After asking someone to send the unwilling Sima Zhao away, Feng Da Sima returned to the backyard to discuss with the two ladies.
The right lady spoke first with some doubts:
"Then Sima Yi, doesn't he already know that Alang plans to block the Luoyang trade road and turn to Xuchang?"
Feng Dasima raised his thumb:
"What Mr. Xi said is very much in line with my thoughts. I was thinking of this section just now."
Seeing that Feng Da Sima agreed with her opinion, Mrs. Right was not happy, but frowned:
"But if what we think is true, did this matter spread too quickly? Our affairs with Xuchang have not officially started yet, and Sima Yi has already had countermeasures."
At this point, Madam You didn't know how to continue, "This..."
"Cao Shuang is too careless in his work, isn't he?"
Feng Da Sima found a seat, sat down, and told Mrs. Right about his wishes.
The right lady nodded and said with some disbelief:
"Cao Shuang is also the general of the pseudo-Wei after all. If he does things in such an imprudent manner, it would be a huge disgrace to his status."
"Is there some fraud involved? Or is there a hidden secret that we don't know about? Or are we overthinking it?"
I was used to Feng's foresight and the Prime Minister's way of governing the country.
Even his sister, a prostitute, can be said to be quite capable.
This gave Madam Right a certain illusion, always thinking that those in power could never be simple people.
After all, he is the general of the Han Dynasty’s sworn enemy, the Puppet Wei!
Why, the more I look at it, the more it seems like playing house.
"Even if we are overthinking this matter, is it possible that the news that came from Xuchang in the past was all false?"
Feng Da Sima shook his head, "Cao Shuang is just a playboy. His current status is probably due to his good background. It's really nothing to worry about."
There are still people in later generations who believe that Cao Shuang suppressed Sima Yi for ten years before Sima Yi overcame him, so they think Cao Shuang is still very powerful.
This is a typical example of not reading history books and only watching film and television adaptations.
Three generations of the Cao family!
Cao Cao conquers the country, Cao Pi sits on the country, and Cao Rui governs the country.
In original history, Wei was the most powerful country among the Three Kingdoms.
After three generations, the Northern Central Plains from top to bottom have basically identified with Cao Wei.
In particular, Cao Rui suppressed the Wu Kingdom in the east and blocked the Shu Kingdom in the west. Although in the later period, he had a lot of construction projects and was not considerate of the people's power.
But this also proves that the Wei State has reached its peak in his hands, and the two countries of Shu and Wu no longer pose a threat at all, so he dares to indulge himself.
It was under this circumstance that Cao Shuang took over the position of assistant government.
In that case, Cao Shuang's mere surname of Cao and his status as a clan member were enough to suppress Sima Yi to death. Did he need to deliberately suppress him?
But in ten years, just ten years, Cao Shuang was able to completely destroy the country that three generations of the Cao family had built.
Let’s not talk about the people’s support in the world, just talk about the ministers of the court, the generals of the army, and the local noble families. Most of them fell in favor of the Sima family.
Especially as a clan member, all kinds of arrogance and even bullying of the royal family are simply digging the foundation of his rule.
With Cao Shuang's start, no matter what Sima does later, there will be no pressure.
From this aspect, Cao Shuang's crimes against Cao Wei are only second to Sima's.
This shows how quickly General Cao lost his family, which is astonishing.
It's not without reason that he was scolded as a pig by his own think tank.
Not to mention this historical line, Cao Rui did not leave any good situation for Cao Shuang.
But from the current point of view, Cao Shuang's style is still the same as in the original history, so if he can hold up for five or six years, he has passed.
Feng Da Sima believed that even if not everyone in Xuchang knew the Sima family, it probably wouldn't be much different.
"If we hadn't intervened, Cao Shuang would have been unable to defeat Sima Yi."
Feng Da Sima looked strange. He wanted to laugh but couldn't. He didn't know how to express his feelings towards an opponent like General Cao.
"But even if we divide Cao Shuang and Sima Yi through business, I'm afraid it can only delay it for a while. Cao Shuang will seek his own destruction sooner or later, so we can't expect too much from him."
Feng Dasima said this and rubbed his forehead, "This person is really a fat slave who can't be helped. I only hope he can help us delay for a few more years."
(Note: Fat slave comes from what Huan Fan said: "Cao Zidan, a good man, gave birth to your brothers, calves! Fat slave! Cao Zidan, a good man, gave birth to five or six heads of flesh from Qing. Now Huan Fan follows Qing and destroys the family." Cao Zidan is Cao Zhen)
Mrs. Zuo had been standing on the other side looking at the map hanging on the wall. After hearing Feng Dasima's words, she finally turned around:
"Listen to Alang's wishes, don't you want to take Luoyang according to Sima Yi's wishes?"
Sima Yi's surrender of Luoyang was just a way to capture Luoyang, and it was also a better choice.
But relying on the big man himself, he can also easily capture Luoyang.
The only thing that needs to be considered is how to negotiate with Wu State without living up to the facts.
After all, reestablishing good relations with Wu was a national policy set by the late emperor, and it was also an alliance personally forged by the prime minister.
As the successor of the prime minister, Feng Dasima needed to give Wu Guo a reasonable reason or answer.
"Aren't you discussing this with the two gentlemen?"
Feng Dashima spread his hands.
As he said that, he looked at Mrs. Zuo who was standing, "What do you think, Mr. Xi?"
Mrs. Zuo nodded, turned her head again, and said to the map:
"Sima Yi's abandonment of Luoyang seems a bit incredible, but when I look closely, I find that it is not that simple."
"Oh?" Feng Dasima suddenly became interested, stood up and walked over, "Xijun, what do you think?"
Mrs. Zuo rolled her eyes at Feng Da Sima, "I don't have any insight, I just remembered the deduction of the staff department."
"Tell me about it." Feng Dasima asked with a very interested expression on his face as he came closer.
The staff department is full of young staff officers who are thinking about making great achievements, but there has been no major war in the past two years.
So they can only do deductions on the sand table and maps every day to quench their thirst.
As the saying goes, three bad generals are equal to Prime Minister Zhuge.
After pushing and pushing, almost every situation has been imagined by them.
General Guan proposed it at this time, and it must be a valuable idea.
At this time, Mrs. Right also came over.
She doesn't know how to lead an army in a battle, but she can still read a map.
"Here, Luoyang, is the last barrier in Guandong."
General Guan tapped the map with his long and powerful fingers, and then pressed his entire palm on the map:
"Once Luoyang is lost, there will be no more dangerous passes to defend in the land of Guandong south of the river."
The place where General Guan's palm was pressed was the area south of the Yellow River in the North China Plain in later generations.
Most of Feng Da Sima's energy in recent years has been focused on internal integration. In the past, at most he was thinking about how to capture Luoyang at the minimum cost.
I haven't thought carefully about what will happen after Luoyang is captured.
At this time, General Guan reminded him, and he suddenly reacted:
If the Han cavalry were to rush into the plains with Luoyang as the fulcrum, the scene... would be too beautiful to imagine.
The pattern suddenly opened up.
Although he knew that this was Sima Yi's intention to lure him, even with Feng's temperament, he couldn't help but take a breath.
A thin sound of swallowing sounded in my ears.
Feng Da Sima turned around and looked over, and Mrs. Right also looked over with her bright eyes.
He could even feel the right lady's hot breath on his neck.
After a long time, Feng Da Sima took a long breath and murmured:
"Sima Yi, what a big deal. He wants to divert trouble to the east..."
When the right lady heard this word, she couldn't help but nodded in approval:
"Diversion of trouble to the east? Alang's a good word. I originally thought it meant diverting trouble to the east of the Yangtze River, but diverting the trouble to the east is much more appropriate. For Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, we are indeed a trouble."
Mrs. Zuo's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Once we take Luoyang, Cao Shuang will probably feel uncomfortable. It seems that Sima Yi doesn't want to cover up for Cao Shuang anymore."
Luoyang was the old capital, but now it has been handed over to Sima Yi. Does the big man want it?
If he wanted to, facing the plains where the Han cavalry could roam freely without any obstacles, the Han would first take the easy part and then the difficult part, take the land in Shandong, and then march north across the river.
Or should we forcibly resist the huge temptation that is so close at hand, first difficult and then easy, first forcefully cross the river, storm Taihang, and capture Hebei.
And then share the land of Shandong equally with Soochow?
"Not only does he not want to cover for Cao Shuang, he simply wants to use Cao Shuang to delay himself."
Mrs. Right also noticed it at this time, took two steps forward, stretched out her finger, and pointed to the land in Hebei:
"If the big man takes the land of Shandong first, then he can have time to further win over the hearts of Hebei people, and he can even take the opportunity to take in the big families of Shandong who are escaping from the war."
What if it weren't for the three stinky generals to top Prime Minister Zhuge?
Feng Da Sima was also very interested at this time, so he stepped forward and said:
"More than that, in my opinion, if we really take the Shandong land first, then Sima Yi will be waiting for an opportunity behind the army at any time, making us afraid to use our full strength."
"But it will be different if we take Hebei first. This guy Cao Shuang might even applaud him."
Compared with Mrs. Zuo and Zuo, Feng Da Sima has a little advantage.
That is the prophetic nature of the historical context.
Although this advantage is getting smaller and smaller now, the understanding of the true face of famous historical figures still has an advantage that others do not have.
No matter how bad it is that Sima Yi farted against Luo Shui and lowered the moral bottom line of China's political struggle.
But before Luo Shui farted, who would have known that Sima Yi would be so despicable?
This at least shows that in terms of the overall situation, Sima Yi's vision is more recognized by the world than Cao Shuang.
When Mrs. Zuo heard what Feng Da Sima said, she was noncommittal:
"Actually, if we start in Hebei and then Shandong, even if Cao Shuang is willing, he may not be able to support us northward."
As she spoke, she clicked on the southeastern land that did not exist on the map:
"As long as we advance eastward, Soochow will never sit idly by and remain unmoved."
"If Cao Shuang dares to act rashly, with Lu Xun's ability, something will happen."
Mrs. Right said: "Besides, Cao Shuang has been tricked by Lu Xun once. If he loses Xiangyang, he will probably be wary and dare not make a move."
It goes without saying that Yangzhou needs to be heavily defended.
After losing Xiangyang, there were Han troops in the northwest of Nanyang and Wu troops in the south. They also needed to deploy heavy troops to defend them.
In addition, if Luoyang falls into the hands of the Han Dynasty, General Cao will really be surrounded by enemies on three sides. He can only face the sea on one side and wait for the spring flowers to bloom.
"What a good plan, what a good plan!"
Feng Da Sima couldn't help but smile.
After the three people discussed it, Feng Da Sima thought that he had figured out Sima Yi's plan.
"This old man Sima is really a ruthless person."
No wonder it laid the foundation of the Sima Jin Dynasty in history.
You can't say that he has no talent, let alone that he has no strategy.
"It's just that the means are too despicable."
Although she was from the enemy country, Madam You still looked a little unhappy, as if she was disgusted by Sima Yi:
"If this old thief really has such a plan, it would be really despicable."
Feng Da Sima glanced at Mrs. Right, smiled lightly, and said nothing.
Si Niang, you haven't seen what this old thief did after the Gaoping Ling Incident in original history. That's really disgusting.
"As for the aristocratic families, most of them are selfish. The country can ignore it for their own personal gain. It is not surprising at all to do such a thing."
Most of the soldiers of the former Han Dynasty were sons of good families who cared about family and country.
The soldiers in the army were still like this. One can imagine the social atmosphere at that time.
The ministers in the DPRK naturally have many thoughts about the world.
In the Later Han Dynasty, it was only through the powerful landlords that the world was conquered. When the powerful landlords turned into aristocratic families... they were too big to fail!
Not only cannot it fall, but it must lie on top of the country and continue to suck blood.
In addition, Emperor Liu himself continues to seek death, and he still wants to expect those people to have the country and the world in mind?
Not to add insult to injury, no, if you can suck less blood, you have a conscience.
"Then according to Alang's wishes, should we take Luoyang now?"
"Take it, why don't you take the good thing delivered to your door?"
Feng Da Sima said matter-of-factly, "If I don't take it, once this matter is leaked, I, the Da Sima, will be roasted on the stove."
Mrs. Zuo had a worried look on her face: "In my opinion, the old thief Sima, even if he gives up Luoyang, he will still put Alang on the stove to roast him!"
"After taking Luoyang, will we have to take Shandong first in the future? If so, wouldn't it be fulfilling Sima Yi's wishes?"
If Luoyang is not taken, many people in the government and the public will accuse Feng Da Sima of acting for his own selfish gain and secretly colluding with thieves.
Coupled with his current reputation, it is impossible to say that the literati of later generations were too naughty. Most of them wanted to make up a vivid story about Feng Taishi, a treacherous official who brought trouble to the Han Dynasty and the people.
But if we take Luoyang and don't first take Shandong, which is easy to take, instead of storming the dangerous pass to the north, some people will also jump out and accuse Feng of being suspected of having Tong Cao Shuang.
"I'm afraid there's more."
Madam You thought of something and reminded, "Alang, could it be that he has forgotten the big families in Bingzhou, Hedong? They are all waiting to grow cotton in Shandong."
Growing cotton in Shandong is now a carrot dangled in front of these big families.
The big man relied on this carrot to make them willingly dig into their pockets several times when his treasury was at the bottom.
If Feng Da Sima abandons Shandong and heads north - they may have to pay again - these people will definitely blame their mother.
Feng Da Sima will most likely be scolded by thousands of people.
In response to this, Feng Dasima had a relaxed expression on his face:
"What are you afraid of? When that time comes, it's not up to me to decide whether to go east and then north or north and then east."
When the two ladies heard this, they were immediately startled.
You are the Grand Sima. You are responsible for recording ministerial affairs and supervising internal and external military affairs. It is not your decision. Who decides?
"Your Majesty!" Feng Dasima said confidently, "The day when the Han Dynasty goes eastward will be the time to unify the world. It is natural for your Majesty to make a decision on such a major event!"
Being able to recover Luoyang and the entire old capital of the Han Dynasty without fighting was enough for Liu Liangxiang to brag about it in the ancestral temple.
how?
You take advantage of it, but don't you take the blame?
This is simply unreasonable!
"I will go into the palace to discuss it with His Majesty."
Feng Da Sima stood up slowly, flicked his sleeves, and walked out.
Hum hum, Sima Yi, with the mind of a villain like you, how can you understand the harmony between the emperor and his ministers of the Han Dynasty?
