three kings

Chapter 287
The people in Chang'an City are rare, and the prosperity of the past has long since disappeared. The continuous war has left ten rooms and nine rooms in the city empty.Most of the residents have moved to other places, and the scene of prosperity a hundred years ago is no longer there.Seeing this scene along the way, Sima Yi couldn't help being deeply moved. Thinking of the majestic city wall outside Chang'an City, and looking at the desolate scene inside the city, he suddenly felt like falling from heaven to hell.

This time he brought only one entourage and entered Chang'an lightly, in order to seek the development of Yongzhou for Cao Cao.

Sima Yi looked in all directions and sighed slightly. The prosperity of Yongzhou had long since disappeared. Even if Yongzhou was captured without bloodshed, it would take several years of effort to govern it properly.

After walking for about half an hour, Sima Yi came to the luxurious Da Sima Mansion.

Da Sima is the title given to him by the national traitor Li Jue who forced Emperor Xian to give him the title after occupying Chang'an. After Emperor Xian was welcomed by Cao Cao, Li Jue still considered himself Da Sima and acted mischievously in Chang'an.

"Wait here, I'll ask Master Sima if he sees you!" A man who looked like a general said to Sima Yi, and walked into the back room without him.

After about an hour, Li Jue asked someone to invite him in.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw three people sitting as guests and hosts, eating and drinking in a big way.

The person sitting in the main seat is wearing gorgeous clothes and is tall, but very fat.One of the other two was wearing light armor, and the other was wearing Qiang clothes made of high-quality fur. They should be Li Jue, Guo Si, and Duan Yan, right?
Sima Yi secretly guessed.

Sure enough, the fat and tall man introduced the identities of everyone. The one in light armor was Guo Bang, the one in Qiang clothes was Duan Yan, and he himself was naturally the great Sima Li Jue.

Li Jue glanced at Sima Yi confusedly, and said, "My Sima has a heavy workload, so I'm sorry for keeping the envoy waiting for so long!" Although Li Jue said so, there was no apologetic expression on his face.

As for the "heavy business affairs" and so on, it is full of nonsense. If the business affairs are really heavy, how can they gather together to eat and drink leisurely? Obviously, these three people did not take him as a bare-bones counselor seriously, if they were not a bit jealous Cao Cao and Sima Yi have long been dragged down and beheaded by them.

The purpose of letting Sima Yi in was to put him under house arrest so that Cao Cao could be restrained.

Sima Yi didn't care about the attitude of the three of them, as if he had expected it long ago, he flattered each other and said goodbye: "Since the adults have something to do, I don't want to bother you. Let's leave for now, we'll talk about it later."

Li Jue, Guo Si, and Duan Yao were stunned for a while, seeing Sima Yi's unwillingness to disturb, the three of them were at a loss for what to do.

After Sima Yi left.

Guo Bang immediately yelled: "Damn girl. What business is he busy with? Could it be that this guy can't be seen that we are entertaining him? Is he really stupid, or is he pretending to be stupid and entertaining me instead?"

"Shouldn't it be obvious?" Duan Wei said hesitantly: "Sima Bada is also quite famous in Guanzhong. It is said that among the 'Bada', the most famous, capable, and resourceful is this Sima Zhong. Da. I don't think so simple things can't be seen."

Li Jue has always been the brains of Guo Bang and Duan Yan. Although the three of them can't get along, they will still join together to fight against the enemy whenever there is a foreign enemy.

Li Jue tapped his fingers on the table, his brows were slightly frowned. Years of enjoyment made this general who charged into battle, seized the flag and beheaded the general, and dared to challenge the flying general Lu Bu, lost his previous spirit, and stretched out his belly with difficulty. Said: "Cao Cao is not as powerful as before, but his strength is not weak. Judging from Sima Yi's greeting card, he came for an alliance. I don't think we need to fight Cao Cao. We should agree to his request. The two families live in peace. He is his chief minister, and we are our kings in Guanzhong, so we can enjoy each other, wouldn't it be beautiful."

This idea was unanimously approved by Guo Si and Duan Yan. Years of extravagant life had already sapped their ambitions. There is a place in Chang'an where they can spend a lot. Why bother to fight a bird war? Sheng, why bother!
Li Jue smiled slightly and said, "Then let's make this decision! However, we can't lose our momentum. How can we say that the peace army of the three of us is much more powerful than Cao Cao's? There is no need to compromise with him at this time." .”

Guo Si and Duan Yao nodded their heads in praise.

"Come... drink!" Li Jue persuaded the wine loudly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and secretly said in his heart: "If things can be done, Guanzhong will be my Guanzhong in the near future."

When Li Jue was around, Guo Bang was also muttering in his heart, "You, Li Jue, have schemes, but I, Guo Bang, am not a fool. I don't know how to take advantage of opportunities. Do you think it's easy to be stepped on by you everywhere? He The revenge you poisoned me has not been avenged, and soon, you will be doubled to repay it."

Duan Yan felt that the atmosphere was not right for a while, and seeing Li Jue and Guo Si sneer complacently, he felt very uneasy, because he was the weakest, and both sides wanted to annex him, so as to unify Guanzhong.Now, they are smiling so treacherously, have they already thought of a way to deal with themselves?
He was originally indecisive and suspicious, but he couldn't get rid of this idea. He became more and more afraid and panicked, and even broke out in a cold sweat.

If so, what should I do?No, you can't wait to die, you must take the initiative.By the way, if I get close to the big tree Cao Cao in advance, I believe that his ability will definitely guarantee my safety.

Thinking of this, Duan Yan heaved a sigh of relief, enjoying the delicious food on the table with a smile.

The three of them had their own ghosts and had no intention of drinking the delicious food, but after a while, they took their leave one after another.

Almost at the same time, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Duan Yao all secretly sent invitation letters and various treasures to Sima Yi, asking him to come over to tell him about it.

post station.

Sima Yi sat in the room and looked at the military book leisurely, and marked the key points with his own comments.

At this time, a guard came in and said, "I would like to report to Master Sima, Da Sima Li Jue sent jewelry and an invitation letter, please go to Da Sima's mansion to talk about it."

Sima Yi said with a faint smile: "Accepting the jewelry, I'm telling the visitor that I'm taking a bath and I can't receive him, so let him wait for a while."

After about a cup of tea time, the guard came in again and said: "Sir Sima, General of Chariots Guo Si, send jewelry and invitation letter, please come to the mansion of Generals of Chariots to have a talk."

Sima Yi still smiled and said: "I accept the jewelry, and I am telling the visitor that I am taking a bath and cannot receive him, so let him wait for a while."

After another cup of tea, the guard came in again and said, "I would like to report to Lord Sima, Taichangqing Duan Yan sent you jewelry and an invitation letter, please go to Taichangqing's mansion to talk about it."

There was a flash of light in Sima Yi's eyes, and he put down the book of war and said to the guards: "Go and repay the three of them, just say that the three adults have presented important gifts at the same time. The three of you come to the station to meet together."

The guard had to order him out.

Sima Yi smiled slightly, everything was under his control.
