"General, I have been watching this matter. However, in the past few days, Ma Deheng only built the Thunderbolt Car and came to report his merits."

Deng Yang carefully observed Cao Shuang's expression while organizing his words:

"I was thinking, didn't Emperor Wu already own this Thunderbolt Chariot? So I asked him to build everything on the drawing and then submit it to the general."

After hearing this, Cao Shuang nodded and said:

"I see, I thought those tools have already been made."

Seeing Cao Shuang's unconcerned expression, Deng Yang finally realized that the general was not asking him about this matter.

He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After relaxing, he remembered that Ma Jun and others actually bypassed him and went directly to the general, and Deng Yang couldn't help but feel even more hatred.

"General, Ma Deheng is just building the Thunderbolt Chariot that Emperor Wu had at the time, and he is so eager to take credit."

"It can be seen that although he has dexterous skills, he is just a person with shallow knowledge after all. Only the fugitive from Shu, according to the current investigation, there is no flaw."

"We just need to find out the relevant information about Guanzhong, and then we can confirm the identity. Then I will ask the general to make careful arrangements."

As expected, Cao Shuang's attention was diverted by Deng Yang, and he asked with interest:

"Oh, so speaking of which, it is possible that the Shu captive who surrendered was the former leader of the Ge rebel?"

"The possibility is not small."

If he didn't have to wait for news from Guanzhong, I'm afraid he would be sure now.

Because the Jiangren could not only tell in detail all kinds of things happening in the territory of the Shu captives, but also corroborate them one by one with the information mastered by the Wei Dynasty.

And he also knew the Shu captives very well.

There was even some extremely shocking news:

Thief Feng was so lustful that he specially set up a women's camp, euphemistically called the Women's Guard Camp, which was dedicated to his sexual pleasures on weekdays.

"The rumor that Feng Thief is the ghost king and controls three thousand women at night turns out to be not groundless."

Cao Shuang sighed.

Why is there even a hint of envy in your tone?

Deng Yang said to Cao Shuang:

"Although Yang doesn't know about soldiers, he also knows that women are not allowed to be hidden in the army. Otherwise, military discipline may be ruined. When soldiers go into battle, they only worry about the women's property behind the battle. How can they be willing to kill the enemy?"

Cao Shuang nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xuan Mao's words make sense."

Deng Yang continued:

"Thief Feng, a man with such a corrupt moral character, could actually become a Shu general. This shows that even if the Shu captives can be strong for a while, they will not be able to last long in the future."

"Xuan Mao's words are truly profound!"

The Ge thieves are gone, and the Feng thieves are the worry of the Wei Dynasty.

I heard that when the Wei army heard the name Feng Thief, their expressions changed.

Now that he suddenly learned about Feng Thief's weakness, Cao Shuang couldn't help but be overjoyed and said:

"We should inform the generals of the army about this news and let them know that Thief Feng really has nothing to fear."

"General, I'll see you soon."

As a result, Feng Junhou, who was on patrol in Hedong, was given the bad reputation of being a promiscuous womanizer and a promiscuous woman.

"Thief Feng is just a prostitute, so there's nothing to fear?"

Upon learning that such rumors were circulating in the general's palace, Liu Fang and Sun Zi looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.

To be honest, when things got to this point, the two of them already felt a little regretful.

The main reason for pushing Cao Shuang to come to power was to prevent the two of them from being liquidated by political opponents such as Cao Zhao.

Secondly, it is naturally because Cao Shuang has a weak temper, does not have much independent opinions, and is easy to control.

What the two of them didn't expect was that their main goal was indeed achieved.

But the side effects are quite serious.

When Cao Rui was originally there, although the Wei state suffered repeated defeats, the foundation of the throne was unstable and the emperor's prestige was insufficient.

But he could still use the Shangshutai and the Zhongshu Province to balance the forces between the DPRK and China to avoid major chaos.

Now that Cao Shuang has become the general, he records the affairs of the minister, and there are three Taichung dogs as minions in the minister's desk.

Naturally, he values ​​Shangshu Taiwan far more than Zhongshu Province.

In addition, Zhongshu Sheng no longer has the support of the emperor, or in other words, the emperor of Wei is now young and has no personal power.

Zhongshu Sheng, which was originally positioned as the emperor's secretary, naturally lost its power support in name.

At the beginning, Cao Shuang respected both of them and was at least willing to listen to their opinions.

But when three mad dogs appeared in the Chancellery, things gradually changed.

However, Sun and Liu were also mentally prepared for this matter.

After all, when they supported Cao Shuang to come to power, they were looking for a way out.

Besides, the two of them are getting older. As long as they can survive the past few years, they will gradually withdraw from the court.

No matter who comes to power in the future, as long as their interests are not involved, given their qualifications and the officials in the court, how much respect should they have?

This plan is quite good.

But the two really underestimated Cao Shuang's incompetence and the madness of the Taichung Three Dogs.

"There is indeed a person named Yang Yi in the history of Ge Thief. How important is his identity? Now that Yang Yi has come to surrender not long after Ge Thief died, Cao Zhaobo (Cao Shuang) should confirm his identity as soon as possible."

"If it is true, then he should be treated with great courtesy to show the court's magnanimity, and at the same time, it should be publicized widely to attack the thieves' military morale and the people's morale."

Liu Fang said with some dissatisfaction:

"It's good now. Not only are we still unsure about the identity of the descendant, but we also dare to say that Feng Thief is not something to be afraid of? It's simply ridiculous!"

Is Feng Thief not something to be afraid of?

Could it be that when the Wei Dynasty lost Longyou, Liangzhou, and Guanzhong, they all fell into the hands of the Shu captives?

"To ignore the root cause and focus on the last detail is nothing more than short-sightedness!"

Sun Zi was also dissatisfied:

"If this continues, will the empire built by the three generations of the Wei Dynasty be destroyed in their hands? Then the Wei Dynasty and the people will be restless, and the Shu captives will take advantage of the opportunity to break in. We, the old ministers, will have no face to face Emperor Wu! "

For the two of them, it doesn't matter who is in power in the Wei Dynasty, as long as they are not political enemies. It doesn't matter if the Wei Dynasty changes its master.

As long as the two of them continue to enjoy prosperity and wealth.

"I heard that the people who surrendered from Shu also brought the method of making sharp weapons for the Shu army. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Compared to the second and third generations like Cao Shuang and others who have enjoyed fine clothing and food since childhood and have never been in a battle, Sun and Liu have experienced four dynasties and have seen and heard how much better they are.

In addition, the Zhongshu Province where the two of them were located was responsible for important confidential matters.

The Wei Dynasty was repeatedly defeated at the hands of the Shu captives. According to the confidential military reports sent from the front, there was countless news about the Shu captives' heavy armor and powerful crossbows.

As Taifu Sima Yi said: "Although a horse stirrup is very simple, it can train three years of cavalry for the Shu captives, which can be compared with ten years of veterans of the Wei Dynasty."

Another example is the battle at Xiaoguan. An army reported that the Shu captives were throwing stones, which were like huge thunder falling in the sky above the city, making the defenders terrified and afraid to fight.

In the Battle of Guanzhong, Sima Yi gave up Chang'an easily, not only because Feng thief threatened his back, but also because it was rumored that the Shu captives had siege weapons that could easily smash the city walls.

It doesn't matter whether the Shu captive is Yang Yi or not, but if he can really come up with so many techniques for crafting weapons from the Shu captive army, his identity will definitely not be simple.

Cao Shuang didn't pay any attention to it, he was like a dog!

Sun Zi's eyes flashed coldly:

"Cao Zhaobo has gone too far! But now, everyone inside and outside Xuchang is controlled by him. The Three Dogs of Taichung have repeatedly tried to seize power from Zhongshu Province. We are afraid that we must not act rashly at the moment."

Liu Fang nodded and said:

"The two of us are not ministers assisting the government, and we must not quarrel with them."

Not to mention that Cao Shuang, as a general, had the power to assist the government and also controlled the imperial army.

Even his surname alone is enough to suppress the two of them in terms of justice.

The only person who can compete with the auxiliary minister is naturally the auxiliary minister.

The two of them knew each other's thoughts without any unnecessary words.

"In the past few days, Sima Zishang (Sima Zhao), the second son of the Grand Tutor, has been quite active in Xuchang and has sent greetings to my mansion many times."

Liu Fang stroked his beard and said slowly:

"He can be considered our nephew. If we always turn him away like this, I'm afraid some people will say that we bully the small."

Sun Zi nodded: "Exactly, I have also received several greetings from him at my house. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so it is okay to meet him if I have the opportunity."

Liu Fang nodded in agreement: "That's fine."
