ps: Chapter Anti-theft, will be corrected later...

After all, Cao Liang himself didn't know when Sima Yi would attack. History had already changed beyond recognition. Cao Liang's knowledge of many things in the past no longer had any effect.

But Cao Liang knew that after the Sima family launched a coup, Xiahou Xuan, the governor of Yongliang, instead of raising troops to serve the king, honestly followed Sima Yi's instructions, dismissed the general who conquered the west as the governor of Yongliang, and returned to Luoyang.

A few years later, he was killed by Sima Shi.

Doesn't Xia Houxuan know the consequences of his return to Luoyang? His cousin Cao Shuang had already been killed by Sima Yi. As a direct descendant of Cao Shuang, is there another way for him to return to Luoyang?

But Xia Houxuan had to make such a choice. In Yongliang, although he was the governor and seemed to have unlimited glory, in fact he could not mobilize even a single soldier. After the Luoyang Incident, even if he wanted to serve the king

, but without an army that obeys his orders, everything is in vain.

Otherwise, he would imitate his uncle Xiahou Ba and rebel and flee to Shu. However, the pride in his bones did not allow him to do so. He could only return to Luoyang with the determination to die, but Sima Yi was merciful and did not harm him.

He, it is a pity that after Sima Yi died, the ungrateful Sima Master finally killed Sima Master.

The crime charged against Xiahou Xuan at that time was conspiracy. In fact, this crime was ridiculous enough. Xiahou Xuan did not rebel when he was the governor of Yongliang and a high official in Xinjiang. How could he try to rebel in the powerless Luoyang?

If you want to impose a crime, there is no reason to hesitate. Master Sima wants to put his former uncle to death, and no one can stop him.

The two sat down and chatted for a long time. It was not until the time of lighting the lamp that Xia Houxuan realized that his mother had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, so he quickly got up and left.

Cao Liang went out to see him off and asked, "Brother Taichu is returning to Beijing to report on his duties. When will he return to Chang'an?"

Xia Houxuan seemed a little uninterested and said: "About after the new year. Anyway, over there in Yongliang, one more of me is not more, and one less of me is not less."

Cao Liang said nothing more and said goodbye to Xia Houxuan.

In fact, Xia Houxuan is a very tragic figure. He is one of the few young men in Cao Shuang's group. He is talented and ambitious. He had the opportunity to rise to the top. However, due to the fall of Cao Shuang, all Xia Houxuan's dreams were shattered into nothing.

Being implicated by Cao Shuang, he lost all his power and finally sat there waiting for death and died in the hands of Sima Shi.

It can be seen from this that those who follow Cao Shuang will only die in the end. It is also a wise move for Cao Liang to draw a clear line between Cao Shuang and Cao Shuang at this moment.

Of course, even if Cao Shuang is not involved, given the relationship between Cao Liang and the Sima family, if the rebellion of the Sima family really succeeds, the first person Sima Shi wants to kill will definitely be himself, and he will never be able to escape.

Therefore, in this storm, Cao Liang cannot retreat if he wants to. Cao Shuang has no hope. Cao Liang can only find a way to compete with the Sima family.

Time flies by, and soon the end of the year is coming, and the calendar of the sixth year of the first year is about to turn. As soon as the New Year is over, it will be the seventh year of the first year.

Cao Liang claimed to be ill and did not attend Cao Shuang's banquet. So in the following days, he simply claimed to be ill and did not go to court. Anyway, the title of General of the Auxiliary State was just a false title, in name only. As for the position of regular attendant of Sanqi, he was now in the imperial court.

There are at least five or six people with this title. Even the emperor is a puppet, and the ministers around him can't do much, so it has become a false title in name only.

Not going to court does not mean that Cao Liang has done nothing. Although he stayed in Gaolinghou Mansion without leaving home, Cao Liang secretly planned the arrangements because the annual ritual of worshiping the late emperor would be another

It's about to begin.

This couldn't help but make Cao Liang nervous. Historically, Sima Yi seized power because of the Gaopingling incident. Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Shuang to accompany the emperor Cao Fang to Gaopingling to pay homage to the late emperor. He suddenly launched an attack and completely eliminated Cao Shuang in one fell swoop.

All the forces of this line, and from then on the power of Cao Wei fell into the hands of the Sima family.

The storm is about to come, and Cao Liang has smelled something special. However, judging from the current situation, worshiping Gao Pingling this time will not be a good opportunity for the Sima family to launch a coup, because as the auxiliary government

Minister Sima Yi did not completely withdraw from the government. Among the ministers who went out of the city to pay homage this time, Sima Yi was prominently in office.

Nowadays, all major affairs of the imperial court have been decided by Cao Shuang. Sima Yi's title of Taifu is more of a false title and has no influence on the imperial court.

Of course Cao Shuang is happy to see this happen. Since he became the general and assistant minister, his only competitor is Sima Yi. Now seeing Sima Yi's waning appearance, Cao Shuang has already relaxed his vigilance. Sima Yi is about to die, so why should he?

To take precautions.

The fact is that Cao Shuang was completely plotted by Sima Yi. After a bloody storm, Cao Shuang went to the guillotine, and Sima Yi, who was already over seventy years old, had a lifeline that severely suppressed Cao Shuang.

.

Of course Cao Liang would not be careless. Even if Sima Yi traveled with him, Cao Liang did not give up preparations. Only geniuses know what Sima Yi was thinking in his heart at this moment. If the Sima family really wanted to seek power and seize the throne, then Cao Liang must

Just think of good countermeasures.

The so-called Gaopingling Incident also happened to coincide with Cao Shuang's opportunity to leave the city, so Sima Yi would use a one-hit kill stunt. But there are three hundred and sixty days in a year, and genius knows that this time is not an opportunity for the Sima family, so Cao Shuang

Can you think that as long as the opportunity is right, this coup will legitimately become the step for the rise of the Sima family.

So Cao Liang secretly mobilized the team of servants from the farm to enter Luoyang City and placed them all in the Gaolinghou Mansion. The weapons they used, the crossbows, were also quietly transported in by Cao Liang through other means.

Today's Luoyang City is no longer as tightly guarded as when Cao Pi ascended the throne. As long as Cao Liang is willing, any hidden weapons can be escorted into the city by secret means.

Of course, the most important reason is the number of people in the Cao family. In Luoyang, where there are many wealthy families, if you go out with one or two hundred servants, you will not bother to say hello to others.

When Cao Liang organized such a team, he first sought self-protection. The powerful lethality of the Lian Nu could play a great role in street fighting. Even if it was to guard the Gaoling Hou Mansion, it was more than enough.
