Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 161
Jia Xu brought the green jade ear cup to her lips, and slowly took a sip—the taste of this "Zhuyan wine" is really wonderful, sweet with pungent, faint with fragrance, and the taste is extremely delicious. good.

"Master Military Advisor, Lord Sima has arrived." The personal guard waiting outside the door called softly.

"Very good, let him come in." Jia Xu slowly sipped the remaining wine in his mouth, and lightly ordered, "You all retreat to the gate of the courtyard—no one is allowed to come near and disturb him without the order of the military division." .”

In his slightly drunken vision, the tall and handsome Sima Yi slowly walked into the room.Jia Xu's mind fluttered and then suddenly retracted, still holding the cup in his hand, he greeted Sima Yi with a smile and said, "Mr. Sima is worthy of being a dragon and a phoenix among men. He gathers the talents of the world, and he has the opportunity of the world in his heart. Transcendence, it’s really beautiful and enduring!”

After seeing the ceremony, Sima Yi graciously sat down on the guest seat in his room, cupped his hands and said, "Master Military Adviser is absurd—I don't know why you suddenly called Yi here today, but what's your business?"

Jia Xu gently put down the green jade double-eared cup in his hand, and stared at him quietly: "Oh, Sima Jun, there is nothing important. This military advisor just wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you before returning to Xudu. , just chatting.

"Actually, Mr. Sima—you may not know that in the imperial court of Xudu, since the first year of Jian'an, no, it should be since the fifth year of Jian'an when our military division surrendered to Prime Minister Cao, he has been silently watching you. Apart from Prime Minister Cao, Xun Lingjun, Yang Shilang and others, this military advisor can be regarded as a very diligent person. Do you recognize Han Jian, the captain of the city gate school in the west city of Xudu?"

"Captain Han? I know him. He is Yi's old acquaintance and old friend."

"Han Jian is also a fellow of this military division in Wuwei County, Liangzhou. When this military division first arrived in Xudu, he talked about you with this military division. Back then, eight or nine hundred soldiers from Xiliang were preparing to raid your Linglong Valley." At the time of Yuan Xueyuan, it was you——Sima Jun, who was courageous, resourceful, benevolent and righteous, and went to the battle alone among the white swords. After some calm mediation, he persuaded these reckless people to submit to Prime Minister Cao... At that time, Mr. Sima was not yet at the age of weak crown, but you already possessed such superhuman courage and extraordinary strategy. At that time, my military adviser thought, as long as time is given, Mr. Sima will definitely "fly into the sky".

"Also, when you were serving as a planner in Hanoi County, you even devised secret strategies, succeeded by surprise, cleverly eradicated corrupt officials, and cut off Yuan's minions. 'A good story'. Later, my military adviser heard that you were unable to be appointed to the official position because of wind arthralgia, and I deeply regretted for you for a long time. You probably don't know that my military adviser also suggested that Prime Minister Cao send someone to carry you I also want to carry you to Xudu to be enshrined, so as not to waste your "talent of great potential". Therefore, this time, during the southern expedition to Jingzhou, Prime Minister Cao will appoint you as a soldier Cao to be in charge of Zhonglang and counselor for military affairs, and my military division is also on the sidelines. I strongly support it——Your Bingcao Engaged in Zhonglang's book was drafted by this military adviser himself. Sima Jun, you should be able to see that the attitude of Prime Minister Cao and this military adviser to you has always been the same as that of young people like Yang Xiu. Talent makes a big difference."

"Yi, I would like to thank the military advisor for your care and favor." Sima Yi bowed down on the seat and thanked him.

"But, Zhongda, why did you do that behind the prime minister's back and my military adviser?" Jia Xu changed the subject, and his tone suddenly became extremely sharp.

"Do...what?" Sima Yi showed a horrified and inexplicable expression.

"Why did you go against the entrustment of the military division, and did not forward to Prime Minister Cao the correct opinion on appeasement and kind treatment of the [-] seriously ill soldiers in the navy? Why did you mislead Prime Minister Cao to commit such a serious crime at such a critical step?" mistake?"

Sima Yi's heart beat wildly.This "storm" is finally here!It seems that Jia Xu has been holding back in his heart for so long, and finally suddenly attacked himself!He pretended to be shocked, and muttered, "Mr. Jia...don't you know how fierce General Xiahou and General Cao Chun were at that time? Even Lord Mao Jie secretly agreed with their thinking. It's just that he can't say it clearly. How useful is it for Yi to insist on his own opinion? With your status and status as a military adviser, you dare not stand up to them, let alone Yi?"

"Why can't you stand up? Prime Minister Cao is the lord of Kuang Dynasty, and he has always been kind! As long as your suggestions and opinions are correct, no matter how harsh, harsh, or ugly, he will listen to you! How could Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun's superficial views and rough knowledge interfere with him? Moreover, he has always been soberly aware of the serious consequences of massacring [-] seriously ill patients in one fell swoop, and you, as his Your counselors don't even have this responsibility?"

"This...Master Military Adviser, you really think highly of Yi. Yi is really a soft-spoken person. Besides, General Xiahou and General Cao Chun specially summoned Yi to the military tent to discuss for a long time. Yi also felt that they were 'scorpion' The idea of ​​poisonous stings, strong men breaking wrists is not useless. In the face of extraordinary disasters at extraordinary times, we should also have extraordinary means."

"Hmph! It is precisely because we are in the 'extraordinary time' when the navy and army are confused, and facing the 'extraordinary calamity' of the spread of the epidemic, we should have the 'extraordinary means' of calming down and soothing us! Sima Zhongda, what a wise and intelligent strategist you are, can't you even see this?" Jia Xu's eyes flashed coldly, and he slashed across Sima Yi's face with incomparable sharpness, " It is impossible for your knowledge to be inferior to that of Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun—unless you deliberately misled Prime Minister Cao to slaughter these [-] seriously ill patients and let Prime Minister Cao 'cut his own wings'! "

"Master Military Advisor, you are really an aggressive 'heart-killing theory'!" Sima Yi blushed, sweating all over his face, "How dare Yi have such a heart or thought? Report your three countermeasures to the Prime Minister?"

"Well... that's right, you passed on the three countermeasures of my military division to the Prime Minister. But the original words of the three countermeasures of my military division are as follows: First, please drink the 'Zhuyan wine' quickly, On the premise of keeping oneself safe and sound, personally visit the navy camp to condolences to the sick and reassure the army; secondly, please invite Prime Minister Cao to make a list of the world, offer a reward of thousands of gold, recruit famous doctors, and cure the epidemic together, and try our best to curb the continued spread of the epidemic; , to ensure the safety of water sources, pay attention to the monitoring of the epidemic situation, and implement separate camps for the land and water armies to prevent the epidemic from spreading ashore.

"However, you made a general statement in front of Prime Minister Cao: one is to ensure the safety of water sources, pay attention to the monitoring of the epidemic situation, and implement separate camps for the land and water armies; If there is a chance, I will personally visit the navy camp to condolences to those sick soldiers while keeping myself safe!"

Sima Yi was secretly surprised when he heard this - it seems that Jia Xu's search for his "flaws" in secret was deliberate and hardworking, and even the conversation between himself and Prime Minister Cao in the dormitory that day was completely "exactly" by him. Set" came out!Thinking of this, he was already shocked to the point of chills, he hastily gritted his teeth to suppress the panic in his heart, clenched his hand tightly, and firmly pressed the other hand against the edge of the guest table, but continued to listen calmly.

"Which of these three countermeasures is more important, which is more important, and which is slow and which is urgent, my military division has clearly explained it to you in my bedroom at the beginning-but when you relayed it in front of Prime Minister Cao, you deliberately changed things, put the cart before the horse, and deliberately confused The priority order of these three countermeasures puts the last countermeasure first and exaggerates it vigorously, drags the most important countermeasure to the end, and understates it, so as to interfere with the prime minister's correct decision..." The cold light in Jia Xu's eyes healed His hair was as sharp as a knife, "Sima Zhongda—tell me, why did you act so recklessly?"

"Sigh! Military Adviser, why are you so picky? When Yi told the prime minister about your three countermeasures that day, he might not remember the order of the three countermeasures you mentioned at that time, but Yi did not You didn’t cut them off and change them! Yi, however, relayed them to the prime minister! Even if Yi didn’t follow your instructions verbatim to clarify the priorities of the three countermeasures, the prime minister, as a Ge Shiyingjie, can't his own pair of eyes see which is more important, which is more serious, which is more urgent? How can you insist that it was Yi who acted recklessly?"

Sima Yi's words were soft and firm, and Jia Xu choked so hard that Jia Xu's face turned pale and she could hardly answer.

"Also, Mr. Military Adviser, please forgive me for saying it bluntly. There are some flaws in your first countermeasure—"My lord prime minister, on the premise of keeping yourself safe and sound, please come to the navy camp to express your condolences. Military spirit'. May I ask, who can guarantee that Prime Minister Cao will not be infected with the disease in the process of condolences to those sick and dead? Does 'Zhuyan Wine' have such a magical effect? ​​Does Doctor Hua Tuo dare to guarantee that? Gao Zhan Does the doctor dare to make such a promise? Can you, Junshi Jia, dare to make such a promise?"

As soon as Jia Xu heard it, he knew that Sima Yi was deliberately messing around, trying to muddy the pool of water—yes, the core content of Jia Xu's suggestion was to have "Prime Minister Cao visit the naval camp to comfort the sick and reassure the soldiers." Let Prime Minister Cao make a gesture of caring, valuing, and loving the sick and sick, so as to further unite the army and boost morale, which is "form is greater than content".As for which patients are arranged to participate in the condolence ceremony, do medical officials such as Hua Tuo and Gao Zhan have no idea?The big deal is to find a few healthy soldiers disguised as infected patients to accept his "kind condolences".As long as Prime Minister Cao wants to "keep himself safe and sound", he will be able to "keep himself safe and sound"—however, Sima Yi's "pretending to be crazy and acting stupid" made him a little speechless: this Sima Zhongda is really shameless Surprisingly thick.Sophistry makes people defenseless and defenseless.

He was silent for a long while, then suddenly smiled coldly: "What a sharp mouth! I admire this military advisor very much! That debater Jiang Gan, who is known as 'outstanding eloquence and unique in Jiangdong', is probably ashamed of himself compared to you." By the way, Sima Zhongda, my military advisor might as well tell you that Jiang Gan once mentioned inadvertently in a conversation with this military advisor that he could come up with the "smart plan" of the "serial boat", as if he had been taught by you beforehand. Your advice... Moreover, it can be seen that you are still unusually humble and self-confident. When you mention it, you are full of praise.
