Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 53 Secret Seizure of Power

Prime Minister, since the thirteenth year of Jian'an to the present, the third prince has been in the Northland, and the entire Youhe and Erzhou are full of the third prince's henchmen. If the third prince raises his arms and shouts, the two states will inevitably respond, so no matter what, the prime minister must not let the third prince return to Youzhou. ”

"Zhongda, do you mean to leave the third brother in Xudu?"

"Yes, and if the timing is right, it is better to give the third prince to ......," Sima Yi said, making a slashing motion.

Cao shook his head and said hesitantly: "It's feasible to leave the third brother in Xu Capital first, but it's just this second thing......"

"Cheng Xiang, it is not a small matter to become a big thing, this matter is very important, today Xu Yi is so troublesome, the Chinese martial arts are afraid that they have already started their hearts. However, the big deal of the Chinese martial arts is just to think about casually, but the third prince is different, don't forget, when the Chengxiang Mansion was on fire that day, the third prince was by your side! If the third prince thinks about it carefully, I'm afraid it can't be hidden. ”

"I'm just worried about my mother's side. If I attack the third brother, I'm afraid my mother's side will ...... Moreover, the third child has been operating in Youzhou for many years, and if he acts rashly, I am afraid that it will provoke a mutiny in Youzhou! ”

"Prime Minister, when the judgment continues, but it is chaotic, and now the 200,000 troops in Youzhou are all in the hands of the third prince...... Does the prime minister remember the rebellion of King Huainan? Soldiers outside the fan, must not stay! If this move is opened, there will be endless troubles! Sima Yi said.

The rebellion of the King of Huainan in Sima Yi's mouth is Liu An, the king of Huainan during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that the foreign feudal domain had become self-respecting and had become a big trend, so he decided to cut the domain, and Liu An, the king of Huainan, was afraid that Emperor Wu would cut the domain, so he decided to raise an army to rebel.

Listening to Sima Yi's words, Cao lowered his head and thought about it. Sima Yi is right, Cao Chang must not stay, even if he can't kill Cao Zhang, he must trap Cao Chang in Xudu.

Cao Xin made a decision, raised his head, just saw Sima Yi's confident smile, and realized a little in his heart, and then said, "Zhongda, do you have a plan?" You can come quickly. ”

"Prime Minister. If you're worried about the old lady's side. It's not impossible. The prime minister reported to read poetry books. You must have heard the allusion of Zheng Boke. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Now Cheng is quite kind to the third son. With the hearts of the third son and his wife. Then find the right time. Suddenly difficult. Big things can be decided! ”

……

The things in the hall are still remembered by many people with hearts. After the day was dismissed. The news reached Cao Zhangdi's ears.

I think back to what happened that day. reminds me of what Xu Yi said. Cao Zhang's heart began to be somewhat suspicious of Cao. But suspicion is suspicion. No evidence is in vain. But Cao Zhang was still wary of Cao.

And at this time, Emperor Xian moved down the holy decree, Cao Zhangzhen guarded Youzhou for many years, pacified the rebellion in the north several times, its industry can be described as lush, promoted to the public, increased by 5,000. And several other brothers of the Cao family were also promoted and rewarded.

Although this is the will of Emperor Xian, everyone knows that Emperor Xian is just a puppet, and the person behind the scenes is Cao.

No one expected Cao Hui to come to this trick, not only did not attack a few brothers, but instead gave him an additional official and a knight. And Cao's move has also deceived many people, especially Cao Di's mother and wife, who felt that Cao was a benevolent and righteous person, not only did not mean his brother, but rewarded his brother greatly. Many officials in the DPRK and China also praised Cao's move, and for a time, the brothers of the Cao family entered a peaceful honeymoon period.

But there are also many old foxes in Xudu City who have noticed that under this peaceful atmosphere, the undercurrent is surging, and now it is just the calm before the storm.

……

Xu Du Prison.

It's cold in the dungeon in winter, and this cold is exactly the kind of cold that can freeze people to the bones. People can't stay here. However, the cell boss didn't want the prisoners to freeze to death, so he filled the dungeon with some straw. The prisoners were nestled in straw heaps, and although it was cold, at least they could not freeze to death.

Wang Xiaohu squatted in the corner of the dungeon, lying on top of the straw pile, shivering.

Since Cao Cao's death, Wang Xiaohu has not had this kind of fine clothes and food. Cao hated this guy who came to Xu Du to sow discord, but the two countries did not fight each other, and killing Wang Xiaohu also showed that Cao himself was a little weak-hearted, but if he did not punish him, Cao felt unhappy, so Cao ordered Wang Xiaohu to be arrested and locked in the dungeon.

Wang Xiaohu was born in a poor family, and this is exactly in response to that sentence, the life of the poor is hard, so Wang Xiaohu still survived with difficulty in the prison. And the head of Xu Du Prison also knew that Wang Xiaohu was a prisoner personally confessed by Cao, and before Cao gave an order, this Wang Xiaohu would never be able to die.

So Wang Xiaohu was arranged to squat in a separate cell.

And Cao was busy for a while, and he had long forgotten about Wang Xiaohu, so Wang Xiaohu has been locked up until now.

The cell door opened, and the cell boss walked in with a man in his arms. Wang Xiaohu looked up, and through the cell door, he could see that he was being escorted in, an old man who looked a little thin, with dark skin, and a large cloth bag on his back.

The cell head was probably next to the cell door, and the old man was escorted in, through the iron grate

Xiaohu looked at this old man curiously.

After being locked up for so many days, Wang Xiaohu already knew that the place where he was locked up was the deepest part of Xu Du's prison, and not everyone could be locked up here. Since Wang Xiaohu came here, no one has been imprisoned anymore, and now that an old man has come, Wang Xiaohu can't help but be a little curious.

At this time, Lao also saw Wang Xiaohu in the next cell, and he smiled at Wang Xiaohu, revealing his white teeth, and then Lao asked, "Young man, are you cold?" ”

Wang Xiaohu noticed that this old man was not much more dressed than himself, but he didn't seem to feel the cold at all.

"Get up, young man, I'll teach you something to keep you warm!" As he spoke, he made a strange pose, and then said, "Young man, stand up and follow me." ”

"This old man, what are you?" Wang Xiaohu asked.

"Hehehe, this is called the Five Birds Show!"

……

According to the etiquette system, Cao Cao died, and Cao Cao's sons naturally had to keep filial piety for Cao Cao for several years, but Cao Cao had more sons, and there was no need for all of them to keep filial piety.

When Cao Cao was alive, he once knighted several sons who had become young, and several of them were sent to their respective fiefdoms. Most of them were still not a threat to Cao, so Cao rewarded them and enveloped them. And those forces were more earthly, and Cao gave them a greater reward, and then ordered them to return to Xu to guard the tomb for Cao Cao.

This is said to be guarding the mausoleum, in fact, it is house arrest, and when they end guarding the mausoleum, they will arrange a fief that is relatively close to Xudu, and then send someone to monitor it.

and gave Cao Zhang a knighthood, which really settled Cao Zhang's center of the earth a little. In addition, the brothers of the Cao family have been divided, which gave Cao Zhang an illusion, that is, Cao should not attack his own brother.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, not long after Cao Gang became the king of Wei, Youzhou came with an urgent report, Beidi was strong, invading the border fortress, especially Karasuma, who had been defeated by Cao Cao many years ago, and now after the death of Cao Cao, the court captain, immediately organized 400,000 troops to attack Youzhou.

The nomads on the grassland are all soldiers, and it is not surprising that they can reorganize 400,000 soldiers and horses, and at this time, the troops of Youzhou plus Bingzhou are only 200,000, and at the same time, they have to guard against Sun Kang, the prince of Liaodong. Although it can rely on the city to hold on, the force is still slightly insufficient.

Cao immediately ordered Tian Yu to be the captain of Karasuma and the front of Youzhou, and at this time, Cao Zhang heard that Karasuma was coming, and also asked Cao to let him return to Youzhou and fight Karasuma.

Where did Cao dare to let Cao Zhang go back, but he couldn't find a good excuse to push and shove, and he was very unhappy. The so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, Jiangdong Sun Quan also began to make trouble.

When Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou, in order to avoid confrontation with Cao Cao Sheng and fell into the quagmire of two-front warfare, he once called Cao Cao a minister, sent the captain Liang Yu to pay tribute to the Han room, and Cao Cao also reciprocated the peach, and the above cousin Sun Quan was a hussar general, led Jingzhou pastor, and was named the Marquis of Nanchang.

Now that Sun Quan has won Jingzhou and Cao Cao is dead, Sun Quan feels that there is no need to let himself be too scrupulous with a mere Cao, so he no longer pays tribute to Cao Cao, and at the same time sends people to Xu Du to ask the court to crown himself as the king of Wu.

This move is tantamount to taking advantage of the fire. But now Cao is worried about internal and external troubles, and he has no time to take care of Sun Quan, so Cao can only secretly write down Sun Quandi's account.

Sima Yi's secret room in the mansion.

"Prime Minister, great joy!" Sima Yi opened his mouth and said.

"Hi? I'm about to die of sorrow, how can I be happy? Cao said.

Sima Yi smiled, and then replied, "Prime Minister, haven't you always been worried that the third prince has a huge power in Youzhou?" Now is the right time to weaken the power of the third prince! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Now nearly half of the officials in Youzhou are the people of the third prince, and now that Karasuma is attacking, and the third prince is not in Youzhou, Youzhou must be a group of dragons, the prime minister can send his henchmen to Youzhou, take advantage of the God-given opportunity of Karasuma to attack the three armies, secretly seize the power of the third prince, first settle inside, and then outside."

"Good plan! It's just that the third child keeps asking to go back to Youzhou to lead the troops, how should I deal with it? Cao then asked.

"Didn't Jiangdong Sun Quan want the court to make him the king of Wu? I heard that the envoy had arrived in Xudu, so it was better to hand over the matter to the third prince to deal with. Drag him out for some time, and when the matter of Youzhou is over, it's time to start with the third son! ”

……

Chengdu. Zhang Fei Mansion.

"Father, I've already found out about my sister's whereabouts!" Zhang Bao took three steps and made two steps, rushed in, and when it came to his voice, Zhang Bao was not smaller than Zhang Fei, and Zhang Bao's shout was heard all over the yard, although Zhang Fei had not seen Zhang Bao's shadow yet, but he had already heard Zhang Bao's voice.

"Really, where is your sister now?" Zhang Fei also shouted.

"My sister is outside the city now, and I heard that she is still with the prince......"

Writing and writing, I feel that it is too mentally retarded to write Cao, a big politician, and this point will be improved later. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters, support &UC e-book&! )
