Hanoi.

The clan of the Sima clan.

In a luxurious manor.

Two young men were sitting playing chess.

One is Sima Lang, the eldest son of Sima Fang, and the other is Sima Yi, the second son of Sima Fang.

“Zhongda, previously Xu Xiao proclaimed himself emperor in Xuzhou and established the country of Liang; now Yuan Shao proclaimed himself emperor in Yecheng and established the country of Chen; and Cao Cao supported Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, in Xuchang”

“There will definitely be a war between the three parties in the near future.”

“In the land of the Central Plains, there will only be one winner”

“Originally, I liked Xuchang Cao Cao. After all, he followed the emperor’s orders and commanded the world. His name was justifiable.”

“But I can’t understand the current situation.”

“The Sima family has been passed down for hundreds of years. If I choose to fail, the Sima family will suffer disaster.”

“It’s difficult!”

Sima Yi held the black chess piece and said with a smile:”Three five three””My brother wants too much, so he is troubled, but if the Sima family does not fight or grab, no matter who wins, the Sima family can prosper forever.”

“Regardless of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao or Xu Xiao, as long as the Sima family does not become an official before the world is settled, there will be no disaster.”

“Qin destroyed Han and prospered, and Han lost its deer.”

“Families that fight too hard are almost wiped out, while families that keep a low profile can be passed down for hundreds of years.”

“So, just let them fight. Sima

Lang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled helplessly and said:”Zhongda, you are not the clan leader, so you can naturally be so carefree and comfortable, but I have to consider the family.””

“If I don’t fight, any petty official can put me in jail!”

“In troubled times, if you don’t have power, you can only be at the mercy of others.”

Sima Yi disagreed.

The more troubled the times, the more you have to keep a low profile.

As long as you keep a low profile so that no one will regard you as a threat, you can survive in the prosperous times. In the prosperous times, with the Sima family’s hundreds of years of inheritance, you can get generals and prime ministers at your fingertips.

Why bother? To rule the roost in troubled times?

“Brother, power can protect the family, but it can also destroy it.”

“Take the Yuan family in Runan for example. Because of Yuan Shu’s misjudgment, not only was Yuan Shu defeated and killed, but the Yuan family in Runan was also wiped out.”

“If Yuan Shao hadn’t continued the Yuan family through collateral lines in Jizhou, the Yuan family, which once had four generations and three princes, and had disciples and former officials all over the world, would have ceased to exist long ago.”

“The Yuan family has learned from the past, can’t your brother still see through it? Sima

Lang found it difficult to understand Sima Yi’s thoughts:”But if you are so low-key, how can the Sima family rise?””

“If a certain party dominates the world, there will inevitably be someone from the Dragon family. By then, what will I, the Sima family, mean? Seeing that Sima

Lang was stubborn, Sima Yi changed the subject:”Brother, who do you think will be the final winner to unify the Central Plains?”

Sima Lang pondered:”Before, I was optimistic about Cao Cao, but now, I think Yuan Shao is more courageous than Cao Cao.””

“I have always believed that Yuan Shao was scheming and unstoppable, fierce in appearance but weak in spirit. He only had wise ministers and strong generals, and hundreds of thousands of troops, but he could not achieve great things. But now that Yuan Shao is proclaimed emperor, his overlord status is fully demonstrated”

“If Yuan Shao becomes emperor, he will definitely attack Xuchang and capture Cao Cao first. Now that Cao Cao’s advantage as emperor is gone, he will definitely not be able to defeat Yuan Shao.”

“Although Xu Xiao has the imperial seal and is the first to proclaim himself emperor, Xu Xiao conquers the world with his bravery.”

“The son of a rich man cannot sit in court, but as the lord, Xu Xiao always charges into the battle and takes the lead in every war, which is the sign of his early death.”

“Plus. Xu Xiao, regardless of his background, Mi Zhu is just a businessman, but his sister has become Xu Xiao’s wife”

“The rest of the civil and military personnel are not talented people from aristocratic families. In a short period of time, Xu Xiao can rely on bravery to fight against Yuan Shao”

“But as time goes by, Xu Xiao will inevitably be troubled by money, food and public opinion.”

The public opinion in Sima Lang’s mouth is the public opinion of the family.

Just like Sun Ce fought against Jiangdong with martial arts, but was restricted by the Jiangdong family.

In Sima Lang’s eyes, Xu Xiao seemed powerful, but in fact he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Once Xu Xiao had Due to accidental casualties, the aristocratic families in the Liang Kingdom must rebel!

Sima Lang tried to persuade Sima Yi with his reasons. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Although Sima Lang is the patriarch and can determine the future of the Sima family. Sima Lang values Sima Yi’s intelligence very much.

Only after convincing Sima Yi can Sima Lang have confidence in his decision!

Seeing that Sima Lang’s words were full of contempt for Xu Xiao, Sima Yi couldn’t help but remind him

“Brother, what if Xu Xiao can really win every battle?”[]

“Your views are all based on the fact that Xu Xiao will die because he took the lead.0”

“Think Xu Xiao is just a reckless man”

“But as far as I know, Xu Xiao has never failed since his debut!”

“Whether it’s Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, or Yuan Shu, Xu Xiao has never been defeated!”

“There are even rumors that the unparalleled Lu Bu is no match for Xu Xiao!”

“Winning once is a fluke; not losing is a sign of real ability!”

“Although Yuan Shao has the courage to proclaim himself emperor this time, a person will not change his nature just because of an accidental change.”

“Yuan Shao’s character is destined to not be a wise master.”

“Otherwise, how could people like Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others abandon Yuan Shao and join Cao Cao?”

Sima Yi paused.

“Brother, I still insist on my opinion”

“The Sima clan keeps a low profile and does not participate in power disputes between any party.”

“Just waiting to dominate the world, the Sima family will be born again in a normal way.”

“Only in this way can the Sima family be passed down for hundreds more years! Seeing that Sima

Lang was still hesitating, Sima Yi handed the white chess jar to Sima Lang’s hand and said with a smile:”Brother, since you are hesitant, let’s play a game of chess!””

“Anyway, this is not something that can be decided in one day.”

“When Yuan Shao really destroys Cao Cao, it won’t be too late to make a decision in 3.2! Sima

Lang shook his head helplessly:”When Cao Cao is destroyed, how can I, Sima, have any chance to become an official?””

“That’s all, let’s play a game of chess first!”

Sima Yi’s eyes were bright, even though he was playing chess, and even though he was advising Sima Lang to keep a low profile, but in Sima Yi’s mind, he was comparing Yuan Shao and Xu Xiao again!

“Xu Xiao has many powerful generals under his command, but he has no advisers.”

“If Xu Xiao is suppressed by force and strategy is not enough to make up for it, he will definitely lose.”

“However, Xu Xiao is too mysterious”

“The invincible eight hundred snow dragon cavalry, the Beiwei army that suddenly appeared on the battlefield in Yuzhou, and the Bronze Bird Tower descending from the sky in Pengcheng!”

“Could it be that this Xu Xiao is really the son of destiny?”

Sima Yi gradually fell into deep thought.
