Chapter 1311 Cao’s Queen Establishment (2)(2/2)
General Cao was a little confused now:
"Is there any other explanation? Uncle Ping, please help me clear up my doubts."
He Yan chuckled, with a calm and confident expression on his face, and began to point out:
"General, over the years, most of the goods heading to Luoyang have been controlled by that Xinghan Society. Do you really know that Thief Feng doesn't know? He is just pretending not to know."
"General, don't forget that sentence: The bustling world is all for profit; the bustling world is for profit!"
Just as he and others relied on the general for profit, Feng Mingwen also instigated the Xinghan Society to smuggle goods for profit.
Although the means are different, the purpose is the same.
"Since these goods are all destined for the east, it is natural to sell them to whomever it is profitable to sell them to."
"Selling it to Sima Yi will certainly make a profit, but it will also increase Sima Yi's money and food. If you are not careful, you will be counterattacked by Sima Yi."
This goes without saying. How long has it been since the battle with the Party?
"But selling it to us is different. Not only can we make a profit, but there is also no harm, because we are only connected to the Western Bandits by the Wuguan Road."
Take the Wuguan Road to attack Wuguan?
I have never thought about Xuchang.
It is also very difficult for the Western bandit army to go to Nanjun via Wuguan Road.
After all, the last time Feng rebelled against Caoqiao Pass for more than two months, he didn't even try to cross the water in the end, so he had to retreat in a hurry.
This made General Cao, He Yan and others full of confidence in Caoqiao Pass.
"Since there is no great stake, then selling it to us is naturally much better than selling it to Sima Yi."
He Yanzhizhu said with confidence:
"Without the Luoyang trade route, Sima Yi lost a huge source of wealth, which is bound to be reduced. But when the general gains a source of wealth, his potential is bound to rise. This can be said to be what happens when one rises and the other falls."
"When the time comes, Sima Yi faces the Western bandits and he is unable to catch them, while the general is sneaking behind him. Not to mention that he dares to be disrespectful to the general again. Even if he is ordered to fight the Western bandits with all his strength, he must obey orders."
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" After hearing this, General Cao high-fived him repeatedly and said to He Yan, "Uncle Ping, you are really my son-in-law!"
Hearing Cao Shuang's words, He Yan smiled slightly, his pink and handsome face looking somewhat reserved and contented.
Over the years, to be precise, since Cao Shuang came to power, the only battle between Xuchang and Feng Thief was the battle at Caoqiao Pass.
Moreover, that battle ended with Feng Thief's defeat.
At least in the eyes of Cao Shuang and others in Xuchang, the Feng thief was repulsed.
This gave Cao Shuang and Taichung Sangou, these dudes who had never led troops into battle, even had an illusion:
The so-called Feng, who is famous all over the world, has nothing but foresight and foresight.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to live up to its reputation.
But He Yan smiled and said to General Cao:
"General, the Yu family attached themselves to the Sima family because of profit. May I ask if they will attach themselves to the general because of profit?"
After He Yan reminded him, General Cao finally remembered the business and burst into laughter.
The Yu family was originally a chess piece arranged by the late emperor to contain the Sima family.
It's just that the world is unpredictable, so he and the Sima family stand on the same side.
If the person who can benefit them changes from the Sima family to himself, then it would be reasonable for the Yu family to rely on him.
What's more, now that my position is firmly established, if the Yu family really becomes a political ally with me, then there is no need to worry even if the Queen Mother Yu is released.
"Uncle Ping, when can Xiahou Mao deliver the goods?"
For General Cao, for such a good thing, the sooner the better.
Moreover, the matter of establishing a queen is already imminent. If you want to win over the Yu family, then it is best to implement this matter as quickly as possible.
"Why is the general so anxious? Between Wuguan and Xuchang, there is Nanyang County."
He Yan coughed and looked at General Cao meaningfully, "It will take some time to clear up..."
General Cao clicked his tongue, a little unconcerned:
"What's the harm? In the name of the general, I will ask Nanyang County not to embarrass the caravan."
Seeing this, He Yan had to speak more clearly:
"General, this matter is of great importance. It is best to send another trusted aide to supervise it in person, so that people can feel at ease!"
On the Wuguan Commercial Road, Wancheng is the only way to go.
And Wancheng happened to be the place where Nanyang County was heavily garrisoned.
Most of the soldiers in the army have never seen the world.
Suddenly I saw so many rare things coming from the west. If a few of them had their own ideas, it would really ruin things.
Wasn't this how the Emperor Taihuang (i.e. Cao Song, the father of Cao Cao) was killed in Xuzhou?
Of course, He Yan also had another meaning:
Why should you take advantage of others when you have worked so hard to accomplish something?
You must let yourself go through a layer of oil and water first before talking!
Over the years, what He Yan has done has become more and more excessive.
Even his wife, Princess Jinxiang, Cao Cao's daughter, felt a little scared and secretly ran to her mother and said:
"Yan is very evil, how can he protect himself?"
It means that He Yan's evil deeds are getting worse day by day, and he will definitely get into trouble. What will he do to protect his wealth and life in the future?
So he is the only one who takes advantage of others, so how can he let others take advantage of himself?
Although General Cao didn't know what He Yan was thinking, after hearing his explanation, he knew that he had gone too far.
"If this is the case, how can I win the trust of the Yu family?"
You can’t just talk in vain, right?
"General, why should we worry?"
He Yan smiled slightly:
"The Zhen family can't be a queen, and the Yu family can't be a queen without saying anything!"
The Queen Mother and the Empress both come from families that support the general. Aren't they much better than the Zhen family?
The Zhen family was too deeply bound to the royal family, and now Hebei was under Sima Yi's control again.
Not to mention that this time, Wang Su, as Sima Yi's in-law, deliberately brought up the matter of establishing a queen, which made people doubt that Sima Yi was behind this matter.
As the saying goes, it is better to believe that something exists than to believe something does not exist.
And if this matter is true, then it will be too difficult to win over the Zhen family again, and the risk will be too high.
But the Yu family is different.
Although Hanoi is also under the control of the Sima family, but again, the Yu family is a chess piece arranged by the late emperor to contain the Sima family.
Even if the Yu family has second thoughts about the general in the future, it would be better to deal with one Yu family than to deal with the two Yu Zhen families (the Queen Mother and the Empress) at the same time.
It is better to go against the enemy's will than to follow his will.
"Without further delay, let's do what Uncle Ping wants."
Getting married is not a simple matter. Not only is the process cumbersome, but the days also need to be carefully selected.
Just when a superior reported that April was the only suitable time for summer, the Queen Mother, who had just moved back to the palace, suddenly issued an edict:
The daughter of the Zhen family had poor moral character and was not suitable to be the empress of the Wei Dynasty, so the general was ordered to choose another daughter with Shude.
Of course, Queen Mother Yu also had her own reasons for agreeing to Cao Shuang so easily:
I remember clearly how you, late Emperor, humiliated me in front of the whole world.
Besides, this is your Cao family's own business. I just support General Cao's side.
Not to mention, isn't General Cao the auxiliary minister chosen by the late emperor yourself?
Not only can you regain your freedom, but you can also help your family, and you can also let out a bad breath, so why not do it?
When Taichang Wang Su learned the news, he was so angry that he cursed Huan Fan, the think tank of General Cao:
"The three dogs in Taichung, namely Hong Gong and Shi Xian, are called Suo Xie!"
Hong Gong and Shi Xian were eunuchs of the former Han Dynasty who once controlled the central government.
While in power, he formed cliques for personal gain, attacked dissidents, disrupted government affairs, persecuted ministers, and even forced important ministers to commit suicide.
It's notorious.
Wang Su spoke so openly about the Three Dogs of Taichung, which naturally made the three of them very angry.
It's just that I haven't been able to catch Wang Su for a while, so I can't do anything about him for the time being.
