Sima Yi , the name Zhongda , ranking second in the family. It is called the second young master.
"" Jin Shuqinghe " Shangshu Qinghe Cui Yan and the emperor's brother Lang Shan also said to Lang: "Your brother is concise and bright and wise, but just cut off the Intelligence, it is not the only way for the son."
Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang is kind to Qinghe famous Cui Yan. Cui Yan is very disrespectful to his friends and once said, "Your brother's Cong is very much. I think I am far ahead of you! "
The eight sons of the Sima family were called "Bada" at that time. The eldest son Sima Lang was the governor of Yanzhou. He was straightforward and simple in his personality, diligent in internal affairs, and was deeply loved by the people. Cui Yan was even the pure and clear-headed court at that time. He knew people and dared to speak out. Cao Cao respected him very much. Although Cui Yan eventually died because of disobeying Cao Cao, in this quarter, the words of Sima Lang and Cui Yan showed that his evaluation of Sima Yi was extraordinary.
The word "just break" actually tells Sima Yi's strength secret.
Sima Yi fought against the outside world, except for Mengda and expedition to Liaodong . They all win in Ming and decisiveness. As for launching the Gaopingling coup internally, they were even more rapid and ruthless. Regarding Sima Yi’s war strategy, I will talk about it next time. Here we focus on his relationship with Cao Cao and Cao Pi .
"Book of Jin" In the sixth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, the county magistrate was appointed as the chief clerk. Emperor Wu of Wei was Sikong, and he heard about it and refused it. The emperor knew that the Han Dynasty was in a low state, so he did not want to be quarrel to Cao's family, so he refused to be numb and could not live. Wei Wu asked someone to secretly stab him at night, and the emperor lies firmly.
This is an interesting story. Assuming the record is true - because there are indeed some weird and absurd things in "The Book of Jin" - Cao Cao wanted to pronounce Sima Yi as an official, but Sima Yi was unwilling to surrender to Cao. He refused on the grounds that he had suffered a stroke and could not live. Cao Cao sent someone to spy at night. Sima Yi acted very similarly and did not move all night. This trick can be regarded as his special skill. Many years later, he fought with Zhuge Liang and . Sima Yi still followed this unmoving tactic and defended the country.
But Sima Yi has never read " Cao Manchuan ". When Cao Cao was a child, he pretended to have a stroke and grew up. How could he easily believe him?
"Book of Jin" and Wei Wu was the prime minister, and he was also appointed as a literary officer. He ordered the practitioner to say, "If you linger, you will accept it." The emperor was afraid and took office. Therefore, he was sent to the Prince's office and was transferred to the Huangmen Assistant Minister, and transferred to the Minister of the Order and Prime Minister Dong Cao's subordinates, and was transferred to the chief clerk.
Cao Cao later became the prime minister and remembered this guy again. He sent someone to ask Sima Yi to be an official and told him, "If he gives me fake ghosts and monsters, just tie him up!"
So Sima Yi had no choice but to become an official, first accompanying the prince and his sons to study, and later served as the Huangmen Minister, the Minister of the Eastern Cao, and the Prime Minister's Chief Registration Officer; these positions have nothing to do with military affairs, and mainly rely on his knowledge, and Sima Yi gradually showed his wisdom, gained Cao Cao's appreciation, entered the core of power, and served as the Prime Minister's Chief Registration Officer.
Storyteller said this, he really couldn't believe what the Book of Jin said. First of all, since he knew that Sima Yi had resigned from his post by ill and Cao Cao was full of talents. Is it really necessary to force someone to become an official? If he needed to borrow Sima Yi's power, how could he be a small official in the literary lieutenant? If you want to test your abilities, you can ask him to be a small county magistrate first, and you will actually let him be with Cao Pi. Wouldn't that be even more unreasonable?
Compared with the chronology, Cao Cao first approached Sima Yi in 201 AD. As for the next time, it was already 208.
Then another answer emerges.In 201, Cao Cao first won the battle of Guandu, but the situation was still unclear, and a large area of northern land had not yet been settled. As for 208, it was the time when Cao Cao was the most powerful. He became the prime minister and launched a large-scale southern expedition. Liu Biao died of illness, and Liu Cong asked to surrender. The torch of the Red Cliff was only lit in December in winter. The future was bright at this time. But it was so coincidental that Sima Yi was willing to become an official.
The author speculates that Sima Yi resigned for the first time, and as for the second time Cao Cao said he wanted to tie him up, it was mostly a fabricated story. Sima Yi was not sure what his future would be for following Cao Cao. When Cao Cao became the prime minister, it was possible that he would send someone to invite the second son, or the second son would indirectly seek official positions, because the world was already under Cao Cao's control.
Next, it is the public's favorite story. So how did Cao Cao beware of Sima Yi?
"Book of Jin" Wei State was established and moved to the prince's son. Whenever he has a great plan, he always has a strange plan, which is believed by the prince. He is known as the four friends with Chen Qun, , Wu Zhi, , and Zhu Shuo.
It's a pity that Cao Cao was not wary of it.
Cao Cao first became Duke of Wei, and then called King of Wei . Wei State had its own county, which was equivalent to a small court within the Han Dynasty . It was able to set up official positions below the prime minister. At this time, Cao Cao invented an official position for Sima Yi, called "the prince's son".
What does this official do? As before, he still studied with the young master. Cao Cao asked Sima Yi to mingle with the prince and the guests, so Cao Pi and Sima Yi's friendship became deeper and deeper. The two were similar. At this time, Cao Pi was 30 years old and Sima Yi was 38 years old. Every time he planned, the second prince often had amazing plans. Cao Pi also admired and believed in the second prince. Cao Pi is not stupid. For him, Sima Yi was the eldest brother who was with him when he was young. He only wanted to be close and had no idea of doubt at all.
This cannot be blamed on Cao Pi, or even Cao Cao -
Sima Yi has nothing to do with Cao Cao during these days. Don't be wary, there's no need to be wary.
"Book of Jin" discusses Zhang Lu , and says to Wei Wu: " Liu Bei uses deceit to capture Liu Zhang , Shu people have not attached to them and fight for Jiangling. This opportunity cannot be lost. Now, if the Yaowei Hanzhong , Yizhou is shocked, and the advance army will inevitably collapse. Therefore, the momentum is easy to be a skill. The sage cannot violate the time, nor will it lose the time." Wei Wu said: "A man has no enough to get a long one. Right, I want to win Shu again! ”
After Cao Cao successfully conquered Zhang Lu, Sima Yi persuaded: "Liu Bei used a fraud to attack Liu Zhang and seize Yizhou. The people's hearts were not attached. Now he attacked Jiangling again. We should take advantage of this great opportunity to march!"
Cao Cao did not obey. Perhaps he was old, or perhaps he wanted to return to the palace to prepare for his King of Wei. After all, he had been playing the war mode for so long, and now he only wanted to play the simulated city of Wei founding. Cao Cao said the famous saying "I am lofty and look forward to Shu" and it is rare to show a negative side. As for Sima Yi's sincere advice, it seems to be sincere, and is considered for the interests of Wang Ye.
During the "Book of Jin", the capital of the Han emperor, Xuchang, was founded by Wei Wu, who thought he was close to the thief and wanted to move to Hebei. The emperor advised: "The ban and others were destroyed by water, not lost by war and defense, and did not suffer any damage to the national plan, so they moved the capital. Since the enemy was weak, the people of Huai and Mian were very uneasy. Sun Quan . Liu Bei, who was close to others outside and divorced from the inside, was so proud that the lord was unwilling to do so. It can be described as the lord. If you ask the lord to attack the rear, then the bulwark will be resolved." Wei Wu followed it.
Next is the turn of Guan Yu . Guan Yunchang flooded the seven armies, which shocked China, and scared Cao Cao even wanted to move the capital to avoid his attack. However, Sima Yi believed that Yu Jin they were not unable to defeat Guan Yu, but they could not defeat God. This defeat was actually lucky, and there was no need to move the capital to encourage the enemy's prestige.
As a storyteller with Liu School, Sima Yi had to say that this sentence was sharp, but this sentence was still Not the most ruthless, the second young master continued to say a vicious plan: "In my opinion, Sun Quan and Liu Bei's relationship has changed a lot. The more powerful Guan Yu is, the more unhappy Sun Quan is. Now we just need to write a letter, Jiangdong will send troops to stab Guan Yu behind him. Then the siege of Fancheng will be resolved without fighting."
What happened next should be known to everyone. Guan Yun was defeated and left Maicheng, and the Martial Saint returned to heaven. Everything was exactly the same as the second young master's prophecy.
"Book of Jin" Emperor is jealous of the inside but lenient outside, and suspicion is often changed. Emperor Wucha of Wei had a heroic ambition, but heard that there was a wolf looking at him. Want to verify it. He summoned the envoy to move forward, and asked him to look back, facing forward but not moving. I also dreamed that three horses were eating in the same trough, which was very abominable. He said to Prince Pi, "Sima Yi is not a minister, so he must be aware of your family affairs." Prince Su and the emperor were kind to each other and always blessed him, so he was dismissed. The emperor was diligent in his official duties and forgot to sleep at night. As for the grass and pastors, they were all on their way, and Wei Wu was at peace.
"Book of Jin" records that Cao Cao dreamed that three horses had eaten together and began to hate Sima Yi, but every time he wanted to have an attack, Cao Pi would come forward to protect him; in order to let President Cao Cao let go, Sima Yi worked overtime every day, and even did the trivial matters of feeding horses himself, so Cao Cao slowly felt relieved. Is this true of
? I only believe half of these records, especially in the dream. It clearly states that Sima Yi, Sima Shi , Sima Zhao , Sima Zhao , are suspected of eating Cao Wei's world. It is actually a pity that future generations are foolish. The storyteller believes that Cao Cao should have seen his talent and strategy from the historical facts of Sima Yi's suggestion to attack Shu, oppose the capital, and design Guan Yu. As for Emperor Wu of Wei's life, he once doubted Sima Yi, but later he forgot about this matter. This is possible. One is that the second prince is extremely cunning, and the other is that Cao Cao himself is careless. In his later years, he is immersed in the game of the King of Wei and ignored his last opponent in his life.
Related adaptations of the Three Kingdoms were mostly affected by these records, so Cao Cao and Sima Yi were the two actors who performed on the same stage. Cao Cao used the second son while guarding against the second son while Sima Yi was loyal to Cao Cao and flattered him in front of Cao Pi, which became a classic plot. However, there were no traces in history. If Emperor Wu of Wei was really wary, he would not have let Sima Yi serve the prince Cao Pi for a long time.
As for the appearance of the wolf and the dream of the three horses, it is just like the embellishment of the Book of Jin. Let more materials be available when future generations shoot dramas.
At that time, Cao Wei was considered a stable regime and had a power. Sima Yi might not have had any intention of annexing the foundation. Observing the opportunity of his choice to be an official and his actions with Cao Cao and his son can also be explained as a stable position. As long as he could assist Cao Pi as an emperor, his plan would be considered a great achievement. As Cao Pi's beloved general, the second young master would definitely live a prosperous and smooth second half of his life. What changes will not be expected.
Of course, from the perspective of conspiracy theory, it is also a very interesting interpretation to think that all this was within Sima Yi's expectations from beginning to end; but I tend to believe that just like Cao Cao might not have the intention to be usurpant when he first promoted the righteous army to help the world, and Sima Yi was the same. His ambition was raised step by step. In the end, the two keys that made him make up his mind were: Cao Pi's complete trust in him, and the other was the problem of Cao Shuang's own later, so he took advantage of the situation.
"Book of Jin" issued an edict to the emperor: "I am in the east, and the army is in the west; I am in the west, and the army is in the east." So the emperor stayed to the town of Xuchang. When the emperor was ill, the emperor, Cao Zhen, Chen Qun and others, met in the southern hall of Chonghua Hall and were ordered to assist in the government. The prince ordered the prince to say, "If there are these three princes, be careful not to doubt them."”
Cao Pi said, "If I go east, I will hand it over to Zhongda in the west; if I go west, I will hand it over to Zhongda in the east." It can be seen that the love between these long-distance couples is profound.
Before his death, Cao Pi entrusted Cao Rui to three important officials, Cao Zhen, Chen Qun and Sima Yi. It was not a big deal for him to be in love. He told his son Cao Rui not to change his mind: "No matter who tries to alienate or speaks bad things about these three people, you must not doubt their loyalty." The end of the story, I believe everyone will not help but want to complain: You doubt the one who can turn 180 degrees with your neck!
History continues to turn, and after Cao Pi's death, the road ahead of Sima Yi seems to be becoming clearer and clearer - as for Sima Yi's martial arts and coup, I will talk about it next time.
