Whether Sima Shi wants to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne or not, this is naturally not something that Cao Liang can control, but this abolition of the establishment gave Cao Liang an excuse to crusade against Sima Shi.

  Of course, it doesn't matter if there is an excuse for Cao Lianglai, after pacifying Liaodong, the main force of the Bingzhou army has already returned to Youzhou, Cao Liang is already preparing to make a move on Jizhou, only by taking Jizhou, can he unify the north of the Yellow River and have the strength to fight against Sima Shi.

  Therefore, regardless of whether Sima Shi abolished the emperor or not, Cao Liang's preparations for attacking Jizhou have been completed, and the arrow is ready to be sent at any time.

  And Sima Shi's abolition of the emperor this time gave Cao Liang another opportunity, after all, the subordinates still respect the son, and Sima Shi's move to abolish the emperor will inevitably be opposed by many people, which is a matter of popular will.

  If there was no one to guide him properly, although Sima Shi's actions were met with most hostility, they were scattered after all, and it was impossible to pose any threat to Sima Shi.

  And at this time, if someone can raise their arms and shout and rejuvenate the master, the subordinates will inevitably rise up in groups, and it will be a major blow to the prestige of Sima Shi.

  This seems to have become a consensus for thousands of years, Sima Shi is good at abolishing the establishment, which has pushed Cao Wei's Jiangshan Sheji to a point of no return, and now what Cao Liang has to do is to set things right and save the dangerous Cao Wei Sheji from the danger of overturning.

  It is an unshirkable responsibility to help the building fall and turn the tide around, and Cao Liang, as the Cao clan, has an unshirkable responsibility.

  Cao Liang said to Huan Fan: "Then there is a labor division, go down to find someone to write an article to denounce Sima Shi's usurpation, so that the next person can see Sima Shi's true face." ”

  Cao Liang has a lot of pens under his hands, Pei Xiu, Fu Xuan and others can write a good article, Cao Liang handed over the matter of the article to Huan Fan, and he will go down to arrange it.

  Huan Fan was about to receive the order, but Xiahou Xuan took the initiative to say: "The matter of the Wenwen, the lord will hand it over to his subordinates, and he will definitely ensure that the lord is satisfied." ”

  Xiahou Xuan took the initiative to ask for help, which made Cao Liang a little surprised, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he was relieved, Xiahou Xuan is also a master of scripture in the world, a leader among literati, and it is probably more suitable for him to write this essay.

  Xiahou Xuan and the Sima family have a deep hatred, writing this article is just to relieve the emotions that Xiahou Xuan has suppressed for many years, since returning to Luoyang, Xiahou Xuan has been living in the shadow of the Sima family, cautious, aggrieved, for fear that if one is not careful, his head will move.

  Even Xiahou Xuan, in order to avoid implicating others, lived in seclusion, and tried not to have any contact with other people as much as possible, you must know that Xiahou Xuan used to be a celebrity in the imperial court, a leader of the metaphysical school, and the guests who came and went were like a city, and finally fell to the point of being like a cluster, and even he was probably aggrieved to the extreme.

  After escaping to Bingzhou this time, Xiahou Xuan can finally be regarded as able to raise his eyebrows, no longer have to be coerced by others, no longer have to look at people's faces, he can speak freely and do what he wants without scruples.

  As soon as he heard that Cao Liang was about to write a letter against Sima Shi, Xiahou Xuan immediately came to his senses, isn't this exactly what he is good at? Taking this opportunity, Xiahou Xuan can also vent his emotions, national hatred, family hatred, personal grievances, and it is strange not to scold Sima Shi for blood.

  Cao Liang handed over the matter of the text to Xiahou Xuan to take charge of, and he immediately summoned all the strategists and generals in the city to discuss the strategic plan to defeat Sima Shi and march into Jizhou.

  Entering Jizhou, a few years ago has been included in Cao Liang's strategic planning, Jizhou is the largest state in the north, both in terms of population and economy, is second to none, and winning Jizhou will also greatly increase the bargaining chips of the confrontation between the state army and the Sima army.

  If Wuqiu Jian hadn't had an accident at the beginning, Cao Liang would not have had the need to enter Youzhou, but could join forces with Wuqiu Jian and send troops at the same time to take Jizhou.

  But later, because Wuqiu Jian was killed by Wang Ji, the situation in Youzhou changed greatly, and Cao Liang had to delay the plan to attack Jizhou, first send troops to Youzhou, first clean up Wei Qian and Wang Ji, and then turn around and then consider dealing with Jizhou.

  After the end of the battle of Jinzhong, it was the weakest time for the Sima clan, and Jizhou was almost empty, if Cao Liang took advantage of the situation to attack Jizhou at that time, it would obviously be more difficult.

  But now the situation has completely changed, not only has Sima Jun's vitality recovered a lot, but Jizhou's defense system has also been greatly strengthened, for Cao Liang, Jizhou will be the most difficult hard bone to gnaw.

  But no matter how difficult it is, Cao Liang can't change his original intention, in fact, every time he competes with the Sima family, Cao Liang treats it with a decisive attitude, from the battle of Shangdang to the battle of Jinyang, every battle, Cao Liang goes all out, because the enemy is strong and I am weak, he can't afford to lose.

  The Sima family lost a battle, and they still have the capital to recover, but if Cao Liang loses, there will be no place to stand, so Cao Liang will conscientiously fight every battle, accumulate capital for himself step by step, and accumulate victory into a big victory.

  In order to attack Jizhou, Cao Liang has been preparing for nearly a year, and now the armor is sufficient, the grain and grass are complete, and he can wave his army to the east until an order is given.

  At present, the field corps of the state army is still maintained at the scale of nine battalions, but the difference is that the establishment of each battalion has been expanded from 10,000 to 15,000, and the total strength has also increased from 90,000 to 135,000. Of course, the 5,000 additional personnel in each battalion are not pure combatants, but more often a lot of auxiliary troops, which has greatly improved the army's logistical supply and support capabilities.

  In the past, the operation of the state army was basically carried out on the mainland, and the pressure of logistics supply support was comparative, but after entering the Youzhou operation, especially the long-distance attack on Liaodong, the state army was faced with increased pressure on logistics supply, and if the supply of grain and grass materials could not be effectively solved, then no matter how strong the army was, it would be weak in the end and the attack would be weak.

  Therefore, when he marched to Youzhou, Cao Liang had already grasped this problem and equipped the three major cavalry battalions with sufficient logistics support detachments, so that the three cavalry battalions had no worries at all when fighting.

  And this successful experience was also extended to other infantry battalions, which were fully prepared for the expedition of the state army.
