Chapter 290 "Life Winner"

"Cao's precedent?"

Liu Feng was slightly stunned and immediately realized.

Previously, although Cao Jian was quite suspicious of Sima Yi's "wolf and eagle vision", in order to attract the scholars and prove his desire for virtuousness, he finally reused Sima Yi to become the main book of the prime minister's mansion.

It was Cao Jian's seemingly insignificant trust in Sima Yi that finally gave this person a chance to take advantage of it.

Originally, the defeat of the Battle of Lejia was not enough to make Cao Wei completely defeat, but Luoyang's rebellion gave Cao Wei a fatal blow and cut off Cao Wei's way back to the north.

The bitter fruit of Cao Qian's "trust" in Sima Yi is in front of us. What Jiang Gan pointed out should be exactly like this.

In fact, there is no need for Jiang Gan to remind him, and Liu Feng also has a good idea.

Jiang Gan's words showed Liu Feng that he and Sima Yi were not in the same camp. The previous cooperation was just a stopgap policy.

"Ziyi, what you said seems to be negative Zhongda's entrustment to you?" Liu Feng said with a smile.

Jiang Gan was calm and said happily, "Sima Zhongda and others are all famous families in the Central Plains. They are disdainful to me and such Jianghuai people. If he didn't know that I had a relationship with Da Sima in those years, I wouldn't have let me go this trip. Therefore, I and Zhongda and others are not the same people on the same road at all."

So that's it.

Liu Feng pondered for a long time and asked, "Now that the Central Plains has been determined, the unification of the world is imminent. The most urgent thing to do is to gather the sages of the world to govern peace together, but I don't know what Ziyi has."

Jiang Gan did not shy away from it and said frankly: "Since the two Han Dynasties, foreign relatives, eunuchs and sergeants have fought with each other. Although it is a great scourge to the country, in other words, the three-party constraints have also avoided the independence of one side and the loss of the imperial power. Now the foreign relatives and eunuchs have been destroyed, and the scholars dominate the world. If the big Sima only wants to help the Han Dynasty, he can rule the world with the scholars and others. However, if the big Sima has other ambitions, I'm afraid he must be careful, so as not to create the foundation of hard work, and finally make wedding clothes for others.

Jiang Gan's words came to Liu Feng's heart.

When he first came to this era, he must not know the background of this era, but over the years, his knowledge has been far from comparable to that year.

As Jiang Gan said, it would be a great irony if he worked hard to win this great country and finally end up with Cao Wei?

Liu Feng smiled and said, "If I don't need scholars to rule the world, who can I use?"

Jiang Gan hurriedly said, "To govern the world, we need to use talents, and most of the talents come from scholars. This can't be avoided. I mean, Da Sima can change to a means of employing people."

"What means?" Liu Feng was curious.

Jiang Gan said slowly: "The Central Plains scholars have great power and deep roots. If these people are used to govern the government, it will be a disaster in the future. I think that the great Sima should use Jingyang scholars to govern the world."

Turn around, and finally turn here.

Liu Feng took a sip of wine and asked, "What's the reason for Ziyi's words?"

Jiang Gan said with great interest: "The great Sima rose in Jingchu, and the scholars of Jingchu naturally should be more loyal to the great Sima. And Da Sima once had a marriage relationship with the Sun family, and this section made Yangzhou scholars fall in love with Da Sima. In addition, Jingyang is located in the south, and the strength of the scholars is far less than that of the Central Plains. Da Sima uses Jingyang scholars, so he doesn't have to worry about the fall of power. With these two major benefits, I don't know what Sima thinks?

Jiang Gan's plan was not unreasonable, but Liu Feng soon saw that Jiang Gan's words were not all imagined for his Liu Feng, and I'm afraid it was also quite selfish.

Jiang Gan is a native of Jiujiang, and he is a famous scholar in Yangzhou. Now he suggested that Liu Feng should use Yangzhou scholars. Obviously, he is fighting for the interests of the scholars in his hometown.

Liu Feng is not stupid. He can see Jiang Gan's selfishness clearly.

"What Ziyi said is reasonable, but I would like to ask, if I use Jingyang scholars to rule the world, a hundred years later, the power of Jingyang scholars will expand to an unreachable level, isn't it exactly the same as the situation we are facing today? There is still no solution to what Ziyi is worried about."

Jiang Gan was stunned and said happily, "The things in the world are repeated, and this is the usual way. It is not easy for Da Sima to make a plan for a hundred years. As for what will happen after a hundred years, who can predict it?

Who can predict what will happen a hundred years later... After meditating for a long time, Liu Feng suddenly laughed.

##########Three days later.

According to Liu Feng's order, Sima Yi disbanded more than 10,000 miscellaneous troops on the front line of Chaoge as promised, and successfully handed over the Emperor of Han to Chen Dao and other generals.

Sima Yi, Jiang Ji, Wang Lang and other famous ministers who participated in the Luoyang change also obediently rushed to Liu Feng's camp to show their loyalty to the new owner.

Also in the big account of the Chinese army, Liu Feng greeted him affectionately and entertained this "meritious minister" with a big banquet.

Liu Feng finally met the legendary "winner of life" Sima Yi.

On the surface, this is an ordinary man who is not very outstanding.

Sima Yi's words and deeds are so respectful, and he can hardly see any sharpness from this person.

Moreover, in the dialogue with Liu Feng, Sima Yi praised Liu Feng's wisdom and martial arts from beginning to end, and did not mention his credit at all. As if he had no influence at all in the process of Liu Feng's destruction of Cao Jian and the Han Emperor.

A humble and low-key person, this is Liu Feng's first impression of Sima Yi.

However, Liu Feng is very clear that all this is a superficial disguise. Under that Gongqian's face, what is hidden is a city heart that no one can figure out.

Since the first moment he saw Sima Yi, Liu Feng has always reminded himself that he must not be deceived by this person's superficial illusion.

After a few politeness, Liu Feng asked with a smile, "I've heard that Zhongda is resourceful for a long time. At present, the world is about to be unified. There is only one Liu Bei left. I really want to hear what Zhongda has."

Sima Yi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Da Sima is flattered. There is no high opinion. There are some foolish opinions. I'm afraid that it will make Da Sima laugh."

Liu Feng waved his hand and smiled, "Zhong Da is too modest, but it's okay to say it."

Sima Yi then said, "The lower official thought that what the big Sima should do now should be to welcome your majesty and return to Luoyang, while sending troops to the north to collect Ji and You two prefectures, to frighten the Hu captives in the north, Fu Yiyue in the south, and the people in the south. After a year and a half of recuperation, when the soldiers' fighting spirit is restored, there will be enough food and fodder, and then send troops to fight against Liu Bei in seven ways, and the world will be determined in one fell swoop.

"Seven-way crusade against Liu Bei?" Liu Feng's interest suddenly agled, "I don't know which five ways it is?"

Sima Yi stood up and pointed his finger before walking to the hanging map.

"This first way is to send troops from Youzhou, go south to Yanmen, and launch an attack from the north to Bingzhou. The second way is to send troops from Jizhou and directly from the first line of Jingxing to Taiyuan County, the heart of the state. The third way, when the west of Hanoi to capture Hedong County, after the three-way army captures Bingzhou, they will meet again in Hedong and advance from the north to Guanzhong.

Sima Yi paused and then said, "The fourth way of soldiers and horses should be attacked by Hongnong and attack Tongguan from the road to Guanzhong. The fifth road starts from Wancheng and is attacked by Wuguan. These two soldiers and horses are the middle army and should be the main force to destroy Liu.

He was so unrestrained and gradually became excited.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As for the sixth way of soldiers and horses, they will come from Hanzhong, either through the Xie Valley, or take the old road of Chencang, and attack Guanzhong in the north. The Seventh Route Army took Qishan Avenue, captured Longyou, and cut off the contact between Guanzhong and Liangzhou, so that they could not take care of each other. These two soldiers and horses are for the South Road Army. Because the mountains of Shu are dangerous and difficult to attack, they should be a partial division that restrains the enemy's forces. These seven-way troops launched an attack on Liu Bei with an arc-shaped array from the north, middle and south. I believe that the soldiers of Liu Bei's three prefectures can't resist at all. It's right to rule the world.

Liu Feng was infected by his strategy and couldn't help but stand up. He stood in front of the map for a long time and couldn't help clapping his hands and shouting: "It's really a wonderful plan to attack Liu Bei in seven ways. Zhongda, what kind of stupid opinion are you? It's clearly a rare high opinion."

Sima Yi smiled faintly and said, "The subordinate is just talking nonsense. There must be omissions in it, which makes Da Sima and your colleagues laugh."

Although Sima Yi was modest, he did not miss the opportunity to "show" in front of Liu's cover to show his talent.

It's no wonder that being a minister is low-key, but you can't behave useless. If Sima Yi shuts up and pretends to be stupid, not only will not make Liu Feng feel at ease with him, but will Liu Feng think that he is deliberately hiding.

After all, if he were a fool, how could he betray Cao Yan and hijack Emperor Han at such a critical moment?

Liu Feng remembered Sima Yi's seven-way dispatch plan in his heart, so he promised to appoint Sima Yi Guang Luqing on the spot.

This Guangluqing is one of the nine ministers. In principle, he controls the garrison of the capital. Liu Feng's appointment shows his respect for Sima Yi.

In addition to Sima Yi, Liu Feng, such as Jiang Ji and other "meritious ministers", also gave a big reward. On the same day, he sent someone to draft the imperial edict and sent it to Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, to stamp it.

Sima Yi and others defected to Liu Feng for the natural interests. Liu Feng's reward made them satisfied.

Although these people first humbly refused, under Liu Fengjian's resignation, everyone still accepted the thanks of "respect is better than obedience".

After two days of the big banquet, Liu Feng personally sent Sima Yi and others out of the camp, so that they should go back to Luoyang first and prepare with Pang Tong to welcome the return of the Han Emperor.

At the time of parting, all the ministers were already on the road, and Jiang Gan also wanted to go on the road, but he was secretly left, saying that Liu Fengshang had something to talk to him.

Jiang Gan stopped at the camp gate. After a while, Liu Feng returned slowly. Jiang Gan came forward and asked, "I don't know what else Da Sima ordered?"

Liu Feng rushed to him with a secret smile and said lightly, "Ziyi, have you forgotten the conversation you and me before?"
