610 Burning Yangtze River (50)
In the hall of the county government, Zhang Yan could not send another wave of officials who came to impeach Sima Yi, and Shen Bao, the deputy general of the former general Tai Shici, had something important to see.
So, Zhang Yan had to meet Shen Bao again. But this time, it was very different, as soon as Shen Bao came in from outside, he immediately knelt on the ground, and then asked Zhang Yan to make the decision for him.
After some questioning, Zhang Yan learned that Sima Yi had arrested Tai Shici.
"It's too much!" As soon as Zhang Yan heard Shen Bao's words, he said angrily, "What does this Sima Yi want to do?" This king trusts him so much and appoints him as the general of Pingnan, but he didn't let him come nonsense! β
When Shen Bao saw that Zhang Yan was angry, he immediately added fuel and vinegar, and told him in detail how Sima Yi arrested Tai Shici.
However, in many of these places, Shen Bao was exaggerated, otherwise, he would not be able to provoke Zhang Yan, and he would not be able to severely punish Sima Yi.
After Zhang Yan listened, he blew his beard and glared at him, and said to Shen Bao: "This king knows what you said, and this king will send someone to find out about it, if it is really Sima Yi's fault, this king will definitely punish him severely." Go back and wait for good news in the barracks! β
"Whoa!" Shen Bao didn't think much about it, and after getting Zhang Yan's words, he immediately walked out of the hall, his whole face was still filled with a trace of joy, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Sima Yi, I'll see how you end this time!" β
After Sima Yi finished moving the navy, he stretched out his hand to the army, and directly aimed at the former general Tai Shici at the beginning, is this knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, or killing the chicken and setting an example for the monkey?
Although Zhang Yan knew Sima Yi's plan early on. But he never expected Sima Yi's movements to be so fast. From the moment Sima Yi was appointed as the general of Pingnan. Until now, it was only half a month, Sima Yi scolded Huang Zhong, removed Huang Zhong from his military position, and deposed many generals of the navy, and then promoted a group of people to fill the vacancies, carried out a large-scale rectification of the navy, and through guΓ² military training, selected an elite army composed of 3,000 people. He only obeyed his own orders, and also formulated a series of more stringent military rules and regulations.
Zhang Yan knew this series of actions and knew everything about them, but he thought that Sima Yi's behavior of rectifying military discipline would be limited to the navy, but he never expected that Sima Yi would also extend his hand to the army.
The army is Zhang Yan's main army, and the reason why he dared to hand over the navy to Sima Yi before was because most of the navy troops were surrendered from Jingzhou, and the combat effectiveness of the navy army was indeed not so bad. There are also advantages and disadvantages to handing it over to him to straighten things out. But. This time, Sima Yi's hand was stretched too long, and he had never reported to him beforehand, so he directly stretched out his hand, and if it was anyone, no matter who it was, he would definitely be angry.
Zhang Yan is also a person, he also has seven emotions and six desires, as well as joys, sorrows, and sorrows, so he is no exception, very angry.
"Let Sima Yi come to see me immediately!" After Shen Bao left, Zhang Yan ordered angrily.
At this moment, Sima Yi was taking Tai Shi Ci to the camp of the Jingzhou Navy Army, and directly put Tai Shi Ci in the cell of the Navy Barracks, and let people strictly guard him.
What kind of person is Tai Shici, one of the five tiger generals under the account of Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, with great military achievements and a loud reputation, and there are countless people who know him, including many soldiers in the navy.
Sima Yi took Tai Shi Ci into the water army camp with a swagger, and the soldiers were very curious, at first they thought that Tai Shi Ci was here as a guest, but after a closer look, they felt that something was wrong. Sima Yi rode a horse, Tai Shici was tied with his hands, and under the escort of a group of soldiers, he entered the water army camp.
How could a dignified former general, one of the former Five Tiger Generals, become like this?
The soldiers then speculated, and there were different opinions, some said that Tai Shi Ci might have committed something and was arrested, and some said that Sima Yi was too awesome, and even Tai Shi Ci dared to arrest him.
Just when everyone was guessing what was going on, a Jinyi guard rode a fast horse and rushed into the water army camp, and the soldiers guarding the door saw the Jinyi guard visiting, they didn't dare to stop it, and directly gave way to a way.
Jinyi Wei rode a fast horse and rushed directly to the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as he jumped off his horse, he shouted at the people guarding the door of the big tent: "Where is Sima Yi, the general of Pingnan?" β
Jin Yiwei has always been a maverick, only obeying the orders of Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, alone, and he doesn't need to look at anyone's face when he does things, so when he does things, he has always been extremely domineering, because of this, as long as he meets Jin Yiwei, everyone avoids it, for fear of getting into trouble.
Jin Yiwei called Sima Yi's name, his face was cold, his expression was solemn, and his gaze was extremely fierce, which made people daunting.
"General...... The general is in a cell......"
"Where's the cell?" Jin Yiwei asked directly.
"Over there!" The soldier pointed to a place.
Jinyiwei turned over and jumped on horseback, rode directly on a war horse, galloping in the barracks, and no one dared to ask when everyone saw their outfits.
Not long after, Jin Yiwei came to the location of the cell, just arrived here, he saw Sima Yi come out of the cell, without waiting for Jin Yiwei to speak, Sima Yi walked straight over, respectfully arched his hand and said: "The envoy came in person, there must be something important, could it be that His Royal Highness King Yan summoned the lower officials?" β
Jin Yiwei nodded, and said in his heart that this Sima Yi is really smart enough.
Sima Yi said: "Please go back and tell His Royal Highness King Yan first, and say that I will be there in a while." β
Jin Yiwei turned the horse's head, turned around and left, not much nonsense, coming and going in a hurry.
Jin Yiwei returned to the county hall and told Zhang Yan a qiΔ, and Zhang Yan waved his hand and let Jin Yiwei go down.
Not long after, people reported that Sima Yi, the general of Pingnan, had arrived, and Zhang Yan asked people to invite Sima Yi to the hall.
This meeting was the first official meeting with Zhang Yan since Sima Yi was appointed as the general of Pingnan.
After Sima Yi entered the hall, he immediately bowed respectfully to Zhang Yanxing, and said loudly: "Weichen see His Royal Highness King Yan!" β
Zhang Yan raised his hand. motioned for Sima Yi to stand up. Then he motioned for Sima Yi to sit down with his eyes.
Sima Yi stood in place. Motionless, he clenched his fists again and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan, I don't know why I summoned Weichen so urgently?" β
"I heard that you arrested Tai Shici?" Zhang Yan asked lightly.
"It does." Sima Yi replied.
"Why did you arrest him? Is it the same as scolding Huang Zhong with a cane, and asking Tai Shici to scold with a cane to show your majesty? Zhang Yan asked.
Sima Yi said: "His Royal Highness King Qiyan, now the Navy and Weichen have basically been rectified. In just over ten days, the factional disputes within the navy army were cleared in one fell swoop, making the navy unite as one. However, the problems in the army are not limited to the navy, in contrast, the situation in the army is even more severe, as Wei Chen said when he presented the Pingnan strategic plan to His Royal Highness, there are many contradictions within the army, if you don't want to find a way to eliminate these contradictions. When the war comes, there will definitely be some negative effects. β
Zhang Yan said: "This king knows the existence of these problems. This king is not asking you this, this king means that before you arrested Tai Shici, why didn't you report to this king first, and then act with the permission of this king? β
Sima Yi said: "His Royal Highness appointed Weichen as the general of Pingnan, saying that Weichen is responsible for everything, unless he asks His Highness for orders in the event of war, and Weichen can make his own decisions in other matters......"
"Forehead......" Zhang Yan seemed to have eaten a closed door, but he was gagged by Sima Yi's words, and he couldn't answer. In the past half a month, almost every day, people have come to impeach Sima Yi and say bad things about Sima Yi, but they have been blocked by Zhang Yan.
But over time, Zhang Yan will also be affected by some influences, at first the firm belief in his heart, now it has begun to become a little shaken, some people say that Sima Yi is taking the opportunity to seize power, want to develop his own power, and Sima Yi is a famous figure in history, his old treacherous Cheng dΓΉ is very amazing. Therefore, Zhang Yan inevitably thought more and began to suspect Sima Yi.
But today, Sima Yi suddenly attacked Tai Shi Ci without his permission, which made Zhang Yan unacceptable, Tai Shi Ci is his descendant general, and he is also a former general of the Han Dynasty.
If this thing gets out, how will his face be saved in the future?
However, at this moment, Sima Yi's words immediately woke him up, and when Sima Yi accepted this task, he once told Zhang Yan the story of the three of them becoming tigers, so as to warn Zhang Yan that he must stabilize his position. And he also gave Sima Yi great power, the purpose was to make it easier for Sima Yi to do things.
Looking back now, he seems to be wavering, if he hadn't met with Sima Yi today, in a few days, if Sima Yi attacked the army one after another and began to rectify the army, he would definitely not be able to bear it, slap Sima Yi over, and abandon it.
At this time, the prison guard Jia Xu walked in from the outside, saw Zhang Yan summoning Sima Yi, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Zhang Yan.
Jia Xu hurriedly turned around and said to Zhang Yan respectfully: "What does Your Highness command?" β
Zhang Yan said: "You stay, I have something to discuss with you." β
"Whoa!" Jia Xu said.
Then, Zhang Yan said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, you go and go about your business, it's just that you don't go too far in anything, so as not to anger the soldiers and cause a mutiny." Tai Shi Ci is a veteran general in the army, and he was once one of the five tiger generals under the king's account, so he must be a little measured in his work. β
"Whoa!" Sima Yi said.
"In addition, if you do anything in the future, you must send someone to inform the king in advance, and then act after getting permission, otherwise the king will have no bottom in his heart, and he will inevitably think crankily."
"Whoa!"
"Go ahead."
"Wechen retires!"
Sima Yi slowly withdrew from the hall, and after Zhang Yan saw Sima Yi walking away, he said to Jia Xu: "Have you heard about Tai Shici?" β
"Weichen just heard about it, so he hurriedly came to His Highness."
"Why are you looking for me?" Zhang Yan asked.
Jia Xu said: "Wechen is worried that His Highness is not strong-willed, in case ...... So Weichen came over to remind His Highness, but when he heard what His Highness said to Sima Yi just now, Weichen was relieved. β
Zhang Yan sighed heavily and said, "Alas, it is only now that this king understands that the saddest level is himself!" β
"If Your Highness's mind is shaken at all, our plans will be in vain. Although Sima Yi looks arrogant and domineering now, this qiΔ is all for others to see. Next, His Highness's reputation may be tested, and this is the most difficult thing for His Highness. Perhaps, many people don't understand why His Highness supports Sima Yi so much, and maybe there are people who abuse His Highness, but please rest assured, this qiΔ is only temporary, and when Jiangdong is pacified and the Sun clan is destroyed, Weichen believes that many generals and officials will wake up. Jia Xu said.
Zhang Yan said: "It's good to have you by my side, you can remind me from time to time, like a mirror, you can reflect another side of me and persuade me." β
After Jia Xu heard this, he was very moved and said: "As long as His Highness is willing, Weichen is willing to be the mirror of His Highness for the rest of his life!" β
As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, and they were all silent. (To be continued......)
