"But you don't understand?" Cao Gong's eyes moved away from the book, and he glanced at Cao Zhi in a daze, and his voice was indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Cao Zhi felt Cao Gong's gaze, and suddenly felt a huge pressure coming. He lowered his head slightly and staggered Cao Gong's eyes, and said with difficulty: "My grandson doesn't understand, and I ask my grandfather to teach me." ”

"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, if you can recognize your own shortcomings, you will naturally have the opportunity to learn in the future. Cao Gong seemed to be very satisfied with Cao Zhi's attitude, first made a brief comment, and then explained with a slightly gloomy expression: "The first emperor's southern tour broke our original plan and made us have no way back. ”

The more Cao Zhi listened, the more confused he became, and he didn't understand what Cao Gong meant. It's just that although he didn't understand, he didn't interrupt Cao Gong, and stood there quietly listening.

"Hey, this time we underestimated the First Emperor, otherwise we wouldn't have fallen into such an extremely passive situation today. We thought that without enough clues and evidence, the First Emperor would not do it easily, but without him, he would choose the mighty southern tour.

The first emperor's southern tour was a dignified and upright teacher, and he used a dignified and upright momentum.

He's forcing us to do it, or he's forcing us to make a choice. If we are silent, after this incident, everyone will know that the Great Jin Dynasty is still the world of the First Emperor. At that time, how many people do you think there will be in the extremely loose family alliance? When Cao Gong said this, he put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and the mockery on his face became more and more intense.

The momentum of the first emperor's southern tour was enough to make most small families fearful, and even do that rebellious thing. They are speculators, can they still be expected to swear to the death under the authority of the First Emperor, just kidding.

When Cao Zhi heard this, he didn't understand the twists and turns behind him.

The First Emperor only found the Wang family, although he hasn't found too much evidence and clues, but does he really need too much evidence and clues?

The answer is yes, no!

As long as the First Emperor knew that there was still a huge force in the Great Jin Dynasty that was very restless, and it was enough to know that force was probably capable. He just needs to be upright, and those people have to respond. Whether it is surrender or confrontation to the end, there is always a choice. Otherwise, the internal people are unstable, and some people will inevitably have other thoughts.

Moreover, the first emperor toured the south, after the hearts of the Great Jin people settled down. No one would doubt that he would not raise a butcher's knife to clean up the rebellion. No one would doubt that the First Emperor had that determination.

When the people's hearts are stable in the world, no matter what decision the first emperor makes, he has firmly occupied the initiative. Because of the huge alliance, it is impossible for everyone to have one mind, and it is impossible for everyone to be a warrior who is not afraid of death. The First Emperor only needed to raise his butcher's knife and tear a hole in it, and the alliance would inevitably collapse.

At that time, I am afraid that the butcher's knife of the First Emperor has not yet fallen, and some people will be eager to carry the head of the former ally to receive the reward.

This is an insoluble choice, either to watch the First Emperor regain the initiative little by little, and then sit at home and wait for death silently. Either you can only fight to the death, the world will be peaceful, the prestige of the first emperor will not be there, and the Great Jin Dynasty will completely enter the era of the family. If you lose, you will die, and you will be destroyed, which is no different from the other option.

After Cao Zhi figured it out, he suddenly understood why those big families didn't hesitate at all about his grandfather's plan, and even supported him desperately.

Not because they're stupid, but because they've already seen through the battle. It's not the big families who are really stupid, but the small families who originally wanted to fish in troubled waters. If they stay out of the matter, they may still be able to get a trace of mercy from the First Emperor, or the First Emperor is too lazy to deal with them. Now that they are standing on the opposite side of the First Emperor, they have really cut off all retreats.

No, it's not that the small families are too stupid, it's that the big families won't give them a choice.

As soon as this plan came out, the big family originally wanted to coerce the small family to threaten the first emperor, in a vain attempt to fight for the last bit of life. If the little family dares to disobey and does not need to be done by the First Emperor, it will be directly destroyed by its own people.

After all, everyone is a friend on the same front, and you suddenly say that you want to quit, which means a few things. This is not to say that you want to betray us and the great revolutionary cause. Since he is a traitor, do you still need to show mercy and morality?

Of course, it is to kill your whole family, raise your wife and daughter for you, and spend the inheritance for you. And even if the little family knew that this was a sinkhole, they had no choice.

Ruthless, too ruthless.

Cao Zhi gasped in his heart, convinced of his grandfather's plan.

When it is broken, it is broken, without a trace of hesitation. And as soon as he made a move, it was a killer move, cutting off the possibility of everyone retreating.

No, it's still something wrong, and grandfather doesn't seem to be optimistic about this plan. But if my grandfather wasn't optimistic about this plan, or thought that the family alliance would fail, why did he do it?

Since it is bound to lose, isn't that an extra move?

Wait, isn't it?

Cao Zhi thought of this, as well as the recent situation of the Cao family, and suddenly understood something.

Bright cultivation of shallow roads, darkness of Chen Cang!

Cao Zhi's face was full of shock, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Grandfather, is it because he wants to use them to attract the attention of the First Emperor, and then seek a way out for my Cao family?" ”

Cao Gong nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with Cao Zhi's performance. Although he didn't see his intentions at the beginning, it was quite good that he could deduce his thoughts from those words.

Cao Gong did not hide his intentions, and said with a smile: "Yes, if you don't make a big noise, the eyes of the First Emperor will definitely be focused on my Cao family and other great families." Only by completely muddying this pool of water can my Cao family get a short respite and secretly complete the transfer of clansmen and property. Your uncle and others have already gone to Zhou and Tang and other countries first, and in a few days the First Emperor will arrive in Pyeongchang, so you should follow them and leave. ”

When Cao Zhi heard this, there was only worship and admiration left.

Those people would never have thought that they would die from beginning to end, they were just a chess piece in the hands of their grandfather, a pawn used to protect the Cao family!

"The grandson is provincial, and the news will definitely not be leaked." He was so excited that he blushed and bowed down.

"Go down, be cautious these days." Cao Gong smiled and said kindly.

Cao Zhi didn't say anything more and respectfully withdrew from the study. It's just that compared to the nervousness and uneasiness when he came, he was full of excitement and confidence at this time.

In the days that followed, the world was not at peace.

Just when the Saga Alliance gathered in Pyeongchang with great fanfare, Mo Chen's Luan finally arrived at Pyeongchang City, where the wind and clouds converged, in the expectation of the world.
