I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 317 Love words with Sima Yi

Of course, Sima Division's actions were very low-key. The so-called mobilization of troops was just a review of the barracks in Sizhou.

Reorganizing the army was the first major thing Sima Yi did after eliminating his dissidents.

Because next, Sima Yi will further attack different voices.

However, Li Heng was not idle when Sima Yi was taking action.

In mid-February, Li Heng issued the "Comment on Conquering Sima Yi" to the world.

In Ji Han's eyes, Cao Wei was a thief.

In this appeal, Li Heng cleverly avoided Cao Wei's orthodoxy, but used etiquette to list Sima Yi's crimes to the world.

First, it was disloyal to send troops to occupy Luoyang privately without the permission of the lord Cao Fang.

Secondly, killing his own Shangguan Cao Shuang for no reason is unbelief and unrighteousness.

Sima Yi was not angry. Sima Zhao was angry. He angrily said: "How dare you, the little thief Li Heng, speak nonsense! Father, please give me 30,000 troops. I will go to Jingzhou to get the head of that little thief and present it to you." !”

This "Essay on the Conquest of Sima Yi" quickly spread in Jingzhou, causing shock to all parties.

First, he expressed his affirmation of Li Heng's talent. I have lived for more than sixty years, and I have never seen a young and promising young talent like you. You are even worse than Kong Ming at that time!

Third, it is unkind to arrest people and kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"You have to swallow it." Sima Yi said calmly.

Finally, he expressed that there were some misunderstandings between the two sides in Guanzhong. It was not me, Sima Yi, who wanted to fight. It was Cao Shuang who was trying to confuse the public with his lies in the court.

"Father……"

"Yes, we should do our own thing now and don't mess up." Master Sima said calmly, "Also, Li Jian is also very cunning. Write more letters and buy more new salt. At least for a few months , he will think that we want to do business with him, and when we mobilize the army and prepare heavy artillery, we will take back Xiangyang!"

Sima Yi closed his eyes and said nothing.

Sima Yi was silent for a moment, then opened his eyes and picked up his pen and said: "I wrote a few letters to Li Jian and told him that this was Wei Guo's own business. I still wanted to continue doing business with him and asked him not to meddle in his own business." ,The money we earn together."

"Then what will Wang Ling, Guanqiu Jian, and Zhuge Dan think when they see it?" Sima Yi's face darkened slightly, "I have to accept Li Jian's strategy. He can always find the most critical points, but since we Once you take power, you should no longer worry about what Wang Ling and Guan Qiu Jian think. We don’t have to guess what they think. We can just put in good spies."

Next, Sima Yi wrote another letter to Li Heng, crying in the letter.

On February 27, Sima Yi also saw Li Heng's message.

"Could father be able to swallow this breath?"

Then he expressed his interest in business, expressed his willingness to expand business routes between the two parties, and even promised Shu merchants to enter the Wei Dynasty, and the Wei Dynasty would ensure their personal safety.

At the same time, they also sent intensive messages to Sun Wu.

He also used private power to send messages to Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou and other places.

Now that he is dead, no one can stop world peace.

Ji'an, you must believe me, no one understands you better than me!
This is for the people on both sides and for the peace of the world!
After reading the letter, Li Heng was so moved that he almost shed tears. Unfortunately, he was shitting at the time and couldn't wipe his eyes conveniently, so he had to wipe his butt with Sima Yi's letter.

After wiping his butt, Li Heng also started writing a letter to Sima Yi. In his letter, he also expressed his admiration for Sima Zhongda, and even denounced Cao Shuang's injustice. He believed that Zhongda would really remove a great harm to the world by getting rid of Cao Shuang!
I, Li Heng, was the first to stand up and raise my hands in approval!
As for what Zhongda said about expanding border trade, that’s great!
Seeking benefits for the people of the two countries has always been our lifelong pursuit.

It was indeed a misunderstanding in Guanzhong before. Since Cao Shuang was the one who caused trouble, he really deserved to die.

Now that he is dead, no one can stop us from falling in love with each other!
As he wrote, Li Heng couldn't help but vomited, but he still insisted on finishing.

After writing it, he sent someone to Luoyang.

Then he turned around and went to review the army, publicizing that Sima Yi was about to mobilize his troops. Those wealthy families were trying to go south to recapture Xiangyang and turn everyone into their tenants.

The letter was delivered to Luoyang. After Sima Yi opened it and read it, he also vomited, but still insisted on writing a reply to Li Heng, expressing his sympathy for each other.

Then he turned around and went to review the army and conduct political propaganda internally. Li Heng, a little thief, incited the common people in Jingzhou to seize the fields of aristocratic families. Now he is trying to go north and turn Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Sizhou and other places into Like Jingzhou and Yizhou.

No matter how the relationship between Li Heng and Sima Yi plays out, the effect of Li Heng's rhetoric is immediate.

In mid-March, Wang Ling wrote a memorial to Luoyang, questioning Sima Yi's actions in Luoyang.

Wang Ling is not an ordinary person. In terms of age, Wang Ling is seven years older than Sima Yi. In terms of background, he is Wang Yun's nephew.

When it comes to political achievements, Wang Ling's political achievements can be written in a long list of different categories. When it comes to military achievements, Wang Ling also has a long list of military achievements that can be written down.

Moreover, Wang Ling was in Yangzhou and held Yangzhou's troops. Yangzhou was the place with the largest number of troops on Cao Wei's southern front.

Sima Yigang seized power and killed people. Although Luoyang was controlled and the officials in the court were reappointed, what about the local level?

You know, the Three Kingdoms period was not the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

As long as the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties controlled the capital, they could basically command the whole country.

At most, it's a matter of local government's positive attitude and negative attitude.

But during the Three Kingdoms period, if you control the capital, it is very likely that a person of the fourth generation and the three princes will appear, draw your sword and roar, and the eighteen princes will come together!
Therefore, when he received Wang Ling's letter, Sima Yi began to feel nervous.

At this time, Wang Ling did not want to rebel against Sima Yi. He also heard about Cao Shuang's exaggeration and believed that Cao Shuang was indeed unable to support the Wei Dynasty.

He simply raised some doubts about Sima Yi's behavior.

Sima Yi patiently explained his thoughts, expressing his helplessness from the empty treasury, to the depleted army, to the wanton accumulation of money by Cao Shuang's party members.

Finally, he also sent Wang Ling the letter about Cao Shuang's affair with the Han army in Liangzhou and the letter about his affair with Li Heng last year.

It doesn't matter whether those letters were written by Cao Shuang. What's important is that they are very similar to Cao Shuang's handwriting.

Wang Ling was loyal to Cao Wei. When he saw these evidences, he immediately cursed Cao Shuang and once again wrote to Sima Yi to express his thoughts, with a bit more admiration for Sima Yi in his words.

However, Sima Yi knew that the seeds of doubt had been planted in Wang Ling's heart.

Entering April, Li Heng continued to write sweet letters to Sima Yi, while paying close attention to various intelligence sent by the scouts, and began to mobilize elites.

He is ready to strike first!
