Chapter 264: Hidden Conspiracy

As soon as Cao Pi said this, Liu Ye was inconvenient to argue anymore, so he had to step aside and remain silent. Sima Fu prostrated himself on the ground and said: "The two ministers and brothers are deeply favored by His Majesty, and they have nothing to repay. I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled. When Liu Ye and Cao Ren heard this, they glanced at each other, and each stepped forward, just about to ask for another performance. But I heard Cao Pi say first: "I know the loyalty of the two Qing brothers, and Zhongda's military strategy is above the generals. How can I not allow it? At the moment, he said to Liu Ye: "Aiqing drafted a decree for me, with Sima Zhongda as the general of the expedition to Peking University, and Shuda as the military Sima, to fight against the rebellion, and on the day of success, I will be rewarded again." ”

Liu Ye showed Cao Ren that he did not follow the intention, but stepped forward and said: "Wancheng is the gateway to Luoyang, and General Sima has a major role, so it is not suitable for requisition." Although the minister is not talented, he is willing to lead the troops to fight to resist the soldiers of Jinyang. ”

Cao Pi said with a smile: "Da Sima is loyal to the country, and I am very relieved, but he is old, and he is afraid that he will be careless, and he will hurt his reputation for decades." Now Liu Bei, Sun Quan is too busy to take care of himself, can An invade my territory again? I have made up my mind, so don't say anything more. Ziyang could quickly draft an edict and send it to Wancheng by Shuda overnight. ”

"Yes." Liu Ye had no choice but to obey, and a eunuch next to him had already sent pen and ink. Liu Ye picked up the pen and wrote, and it was achieved overnight, and it was completed in an instant, dedicated to Cao Pi. Cao Pi took a look at it and said: "Ziyang's words are exquisite, and others can't do it." Take the jade seal and seal it, and pay it to Sima Fu and said: "Shuda can retire and leave, and your brother must not lose his high hopes." Sima Fu knelt down on the ground again and said, "The minister and the brother must be smeared with liver and brain, in order to repay His Majesty's deep kindness." The words retreated.

When Sima Fu left, Liu Ye said: "In the past, when the first emperor was there, he often thought that Sima had a wolf appearance, and he was not a minister who defended the country, and he was not with military power for a long time. Later, when he fought in Hanzhong, he was made to guard Wancheng with Xu Shu, but Sima killed him under the pretext of killing him and took charge of the army alone. The first emperor was deeply jealous, and those who later raised troops to the south did not mean to be in Jingzhou, but in Wancheng, and only hated the sky and did not take time, so that the Sima clan could be all today. Why did Your Majesty entrust such a heavy responsibility? ”

"Haha." Cao Pi laughed a few times and said, "The cunning rabbit doesn't come out of the hole, why does the eagle kill it?" Sima is only in Wancheng, how can I cut his military power? ”

Liu Yenai suddenly bowed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." Then he said: "Then who does Your Majesty condemn to resist the soldiers and horses of the Yue cavalry generals?" ”

Cao Pinai looked at Cao Ren and said, "This depends on Da Sima." The right person to say that the old man is a big Sima, can it be seen that it is strange? ”

Cao Ren hugged his fists and said, "How dare Weichen? Your Majesty has a will, and the ministers should do their best to comfort the soul of the emperor in heaven and repay His Majesty's grace. ”

Cao Pinai called the eunuch to take the map and asked Cao Rendao: "Ziwen Heyou and the division of the Yan Dynasty, no less than 100,000, are prepared to come now, and the situation is very urgent, what good strategy can the general have to break it?" ”

Cao Rennai said: "The army came from afar, the division was nameless, and the world hated it. The minister is willing to stick to Yangcheng, Qinshui, Yewang, and Shanyang with General Xu, so that they cannot go south. As he spoke, he pointed out on the map one by one: "When his soldiers are tired, they will attack them and they will surely win a great victory." ”

Cao Pi pondered for a moment and said, "This is a slow plan, and it is not feasible." Ziwen's traitorous thief, if the court can't be quelled on the same day, he is afraid that he will lose the hope of the world. ”

"Your Majesty is very worried." Cao Ren pointed to the Huguan again, and said: "Although the Yue Cavalry sent the soldiers out of this place, the terrain of this pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the ministers and soldiers of the Xi Department must not have many horses, and rely on the Xiongguan, so the defense is lax." The ministers and others insisted on the Hanoi lands, but they sent Zilie to lead the troops of Yanzhou to the north, passing through Wei County and Handan, and attacked Huguan by surprise. If this pass is broken, Jinyang will be cut off, the connection with the party will not be transported, the sergeant will not be allowed to return, and the army will be broken. ”

"That's a good idea." Cao Pi was overjoyed and said: "Da Sima made such a good plan in an instant, which is really the pillar of the country. Cao Ren hurriedly humbled. Liu Ye looked at the map and said, "Your Majesty, Wei County, Handan is not far from Jizhou City, so you must guard against it." ”

Cao Ren glared at Liu Ye fiercely, and said: "Although the Marquis of Linjiang is uninhibited, he has always been peaceful, and he has no ambition to be a general. ”

Cao Pi glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Ziwen may not know about this rebellious thing." Grass edict, with the Marquis of Linjiang Xingzhen Beizhong Lang general, with the soldiers of Jizhou out of the river, take Youzhou. Zidan was the deputy, and the troops of Qingxu were transferred to the north, called reinforcements, but in fact they were supervised. What does Erqing think? ”

"Your Majesty." Cao Ren and Liu Ye replied in unison, but they couldn't help but sigh silently in their hearts, could it be that the bloodline of the first emperor should not exist?

Sima Fu got Cao Pi's holy decree, thought that he had a plan, and was overjoyed, so he went back to the house to clean up a little, and then left the city overnight and came to Wancheng. I didn't dare to delay on the road, and I arrived at the mansion of General Nan of Wancheng City in a few days. Sima Yi was gathering the generals in the mansion to discuss matters, and when he heard that his brother was there, he was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly went out to welcome him in person.

Sitting down, Sima Yinai asked: "The third brother is not serving in the court, why did he come to Wancheng before?" Sima Fu looked around and saw that all of them were his brother's confidants, and he said: "Fang is in a big mess today, and my brother specially gave my brother a generous gift." ”

"Oh?" Seeing that Nai's brother was excited, Sima Yi couldn't help but be moved, and asked, "What kind of gift is it?" Sima Fu took out Cao Pi's holy decree from his arms, handed it to Sima Yi and said, "Brother, please take a look." "Originally, to pass on the holy decree, they all had to burn incense to prepare for the shore, but the Sima brothers were in their own mansion, and they were all confidants, so they passed it casually, which was really disrespectful.

Seeing that it was a holy decree, Sima Yi was even more surprised in his heart, and hurriedly took it and examined it carefully, but raised his eyes and asked, "Who is this Baosheng?" Sima Fu said with a smile: "It was my brother who personally invited him to play in front of His Majesty's palace, and Cao Zhang's rebellion was really a good opportunity for my brother to raise his eyebrows and establish his authority." Sima Yi shook his head and sighed, and said, "The third brother is confused." As he spoke, he handed over the holy decree to Deng Ai next to him, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Sima Fu was full of enthusiasm, but he never expected Brother Nai to react like this, he was half shocked, and was about to ask out loud, but he heard Deng Ai say: "In the humble opinion of the disciple, Your Majesty's transfer of the teacher to the north to conquer Cao Zhang is false, and he really wants to take advantage of the teacher to leave Wancheng and get rid of him." ”

Sima Yi nodded and said, "What Shizai said is exactly what I want." Today's cunning, not under the first emperor, I have been in Wancheng for a long time, with an army of nearly 100,000, how can the Cao family not be jealous? Once you leave lightly, it will be the dragon going to the deep sea, the tiger going out of the mountains and forests, and the grain, grass and army will all hang in the hands of others, and you will have a place to stand? As he spoke, he looked at Sima Fu coldly.

When Sima Fu heard this, he was already panicked in his heart, and he was even more sweaty when he saw his brother like this. The eldest brother Sima Lang was killed by his second nephew, and Sima Yi not only did not blame him, but allowed it, which shows that he is ruthless. Now that he is doing this, it is inevitable that he will not be suspicious, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother, little brother ......" but he didn't know where to start for a while, and he just used his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

Deng Ai saw Sima Fu's predicament on the side, the two went to Cao Ying together in the past, and had a personal relationship, and also knew that although Sima Fu had no plan, he did not have two hearts, and now he said: "Since the matter has come to this, the teacher still needs to take a countermeasure as soon as possible." ”

Sima Yi nodded, and said to Naidi: "The third brother has worked hard from afar, you can go to the guest room to rest first, and we will make a decision after we have discussed it properly." Sima Fu hurriedly got up and retreated.
