"General, we don't need to worry about Hebei's affairs anymore."

Du Yu frowned and sat down beside Sima Zhao.

Today's Du Yu has been screened and has become the real number one adviser by Sima Zhao's side.

Sima Zhao can be said to be obedient to him, and although Du Yu is not willing to help Sima Zhao deal with the emperor, but to deal with the affairs of the ministers, well, he still has no psychological pressure.

Du Zhen was very opposed to the policy put forward by Wang Xiang and others.

Although they have their own explanations, they move the current clan products closer to the military merit system of the past, saying that it is to mobilize enthusiasm and make the big clans work harder.

But in fact, what they want to promote is completely different from the military merit system.

Today, these big clans in the DPRK and China will definitely become high-quality, and at the same time serve as the supreme ruler, and the supreme ruler in the future will only appear from these people, what up and down, heh, the people who make the judgment and the people who participate in the judgment are the same people, and this can still mobilize enthusiasm??

According to the current situation, the first product will not appear, the highest is the second grade, and the important clans in power are all second ranks, how are you going to float?

Du Yu has been by Sima Zhao's side all these days, giving him advice.

Cao Chao's things will go so smoothly, and there is also a reason for Du Xuan.

Sima Zhao nodded and looked at Du Pre, "The rebellion is almost over, are you going back with the army?" ”

"Can't go back."

"You are different from the general, you are more useful outside than in the temple."

Du Zhen said seriously: "This is a good opportunity for us. ”

"First of all, the general should subdue the clans of Hebei."

"Oh? Yuan Kai means that he wants me to kill Lu Yu? ”

Sima Zhao sneered and said, "I heard that this person has just left Luoyang with his son, and his youngest son has also been deposed and is ready to settle in Xu. ”

Du Yu hurriedly shook his head, "No, you can't kill them, not only can't you kill them, but the general has to take them in and reuse them." ”

"Huh?"

Sima Zhao was a little stunned, and he asked: "Fang Cai Yuankai said that the Hebei clan should be wooed, but this Lu Yu has already offended the entire Hebei clan, how can he still take them in?" If you take them in, won't you cause a lot of trouble? Or even to be the enemy of the Hebei clan? ”

Du Pre explained: "General, the Hebei clan originally followed Lu Yu. ”

"After Lu Yu's accident, the ministers of the temple wanted to attack them and divide their family property, and now they have all defected to Wang Xiang, Wang Xiang inherited Lu Yu's family background, and relied on these people to compete with Gao Rou and others."

"Now it is impossible for the general to win over these Hebei clans, it is better to subdue Lu Yu, the Lu family has reached the most dangerous time, at this time, they dare not refuse the general."

"After all, the wealthy clans in the temple are only a few, if the general can support the many big clans in Hebei, not to mention let them rise again, as long as they can slightly involve the big clans in Henan, they will not be easily annexed, then it will be done."

"Besides, Lu Yu's son and son-in-law are very talented people."

"The general can use them against the temple ministers."

Sima Zhao thought thoughtfully, "Okay, I'll send someone to pick up Lu Yu." ”

"Another thing, that is, the matter of this Chinese army, the general's expedition this time is an excellent opportunity, we can follow the example of that Ma Long, rectify these battalions that followed us on the expedition, and completely control these battalions in our hands."

Du Yu attached great importance to this Ma Long, and said his name in front of Sima Zhao many times, and proposed to let Sima Zhao reward him, and now he wants Sima Zhao to emulate his behavior.

Sima Zhao naturally also knew the importance of military power.

Previously, he would be contained by the ministers, mainly because there were too many children of the big clans in the army, and he could not let the Chinese army fully carry out his orders.

This counterinsurgency is really a good opportunity, we can take the opportunity to promote some talented people, suppress those generals from hostile clans, and use more of our own people.

Sima Zhao immediately agreed again.

Du Yu talked about the next thing, "General, the general of the Che Cavalry has passed away, this time the Shu Kingdom is coming, it must be menacing, this is also a good opportunity for us to make the ministers bow their heads, but in the face of Jiang Wei, we must not be lazy, we must be fully prepared, I think that you can let Yanzhou Assassin Shi Deng Ai prepare, once things change, let him go to Yongliang, assist Chen Gong, beware of Jiang Wei." ”

Sima Zhao agreed to everything, and he shook his head again at this moment and sighed: "If it weren't for Yuan Kai, I'm afraid I'm already anxious, but fortunately, there are still virtuous ministers like you by my side." ”

"General, if you want to deal with the ministers, the most important thing is to have Your Majesty's help."

"If you can join forces with Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about these things."

When Du Yu talked about this again, Sima Zhao's face suddenly changed.

"Am I unwilling? If it weren't for me, would his people have been able to enter the Chinese army? If it weren't for me, would Zhong Hui be able to serve as Zongzheng? ”

"Without me, he wouldn't even be able to save his life! The ministers won't let him go at all! ”

"I've helped so many times, but what is his attitude?"

"Do you want me to beg him to join forces?"

Du Yu didn't know how to persuade Sima Zhao, now that the general is gone, the balance of the temple no longer exists, if the emperor and Sima Zhao can join forces, they can still resist the ministers in the temple.

It can even carry out a counter-offensive and force the ministers to become well-behaved again.

But Du Yu didn't know why, the emperor always refused to take this step, obviously the interests of both sides were the same, Sima Zhao also made a few moves, but the emperor just refused to officially join forces.

And Sima Zhao naturally wouldn't beg Cao Chao to join forces.

Du Yu is a little worried, today's ministers are not a threat, that is because of their serious internal power struggle, once someone like Lu Yu masters the ministers and becomes the leader of the ministers in the real sense, then their own family will fall into a disadvantage.

Now he asked Sima Zhao to make a lot of preparations, which can only be regarded as increasing his bargaining chips, so that he will not be broken too early, but it is not the real solution to the problem.

If you want to really solve them, you need to cooperate with both sides to make up for the power vacuum, and a powerful emperor or a powerful general can solve this troublesome matter.

Sima Zhao saw Du Yu with a worried face, and he also put away his anger slightly, and he said: "Don't worry about Yuan Kai, go back to Yanzhou first, talk to Deng Tingshi about the rectification of the Chinese army, and then I will send someone to contact the emperor." ”

"If he is as wise as everyone says, he should help me pacify my ministers!"

Tai Chi Hall, inside the West Hall.

"Hahaha, it's worthy of Zhong Jun!"

"I have already heard about the matter of Shangshutai, and those words made Wang Xiang lose his fighting spirit, there was a big problem under his own command, and I heard that Cui Zan was unwilling to go to his mansion again!"

Cao Chao looked at Zhong Hui in front of him and was very happy.

He really didn't expect that in this case, Zhong Hui would be able to beat a rake and directly buckle the Hebei turmoil on Wang Xiang's head, no matter how Wang Xiang explained, anyway, what should have been said has already been said, the thorns have been planted, and no matter how much they wash, they will not be able to return to the original innocence.

Zhong Hui shook his head and said calmly: "This is not the minister's doing. ”

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, "So it's Tingwei's own strategy?" ”

Zhong Hui laughed disdainfully, "He just wants to push things on my head, he has always been like this, he wants to do big things, but he doesn't dare to take responsibility." ”

If it weren't for Zhong Hui, Cao Chao didn't expect that this was really Zhong Yu's own plan.

The matter of Shangshutai has been rumored, and it has been rumored in Luoyang, and Cao Chao doesn't want to know more, this is Sima Fu or Gao Rou working hard behind his back, wanting to press Wang Xiang down again.

When he first heard about this, Cao Chao immediately decided that Zhong would ask his brother to say it.

I really didn't expect that Zhong Yu's loyal and honest appearance was even more cunning and intelligent than Zhong Hui.

Cao Chao didn't think that Zhong would tell a lie, if a person like him did such a thing, he would like to tell everyone, and he wouldn't push it on his brother at all.

In this way, I still despise this court lieutenant.

Zhong Hui continued: "The Sima family also doesn't want to see Shangshutai pacified, and now, the Sima family should want to join forces with His Majesty even more. ”

Cao Chao laughed, "Yes, Sima Zhao probably can't sit still, and it's not good to pull down his face and take the initiative to speak." ”

Zhong Hui nodded, Cao Chao and Zhong Hui didn't think about joining forces with Sima Zhao, what they wanted was to inherit Sima Shi and turn the Sima family into their own, not an alliance, they wanted a merger!

"That being the case, Your Majesty, we can't do anything more from now on."

"Oh? Does Zhong Yu want the ministers to fight General Wei? ”

Zhong Hui said unhappily: "My brother, who pushed everything on my head, obviously wanted to see us fight against the ministers, and they stood behind to benefit. ”

"How can there be such a truth in the world?"

"If we want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, then we have to reap it!"

"We've done enough in these days, and then I'll continue to handle the affairs of the clan in secret, and let Wang Xiang do it, if Sima Zhao doesn't want to get out of control, he has to take the initiative."

"Your Majesty must sit still, don't rush to make a move."

Cao Chao smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, I know."

Zhong Hui suddenly scolded again: "That Yan King is really incompetent! ”

"Although Xiahou Xian is reckless, he is a little bold, but this King Yan has become more cowardly than before, in the face of the ministers, he only knows how to nod and retreat, and even became a sharp weapon used by Wang Xiang and others to deal with Xiahou Xian."

"If it weren't for the strength of the clan, I would have persuaded Your Majesty to get rid of him directly."

Speaking of Cao Yu, Cao Chao's face was also a little disappointed.

I thought that after years of captivity, this person would be able to wake up, but I didn't expect it to be even more disappointing than before.

You can't be an auxiliary minister!

Cao Chao made a straight face and said solemnly: "Shi Ji doesn't have to worry about this person, I will let him firm his position." ”
