Chapter 659: Broken Arm
Yedu, since February, the climate in Hebei has been changeable, not as dry as the previous three years, but often rainfall, Youzhou Yuyang, Shanggu County 2 even snowfall in early April.
This kind of negative information was only reported to Yedu on a small scale, so as not to appear in the official document to anger Cao Pi.
Cao Pi was in a very bad mood, probably because the weather was abnormal at the beginning of summer, and he had another son who died of illness, and so far there are four oldest who are not easy to die.
Several times I lost control of my emotions and damaged my body, where is it so easy to recover?
Nowadays, all kinds of things are pressed on my heart, my mood is depressed and difficult to solve, and my physical and mental conditions have begun to develop viciously.
Up to now, he, the emperor, has no mind or strength to have children, and the joy of life, the joy of relatives and friends, and the joy of controlling fate have gradually left him, which has contributed to his depression.
Although he didn't get mad and killed people with his own hands, why did Cao Pi kill people with his own hands?
And now, after repeated confirmation, his loyal minister, capable minister, and the greatest hero who succeeded to the throne, Jia Kui, fell into the hands of Beifu, and his integrity was upright and refused to bend to survive, and he was killed by Tian Xin.
It was as if he had cut off one of his arms.
Cao Pi was very sad...... But Jia Kui is like a model of martyrdom for loyal monarchs, and he deeply inspired the ministers and officials of Yedu, and the attitude of these people is obviously more diligent, which makes Cao Pi a little secretly happy.
It is precisely because of this visible joy that Cao Pi's sorrow is three points heavier, thinking that a central and important minister like Jia Kui can no longer share his worries.
In this complex state of mind, Cao Pi focused on chasing Jia Kui, and was buried as Wei Guanglu's doctor, Fenyin Township Marquis, and General Jianwei, and established the name Zhongsu, and Jia Kui's seven-year-old son Jia Chong attacked the Fenyin Township Marquis, with 1,200 households; In addition, the second son of Jia Kui was named the second son of Jia Kui as the marquis of Guannei.
On the one hand, he sent people to move Jia Kui's two sons into the palace to support him, and on the other hand, he sent people to Guanzhong to welcome back Jia Kui's body and buried him in Xiangling, Hedong.
Just when Cao Pi was sad for Jia Kui's martyrdom, Liu Ye came to offer advice again.
Cao Pi's face was loose, and he listened to Liu Ye's 'discord plan', and was quite moved: "Tian Xiao killed my loyal minister first, and I can't let him have a good time." It's just that Guan Yunchang is not more than a mortal, how can he be bullied? ”
Liu Ye stood on the side, his expression calm: "Your Majesty, although Guan Yunchang is brave and shrewd, he is old. With its ability, it is enough to govern the country. It's just that the Tian clan in China has become a strong domain, and it is difficult to get rid of it, and Guan Yunchang is burdened by family affection and cannot solve this dilemma, and he is quite attacked and questioned by the old ministers. ”
"In addition, Zhuge Kongming governs Yizhou, the people are rich, and the government and the opposition respect him, which can be described as a deep expectation."
"The minister's plan cannot separate Guan Yunchang's son-in-law, and it can also make Guan Yunchang retreat to the feudal country, regardless of the court."
"Well, let me think deeply."
Cao Pi was moved, the so-called strategy is by no means to attack a point, but to break through the rigid situation with a point and a line.
Liu Ye's discord plan is more similar to an introduction, mainly to destroy the relationship between Guan Yu and Weng's son-in-law. As long as it can create cracks, the forces of other parties will follow up and promote, create public opinion, and with Guan Yu's strong temper, he will really resign and return to Jiangdong if he can't say it.
Now the balance of Ji Han's situation is all supported by Guan Yu alone, and there is currently a lack of environment for the transition to Zhuge Liang.
If Guan Yu is gone, and Zhuge Liang enters the dynasty to govern, then Zhang Fei can still obey; But Guan Yu was angry and left Jiangdu, and the balance of the entire Ji Han and the development plan collapsed.
Cao Pi thought about it before and after, and also felt that it was suitable to break the game at present.
After all, Tian Xin had already killed Jia Kui, and it was one thing for him to retaliate and get back the scene, and the unprecedented unity of the entire Wei State because of Jia Kui's death was also an important reason.
The killing of Jia Kui shows that Tian Xin had no intention of taking Hedong, but intended to continue the Wei state; In addition, Jia Mu, who died with Jia Kui, was enough to alert the old ministers and elders of the Wei State to the fact that their qualifications, abilities, and influence were worthless in Tian Xin.
Guan Long Shimin has no way to retreat after following Tian Xin, and the current Great Wei monarchs and ministers have no way to retreat.
So the situation suddenly became delicate, and Tian Xin's killing of Jia Kui must have sent an important signal to himself.
If you want to do something at this time, you have to keep an eye on the Han court.
Cao Pi's eyes swept over Liu Ye, who was standing with his head bowed, and when he thought of the bloodline of the other party's Han clan, he inexplicably felt lonely and lonely.
In the current Han court, Guan Yu is in the center to stabilize all parties; Zhuge Liang accumulated strength in Yizhou to prepare for the next step of taking over the center. These preparations include convincing political achievements, as well as prestige, and a sufficient reserve for war.
And these preparations take time to accumulate, three years faster and four years slower.
This requires Zhuge Liang to sit in Yizhou to achieve, if he finds a way to drive Guan Yu away now, then Zhuge Liang must leave Yizhou and sit in Jiangdu.
Losing the emotional bond between Guan Yu and Tian Xin, the son-in-law of Weng, Nanyang is a boiling oil pot, which can be detonated with a little spark.
And Zhuge Liang, who rushed into the court to serve as the ruler, obviously lacked the prestige to convince all parties.
Zhang Feichun was broken in order to stabilize the defense line south of the Yellow River, a broken Kwantung prefecture with limited war potential and a lack of cavalry. The Wei army crossed the river, which was enough to sweep through the four states of Kwantung and trap Zhang Fei in an isolated city.
Therefore, Zhang Fei has nothing to worry about, this is just an important arm to help Guan Yu stabilize the balance of the Han dynasty.
As long as it is done properly, with a little luck, it is not good that the now harmonious Han court will be shattered and form three or four, or five or six separatist forces.
When the time comes, the order will be confused, no matter how powerful Tian Xin is, he will be separated by three thousand miles, and his Lingnan territory will also leave him.
Liu Ye is just here to offer a plan, because there is now an internal and external situation to implement the plan; The specific implementation needs to be done by professionals.
Out of prudence, Cao Pi recruited a new central protector, Jiang Ji.
Colleagues Jia Kui was killed by Tian Xin, which made Jiang Ji and Dong Zhao very frightened.
No matter how bad Jia Kui is, in terms of personal ethics and governing ability, he is already an excellent official second only to Du Yi in Cao Wei, and he is from a prestigious family. The key is that Jia Kui is middle-aged, at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the surplus value is very high.
And Jiang Ji and Dong Zhao have some problems with their private morality, for example, the Wei army is currently carrying out military reform according to Sima Yi's plan of ten inner towns and six outer towns.
Jiang Ji of the Central Protector Army is naturally a person who supports Sima Yi, and is being assessed and selected in the army, and his corruption is almost open, so that there are nursery rhymes among the people of Yedu to satirize Jiang Ji's desire for teeth, and he deserves a thousand horses; Five hundred governors, five hundred horses.'"
The military system, such a large-scale change, there are naturally countless benefits when handled.
Compared with Jia Kui, Jiang Ji and Dong Zhao, who are old and useless, have a loss of personal morality, and are the founding fathers of Cao Wei, are definitely a group of people who have been purged out.
Take a look at Jia Wenhe, what a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and because of the last resort in his early years, he was worried by Beifu.
Even if Jia Wenhe died, he would kill his eldest son Jia Mu to take revenge...... This is simply forcing people to pick up swords and resist, leaving no way for people to live at all, and not making any sense.
In response to Cao Pi's question, Jiang Ji added: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that his country is in danger, and it is the time for the imperial court to exert his strength. However, if you only conspire against Guan Yunchang alone, I am afraid that it will not work. but not to make another plan, to cut off his arm. ”
"Oh? Can you be sure? ”
Jiang Ji took a deep breath and affirmed: "This praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, and there must be a middle game." ”
