The four of them spoke, full of passion, Cao Liang couldn't interject, so he could only sit silently and listen.

The battle of Xia Zhi took place in the twenty-third year of Jian'an, take Zhuge Liang's words, there is a year in the twenty years, I think that at the beginning, Cao Yan, Wen Qin, Lianhong, and Liu Jing are probably younger than their current self, they are all in their early seventeen or eighteen years, young and less than twenty years old, strong in blood, brave and strong, young and willful, dare to fight on the battlefield, and indeed have the frame of desperate Sanlang.

The current Cao Sandai, compared to his previous generation, is indeed hemp rope wearing tofu - can't mention it, he is used to living a prosperous life of brocade clothes and jade food, enjoying the wealth and glory of the peaceful and prosperous era, and then letting them suffer the hardships of their ancestors and fathers, and then letting them experience those war-torn iron-blooded eras, for these Cao Sandai, it is indeed beyond their strength.

The reason why Cao Wei fell so quickly is inseparable from the overall decline of the three generations of Cao, when the Sima clan seized power, almost no capable Cao clan children could stand up to compete with it.

The Cao clan of Nuoda has reached the point where no one is available.

This can't but be said to be a kind of sadness, if Cao Cao Jiuquan knows it, I'm afraid the coffin board can't cover it.

However, today's gain for Cao Liang is still quite big, he thought that his father Cao Yan was only a light commander even if he became a cavalry general, but he didn't expect that he would have such three comrades-in-arms who were friends with life, and these three comrades-in-arms will be famous generals on the Weizhen side in the future.

Needless to say, Wen Qin is the vanguard of opposition to the Sima clan, although Lian Hong and Liu Jing will surrender to the Sima clan in the future, but it is just forced by the situation, Cao Liang has reason to believe that with this relationship between his father, it is completely certain that Wen Qin and Liu Jing will be tied to his own boat.

Now I am developed.

I thought that in the future, I would have to deal with the huge Sima family single-handedly, but in the blink of an eye, I got three capable cadres, and this harvest was far happier than the sesame mung bean official who had been promoted to the next level.

Cao Yan and the four of them chatted while drinking, reminiscing about the past, and the conversation was very entertaining, and they didn't talk less, and they didn't drink less wine.

The wine of the Three Kingdoms era was only rice wine with a very low degree, and it was very turbid, and good drinkers could even drink one stone of wine at a time (one stone is about equal to twenty-seven city catties), even if the degree was low, it was also massive.

Although the four of Cao Yan didn't drink so exaggeratedly, it was not a big problem for each person to drink two or three jars, and there were fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant.

In the end, the four of them were all very drunk, but fortunately, Wen Qin and them came this time, and they all came with their subordinates, and some people helped them back when they were drunk.

Cao Liang helped Cao Yan to the back hall, and Cao Yan shouted: "Brothers, don't go...... We're going to get drunk today......"

Liu Ying saw that her husband was drunk and unconscious, she was annoyed and pitiful, and said: "If you can't drink it, don't drink it, don't drink it if you drink so much." ”

On the other hand, she instructed the maid to cook the decanting soup and give it to Cao Yan.

Cao Liang didn't help Cao Yan anymore, and two family members had already helped Cao Yan back to the bedroom.

Liu Ying said to Cao Liang: "Liang'er, you're tired too, let's rest early." ”

Cao Liang bowed his hand and returned to his room.

After lying on the bed, Cao Liang didn't sleep for a long time.

Although he has already listed Sima as an imaginary enemy, he will compete with Sima in the next ten years.

But this is just a grand plan of Cao Liang after all, but how to implement it and how to plan, to be honest, he is not sure at all in his heart.

Today's meeting with Wen Qin and others opened up a train of thought for Cao Liang, if he goes to Sima Yi head-on, the odds of winning are not great, after all, there is a huge disparity in the status of the two sides, and Sima Yi, an old fox, is treacherous, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, it is difficult to defeat him.

As for supporting Cao Shuang to deal with Sima Yi, Cao Liang has not thought about it, but the key question is how Cao Liang can win Cao Shuang's trust and reuse, now Cao Shuang has a pile of cronies around him, and many people want to become Cao Shuang's subordinates, even at the expense of each other.

In this case, it is difficult for him to get close to Cao Shuang.

And even if he is close to Cao Shuang, he may not be able to make Cao Shuang obey his words, Cao Shuang has never been short of real strategists around him, such as Huan Fan, even Sima Yi convincingly called him a "think tank".

If Cao Shuang is willing to use Huan Fan's strategy, he will not end up in ashes.

It's a pity that Cao Shuang introduced a straw bag, and Huan Fan was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Cao Zidan I is a hero, but he gave birth to your brother's calf ear!" ”

So Cao Liang quickly gave up the idea of assisting Cao Shuang.

To deal with Sima Yi, you have to rely on yourself.

But how to deal with Sima Yi, it was difficult for Cao Liang to come up with a perfect plan for a while.

Today's events made it clear to him that his advantage was actually in front of him, that is, with his own understanding of the trend of history, he could do a lot of things in advance.

For example, recruiting talent.

Sima Yi has always been a veteran of recruiting talents, he is only talented, and he does not check the door, and many civil servants will be summoned to his command and become the founding heroes of the Jin Kingdom.

On the other hand, Cao Shuang, cronyism, used a lot of wine bags and rice bags, and at the critical moment, there was no one who even came up with an idea, so it was strange that he was not defeated.

And now most of those famous generals are stinging, some are only in low positions and have not been reused, and some are simply white and have never stepped into the official career.

If he can take the lead and recruit some of these talents under his command, on the one hand, he can increase his own strength, and on the other hand, he can reduce Sima Yi's power.

Of course, Cao Liang didn't expect to be able to snatch all of Sima Yi's subordinates, after all, many people from their backgrounds had already decided his political position, and it was difficult to win them again.

Cao Liang never expected that Wen Qin, Lian Hong, and Liu Jing would actually be Cao Yan's best friends, so that he could easily win them over.

This undoubtedly allowed Cao Liang to take a key step.

With such a foundation, Cao Liang is confidence has also increased greatly, and then, he has already planned a new plan, that is, to pick his teeth, preemptively attack those goals that are hoped to be won over, and pull them into his own camp, which can not only strengthen himself, but also weaken the other party, why not?

Today's harvest is really heavy, Cao Liang fell asleep satisfied, this night, he will definitely have a good dream.
