In fact, there have been some speculations about who this secret agent is, Ji Han's high-level management.

For example, Pang Tong, he once guessed whether it would be Cao Wei's great Honglu Liu Ye.

After all, there is only one "Liu" character in each payment of this secret agent, and most of the contents of the secret agent's report are secrets that only Cao Wei's senior executives can know. Except for Liu Ye, Pang Tong really couldn't find a few qualified candidates.

Moreover, in Pang Tong's view, Liu Ye is not without a reason to do so, after all, Liu Ye is a descendant of the Han family, and in terms of bloodline, he is more upright than Liu Bei, the king of Zhongshan.

In the past, it was the decline of the Han Dynasty, which caused the descendants of the Han family to have to find another way out, there were Liu Bei who tried to recover the Han Dynasty, there were also Liu Biao and Liu Zhang who tried to divide a place, and naturally there were also people like Liu Ye who chose to join the Ming Lord.

But now, the recovery of the Han Dynasty is in sight, and as a descendant of the Han family, it is obviously impossible to accompany Cao Wei to the funeral. Liu Ye's attempt to contact Ji Han as an internal response is not impossible.

Of course, this is only the understanding of Pang Tong's speculation, and there are those who oppose it.

For example, Xu Shu.

Xu Shu believes that Liu Ye is a person who chose to follow Cao Cao in his early years and did not say a word when Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and he has long not regarded himself as a relative of the Han family.

Liu Ye, although he stands in the position of the Han clan and behaves disgracefully, but in this troubled world, it is also excusable, but if he fornicates with the Han and turns his back on Cao Wei, then Liu Ye's reputation will be stinky.

At least, Xu Shu doesn't think that Liu Ye is such a person.

Moreover, as a secret agent, it is natural to put secrecy first. There is only one "Liu" in the payment, which does not mean that this person must be surnamed Liu, maybe this is just a code name for the big man.

If you put aside the factor of surname, then above the Cao Wei court, there are not a few people who can know these secrets, and aside from those old ministers of the Cao Wei Dynasty who have a reasonable character, everyone else may be this secret agent.

Even, Xu Shu doubted that it was possible that there were school scholars or Huangmen Lings in the Cao Wei court, although these people were small officials, but as staff members who recorded the government and politics, they must also be present, and it is normal to know these secrets.

But now, everyone's doubts have been solved. This secret agent actually knows the content of Tuogu, so he can't be a petty official like a school secretary or Huangmen Ling.

Tuogu, usually when the emperor talks privately with the minister of Tuogu before his death, only when the edict is about to be issued at the end, will the Huangmen Order be allowed to enter Theoretically, the Huangmen Ling does not know what Cao Rong said to the minister of Tuogu before.

Only the parties concerned can know the details of the scene.

And the entire scene of Cao Wei's support, according to the description of the secret report, seems to be only two people, Sun Zi and Liu Fang. As Cao Ei's henchmen, they participated in and witnessed the whole process of orphaning. Not to mention that they also persuaded Cao Rong to change the candidate for the orphan minister.

If you think about it this way, this spy can only be one of Sun Zi and Liu Fang, and according to the payment, basically everyone has recognized that this spy may be Liu Fang.

Otherwise, it really can't be said.

And if it was Liu Fang, his behavior would be reasonable.

Liu Fang is also a member of the Han family, but Liu Fang's character is right. To tell the truth, he has a better character, and he can be praised by people in the DPRK, and he is not just Cao Ei's henchman until now, he can only assist Cao Ei in handling government affairs, and he has made no achievements in other aspects.

Moreover, with the death of Cao Rong, Liu Fang also lost his most reliable backer. Cao Rong has no children, Cao Fang is young, and the government is basically in the hands of the Minister of Tuogu, and when Cao Fang grows up, he will inevitably have his own team, and Liu Fang will not be needed at all.

If you think about it from this point of view, Liu Fang really has this motive, and he has to find a way to keep his glory and wealth because of his fornication with the big man.

A mystery that plagued the hearts of the high-level people in the Han Dynasty has been solved, but right. Zhuge Liang took out this letter, but he didn't let the Han ministers discuss who the secret agent was.

"According to the report of the A-word secret agent, Cao Yi died of illness, and he was orphaned by Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, and according to the reports of other secret agents in the north, Sima Yi also said that he was sick after Cao Rong's death, and now Cao Wei's military and political power are all in the hands of Cao Shuang Such a good opportunity, if we sit and watch, we will be blamed."

Zhuge Liang said.

Zhuge Liang showed the focus of this secret letter, which was to tell everyone that now Cao Wei, the lord of Shaoguo, is suspicious, although there are two important ministers, but Sima Yi can only be closed because of the impact of the previous Yanzhou fiasco, and the military and political power is in the hands of Cao Shuang, the second generation of officials who lack heart.

And Cao Shuang, no one will think that he is more difficult than Sima Yi, right?!

If you can't seize the opportunity of Cao Shuang's reign to launch the Northern Expedition, and if you let Sima Yi return to the center of the imperial court, then Cao Wei will be difficult to deal with.

Time is running out.

"That's why I'm waiting for the right time!" Xu Shu still expressed his disagreement, and said, "Sima Yi is a wolf and will not be willing to be subordinate, and it is rumored that Sima Yi and Cao Shuang are not in agreement, these two are both ministers of Tuogu, but the power is gathered in the hands of Cao Shuang alone. Over time, Sima Yi will have a counterattack, and at that time, Cao Wei was in civil strife, and we waited for the opportunity of the Northern Expedition!! ”

Of course, Xu Shu would not think that Cao Shuang was stronger than Sima Yi, but Xu Shu obviously overestimated Cao Shuang.

Xu Shu believes that Cao Shuang, as the general of the Cao Wei clan, although his ability is average, but as the Cao clan and the identity of the minister of the orphan, the foundation of power is naturally more solid than that of Sima Yi, a foreign minister.

At that time, Cao Wei must have fallen into the civil strife of the two auxiliary ministers, and the people's hearts were in turmoil. The Northern Expedition has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

After all, Xu Shu looks at the development of affairs according to the conventional eyes of this era, he has not opened his eyes, and he will not know how far Cao Shuang can pull his crotch.

And the one who opened the eyes of heaven? In fact, I also think that it is not a problem to wait a few more years.

Zhang Xi knew very well that Cao Rong's death was the turning point of Cao Wei's decline.

But in this time and space, Cao Rong died early. The current Cao Fang is only about four years old, which is earlier than the time of succession in history.

Seriously, Zhang Xi really didn't understand, Cao Rong died early, why could Cao Fang succeed to the throne, not Cao Yu or other adult members of the Cao clan.

How could Cao Wei, a shrewd emperor of such a shrewd generation, let Cao Wei, who has now shrunk to the point that only the Hebei region remains, fall into such a situation where the lord and the country are suspicious.

At this time, the most important thing for Cao Wei is stability. Anyway, you Cao Rong doesn't have a son, who to succeed to the throne is not the succession, why do you want to find a child who is only a few years old to succeed to the throne?!

Finding an adult cousin or something, can't he?!

Zhang Xi really can't understand it, but it's true that Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, and Cao Wei is indeed the lord of Shaoguo now.

However, it is precisely because of this suspicion that Cao Wei's power is in the hands of Cao Shuang, the representative of the clan, and Sima Yi will not be able to seize power in a short time.

After all, at this time, the ministers who are interested in Cao Wei still occupy the majority, if Sima Yi fights for power with Cao Shuang at this time, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance and resistance of those ministers who are committed to Cao Wei.

Be the second Dong Zhuo?!

Therefore, at this time, Sima Yi was closed, and Zhang Xi could understand why. He is waiting, waiting for Cao Shuang to die until Cao Wei's loyal ministers can't stand Cao Shuang, so that Sima Yi will seize power again, not to fight for power and profit, but to "set things right".

Sima Yi in history, isn't that what he did, even people like Jiang Ji can support Sima Yi, which shows how angry Cao Shuang has become.

So, according to Zhang Xi's thoughts, it's actually not that he can't continue to wait, and when Cao Shuang dies, it triggers Cao Wei's internal rebellion, even if Sima Yi wins in the end, but Cao Wei's hearts may not be able to be taken back.

At that time, the Northern Expedition could indeed get twice the result with half the effort as Xu Shu predicted.

Just bar.

"Yuan Zhi's plan, the old man also knows, it's just. How long will it take?! ”

"Emperor Taizu Gao decided the world in seven years, and Emperor Guangwu repeated the rivers and mountains in the thirteenth year. It has been 15 years since the first emperor entered Shu and became emperor. ”

"The old man is fifty and seven this year, Yuan Zhi and Shi Yuan are all older than me, Yuan Chang is the youngest, and now he is forty and seven. Gentlemen and old men, how many more years can you wait?! ”

"I don't cut down this year, I don't ask for it tomorrow, I don't levy it every year. I will come to the earth to see the first emperor, how to recover it, and please teach me!! ”

Hawkers, the dead fish head is not particular about being a man.

It doesn't make sense, and it's time to go on the emotional offensive.

However, this set may not be effective for others, but it is really effective for these people on the scene.

Whether it is Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Zhang Xi, or Li Yan, who joined later, more or less, they are all reused by Liu Bei.

According to the values of this era, this kindness must be repaid.

And the main problem now is not really the question of whether the Han has the ability to conquer Cao Wei, but the problem that these things have their own selfishness and do not want to conquer Cao Wei immediately.

So, when Zhuge Liang took out an emotional offensive and used Liu Bei to say something. Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and Li Yan all looked ashamed and stopped talking.

And this problem of the Northern Expedition was basically taken care of by Zhuge Liang again.

It's just that the problem of whether to fight or not has been solved, and the question of how to fight has to be put on the agenda, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts.

After all, no one really wanted to fight before.
