Chapter 125 Planting the Roots of Bane
Xiahou Xuan's face turned gloomy, stared at Gongsun Xiu, and said word by word: "Why is the King of Yan going to rebel? Could it be that he deceived me, no one in the Wei Dynasty?"
Gongsun Xiu frowned and raised his head. The two of them looked at each other, and the smell of gunpowder flashed, and they said lightly: "If Gu really wants to rebel, I am afraid that even the envoys will not be able to step out of the door."
The threat was unconcealed. To put it bluntly, the envoys and the guards were only more than 200. Gongsun Xiu really wanted to rebel and could kill all the envoys. Yan State rarely abide by the statement that the two countries were fighting and the envoys came to the scene. It started from Gongsun Yuan, and it was undoubtedly a death to go to Yan State when he was sent to the envoys.
Xiahou Xuan and others swallowed their saliva at the same time, and a sense of crisis surged in their hearts. For the first time, they knew that it was extremely dangerous to go to another country. Gongsun Yuan and his son both had the habit of killing envoys. This seemed to be a sign of killing the leader. He was afraid and his tone slowed down a little: "What is the explanation for King Yan's words? He brought 100,000 troops to Luoyang. Is this not a crime of treason, and what is it?"
Gongsun Xiudao: "It should not be. I surrendered to the late emperor that year, and called on the Liaoshui to swear to be a minister of Wei forever, guard the northeast for the late emperor, guard the border herders, and expel the barbarians. This was originally a duty of duty. Although there was doubt that Goguryeo had to be executed first and then report, the soldiers were very fast and could not play according to common sense. Gu has always been moved by the last emperor's benevolence and kindness, and often sighed day and night. Now that the young lord has succeeded the throne, there are many ambitions in the court, who control the government, confuse the saint king, and make the people miserable. Gu thought it might be the cause of a villain in the court, and it was not very certain, but once discovered, he would raise an army in the name of clearing the king, expel the culprit, and return the culprit to your majesty. This is the duty of the minister."
Xiahou Xuan only heard the cold hands and feet, thinking that you actually wanted to send troops in the name of Qingjun Bang. He was really arrogant.
The general gave the condition that the crown prince of Yan was to bring the prince of Yan back to Luoyang in the name of the country according to the proton system. If he was unwilling, he would send troops in this name; if he was willing to hand over the prince, it would mean that the Yan thief was timid and could still find an excuse to send troops. In short, he would have to send troops to Liaodong.
Xiahou Xuanman was sure to win and be able to detain Gongsun Xiu's son back to Luoyang, but he didn't expect that he was a hard bone. He immediately stood up and said, "Since that is the case, there is nothing to talk about. The lower official immediately returned to Luoyang to report to the emperor and the general."
Gongsun Xiu thought to himself that Yan State might not be able to withstand Cao Shuang's attack. After all, the grand occasion of sending troops this time would be unprecedented. Sima Yi only used 40,000 troops to attack Liaodong last time, and because of negligence, he had an opportunity to take advantage of it. If Cao Shuang had planned for a long time and ordered a large army of 100,000 troops to attack, it would be unpredictable.
But it was not afraid that the Wei army could stop the attack on Yan State. Cao Shuang insisted on using the Liao Dynasty to conquer the world. Even if Gongsun Xiu handed over his son as a hostage, Cao Shuang still found an excuse to start a war, so he simply turned against him. If the fighter reversed and the Yan army could turn defeat into victory at a disadvantage, Cao Shuang would definitely use Gongsun Ba as a threat. At that time, he would be stuck between his own flesh and blood and the military and civilians of Yan State, and it would be even more difficult to make a decision.
Xiahou Xuankuo walked out of the hall. Gongsun Xiu seemed to have thought of something, hurriedly called him and said, "Taichu stayed."
"What advice does King Yan have?" Xiahou Xuan turned around.
He smiled and said, "I wonder how the tutor is doing recently?"
Why did he care about this old opponent?
Xiahou Xuan frowned, thinking that if you didn't ask the general, you would ask the old thief Sima? He immediately said, "The Grand Tutor is old and weak, deaf and blurred, and he has only been in the court for a false position. He only attends court for three days every ten days."
Gongsun Xiu's expression moved and frowned and said, "Is the Taifu sick?"
This question seemed to have a very concerned attitude, which only shocked Xiahou Xuan. As a relative of the Cao family, what he hated the most was the aristocratic family that had been entrenched in the court for many years, almost all the positions of the clan. Now that Cao Shuang has taken office and vigorously activated the clan, he has finally ushered in a new dawn, which is a good opportunity to beat Sima Yi into the coffin.
Xiahou Xuan said: "The Taifu is already 62 years old and is very sick, so it is normal."
Gongsun Xiu thought that Sima Yi was so old that he pretended to be sick, and there was no flaw at all. Logically speaking, the average life expectancy of the ancients was roughly like this. Even if Sima's houses go door to door tomorrow, they would definitely not be able to doubt whether it was true or false. At most, they would give some comfort or take a look.
In ancient times, such an old age meant that people died suddenly and died suddenly, and no one would find it strange. If a person in his thirties died, everyone would sigh that he would die young and that those who were over 60 years old were basically blessed people.
Gongsun Xiu whispered: "Taichu, I will tell you something that the Taifu is a fraud and cannot come out of his illness. Do not believe it. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it."
Xiahou Xuan snorted: "You should not use this plan of separation again, the general will make a clear decision."
He shouted, thinking that his cleverness was wronged by cleverness, and he could not really produce the Gaopingling change according to the historical trend. He said lightly: "Taichu is unwilling to believe it, there is nothing he can do. Gu had long heard that Sima Yi was cheating on his illness, but in fact he kept a low profile. He had secretly raised three thousand dead soldiers in the middle of Luoyang City, lurking and waiting for the opportunity. If so, if there are changes in the world, he might get disaster. Taichu could send someone to search and check in Luoyang to see if there are any suspicious people, and then he would know."
Xiahou Xuan was only scared, but he felt it was just one-sided words. He smiled and said, "The King of Yan is really whimsical. Luoyang is the capital of the imperial city, with countless internal and external imperial guards at the foot of the emperor, and officials patrolled day and night. Under such circumstances, three thousand dead soldiers could be placed in Luoyang without everyone's knowledge, unless the Taifu family is all powerful and like a god, they can avoid eyeliners."
Gongsun Xiu thought it was really hard to explain. He could see that Xiahou Xuan regarded his preconceit as a person who was sowed away from the cliché. In addition, he was extremely conceited and smart, and did not believe that someone could install three thousand dead soldiers in all kinds of dangerous places. He was speechless and thought to himself: "Your grandma, if you should be smart, you will be dead now. You don't believe that there are such people in the world, but this person is your brother-in-law Sima Shi."
At that time, Sima Shi once married Xiahou Hui, the sister of Xiahou Xuan, and the Sima family and the Xiahou family also had a relationship with each other. Xiahou Hui gave birth to five daughters for Sima Shi, but Sima Shi thought she was the daughter of the clan. After all, she was in the Wei State. If she stayed for a long time, she would reveal the secrets of the Sima family, so she secretly poisoned her.
From this we can see that from beginning to end, Cao Shuang and Xiahou Xuan could not see the depth of the Sima family at all, and the final tragedy occurred.
