Chapter 1885 Who loses and who wins?
In a study room in Sima Mansion, Sima Yi, who is now nearly 30 years old, has matured a lot. Back then, he was thrown into the army by Wei Zhongdao for training. He followed the army to attack Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan, and helped Cao Cao capture Qingzhou and Youzhou.
After several years, the sharp edges and corners have subsided and become more and more unfathomable. He frowned and looked at the impression in the void with a haze in his eyes. The five masterminds under Cao Cao's command all showed their power and were no weaker than him.
Sima Yi had a heavy look on his face, and his eyelids were slightly lowered to hide the unwillingness in his eyes. He knew that with these five masterminds around, he would never get ahead.
What's more, there is Zhuge Liang, who is younger. He heard that Cao Cao was deliberately recruiting him, which led to today's big battle. This person is about the same age as him. If he joins him, it will be more difficult for him to use his methods in the future, and he will feel even more unhappy.
A few points.
"There are so many heroes in the world, why not let them all fall into troubled times? Why should the world be stable and not give me time to grow up at all?"
Sima Yi lowered his voice and vented his dissatisfaction alone in the study. He understood that all this was because of the person who took action in the end, the first person under Cao Cao's command and the head of the civil servants, Wei Zhongdao. It was precisely because of his existence that
Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu in the first battle, then defeated Yuan Shao, and captured Jingzhou Jiangdong in the third battle. Only then did Cao Cao reach the current situation. Feeling that his terrifying and powerful mental power was so overwhelming that no one dared to move in the entire city, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
He sat down on the ground, regained his composure, and put away his unwillingness. With this person around, even Xun Yu's five masterminds couldn't act arrogantly, let alone him.
Cao Cao, the lord, awakened his lord talent, and naturally noticed the big commotion made by his advisers. His eyes were deep and dark, and he watched quietly. It wasn't until Wei Zhongdao took action to suppress the entire Xudu that a smile appeared in his eyes.
As long as he is here, there will be no chaos in the world, and many cities will be as peaceful as Mount Tai.
"How lucky I am to have Zhongdao!"
In Xu Shu's mansion, Zhuge Liang looked blankly at Wei Zhongdao who had stopped, with a very complicated look in his eyes, and said with some disappointment.
"You lose, I win!"
Wei Zhongdao leaned back slightly and looked up at the clear sky. The white clouds were curling up and the sun was shining brightly. He was in a great mood. He didn't care about winning or losing at all. He waved his hands and stood up and said.
"That's right, if you win and I lose, I will inform the Prime Minister and no one will come to disturb you again. From now on, you can live a leisurely life like a wandering cloud and a crane!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang's body shook slightly. He was only in his twenties now. How could he live such a plain life? Then why did he learn so much? It's not that Zhuge Kongming was arrogant. He dared to say that there was no one in the world except the one in front of him.
Wei Zhongdao's position is unfathomable. No one else can surpass him in talent. Even Xun Yu, who is known as the most talented king and Xiao He in his time, is not afraid of him.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang was in a trance and mentally shaken, Xu Shu's eyes lit up and he understood that Zhuge Liang was tempted, so he hurriedly said.
"Kong Ming, are you really willing to remain unknown and live in seclusion all your life? Your amazing talent has been wasted. Now that the world has not yet been unified, it is time for you to show your talents. If the world is stable, then you will really have no chance to stand out.
It’s the day!”
There was a bit of light in Zhuge Liang's eyes, with a look of unwillingness, and his expression kept changing. After a long time, he sighed and said hoarsely.
"I lost, but I can't accept it after all. Wei Taichang is really good at it! Without saying a word, he disturbed my heart and hit my Achilles heel. I didn't lose unjustly!"
At this time, Zhuge Liang realized why Wei Zhongdao would abandon his son and admit defeat. Even if he suppressed Xu Ducheng, he would never have time to worry about the chess game. In this chess game, Wei Zhongdao did not put the outcome on the chessboard from the beginning.
, he had already made up his mind to admit defeat.
Only when Wei Zhongdao lost the chess game and allowed Zhuge Liang to win, and there was no need to serve as an official in this life, would Zhuge Liang find in his heart that he was unwilling to be ordinary and his mind was shaken.
Wei Zhongdao glanced sideways at Zhuge Liang, who was convinced. There was a bit of smile in his eyes, his expression was slightly upright, he took steps towards the outside of the house, his lips were slightly opened, and he once again gave Zhuge Liang a step, making your face
It looks much better.
"I will inform the Prime Minister that if Liu Bei surrenders in the future, he can be spared. This will be regarded as honoring the name of Kong Ming's loyalty!"
Zhuge Liang's expression straightened, he bowed and saluted Wei Zhongdao's back, and thanked him loudly.
"Thank you, Mrs. Wei, for your support!"
Wei Zhongdao kept walking, just raised his hand and waved, followed closely by Zhao Yun, leaving Xu Shu's house and heading towards the Prime Minister's house.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was the original Sikong Mansion. Now it has been expanded and is even larger. It is like a small palace, with many pavilions, rows upon rows, and beautifully carved beams and painted buildings.
In the meeting hall, Cao Cao was sitting in the upper seat, and Wei Zhongdao was sitting below him. The two were drinking tea and chatting with each other, which was rare. After a cup of tea, Cao Cao asked.
"Did Zhuge Liang surrender?"
Wei Zhongdaodian nodded, with a calm expression, and put down the tea cup in his hand. Because he loved drinking tea, Cao Cao never cooked tea soup in his house, but changed it all to making tea. What goes above and below is effective, and now tea has become popular among many people.
In the capital, it was especially loved by the literati, who believed that this light drinking method was very consistent with their status.
"Um!"
Cao Cao showed joy on his face. He had admired Zhuge Liang's talent very much before. Today, the Bagua formation lay across the top of Xu Capital City with terrifying power. Cao Cao understood that this was a great talent who was not inferior to Xun Yu. He asked
Virtue is as thirsty as it is natural to covet it.
"Okay, okay! Zhuge Kongming has a great talent. Now that he joins, he still needs to make arrangements!"
Cao Cao frowned slightly, remembering the previous scene where the five major conspirators wanted to join forces to suppress Zhuge Liang. He felt a little hesitant in his heart. Zhuge Liang was a newcomer and could not surpass them in terms of seniority. However, he had great talents. If he could not make reasonable arrangements,
, it is a waste of talent, and it will make Zhuge Liang feel uncomfortable.
"How does Zhongdao think it is best to arrange Zhuge Kongming?"
Wei Zhongdao leaned back and hung his head, looking a little lazy. Hearing this, he glanced at Cao Cao and said casually.
"This is a simple matter. The Prime Minister is already old and is now in his fifties. He has reached the age when he knows his destiny. Why not leave someone available as an arm for Mr. Zixiu!"
Cao Cao's expression moved slightly, and he sighed, with a hint of loneliness on his face. This meant that Wei Zhongdao dared to say that Cao Cao was too powerful now, and even Xun Yu did not dare to say that Cao Cao was old and did not have much time, so it was better to train him.
Isn't it taboo for a son to take over?
"What Zhongdao said is true. In this case, I grant Zhuge Liang the title of Prime Minister Dongcao and follow Zixiu!"
