Yedu, with the development of the situation within the Han court, directly affected all aspects of the Wei state.

First of all, Cao Rong gave up the illusion of surrendering to the Han family and claiming the title of vassal, and succeeded to the throne as emperor as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts.

The second is that the internal Han family is no longer focused on the Northern Expedition, but on maintaining internal and external stability and doing power transfer. It meant the alleviation of the war against Wei, so Chen Qun, the general of the Zhen Army, led part of the army from Hebei to return to Yedu, and prepared to move to Jixian County to partner with Sima Yi.

What kind of partner is it that everyone in the world can see.

In the end, it was Sima Yi, who was the farthest away, who was affected...... Things are so bizarre, the war of almost five or six hundred thousand mobilized by the Beifu, Wei, and Han armies is very likely to develop into a situation of melee between the three countries, and it is hard to brake and stagnate.

It will take time for the Northern Mansion and the Han court to merge, and the Wei court will need to turn around and clean up Sima Yi, who occupies Liaodong.

As the marshal of the border army who is about to be cleaned up by the Great Wei, Sima Yi has words of suffering.

Who would have imagined that the old ministers of the Han family, who were known for their strong and majestic integrity, would give up the civil war?

What Sima Yi thinks is only clear to Sima Yi himself, at this moment, what the Great Wei monarchs and ministers need to guard against is Sima Yi's bottomless defection to the Beifu and the Han Dynasty.

How to prevent this matter is the most important issue in Wei at the moment.

The Han Dynasty and the Northern Mansion integrated their forces, integrated them into one, and then launched the Northern Expedition, which was bound to be the battle of the Great Wei Dynasty; In order to increase the national strength of the Great Wei, the border army and the main cavalry army under Sima Yi should also be collected as peacefully and completely as possible, and should be owned by the state and the collective.

Since Chen Qun, the general of the Zhen Army, returned to Yedu, the monarchs and ministers of Wei have held various separate pairs and imperial meetings to unify their opinions.

Therefore, the situation is becoming clearer and clearer, and it is not difficult to find the situation in front of us that is about to stop fighting...... In fact, it is very beneficial to the Wei State.

There are probably three reasons, the first is that in the ten years since the decisive battle in Hanzhong, the Wei State has always been in a state of passive beating, and there is no time to reorganize the new army and clean up the scattered people's hearts. The continuous defeats and the accumulated low morale caused a huge burden to the spiritual outlook of the Wei army.

Every time there was a battle, the officials were frustrated and had no desire to fight, and if it were not for the coercive hostage measures, the front-line army would have collapsed long ago.

After ten consecutive years of defeat and hard work, the mental state of the Wei officials was very tired, and they urgently needed to rest and recuperate and live a normal life for a few years.

Fortunately, the war in these years has never caused damage to the hinterland of Hebei, and even because of Sima Yi's annexation of the Xianbei Zhuhu in the central and eastern regions, Hebei has been supplied with sufficient cattle, horses, and animal power, coupled with the restructuring three years ago, the productive forces of many scholars have been liberated, so that the Hebei region still has the war potential far superior to the Central Plains.

The Han dynasty had the highest war potential in Yizhou, followed by Jingxiang, and then Guanlong...... And combat effectiveness is the other way around. But if it is a defensive war, whoever has a high war potential and who defends the opponent's first wave of attacks must start competing for national strength.

Hebei's potential is higher than that of the Central Plains, which means that if the cluster formed by the Han army in the Central Plains cannot advance smoothly, it will inevitably take the initiative to withdraw due to lack of food and straw in the future confrontation and some other problems.

And every military action that fails is a huge harm to one's own people's hearts and national strength.

From the perspective of regional heritage, Hebei is not afraid of the Han army in the Central Plains.

And the manpower and material resources of the Han army farther away wanted to transport and replenish them to the Central Plains...... This kind of transportation loss is very staggering, and it was in order to win the decisive battle in Hanzhong that Wei launched a nationwide mobilization.

Later, the war did not go well, and he thought about emptying Hanzhong, which directly led to the consumption of materials and manpower in Guanzhong and Nanyang by the relocated population.

Nanyang supplies were empty, and Cao Ren wanted to go south to conquer Guan Yu and eat the enemy; The battle of Xiangfan collapsed, and Cao Cao's army retreated to Chang'an to rush to the aid of Xiangfan, but it was unable to do so due to lack of supplies and his own fatigue.

Therefore, the war situation has developed to this point, and it is difficult for the manpower and material resources of Yizhou, Jingxiang, and Jiangdong to support the Han army in the battlefield along the Yellow River.

The cost of transportation is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses; Unless they recuperate for many years, they will send grain and straw along the Yellow River for a long time, gather material resources and troops, and make pre-war reserves.

Therefore, with three or five years of precious time to recuperate, the Wei monarchs and ministers had the confidence to consolidate their territory and defend themselves against the enemy.

The second reason is that after a long period of external peace, Wei can calmly adjust the various problems that are becoming more and more prominent internally.

It is precisely because of all kinds of loss of control and inability to do so that there are all kinds of strange battle situations.

As for the third reason, it is related to the old ministers of Wei...... If everyone surrenders to the Han court, it will definitely not end well.

But if it is dragged to the only time when the Han court and the northern mansion are integrated, by then fifty steps, don't laugh at a hundred steps, everyone is almost a person in troubled times, and no one should blame anyone from standing on the moral high ground.

In order to have a dignified home, the old ministers of Wei will wait together for that day to come.

This kind of situation of monarchs and ministers working together is naturally solid.

In short, Cao Ei is very confident...... Of course, the premise of all this is to smoothly pull back the out-of-control border army led by Sima Yi.

When Chen Qun was about to go north to Jixian County to block Sima Yi's way back, Cao Rong held a meeting of ministers.

He sat upright and looked handsome and hearty, and the ministers and important ministers below all looked respectful...... After all, he is the future heir chosen by Emperor Wu, and in terms of means and mentality, Cao Rong's qualifications are higher than Cao Pi's.

In terms of character and personal morality, Cao Pi occasionally has a little bit of brilliance, while Cao Ei looks a little bleak.

In any case, when Cao Rong was the emperor, those of them who were important ministers of the country also felt pleasing to the eye...... It's much better than when Cao Pi was emperor.

Cao Pi was very good at holding a meeting of ministers, and the main decision-making power was in the hands of the provincial officials such as the servant and the permanent servant, and the power to issue government decrees was held in the Zhongshu province...... Shangshu Province, on the other hand, has only normal administrative power and does not participate in the consultation of major state affairs.

As the secretary of the order at that time, Chen Qun rarely participated in the planning of confidential affairs, and was responsible for more daily government affairs within the administrative authority.

The current Shangshu Ling Chen Jiao can participate in the meeting of ministers as the chief official of the three provinces, and he can also be in the front row.

If Cao Pi was planning state affairs with his close ministers during the Cao Pi period, then by this time, there were already some postures of co-governance by monarchs and ministers.

Today's meeting is for the practice of Dahonglu Liu Ye.

Cao Rong ascended the throne, the original provincial ministers were promoted, and Liu Yeguan worshiped Dahonglu and was ranked as the Jiuqing, and was named the Marquis of Dongting.

In the current situation of ministers assisting the government and co-governance, Liu Ye does not have the right to participate in and discuss state affairs because he is the great Honglu, and he can still discuss state affairs other than foreign affairs.

Otherwise, he, the great Honglu, can only manage the affairs of diplomacy, foreign and internal feudal official documents, tribute, return gifts, and personnel exchanges, plus a little more work of training translators and translating foreign classics.

As Da Honglu, his task is very heavy, he has to leave Yedu one step ahead of Chen Qun, go to Guanzhong to visit Tian Xin, and negotiate specific armistice affairs.

The lack of salt in Guanzhong makes it inconvenient to transport it from the south, which is an objective fact.

In order to achieve the actual results of the mission, many things need to be greatly compromised. I love

Salt, the lifeblood of life and death, must also make concessions for the overall situation.

At this moment, the discussion is about the scale of the salt trade, and Chen Qun only returned from the Hedong front, so he has the most say in this.

Chen Qun's face has lost too much weight, which shows that the war in Hedong is very hard.

He speculated on Cao Ei's bottom line, and also grasped the size of his remarks, and all the smart people present could naturally understand his potential intentions: "The weight of the salt pond is no less than Mount Tai, and the salt of Qingzhou in the country today depends on only the salt pond." A truce for several years, that is, to suspend manpower, but also to move the salt east of the river to Ye. ”

The salt pond is there, so large that no one can destroy it.

Unlike wells, water can be filled in before the army leaves.

If the war is lost, the salt pond will inevitably fall into the hands of Beifu in its entirety...... The lack of salt in Hebei is also an objective fact.

Therefore, we must look at the problem from a different angle, and we can't stick to the salt pond and not make changes.

It is not to exchange its own salt for peace, but to exchange the salt of Beifu for an armistice agreement with Beifu for three or five years, or even longer, and the longer the armistice, the more salt Hebei can transport...... Hmm, salt from the North Province.

If the truce lasts longer, when the Great Wei eases up, who is this salt pond, it is still two words.

If you think so, sell the salt pond and transfer the salt lifeline that Beifu urgently needs without restrictions...... It doesn't seem so glaring and unacceptable.

Probably worried that Cao Rong would not be able to accept this kind of face-damaging thing, Chen Qun added: "There is no shortage of money and silk in this pass, and the only thing that is lacking is salt. Chen Gong has always been strong, if he can't do it, he is afraid that he will throw troops into the country. ”

Cao Rong at the top bowed slightly, and a pair of eyes under the crown of the Son of Heaven were bright and deep: "I also have this concern, and the harmony between the two families is more conducive to war." And Chen Gong is a strong man, not a person who swallows his anger, so he should strive to be safe when he goes to Chang'an. ”

Strive to be safe...... The task of signing an armistice is of paramount importance.

What is Safe? Naturally, there is no bottom line to meet the armistice agreement, which is safe.

Liu Ye translated it in his heart, and solemnly saluted: "Only." ”

Seeing that Liu Ye's eyes were calm, Cao Rong also bowed his head slightly, for fear that Liu Ye would not understand.

At present, Chen Bingfeng Mausoleum in Beifu crosses the Weishui Kou, dragging at least 50,000 sturdy men who cannot participate in production and labor, and it costs a lot of savings to eat horses and chew horses...... In this way, Hedong itself collapsed.

Zhao Yan, the defender of Hedong County, is almost unable to hold on, and if it is consumed, the Hedong defenders will not be able to get the grain and straw to be replenished and transported in Hebei, so they will have to eat people.

Long-distance transportation of grain is a big taboo in the country, and Wei has had enough of this hardship and does not want to try again.

Solving the dilemma of continuous blood loss in Hedong is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

It is as if an arm is nailed to the west by Beifu, and the continuous bleeding is not conducive to the overall situation, and it will continue to weaken the whole, no matter how you look at it, you will lose.

Now transfer back to Chen Qun to block Sima Yi's retreat, that is, to stop loss.

For the Great Wei, the heavy troops assembled in Hedong were the left arm holding the shield, but they were increasingly weakened because Beifu Yangmou was trapped there and could not move; And Sima Yi's border army cluster is the right arm holding the sword, but it has a tendency to get out of control.

Relieve the dilemma of the left arm, and then use the power of the left arm to solve the problem of loss of control of the right arm...... That's all that matters.

Solve these two problems, and Dawei will have sound arms and can attack and defend.

Compared with this problem, the salt produced in Hedong is really not a problem, and the amount of concessions is not a problem.

There's nothing to be angry about, it's that the lord and dad have lost too many wars, and there is no better choice, so they can only make do with it first.

After a meeting, Liu Ye stayed alone to say goodbye to Cao Rong.

The monarch and the ministers walked under the corridor one after the other, Cao Rong put his hands behind his back, and his attitude was leisurely and could not see the prudence and seriousness of dealing with state affairs: "Chen Gongguo is imminent, and he has no intention of fighting, this is where the country's opportunity lies." This is to go to Guanzhong, and the importance of reaching a truce is to do so. Everything can be regressed. Even if...... Sending protons to Chang'an can also be discussed calmly without taboos. ”

Liu Ye bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Gong Chen will ask for too much." ”

Cao Rong listened to the slowdown in front of him, thought for a moment, and said in a firm tone: "No, he is not such a person. I need peace in order to reorganize the country's strength and fight him to the death. He also needs harmony in order to integrate the interior and want to settle the world by one battle. ”

Stopping, Cao Rong turned to look at Liu Ye: "Since Emperor Wu, everyone wants to fight the world, but there is no good result." Today, Chen Gong has this thought, and I don't expect that the will of heaven will never fulfill his wishes. ”

Liu Ye bowed his head slightly in agreement, and wanted to open his mouth to tell some objective facts to support Cao Rong's remarks, but when he thought that he was a Han clan after all, he looked a little gloomy.

Cao Rong was smart, and when he saw the change in Liu Ye's expression, he knew that Liu Ye's thinking was at the same level as himself, or even higher than his own view, so he said: "The human heart is the heart of heaven, and the name of benevolence of Emperor Chengzu of the Han Dynasty is spread in the sea. ”

These people who are interested in the Han family are definitely in a high position, and with their cooperation inside, counting the Wei army, they are tossed together inside and outside, and it is very likely that they will thwart the first round of Beifu's offensive against Hedong and Hebei.

If this round of offensive is frustrated, then Hebei will have peace of mind for the time being.

Beifu's invincible martial name is shattered, and it is its turn to strife within it.

The situation flips, and this is often the case, and there are many reasonable and unexpected situations.

Even with Tian Xin's harshness on victory, it is very likely that he will be in person...... The larger the army, the more uncontrollable the factors.

Sun Quan and Wei Jun have had enough of suffering too much.

When Tian Xin becomes an arrogant soldier and is eager to settle the world quickly, it is very likely to encounter a greater crisis.

I am suspecting that the old ministers of the Han family are at odds with the Beifu here, will Tian Xin and the backbone of the important ministers of the Beifu be suspicious?

As long as there is doubt, the integration of Beifu and the Han family is an empty word, and it will not be able to fully digest the manpower, material resources and combat effectiveness of the Han army.

As long as there is suspicion, Na Tian Xin will not dare to act rashly, and he will not easily start a decisive battle.

Therefore, Cao Ei was confident that an armistice agreement could be reached.

He is confident, and Liu Ye is also confident.

It's nothing more than a bottom-line issue, the monarchs and ministers of Wei are now neat and tidy, giving up their false names and pursuing real profits, which is naturally different from the past.
