My husband Zhuge Kongming

After a while, Le Jin asked, "Prime Minister, is Liu Bei, no, the general still in Jiaozhou as the rumors say?"

"It should be." Cao Cao nodded, "But we will return to Xuchang soon."

"I wonder what outcome the Prime Minister wants in the end?" Yu Jin then asked, "Just to ensure that the emperor reaches Luoyang safely? Or?"

"On the way to Luoyang, the emperor was attacked by rebels, so he turned back to Yecheng." Cao Cao said with a smile, "As for those rebels, they were killed on the spot."

This time, the three people below completely understood Cao Cao's goal, but what they were surprised about was why Cao Cao found the three of them instead of the generals of Cao or Xiahou.

Of course, it goes without saying that the three of them are loyal to Cao Cao.

"Since the Prime Minister asked me to protect the safety of the Emperor, I will complete the task even if I risk my life." After a while, Zhang Liao looked at Cao Cao and expressed his attitude first.

"The last general dares to issue a military order!" Yu Jin was even more direct.

Le Jin looked at the two of them and laughed angrily, "Prime Minister, the last general also wants to issue a military order!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Okay, Cao Cao has no doubts about the loyalty of the three of you. Let me tell you first, if the emperor is in Luoyang and is attacked on the way, how will the emperor be safe and how will the rebels be eliminated?"

The three of them stopped hiding and began to make detailed plans with Cao Cao.

Sima House.

Sima Yi sighed, looked at his child, and then at his wife, "Chunhua, I have to find a way to send you mother and son out of Yecheng."

"No." Zhang Chunhua refused directly, "Do you think the Prime Minister is going to lose?"

Sima Yi smiled bitterly, "It's difficult to succeed."

"Why?" Zhang Chunhua was puzzled.

In her opinion, although the south is powerful, it does not have as many troops as Cao Cao. In addition, Cao Cao has the emperor in his hands, so he is not afraid.

After a long time, Sima Yi said, "The enemy is too strong."

"Too strong?"

"Before the alliance to defeat Cao, Liu Bei only had more than 3 troops to fight. At that time, Xuchang's more than [-] troops could defeat the prime minister's tens of thousands of troops." Sima Yi explained, "Now that the alliance to defeat Cao has been formed, Liu Bei has more than [-] troops to fight in. We also have more than [-] soldiers. During this year, we just need to prepare for war."

"Husband, what do you mean, a fight is about to start?"

"It's not too far away. Liu Bei asked the emperor to return the capital because he wanted to start recruiting."

"what?"

"As soon as the emperor moves, Liu Bei will have the opportunity to welcome the emperor." Sima Yi explained, "If the emperor really comes into Liu Bei's hands, it goes without saying that most of the prime minister's territories in these states will directly rebel."

"Then the Prime Minister will not take precautions?"

"I know how to take precautions, but even if I take precautions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win."

"The Prime Minister still has so many troops!"

If Sima Yi remains silent, there are many large armies, and they may be able to give Liu Bei a fight, but after that, will Cao Cao still have the strength to do other things?
He also understood that Zhang Chunhua's perceptions were based on the information she knew. After all, he rarely talked about official business at home.

A war was inevitable, and he really didn't want his family to be threatened.

"Is the situation really that bad?" Seeing her husband's expression, Zhang Chunhua knew that the situation was already very bad.

"Yes." Sima Yi nodded, remembering that he had exposed his weakness to Cao Cao before, and held his wife's hand, "Madam, don't worry, Yi will not let anything happen to you mother and son."

Since he has no choice at the moment, he can only continue to follow Cao Cao.

The next day.Sima Yi went to the ironmaking workshop to find Cao Pi.

"Zi Huan."

"Why is Zhongda here?" Cao Pi was happy to see Sima Yi.

"Let's take a look at the progress of the iron-making." Sima Yi also said with a smile.

Cao Pi hurriedly greeted Sima Yi and said, "The progress of iron smelting is much better than last year. A lot of soldiers and armor have been supplied to the troops, but the output is not high. In other words, Pi still needs more." artisan."

Sima Yi was stunned, more craftsmen?

You know, for more than a year, they have been recruiting craftsmen from the North, and almost everyone they can recruit has been recruited.

"My father now wants to promote the land transfer system, so the craftsmen from various aristocratic families may be able to help." Cao Pi continued, "However, the mining of raw iron ore has delayed the progress. Pi has already reported to his father and applied for the use of land. The army is mining, or when the dictated land system is promoted, families that are unwilling to cooperate can also help add some people."

The expression on Sima Yi's face remained unchanged.

In fact, he felt sorry for Cao Pi's cold-bloodedness.

Cao Cao wants to promote the system of land transfer through planning and dictation. Indeed, many aristocratic families in the North will lose their heads.

But Cao Pi took it too much for granted, right?Bring over all the craftsmen supported by the aristocratic family?Then we can't wait until every family is destroyed?
"What Zihuan said is also a way." Sima Yi did not deny Cao Pi's idea, but agreed.If the various aristocratic families really reach that point and contribute their strength, they can increase Cao Cao's chances of winning.

"However, my father doesn't seem to agree."

Sima Yi sighed, "Zihuan's method is a good one, but it must be implemented after the system of land transfer through oral planning is promoted. It is not appropriate to implement it now."

Cao Pi suddenly realized that it seemed to be the case. Now, the various families are still their subjects. It is not good to openly rob them like this. "Pi, you have learned a lesson."

Sima Yi just nodded and didn't hide.

At least, he and the Cao family are on the same page now.

"Iron smelting is a major matter. During this time, Yi will work with Lingjun to promote the system of planning and dictating land. This will be left to Zihuan."

"Pi understands." Cao Pi nodded, "However, the masters who are studying crossbows have encountered some problems these days."

"Crossbow arrows?" Sima Yi thought for a moment, "There are some books on this subject in Yi's mansion, and I will send them to them this afternoon."

"Seriously?" Cao Pi grabbed Sima Yi's hand and laughed, "Zhongda is really Pi's savior!"

Cao Pi was very happy, and that's right. The Sima family has never cut off its inheritance for thousands of years. Of course there will be such a collection of books at home!

Unlike their Cao family, who made their fortune midway, their background is not enough in the end.

Thinking about it this way, the books collected by various aristocratic families in the North were really a coveted treasure. Thinking of this, Cao Pi narrowed his eyes.

"Okay, Zihuan." Sima Yi couldn't tell what Cao Pi was thinking. He was too young after all. "Yi has to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first."

"Okay, please be slower on the way to Zhongda." Cao Pi waved his hand happily.

Sima Yi sighed and said goodbye to Cao Pi.

He came here ostensibly to see the progress of iron-making. In fact, he originally wanted to ask Cao Pi for a small favor.

But Cao Pi's reaction also allowed him to see clearly that the other party was just like Cao Cao, only looking for profit.

Therefore, he gave up his original plan and planned to find other opportunities. After all, he wanted to keep his family safe.
