Cao Liang did not tell Xiahou Xuan that the Sima family might launch a coup d'état, after all, Cao Liang himself did not know when Sima Yi would be in trouble, history had already become unrecognizable, and many things Cao Liang only relied on the knowledge he knew in the past to make any difference.

But Cao Liang knew that after the Sima family launched a coup d'état, Xiahou Xuan, who was the governor of Yongliang, instead of raising troops to Qin Wang, honestly obeyed Sima Yi's instructions, relieved the general of Zhengxi, and returned to Luoyang, where he was killed by Sima Shi a few years later.

Doesn't Xiahou Xuan know the consequences of his return to Luoyang? His cousin Cao Shuang had already been exterminated by Sima Yi at that time, as Cao Shuang's descendant force, he returned to Luoyang, is there a second way to go?

But Xiahou Xuan had to make such a choice, in Yongliang, although he was the governor of the capital, the scenery was infinite on the surface, but in fact he couldn't even mobilize a single soldier, after the Luoyang incident, even though he had the heart to go to the king, but did not obey his army, everything was in vain.

Otherwise, he learned from his uncle Xiahou Ba and rebelled and fled to Shu, but the arrogance in his bones did not allow him to do so, he could only return to Luoyang with the determination to die, but Sima Yi's subordinates showed mercy and did not harm him, but unfortunately after Sima Yi's death, Sima Shi, who did not tolerate people, finally poisoned Sima Shi.

At that time, Xiahou Xuan was convicted of attempting to rebel, in fact, this crime was ridiculous enough, Xiahou Xuan did not rebel when he was the governor of Yongliang, how could he try to rebel in Luoyang, where there was no power and powerless, the so-called crime of wanting to add, there is no excuse, Sima Shi wants to put his former uncle to death, no one can stop him.

The two sat down and chatted for a long time, until the time of the lamp, Xiahou Xuan thought that his mother had been waiting in the house for a long time, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.

Cao Liang went out to see him off and asked, "Brother Tai Chu returned to Beijing to report on his work this time, when are you going to return to Chang'an?" ”

Xiahou Xuan looked a little excited, and said: "About the end of the year, anyway, on the Yongliang side, there is no more than me, and there is no less than me." ”

Cao Liang didn't say anything more, and said goodbye to Xiahou Xuan.

In fact, Xiahou Xuan is a very tragic figure, he is a rare young Zhuang figure in Cao Shuang's group, talented, ambitious, and had the opportunity to rise to the top, but due to the fall of Cao Shuang, all Xiahou Xuan's dreams were shattered, and he was implicated by Cao Shuang, his power was lost, and he finally sat back and died in the hands of Sima Shi.

It can be seen that following Cao Shuang can only be a dead end in the end, and it is not a wise move for Cao Liang to draw a line with Cao Shuang at this moment.

Of course, even if he is not implicated by Cao Shuang, in terms of the relationship between Cao Liang and the Sima family, if the Sima family's rebellion is really successful, the first person Sima Shi wants to kill must be himself, and he will definitely not be able to escape.

Therefore, on the cusp of this storm, it is not that Cao Liang can retreat if he wants to, Cao Shuang can't count on it, Cao Liang can only find a way to compete with the Sima family by himself.

Time flies by in a flash, and soon the end of the year is coming, and the calendar of the first six years is about to turn over, and as soon as the new year passes, it will be the first seven years.

Cao Liang said that he was sick and did not go to Cao Shuang's banquet, so in the following days, he simply continued to call himself sick, and he did not go to the court, anyway, the auxiliary general is just a fictitious title, in name only, as for the position of the free cavalry permanent attendant, there are at least five or six people in the court who have this title now, and even the Son of Heaven is a puppet, and the ministers around him can do much of it, so the casual cavalry permanent attendant has become a fictitious title in name.

Not going to the court does not mean that Cao Liang has nothing to do, although he stayed in the Gaoling Marquis Mansion and stayed at home, but Cao Liang secretly planned the arrangement, because the annual ritual of worshiping the emperor will start again.

This can't help but make Cao Liang nervous, in history, Sima Yi's seizure of power was because of the Gaopingling incident, Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Shuang to accompany the Son of Heaven Cao Fang to the Gaopingling Mausoleum to worship the first emperor, suddenly attacked, and completely eliminated all the forces of Cao Shuang's family in one fell swoop, and since then Cao Wei's power has fallen into the hands of the Sima family.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, Cao Liang has already smelled some special smells, but judging from the current situation, this worship of Gao Pingling will not be a good opportunity for the Sima family to launch a coup d'état, because Sima Yi, as an auxiliary minister, has not completely withdrawn from the government, and Sima Yi is in power in the list of ministers who went out of the city to worship this time.

Now that the major affairs of the court and politics have been ruled by Cao Shuang, Sima Yi's name as the Taifu is more of a false title, and it can no longer be said to have any influence on the court.

Of course, Cao Shuang is happy to see it, since he became a general and auxiliary minister, the only competitor is Sima Yi, and now looking at Sima Yi's appearance of the last years, Cao Shuang has relaxed his vigilance, Sima Yi is about to die, why do you need to take precautions.

And the fact is that Cao Shuang was completely calculated by Sima Yi, after a bloody storm, Cao Shuang went to the guillotine, and Sima Yi, who was over seventy years old, was beaten hard by Cao Shuang's lifeline.

Of course Cao Liang will not be careless, even if Sima Yi travels with the car, Cao Liang does not give up preparation, God knows what Sima Yi thinks in his heart at the moment, if the Sima family really wants to seek power and seize the position, then Cao Liang must think of a good countermeasure.

The so-called Gaopingling Incident also coincided with the opportunity for Cao Shuang to go out of the city, so Sima Yi would use the stunt of killing with one hit, but there are three hundred and sixty days in a year, and God knows that this time is not the opportunity of the Sima family, so can Cao Shuang think so, as long as the opportunity is right, this coup will justifiably become the step of the Sima family's rise.

Therefore, Cao Liang secretly mobilized the team of the family members of the Grange into Luoyang City, and all of them were placed in the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, and the weapons they used, the crossbows, were also quietly transported in by Cao Liang through other means.

Today's Luoyang City is no longer as strictly guarded as when Cao Pi ascended the throne, as long as Cao Liang is willing, any hidden weapon can be escorted into the city by secret means.

Of course, the most important reason is the number of Caofu's team, in Luoyang, where there are many wealthy families, if you take one or two hundred families out, you won't be happy to greet others.

Cao Liang organized such a team, first of all, he still sought self-preservation, and the powerful lethality of the crossbow could play a great role in street fighting, even if it was to guard the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, it was more than enough.

However, to fight against the Sima family, you have to have a regular army, and the Xiao cavalry battalion is Cao Liang's biggest reliance. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
