When Xu Huang said goodbye to Cao Pi and exited the door, Xu Gai, who was waiting in the courtyard, couldn't help but step forward, stuck to Xu Huang's side, and asked in a low voice: "Father, what did Your Majesty say to you, it's been so long."
In the past, my father reported it very quickly, but this time, there was actually a time for two pillars of incense, could it be that His Majesty had a major explanation to his father" Facing his son Xu Gai's curious inquiry, Xu Huang didn't know how to answer for a while.Xu Huang knew that Xu Gai was relatively close to Sima Yi and others, and Sima Yi had always wanted to win him over secretly, but he had always kept a low profile, and in the face of Sima Yi's wooing, there was a response without a match.Over time, Sima Yi also gave up on getting in touch with himself, and Xu Huang originally thought that Sima Yi was really not scheming about himself.But what Xu Huang didn't expect was that Sima Yi actually began to attack his son Xu Gai, and Xu Gai has been practicing at home as an adult.Xu Huang didn't plan to let Xu Huang join the army so early.However, Sima Yi actually recommended his son Xu Gai to His Majesty in public, and praised Xu Gai's young age and strong martial arts, which made His Majesty very happy, and immediately recruited Xu Gai to attack, and gave him an official reward.After that, Sima Yi gave a feast of light merit, and let his sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao deliberately enter Xu Gai, especially Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi.Sima Shi has followed his father since he was a child, and he is especially aware of his father's actions, but he hides more than that.After seeing that his father Sima Yi repeatedly tried to woo Xu Huang and failed, he went to promote his son Xu Gai, Sima Shi knew his father's intentions and deliberately got very close to Xu Gai.Using his own intelligence, coupled with Xu Gai's martial arts, they both made a lot of achievements.Although Xu Gai is strong in martial arts, he is simple-minded, and he also knows that most of the military exploits he has obtained are due to Sima Shi's intelligence and strategy, so Xu Gai admires Sima Shi even more.It's just that in the end, Xu Gai didn't know that he was just a pawn of Sima Shi, but Sima Shi didn't need a small soldier, so he deliberately came to pull himself.What makes Sima's family value more is not themselves, but their father, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming.This time, Xu Huang saw that his son was so good and wanted to be healthy for the Wei State, so Xu Huang couldn't bear to refuse him.Without saying a word, he left Cao Pi's mansion with Xu Gai and went straight back to the barracks.It's just that what Xu Huang didn't know was that just as the two of them left, there was a person in Cao Pi's mansion who looked like a person in the mansion, but looking at the backs of the two leaving, he showed a sinister smile, and then left the mansion and ran in other directions.When Xu Huang and Xu Gai arrived at the barracks, they retreated, leaving only themselves and Xu Gai.Xu Huang stared at his son for a long time, and then slowly said: "Gai'er, you must be careful with the Sima family this time, you must not get too close to the people of their Sima family, otherwise it will not be good for you and our Xu family." ”After hearing Xu Huang's words, Xu Gai suddenly said with a puzzled face: "This is because, my father's family is very good to me, why does my father suddenly want me to be estranged from Lord Sima's family, you must know that up and down the Wei Kingdom, I don't know how many people want to be close to Lord Sima's family, and if Fa is a person close to him, he will definitely be strongly supported, which one does not have a certain identity and status." ”It's okay that Xu Gai didn't say it, but as soon as he talked about it, Xu Huang's heart suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but think of what Cao Pi said to him when he saw Cao Pi today.The Wei State is already full of Sima Yi's minions, and it is possible to empty the entire Wei State at any time, but for Xu Gai, Xu Huang didn't know how to respond, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "There are some things that my father is inconvenient to talk to you about, but I want you to remember that being a father is only because of the support of the first emperor to achieve today's achievements."
And our Xu family is also loyal to and obeys the Cao family, although Lord Sima is powerful, but you and I are not the master, so you have to distinguish this priority issue. ”This time Xu Huang said it bluntly, Xu Gai vaguely rushed to the slightest hint of badness, especially Xu Huang's tone, mixed with many complicated expressions.I only heard Xu Gai frown and wondered: "Father's words, isn't it saying that Lord Sima wants to interfere in the government of the Wei State and monopolize power" Seeing Xu Gai say this, Xu Huang couldn't help but shake his head, and then sighed and said: "Alas, you are not small now, but some problems are not as simple as you imagined."
Since the first emperor, he has been wary of Sima Yi and others, but at that time, the authority of the first emperor was gathered, and Sima Yi did not dare to move, but now that the first emperor has passed away, the power of the Cao family in Wei has gradually declined.And as you just said, the Sima family has already spread their minions in many parts of the Wei State, and once the time is ripe, Sima Yi will definitely overthrow Cao Wei in one fell swoop. ”Xu Gai was suddenly shocked, looked at Xu Huang and said in surprise: "How is this possible, there are still great generals in the army, such as Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Cao Zhang, Zhang Liao, and Xu Chu.Even if Lord Sima has the courage to make a mistake, he doesn't dare to make a mistake openly, his father must be too worried, and this time in the face of the attack of the Zhao army, Lord Sima has been trying to arrange a strategy to resist the Zhao army. ”Since the defeat of Liangzhou, Sima Yi has gradually accused Cao Ren, Cao Zhen and others of their mistakes in front of His Majesty.At that time, His Majesty was confused for a while, misheard Sima Yi's words, and deprived Cao Ren and Cao Zhen of the military power of the two generals, only a small part was left.And Cao Zhang was bent on competing with His Majesty for power, but Sima Yi had already taken advantage of His Majesty's wariness of Cao Zhang and deprived him of all his powers. ”"As for General Xiahoudun, he has always blamed himself for Xiahou Yuan's death, and he wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy several times, but Sima Yi used the excuse that the Zhao army was cunning, and General Xiahoudun's morale failed to recover, so he was not allowed to participate in the war.And General Zhang Liao has always been in charge of guarding the rear, and he has no right to participate in the war at all, let alone General Xu Chu, who is only responsible for His Majesty's security, and has no soldiers and horses in his hands. ”"Before, Sima Yi was bent on electing Niu Jin to lead the army to fight, just so that Niu Jun could get a trace of military merit, so that Sima Yi could use his power and appeal to force His Majesty to seal the official position of Niu Jin as a high-ranking official and military general.As long as Niu Jin is promoted, tied with several generals such as me, Sima Yi can manipulate Niu Jin to absorb all the soldiers and horses to control it for himself. ”After hearing this, Xu Gai nodded again and again and said: "I see, if it wasn't for the father's reminder, the child would have been kept in the dark." ”After speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that His Majesty called my father to go this time, just to discuss this matter" Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Xu Huang fortunately told Xu Gai everything truthfully in one breath, and Xu Gai was shocked when he heard it, and couldn't help blurting out: "Father, does Your Majesty really want to surrender to Zhao Guo In this way, wouldn't our Wei State be completely destroyed" Xu Huang couldn't help but show a trace of haggard color after hearing this: "There are some things you don't know, Even if Your Majesty has no such intentions, he decided to lead us and others to resist the Zhao army.However, with the strength of our army, what ability do we have to confront the Zhao army, I am afraid that between the two sides, even a battle, we will not be able to resist.His Majesty has mercy in his heart, and he does not want to see the soldiers and people of our Wei State sacrifice in vain, so he is willing to put down his own dignity and take the initiative to surrender to Zhao State in exchange for a glimmer of hope for the survival of Wei State.And I, as the general of the Wei State, can't solve problems for Your Majesty, which is really ashamed.However, as a general, he should respect His Majesty's decision-making, even if it is a loss of face. ”Xu Gai immediately chimed in: "Then if this matter is known to the people of Shu Kingdom, they will definitely stab us in the back, and Shu Kingdom will definitely not let Your Majesty surrender to Zhao State."
Once our Wei State surrenders, then with the strength of Shu State, it will not be able to fight against Zhao State at all, and Shu State will not be able to escape the matter of exile at that time. ”Xu Huang looked at Xu Gai and said solemnly: "What you said is not wrong, so what you and I and my father and son are discussing this time must not be known to the third person, otherwise, my Xu family will definitely be involved."
I Xu Huang don't want to, I have to fight all my life, but in the end, I can't save a trace of blood for the Xu family, so everything I Xu Huang did was done in vain. ”From Xu Huang's eyes, Xu Gai could see his father's hard work and hard work, and at that moment, the original young mentality suddenly had a trace of growth, and he immediately nodded towards Xu Huang.And just as Xu Huang and Xu Gai were talking, the sergeant who walked out of Cao Pi's mansion rushed all the way to the street.After some shuttle, after making sure that no one was following him, the sergeant turned directly into a seemingly luxurious mansion.What is even more strange is that when such a sergeant did not enter through the main entrance, but through a small door in the backyard of the mansion, and was not stopped by anyone along the way, it seems that this person is an old acquaintance here."
Participate in Lord Sima, and the small ones have important reports."
When this person searched all the way to the mansion and found the owner of the mansion, he immediately knelt down and bowed to him, but he didn't expect that this was actually the mansion of Sima Yi, an important minister of Wei.The sergeant was originally from Cao Pi's mansion, but he didn't expect to come here, obviously this person was specially arranged by Sima Yi's orders to put the eyeliner next to Cao Pi.Imagine that Cao Pi and Xu Huang have been cautious in this secret conversation, but they don't want to still miss a little and be discovered.Sima Yi was originally reading a book in the room, and suddenly saw someone coming in, and after hearing the other party's words, Sima Yi had already seen the identity of the other party, which was the informant he arranged next to Cao Pi, and immediately said to him: "Oh, do you have any important information, quickly tell me about it." ”:
