I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 315 Changed opponent
"General!" Huan Fan hurriedly walked into the general's mansion.

After asking for a meeting three times, I finally met Cao Shuang today.

Before the case, Cao Shuang played with a piece of blue and white porcelain that had just been sent from Jingzhou. He carefully observed the lines on it and stroked the surface of the blue and white porcelain with his hands.

After stroking it, Cao Shuang couldn't help but smile: "This blue and white porcelain is as delicate as the beauty's skin! Hahaha!"

"Yeah! I don't know how Li Jian created such a beautiful thing!" He Yan also laughed.

"Beauty, come and have a drink."

Suddenly a servant's voice came from outside: "General, Great Sinong Huanfan is here."

He Yan immediately said to Cao Shuang: "General, you are enjoying yourself now, why do you need to see Huan Fan."

Cao Shuang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Huan Fan is a loyal minister, and he has both talent and virtue. When he comes to see me, I can't help but see him."

He Yan could only end it hastily and take all the women down.

After you leave, Sima Yi will control the capital and trick you into going back. He even swore on Luoshui that as long as you go back, he will destroy your clan.

Cao Shuang laughed and said: "Gong Huan has worried too much. Now there is peace in all directions in the Wei Dynasty, there are many forbidden troops in the capital, and the treacherous people have already fled in panic."

Cao Shuang also tidied up and waited for Huan Fan to come in.

"Stop talking nonsense!" He Yan interrupted Huan Fan again.

Huan Fan sighed and walked out of the General's Mansion dejectedly.

Li Heng obviously knew that Cao Shuang was going to pay homage to Gao Pingling, and he stated the current situation bluntly in his letter.

"It's a troubled time in the court. If the general leaves Luoyang, big trouble may happen."

"General..."

"General, people still need to be stable..."

"I'm against it."

Being interrupted by Huan Fan, He Yan was obviously not happy. He said sharply: "The general is so powerful in the world. Everyone in the court is grateful for the general's might and virtue. Why is the situation so unstable?"

"Yes, the Wei Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Your Majesty went to visit the late emperor's grave to set an example for the people of the world."

"Mr. Huan, I still have important business to deal with today. If there is anything else, we can discuss it some other time. How about that?"

"What's the matter with Duke Huan?"

"Why?"

Cao Shuang said quickly: "Don't be rude to Duke Huan!"

"General, you still have to put the country first, and you have to wait until the situation stabilizes before sweeping the grave."

He Yan stopped talking.

Huan Fan said: "I heard that the general is going to visit the late emperor's grave with your majesty?"

"Gong Huan, this is just alarmist talk!"

As soon as Huan Fan left the General's Mansion, Cao Shuang received another secret letter from Li Heng.

Cao Shuang immediately became unhappy when he saw it: Damn you! I'm giving you face to do business with you, why are you going even further! Teach me how to behave every now and then!

Early in the morning on December 30, the second year of Yanxi's reign, the Luoyang Palace was full of people.

The Forbidden Army was waiting outside the city.

After a morning of preparation, General Cao Shuang took Cao Fang out of the city and headed for Gaopingling.

The procession was very solemn, with a long cavalry guard of honor wearing iron armor and flags fluttering in the wind.

At noon, Master Sima hurriedly came to report: "Cao Shuang has crossed Yichuan."

Sima Yi tidied up his clothes and said: "If the gates of Luoyang are closed, it will be said to be the order of Empress Dowager Guo, and then troops will be stationed at Luoshui Floating Bridge. Gao Rou will be in charge of military affairs as a general, and Wang Guan will be in charge of military affairs as a lieutenant. I have already stated Cao Shuang's charges, choose Report to His Majesty on the same day."

"Here!"

Luoyang takes action.

Cao Shuang didn't know at this time.

All actions went very smoothly. When the various officials and officials learned that Sima Yi had come out, not only did they not object, but they all went to pay homage to him. With the assistance of several important ministers, Sima Yi quickly controlled the Luoyang Forbidden Army and gained the political support of almost all the ministers.

The next day, the memorial sent by Sima Yi to Cao Fang fell into Cao Shuang's hands first. After reading it, Cao Shuang was stunned.

He did not inform Cao Fang for the time being, but began to mobilize troops to build a walled city for defense in the south of Yichuan.

Cao Shuang's movements were quickly sent to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi immediately sent someone to persuade Cao Shuang and promised not to embarrass him.

The person who went to persuade Cao Shuang was Xu Yun, the servant.

"General, the Grand Tutor has no ill intentions. These are the wishes of the nobles in the court. Now all the Imperial Guards are in the hands of the Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor swore to Luo Shui that he would treat you with courtesy."

Cao Shuang was still hesitant.

"The general is a member of the clan. No matter how bold the Taifu is, he will not dare to disrespect you."

"You can go back and tell Taifu that you can let me think about it."

The second day of the first lunar month of the third year of Yanxi was the third day of the Gaoping Ling Incident.

On this day, Huan Fan forced his way out of the city and headed straight for Cao Shuang. He met Cao Shuang at noon.

"Huan Gong! You are here! You are finally here!"

"General, take your Majesty to Xudu immediately."

"how do I say this?"

"Sima Yi has taken control of the capital. With the support of the Queen Mother, he can mobilize more troops than you."

"Sima Yi has sent someone to persuade me."

Huan Fan was anxious: "The current situation has no room for compromise. Now you are taking the Emperor to Xudu. Who in the world will not listen to you?"

Cao Shuang hesitated again and again, then pulled out his sword and threw it to the ground: "Even if I surrender, I will still be a rich man!"

Huan Fan burst into tears.

Cao Shuang sighed again: "I regret not listening to Li Jian's words!"

Huan Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "Li Jian's words?"

"After you left that day, I received a letter from him, and he also reminded me!"

Huan Fan looked up to the sky and closed his eyes in the wind, letting the cold wind blow.

When Cao Shuang took Cao Fang back, Huan Fan suddenly figured it out.

Then Li Jian actually has such magical powers. Now that I have abandoned Sima Yi, why not go to Li Jian!
Just as he was told, Huan Fan led his men and rode horses and ran all the way south.

At this time, Sima Yi was in a hurry to deal with Cao Shuang, and he had no time to find out where Huan Fan was.

Five days later, when everything was stable, Sima Yi was notified: Huan Fannan had escaped!

Sima Yi said to Jiang Ji: "I'm afraid Huan Fan has gone to join Li Jian!"

"It's just a Huan Fan, so what can I do? The Tutor should straighten out the government affairs as soon as possible."

"Yes! You can't send any more money to Li Jian!" Sima Yi said.

"What about this new salt?" Jiang Ji asked with concern.

"Don't worry, there are already talented craftsmen among the people who have tried many times to refine the same new salt!"

"really?"

"It's absolutely true!" Sima Yi stroked his beard, "It's time to cut off Li Jian's financial path and block Jingzhou's business routes!"

"Also, we have also made heavy artillery." As he said this, Sima Yi's eyes fell to the south.

The news that Cao Shuang was raped soon reached Li Heng's ears.

Li Heng was so angry that he yelled: "That stupid pig! I reminded him so many times! But he was still done by Sima Yi! You are as stupid as a pig!"
