Cao Pi's accession to the throne was not as dark and difficult as that of later generations, because he was named by Cao Cao and elected by his brothers. The reason why this is so is because whoever sits in that position is equivalent to being put on the fire to barbecue, it is an absolutely tiring and thankless errand, and you brothers avoid it, who will rob it?

Now Cao Wei's subordinates have suffered most of the casualties, and they have long since regained their original pomp, but the old ones are gone, and the new generation stands out, such as Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Zang Ba, Deng Ai Zhonghui, Wenchenli Sima Yi, Wang Shuang, and Zhu Shuo.

The current Cao Wei is the most loyal to Cao Wei, this is the truth in adversity.

Outside the Dantu City, in the camp of Cao Wei's army, in Cao Pi's big tent, Cao Pi looked at a group of civil and military under his command with an expressionless face, and the old general Yu Ban was reporting the battle situation to him.

Cao Hong respectfully reported to his nephew sitting on it: "King Qiwei, my subordinates have led troops to sweep around Dantu these days, and they have fallen to thirty-seven counties in Eastern Wu. Some of the Turks resisted fiercely, but fortunately, they were all put down by us in the end. ”

Cao Pi expressed his satisfaction with his uncle's support, but his face was not shocked: "I don't listen to how many people you killed, I just want to hear how many people you have gathered, population, I need to know how many people we have gained." ”

Cao Hong felt that he was saluting again: "Counting all men, women, and children, there is a total population of 700,000 and another hundred. ”

Cao Pi nodded with satisfaction: "Jiangnan is really an undeveloped land, more than 30 counties, and the population is only a little bit, but it's okay, these blanks are just right to accommodate the Han people we relocated." ”

Xie Jingjun said with relief: "The minister has already seen that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed much more fertile than the Central Plains, as long as it is reclaimed, one acre of output is enough to top three acres of our Central Plains, as long as it is peaceful, as long as it takes two or three years, we will be able to recover our vitality, five or seven years, we are the treasury is full, we will rise again." ”

Cao Pi couldn't help but look north: "No matter how good Jiangnan is, it is not our hometown, from returning to our hometown, this is the unremitting belief of millions of Han people in the south, to go back to our hometown, and then return to our hometown, this is our lifelong wish." ”

At the mention of hometown, everyone present immediately sighed and shed tears, and everyone involuntarily covered their hands to their chests, where there was a handful of hometown soil.

The dreary atmosphere disappeared in a blink of an eye, because if you want to go home, you have to fight to the death here.

"Recently, there are not many reinforcements sent by Soochow, so we should add another fire to Dantu, so that he feels endangered again, and he can ask for help from other places again."

Cao Pi nodded, but was noncommittal, and then looked at the veteran Xiahou Chun.

Xiahou Chun stood up and said: "Dantu is the place where we must attack, and it is also the place where Dongwu must be saved, our policy of encircling the point to help defend the plant and wait for the rabbit has achieved obvious results, if it continues like this, within two months, Dongwu will have no troops to send, then it will be easy for us to obtain other places, and this policy should continue to be implemented." ”

The strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements and waiting for the rabbit is still the strategy of Sima Yi, who is far away in Peijun to block Liu Bei.

Dantu controls the Yangtze River, cutting off the east and west of Dongwu, and behind this, there are two pontoon bridges, connecting Xuzhou and Jiangdong, and every night is constantly transporting the wealthy families and people in Jiangbei, and all the grain and grass collected in Xuzhou are being transported, which has become the key to Cao Wei.

And Dantu is also very important to Dongwu, once Dantu is lost, the eastern part of Dongwu is equivalent to being lost, so the two sides are fighting here.

But Sima Yizheng took advantage of this key and constantly put pressure on the Eastern Wu to keep increasing their troops, and then Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry and Xu Chu's tiger guards attacked the reinforced Eastern Wu army around.

In the face of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guards, the army of Eastern Wu was simply a group of sick men who had no ability to fight back, and they could easily win every time, so the effect of consuming the army of Eastern Wu was very obvious.

Now in the prisoner camp, there are at least 200,000 prisoners of Eastern Wu reinforcements, this is not that Cao Wei has a murderous intention, but these prisoners are Cao Wei's incomparably precious labor, and when the war is over, Cao Pi is ready to reward them to his subordinates, as their slaves, and take on the main force of the revitalization of the family.

The young general Deng Ai stood up and reported: "Recently, it has been reported that the reinforcements of Dongwu have been reduced, and it seems that the surroundings have been empty. Otherwise, once there is a change, it will be a loss of ground, and the Lord will be asked to make a clear judgment. ”

Cao Pi asked Wen Ping: "Old general, Lu Peng's sailor has already let him go, if he suddenly turns around and comes back and breaks our pontoon bridge, what should we do?" ”

Wen Ping is now in charge of the sailors, and he has the greatest responsibility to protect the pontoon.

"Lord Qi, after letting Lu Peng's sailors go west, I have set up five iron locks across the river in the upper reaches of the pontoon bridge, and all the main forces of my sailors are gathered in Jiangcheng, which can hold Lu Peng's sailors for at least a month or two."

Cao Pi asked Zhong Xuan: "How many people do we have in Nandu now?" ”

Zhong Xuan immediately replied: "There are no less than two million, and the follow-up is still coming in a steady stream." ”

"Have all the big families come here?"

"Eighty percent of the family is here."

Because they are constantly consuming the defenders from all over the Eastern Wu here, they also let the Han people from the Central Plains who crossed the river enter other places almost like no one, so that they can easily gain a firm foothold, which is an unexpected gain.

Cao Pi nodded: "Since most of the big families have already come, then I can rest assured that I can advance to the inland of Eastern Wu." ”

This is the reason why Cao Pi has been implementing this strategy of waiting for the rabbit until now, that is, he must ensure that the two pontoon bridges behind him are not lost, so that his roots, those big families can cross the river, and now that he has come over eighty percent, even if the pontoon bridge behind him is cut off, in fact, it doesn't matter, with the 250,000 troops in his hands, with the elite of 2 million Han people who have crossed the river, there is no problem in laying a foundation in Jiangdong.

"Now send an order to Zang Ba and Sima Yi, tell us the situation here, and if appropriate, we can loosen it, let Liu Bei feel the crisis, and let him work harder."

Zang Ba resisted Lv Peng's Xi Zhen Department in Mount Tai, as well as the army of Lv Peng's personal governor, although Lv Peng's equipment was advanced, but Zang Ba relied on the terrain to defend to the death, so that Cao Wei retreated south without worries.

And Sima Yi also transferred the main force in his hand, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride, Xu Chu's tiger guard, Sima Yi took a temporary patchwork of an army to block Liu Bei, of course, this is also related to the original covenant, Liu Bei did not help Cao Wei take Jiangdong, Sima Yi absolutely did not let Liu Bei's army enter Xuzhou, because of this covenant, Liu Bei did not dare to really blatantly attack him.

Since the situation has reached this point, Liu Bei has to take care of his face when he comes, after all, Cao Wei has officially surrendered to the imperial court, so if Liu Bei attacks him again, then he will be unknown.

At the same time, he also knows that although Sima Yi has 50,000 old and weak soldiers in his hands, his scheming ability is absolutely rare in the world.

And the most critical point is that Liu Bei is also beginning to quietly mobilize troops, divided into two parts, one part to the north to guard against Lu Peng's sudden attack, and part to the south, quietly moving closer to Liyang, preparing to immediately leave Danyang County once his naval army opens up Liyang, taking advantage of the chaos to make a big profit.

The four forces, each with their own thoughts, all want to get the most out of this huge turmoil, and it depends on who is more shrewd in calculating.
