Xu Du, the battle reports of the Jiangxia battlefield were sent one after another, Cao Pi was in a complicated mood, and it could almost be said that he was angry and laughing.

The smile is to finally break the majestic majesty of the Han army, so that the legend of the invincibility of the Han army is finally shattered, which will encourage the soldiers of the whole line.

Angry that Wang Ling is useless, Wang Yun almost always said that he was a favor to the world when he got rid of Dong Zhuo, and the Wang family in Chang'an escaped with a nephew Wang Ling when he was in trouble, and many people fell on Wang Ling's head in return.

When Dong Zhuo was killed, the so-called Liangzhou Army had already reached the area of Chenliu and Dongjun, and it would last another three or five years, and the 'Kwantung Rebellion' would be put down by Dong Taishi.

Able to be civil and martial, but can take on big things, this is the image of Wang Ling in the overall public opinion, and as a result, he violated Zhang Liao's military order and ran over with a rear team of 13,000 people from three armies to jointly pursue the Han army with the Wu army.

The result was good, and the injured Tian Xin had a match.

Zhang Liao used military law to kill the 'rebels' of Meifu's department was tenable, but Deng Zhan and other forward generals took the initiative to kill other Han troops in order to pursue the Han army, triggering a rebound of the Han army.

In the first battle of Hankou, Wang Ling and Linghu Jun's nephew and uncle were killed, and more than 13,000 people from the three armies were beheaded by the Han army.

With such a large battle loss, Guan Yu broke Cao Ren in the battle of Xiangyang, and at least 10,000 widows would appear, and after the news spread, it would be a troublesome matter.

If the 13,000 people are reduced, their families are reduced to tuntian guests, forced labor, and the income of the state treasury is almost stable. But all those who died in the war must have basic pensions, the head of the household has been changed to a few children and women, and the tax has to be halved.

Calculated down, it is equivalent to more than 10,000 households in a tax-free state for two or three years, and the income from cloth alone has decreased by about 50,000 horses a year; In the next five to ten years, the tax was halved.

How much the local government can collect is a matter for the locality, and the share that can be used on the books of Cao Pi Central has been reduced so much.

The national law encourages the army to fight to the death, hoping that the soldiers will die in battle, so the relevant regulations of the law are naturally to punish surrender and give preferential treatment to the families of the soldiers who died in battle.

This preferential treatment is based on the reduction of national tax revenues, and above all, it is also long-term...... The wives of fallen soldiers are not covered by remarriage, which is protected by law, so it is almost impossible to have another population.

What population means, Cao Pi is naturally very clear.

The army killing is naturally ruthless, but I never expected that the Han army also had a moment of raising a butcher's knife, beheading 30,000 and drowning tens of thousands in the first battle of Hankou alone.

can already imagine the scene when Sun Quan was in a panic all day long and had to hold on.

Now it is impossible for Sun Quan to unite with Liu Bei, the southeast of Great Wei is temporarily stable, and there is only Liu Bei's enemy to face, and the defensive direction is only four points, which is already much better.

There are good and bad, so Sun Quan is very simply fire and Deng Sai Shui Shi, there is no fear, it is simply hateful.

What is even more annoying is that Sun Quan wants to offer the heads of Han army generals such as Huang Zhong, Liu Min, and Yin Hua, as well as the heads of the 20,000-level Han army.

Sun Quan didn't need these things, but Cao Pi needed them, and Da Wei also needed them.

In the battle of Wankou, the Han army and the Wei army returned the captives and heads, and Xiahou Shang's protector Zhao Yan reported a beheading of 13,000 levels, which Cao Pi gladly accepted.

So Xiahou Shangbai Erpin conquered the southern general, led the Jingzhou pastor, held the festival, and supervised the southern military.

Niu Jinqian is a four-grade Xiaoqi general, Wang Shuangqian is a five-grade Zhichong general, and a five-grade Huya general is full of pawns.

However, Zhao Yan, the mastermind of retribution, moved to Hedong County and was relieved of his military position.

Now no matter how miserable the defeat of the Wu army is, the Wei army lost 13,000 people, and more than 10,000 sailors were merged by Sun Quan, losing more than 20,000 young and strong.

But Sun Quan's asking price is a bit high, not to mention the title of King Wu, but also hopes that Princess Dongxiang and his prince will marry as soon as possible, and ask for Shaobei.

The death of Wang Ling and Linghu Jun's nephew is not a big deal, and the loss of 20,000 young men in exchange for 20,000 heads to eliminate domestic dissent is not a big deal, and it is not a big deal for Sun Quan to want the prince, but the marriage of Princess Dongxiang has to be delayed.

It's just a little regretful, Cao Pi couldn't help but sigh when he went out: "Tian Xiao was injured first and led the troops to break the Wu army, and time may be running out." Liu Bei won the hearts of the people like this, and he must not be negligent. ”

Wang Ling can't complain about others when he seeks his own death, Cao Pi has nothing to feel sorry for, and his focus is always different from ordinary people.

Sima Yi, who was traveling in the same car, asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to send an envoy to visit?" ”

Cao Pi pondered and frowned: "I'm afraid of provoking criticism." ”

Sima Yi also said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei's assassination has nothing to do with me, and I should send an envoy to affirm it, so as not to be criticized by people in the world." If the other enemy will have the head, he may as well return it, and he can exchange it for Wang Yanyun's head. ”

Cao Pi drove behind, followed by many sons and daughters of the courtiers, such as Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi, Xiahou Shang's son Xiahou Xuan, Sima Shi and Xiahou Xuan walked side by side with each other's deep feelings, but at this time they all looked solemn.

This trip is to comfort the sick guard Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu is eighty years old, and this serious illness is very likely to be the limit.

Therefore, Cao Pi had the intention to pull Cheng Yu and promoted Cheng Yu to the position of the third prince before he died, so that Cheng Yu would be in a better mood and say that he could live longer.

Xiahou and Cheng Yuke are both Dinghai Shenshen Needle-level figures, and every time someone dies, Cao Pi is under more pressure.

It's a pity that because Cheng Yu did appalling things when he raised military rations for Cao Cao in his early years, the court and China were slandered, and few people supported Cheng Yu to take up the post of third duke.

The candidates for the three public works must be highly respected, and even if their talents are insufficient, they must be morally exemplary.

Let Cheng Yu be the third public, which is tantamount to trampling on the bottom line of the moral model of the three publics, and also trampling on the bottom line of the three publics.

Cheng Yu is a poor man again, a typical cool official, with such a big moral handle, it is naturally impossible to pass the court discussion.

Cao Pi is not good at supporting Cheng Yu as the third duke, otherwise during the court discussion, the courtiers will pick out the things of the year, and everyone will not look good.

After all, the prestige is not enough, if there is Cao Cao's prestige, who would dare to slander the courtiers and ministers?

On Cheng Yu's house, through the curtain, Cheng Yu's voice was vague: "When the enemy army comes to fight, you can only hold on, and you must not pursue." After five years, he gained nothing, and his mind was self-defeating. After five years, he defended Qishan and Chencang in the west, Sun Quan in the east, and attacked Xiangfan and Jiangling in the middle. ”

"Cheng Gong, what about after that?"

"The minister doesn't know, Tian Xiaoxian's three Batu is really incomprehensible, and it is not human power to decide, and it must be moved according to the time of day."

Cheng Yu's eyes were stunned and he looked at the gauze tent hanging above the bed: "There is no successor to him, and he may break it." ”

After a slight pause, Cheng Yu said again: "Liu Bei did not recognize the mandate of heaven and forcibly went east, and it was useless to lose the lives of soldiers. Your Majesty, accumulate national strength, wait for the sky to change, and send 500,000 troops, which is enough to sweep the world. Hanzhong is dangerous, and it is impossible to attack the army without a wizard, remember. ”

Cao Pi asked again: "Cheng Gong, can Sun Quan be attached when he is at the end of his life?" ”

"This person's stepfather and brother Yu Lie are unconvinced, and they need to be vigilant against Sun and Liu's alliance and work together to attack."

With Sun Quan's performance, the probability of this kind of thing is not small.
