Chapter 872
Cao Liang did not doubt the cruelty of Sima Yi's methods at all. When Sima Yi was lenient in treating political enemies, Cao Shuang and his family had not dried up, and Wang Ling followed him.
Perhaps Cao Liang's name is also listed on Sima Yi's blacklist?
Because of the Huainan rebellion, the Battle of Shangdang was only halfway through, and Sima Yi had to return in vain. After quelling the rebellion of Huainan, Sima Yi would probably point the attack's spearhead again at Bingzhou. Bingzhou, which had been relatively calm for two years, would fall into a continuous war.
Cao Liang had never been afraid of war, and he could never avoid this war with the Sima family. Cao Liang had already been ready for this and was fully prepared.
But war means disaster and death. The newly emerging Bingzhou economy may suffer a fatal blow, people's livelihoods will wither, people will be displaced, no rooster crowing thousands of miles away, and white bones will be exposed in the wild.
Cao Liang had a deep understanding of this, but he could not choose. Since war must be imposed on the people of Bingzhou, all he could do was lead the military and civilians of Bingzhou to fight to defend his homeland!
In the past two years, Cao Liang has focused on the economy and military, both hands must be strong and neither hands will be relaxed.
The regime is out of the gun. If you want to fight against the Sima family, a strong army is the minimum guarantee. Compared with two years ago, the number and combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army have been greatly enhanced, so Cao Liang still has sufficient confidence in Sima Yi's re-invasion this time.
When Sima Yi was far away in Huainan, Cao Liang didn't have to worry about anything. He could develop the economy and arm the army according to his own ideas. However, when Sima Yi returned to Luoyang, the situation suddenly became serious.
Sima Yi is often famous for his use of troops as he is elusive and cannot be judged by common sense. When he went to Huainan last year, the wind and snow were mixed, and the road was difficult to move. Everyone thought that Sima Yi would not choose to send troops at this time, but on the contrary, Sima Yi not only advanced in the snow, but also caught Wang Ling off guard in the Great Wall, which also kept the situation in Huainan firmly in his hands.
After Sima Yi returned to Luoyang this time, the weather gradually became colder. Some people think that Sima Yi's march may not necessarily be in winter, but may be in next spring.
But Cao Liang did not think so. With Sima Yi's urinary nature, it is possible to advance at any time. Therefore, the Bingzhou Army must be prepared and must not give Sima Yi any opportunity to take advantage of.
Therefore, Cao Liang issued a first-level combat readiness order to the Bingzhou army stationed in various places to prevent Sima Yi's attack at all times.
At the same time, the Luoyang intelligence system was launched to widely collect all information about Sima's family and report it to Bingzhou as soon as possible.
The intelligence system is something that Cao Liang has always attached great importance to. If the army is a giant, then the intelligence system is its eyes and ears. If there are no eyes and ears, no matter how powerful a giant is, it is a deaf and blind man, and does nothing.
As early as Luoyang, Cao Liang had formed a secret intelligence agency and penetrated it into all classes in Luoyang. Even though Cao Liang has evacuated Luoyang, this intelligence agency is still operating in an orderly manner, constantly conveying the latest news to Bingzhou.
Fang Bu was appointed by Cao Liang as the leader of this intelligence agency, the commander of the Military Affairs Office, and was fully responsible for the intelligence agency. Fang Bu has great power and is also the person Cao Liang trusts the most. Cao Liang feels most relieved to put him in this position.
With this purpose, Cao Liang can grasp the situation in Luoyang at any time.
After Sima Yi returned to Luoyang, he was busy with the settlement of Wang Ling. Even though Wang Ling had committed suicide, Sima Yi did not let his body go and whip the body to the public. Sima Yi's purpose was to shock the world and let those who tried to go against him see that Wang Ling's fate was their role model. If he wanted to fight Sima Yi, there was only a way out.
Bloody terror enveloped Luoyang City, and everyone in the entire Luoyang City was in danger. This massacre was very involved, and if you were not careful, you would be punished. After all, no one had any relatives or six. As long as you have a little relationship with Wang Ling or have some relationship with Wang Ling's confidants, you will have to lose your skin even if you don't die.
The wife of Guo Huai, the general of the Yongliang commander, was Wang Ling's sister. This time, he naturally became the target of the company's punishment and was taken back to Luoyang by Si Yi for questioning. Guo Huai had already accepted this arrangement silently, but Guo Huai's five children cried bitterly, unable to bear his mother's death, and cried and begged Guo Huai to save his mother.
Guo Huai had no choice but to plead with Sima Yi and beg Sima Yi to let his wife go.
Although Sima Yi was ruthless, no matter what, Guo Huai was also the most important general. If Sima Yi was determined to execute Guo’s wife, Guo Huai would be free from his will. Although Huainan is now peaceful, there is still Cao Liang in Bingzhou. If something happens again in Yongzhou, the situation will inevitably be unfavorable to Sima Yi.
So Sima Yi thought about it again and again, and finally gave Guo Huai's wife a special pardon.
But Sima Yi's confidant generals are like this. If others want to seek pardon, it will be like a test. So once you are imprisoned by a prisoner, you will basically be powerless to turn things around.
Sima Yi spared no effort to eliminate dissidents, which obviously had a great relationship with his dark personality. For many years, Sima Yi has been living under the shadow of Cao Cao Pi and even Cao Rui. Even when Cao Shuang was in power, he had the opportunity and means to kill Sima Yi.
The reason why Sima Yi can survive until now is actually an extremely difficult thing. If his opponents were a little more ruthless, Sima Yi would definitely not live today.
This undoubtedly gave Sima Yi a warning that kindness is not a solution to the crisis. Only the ruthless and ruthlessness is the best medicine to prevent everything. It is better to kill by mistake than to let go. Therefore, when dealing with political enemies, Sima Yi will never be ambiguous. This is because he has gained experience in his life as if he was walking on thin ice and trembling. After defeating his opponent, he must step on another foot so that he will never turn over.
Sima Yi knew that he was old and had little time, but his Sima family's country was not easy to get. In order for his descendants to accept power smoothly, Sima Yi did not mind that he was full of killing and was full of blood and debt.
Even if he was plagued by injustice, Sima Yi was not afraid. All he had to do was pave the way and open the prelude to the glorious era of the Sima family. For this purpose, he refused to hesitate.
