When he learned that Liu Bei held a ceremony to worship the heavens in Lujiang and was "great success", Xun Yu, who was in charge of the overall situation in Xuchang on behalf of Cao Cao, was actively planning a disturbance against Qing, Xu, Yan, Yu, and Jingzhou.

Similar to the Lujiang court, the occurrence of the "solar eclipse" astronomical phenomena also had a significant impact on the inside and outside the Xuchang court.

However, because Taishitai made advance predictions, Xun Yu arranged all preparations in advance. When the signs of solar eclipse first appeared, the ritual of cultivation was held in time, so that people could barely stabilize their hearts. What we need to do next is naturally to pass on the crisis.

In Xun Yu's view, the occurrence of a solar eclipse is not only a test for one's own side, but it is not a good opportunity to attack the opponent. As long as it is used well, such a sign can even hit the opponent better than a big victory on the battlefield.

In the war that ended at the end of August, Liu Bei's strength expanded greatly. But with it, the crisis was actually lurking—the newly occupied counties and counties are far from reaching a level of stability, and turmoil may occur at any time. And this "soon eclipse" sign can completely become an opportunity to cause turmoil.

This triggers the turmoil in these newly occupied counties and counties by Liu Bei and further spreads to its hinterland. If it is not good, it may make Liu Bei unable to recover his vitality within one or two years.

When Xun Yu saw this, he quickly took action. A large number of detailed works were sent to counties such as Runan, Nanyang, and various rumors about Liu Bei's "unfaithfulness" spread quickly. After all, these counties were first obtained by Liu Bei, and Liu Fang's army, who was not familiar with the place, was helpless to Cao's detailed works.

What is even more gratifying is that the Lujiang court itself also showed signs of civil unrest.

Just when Xun Yu was about to increase the disturbance, Xiaoshu sent a message back - Liu Bei was performing a training ceremony in Lujiang, and he moved the sky to clear the clouds and see the sun. The clouds turned into sunshine. Hundreds of thousands of Jings, the people of Yang were cheering after witnessing this amazing scene with their own eyes.

The Three Tai Shishen of the Lujiang court immediately wrote to the world, saying that the sign of solar eclipse was met in Xuchang, and directly pointed the finger at Cao Cao.

Even Xun Yu was shocked by such amazing changes.

The General Cao Pi of the Five-Secret General, Xun You of the Censor, Zhong Yao of the Grand Secretary, Zhong Shao of the Left Shangshu Pushe Chen Qun, and Dong Zhao, the Grand Secretary of Guanglu, gathered at the Shangshutai.

"Seeing the sun with clear clouds, turning the sun into sunshine?" Cao Pi said in a sharp voice, "This is not manpower at all. Liu Bei must be creating rumors. He intends to get out of trouble!"

"This matter may not be false!" Chen Qun shook his head and said, "According to the detailed report, Liu Bei did not seem to have carried out a private practice. Hundreds of thousands of people from Lujiang and surrounding counties came to witness it."

"Although it may not be fake, it may not be true!" Xun You said with deep eyes and pondering.

"What do you mean by Gong Da?" Zhong Yao asked in surprise.

"The so-called clearing clouds and seeing the sun, turning the clouds into sunshine. I thought it was caused by Liu Bei's cultivation. It is very likely that they knew that the weather would change in this way. So they deliberately used it..."

"Although what Gongda said is reasonable, it seems to be too difficult..." Dong Zhao said in confusion, "Who can predict the change of weather so accurately, unless he has the ability to know the past and future.

Is there really such a person in today's world?"

Cao Pi, Zhong Yao and others nodded. Agree with Dong Zhao's analysis. Although there are many strange people in the world who are familiar with astronomical changes, at most they can calculate the general trend of weather changes within ten and a half months. It is simply unimaginable to judge how the weather will change on a certain day.

Predicting weather changes. It is completely different from predicting solar eclipses and comets. The changes in the astronomical phenomena can be followed by regularity. Based on past experience records and careful observation, you can roughly calculate and calculate the occurrence of solar eclipses and comets. However, it is much more difficult to predict weather changes.

"Maybe there is such a person!" Xun Yu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Everyone knows that in June this year, the Prime Minister and Zhang Fei fought in Wufang County, Runan. The Prime Minister was originally in a good position, but in the end he failed due to a heavy rain.

Many days ago, Zhang Fei avoided fighting, but on the day of the war, he chose to fight to the death with the Prime Minister. This is not normal. From this point of view, perhaps Zhang Fei had predicted that heavy rain would come at that time. If there was no one who knew the astronomy to assist him, he might not have dared to make this decision.

Since you can predict the heavy rain that day, there is nothing strange about predicting the "bright clouds and see the sun" this time."

Cao Pi and others pondered for a long time. They had to recognize Xun Yu's analysis.

"Now Liu Bei slandered the prime minister with the 'sun eclipse' sign. How should we deal with it?" Chen Jiao frowned and said.

"There is no other way, you can only use rumors to deal with rumors!" Xun You said in a deep voice. "Liu Bei used rumors to me, so I returned them to deal with rumors. In this way, the scholars and the people can be at a loss.

When the rumors on both sides spread more and more outdated, they will naturally lose their effectiveness. At that time, the people should also forget about the solar eclipse."

"Although this plan is good, it would be a pity to lose a chance to attack Liu Bei with the 'destiny'..." Zhong Yao said regretfully.

"From the moment Liu Bei came up with the trick of 'Shaking the Clouds and seeing the Sun', the chance to hit him was actually lost!" Xun You shook his head.

As the matter was being discussed, suddenly, outside the door reported that a Hexi prefect Shi Taodi arrived in Xuchang with an emergency document.

"Hexi?" Chen Qun frowned and said, "Is it Ma Dai's attack on the enemy?" Hexi County is located in the western border of Bingzhou and is adjacent to the Beidi County of Liangzhou. Since Liangzhou has been completely defeated by Ma Dai, with the deep hatred between Ma Dai and Cao Cao, people cannot help but feel alert. It is precisely because of this that when Chen Qun heard the urgent report from Hexi that he immediately thought of Ma Dai's attack on Ma Dai.

Xun Yu did not make unnecessary guesses and directly ordered someone to submit the urgent letter.

After quickly reading the urgent book, Xun Yu's expression was neither happy nor angry, and even seemed a little confused. After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, he actually read the content of the letter again.

Xun Yu's strange behavior immediately aroused the curiosity of others.

"Wenruo, what's wrong with Hexi?" Zhong Yao asked in confusion and eagerness.

"There is nothing wrong in Hexi!" Xun Yu handed the letter to Cao Pi, and replied while thinking, "The other thing Shi Guangyuan said, another important thing!"

"Another important thing?" Xun Yu's answer not only failed to resolve the doubts, but also made him even more suspicious.

"Sima Yi may not have died?!!!!" Cao Pi suddenly exclaimed.

"What?" Chen Qun, Zhong Yao and others were shocked when they heard the sound.

Xun You quickly took the letter from Cao Pi and began to read it carefully.

After everyone had circulated the letters, the earthquake was shocked and was not inferior to Cao Pi. Everyone in the hall was Cao Cao's close confidants and important officials, and they knew very well that Cao Cao secretly sent Sima Yi to change his name and surname to join Liu Bei's command as an internal response. Naturally, he also knew another thing - because of his exposed identity, Sima Yi, who was named Zhang Yi, was secretly executed last year. Lujiang even claimed that Sima Yi was assassinated by Cao Fang, which made Cao Cao feel like a mute and had nowhere to complain.

Afterwards, Cao Cao also specifically apologized to Sima Langcheng.

Unexpectedly, more than a year later, Sima Yi, who should have been sleeping in the loess for a long time, appeared like a ghost again. This is really shocking.

"Xiliang, Sima Yi actually appeared in Xiliang?" Dong Zhao pondered for a moment and said in confusion, "How could Shi Tao know about Sima Yi?"

"It was the Prime Minister who told him!" Xun Yu replied. "Last year, when Shi Tao was transferred to Hexi Prefecture, the Prime Minister asked him for advice. During the discussion, the Prime Minister revealed some Sima Yi's affairs. It is not difficult to guess the entire content with Shi Tao's wisdom."

"How credible is this matter?" Xun You looked up at his clan uncle. He asked with consultation, "It is really not enough to fully accept it based on a detailed statement. Moreover, this person only met Sima Yi several times six years ago..."

"I would rather believe that there is, than that there is no..." Xun Yu said lightly, "If Sima Yi was really not dead, it would probably be worth thinking about it!"

"Xiliang, Xiliang, it's in Xiliang!" Xun You frowned. "Is it related to Ma Dai's capture of Xiliang?"

"This matter cannot be leaked. Don't know Boda (Sima Lang) first, wait for it to be discovered..."

...

In the third year of Zhanghe, in the first month, Ma Liang sent a letter from Xiangyang to Lujiang and reported two important matters: First, Xiahou Yuan led the army to Chang'an. Zhang Lu restored Hanzhong. At the same time, according to the prior agreement, Lu Meng was invited by Zhang Lu to raise 20,000 troops to Anyang, responsible for chasing the Ziwu Valley Road and helping the Hanzhong army to assist Cao Cao.

The second thing is more interesting - Liu Xi secretly contacted the Jingzhou Governor's Department, hoping to send envoys to Lujiang to meet the emperor to express his intention of submitting to him. Liu Xi said that the six counties in Xichuan were willing to accept the jurisdiction of the Lujiang court and completely draw a clear line with the Xuchang court.

At the same time, he also put forward a condition, hoping that the elder brother would stop supporting Zhang Ren and Yan Yan.

Since the end of November, the Jingzhou Governor's Ministry has begun to provide assistance to Zhang Rendi. At the same time, the advance of Liao Hua and He Qi's 15,000 troops made Liu Xun dare not siege Zhang Ren wantonly.

It is obvious that Liu Xun has already felt the pressure we put in. He knows more clearly that if Zhang Ren cannot be completely eradicated, Xichuan will not really belong to him in one day.

Perhaps it was because of weighing the pros and cons that Liu Xu made such a choice.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Liu Qi used a slowdown in the army and intended to stabilize our army to win time to destroy Zhang Rendi in one fell swoop.
