What an old fox Sima Yi is, how could he take the initiative to stand up at such a time, is it really a model of loyalty and patriotism for him Sima Yi?!

Now the situation is unclear, the Shu thieves have just started their troops, the strategic intentions have not been revealed, and the Wei army also has enough troops to garrison. Now stand up and take the initiative to lead the troops into the battle, and you must take responsibility for the good or the bad.

Again, it is impossible for Sima Yi to rush out stupidly because of the persuasion of a Jiang Ji and a Jia Kui, and fight against Cao Shuang, who represents the interests of the Hebei family.

If Sima Yi wants to go out of the mountain, it must be fully supported by the Hedong family, or if the Hebei family is soft, abandons Cao Shuang, and supports him Sima Yi, he will consider whether to go out of the mountain.

After the last battle of Yanzhou, Sima Yi had enough of being disturbed by external factors, which caused him to be unable to give full play to his talents. Next time he wants to go out of the mountain, Sima Yi must first grasp the absolute right, otherwise, he would rather not go out of the mountain.

Of course, it does not mean that if Sima Yi is given absolute rights, he will definitely go out of the mountain.

Sima Yi will never put himself on the crater If Cao Wei really has gone, then no matter whether the Hebei family is soft or not, Sima Yi will not go out of the mountain.

He didn't have the consciousness to accompany the burial of Da Wei.

All in all, this visit by Jiang Ji and Jia Kui is destined to be in vain, and now is not the most suitable time to go out of the mountain as Sima Yi expected.

And Sima Yi can't go out of the mountain, so he can only rely on Cao Shuang.

But Cao Shuang is really unreliable.

Although let's say it, everyone knows that Zhuge Liang's claim that 300,000 troops invaded Hanoi is false, and it is impossible for the Shu Han side to gather so many troops to attack Hanoi at once, and it will only be more than 100,000 people to die, but right, your Cao Wei only has 110,000 troops in Hanoi and Hedong counties combined.

Today's situation is not as good as in the past, the Han Dynasty has won a complete victory in several Northern Expeditions, and the last time it attacked Yanzhou, it was a state that was destroyed and decayed, and it was defeated in less than a year. The people of Hedong are nervous, almost certainly.

During the Battle of Chibi that year, Cao Cao led his troops south, and the number of troops that directly threatened Jiangdong was only about 200,000, and Jiangdong was not unable to take out 100,000 soldiers and horses to resist Cao, but why were the people of Jiangdong panicking, and even Zhang Zhao advocated using the means of surrender to save the Sun family? !

It is not as good as the human ear.

In fact, the situation is the same today.

At this time, Cao Shuang, as Cao Wei's general, the most important thing he should do is to go to the front line to inspect it, even if it is to pretend to walk around.

On the one hand, it can stabilize the morale of the army and strengthen the confidence of the Wei army in resisting the northern expedition of the Han army.

On the other hand, it is also to express to the Hedong family that Cao Wei has no intention of giving up Hedong and stabilize the minds of the Hedong family.

Only when these two aspects are done well, then it is possible to hold Hedong or southern Hebei.

But Cao Shuang just stayed in Yecheng and didn't move.

Of course, Cao Shuang also has Cao Shuang's considerations, but Cao Shuang's considerations obviously don't have much public intentions, and they are almost all selfish.

First, Cao Shuang has not been in power for a long time, and his foundation is indeed unstable, and he must guard against internal political enemies seizing power.

Especially about Jia Kui and Jiang Ji's private visit to Sima Yi, Cao Shuang still knew about it, and this aroused Cao Shuang's vigilance.

Cao Shuang can not be afraid of others, but for Sima Yi, Cao Shuang has always dared not take it lightly.

Anyway, Cao Shuang doesn't believe that Sima Yi is a person, he is a person who is willing to be in the same boat with him for the sake of Great Wei In Cao Shuang's opinion, if he leaves Yecheng rashly, Sima Yi will definitely take the opportunity to control the Son of Heaven and seize power.

Therefore, Cao Shuang will never leave the Son of Heaven easily.

Another, Cao Shuang thinks that his previous arrangements are already in place, and he is full of favors to win people's hearts in Hedong, and it doesn't matter if he goes to Hedong or not.

On the contrary, if he went to Hedong and was just in time for the Shu thieves to attack, it would be really difficult to ride a tiger.

Stay in Hedong, it's very dangerous, in case it is broken by Shu thieves, it's hard to say whether you can escape back to Yecheng, even if you escape back, your prestige will be greatly reduced, affecting your continued control of the government.

Let's leave immediately, it's not like the dignified General Wei, returning to Yecheng in the case of an attack by Shu thieves will inevitably shake the morale of the army, and even trigger a chain reaction of the Hedong family.

Cao Shuang still has this military and political common sense.

So, if you don't go to Hedong, it's obviously more beneficial to Cao Shuang than to Hedong, so why did Cao Shuang go to Hedong?!

But Cao Shuang doesn't go to Hedong, he relies on the old face of the Hedong family, which one can take him seriously? !

As Zhuge Liang crossed the river and entered Beizhong City, the frequency of communication between the Hedong families obviously began to become more frequent.

Zhuge Liang has been guarding Luoyang for seven or eight years, but he has not been idle at all, he has always been trying to change the Hedong family's view of the Han Dynasty, hoping to win over some of the families in Hedong to support the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

But, it's not easy.

As an important supporter of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Hedong family enjoyed a lot of privileges within Cao Wei.

When Cao Cao started his army in his early years, he received the support of the Yingchuan family and the Hedong family, and he was able to "serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate".

If it were replaced by an ordinary monarch, in the current situation of this era, the Hedong family and the Yingchuan family would most likely evolve into a terrible political monster, but they met Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's political level is still very high, he realized this problem early, and after pacifying Hebei, he began to lay out and support the Hebei family to fight against the Hedong and Yingchuan families.

Among the most important political events, there are two.

One, Cao Cao called the Duke of Wei, the fief was in Hebei, and the capital was Yecheng.

It is clear that by doing so, Cao Cao was moving his political center from Xuchang to Hebei and weakening the power of the Yingchuan and Hedong families within Cao Wei.

The other is the famous empty food box incident.

Although the apparent reason for the empty food box incident was Xun Yu's opposition to Cao Cao's claim to the public, the actual internal reason was not necessarily that the Central Plains family headed by Yingchuan and Hedong had too much power, which caused Cao Cao's suspicion.

Otherwise, Cao Cao really doesn't need to do things so desperately. Uh, that's a bit of a stretch.

After Cao Cao's continuous suppression, the power of the Central Plains family was greatly reduced, the Hebei family rose, and gradually fought against the Hebei family, but later Cao Pi seized the opportunity in order to become the emperor.

After a series of political transactions with the Hedong family, the most powerful Central Plains family expressed its support for Cao Pi to be the emperor, and correspondingly, Cao Pi gave the Hedong family a lot of privileges For this reason, Cao Pi even stayed in Luoyang until his death.

Seriously, if it weren't for the conditions at that time, Cao Pi might even have directly set Cao Wei's capital in Luoyang instead of Yecheng.

After Cao Ei ascended the throne, the situation in Heluo began to deteriorate again, and Luoyang was lost, causing Hedong to suddenly become the front line, and it was even more unlikely that Cao Ei would withdraw his promise of privilege to the Hedong family in this situation.

Later, in order to increase the financial revenue of the imperial court, Cao Rong adopted Sun Zi's suggestion and introduced the "money for discussion" system. This system, in fact, is essentially to give all the big families the privilege of committing crimes, and the Hedong family is obviously one of the beneficiaries.

All kinds of privileges have caused the Hedong family to never make up their minds to choose between the Great Wei and the Great Han.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, the Hedong families can enjoy all kinds of privileges, arbitrarily annex land, ensure their family interests, and break the law can also be pardoned through privileges, but all this, if it is changed to the Great Han, it will be gone.

Within the system of the Han Dynasty, the family has certain privileges, but this privilege is limited to the right to select personnel. And I heard that Zhuge Liang has recently carried out some reforms, and this privilege has begun to be slowly tightened.

And the annexation of land, a fish scale atlas system will give you the rigid provisions, to annex the land is not impossible, but you have to pay taxes. This made the Hedong family a little discouraged.

As for what kind of money is discussed, it is impossible to appear in the Han Dynasty, on the contrary, Zhuge Liang has always been famous for his strict laws.

This led to the fact that these Hedong families were still willing to support Cao Wei even though they were only separated by a river from the Han Dynasty.

After all, the benefits given by Cao Wei are too many.

But now, the situation is different. Ji Han crossed the Yellow River.

The last time I fought the Yellow River, Qin Lang and Xiahou Ba held it. It doesn't matter if it's hard to keep it, but it's a good thing to hold after all.

But during this period, the Hedong family was also sacked by the Qianghu rangers, and they personally felt the actual threat of war.

This is a very fresh, but also very cruel experience for the Hedong family.

For a long time, even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Hedong actually suffered a loss that was not too great.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion hit Yingchuan, but it never affected Hedong.

In Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Luoyang was burned down, but in the Hedong region, only a small number of counties were sacked by the Xiliang soldiers, and most of the rest of the areas were not greatly affected.

And with Cao Cao coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes to rebuild Luoyang, the Hedong region was completely peaceful, and there was no longer the threat of war.

But now, the war is at the doorstep, whether it is to keep his privileges and continue to support Cao Wei, or whether he "knows the times as a handsome man" and reverts to the Han Dynasty, which requires an agreement within the Hedong family.

But this agreement is not easy to achieve.

Within the Hedong family, which family did not hold important positions in Cao Wei's side.

Not to mention anything else, the leader of the Hedong family, Pei Qian, their family Pei Qian, has just been promoted to Yecheng as Shang Shuling, and the head of the Hanoi family, the Sima family, their head Sima Yi, is now Cao Wei's two generations of orphans.

If you want to change the court, the price you need to pay is very large, and sometimes, it may even lead to a big family.

Therefore, until Zhuge Liang waved his army to attack Wen County, no final agreement was reached.
