Xu Du, a mansion

"Thank you for your help in stabilizing the situation in Xudu. Chen Qun and Hua Xin are willing to support Pi Gongzi. With their help, Zhi Gongzi will also be weak and powerless. Sima Fu said to the person sitting in front of him.

"No thanks, you have removed the trouble for me, what I did was for the sake of the family. As for what you are going to do, feel free and don't get me involved. By the way, there is no way for Xun Yu to do it, he swears allegiance to the Han family, you can do it. Jia Xu responded.

Sima Fu smiled, "What the public says, keep it in mind." "I thought about it, the most difficult thing to deal with in this Xu Capital is this person, Jia Wenhe is ruthless and insidious, only the second brother can win. But as long as he doesn't trouble this person, he doesn't be a loyal minister or a traitor, and he is the most knowledgeable person in the world. In the end, no matter what, this person will definitely have a good death.

Cao Pi led his troops back to the city from Hehuai and ordered people to control the actions of the ministers in the court and China, and monitor what the Son of Heaven did.

Not long after, the news of Hanzhong's defeat and escape returned, and Cao Ang died. The ministers were shocked, and finally understood what Cao Pi had done recently. The old ministers of the Han family all thought about the rest of the plans, but they were controlled by Cao Pi's soldiers and horses. Cao Zhi had no soldiers, and he couldn't move, so he let Cao Pi do what he wanted.

Sima Fu asked the Son of Heaven that Cao Ang should be the heir of Cao Pi to calm the hearts of the people.

Hua Xin and others asked together, and Cao Pi led soldiers and horses into the palace and surrounded the palace, which had the intention of coercion.

Emperor Xian had to obey, and issued an edict to crown Cao Pi as the king of Wei, the prime minister, and the pastor of Jizhou.

Cao Hong and other soldiers returned to Xudu and carried the coffin back.

When Cao Pi heard this, he was worried, and Cao Zhang was with them. If Cao Zhang wants to compete with himself, his own strength will definitely not be enough to resist. And if Cao Hong, Cao Zhen and others are from Cao Zhang, saying that Cao Ang will write Cao Zhang's heir, they will lose their name.

So Cao Pi was anxious to find Sima Yi, "Teacher, what should I do now?" ”

Sima Yi soothed: "King Wei is relieved. Zhang Gongzi had no choice but to fight on the battlefield and would not compete with the King of Wei for power. And you are the second son, and according to the generation, it is also from the king of Wei. ”

"Cao Gong had an order before his death that the Cao family's Xiahou family was not allowed to participate in the struggle for the establishment of an heir. Cao Hong is a veteran and must obey the order, if he speaks, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu will not dare to object. And the identity of the King of Wei was edicted by the Son of Heaven, and his name is justified. ”

"Now the king of Wei should rush to the funeral to pay his respects."

After hearing this, Cao Pi was much more relieved, "What the teacher said, I believe it." ”

At this point, Cao Pi led his troops and horses out of the city and went to the way back to Cao Hongbing, and when he saw them carrying the coffin back, he let out a cry of pain and ran to the coffin. When the soldiers saw this, they hurriedly put down the coffin, and Cao Pi knelt on the coffin and wept.

"Big brother, big brother, why did you go first......"

When everyone saw it, they were all deeply moved.

Cao Hong stepped forward, "Second son, get up first, the destiny of personnel, so the Cao family has to rely on you." ”

After some persuasion by everyone, Cao Pi got up and carried the coffin back to Xudu with them for burial.

The news of Cao Ang's death spread to the Hebei area, and the major families that had previously moved there now have the intention of rebellion. Cao Pi transferred troops to lose to Tian Yu and let him quell the chaos.

Cao Zhang looked for Cao Anglai, "Second brother, immediately raise troops to attack Hanzhong and avenge the eldest brother!" ”

Cao Pi was wary of Cao Zhang, afraid that he would take the throne with himself. "After the previous war, our army was insufficient and difficult to mobilize, and if we went on an expedition again, I am afraid that it will hurt the roots."

Cao Zhangyan said: "I have some soldiers and horses, and I can transfer them with my second brother." ”

Cao Pi listened to it, persuaded and lured him to put his troops on himself, mobilize them together, and avenge his eldest brother.

Cao Zhang obeyed him and handed over all his military horses to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi was overjoyed and asked him to go back and wait for news, and he would be informed when he set out on an expedition.

After some time, Cao Pi used the previous war, the army was not restored, Sun Quan peeped into my land, the Jingzhou border was disturbed, and he could not go on an expedition, so he asked Cao Zhang to return to Yanling to defend, and then go to war, and then summon him.

Previously, Zhang Liaosheng retired Sun Quan's 100,000 soldiers, and the news spread to the capital of Xu, spread to the world, and shook the four seas. Cao's army had been defeated before, and when he heard the news, his army was greatly boosted.

Cao Pi intended to attack Jingzhou, Liu Bei was far away from Jingzhou, and it was difficult to support and defend, so now was a good time.

Then he summoned all the ministers and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Sima Yijin said: "You can let a debater go to Jiangdong to lobby Sun Quan, let him attack Nanjun from Jiangxia County, and I will attack Nanyang County." Sun Jun has long had the heart of taking Jiangling, and now that Liu Bei has become the general trend of the world, Sun Quan must be the same as us, and he does not want to see it bigger. As long as our army fights, they will definitely take this opportunity to fight. ”

Cao Pi listened to him, "Who can go?" ”

Sima Yi asked: "I am willing to go!" ”

Cao Pi didn't pay attention to what Sima Yi said, until Xu Huang shouted: "Lord! I'm going! ”

Cao Pi laughed, so he asked Xu Huang to lead 50,000 elite soldiers, and Lu Jian was the deputy general, and the troops went to Ke Ri.

Sima Yi peeked at Cao Pi with his eyes, as if he realized something, this student thought that he had really passed on.

Soon after, Sima Yi wrote a letter to Cao Pi, asking him to resign and return to his hometown of Liwen County.

Cao Pi asked: "Why did the teacher leave me, I have just completed my career, and I still need the teacher's advice." ”

Sima Yi replied: "What King Wei wants has been fulfilled, and I have also achieved it." I thought about it today, I'm tired, I want to go back to Wenxian to recuperate, King Wei has a strategist and a capable man by his side, what I can do, they can also do. I also hope that King Wei will be fulfilled! ”

After speaking, Sima Yi worshipped again.

Cao Pi nodded slightly, "Since the teacher has made up his mind, I will definitely fulfill it." If the teacher needs anything, he can send a letter to Xu Du to find me, and I will help him. ”

"Thank you, King Wei!" Sima Yi said.

Sima Mansion

"Second brother? Why are you leaving? After Sima Fu learned the news, he hurriedly came to the house and asked.

Sima Yi chuckled and said, "If I don't leave, disaster will come." This student is really good, it has been well hidden, I have been deceived. He had already begun to watch out for me, when I asked for help to send troops against Jingzhou. ”

"So I'm going to resign now and let him be on his guard."

Sima Fu asked, "So?" When will the second brother come back? ”

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "I don't know, it depends on Cao Pi, look at Liu Bei, and wait for Cao Pi to fight Liu Bei, and his people can't be defeated." He personally came to me to go out of the mountain, and personally handed over the military power to me. ”

"Pan Feng, do a good job, I'll wait for you."

Sima Fu sighed, "Then take care of the second brother and go back to say hello to the villagers for me." Suddenly, Sima Fu remembered something, "By the way, second brother, what about the sixth brother?" ”

The corners of Sima Yi's mouth raised slightly, "Sixth, the key to the next layout." ”

Nanyang

Zhang Fei was defeated by Yu Ban, and after being captured, he transferred Xiangyang soldiers to Nanyang to defend against the attack of Cao Ren in Yuzhou.

"Listen! Kill the enemy with such courage and fearlessness as him, and you will have a chance to be promoted! In our Liu Army, as long as you kill enough enemies and are strong enough, you can rise up! The general pointed to a young man and said. Motioned for the soldiers to learn from him.

Xu Shu listened on the sidelines and walked up to the young man, "From today on, you will be General Zhang Fei's subordinate general." ”

"Yes!" The young man responded.

Xu Shuyan: "Come and tell them, what is your name." ”

The young man replied, "Ma Jin." ”

Sima Jin.
