The first one who thinks he can do it is Cao Pi!

In the name of the emperor, he has a population of sixty percent of the Han Dynasty and an army of 400,000 people, and in the past three years, he has straightened out the government and almost all the Central Plains gate lords to his side, which is the peak of Cao Pi's power.

A great man once said that 10,000 years is too long, seize the day! The political situation is like the Yellow River, which is constantly changing, and if it drags on, who knows what moths will appear, so now is the best moment for a decisive battle.

And Cao Pi's goal is still very clear, Soochow!

Nominally, this year, Sun Quan finally couldn't stand the loneliness at all and became the emperor in Jingzhou! Nominally, he began to be on an equal footing with Cao Wei and Shu Han, instead of the previous pro-Wei and Wu kings, which gave Cao Pi an excuse to march south.

For political reasons, Cao Cao was defeated by the Wu army in Chibi that year, and there was an uproar. If he Cao Zihuan conquered the state of Wu, wouldn't it seem that his prestige far exceeded that of his father Cao Cao? And with the power of unifying the north and the south, he is also better at his brother-in-law in Guanzhong, as well as his younger brother in the Western Regions.

And not to mention the majesty of unifying the north and the south, if he sets foot on the state of Wu, Cao Pi, who has no worries about the south, will be able to free up his hands to monopolize the west, and Wang Hou's good life will be over!

Yecheng, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, the fierce drums rang out overwhelmingly, and five thousand tigers and leopards rode to the head, and countless elite infantry, carrying heavy Xuanhua axes, surged forward like a black wave.

And in the front of this dizzying army, under the chariot covered by Huang Luo's umbrella, holding the gilded hardwood armrest, the string of beads swaying in front of the crown on Cao Pi's head could not hide the cold and smug smile on his face.

In the past three years, every day smelling the chicken and dancing, twilight, just to wait for this moment, corrupted the Chen family, after taking over the shipbuilding industry in Xuzhou, at this time both sides of the Huai River are like clouds, are the best warships in Liaodong, this time he not only wants to break through the mouth of the wet whiskers that have been entangled with Sun Quan repeatedly, take the healthy city, and set foot in Dongwu, but he also wants to completely dominate the world, close the military power in the customs, and completely become the master of China!

Under the peak of the army, Cao Pi seemed to have seen the top of the pyramid of power, and the appearance of worship, making the corners of his mouth under the crown more and more upward.

However, Cao Pi, who was sitting in the chariot, had no way to look back and see, outside the city gate, among the hundreds of officials who saw him off, Sima Yi, who was the first to take the lead, also had a smile of joy and victory on the corner of his mouth.

Maybe now Sima Yi has not looked forward to the level of the Jin Dynasty Wei, but the situation of Cao and Ma sharing the world is estimated to have been brewing in his mind for a long time, the political status of the wealthy family in the Eastern Wei Dynasty has been competing day by day in these years, and at this time it is not inferior to the degree of the Eastern Han Dynasty's relatives, it is estimated that even if Cao Pi broke Sun Quan, he also collected his brother-in-law Wang Hou as he wished, and his younger brother Cao Zhang's ice fist in hand, he could not become the only man in the world in his imagination as he wished!

…………

Not to mention, Cao Pi was jealous of Wang Hou on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was particularly dependent on Wang Hou, he started this in the middle of May of the fourth year of the Huang Dynasty, which was five months away from the traditional post-harvest campaign, but the source of his war power was Liaodong, which was thousands of miles away.

Although the grain income is not one of the most profitable industries in Liaodong commerce, with the emergence of Wang Hou's large farm model, especially the introduction of the harvester and steam engine of Niu Li in the past two years, there are still more and more people who are willing to invest in the sparsely populated Songnen Plain to build farms.

Although the total grain output in Liaodong is far less than that of the Central Plains, the quantity of commercial grain is very low! Using the official to buy tuntian, even if Cao Wei's tuntian army does not tuntian for a year, there will be no famine, but Sun Quan, you let him try not to farm for a year!

This is also where Cao Pi's confidence in defeating Soochow lies.

The political pattern of the Three Kingdoms is to affect the whole body, and after the release of the discussion of Wu Weiwen in May, the prime minister of Chengdu's pig brother obviously can't sit still!

"Because of the blowing!"

Liangzhou, Yicheng.

Now this place is not a small broken county, as a big city on the east and west trade routes on the bank of Weishui, the forward command post of the resistance to Xishu, and also the meeting point of trade with Bashu, in just a few years, the size of the city wall here has quadrupled, the population has reached 200,000, and the decoration of the city is naturally not the bleak scene when Wang Hou just came.

It is also a newly renovated Daxingtai Xiaobieye, looking at the strategic map, Wang Hou is meaningful and can't help tapping the map with his fingers.

I also received the news that in response to the call for war of the ally Dongwu, Zhuge Cheng turned his face ruthlessly against his good friend, the three merchant towns in Hanzhong were completely closed, and the armies of Western Shu gathered to the Hanzhong Plain, and the troops were probably no less than 120,000, of which the Wudang Fei army of the barbarians in the south and central was 50,000.

What's even more annoying is that I really don't know who the profiteer is, before turning his face, Zhuge Liang also ordered 200,000 stone military rations from himself, and the grain was shipped by Wang Hou, and he only gave one-third of the Shu brocade and Bashu rattan pepper as payment, and prostituted Wang Hou tens of thousands of military rations for nothing, and then took out all the family funds, and he Wang Hou came desperately!

The vigorous Zhuge Liang Northern Expedition has also begun!

But this is also where Zhuge Liang's political wisdom lies, Cao Pi has made a move, Wang Hou can't sit stupidly in Chang'an, he also knows that Cao Pi has cleaned up Dongwu, and he will have to clean himself up the first time he turns back, and when the time comes, the big slap will really slap him in the face! In order to resist this kind of political pressure, he must also make a move on the Western Front, take Bashu, and completely make himself worry-free, so that the Chinese side can form the situation of the Qin and the Six Kingdoms at the end of the Warring States Period.

Speaking of human words, Wang Hou will have to cut him sooner or later, it is better for him to turn his face and throw a wine bottle over to see if he can smash Wang Hou's face is full of blood, this is called attacking instead of defending!

"There is a critical local war coming, a move to make an agreement with each family, pass the order, start to recruit the Kwantan knights, go to Chencang, Jinniu Road to meet the battle, all the corps cancel the vacation, gather around Weishui!"

Although he lost some food, Zhuge Liang's hand was really good for Wang Hou! Looking at the map, the flames of war were also burning in his pupils, and with his order, like the senior central *central* officers who listened to the admonition of a bald headmaster in later generations, dozens of new and old faces in military uniforms bowed neatly and heavily.

"The last general understands, the principal ......, oh no, don't worry!"

The preparations for assembling the army had already been made three months ago, and one order was enough, but on the other hand, looking at the long display of the Western Regions, Wang Hou's face couldn't help but suffer, and he went to the soft big chair, and he grinned again.

"Staff officer Zhuge Xin, you set off immediately, go to the Green Ridge, within four months, no matter what, I want to see the return of the Western Regions Protector! If you can't reach the task, come and see you!"

Good guy, a group of staff officers all breathed a sigh of relief, but the staff officer of the headquarters who was named was like a mourner, and nodded his head with great sadness.

"The last general ......, understand ......"

Cao Zhang, who is addicted to fighting foreign wars and conquering them, has become a ghost in the staff headquarters!
