Chapter 2876: Fan Li’s life-saving grace to Yin Shou who was tricked by Su Daji

Many people don't know that Fan Li is actually Yin Shou's benefactor, and the two have a very good personal relationship.

Yin Shou and Fan Li actually had the same problem, and both of them were valued and guarded by Cao Cao. It was precisely because of this that the two had such common topics and formed a deep friendship in private.

Fan Li is not greedy for money, lustful, cliquey, or selfish. People like him are an alternative in the officialdom. He is the kind of lonely minister who can only rely on the king.

Logically speaking, such a minister should be the most loved by the king, but on the surface Cao Cao has been re-employing Fan Li, but secretly he has never let down his guard.

In fact, Cao Cao also knew that Fan Li was unlikely to be Zhu Di's undercover agent. After all, even if Zhu Di did choose to be an undercover agent, he would not choose Fan Li because he was definitely the worst candidate for an undercover agent.

Fan Li actually passed Cao Cao's test long ago, and since he took refuge, he has been doing his best and loyal to his duties. He has never done anything out of the ordinary. He has also contributed greatly to the growth of Cao Wei. He has proven his position with practical actions. and loyalty.

Cao Cao also felt that he should not always doubt Fan Li, but the fact that Fan Li was the younger brother of Ming Prime Minister Fan Zeng stuck in his heart like a thorn. In addition, he was a suspicious person by nature, so he always had doubts about Fan Li. Fan Li was wary.

As for Yin Shou, as the son-in-law of the Cao family, he is naturally Cao Cao's absolute confidant.

However, because Cao Cao forcibly married Su Xinyue to Ying Hao in order to marry Da Qin, this caused Yin Shou's strong dissatisfaction with Cao Cao, which also made Cao Cao doubt Yin Shou's loyalty. Many conflicts broke out between the two parties. The conflict almost wouldn't have ended if it weren't for Fan Li.

The intelligence-depressing effect of Daji's "disaster water" was too strong. At that time, Yin Shou felt as if he had been decapitated. All he could think about in his mind was: I am afraid that the most powerful general in the Wei Kingdom will not be able to see his wife even after he has been dead for many years. I have been fighting bloody battles for your Cao Cao's dominance, but what did you, Cao Cao, do to me?

He knew that I also liked Su Xinyue, but he didn't care about my feelings at all. Even though Su Hu's family objected, he still forced Su Xinyue to marry Ying Hao...

Stimulated by multiple emotions such as dissatisfaction and grievance, Yin Shou gradually accumulated dissatisfaction with Cao Cao.

If Yin Shou was just an ordinary general, then he would just grumble, complain, and be submissive... These are nothing, Cao Cao is not that stingy, not to mention that Yin Shou was indeed wronged, and he could just comfort him afterwards.

But the problem is that Yin Shou is not an ordinary general. He is not only the leader of one of the five major factions of Cao Wei, but also the governor in charge of a quarter of Cao Wei's troops.

Yin Shou only cared about his grievances and venting his dissatisfaction, so much so that he neglected his identity, which caused Cao Cao to be wary of his power.

Cao Cao had never doubted Yin Shou's loyalty before, but when he learned that Yin Shou was so dissatisfied with him, his first thought was not to appease Yin Shou, but to discover that Yin Shou's power in Cao Wei was unexpectedly So big.

The state of Wei can function without anyone, but it can't function without two people, one is Cao Cao, and the other is Yin Zhou.

To put it bluntly, Yin Shou is Cao Wei's Li Cunxiao. Once he, Cao Wei's most powerful general, is missing, Zhu Ming's Niu Mowang will be unstoppable, and Cao's army's deterrence in the Central Plains will be greatly reduced, and it will be directly downgraded to the Central Plains. The weakest country among the three countries.

In addition, Yin Shou was also the leader of the foreign faction among the five major factions of Cao Wei. Many generals in the army were promoted by him, and they were naturally close followers of his faction.

As soon as he thought about this, Cao Cao suddenly realized that if Yin Shou rebelled, it was very likely that Wei would be destroyed as a result. This was really terrifying.

For a suspicious person like Cao Cao, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will grow naturally despite ineffective watering.

Therefore, even though he knew that what he did was unreasonable, Yin Shou, who was already dissatisfied, was undoubtedly a potential threat to Cao Wei, so Cao Cao not only failed to appease Yin Shou, but also suppressed him.

Cao Cao's suppression of Yin Shou was divided into two steps. The first was to tacitly allow Tantai Yu to challenge Yin Shou's position as Cao Wei's most powerful general, thus suppressing his prestige in the army.

Yin Shou's prestige in the army mainly comes from three aspects, one is his military exploits, the other is his bravery, and the third is his reputation as the number one in Cao Wei;

As a famous general in Hebei, Tantaiyu is a bit older and his future achievements will definitely not be as good as those of Yin Shou, but his advantage is that he has rich combat experience. If he can take away Yin Shou's title of No. 1 in Cao Wei from Yin Shou's hands, , which will undoubtedly cause a huge blow to Yin Shou's prestige.

As for the other two, they were politically isolated, and promoted and demoted in secret, gradually depriving Yin Shou of his military power, so that he would not dare to rebel even if he wanted to.

It has to be said that Cao Cao's methods of controlling his subordinates are quite powerful. With these two tricks alone, most people can be submissive and have no choice but to bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

Although Yin Shou belonged to the very few, he was severely punished by Cao Cao's two moves. At that time, he had not yet broken through the bottleneck, and he really could not suppress Tantai Yu, an old dragon across the river. And he was directly beaten by Cao Cao for playing politics. Cao Cao was crushed to a pulp and had no means to fight back.

This feeling of having nowhere to use his strength and nowhere to vent his anger simply drove Yin Shou crazy. He even had the idea of ​​​​replacing him directly like Zhao Kuangyin, but he quickly suppressed it rationally. .

Although Yin Shou's current situation is very similar to that of Zhao Kuangyin at that time, Cao Cao is not Yuan Shu. Cao Cao's abilities are so strong and his methods are so terrifying that even ten Yuan Shus combined cannot compare.

Regardless of the amount of military power Yin Shou currently holds and the support he has in the army, if he really rebels, more than half of the people will not support him, so there is almost no way to directly raise troops to rebel. The odds are a dead end.

Since he can't rebel, he can only resign and join other forces.

With Yin Shou's ability, he will definitely be reused no matter where he goes. But after working for Cao Cao for more than ten years, he left in despair and started everything from scratch. How could he be as willing as possible?

Although Yin Shou does not want to lose the power in his hands, as a strong man, he also has his own pride. He is really wrong and he admits his mistake. However, he does not think that he is wrong in this matter, so he wants him to bow his head and admit his mistake. Pride would not allow him to lower his head.

Cao Cao and Yin Shou, one was strong and the other was stubborn, so that things began to develop into a worse and worse situation.

Under Cao Cao's suppression, Yin Shou's military power was continuously deprived of him, and his former cronies began to alienate him, and he could no longer live up to his previous power. But even so, Yin Shou still refused to bow his head, as if he was breaking a jar, which made Cao Cao completely unable to step down.

Cao Cao didn't really want Tantaiyu to replace Yin Shou, and Tantaiyu couldn't replace him. After all, he was old and his potential had been exhausted. After all, the world still belongs to young people.

Cao Cao's real purpose of suppressing Yin Shou has always been to reduce Yin Shou's prestige and military power while also making him realize his mistakes and take the initiative to bow his head and admit his mistakes, so as to better serve himself.

Cao Cao never wanted to kill Yin Shou, nor did he want to completely deprive him of his power. Cao Wei was such a top general, and if he hid it and didn't use it, wasn't there something wrong with his brain?

But Cao Cao didn't expect that whether he was too aggressive or suppressed too much, Yin Shou himself was so embarrassed that he acted like he was in love.

In this case, even if Yin Shou's rights were restored, he would not be grateful for it.

Besides, both sides have reached this point. How could Cao Cao still dare to use Yin Shou without resolving Yin Shou's heartache?

Unless Su Xinyue is snatched back from Ying Hao's bed and given to Yin Hao, it may be possible for him to resolve the dissatisfaction in his heart, but what is the difference between the difficulty and the direct destruction of Da Qin?

Not to mention that Cao Wei and his family couldn't do it, even if all the forces joined forces, they couldn't do it.

It is recognized that Cao Cao suppressed Yin Shou, which actually caused a lot of trouble in the world.

After learning about this, Zhu Di, the king of the Ming Dynasty, was overjoyed. He openly mocked Cao Cao for being too old to do such a thing, which would make his relatives and enemies happy. He also shouted to Yin Shou from afar that if he could not stay in Wei After going down, you can come directly to Ming Dynasty, and he is also willing to treat you as the governor.

On the surface, Zhu Di said this to win over Yin Shou, but in reality, he had sinister intentions. He wanted to use this to force Cao Cao to kill Yin Shou. After all, Yin Shou also killed many generals of the Ming Dynasty. Where is the governor?

Qin and Song, two allies of Cao Cao and Wei, also sent envoys to inquire after learning the news, and Ying Hao even wrote a letter in person to persuade Cao Cao to be sensible and not to fall into Zhu Di's scheme impulsively.

Cao Cao naturally understood this in his heart, but now that he can no longer step down, is it possible for him to really bow to Yin Shou? Then how will he control Cao Wei in the future?

Just when the matter reached a stalemate and both sides didn't know how to end it, it was Fan Li, an outsider, who stood up and risked his life to resolve the conflict between the two sides.

When he saw Fan Li at his home, Yin Shou was stunned. During the period when he was suppressed, even his original confidants did not dare to pay attention to him, but Fan Li still dared to come to his door. This also made Yin Shou I felt a little moved in my heart.

Fan Li went straight to the point and said that he was here to save Yin Shou's life. Yin Shou's face changed drastically when he heard this. It was obvious that he couldn't believe that he had given in to this point. Even if Cao Cao was unwilling to let him go, he actually He also had the idea of ​​killing him. If that was the case, he would have no choice but to abandon his official position and run for his life.

"Does the governor feel wronged? Does he have the idea of ​​abandoning his post and running for his life?"

Fan Li asked two questions, but after Yin Shou thought about it, he only answered the first one.

"If you were me, wouldn't you feel aggrieved?"

Fan Li couldn't help but sigh: "Anyone who stands in the position of a governor will inevitably feel aggrieved. This is human nature, but are you really not wrong at all?"

Hearing Fan Li's words, Yin Shou looked unhappy and said, "What's wrong with me?"

"You are wrong. Even if you are obsessed with women, you are dissatisfied with the king because of women, and you still don't admit your mistake. As a result, you and the lord are in trouble. Now you have given up your official position to save your life. This is such a treason. idea.

Do you think any king in the world would allow a general like you to defect to his enemy's country?

If you stay in Cao Wei, you can still survive, but if you escape, you will definitely die. "

[Ding dong, Fan Li's skill 'Shang Sheng' has effects 3 and 5 activated in succession, Yin Shou's intelligence +3+3, and the negative effects received are halved;

Su Daji's skill 'Water of Disaster' reduces Yin Shou's intelligence by 26 points. Affected by the 'Shang Sheng' effect of 5, the effect is halved, and Yin Shou's intelligence is restored by 13 points. 1

Currently, Yin Shou’s intelligence has been restored to 75;]

Su Daji's skill 'Water of Disaster', Effect 2 Charm, is that after gaining the other party's trust, by how many points your own charm is higher than the other party's intelligence, you can reduce the other party's intelligence by that number.

Su Daji's basic charm is 108 points, and Yin Shou has a halo blessing on her, so that the disaster effect 1, Seduction, has increased her full charm attribute by 3 points, so what Yin Shou is actually facing is a charm attribute of 111. Su Daji.

It's no wonder that Yin Shou is so obsessed with Su Daji. His intelligence attribute is only 85. Facing Su Daji with 111 charm, his intelligence was suppressed by 26 points, and his intelligence attribute was directly reduced to 59, which is a failure. But It goes without saying that no matter how mindless he does in the future, it would not be surprising.

It has to be said that Su Daji's "Huoshui" is definitely the first intellectual-depressing skill in the world. Not only is it very effective, but it also has great stamina. It directly turned the famous general Yin Shou into a fool, allowing him to think about it later. All have lingering fears.

As for why Cao Cao, who is also an old pervert, is not affected by Su Daji's water disaster skills, there are three reasons:

First, Cao Cao himself has high intelligence attributes. Even if he is demoted, he will not be demoted so much that he will not lose his most basic judgment ability;

Second, in Cao Cao's heart, beauty is far inferior to hegemony. He even gave away his two daughters, so would he still care about Su Daji?

As for this third point, which is also the most important point, it is Cao Cao's personal quirk.

Cao Cao actually preferred mature women to young girls who had not yet left the court, so in his eyes, Daji was beautiful, but she did not have the charm of a woman, so she was not to his liking.

It was precisely because of the above three points that Cao Cao ignored Daji's charm and gave her to Ying Hao, who was extremely picky about food. He believed that Daji's delicious meal would definitely satisfy Ying Hao.
