to achieve great achievements.
In addition, it is also an opportunity to express oneself to Zhang Yan, such a big credit, who doesn't want to rush to ask for it?
But there are many elites gathered here, and if you want to stand out from them, you must go off the beaten path. Sima Yi saw this point, racked his brains, came up with such a clever plan, and then wrote it into a strategic plan to deal with Jiangdong.
Moreover, Sima Yi figured out Zhang Yan's psychology, Zhang Yan once suffered Zhou Yu's loss in the water war, but Zhang Yan was a person who had to get up where he fell, and the army was tough. It's obvious to all. To attack from land. For him, there is no suspense at all about destroying Jiangdong. But if he can defeat Zhou Yu in the water battle again and completely eliminate the Jiangdong Water Army, maybe he can get comfort in his heart.
Sima Yi is precisely aware of this point in order to prescribe the right medicine. And the strategy he adopted to capture and indulge in the past has also successfully won him a huge honor.
In this southern expedition, Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, personally took command, and the elite soldiers and strong generals were mobilized. In addition to General Wei Xu Chu, who was responsible for protecting the safety of Pengcheng, the rest of the four people among the five tiger generals who were famous all over the world came here, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, which one is not a bull in this era?
In addition, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhang He, Zhou Tai, Pang De, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and others are not generals who fought with a knife and a gun, and they don't know how many people's blood is stained on their hands.
In addition, Jia Xu, Lu Su, Liu Ye, Xu You and others, which one is not scheming, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are very scheming, in short, they are currently under Zhang Yan's hands. None of them are mediocre.
If you want to stand out in such an environment, you don't have to resort to small means. How can that work?
In short, Sima Yi's mood was exceptionally good today, and he couldn't help but start singing loudly.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, this is not false at all, Sima Yi, who had a gloomy face a few days ago, has now become happy.
"My lord, what are you so happy about?" Zhou Yuncong saw Sima Yi like this, so he asked while pouring tea for Sima Yi.
"You'll find out tomorrow." Sima Yi pretended to be a mysterious Tao.
Zhou Yuncong saw that Sima Yi didn't say anything, so he didn't ask again, and stood quietly aside, serving Sima Yi at any time.
It stands to reason that Jingzhou has been attached to Zhang Yan's jurisdiction, and Zhou Yuncong's task should be over, but Zhang Yan did not transfer Zhou Yuncong away, but let Zhou Yuncong continue to stay by Sima Yi's side, but he did not give any task, and it seems that Zhou Yuncong has forgotten about it.
However, only Zhou Yuncong's psychological side understands best, no task, in fact, it is the biggest task, as a brocade guard, that kind of professional sensitivity, so that Zhou Yuncong can almost guess Zhang Yan's intentions. That is to keep him by Sima Yi's side, nominally to continue to work for Sima Yi, but in fact to spy on Sima Yi.
To be honest, Zhang Yan is actually not very at ease with Sima Yi, so there is such an arrangement.
In history, Sima Yi harbored evil intentions, lying on his salary and hiding his courage for so many years, and hibernated in Cao Wei for a long time, and only when those who were able to die did he start to do it slowly, and then devoured Cao Wei's power little by little, and finally let Sima replace Cao Wei and eventually become the biggest winner in the Three Kingdoms period.
So, this person has to guard against it.
But this person is extremely talented, just like a double-edged sword, if you use it well, he is the sword in your hand, which can help you sweep away the haze, and if you don't use it well, it will bite back and hurt yourself.
Zhang Yan should not only use his talent, but also be wary of him, after all, this person is famous in history. Compared with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, they do not have the same ambition as Sima Yi, they can use it boldly with confidence, but Sima Yi is a person, so Zhang Yan's heart has always been very conflicted, he wants to reuse, but he does not dare to reuse it too much, for fear that after Sima Yi gets power, he will cultivate his own power and disobey him.
It's just that Sima Yi didn't know what Zhang Yan thought in his heart, and thought that Zhang Yan deliberately forgot Zhou Yuncong to him, anyway, he also needed someone like Zhou Yuncong by his side, so he simply didn't mention it.
And Sima Yi doesn't even know what kind of person he will become in the future, now he is in his youth, young and vigorous, thinking about serving King Yan, and then doing a vigorous career, in the future, in the history of the biography, he can have a place, famous in history, famous for centuries.
In the county hall of the county government, after Sima Yi left, Zhang Yan carefully read Sima Yi's strategic plan again, and felt a little remorseful psychologically, feeling that Sima Yi's strategic plan was too biased, and he was also worried that Zhou Yu would see through it.
Although Sima Yi is extremely smart and a talented person for a while, at this moment, the three kingdoms are full of talents and heroes, like stars in the sky. And Zhou Yu at this time is precisely the brighter star in the night sky.
Zhou Yu became famous earlier, experienced in a hundred battles, has rich experience in war, and has a keen sense of war, the reason why Jiangdong can still stand until now is inseparable from Zhou Yu's contributions.
Although Zhang Yan's subordinates have such cattle as Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong, at this moment, they are still too young, and their experience in commanding battles is even less. With their current talent, it is impossible for Zhou Yu to be an opponent.
At this moment, Zhang Yan felt that he was a little too risky?
For this reason, Zhang Yan specially found Jia Xu, who was also his teacher and friend, and prepared to tell Jia Xu about Sima Yi's strategic plan, and asked Jia Xu to have an idea.
Jia Xu was summoned by Zhang Yan, and soon came to the county hall, before entering the hall, Zhang Yan saw Jia Xu appear at the door, so he immediately got up, walked towards Jia Xu, directly greeted Jia Xu, grabbed Jia Xu with one hand, and pulled Jia Xu into the hall.
This enthusiasm can only be obtained by Jia Xu, for him, this is a kind of trust, but also a kind of honor.
"You all stand down, this king and Lord Jia have important matters to discuss!" Zhang Yan waved his hand and retreated from the people in the hall, and in the entire hall, there were only two people left, Zhang Yan and Jia Xu.
Jia Xu saw that Zhang Yan was so mysterious, and Zhang Yan's face was a little gloomy, so he took the initiative to ask, "King Yan, is something wrong?" ”
Zhang Yan said: "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes. There are just two people here today, here, there is no King Yan, there is no Youzhou Mu, only me and you, two long-time old friends, how about it? ”
Jia Xu is very smart, he naturally knows what Zhang Yan is talking about, and he also knows the meaning of what he is saying, guessing what Zhang Yan is going to say to him next, it is very likely that he will ask for his opinion, but even if he says the wrong thing, it will be fine, just as an old friend.
"One qiē obey the orders of King Yan." Jia Xu nodded heavily, and at the same time, he was mentally prepared.
At this time, Zhang Yan took out Sima Yi's strategic plan, handed it directly to Jia Xu, and said, "You take a look at this first!" ”
Jia Xu took the strategic plan, opened it, and hurriedly browsed it, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyeballs were immediately attracted by the content of this strategic plan, and he actually read it carefully from beginning to end.
After Jia Xu read it, he gently closed the strategic plan, his brows gradually relaxed, then raised his eyelids, looked at Zhang Yan, and said slowly: "It seems that His Highness has already chosen this strategic plan in his heart, right?" ”
Zhang Yan nodded and asked, "What do you think of this strategic plan?" ”
"Bold enough, novel enough, adventurous enough, mature enough, is a very feasible strategic plan, and the person who can come up with this strategic plan must be a great person, who is either sophisticated or has unparalleled talent." Jia Xu praised this strategic plan, did not hesitate to praise it, and even praised the person who wrote it.
After listening to Jia Xu's praise, Zhang Yan said: "You take a closer look at the end of this strategic plan. ”
Jia Xu moved his eyes to the signature on the payment, but saw that it was written with the words "Jingzhou Thorn Shi Sima Yi himself". It was only then that he knew that this strategic plan was from Sima Yi, and he couldn't help but be surprised that Sima Yi could have such amazing talent.
"I really didn't expect that Sima Yi would have such extraordinary wisdom, I really underestimated him." Jia Xu sighed heavily and said slowly, "Today's young people are so powerful, it seems that my generation is indeed old." However, it is also very good that His Highness can be assisted by such talents. It's just that why is there still a little worry between His Highness's eyebrows? (To be continued......)
