Xuchang Prime Minister's Mansion, in the afternoon, under the warm winter sun, this big place has a touch of warmth, and Cao Shuang is also happy in his heart,
If I hadn't been decisive this time, I might have been monitored by Sima Yi in the General's Mansion in Luoyang, and even bending down to pick up his shoes would have been recorded.
Cao Shuang asked Jian Jia to grind and personally wrote letters to various local ministers, denounced Sima Yi's treason.
"Cao Shuang said with a smile: "Jianjia, grind it for your husband, and write letters for your husband."
Jian Jia smiled and said: "General, I accept my order." After saying that, he polished and polished the pen, and then handed it to Cao Shuang.
"Assisting the Shu Guards, the general on the right, Bo Tingchanghou's uncle Xiahou Ba, has personally announced that there is a traitor in our Wei Dynasty, Sima Yi, who intends to rebel under the pretext of the Queen Mother Yi's decree.
Kill the nephew to overthrow the Cao Wei Kingdom. In the past, Emperor Wu once said that the three horses would share the same fate, and now it has almost come true. The nephew thought that the three horses were Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao and his son.
Let’s share the kingdom of Wei together. I also hope that my uncle will quickly raise his troops and lead his troops to enter the Guanzhong. King Qin will plan for the kingdom of Wei. My uncle will go to the national disaster with my nephew. I believe that together, my uncle and nephew will be able to win in one battle.
Kill the Sima clan and protect our country and the country of Wei Dynasty!"
After Cao Shuang finished writing the letter to Xiahou Ba, he ordered his soldiers to rush to the headquarters of Xiahou Ba's army in Longxi.
Cao Shuang later wrote a letter to his cousin Xia Houxuan, who commanded an army of 100,000 troops in Chang'an, based on the letter he had written to Xia Houba before, stating that it was His Majesty Cao Fang's intention to raise an army to fight against rebellion, and it was not his idea alone.
The letter also mentioned the friendship and family ties over the years, the rewards after the achievement, and the dangers of not sending troops. It also attached the Young Emperor's edict to send troops to fight against rebellion, ordering him to send troops immediately.
Cao Shuang thought for a while and wrote a personal letter to Cao Biao, the king of Chu and the son of Emperor Wu of the Cao clan who was in the south.
He calmly appeased the frustrated prince who missed out on the position of assistant minister, and made a promise in the name of Young Emperor Cao Fang.
As long as he leads the troops diligently, the king will give him the position of assistant minister again, and he can be granted the title of Taifu. Cao Shuang doesn't care whether he can fulfill his promise in the future.
Let the veteran of Cao Wei come back first, unite people's hearts, and destroy the Sima family. After all, the military power is in his own hands.
The letter also mentioned the matter of rabbits dying and dogs being cooked, and asked his uncle Cao Biao not to be deceived by Sima Yi, so as not to waste his own life and the country of Wei.
Finally, Cao Shuang wrote another letter to Sikong Wang Ling, asking him to bring troops from Huainan to participate in the affairs of King Qin, and he was promoted to Nanxiang Duke. He also stated that this was the will of the young emperor Cao Fang, then he blew it dry gently and handed it over.
Send it out to soldiers.
Cao Shuang stood up, moved around, took a deep breath and said, "I've finally finished writing. I've been writing for a long time and I'm a little rusty."
Jian Jia cooked a pot of green tea for him at the side, put honey in it, kissed the steaming tea to cool it down, handed it to him, and said with affection in her eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, husband!"
Cao Shuang took it with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.
In the evening, Jian Jia cooked in person and prepared a sumptuous table of dishes to celebrate her husband's escape.
Cao Shuang was pacing the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about his next military strategy against Sima Yi.
The soldiers came to report that it was the great Sinong Hengfan and the general Sima Luzhi who wanted to see him and had something important to report.
Cao Shuang thought that the food, grass and weapons they had prepared each should be ready, so he asked his soldiers to invite them in. The chief secretary Yang Cong was sent to Chang'an to deliver a message to persuade Xia Houxuan to lead troops to Luoyang City with Xia Houxuan.
Convergence.
The Great Sinong Hengfan said: "I am reporting to the General that I have been ordered to collect grain and grass. I have collected 100,000 tons of grain and grass from the Xuchang Palace Treasury, which is enough for our army for one month. The General can rest assured to use troops against Sima Yi who is shrinking in Luoyang!"<
/p>
Lu Zhi said: "General, my subordinates have been ordered to take out weapons and armor from the Xuchang treasury, and have ordered the army to change their armor. We will send troops to Luoyang as soon as the general gives the order!"
Cao Shuang said with a smile: "Now that the food, grass and soldiers are all ready, the army will set off tonight and arrive in Luoyang at dawn tomorrow.
I have asked the emperor to issue an order to the generals from all over the world, ordering them to come to Luoyang to fight against the rebellion. At the same time, I have also told the world about the sins of the old thief Sima.
If the Sima family no longer has a place among the gentry of the Wei Dynasty, his status as the leader of the gentry of Sima Yi will no longer exist!"
Sir Nong Hengfan and General Lu Zhi said in unison: "The great general is wise!"
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "My lords, my wife has cooked some food tonight. The three of us will try her cooking together, and then we will leave for Luoyang!"
The two of them smiled and said: "I'll thank you, General!" They thought that the General had really undergone such a big change.
They have become more able to win people's hearts, and everything is developing in the right direction. At this moment, the two of them also have an unreal feeling.
Cao Shuang stayed with the two of them for dinner, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. After dinner, Cao Shuang asked the two of them to go back to the military camp to prepare. After he said goodbye to his wife, he set off overnight for Luoyang.
After the two left, Jian Jia brought the people in to clear away the dishes. Cao Shuang said to Jian Jia, who looked worried: "Don't worry, Jian Jia, my husband will come back victorious!"
After hearing Cao Shuang's assurance, Jian Jia turned from worry to joy and said with a smile: "Husband, please feel free to fight. I am waiting for your husband to return victoriously at the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Cao Shuang asked Jian Jia and his maids to wear armor for him, and then went out of the Prime Minister's Mansion to ride his horse to the temporary camp of the army outside the city. The emperor and other ministers were already waiting here, and the 100,000-strong army was in neat formation and ready to go.
General Lu Zhi rode out and said: "Please give the order, General!"
Cao Shuang pulled out the long sword from his waist, pointed to the sky and said: "The army is marching!"
At night, in the Sima Mansion in Luoyang City, the only person Sima Yi could negotiate with was Sima Zhao, who was almost left alone. The rest of the generals and his confidants were all captured by Cao Shuang.
Sima Yi took the steaming porridge brought by Hou Ji and ate it slowly. Sima Yi said with an ugly face: "Zhao'er, what do you think we should do now?"
People inside and outside Luoyang say that my father lost his wife and lost his army, and he is already in decline. Alas, even if my father pretends to be sick and shows weakness again, Cao Shuang will not buy it."
Sima Zhao said unwillingly: "Father, are we losing like this? We still have two generals, Guo Huai and Sun Li, who can give us another try!"
Sima Yi said helplessly: "Oh, Zhao'er, you don't know something. The two generals Guo and Sun were demoted to Liang and a remote place. If we wait for them to rescue them, the day lilies will be cold!" p>
Hou Ji also interjected with an anxious look on his face: "Master, why don't we leave the city overnight to Shu Han? Didn't Zhuge Liang say during his lifetime that as long as you go to Shu Han, you will be treated well by high officials and generous salaries?"
Sima Yi nodded and agreed, but he couldn't bear to lose his foundation in the Wei Dynasty. His unkempt white hair was messy and unkempt.
Sima Zhao also persuaded: "Father, it's not too late. Let's leave tonight. If we are late, it will be too late. Cao Shuang will definitely not let go of my Sima family. Don't waste the hard work of eldest brother and uncle!" p>
This is a dead soldier entering the meeting hall and whispering a report in Sima Yi's ear.
Sima Yi was shocked: "Cao Shuang's vicious plot first ruined my reputation and ruined my reputation. It made all the nobles of the Wei Dynasty despise me and no longer regard me, Sima Yi, as the leader of the nobles.
He also asked the emperor to issue an edict to call on King Qin of Wei to come and kill me together. This is really a vicious idea and will destroy the foundation of our Sima family in Wei.
I really underestimated him before becoming a father. Alas, Hou Ji is right. Let’s leave quickly. There is nothing we can do to save our father!”
Sima Zhao asked a thousand dead men to collect some gold and silver. Under the leadership of Sima Yi, they left Luoyang overnight, took Ziwu Road and Qishan Road out of Guanzhong, and headed for Hanzhong...
