Chapter 685: First Strike, Stronger
To tell the truth, Cao Liang has always had a sense of awe for the emperor who died young, Cao Liang is a very rare wise lord, but unfortunately, the destiny is not blessed and he died young, otherwise, it will be Sima Yi's turn to dare to launch a coup d'Γ©tat and seek to seize the government, so he can only obediently carry his tail between his legs.
Cao Liang's secret edict and Cao Yan's father and son were the stroke of genius before the collapse, perhaps it was a short conversation between him and Cao Liang that gave rise to the idea of issuing a secret edict, maybe at that time, he already knew that Sima Yi would harbor evil intentions, but Cao Shuang was ultimately useless, and he pinned all the hopes of the Cao Wei Dynasty on Cao Liang's body.
At that time, Cao Liang was just a small Yu Lin Lang, powerless, he could only be regarded as a seedling, and the genius who died early can never be called a genius, just like Cao Liang himself, he could have become the holy monarch who ruled the world, but God didn't give him this opportunity, and took his life early, leaving him with regrets.
In order to protect Cao Liang from growing up, Cao Rong asked the evil spirits to arrange ten guards in the palace to act as people who secretly protected Cao Liang to help him tide over the difficulties at the most difficult moment.
is only the only help that Cao Ei can provide him, and the rest of the way, only Cao Liang goes by himself.
Cao Liang is such a smart person, Ren Chaonan Liao Liao said, he has already guessed the cause and effect, at this moment he is even more emotional, but this far-sighted Emperor Wei Ming admires, and at the same time, he is also secretly looking forward to what kind of content the secret edict that has been kept by Cao Yan will be.
Cao Liang wanted to see what the secret edict was in advance to see, but Cao Yan was really a dead brain, and refused to open the edict, so Cao Liang gave up, and after a long time, he forgot about the edict.
Now that Sima Yi is in rebellion, isn't it time for Sheji to be in danger, it is the time when the secret edict needs to be opened, and now Cao Liang has some expectations, he really wants to see what kind of arrangements the wise and incomparable Emperor Wei Ming made nine years ago.
However, the secret edict is still in Cao Yan's hands, and Cao Liang needs to see Cao Yan before he can have the opportunity to read the secret edict.
Although Cao Liang still had a lot of questions in his heart and wanted to ask Ren Chaonan, but now that time was pressing, it was not easy for him to chatter here, so he immediately said: "Lu Guard, after Sima Yi failed to capture the arsenal, the next step must be to take action and control the twelve city gates in Luoyang, if you want to deal with Sima Yi, it is far from enough to rely on the current strength, only by transferring the Xiaocai battalion outside the city into the city, we will have a chance to quell the rebellion." β
Ren Chaonan immediately said: "I am ordered to belong to the general, and everything is up to the general." β
Cao Liang gathered the escaped men and horses and looked at the Great Xia Gate.

The station of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion in the north of the city is still the same as usual, and there is no calm in the past.
However, for the former military captain Gao Jun and the later military captain Xun Hong, it seems to be a little different, it is said that every morning at this time, Cao Yan will conduct human exercises, but today, there is no movement, which can't help but make the two suspicious.
Gao Jun is the son of Gao Rou, Xun Hong is the son of Xun Chen, the two were born in a famous family, if you talk about status, they are incompatible with Wen Qin.
Of course, in peacetime, this does not prevent everyone from working together, but as children of the family, Gao Jun and Xun Hong are not a little forward-looking about the development and change of the situation, in fact, they have been instructed by the family to act randomly, but this randomness is the most difficult to grasp, so Gao Jun and Xun Hong saw the changes in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and secretly beat the drum in their hearts.
At this moment, the Chinese army suddenly came to Gao Jun and Xun Hong, saying that Cao Yan, the general of the Xiao cavalry, had invited the two of them to the Chinese military tent.
This abnormal behavior made the two even more puzzled, but in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Cao Yan's order was greater than everything, Gao Jun and Ge Hong did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and obediently followed the Chinese army and went to the Chinese army tent.
To the surprise of the two, Cao Yan seemed to be very enthusiastic, and he was like two people in normal times, you must know that the impression that Cao Yan usually left on them has always been serious, cold, and selfless.
The two of them immediately bowed and said, "The last general will see General Cao." β
"Ziying, Zhongmao, there is nothing to do today, I specially invite the two of you to come over and drink a glass of water and wine, don't be restrained, sit down." Cao Yan said with a smile.
Gao Jun and Xun Hong couldn't help but secretly gasp, sure enough, there were some simple drinks and dishes in Cao Yan's Zhongjun tent, it was not yet midnight, did anyone come to drink so early in the morning?
What's more, since Cao Yan entered the main Xiao cavalry camp, the prohibition of alcohol has been strictly enforced, and during the exercise, anyone is forbidden to drink, even if they are resting today, if there is no Cao Yan military order, others will not dare to drink without permission, if you really want to drink, then go outside the barracks to drink.
But at this moment, Cao Yan suddenly set up a banquet in the Chinese military tent, which surprised Gao Xun and the others.
Cao Yan said: "The two of you have worked together for many years, and it is rare to take a break today, so I specially summoned the two of you to come and drink a few cups together. β
Rest today? Gao Jun and Xun Hong secretly said that as captains, they would not know about today's Xiu Mu, which is really strange, according to the usual training, there is rarely the word Xiu Mu in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and in other places it is a ten-day Xiu Mu, and the Xiao Cavalry Camp does not have this rule at all, and Cao Yan has the final say on which day Xiu Mu.
It seems that this is a typical Hongmen banquet, Gao Jun and Xun Hong were nervous, but they could only sit down, as for the wine and food, they almost never touched the chopsticks.
Cao Yan was obviously not here, and he said some unnutritious words to the two of them without a match.
At this time, the Chinese army came into the tent and muttered a few words in Cao Yan's ear, Cao Yan's face suddenly became gloomy, and when he persuaded him to drink again, he pretended to miss it, knocked over the wine glass, and spilled the glass and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
It's more like the most classic cup smashing number, just when Gao Jun and Xun Hong were extremely surprised, countless soldiers suddenly poured in from outside the tent, holding bright knives and guns, and surrounded Gao Jun and Xun Hong in groups.
"General Cao, what do you mean by this?" Gao Jun said in a trembling voice.
Is this a dagger?
Cao Yan smiled and said: "The news just came from Luoyang City, Sima Yi launched a mutiny and plotted a rebellion, and the two of them had a close relationship with him, so they had to strike first." β
