Entering Pengcheng, the officials of Cao Wei who turned against each other and the gentry bowed to greet Liu Yu.

What surprised Liu Yu was that except for Sima Yi who escaped from Pengcheng with Cao Pi, the others were all in Pengcheng. Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, and seven others, including Sima Lang, Sima Fu, Sima Kui, Sima Xun, Sima Jin, Sima Tong, Sima Min, and Sima Yi's son, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and others who were only a few years old. Moreover, they were all captured by the officials of Cao Wei who turned against him, and were present under Liu Yu at this moment.

Liu Yu looked at the Sima family members tied below, and he tapped the wooden desk in front of him from time to time, thinking about something.

After a while, Liu Yu asked the old guy Sima Fang and said, "I am confused. Anyone can see the previous situation. The destruction of the Cao family is unstoppable, and Cao Pi is not popular with the people and the people hate it. Why don't you turn against everyone and abandon secrets and become a follower of the Oro?"

Sima Fang said seriously: "If you serve the master, you will be loyal to the master. The Sima family has no tradition of turning against others. I am deeply ashamed of those who turn against others."

The other Sima Lang and seven others, along with Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, were both looking upright and arrogant.

It is really a good family of loyalty and righteousness. Any monarch likes such a family and hopes to be loyal to such a family.

Liu Yu smiled strangely, and no one could understand the meaning of his smile. Even Sima Fang, the old guy who had been paying attention to Liu Yu, could not understand it. He could only frown for the invisible in confusion.

Only Liu Yu knew his heart, he did not believe in the Sima family's seemingly loyalty and righteousness, and even ridiculed him. If the Sima family really seemed to be as loyal and righteous as it seemed, they would not have lost three generations in history and usurped the Cao Wei territory. No, it should be four generations.

From the generation of Sima Fang, the Sima family's ambitions were no less than any princes in the world, Sima Yi's generation, Sima Zhao's generation, to the fourth generation, Sima Yan finally usurped the world successfully, which took decades. What a tenacious belief.

He had his own calculations in his heart. Liu Yu did not praise the loyalty of the Sima family as Sima Fang and others planned. After the Sima family performed like this, he ordered without expression: "Prepare the Sima family members first, and then deal with Sima Yi and Cao Pi!"

When they were taken down, Sima Fang and others were a little shocked because Liu Yu's attitude was far from their plan, so it shouldn't be like this. If anyone hadn't been Liu Yu's reaction, how...

The old guy Sima Fang felt even more nervous. He felt that things were completely beyond the prediction, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of panic that he could not grasp the future.

...

In a valley more than a hundred miles northeast of Pengcheng, Sima Yi and more than 300 people protected Cao Pi here.

Sima Yi handed a kettle to Cao Pi and said, "Your Majesty, drink some water."

Cao Pi was moved, took the kettle and said, "I have fallen to this point, but Zhongda is still loyal to me, I am ashamed!"

Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty does not have to do this. If you serve one lord, you will only be loyal to one lord. You will definitely protect Your Majesty to Qingzhou."

Because Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu led a total of 20,000 Qin army cavalry to chase and kill, and the Qin army cavalry was divided into dozens of strands and searched like a carpet, so Sima Yi and Cao Pi did not dare to walk on the main road or even ride horses. Therefore, they only walked for a day, but they were more than a hundred miles away from Pengcheng. From this point of view, it is probably not difficult to reach Qingzhou in less than seven or eight days.

Cao Pi did not notice that he did not know any of the more than 300 people around him except Sima Yi. However, these more than 300 people were obviously dominated by Sima Yi. He, the so-called "emperor", was not only embarrassed, but also majestic. The so-called lonely man is like Cao Pi now.

Is Sima Yi loyal to Cao Pi? I thought too much, Sima Yi has never been loyal to Cao Pi, and even Cao Cao. The only thing Sima Yi is loyal to them was their Sima family!

When the princes were competing for Lu, the Sima family might not have become a prince and participated in the competition for Lu. With the Sima family's power in Wenxian, they formed an army of 10,000 or 20,000 from the beginning. It was not difficult to fight the world with Sima Yi's strategy, but the Sima family did not do that. It was probably because of Sima Yi, Sima Lang and Sima Fang and other fathers who made many plans and concluded that at that time, there were not only the powerful Dong Zhuo, but also the Yuan brothers of the four generations and three dukes, Chen Liu.

Cao Cao, who was the foundation of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, had Sun Jian, Liu Yu and others who were the most famous in the world. There were too many powerful princes. The foundation of the Sima family was the Central Plains and the place of four battles. The Sima family raised its own army, which was far less than when the princes had only a few left, the Sima family chose another one to assist and slowly penetrated. Even if one generation was not good, two generations were poor, three generations would be able to succeed. At least the success rate was higher than that of the one they had.

Therefore, the Sima family endured Yuan Shao's defeat, and only five princes in the world were left with Cao Cao, Liu Yu, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan. Later, after careful calculations, Sima Yi decided to conclude that Cao Cao would definitely fail in the southern expedition. At that time, there was also such a conclusion that except for Liu Yu, there was only Zhuge Liang in the world.

Sima Yi did not expect that after Cao Cao's defeat in the Red Cliff, Liu Bei took the opportunity to quickly rise into a prince, but Sima Yi and his son did not take it seriously at that time. Cao Cao occupied 50% of the world and was still the most promising person. Just then, Cao Cao had only an old Cheng Yu left by Cao Cao. If the Sima family followed Cao Cao, with Sima Yi's strategy, the Sima family would quickly enter the center of Cao Wei and gradually grasp the military and political power. The best time for Sima family to choose their masters was here.

Things were just as the Sima family father and son thought. After Sima Yi took office as Cao Cao, he quickly gained heavy attention with Cao Cao with extraordinary strategies, and many Sima family members also obtained official positions.

However, what Sima Yi and his son did not expect was that Liu Yu's rise was too fast. After conquering Yizhou in a short time, he fiercely swept away Hebei Ji and Youbeng Three Prefectures, which made Cao Cao unable to withstand it and lost territory repeatedly, and his potential plummeted.

It was even more unexpected that Sima Yi's strategy was not enough to help Cao Cao turn the world around. In this way, the Sima family chose Cao Cao's wrong choice when he took advantage of Cao Cao's great damage and his lack of talented talents.

Or, King Liu Yu of Qin was really too evil. Not only were the most powerful generals in the world recruited, but he had to nail horseshoes, wear cow's noses, iron stirrups, and many political acts, the rapid recovery of the people's livelihood population and the rapid expansion of strength were simply something that a wise ruler could not do. Liu Yuquan did it. Not to mention the Sima family, even if he was united with Zhuge Liang, who was also a great genius, could not compete with him.

Sima Yi can only say that time is fate, and he will never be seen as a hero like Liu Yu in the ages.
