There was no turning back from the bow.

Even in the late Han Dynasty, when the style of Qing discussion prevailed, if the Second Emperor Huan Ling heard that someone was the emperor of all the princes, he would definitely have to arrest him and raze the three clans.

Li Fu was just Zhang Lu's subordinate general before, but this time he actually jumped out to show loyalty to Cao Pi, and quoted Zhang Tianshi's "I'd rather be a slave of the King of Wei than a guest of Liu Bei" to express his long-term loyalty to the King of Wei.

Although Cao Pi quickly dismissed Li Fu's recital, everyone can see it now.

Go on, King Wei liked it very much.

Next, the important ministers of the court couldn't sit still.

Liu Xia, Xin Bi, Liu Ye, Shangshu Ling Huanjie, Shangshu Chen Jiao, Chen Qun, Huangmen Shilang Wang Yu, Dong Yu and others played to Cao Pi one after another, saying that what Li Fu said before was good.

The operation of the second emperor of Huan Ling has made the Han Dynasty unable to continue, and if you don't ascend the throne, it will be difficult for the common people.

As soon as Cao Pi heard it, he said how could I be?

How can I be an emperor with this little ability?

Let's stop saying such rebellious words.

In order to prevent everyone from saying this kind of rebellious remarks again, Cao Pi deliberately listed the above table of the ministers and his own reply.

Let everyone look good, don't persuade yourself to be an emperor anymore!

Deng Ai in Luoyang City couldn't help but feel a little upset when he looked at this embarrassing scene.

He asked his benefactor next to him, Shi Sima Yi, who had just been transferred to prime minister, a little nervously:

"Why doesn't Changshi go to the book, persuade ...... Persuasion, persuasion, persuasion ......"

Sima Yi waved his hand and smiled gently:

"Take your time, don't rush."

Deng Ai swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and said slowly and calmly:

"Persuade the King of Wei to become emperor on behalf of Han?"

Sima Yi smiled kindly:

"This kind of thing also has a sequence, and it won't be my turn for the time being."

He stood under the porch with his hands in his hands, and sneered:

"In this matter, it is important to participate."

In the past few days, Sima Yi's old friends Chen Qun, Wu Zhen, Huan Jie, Xin Bi and others have been like crazy, and they almost rolled and begged Cao Pi to be emperor.

But Sima Yi behaved very calmly.

In the past few days, he has been discussing arms and martial arts with Deng Ai, occasionally taking his eldest son Sima Shi to Xiahou Shang's house to visit Xiahou Shang, who was actually under house arrest, or going to Xu Shu's mansion to talk to him.

As if this turmoil had nothing to do with him.

Today, he took Deng Ai to Xu Shu's house to play chess, and by the way, he was disgusted and disgusted by the way, this resourceful but capable minister who has always refused to do things for Cao Wei.

Xu Shu has become accustomed to Sima Yi's visit,

He untied the wooden sword from the wall and threw it to Sima Yi, moving his muscles and bones, and his body was awe-inspiring.

Deng Ai heard Sima Yi say that he went to Xu Shu's house to talk, and thought that the two were playing chess.

Unexpectedly, the two Confucian scholars actually raised the wooden swords in their hands, especially Xu Shu actually stood with two swords, and his eyes suddenly straightened.

Still fighting?

Sima Yi competed with Xu Shu before, but he couldn't beat him at all?

"Why didn't Yuan Zhi persuade him to enter?" Sima Yi swung his sword and stormed the middle gate of Xu Shu.

"King Wei won't let it, Xu Shu naturally doesn't dare."

Xu Shu let out a long roar, and lightly picked up Sima Yi's wooden sword,

The two swords in his hands were like flying, and he stabbed obliquely with his left hand and raised his right hand upward.

This exquisite swordsmanship made Deng Ai blurt out:

"Good...... It's so powerful, it's terrible! ”

Hey.

Sima Yi was beaten by Xu Shu in the previous competition with Xu Shu, but he has gradually learned Xu Shu's routines in the past few days, and he can still make a few moves with him.

However, Deng Ai obviously saw that Sima Yi's swordsmanship was mediocre, while Xu Shu's swordsmanship was indeed guided by a famous teacher, and he was ruthless, and his moves were all killing moves.

If it was a real sword, Sima Yi had already been stabbed out of several transparent holes by Xu Shu.

But because it is a wooden sword, Sima Yi can still fight back a little,

He endured the pain and fought with Xu Shu for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore:

"Stop ......"

He coughed dryly:

"It's almost, if Yuan Zhi has fought enough, can you...... Can you help me learn more about the previous events? ”

Xu Shu quickly threw away the long sword in his hand, stared at Sima Yi for a long time before he slowly spoke:

"Let's go inside."

Sima Yi nodded gently at Deng Ai, asked him to wait in the courtyard for a while, and entered Xu Shu's house by himself.

The two talked inside for an hour, and Deng Ai walked and walked in the small courtyard of Xu Shu's house with his hands behind his back.

Somehow, Deng Ai felt that the friendship between Xu Shu and Sima Yi was not good.

Xu Shu seems to have a very good opinion of Sima Yi, and every time he competes with Sima Yi, he goes all out, and seems to be ready to poke Sima Yi out of a few holes.

And Sima Yi didn't seem to care at all, after returning to Luoyang, he often chatted with Xu Shu, and the two secretly poked and poked to discuss some confidential matters.

These things are too far away from Deng Ai.

The only thing that worries him now is how to use his own skills.

How can we repay Sima Yi who has the grace of knowing him.

As soon as Sima Yi returned to Luoyang, he hurriedly recommended Deng Ai.

But when he returned to Luoyang, Xiahoudun had just died, and there was chaos in the court.

Cao Pi was about to ascend the throne as the king of Wei, and he was too lazy to see a small official that Sima Yi found from the fields.

Chen Qun, who was in charge of selecting scholars, saw that Sima Yi had brought a small official who was not amazing, and he immediately asked three questions.

"Where did you come from, what is your family background, can you have a celebrity to evaluate?"

Deng Ai: ......

When his family was in Jingzhou, he was barely a wealthy family,

But no one in the family has ever been an official, and the genealogy can only be found from several generations ago.

If it weren't for Sima Yi's face, he wouldn't have been able to walk in front of Chen Qun.

Chen Qun also served, and Sima Yi took a long vacation and actually went to his hometown in Yingchuan to find a stammering straw.

Is there no one in our Yingchuan?

He was in a very bad mood, and said directly to Sima Yi in front of Deng Ai:

"Zhongda, you have to think about it, this is the character that Ma Jian is looking for."

"Ma Yandu's favorite character, isn't it the world's talent? Isn't that as good as a Baume & Mercier review? ”

Chen Qun has a good relationship with Sima Yi, and he speaks more casually.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed:

"Who is Liu Chan?

Who is Ma Tan?

I'll talk about it after you think about it! ”

Sima Yi was helpless, so he could only let Deng Ai be a small official under his door first, and see if there was a chance to recommend him again in the future.

Ma Tan......

Deng Ai had a hunch that this person would become his future enemy.

After a long time, Sima Yi and Xu Shu finally came out of the house.

Sima Yi's face was full of spring breeze, but Xu Shu was still gloomy.

Rao is Deng Ai Duozhi, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"Shizai, do you want to lead the troops?"

On the way back, Sima Yi asked Deng Ai.

Deng Ai was stunned, and quickly nodded:

"Yes!"

He likes to study maps since he was a child, and these days he talks about military affairs with Sima Yi, and his understanding of the art of war has also been praised by Sima Yi.

Since you can't go out directly, it's better to go into battle to win meritorious deeds, and finally repay Sima Yi's kindness.

He hurriedly asked Sima Yi where he was going to send him to fight.

Sima Yi smiled kindly:

"The first time you led the troops, it was naturally easy first and then difficult-

I'll discuss it with King Wei, and you will go to Xinye to stock up, how about guarding against Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? ”

Deng Ai: ......

·

In the city of Chengdu, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have begun to hurry up the deployment of troops.

Cao Pi will definitely complete the procedure of usurping the Han Dynasty and becoming the emperor within the year, and Liu Bei will naturally not let him be satisfied, so he will sit in the position of the king of God in peace.

He made up his mind to launch a large-scale Northern Expedition, so that everyone in the world knew that the Han Dynasty was not finished, but became stronger and stronger, and also warned those who jumped up and down and encouraged Cao Pi to be emperor.

You are jumping up and down now, and the flesh and hemp that instigated Cao Pi to be the emperor will be evidence of crime in the future.

Wait for the Han to rise again, you see if I Liu Bei can't bear it, you will be finished.

Liu Bei's temper still has a little shadow of his youth, and it is always easy to fall into this kind of thing.

Zhuge Liang's thinking is a little more comprehensive,

He pondered for a moment and suggested that Liu Bei send an envoy to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan to send troops together to flank Cao Wei.

Of course, Sun Quan must be dealing with business again.

But as long as you deal with it, it is enough to contain Sun Quan's forces a little.

Besides, after the last war, Sun Quan's prestige has been somewhat restored, and Cao Pi will have to toss until the end of the year to complete this large number of preparations before ascending the throne, and Sun Quan can respond to Liu Bei after the autumn harvest and try to disturb someone's sleep in Hefei again.

Zhuge Liang suggested that Qin Mi, a talented man in Shu, be sent to carry out this task, and Liu Bei naturally agreed.

Next, it is the arrangement of your own troops.

According to Longzhong's strategy, the Northern Expedition must go in two directions at the same time.

Out of Hanzhong, attack Guanzhong, plus out of Jingzhou, go north to Wancheng and Luoyang.

Jingzhou is easy to say.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei happened to be together, and let the two of them lead the troops to attack together, Cao Wei would be so scared that his scalp would be numb.

On the Jiangling side, there is a team left by Liu Chan, presumably Sun Quan will not make the same problem again.

Next, it is the candidate for the leading general of the attack on Guanzhong.

"Naturally, it's a lonely parent." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

In Liu Bei's opinion, there is no need to think much about the candidates for attacking Guanzhong,

It must be on it yourself.

In the last small-scale Northern Expedition, he didn't bring many soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass were not sufficient, so he didn't attack when he saw that Cao Zhen and Zhang He had sufficient preparations.

But this time was different.

Since he wants to teach Cao Pi a hard lesson, the number of troops must not be too small, and he is confident that he will have a good competition with Cao Zhen and Zhang He.

But this time, Zhuge Liang shook his head gently.

"This time, it is not suitable for the prince to march.

The minister recommended the prince as a general, commanded the army, and sent troops to the Northern Expedition! ”

"Why?!" Liu Beiqi said,

"Adou is working hard in Nanzhong now, and I don't know when I will be able to return, why does the military advisor care about Adou?"

Liu Chan's southern expedition made Liu Bei quite concerned.

In his impression, Nanzhong was full of barbarians, fierce beasts, miasma, plagues, and all kinds of witches and demons.

In order to share his worries, Liu Chan directly led the army into the depths without saying a word, and it was not easy to settle the previous rebellion of Gao Ding and Yonghong and Zhu Bao, who were about to move.

He has been fighting since he left Chengdu last year.

Can't you just let him rest and let himself go into battle as a father?

Zhuge Liang shook his head slowly and said solemnly:

"If it was in the past, it was natural that the king personally sent troops to boost morale,

But not this time, within this year, the king and his ministers must sit in Chengdu, and there must be no carelessness. ”

"The rise and fall of the Han Dynasty is in one fell swoop.

For the sake of the big man, he had to grieve the prince again. ”
