Tongque Terrace, Cao Rong set up a banquet to entertain Sima Yi.

Everyone knows that Sima Yi is in a bad mood, but this is still a sumptuous feast.

Cao Rong sat upright, ignoring the demeanor of Sima Yi, who was the first to sit on the right, watching the singing and dancing on the stage by himself, and gently stroking his palms to beat the rhythm, which was very happy and enjoyable.

It's like the world is going to die...... Although the most unlucky person is himself, there are too many people to accompany the funeral.

As long as you figure this out, there is no need to worry too much.

He is only seven feet long, he can't sleep on a couch when he sleeps alive, and he can't occupy a zhang wide land when he dies, so the world is not his own at all, he can't occupy the world when he is alive, and he can't occupy it when he is dead.

And when he was alive, he was trapped in the court, his activities were limited, and even what the real world was like...... You have to rely on all kinds of close ministers and ministers to inform you.

Is the world round or an egg?

What the ministers and close ministers say, then the world should be like.

So I care about and demand too many things...... It really doesn't make sense.

Cao Rong thought very openly, and looked relieved...... The world is not its own world, nor is it the world of the people under heaven, but the world of the imperial court. The ministers and hundreds of officials formed the imperial court, and this group of people did not want to die with the Great Wei court, so they had to do everything they could to try to save it.

As for what it will be like in the end, what does it have to do with yourself?

Cao Rong stared intently at the figure of the dancing girl Miaoman, and let out a hehehe laugh that could only be understood, and Cao Shuang, who was sitting on one side, subconsciously laughed.

In the past six months, he has worked very hard, and his original cute round face has also lost a lot of weight and lightening, and his smooth and round chin has a dense stubble of short beards, which is more like a strong man.

When Sima Yi heard Cao Rong's low and narrow laughter, he didn't care, he only felt that the world was impermanent.

Everything is changing, and everything is changing to the bad side.

The general trend is already in the enemy country, and the fighting spirit of the other side is broken, and the people's hearts are scattered, like the walking dead, naturally nothing goes well.

If it drags on like this, there is no need to wait for the enemy country to launch a general attack, and the organizational and institutional collapse of the own side will occur from top to bottom.

Perhaps just like Tian Qi, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, when the anti-Qin Zhishi were eagerly expecting, the Eastern Emperor Qi State, which was alongside Qin, surrendered so simply.

There was no saying that they surrendered and lost half, and the Qin State moved the Qi State Office to Guanzhong, and later the Former Han Dynasty also moved Zhutian to Guanzhong, which continued to weaken the influence of the Tian clan in Qi.

For the Tian clan, the Qi country not only lost the country without a fight, but also lost the world of the Tian clan.

For the Tian clan, everything in the fiefdom is their world.

Therefore, we must not follow Tian Qi's example and surrender without a fight, even if we want to surrender, we must surrender conditionally...... The conditions are typed.

At this step in front of him, Sima Yi watched coldly, and just wanted to retreat.

After the banquet was over, Sima Yi and Shang Shuling Chen Jiao entered together and met with Cao Rong in the side hall.

Sima Yi asked directly: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how is it compared to Emperor Wu and Emperor Shenzong?" ”

"What Zhong Da Aiqing asked, I have always been self-aware."

Cao Rong's eyes drooped and looked at the bridge of his nose, and he smiled: "On soothing the officials and winning the battlefield, Emperor Wu can defeat me a hundred times; When it comes to the imperial envoys, the first emperor of Shenzong is ten times more than me. Therefore, today, when we work together, only when you show your strengths and help each other in the same boat, can you help the community in danger. "Beautiful

raised his eyebrows and looked at Sima Yi: "Zhongda Aiqing, there is no one with two hearts during the banquet, you can say it frankly." ”

"Yui."

Sima Yi gave up his hand slightly, took a deep breath and went to see Chen Jiao on the opposite side first, Chen Jiao's second son Liu Qian, who had high hopes, grew old in an instant after being executed by Beifu, and he no longer saw the hearty bearing of the past, and the whole person was like a candle in the wind, struggling to support.

Looking at Chen Jiao, Sima Yi said in a solemn tone: "At the moment of the great enemy, the hearts of the people in China are shaken, so we must not sit idly by." Otherwise, the morale of the officials will be depressed, and the people will be afraid of war, and then the people's minds will retreat, and then think about changes. At that time, the disaster will be inside, and the gods will not be able to save it. ”

Chen Jiao asked dryly: "According to Zhongda's intentions, but you want to counterattack?" ”

As soon as Chen Jiao's words landed, he showed a strong sense of ridicule.

In these years, the Han army has always taken the initiative to attack, and the Wei army has retreated layer by layer, and it is not stable at all; Now, with such a panicked crowd, they are fighting deep into the enemy's controlled area, which is tantamount to falling into the mouth of a tiger.

Looking at Chen Jiao's smiling appearance, Sima Yi could guess what Chen Jiao was thinking.

Sima Yi continued: "Today, it seems that the enemy is strong and I am weak, but in fact it is not. Tian Xin's usurpation heart is known to the world, and there must be people in his country who miss the old master, so although the army is numerous, most of them are resentful people. I thought that when we were ready for war in the morning, when Tian Xin usurped it, our army could make a big show to rebel for the Han. ”

"The whole country is suspicious, and the old and the new are suspicious of each other, and although they have ten strengths, they cannot do anything. Our army has set up more banners and pretended to be pretentious in order to confuse them. During this period, the old officials of the Liu family were instigated, and their country was in chaos. ”

Sima Yi said and turned to look at Cao Rong with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, at this point, the minister thinks that he will lose if he keeps it for a long time." Only by letting go can there be a glimmer of life. ”

Cao Rong bowed slightly: "What Zhong Da Aiqing said is very much in line with my heart, but why is the soldier's fighting spirit sluggish and difficult to recover?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that our military officials are inferior to the enemy country, but that the country has been defeated in successive wars, and the military salary is shallow, so the morale is depressed. The ministers thought that the country should establish its prestige, open the wealth of the palace and the treasury, and give heavy rewards, and they will be able to strengthen the soldiers. ”

Sima Yi wanted to lose all the precious metals or various luxury goods accumulated by the state, but Cao Rong was silent when he heard it, and did not make a statement.

Cao Wei's court looted the world, and naturally there was a lot of wealth...... This wealth is dominated by precious metals, jewelry, jade, and the like.

Instead of taking gold, silver and precious metals to befriend the important ministers of the Northern Prefecture and negotiate an armistice agreement; Why don't you give it to the soldiers and inspire them to have the courage to fight.

When the soldiers got the gold and silver, didn't they turn around and exchange them for cloth and grain, and then return to the hands of the court and the family after a circle?

It has driven the overall business and has an internal economic cycle...... This is the fundamental reason why the government soldiers are strong.

The government soldiers are strong in sufficient materials, and the sufficient materials are because Tian Xin is willing to spend money; It is precisely because there is visible money everywhere that in order to make money, the economic vitality under the rule of Beifu is high.

But anyone who has the slightest idea will actively invest in production for economic benefits.

After the economy is running, natural things are scarce and expensive, and what is lacking is produced by people.

Therefore, after the war machine in Beifu is operational, it can obtain all kinds of supplies from the military market, and this is a huge advantage that the Han army and the Wei army do not have.

The most important thing now is to turn the inedible precious metals into negotiable money, use the money to stimulate the morale of the Wei army, and then establish a military market commercial system relying on the Wei army.

And the most important thing is that now the northern government is busy usurping, and the people's hearts are shaken and they need to maintain stability.

Therefore, it is impossible for Beifu to launch an offensive or counteroffensive this year and next...... This was Wei's only chance to rebuild its military confidence.

Military confidence must be built through military action.

Take the initiative to attack, grab something casually and come back, and then evaluate the great merit and give a heavy reward...... Naturally, faith comes in.
