Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 481 Cao Pi’s civil strife?
When Bao Long saw that Xing Daorong didn't say anything, he obviously agreed with his attitude, so he immediately became more active in persuading him.

But he said: "General, what we said is not without purpose."

"Look... in the current situation, one of the people in Cao Pi wants to leave, and the other... I think someone wants to rebel."

What Bao Long said might actually be on to something.

When Cao Cao proclaimed himself king, wasn't there a rebellion against him?

The reason why Cao Cao destroyed the Liangzhou warlords but failed to advance into Hanzhong was because Jin Yi, Geng Ji, Wei Huang and others had rebelled.

Although it was pacified, it also shows that the Cao family has never been a united front.

Speaking of the rebellion against the Cao family, Xing Daorong immediately thought of a less famous person.

Who?
It’s Wei Feng!

In the original history, at the same time when Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, a large-scale rebellion led by Wei Feng and others broke out in the capital Ye County.

At that time, Wei Feng took advantage of the fact that Cao Cao was on a campaign and had not yet returned, secretly gathered righteous men, and conspired with Changle Weiwei Chen Yi and others to attack Yecheng.

That's directly copying my hometown!
From this point of view, Wei Feng is also a ruthless person.

However, in the original history, Wei Feng naturally did not succeed.

Before any action was taken, Chen Yi, out of fear, told the Crown Prince Cao Pi about the incident, who then executed Wei Feng and dozens of others.

After Wei Feng's death, Zhong Yao was dismissed and Lieutenant Yang Jun was demoted.

The reason why Zhong Yao was implicated was because it was Zhong Yao who recommended Wei Feng in the first place.

When Xing Daorong thought about this, he actually had an idea.

History has long since changed, and I don’t know what happened to Wei Feng…

Think about it...if that guy is not in any condition right now, maybe he can be of some use.

He immediately said to Bao Long: "Old Bao, what you said makes sense."

"But we can't do this. We have to ask the old officials of the Cao family to do it."

When Bao Long heard this, he was immediately happy.

Although he had reconciled with Zhang Liao, he still felt that those surrendered generals did not do any work. When he heard that Xing Daorong was going to give them something to do, he felt much more comfortable.

...

Xing Daorong has always been a person who does what he thinks.

He then went to find Zhong Yao and asked about Wei Feng's situation.

Zhong Yao naturally knew about Wei Feng's situation. Although he didn't know why Xing Daorong asked about it, it was obviously useful that he came to ask about it in such a special way.

He first introduced the person's situation.

But he said: "Wei Feng is from Jiyin, he is quite intelligent and eloquent."

"At that time, it was because of my recommendation that he was appointed as a clerk in the Western Division."

The so-called Xicaoyuan is the title of a civil servant.

The earliest system was during the Han Dynasty, when the prime minister and the grand marshal had officials in different departments to handle affairs, including the Western Department.

The chief clerk was called a clerk, and the deputy clerk was called a clerk. Initially, he was in charge of the reports of all officials, but later he was changed to be used by the officials in the main government.

Generally speaking, it means being an appendage of an important official.

In this way, Zhong Yao was not only the mentor who recommended Wei Feng, but also his "old leader" and must have known Wei Feng very well.

but…

Xing Daorong had to think carefully about how to start the conversation.

It is impossible to tell Zhong Yao directly that Wei Feng has the intention of rebellion and that he wants to use him to cooperate in the rebellion.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zhong Yao ask, "General, why did you suddenly think of him?"

Xing Daorong thought about it and thought it would be inappropriate to just say that he wanted to use Wei Feng to rebel against Cao Pi. This statement would easily lead to accidents.

And to be honest, I can't support Wei Feng. If he agrees and I can't help him, I will be letting him down.

Xing Daorong thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Wei Feng is very interested in the Han Dynasty, so I asked this question."

Xing Daorong's words were quite clever.

My heart is towards the Han people... It can be said that it is for the Han people before, or it can be said that it is for the Han people now.

And if it is for the sake of the current Han...

Doesn't that mean you are loyal to Liu Bei?
Zhong Yao was somewhat surprised...

It's not that I was surprised that Xing Daorong meant to poach Wei Feng's girl, but I was surprised that Xing Daorong seemed to be really omniscient and omnipotent!
Not only does he know Wei Feng, he even knows Wei Feng's temperament!

After all, Wei Feng is not a very famous figure. It is not easy for Xing Daorong to know Wei Feng, let alone know what he is thinking.

"Wei Feng once said that if the Cao family did not fight for the throne, heaven and earth would not tolerate it!"

"I told him not to spread the news outside. He must have known that the mouth can bring disaster, so he would not say such words outside."

"Then how did Xing Daorong know?"

Zhong Yao was filled with confusion.

He has never been an impetuous person, but Xing Daorong's words of news are really scary!
He was so sure about what he said that Zhong Yao immediately thought that Xing Daorong was in Yecheng and had other sources of information.

I couldn't help but ask, "General, where did you get this information?"

Xing Daorong couldn't say that he read it from history books, so he could only say casually: "How did you know this? Don't ask, Lord Yuan Chang."

"Let's talk about this, is my news accurate or not?"

When Zhong Yao heard that Xing Daorong was unwilling to explain clearly, he became even more certain of his guess.

Just looking at it this way, the Cao family is really doomed!
It’s not that the existence of an insider in Yecheng would lead to the destruction of the Cao family, but the insider seemed to be too powerful.

Other news would be fine, even the news that Wei Feng is pro-Han could be found out, but I wonder what other news there is... How could Xing Daorong not know it!

Cao Pi is surrounded by rebellious people, how can he not be doomed?

Thinking about this, Zhong Yao's expression couldn't help but change several times.

How could such a change in expression escape Xing Daorong's eyes?

But his expression changed, and he asked in surprise: "Why, is this matter hard to talk about?"

Zhong Yao smiled bitterly and said, "What the general said is not difficult to say."

"It's just that not many people know about this matter. It's really strange that the general knows about it."

After saying what he really thought, Zhong Yao continued, "Yes, Wei Feng did tell me that the Cao family is cruel and inhumane and cannot be the ruler of the world."

"But...he was originally an official in my palace. Now that I have been captured in Tongguan, I am afraid that I have already influenced him."

"If the general wants to use him, I'm afraid it won't work."

Xing Daorong understood as soon as he heard it. Zhong Yao's words... more or less meant to protect Wei Feng.

This is understandable.

Seeing that he was thinking about him, it was obvious that he wanted to use him, but Wei Feng did not have many followers. If he really caused chaos, ordinary people would just think that he had lost his life in vain.

but…

Originally, Wei Feng's plan failed because he acted too hastily and was not careful enough. If he had taken his time and had been forced by external forces, perhaps things would not have turned out this way.

only…

It does take some thought to figure out how to contact people without cheating them.
