Chapter 6 2. Zhuge Liang's Legacy

The moon on August 15th is round and big, hanging in the air like a jade plate.The sandy beach by the Wei River is covered with a layer of bright, shallow silver glow, which extends to the end of the night like a white satin.Everything seemed to return to that autumn night by the Changning River in Jingzhou in the thirteenth year of Jian'an.Everything is as clear as a dream emerges. A brilliant white light danced on the surface of the river, gradually blurring Sima Yi's eyes.Zhuge Liang's majestic back looks even more embossed against the backdrop of the moonlight.At this moment, he is playing the piano slowly with his back to Sima Yi.

The sound of the piano is pure and light, as if it is another kind of moving chapter written with invisible pen and ink.In an instant, Sima Yi seemed to have returned to his youth when he was studying in Linglong Valley. All the grand, subtle, high-spirited, and tactful voices were just born in the dark night, coming to his face with newborn sobriety and innocence, lingering , delicate fragrance tenderly.The fish jumping under the moonlight, the bell ringing in the distant mountains, the flat and wide river, the soft wind blowing through the green mountains, a wild duck hatched out of the grass, and the fox under the rock wall is howling up to the sky... Zhuge Liang's fingers playing the qin are nimble and light, like two white cranes flying with spread wings. The body of the qin is a sea of ​​fragrant flowers, and the seven strings are the fragrance of flowers that keep coming in waves.Although the sound of music and the fragrance of flowers are invisible and colorless, they are both a door that can penetrate into the depths of the soul, where they circle back and forth.Sima Yi relaxed and listened quietly, the door opened slowly, and the sunlight flowed in like water, and the smile of the "her" who was dreaming was gradually drifting closer... A string of coldness slipped down his cheek quietly. , That was his clear tears.

With the sound of "Zheng", the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.Sima Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately returned to the real reality.He couldn't help sighing: "Excellent piano skills! It's really a beautiful sound! I'm afraid Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin's seven-string skill was unmatched in those days, right?" Zhuge Liang sat quietly on the bamboo mat for a while, then slowly turned around and stared at him, as kind and natural as looking at an old friend who has known each other for many years.Although the two of them had fought twice in Guanzhong, they were usually the soldiers of the two of them, and they would go to and fro in the future. The chances of the two of them to meet in front of the battle were pitifully rare—even if they met, they were just They are just looking at each other from afar across the battlefield, never walking so close today.

He slowly raised the goose feather fan and flapped it, and said leisurely: "Sima Jun, after so many years, you are still as handsome as ever, so gratifying and enviable!" He coughed heavily. Sima Yi still looked at him quietly, and said softly: "Kong Ming, you should pay more attention to your body!" In that warm voice, there was an inexplicable kindness and concern. Zhuge Liang waved his hand, suppressed a trace of pain on his face, slowly took out an object from the skirt of his clothes, and held it in his palm.When Sima Yi saw it, his heart skipped a beat.But he realized that it was exactly the tile from the Weiyang Palace of the Western Han Dynasty that he had given him in a wooden boat on Shenbi Lake in Jingzhou more than 20 years ago!The Yinglong decoration on it is still so vivid!He hesitated for a moment, and softly chanted: "The yellow paint is hard to stain the red tiles, and the evil intentions will be exhausted. The windshield brushes the clouds to collect the sunrise, and return my true colors to Yan Han! Kong Ming, the poem you wrote back then, is still recited today." It's still clear and clear into the clouds!"

Zhuge Liang's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Zhongda, you may have forgotten that this tile was given to Yu Liang by yourself back then." Sima Yi's face froze slightly, and he said slowly: "The general trend of the world, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Kong Ming, you are so eager to invite me here, I'm afraid you won't be talking about this debate again!" "No, no. This tile of the palace of the Han Dynasty came from the water in the past, and now it is better to send it back to the water! I think that you and I don't need to tie it to the body anymore. It is already He should have been buried together with Dr. Kong and Xun Lingjun back then..." Zhuge Liang said in a calm almost indifferent tone, and with a raised hand, he threw the Weiyang Palace tile into the distance with a bang. In the water of the Wei River that was slowly flowing eastward, there were only a few slight ripples and then disappeared...

When Sima Yi saw him, his heart shook slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhuge Liang turned his face and smiled deeply at him: "These days, Liang has been thinking about the story that happened in Yehe County that you told by the Changning River in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, and it touched Liang very much. Big. You are right, the contenders at the turn of the world are not about famous utensils, etiquette, or power, but the support of the people! What the common people need most is not famous utensils or orthodox etiquette, but Food and clothing, tranquility, and freedom. Liang has been tossing the people in Yizhou for too long, and it is time to end."

Sima Yi's face fluctuated slightly, he did not expect Zhuge Liang's wisdom and tenacity to say such a thing today!So, he pondered for a while, and sighed softly: "But it's not your Zhuge Kongming's style to sit in a corner without thinking or thinking..." Zhuge Liang gave a long smile: "During the six Northern Expeditions, Liang has done his best. Liang is self-aware, Zhong Da, you have won!" This passage was like a string of thunderbolts falling from the sky, and Sima Yi was shocked with a "boom"!He stood there in a daze for a long time, and couldn't believe his ears for a while.Finally, he slowly came to his senses, and the circles of his eyes turned red suddenly: "Kong Ming—you..."

Zhuge Liang avoided his gaze, pointed to the long wooden box beside the bamboo mat, gestured to Liu Nuo and Niu Jin, and said, "You two, open this wooden box!" When the wooden box was opened, a huge scroll was revealed, with a banner about seven or eight feet wide. Under Sima Yi's surprised and inexplicable eyes, Zhuge Liang gently ordered: "Pull it away." Liu Nuo and Niu Jin grabbed the sandalwood scrolls on both sides of the scroll and walked away respectively.On the bottom of the white silk, there are cities woven with golden silk, rivers embroidered with silver thread, peaks and mountains drawn with red thread, lakes and seas embroidered with blue satin...From the Liaodong Peninsula on the right, Youzhou, Jizhou , Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and other state and county maps of various shapes and colors come oncoming, until the foot of Congling in the Western Regions on the left end-it turns out , This is actually a beautiful picture scroll of a map of the world with a length of one foot and four feet!

Sima Yi looked at the huge picture under the bright moonlight, and praised it from the bottom of his heart, what a beautiful Shu brocade!Such an atmospheric treasure map! "This is the 'Nine Provinces Returning to One Picture'..." Zhuge Liang stretched out his slender fingers and stroked the smooth and bright brocade picture lightly, as if stroking his beloved baby.How many nights during the Northern Expedition and the garrison, he lingered in front of this picture scroll in his sleeping tent wearing a robe and holding on to a candle.Within the radius of the four seas, except for Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou, other large areas of the Central Plains such as Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou have never set foot. He has never even been to Luoyang and Chang'an by himself... And he, in the bottom of his heart, wished so much that he could plant the banner of the great man in every inch of land on the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!But, now, all of this is impossible to achieve in my lifetime...

Under the turmoil of his mood, he couldn't help tearing his eyes, and softly chanted: "Reading poetry and books with hair tied up, self-cultivation and enlightenment, looking up and looking down, keeping a heroic strategy in his chest. He never forgets to worry about the country, and learning the scriptures is always a solution. The people are in trouble. The phoenix and the phoenix think about Gao Xiang. When the world is in trouble, it is time to come to rescue. The thatched hut takes care of three times, and talks about it. Half a lifetime meets a confidant, and the Sri Lankan people return together. Once I go with the king with the piano, and go to collect the dust with a feather fan and a scarf .Longxilongxifengyunhui, a cavity full of green blood reflecting the sky. When I come back, I have a long-cherished wish, and I will be a long-mu citizen for the rest of the year. The breeze and the bright moon are in my arms, and the ape and the crane listen to me and play the piano..."

As Sima Yi listened, he also wept endlessly. After Zhuge Liang chanted, he concentrated his mind, and his fingers caressed the mountains, the rivers, and the plains, and finally stopped at Nanyang County, Yuzhou, where he lived in seclusion and worked in farming.He stared at it for a long time, and murmured: "How Liang hopes that this giant picture he sees can become a reality... There will no longer be Shu, Wei, and Wu in the world, and Kyushu will be restored." It is unified again, and even the Eastern Hu and Western Qiang have heard the wind and belonged to each other... The weather in the four directions is smooth, the crops are harvested year after year, the government is clean and honest, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the post roads extend in all directions, and the people are one family... The prosperity of the three generations of Yao, Shun and Yu has reappeared today... " Then, he turned his face and looked at Sima Yi with piercing eyes: "Zhongda, can you accept this treasure map?" Sima Yi looked at this huge picture of Shu brocade, with a solemn expression on his face, and nodded emphatically. "Then, this picture, Liang will present it to you now." Finally, Zhuge Liang said this sentence gracefully.Then, he slowly turned around and said leisurely: "Liang, I'm leaving now." Watching Zhuge Liang's receding back, tears filled Sima Yi's eyes, and suddenly let out a long howl, the whistling sound was as clear as a phoenix, and as deep as a dragon's chant, flying up and down, straight into the sky. As soon as Zhuge Liang stopped, he pursed his lips, trying to resonate with him—unexpectedly, it caused a slight tingling pain in his chest: it turned out that his lung qi was exhausted, and he could no longer make that clear whistle; Trying my best to respond, I am also powerless... He closed his eyes, and two strings of clear tears dripped down! There was a sound of "哗啦", and six shiny golden baht coins fell on the desk and lined up. The hexagram image was Tongren hexagram, and the fourth line in the hexagram changed. Sima Yi looked peaceful, opened his eyes slowly, pondered for a while, and then lightly opened the letter in his hand, and saw the hexagram of the Tongren hexagram: "Tongren in the wild, Heng. To benefit the great river, to benefit the gentleman." Chastity." The fourth line's line is: "Take advantage of the embarrassment, Foke attack, auspicious." Facing the hexagrams formed by the six baht coins, he gently stroked his long beard, closed his eyes slightly, and fell into a deep depression. in thinking. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "The Book of Changes is the most amazing book in ancient and modern times. It hooks deep and far, explores the depths and seeks the secrets. The sages use it to measure the world's affairs, to understand the world's ambitions, and to determine the world's karma. , to break the doubts of the world. My father once ordered you to study and read it carefully. Do you have any experience after studying it recently? Today, you will explain the hexagram in front of my father in detail!" He asked this question to his two sons.Master Sima stepped forward to take a closer look at the hexagrams and lines, and he was very happy, and said: "Father, it seems that we are going to conquer Zhuge Liang this time, and God will help us, and we will be able to conquer everything! This is the same as the hexagrams, Li She Da Chuan, this statement is indeed true. My son heard the news that the Shu army already knew that Zhuge Liang was critically ill, and people were already panicked and restless! Why didn’t the commander-in-chief take this opportunity to sneak forward and wipe out the Shu bandits in one fell swoop?” Hearing this, Sima Yi's two long eyebrows trembled slightly: This kid is full of courage and domineering, but he can be called a character who can endure hardships, but he is a little aggressive.He changed his mind slightly in his heart, and was about to speak. "Wait a minute." Sima Zhao's clear and unusual voice made his heart skip a beat, so he listened silently. "Brother, please take a look at the fourth line of the Tongren Hexagram: take advantage of Qiyong, Foke attack, auspicious. This shows that although the overall battle situation is greatly beneficial to our army, it is better to be cautious in the use of troops in the near future, and strive to protect the entire division. If you want to win, you should not rush to a battle, and wait for the opportunity to finish the battle." Sima Yi nodded slightly. Sima Zhaodong took advantage of the opportunity and did not hesitate in the face of things. He was also a generation of strategy wizards.Therefore, he slowly opened his mouth: "Both of you have good opinions. According to my father, this hexagram and this line are the signs of 'quietness is good, and rash action is evil'. A fortuneteller should not be greedy for a moment If you miss the great cause of a lifetime, you must make a decision and then attack. Although Zhuge Liang is seriously ill, the morale of the more than 100,000 Shu troops under him is still high. After the real death, the camera will move..." "Father, Zhuge Liang won't live for a few more days!" Master Sima couldn't help reminding. "It is precisely because he is dying and seriously ill that we need to take extra precautions. What if he uses tricks to lure the enemy into death?" Sima Yi glanced at him coldly. As we approach the moment of final victory, we must walk on thin ice and be cautious!" As he said that, he bowed his head to look at the hexagrams and lines, as if looking up at a prophet, his eyes were full of infinite trust and respect.Respecting hexagrams and lines, in Sima Yi's mind, means respecting heaven, respecting Tao, and respecting life.He can hardly trust anyone in his life, but he will not trust the book on his desk.It is a magic weapon for his decision-making in battle and strategy in dealing with affairs. It guides him step by step towards success and ideals, so he almost only believes in it.In the 22nd year of Jian'an in the previous dynasty, the 38-year-old Sima Yi accompanied Wei Wudi Cao Cao to the west to Yizhou as a assistant. One day before the battle, he made a hexagram for Cao Cao.Nowhere to go, its coming will be auspicious.If there is a future, it will be auspicious.In the sixth line, the words of the line are: Shoot the falcon on Gaoyong for public use, and there will be no disadvantages if you catch it. According to the hexagrams and lines, after in-depth research and comprehensive analysis of the battle situation at that time, Sima Yi said to Cao Cao: "At this time, Liu Bei used deception to capture Liu Zhang, and the people of Shu may not be willing to follow him! But he didn't care about it." Qing and Sun Quan are fighting for Jiangling far away. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed! Now that the prime minister has suddenly conquered Hanzhong, Yizhou is terrified, and the army and people are uneasy. If you advance quickly and your troops approach you, the enemy will collapse, and the whole of Shu will be won. Please don't lose the time. Please make a clear decision." However, Cao Cao thought that he was young and arrogant, and he uttered rash words, so he sarcastically said: "If a man has no feet, he has a long, and he looks back to Shu?" He didn't take his advice. The troops returned to the north.As a result, as soon as he left, Liu Bei reached a peace agreement with Sun Quan and then came back, left Jiange Pass, killed Xiahouyuan, seized Hanzhong Fortress in one fell swoop, and sealed Cao Cao's southwest gateway to Shu.It was only at this time that Cao Cao came to his senses. He knew that he was not careful in observing his words and had lost a good opportunity.When he was dying, Cao Cao remembered that Sima Yi was right in his words and plans, and he was really a man of great strength, so he was appointed as Cao Pi's Prince Shao Fu, and he was appointed as Cao Pi's prince Shao Fu, to assist Cao Pi to start a foundation and build a business.Looking back on the past and thinking about the present, how could Sima Yi not regard relying as a standard and a god? Master Sima endured and endured, and finally said: "Father, you are still too cautious. According to reports from our eyeliner in the Shu army, Zhuge Liang's long history Yang Yi and his vanguard general Wei Yan have always had a grudge. , if Zhuge Liang dies, the two of them might fight for power... Isn't this the best time for us to take advantage of the opportunity?" "Hmph! Teacher, you really think Zhuge Liang is too simple! The mere Wei Yan and Yang Yi are probably already in Zhuge Liang's plan, and it is difficult to become a hidden danger to destroy the security of the Shu army! You can't catch anything. Take advantage of the gap." Sima Yi looked at him, "I also know that as a father, you are eager to urge your father to defeat the Shu invaders, and after you have made great achievements, you will respond to the persuasion of Dong Situ, Cui Sikong and others to enter Jiuxi as the prime minister of Jin." What’s the matter? Let me tell you, the old saying is good, only a saint can be safe inside and out. If you are not a saint, you must have internal worries. You must not only see one and not the other; only see the outside, not the inside; only Seeing its advantages, not seeing its disadvantages..." While he was talking, he heard Niu Heng's voice from outside the curtain of the sleeping tent: "General, my subordinates have something urgent to report!" "Come in..." Sima Yi could hear a hint of panic in Niu Heng's voice, so he hurriedly replied. After Niu Heng entered the tent, he clasped his fists and reported to Sima Yi: "General, there is a news report from the imperial court that the Liaodong prefect and Le Lang Gong Gongsun Yuan have rebelled! He has declared himself King of Yan and has raised troops Coming straight to the border of Youzhou..." "What's going on?" Sima Yi's complexion changed drastically, "It hasn't been long since Gongsun Yuan abolished his uncle and seized the throne, and the court also imprisoned him with the acquiescence of politeness. How could he suddenly have a different will and make trouble?" "I heard... I heard that His Majesty issued an imperial decree to force him to rebel. His Majesty transferred him to Beijing as a Taiwei by means of explicit promotion and secret surrender, but in the end he was forced to rebel!" "Your Majesty, this... this... what is he trying to do? Didn't he just add chaos to my Great Wei out of thin air? Why didn't Sun Zi and Liu Fang stop him? Why didn't Shang Shutai stop him? How could he be allowed to act like this? " Sima Yi said angrily. Niu Heng bent down and said earnestly: "General, it is said that His Majesty's edict was written by himself, and then he put it in his dragon robe and brought it to the Nine Dragon Hall to release it to the public. I was caught off guard, so naturally I couldn't stop it..." "Alas! This is simply nonsense! To deal with that Gongsun Yuan, I have a plan in mind. Now His Majesty is issuing edicts to scare the snakes. It is really... really tricky!" Sima Yi gritted his teeth to hold back his anger, pondered for a moment, and then Asked, "Pei Qian and the others have made perfect preparations to deal with Gongsun Yuan's chaos?" "I'm afraid not yet..." Niu Heng replied softly, "Your subordinate will write a secret letter in your name and send it to Master Pei later?" Sima Yi closed his eyes slightly, and nodded heavily. At this time, Sima Zhao clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Oh! It's broken! Commander-in-law, Dong Situ, Cui Sikong, Gao Tingwei and the others are almost ready to persuade you to join Jiuxi Jinxiang. This, this, this, look..." "Hmm... Can you still think about persuading the Prime Minister of Jiuxi to join the Jin Dynasty now? Maybe after I beat the Shu invaders later, I will quickly send troops to the north to fight the rebellion in Liaodong." "Then... Father Marshal, do you mean to put aside the matter of persuading Jiuxi to join the Jin Dynasty for the time being? This...how can this be done?" Master Sima was stunned, "According to my son's opinion, should they persuade him to join or not?" Please come in!" Sima Zhao glanced at his elder brother: "Brother... as the old saying goes: A little intolerance can lead to great chaos. It seems that we have to inform Dong Situ, Cui Sikong, and Gao Tingwei to promote this after the father-in-law wiped out the Gongsun family." It's over." "But... But, look at Dong Situ and Cui Sikong's age, they still can't make it to the day when their father returns from the Liaodong squadron..." Sima Shi frowned and said. "Even so, there's nothing you can do about it!" Sima Yi made a final decision, "Niu Heng, from now on, help me collect all the information about Liaodong and submit it!" "Yes!" Niu Heng replied crisply. They were talking, when there was a sound of messy footsteps hurriedly approaching outside the sleeping tent.All the people in the tent stopped talking at once, but when the curtain was lifted, Zhou Xuan rushed in with a panicked expression: "Zhongda! Zhongda! Just now a giant red-maned and multi-angled star fell in the northwest night sky, and it fell The direction is Wuzhangyuan." "The superstar has fallen?" Sima Yi was shocked, his eyes widened, "Could it be..." "Zhuge Liang is dead!" Zhou Xuan stared at him and said every word. "Is Zhuge Liang really dead?" Sima Yi muttered to himself, "Is he really dead?" "That's right. If the general doesn't believe it, please follow Zhou out of the tent and watch the stars." Zhou Xuan bowed respectfully and answered. In an instant, Sima Yi only heard a "ding" of a crystal-like thing deep in his heart that shattered, and a sharp pain immediately stimulated all the nerves in his whole body... He slumped down on the bed for a long time. I can't breathe. Zhou Xuan arched his hands, brows beaming with joy, and continued to speak to him: "Zhou is here to congratulate the general. Zhuge Liang is dead, the enemy has been eliminated, and you can sleep peacefully from now on! Looking around the world, there is no one else It can be called your enemy!" Sima Yi's expression froze, he jumped up and grabbed his sleeve: "Senior brother Zhou! Regarding the news of Zhuge Liang's death, you must keep your mouth shut and never spread it to the outside world!" "This...why is this?" Zhou Xuan was shocked. "If the whole army hears the news of Zhuge Liang's death, they will definitely be excited, desperately urging the commander to raise troops to attack the Shu army. But what a powerful character is Zhuge Liang? He will definitely leave quite a lot behind him. The fierce rear move lured our army into a trap." Sima Yi stared at Zhou Xuan's eyes with a stern look, his face was surprisingly stern, "The fourth line of the Tongren hexagram that my commander occupied just now is exactly the word 'Cheng Qiyong, Foke Gong, Ji'. This happens to be the calmest reminder from God to me!" "Well... Zhou understands." Zhou Xuan nodded deeply. In the continuous autumn rain, Jiang Wei and Yang Yi led 20,000 troops back south to the rear of the Grand Army Palace, and slowly marched towards Hanzhong County.The four-wheeled cart was still carried in the team, with the Qingluo umbrella on it, but the wooden statue of the Prime Minister was sitting in the cart, still dressed in the feather fan scarf, crane cloak and soap belt, which seemed a bit angry . The luan bell tied around the neck of the mount vibrated crisply and sadly in the drizzle.Jiang Wei has come and gone on this road between Xiegu and Hanshui many times.He still remembered that half a year ago, when the sun was shining and the warm wind was blowing, he followed the prime minister and started the sixth Northern Expedition to Guanzhong with high spirits.And now... In the bitter wind and rain, peaches and chrysanthemums have blossomed, and things have changed—Jiang Wei only felt that the voice and smile of the person he was familiar with and respected was nowhere to be found. "I used to go, Yangliu Yiyi. Now I come to think, rain and snow. The road is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, I don't know I am sad!" I don't know what liquid flowed into Jiang Wei's mouth silently, like rain, tears and blood, with mixed flavors.Scenes flashed in his mind: Zhuge Liang stood up from the bed, looked at him and said solemnly: "Bo Yue, when the army returns to the south, you will lead the rear army..." Jiang Wei understood what this deployment meant, and replied solemnly: "Prime Minister, please rest assured. Wei will stick to it!" "At that time, Sima Yi will lead his army to chase after him. The barbed wire will not be able to stop him anymore, and you are naturally no match for him." Zhuge Liang said slowly, word by word as if from the depths of his chest Squeezing it out, "Then, you can push out the seated statue in its original form. Then Sima Yi won't make things difficult for you." "Really?" Jiang Wei asked in a hiss, wiping away tears. "Of course it's true." Zhuge Liang quietly closed his eyes and lay down gently, "Boyue! From now on, the strategy of our Great Han Heavenly Army will be on the defensive, just to protect the environment and the people. You must Remember! The common people can no longer stand the toss..." ... "Report—Master Yang, General Jiang, Sima Yi's army is chasing our army, and they are more than 20 miles away from here!" The scout flew to report, interrupting Jiang Wei's long thoughts. "What should I do?" Yang Yi cried out, her face suddenly pale. "Don't be afraid." Although Jiang Wei's heart was very agitated, the expression on his face was very calm, "Master Yang, please give an order immediately, let the rear army return to the front army immediately, all banners pointing north, and set up a gossip array When the enemy is approaching, line up thirteen cowhide war drums in front of the formation and beat together, and then push the statue of the prime minister forward, so as to bluff the bandits of Wei by pretending to be fake!" "Okay! Everything is according to what you said!" Yang Yi replied tremblingly, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, and hurried to the Chinese Army to implement and supervise these arrangements. Jiang Wei turned his mount and looked at the way behind him with a sad expression.Sima Yi has more than 100,000 troops, while the Shu army has only 20,000 troops in the rear—Jiang Wei himself knows very well that no one in Shu is an opponent of Sima Yi anymore, let alone Wei Yan and Ma Dai have left without permission. .However, Jiang Wei has no other choice.No matter what, he must do his best to stop Sima Yi, and he must not let him show his power, otherwise, how can he be worthy of the prime minister's dying entrustment! "Prime Minister! You have a spirit in the sky... bless my fellow soldiers!" Jiang Wei prayed silently in his heart.At this time, Liu Nuo, the deputy general at the side, seemed to see through his mind, patted his shoulder lightly, and said in a low and forceful voice: "General Jiang, it's fine, Sima Yi won't mess around." Jiang Wei looked at this enigmatic and mysterious leader of the prime minister's bodyguard, he was stunned, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly ordered the soldiers and horses of the Shu army to quickly deploy at the intersection.Through layers of rain, he could still hear the rumbling hooves of tens of thousands of cavalry.Could it be that the barbed thorns I planted along the way have completely failed? "Report-thirteen miles!" "Five miles!" Jiang Wei could even see a large banner with the words "Wei Zhengxi Governor Sima" flying out from the end of the plank road!His heart suddenly stopped, and he habitually turned his head to look for the prime minister who was shaking his fan under the canopy of Qingluo.However, there, what caught his eyes was the lifelike wooden statue, responding to him with a frozen eternal smile... Even so, "he" seems to have given Jiang Wei great comfort! Amidst the sound of rumbling war drums, Jiang Wei raised his gun and rode his horse, facing the puppet Wei soldiers and horses rushing forward, roaring out, just as aggressive as when he just broke out of the Xiegu Road half a year ago! The horses of Sima Yi, father and son rushed to the front, and they couldn't help being stunned when they saw Jiang Wei rushing out from the slanting stab! "Old thief Sima! You have fallen into my prime minister's trick again! Take your life!" His heart was full of pain, but his face was pretending to be an arrogant and arrogant smile.When he wanted to cry the most, Jiang Wei had to laugh out loud! He clearly saw Sima Yi pulling the rein of the horse in astonishment, reining in his mount, and looking straight behind him—it was the four-wheeled cart carrying the wooden statue of the prime minister surrounded by Shu soldiers, and there was another side flying high. The banner raised: "Han Chancellor Zhuge." Sima Yi watched all this from afar, with an indescribably complex expression on his face, making it difficult to see clearly.He raised his whip suddenly, and the tens of thousands of cavalry behind him stopped in unison!At this time, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Niu Jin, Hu Zun and others all applauded and approached him, clearly trying to persuade him to order to continue to kill him! After a short moment, Sima Yi suddenly made a move that almost made everyone feel unbelievable - he waved the whip in his hand, and ordered in a firm voice: "Zhuge Liang is cheating death! There may be an ambush ahead, I The army retreats at full speed and cannot stay for long!" His order was irresistible, and the generals of the Wei army scattered away from him angrily. The extremely well-organized formation of the Wei soldiers began to loosen and sway amidst the shouts from the Shu army's throats, and finally fell into chaos. They retreated like a swarm. But the moment Sima Yi turned the horse's head, he turned his head and quickly looked at the wooden statue of Zhuge Liang sitting in the four-wheeled cart. No one saw that there seemed to be tears in the corner of his eyes. Like a gust of wind, tens of thousands of Wei army cavalry just flew away in panic, flying away in panic without shooting a single shot. Looking at their backs fleeing away, Jiang Weitz stood beside the wooden statue of Zhuge Liang, and finally changed from choking and sobbing to crying bitterly.prime minister!Your legacy has worked again!Even the treacherous Sima Yi was frightened by your portrait... However, when all the brilliance and splendor are gone with you, how should we struggle to survive in the increasingly dark and mediocre? On the plank road in the mountain, the retreating Wei soldiers carried flags and dragged their spears, threw away their helmets and armor, and ran away one after another, very embarrassed. Sima Yi rode a bay red horse slowly on the muddy road, stared straight ahead, and remained silent.Master Sima seemed to be unable to restrain himself, and when no one was looking around, Da Ma approached his father and asked, "Father commander—then Zhuge Liang was indeed dead long ago! What we saw just now must be the same. Others disguise themselves, just like you did in the Upper Valley." Sima Yi remained silent. Sima Shi said again: "Whether it's true or false, you should have sent your troops forward to confront them. Alas! If we retreat today without fighting, we will definitely be caught by the political enemies in the court and make a big fuss, and even They will also make up rumors about the dead Zhuge scaring away the living Sima and ridicule you in every possible way. This will greatly damage your reputation!" "Master, listen. Wisdom is not enough to govern all things, benevolence is not enough to benefit all people, wisdom is not enough to illuminate all opportunities, majesty is not enough to destroy all difficulties, and merit is not enough to show off all generations. This is what I am deeply ashamed of. Apart from this, there is nothing that can make Wei father feel ashamed. If they want to ridicule Wei father, they have to let them go. As long as the real victory belongs to Wei father in the end, everything is insignificant!" Sima Yi Stopped the horse, turned his head to stare at him and spoke slowly.His expression was as deep as the sea, as calm as the sky, as if no wind or wave could disturb him a little. Sima Shi's lips trembled, he didn't dare to chatter any more. Sima Zhao also patted his horse from behind, and stood shoulder to shoulder with his elder brother. Looking at his father's solemn expression, he couldn't help holding back his breath and showing respect. Sima Yi stared at the two of them deeply: "Are you two brothers confident that they can beat Jiang Wei in military tactics?" Sima Shi and Sima Zhao looked at each other, and answered resolutely, "Yes." "That's it."
