Wang Ling is several years older than Sima Yi. In terms of family background, seniority and achievements, Wang Ling does not seem to be much worse than Sima Yi, but in terms of current status, the two do not seem to be on the same level.

Sima Yi was the assistant minister of the government. At that time, the imperial tutor, in terms of status in the court, was only second to the chief assistant minister, General Cao Shuang. He had a high position and was looked up to by everyone.

Wang Ling's status is much inferior. He is just a feudal official on the Mu Shou side. Although he has the power to take charge of military and political affairs in Huainan, this power is limited by the imperial court. If the imperial court is not satisfied at all,

, you can take back his power.

If it weren't for Cao Shuang's full support this time, Wang Ling might not be able to sit in this position. Even if he did get this position, he might not be able to keep it.

Not to mention, Sima Yi planted a thorn in the side of Yangzhou Governor Sun Li in Huainan, which made Wang Ling's Huainan governor extremely unhappy.

Therefore, at this banquet, Sima Yi and Wang Ling had their own agendas. Although they seemed to be in harmony on the surface, they actually had their own agendas and agendas.

Even the conversation between the two of them was just a cliché. It would be a waste of effort to find anything valuable from the conversation between the two.

People become wiser with age, and trees become strange with age. The combined age of Sima Yi and Wang Ling is over a hundred and several decades. They have lived for many years and experienced all the hardships in the world. If both sides want to find out the other's true identity, then

Isn't it an easy thing?

However, the atmosphere of the banquet was very lively. Seventy-eight out of ten people attending the banquet were generals on the battlefield. Most of them had straightforward personalities and exposed their heroic spirit. After these three glasses of wine, no one could stop the chatter.

When marching and fighting, the first thing to abstain from is alcohol. Therefore, in the past six months, those generals who like to drink have been suppressed. Now that the war is over, they can finally drink to their heart's content. Many people are preparing to get drunk and then rest.

What didn't fit in the overly lively environment was Master Sima sitting alone in the corner.

Master Sima took an arrow in his left eye. Although it was not fatal, his left eye was completely blind. After returning to the camp, the doctors removed the arrow from his left eye. However, due to the bleeding and pus in his left eye, the doctor

The craftsman had no choice but to remove his eyeballs.

Without his left eyeball, Master Sima completely lost his handsome appearance and became hideous and terrifying. In order to cover up the disability of his left eye, Master Sima had to wear a black eyepatch. In Cao Liang's opinion, Master Sima

The master actually looks a bit like a pirate captain.

Due to Sima Shi's fake death, Sima Yi successfully plotted against Zhuge Ke and broke through the Jiashi Road. It can be said that it was precisely because of Sima Shi that the Wei army achieved a great victory.

If we talk about rewards based on merit, Master Sima did a remarkable job.

It's just that Master Sima would rather not take this credit than get his eyes back.

But it's a pity that this idea is just a thought at best, and there is no way to do it. Even the best doctor in the world can no longer save his left eyeball.

Master Sima declined many people's invitations and sat alone in a deserted corner. While others were drinking happily, he drank to drown his sorrows.

This is the first time Sima Shi has appeared in public in several months. Ever since he was injured, he has been like a wounded bird, curling up in his nest and never wanting to see the world again.

Although the injury had long since healed, Master Sima, who had become inferior because of it, hid and did not want to see people. He did not want to face people's pity or ridicule, and preferred to hide alone and lick his wounds.

If it weren't for Sima Yi's order, Master Sima would not have appeared in this crowded place today.

Sima Yi was very worried about Master Sima's increasing depression. Although Master Sima injured one eye, it did not affect his vision. Although the sight of one eye was narrower, he could still see the scenery he should see. Sima Yi

I don’t want Master Sima’s vision to become narrower and his mind to become narrower.

Therefore, Sima Yi specially ordered his men to invite Master Sima out to participate in this banquet, so that he could have more contact with people and regain his confidence.

Although this did not happen overnight, Sima Yi hoped that Master Sima could cheer up as soon as possible. He still needed medicine to cure his heart ailments.

However, Master Sima lived in isolation and was always depressed.

His eyes were cast on Cao Liang, who was chatting happily with the people around him not far away, and an unknown fire suddenly rose in Master Sima's heart.

Cao Liang, the person he hated so much, tried every possible means to kill him, but in the end he was still alive and kicking without a single hair being injured, but he was left with many scars.

I'm blind, this thief is so unfair!

Master Sima drank the bitter wine, and all his past experiences flashed back in front of his eyes. Ever since he met Cao Liang in Beiman Mountain, Master Sima felt that his previously smooth life had turned around and became unlucky.

Things happen one after another, one thing after another.

On Beimang Mountain, Master Sima was given a brand new shiny cuckold by Cao Liang. What made him even more depressed was that he still had to wear the cuckold.

For the benefit of the family, he gritted his teeth and endured it, but Cao Liang still refused to give in. On his wedding day, he snatched his bride away in public, causing him great shame and humiliation.

The greatest hatred in life is the hatred of killing his father, and the second is the hatred of taking away his wife. If Master Sima does not hate Cao Liang, it is pure nonsense. No one can let go of this kind of sworn hatred.

.

It's just a matter of losing the bride, but Sima Shi also suffered a lot of jail time. If this matter had nothing to do with Cao Liang, Sima Shi would dare to twist off his head and use it as a chamber pot.

Based on his understanding of Xia Houxuan, Master Sima believed that it was impossible for Xia Houxuan to do such a thing. He thought about it and found that only Cao Liang could do such a thing, and in order to snatch away Yang Huiyu, Cao Liang

It was completely unscrupulous. Only if he made trouble behind it, he could not escape this disaster.

Master Sima finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge. Xia Houxuan and Cao Liang fell into his hands. He must let them taste the feeling of not being able to survive but not to die.

The Battle of Anfengdu was a poisonous trick devised by Master Sima. Unfortunately, it backfired. Instead of killing Cao Liang, Cao Liang was lucky enough to kill Zhuge Jin, which was a great achievement in vain. Master Sima has done this to this day.
