When it comes to the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yi cannot be ignored. Without this old man, there would not be a Jin Dynasty in Chinese history, and Li Bai would not have written the sentence "The clothes and hats of the Jin Dynasty became ancient hills."
In the minds of many people, as long as the glorious image of Zhuge Liang appears, the villain of Sima Yi will definitely appear. In most people's dictionaries, Zhuge Liang is connected with "resourcefulness", while Sima Yi is mixed with "insidious and cunning".
It can be said that his becoming a bad actor in the minds of many people is entirely the reason why Luo Guanzhong made him the main opponent of Kong Ming.
Of course, if we are objectively speaking, no one can tell whether he is a bad person or not. However, there is one thing that everyone has the same view: he is a very smart person.
In that world of chaos and chaos, having a smart head is the greatest capital, or it can be said that at that time, smart is the primary productivity.
As a politician in the Three Kingdoms era, he inevitably has many enemies. Many people only regard Zhuge Liang as his chief enemy, but I believe that his number one opponent is not Kong Ming.
In his mind, the NO1 enemy must be Comrade Lao Cao.
Let’s first take a look at the relationship between Sima Yi and Comrade Lao Cao.
First of all, his relationship with Lao Cao is the relationship between the employee and the boss.
In fact, his relationship with Lao Cao is also a potential opponent.
He was twenty-nine years old when he became an employee of Lao Cao Company.
He is a young man from a noble family. His ancestor was a hero in the early Han Dynasty. He was named Sima Yang. He had a revolution with Liu Bang and belonged to the older generation of revolutionaries in the Han Dynasty. Afterwards, the descendants of the Sima family all served as senior employees of the Han Dynasty for generations, received wages from the Han Dynasty, and did a very smooth job, without any political mistakes of standing in the wrong team or showing wrong attitudes. The role of the aristocratic family was huge at that time. At that time, we were very particular about our background. Look at Liu Bei, he was a small businessman who ran away from the city management when he saw the street stall. Later, he had to make himself a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. It is unknown how capable this guy is to make straw sandals, but this story is well-written. Let’s take a look at the ministers’ advice when Liu Bei became emperor later. Who was the leader in the ministers’ advice? It's a classmate Ma Chao and . Ma Chao was definitely not the most vocal person in Liu Bei's circle at that time, but because his background was the best among Liu Bei's mascots, his name was at the forefront, and other Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and other actually the most awesome people could only follow him. At that time, I had a good life experience, and it was similar to having a good father now.
Sima did not make political mistakes, but the top leaders of the Han Dynasty kept making mistakes of one kind or another, and eventually made the Han Dynasty's world messy like a 18-treasure porridge.
For most people, when the world is peaceful, you can still drink porridge to live. When the world is in chaos, you may not even be able to drink porridge, and maybe you will have to save your life. Those idioms such as "family destruction and death" and "family separation and separation" are the most commonly used in chaos in the world. However, for some people, the chaos in the world is their best opportunity to make a fortune, and this is the best time for them to step onto the stage of history. Most of these people have the character of "fighting endless joy with the sky, fighting the earth, and fighting the people". If it weren't for the chaos in the world, Sima Yi might have to treat that nobleman until the end of his previous generations of ancestors. If he could get a senior official and could spend the money of a local taxpayer independently, it would be OK. But when the world is in chaos, the opportunity to make a fortune is towards him.
His IQ is not as good as Zhuge Liang, and his situation is similar to Zhuge Liang's. The boss went to invite him a few times before he came out lazy. However, Zhuge Liang made a lot of money when he came out, but he almost lost his life.
Zhuge Liang was invited by Liu Bei, saying that "all three times will be seen." He went there three times before he could see him.After meeting, Zhuge Liang pulled the topic apart. After most of the day, his mother-in-law and mother helped Liu Bei, who was so poor that he was almost selling shorts, plan a grand blueprint, which made Liu Bei, who had a particularly developed tear gland, burst into tears. The relationship between the two was immediately like a fish in water. From this point of view, Zhuge Liang was active in coming out of the mountain and had made full preparations. After the straw sandal uncle came to perform the "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage", he then made a declaration of coming out (i.e. Longzhong is right - if he is not prepared, can he be Longzhong right?).
Sima Yi's mortal enemy is Liu Bei's mortal enemy Cao Cao - this is destined to become Zhuge Liang's mortal enemy. Cao Cao was also a boss who loved talents at that time, but his family was richer than Liu Bei. Unlike Liu Bei, he had no chance to eat big pieces of meat and drink with wine, except for , Guan Yu, , Zhang Fei, who could eat big pieces of meat and drink big bowls, and he had to "personally" do anything. Cao Cao had many horsemen, so he only sent an errand runner to invite Comrade Sima Yi to come out and hang out with him.
Unexpectedly, Sima Yi was not Zhuge Liang, so he came out as soon as he asked.
Sima Yi was an angry young man who loved the party and the country, and he still had some feelings for the Han emperor. At that time, he was a little disliked by Cao Cao's behavior, and he looked down on Cao Cao as a descendant of a eunuch. In addition, the situation was unclear and he was afraid of standing in the wrong team and joining the wrong party. That was not a joke. Therefore, when Cao Cao asked him to come out to be a civil servant, he refused to be a classmate.
He said that he had a stroke and could not get up. He could not go to work in a wheelchair every day, right?
Cao Cao heard this and said, "Damn it!" How old are you? Was he suffering from a stroke and paralysis? Who are you lying to you? The deceiving skills are a bit valuable. Don’t learn from Zhou Laohu’s style. Even the people of the whole country don’t believe it will be exhibited in front of me.
Cao Cao was very upset, so he sent a plainclothes to scout in the middle of the night to see if you have a stroke, you can still play a plot with your wife or not.
I don’t know if it was because the plainclothes of Cao Cao’s school were too unprofessional and exposed their strength, or if Sima Yi had the foresight and knew that Cao was going to send someone to reconnaissance in the middle of the night, so he lie on the bed and "live firmly" and slept straight and sat down. It is said that the detective stabbed Sima Yi's body with a needle, but Sima Yi was still "stubborn and unable to move" with no expression on his face. If you look at the word "心" and you will know how realistic Sima Yi was at that time - his whole body is a replica of the vegetative human being. His art of performing strokes is probably comparable to Uncle Zhao Benshan, and I guess Uncle Zhao cannot achieve this tolerance.
Cao Cao saw that he was like this, so TNND let you go first.
But Cao Cao could not let him go in the end.
Cao Cao knew that this guy was a talent. If he was asked to run to the enemy's camp, he would only cause trouble for himself. Therefore, after he became the prime minister, he sent someone to call Sima Yi out. This time, Lao Cao's official position is so powerful that he has no reason to speak. He will not give you any reason. The person who went to invite Sima Yi directly recited Cao Cao's quotation to Sima Yi: "If you linger, you will accept it." Humph, you are still shy, so I will arrest you and then deal with you.
Sima Yi heard this and knew that if he had a stroke, the possibility of his head moving would be too high. In order to keep this head, he had to report to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao gave him the position of "Literary Officer" (this officer means supervisor), an employee in charge of the Prime Minister's Office's documents and education, and also asked him to work with Cao Pi .
Sima Yi started his political career at this time.
This year was the thirteenth year of Jian'an, and Sima Yi was twenty-nine years old.
It should be said that during the entire Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao and Liu Bei had a good view of people.
Cao Cao soon knew that Sima Yi was not simple. While he discovered that Sima Yi was a talented man with the talent of Wang Zuo, he also found that he was an ambitious guy. Cao Cao once gave him very bad comments. Lao Cao's original words back then were: "Sima Yi is not a minister, you must be aware of your family affairs."
Think about it, saying such words "non-member" from Cao Cao's mouth means that it is already very serious.How serious? It was so serious that Cao Cao could find an excuse to make Sima Ku, and it was not difficult for Cao Cao to find an excuse.
He said this to Cao Pi.
The purpose of his words was to ask Cao Pi to beware of this guy and be careful that this guy would ruin the Cao family's world in the future. Although Cao Cao was not addicted to the emperor at that time, he believed that his son would become the emperor. So I would like to remind his son.
Although Lao Cao saw through Sima Yi, he did not practice the important work of "I would rather teach me to let the world down" in this matter, but just gave his son a serious thought. Maybe he thought he had already spoken seriously, and his son should have done his words seriously. I guess it must be Lao Cao that time he just wanted to be a good person and not be an executioner who forced talents to death. Just like he didn't want to be the emperor and asked his son to be the emperor, he asked his son to kill Sima Yi. Because Cao Cao knew that Sima Yi's head was very useful, that is to say, this guy's software was very powerful, but he did not command Sima Yi's gun. No matter how powerful Sima Yi's software was, without the hardware of the gun, any of his sons could play with Sima Yi.
Who knows that sometimes fathers don’t see so thoroughly when they see their son. Cao Cao even didn't expect that sometimes software is a Trojan horse that can slowly enter your system and ultimately control your hardware.
Maybe it was Cao Pi, a kid who reviewed his father's words after drinking or in a dream, so that Sima Yi could hear it, or Sima Yi was a very smart person. From the eyes of Lao Cao looking at him, he knew that Lao Cao was not at ease with him, so he was very cautious.
Sima Yi's intelligence is not as smart as others. If someone else knows that the boss has this idea, he or she will either try her best to curry favor with the boss all day long, confess his love every day, or even dance the "loyalty" dance at any time, indicating that he or she is as pure as a child, or she or she will quickly change jobs and leave the company. But Sima Yi knew that the world is the world of the Cao family. The Cao family is "there are two of the three parts of the world". Liu Bei and Sun Quan are just a piece of land that is as big as a palm. If you have a little bit of strength, sooner or later you will be completely collapsed by the Cao family and then shut down. Therefore, only SB personnel will jump to these two companies. He can't just copy the boss's squid because of this. Once you slapped your butt like this, Lao Cao would even suspect that you had other ideas, but he would have cut off your head before your butt was slapped. Otherwise, you can learn from Sun Bin, pretend to be a madman and a fool, treat the pig and cow pen as your mansion every day, and treat the pig and cow excrement as the Manchu and Han mat, and eat it loudly. In this way, Cao Cao will definitely not do anything to you.
But can Sima Yi do this?
Sima Yi neither changed jobs nor laid off, nor did he learn from Sun Bin, but continued to be an employee of the Cao family. He seemed to have nothing to do, and he was specifically close to Xiao Cao.
He must have made a brief argument for this, and he must have made a "feasibility report on the pursuit of resignation to Cao Pi to strive for a great cause." In the feasibility report, he certainly believed that he would not be able to play Cao Cao in his life, but it was not difficult to play Cao Cao's descendants.
In fact, his strategy of avoiding the strong and weak is very successful.
At that time, Cao Pi was competing with his younger brother for the position of successor and needed the help of a sinister talent like Sima Yi. Therefore, the two quickly became good friends. Although historical books say that Liu Bei gets Zhuge Liang like a fish in water, in fact, the relationship between Cao Pi and Sima Yi is the real relationship between fish and water.
Cao Cao could not have imagined that he had reminded Cao Pi to be wary of Sima Yi, but later he was persuaded by Cao Pi. Cao Cao often wanted to find reasons to rectify Sima Yi, but Cao Pi forced himself to protect the Cao family's gravedigger. Of course, Sima Yi also knew that Cao Cao wanted to do his moves. He knew that it was easy for Cao Cao to kill him to be like a fart. Therefore, while working hard under Cao Pi's protection, he was a human being with his tail in front of Cao Cao.
The Book of Jin says that during this period, he was "diligent in official duties and forgot to sleep at night. As for the grass and herds, they were all on the road, and as a result, Wei Wu was willing to do it" - even the matter of mowing grass and feeding cattle and horses was willing to carry the oil lamp to do it himself. When Cao Cao saw him like a cowherd, his doubts disappeared bit by bit.
However, he not only had his tail between his side, but also came out to contribute his mental labor at the right time, but also came out at critical moments. I guess that he did this to let Cao Cao, especially Cao Pi, know his existence. Otherwise, if you only eat idle food there, you will not be able to make a fuss in three days, Cao Cao would definitely suspect that he was ambushing him, and Cao Pi would think he was useless. Once Cao Cao doubted, he could do anything; once Cao Pi felt that he was useless, his protective umbrella was gone.
So, he must perform and be different. Only in this way can he survive under Cao Cao's nose and lay a good foundation in the future.
When Sima Yi first entered Cao's camp, he probably had no ambitions, but he saw that Cao Cao also grew from an angry young man to a warlord step by step, and then to a prime minister who didn't even take the emperor seriously - Cao Cao could do this, why could he not do this? Didn’t it mean that the king, prince, and generals had a sect? He felt that compared with Cao Cao, he was no less inferior to this Ah Meng. Although he could not write a poem like "Wine is a song, life is a geometry", his ability to write a "geometry of life" does not mean that he cannot count as the geometric problem of life.
He is better than anyone else.
Through his own efforts, he slowly laid the foundation for future development.
When he was an employee under Cao Cao, he kept expressing his views on the boss at the right time, and was adopted by Cao Cao many times.
is the most famous issue of moving the capital.
At that time, Cao Cao's capital was in Xuchang.
In the 20th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei's brother Guan Yu had the courage to attack Xiangfan without knowing where he got it.
The person guarding Xiangfan was Cao Cao's clan's brother Cao Ren . Guan Yu was so angry that he shrank into the city. Cao Cao sent Yu Jin to lead seven troops to support him. Unexpectedly, Yu Jin was even more unlucky. Before he fought a few battles, he rushed the flood and even became Guan Yu's prisoner. Deputy General Pang De fell into the water. He did not turn into a fast food for fish and shrimps, but became Guan Yu's sword ghost. Yu Jin's seven supporters not only could not save Cao Ren, but instead pushed Comrade Guan Yu's career to a climax and attacked Cao Ren even more urgently.
When Cao Ren was shaking, people in Xuchang City became panic. Even Cao Cao felt that Guan Yu would immediately break through Xiangfan and came to Xuchang with a big sword. Therefore, many people advised Cao Cao to move the capital and avoid Guan Yu's edge. Cao Cao was also a little moved.
Sima Yi believes that it is not appropriate to move the capital. He said, we can't stop Guan Yu, but we can let Sun Quan come.
When Cao Cao heard this, he said, "Fuck me, it makes sense." Send an email to Sun Quan immediately.
Sun Quan had long been eyeing Jingzhou , and he always wanted to put Jingzhou into the territory of Eastern Wu, but he was afraid of Guan Yu's greatness and could not find a chance. Finally, Guan Yu took all his belongings to attack Cao Cao. After discussing with several close friends for more than a day, he sent Lu Meng to capture Guan Yu's nest. Guan Yu had to return. Not only could he not save the nest, but he staged a big drama of running away from Maicheng and was captured by the Eastern Wu soldiers.
In this way, Xu Du has another harmonious and prosperous era, and the ending of the process is the same as Sima Yi's budget.
Sima Yi is definitely a master who seizes opportunities. He knew that although Cao Cao was not so wary of him, the most famous feature of Lao Cao was his suspicion. Therefore, he was by Cao Cao's side, always keeping his old eyes open, waiting for a wonderful opportunity to make Cao Cao feel completely at ease with him.
The opportunity has finally come.
This opportunity was made by Sun Quan for him.
Sun Quan was just saddened by Cao Cao because of friction between the two forces. He felt very unhappy, so he pretended to be B in the south and passed through the rolling Yangtze River to write a letter to Comrade Cao Cao, saying, Comrade Cao, I can't beat you anymore, I surrender to you. Now no one in the world is your opponent, you can put your butt on the chair of Emperor Xian of Han.
After receiving the letter, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Damn this guy, I want to put me on the stove and be a Beijing roast duck."
When others see Lao Cao criticizing Sun Quan like this, they will definitely say that the boss is wise and can see through the tricks of the class enemy at a glance.
But Sima Yi is not someone else, but he said to Cao Cao: "The Han Dynasty is over, and your highness has nine of them in the world, so he serves him. The power of the people is the will of heaven and man. Yu, Xia, Yin, and Zhou do not give in to humility, fear the heaven and know their destiny."
Cao Cao glanced at Sima Yi and saw him with sincerity when he said this, as if he was as sincere as his son to his father. From then on, I no longer had such an objection to Sima Yi.
Cao Cao was so proud at this time. He completely forgot that Sima Yi was a performing artist.
Sima Yi didn't secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart until this time. I think the safety factor of this head is a little higher.
Think about it, can you survive without extraordinary scheming when working under such a boss every day? As for Zhuge Liang, although he was his enemy, he was far away in the Sichuan Basin. No matter how hard he sharpened his knife, he would not kill Zhongyuan for a moment and take his head. When Cao Cao wants to kill him, he kills him if he wants to. In this regard, it is better to say that he is a chicken or a duck in Cao's cage than an employee.
I dare to assert that if God wanted him to be between Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao, who would choose who died first, he would definitely choose Cao Cao without saying a word.
Of course, he can't kill Cao Cao, but he can wait and kill Cao Cao. Sima Yi was indeed lucky in this regard. Not only did he wait for Cao Cao to die, but Zhuge Liang was also waited for him to die.
When Cao Cao died, he was already forty years old.
The day when Cao Cao swallowed his last breath with difficulty, Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Damn! I finally got through!"
He had been withered for eleven years.
When Cao Cao was there, Sima Yi was always low-key from beginning to end. On the day when Lao Cao was braiding his hair, Sima Yi showed his skills.
At that time, a group of employees under Cao Cao heard that his beloved boss had gone to see Marx, and they didn't know what to do. They looked at Cao Pi again, with a pink face. Although his articles were sophisticated, the head of the company was not writing articles. Especially now, it was a critical moment for internal and external troubles. The first generation of leaders passed away. Not to mention, the two hostile forces, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, were ready to fight, and even those who dissidents inside also had the possibility of usurping the party and seizing power. Therefore, when Cao Cao died, people in Cao's camp were panic, and there were many people who were worried about how long the red flag could be beaten. Sima Yi seized this opportunity again. While everyone was watching with rookies, he came out to take charge of the overall situation. According to the procedures, he handled the funeral of Lao Cao in a well-like manner, which made the faces of the rookies in Cao's camp regain blood. Then he brought Cao Cao's coffin to the country and helped Cao Pi overcome the difficulties.
Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief.
The entire Cao camp also breathed a sigh of relief.
By this time, they all knew that it was not easy to breathe a sigh of relief. They knew even more that the one who made them feel relieved was Comrade Sima Zhongda .
However, Sima Yi was really relieved. As soon as Cao Cao died, Sima Yi knew that he could survive safely. Over the years, he helped Cao Pi to make many conspiracies, which eventually led to Cao Pi's advantage in the battle of exile, and then helped Cao Pi stabilize his position in an extraordinary period. Cao Pi was only grateful to him. His intimate relationship with Cao Pi has gone to a higher level, and the relationship between them is truly "like a fish with water".
Sima Yi was forty years old at this time. He can no longer be a human being with his tail between his legs.
When Lao Cao moved this big stone, Sima Yi rebounded like a long-term high-pressure spring, strode to the stage of history and sang his main role.
As soon as Cao Cao died, Cao Pi asked Emperor Xian of Han to "abdicate". This "abdication" is exactly the same as the "donation" of cadres and employees today. The following document says it is a donation, but in fact it is deducted from the salary long ago, and you have to donate if you donate. The same is true for Emperor Xian of Han. If you don’t meditate, you have to give in. If you abdicate, you can still be a "Shanyang Gong" and have food and drink to live a well-off life. If you don’t abdicate, the "Shanyang Gong" will become a "public goat" to be slaughtered and wait for him to deal with it.
So, the pace of history entered the Cao Wei era.
Cao Pi abolished Han and became emperor. It is not so much that the Cao family entered the heyday of history, but rather that the Sima family had slightly sang the prelude to the Jin Dynasty's clothing and hats. Because, from then on, Sima Yi walked to the forefront of history in the northern camp where the world was two of them, and was good at dancing, basically singing the protagonist.
Cao Cao was very suspicious, and Cao Pi was also very suspicious. But the two people's suspicion is different. Cao Cao always doubted that others were going to plot against him, and he was very relieved about his own people. Most of the people he valued were Xia Hou and Cao. However, Cao Pi always couldn't let go of his brothers, but he was very relieved about people like Sima Yi. As soon as he became the top leader in the country, he immediately vigorously promoted Sima Yi. Within one year, Sima Yi was transferred from the Secretary of State to the Army General and the Censor General, and was granted the title of Marquis of Anguo Township. In the second year of Huangchu, the general was dismissed and moved to Shizhong and Shangshu Youpushe. The Right Pushe of Shangshu is the chief of Shangshu Province, second only to the Shangshu Ling. Few people could achieve this promotion speed at that time.
At this time, no one suspects that Sima Yi, the little old man, has become Cao Pi's closest comrade-in-arms.
and Sima Yi still has a lot of room for promotion.
In the fifth year of Huangchu, when Cao Pi was traveling to the border of Eastern Wu, he asked Sima Yi to stay in Xuchang and package all the subsequent affairs to Sima Yi. At the same time, Sima Yi was re-entitled Xiangxiang Hou, and transferred to Fujun, 号 , leading 5,000 troops, and added to the ministers and the ministers. Sima Yi knew that Cao Pi could no longer live without him at this time, so he talked about his style and said "Gu Ci". He seemed to be unwilling to promote him if he was alive, but Cao Pi insisted on accepting it and said, "This promotion is not for you to enjoy, but for you to help me share my worries." Haha, look, Cao Pi’s words are no different from those of the organization, right? This is the trust of the Party and the people in you. Don’t let down the expectations of the Party and the people in you.
Dongwu is Sima Yi's noble man. As long as there is movement over there, Sima Yi will always have good results. First, Sun Quan wrote a letter to him, asking him to seize an opportunity and relieve Lao Cao's suspicion of him. Xiao Cao always likes to go to the border of Eastern Wu - probably looking south across the Yangtze River, which can attract a lot of inspiration. Therefore, although Shu Kingdom is also Cao Pi's enemy - and it is a more dangerous enemy, the poet and emperor Cao Pi passed by the spring ridges beyond the border of Shu and Wei, and went to the riverside to inspect. He went to the riverside and promoted Sima Yi once.
Cao Pi made a southern tour in the fifth year of Huangchu. He inspected the troops, made a speech on the southern tour, and ran back. The next year, Cao Pi probably felt that he only had a southern tour speech or a few days trip by the river, and he was a little different from the emperor holding heavy troops. He had to lead the troops to fight a war, and the blue-eyed child Sun Quan was satisfied. Therefore, he decided to "Daxing Zhoushi" to conquer the Eastern Wu. This time, Sun Quan failed to sleep well, but Sima Yi got the benefits. Cao Pi asked him to take charge of the affairs of the rear and took him in front of Xiao He. The original text of the red-headed document of Cao Pi is: "I am deeply concerned about the future, so I entrust you to me. Although Cao Shen has military achievements, Xiao He is the most important thing. Isn't it okay to make me worry about the West!" This letter means that you don't have to fight, but you are more important than winning a battle. Your work is the guarantee of winning a battle.
When you read this file, you can understand Cao Pi’s trust in Comrade Sima Yi without much effort.
Cao Pi conquered Wu, but he did not find any military achievements that could be used in history, but his trust in Sima Yi reached a new level. Cao Pi has been to Guangling and Luoyang . Before he could do anything else, he issued a red-headed document to Sima Yi: "I am in the east, the army is the general affairs of the West; I am in the west, the army is the general affairs of the East."Let him be the first in charge of Xuchang, in charge of the capital, and also emphasized that when I go to the west, you have the final say in the east; when I am in the east, you have the full responsibility for the matter in the west. I am simply sharing the power of the first in charge with Sima Yi.
Sima Yi has a lucky number, that is, whenever the first in charge of the Cao family camp is in great trouble, his luck will come. As soon as Cao Cao dies, he is promoted by Cao Pi. Now, Cao Pi, who follows his father, dies, and then dies. Cao Cao, this guy His literary level is good, and even his son is of high quality, which is more than one level higher than Sima Yi in this regard. But their health preservation method is much worse than Sima Yi. Since Cao Pi, several emperors have not lived long. Cao Pi only sat on the dragon throne for six years, and his butt can't stand it. When Cao Pi was about to take a break, he called Sima Yi, Cao Zhen, Chen Qun and other guys to the southern hall of Chonghua Hall, and asked them to be the assistants of the second generation leader of the Cao family, and said to his heirs: "No matter who instigates the situation, you can't doubt these three uncles and ministers. "Think about it, my dad has said this. What else does Cao Rui have to say besides respecting these old guys?
In fact, Cao Rui trusts Sima Yi more. When Cao Rui became the first leader, Sima Yi changed to the post of Wuyang. Soon, it was Sun Quan again. He thought Cao Rui was easy to bully, so he surrounded Jiangxia with several close friends and sent Zhuge Jin and Zhang Ba to attack Xiangyang . As soon as Cao Rui received the report, he immediately sent Sima Yi to lead troops to deal with it.
This is the first time Sima Yi has obtained command of the battle. The joy in his heart must be indescribable. But he calmly moved and led the troops to the front line. Sun Quan seemed to be able to create friction without any other ability. As soon as he saw Sima Yi's troops coming, he ran back to Jiangdong. Sima Yi defeated Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin in one battle, and chopped off Zhang Ba's head. Sima Yi's victory made Cao Rui very happy, and he immediately appointed Sima Yi as General of the Cavalry. It was from this time that Sima Yi entered the "Military Commission" and became a general. And he simply let him station in Wancheng and supervised the military affairs of Jing and Yuzhou. . What does General Cavalry add "Military Military Affairs of Jing and Yu"? This is the concept of the combined member of the Central Military Commission and the commander of the Military Region. He has power and soldiers.
Cao Rui, a buddy who was later called Wei Mingdi , not only did he have any doubts about Sima Yi, but he was also relieved about that Mengda .
Do you know Mengda? It is the Mengda who surrendered from Liu Bei.
Mengda's mouth is very compatible with Cao Rui's taste, and he is a handsome guy. Cao Rui likes it as soon as he saw it His "sexual appearance" is a good look, and he plays with this guy every day.
Cao Rui and Meng Da have a good time, and created conditions for Sima Yi to gain power.
Sima Yi's vision is the same level as Cao Cao. When he saw this Meng Da, he knew that this guy was not a good person. He repeatedly advised his leaders not to trust such people, and he could not be allowed to be a leading cadre. But Cao Rui refused to listen and made Meng Da the prefect of Xincheng and was also a vassal. This is not counting. He even had a "fake festival" - people with this qualification can cut off their heads that violated military orders during wartime.
Although this power is not very big, you have to honestly hang Shangfang sword, but when it comes to war, you have to listen to him. Xincheng is on the border, so it is easy to fight.
Many surrendered generals are the same. They surrender to the enemy. As long as they are not killed, the officials will be promoted. Of course, you must also choose the right time to surrender - you will be beaten to the commander without being killed. It is impossible for you to promote it. Meng Da has a rich experience in this area. He chose to surrender to Zhuge Liang during the period when Cao Rui trusted him, and he was proactive.
But Meng Da only thought about the benefits of surrender, but he did not think about what kind of person Zhuge Liang was. Seeing that he was a recurring person, Zhuge Liang was afraid that he would surrender today and not surrender tomorrow, so he thought of a way to speed up his surrender.Like many stories, there is also a liaison between Meng Da and Zhuge Liang. The liaison officer sent by Zhuge Liang is called Guo Mo . Guo Mo followed Zhuge Liang's supreme instructions and when he passed by Meng Da's lord's arch-3 Shenyi , the story leaked the news that Meng Da was going to surrender to Zhuge Liang.
Meng Da saw that Shen Yi knew his secret, so he decided to act in advance.
Think about it, this kind of thing is already very dangerous. Without careful planning and solid preliminary preparations, it will be difficult to succeed. What kind of result will it be if you need to act in advance?
Moreover, Comrade Sima Yi has long been closely watching Comrade Meng Da's actions. Who is Sima Yi? This guy's evaluation of Zhuge Liang is to be cautious and steady. In fact, he is more cautious and steady than Zhuge Liang, otherwise he would have been cut off his head by Cao Cao, who suspected that he had the ambition to usurp the party and seize power. Since he told his leader that Meng Da cannot be used, although the leader does not believe it, he will definitely not let Meng Da go. He will definitely try every means to find Meng Da’s fault and prove that his words are right. I think even if Meng Da does not rebel, there will be no good results in the future. Therefore, Meng Da's actions were not only expected by Sima Yi, but also under Sima Yi's surveillance.
When Meng Da made the decision, Sima Yi learned the news as soon as possible.
Sima Yi was very bold and correct when dealing with this matter.
Sima Yi was in Wancheng at this time. He first wrote a letter to Meng Da, saying, "You used to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and jump from Da Er'er. Liu Bei's maid wished he could eat you." Zhuge Liang had long wanted to arrest you, but there was nothing we could do. Who can believe that you will surrender again? What is Guo Mo's elder brother? What he said is not worthy of scrutiny at all? And what is Zhuge Liang’s? Can he reveal such a thing? Only Zhutou believes Guo Mo's words.
Meng Da laughed loudly when he received this letter. In fact, Meng Da was afraid of Sima Yi. He once said that as long as Sima Yi didn't come, he would not be afraid of anyone coming. But he was optimistic that although Sima Yi was terrible, he was in Wancheng. Wancheng is 1,200 miles away from the new city, and Sima Yi wants to come to beat him, he has to follow the procedures - report to the central government first, and only then can he bring the troops with him after all the relevant central departments stamp it. It will take more than a month to repeat the official documents. No matter how fast Sima Yi was, it was too late. Meng Da felt that his analysis was done well and he proudly made a written report to Zhuge Liang.
Meng Da believes that even Sima Yi thinks so, and Wei State Other people will not have any doubts, so they do not want to act in advance. Think about it, it is strange that you can succeed if you hesitate so much.
After Sima Yi sent the letter, he reported to the central government and marched towards the new city with his troops. Sima Yi knew that Cao Rui would not blame him.
Many people advised Sima Yi that Meng Da has not announced his action yet, so we will lead the troops there. Is it inappropriate? It’s better to wait until he really announces it, it’s not too late to go again.
But Sima Yi didn't listen. I think Sima Yi is like Zhuge Liang in this matter, afraid that Meng Da, who has repeated specialties, will suddenly stop doing it, so he will not have the chance to turn against this guy. It would be better to lead his troops there. When Meng Da saw the siege troops coming, he couldn't do it. And in this matter, it is also a chance for Sima Yi to gain greater power. He can prove to everyone that I have a good vision, right? Is my suggestion good? I said that Meng Da rebelled, but you don’t listen. How are you doing now? Then try Cao Rui and see how trust Cao Rui has in him. Because, it is not fun to lead troops to the war without Cao Rui's approval. If Cao Rui has no objection this time, it will be easier in the future. Just like having sex with a beautiful woman when you are in love, it will be easier to have the first time, the second time will be.
The troops led by Sima Yi were indeed running fast, and they arrived outside the city in just eight days.
Meng Da saw it, Damn! It turned out that the letter was a fool - I had already made a big mistake to believe that the enemy was honest, but at this time I realized that the enemy was dishonest, so there was only a dead end.
Sima Yi did not give Meng Da a chance to breathe, and divided his troops into eight directions to launch a general attack on Xincheng.
After sixteen days of fighting, Meng Da's nephew Deng Xian and his generals couldn't hold on and opened the door and surrendered to Sima Yi without saying hello to Boss Meng.
Sima Yi cut off Meng Da's head and caught Shen Yi. It turns out that Shen Yi has a specialty, which is that he can engrave seals. He also carved seals and obtained certificates everywhere like those underground certificates today. Most of the people who apply for certificates now only help you get a diploma or something. However, Shen Yi is much more awesome - she specializes in making official seals for others, and her business is very good.
Sima Yi, of course, could not let this Shen Yi go. I think Sima Yi's arrest of Shen Yi has his profound meaning, mainly to reveal a message to the outside world: I can arrest illegal and disorganized elements in the future. There may not be many other things in this world, but there is never a shortage of people who violate the law and discipline. As long as you make up your mind to catch them, you will definitely be able to capture them. Many leaders do not arrest corruption in their daily lives, which is because they think it is unnecessary - because leaders are also corrupt. But when you violate his interests or even when he dislikes you, he can fight against corruption. Moreover, this anti-corruption seems to be vigorous, as if it will leave no hiding place for any corrupt elements. However, people all over the world can also see that with their butts, this movement is just targeting someone. Therefore, Sima Yi arrested Shen Yi, a person who randomly applied for certificates, and established his authority in front of his colleagues.
To be honest, Cao Rui was also an enlightened emperor. He was later posthumously named Ming, which was not bad. He was not angry because Sima Yi mobilized his troops to kill his netizen Comrade Meng Da, but instead trusted Sima Yi more.
Cao Rui probably reflected on this incident and felt that it was really impossible not to listen to this old man, so he listened to Sima Yi's opinions more modestly. He asked Sima Yi: Now we have two class enemies. Do you think it is easier to kill who should be killed first?
Sima Yi made an analysis: Sun Quan always bullies us as a landlag, does not understand water war, and often harasses us. In fact, he has just guarded several places in Xiakou Dongguan now, so we can't beat it. If we use the army to use troops to Wancheng , lead his main force to the east, and then use the navy to attack Xiakou and take advantage of the situation to take it, it will be like a divine weapon in the sky, and we will definitely be able to defeat him.
I guess Sima Yi's argument is of his own interests. First of all, he suggested that Wu and Shu be the first because Shu is indeed difficult to fight. Although Shu is weaker than Wu, it is difficult to walk on the Shu Road. When people guard the pass, they are truly a one-man who can pass the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. Moreover, he does not want Kong Ming to be defeated immediately. Because, among the two enemies now, Kong Ming is undoubtedly the most skillful one. He is the most terrifying enemy in Wei. No one dares to deal with him - others dare not deal with him, so of course he had to let Sima Yi deal with him. In this sense, as long as Comrade Kong Ming is healthy, he can maintain an important position in Wei State. Then, because he advocated the attack on Wu, he had to wait for the opportunity, and he was the only one who could wait for this opportunity. In this way, Cao Rui will definitely let him lead his troops to the front line and wait for the opportunity. He could leave the capital and go to the front line to be the top leader - because he knew that although this little Cao was not old, he was also a personal talent. If you are with such a leader every day, you will not be able to let go, and if you are together more every day, it will easily cause unpleasant things to happen. The emperor was unhappy and the consequences were very serious. He did not go to the grassroots to prepare for war and famine.
When Cao Rui heard this, he felt that he was right and asked him to station troops in Wan again.
In the fourth year of Taihe, Cao Rui adopted Cao Zhen's suggestion and divided his troops into several groups to attack Shu.
Just at this moment, another great man from the Cao family Cao Xiu died. Sima Yi was promoted. This personnel appointment and removal is as follows: Cao Zhen replaces Cao Xiu's Grand Sima, and Sima Yi takes over Cao Zhen's position: moves to the general, increase the commander-in-chief, fake Huang Yue . He also asked Sima Yi and Grand Sima General Cao Zhen to attack Shu together. This promotion further established Sima Yi's position as one of the military commanders - in addition to the general, there was also the commander-in-chief, and the fake Huang Yue.Let’s talk about this fake yellow axe. Huang Yue was originally a tool for killing people, but now the emperor gives you this thing, which means that you can execute officials who violate the law and discipline on behalf of the emperor. At that time, this kind of treatment was divided into four levels: (I) Fake Festival: There is no right to deal with people in normal times, and people who violate military orders can be killed in wartime. (2) Keep the rituals: In normal times, people who have no official positions can be killed, and in wartime officials less than 2,000 stones can be killed. (3) Envoys and sermons: In peacetime and in wartime, officials below two thousand stones can be killed. (4) Fake junction (or fake yellow axe): can kill jun generals (including fake junction, holding junction, and entrust junction).
Ma Yi received the highest level of treatment at this time. Anyone who is disobedient can order the swordsman to pull you down and "behead you to report". This made Sima Yi's authority among the ministers grow a little more.
However, Sima Yi was not active in entering Western Shu.
He headed from Xicheng. Although he looked very big, he led his army to avoid the avenue and left the easy-to-go Mianshui Valley. He chose remote mountainous areas as the route to cut the mountains and clear the way. The troops became engineering teams of the Transportation Bureau, and they were passive and lazy all the way. From July to September, they only took less than 500 miles of journeys - this is in sharp contrast to the eight-day running of 1,200 miles when he captured Meng Shuai Ge. Finally, he won Xinfeng and perfunctorily. When he arrived at Dankou, it started to rain heavily in the sky. And the rain was like it was for him, and it took more than a month at once. Today, it may be another "once-in-a-century encounter". The emperor Cao Rui had no choice but to order his mother to be removed.
Everyone knows that although Zhuge Liang has a niche face and looks very gentle, he is an expert in creating friction.
It has only been a year, that is, in the fifth year of Taihe, friction expert Zhuge Liang brought the newly conquered Shu soldiers to the Tianshui area to create military conflicts. Cao Rui immediately said to Sima Yi: "There is something in the West, and no one can repay you."
At this time, Cao Rui had already regarded Zhuge Liang as the main enemy of Wei, and believed that only Sima Yi was Kong Ming's opponent, asking him to Xitun Chang'an , govern the military affairs of Yong and Liangzhou, and also allocated him the most powerful general of Wei at that time, Zhang He . From then on, Sima Yi was pushed to the front and began his legendary career as an enemy of Zhuge Liang.
In fact, in Sima Yi's heart, Zhuge Liang was not very scary. In fact, the whole plot is not like Luo Guanzhong bragged. Zhongda student often asked Zhuge Liang to run while touching his head and asking the staff around him: "Is my head still there?"
At that time, Cao Rui handed over all the best generals of Wei State to Sima Yi for command. The most awesome ones were the general Zhang He, the cavalry general Fei Yao, the guardian Dai Ling of the Shu army, the governor of Yongzhou, and the governor of Guo Huai , and the more awesome ones were the ones. Some of these guys, some of whom started with the first generation of Cao's leaders, can be fully entitled the word "a long-tested older generation revolutionary". But later, they all became subordinates and even confidants of the Sima family. We have no way of knowing whether Sima Yi had the ambition to usurp the party and seize power at that time, but he did cultivate a group of backbone elements who later became the backbone of the power of the reverse Wei to promote Cao.
Although generation after generation in history have regarded Zhuge Liang as Sima Yi's main opponent. But I think Sima Yi is not afraid of Kong Ming very much. First of all, although Kong Ming's IQ is very high and terrible, he does not have many soldiers under his command. Moreover, he knows that Kong Ming has a good fortune in the country, which may not be comparable to that of him, but Kong Ming is not a good player in war - not a very pornographic and violent opponent. In the Mengda incident, it has been shown that Kong Ming was not a perfect person: on the one hand, he designed to promote Mengda's affairs, but on the other hand, he did not decisively send troops to support him, and finally the matter of Meng Shuai Ge's uprising was ruined. Secondly, the Shu Road is difficult and dangerous. It is certainly not easy for you to get in, but once you keep the bottle mouth, it is difficult for him to come out. Therefore, Sima was not as careful as Cao Cao as he was. He just needed to keep a close eye on the key points and would not fall no matter how Zhuge Liang was trying to do anything.However, Sima Yi can use the biggest enemy of Wei to preside over the Western military and political power, cultivate his own strength, and consolidate his power and status. From this point of view, he not only would not regard Zhuge Liang as his enemy, but also would be grateful to Kong Ming in his heart.
