In Xuchang Palace

The ministers looked at Cao Rui, who was happy on the dragon chair, and they couldn't understand it in their hearts. Why haven't you seen him for a few days, and His Majesty has turned his anger into joy?

Cao Rui said: "Summoning the ministers to come is an important announcement. I wanted to recruit in person a few days ago, but many of the ministers dissuaded me. I am very pleased with my loyalty, but the matter of personal conquest is not a momentary whim, but a matter of national fortune, and it is bound to be done, and the ministers do not need to admonish again. It is also not trivial to take the personal expedition, I know that the general is slightly insufficient, and it is difficult to lead the army to the enemy in person. ”

Cao Rui paused and said, "Where is Liu Ye?" ”

Liu Ye came out of the queue and said, "The minister is here." ”

Cao Rui smiled and said: "Da Honglu, Liu Ye, three generations of assistants, excellent resourcefulness, planning and planning are all-encompassing, the emperor of the ancestors is good, it is my Great Wei humerus." Today, I worship Aiqing as the governor of the military division, commanding the three armies, and accompanying me to Luoyang, and all military aircraft are under Yu Qing's orders! ”

All the ministers in the audience changed color.

Liu Ye bowed again and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen, although the minister is good at strategy, he is not good at governing the army. This battle is related to the fortunes of the Great Wei Dynasty, and His Majesty still needs to choose a wise and brave general to lead the army, and it is difficult for non-veterans to match Zhuge Liang in the opinion of the ministers. ”

Cao Rui smiled and said: "Why should Mr. be too modest, in this case, can Mr. have a candidate in his heart?" ”

Liu Ye said: "The first thing to do in the conquest and war is to know the people. The governor of Yangzhou is full of favor, wise and brave, and is the father of the three dynasties, and he can take on a great responsibility. Runan Taishou Tian Yu, Yanmen Taishou Zhao, Later General Zhu Ling, and Shangshu Sun Li are all good generals, and His Majesty can also use them. In addition, there is no shortage of young talents in the court, and His Majesty can promote his brave warriors as generals and wise men as military officers. Thinking that my Great Wei is full of talents, Your Majesty knows how to make good use of people, and the ministers will be grateful to Dade, and if they dare not serve their lives, then what is the trouble of Xishu! ”

Cao Rui nodded and praised: "Aiqing is reasonable!" ”

Cao Rui groaned for a while, and said: "Spread the decree, according to Liu Ye's plan, raise a five-way army to besiege Luoyang.

In the north, Sima Fu and Sima Wang's father and son raised 20,000 troops from Yecheng to attack the Mengjin Pass ferry north of Luoyang.

In the south, Lu Qian and Liu Shao raised 20,000 troops from Wancheng to attack Yique Pass in the south of Luoyang.

The tiger prison in the east of Luoyang is very strong, and it must be conquered by my relatives. Today, he is the governor of the capital, and he is also the general of the West and leads the three armies. Bai Tian Yu and Zhao Zhao were the governors of the left and right sides of the front army, commanding 40,000 secluded and Wuhuan cavalry. Bai Zhu Ling and Sun Li were the governors of the left and right of the Chinese army, commanding the elite of 60,000 Chinese troops. I was in the middle of the army, and Cao Shuang, the general of the military guard, and Cao Zhao, the captain of the Tun cavalry, led 10,000 tiger guards and escorted them. Chen Tai, the son of Sikong Chen Qun, and Chen Qian, the son of Chen Jiao, the servant of the imperial servant, were the governors of the left and right sides of the rear army, commanding 40,000 rear army cavalry. Liu Ye of Dahonglu was the governor of the military division, Situ Dongzhao and Yang Fu of Shaofu were the deputy governors of the military division, Jia Chong, the son of the late Jia Kui, the assassin of Yuzhou, and Cheng Wu, the son of the late Che General Cheng Yu, joined the army and participated in the military with the army. This road to Hebei, Xuchang, Chen Liu and other foot cavalry 150,000, I personally sit in the town, is bound to break through the tiger prison pass, directly hit Luoyang! ”

When all the ministers heard this deployment, they were all amazed, and they talked about it for a while.

Cao Ruizhi smiled and said: "These three roads are facing the enemy head-on, Zhuge Liang is bound to divide his troops and refuse to accept them, so that the rear will be determined and continued." Then he ordered the cavalry general Qin Lang and the leading general Xiahou Xian to raise 40,000 troops from Jinyang and go straight to the Pujin ferry to threaten Guanzhong. Ordered Shangyong Taishou Shenyi to raise 20,000 troops to attack Hanzhong and cut off the retreat of the Shu army. These two roads were a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, which made Zhuge Liang difficult to take care of. In such a five-way army, Zhuge Liang either lost Chang'an, or abandoned Luoyang, or retreated to Shuzhong in a hurry, and our army coped with it freely, how could it be invincible? After saying that, he turned his head to look at Liu Ye, and said with a smile: "Aiqing's plan to go forward in five ways is very good, according to Qing's opinion, is my deployment appropriate?" ”

Liu Ye bowed and said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

At this point, all the ministers admired Liu Ye's cleverness and Cao Rui's sageness, and they hurriedly bowed down and shouted long live.

Cao Yu, the king of Yan, took the lead in expressing his position, saying: "Your Majesty is heroic, and you know how to make good use of people, God bless me Dawei, this battle will be won!" We are willing to go out with His Majesty and capture Zhuge Liang alive! The ministers agreed and wished to go with the car.

Cao Rui Dayue said: "The loyalty of King Yan can show the sun and the moon." It's just that on the occasion of this war, the rear town must not be unmanned, and the crown prince is young, and the king of Yan can sit in Xuchang, preside over the government and take care of the prince. In addition, he ordered Sikong Chen Qun, Taifu Chen Jiao, Guangluxun Gao Tanglong, and Zhongshulang Zhang Ji to jointly assist the government and deploy front-line grain, grass and ordnance. The son of the late Wumeng Captain Dian Wei and the son of the late Tiger Marquis Xu Chu Xu Yi were appointed as Xuchang guards. ”

All the ministers said that they had promised to receive orders.

Liu Ye also said: "In this battle, the elite of our army is exhausted, and Sun Yuan of Liaodong and Sun Quan of Eastern Wu may take the opportunity to make chaos, so the soldiers on the border should not be moved lightly." Please ask Your Majesty to send an advance envoy to make a good pass, promise heavy benefits, and then station troops at the border to observe the situation. Lingdu Liao general Wuqiu Jian is the assassin of Youzhou, and the former general Wen Qin is guarding Beiping, and the general of Zhennan is Wen Ping is the assassin of Jingzhou, and the general Wang Chang of Yanglie, the rebel general Wang Ji, and the general of Zhenwei Hu Zhen are guarding Jingzhou, and the general Wang Ling of Zhengdong is the governor of Yangzhou, and the son of the late right general Le Jin is the history of Yangzhou assassination, and the son of the late Zhengdong general Zhang Liao is the general Zhang Hu, and the general of Anyuan Tang Jian is guarding Shouchun. ”

Cao Rui nodded and praised: "Aiqing is thoughtful, and I am carefree, just according to what Qing said." The ministers should hurry up and prepare, and they will not start to rebel! ”

All the ministers were excited, and they all received orders to retreat and disperse.
