Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 391 Defeating Cao Shuang, Sima Yi monopolizes power (8)
"Your Majesty is fine, that's really great." Huan Fan immediately put down a big stone in his heart, looked at Cao Shuang with piercing eyes, and raised his beard, and said with emotion, "Sima Yi refused the Lord behind closed doors, threatened the ministers, and hijacked the Queen Mother." , Conspiring against the law, it is really treasonous! General please bring Huan to see His Majesty, Huan is going to persuade His Majesty to move to Xuchang quickly, and issue an edict of King Qin to call on the Sifang Prefectures to raise troops to fight against rebellion!"

"This... this..." Cao Shuang hesitated, "Is this too steep?"

"Why is this so sudden? Xuchang was originally the accompanying capital of the Great Wei Dynasty. The city is strong and deep, and it is strong enough to hold on." Huan Fan said frankly, "The only thing to worry about is that there are enough soldiers and food. But the old man is going out of Beijing this time. I specially brought the official seal of the Great Secretary of Agriculture before, so that I can quickly collect food from the official warehouses of various states and counties to prepare for military needs. In this way, my great Wei Wangshi will be in all directions, and Sima Yi will have to sit in the isolated city of Luoyang, and he will undoubtedly lose !"

"'Serving the Son of Heaven to beg for disobedience'? General! Doctor Huan, this is a clever plan!" Lu Zhi said happily, "You guys should adopt it soon!"

Cao Shuang murmured, "Really... do you really want to confront old Sima? He is an old thief who is unpredictable and infinitely flexible. Back then, Zhuge Kongming was still invincible. How can this great general parry him? Sifang Prefecture Which one of the town generals is his opponent?"

"Great general! Regarding the matter of confronting him, this old man is willing to stand up and defeat him!" Huan Fan said sonorously, "This old man is confident that he has plenty of strategies in his pocket, which is enough to curb Sima Yi's rampant chaos!"

"This... this..." Cao Shuang still frowned, unwilling to make an immediate decision.He pondered for a long while, but then told Lu Zhi: "Lu Sima, Doctor Huan must be tired and hungry after traveling all the way... You can take him down to have a meal and rest. This general is still here Think about it carefully..."

"Oh! What time is this? How can this old man care about whether he is tired or hungry?" Huan Fan said anxiously, "General, you should make a decision now!"

Cao Shuang shook his head again and again: "Doctor Huan, don't push! Don't push! This is a big deal! This is a big deal! This general must think carefully about his affairs!"

Huan Fan had no choice but to be helped out by Lu Zhi. When he got to the door, he couldn't help turning around and shouting: "General, you must think carefully about the trade-offs—the old man will come to take orders later!"

After Huan Fan left, Cao Shuang let out a long sigh, and asked Cao Xi, Cao Xun, Cao Yan, He Yan, Deng Yang, Yang Zong, and Yu Song, "Everyone, after hearing Dr. How do you feel about the time?"

Yang Zong was the first to stand up and preach: "Doctor Huan's words are also out of good intentions, but he has always been prone to flirting, big and useless, General, you must listen carefully!"

Deng Yang also said coldly: "This matter of using troops to fight is not as easy as he said? He claims that he has the ability to fight Sima Yi, so why has he been unknown in the Wei military circle for many years? He is nearly [-] years old, but why did he still only get the official position of a big farmer? Forget it! Forget it! General, do you dare to rest assured that we will hand over our wealth and life to a bad old man like him? Is it?"

"This... this..." Cao Shuang's face froze, his tone froze, and he turned his gaze to He Yan again, "Master He, what do you think?"

He Yan's pink cheeks became even paler due to fear and fear, and he sighed deeply: "The strategy of 'serving the emperor to win over ministers' proposed by Dr. Huan is actually not bad. But Sima Yi has already grasped With the empress dowager and all the senior ministers as sharp weapons, we have almost offset seventy-eight out of ten of the advantages of our status as sons of heaven. Besides, His Majesty is the one who advocates 'governing the country with filial piety' the most, and he will allow us to use our weapons Directly pointing at the Empress Dowager? What is even more worrying is that the general and we may no longer be able to control the situation when we arrive at the capital of Xuchang."

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Shuang asked in horror.

"General, please think carefully. If it is true what Dr. Huan said, we will enter Xuchang in honor of the emperor, and then issue the edict of King Qin, calling on the Sifang towns to rush in for help-but look around, among these towns, we How much help can I get? First of all, Zhenbei General Pei Qian and Zhennan General Wang Chang have always been Sima Yi's confidantes, so they will definitely not come to help, but they may run to help Sima Secondly, although Xiahouxuan and Xiahouba's uncles and nephews were in charge of the Guanlong region, Guo Huai, Hu Zun, and Wei Pingping, the generals under their jurisdiction, were all former disciples of Sima Yi, so they were all different. Reliable! In the end, only the Huainan side, not to mention that Zhuge Dan, the governor of Yangzhou, is Sima Yi's relative, even Wang Ling, the general of Zhendong, and Linghuyu, the governor of Yanzhou, have ulterior motives and cannot be trusted! He is worried Yes, if we move the emperor to Xuchang, if Wang Ling, Linghuyu and his nephew have evil intentions, just like Dong Zhuo in the past, they will use the name of Qin Wang to set up chaos on the outside, and have the idea of ​​self-reliance in their hearts. General, what did you do at that time? They are heavily armed and close at the elbows! If we are not careful, we may have been attacked by them before we are attacked by Mrs. Sima!"

He Yan's words came down straight, which made Cao Shuang break out in cold sweat: "Oh! Thanks to Mr. He for reminding--this general almost missed his plan! Fortunately, we haven't gone to Xuchang, otherwise we would really be in a trap. Huan Huan. How could the doctor think so incompletely?"

At this moment, Yu Song spoke in a nonchalant manner: "General, please forgive Yu for speaking bluntly. Yu had previously heard the report from an eyeliner who went outside Luoyang City to inquire about news. When Sima Yi raised his army this morning, he used the Empress Dowager It is an extraordinary gift of kindness to enlist Dr. Tiao Huan to act as the leader of General Cao Xi in name! Why did Dr. Huan reject his former classmate, Sima Yi, who gave him such trust? Here, it is worth making People think deeply..."

"That's right! That's right! Maybe this is Huan Fan cooperating with Sima Yi to put on a double reed show for us! In fact, Sima Yi had tacitly bought him off a long time ago, and then he pretended to take risks and slipped out of the city to instigate you to raise troops Resisting will cause you to be charged with disloyalty, injustice, and disrespect, so that Sima Yi can "seal the throat with a sword" against us even more viciously!" Cao Xun also reminded Cao Shuang, "Brother—you are right Huan Fan’s suggestions must be more careful and weigh more! Don’t let someone betray you and keep you in the dark!”

"Since all of you are persuading me to not fight or fight as the best policy, should I really hand over power for nothing?" Cao Shuang looked at the people in the tent blankly, "Who... Who can guarantee that Sima Yi won't renege on his promise and become fat? Will he truly let go of this great general?"

"Your Majesty can guarantee it, and all the elders and ministers can guarantee it!" At this moment, a clear and loud voice suddenly came into the tent!
Cao Shuang and the others followed the sound and saw Yin Damu, Cao Shuang's confidant and the lieutenant of the Forbidden Army who had stayed in the palace in advance, opened the curtain and stepped in: "General, I have brought Taifu Sima here. The promise made in public at the Nine Dragon Palace..."

"Why hasn't Cao Shuang decided to drive back to Beijing until now?"

The young emperor Cao Fang's angrily voice sounded again in the resplendent royal tent: "This Cao Yan is really, he has been gone for so long—hasn't he convinced his elder brother yet?"

Chen Tai, Xu Yun, Zhong Hui and other three senior servants comforted Cao Fang in a warm voice.But Cao Fang just turned a deaf ear, put her hands on her hips, walked back and forth in the tent eight or nine times, stopped and ordered sharply: "Chen Tai, Xu Yun! You two go to Cao Shuang's place to urge him! Just say that I never like it." Living in the wild, if he doesn't make a quick decision, I will drive back to Beijing by myself!"
