Sima Yi's sentence of "no advice" undoubtedly expresses the essence of Huan Hai's conspiracy. It is important to know that subordinates often advise the monarch for a variety of purposes, sometimes to advise the monarch, sometimes to show their talents, and sometimes just to express their position to the monarch. Therefore, the subordinates who only know that blindly admonishing are at best excellent strategists. Only those who can figure out the monarch's mind, judge the situation, and know how not to advise can stand out from the many heroes and reach the height of a supreme minister.

In terms of the current situation, Cao Ang has had the heart of exchanging the Son of Heaven for Cao Cao from the beginning, and now Cai Ji has thrown out the initiative of "dividing the princes and using the feudal Ping Han" to give Cao Dagong as a step down, Sima Yi believes that it will not be long before Cao Ang and the Qian Peiwu people behind him will cooperate with Cai Ji to stage a good show of moving the capital and dividing it. After all, the lord of the Qiao Peiwu people, led by the Cao family and the Xiahou family, was Cao Cao, not the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The feudal princes not only fulfilled the wish of Qian Peiwuren and the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, but also avoided the threat of being liquidated by the Han family in the future. You must know that the Han family is certainly afraid that Cao Cao will follow Wang Mang's example and plot to usurp the throne. The Qian Pei warriors who supported Cao Cao would not forget the fate of the Huo clan in Hedong in the past.

However, even if he knew that the surrender of the Son of Heaven was a foregone conclusion, and his obstruction would only offend the Cao family's father and son and Chen Peiwuren, thus trapping the Sima family to death, it did not mean that his two brothers could openly express their support for Cao Ang. Because Xun Yu, who is opposed at the moment, represents another major faction under Cao Cao's account, the Ruying family.

It is said that although the Qian Pei family is Cao Cao's most trusted lineage, it is limited by birth and education. Most of the Chen Pei family are military generals, and there is a lack of literati strategists who can strategize. Xun Yu's timely appearance brought Cao Cao the support of the Ruying family, and his later policy of "serving the Son of Heaven into Xu" made Cao Jun leap from a powerful tribe composed of the township party to a dignified Han king. Cao Cao also entrusted the logistics and internal affairs of Cao Ying to the Ruying family headed by Xun Yu.

The Sima family from Hanoi was not Cao Cao's township party. It is not as deep as the foundation of the Ruying family. At this sensitive moment when the two major factions are facing each other, the weak Sima family is of course better to intervene less. Therefore, Sima Yi's so-called "no advice" does not mean to maintain neutrality, but to ask Sima Lang to support Cao Ang with practical actions. In this way, he did not leave a word for it, but also showed his loyalty to the Cao family.

Sima Lang, as the head of "Sima Bada", is not an idle person, and at this moment, without Sima Yi's explanation, he has already recovered from the word "do not admonish", and then said embarrassedly. "Fei Zhongda reminds me that I will cause trouble for my brother."

"Brother doesn't have to blame himself, but if he cares, he will be messy." Sima Yi smiled and comforted Sima Langdao. The brother in front of him is an example for Sima Yi to follow since childhood. Xun Lingjun's bearing and demeanor are even more ashamed of himself. Therefore, Sima Yi is confident that with Sima Lang's wisdom, it is impossible to analyze the current situation clearly. It is impossible for Xun Yu's city government not to see what is going on, and now his opposition is useless. But these two characters who made Sima Yi happy, but they were blinded by the word "care" at the most critical moment, and they reacted extremely irrationally.

In the final analysis, once the human heart has a bond, it cannot be detached, and if it cannot be detached, it cannot be calm. If you can't stay calm, you will inevitably lose your mind. Now it seems that Sima Lang has become entangled in the process of assisting the Cao family. As for Xun Yu, he was even more deeply entangled in the entanglement between Cao Cao and the Han family. In the face of such a living experience. Sima Yi can't help but secretly quit himself in his heart, whether he Sima Zhongda assists the Cao family or seeks another career in the future, he must not pay his sincerity to anyone or any force.

In fact, in these troubled times, few people will really pay loyalty. The vast majority of people strive for nothing more than their personal future and the interests of their families. Just like Xun Yu's eldest son Xun Yun at this moment, he was in the study of Xun Mansion, trying to persuade his father to accept the reality.

Dian Wei escorted Wu Shuo into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the palace city was also guarded by General Xiahou, and it was a foregone conclusion that the Son of Heaven would be transferred. If the prime minister escapes from danger and learns that his father obstructed the eldest son from saving his father, what would it be! ”

Xun Yu sat in front of the desk and worked hard to write, completely ignoring his son's soft grinding and hard bubbles. Because he didn't expect that Cao Ang, who had always been loyal and honest, would take matters into his own hands, he secretly sent Wu Shuo to ask Cai Ji for help in the name of the Son of Heaven. Xun Yu, who had been busy dispatching grain and grass south to supply Cao Ren, missed the best opportunity to intercept Wu Shuo. By the time he realized that the situation was not good, Wu Shuo had already left Xu Du and went straight to Qingzhou. At the same time, Xun Yu's shortcomings were also exposed. That is, there is no military power, and it is impossible to mobilize troops and horses to pursue Wu Shuo.

Don't look at Xun Yugui as Cao Cao's mastermind, but his influence in the army is extremely limited. Especially after welcoming the Son of Heaven into the Xu, Xun Yu and the Ruying family he represented were completely isolated from the military world, and almost never touched the military power. On the one hand, this is because the Ruying family has many talents in internal affairs and strategy, and on the other hand, it can also be seen that Cao Cao has always been wary of the family.

However, Xun Yu did not intend to give up on this. In his opinion, as long as Cao Ang has not surrendered the Son of Heaven, there is still room for reversal. At least he can use the power of the Ruying family to use public opinion to force Cao Ang to comply.

Seeing that his father was still indifferent after talking for a long time, Xun Yun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead. As Cao Cao's son-in-law, Xun Yun has a lot of contacts with the younger generation of the Cao family and the Xiahou family on weekdays, and knows that the Qian Pei family has long been tired of the Han Tianzi, and wishes that Cao Cao would replace him, and they would have been addicted to the founding fathers. The Ru Ying family is not in charge of the army, and it is not the opponent of Qiu Ba just by relying on the pen. Thinking of the consistent arrogant style of the Qian Pei martial artists, Xun Yun couldn't help but blurt out, "Cai Anzhen's proposal to divide the princes is what everyone expects. Now why should my father be a wicked man? ”

"Everyone's expectation?" Xun Yu suddenly stopped writing, looked up at his son and asked, "What is the public?" Is there you? ”

Facing his father's sharp eyes, Xun Yun turned his face away and said falsely, "The child is just telling the truth." ”

Xun Yu scolded, "You were born in a scholarly family, how can you be as fatherless as Qian Peiwufu, and treat the Han family as if you were abandoned!" ”

Just as Xun Yun was scolded by his father to the point of blood, he suddenly heard a sarcastic voice behind him, "This is wrong." Even the scholarly door also has the heart to ascend to the sky. ”

Xun Yun looked back at the voice, and saw the dusty Xun You standing at the door looking at their father and son with complicated eyes. Xun Yun, who didn't think much about it, hurriedly asked Xun You for help as if he was grasping a life-saving straw, "Brother Gongda, hurry up and persuade my father." ”

Although Xun Yu is Xun Yu's nephew in terms of seniority. is six years older than Xun Yu. Therefore, on weekdays, the two have always gotten along with each other as equals. At this moment, facing the uninvited Xun Yu, Xun Yu couldn't help but wrinkle his brows and said coldly, "Gongda is here to be a lobbyist?" ”

"Definitely." Xun Yu shook his head, lifted his robe, took off his shoes and went to the couch, looked at Xun Yu and sat down, "Yu came here tonight to inform Wen Ruo that Chen Changwen has entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Xun You's voice just fell. Hearing a click, the brush in Xun Yu's hand fell on the couch, and the ink splashed wantonly on the snow-white reed mat, leaving an extremely dazzling black stain.

Chen Qun. The character is long, a person from Yingchuan Xudu, and was opened by Liu Bei as a driver in Yuzhou in his early years. In the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao entered Xuzhou, and Chen Qun was made a subordinate of Cao Peng in Sikong Xi. Later, he was transferred to the military of the prime minister. Chen Qun's qualifications and reputation may not be as good as Xun Yu and Xun Yu's two uncles and nephews. But he is a recognized leader among the younger generation of the Ruying family. However, at the moment, the representative of the Ruying family was sitting in the Xiangfu Hall with a group of Qian Pei martial artists, listening attentively to Wu Shuo's report.

It is true that long before Wu Shuo returned to Beijing, Cai Ji's sixteen-character proposal had been transmitted to Xu Du through a secret letter and became a well-known secret. But at this moment, after listening to what Wu Shuo said in person, Chen Qun still couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart that Cai Ji's courage was amazing. It must be known that with Liu Xie's loss of the only bit of capital in the edict incident, "the Han family cannot be prosperous" has become the private consensus of many family lords. Cai Ji proposed at this time to "divide the princes and use the feudal screens to screen the Han", which immediately scratched the itch of the family valves in various places. Because once the feudal kingdoms are divided, not only can Cao Cao become the founding king, but those who follow the Cao family's father and son will also be promoted to the title of wife and son, and they no longer have to worry about being attacked by other princes in the name of supporting the Han. There is no need to worry about being liquidated by the Han family.

What is even more rare is that Cai Ji and his staff grasped the timing just right. Cao Cao will not release people early, and the Son of Heaven will change hands later. That is, at the moment, Liu Xie is anxious to escape from the clutches of the Cao family. Cao Ang was anxious to save his father, and without Cao Cao's suppression, Cao Ying's civil and military lines were able to release their long-suppressed desires. It is no wonder that once Cai Ji's proposal was conveyed, not only did the Xu Pei family rush to it, but even many people within the Ruying family were eager to try it. Poor Xun Lingjun still wants to use the power of the Ruying family to leave the Son of Heaven, but he doesn't know that this world has changed the world.

However, although Chen Qun attended the meeting on behalf of the Ruying family, out of the reserve of the children of the family, he just sat in a low-key corner at this time, and watched the Huangmen waiter Ding Chong and Wu Shuo deal with Wu Shuo with a cold eye.

Ding Chong, the word Youyang, a person from Pei County, in the past he had mentioned yì Cao Cao together with Xun Yu to welcome the Son of Heaven into Xu, which was a rare courage in the Qian Pei family. In addition, Ding Chong is still Cao Cao's hair, and the relationship between the two is very close. It is said that once Cao Cao invited Ding Chong to stay with him, and Ding Chong directly ridiculed Cao Cao and said, "In the past, I was mad and sick, and I was afraid of you." As a result, instead of getting angry, Cao Cao laughed and sent Ding Chong home.

The reason why Ding Chong came forward to help Cao Ang preside over the overall situation this time was because on the one hand, he was entrusted by Xiahou Dun and other fellow villagers of Qian Pei, and on the other hand, it was also related to Cao Ang's background. It must be known that Cao Ang was originally from Cao Cao's concubine Liu. Later, Liu died young, and the young Cao Ang was transferred to Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, to raise. Mrs. Ding, who has no children under her knees, has always regarded Cao Ang as her own. And Mrs. Ding is Ding Chong's sister. So in a sense, Cao Ang's success or failure is also related to the rise and fall of the Ding family.

At this moment, I heard Ding Chong say loudly, "Bu Du Dingding is a matter of social affairs, how can you act rashly." Why don't you come forward by the Son of Heaven first and order the Marquis of Qi and Marquis Wu to mediate the siege of Dangyang. ”

Before rescuing Liu Xie, Wu Shuo refused to return to the mountain, not to mention that when Cai Ji and Sun Ce would rescue Cao Cao was not something that the Son of Heaven could decide. So Wu Shuo immediately retorted, "Ding Shilang's words are wrong. Today's chaos is all caused by the prime minister's love for power. If the Cao family does not return to power, how can they solve the dilemma of being the sun? ”

Hearing Wu Shuo accuse Cao Cao of loving power in public, Cao Ying's civil and military faces, including Cao Ang and Xiahoudun, were a little embarrassed. But embarrassed and embarrassed, everyone had to admit that Wu Shuo had said it very politely. According to what the Cao family's father and son did before, it is not an exaggeration to sentence them to the crime of rebellious Zhu clan.

At the same time, Ding Chong glanced at Cao Ang without changing his face, nodded again and again and echoed, "Doctor Wu is reasonable, and it is really a top priority to return the son of power. ”

Cao Ang got Ding Chong's hint and hurriedly patted his chest and promised, "Doctor Wu, don't worry, Ang will lead the civil and military forces to invite the Son of Heaven to go to the court tomorrow." ”

What is pro-government? Is it the upper dynasty? Is it to order out of the Imperial City? Or will you bring the Cao family father and son to justice? Wu Shuo secretly mocked in his heart, while uncompromisingly carrying out Cai Ji and Sun Ce to pressure Cao Ying's civil and military forces, "Forgive the old man, just being so difficult to win the trust of Qi and Wu Erhou. ”

Just when the atmosphere at the scene was at a stalemate, Chen Qun suddenly spoke, "Wu Hou is really joining forces with Qi Hou? ”

Wu Shuo glanced at Chen Qun, "How can the old man have a face-to-face interview with Wu Hou's brother?" ”

"Wu Hou's brother is Wu Hou's brother, Wu Hou is Wu Hou, you can't generalize." Chen Qun reluctantly asked, "If Marquis Wu and Marquis Qi really have the heart to protect the Son of Heaven and move the capital, they should send an envoy to Beijing to face the saint, otherwise how can they win the trust of others?" ”

Chen Qun's words expressed the voice of Cao Ying's civil and military affairs. The prospect of dividing the princes and their ascension to heaven is of course extremely tempting, but everyone is even more worried that Cai Ji will deceive behind his back. In particular, the statement about Cai Sun's joining forces has so far only been one side of Wu Shuo's words. In case Wu Shuo and Cai Ji teamed up to set up a game to kidnap the Son of Heaven, making Cao Ying's bamboo basket empty, wouldn't everyone present be a laughing stock in the world.

So after Chen Qun finished speaking, Cao Ang also echoed in a euphemistic tone, "If you don't believe in the doctor, it's really a matter of importance, don't act hastily." ”

Wu Shuo saw that Cao Yingjun refused to make any more concessions, but he did not continue to hard top. In the final analysis, Liu Xie's life is still in the hands of the Cao family, and if he really provokes the people sitting in front of him, it will not benefit anyone. In addition, Chen Qun's questioning also made Wu Shuo faintly feel a little weak. But regardless of whether Cai Ji cheated or not, Cao Ying was already divided within the camp under the influence of his 16-character initiative. Therefore, in order to rescue the Son of Heaven and in order for the Han family to continue, Wu Shuo must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Thinking of this, Wu Shuo immediately shook his sleeves, and bowed his hand to Cao Ang with retreat, "Since this is the case, please keep your promise and return to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible!"
