Chapter 511: Disaster Leads to the North
The Huaxia Working Group's station in Xiangyang was like a super-large whirlpool, sending the population of the Central Plains, which originally belonged to the Wei State, into the Yunmengze area of the Huaxia State.
The abnormal flow of people in the vicinity of Xiangyang and Fancheng was soon fed back to Luoyang, the capital of Wei, 800 miles away.
Cao Pi sat on top of the court, his face was pale, and his eyes revealed a thick tiredness.
Since he ascended the throne, he has felt that nothing has gone well.
Since the founding of the mysterious Chinese state, all possibilities for the southward expansion of the Wei state have been cut off.
What Huaxia has shown now is no longer something that several surrounding countries can compete with.
Originally, the whole Wei State had reached a consensus and turned the direction of Wei's attention to the north.
But the alien races in the north are also looking for a better place to live, and the Xianbei people, the Xiongnu people, the Karasuma people, and the Goguryeo people .......
All kinds of forces seem to be delayed, and they regard the Central Plains as a piece of fat that anyone can take a bite of.
Judging from the current strength of the Wei State, although the alien races in the north are strong, compared to the Huaxia State in the south, they still have the strength to fight a war by relying on strong cities.
What those aliens rely on is the mobility that comes and goes like the wind and the rare riding and archery kung fu in the world.
According to the strategy of the strategists under his command, they are ready to carry out long-distance and close attacks on these foreign races, balance the strength, and unite the weaker side to restrain whoever is strong, so as to prevent one family from dominating and forming a climate.
But Huaxia's behavior of poaching people in Xiangyang made Wei feel a headache.
fighting, there is no chance of winning, and it may even give Huaxia an excuse to destroy Wei.
If they don't fight, if the people of Wei are lost at this rate, it won't be long before the nomads in the north can wipe them out.
After Wu Zhen came back from Huaxia Kingdom, he restrained a lot.
Because, the things he saw in Huaxia Country had already made him feel hopeless.
In the eyes of King Wei, this strategist who used to be the most relied on is now basically abolished.
King Wei looked at Chen Qun, who also had drooping eyes and stood with his hands tied, without the slightest hint of wanting to speak.
Or Sima Yi came out and said: "Your Majesty, since the president of the Huaxia Kingdom said that in his sight, no force is allowed to provoke a war.
So we ...... Can you let them see farther? ”
Chen Qun also raised his head at this time and said, "Disaster to the north? ”
"The deliberate choice of Huaxia to establish a state between our three kingdoms is an extremely unwise choice in the eyes of anyone.
But they did it anyway, and they made a splash.
In just three years, the national strength has been raised to a level comparable to ours.
The origin of the president is unknown, and the powerful artifacts in his hands are even more incredible.
Since he doesn't like war, why not leave the provocations of those northern aliens to them to solve. ”
Chen Qun said: "How strong the combat power of the Huaxia Kingdom is, we have only listened to what Lord Wu said.
But in any case, we can't take any chances in the face of such an opponent who doesn't know the depths.
If you can get them to deal with the provocation in the north, you can use those alien races to probe their depths and see if they are really as invincible as the legend says.
If they don't dare to make a move, we have to consider whether they are bluffing.
If they can eliminate the hidden dangers in the north, it will also be a good thing for us.
In any case, this strategy of 'leading the water to the north' is beneficial to our Wei country and is not harmful. “
Listening to the words of his two major strategists, Cao Pi's eyes also lit up.
So he immediately arranged for Sima Yi to send an envoy to Huaxia in an attempt to persuade Huaxia to send troops to control Di.
From Luoyang to Huaxia, Xiangyang is the only way.
When Sima Yi arrived in Xiangyang with his entourage and guards, he already clearly felt the difference here.
The clothing and mental outlook of those people have changed greatly compared with other places in the Central Plains.
The hurried flow of people on the road, everyone had a special look in their eyes, which could not be seen in other parts of the Wei Kingdom.
With countless doubts, Sima Yi came to the City Lord's Mansion to find Cao Ren to learn more about Huaxia Kingdom.
"General, on the orders of the King of Wei, he sent an envoy to Huaxia to discuss the affairs of Pingdi.
I thought that Mr. Ji Chong's evaluation of that Huaxia Country was a bit exaggerated, but when I arrived in Xiangyang, I found that I was underestimating that Huaxia Kingdom.
I wonder what the general would suggest for such a trip? ”
Cao Ren sighed and said, "I'd rather take three thousand soldiers and fight Beidi in the wilderness than be the enemy of the Huaxia Kingdom." ”
"Why? Could it be that Huaxia is really that terrible? ”
"Mr. Zhongda, I don't know if you think my Xiangyang can be regarded as a rare fortified city in the world?"
"The city of Xiangyang is wide and the city walls are tall, of course, it can be regarded as a rare fortified city in the world."
"If you give Mr. 100,000 elite soldiers, I don't know how many days Mr. will be able to take Xiangyang?"
Sima Yi couldn't figure out what Cao Ren meant, so he glanced at him a few times and said, "Xiangyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Due to the existence of the city river, it is impossible to attack the city in the form of ant attachment, and no matter how many men and horses there are, there is not much use.
If you want to break the city, the only way is to 'besiege'.
But Xiangyang has plenty of grain and grass, and I'm afraid it can't be taken down in ten days. ”
Cao Ren smiled bitterly and said, "It's ridiculous!
In our eyes, the so-called Jiancheng is just an earthen city in the eyes of the Chinese people.
If they really want this Xiangyang City, it only takes a few breaths to break the city. ”
"Counting interest...... Breaking the City ......"
Sima Yi could no longer suppress the surprise in his heart, and said with a trembling mouth.
Cao Ren said helplessly: "Sir, if you go to the west gate of Xiangyang now, you will find that the city gate inlaid with iron pieces and copper nails, which usually requires eight people to open, has long since ceased to exist.
Li Yan, the minister of foreign affairs and trade of Huaxia Kingdom, brought a few people over, and without saying a word, he directly smashed the city gate to smithereens. ”
Sima Yi said in surprise: "Are you just watching them smash the door?" ”
Cao Ren rolled his eyelids and said, "Then what else?"
Before the arrows of the defenders on the walls could be wound, the gates were broken.
Who can stop such a sharp weapon? ”
"How many men did they tear down the gates?"
"Sir, although there were a few people in them, only one person really made a move.
There was only one man, standing two arrows away from the moat, carrying a round stick on his shoulder, and gently lifting it towards the gate.
After a puff of smoke, the castle tower was bombarded by a thunderbolt from the sky.
By the time the smoke cleared and we reacted to check, the gate had been reduced to rubble, and we couldn't find a slightly formed fragment. ”
