Chapter 528 Cao Pi makes a show(1/2)
Cao Pi, with a few confidants and many soldiers, came to Sima Yi's cemetery with a solemn expression.
They were dressed in plain clothes and silently stared at the tombstones.
Cao Pi walked forward and gently stroked the handwriting on the tombstone, as if he could feel Sima Yi's wisdom and power.
He turned around, faced everyone, and began to give a speech.
"Everyone, Sima Yi, he is our mainstay, and his wisdom and courage will be recorded in history forever."
Cao Pi's voice was low and powerful.
Afterwards, Cao Pi knelt down.
The others also knelt down quickly.
Cao Pi's mood was very complicated, and he really didn't want to come to this place.
But he knew that this was the result of winning people's hearts, so he had to come and he started the show immediately.
He was particularly sensational and once again explained that he really shouldn't kill Sima Yi.
All of this was fooled by Xi Yu.
He found that what he said was very effective.
Many people were infected by their own words, and some even started to cry. They all thought of Sima Yi, and they all developed a special hatred for Xi Yu, believing that he was a despicable, insidious and cunning person.
Cao Pi was very happy because his morale was inspired and everyone could fight to the enemy bravely.
Morale is a very important thing.
It's like some soldiers who are respectful on the surface, but if morale is lost, this depression cannot be changed by anyone.
Once morale rises, it will play unlimited roles on the battlefield.
You will die in every battle. But to Cao Pi, what is the death of someone?
As long as you can conquer yourself, you will be better than anything else.
Moreover, no one in any station in all dynasties will die, so the people present are just cannon fodder.
He now feels that he should continue to add more fire and continue this show, which must be touching people more deeply.
After a while, Cao Pi squeezed out a trace of tears, and then started to cry loudly. He was trying hard to recall some sad things.
But later I found out that no matter what, I couldn't imagine any sad things.
Later, he finally thought of something that made him sad so that he could continue to make a show.
Everyone felt very uncomfortable when they heard him crying.
"Mr. Cao, what's wrong with you?"
A soldier asked quickly.
Cao Pi led his face with a heavy expression, and tears of regret flashed in his eyes.
Cao Pi knelt down slowly, bowed his head to confess to Sima Yi's tombstone, and murmured to himself: "Zhongda, I shouldn't have killed you by mistake! I am a sinner in the world. Today I will confess to you. Please forgive me!"
The soldiers on the side hurried forward to support Cao Pi and persuaded him: "Duke Cao, no one can be resurrected after death. You are so sad!"
Cao Pi shook his head, insisted on kneeling and refused to get up, and said in pain: "This is the biggest mistake I have made in my life. I must kneel here to atone for my sins to comfort Zhongda's spirit in heaven."
"Duke Cao, you still need to preside over the military and national affairs. Now it is time to prepare for war. Don't be too sad, which will affect your health!"
Cao Pi shook his head and expressed his heart full of regret and self-blame. He recalled Sima Yi's contributions, and thought that he had been impulsive and killed this loyal minister and general, and he felt even more sad.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled, and everyone present seemed to be particularly cold.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Sima already knows your thoughts. Don't blame yourself too much."
"Yes, Cao Gong, no one can do without mistakes,"
But no matter how everyone persuaded him, Cao Pi was determined to kneel here until he had enough repentance.
"Duke Cao, you are about to go to war, and you are still the commander-in-chief. How can you kneel here? What does the people of Luoyang think?"
"Yes, Cao Gong, you should also think about the people of the world."
"I am no longer interested in doing all this now. You can just fight bravely to kill the enemy. I am just kneeling here."
Cao Pi stubbornly insisted on his decision, which made many soldiers look at each other and didn't know what to do.
They were filled with worry and uneasiness.
Cao Pi said coldly: "No one needs to say much. This marquis has made up his mind, and no one can change it."
His voice echoed in the empty camp, with a sense of determination.
Many people felt a slump in their hearts. They knew Cao Pi's character, and once he decided on something, it would be difficult to change it.
"Duke Cao, this move is absolutely not allowed! If we have civil turmoil at this time, the enemy will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and we will be in danger at that time."
There was a general's voice with a hint of anxiety and fear.
Cao Pi glared at him and said, "What do you mean by this? Do you want to go against the meaning of this marquis?"
"I dare not! Just..."
"Just what?" Cao Pi interrupted Xu Huang's words, "You don't need to say anything. This marquis has decided. Whoever dares to disobey will kill him or her!"
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
No one expected that such a thing would happen at this critical moment.
There were some people who thought that Cao Pi was just making a show and just doing it for everyone to see, but now they found that he was serious.
"Okay, just let me kneel here alone. If the rest of you are fine, you can leave."
But after Cao Pi said this, many people still knelt here. They insisted that since Cao Pi wanted to kneel here, they would accompany him.
"Why are you so stubborn? What's the use of you here? Go away quickly."
At this moment, Cao Pi was simply caught fire.
At this moment, a ginseng general named Xu Lei stood up.
"Since Mr. Cao asked us to leave, we will leave."
Many people don't understand why he did this.
Moreover, Xu Lei was also an important official around Cao Pi.
But everyone left temporarily, leaving only a few soldiers with Cao Pi.
After walking far away, many people asked Xu Lei what was going on.
Xu Lei sighed and said that Cao Pi was kneeling in front of Sima Yi's tomb, and he felt very heartbroken. Now he is bringing everyone out and then telling his own way.
"General Xu, tell me what your method is? As long as you can let Mr. Cao face all this normally, don't give up on yourself, we will listen to you in everything."
"That's right, General Xu, we believe you will definitely have a solution."
His solution was that they told Sima Yi about this and asked Sima Shi to persuade Cao Pi.
"I believe that Sima Shi must be a reasonable person. Although I have never had contact with him, I have a little understanding of his character." Xu Lei expressed his suggestions, which was also a good way he had considered.
"What do you think of my idea?" But Xu Lei knew that this method was actually a bit risky, and many people probably opposed it.
Sure enough, the people present immediately became divided into two factions.
Some people think this is not a good idea, and Sima Yi should hate Cao Pi to the core now.
Some people also think that this idea is good. Because Cao Pi's actions should be considered to be able to impress Sima Shi.
Xu Lei said that no matter what, he would give it a try now, and he was willing to visit Sima Shi himself.
"General Xu should be careful. Maybe Sima will kill you if he gets angry."
A soldier said quickly, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"General, the villain means to recognize that Sima Shi is stimulated and may become even more angry."
Xu Lei waved his hand and immediately stopped the soldier's conversation.
"Apart from this, is there any other better way?"
At this moment, everyone stopped talking.
"So, since there is no better way, I still have to go there."
With Xu Lei's insistence, everyone had to agree. Someone asked Xu Lei to lead his troops there.
Xu Lei immediately denied: "If this is the case, wouldn't it make Sima Shi more disgusted? I have to go there alone."
Everyone's persuasion was ineffective, so they had to let him go.
Because they found that Xu Lei was also a very stubborn person.
After a while, Xu Lei rode alone and galloped towards the Sima family.
Sima Shi was still immersed in the pain of his father's death. On that day, he set up a mourning hall at home.
Because it was harmed by Cao Pi, few people came to pay their respects, but Sima Shi still understood that many people admired their fathers in their hearts.
