But so what?

After all, no one will give up the cotton fields that they have obtained, because giving up means withdrawing from the cotton planting industry.

Look at the tyrants of Yongliang, just because they joined the wool textile industry a few years earlier than others. Now at least 30% of the wool textile workshops of Dahan belong to them.

30% belong to the Xinghan Association and the powerful people closely related to the Xinghan Association.

One percent belongs to the royal family.

The last 10% is to share the rest.

If the Guandong tribes like Taiyuan, Hedong and Henan are not suppressed by Guanxi forces such as Yongliang in the future, they must hold cotton planting firmly in their hands.

They have paid too much sunk costs, and they cannot and will not be willing to take back the last minute.

Kansai Mao, Kanto Mian; between Xinghanhui and Royal Station, one is in the wild and the other is in the court.

This is the balance designed by Sima Feng - with selfish intentions, continuing to restrict the power of the monarch, and trying to make the power structure of the Han Dynasty move towards the direction of the monarch being empty and the minister being real.

Not only for oneself, but also for the descendants of my brother-in-law.

In the future, some people may escape when they are hung with street lights. If you are more clear-headed, at least there is a certain probability that the whole family will not die.

Of course, balance is used to break it, but Sima Feng does not need to consider this issue.

Anyway, it wasn't him who was hung with street lights.

He was killed by someone to die. What was he afraid of?

——

Sima Yi's defeat and withdrawal from Hebei caused a storm to be brewing in Hebei, but Yanzhou and Qingzhou in the south of the Greater Henan had already caused huge waves.

"Master, Master, it's not good, it's not good!"

In the dilapidated Jibei Palace, a servant rolled and crawled back to the mansion from outside, and said to Jibei King Cao Zhi with panic on his face:

"News came from the East County that Sima Taifu was ambushed by the Han army in Yanjin, and more than half of his troops were damaged and he had retreated south."

"Now it's all rumored in the city, saying that Yanzhou is afraid of falling into the hands of the Han State, and the Han army has already fought here."

Cao Zhi, who was covered in wine, glared at the servant and scolded loudly:

"How dare the vulgar slaves do this nonsense? Sima Taifu led a large army to cross the river south, and if he wanted to go, he would also go to the Baima Crossing. At most, there was a side army. How could there be a saying that more than half of the troops were lost?"

"This is just a rumor that can disrupt people's eyes and ears, but you can't retreat quickly!"

Sima Taifu was defeated and wanted to lead tens of thousands of troops - some people say it was tens of thousands - to get rid of the Han army's pursuit and rush to cross the Jinkou. A white horse was definitely not enough.

So there will inevitably be some people going to Yanjin.

But no matter if it is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, as long as Sima Taifu is not dizzy, it is impossible to regard Yanjin, which is closer to Luoyang, as the main ferry.

Therefore, in Cao Zhi's view, it is not a fact that the army and horses were lost more than half in Yanjin.

When the servant heard this, he did not obediently retreat, but cried and persuaded:

"King, even if it is spreading rumors, it is true that the Taifu's defeat and lost to Hebei."

"It will be a matter of time before Hebei is lost, and the Han army may cross Henan and move south, or raise troops to advance east."

"Although Jibei is seven hundred miles away from Yanjin, the Taifu is defeated and may not be able to defend the White Horse. The Han army's iron cavalry is seven days fast and half a month slower, and then it will reach Jibei."

"There are only more than a hundred soldiers in Jibei. How can the king stop him? Please plan it early!"

Cao Wei was very strict in custody of the royal princes, especially for a strong competitor like Cao Zhi who had participated in the struggle for succession.

Although Cao Pi did not kill Cao Zhi due to the endless mouths of the world, he must have hated Cao Zhi in his heart and punished him even more.

"I was granted the title of Juancheng Hou and transferred to Yongqiu. I encountered wasteland... After ten years of separation, I was still guarding the sky, and I was hungry and cold."

When he was conferred the title of King Dong'a, "the mulberry fields were unemployed, the people were poor, and they were living a life of nude."

As for the guards of the Central People's Republic of China, "but there are still children who are seven or eight years old, and who are sixteen years old, and who are more than thirty."

"There are thirty-seven people who are old and lying in bed, not eating, not seeing, and have no breath. Twenty-three people who are tired and scarred, and those who are blind and deaf.

"Only, this child is required. The older one can prepare a guard. Although it is not enough to defend the enemy, the younger one can warn the enemy. The younger one is not able to be ambassadors, so that they can weave dirty weeds and drive away birds."

Not only did Cao Zhi do this, but also other officials of the same clan were also "specially set up defense and auxiliary officials to monitor them, which is the literary defense and auxiliary."

However, with the continuous loss of troops and territory during the Cao Rui period, the Cao Wei court had to focus on fighting against Ji Han and relaxed the supervision of the princes and kings.

After Cao Rui's death, the struggle between the general Cao Shuang and the Grand Tutor Sima Yi became fierce, and the chaos and division in Cao Wei became more and more obvious.

When the pseudo-Wei court moved to Qiao County, the supervision of the vassal states was in vain.

Although Cao Zhi has been addicted to drinking and ignored the world over the years, he has still increased his Jibei Kingdom Guard from dozens to more than a hundred in the name of "defending the enemy and police robbers".

After all, in recent years, the King of Jibei has had a way to get Ji Han’s luxury goods, and his wealth has increased slightly. He recruited dozens of guards to prevent thieves. It is reasonable and reproachable.

At this moment, when he heard the servant's persuasion, the King of Jibei who was drunk all day long was immediately furious:

"I am the grandson of Emperor Wu. The thief comes to block it. How can the thief abandon the country and flee in the future? Go quickly to summon all the guards and distribute weapons. I will lead the troops and attack the thief in person."

"this……"

"You won't go!"

Cao Zhi threw away the wine pot, turned around and pulled out the sword from the wall in anger.

When the servant saw that the King of Jibei was so angry, he quickly responded and quickly went to call someone.

When the literary defense auxiliary official learned about the movement of the Jibei Palace, his face changed drastically and hurried to ask for the Jibei Palace.

When he saw that King Jibei was already covered in armor, his face turned pale and asked:

"What is the king trying to do?"

The King of Jibei slowly tidied up his armor, then looked at the defense assistant, completely losing his previous drunkenness:

"What to do? Naturally, we are gathering guards and working for the country."

"King, without His Majesty's will, the King is not allowed to call the Suwei to conduct the conquest without authorization. Have you forgotten?"

"Your Majesty? Which Majesty? Are you talking about the puppet Majesty, who is controlled by a powerful minister in Qiao County, who has to do things according to Cao Shuang's face?"

Cao Zhi burst into laughter, and tears were about to come out:

"Cao Fang doesn't know where Emperor Ping was the adopted son of the palace. He was promoted to the emperor at the age of seven and has been in power for ten years, right? The government is all out of the general. Do you want us to wait for the will of His Majesty?"

When the literary defense officer heard Cao Zhi's rebellious words, he couldn't help but point his hand at Cao Zhi and shouted:

"Will the king want to rebel?"

"Clang!"

"Swish!"

A cold light flashed, and Cheng pointed at Cao Zhi's two fingers, which were cut off and fell to the ground.

"ah……"

The literary defense assistant screamed, covered his hands, and cold sweat came down.

Cao Zhi pointed his sword at the other party and said murderously:

"My Cao family's country was corrupted by you foreign ministers! I lost Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Sili, and now Youji."

"Now you don't let me summon the guards, but instead let me wait for the will of the yellow-mouthed child. What's the difference between letting me wait for death on the spot?"

"Over the years, the court should have sent people to you. I'm afraid you have written a lot of secret letters to send them to Qiao County? Have you ever responded?"

"Wake up! Qiao County is afraid that he will be unable to take care of himself when he loses in Hebei. Who else would pay attention to this place?"

"In terms of seniority, I am Your Majesty's uncle. I summon troops to defend the country. Whether to rebel or not is it also the family affairs of Cao's family. Is it your turn to speak, an outsider?"

"roll!"

The literary defense auxiliary official looked pale, and I don’t know if it hurts or was touched by Cao Zhi’s words.

If it were before, Cao Zhizhen would dare to say this, it would be no different from seeking death.

But now, the people of the Great Wei are in panic and in chaos, and he knows his own affairs.

The court has indeed ignored this place for several years.

I also seem to have become a forgotten person by the court.

Seeing Cao Zhi stepping out, the literary defense auxiliary retreated silently.

——

As the defeated soldiers in Hebei crossed the river, they were defeated by the Han army from Luoyang in Yanjin, and the northern part of Yanzhou was in chaos.

Many powerful and powerful families followed Sima Yi and fled south in panic, heading towards Qiao County.

At this time, Cao Zhi, the son of King Chen Si, stood up as the grandson of Emperor Wu and King Jibei, and summoned troops to defend the country.

He even refused to disobey the court system and led his army north without the emperor's decree, hoping to restore the old capital Yecheng.

Although King Jibei was good at cavalry and shooting, he had only more than a hundred soldiers and was soon defeated by the Han army, and his whereabouts were unknown in the end.

"Nephew Cao Zhi, pay homage to my uncle."
