Speaking of Xu Shu, Xun Yu took Man Chong away from the gate of Weihou Mansion. On the way, Man Chong also informed the two of them of the information they had just obtained. After listening to Man Chong's narration, both of their expressions changed, and they immediately said
Seeing the meaning, Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "This is terrible! I think we fell into the Western Qin's plan this time!"
Xu Shu suddenly said such a sentence, which made Xun Yu and Man Chong a little confused. At this time, the three of them had already arrived at Xun Yu's house. Under the leadership of Xun Yu, several people rushed to Xun Yu's house.
In the study room of the mansion. After the study door was closed and the three of them sat down in order, Xun Yu asked first, "Yuan Zhi, you just said that we fell into the Western Qin's plan. What's going on?"
Naturally, I was very worried. Cao Ren was accompanying Cao Ren on this expedition, as well as his old nephew Xun You. If there were any problems with this expedition, I'm afraid Xun You would also be in trouble!
Xu Shu's face was already as dark as ink. After hearing Xun Yu's question, Xu Shu raised his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we have really been fooled this time! In fact, I have been thinking about it these past few days.
Everyone is muttering, we can see the importance of the emperor. There are many wise and resourceful people in the Western Qin Dynasty. It’s impossible not to see it! It’s been so many days since the incident happened. Why don’t Luoyang send people to take the emperor back to Chang’an?
Go? Even if Luo Zheng is seriously injured and cannot travel long distances, aren't the emperor and the princess both in good health?"
Xun Yu was not a fool. He immediately understood what Xu Shu meant, and his face changed accordingly. He exclaimed: "Yuan Zhi! You, you mean, our expedition to Nanton this time has been anticipated by the Western Qin Dynasty."
Guilty! Xi Qin deliberately used the Emperor as a bait and set up such a trap just to wait for us to exploit it!"
Xu Shu smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "It seems that this is the case! Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Gao Shun, who had been silent for so many years, suddenly came out of Hangu Pass! It also explains why the Western Qin Dynasty has never sent anyone.
Go and take the emperor back to the court!"
When Xu Shu said this, the expressions of Xun Yu and Man Chong became ugly. Man Chong suddenly stood up and shouted: "If this is the case, then it is even more important to report it to the lord! Master Xu! Master Xun
! Let’s go to the Marquis of Wei’s Mansion now, and we must open the door to meet the lord!”
"Bo Ning! Don't be impulsive!" Xu Shu and Xun Yu were both startled, and immediately stretched out their hands to pull back Man Chong who was about to leave the study. Xun Yu advised: "Bo Ning! You run to the Marquis of Wei now.
We will definitely not be able to see the Lord’s face! We can’t even enter the Weihou Mansion! Haven’t you seen it clearly? Something happened to the Weihou Mansion!”
"Something happened? What happened?" Man Chong also turned pale when Xun Yu said this. Now Cao Wei is in a precarious situation, surrounded by powerful enemies outside. If there is any problem internally, what will happen to Cao Wei after so many years?
Wouldn’t his foundation be destroyed in one fell swoop?
Both Xu Shu and Xun Yu did not answer Man Chong's question, but remained silent. After a long time, Xu Shu sighed deeply, frowned and asked: "Bo Ning! You are in charge of Cao Wei's military affairs, and you are responsible for Dongjun."
The big and small affairs in the city should be relatively clear. Although I also know that you have been ordered by the lord not to disclose it, but now is an emergency after all, so I hope you can tell the truth! In the past few days, Sima Zhongda can be here
where?"
"Uh!" Man Chong hesitated for a moment. Of course he also had information about Dongjun City. Except for the affairs of Cao Cao and a group of young masters, which were not under his control, Man Chong knew the information about other important ministers in detail. But back then, Man Chong knew
When Chong accepted this position, Cao Cao made it very clear that this information could not be disclosed to anyone without Cao Cao's personal consent! However, Man Chong was not the kind of person to stick to the rules. After thinking about it for a while, Man Chong still decided
He replied: "If I remember correctly, according to the secret report of the spies, Lord Sima went to the second young master's house three days ago, and then went to the Weihou's house with the second young master. He has not come out yet, and he should be at Weihou now.
In the house!”
"Sure enough!" Xu Shu's eyes flashed, and he and Xun Yu glanced at each other. They had already had some doubts about Sima Yi before. Since the failure of the Youzhou battle, although Cao Cao didn't say anything, he still had some doubts about Sima Yi.
Sima Yi is becoming more and more distant. If it were someone else, he might not notice it, but how could a wise man like Sima Yi not feel it? When he proposed the plan to sneak attack Nanton, Cao Cao already had some distrust of Sima Yi.
At that time, Xu Shu had already discovered that Sima Yi had a knot in his heart. Although Xu Shu had talked to Sima Yi afterwards, it seemed that the knot in Sima Yi's heart had not been eliminated.
Early this morning, Xun Yu came to see Xu Shu in person. He said that the spies of the Xun family suddenly discovered that the defenders of Dongjun had been mobilized frequently in the past few days, and they all used Cao Cao's secret orders! But in the past few days, Cao Cao was seriously ill.
, has not shown up for a long time! After hearing the news, Xu Shu felt something was wrong, so he and Xun Yu hurried to Weihou Mansion, but they did not expect to bump into Man Chong.
Although there was no evidence to prove it, Xu Shu's first feeling was that this matter was definitely related to Sima Yi! Immediately Xu Shu asked Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, in your opinion, are the changes that have taken place in the Weihou Mansion real?
Is this an order from the eldest son?" What Xu Shu was referring to was naturally the order prohibiting everyone from meeting Cao Cao and recruiting all the young masters into the Weihou Mansion.
Xun Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No! The eldest son is a smart man, and the situation is so chaotic now, he will never make such an unwise move at this critical moment! The eldest son is the eldest son of the lord,
He is the legitimate heir. Although Mrs. Bian and several young masters have been eyeing the eldest young master's position, the lord will not shake the eldest young master's position for no reason! In addition, the last incident has already made the lord a little dissatisfied, even if the eldest young master is
No matter how stupid you are, you will never make a mistake twice!"
Xun Yu, who has always supported orthodoxy, has always firmly supported Cao Ang and has a good understanding of Cao Ang's temper. Moreover, if Cao Ang really wants to do something big, it is impossible not to come to him for discussion, so Xun Yu can be sure.
Answer Xu Shu’s question!
Xu Shu had the same idea as Xun Yu. Although Xu Shu did not support Cao Ang as clearly as Xun Yu, he knew Cao Ang's character relatively well. Maybe Cao Ang would think of some ways to maintain his position, but he would never take any measures.
Such an extreme method! But the sergeants who blocked the Weihou Mansion were all in the name of Cao Ang! Recalling the strange reaction of the sergeant just now, Xu Shu's eyes flashed, as if he had some realization.
!
Then Xu Shu nodded and said: "The situation is already very critical now. We can't delay any longer. We must enter the Weihou Mansion immediately and meet the lord!"
"But you have all seen what happened just now! We alone can't enter the mansion at all!" Man Chong also looked anxious. Not only was he fighting for Cao Ang and other young masters, but now he also had this person who was trapped in the camp.
He had a piece of information in his hands! Man Chong thought for a while and couldn't help but said: "Why don't we mobilize the garrison in the city?"
"No!" Xu Shu and Xun Yu unanimously rejected Man Chong's proposal. After telling the secret report obtained by the Xun family's spies, Xun Yu frowned and said: "Now the defenders of Dongjun already have problems!
If we rashly mobilize the defenders, we will only alert the enemy and make the real mastermind take precautions! We may even force them to jump over the wall in a hurry, and it will even be detrimental to the lord at that time. That would be terrible!"
Man Chong understood when he heard this, and said to the two of them with a bitter look on his face: "This won't work, that won't work either, we can't just sit there and do nothing, right?"
Man Chong's thoughts were also those of Xu Shu and Xun Yu. Both of them frowned and thought about the solution! If they wanted to break through the defense of Weihou Mansion and meet Cao Cao without alerting the enemy, this was not something they could do.
What a weak scholar can do! But if you go to those generals who lead the army, you have to consider whether you will be trusting others. Over the years, the disputes between several young masters have caused Cao Wei to split into several factions.
Not everyone can always maintain a neutral position like Xu Shu.
"Tsk!" Xun Yu thought for a long time but couldn't think of a good way. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and said: "To carry out such a big thing, generals with foreign surnames are no longer reliable! It seems that we must find a descendant of the Cao family or a descendant of the Xiahou family.
Okay! It’s a pity that General Xiahou Yuan is still staying in Bohai, and General Cao Ren has led his troops to Nanton, and the remaining important Cao family and Xiahou family are stationed in various places!"
When Xu Shu heard what Xun Yu said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. In the final analysis, Xun Yu should lean more towards Cao Ang, because most of the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family supported Cao Ang's rise to power, and Xun Yu was naturally more inclined.
Seek their help. But Xu Shu can't do this. Now, no matter whether it is the second master's fault or not, this matter in the Weihou Mansion must be done with caution, and before Cao Cao's wishes are obtained, no one must be hurt.
The life of a young master! If the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family who have slanted purposes are called here, the lives of the second young master may be hurt in the process!
But when Xun Yu mentioned the children of the Cao family, Xu Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and a person's name flashed in his mind, and he said: "I remembered a person, he is the best person to handle this matter!
What do you two think of him?" With that said, Xu Shu read out this person's name. After hearing Xu Shu read out this person's name, Xun Yu and Man Chong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
