Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 812 The Oath of Zhangshui

Sima Yi sees through Cao Shuang, so he will make arrangements for his mind.Xu Yun and Li Feng went to persuade Cao Shuang to surrender, but it was just an appetizer.

Xu Yun and Su had good friends with Xia Houxuan, and naturally they also had intersections with Cao Shuang and others, and they were quite acquainted.The same is true for Li Feng. Li Feng is playing tricks on both sides of Cao Shuang and Sima Yi's struggle for power and profit, and does not express his position clearly.Although he was ridiculed by others, he was also trusted by Cao Shuang.

The two went to persuade Cao Shuang to surrender, lowered his vigilance, and caused him to fall into hesitation.Next is Sima Yi's real trump card, Colonel Yin Damu.

Yin Damu, who was Cao's family slave since he was a child, has a deep friendship with Cao Shuang, and Cao Shuang trusts him extremely.Therefore, after Cao Shuang came to power, regardless of Yin Damu's humble background, he was promoted to be a colonel in the palace and guard the palace.

Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and the others paced along the Zhangshui River with their swords in hand, looking at the Zhangshui water poured by Tangtangdong in the cold wind season, there was a special artistic conception.

"Teacher, bring Yin Damu!"

"Please!"

The tiger-headed Yin Damu walked up to Sima Yi without fear, with an attitude of letting him do whatever he wanted.

Sima Yi walked up with a smile, and said: "Lieutenant Yin is well! This time a certain and the Taiwei called you here, not for other reasons, but to persuade the general to surrender."

"The captain has lived in the center for a long time. He knows the current situation of the Wei Dynasty. It is precarious and at stake. In order to live up to the name of the first emperor Tuogu, Yi has no choice but to seize power. Therefore, today's matter is only for military power. He has no other intentions and does not harm the life of the general. .”

Yin Damu stared at Sima Yi suspiciously, but he still couldn't believe him.

Seeing this, Sima Yi faced Zhangshui and swore with his hands: "The God of Zhang is above, Yi came here today only for the military power, and he has no other intentions to help the great Wei. If the general surrenders the military power, Yi will never harm him." Life, protect his title, and raise him with wealth."

"I also invite the Taiwei to witness and write a letter to persuade the general!" Sima Yi said, cupping his hands.

Jiang Ji replied in a deep voice: "The Taifu has simple feelings, Ji is willing to write and write, and trouble Captain Yin to run around."

"Don't dare!"

When Yin Damu saw Sima Yi and Jiang Ji swearing to Zhangshui, An Neng didn't believe it, and was secretly happy for Cao Shuang.

……

"The minister returned from Liaodong in the past. The first emperor was in front of the army. He ordered His Majesty, the King of Qin and his ministers to entrust the minister with future affairs, and entrusted him with important affairs, as well as General Cao Shuang. However, General Cao Shuang betrayed Gu Ming and was defeated. Disrupting the country's codes; arbitrarily imitating internally, and authorizing externally; repeatedly destroying military affairs, resulting in the defeat of Jingzhou and Hedong; separating the two palaces, hurting flesh and blood; now the western thieves are outside, peeping at the artifacts, the world is raging, and people are in danger."

"The ministers secretly thought that Shuang had no king's heart and no ability to govern, so he specially played the Yongning Palace, and reported to the Empress Dowager to order the ministers to implement it. I hope that your majesty can stop Shuang, Xi, and train the officials and soldiers, so that you can be the first, and you will not be able to do so." Stay here and drive with a chariot. The minister is stationed on the Zhangshui pontoon bridge, observing the situation, and respecting the holy driver. I would like to hear this, and I will listen to the holy."

"Taifu Sima Yi, Taiwei Jiang Ji, Situ Gaorou, Taifu Wang Guan... worship!"

In the tent, Cao Fang looked at the memorabilia in front of her, a little at a loss, and asked: "The Grand Tutor controls Ye City, and the Empress Dowager's edict is here. I don't know how the general will punish him?"

"I~"

Cao Shuang was dizzy, faltering, unable to speak.

At this time, Cao Fang didn't know the seriousness of the matter. Seeing that the matter was none of her business, and seeing Cao Shuang's panic, she sighed and left the camp.

Zhang Dang followed Cao Fang, passed by Cao Shuang, and said: "When the life and death of the general are at stake, you need to make a quick decision, don't hesitate!"

Hearing this, Cao Shuang collapsed on the ground, with a sad face, and said, "The old thief Sima Yi is really cunning, how should we deal with it now?"

Cao Xun rushed to Cao Shuang's side, and said in panic, "Sima Yi is extremely cunning. He killed Gongsun in the north and captured Meng Da in the south. It's beyond my reach. I might as well go to him and ask him to forgive me."

Cao Xi resolutely vetoed it, saying: "Brother, this must not be the case, I am waiting for the gatekeeper to die!"

Cao Shuang thumped the ground and sighed endlessly, regretting that he had underestimated Sima Yi and let Sima Yi come back to win.

Just as Cao Shuang was sighing, Xin Chang, who joined the army, came galloping on horseback, shouting "General".

Seeing that it was Xin Chang, Cao Shuang waved and asked, "How is the current situation in the city?"

Xin Chang shook his head and said: "General, let me fight out from the city. Both inside and outside the city belong to the Taifu, and the soldiers are heavily guarded. The Taifu stationed troops on the main road of the Zhangshui floating bridge. I am afraid that we may not return to the city. Please make an appointment early, General." big plan."

Cao Shuang was downcast again, at a loss as to what to do.Deng Yang and He Yan, who always considered themselves resourceful, were also silent.

"General!"

Huan Fan rushed forward with the seal of Da Si Nong, and shouted: "Don't worry, General, Huan Fan is here!"

Cao Shuang looked at the reputation, got up quickly, and said to everyone: "Mr. Huan, you are also a think tank. Come here, we will wait for you without worry!"

As he said that, Cao Shuang made three steps in parallel, stepped forward to hold Huan Fan's hand, and asked, "Mr. Huan, what can I teach you?"

Huan Fan patted Cao Shuang's hand, handed the package wrapped with the seal to his son Huan Guang, and said, "General, the incident in Ye City has been taken care of by Sima Yi. At this moment, it is better to protect the emperor and take care of Luoyi." , order the soldiers and horses of the world to conquer Sima Yi."

"Luoyang has Xiahou Zhengxi stationed in Luoyang, and Xiahouba and Guo Huai are the generals. There should be [-] soldiers, and the food can last for two years. Moreover, it is an old capital, and it should be able to govern the affairs of the world. Wait for Li Sheng If he takes a post in Youzhou, he can also be ordered to lead Youzhou troops to the south. We will go north, Li Sheng will go south, and Sima Yi will be doomed."

Huan Fan held Cao Shuang's hand, analyzed and said to the gathered people.

"If the western thieves take advantage of the opportunity to send troops, we can negotiate peace with them and station troops in Hangu. The Emperor Han has a wife, Xiahoushi, who is the younger sister of Xiahouxuan. .Sima Yi has only a few thousand soldiers, and the orthodoxy is with me, but it will be defeated in a few months!"

Deng Yang nodded again and again, and said: "The general can follow what Huan Si Nong said, support the emperor to drive to Luoyang, and conquer Sima Yi, and we may save our lives."

Cao Shuang showed a look of hesitation, and said: "My wife and children are all in Yecheng, how can I abandon them now?"

"Hey!"

Huan Fan waved his sleeves, and said: "The catastrophe is imminent, ants are good at survival, what is a human being! Now the general supports the Son of Heaven, who dares to refuse, how can he go back to the city, throw himself into a trap, and wait to be captured?"

"General, please hurry to Luoyang." He Yan persuaded.

Huan Fan took out the seal of Da Si Nong, and said: "General, this is the seal of a certain Da Si Nong. It can be used to collect food and grass from the world. How can Sima Yi be undefeated without a seal?"

Cao Shuang held the seal of Da Si Nong, still unable to make a decision, and said: "You don't need to press too much, let me think carefully."

Huan Fan looked at the hesitant Cao Shuang with a bitter face, and said to Cao Xi, "Please quickly persuade the general to let him protect the emperor to go south to make trouble."

Like Cao Shuang, Cao Xi was also hesitant and had difficulty making up his mind.

Huan Fan looked at the three brothers who were at a loss, and he was convinced.If it wasn't for his son Huan Guang following them, Huan Fan wouldn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.I have already given a strategy, but the Cao Shuang brothers still can't make up their minds.

Just when Cao Shuang was hesitating, Xu Yun and Li Feng, who were first sent by Sima Yi, arrived.

"General!"

When Cao Shuang saw the two men coming, he stepped forward to greet them and asked, "How is the situation today?"

Xu Yun bowed to Cao Shuang, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to report to the General, the Taifu said that today's action is only for military power and has no other intentions. Please rest assured, the General, the title should be retained, and there should be no shortage."

Li Feng, who was beside him, added: "The Grand Tutor has repeatedly stated that the general controls the government, but he has no way to govern the country, and it is difficult to resist the western thieves from the east. Now he is thinking of the kindness of the former emperor, and he can't bear the danger of the Great Wei, so he has done something special. Also, please return to Yecheng as soon as possible, so that the whole family can enjoy the joy."

"This~"

Cao Shuang was even more hesitant when he heard what the two said, unable to make up his mind, he bowed his head in thought.

Huan Fan drew out his long sword and handed it to Cao Shuang, saying: "The general must not listen to other people's words, it is urgent!"

Cao Shuang was holding the seal of Da Si Nong and the hilt of his sword, facing everyone's persuasion, he remained silent.

After a while, Yin Damu came galloping. Seeing that it was Yin Damu, Cao Shuang happily asked, "But Damu? What's the matter?"

Yin Damu took out the letter written by Jiang Ji, handed it to Cao Shuang, and said: "General, the Taifu and Jiang Taiwei swear by Zhangshui that as long as the general surrenders his military power, he can return to the government as soon as possible. blame."

Cao Shuang returned the seal to Huan Fan, opened the letter, and asked, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"The Tai Tuo swears by Zhangshui, with the God of Zhang above, to explain the words. I dare not lie to the subordinates, Jiang Taiwei is present to witness." Yin Damu said truthfully.

Cao Shuang read the contents of the letter with mixed feelings.The letter said that Cao Shuang's ability was limited, and the current situation was beyond his control. They, veteran officials, had followed Emperor Wu for many years and couldn't bear to see Cao Wei's country fall into danger and fall into the hands of the Han people, so they launched a mutiny as a last resort.

As long as Cao Shuang surrenders his military power, he will be a rich man, and he will no longer run around for the military and government, and he will be worthy of Cao Rui's kindness. Otherwise, it will cause civil strife in the Wei Dynasty. Big things come first.

Seeing the affectionate words on it, Cao Shuang believed it.He is also tired. He has been in charge of the government for so many years, tossing and tossing. Every day he has a headache about the big man's intrusion, and he has to think about political affairs.If you can be a rich man and enjoy your old age, wouldn't it be nice!
Seeing Cao Shuang's expression change, Huan Fan quickly shook Cao Shuang's hand and said, "General!"

Cao Shuang sighed, threw away his long sword, and said: "I have no favor with the country. If I go to war again, if I let the western bandits invade, I will be ashamed of the country and have no face to see the late emperor. Now I don't want to raise an army, I would rather abandon it." official, but being a rich man is enough!"

Hearing this, Huan Fan's complexion changed drastically, he smiled wryly, staggered forward, and sighed loudly: "Cao Zidan prides himself on his ingenuity, and the three brothers in this life are really puppies!"

"You can still live, how can we survive!" Huan Fan cried bitterly and left.

He Yan, Deng Yang, and Xin Chang looked up to the sky and sighed, helpless.The three brothers Cao Shuang, Cao Xi, and Cao Xun cried with each other, but they didn't know how they felt.

His son Huan Guang hurriedly followed, waited on the left and right, and shouted: "Father!"

Huan Fan burst into tears, grabbed his son's hand, and said: "Sima Yi's words cannot be trusted. Even if he can pardon Cao Shuang, he will never be pardoned for Cao Shuang's confidants. We will be doomed!"

Huan Fan saw it clearly. Given the current situation, Sima Yi might really not pursue Cao Shuang's crimes, but they, as members of Cao Shuang's inner circle, could not be spared.After all, Cao Shuang has been in power for many years and has many wings and arms around him. If these things are not resolved, Cao Shuang may make a comeback.

"What should we do now?" Huan Guang asked.

Huan Fan wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said: "Guang'er, you quickly prepare dry food, ride a fast horse, and run southward. After approaching the big river, you turn westward to Hedong and seek refuge with the great man. You are the descendant of the Huan family. The emperor of Han must have reused it."

"Where's father?"

Huan Fan took the reins, pushed Huan Guang onto the horse, and said, "My father is a great minister of farming and a veteran of the three dynasties, and he cannot be humiliated. Now that he is too old, it is difficult for him to go west. Only by running fast can Guang'er have a chance."

"Father~"
