This night was extremely long, and it was a torturous night for anyone in Gao Pingling.

The news of Sima Yi's mutiny and rebellion has spread throughout the entire camp, from the Son of Heaven to ordinary soldiers, their families are still in Luoyang City, no one knows what will happen to their families after Sima Yi's mutiny, will there be danger?

Because Sima Yi closed the city gate of Luoyang after the mutiny, there was almost no news about the city leaked, so the people of Gao Pingling were even more worried and panicked, and even many people fled.

Cao Xi was in charge of the guard affairs of the camp, and he cut down a large amount of firewood around the camp and arranged antlers to prevent an army from suddenly attacking.

When he was patrolling at night, he caught a lot of fugitive soldiers, according to military discipline, these deserters would all be executed, but seeing their panic and pleading, Cao Xi was moved and compassionate, and ordered someone to escort these deserters back to the camp and go to see Cao Shuang in person.

"Brother, whether to advance or retreat must be arranged early, if it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that there will not be a few soldiers left in the camp."

Cao Shuang looked sad, and said with a wry smile: "This is what I am most worried about, the families of these forbidden troops are all in Luoyang City, if we go away to Xuchang, I don't know how many people will follow?" If you really want to become a loner, I am afraid that you and my brother will not even be able to provoke a pavilion chief, and at that time I will be reduced to a prisoner, and I will not even have the last bargaining chip. ”

Cao Xi said worriedly: "That brother means that we will surrender to Sima Yi now and hand over the power of the Son of Heaven and the soldiers and horses?" I'm afraid this is not good, Huan Yuan thinks that Sima Yi cannot be trusted, even if he agrees now, he is afraid that he will settle accounts after the autumn. ”

Cao Shuang sighed and said, "Then let's wait for tomorrow to see, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”

The night was sleepless, and in the morning, the sky was clear, but the people in the camp were all living in a haze, all with a dark circle under their eyes, listless, and languishing.

Huan Fan also didn't sleep all night, originally he escaped from Luoyang this time, in order to help Cao Shuang, but he didn't expect Cao Shuang to be not interested in his suggestion, which undoubtedly disappointed Huan Fan, you know, if Huan Fan is not involved in this matter, he can stay out of the matter, judging from Sima Yi's personal appointment of him as the general of Xiaocai, at least Huan Fan still has a heart of reuse.

However, Huan Fan was still relatively loyal to Cao Shuang, and did not fall into the well because of Cao Shuang's loss of power, but escaped from Luoyang City without hesitation, and came to Gaopingling to give advice to Cao Shuang and help him tide over the difficulties.

Huan Fan still has great confidence in his plan, although Sima Yi controls Luoyang, the capital division, but the world of Great Wei is so big, there will always be a place where the Sima family can't reach out, as long as Cao Shuang leaves Luoyang, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the place, and gather the teachers of King Qin from all over the country, are you still afraid that Sima Yi will not be able to do it?

It's a pity that Cao Shuang is still hesitant, which makes Huan Fan very anxious, because he knows very well that Sima Yi can't let go of any enemy, and it is almost impossible for Cao Shuang to hand over his military power in exchange for the status of a rich man.

In fact, this mutiny was destined to be a life-and-death struggle from the very beginning, and there could only be one result, that is, either you die or I live.

But Cao Shuang didn't seem to see this, he always thought that he could exchange military power and his life, but unfortunately Sima Yi not only wanted his power, but also his life.

Huan Fan couldn't help but secretly regret something, he knew that this was the case, why did he have to step on this troubled water, in fact, this time out of the city, his son Huan Ze's suggestion played a key role, now think about it, this kid is simply a "pit father", if Cao Shuang fails to surrender, he will inevitably be implicated in the death of the clan.

The huge sense of crisis made Huan Fan difficult to sleep, and when he got up in the morning, he was in a hurry to see Cao Shuang, he had prepared a new rhetoric, hoping to impress Cao Shuang.

But when he came to Cao Shuang's camp, he was stopped by Cao Shuang's personal soldiers, Huan Fan was furious, and was about to be angry, but his personal soldiers told him that Cao Shuang was meeting guests, and the rest of the people were gone.

"Visitors?" Huan Fan couldn't help but complain secretly, it had fallen to this point, Cao Shuang actually had the leisure to come to meet guests, he subconsciously asked, "Who will be?" ”

"Taiwei Jiang Ji." The pro-soldier told the truth.

Huan Fan couldn't help frowning, this Jiang Ji is Sima Yi's person, he came to Gao Pingling this time, obviously to act as a lobbyist for Sima Yi, you know, Jiang Ji is one of the three princes, and his words still have a lot of weight, if Cao Shuang listens to his words, he is afraid that something bad will happen.

Jiang Ji came relatively early, and early in the morning, he left Luoyang City and went straight to Gaopingling.

Just yesterday, after Huan Fan fled, someone soon reported Sima Yi, Sima Yi shrugged slightly, and sighed: "Think tank!" ”

Based on this sentence alone, it can be seen that Sima Yi's evaluation of Huan Fan, Sima Yi is scheming, and has plotted against the people around Cao Shuang one by one, like He Yan, Ding Mi, Deng Yang and others, don't look at their power, Sima Yi didn't take them in his eyes at all, but Huan Fan is the person Sima Yi values the most, and he is also the most feared person.

Previously, Sima Yi made a long list of people from Cao Shuang's group, and people like He Yan, Sima Yi was all blacklisted, all of them were blacklisted, and they were all deposed to the end.

But there is an exception, that is Huan Fan, Sima Yi awarded him to the general of the cavalry, or has a deep meaning, when merging the state, Huan Fan as the central supervising army, and Cao Liang's relationship is irreversible, Sima Yi let Huan Fan be the general of the cavalry, which clearly means to divide Huan Fan and Cao Liang.

If Huan Fan accepts this position, it will obviously be the opposite of Cao Liang.

It's a pity that no matter how well Sima Yi's wishful thinking is, he didn't expect that Huan Fan not only did not respond to his orders, but escaped from the city and defected to Cao Shuang.

Originally, Cao Shuang was surrounded by a group of wine bags and rice bags, but now that Huan Fan is going, Sima Yi can't help but be a little worried, if Cao Shuang listens to Yu Huan Fan's strategy, it will be bad.

When Jiang Ji heard this, he smiled and said: "It's too much to worry about, although Huan Fan is wise, but Cao Shuang may not be able to listen to his words, crossbow horses love stack beans, it will be difficult to become a big thing." ”

Sima Yi was still a little uneasy, and said: "Huan Fan will go to Gaopingling, and he will definitely suggest that Cao Shuang go to Xuchang and summon soldiers and horses from all over the world to come to King Qin. ”

Jiang Jidao: "Tomorrow, I am willing to go to Gaopingling, and I will definitely persuade Cao Shuang to surrender." ”

Sima Yi was overjoyed and said, "There is Lao Zitong." ”
