ps: chapter anti-theft, correct it later………

It was so late to come to see Cao Liang, but I didn't expect to bump into this scene.

In fact, Huan Fan's current position is a Grand Secretary. He has long since left the Bingzhou military system. However, since he had always served as Cao Liang's chief aide, no one questioned his identity at all. In the army, he was probably the only one who could freely enter and exit Cao Liang's tent.

Although Cao Liang withdrew from Luoyang, it does not mean that he did not leave any eyewitness in Luoyang. Sima Yi's killing of Cao Shuang's party was on the surface and could be seen by anyone. The detailed work left in Luoyang immediately collected all the detailed information and passed the message out as soon as possible.

After Huan Fan received the news, he felt a chill on his back. Sima Yi was indeed cruel and ruthless. In just a few days, Sima Yi brazenly attacked Cao Shuang. Thousands of people were all slaughtered. If Cao Liang hadn't helped him to rescue him at the right time, I was afraid that his whole family would have already sprinkled blood on the streets of Luoyang.

Although Huan Fan was mentally prepared for this in advance, he also advised Cao Shuang not to surrender easily. With Sima Yi's plan, he would never be a free and easy wealthy man.

But when he actually heard Sima Yi killing, Huan Fan still took a breath of cold air. Sima Yi was more ruthless, cruel than Huan Fan imagined, and his methods were more outrageous.

Of course, Cao Liang needs to be notified as soon as possible.

After hearing this news, Cao Liang was not surprised at all, because he knew that Sima Yi did this in history, acted decisively and decisively. Sima Yi was not ruthless in dealing with political enemies. He could only say that Cao Shuang's death was his own fault and he could not blame others.

It’s a pity that those who follow Cao Shuang, except for the evil elements like Taichung Sangou, actually many of them are competing for the situation and blindly following them. Even if they are at fault, they will not die. However, under Sima Yi’s iron fist, these people followed Cao Shuang in a confused manner and died unjustly.

This is the price of standing in the wrong team. When Cao Shuang was in power, the Cao Mansion was crowded with traffic. In order to see Cao Shuang, many officials spent a lot of money and had to queue up in front of the Cao Mansion. But in the end, many people had the opportunity to behead their heads. Thinking about it, looking at it now, it was a great irony.

Cao Liang had long seen Cao Shuang's character clearly, so he retreated. He drew a clear line with Cao Shuang and carried the banner of fighting against Sima Yi alone.

Huan Fan exclaimed his fantasy about Cao Shuang and took great risks to break out of the city, trying to save the defeat, but Cao Shuang was unable to support the mud in the end. Huan Fan not only failed to persuade Cao Shuang, but almost threw himself in.

At the critical moment, Cao Liang extended a helping hand to save Huan Fan. This made Huan Fan cry out and secretly swore that he would follow Cao Liang with a firm heart from now on, and he would not refuse.

When Cao Liang went to Bingzhou, he specially recruited Huan Fan as his chief aide. In fact, Huan Fan still had a great resistance. You should know that Huan Fan, who had been the governor of Qingxu and was expected to be appointed as the governor of Jizhou, crushed Cao Liang in terms of qualifications and qualifications. He was naturally unwilling to let him be Cao Liang's deputy.

With Huan Fan's temper, he might have refused to seek refuge while he was sick, but in the end he came to Bingzhou and fought side by side with Cao Liang, completing the feat of quelling the rebellion and recovering lost territory.

The main reason why Huan Fan responded to his order was his curiosity. After the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Liang not only became promoted quickly, but his reputation also increased. Huan Fan took the initiative to get close to him with the attitude of wanting to see if Cao Liang deserved his reputation or was worthy of his reputation.

But I'm afraid even Huan Fan did not expect that his thoughts would drag him back from the brink of death. Combined with his previous performance in Bingzhou, Huan Fan was convinced by Cao Liang and was willing to follow him to the death.

Cao Liang carefully read the information carefully, and then asked Huan Fan: "The situation is like this now, I wonder what sir thinks?"

Huan Fan did not hide his own privately and said directly: "I think that now that Sima Yi has solved his confidant's worries, he will definitely send troops to the scene. There is no danger to defend Hanoi. The Sima family's army is afraid of our army's combat power, so he stayed in a row. If Sima Yi increases troops to Hanoi again, it will be within ten days to cross the river. The general should make plans early and return to Bingzhou."

Cao Liang naturally knew the situation he was facing. Although the Bingzhou army went south and controlled the Hanoi County, this was definitely temporary. Sima Yi would definitely not sit idly by and watch Cao Liang stare at the north bank of the Yellow River. After taking over Cao Shuang and solving his worries, Sima Yi would concentrate his troops across the river and head north. The special geographical location of Hanoi determines that it is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Giving up Hanoi to return to Bingzhou was already in Cao Liang's plan.

Cao Liang did not immediately agree with Huan Fan's words, but said: "Many people don't think so. They think there is a danger of the Yellow River in the south of Hanoi County, and the north is back to Shangdang, and they advance and retreat at will, so they are asking me to fight, wanting to defend Hanoi to the death and fight the enemy."

Huan Fan shook his head and said, "No, although there is the Yellow River south of Hanoi, the defense line is so long that it is difficult to divide the troops to defend the entire section of the Yellow River. Once the Yellow River defense line is broken, there must be no danger to defend. It is better to withdraw back to Shangdang as soon as possible. Sima Yi dare not infringe lightly. The generals are unwilling to evacuate easily, but they think that since we have Hanoi, we give up before taking on the battle, and are unwilling to let go, and have a plan to resolve the knots of the generals."

Cao Liang was excited and said, "I hope to hear the details."

Huan Fan smiled slightly and said, "Since the general has forced the Sima clan to move into Bingzhou, why not just make it bigger and move all the people of the counties in Hanoi to Bingzhou. On the one hand, it can increase the household registration of Bingzhou, solve the problem of deserted fields, increase taxes, and enrich the source of troops. On the other hand, it can weaken the Sima family's power, why not do it?"

When Cao Liang heard this, he immediately saw that when he settled the Sima clan, he did not use the method of killing, but moved his crowd to Bingzhou as much as possible to enrich the population of Bingzhou.

For a long time, Bingzhou has a vast land with sparse population, and many of its land is deserted. The population is the basis of soldiers and civilians. Without people, there will be no taxes and no source of troops. Cao Liang wanted to compete with the Sima family in a state, and the population was a shortcoming. If it was true that moving the people of Hanoi into Bingzhou as Huan Fan said, it would undoubtedly be the best strategy.
