Chapter 681: Losing the Lady and Breaking the Soldiers
In order to win over and appease Cao Liang, Sima Yi really didn't spend less effort and less effort.
Originally, with Cao Liang's background status and the previous unfriendly relationship with the Sima family, Sima Yi didn't need to work so hard, but since Cao Liang returned to Beijing, the relationship with Cao Shuang has become estranged, which made Sima Yi move to win over Cao Liang.
After all, Sima Yi has always only regarded Cao Shuang as an opponent, although Cao Liang has been in the limelight in recent years, but after all, he has less background and foundation, and Sima Yi only regards him as a potential danger, and does not regard him as an opponent on a par with each other.
In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Sima Yi really has the intention to befriend Cao Liang, even if Cao Liang may not be able to be used by him, but at least he remains neutral in the dispute between him and Cao Shuang, Sima Yi is very satisfied.
In Sima Yi's view, Sima Ru's matter was an opportunity, so he tried his best to approve and match Cao Liang and Sima Ru's family affairs, so that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew the relationship between the Sima family and Cao Liang, which also made Cao Shuang even more alienated from Cao Liang.
Sima Yi's wishful thinking is very shrewd, and the relationship between Cao Liang and the Sima family has indeed played a considerable role, for example, this time Cao Liang took the arsenal lightly, and he really borrowed this layer of relationship, otherwise, it would never have been so smooth.
Sima Yi didn't know this result, if he knew, it was estimated that his lungs would be able to blow him up, this hard work, he actually made a wedding dress for others, and people said that people were angry?
Since Sima Yi saw Cao Liang's figure, he who has always been calm and calm finally stopped being calm this time, it turned out that he had calculated everything, but he was still calculated by Cao Liang, even if the Sima family was upside down, he didn't buy back Cao Liang's heart, it seems that Cao Liang is ready to fight with the Sima family to the end.
Sima Yi attaches great importance to Cao Liang, it can be said that he does not pay attention to it, it is precisely because he attaches too much importance to it, so Sima Yi came up with this means of marriage, in Sima Yi's opinion, Cao Liang is young after all, as long as he uses this beauty trick to stabilize Cao Liang, it will be fine, as for how to deal with Cao Liang after the matter is completed, that is a later story.
But in the end, Cao Liang didn't fall into the scheme, and in turn, Sima Yi fooled himself, even the night before the mutiny, Sima Yi still felt that Cao Liang was completely out of the way this time, watching from the wall.
When he found Cao Liang in the arsenal, Sima Yi realized that he was completely wrong.
What does it mean to lose his wife and lose his soldiers, probably this is it, Sima Yi did everything he could, but in the end he ended up with such a result, which made him really unwilling.
What's more important is that Cao Liang's sudden appearance completely disrupted Sima Yi's previous deployment, because Sima Yi had always regarded Cao Shuang as an imaginary enemy in his previous setting, and all his arrangements were aimed at Cao Shuang.
Not to mention anything else, the resistance encountered in attacking the arsenal alone gave Sima Yi a headache, not to mention whether he could take the arsenal or not, even if he took it, there would definitely be a delay in time.
According to Sima Yi's plan, at this time, he can already control the arsenal, and he can equip the weapons and armor in the arsenal to the Sima family's private army, and he himself should also go to Yongning Palace at this moment to meet the Empress Dowager Guo.
Meeting the Empress Dowager Guo is the most important step in this mutiny, only by getting the Empress Dowager Guo's decree can Sima Yi's mutiny be legitimate, and at the same time bring pressure to Cao Shuang.
But to deal with Cao Liang, Sima Yi obviously doesn't have that kind of confidence, and Sima Yi knows that once Cao Liang intervenes in this incident, it will not be as simple as capturing the arsenal, Cao Liang's father Cao Yan is also in charge of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, this is his real rival!
The Sima family army has been attacking for a long time, but the Cao family soldiers are well defended, so they can't get half a penny, but they have suffered heavy casualties, and many black-clothed dead soldiers have died under the high walls.
Seeing this, Sima Yi ordered Sima's army to suspend the attack and ordered people to wave a white flag to show peace.
Seeing this, Cao Liang ordered the crossbowmen to stop shooting, and he wanted to see what tricks Sima Yi wanted to play.
Sima Yi took a few steps closer and shouted from afar: "Ziming grandson-in-law, if you have something to say, why bother to meet each other?" ”
Cao Liang sneered: "Rebel ministers and thieves, everyone has to be punished, and now that the matter has come to this, presumably we have nothing to say." ”
Sima Yi said: "Ziming's grandson-in-law, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, the old man's move is a last resort, not a treason and rebellion, the old man was favored by the first emperor, entrusted with the important task of entrusting the orphan, and he must not forget it, but Cao Shuang is in power, harming the country and the people, appointing friends, traitors in the dynasty, excluding dissidents, such as today's son has reached the time of pro-government, but Cao Shuang is unwilling to hand over power, and the heart of rebellion is clearly revealed. The old man is nearly seventy years old, like the bell leaking out, time is short, but the first emperor's trust is unfinished, and the old man is difficult to see when he dies. I also hope that Ziming can understand the righteousness, help the old man to help the murderer, and help the community. ”
When Sima Yi said these words, his voice was loud and imposing, not at all like an old man who was nearly seventy years old, and every word was heartfelt, which made people convinced.
If someone else had changed, he might have really believed Sima Yi's words, but who is Cao Liang, he crossed the crowd, fought 1,700 years later, what kind of person is Sima Yi, then the coffin has long been closed in history, if Cao Liang is fooled by his words, then Cao Liang will really be in vain.
Cao Liang sneered: "Sima old thief, it's just a matter of deceiving a three-year-old child with your words, if you want to fool the master, you will die of that heart." Cao Shuang refused to return to the Son of Heaven, just because he was attached to the power in his hands, he didn't have the courage to seek the usurpation of the throne, and then look at these dead men in black around you, who have been raised for more than ten years, what is the meaning of harboring evil intentions, you should know better than anyone else. So, save some of your spittle, you should think about how to enter this arsenal now, so many weapons and armor are what you really want. ”
Sima Yi sighed secretly, it seems that it is completely impossible to persuade Cao Liang today, and if he wants to take the arsenal, the only way is to attack it. He took a few steps back, then waved his hand and ordered the black-clad dead men to attack with all their might, making sure to take the arsenal as soon as possible.
Too much time has been wasted, and it must not be delayed any longer.
