Sima Zhongda.

Guo Peng was not surprised when he suddenly heard the name of this person.

"Well, Sima Zhongda."

Cao Cao nodded: "At 22 years old, according to Sima Gong, Sima Yi is smarter than Sima Lang. He is more optimistic about Sima Yi, so he wants to entrust Sima Yi to revitalize the Sima family."

"interesting."

Guo Peng smiled and said, "I remember this family looked down on Yuan Si before and came to Xun Wenruo. Xun Wenruo died and Fengxiao again. Brother, you are such a sucker."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "After all, Sima Gong has supported me, and now I support his son, which is very normal."

"hehe."

Guo Peng poured himself another glass of water.

It’s not that I’m disgusted with Sima Yi or worried that Sima Yi can usurp the country or something.

There are no natural usurpers in the world. They all walk to that stall at their own position and have to do it. When Guo first came to this world, he thought of just holding Cao Cao's thighs and having a stable life.

However, with the prosperity of the Cao family, the prosperity of the Sima family is actually a bit inevitable.

The reason is that in that time and space, Sima Fang supported Cao Cao.

Sima Fang recommended Cao Cao to become an official, and in his early years, Cao Cao gave Cao Cao a lot of help, so Cao Cao was in mind. So after Cao Cao became rich, he naturally promoted his son to repay him.

Cao Cao promoted Sima Lang and made him the governor of Yanzhou. After Sima Lang died of official duties, Cao Cao promoted Sima Yi and asked Sima Yi to be the prince's son next to his successor Cao Pi.

Cao Pi then Cao Cao's squad strongly promoted Sima Yi, and sent him to Luoyang to serve as one of the four auxiliary ministers.

When Cao Rui ascended the throne, he promoted Sima Fu, and made him serve as the Minister of the Duzhi to supervise financial issues. He strongly appointed Sima Yi and Sima Fu.

The three generations of the Cao family favored the Sima family. It can be said that the Sima family's history of making a fortune accompanied the historical process of Cao Wei.

The history of Sima Yi's fortune in the book of Jin actually tastes a bit. For example, Cao Cao asked Sima Yi to become an official, but Sima Yi looked down on Cao's family's origin and pretended to be sick and refused, and then said that Cao Cao was afraid of Sima Yi and asked Cao Pi to be careful of Sima Yi and so on.

This is all about gilding on Sima Yi's face.

The Sima family itself transformed into a military general family. After only two generations of transformation to Sima Yi's generation, it was not considered a family with a deep foundation at all. It was at the bottom of the contempt chain of the gentry. If you want to look down on Cao Cao, the Sima family is really not qualified.

It was said that Cao Cao asked Sima Yi to take office and he was unhappy to pretend to be sick, which was purely a product of grafting.

It was not Cao Cao who asked Sima Yi to become an official. The person who first recommended Sima Yi as an official was named Wei Zhong, who was the prefect of Hanoi County at that time.

This person has political stains. When Cao Cao was in trouble in his early years, Wei Zhong once betrayed Cao Cao and later returned to the right, and obtained Cao Cao's understanding, but his status was not high and his future was limited.

After becoming his old official, the Sima family's future was worrying, so Sima Yi refused.

Later, I didn’t know how Sima did it, so Sima Yi was appreciated by Xun Yu.

This is most likely done by Sima Lang.

In the 13th year of Jian'an, Sima Lang was appointed as the chief clerk of the Prime Minister's Office and went to Cao Cao to become an official. In the 13th year of Jian'an, Sima Yi became an official. If there was no connection between this, it would be difficult to explain.

Sima Lang gained the appreciation of Xun Yu through some means and recommended his younger brother Sima Yi to Xun Yu. Xun Yu recommended Sima Yi as an official. Sima Yi became an old official of the Xun family, hugged Xun Yu's thigh, and joined the Cao Wei group.

At that time, the power of the Yingchuan scholars was far from being compared with their position in the Cao Wei group, and it was dominant. Therefore, Sima Yi successfully got involved in the circle of the Yingchuan scholars and had a bright future.

Joining the Cao Wei Group was for the sake of the family's official career, and becoming an old official of the Xun family opened up the path of transformation of the Sima family.

While considering the family's official career, the Sima family also has to consider the family's social status. This move is very beautiful.

What happened later was easy to understand. On the one hand, the Cao family was supported by the support of the favor and the Yingchuan scholars. By the time of Cao Rui, Sima Yi, who transformed into a military general family, could already be ranked among the four auxiliary ministers with Chen Qun of the Yingchuan Chen family, and the family's qualities were significantly improved.

Because of this relationship, when Cao Shuang's group lost people's hearts in the later period, the only remaining veteran Sima Yi of the four dynasties was expected by everyone, and received strong support from the scholars of Yingchuan Group and became the leader of the wealthy gentry.

It was probably at that time that Sima Yi suddenly realized that he could control the situation.

Sima's fortune is really great, and Sima Fang has made great contributions to this.

It should be said that thanks to Sima Fang's pressure, he recommended Cao Cao and helped Cao Cao. Cao Cao has a kind-hearted personality, and the same is true for the unspoken rules of the officialdom. Therefore, everything that Sima's family rose to prominence later.

Some of the luck of Cao's family was divided by Sima family. Sima family seemed to be parasitized on Cao's family, growing up with the growth of Cao's family.

So when Guo Peng learned that Cao Cao had a shameless attitude, he recommended a man named Sima Lang to Xun Yu to become a subordinate. He was not surprised.

Now, Cao Cao is going to run for Sima Yi's future again, and he is not surprised.

Inevitably.

However, in this environment, the Yingchuan Scholar Group was disgusted by Guo Peng for its mistake in taking the team. The representative wealthy family was beaten to death by Guo Peng's combination of punches, and there was no hope of recovery.

The Yingchuan Group now cannot provide protection to the Sima family.

For the sake of the family's future, the Sima family will definitely no longer seek the acceptance of the Yingchuan scholars, but will instead seek acceptance of other scholar families that have been valued by Guo Peng.

Guo's is the best choice.

He is close to Cao Cao, easy to talk and has a high status. He is still Guo Peng's own family. If he can reach this level of relationship and get Guo Peng's appreciation through Guo Jia, it would be like a Rockets taking off.

The abacus was really loud.

However, Sima Yi's talent is indeed first-class.

In all senses, Sima Yi's talent is amazing. Sima Yi's ability is great in governing and leading troops.

Guo Peng looked around and nodded.

"Brother, what do you think after seeing this Sima Yi?"

Cao Cao thought about it.

"A very good young man, calm, capable, solid knowledge, good tutoring, and looks like Sima Gong in all aspects. In time, he will become a great man."

Guo Peng nodded.

"Since the eldest brother has said that, then the eldest brother, otherwise I'll let Fengxiao turn around and owe you a favor."

"ah?"

Cao Cao didn't understand what Guo Peng meant.

"I personally summon Sima Yi."

Guo Peng smiled and said, "Now, is it enough to give Sima family face? I personally summoned Sima Yi. In this way, my elder brother has been so kind to the Sima family, right?"

"Zi...Zifeng, did you personally summon Sima Yi?"

Cao Cao was very surprised: "This is not a matter of giving face or not. This... this is too polite. What is your identity? What is their identity? You still need to call me in person now? This... this is not appropriate?"

"Brother said that Sima Yi will become a great person in time. I have always cherished talents, so I naturally have to see if Sima Yi has such talent. If he really has it, it will naturally be a good thing."

Guo Peng waved his hand: "In this case, my eldest brother doesn't owe you filial piety, and he pays off the Sima family. Sima probably will owe you what he owes you backwards. Wouldn't it be nice?"

"Zi Feng..."

"That's all, brother, if you want that beautiful concubine and property, go to Fengxiao to grab it back. If you don't want it, let Fengxiao owe you. If you like anything you like here, just take it away. I will help Fengxiao return it to you."
