Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 395 New 3 Kingdoms 35

"But, brother, how about we attack Jiangdong now? Sun Quan is unworthy of his position. This is God's chance for us!" Guan Yu did not take the people of Jiangdong seriously.

"General, you can't do that. Cao's army is eyeing us covetously and is ready to make a comeback at any time. Moreover, we are allies with Jiangdong. It would be unjust to send troops to Sun Quan after he expressed his intention to make peace with us."

Zhuge Liang was embarrassed to say that you only have a few soldiers and want to attack others. Although Jiangdong had abolished Zhou Yu, the army and junior officers were still there. There were only 10,000 direct subordinates on his side, and they were all landlubbers. They couldn't even cross the river, yet they wanted to attack others.

"The military advisor is right. We cannot do such an unjust act of betraying the alliance." Liu Bei stopped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from speaking.

"Jiangdong is interested in forming a marriage alliance, so you must go this time. But you must spread the news throughout Jiangdong so that everyone will know, so that Sun Quan won't dare to attack you for the time being. Then you can think about it carefully and find a chance to return to Jingzhou!"

Zhuge Liang knew that there were various calculations involved in this marriage. Since there were calculations, only a few people must know about it, so he made the matter as big as possible. This way, Sun Quan would have more things to consider, and the more flaws would be revealed if things were delayed long enough, and there would be more opportunities.

"In that case, military advisor, you discuss with Xianhe what I should do when I go to Jiangdong. Second brother and third brother, you must organize your troops and prepare to deal with Cao's army. If there is nothing else, just disperse and prepare for yourselves." Liu Bei gave the order expressionlessly.

"As ordered."

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were dissatisfied, they still had to listen to and do what Liu Bei said, but they could also gossip about others behind their backs. After the meeting, the two found a corner to complain because Liu Bei did not accept their suggestions on how to deploy troops in Jiangdong.

"Second brother, what is eldest brother thinking? Why does he...why does he listen to the corrupt scholar Zhuge Liang? We are his brothers!" Zhang Fei became angry when he looked at the empty yard.

"Why does Zhuge Liang want our lord to leave Xiakou and go to Jiangdong at this time?" Guan Yu muttered, frowning and stroking his beard.

"Yes! What did he want to do by tricking my eldest brother out?" Zhang Fei asked with his hands on his hips.

"When Zhuge Liang was farming in Longzhong, he called himself Sleeping Dragon. The dragon is a symbol of the emperor. I'm afraid he has his own thoughts!" Guan Yu thought for a moment.

"This Zhu guy wants to seize my eldest brother's legacy and proclaim himself emperor!"

Zhang Fei looked towards the meeting hall, drew his sword and was about to go over and chop someone down, but Guan Yu hurriedly held him back.

"Second brother, why are you pulling me here? Let me poke a thousand transparent holes in this Zhu guy!"

"Now the eldest brother listens to him and does what he says. Let's wait and see what he will do. We must not alert him."

"Okay! I, Old Zhang, will spare his life for now, but second brother, if he reveals his true colors someday, you must let me do it. I will poke ten thousand transparent holes in him with my own hands!" Zhang Fei reluctantly took back his sword.

"With us brothers here, Zhuge Liang can't cause much trouble." Guan Yu said coldly.

What does it mean to force something to happen when there is no hope? Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are just like that. They feel that they are invincible every day. No matter who their opponents are, they always feel that the opponents will be defeated as soon as they show their strength.

Not to mention that Zhuge Liang and Jian Yong were trying to prepare a betrothal gift for Liu Bei but were hindered by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, there were also a lot of dramas on Cao Cao's side. After Guo Jia's death, he was sad and depressed every day, leaving all the advisers and generals at a loss. In the end, Chen Qun recommended someone.

It is said that this person was smart and ambitious since childhood, well-educated, and devoted to Confucianism. His ancestor was a general who conquered the West, his great-grandfather was a governor of a county, and his father was the prefect of Jingzhao.

The famous scholar Cui Yan once praised this man for being smart, sensible, decisive and heroic.

Cao Cao said, after all this nonsense, who do you want to recommend?

Seeing that Cao Cao was so impatient and didn't want to be clever, Chen Qun quickly said that this guy was called Sima Yi and was a talented person, and it would be okay to ask him to be Guo Jia's substitute.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was skeptical and sent people to kidnap Sima Yi.

"You are called Sima Yi!"

Cao Cao didn't know that this guy was tied up like a dumpling, but he still maintained the same dead face as Liu Bei and was very unhappy.

"I don't know what Cao Gong wants to do by abducting me?" Sima Yi raised his head at a 45-degree angle without even looking at Cao Cao.

"Xu Chu, this guy's neck is too stiff, straighten it for me!" Cao Cao didn't expect to meet someone who was more pretentious than himself.

Xu Chu was a down-to-earth man. He stepped forward and kicked Sima Yi to his knees.

"My lord, since he likes to look up when speaking, I think it's good for him to use this posture so as not to hurt his neck."

"Hahaha, Xu Chu you are such a clever little guy. Someone, come here, to prevent Sima Yi from the trouble of kneeling and hurting his neck in the future, drag him away and chop off his legs, and then put him in a four-wheeled cart." Cao Cao clapped his hands and covered his stomach with his hands and laughed.

"My lord, my lord, Sima Yi is willing to serve you like a dog or a horse, and all I ask is to leave you with a pair of legs."

When Sima Yi saw that his personal soldiers were really coming up to drag him away, his neck became stiff and he just knocked on the ground to beg for mercy.

"Go down!" Cao Cao sat back in his seat.

"Sima Yi, with the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf? Remember, I, Cao Cao, am your master! I am the eagle and I am still the wolf!" Cao Cao said loudly, patting his chest.

"Sima Yi greets the master."

"Hahahaha, good! Someone, untie the rope for Tsukhu, hahahaha..."

Cao Cao felt that his show of power was effective, but Sima Yi, who was kneeling below, only felt that his life had been saved from the gates of hell. His pretensions were of no use in front of Cao Cao.

Yu Xian had not expected Sima Yi to appear in this way. He had previously thought about whether to go to the door with a knife and kill the Sima family. Now he could only let Cao Cao avenge his descendants in advance, but now was not the right time. He would wait until Sima Yi and Cao Pi colluded with each other before taking action.

It has to be said that after Sima Yi gave up his moral integrity to serve Cao Cao, except for his dead face, his performance in other aspects was no different from the Ten Attendants of the past, except that he had an extra thing under his crotch.

Sima Yi did what other advisers did not do; Sima Yi could also do what military generals did not do.

For example, in order to relieve Cao Cao's depression, Sima Yi found women for Cao Cao everywhere in the occupied area of Jingzhou. There was also the Cai family and its vassals who were purged by Cao Cao. The men in these families were executed or thrown into labor. Sima Yi personally took action to get all the beautiful women into Cao Cao's harem.

In addition to the families that Cao Cao had oppressed, Sima Yi did not spare other families. Cao Cao suddenly felt that it was good to be in Xiangyang, where every day was short and the sun rose high, and his subordinates could not find him when they had something to do.

All these shameless behaviors made Chen Qun, who recommended him, feel ashamed, and he also became a thorn in the eyes of Cao Ang and Ding.

Cao Cao was a nobody, but Cao Ang was a normal person. But there was nothing he could do about his father's mischief. He couldn't write a letter to his adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding, asking her to come and clean up the mess!

Every day I can only sigh with Dian Wei, hoping that nothing will happen because of this.
