Chapter 822(1/2)
As for Lu Bu, he is actually quite easy to coax. Lu Bu is not Sun Ce. He is not the kind of person who insists on doing anything and refuses to listen to others' advice.
Reluctance to bring more people is basically non-existent, because once Sima Yi coaxes him, Lu Bu is eager to bring more people to show his majesty. Therefore, there is no aggressive behavior at all, or any behavior of taking risks alone!
For this reason, Sima Yi is actually particularly worried!
If you are really the kind of person like Sun Ce who is self-absorbed, has big ideas, and refuses to listen to advice, then you will really have a headache!
Having big ideas without culture! That’s really going to kill you!
That's the only good thing about Lu Bu. He doesn't have any big opinions. As long as you have appropriate opinions, he will listen to you and I guarantee you will. He has no fixed and rigid stance at all.
This kind of person, as a courtier, is really like a grassroots person!
But if he is a lord and listens to villains, he is a fool; but if he listens to virtuous ministers, he is a proper Duke Huan of Qi. Duke Huan of Qi has no other talents, but he is actually a very soft-hearted person.
No matter what villain he is, as long as he praises him, he is guaranteed to lose his mind, but there is one thing about him that is particularly good. No matter how good the villain's words are, as soon as Guan Zhong opens his mouth, he guarantees that no matter what his original attitude is, he will change it immediately!
Duke Huan of Qi had two noble men in his life, one was Uncle Bao and the other was Guan Zhong!
Uncle Bao said that Guan Zhong could be used. He listened and obeyed. He let Guan Zhong go and made him his prime minister.
When Guan Zhong was alive, he always listened to him and valued his opinions. This was how he became one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period!
This Lu Bu also has some of these characteristics. Although there are times when he is stubborn and unable to lose his head, most of the time, as long as we understand his personality characteristics and smooth them out, he is actually very easy to coax and serve!<
/p>
Therefore, Lu Bu went with a thousand elite cavalry, because Sima Yi told him that the lord is the lord of Xuzhou, and he will dominate the north in the future! It will frighten the great heroes of all races outside the pass, and how can the great heroes leave the city without
Be prepared!? Not only must we have civil preparations, we must also have military preparations. This is standard equipment. This is the pomp of a great hero. Otherwise, how can we show our majesty?! Is that right?! Even if you are carrying a flag, you must have a flag camp.
People, let the people know that Lu Bu is coming?!
Entering the mountain, the horse's hooves clattered, and the formation was laid out. Even the beasts were frightened by the lord's power. The elk, pigs, and rabbits were all afraid of the lord's tiger power, and they would willingly throw themselves under the lord's arrows. Their legs were so weak that they even forgot to run.
Got it!
With such flattery, Lu Bu was at the mercy of Sima Yi and could lead people as he was told. He was definitely not that arrogant, but it saved Sima Yi a lot of worry.
Therefore, he did not go, but stayed in the city to sit in battle!
He also came with a purpose, which was to conquer Hanoi. Not to conquer Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang is Zhang Yang. Just because he surrendered to him alone does not mean that the whole of Hanoi has surrendered!
Therefore, Sima Yi’s task is also heavy.
For example, the people around Zhang Yang have different opinions and what is happening in the city is clear to him!
But he was unmoved by the wind, waiting for the wind to come and destroy him, but he actually got the wind he wanted to wait for!
As soon as Lu Bu left the city, he received a lot of messages from people who wanted to see him. He flipped through them and said: "...most of them are people with whom I have had some contact in the past. These people should be treated coldly and avoided. They also want to see more people."
Make a bet, and you will have insurance in the future. If there are really important things, it is unreliable to rely on them. Most people will act according to the wind!"
Most aristocratic families are like this. Whichever one is more powerful, just please that one!
Now I am coming to see Sima Yi. To put it bluntly, it is just an old friendship, and then it is equivalent to buying insurance. It is nothing more than spending a small amount of money. If it is really used, it will protect the whole family. If it is not used, it is just for fun.
Peace of mind!
So what Sima Yi means is that his attitude is ambiguous, like Yi but not like Yi. He doesn’t respond clearly and refuses clearly, so that’s fine!
The civil servants under the account all know the appropriateness here, so they all comply!
A scribe was stunned for a moment. A letter fell out from among several greetings. After reading it, his expression changed and he said: "...This!"
"What happened!?" Sima Yi noticed that their expressions were wrong and said: "You can speak frankly!"
"I don't know who included this post among these greetings. On it..." A scribe looked unnatural and slightly panicked. He glanced at Sima Yi and said uneasily: "...he wrote some unpleasant words!
”
Sima Yi's expression was dull, and he took it over and took a look. It read: A fox pretends to be a tiger, and a dog relies on human power! If the world is like Sima, morality will be completely abnormal! If you don't act like Sima Yi, you may violate the laws of heaven and be punished by heaven!
Sima Yi looked at it, but his expression was fine. Although there were fluctuations in his heart, it was not to the extent that others could see it.
What he was more concerned about at this time was the attitude of the people around him. Seeing how cautious they were, could it be that they still subconsciously thought that he was resentful of Lu Bu?!
This is not a good thing!
It goes without saying how strong Sima Yi's psychology is. The psychological quality of ordinary people is that when they see this, they will lose control, even get angry, and even express their anger. But this is not the case for him. The first thing he thinks of is why the people around him
Do you think he cares so much about this?!
He has begun to weigh things up in his heart, and how can he make them think that he is not actually unbalanced in his heart?
And if they show that they don't care at all, it will be distorted and make them think that they are unfathomable and remain calm even if their hearts are turbulent. This is also not a good thing!
For a person who remains silent and unmoved in the face of slander, it is conceivable that the people around him will be on guard against him, and it is inevitable that they will even distance themselves from him.
Because this can already define him as a terrible person. A terrible person is an enemy on the battlefield, and may also be an enemy force in the court in the future.
Therefore, how to balance this is what Sima Yi needs to do.
Life is like a play and requires acting skills. Even if he is a person with a particularly strong psychology, he has expected the slander and is not affected by outsiders at all. At this time, he still needs to show some human fragility, which can arouse the resonance of everyone.
To benefit the future!
In just this moment, Sima Yi had already thought through all the pros and cons!
I also quickly made quick decisions and judgments in my mind.
A person who has no emotions and flaws at all will arouse fear and make people defensive. How to attack the heart and control the heart within a controllable range is also what he must do to benefit the future.
Make things easier.
He has to show that he has no resentment towards Lu Bu. He has to show a little bit of human weakness to truly convince people!
Sima Yi then sighed: "Killing can only be done with a nod of the head, but these people have to kill their hearts even if they want to kill people..."
After saying that, he sighed and put down the note sadly.
When the scribes saw him like this, they breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: "If this note slips in, someone must be obstructing it. Military advisor, do you want to investigate?! As long as you investigate, you will be able to find out the culprit quickly!"
Sima Yi thought for a moment, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with what this note said! My Sima family has indeed attracted some people's resentment. I am originally from Hanoi, but I abandoned Hanoi and went to Xuzhou. There is some criticism.
It's normal. I, the Sima family, have indeed disappointed them. If the lord is the tiger and Yi is the fox, there is nothing wrong with this description! The glory of the Sima family is always inseparable from the lord. The Sima family
I have lived in Hanoi for generations, but after moving out, I came to Hanoi with my lord. I didn’t want to go back to my hometown, but instead showed my majesty. This is no different from a fox pretending to be a tiger. It is normal to be scolded by them!"
The scribes couldn't bear it and said: "How can they know the pain in the hearts of the military advisors? The military advisors are kind-hearted and don't want to go into details. It's just that the military advisors are yearning for old feelings. If others come here, they may not be able to protect them. It's all.
The military advisor endures the humiliation and bears the heavy burden, but they don't appreciate it. Instead, they are resentful. The military advisor repays resentment with kindness, that is what a true gentleman is! If you don't mind your own stigma and don't go into it, what is this if not justice?!"
Does Sima Yi really not care?! Of course not.
But is it important to dispel their inner defenses?! Of course not!
Which one is more important, he knows very well in his heart.
In this life, few people can truly live a willful life based on their emotions. That’s why people like Lu Bu are said to be in the minority?! Not everyone can be as lucky and asshole as him.
The most important thing now is to dispel their doubts, and of course he cares about this criticism, but the result of caring is that he has to digest it slowly behind his back.
He was very powerless and angry. Going to Xuzhou was not what he wanted, but of course when he chose to give in, there were also times when he was unwilling to do so. Some people still said that he relied on the power of others and pretended to be powerful. Is it surprising that he felt better?!
However, is venting useful?!
Sima Yi is a very sober person, and it is naturally impossible for him to indulge in some inappropriate and existing emotions and intensify himself, and ultimately make self-destructive actions or choices.
What should you do if you encounter such a thing?! It’s nothing more than knocking out your teeth and swallowing blood. Whether it’s bitter or cold, only you know! Everyone knows it without the need to publicize it!
Times like this will happen frequently in the future, and not just in Hanoi.
Sima Yi smiled and shook his head and said: "It won't do anything if you scold me a few times. Just bear with it. It's just a little uncomfortable for a while. Over time, you will get used to the scolding. There are many people in the world who scold the Lord. From now on
There will be many people scolding me for waiting. You all should be more open-minded!"
All the scribes laughed and said: "Anyone who encounters such a thing will naturally be on par with military advisors!"
"More than this, what worries me more is whether there are other purposes behind these notes!" Sima Yi said.
Everyone was shocked and said: "Could it be that the military advisor thought that Xu Du was taking action?!"
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Zhang Yang is surrounded by unknown idiots. Who would have such a strategy?! If there was such a city, Zhang Yang would have been dead long ago. Therefore, this letter is a kind of push. I am afraid that Cao Cao's people are here."
Pushing Yi and Hanoi to fall out and settle scores!"
But even if he wanted to do this, he underestimated Sima Yi's endurance!
Besides, Cao Cao doesn't care that people in the world call him a traitor to the country. After becoming a eunuch, he, Sima Yi, is almost the same?!
I really underestimated him.
"So, the purpose of this letter still lies with the Lord!" All the officials immediately understood!
People in the Cao Group must also know that Sima Yi cannot rebel against Xuzhou and Lu Bu. But I bet that his mind is not the kind to tolerate these people who challenge his majesty. So they bet that he will settle accounts with the people in his hometown.
If it fails, we can also test Sima Yi's tolerance level.
This letter became an act that killed three birds with one stone.
No matter what, this letter is not in vain!
Sima Yi acquiesced.
To be continued...
