Weidu.

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

All the ministers in the main hall gathered here, kneeling on both sides of the table, quietly listening to Cao Pi, the son of heaven, who was sitting on the Ming Hall, announcing the next step and strategy.

Since the news of the death of Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty gradually spread throughout the prefectures, it goes without saying that the court of the Wei State is dancing and celebrating with a crown.

Because with Liu Bei's death, it marks that their Great Wei will have one less enemy in the future.

As for Liu Chan...... But the people of Wei have not yet seen it.

"I heard that after the death of the big-eared thief, the successor to the throne is his eldest son Liu Chan, who is only young and ignorant, and his heart is still immature, but on the other hand, His Majesty is in the prime of his life, and it is also the age to show his talents.

"Yes, yes! It seems that now that the big-eared thief has died, it is a good opportunity given by God for me to destroy Shu. ”

At this time, the courtiers next to each other in the palace couldn't help but talk to each other.

"Silence, gentlemen! Don't be so excited. ”

"Although the thief Liu Bei is newly mourned, I heard that there are also Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng in the court of the new monarch, and Guan Ping in the land of Jingxiang is still eyeing my Great Wei, and he is the enemy of my Great Wei, and our army must not be slack!"

Cao Pi, the Son of Heaven, listened carefully for a moment, and then couldn't help but exhort the generals with a solemn look on his face, but the words praised by the ministers were also extremely useful, and Cao Pi's face was also showing a smile of joy.

Wait for a half-ring.

With a crown in court clothes, Liu Ye, who was in the official ranks, immediately bowed to Cao Pi and said, "Your Majesty." Now that Liu Bei is dead, this may be the opportunity for our army to counterattack Shu Han! ”

"The minister thinks that our army should send troops to fight on a large scale."

Liu Ye first recounted in a strong language.

Hearing this, Cao Pi looked at Liu Ye and immediately asked: "What Mr. said is very much in line with my heart, I don't know what kind of plan Mr. can teach him about the crusade against the Xishu regime?" ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Pi returned the salute with a sincere face.

Looking at the Son of Heaven asking for advice, the surrounding ministers also immediately focused their eyes on him, but Liu Ye did not hurry to straighten out his clothes, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister does have a strategy for attacking Shu with a five-way army, or it can counterattack Shu Han, so that all departments of the Shu army can not take care of each other. ”

Mentioning this, Liu Ye looked around, and then said with a smile on his face and a confident tone: "Your Majesty can send General Cao Zixiao of the garrison Xudu to levy Yan and Xu, and the infantry and sailors of Yangzhou have crossed the water and land from Jiangjin to the north along Jiangxia and attack the area of Xiangyang and Hanjin Port, which is a large army all the way!" ”

"Then he ordered General Xiahou Shang and General Xu Huang, who were stationed in Wancheng, to march to the first line of Shangyong and the first line of Fancheng respectively, and attack Jingzhou together with the general, the army of the two roads."

"Ordered the governor of the western part of Yongzhou to send troops to Yongzhou, and ordered him to lead the people to attack the counties of Longyou and attack Hanzhong along the roads of Hanzhong, which were the third and fourth armies respectively."

As soon as these words fell, a courtier on the side looked hesitant, and couldn't help asking: "There is now a four-way army, but I don't know what the five-way army mentioned in Liu Shi said before?" ”

"Where is the Fifth Route Army to be found?"

This remark immediately reached the hearts of the ministers.

Liu Ye's words just now have almost included most of the main forces of the Great Wei to conquer Shu Han, but they have only gathered the Fourth Route Army, where should the Fifth Route Army be assembled?

What this person said also made Cao Pi, the Son of Heaven, once again focus his eyes in front of him, and then unconsciously revealed a majesty of the Son of Heaven, and said solemnly: "Sir, ...... these five roads?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Seeing that most of the people's expressions were still hesitant, Liu Ye gently comforted Cao Pi with his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This fifth road is also the key to this attack on Shu, and the minister only hopes that His Majesty will not hesitate to think about the overall situation, lure it, form an alliance with it, and attack the Jingzhou army together." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but chuckle and said: "What the servant said, can it be to abandon the previous suspicions with Jiangdong Sun Quan and form an alliance to attack Jingxiang again?" ”

"What Zhongda said is very true."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Ye's eyes suddenly glanced at the middle-aged Sima Yi, who was still good looking and posture on the side, nodded lightly to show appreciation, and affirmed: "Ye is exactly what he meant." ”

Before Cao Pi could respond, the surrounding ministers had doubts, and they couldn't help but express their opinions, first Zhang Hu, the son of Zhang Liao, who was about twenty years old, couldn't help but say: "Sir." How can it be allied with Wu Jungong? ”

"In order to compete with my Great Wei for Nanxin, Yundu and other places, Sun Quan of Jiangdong has almost never settled the people on my southeast border in the past two years, and often has frequent wars with the Wu army.

"But Lu Fan's department was hit by the tiger's father in the Jiangdu Port of Guangling, most of the soldiers were knocked into the river, and Zhuge Jin's department was also in an unfavorable situation, and the competition was lost again and again, I heard that Sun Quan had already been angry and swore to fight with my Great Wei!"

"In the words of the servant, the alliance Wu army will attack Jingzhou together, with Sun Quan and me

How easy is it to talk about the contradictions that have accumulated in the past two years between the Great Wei? ”

Zhang Hu slowly analyzed the current situation, and he felt that Liu Ye's alliance with Wu Jun was a bit self-inflicted and whimsical.

Then how could Sun Quan ally himself again?

"Brother Tiger is reasonable, and he seconded it!"

When the words fell, another young man of the same age echoed his words.

This will be the son of Xu Huang.

Zhang Hu and Xu Zhen both hold the same opinion.

Immediately after the two, most of the courtiers also expressed their opinions, not very optimistic about Liu Ye's strategy of joining Wu.

After all, the hatred accumulated by the war that broke out between the two sides in the past two years is too deep......

Seeing that the ministers were not optimistic about this strategy, Cao Pi, the Son of Heaven who was sitting in the Ming Hall, also looked slightly moved, stared straight at Liu Ye, and said in a deep voice: "Ziyang, most of the ministers are not very optimistic about my alliance with the Wu army, can you tell me what you think?" ”

In a word!

Liu Ye looked around, but there was still a faint calm on his face, as if the doubts of the ministers did not exist, and he smiled after a long sigh, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, colleagues, Lian Wu attacked Shu, this is what Sun Quan dreamed of, what reason does he have to refuse?" ”

"Sun Quan has always coveted Jingxiang, and the counties of Jingzhou are located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, if they do not take it, the land of Jiangdong will face the swooping offensive of Jingzhou at any time, and will also face a great threat."

"A few years ago, the Sun clan and our army sent the general Lü Meng to cross the river in white clothes to attack Jingxiang and failed, but lost the important towns of Lukou and Baqiu in the south of the Yangtze River, and there must be a desire for revenge in his heart at all times, only because of the strong military strength of our Great Wei, which forced Shu and Wu to unite again helplessly."

"But the so-called bustle of the world is all for profit, and now the Han Emperor Liu Bei died suddenly, it is the time when the government and the opposition in Shuzhong are unstable and chaotic, and it is the time for Sun Quan to take Jingzhou again, if there is the help of our army, wouldn't the Wu army be more sure of attacking Jingxiang?"

"Such a beautiful thing, how could Sun Quan refuse?"

After a free conversation, Liu Ye analyzed bluntly.

Then Liu Ye pondered for a moment, and then said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty." In order to contribute to the success of this matter, Ye thought that if Sun Quan agreed to the alliance, His Majesty could crown him as King of Wu. ”

"Crowned king?"

"Then how can Sun Quan be crowned a prince?"

For a time, not only Cao Pi was puzzled, but the ministers even sneered.

The alliance can, what qualifications does the crown prince Sun Quan have?

As soon as these words fell, seeing Cao Pi's face change, a little cold and unhappy, Liu Ye thought for a moment but also smiled and said: "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this matter, for the Imperial Palace, Your Majesty is just a trivial matter, and it is just a favor to push the boat along the water!" ”

"But it has extraordinary significance for Sun Quan."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Hearing this, Cao Pi was a little interested and couldn't help asking.

"Your Majesty. That Sun Quan is not like the big-eared thief Liu Bei has the identity of a descendant of the Han royal family, if he calls the king and the emperor, he is like the former Yuan Shu is self-reliant, and if the name is not right, it will be extremely unfavorable for him to rule the entire Jiangdong, but if His Majesty pushes the boat down the river and entitles him as the king of Wu of the Great Wei and adds nine tin, it can solve his problem in an instant. ”

"How could he not attack Jingzhou for His Majesty?"

"Even if Your Majesty is unwilling to crown King Wu, it has no meaning, because Sun Quan is still a separatist party, so why doesn't Your Majesty exchange his false name for his offensive against the Jingzhou army?"

When the words fell, the ministers had a little understanding, and Cao Pi, the son of heaven, also nodded in approval again and again, obviously inclined to Lianwu's decision, but for the sake of safety, he couldn't help but look to the other side to ask for advice: "Zhongda, Liu Shizhong's strategy, do you have any objections?" ”

"Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Sima Yi immediately bowed and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"According to the intelligence of the spies who have returned to the south in recent days, since Liu Bei's death and the new monarch succeeded to the throne, it seems that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have made great achievements in war, and they have all stayed in Chengdu and sat in the court, and everything in Jingxiang has been adjudicated by Guan Ping."

"This person's use of troops has always been ever-changing, and it is impossible to guard against it, so our army should unite with the Wu army to strangle Guan Ping."

Sima Yi also said.

Subsequently, Cao Pi successively consulted Jia Kui, Tian Yu and other ministers for advice, but also received a similar reply.

This also made Cao Pi suddenly decide, and immediately went to Jiangdong to meet Sun Quan to discuss the alliance.

……

More than ten days later.

Sun Quan once again allied with Wei, and Cao Pi, the son of heaven, also kept his promise, and personally sent Jiang Ji as an envoy to Jiangdong with Fujie and Jiuxi, and enshrined Sun Quan as the king of Wu in Great Wei, and took several counties in Wuzhong as his fief.

Afterwards.

Wei Wu from east to west a total of five routes of army to attack Shu, a total of 300,000 people, known as more than 500,000 Dynasty Shu Han Han, Hanzhong, Longyou, Xiangfan, Jingnan four counties launched a fierce attack.

As a result, the pattern of the world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
