Sima Yi's strategy is quite simple, that is, to use Cao Ang's determination to become emperor, there was a lesson from Cao Pi's past, so Cao Ang is somewhat wary of any brother, and now Cao Zhang's victory in the north has risen sharply, and his prestige in the army has risen greatly, plus his subordinates have also cultivated countless fierce generals over the years, it is impossible to say that he is completely defenseless.

Cao Zhang, in the battle with the Xianbei people, repeatedly established military exploits, the entire Xianbei tribe fought the tiger color, from then on sent people to pay tribute every year, and every year to pay tens of thousands of livestock to the imperial court free of charge, such outstanding military exploits, immediately made Cao Zhang a hero, at that time Cao Ang once suggested that this brother take a rest, enjoy a period of time in the rear, who knew that Cao Zhang directly turned a deaf ear, and the next day he took the army to think about the Karasuma people and left.

I'm afraid that's because of this, Cao Ang mistakenly thought that Cao Zhang was reluctant to have military power, and in addition to Sima Yi blowing the wind in his ears at any time, Cao Ang didn't have suspicions to have ghosts, so that time when he was rewarded, Cao Zhang, who was supposed to be a marquis, was just granted some land, and this time it was a great achievement to sweep away the hostile tribes of Karasuma at once, but he was directly deprived of his fame, the reason was that he killed too many enemies fearlessly, which hurt Tianhe.

After Wu Yong told the story in detail, Yuan Yun shook his head helplessly, now Cao Ang looks at the throne at his fingertips more than anything else, and because he cares too much, he is a lot less calm and broad, and he is also very impatient when dealing with many things.

"When will Xiao Zhang be able to reach Yecheng?" Yuan Yun asked casually.

Wu Yong immediately replied: "At this moment, Cao Zhanggongzi has been withdrawn from the tiger talisman, so he did not act with the army, only if he is a personal soldier, he should be able to return soon, that is, in the past two days, and General Zhao Yun returned together, he was also deprived of military power at the same time, so he had no choice but to return with him." ”

Yuan Yun snorted and asked again, "Do you know who will take over Xiao Zhang's command of the army?" ”

Wu Yong replied: "The edict is written about General Wei Yan, but he did not dare to accept the troops directly, but waited in Yecheng, and once the army returned, he would take over." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned when he heard Wei Yan's name, this person would be involved in the middle, it was a little worrying to think about it, Wei Yan seemed to be very persistent about fame, and if he had a persistent mentality, it would be easy to be used, if Sima Yi won over Wei Yan, it would be a headache.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun walked back and forth in the study, and finally shouted to Xiao Liu, who was waiting outside the door: "Go and prepare the frame, I want to go to Wei Yan's mansion to take a look, I heard that King Wei gave him a very good courtyard in Yecheng, and I just went to see it today." ”

Xiao Liu agreed, and immediately went to prepare the frame.

Yuan Yun turned back to Wu Yong at this time and ordered: "This is handed over to Ben Hou in advance, but Ben Hou also has one thing to tell you to do." ”

When Wu Yong heard this, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Although Yuan Hou orders, the small guarantee will be completed." ”

Yuan Yun nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "You help Ben Hou to check about the Sima family's business, but everything that has something to do with their family must be investigated, and not only Sima Yi's, but also his brothers'." ”

Seeing that Wu Yong was ordered to leave, Yuan Yuncai beckoned Qing'er to start freshening up, after all, Wei Yan hadn't seen him for a long time, and the number of courtesies he should have should still be missing.

All the way through the avenue of Yecheng, Yuan Yun thought of Luoyang, thought of Luoyang and naturally thought of his relatives at home, this time Cao Cao died, but before that, the old man gave a death order, that is, in order to ensure that Cao Ang can take over smoothly, and prohibit children from other places to return to the funeral, so Cao Qinghe and Cao Jie still stayed in Luoyang, since they did not move, Cai Wenji and others could not move.

"It's been half a year since I came out, and I don't know what is going on at home?" Yuan Yun casually said to Xiao Liu, who was driving the car.

Xiao Liu smiled when he heard this, and said: "The little lady just sent a letter, and the letter only said that Mrs. Yiyi opened a few restaurants in the Western Regions, and she didn't mention anything else, which proves that everything is fine, so the lord doesn't have to worry." ”

Yuan Yun smiled faintly, in fact, he knew better than anyone else about the situation at home, Cao Qinghe and Cao Jie were concerned about the future of their father Cao Cao, and almost every few days they would send a flying pigeon to pass a book, and the letter would naturally say anything, and the reason why he asked Xiaoliu was nothing more than homesickness.

Thinking of the relatives at home, soon the frame arrived at Wei Yan's mansion, when Yuan Yun got off the car, the mansion had already welcomed out a number of subordinates, it seems that Cao Ang treated Wei Yan well, not only sent the mansion, but also prepared the servants who were waiting.

Not long after, Wei Yan hurriedly greeted him from a large place, and began to salute from a long distance, looking extremely respectful.

The two greeted each other, and Wei Yan led the way in front and began to lead the way, his mouth was naturally full of warm words, but he felt very uncomfortable listening to Yuan Yun's ears, if Wei Yan really took refuge in Sima Yi, then this enthusiasm in front of him would be a kind of deception.

As soon as he sat down in the lobby, Wei Yan called for someone to send a horse whip, but Yuan Yun looked at it with a blank expression, completely unaware of what Wei Yan was planning to do?

Wei Yan saw that Yuan Yun was puzzled, so he hurriedly explained: "I heard that Yuan Hou's old horse is no longer good, so I plan to send Yuan Hou a first-class war horse, which is a tribute from the Dawan Kingdom, and the King of Wei has transferred it to Zaixia, and now it will be transferred to Yuan Hou." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, pushed the plate with the horse whip aside, and then said: "Wen Chang's kind Benhou accepted it, as for this war horse, it will be exempted, you also know that Benhou has already said that he never plans to go to the battlefield again, so it will be a waste to ask this war horse to come to Benhou." ”

Wei Yan saw that Yuan Yun didn't accept it, but he was embarrassed for a while, and after persuading him a few words again, he found that Yuan Yun really had no interest in war horses, so he smiled bitterly and said: "It's really not very good to be a person under Xia Yu, and it is completely incomprehensible to Yuan Hou's preferences, no wonder he was not treated well under Han Xuan in the past, if he hadn't followed His Royal Highness King Wei, I'm afraid there would really be no one day to get ahead." ”

Yuan Yun was a lot relieved when he heard this, although Wei Yan likes fame, he has never been relatively dull in dealing with people, especially those who are higher than him, and he is not good at dealing with them, if he and Cao Ang are still wise, I am afraid that they will not look down on Wei Yan.

And according to history, Wei Yan is not very good at mixing in Shu because he is not very good at politics, he offended many people, and in the end he didn't get any benefits, if it weren't for Liu Bei, who was good at getting along with people, he wouldn't have appeared in history at all.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun felt that things always had to be explained, and he didn't plan to go around, so he asked directly: "Does Senior Brother Wen have any dealings with Sima Yi?" ”

Wei Yan was stunned, and then nodded in an instant: "Sima Yi has often invited him to banquets recently, but he doesn't like this person very much, so he doesn't want to deal with him, and Yuan Hou doesn't deal with this person, which is also a concern." ”

Yuan Yun snorted and continued: "Since Brother Wen said so, Ben Hou will take it seriously, now that King Wei is established, many things have been entangled, and some people who don't deal with it have also come to the door, so Ben Hou has to have a long heart recently, and I came to greet Brother Wen today because of this matter, but since Brother Wen denied it, then Ben Hou is also at ease, so I won't bother." ”

After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he was about to get up and go back to his house, Wei Yan immediately arched his hand and said: "Since Yuan Hou is rare to come once, it is better to sit for more time, there are some relatives and friends who have just come from Changsha and brought some special products, so I can entertain Yuan Hou to taste one or two." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Yun arched his hand again and said: "It's not that Ben Hou doesn't want to stay longer, there are really many things that need to be done, and when Ben Hou is done, he will definitely invite Elder Brother Wen to come over to the mansion to catch up." ”

Wei Yan was stunned when he heard this, and wondered: "Yuan Hou has always been very idle in Luoyang, why is he suddenly busy?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Just like Ben Hou just said, some people are not honest, so they have to beat it, why don't you rush to make some arrangements, this time Ben Hou wants to see how Sima Yi escaped." ”

When Wei Yan heard Yuan Yun say this, he also smiled bitterly and said, "Then sit down and see how unlucky Sima Yi is, and I won't leave Yuan Hou to eat today." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said, "Brother Wen has been more careful recently, King Wei has just succeeded to the throne, many things will surface, and we are also people who have worked hard in the battle array, so don't overturn the boat in the gutter." ”

When Wei Yan heard Yuan Yun say this, he hurriedly thanked him, knowing that it was inconvenient to stay, so he sent Yuan Yun out of the gate all the way, and only turned around and returned to the mansion until the frame of Yuan's mansion left sight.

When Yuan Yun's frame arrived at the downtown area, Xiao Liu immediately asked, "Lord, it's rare for you to go to General Wei's mansion to sit for a while, why don't you stay for a meal?" ”

Yuan Yun heard Xiao Liu's question, his face sank, and he said to himself: "This Wei Yan is a big problem, Xiao Liu, you quickly send someone to keep an eye on it, just now I deliberately said that I wanted to deal with Sima Yi, now let's see if this Wei Yan will go to report the news." ”

Xiao Liu was startled, and the frame immediately slowed down, only then did he ask eagerly, "Is there a problem with General Wei?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Although Wei Yan is very good at getting along with people, but after all, he is a cautious person, just now I said that I wanted to deal with Sima Yi, he didn't show the slightest panic, I just said this today, he seems to have been prepared." ”

When Yuan Yun spoke, Xiao Liu had already beckoned one of his subordinates to run out, and now there are a lot of Deng Ai's eyeliner in Yecheng, and this is the time to use it.

Seeing that the people sent out by Xiaoliu had disappeared into the streets, Yuan Yuncai ordered again: "Don't hurry back to the house first, let's go to General Huang Zhong." ”
