Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 488 Zhong Yao's Underground Work

Even the Jia family felt that something was wrong with the currency situation, which shows to what extent the new currency has swept the country.

When Jia Xu heard his son talk about this, his face did not look good.

But he said: "Alas! If the economic lifeline falls into the hands of others, failure is inevitable!"

"Xing Daorong is really amazing..."

Jia Mu listened without saying anything.

It is indeed somewhat taboo to praise other military generals.

Although they are all family now, Jia Mu has always been taught by his father to keep a low profile. When he heard such risky words, he instinctively kept silent.

But today, Jia Xu seemed to have opened up.

But he said: "Xing Daorong...can win in battle and is loyal."

"That's fine, but even if they don't go to the battlefield, they can still threaten our army."

"This currency war is truly ingenious and beyond the imagination of ordinary people!"

"As long as they slightly adjust the exchange rate between the north and the south, they can easily harvest the money and food of the northern people."

“How cruel… Really cruel!”

It still sounds a bit awkward to hear the word "cruel" coming from Jia Xu's mouth.

When it comes to cruelty, who can be more vicious than him?

However, Jia Xu was not unaware of this. At this moment, he kept saying that Xing Daorong was cruel, which was actually a different way of praising him.

Jia Mu naturally knew his father's temper. Seeing that he rarely said so much, he finally asked, "Father...will this move hurt the foundation?"

Jia Xu nodded slowly: "The dynasty is about to fall, and only drastic measures can overcome it!"

"Now I want Your Majesty to use this risky strategy, which is also a desperate fight."

"It's just that we... just keep a low profile."

Jammu understood.

My father meant to let Cao Pi fend for himself.

If they can turn the situation around, then the Jia family will have made great contributions. If the same thing remains the same... they can only protect themselves.

He nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Don't worry, father, I've got it all down."

Jia Xu didn't show any expression, he just looked up at the sky, feeling a slight chill rising up in his heart involuntarily.

"Things are changing... Things are really going to change!"

...

However, Zhong Yao was also very clearly aware of the "low pressure" in Yecheng.

So many questions…

There are too many problems in the entire Yecheng.

The most direct manifestation is that, openly or covertly, people have begun to constantly question the Cao Dynasty.

For example, Wei Feng...when he saw me coming back, he kept asking about Liu Bei's situation.

...

"Mr. Yuan Chang... People in the world often say that Xing Daorong is a rare talent. How do you feel now that you have seen him?"

Wei Feng asked directly.

Of course, asking this kind of question is problematic in itself.

You are a minister of Cao Wei, why don't you go and find out about something else but the character of the enemy general!
You say this is okay?
That’s really problematic!
Zhong Yao thought that Xing Daorong was really amazing. He pointed at Wei Feng, and it seemed that Wei Feng really had some rebellious intentions.

However, as he had been told before leaving, even if he noticed that Wei Feng was uneasy, he couldn't just say that he was here undercover.

After all, this matter is extremely dangerous. Besides, people’s hearts are hidden, and you can’t figure out what Wei Feng is thinking!
Therefore, Zhong Yao just sighed: "Alas... Even if Xing Daorong has extraordinary talent, what good is it if he is not used by Your Majesty?"

"I hope that Xing Daorong is just a name, so that Your Majesty doesn't have to worry so much." "It's a pity that he escaped death in the battle of Tongguan and we were unable to kill him."

Wei Feng listened and said, "Have you ever thought about why a man as talented as Xing Daorong chose to follow Liu Bei?"

"At that time, Liu Bei only had half of Jingzhou, and Xing Daorong fought for him in many battles. Today, he owns half of the country."

"If such a talent had been assigned to Lord Cao earlier, wouldn't the world have been settled earlier?"

This…

Wei Feng's words were getting more and more excessive.

What he meant was that Xing Daorong's failure to return to the Cao family was a fate that was not in his favor...

Zhong Yao's face changed when he heard this, and he said angrily: "How can you say such heart-breaking words!"

Wei Feng's expression also changed, but he said, "Yes... I was careless in what I said."

Zhong Yao said in a serious tone, "I just pretended not to hear your remarks, but..."

"Zijing must be careful with what he says and does in the future. If someone else hears what he said, I'm afraid he has been arrested."

Wei Feng didn't dare to smile, and seeing Zhong Yao so serious, he could only nod.

However, how could Zhong Yao not see the depressed expression?

He thought that if he wanted to organize a force and lurk in Cao Wei, he might have to start with Wei Feng!

but…

It was also seen today that although Wei Feng had great ambitions, he was too impulsive in his conduct and actions.

Today, I am also a member of the Han family. If not, Wei Feng would have been in danger of death!
How to use him...

Still need to think about it...

With this in mind, Zhong Yao decided to wait a few days before looking for Wei Feng to see if there would be a chance to discuss matters with him. However, he did not expect the situation to change so quickly.

Why do you say that?
Just because the news of Cao Pi's illness spread like wildfire.

Why did Cao Cao suddenly become incompetent back then?

Isn't it that after getting sick, life becomes worse day by day, this is not acceptable?

today…

Cao Pi is like this again, isn't it a repeat of yesterday?

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary illness, but this time it looks like a complete defeat, isn't it just like Cao Cao back then?
These days... although there is no scientific term like genetic disease, there are still family diseases.

The ancients also summed up some rules through their exploration.

For example, most of the emperors of the Han Dynasty did not live beyond the age of 30. Ancient people speculated whether the Liu family was punished by heaven?

Of course, it's just a guess...and it's a guess buried in my heart.

Right now... Cao Cao and his son Cao Pi have both become seriously ill one after another, and their condition looks similar... with unbearable headaches, which inevitably leads people to such speculation.

Zhong Yao was also shocked when he heard the news!
If Cao Pi encounters problems again and the Cao family is leaderless, Liu Bei won't even have to mobilize troops. He can win without fighting and unify the world!

However... we have to make sure whether this thing is fake or not.

So after hearing the news, Zhong Yao went there in person to see what was going on with Cao Pi.

When he went to the palace, he was told that the emperor was seriously ill and would not see anyone.

Not only Zhong Yao, but all the ministers in the court were turned away at that moment.

At first glance, the situation seems extremely serious!

People were in a panic for a while, and all kinds of rumors spread.

First and foremost, the most widely spread saying is that this series of events has given Cao Pi a headache, just like Cao Cao back then!
As a result, people naturally have different hearts and minds, and they form cliques and factions. It is unknown how many people are trying to find a way out, and the country will become a mess.
