Chapter 577: Bad News
"It's strange, is this Yang Ling really willing to be captured?"
Seeing that Yang Ling was so obedient, Cao Pi felt a little unsteady in his heart.
After all, he had suffered Yang Ling's losses too many times before.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Yancai (Zhu Shuozi) has demolished all the houses around Yangling in accordance with His Majesty's wishes, and built four other high platforms. The situation in Yang Ling's mansion can be described as unobstructed. ”
Sima Yi said with a smile,
"In addition, whether it is the food and clothing transported inside, or the filth transported out, they have all been personally inspected by Xia Houen and Xia Hou Jie."
"Without His Majesty's will, let alone Yang Ling himself, even the subordinates in his mansion can't enter or leave."
"In such a situation, even if Yang Lingkong has a skill, what can he do?"
Cao Pi pondered for a moment and then asked,
"What about Gan Ning, Guan Yu and the others, do they have any moves?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there is no change."
Sima Yi smiled,
"They are all Yang Ling's first sight, Yang Ling is already a caged bird, what can they do?"
Hearing him say this, Cao Pi relieved his heart,
"From this point of view, Yang Ling must have accepted his fate!"
"Your Majesty, even if he accepts his fate, we can't let him go."
Sima Yi carefully reminded,
"This man is resourceful and must not be given any chance!"
"You're right, but we shouldn't rush it right now."
Cao Pi sighed as he spoke, and said with some anger,
"In recent days, officials from all over the country have given me a lot of advice, all of which are interceding for Yang Ling."
"If we are in a hurry, I'm afraid there will be trouble!"
After learning that Yang Ling was disposed of by Cao Pi because of rebellion, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Teng, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Liu Cong, and Youzhou Thorn Shi Xian Yufu all interceded for Yang Ling.
In addition, people like Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shang, Cao Zhen and others are also speaking one after another.
Even the clan generals such as Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, who are old and terminally ill, also wrote down their notes while sick.
No matter how willful Cao Pi is, in the face of so many people who intercede for Yang Ling, he doesn't dare to come out of his temperament.
"What Your Majesty said is that now Yang Ling has become a trapped beast, we can let it go first and start with His Majesty's two brothers."
Sima Yi chuckled.
"How's your arrangement?"
Cao Pi asked in a low voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, the king of Dong'a is a good starter, and the minister has already bought off the people in his house and poisoned his diet."
"As short as two or three months, or as long as half a year, King Dong'a definitely died of illness."
Sima Yi said, revealing a sinister smile.
"Good!"
Cao Pi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked,
"What about King Rencheng?"
Compared with Cao Zhi, he was more worried about Cao Zhang.
Who let when Cao Cao died, Cao Zhang led the soldiers and horses back to Xudu, looking like he was going to usurp the throne.
Coupled with Cao Zhang's bravery, he far surpassed Cao Pi.
It can be said that in Cao Pi's heart, the most vigilant person is Yang Ling, followed by Cao Zhang!
"On the side of King Rencheng, it's a little difficult to do."
Sima Yi had a helpless look on his face and explained,
"He is cautious, and the guards around him are loyal, and it is extremely difficult to use poison."
Cao Pi frowned when he heard this, paced back and forth, and said with some irritation,
"I don't care, you have to think of some way quickly, not only to get rid of the king of Rencheng, but also to leave no handle!"
His request can be said to make Sima Yi quite difficult.
Fortunately, Sima Yi is smart, and after a moment of silence, he has an idea.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's better to be like this, the minister can order someone to build a wine jug, which is covered with mechanisms."
"As long as the mechanism is activated, what comes out is poisoned wine."
"At that time, Your Majesty can invite the king of Rencheng to a banquet and drink a pot of wine with him."
"No matter how clever King Ren Cheng is, he can't imagine that there will be a mystery in the wine jug."
"In this way, when he is poisoned and dies, Your Majesty can declare to the outside world that he died of a violent illness, and the world will not suspect Your Majesty!"
Cao Pi's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and laughed,
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"I want to say that Zhongda's intelligence is not below Yang Ling at all!"
"I'll leave this matter to you, and don't let it out. When it's done, I'll reward you heavily! ”
Sima Yi smiled slightly and said respectfully,
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
But in his heart, he was quite unimpressed.
Even the siblings Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Yang Ling, who made great contributions to Cao Wei, Cao Pi could be killed.
He knows so much of Cao Pi's dirty black history, how will he not kill himself in the future?
Anyway, just take this opportunity to eradicate Cao Pi's cronies.
One day, maybe I can become a powerful minister!
……
In the following time, Sima Yi created a wine jug with a mechanism inside.
Cao Pi followed his strategy and invited Cao Zhang to the palace to drink.
Although Cao Zhang was cautious by nature, he didn't expect that the wine jug that Cao Pi was holding himself would contain poisonous wine!
After Cao Zhang's death, Cao Pi announced that he was suffering from a sudden illness.
Although the people were puzzled, they had no real evidence, and they did not say anything.
However, when Cao Pi was secretly happy in his heart, bad news came one after another.
Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Teng drove away the court officials and cut off contact with Xu Du.
Although he did not explicitly declare a rebellion, he said that the imperial court must release Yang Ling.
When Cao Pi learned the news, he was immediately furious.
He immediately assigned Cao Zhen to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack Liangzhou.
However, before Cao Pi could take a breath, Liu Cong of Jingzhou, with the support of Cai Yu, announced that he would not accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the name of standing up for Yang Ling!
Liangzhou is the opposite, after all, the road is far away, and it cannot threaten Xudu.
But Jingzhou is different, Nanyang County is a stone's throw away from Xudu!
Cao Pi was shocked, and hurriedly sent Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu to lead 50,000 troops from Xudu to the south to resist Jingzhou.
But at the same time, there is also bad news from Jiangdong.
Due to Zhu Shuo's arrogant rule, not only Huang Gai, Lu Xun and other Jiangdong scholars were unhappy, but also aroused the anger of Peng Shi and other Shanyue people!
The Shanyue people once again gathered their armies and began to rebel against Cao Wei's rule.
In Zhu Shuo's view, Shanyue is just a barbarian, and he is not carefree at all.
Therefore, he was a little careless, coupled with the yang and yin of the Jiangdong Shi clan, and finally suffered several defeats in a row, and the situation in Jiangdong was precarious!
……
in the Royal Palace.
Cao Pi's face was quite ugly.
This series of bad news made him anxious!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks...... These things broke out really strangely. ”
Chen Qun groaned.
Hearing his reminder, Cao Pi also felt that something was wrong.
Ma Teng, Liu Cong, and the Shanyue people, as if they had received orders, invariably chose to rebel against Cao Wei!
"Zhu Shuo, have you been keeping an eye on Yang Ling's mansion these days?"
Cao Pi asked in a deep voice.
