Sima Yi felt that he had been very successful all his life. Even though his elder brother Sima Lang had outstanding talents, he was the most intelligent person in the family. Everyone praised him and praised him for his talent.
Now, he feels sick.
Zhang Xiu is the same age as him, so it's better than him. Pang Tong is the same age as him. He is already a Shangshu under Zhang Xiu's command. That's all. After all, Pang Tong was born early and had a chance. He was short of chance.
Yang Xiu is also so powerful.
Sima Yi's heart even gave birth to the idea that it is not appropriate to go out today without seeing the Yellow calendar.
But Sima Yi's psychological quality was excellent. He soon adjusted his mind and said again, "listen to my elder brother, let me follow the general. Just before that, I have three questions. "
"That's the second thing."
Sima Yi looks serious.
This is the second mace he prepared.
If Zhang Xiu's answer satisfies him, he is willing to become an official, to be Zhang Xiu's follower, and to follow Zhang Xiu.
If he is not satisfied, he will not be in office.
This is Sima Yi's idea.
In fact, Sima Yi's mace was to ask about the cavalry of Xiongnu. It was to prepare to use cavalry to make Zhang Xiu difficult. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong and Yang Xiu under Zhang Xiu's command had already solved 10000 Hun cavalry.
Zhang Xiu light way: "Zhong Da has three questions, but say no harm, this will be all ears."
Sima Yi said, "first, what does general Zhang think of the people?"
Zhang Xiu thought quickly in her heart.
What about the people?
In the final analysis, this question is from the perspective of Zhang Xiu, asking Zhang Xiu how to treat the people.
Zhang Xiu thought for a while, then said: "what the common people in the world want is the simplest. It's nothing more than food and clothing. As long as this can be achieved, the world can be governed in a great way. "
"Throughout today's world, not to mention people's food, clothing and warmth, they can't even live a safe life in their hometown. Countless people have left their homes and been displaced everywhere. "
"People are displaced, some people die on the way, some people choose to become bandits."
"The world is in chaos."
"If the people are not stable, it will affect the whole world."
"The whole big man is in turmoil."
Zhang Xiu said with great eloquence: "to sum up, the boat is the king, the water is Li Shu, and the water can carry the boat and overturn it! If the people are upset and unable to live, the country will be unstable and the country will be overthrown. "
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
When Sima Yi heard this, her eyes were bright.
"The boat is the king, the water is the common people, the water can carry the boat, also can overturn the boat!"
"It should come to light!"
Sima Yi mumbled to herself, very excited. However, after Sima Yi was excited, she suddenly realized that she was inquiring about Zhang Xiu at this time. This move just now was a little too excited.
Sima Yi put away the smile on her face and continued: "General Zhang's reply really brightened my eyes. But I have a second question
Zhang Xiu was amused to see Sima Yi's smile put away.
Sima Yi is trying to give him the upper hand.
I didn't expect to hit the iron plate.
But when Sima Yi heard Zhang Xiu's answer, she was very happy. Maybe this is the answer Sima Yi wanted, but he didn't think of it himself, so he asked Zhang Xiu.
After Zhang Xiu said the answer, Sima Yi was suddenly enlightened, so that she suddenly laughed and praised.
Zhang Xiu said, "what's the second question?"
Sima Yi once again said, "my second question is how does general Zhang treat civil servants and military generals?"
Zhang Xiu answered directly: "in my general's view, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, it is a human being. The sages once said that pro virtuous officials are far from treacherous and sycophantic. This is a popular saying. "
"But it's also true."
"With bronze as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; with people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses."
"Civil servants and military generals are all human beings, but they are even more human mirrors."
Zhang Xiu looks confident, said: "with civil servants and military generals as a mirror contrast, the monarch can not be mistaken."
Sima Yi's eyes were shining.
His heart soared with joy.
Zhang Xiu said it very well.
He just said what he thought, but he had some ideas before, but in fact, he didn't organize the language well. Zhang Xiu's words completely explained his intention.
Sima Yi was very happy and said again, "my third question, how should you be?"
Zhang Xiu said: "how to be the Lord, or how to be the Lord, the sages' elaboration is numerous. But as far as Zhang Xiu is concerned, I don't think it's good to be small but not good, and evil to be small but not evil. "
Sima Yi was intoxicated.
He praised Zhang Xiu's third answer, the Lord has many choices, but Zhang Xiu's words, but from a small point, let Sima Yi feel in Zhang Xiu's shrewdness, also in Zhang Xiu's tact.Sima Yi was completely convinced.
He stood up, folded his hands, bowed respectfully to Zhang Xiu 90 degrees, and solemnly said: "Sima Yi, I'd like to see my Lord. I'm willing to urge him. I don't regret my life and death!"
Sima Yi is loyal to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu showed a smile on her face.
He knew that he had passed the test of Sima Yi. In other words, he convinced Sima Yi with three answers.
Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "get up. From today on, you will be the chief of the general, and you will follow the general."
"Here it is
Sima Yi arched her hand and answered.
At this time, Sima Yi was no longer proud, but modest. Because Sima Yi found that both Zhang Xiu and her subordinates were full of talents. They were just like hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Zhang xiudao said: "go back and clean up. When Huang Zhong arrives, our army will go north."
"Here it is
Sima Yi gave a reply.
After that, Sima Yi turned and left.
Sima Yi left the camp and soon returned to Sima's home. At this time, Sima Lang is still arranging family affairs, because Sima's family will move to Chang'an, involving many things.
Seeing Sima Yi, Sima Lang asked, "Zhongda, didn't you go to see the Lord? Why are you back so soon? "
Sima Yi said, "I'm going to go out with my Lord."
"Eh!"
Sima Lang raised his head with a look of astonishment on his face. He immediately got up with joy and said, "I heard that you are going out in the morning and are going to make trouble for your master. Coming back so soon, I am convinced by my Lord. "
After hearing this, Sima Yi laughed awkwardly and said, "my Lord, I have far-reaching wisdom. I am willing to follow and serve my Lord. "
Sima Lang was a little curious. What did Zhang Xiu and Sima Yi talk about? They made Sima Yi, who always had eyes above the top, so docile and easy to talk.
However, Sima Lang did not ask more.
It is also a good thing for Sima Yi to follow Zhang Xiu.
Sima Lang didn't pay attention to Sima Yi any more. He arranged for his servants to pack up and prepare to leave Wenxian. At noon, when everything was finished, Sima Lang arranged for the old housekeeper to stay at his ancestral home.
Then he asked Sima Fu to take the rest of his brothers and leave Wenxian for Chang'an.
Sima Lang and Sima Yi put things in order. They went out of the house and went to the barracks. Sima Yi wants to follow Zhang Xiu, while Sima Lang goes to say goodbye to Zhang Xiu.
He is going to Hongnong county.
