Cao Shuang wants to attack Shu.

Sima Yi advised him not to do it.

He ignored the dissuasion of Taifu Sima Yi and advocated the attack on Shu, and Wei Emperor Cao Fang also followed his advice.

As a result, he was defeated by Wang Ping, the former supervisor of Shu and the general of Zhenbei.

The Wei army was hindered from rising, and the rear was not supplied with food. A large number of cattle, horses, mules and donkeys died.

Fei Yi's reinforcements also arrived. Cao Shuang saw that he could not win, so he was forced to obey. Following Sima Yi's advice, he finally returned with his army.

As a result, on the way back, they were intercepted by the Shu army led by Jiang Wei. The Wei army fought hard before retreating.

However, the losses in this battle were extremely heavy, and many soldiers were separated and injured.

Because of this defeat, Cao Shuang's prestige in Cao Wei dropped drastically.

In August of the sixth year of Zhengshi,

Cao Shuang abandoned the Zhongba and Zhongjian camps and handed over the soldiers of the two battalions to the leadership of his younger brother Cao Xi, hoping to seize Sima Yi's military power.

Sima Yi cited the old rules of the late emperor to stop him, but Cao Shuang refused to listen.

Cao Shuang's actions not only violated the duties of Minister Gu Ming.

It also led to repeated defeats and the decline of Wei's national power.

Many people with lofty ideals have made great achievements inI am uneasy and hope that my master will uphold justice.

In addition, Cao Shuang belongs to the clan, but not to the old minister.

Many veterans of Cao Pi's era were very dissatisfied with Cao Shuang.

Many people began to support Sima Yi.

Sun Li, the governor of Bingzhou, went to complain to Sima Yi about Cao Shuang's behavior.

Sima Yi comforted him and said,"Stop it, I can't bear it anymore."

In the same year,

Cao Shuang used the conspiracy of his confidants He Yan, Deng Yang, and Ding Mi to move the Queen Mother Guo to Yongning. palace.

Queen Mother Guo became Cao Shuang's puppet.

At that time, Cao Shuang's brother was specialized in government affairs, and the brothers were also in charge of the imperial army.

He is also pro-party and has repeatedly changed the system.

It aroused dissatisfaction among many veterans inside and outside the government.

He believed that Cao Shuang was causing trouble to the Cao family's regime.

In May,

Sima Yi found out about this, but pretended to be ill and did not care about political affairs.

Start hiding your strength and bide your time.

In March of the ninth year of Zhengshi,

Zhang Dang of Huangmen sent 11 people including Shi Ying, a talented person from the inner court, to Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang and He Yan took the opportunity to collude with Zhang Dang and plan to endanger the country.

Cao Shuang was brave and foolhardy, arrogant and domineering, and even the emperor did not take him seriously. The only person he feared was Sima Yi. He regarded Sima Yi as a thorn in his side, and

Cao Shuang and his followers were also worried that Sima Yi was pretending to be ill.

In the winter of the same year,

Cao Shuang's confidant, Henan Yin Li Sheng, was going to Jingzhou to serve as governor, so he went to visit him.

Mainly to get information.

Let’s see if Sima Yi is faking it.

Li Sheng went straight to the Taifu's mansion, where a doorman had already reported in.

Sima Yi said to his second son,"This is why Cao Shuang sent me to investigate the actual condition of my illness." He took off his hat, let down his hair, sat on the bed covered with a quilt, pretended to be seriously ill, asked the maid to support him, and then invited Li Sheng to see him.

Sima Yi had already used this trick.

At that time, Sima Yi often used his numbness in his hands and feet as an excuse to refuse to accept Cao Cao's orders and lie down at home pretending to be sick.

One day when his house was drying books, a heavy rain suddenly came.

In his hurry, Sima Yi forgot to pretend to be sick and got up to collect the books.

This move was seen by his only maid, and

Sima Yi's wife Zhang immediately killed her with her own hands to silence her.

This time, the malingering actually eluded the traitor Cao Cao.

Now, Sima Yi is facing greater danger. If he is not careful and reveals a flaw, he will be killed and his family will be wiped out.

The mutual testing between Li Sheng and Sima Yi also emerged on the screen.

After Li Sheng paid homage to Sima Yi, he tentatively said:"I have never seen Taifu. Who would have thought that he would be so ill?

How sad.

Now that I have been transferred to be the governor of Jingzhou, I came here to bid farewell to Taifu."

Sima Yi pretended to be old and confused and answered. road:

"Li Sheng, Bingzhou is close to the north, so be careful!

Li Sheng said in confusion:"I'm going to Jingzhou, not Bingzhou!"

Sima Yi smiled and said,"Are you from Bingzhou?"

Li Sheng said loudly:"It's Jingzhou in Han Dynasty!" Sima Yi laughed:"Are you from Jingzhou?" Li

Sheng thought to himself: Why is this old man so ill?

The maid told him:"The master is so sick that he is deaf.""

"Get a pen! Li

Sheng ordered and wrote something for him to read.

Sima Yi understood it after reading it and said with a smile:"I don't want to be deaf because of illness!" He pointed at his mouth, and the maid gave him soup.

He drank it with his mouth and vomited all over the bed.

He choked for a while and then said:"I am old and seriously ill. I am afraid I won't live for a few days.".

My two children are not talented and I hope my husband will teach them.

If you meet General Cao, be sure to ask him to take care of you!"

After saying that, he fell on the bed again and gasped.

Seeing this, Li Sheng looked calm on the surface.

But in fact, as a close confidant of Cao Shuang, he was already happy inside.

And Sima Yi pretended to be seriously ill and completely deceived him..

Cao Shuang was naturally happy when he found out about this.

He said:"If this old immortal dies, I will be completely relieved."

So Cao Shuang was deceived by Sima Yi's pretending to be ill.

He and his confidants began to be unwary of Sima Yi.

When Sima Yi saw Li Sheng leaving, he stood up and told his two sons:

"From then on, Cao Shuang really felt at ease with me.

We just waited until he went out to hunt in the city and then gave him some benefits."

And saw that Sima Yi once again pretended to be sick and escaped.

Everyone was completely speechless.

Back then, Sima Yi relied on pretending to be sick to avoid Cao Cao's signs, but he didn't expect that he would start the same trick again today. Repeat.

What surprised everyone the most was that Sima Yi's pretending to be sick completely deceived Cao Shuang again.

I don't know if it was because Sima Yi was so proficient in pretending to be sick.

Or because Cao Shuang's mind was just too stupid.!!

This Sima Yi’s pretending to be sick is simply a new trick that has been used all over the world!!

"This Sima Yi's pretending to be sick is so similar, it's almost a practice!!"

"This Cao Shuangchun is really speechless, he is like a toy in front of Sima Yi"

"Even Cao Cao, who was so insidious back then, was deceived. Of course, Cao Shuang's brains are no match for him."

"Cao Shuang is the real deal!!"

And inside Yecheng,

Cao Cao looked even more anxious.

"How could Sima Yi pretend to be ill and deceive Cao Shuang so easily? ?"

"This Cao Shuang is as stupid as a pig or a dog. How could I have such stupid descendants in the future!!"

"If there was one tenth of my strategy, it would be more than this!!"

Cao Cao beat his chest and stamped his feet.

He wished he could travel through time and replace Cao Shuang.

He destroyed Sima Yi, but there was nothing he could do.

The scene continues.

In the first month of the first year of Jiaping,

Wei Emperor Cao Fang left Luoyang to pay homage to Wei Ming Emperor Gaoping Mausoleum.

General Cao Shuang and the central commander Cao Cao Xi and Wuwei General Cao Xun both followed.

Sima Yi heard that Cao Shuang, his brothers Cao Xi, Cao Xun, and Cao Yan, as well as his confidants He Yan, Deng Yang, Ding Mi, Bi Gui, Li Shengren, etc., led the imperial army to follow Cao Fang out of the city to pay homage to Cao Rui. Tomb, and hunt by the way.

Sima Yi was overjoyed,"This Cao Shuang is really stupid. The city is so empty, and it can be a big deal.""(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Immediately summoned Situ Gaorou and ordered him to go on a false holiday to conduct general military operations. He first occupied Cao Shuang's camp, and then appointed his servant Wang Guanxing to lead the military and occupy Cao Xi's camp..

Sima Yi led his former officials to the harem to report to the Empress Dowager Guo, saying that Cao Shuang violated the kindness of the late emperor Tuogu and committed treachery to the country, and his crime should be abolished.[]

After hearing this, Empress Guo was naturally shocked and said:"The emperor is still outside, what should we do about this matter?"

Sima Yi said:"I have a report to the emperor, which contains a plan to kill the traitor. Don't worry, the queen mother."."

Queen Mother Guo was frightened and she was a woman, so she had no choice but to agree.

Sima Yi hurriedly ordered Taiwei Jiang Ji and Shangshu Ling Sima Fu to draw up a seal, and sent Huangmen out of the city to report to Cao Fang.

Sima Yi personally led the army to occupy the weapons depot.

Someone had already reported to Cao Shuang's home.

His wife, Mrs. Liu, hurriedly came to the hall and called the officials who were guarding the government to ask:

"Now that our protagonist is away, what is Sima Yi's intention to suddenly raise troops? Pan

Ju, the gatekeeper general, said,"Madam, don't be alarmed. I will go and inquire and report back.""

He immediately led dozens of crossbowmen and climbed to the gate tower to look into the distance.

Just as he saw Sima Yi leading his troops past the house,

Pan Ju ordered everyone to fire a volley of arrows, but Sima Yi could not pass.

General Sun Qian shouted from behind. :"The Taifu is doing something important for the country, so don't let go of your arrows. Things haven't been decided yet!!"

After shouting three times, Pan Ju gave the order to stop shooting.

Sima Zhao protected his father and led his troops out of the city to Luohe River to guard the pontoon.

When Cao Shuang's subordinate Sima Luzhi saw what was happening in the city, he discussed with Xin Chang, who joined the army:" Now that Sima Yi launched a mutiny, how should we deal with it?

Xin Chang said:"We can lead our troops out of the city to meet the emperor.""

Lu Zhi agreed to Xin Chang's proposal, and Xin Chang hurried into the back hall.

His sister Xin Xianying saw it and asked,"What's the emergency? Why are you so panicked?"

Xin Chang said:"The emperor is outside, and the Taifu has closed the city gate to rebel."

Xin Xianying said:"Sima Yi may not be plotting rebellion, he just wants to kill Cao Shuang."

Xin Chang asked in surprise:"Then what should we do about this matter?"

Xin Xianying said:"Cao Shuang is no match for Sima Yi and will inevitably be defeated." Xin

Chang said:"Now Lu Sima wants me to go with him. Should I go or not?"

Xin Xianying said:"Being loyal to one's duties is the righteousness of a person." When ordinary people are in trouble, they still have to go and sympathize. Having power but not doing anything is the greatest incompetence."

Xin Chang obeyed, so he and Lu Zhi led dozens of cavalry, cut through the gate and stormed out.

Someone reported it to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was worried that Huan Fan would also leave the city, so he hurriedly sent someone to summon him, and Huan Fan discussed with his son.

His The son said:"The car is out, so we might as well go out to the south gate."

Huan Fan obeyed, mounted his horse and came to Pingchang Gate.

The city gate was closed. The gatekeeper was Si Fan, Huan Fan's former subordinate.

Huan Fan took out a bamboo board from his sleeve and said,"The Queen Mother has an edict and orders the door to be opened quickly..

Si Fan said:"Please get the imperial edict and check it."

Huan Fan shouted:"You are my former subordinate, how dare you be so rude!" Si

Fan had no choice but to open the door and let him out.

After Huan Fan arrived outside the city, he said to Si Fan:"The Taifu has rebelled. You can follow me to report the news." Si

Fan was shocked and had no time to catch up, so he quickly sent someone to report to Sima Yi.

Jiang Ji was shocked and said,"Cao Shuang's think tank has escaped. What should we do?" Sima

Yi said calmly:"I love you, and although Huan Fan is very resourceful, Cao Shuang will definitely not listen to his words." Sima

Yi then ordered Xu Yun and Chen Tai to say:"Go to see Cao Shuang quickly and say that the Taifu has no other intention and just wants to deprive their brothers of their military power.""

Xu Yun and Chen Tai left.

Sima Yi called the lieutenant colonel Yin Damu to Jiang Ji and asked him to write a letter to Jiang Ji. He ordered Yin Damu to take the letter to see Cao Shuang.

Sima Yi said that the imperial court was only removing him from his official position, and ordered him to Luoshui. For the oath.

Sima Yi ordered:"You and Cao Shuang have an irreversible friendship, so you can take on this important task.

After you met Cao Shuang, you said that Jiang Ji and I swore on Luoshui that we only wanted military power and had no other intentions."

Yin Damu left as ordered.

Cao Shuang was in Gaopingling, flying eagles and dogs, when suddenly someone reported that there was a mutiny in Luoyang City, and the Taifu had arrived.

Cao Shuang was shocked and almost fell off his horse in fright.

Huangmen Guan Peng Peng The watch kneeled before the emperor. Cao Shuang took the watch, opened it, and ordered his ministers to read it out.

The watch said:

"Sima Yi, the Governor-General of the Western Expedition and the Grand Tutor's minister, was sincere and frightened.

He paused and said sincerely:"I have returned from Liaodong in the past. The late emperor ordered His Majesty to accompany the King of Qin and his ministers to the royal bed and hold my arms, thinking of the future."

Now the general, Cao Shuang, has betrayed his orders and corrupted the state code; he has arbitrarily imposed authority on the inside and is authoritative in foreign affairs; he has appointed Zhang Dang of Huangmen as the governor of the capital, specializing in dealing with the common people; he has inspected the Supreme Being and waited for the sacred weapon; he has alienated the two palaces and harmed his flesh and blood. ;The world is turbulent and people are afraid:

…………

The ministers quickly gathered their troops and stationed them at the Luoshui pontoon bridge to keep an eye on them. I would like to hear this and bow down to the Holy Spirit to listen."

After hearing this, Fang was also shocked and asked Cao Shuang:

"The Tutor said this, how do you think the Qing family should be dealt with? Cao

Shuang was at a loss. He looked back at his two brothers and asked,"You guys tell me what we should do?"

Cao Xi said:"I have advised my brother many times, but you have been stubborn and refused to listen. That's why we are today."

Sima Yi is so cunning that not even Zhuge Liang can defeat him, let alone you and me, brothers?

We might as well tie ourselves up and go see the Taifu, maybe we can avoid death.

Before he finished speaking, Xin Chang and Sima Luzhi, who had joined the army, arrived. Cao

Shuang asked them about their situation.

The two reported:"The fences in the city are like iron barrels. The Taifu led the troops to camp on the Luoshui pontoon. The current situation cannot go back." , we should make plans early."

While he was talking, Sinong Huanfan rushed over.

He offered advice to Cao Shuang and said:"The Taifu launched a mutiny. Why didn't the general ask the emperor to send troops to Xuchang to mobilize troops from other counties to attack Sima Yi?"

"Once a document is issued, the soldiers and horses of the world will be mobilized. Who is Sima Yi?

Cao Shuang said:"Our whole family is in the city, how can we seek help elsewhere?"

Huan Fan said:"When faced with a crisis, a common man still looks for opportunities to survive!"

Now the lord follows the emperor and can command the world at any time. Who dares not to respond?

How could he commit suicide?"

After hearing this, Cao Shuang was very hesitant and couldn't make up his mind.

He just shed tears.

Huan Fan added:"This trip to Xuchang is just a temporary stay. The food and grass in the city are enough to last for several years.

Now all the soldiers and horses of the lord's other camps are close to the south of the city, and they will come at a moment's notice.

I have brought Da Sima's handsome seal.

My lord must make a decision immediately, otherwise it will be all over!

Cao Shuang held his head and said,"Don't force me anymore, wait until I think about it carefully.""

After a while, Xu Yun, the Attendant, and Chen Tai, the Secretary, also arrived.

They reported:"The Taifu is just because of the general's power, and he just wants to reduce the military power. He has no other intentions. The general can return to the city early."

Cao Shuang remained silent, but his heart moved again.

He saw the arrival of Lieutenant Colonel Yin Damu again.

Yin Damu also said:"Taifu swore on Luoshui that he had no other intentions. There is a letter from Taiwei Jiang here to prove it.

As long as the general returns his military power, he can return to his mansion early."

Yin Damu has always been a close confidant of Cao Shuang.

In addition, Sima Yi and Jiang Ji have always been famous for keeping their promises.

Cao Shuang couldn't help but believe that this was the truth. He was actually moved.

Huan Fan's face changed drastically and he advised again:

"Lord, the matter is very urgent. Don’t listen to what outsiders say and go to die!".
