Chapter 13 First Meeting Sima Yi

This pair of bronze camels has a long history. According to legend, they were cast by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to commemorate the opening of the Western Regions. They are three meters high, exquisitely crafted and lifelike.

Of course, the first place where the bronze camels were placed was not in Luoyang, but in Chang'an. After Cao came to the throne, he overhauled the city of Luoyang, so the pair of bronze camels moved from Chang'an to Luoyang.

Because the copper camels were tall and heavy, just transporting them along the way consumed countless manpower and material resources and took up to half a year, which was a waste of life and money.

After the bronze camel was moved to Luoyang, it was placed outside Changhemen, so the street from Changhemen to Xuanyangmen was called Tongtuo Street, which was the most prosperous place in Luoyang.

Cao Liang entered the palace through Sima Gate and tied his horse to the horse-tying place inside the carriage gate.

The palace that Yulin Lang guards every day is not fixed. After the order, Cao Liang was assigned to be on duty in the Kowloon Front Palace. But coincidentally, Cao Liang's partner today is still Yulin Lang Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong greeted Cao Liang with a smile, and after a night's rest, it seemed that Zhang Tong was in good spirits. Zhang Tong was about the same age as Cao Liang, and he was also in his early twenties. The young man's energy was indeed very strong, so

I'm afraid that after a full day's work, I'll be able to recover after just one night's rest.

"I heard that His Majesty's condition worsened again last night. The imperial doctors have been waiting outside Jiafu Hall all night, and they are very nervous. I'm afraid His Majesty will have a hard time today." Looking around, Zhang Tong lowered his voice and said.

Cao Liang said.

This guy had a lot of gossip, and Cao Liang was really impressed by him.

Cao Liang gave him a few words of support nonchalantly, still thinking about Cao Tuogu in his mind. Now the team of Minister Gu Ming has been basically determined, that is, the two-man auxiliary government structure headed by Cao Shuang and assisted by Sima Yi. Originally,

The auxiliary administrative team composed of Cao Yu and five other people decided by Cao Cao is probably already in trouble.

This is probably the result of Liu Fang and Sun Zi coming to the palace yesterday to remonstrate.

On the surface, this seemed to be the case, but after Cao Liang met Cao yesterday evening, he had another idea.

Can Liu Fang and Sun Zi really convince Cao?

Cao Liang was deeply skeptical about this.

Even if it was only a short contact, Cao Liang already had a clear understanding of this wise emperor. Cao was a very independent person. If Liu Fang and Sun Zi could really be fooled by a few words, then Cao Liang's posthumous title

It’s time to change it, it’s no longer worthy of the title Ming Emperor.

Cao Liang believed that no matter what decision Cao made, it was the result of Cao's careful consideration.

Even if he finally decided to use Sima Yi as his auxiliary minister, it must have been Cao Cao's repeated consideration. There were forced reasons, and it was definitely not a whim.

Where is Sima Yi now?

According to historical records, after receiving the imperial edict, Sima Yi took a chariot and traveled day and night, from Baiwu to the capital, a distance of more than four hundred miles, all in one night.

I bet Sima Yi worked hard enough to get the upper hand. He was already over 60 years old and traveled four hundred miles in one night. It was really a miracle that his old bones didn't fall apart.

While Cao Liang was thinking, he kept glancing in the direction of the parking door from the corner of his eye.

"Here it comes!" He whispered secretly when he saw the shadows of cars and people moving inside the parking door.

"Who is here?" Zhang Tong asked in confusion. He also followed Cao Liang's gaze and looked toward the car door.

"The one who should come!"

Zhang Tong was even more confused as to what the person who should come was. He felt that Cao Liang's speech today was strange, and Cao Liang's expression was extremely cold, his eyes were deep and expressionless.

Not long after, surrounded by ministers such as Liu Fang, Sun Zi, Jiang Ji, and others, a veteran with white beard and hair in military uniform appeared in the front hall of Kowloon.

No need to guess, he is Sima Yi, the Taiwei who just returned from the victorious campaign in Liao Dynasty.

In this expedition to Liaodong, Sima Yi changed his sloppiness in fighting on the western front, used superior troops and thunderous means to defeat Gongsun Yuan in one fell swoop.

What is Jingguan? It is a high tomb built in ancient times to show off martial arts, gather enemy corpses, and seal the earth.

After Sima Yi conquered Xiangping and killed Gongsun Yuan, he did not rush back to his army. Instead, he slaughtered more than 7,000 men over the age of fifteen in the city, piled up their corpses, and built a Jingguan.

This violent method is not in line with Sima Yi's always low-key character. According to Sima Yi's report to the court, it was to "shock the local area and demonstrate military power." But what Sima Yi really wanted to shock, I am afraid only he himself knew clearly.

This is the first time Cao Liang has seen Sima Yi. Although Sima Yi is already in his sixties, with gray beard and hair, he is energetic and does not look old at all. His face is very thin, with prominent cheekbones and sharp facial lines.

It is like a knife cutting an axe, a sense of vicissitudes of life.

What impressed Cao Liang the most was Sima Yi's pair of eyes, which were as deep as autumn water, as sharp as a cold pool, and as sharp as an eagle. Even a casual glance would give people a chilling feeling.

It stands to reason that after a long night's journey, he should be exhausted and his face should be full of fatigue at this moment. However, although Sima Yi was tired from the journey, he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he was full of energy and full of energy.

Sima Yi obviously knew the purpose of returning to Beijing this time. He had endured it all his life, and now it was finally time to stand out. The big scene in life had just begun. It was not too late to be excited, so how could he be tired and tired?

His eyes swept across Cao Liang and Zhang Tong. The pressure from the superiors made Cao Liang and Zhang Tong feel a lot of pressure. Fortunately, Sima Yi quickly moved his eyes elsewhere indifferently. Perhaps in his eyes

Here, these Habayashiro are just like ants, and they are not taken seriously at all.

At this moment, Sima Yi's most urgent thing was to see Cao. Although he knew that Cao had a plan to appoint him as Minister Tuogu, he would not feel at ease for a day without official certification.

There was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

Because of this, he rushed through the night for more than 400 miles and rushed back to Luoyang. The purpose was to see Cao Cao one last time and take over the scepter prepared by Cao Cao.

Zhang Tong secretly glanced at Cao Liang, seeming to say, didn't you stop the Zhongshu Supervisor Liu Fang and the Zhongshu Ling Sun Zi yesterday? Let's see if you still have the courage to stop Sima Yi today?

Cao Liang couldn't help but secretly complain, this guy Zhang Tong is simply cheating people to death without paying for their lives. Is it possible to fight against Liu Fang and Sun Zi yesterday in the same way as against Sima Yi?
