Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

"Cao Wei?"

Ma Di was slightly taken aback, and asked in puzzlement:

"Is there any problem with Cao Wei, sir? Now that Cao Pi has just ascended the throne, his foundation is not stable. If the situation on His Majesty's side is ruined, he must not dare to act rashly!"

"I mean, have you ever thought about why Cao Pi came to the throne?"

Zhuge Liang asked suddenly.

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Ma Di was even more puzzled, "Have you forgotten, sir? At the beginning, General Guan sent a letter to the lord, saying that the Xuchang mutiny, Cao Pi's rebellion, usurped the position of his father Cao Cao, that's why he came to the throne. ?”

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Although it looks like this on the surface, have you ever thought about the reason?"

After hearing this, Ma Su pondered for a while, then shook his head, "The student is stupid, I really don't understand what Mr. is worried about!"

Zhuge Liang glanced at him, with a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, "Young Chang, when you look at things, you can't just look at the surface, and you can't just look at the situation in front of you, but also analyze the undercurrent of the situation. It is true that Cao Pi usurped the throne. The emperor is true, but have you ever thought about it, for so many years, every son of Cao Cao has been presenting mountains and dews, the third son Cao Zhi is proficient in poetry, literature and Fu, the fourth son Cao Zhang is as brave as a fellow, and the eldest son Cao Ang is even more famous in Cao Su I have been by my side for so many years, and I am the leader of both the Longtan Army and the Shenji Battalion, but this Cao Pi is the only one who has not been heard of for a long time!"

Ma Di was reprimanded by Zhuge Liang, and his face was a little unconvinced, "Mr., is it a little too worried? Maybe Cao Pi is like his father who knows how to endure and secretly accumulate strength, so that he was able to get this supreme position at the most critical moment!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "I thought so too at first, so I've been investigating Cao Pi's whereabouts over the years, but I didn't find anything special about him, or..."

"He has no such opportunity to accumulate strength at all. If it were you, would you be able to seek rebellion under the eyes of a hero like Cao Cao?"

Ma Di's expression changed slightly, and he became a little dignified, "It seems...impossible!"

Zhuge Liang continued:

"Cao Cao is a hero in the world. Back then, he was killed from among Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and many princes of the eighteen towns who were several times stronger than him. If he could kill a bloody path from these people, how could he not be capable today? "

"What's more, he, Cao Aman, claims to kill people in his dreams. How can such a cautious and suspicious person fail to notice that Cao Pi is secretly cultivating strength?"

When Ma Di heard this, his face turned pale, and his forehead was slightly sweating.

Zhuge Liang's analysis directly hit the pain points, which were all things he had never considered, and now being brought up by him, made him feel confident and sweat instantly.

"What do you mean, sir..."

Zhuge Liang got up slowly, his eyes were very solemn, "I found a person from these investigations, a person who played the most important role in Cao Pi's rebellion and usurpation!"

"Who?"

"Sima Yi!"

"Sima Yi? Is that Sima Zhongda?"

"That's right!"

Zhuge Liang turned his head to look at Ma Di, "Sima Yi was a few years ago when he became an official. He was accepted by Cao Cao and became Cao Pi's mentor. Later, for unknown reasons, he was released by Cao Cao outside the city of Xuchang. During this period, Cao Pi met Sima Yi many times, but Cao Cao was not alerted, which means that Cao Cao was indeed guarding against Sima Yi, but he did not detect any actual actions on him!"

"Then... what does this mean?"

Ma Di still couldn't figure out why Zhuge Liang was so wary of Sima Yi.

Zhuge Liang glanced at him, "This is enough to show that Sima Yi is a terrible person. He can instigate Cao Cao's local forces in Xuchang under Cao Cao's nose, and even accumulate rebellious forces under his nose. Even Cao Cao has never Can detect, do you think this kind of person is not strong enough?"

Hearing this, Ma Su's face turned pale again, and after thinking for a while, he said with a dry smile, "Sir, tell me... Could this be a play directed and acted by Cao Cao?"

Zhuge Liang was slightly taken aback, "Why do you have such an idea?"

Ma Di quickly said, "Look at the fierce battle between Cao Cao and us in Hanzhong. His army of 50 went out without food, which is enough to make people suspicious, and then there was the Jingzhou Change!"

"Accordingly, he and Sun Quan joined forces to attack Jingzhou, so why did Jingzhou become Sun Quan's but not Cao Pi's afterward? Could it be that they would not want such a fat piece of Jingzhou? Naturally, they wanted to pour the trouble on Sun Quan, and then Cao Pi had just established a new army, and his unstable foundation attracted His Majesty to attack Sun Quan, and then Cao Cao sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight in secret, and took advantage of us to fight with Sun Quan's two armies, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

After the words fell, Zhuge Liang showed a thoughtful look on his face, but quickly shook his head, "That won't be the case!"

"Why?" Ma Di's speculation was overturned again, and he felt very confused.

Zhuge Liang said:
"If this was really Cao Cao's trickery, then Cao Su would not have appeared in Xuchang City to rescue Cao Ang on purpose. Cao Ang was captured by Master Sima. If it was really a play on the spot, then Cao Cao would never have killed his son, but Cao Pi... would !"

"The most important thing is that Cao Cao will never allow Cao Pi to proclaim himself emperor. Although this world thief is cunning and treacherous, at this point, he will never cross this red line!"

Hearing this, Ma Su suddenly realized, and cupped his hands again and again, "Mr. said it in time, the student is stupid!"

Zhuge Liang said, "I'm very pleased that you can think of this. Just now I said that you only looked at the surface, and it was my fault!"

After being praised by Zhuge Liang, the expression on Ma Su's face eased a lot, and he said with a faint smile:

"Sir, the award is too high. The students are still too immature compared to the gentleman. Then dare to ask the gentleman, what should we do now? Should we continue to persuade His Majesty?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "It's irreversible, we must fully support His Majesty, there is no other choice!"

Seeing that there was no room for turning around, Ma Su's face became serious again, "Sir, your Majesty's doing this, isn't it..."

"I know what you want to say, go down!"

"gentlemen……"

"Get out!"

Ma Su wanted to continue, but was scolded by Zhuge Liang, making him stop immediately, looking at Zhuge Liang with a surprised expression!

In his opinion, Zhuge Liang seldom got so angry, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only nod his hands with an ugly face!
"promise!"

After Ma Di retreated, Zhuge Liang sat down slowly on the ground, looked out the window dully, couldn't help laughing at himself, and murmured to himself:
"Youchang, you just want to say that the lord just skipped me and ordered the old ministers in the middle of Shu to do things. Hehe, I have been with the lord for so many years, I didn't expect it... Sigh, I hope this attack on Wu will have a good result. Well, otherwise... the people of Shuzhong will suffer again!"
