Chapter 255
If Sima Yi's plan could succeed, then at that time, he might become a more terrifying existence than Cao Ang.
Of course, Dong Cheng only had such an idea in his mind for a moment.
Soon, he shook his head and put such an idea behind him.
Because if you think about it carefully, such a thing is almost impossible to happen. Even if Sima Yi has a wisdom comparable to that of a god, he does not have the unparalleled military force and the military tactics of Cao Ang.
So even if Sima Yi's plan succeeds at that time, it is nothing more than expanding the power and influence of the Sima family, but it cannot overturn the power of the court like the father and son of the Cao family.
Because at that time, even if the Sima family wants to hold power alone, there are other families in the world who will not agree. Dong Cheng has seen the temperament of these families relatively clearly.
So he nodded lightly, indicating that he knew about this matter, and began to walk towards the direction of Shanyang City.
Soon after, Dong Cheng returned to Shanyang City, and the Shanyang citizens who had originally scattered to both sides outside the city, and the private soldiers of the aristocratic families hidden in it, surrounded the city gate again.
Seeing Dong Cheng coming back, another envoy of the delegation, Shaofu Kong Rong, was the first to greet him, with an anxious look on his face: "How is it? How is the negotiation going?
Dong Cheng looked at Kong Rong in front of him, who was called a gentleman by the people of the world, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
If it weren't for Sima Yi's hint that Kong Rong also had an unclear relationship with this matter, I'm afraid Dong Cheng would have been deceived by Kong Rong's face.
Think about it, although Kong Rong is an official of the court, he is from the Kong family, one of the oldest families in the world today. How could he betray the position of the family?
So Dong Cheng also acted out the play, and said in front of the soldiers sent by Cao Ang around him: "I went to the mountains and forests outside and negotiated with the leader of the rebels outside the city.
I tried to persuade these people to leave on their own and not do such things that would not benefit the rebellion.
But the leaders of the rebels refused my persuasion, claiming that they would not leave unless the court gave up measuring the mountains, rivers, minerals, and land of the people in Shanyang and Henei.
Otherwise, they would never leave, and even these rebels shouted arrogantly: If we do not agree to their demands, they will attack the city. ”

After hearing Dong Cheng’s answer, Kong Rong’s face showed even more anxiety: “Oh, what can we do? There are tens of thousands of rebels outside the city, and the court has only 3,000 soldiers and horses sent inside Shanyang.
Look at the tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city, and there are also some trainedWell-trained private soldiers and elite troops, this is obviously some of the local aristocratic families in Shanyang County, trying to show off their power to the court. "
Although Kong Rong was pretending, he was right in one sentence, that is, there were only 3,000 soldiers in Shanyang County at this time, although Cao Ang sent them 10,000 soldiers when they set out from Xudu.
But the entire Henei County is so large, not to mention the nearby Taiyuan County. After Dong Cheng and Kong Rong arrived here, they dispersed most of the 10,000 soldiers under their command in the name of clearing accounts for land.
Among them, Taiyuan County sent 5,000 troops and sent 2,000 troops to other cities in Henei County except Shanyang County, leaving less than 3,000 troops in Shanyang County.
The rebels outside the city were ten times more numerous than the soldiers inside the city, and Cao Ang asked Dong Cheng and his men to bring mostly cavalry... individual...
