Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

"Mr. Sima?" When Gao Lan saw Sima Fang, he frowned slightly and looked at Sima Fang and said, "Why are you here?"

Sima Fang shook his head and said: "General, surrender, now the whole territory of Hanoi has been lost, and Zhi County has become an isolated city!"

Gao Lan: "..."

Even if you want to persuade someone to surrender, should you say some warm-up words first, such as talking about friendship or something like that? It's hard to accept being so straight to the point.

After a long while, Gao Lan frowned and said: "Sima Gong is a distinguished scholar in Hanoi, and the Sima family is a prominent family in Hanoi. The general did not expect that Sima Gong would surrender so easily!"

"The general's words are wrong." Sima Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "My father is not a minister of Duke Yuan. Although our Sima family was in Hanoi before, we never said we were loyal to Duke Yuan. If we are not loyal to Duke Yuan, what is the point now? The theory of coming back and surrendering?"

Originally, the Sima family only lived in Hanoi but had no official career. How could it be considered a surrender?

"Even so, sir, what's the point of surrendering to me?" Gao Lan frowned.

"It's not to persuade us to surrender." Sima Yi sighed: "I just don't want all the soldiers in this city to lose their lives in vain."

Gao Lan snorted coldly but did not answer.

Now that all other places in Hanoi have been captured, Zhi County has no food and grass supplies. There is obviously not enough food and grass in the city to last for long. What Sima Yi said is true, but Gao Lan has never thought about surrender.

"General, we actually don't want to be under the rule of Marquis Wen, but what can we do? The general should know about the previous defeat in Zhongmou, but I'm afraid the general is not alone. Now in Guandu, the general has been defeated by Marquis Wen several times. , now the whole territory of Hanoi is owned by Xu Rong, and the food routes in the rear are not guaranteed, it is only a matter of time before the general withdraws his troops." Sima Yi looked at Gao Lan and said: "The general has too much time to take care of himself. If the general wants to wait for reinforcements, he may not be able to wait."

Gao Lan didn't expect it to be that far. When he heard Sima Yi say this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. If this was really the case, their team would be dead.

If we continue to defend, there seems to be no other way out except leading the soldiers to death.

"My lord has treated me well, how can I endure it now?" Gao Lan hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"The general's words are absurd, why should I back them? The general is also a Han official. Now that the general is following General Xu back to Chang'an, he also wants to meet the emperor, and then serve the imperial court. Naturally, he is also a Han official. Since they are all Han officials, what's the point? Why are you reciting such words?" Sima Yi asked with a smile.

"This..." Gao Lan looked at Sima Yi. This boy was really good at talking, but Sima Yi's words did speak to Gao Lan's heart.

Gao Lan naturally did not want to continue the fight. As a general, he had done his best to fight for Yuan Shao until now. However, the reputation of surrender was really bad, and he didn't know how Lu Bu would treat him.

Thinking of this, Gao Lan frowned and said nothing. Surrender is okay, but he can't start from a small soldier anymore, right?

"The general is a pillar of the Four Courts of Hebei and has a great reputation. Marquis Wen is also a warrior. The most important thing is naturally a military commander like the general. As long as the general sincerely serves the court, are we still afraid that Marquis Wen will treat the general poorly?" Sima Yi said with a smile.

"That's not true, it's just me, the soldiers..." Gao Lan hesitated.

"It's simple. If these soldiers are willing to surrender with the general, they will surrender together. If they are not willing, they can hand over their weapons and find their own way out. Of course, the general will not be able to continue to command these soldiers." Sima Yi didn't know. Suddenly, the topic has turned to how to surrender.

Gao Lan nodded silently, which was not difficult to understand: "Well, the matter has come to this, and it seems that the general has no other choice but to return to the imperial court."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to surrender.

The matter of the surrender was finally settled. Sima Yi immediately stood up to say goodbye and followed Sima Fang out of the city.

"Is it done?" Xu Rong asked with a smile when he saw the two returning.

"As expected, General Gao has agreed to surrender, but how are you going to treat General Gao?" Sima Yi said, cupping his fists.

Xu Rong thought for a while and said: "With General Gao's ability and reputation, I am willing to surrender at this time to avoid a military disaster. My lord will not neglect it, at least it will not be worse than this time. As for the specifics, I, the general, will discuss with Hua The heroic general said he would surrender, but he had no right to make a decision."

Sima Yi nodded, which is understandable. After all, Xu Rong is not Lu Bu and has no right to be directly appointed as an official. Xu Rong also abides by this. No wonder Lu Bu is so relieved about this person.

Sima Fang didn't speak the whole time. He knew that his role had been played out and he would have nothing to do next.

Sure enough, Sima Yi was responsible for handling the matter with Xu Rong, while Sima Fang sat aside and watched.

The surrender of more than 20,000 people was not a simple matter. Seeing his son busy with this matter, one night, Sima Fang finally couldn't help but asked Sima Yi: "Zhongda, even if we have to submit to Lu Buzhi, You don’t have to be so groveling, why are you doing this?”

Sima Yi looked at his father like this and sighed slightly: "Father, haven't you noticed yet? If we don't do anything this time, let alone Lu Bu, then Xu Rong will have the intention to kill me. The child is doing this just for himself." Save."

From the moment Xu Rong came to the Sima family, it was destined that the future of the Sima family would be filled with suspicion and abuse. Xu Rong obviously had no intention of making things easier for the Sima family, at least not yet. If he wanted to preserve the family, he could only so.

It's not that there is no other way. Sima Yi knows very well that no matter which prince's territory they go to now, they will be reused, but is it useful?

After this battle, the world situation has changed. Regardless of his background, Lu Bu is indeed a heroic leader. What is even more terrifying is that what he wants to do is almost against the will of heaven, but now there are signs of success.

Sima Yi didn't want to go against Lu Bu, and he didn't want his family to perish in the changing times, so he could only reluctantly cut off his flesh and enter Lu Bu's side first to find a way out for the future of the Sima family and even the aristocratic family. At the same time, he might not be able to pass another method. Ways to guide Lu Bu's ideas.

After all, it is much easier to unify the world according to the past methods than Lu Bu's method. And with Lu Bu's current situation, as long as he is willing to re-establish a governance concept based on aristocratic families, Sima Yi can guarantee that 90% of the aristocratic families in the world are willing to accept Lu Bu.

Now Lu Bu's own value is enough to be recognized by families all over the world.

In short, in Sima Yi's opinion, Lu Bu couldn't fight hard, as they would be the ones to suffer.

"Is it so difficult to protect yourself?" Sima Fang looked at his son with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's difficult, there are many things to change..." Sima Yi said with a sigh at the end: "Marquis Wen has now become powerful. Father, in terms of military strength, after this battle, father can see that all the princes in the world can do nothing. Marquis Wen now has the power of the Pre-Qin Dynasty to sweep across Liuhe. If you want to fight against it, you will definitely be destroyed and the end will be bleak. It is better to follow the trend. You need to know... whether you will be able to survive!"

"Zhongda's intention is..." Sima Fang looked at Sima Yi and frowned.

"Marquis Wen should be regarded as an immortal hero, but an immortal hero is still a mortal, and he will die if he is a mortal. How great was the emperor of Qin in the past? However, if Qin is strong, it will still inevitably lead to the death of the second generation. Marquis Wen can always replace the Han, However, when his life is over, whether his will can be carried through, from the perspective of a child, depends on his heirs." Sima Yi bowed and said.

This Sima Fang does understand. Even if he can't defeat Lu Bu's concept, how about defeating his son's concept? When Lu Bu takes over the throne a hundred years later, his son may not insist on implementing Lu Bu's ideas. By then, the world will naturally change back.

What a great success!

Sima Fang looked at his son with complicated eyes and said, "Is there no other way?"

This method has to wait at least until Lu Bu's death.

How long do you have to wait?

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "To be honest with my father, the boy also thought about assisting the Ming Dynasty in defeating Lu Bu and re-establishing the world, but..."

It's not that there is no wise master, but that Lu Bu is too strong and in troubled times, the main force is the military. Otherwise, no matter how well the country is governed, it will be nothing more than a piece of fat in the eyes of others.

Lu Bu is almost invincible in this regard. Whether it is personal ability or talents under his command, look at Xu Rong and Gao Shun. These are both figures who can lead a side in combat. Lu Bu has two of them.

Hua Xiong, Ma Chao, and Wei Yan are all generals who can compete with the Four Court Pillars of Hebei. What's even more terrible is the military uniforms of Lu Bu's men. Sima Yi has seen a lot in the camp these days. Repeating crossbows are very difficult to solve in battle. existence, and the armors worn by the soldiers and the swords they used were better than Yuan Shao's.

Yuan Shao couldn't compare with him, let alone other princes.

It can't be compared with the army. As for internal affairs, Sima Yi will not express his opinion until he goes to Chang'an.

But from what he saw right now, he saw no hope in the princes. Since he couldn't defeat him, he would join and try to corrode and infiltrate from the inside in various ways. Even if the dynasty changed, many things could not be changed for the aristocratic family. .

Sima Fang looked at his son silently, but he didn't expect that his son had such ambitions.

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Although there are bright masters among the princes in the world, no one can compete with Lu Bu. Just like the six countries in the past against Qin, when Marquis Wen swept across the world, we only need time. What we have to do is to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity. .”

Sima Fang nodded silently and said with some dejection: "That's all. From now on, Zhongda will be in charge of the affairs of the Sima family. Your brother is more than honest, but he is not as resourceful and courageous as you."

"I don't dare, I still need father's guidance." Sima Yi shook his head quickly.

Sima Fang smiled and said nothing more. It was good to have a capable son, at least he didn't have to worry too much.

As Gao Lan handed over the military power, the generals in the city were brought out one after another and asked about their place of origin. Those from Hanoi stayed and those from Jizhou were all driven out. Lu Bu had no intention of marching into Jizhou. Keeping these Jizhou soldiers was obviously a waste of food.

Hanoi was defeated here, and Yuan Shao naturally got the news. He originally wanted to fight with Lu Bu again, but he didn't expect Hanoi to be lost first. Yuan Shao was resentful, but he was helpless...
