In fact, the initiator of this secret letter was not Cheng Yao Cheng Ziyuan, but a person who was a hundred times more cunning.

Let's say that a month ago, Cheng Yao left Xiangguo and went south to Dangyin to mobilize military rations, which is a subordinate county of Wei County, about 150 miles south of the Yellow River, which can be regarded as the southernmost point of Shile's territory.

On the outskirts of Dangyin, Cheng Yao secretly met with a person who refused to be named, because it was said that this person was sent by Pei Gai and had a secret plan to bring down Zhang Bin.

This letter was given to Cheng Yao by that person, and Cheng Yao couldn't help but sink his face when he read it: "What do you mean by this?" Do you think that such a small trick of fake books can shake Zhang Mengsun and fail? ”

The other party smiled: "Sima must have thought that the person receiving the book should be Zhang Bin, and the 'Pifang' in the book is a hint of General Shi, and the 'Ming Gong' refers to General Pei of my family." ”

"Is there any other interpretation that can't be interpreted?"

The man shook his head: "It's preconceived." In fact, the deliberate concealment of the real name in the book is commonly used by intermediaries, but if you stand on different standpoints, you can have different interpretations. My original intention is that the person receiving the book is Sima, 'Pi Fang' refers to Cao Wei of Qingzhou, and 'Ming Gong' refers to General Shi! ”

Cheng Yao was shocked when he heard this, and quickly lowered his head and read it again. The other party took the opportunity to explain in detail: "The so-called 'jackal heart, dominant in one state, the disaster of two dynasties', isn't it Cao Wei's meaning? The so-called 'Ming Gong concentrates on Western affairs', according to a certain expectation, Hebei is now Dafeng, and he will definitely use troops in the west to forge ahead and merge the state. As for 'our army going north', who must cross the Yellow River north? ”

Cheng Yao followed this line of thought and finally read the letter clearly, but he still couldn't understand the other party's true intentions. The man explained: "Sima Ke first set up such and such a scheme to General Shi to contain Cao Wei in Qingzhou, that is, he personally drafted this book before driving. If this book is plotted to fall into the hands of Zhang Bin, he will be jealous of Sima, and he will persist in reporting to General Shi......"

Cheng Yao groaned: "In this way, it is the opposite of the divisive plan...... In this case, why bother to report to Shi Gong first and draft the text before driving? Anyway, there is no real reference in the book, but I can re-explain it after Zhang Mengsun's speech, and confirm his false accusation! ”

The man shook his head repeatedly: "No." There is no truth in the book, so how do you know that what Zhang Bin interprets is wrong, and what Sima interprets is true? General Shi must be suspicious, and it is not good to oppose Sima. In fact, even if it is falsely accused, it may not be able to shake Zhang Bin's power, I set up this plan to make General Shi despise Zhang Binye! He relied on his wisdom to be reused by General Shi, if he calculated for this clumsy plan, what would General Shi think? Is it that he has exhausted his wisdom, or is it in order to overturn his colleagues, but he has blinded himself and disappeared from Mount Tai? If a person harms the state for selfish purposes, can he still use it? ”

Cheng Yao frowned when he heard this: "In this way, you can't kill Zhang Bin!" ”

The other party smiled: "Freezing three feet, not a day's cold." I heard that Zhang Bin was in front of the sword tent back then, and he told General Shi, and he was not allowed to reuse it at the beginning, so he got General Shi to trust Ben Xu, but his Xu is firm and difficult to pull out, and we should also slowly separate. If you want to win the game in one fell swoop, you are too careful, and it is easy for him to calculate. Sima Qishen. ”

Under the banner of Pei Gai, he deliberately went to Hebei to calculate Zhang Bin, which was naturally given by Prince Wang Gong. It's just that after Cheng Yao received this fake letter, he didn't completely follow what Wang Gong said, he made a few more turns and deliberately acted, in order to put Zhang Pi, who Wang Gong didn't know, into it.

Although this plan can't kill Zhang Bin for the time being, can't it kill you Zhang Phi?!

So he found a suitable opportunity, and Cheng Yao privately offered advice to Shi Le, saying that as long as he forged the correspondence between Su Jun and a certain important minister of my family, such as myself, Cao Wei could turn the finger on him. Others are okay, Su Jun and Cao Wei's enmity is too big, so it is easier to win the trust of Qingzhou if he privately wants to attack our north and south.

Shile nodded in agreement. On the one hand, Cheng Yao took care of it, saying that this matter was secret, and Ming Gong should be careful not to leak it to the outside world, and even Zhang Bin should not tell it; Then he had to draft the text on the spot before Shi Le's car.

Shile said you went back and wrote it yourself, why waste time here? Cheng Yao said pretendedly: "The minister is disrespectful, and the Ming Duke forgives the sin." Today, Su Jun is writing a book, wanting to deceive Cao Wei, thinking that Su Jun, it was just a county master book, the writing is mediocre, and Cao Wei is a rough person, if the words are too elegant, it will not be like Su Jun's work, and it is difficult to make Cao Wei clear. After trying it out with the ministers, I dare to ask the Duke of Ming to listen to it first......"

Shi Le smiled: "Ziyuan is thoughtful, I don't blame." "I'm just a big old man, no different from Cao Wei, and you don't need to hide it. Okay, then, I'll listen to it first, I guess if I understand it as soon as I hear it, it will be easy to pass Cao Wei's level.

After Cheng Yao made a fake book, he said that I still have to find a suitable opportunity to send it to Qingzhou, and this matter must be done seamlessly, so Ming Gong, don't worry, don't destroy Shile and allow it. Then Cheng Yao set a trap, hinting that Fan Tan, who joined the army, said that he was ill, and changed the duty date with Zhang Pi, and in this way, step by step, led Zhang Liangxi into the ditch.

The granary caught fire and was extinguished in an instant, of course, it was also a detail that had been arranged a long time ago, in order to give Zhang Pi the opportunity to steal the book, but he didn't have time to think about it, and when people were surprised and panicked in an instant, it was easy to instinctively pick up the letter......

So what if Zhang Phi refuses to steal books? Then there was only the sound of footsteps outside the door, and Cheng Yao would not come in immediately. I believe that since Zhang Pi has seen this letter, he will definitely report to Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin will inevitably order him to steal the book, and he will come back to steal it sooner or later.

Cheng Yao engaged in intelligence work for Shi Le, in a sense, it was taught by Pei Cai, many tricks that people may not be able to imagine in these years, Pei Wenyue, who has watched too many spy movies in later generations, has grasped a lot of things, including setting up walls indoors, hiding eyeliner, and transmitting intelligence by camouflaging footsteps, birdsong, etc., and so on......

Cheng Yao felt a pity for a while, Zhang Phiguang took the text, and did not take the cover away, but it was clearly written on the cover "The book is presented to Cheng Sima's feet", so as not to be able to sit down at the first time. But then there was a secret message from the secret whistle in the wall: Zhang Pi didn't leave, and he immediately burned the cover with Cheng Yao, who was peeping outside, and pretended to be a thief......

However, because the cover was not stolen at the same time, Zhang Bin became suspicious, but Cheng Ziyuan did not expect that if the cover also fell into Zhang Bin's hands, I am afraid that the old gentleman would see through his trick on the spot, and he did not report Cheng Yao at the first time. But when Cheng Yao heard the statement that "if it is a secret book, it should not be so formal, and this is doubtful", he couldn't help but sweat coldly behind his back, and secretly said that it was dangerous.

With a turn of brain, I immediately changed my mind, this time you Zhang Mengsun escaped, then I will focus on Zhang Meng.

At the next time, there was no cover at all, and there was no text of "Shu Cheng Cheng Sima's Foot", as the right hou said, since it is a secret book, how can it be so formal? Are you stupid for me?

What, you say I burned the cover? Since it was burned, what proof do you have? I originally wrote a fake book, and I wanted to find a chance to release it, but I didn't expect to be stolen by your Zhang Phi, and you had nothing to do to run to my case?

"Zhang Phi, as a subordinate, did not obey the orders of the chief officer, and I was responsible for it, so whenever he wanted to trap me," Cheng Yao finally arched his hand towards Shi Le, "How can such a cunning and treacherous villain be placed in the curtain?" Please also ask Ming Gong to correct the law to set an example! ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly helped Zhang Phi cover up: "What Zhang Phi did was really inappropriate, but he took the lead in reporting Cheng Sima, not necessarily out of selfishness, revenge, but really loyal to Ming Gong." Only his wisdom is short, and he can't see the suspicions in it, and Ming Gong can take a little responsibility. If he is killed, who will dare to speak out to Ming Gong on another day? ”

Zhang Pi still needs to be argued, I did see the one with the cover, but Zhang Bin glared at him fiercely, so I had to swallow the words and quickly kneel down to apologize. Anyway, the cover is burned, there is no evidence, if you insist on it, doesn't it mean that you are falsifying the details and deliberately trying to trap Cheng Yao? Besides, even if there is really a cover, there is no way to prove that Cheng Yao collaborated with the enemy, so why bother to keep chatting?

Under Zhang Bin's repeated pleas, Shi Le demoted Zhang Pi by one level and was still in the Right Sima Mansion. A few people said goodbye, Zhang Bin approached Cheng Yao, lowered his voice and asked, "Ziyuan, why do you have to do this?" "What kind of tricks are you playing, I know it now, is it necessary to do this?

Cheng Yao sneered and replied unabashedly: "It's a pity that I hit the auxiliary car by mistake." "I actually want to deal with you, Zhang Mengsun!

Zhang Bin said sincerely: "If there is a funeral today, when the heroes rise together, we should work together to assist the Ming Gong, and it is not appropriate to plot against each other......"

Cheng Yao immediately interrupted Zhang Bin's words and responded: "On the right marquis's mansion, there must be no Zhang Liangxi!" "You sent someone to me to go undercover first, what kind of decent man and gentleman are you pretending to be? In fact, I also planted a lot of eyeliner around you, but you may not notice it, and even if you do, just like yesterday's Zhang Phi, there is no evidence, so you can only let me talk!

Zhang Bin was speechless, so he had to sigh and leave.

Turning their heads, Zhang and Cheng each swept their tails. Zhang Bin went to warn Zhang Pi, saying that you had completely offended Cheng Yao, and you had left a bad impression on Shi Le, "It's better to leave your illness and return to your hometown for the time being, and wait for a year or two, and after this matter subsides, I will summon Qing to come again." ”

However, Zhang Pi didn't care, saying that I looked at General Shi's intentions today, and didn't really blame me for finding my colleague ** and reporting it to him, which shows that Geng Geng is loyal, and he is too late to be happy, and the reason why he was demoted by one level is just to give Cheng Yao an explanation. As for Cheng Yao, he set up this kind of trap to calculate, I want to plot even more, since your right marquis has fallen short, I believe that he will not play similar tricks again in a short time.

Zhang Bin said: "I still make a statement to the Ming Gong and transfer the Qing to the Changshi Mansion." ”

Zhang Pi shook his head: "The right marquis is doing this, it is the master of the real prince." And today's mistakes, for what they calculate, they must be rewarded! "As soon as I gritted my teeth as I spoke, I would not leave, and I would stay with the thief and continue to find his mistakes!

As for Cheng Yao, he turned his face and went to see his little nephew Shi Hong, who was just three years old.

In fact, seeing Shi Hong is fake, seeing his own sister, it is true to take care of it carefully. So on the evening of the same day, Cheng asked Shi Le on his pillow, saying I heard that Zhang Pi wanted to frame his brother during the day, why didn't you punish him harshly, general? Schler smiled but said nothing.

Cheng said again: "What Zhang Pi did was clearly instigated by Zhang Bin. Both of them are born as rangers, and there are more than 100 times a day, and they are each other's Olympic aid, and it is not the blessing of the general that they are all returned! ”

Shi Le began to frown at this time, and asked Cheng, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Cheng said: "Zhang Mengsun is the general's arm, can't be missed, can't Zhang Pi be killed?" ”

Shi Le then slowly bowed his head on the pillow. So two days later, taking advantage of the opportunity of Cheng Yao to send Zhang Phi out of the city on business, Shi Le suddenly beat drums and gathered generals, and then immediately used Zhang Phi's late arrival as a reason to be punished with the crime of "slow army", and ordered to be pushed out and beheaded. Zhang Pi couldn't help but sigh before he died: "I regret not listening to the words of the right marquis, I am really to blame!" ”

Cutting Zhang Pi is an example of killing chickens and monkeys, Zhang Bin is deeply afraid of this, and his daily actions are more restrained. Cheng Yao deliberately spread the events of the day before yesterday secretly, so everyone knew that Zhang Pi died in the hands of Cheng Yao, and they were all frightened, and they came to the door one after another to pull relationships and make friends with Cheng's power. Pei Xian, Xun Xuan, Ren Bo, Liu Zheng and others who joined the army simply quoted scriptures and asked Shi Lesu to establish Shi Hong as his heir to calm the hearts of the people.

Shi Le originally had his eldest son, Shi Xing, who was canonized by Liu Cong as the son of the Shangdang Gong, but this child lost his mother and was not favored by Shi Le, and the generals despised him.

So he immediately abolished Shixing, changed the young Shi Hong to the son of Zhao Gong, and sent an envoy to Pingyang for approval.

In the fifth year of Jianxing, that is, in the first month of the second year of Hu Hanlinjia, Shi Leqin led the army south to Wei County, met Shi Hu and Xu Guang, and had 70,000 troops, known as 200,000, and invaded the state through Fukou, pointing directly to Leping Kingdom.

Leping Kingdom originally belonged to Jizhou, in the north of Shangdang, and was also led by Shangdang Taishou Han. Han was stationed in Kuncheng and sent an envoy to Liu Kun for help. Liu Kun was light, so he wanted to personally lead the army to rescue, and the general Ji Tang persuaded him: "Although our army is numerous, our hearts are different. Its Jin people have been in the wilderness for a long time, and they are not accustomed to grace and faith, and it is difficult to control; Those who are humble have not been here for a long time, and they cannot be trusted. Besides, if there is not enough food, how can we fight the enemy?

"Today, when the surplus grain of Xianbei is collected inside, the cattle and sheep of the remnants of the beard are copied outside, the retreat is guarded, the farmers are resting, and the accumulation continues, and when the grain is abundant, the army can be mobilized."

Liu Kun did not obey, and sent all the people, and ordered Ji Yu to lead 20,000 elite infantry cavalry as the vanguard, and the army would follow.

After Shi Le and Han according to the encounter, a general persuaded and said: "Today, the enemy army is mostly Xianbei Xiao cavalry ......" Ji Tang is a generation, originally a general under Tuoba Yi Lu, many times ordered to rescue Liu Kun, and later six repairs killed Yi Lu, Ji Tang then led 30,000 people, 100,000 cattle, horses and sheep, and went south to attach Liu Kun, so his subordinates are not only on behalf of the Jin people, but also a lot of Xianbei people" Its momentum is very strong, and it should be a deep ditch and high base, so that the attack and defense can be preserved. ”

Shi Le shook his head and said: "The people are far away, exhausted, and the orders are not even, and they can be captured in a battle, what is the so-called strong?" Besides, our army is advancing, how can we rest? If Ji Tang takes advantage of the situation to chase after him, how can there be time for deep ditches and high bases? This is the way to self-destruction without a fight! ”

So he killed the general of persuasion, set up two ambushes on the mountain, and he himself led the light cavalry to engage the Bingzhou army first, pretending to retreat. Ji Tang led the army to pursue, and Shi Le ambushed the troops before and after, and the state army was defeated......

After this war, the people of Bingzhou were panicked, Leping fell, and Han fled to Liu Kun. Shi Le ordered Kong Chang to be the forward governor, led the army to continue to march westward, Liu Kun's long history Li Hongnai surrendered to Jinyang City, resulting in Liu Kun's army hanging alone, unable to fight, retreating nowhere to go, and the grain and grass will be exhausted......
