"Father, according to your instructions, the list of guests attending the banquet has been prepared. Please take a look." Master Sima handed the list to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was sitting on a short couch and taking a nap. Listening to Master Sima's words, he just raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Just make up your mind. As a father, you can rest assured that you can do things."

"I will obey my father's instructions in everything, don't be extravagant or extravagant, and act in a low-key manner."

Sima Yi nodded and said: "My son can think so, and I am very happy as a father. I heard that the full moon banquet at Gaolinghou Mansion a few days ago was extremely luxurious and flamboyant, and half of Luoyang City was shocked. But with this

thing?"

Master Sima said calmly and calmly: "My child has also heard of it."

Sima Yi stared at him, as if he could see through his heart, and said slowly: "Master, as my father knows, this matter is still a hurdle in your heart. After all, this is also a humiliation for our Sima family. Originally,

She is the daughter-in-law of our family, but she is inheriting the incense of someone else's family. It cannot be justified either emotionally or rationally. But those who achieve great things will not care about these small details. There is no need for a real man to have a wife. When you succeed in the future, women in this world will

, it’s not just up to you to take whatever you want.”

Master Sima said calmly: "My child has forgotten all this a long time ago. Why should I care about such a despicable woman? What I'm worried about is that if Cao Liang is promoted to the governor of Bingzhou this time, I'm afraid

It will become a roadblock and stumbling block for our Sima family to achieve great things, so we have to guard against it."

Sima Yi's expression also became much more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "My father has known countless people in his life, but this time he really made a mistake. He originally thought that Cao Liang was just a son of the clan who was greedy for beauty and only knew about sensuality.

I didn't expect that he would perform so well in the Battle of Huainan and Hanzhong. Recently, he defeated the Xiongnu and solved the siege of Jinyang. The most terrifying thing is that the army he led was from the north, which was regarded as useless.

The Fifth Military Academy cultivated a dilapidated army that could not be reused into a powerful army. This is Cao Liang's real excellence. My father really underestimated him back then."

Sima Yi spent his whole life hunting geese, but was pecked in the eye by the geese. This incident really made him quite depressed.

When I first met Cao Liang, he was just a small Yu Linlang. At that time, Sima Yi had already become famous and was at the peak of his power. As a Taiwei and an auxiliary minister, he did have a close relationship with Cao Liang.

Don't.

In Sima Yi's eyes, Cao Liang was no different from those unusable members of the Cao clan. In order to compete with Sima Master for a woman, he even went so far as to have a fight with the Sima family. Sima Yi naturally saw such a foolish young man.

If you have too much, you won't be able to become a great weapon. This was a label Sima Yi put on Cao Liang at that time.

Isn’t she just a woman? Why not give it to you?

In Sima Yi's eyes, a mere woman is nothing. His Sima family doesn't have to fight with a dandy from the same clan to the end. What you get is just a woman, and what our Sima family will get will be the whole world!

However, the subsequent development was far beyond Sima Yi's expectations.

If Zhuge Jin was killed in the Battle of Huainan, it can be said that Cao Liang was lucky, but the subsequent Battle of Hanzhong became Cao Liang's performance, fully displaying Cao Liang's military talent.

But if Cao Liang's achievements in the Battle of Hanzhong were based on the powerful Wei army, the suppression of the Bingzhou rebellion once again subverted people's view of Cao Liang.

The recruitment of the five schools of the Northern Army for the Northern Expedition was considered by many people, including Sima Yi, as an incredible thing. The five schools of the Northern Army had been abandoned for many years, with lax military equipment, neglected military discipline, and no combat effectiveness at all.

Drilling also takes time, but Cao Liang brought the five schools of the Northern Army and the newly recruited troops onto the battlefield.

I thought that Cao Liang would be able to defeat the Huns who were several times larger than the Northern Army's five schools, but in just three or four months, Cao Liang actually advanced with great success and defeated the Huns.

Incredible!

This is the only thing Sima Yi can say to describe Cao Liang. Cao Liang's almost dream-like performance can only be described as incredible.

Sima Yi believed that even if he was in his prime and leading such a broken army, he would not be able to achieve such a victory.

This is also the reason why no one has touched the five schools of the Northern Army for so many years. Others feel that it is a bit unlucky not to lead the five schools of the Northern Army on an expedition, but even to get closer to them.

But Cao Liang actually dared to do this, and it was a great success, which was naturally shocking.

Nowadays, Cao Liang has risen like an arrow. In just a few years, he has gone from Yulinlang to Bingzhou governor, and has become a feudal official who controls one side.

As a member of the clan, Cao Liang was a close confidant of Cao Shuang. Now that he was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou, he undoubtedly posed a threat to the Sima family's affairs.

It seems that certain means must be used.

Sima Yi said: "The defeat of the Xiongnu is irreversible, but outside the fortress, there is another grassland army roaming, that is, the Xianbei people. If you want to curb Cao Liang's development, you must rely on the strength of the Xianbei people. The division

Son, you can send people outside the fortress to spread the news that Cao Liang will attack Xianbei. The Xianbei people will be deeply troubled and go south to Bingzhou to compete with them. Once the Xianbei people enter Bingzhou, Cao Liang will be very busy in the next few years.

If we don't take things into consideration in Luoyang, we can make arrangements calmly and no longer have to worry about anything."

Master Sima showed a hint of joy and said: "Father, if the Xianbei people come to invade, Cao Liang will definitely be in dire straits. This can be said to be a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves."

Sima Yi said: "You must handle this matter very secretly, and you must never let anyone know that this matter is related to our Sima family, so be careful."

Once the foreign affairs here were leaked, it would be very detrimental to the reputation of the Sima family, and Cao Shuang would also seize this opportunity to deal with them. In such troubled times, Sima Yi naturally acted cautiously, at least not giving his opponents any chance.

"Kid, please keep this in mind, please rest assured, father." Master Sima said.

The first heavy snowfall in the first three years seemed to come a little late, but the snowfall was so heavy that overnight, the entire northern country fell into darkness.

In these twilight years, this sudden heavy snow has brought a lot of inconvenience to people who are preparing to celebrate the New Year. The severe cold dominates everything.
