Chapter 69: Shock
Yuan Yun is now very self-blaming, the sneak attack on Yuan's mansion can actually be prevented, after Sima Yi's two brothers were arrested, they should be vigilant, and about the previous copper coin price, it has recently been completely implemented, the imperial court received the copper mines in southern Xinjiang, and began to mint a large amount of currency, which instantly made Sima Yi's plan that had been reserved for many years completely disappear.
After the war of copper coins, in addition to Sima Yi, many nobles in the north were almost bankrupt, and Sima Yi would inevitably make a desperate bet without strong financial support, which could have been judged.
Sima Yi's pretending to be sick still affected Yuan Yun's mind after all, because after knowing the truth, Yuan Yun was still a little negative and did not actively face Sima Yi, which led to today's end.
Looking at Cao Ang who kept walking around, Yuan Yun didn't say a word, since he was recruited, the first person to speak could only be Cao Ang's questioning.
Cao Ang's nervousness is nothing more than the personal use of gunpowder bullets, the assassin who attacked Yuan's mansion this time actually carried a large number of gunpowder bullets, causing Yuan's mansion to almost turn into ashes overnight, such an incident has never happened in Luoyang, and how powerful gunpowder is, Cao Ang knows very well.
"Don't hide anything from me, this incident is definitely not ordinary, I just want Yuan Hou to tell you honestly and clearly." Cao Ang's voice was very low, and it was obvious that he was really angry.
Yuan Yun glanced at the study room located in the harem slightly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that Cao Ang is really in a hurry, otherwise he would not let one of his courtiers come here directly to speak.
After thinking about it, Yuan Yun replied lightly: "Weichen rarely makes enemies in the government and the opposition, and those who want to deal with Weichen should have guessed how much Your Majesty should have guessed, right?" ”
didn't answer the rhetorical question, this was someone else, it was estimated that Cao Ang would immediately feel that it was disrespectful, but when he came to Yuan Yun, he felt that this was a sign of trust between the two, so the conversation seemed that the two still had a lot of friendship.
After hearing Yuan Yun's answer, Cao Ang's brows furrowed slightly, and he nodded after a long time: "Although I guessed that it was related to Zhong Da, I still didn't dare to be sure before I heard Yuan Hou's answer, after all, the only people who can use firearms are military personnel, Zhong Da is only in charge of civil affairs, and I have never let him interfere in military affairs, how can he get this batch of firearms?" ”
Yuan Yun was confused when he heard Cao Ang say this, and it was obvious that Sima Yi, Niu Jin and Guo Huai were wearing a pair of pants in the court, could it be that Cao Ang really didn't see any clues?
With a stomach full of questions, Yuan Yun replied cautiously: "The relationship between Guo Huai, Niu Jin and Sima Yi in the army, doesn't Your Majesty know?" ”
Cao Ang was stunned, shook his head and said: "Niu Jin is Sima Yi's engagement, Guo Huai I only heard the name some time ago, this person is recommended by Zhu Shuo, the leader of the central army, I have studied his ability to lead the army, and he is indeed a superior talent, so he was promoted and allowed to enter the court." ”
Yuan Yun was taken aback when he heard this, Zhu Shuo is a very low-key person who does not show mountains and rivers on weekdays, but when Cao Cao fought in the south and the north, he followed a member of the army and did not make any achievements, Cao Cao later thanked this person for his loyalty, so he handed over one of his forbidden troops to his command, and later Cao Ang moved the capital to Luoyang, and also thanked Zhu Shuo for his loyalty to the Cao family, and handed over Jizhou to his care.
Since Guo Huai was recommended by Zhu Shuo, then he must be related to Sima Yi, and thinking of some of the things that Sima Yi is doing in the north, this Zhu Shuo is probably even more critical, a general in charge of the military power in Jizhou, is not a joke.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yun immediately began to worry about Cao Zhang, who had already set out on the expedition, although Cao Zhang's official position was much higher than that of Zhu Shuo, but if he had a heart or not, he might suffer a big loss.
Now it can be confirmed that not only the military power in Jizhou has been in the hands of Sima Yi, but even the local aristocratic forces have become his henchmen, in this case, Sima Yi can really do whatever he wants in the north.
Just when Yuan Yun was worried, a eunuch walked in from the study, and immediately knelt down when he arrived, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, Sima Yi is not in the mansion, and the people in the mansion can't tell where he is. ”
Cao Ang was stunned, and immediately said very unhappily: "Could it be that he knows that he is at a loss, so he is ashamed to see me?" ”
After Yuan Yun heard the eunuch's words, his whole heart sank, and he had a very bad premonition, but he really couldn't figure out what was wrong, but he felt uncomfortable at the moment.
At this moment, I saw that the eunuch who came to report did not get up and leave after speaking, but continued to squat on the ground, and then Yuan Yun finally found the existence that made him uncomfortable, almost at the same time, the eunuch suddenly burst out, and there was an extra short crossbow in his hand, and what was even more terrifying was that in his other hand was a powder bullet that was sparking.
Bang!
A loud bang was heard.
Just when Yuan Yun touched the musket in his sleeve, he suddenly found that it had been taken away when he entered the palace, and at the same time, the explosion had already exploded, and Cao Ang was holding a short-barreled musket with white smoke, and his eyes were full of surprise.
The eunuch was shot in the left chest, and immediately a bloody hole was blasted out, and his whole body began to tilt to one side, but the gunpowder bullet in his hand was still sparking.
Yuan Yun couldn't think about it anymore, and threw himself in front of Cao Ang, except for his relatives at home, he never felt that anyone's life was more important than him, but when it came to such an urgent moment, he still made such a feat.
Rumble!
The entire study seemed to be torn apart in the explosion of gunpowder bombs, all kinds of fragments were scattered and splashed, and the furniture close to the eunuch's corpse was also shattered, but in such a scene, Yuan Yun felt that the world was unusually quiet, and only an inexplicable and sharp voice could not fade away for a long time.
When he felt all this, Yuan Yun suddenly reacted, and there was a feeling that proved that he was still alive, and when the voice in his ears had not disappeared, Yuan Yun hurriedly glanced at Cao Ang under him, and found that he was just torn out of his sleeve, and everything else was fine.
After confirming Cao Ang's safety, Yuan Yun looked back at the scene of the explosion just now, because he felt very puzzled, it was impossible for the two of them to survive such a big explosion.
Soon, the question was answered, Cao Ang's personal guards were indeed the most loyal guards, after Cao Ang's short-barreled musket rang out, the three guards rushed in, and when they saw the gunpowder bullet in the eunuch's hand, they didn't even think about it and pounced directly with their bodies.
Now the room was full of bloodstains, which was enough to prove the power of the explosion at that time, and the flesh and blood of the three guards and the eunuch had been mixed together, and it was impossible to distinguish them from each other at all.
Cao Ang had barely stood up at this time, but because the shock wave just now was too strong, causing him to have a slight concussion, he couldn't stand firm after trying several times, and Yuan Yun on the side was even more unbearable, and he could hardly do anything except lie on the ground and gasp.
After a while, a large number of guards finally poured over, and at this moment the wall of the study had fallen to one side, and these guards immediately surrounded Cao Ang in the middle when they arrived, and even Yuan Yun was isolated on the periphery.
Cao Ang rested for a while, and finally returned to some normal, so he came to Yuan Yun's side with the support of a guard, and didn't say anything, just patted Yuan Yun's shoulder vigorously, and his eyes were full of gratitude.
It wasn't until the two of them finally sat down in the other side hall that Cao Ang seemed to regain his ability to speak, and said, "What does Yuan Hou think?" ”
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, although Cao Ang asked very strangely, but he immediately replied: "Sima Yi." ”
Cao Ang's face was gloomy at the moment, and after hearing Sima Yi's three words, he immediately slapped the table and said fiercely: "I treat this person well, it's just a wolf......hearted"
After only scolding Cao Ang calmed down, and then continued calmly: "Sima Yi has always been steady, why would he suddenly do such an incredible thing, if he is so big today, there will be no place for him anymore, I really don't understand what he is thinking?" ”
Yuan Yun felt that what Cao Ang said was also very reasonable, even if Sima Yi was fully prepared in the north, could he still be stronger than the Sun and Liu families back then? I don't feel stunned when I think about it like this, it seems that although the body of this thing is not as bad as he played, it is definitely not much better, and it is estimated that he also knows that his death is not far away, so he is so desperate.
Just when Yuan Yun was thinking about things, Cao Ang had already issued several orders in a row, each of which was aimed at searching for Sima Yi, but whether he could catch this person, no one seemed to have any hope, since Sima Yi escaped in advance and asked people to assassinate Cao Ang, it proved that his preparations for escape were perfect.
"What happened, Yuan Hou didn't seem to tell me everything, is it that I am so untrustworthy now?" Cao Ang said again suddenly.
Yuan Yun sighed secretly, and then arched his hand: "Some things are just speculations, and it's not good to make judgments, so I didn't say anything." ”
When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately stretched out the torn cuffs, and then said in a deep voice: "Things have come to this point, why should Yuan Hou hide it?" ”
Yuan Yun sighed again, and then he roughly said the matter of Liaodong, the more Cao Ang listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, if there was really a rebellion in the north, and Liaodong would develop another Luoyang, it would definitely be a terrible thing.
"Wechen is worried about the ...... of gunpowder technique," Yuan Yun finally concluded.
Cao Ang immediately waved his hand and said, "This matter should be worry-free, now the gunpowder workshop is still managed by me alone, and the workshop can only enter but not exit, and the number of people every day must be checked, so there is no need to worry."
However, Zhu Shuo made me very worried, the garrisons in the north are equipped with a large number of firearms, once there is chaos, we will face soldiers who are similar to ours, and the battle damage must be very huge, such as the revival today, the most lack of manpower, if there is another firearms battle, the number of casualties is unimaginable. ”
Yuan Yun also knew very well that gunpowder had completely changed the mode of war, and now as long as there was a war, under the condition that the strength of the two sides was equal, the death toll would definitely be an astronomical number.
"Weichen thinks that even if Sima Yi and Zhu Shuo make trouble, there will probably not be too many people who will follow them......"
"I'm afraid it's not like we guessed, I forcibly moved the capital to Luoyang, but I offended many clans in the north, if they turn the spearhead to support the rebels, I don't feel strange at all, and most of the soldiers in the north were born among these nobles, if they choose to support the rebellion, they will inevitably fight against the court to the end." Cao Ang didn't wait for Yuan Yun to finish speaking, he had already told the truth, and after speaking, his brows furrowed even tighter, because a sudden shocking change was likely to happen soon.
