The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 884 Cao Mao: If you don't fight now, when will you wait?
In the past six months, the conflict between Sima Zhao and Cao Mao has become more and more acute. If it weren't for the tight oppression of the Shu Kingdom, the two sides would have already set up a battlefield, each pulling their own troops, and directly confronting each other.

Cao Mao's escape from Luoyang to Yecheng was beyond Sima Zhao's expectations.

According to Sima Zhao's judgment on the situation in Luoyang at that time, Cao Mao's capture or killing were both acceptable endings, but Cao Mao's escape was unacceptable to Sima Zhao.

For this reason, Sima Zhao severely reprimanded Xun Xu and others who had fled first.

Xun Xu received Sima Zhao's order and pretended to approach Cao Mao, which also meant to make atonement for his crimes.

"Gong Zeng, do you think that Cao Mao will contact Liu Jiazi's people, and then collude to overthrow my court?" Sima Zhao has a suspicious personality, and his vigilance towards Liu Feng and his killing intent towards Cao Mao are all contained in this sentence middle.

Xun Xu opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was impossible, but swallowed the words again.

From Sima Zhao's affirmative tone, he was keenly aware of the strong killing intent.

"Your Highness, strike first to be strong, and then strike later. Cao Mao does show signs of colluding with the Kingdom of Shu. Xu proposes to sell a loophole to Cao Mao, and then dispatch dead soldiers to wipe out Cao Mao's party."

Xun Xu was Sima Zhao's confidant and counselor, and married his sister Sima Yao as his wife. He had heard of the existence of Cheng Ji and this group of dead men for a long time.

Sima Zhao's face was cloudy for a while, then cleared for a while, and after a while, he finally made up his mind.

"Gongzeng, you go and call Cheng Ji, and the three of us have a good discussion. Originally, it would be better for Gonglu to participate in this matter together, but now, Gonglu is hurt because of women, so we don't care about him."

Sima Zhao, Xun Xu, and Cheng Ji conspired to kill Cao Mao. Naturally, the more private the better, the more private the better.

In Sima Zhao's Jin Palace, Xun Xu and Jia Chong were regarded as right-hand men. Jia Chong rebelled once. Although Sima Zhao treated him as before, there was a rift after all.

"Xu obeys His Highness's orders." Xun Xu replied in a low voice, his expression brightened.

Where there are people there is competition.

This time, he finally got ahead of Jia Chong and took the first place.

----

Cao Mao has been very busy recently, so busy that he didn't even have a chance to make out with Queen Bian.

Although Yecheng was the place where Cao Cao vowed to conquer the south and train the navy, but with the political and military center of Cao Wei moving southward, the left-behind officials and generals here are more mediocre, and there are very few truly talented people. few.

Even if there were some talented people, they were snatched up by Jin Wang Sima Zhao early on, and what was left to Cao Mao were some small fish and shrimps with little ability.

In order to win over talents, Cao Mao went all out, not only reciting poems and composing Fu, showing his own abilities, but also going into battle in person, training the palace servants and guards, declaring that he would train a strong army and regain the old capital Luoyang.

"Uncle Yan, hurry up and contact King Yan and King Leling, and ask them to prepare troops to serve the king. Also, you have worked hard to inquire about Sima Zhao's whereabouts. This time, I will go out in person to eliminate those who harmed Wei. Traitor, revive Chao Gang and rule the world."

In front of Wang Shen and other confidants, Cao Mao gave orders with pride.

Cao Yu, King of Yan, and Cao Mao, King of Leling, are both the clan of Cao Wei. When Cao Pi was the emperor, these clans were severely suppressed. When Cao Rui became the emperor, they were rewarded again. Although Cao Yu and others do not hold military power , but in their respective fiefs, there are no less than thousands of field slaves and servants. Although these people do not have much combat power, some of them can create momentum and be borrowed by Cao Mao.

As for the fact that Cao Pi was worried about the clan seizing the throne, Cao Mao couldn't take care of it at all now.

Only by unifying the outside world and first solving the problem of Sima Zhao's usurpation of power will they, the Cao family's children, have the opportunity to go back and deal with the internal conflicts in the Cao clan.

Wang Chen led the order and left.

When Luoyang fled, Wang Shen once abandoned Cao Mao to escape alone, which made Cao Mao very dissatisfied, but after arriving in Yecheng, Wang Chen recommended to Cao Mao Wang Rong, a descendant of the Langya Wang family. Thanks to his contribution, he was accepted by Cao Mao again.

Wang Rong, whose name is Junchong, is the youngest of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, and also one of the most accomplished. In history, he was the Jianwei General of the Jin State and participated in the battle between Jin and Wu.

After Cao Mao won Wang Rong, he couldn't help but become his confidant. He not only handed over the command of the imperial guards to Wang Rong, but also revealed his plan to kill Sima Zhao.

To Cao Mao, this was nothing.

If there is no trust, how can you make your subordinates work hard for it.

But the young emperor didn't know that he was still too young and believed too much in the greatness of human nature.

As soon as he said the plan, Wang Chen and Wang Rong immediately turned around and told Sima Zhao.

Those who know the practice are Junjie.

Among the seven sages in the bamboo grove, there are Ruan Ji who is dissatisfied with the government and lives in seclusion, Liu Ling who is dissolute and wandering, and Wang Rong who is following the power.

In the eyes of this rising star of the royal family who became famous at a young age, Cao Mao, a puppet emperor who is boastful and ecstatic, is the best stepping stone for him to win the trust of Sima Zhao.

Cao Mao strategized in the front hall, dispatched troops, and wanted to fight a big battle.

In the Bronze Sparrow Terrace of the Imperial Palace in Yecheng, Empress Bian had a worried face, she stood up and paced back and forth from time to time, and after walking a few steps, she sat down uneasy again.

Cao Mao is anxious to be in charge of the government and to take power, and the Bian family knows this mentality.

But she knows better, what is the current state of the court of Wei State?

After the change of Gaoping Mausoleum, the courtiers and generals loyal to Cao Wei were almost wiped out, and even those who still had their heart for the Cao family hid themselves and never showed their faces again.

Under such a difficult situation, Cao Mao, a nominal emperor with low prestige and no military power, wanted to risk a mutiny and tried to kill the powerful minister Sima Zhao. How could this be possible?

Empress Bian persuaded Cao Mao to be patient several times, but in return Cao Mao was indifferent to him. Cao Mao, who was twelve years old, felt that he was an adult and had a group of like-minded friends.

"Empress, you don't need to persuade. Sima Yi and his son confused the court of Wei Dynasty, resulting in the decline of national strength, the decline of talents, and repeated defeats in the war against Shu. Sima's people have betrayed their relatives and lost their hearts. If you don't fight now, when will you wait?"

"I assure the queen that what Liu Feng can do, I will also be able to do." After Cao Mao threw down such a bold statement, he ignored Bian's persuasion.

The Bian family, who was so worried, could only sigh, and complained to Guo Jian and other confidantes that Cao Mao acted too hastily, and the result might be counterproductive.

"Queen, Your Majesty is too impulsive to act. We should take precautions early. This subordinate believes that the most urgent thing is to contact the Kingdom of Shu for backup. With Princess Nanxiang and Princess Jinxiang around, it is good to leave a way out."

Guo Jian was sent by Liu Feng to Cao Mao's secret room, and he, who was well-informed, shook his head at Cao Mao's impulsive move.

If it was easy to carry out a mutiny to seize power, then anyone could become emperor. Cao Mao did this, but the result was a dead end.

　Cao Mao is about to launch a mutiny, and the climax is approaching, rushing, begging for a wave of support.
