Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 649

In order to hide their identities so as not to cause trouble for the Xu family, the armor and weapons of the Imperial Army cannot be used.

The brothers of the Xu family made secret preparations after making a plan. Sima's family was in the midst of a happy spring, and they were completely unaware of the upcoming danger.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, while stabilizing the political situation, he secretly withdrew his power. In terms of external defense, he tried his best to refer to Cao Cao's will.

After the death of the general Xiahou Dun, Cao Pi worshiped Cao Xiu as the general of Zhennan. On holiday, he supervised the military forces in Jingzhou, represented the governor of Jingzhou, and was named Dongyang Tinghou, responsible for defending against Guan Yu; Feng Chenhou, responsible for fighting against Sun Quan; worship Cao Zhen as the general of Zhenxi, the governor of the Yongliang military, responsible for guarding the northwest border, and enter Dongxianghou.

Cao Wei's internal forces are intertwined. In addition to the power of the Cao clan, Cao Pi's succession mainly relied on the Henan gentry. The key position, and at the same time slowly start to attack and eliminate dissidents.

Because of the frequent use of people close to him, Sima Fu, the concubine of the middle school, worried that his strides would cause dissatisfaction among the damaged gentry, so he advised Cao Pi to give up some positions.

Because of Cao Cao's high prestige in the north, the news that Cao Pi was the king of Wei spread to Siyi, and the foreign tribes such as Yanqi Shanyu, Fuyu Shanyu, Yanqi King, and Khotan King all sent envoys to pay tribute to each other.

When Cao Pi saw Siyi coming to court, he was full of pride, and the throne of Wei Wang could no longer satisfy his ambitions, and the words "king of the world" echoed in his ears.

Cao Pi did not have the burden of Cao Cao's reluctance to replace the Han Dynasty. Xiangguo Huaxin and other confidants understood his intentions and began to secretly prepare for the abdication of the emperor.

After Xiahoudun's death, the eldest son Xiahouchong became the new head of Xiahoudun's lineage after taking over the title of Marquis of Gao'an Township.

At the beginning of June, Cao Pi summoned Xia Houmao to meet him in Yecheng. He had recently settled down with his close ministers, and he did not forget his old friend.

Xu Chu was ready to do it, and sent someone to send a letter to Xia Houchong to inform the agreement that Xu Chu happened to be sick at home these few days.

Xia Hou came to Xu's residence with a cover-up, and Xu Chu was very surprised when he saw it: "The action is imminent, and Mr. Ziman is not working in Xudu, so why come to Yecheng? Could it be that the secret letter has not been received?"

"General Xu, don't worry, Xu Du has made arrangements and will definitely act on the agreed time." Xia Houchong nodded slightly.

"Then why are you?" Xu Chu hesitated to speak.

Xia Houchong replied: "I came to Yecheng with Zilin (Xia Houmao), just to confirm with you again, besides night clothes, swords and other things, what else did you cover up?"

"Huh? How else do you want to cover it up? It's enough to kill and silence." Xu Chu's face was full of question marks.

Xia Houchong shook his head and said: "Sima is not an ordinary family. The general has to prepare something for them. Otherwise, the king will definitely investigate this matter to the end because of his affection. At that time, it is impossible to guarantee that his feet will not be exposed."

Xu Chu scratched his head and replied, "I'm a warrior, I only know how to kill people under orders, so how can I prepare anything?"

Xia Houchong took out a stack of letters from his bosom, "Sun Quan sent people to send letters to my late father many times, saying that Jiang Dongbing had rescued Yu Jin in Jingzhou, and wanted King Wei to redeem him at a price of one billion yuan, so I asked someone to imitate him." The handwriting of Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin, wrote a few letters to Sima Yi, in addition to the letter pretending to be Guan Yu, and the letter of Ji Miao and others who caused chaos in Xudu the year before last."

Xu Chu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly clasped his fists in salute to thank him: "Ziman is worthy of being the queen of the general, and he is really full of wisdom."

Xia Houchong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Where did the wise plan come from? It's just a little knowledge of politics. If a big family like Sima doesn't accuse him of surrendering to the enemy and treason, he can't stop the people in the court. Even if the king wants to It’s not easy to say about protecting.”

"I can save it." Xu Chu picked up a letter and nodded.

"The general can just put these letters in Sima Yi's study, and I remember that General Zilian and Sima Yi have a rift, so such a big matter will definitely send important officials to investigate, and it must be General Tuogu, the important minister, and it may not be done at that time. "Xia Houchong continued to add.

"Wonderful, the chains are intertwined. After all, I and other warriors can't think of it." Xu Chu's face was full of admiration.

"General Miao Zan. I'm used to the strife of officials, but it's just like a cat and a tiger." Xiahou was full of humility. Although the scheme was a bit sinister, they were all doing things for Cao Cao, and they couldn't end up hurting themselves.

Xia Houmao and Cao Pi had a very happy talk, and Cao Pi stayed in Yecheng for a while. Xia Houchong returned to Xudu on the pretext of family affairs.

In late June, Yecheng welcomes summer.

During the day, the cicadas on the trees sing lazily, but at night, the insects in the grass, like chasing me to catch a song, their neighing did not stop until midnight.

Sima Yi lay on the couch and fell asleep. He dreamed that Cao Cao was sitting in the hall and gave him a scroll, saying: "You have worked hard these years, and you have made great achievements in exterminating Liu Bei in Western Shu and capturing Sun Quan in Jiangdong for the Great Wei. A gift from Matu."

Sima Yi in the dream was ignorant, thinking that the world has been pacified?His mouth gave thanks and his hands received the reward.

Then unfold the picture scroll in front of Cao Cao, and there are indeed hundreds of horses of different sizes galloping.

When Sima Yi was admiring it, he suddenly realized something was wrong, because those horses had sharp horns on their foreheads.

"My lord, although these horses are painted vividly, why do they all have horns on their heads?" Sima Yi was very puzzled.

Cao Cao suddenly frowned and scolded: "It's not Gu's painting, how do you ask Gu to answer? You are proud of being favored, can you blame Gu?"

Sima Yi was startled, and quickly knelt down to explain: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I have no other intentions, but I don't know what the horns on the horse's head mean."

"Bold, you are still talking nonsense here, and you don't pay attention to Gu at all, Xu Chu, take it down for me."

After Cao Cao yelled angrily, Xu Chu appeared in front of Sima Yi, and two tiger guards, one on the left and one on the right, set him up.

"I'm innocent" Sima Yi struggled frantically and broke away from the burly Tiger Guard.

When did I become so powerful?Sima Yi looked at his hands in disbelief, and suddenly a big hand came towards him and slapped his face firmly.

With a bang, Sima Yi looked at Xu Chu in horror, for he would definitely not be able to beat Huhou.

Sima Yi kept shaking his head in his dream, and suddenly opened his eyes, and by the bright moonlight outside the window, he found that Zhang Chunhua was patting his face.

"Bitch, how dare you hit me?" Sima Yi struggled to sit up, feeling his face was burning. How dare this woman slap herself madly while she was asleep?
"Husband, are you awake? I was scared to death just now, and I thought you were in a daze." Zhang Chunhua smiled after being scolded angrily.

Sima Yi pointed at Zhang Chunhua and cursed: "Evil woman, how dare you murder me!"

Seeing that Sima Yi was about to make a move, Zhang Chunhua shrank back into the shadows in fright.

"what"

"Bitch, I haven't hit you yet, what's your name?" Sima Yi shouted angrily.

"It's not me." There was grievance in Zhang Chunhua's voice.
