I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 314 The Eve of Gaopingling Mausoleum

Liu was put in Sima Yi's home.

"The distinguished guest is here, and we can't welcome him from far away." Sima Yi smiled politely.

"I've seen Taifu." Liu Fang and Sun Zida said.

"You two, please come in."

"please."

After welcoming Liu Fang and Sun Zi into the backyard and preparing wine, Sima Yi said, "I'm not feeling well and it's inconvenient for me to drink. My eldest son, Haihan, will do it for me."

Liu Fang and Sun Zi immediately stood up and said, "It's really disturbing the master."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I usually write and read at home." Sima Yi smiled and stroked his beard.

The two sat down again.

Master Sima raised his wine glass and said, "You two, please."

Although Sima Yi was talking to Liu Fang and Sun Zi from time to time, looking at their expressions, he knew that they must have something to do today.

"What I said is true."

Everyone retreated.

After a while, the dancer came up and performed dance music.

Sima Yi said: "But our great Wei army has enough soldiers and armor, and the national treasury is rich."

"Cao Shuang came to power, reversed the political order, famous people were demoted one after another, and those who wanted to follow the influence of others went on to do evil, and the country declined day by day!"

Liu Fang and Sun Zi looked at each other and were both confused by Sima Yi's words.

"please."

"This……"

"Master, please save the country of Wei!" Liu Fang suddenly became excited.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Fang said: "Master, I have something I want to say. I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

Sima Yi immediately realized what was going on and said to the others around him: "Everyone, step back."

"How do you say this, Mr. Liu?" Sima Yi pretended to be surprised.

"Don't say this nonsense." Master Sima interrupted Sun Zi.

Sima Yi said: "It doesn't matter if Mr. Liu says so."

Liu Fang said excitedly.

Now there are enough soldiers and armor, and the treasury is rich?
Sima Yi, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?
"Master, Cao Shuang has long wanted to murder you. He..."

Sun Zi immediately added: "He also arranged for his brothers to control the imperial army, blocked the way of communication, and prevented loyal ministers from seeing His Majesty. Even we were unable to see you for more than two months!"

"Taifu! For more than a year, Cao Shuang first seized your military power, excluded you from the court's political affairs, and then dismissed dozens of loyal ministers, making everyone dare to be angry and dare not speak out. Then He Yan is just a flattering little boy. Man, Deng Yang is greedy for money and lust, and does all kinds of evil!"

Sima Yi pretended to be surprised again and said quickly: "The general has the talent to help the country. I'm afraid Liu Gong's words are a bit biased!"

"If what you say is true, what do you want my father to do?"

"I hope Taifu can come forward, and all the ministers in the world will definitely support Taifu!"

Sima Yi fell silent and finally said: "You two drank too much today. Go back and rest early."

"Master..."

"see a visitor out."

Liu Fang and Sun Zi had to go back first.

After the two of them left, Master Sima said, "Father, the time has come."

"What did Jiang Zitong say?"

"I have replied to the letter and am at your disposal at any time." Jiang Zitong was Jiang Ji. After Cao Fang succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the leading general.

The leading general is from the first rank and is in charge of the imperial army.

But not long after, Cao Shuang found an excuse to sideline him and let Cao Xi serve as the leading general and control the imperial army.

At this point, Jiang Ji and Sima Yi had common interests.

Master Sima said: "It seems that Liu Fang and Sun Zi can't sit still anymore. Even they can't sit still. Cao Shuang has lost people's hearts."

"We still have to wait for an opportunity. Otherwise, if we act rashly, we will hit the stone with an egg."

"Jiang Zitong said that at the end of the year, when Cao Shuang takes His Majesty out of the city to visit the late emperor's tomb, he can take action." Master Sima said, "But someone needs to push this matter."

"Let Liu Fang and Sun Zi come. They are the elders of the three dynasties and important ministers of the Secretariat."

"Well, I'll contact them." Master Sima said.

"How is the progress of the heavy artillery?" Sima Yi suddenly asked.

"The key has been investigated." Master Sima said, "This heavy artillery uses the traction of heavy objects to generate huge elasticity. I am asking the craftsmen to try to make it."

"Okay, I can trust you to leave these things to you. As for the craftsmanship of the armor, you can get the best. If you can't get it, don't force it. If our own armor is made better and uses more iron, we can achieve the same goal. A vulgar effect.”

"I know."

Time flies so fast and it’s already December.

Sun Quan couldn't sleep recently, and he wrote letters to Lu Xun from time to time asking if he wanted to give the soldiers two meals of meat a day.

Lu Xun's reply was this: No need.

But this matter bothered Emperor Sun. He often dreamed at night that the Han army was stronger than an ox, and one Han army defeated ten Wu armies.

I also dreamed that when Li Heng arrived in Jianye, he was a hundred feet tall. He crushed the steps at the entrance of the palace with one foot, picked him up and swallowed him in one gulp.

Every time he woke up, Sun Quan shouted: Add more meat! Two meals of meat a day!

Li Heng would write letters to greet Sun Quan from time to time. He really expressed his greetings and cared about his physical and mental condition.

But between the lines, he always said that he has recently made five or six thousand collar armors, and I will show them off in front of you someday!
After writing the letter to Sun Quan, Li Heng would also write to Cao Shuang, emphasizing many times that he should kill Sima Yi directly and not to be too arrogant after taking power. The Duke of Wei was much more fierce than the Duke of Yizhou.

But every time Cao Shuang replied, he only asked about salt, and Li Heng knew that Cao Shuang did not take his words seriously.

Cao Shuang now thinks that he has an absolute advantage. He knows that Sima Yi is a wolf and still doesn't act. This is a typical arrogance.

After many unsuccessful attempts, Li Heng also gave up. After all, Cao Shuang was the general of the Wei State and could mobilize many more resources than himself, the general of Ji Han.

It’s normal not to take your own words seriously.

As long as Cao Shuang can hold off Sima Yi for a few years, and wait until he develops well in Jingzhou, he can

In addition to writing letters to Sun Quan and Cao Shuang, Li Heng would also often write letters to Zhuge Liang.

Now that winter is here again, he will urge Zhuge Liang in his letters to pay more attention to rest and not to do everything by himself.

I also hope that the Prime Minister can share the matter with Fei Yi and Yang Yi.

In the blink of an eye, by the end of the year, a free trade zone had been formed between Xiangyang and Nanyang, where a large number of merchants brought their own goods to trade.

More and more copper coins are flowing into the market.

It is said that not only Cao Wei minted money in various places, but Sun Wu also minted money like crazy.

December 15th, Luoyang, light snow.

Master Sima hurriedly walked in, but his expression remained calm: "Liu Fang has received news that His Majesty will go to Gaoping Mausoleum to worship the late emperor on December 30th. At that time, the general will go with the imperial army."

"are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Jiang Zitong also got the same information from the Forbidden Army. There can be no mistake."

Sima Yi's gentle gaze became sharp in an instant, and his whole temperament changed: "It's time to make some changes!"
