Chapter 665: Turbulent Undercurrents (I)

Huan Fan is not deaf, let alone blind, how can he not be clear about what Cao Shuang has done over the years, but as a subordinate, Huan Fan can only persuade at most, and cannot deny it, although Huan Fan may not fully agree with the situation listed by Cao Liang, but he is powerless to refute it, because this is indeed real.

Cao Shuang's eight years of auxiliary government did not bring any substantial changes to the Cao Wei court, but instead made the court miserable, angry and resentful, the upper beam is not lower and the lower beam is crooked, and the henchmen and cronies appointed by Cao Shuang are even more reckless, clever and robbing, and filling their own pockets, it can be said that Cao Shuang's group is rotten to the root.

Huan Fan is obviously an alternative existence in this group, although he has been reused by Cao Shuang as a fellow villager of Cao Shuang, but with Huan Fan's straightforward character, he is incompatible with others, so although Huan Fan is also a person in the circle, he has always been on the edge of the circle, and has always kept a distance from other core figures.

And Cao Liang has basically left this circle, especially after marrying the Sima family, Cao Liang was even more ostracized, and the chance of being reused by Cao Shuang is equal to zero.

Originally, Huan Fan came here to persuade Cao Liang not to joke about his political life, after all, no matter how good a woman is, she can't be compared with her future, and she must not be trapped by love or tempted by sex.

But after talking to Cao Liang, Huan Fan found that Cao Liang was more far-sighted than himself, and he was more able to judge the situation, maybe Huan Fan could smell a trace of potential danger, but Cao Liang seemed to be able to discover something deeper, he stood higher and saw farther.

Huan Fan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, compared with Cao Liang, he was a mouse-eyed, thinking that if he was attached to Cao Shuang, he would be able to rise to prominence and soar, but in fact, this is a big mistake, if Cao Shuang's big tree falls, all the people who cling to him will suffer, and under the nest, there will be no eggs.

It seems that it is time to go home and rethink the future.

Huan Fan got up to say goodbye, his expression was slightly embarrassed, but Cao Liang was talking and laughing, and personally sent Huan Fan out of the house.

After all, it is a comrade-in-arms relationship, Cao Liang deliberately revealed a lot of information in front of Huan Fan, although some words were not explained thoroughly, but Cao Liang knew that with Huan Fan's intelligence, he would definitely not understand.

In fact, Cao Liang deliberately revealed this information to him, the most important thing is to give Huan Fan a wake-up call, after all, Huan Fan's fate in history was a bit miserable, and Cao Liang didn't want him to repeat the mistakes of the past in this incident.

After sending Huan Fan away, Cao Liang called Cao Fu and Cao Gui over and assigned him the latest task.

After several months of training, the crossbow team formed in the Grange has basically met the requirements of actual combat, and Cao Liang asked Cao Fu and Cao Gui to transfer these people into the city one after another from now on, arrange them into the Gaoling Marquis' Mansion, and the family soldiers in the Gaoling Marquis' Mansion, reorganize the detachment, and be ready for battle at any time.

However, Cao Liang demanded that all transfers must be carried out in secret, the scale should be small, and every time the people who are transferred in and out, they are maintained within a single digit, after all, this is Luoyang, there are many eyes and ears, and any little wind and grass may be discovered by people who are watching.

According to the information sent by Bai Lingyun, the activities in Sima Mansion tend to be frequent, Sima Yi and Sima Shi often talk secretly at night, often a conversation is a night, and in the process of talking, the guards at the door are tight, and no one can approach.

Although Bai Lingyun couldn't know the content of their conversation, this unusual situation naturally alerted her, if there was no major event, it would be impossible for Sima Yi's father and son to have a secret conversation all night long.

Moreover, there are more and more strangers entering and leaving Sima Mansion, most of them are in a hurry, their faces are solemn, and only Sima Shi is connected with them, often these people come and go quickly, and their whereabouts are quite strange.

Bai Lingyun naturally told Cao Liang about these abnormal situations secretly, and after Cao Liang got the news, after careful analysis, it was determined that the Sima family was finally going to make a move.

According to historical records, the Gaopingling Incident occurred in the first month of the first ten years of the first year, and now it is November of the seventh year of the first year, even if it turns the year, it is only the eighth year of the first year, and it is still two years away from the node of history.

It seems that the coup d'état of the Sima family is going to take place in advance.

In this regard, Cao Liang did not have any skepticism, due to the butterfly effect, many historical events have produced obvious changes, such as the battle of Huainan in Wei Wu, the battle of Hanzhong in Wei Shu, all of which were carried out several years earlier than in history, and the rebellion in Bingzhou, which is completely different from the trend of history.

But for Cao Liang, the coup d'état of the Sima family was advanced, which was not a good thing, and he had been preparing for nine years in order to deal with this crisis, but until now, compared with the Sima family, which is in full swing, it is still weak.

The biggest reliance on the Sima family's coup d'état was the 3,000 dead soldiers they had secretly cultivated for many years, presumably now that they had left Beibi Mountain and quietly infiltrated Luoyang City.

Luoyang City is so big, with a population of hundreds of thousands, these 3,000 people sneaking into Luoyang City into pieces is like pouring a basin of water into a pond, and there will be no change in the slightest, even if it is a ripple, I am afraid it will not be much to shake.

If you want to find out these 3,000 people among hundreds of thousands of people, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that the Sima family has been preparing for this for many years, there will definitely be hidden means, if Cao Liang takes action at this time, not only will there be no gain, but it will only be a startling snake.

Therefore, Cao Liang at this time, he can only use the method of not moving, the enemy does not move, and I will not move, anyway, Sima Yi's target is Cao Shuang, and he only needs to be a yellow finch with peace of mind.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, and the yellow finch must wait until the mantis makes a move, and the yellow finch can only take action, if the yellow finch exposes itself in advance, then the result can only be counterproductive.

Cao Liang has no certainty of victory against Sima Yi, so he must endure it, hide it without revealing it, take it by surprise, attack him unprepared, and give Sima Yi a fatal blow in the most critical and critical place, so that maybe Cao Liang will have a chance to succeed.
