Huan Fan adopted this suggestion and immediately set off to Pingchang Gate. The city gate was closed. The general guarding the city gate was a former official named Si Fan. Fan Xiu quickly took out the bamboo slips from the sleeve and said:
"The Empress Dowager issued an edict, so you can open the city gate quickly." Si Fan said: "Since that's the case, I hope you can check it."
After hearing this, Huan Fan was furious and said, "You are a former official under my disciple, how dare you do this?"
Si Fan looked at Huan Fan and felt that he could not offend him too much, so he opened the city gate. When he left the city gate, he shouted: "The Grand Tutor plots to rebel, you can leave with me!"
Si Fan was originally the person arranged by Sima Yi. When he heard the other party say this, he was very surprised. When he was about to take his troops to chase him, the other party had already run away, so he sent someone to report to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi was very surprised and said, "It seems that our plan is about to be leaked! What should I do?"
Jiang Ji said: "If the war horses like the food in the inn, then there is no way to go to the front line to fight again!"
Sima Yi then called Xu Yun, and Chen Tai said, "You go to see Cao Shuang and tell him that the Taifu has no other intention, just to reduce his brother's military power."
After Xu, Chen left, he recruited Yin Damu, a captain in the palace, and asked Jiang Ji to write a letter and asked him to take him to find Cao Shuang. Sima Yi ordered: "You have a good relationship with Cao Shuang, you can do it. You see Cao Shuang.
Later, he said that Jiang Ji and I pointed at Luoshui and sweared that it was just because of military power, and there was no other intention." So Yin Damu had to order him to leave.
Cao Shuang was hunting outside and was happy. Suddenly, a soldier came to report that a rebellion occurred in the city. The Grand Tutor had a letter of writing. Cao Shuang was very surprised and almost fell. The yellow gate official held the letter and knelt in front of the emperor. Cao Shuang took the letter of writing and opened it.
The content is: The Grand Governor of Zhengxi, Sima Yi, the Grand Tutor of the Grand Tutor, was frightened and trepidated. Since I came back from Liaodong, the late emperor issued an edict to summon me, the ministers, the King of Qin and others to serve by the bed, pull my arm, and explain to me.
Now the general Cao Shuang has betrayed the order and ruined the national laws. He has mastered military power internally and is domineering externally. The Shu army conquered Chang'an without caring about it, appointed Huangmen, Zhang was the eunuch, and cultivated many confidants to do it.
I have done many bad things, separated from His Majesty's brotherly relationship, hurt his flesh and blood, and the people of the world
They all felt scared, the people were not there, and all of them were not the intention of the late emperor to summon me. Although I was old, I dare not forget my oath. Grand Marshal Jiang Ji, Shangshu Ling Chenfu and others came to me before and after,
I think Cao Shuang has no His Majesty in his heart, and his brothers are not suitable for garrisoning troops. I went to report to Yongning Palace. The Empress Dowager sent me to explain everything like this. I have already used some people who wantonly act like Huangmen Ling, etc.
, they all killed, and at the same time, the military power of Cao Shuang, Cao Xi, Cao Xun and others was dismissed, waiting for His Majesty to return triumphantly, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law. I was sick and tried my best to camp the troops on the Luoshui floating bridge to resist the Shu army.
I want to tell Your Majesty these things through a document to infringe on and stabilize the situation in the country.
After hearing this, Cao Fang said to Cao Shuang: "The Grand Tutor has said this, what should you do?"
Cao Shuang had never seen such a world before. She was at a loss for a moment and turned around and said to her second brother: "What should we do?"
Reply: "Although I don't have any talent, I have advised my brother now. My brother is obsessed with it and just doesn't listen, which leads to today's ending. Sima Yi is a very cunning person. Zhuge Liang, the former prime minister of Shu Kingdom, could not defeat him, let alone our brother
What? Why not tie yourself up and find him, maybe you can avoid death." As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Chang and Sima Luzhi arrived. Cao Shuang quickly asked about the situation and replied: "The city has been surrounded like a railway track.
Fu and his troops were stationed in Luoshui floating bridge. He had decided not to return and needed to decide on his plan as soon as possible."
While discussing, the Siyuan Huan Fan also arrived on a horse and said to Cao Shuang: "The Grand Tutor has rebelled. Why didn't the general ask the emperor to go to Xudu and send troops outside to attack Sima Yi?"
Cao Shuang said: "Now our whole family is in the city, how can we go to other places to ask for help?"
He replied: "Every man is in danger and hopes to survive! Now the lord is surrounded by the emperor of Wei. He is the emperor of the world. Who dares not agree? Isn't that seeking death?"
After hearing this, Cao Shuang was still hesitant and just cried bitterly. Huan Fan continued: "It won't take long to go to Xudu now. The food and grass in the city can only be supported for a few years. Now the lord's troops in other camps are in Quenan.
, and the summoning will arrive. The Grand Sima's seal is also here. The lord can make a quick decision. If it is too late, it will be too late!"
Cao Shuang was still hesitating and said, "Don't force me too much, I'll think about it."
Not long after, the Minister of State Xu Yun and the Minister of State Chen Tai arrived and told: "The Grand Tutor thinks that the general's power is too great, just to remove the military power. There is no other intention. The general can return to the city as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Cao Shuang didn't say anything. He saw Yin Damu, the captain in the hall, walked up to him, and bowed, saying, "The tutor pointed at Luoshui and sweared that there was no other meaning. With the letter from Jiang Taiwei, the general could be the power of the general.
Cut it out and go home early.”
Cao Shuang was eager to return home and thought the suggestion was very good. Huan Fan reminded: "The matter is already very urgent. Don't listen to their persuasion. It's all a scam."
At night, Cao Shuang still couldn't decide. She held the sword tightly in her hand, recalled the past, sighed, and cried from dusk until the next day, but still couldn't come up with something.
Huan Fan entered the camp, hoping that Cao Shuang would listen to his opinions, and urged: "The lord has been thinking for a night, why haven't he made a decision yet?"
Cao Shuang threw away the sword and sighed: "I decided not to raise an army anymore. It would be nice to be a rich man!"
After hearing this, Huan Fan was very disappointed and walked out of the camp and said, "Your father is known for his wisdom. The three sons he gave birth to are all a group of pigs!" After that, he cried bitterly.
Xu Yun, Chen Tai sent Cao Shuang to Sima Yi first, Cao Shuang sent someone to send the seal. The chief clerk Yang Zong intercepted the seal and cried: "The lord has given up his military power now, and he still tied himself to surrender. It is inevitable that he will
Don’t be beheaded in the East City of Luoyang!”
Cao Shuang smiled and said, "I think the Grand Tutor will definitely not lie." So Cao Shuang gave the seal to Xu and Chen and wrote a reply to Sima Yi. When everyone saw that the seal was no one, the soldiers dispersed one after another.
Cao Shuang had only a few cavalry under his command.
When passing the floating bridge, Sima Yi ordered the three Cao Shuang brothers to go home first, and the others were waiting for the rest.
When Cao Shuang and others entered the city, no attendant was present. Huan Fan came to the floating bridge. Sima Yi pointed at him with a whip and said, "Why do you do this?"
He ignored it, just bowed his head and entered the city without saying a word. So Sima Yi invited the emperor to enter Luoyang. After Cao Shuang's brothers returned home, Sima Yi locked the door with a big lock and sent 800 residents to surround him. Cao Shuang was very worried.
