609 Mad Dog Ding Mi
ps: Chapter Anti-theft, will be corrected later...
After quelling the Huns' rebellion, it was not too late to take over Bingzhou's business after he failed. But he did not expect that he succeeded. He defeated tens of thousands of Huns with only ten thousand people. In the end, even the Xianbei people
He failed to curb his rise, and now Bingzhou is under Cao Liang's control. This is a father's mistake."
Sima Shidao: "This is no wonder father. When the five schools of the Northern Army were mobilized for the expedition, the whole court was ridiculed. Everyone thought that the five schools of the Northern Army, which had been abandoned for a long time, could not be reused. However, they did not expect that Cao Liang would actually lead this group of people.
If he typed it out, he would really have bad luck."
Sima Yi's expression suddenly became stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Master, when facing the enemy, you can hate him or loathe him, but you must not despise him. The reason why Cao Liang was successful in Bingzhou was not because of the so-called
His good luck was coupled with his true ability. If it were you and the fifth school of the Northern Army was handed over to you, would you be able to defeat the Huns who were ten times your size?"
Master Sima lowered his head and said with some shame: "The child can't do it."
Sima Yi didn't mean to blame him too much, and said: "Master, you don't have to be discouraged. You can't do it. Even if you were a father, you wouldn't be able to do it either. A desolate and broken division from the fifth school of the Northern Army is estimated to be everywhere.
It is impossible to find another person who dares to lead an army on an expedition. Cao Liang is indeed outstanding in running an army and fighting in battles. For this, we must all admit that this person will definitely be in the future.
He is our strong enemy. However, you don’t have to underestimate yourself. With the confidence accumulated by our Sima family for decades, he cannot be shaken by just Cao Liang."
"What father teaches is that children must obey orders." Master Sima said respectfully.
The carriage quickly drove into the Taifu Mansion. Master Sima helped Sima Yi get out of the carriage. As soon as he returned to the middle hall and sat down, Jiang Ji had already arrived.
Master Sima personally went to the door to greet him and expressed his apology specifically. After all, Master Sima had not given Jiang Ji a good look just now without knowing it.
Jiang Ji didn't care at all. He sat down opposite Sima Yi and said with a smile: "Master Sima, it's really not what you expected. Seeing how uncomfortable Cao Shuang is, I think it's funny."
Sima Yi ordered Master Sima to bring the tea and boil it, and calmly said to Jiang Ji: "After this incident, Cao Shuang will be suspicious, and it will be difficult for him to reuse Cao Liang again. However, Cao Liang has lived in Bingzhou for a long time and is also a great influence to us."
The biggest threat is to try to transfer him away."
Bingzhou is adjacent to Luoyang, and can even be said to be a knife hanging over Luoyang's head. If according to Sima Yi's previous plan, Xianbei people continue to disturb the border, Cao Liang will naturally be too busy to take care of Luoyang.
But now that Cao Liang has defeated Xianbei, there is no strong enemy in the northern border. He has tens of thousands of troops in Bingzhou, and will undoubtedly become the formidable enemy of Sima Yi's uprising.
Therefore, what Sima Yi is considering now is to eliminate this potential danger, as long as he can find a way to transfer Cao Liang away from Bingzhou, so as not to hinder his grand plan.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ji said with great interest: "I guess the master already has a plan."
Sima Yi was a scheming man, and he naturally made a plan before doing anything. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, unless Cao Liang is eliminated, it will be difficult for us to accomplish anything. But the play of hard-to-get-to-get that was staged in the court today made Cao Shuang a little afraid.
Cao Liang, but it is not enough to sway Cao Shuang's heart to reuse Cao Liang. The fire has now been lit, and all that is needed is to add more firewood."
Jiang Ji immediately said: "If the Grand Tutor has an assignment, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Sima Yi laughed loudly and said: "There is no need to go through thick and thin. All you need is a gift from Zi Tong. It's just a matter of effort."
"Who are you going to give gifts to, Taifu?"
"Deng."
"Deng?" Jiang Ji couldn't help but be a little confused. Deng was Cao Shuang's real direct descendant. The current military minister Cao Shangshu, He Yan, and Ding Mi colluded with each other and were hated by the ministers in the court. People at the time called them the "Three Dogs of Taichung", and they were scolded in secret.
What they said. But Sima Yi suddenly proposed to give Deng a gift at this moment, which really made Jiang Ji confused. He was a mortal enemy in the court. What kind of gift could this be?
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Yes, I want you to give a gift to Deng, but this gift needs to be given in the name of Cao Liang. Today in the court, you will write a letter to Cao Liang and ask him to be promoted to a higher rank. If you try to bribe Deng now, you must
He will definitely not be suspicious. Deng Wei is greedy by nature, greedy for money and lustful, so after receiving these gifts, he will definitely say something nice in front of Cao Shuang."
Saying that, Sima Yi handed a gift list to Jiang Ji. Jiang Ji took a look and said, "I'll go, it's really a valuable gift, a thousand catties of gold, ten pairs of white jade, four dendrobium pearls, a hundred pieces of Shu brocade, Sima Yi's hand"
It's really grand.
However, this was still a gift in someone else's name. Wasn't Sima Yi worried that such a heavy gift would be wasted in the end?
"Master, isn't this... playing hard to get? Deng is Cao Shuang's confidant. If Cao Shuang listens to him and appoints Cao Liang, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his troops?" Jiang Ji has not yet been able to do so.
Understand Sima Yi’s thoughts.
Sima Yi smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, although Cao Shuang has short ears, but regarding his status, he must not dare to delegate power easily, and he still needs to send someone else to Ding Mi's mansion. Of course, there is no need to give gifts this time.
As long as we send a eloquent person to convince Ding Mi, we can then advise Cao Shuang and prevent Cao Liang from entering the cabinet."
Although Deng and Ding Mi both worked at the Secretariat and could be regarded as Cao Shuang's right-hand men, they seldom interacted with each other. Their personal relationship was relatively poor. Whenever something happened, they would get angry in front of Cao Shuang. This time, Sima Yi was obviously planning to take advantage of the two.
The bad relationship between people and the plot against Cao Liang.
Upon hearing Sima Yi's plan, Jiang Ji nodded repeatedly and let Deng and Ding Mi fight in the nest. This method was really good. It was just giving Deng a gift. This was very simple. Anyway, Deng was famous for being greedy and lustful. He was not afraid of such a generous gift.
He is not moved.
However, the person who wanted to persuade Ding Mi needed a good argument. Jiang Ji asked, "Who are you going to send to persuade Ding Mi?"
Sima Yi groaned and said, "We are still considering it. Is there a suitable candidate for Zitong?"
Jiang Ji shook his head. At this time, Master Sima, who had been standing by and had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "I think of someone, I wonder if that's possible?"
"Who?" Sima Yi and Jiang Ji asked in unison.
