Chapter 309 Hexagram

Sima Yi's hometown is Xiaojingli, Wen County, Hanoi County.

There are more than a hundred households here, and more than 70% of them have surnames named Sima.

Almost all the local arable land is in the hands of the Sima family, and all other non-Sima families are tenant farmers. In other words, this is the territory of the Sima family.

The location of a family power that has been in operation for a long time.

The 150,000 troops led by Wu Fan were combined with the 50,000 troops brought by Tian Feng, the prefect of Hanoi who had been waiting in Wen County, making the total force reach 200,000. Such troops could turn the entire Wen County into pieces, and there was no way to mention a small filial piety.

Due to the expedited documents written by Wu Fan, high-level entry and exit controls were implemented throughout Hebei, especially in the surrounding areas of Bingzhou; no matter whether they are in the official position or in any reason, they were not allowed to leave or enter the four prefectures of Bing, Si, Ji and You.

If you want to make an exception, you will not be allowed by Wu Fan, or you will directly declare war with the entire Second Legion and win.

In order to arrest Sima Yi, Wu Fan applied the power in his hands to the extreme for the first time.

Such strict entry and exit controls are at least unprecedented, even if they are not the last. Even after Sima Yi took Cao Pi hostage and fled back to Xiaojing Home, although he had the idea of ​​secretly fleeing elsewhere, he ended in failure.

...

"Dingling..."

Four copper coins fell into a simple and heavy bowl. After turning it for a few turns, they lay at the bottom of the bowl.

The old man with white hair and beard glanced at the copper coins at the bottom of the bowl, shook his head slightly, looked up at Sima Yi and said:

"All directions and eight vertical lines have been sealed, and their momentum is like an iron tube. Zhongda, you have nowhere to escape."

There are many people in the Sima family. In terms of the current filial piety, many of the Sima clan members have one or two skills. For example, the elders in the clan in front of them have divination skills, and at this time, Sima Yi requested to divine for him.

Of course, Sima Yi is the only one who has more than 20 skills like Sima Yi.

Sima Yi frowned and did not respond. After a while, he spoke with a serious expression:

"Please make another note, how long can I live? On which day will I die?"

Upon hearing this, the old man grabbed the four copper coins and flipped his hands above the bowl. The four copper coins rolled and fell into the bowl. After another round of rolling, the four copper coins lay steadily at the bottom of the bowl.

The old man glanced at it, his eyebrows couldn't help but frowned, and he raised his eyes to Sima Yi and said:

"Zhongda, your life is over, and your life is only today."

Sima Yi was shocked when he heard this. After a long time, he asked in disbelief:

"Elder, is there any inaccurate signs of your hexagram?"

The elder shook his head and said:

"I have very few divinations in my life, but the hexagrams will definitely come true every time."

The expression on Sima Yi's face turned cold. However, a strange light flashed in his eyes. To be precise, it was a kind of light with excitement and his emotions were completely inconsistent at this time; he said to the old man:

"Since the elder's hexagram is so accurate, please ask the elder to make a divination. Let's make a divination... Can Wu Fan escape the disaster today? What day is the day of his death?"

The old man said that Sima Yi's fate was today, and he didn't have to think about it, he must have been killed by Wu Fan. So Sima Yi thought of his next plan for Wu Fan, and asked the old man to dig a divination in advance so that he knew it.

The old man grabbed the copper coins and turned his hand over the Yu Yu bowl again; Sima Yi stared at the four falling coins without blinking. Because very much, these four copper coins would tell him whether Wu Fan would die in his hands today.

However, when four copper coins fell into the bowl of desire, to be precise, after the first three copper coins fell into the bowl of desire, the latter copper coins hit the edge of the bowl, making a tingling sound, and then bounced and landed on the ground.

Sima Yi was stunned and looked up at the old man. The old man looked surprised, as if he had seen something strange in the world.

"Elder, what does this mean?"

Sima Yi saw that the elder had not responded for a long time, so he had to ask.

However, the elder still looked at the copper coin that fell on the ground and murmured:

"Unpredictable, unpredictable..."

"What's unpredictable?"

Sima Yi asked again.

The elder looked up at Sima Yi and said:

"This person is extraordinary, and his fate is not controlled by heaven and earth. Even the divination of all things in the world can be measured, but his fate cannot be measured."

Sima Yi was immediately annoyed when he heard this, and shook his sleeves and said:

"Wu Fan is only a martial artist for a time, so his life cannot be controlled by heaven and earth? It is obvious that you are old and weak, your hands trembled, and even the copper coins fell outside the bowl of desire. Wouldn't it be enough to test it again?"

When the old man saw Sima Yi suspected his divination skills, he couldn't help but feel a little displeased and said solemnly:

"The divination is not a dice to make fun. Don't say that I didn't shake my hands. Even if my hands tremble, these four copper coins will definitely fall into the bowl. The reason why the copper coins fall outside the bowl is that God is warning me that I cannot transcend the realm of divination. Otherwise, I will have the worries of life."

Although Sima Yi did not have divination skills, he also understood the taboos of divination. After hearing what the old man said, he suddenly realized it. But he was unwilling to let it go: his destiny was calculated only today, while Wu Fan's destiny became uncontrollable by heaven and earth; how did this balance his mind?

There was nowhere to vent my anger in my heart. Sima Yi's eyes fell on the bowl of desire. The more I looked, the more I felt angry: Why can I calculate my fate but not my fate? Why can I defeat me everywhere? Why can I, Sima Yi, do everything, but I was always defeated by Wu Fan? Why is this? Why?

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Sima Yi felt. He picked up the bowl of desire, threw it hard with his back hand, and smashed it to pieces with a snap.

Then, Sima Yi left angrily. The old man looked at the fragments of the desire bowl all over the ground and sighed deeply.

After returning home, Sima Yi was like an ant in a hot pan, either sitting or standing or walking back and forth in the house several times. At this time, a servant happened to pass by outside the house and went to deliver food to Cao Pi.

Sima Yi stared at the servant's back for a while, then walked out of the house and followed the servant to the wing room where Cao Pi was placed under house arrest.

Seeing Sima Yi suddenly appear in the mouth, Cao Pi's numb eyes showed no emotion. He lowered his eyes and picked up the dishes and ate as if no one was around.

But when he was eating, he just kept squeezing the rice into his mouth, and did not stretch out his chopsticks to pick up the food, choking, and had no appetite for the fish and other dishes on the table. He obviously had some thoughts in his pretentious indifference.

The servant set up all the food and retreated. He was stopped by Sima Yi at the mouth of his mouth. He leaned into his ear and whispered a few words. The servant then left.

Sima Yi came to Cao Pi and knelt down across the table without a stool. The Han people knelt on the table and watched Cao Pi eat. When Cao Pi finished a bowl and was about to serve the rice, Sima Yi grabbed Cao Pi's hand that reached out to the wooden spoon.

"Second man, you must hate me now, right?"

Sima Yi said.

Cao Pi moved his eyes away from the rice bowl and looked at Sima Yi. After a while, he suddenly threw the rice bowl on his right hand and said angrily:

"Sima Yi, I hate you, you know, why do you need to ask more questions? However, I hate myself. I was really blind at the beginning and became a close friend with you without any doubts. Even if you let you steal my power and frame my eighth uncle, I have been a hostage to you again."

Sima Yi didn't say a word, listened quietly until Cao Pi finished roaring, and sighed:

"As the second brother said, you and me are clear about each other, so there is no need to repeat it. Now it is summer, and the cicadas are chirping, and the heat is endless. I still remember the first time you and I met each other, and it is also this time, in Lujiang, an important town in Jiangnan..."

Speaking of this, the servant who had just left came in from outside, carrying a wine pot and two wine glasses. After Sima Yi took the tray, he placed one of the two wine glasses in front of Cao Pi and the other in front of him, and then filled the two wine glasses with wine.

"Now, a whole year has passed. Looking back on the past, it is vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday. I felt so grateful that I felt sad and wanted to drink it with the second wife again. I wonder if the second wife can agree?"

A year ago, in Lujiang City, Sun Jian personally led 500,000 naval troops in Jianye City to encircle the water. Zhuge Liang used the heavenly change skill, intending to use heavy rain to cooperate with Zhou Yu to break the dike and flood the Lujiang River. At that time, thanks to Sima Yi also used the heavenly change skill to curb Zhuge Liang, Sun Jian's army's intention to fight quickly failed. Finally, Wu Fan led his army to lift the siege of Lujiang.

It was precisely because of this battle that Sima Yi's prestige in Cao's army greatly improved. Caoà also asked Cao Pi to take Sima Yi as his army and learn military skills.

It was from that time that the two met each other, and because of their similarities, they developed to a very close relationship.

Memories are a strange thing. They are often easily infecting a person's emotions, being touched by past experiences, and then being like a different person.

For example, Cao Pi had just roared at Sima Yi. At this moment, he remembered the scene when the two met, and the many experiences of drinking and watching the moon in the future, and traveling to famous places and historical sites. He couldn't help but calm down, his eyebrows were so sad that he was very moved.

After catching the wine glass, Cao Pi raised his head and drank the wine all, and the same was true for Sima Yi on the opposite side. After putting down the wine glass, Sima Yi silently filled the wine. The two of them drank again and poured again... After repeating this, after five cups in a row, Cao Pi put the wine glass heavily on the table, looking at the empty wine glass and finally spoke:

"Zhongda, I have something unknown. Why do you have to frame my eighth uncle? After the failure, why did you refuse to join me in placing crimes against the eighth uncle and seeking forgiveness. Instead, you insist on taking me as a hostage and fleeing to this small filial piety? Do you think this radius of only ten miles can match the millions of troops under the eighth uncle?"

Of course, the anger in Cao Pi's stomach has not subsided. However, by recalling the past, Cao Pi's mood has eased a little. He no longer roared at Sima Yi without any unnecessary roar, but instead asked questions he had never understood.

Sima Yi drank another glass of wine, put down the glass, and chuckled:

"A great ambition is born for the ambition and die for the ambition. Since I, Sima Yi, decided to come out, I was never willing to be a mediocre and innocent official. However, your eighth uncle has many disagreements with me and even has prejudice against me. But he is also highly respected and has a great minister. Even though I have been conscientious and dedicated throughout my life, I can turn everything into nothing with just one word of his. Therefore, if I want to achieve my ambition, the first step must be removed. This is why I harmed your eighth uncle."

The relationship between Wu Fan and Sima Yi is quite destined.

What Sima Yi said before is actually just an appearance. In fact, Wu Fan, as a later generation, knew very well that Sima Yi was a powerful scheming man with great ambitions. Once he was given power, he had to change his flags and flags. The large-scale country he had built up with hard work was handed over to others. This is what Wu Fan could never agree to, and it is precisely for this reason that Wu Fan suppressed Sima Yi, which Sima Yi believed, and Wu Fan had prejudice against him.

Sima Yi was an absolute and unyielding person who used his own words to be a "big ambition" and was never willing to be a small official. So, after deciding that Wu Fan was a major obstacle in his career, Sima Yi began to find ways to deal with Wu Fan when he got the chance.

The relationship between the two has developed to this day. Besides being destined, what other good explanation is there?

Cao Pi was stunned for a while and then asked again:

"Even so, you saw it when you were in Xihe County. There was no chance that you could beat my eighth uncle. The facts were already in front of you. Why didn't you take the initiative to surrender your sins with me and ask for forgiveness, but continue to do your own thing? Although you might not be exempted from death by celebrating your sins with the eighth uncle, you still have a glimmer of hope for life. But you deceived Lu Bu and ran here, but you cut off your hope for life with your own hands."

Sima Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying:

"Second Duke, I have already said that those who are great ambitions are born for their ambitions and die for their ambitions. Although I am dead now, I have no regrets. Besides, although your eighth uncle is unmatched, he is still physical and physical. How can he compete with the mechanism? The formation set up by Zhuge Liang was in the sky, almost costing the life of your eighth uncle. Now the formation set up by me is located underground, and I think your eighth uncle will not have such good luck this time to escape from heaven."

Cao Pi was surprised when he heard this:

"Depending on your appearance, are you still sure you can kill my eighth uncle?"

Sima Yi laughed and said:

"Facts will tell you everything."

After pausing, Sima Yi smiled and said to Cao Pi:
Chapter completed!
