Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao
Chapter 616 Sima’s broken ship is about to sink
"Yong Zeng, do you think Xuanzu is easy to talk to?"
Ran Min thought for a moment and replied: "Wei Wu is a wise and powerful man. He must be a wise king with a discerning eye."
Just saying this for a while made Cao Cheng even more nervous.
Looking at the history of his fortune, first Zhang Wuye defended the city and single-handedly killed the tyrant Shi Hu.
He also received guidance from Cao Cao, who taught him how to divide military merit into local systems to facilitate the rapid development of the military strength in the north.
The closer he got to the Xie family's mansion in Jiankang, the more confused Cao Cheng became.
He was even thinking, what if the descendants of the Cao family who survived at that time were not him, but just any Cao Xi, Cao Le, Cao Jing, or Cao Ping?
Will the current situation in the world change?
No matter how many times he thought about it, the answer was surprisingly similar - absolutely no!
As long as that person met Ran Min outside Yunxiao Pavilion, it was Zhang Wu. The road behind is almost paved. Even a pig sitting in that position can become the overlord of the north as long as he is not hopelessly stupid.
"Jingping, what's wrong with you? I see sweat on your forehead and your steps are frivolous. Could it be that the soft breeze from the south of the Yangtze River made you sick?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little upset."
When Ran Min heard this, he stopped asking.
Cao Cheng was not the only one who was upset.
The long street was very quiet, and no one was seen within a hundred steps.
In fact, from the first moment Cao Cheng set foot in Jiankang City, both the Xie family and the Sima family received relevant news.
Xie Xuan sent his army to the outside of Jiankang City early to protect him.
It's just that the bloody scene where swords were drawn and weapons clashed over a disagreement did not happen.
The Jin army even opened the city gate directly to let Xie Xuan's army enter the city.
It was so weird that the surrounding air became quiet.
"After Xuanzu returns to the dynasty, move the Langya Xie family back to Chang'an, and move all the southern navy to Hefei to be stationed." Cao Cheng gave the order intentionally or unintentionally.
Ran Min nodded in greeting.
Cao Cheng's intention is very obvious. If he wants to kill with one blow, he must first close his fingers and turn his palms into fists. Only then can the outcome be decided in one fight.
On the surface, the Southern Jin Dynasty had a very low profile and was almost becoming a vassal state of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Even when the Northern Wei Dynasty emperor came to their capital, he did not send troops to encircle and suppress them.
But the Cao family and the Sima family have an unending blood feud that will destroy their country and family.
The grievances will never end just because one party gives in.
"This Sima Dan is quite a coward."
Ran Min murmured quietly, put aside his doubts, and continued southward with Cao Cheng.
Sima Dan is indeed stupid.
An emperor who has lived in seclusion in the palace since he was born, with rich clothes and fine food, how many strategies can he have inside.
It's just that Ran Min did underestimate Sima Dan. No matter how stupid he was, he still knew that Cao Cheng was the close enemy of the Southern Jin Dynasty. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to kill him, not to mention the change of offensive and defensive positions in the north and the south, he would at least be able to win the battle between the two Cao clans. Before the acting master grows up, the Southern Jin Dynasty will definitely be able to survive for a while.
Qianyuan Hall.
"I asked you to summon the Prime Minister. How long has it been since? Where is the person you summoned??!!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister refuses to go to court due to illness. We really can't move to invite you."
"Okay, I can't summon Huan Wen, but summon Sun Lin, the commander of the patrol camp, to come see me!"
"Here"
Xiaohuangmen went out with a sad face, and the courtiers pretended not to see the anger on the emperor's face, and just stood there with his highness closing their eyes and concentrating, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
No one thought that Sun Lin could come from Xiaohuangmen.
Even if Sun Lin came, Sima Dan would still be unable to give orders.
The thing is very simple. The person who didn't want to attack and kill Cao Cheng was not Sima Dan. The person who really didn't want to touch the Cao family was the Prime Minister Huan Wen of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Especially after the exchange between Wei Wu and Huan Wen, Huan Wen's attitude has completely changed.
Huan Wen is already old, and some of the ambitions he had when he was young have gradually been tempered by the baptism of time.
But some ambitions have become stronger with the passage of time.
First, Jin Wu was born, and now even Cao Cao, the founder of the Wei Dynasty, has appeared. No matter how you look at unifying the Central Plains, it is a fantasy. Even if the north and south are finally unified, it can only end with the Northern Wei annihilating the Jin Dynasty.
In this case, why not settle for the next best thing.
Now Huan Wen's heart and eyes are full of reaching the position he has dreamed of.
He usurped Sima and stood up.
After all, he has abundant family resources. If he can really conquer the Sima family and have the support of the family below, he may be able to compete with the Northern Wei Dynasty for a few years.
Even if it fails in the end, Huan Wen is not Sima, and he has no blood feud with the Cao family. Even if he surrenders to Kaicheng, he can still have a good beginning and a good end.
Thus,
Huan Wen wished that Cao Cheng would welcome Cao Cao away quickly.
The fewer twists and turns that happened in Jiankang City, the better. How could he send troops to attack and kill Cao Cheng.
In less than half an hour, Xiaohuangmen turned back and knelt down to His Highness, not daring to speak out loud.
Sure enough, he failed to invite Sun Lin back as Sima Dan expected.
"How dare a little patrol general not listen to my summons!!!? What kind of excuse did he make!"
"Back, back to your majesty, I haven't seen Sun Lin yet."
"Why?"
Xiao Huangmen pretended to wipe two tears: "The guard outside the camp said: eunuchs are not allowed to come near the important military area. So they beat the villain out."
"You never stated your intention to leave?"
"The villain said it! Your Majesty, it won't hurt if the general hits the villain, but it will damage the emperor's face!"
Everyone below laughed at me.
Eunuchs and eunuchs are deformed creatures who always stir up trouble regardless of the situation. How long have they been trying to use the power of the emperor to establish his majesty?
Not to mention that he was just an eunuch, Sima Dan himself probably didn't realize that his time was running out.
"Rebellion against him! Order more than a hundred guards, and I will go to the patrol camp to have a look in person!"
Xiao Huangmen lowered his head to prevent Sima Dan from seeing the joy on his face, and just followed the order.
At this point, the courtiers were too lazy to waste their time trying to persuade.
Sima Jiangshan was about to be destroyed, and it was time for them to go back and think about a way out.
Was he secretly communicating with the Northern Wei Dynasty, or was he closely surrounding Huan Wen and waving the flag?
After all, we can't sink with this broken ship.
