"At that time, I was not intimidated by those dog slaves, I just broke into the inner courtyard!" Cao Zhen clenched his fist vigorously and continued: "But before I could find the master, I met the second master first.
With Sima Yi! The second young master holds the lord's token and forbids me to move forward! I have actually seen the second young master's plan, but the second young master promises me that he will never hurt the lord, let alone the eldest young master and several other young masters.
In order to prevent the Second Young Master from risking his life, I had no choice but to agree to the Second Young Master’s conditions. In the past few days, I have handed over all the command of the imperial army to Sima Yi, and I have stayed in the house in isolation as promised.
Can’t get out!”
After listening to Cao Zhen's narration, Xu Shu frowned. He was now certain that Cao Pi and Sima Yi were responsible for this matter! Moreover, the severity of the matter had exceeded Xu Shu's expectation. Unexpectedly, even the Imperial Army had completely
If it falls into the hands of Sima Yi, wouldn't it mean that the entire Dongjun has become the possession of Cao Pi and Sima Yi?
No! A bright light flashed in Xu Shu's mind. If this was really the case, why would Cao Pi and Sima Yi be so sneaky? Unless these two people had any scruples! Thinking of this, Xu Shu suddenly felt a glimmer of hope and began to think carefully.
From a clear point of view, the imperial army in Dongjun City is under the jurisdiction of Cao Zhen, while the four-sided city code in Dongjun City is under the jurisdiction of the third son, Cao Zhang! As for the garrison in Dongjun City, it is nominally directly under Cao Cao himself, but according to Xun
According to the family's intelligence, the generals in charge of each team have now all been replaced by Cao Pi's cronies!
After such an analysis, Xu Shu's heart suddenly brightened up! Now that the defenders are under Cao Pi, and the command of the imperial army has been given to Sima Yi, the only remaining ones are the city defenders in Cao Zhang's hands! Previously, Xu Shu and others saw
Later, Cao Zhang and Cao Pi were both in the same group, so they never thought about Cao Zhang's problem. But now it seems that only the city defenders in Cao Zhang's hands can make Cao Pi and Sima Yi so afraid!
Could it be? What happened between Cao Zhang and Cao Pi? Thinking that even Cao Zhang was recruited into the Weihou Mansion and failed to come out, Xu Shu felt more and more funny about this possibility! Immediately, Xu Shu rolled his eyes.
He said to Cao Zhen: "General! Although the command of the Forbidden Army is now given to Sima Yi, I believe that the General still has the ability to command the Forbidden Army, right?"
"Uh!" Hearing Xu Shu's question, Cao Zhen couldn't help but be startled, then hesitated, and finally nodded and said: "I am in charge of the Forbidden Army under the order of the lord, and there are several caring subordinates in the Forbidden Army! If it is confirmed that the lord is indeed
If there is danger, I believe that my subordinates will obey my orders! But we can only mobilize 30% of the forbidden army at most. With just this number of troops, there is no way to forcefully invade the Weihou Mansion!"
Xu Shu gave a high-five and said with a smile: "That's good! As long as these 30% of the forbidden army are enough! The remaining is not enough, I have a way!" As he said this, Xu Shu's eyes flashed, and he was confident!
The next day, at the gate of Weihou Mansion, it was still the same as yesterday. The sergeants were standing all over the gate of the house, blocking the entire door tightly. The streets on both sides of the gate of Weihou Mansion were deserted, and even pedestrians had to pay special attention.
Avoid this place to avoid getting into trouble.
But just after Mao hour, on the originally empty street, there suddenly appeared an extra person, wearing a civil official's attire, long sleeves rippling, striding towards the Weihou Mansion, but it was Cao Wei's number one
Think tank Xu Shu! When they arrived at the gate of Wei Hou Mansion, the sergeants waved their single swords and stopped Xu Shu just like yesterday. A bearded sergeant shouted loudly: "By the order of the eldest son! While the lord is seriously ill, no one is allowed to do anything.
Entering and exiting Weihou Mansion!"
Xu Shu smiled slightly, but turned a blind eye to the sharp blades pointed at his nose, and said with a smile: "Please come into the house to ask for instructions. Xu Shu came here this time because he has something important to ask to see the eldest son! This brother can go in first.
After asking for permission, maybe the eldest son would like to see Xu Shu?"
"This..." Hearing Xu Shu's words, the bearded sergeant hesitated. After all, Xu Shu was an important minister of Cao Wei, and he did not dare to be too rude to his sergeants. Moreover, asking for permission did not necessarily force Xu Shu to enter the mansion.
For them, it is the safest method. After thinking about it, the bearded sergeant nodded and said to Xu Shu: "Master Xu, please wait for a moment again! I will go into the mansion to ask the eldest son for instructions!"
When the sergeant turned around and entered the house, Xu Shu was not in a hurry. He just stood there with his head held high and a smile on his face. After a long time, the bearded sergeant came out of the house again and faced his companions.
They made a gesture, and all the sergeants immediately put away their weapons, while the bearded sergeant walked directly in front of Xu Shu, clasped his fists and saluted Xu Shu, and shouted: "Master Xu! The eldest son invites Master Xu to come into the house for a detailed discussion.
!”
"Okay!" Xu Shu seemed to have long ago determined that the other party would agree to his request. There was no trace of surprise on his face. Under the leadership of the bearded sergeant, Xu Shu walked into the mansion.
Xu Shu was familiar with the Wei Hou Mansion, but he still followed the bearded sergeant obediently and quickly came to the outside of the meeting hall. When he arrived outside the meeting hall, the bearded sergeant had no intention of going in.
He turned around and made an invitation gesture to Xu Shu. Xu Shu smiled slightly, but did not refuse. Instead, he raised his feet and entered the meeting hall. After Xu Shu just entered the meeting hall, the bearded sergeant immediately
The hall door closed with a bang!
Although the door was tightly closed, Xu Shu did not panic because of this. Instead, he looked at the situation in the room with a calm face. At this moment, there was already a person sitting in the room, looking at Xu Shu with a smile. This person
It was none other than Sima Yi, the wise man who was as resourceful as Xu Shu!
Seeing Sima Yi appear here, Xu Shu also smiled back and found a seat to sit down calmly. Sima Yi kept watching Xu Shu's movements. After Xu Shu sat down, Sima Yi laughed a few times and said: "As expected.
It’s Brother Yuan Zhi! I know that if anyone can see through this situation, it must be Brother Yuan Zhi!”
Xu Shu also smiled and said: "Brother Zhongda is too praised! How can I compare to Brother Zhongda? Unknowingly, he has set up such a big trap! I really admire Brother Zhongda's ability!"
What puzzles me is that now that the Western Qin army is about to press the border, why would Brother Zhongda choose such an inopportune time to take action? Even if Brother Zhongda succeeds, it will only severely damage Cao Wei's vitality. How can he resist it?
Can it withstand the attack of the Western Qin Lion?"
Xu Shu's words only made Sima Yi smile faintly, but he did not mean to answer directly. Instead, he said slowly and leisurely: "The matter has come to this, but I don't know how Brother Yuanzhi is going to break this situation now? Now the city defenders of Dongjun City,
The defenders and the imperial army are all under the control of the second young master, and the Weihou Mansion is also completely controlled by the second young master! Brother Yuanzhi is a smart man. If you want to reach this point, how should you make choices?"
Xu Shu nodded silently, then shook his head and sighed: "Brother Zhongda still refuses to tell the truth? If all the three armies are controlled by the second young master, how can brother Zhongda still not dare to tell the truth?
To support the second young master to rise to power in an open and honest manner?"
Sima Yi's expression changed, but he quickly nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Zhi is really amazing! He was able to see through the flaw of the city defenders! Come to think of it, the city defenders should have surrounded the Weihou Mansion by now, right?
"
"Actually, it's not difficult to see through this!" Xu Shu shook his head and said, "It's just that we were all fooled by Brother Zhongda at the beginning and entered a blind spot, thinking that since the Third Young Master is the same as the Second Young Master and his mother, we want to come here
He should be firmly on the side of the second young master! But although the third young master intends to support the second young master, he also has his own bottom line! The second young master does such a rebellious and unethical thing, how can the upright third young master blindly follow him? So from now on.
From the beginning, Brother Zhongda suggested to the Second Young Master that the Third Young Master should be placed under house arrest. Without the Third Young Master’s command, the city defenders would naturally not dare to act without permission. However, in order to cover up others’ deception, Brother Zhongda would use the guise of the Lord’s name.
Name, recruit all the other young masters into the house, and put them under house arrest together!"
In response to Xu Shu's speculation, Sima Yi nodded repeatedly, stroking his hands and smiling: "Brother Yuan Zhi is right! That's exactly what it is! Although the Third Young Master is under house arrest and the city's defenders are leaderless, if anyone notices this, he can use the name of the Third Young Master to
Summoning the city defenders should still be successful! That’s why I suggested to the Second Young Master to do a trick so that no one will think that the city defenders are a huge shortcoming!"
Both of them are the top wise men in the world. With every word they said to each other, they explained each other's plans clearly. After speaking, the two of them stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed.
Get up. Xu Shu laughed and shook his head and sighed: "Brother Zhongda! Since you are so talented, you will surely be reused by your lord sooner or later, so why do you need to take such a dangerous move?"
"Hahahaha!" Sima Yi's laughter became louder and louder, and finally said: "Brother Yuanzhi! You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish? It is true that although the lord has been quite dissatisfied with me recently, with my talents,
I will definitely be used by my lord again! But so what? No matter how hard I try, I am destined to be inferior to you in the future! I ask myself that I am not inferior to you in talent, why should I be on your left? And now, I help the second young master win
The position of Marquis of Wei, thanks to the power of the dragon, I will definitely be the leader under the two young masters in the future! Wouldn’t it be better than it is a thousand times better than it is now? Brother Yuanzhi! Although we don’t get along very well, I know your character well.
If I ask you to surrender, it will only be an insult to you! Brother Yuan Zhi, please rest assured! When the matter is accomplished, I will ensure the safety of Brother Yuan Zhi's family!"
