Chapter 1617: Their Respective Determinations
After having a definite answer, Sima Yi smiled twice, sure enough, there was no determination to splash the emperor's clothes with blood, and it was better not to participate in this matter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You're going to stay with me for a while." Zhong Xuan said to Sima Yi, "But you also know that I made this choice, which means that I am destined to be a marginal figure on Cao Sikong's side in the future, although you have responsibilities and Boda is in front, but this is not enough." ā
"It's nothing, it's not directly out of Cao Sikong's side, so it's nothing." Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I've been disturbed for a while. ā
"In the study, except for the booklets, you can read other classics, your brother came to greet me before." Seeing that Sima Yi didn't take this matter to heart, Zhong Miao didn't say anything, pointed to the study and said.
Sima Yi raised his eyebrows, "How much did my brother spend to make you like this." ā
"So many of the books I'm reading were given to me by your brother." Zhong Miao began to study Cai Yong's book again, "So, you can copy whatever classics you like." ā
Sima Yi's brows jumped wildly, Zhong Xuan is Cai Yong's brainless fan, and everyone in Chang'an knows that he is so brainbroken that he can do something to brush the lower limit for Cai Yong's books.
Of course, this is Sima Yi who didn't know that Zhong Jian saw the whole Cai Bojiao calligraphy in the hands of his friend in the future, and he broke his family to change his friends and didn't change them, so angry that he vomited blood, and finally broke off his friendship, and what was even more ruthless was that after he killed the ex-friend, he didn't hesitate to dig the grave to get that thing in his hands.
If Sima Yi knew these things, he would definitely be far away from Zhong Xuan, and the brain-dead fans couldn't be provoked at all, fanatical, and how terrible the brain-dead fans who had the ability to execute and were also powerful just looked at Zhong Xuan, what is the lower limit, nothing can stop him except death!
Looking at Zhong Xuan, who had entered the fanatical mode and started to study again, Sima Yi turned his head silently, to be honest, he felt that Zhong Xuan was not simple, his mind was not on government affairs, and he spent eighty percent of his time studying Cai Yong's calligraphy every day, and he could still sit firmly in the position of Shangshu.
After Sima Yi finally passed on a wave of news to Cao Ang, he said that he seemed to be exposed, so he didn't appear much recently, and Cao Ang didn't care, his cousin Xiahou Shang had already calculated almost, don't worry about it at all, Sima Yi looks very powerful, but how can he have his own family to use it.
"Boren, let's put it simply, first of all, what may happen after that, everything has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven, can you do this?" Cao Ang sent Cao Pi to play with a group of children from the family, and then left Cao Zhi to the Great Confucian to learn poetry and songs, and he finally had some time to educate his cousins.
"It's very simple, big brother, you can rest assured." Xiahou Shang said conceitedly, "These are all turmoil caused by some chaotic parties plotting to kill the Son of Heaven, I have already arranged people in the southern army of the Son of Heaven, and when the time comes, it will be a fact." ā
"Can you not make it so big?" Cao Ang said with a little headache, his brother is a little unreliable, smart is smart, but this kind of exuberant momentum makes Cao Ang always have a suspicion that this guy will mess things up.
"If it's not so big, how can it be a real rebellion?" Xiahou Shang pursed his lips and said, "It's easier to make a big fuss, some things don't make a big fuss, if we take them into custody directly, we won't be able to pass the eyes of the world." ā
"There are some things that you do in a dignified manner, without any personal intentions, but have miraculous effects, after all, Dong Cheng and others want to defeat us, and it is indispensable to strike first." Xiahou Shang stared at Cao Ang and said, "The news from Zhongda has already explained a lot of problems. ā
"But in that case, I'm afraid that Chang'an will be in chaos if you're not careful." Cao Ang said with a wry smile, "There are not a few people that Dong Cheng and the others can gather, and at that point, there will definitely be some people who will emerge." ā
"That's why I said that we can come with dignity, the southern army of the Son of Heaven is our people, as long as we resist Dong Cheng and others, and use the soldier symbol to quell the chaos of the southern army of the Son of Heaven, and who is rebellious at that time, you can know at a glance." Xiahou Shang said confidently.
"Big brother, don't you understand, this is the best time for Dong Cheng and the others, and in the same way, this is also your uncle's test for you." Xiahou Shang saw that Cao Ang was still concerned about the destructive power of the army in Chang'an, and immediately spoke.
Cao Ang's eyes couldn't help but narrow when he heard this, he also suspected that this was his father's test for him, but he had thought a lot before and after, if it was a test, his father didn't need to take away all the soldiers and horses, and the wise and resourceful people.
The so-called knowing son is more than his father, but the reverse will not be too wrong, Cao Ang actually vaguely understood what his father meant, which is also an important reason why he ordered to protect the son of heaven.
[Speaking of tests, I'm afraid this is not my test, but I should be the test of the Son of Heaven, my father probably wants to see how far the Son of Heaven can go, but my father has already gone to the north, so if the Son of Heaven passes, how can he guarantee the Cao family and the Xiahou family? ć
Cao Ang lowered his head and thought silently, he didn't believe that his father would pin the lives of more than 100 people up and down the family on the benevolence of Dong Cheng and others, it seemed that Cao Cao had tens of thousands of troops outside, but what if he pretended to be confused one day?
In case of suppressing the Cao clan internally, contacting Liu Bei externally, and swallowing all Cao Cao's forces in one go, wouldn't it be more stable? Chang'an cut off Cao Cao's transportation line and sent a letter to Liu Bei in front, even if Cao Ang had confidence in his father, he didn't believe that under that condition, Cao Cao could retreat.
[So who will be the guarantee?] The side of the text guessed, who would be the side of the martial arts? Cao Ang thought with a little headache, but he soon gave up, there was still a considerable gap between him and those top wise men, and Xun Yu's arrangement was not so easy to debunk.
"Big brother, are you still hesitating?" Xiahou Shang frowned and said, to be honest, his cousin, who had always admired him very much in his heart, was so indecisive at this moment, which really made him very dissatisfied.
"It's not hesitation, in fact, on the whole, it's nothing more than whether Dong Cheng and others will attack us." Cao Ang shook his head and said, "Actually, Boren, have you thought about it, what is the most correct thing for the Son of Heaven to do, do you know?" ā
"Isn't it true that you will take us down and then threaten your uncle?" Xiahou Shang said without thinking about it, in his opinion, this is the most direct and effective way.
"Sure enough, although you are suitable, there is still a gap between you and Sima Zhongda." Cao Ang shook his head and said, seeing that Xiahou Shang was slightly angry when he heard this, Cao Ang opened his mouth and said, "Sima Zhongda told me that the most important thing for the Son of Heaven to do now is actually to parade. ā
"Cruise?" Xiahou Shang was taken aback, and then suddenly reacted, "Sima Zhongda didn't tell the Son of Heaven about this." ā
"Nope." Cao Ang shook his head, "He is our man, but he has mixed in with the Son of Heaven, and he told me that if the Son of Heaven chooses to parade during this year's harvest, he will gain a very big advantage, and there will be countless people among the middle and low-level officials, as well as the low-level people, to support the Son of Heaven." ā
"The so-called wind and rain are smooth, and the merits of the Son of Heaven are also." Cao Ang shook his head and repeated to Xiahou Shang what Sima Yi had said to him before.
"......" Xiahou Shang was silent for a while, his original surprise couldn't help but fade, swept away the previous frivolity, looked at Cao Ang and said, "Big brother, let's do something that makes the Son of Heaven taboo!" ā
"We forced them to do it first, and then we confined them...... Son of Heaven, Sima Zhongda's so-called inspection is not only to inspect Zhuxia, but also to inspect the ministers, uncle is not there, once the Son of Heaven really has power, the courtiers who are now subdued by us will probably fall with the wind! Xiahou Shang said directly in his heart.
"Taboo?" Cao Ang pressed his temple, "Strengthen the manpower of the inner city first, and don't do the same thing before, but if the Son of Heaven wants to go out, it is really difficult to stop it." ā
"The Son of Heaven has not moved for such a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay attention to this aspect, let's let the court become our people first, and tomorrow we will find someone to impeach Dong Cheng for occupying the acres of land reclaimed by the people of Chang'an." Xiahou Shang had completely recovered his state at this time, and there was no contempt for him.
"It's completely useless, Dong Cheng is the Son of Heaven......" Cao Ang understood halfway through his words.
"That's it, spread the resolution of this court meeting all over Chang'an, and the people will probably be happy to hear these things, and we will solve them at the cost of offending the country." Xiahou Shang chuckled and said, "The will of the people and the will of the people can be played with at will for us and others. ā
"In addition to this, we can also find a group of people to impeach us in various ways, only impeach those who occupy many acres of land, and repeat all the opposite, and by the way, I will find some materials for people to impeach us." Xiahou Shang is also really talented and learns when he is serious, and soon he has all kinds of ideas.
"You can arrange the manpower, but let's not push them too hard, try not to do it if you can, and try to delay it until the news of my father's return to Chang'an is confirmed." Cao Ang thought for a while and said to Xiahou Shang.
Cao Ang is not an indecisive person, after making up his mind, he no longer hesitates, but how to say, sometimes the opponent's IQ falls below the bottom line and the opponent's IQ soars above the upper line, which means that your plan is completely ineffective.
Just when Cao Ang made up his mind, Cao Cao had already received an urgent letter from Liu Bei, but Cao Cao's situation was similar to Liu Bei's, and the two of them led mostly elite infantry and steadily advanced in the rear.
Therefore, after receiving Liu Bei's news, Cao Cao thought that it was still a friendly army now, and it was likely to become a long-term friendly army in the future, so after gathering the civil and military ministers to discuss it, he sent 5,000 men and horses to march to the north under the leadership of Xiahou Dun.
"What do you think about Liu Xuande, isn't this nonsense? I'm farther away from Shanggu than him, how can I possibly catch up to save Chen Zichuan? Cao Cao said to Xun Yu, and Cao Cao couldn't help but speculate about Liu Bei with some malice, and asked Xun Yu with compassion, "Do you say that Liu Xuande wants to attack Chen Zichuan." ā
Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao speechlessly, since the showdown between Cao Cao and Xun Yu, Xun Yu has completely turned Xun Yu into the most intimate confidant, in short, can you say it or not, whether it is a complaint or not, give Xun Yu a first time, after a little time, Xun Yu suddenly felt that Cao Cao was also quite bored.
"My lord, this is impossible." Xun Yu said helplessly, "If you don't inform you, it's still possible, and if you do, it can only be said that Liu Xuande cares about it now." ā
"Then do you think Chen Zichuan has a little plan for this action." Cao Cao nodded, he was indeed talking nonsense, seeing that Xun Yu was still a gentleman, he became serious and asked with a solemn look.
"No matter how bad the situation is, it can't be as bad as Liu Xuande thinks, Chen Zichuan doesn't like to take risks, and it is his habit to play steadily, although this time it is against his previous habits, but if he is not sure, it is impossible to do so." Xun Yu shook his head and said, his face was still calm.
"That's right, one step is three steps, and the characters who still have the energy to observe left and right, how can they put themselves in danger, but it is said that with Liu Xuande's personality, it is impossible to speak falsely in this regard." Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and also felt that what Xun Yu said was very reasonable.
"There are several existing princes in the world, in addition to us and Sun Bofu in the north, Chen Zichuan is also very curious about Zhou Gongjin, after all, the two are similar in age, and they have risen between the rivers and lakes in almost a few years, I think not only Chen Zichuan is interested in Zhou Gongjin, but Zhou Gongjin can't erase that curiosity." Xun Yu said calmly.
"The young generation in this era is indeed very good, especially under Liu Xuande, Guo Fengxiao, Fa Xiaozhi, Xu Yuanzhi, Chen Zichuan, all young talents." Cao Cao said with emotion, and he couldn't help but have some crises in his heart.
"It's not just excellent." Xun Yu said with a little melancholy, he always felt that his family was enough of it, but after coming out and mixing it, he found that the world is really very vast, and there are really countless outstanding people.
"Hahaha, that's fun." Cao Cao laughed, and then habitually looked south, his eyes as if he had passed through the camp and saw Chang'an.
"yes, I'm afraid I won't be able to determine my position if I don't fight." Xun Yu said abruptly, "Chang'an, we'll see you after this time." ā
"May the Son of Heaven choose the most correct way." Cao Cao said slowly, "This time I and Liu Xuande can see each other again, since the tiger prison parted, it has been several years, I want to come to his courage, it is estimated that he really has the courage to lead more than 10,000 people to come to Chang'an to meet him." ā
"Yes, if the lord and Liu Xuande meet this time, there is no big conflict, and the most likely request for Liu Xuande is to go to Chang'an to face the saint." Xun Yu sighed and said, "If possible, with the courage he is showing now, if he can solve the affairs of the world in other ways, he probably won't use the sword soldiers." ā
"I think so too, it's just that he doesn't want to move, it doesn't mean that some people below won't move, so we also need to make some preparations, I, Cao Mengde, will talk if I can talk about it, and if I can't talk about it, I won't use my blood to pave the way for others." Cao Cao said very solemnly. (To be continued.) )
