Chapter 246: The Storm Rises (1)

"The rebellion in Bashu, I don't know if it can have an impact on the matter of the guards of Jiameng Pass, I will send someone to investigate it today, if the guards of Jiameng Pass are really a little weaker than before, we may be able to take advantage of this matter to make some gains!"

When Zhang Lu heard Ma Chao's words, his heart was also a little lively, even if he wanted to send someone to visit one or two in Jiameng Pass, to see if the dispute between Liu Feng and Liu Zhang had affected the defenders of Jiameng Pass.

Ma Chao's eyes at this time also seemed to burn a raging fire, from it to Zhang Lu's account, it has been more than a load, in addition to leading the army to exterminate all the thieves in the mountains of Hanzhong, Ma Chao has not yet had a big war, he is also desperate to use a big victory, to Zhang Lu, or to drive it to Hanzhong Cao Cao to prove that Liangzhou Ma, will make a comeback, Cao Cao's old debts are all recovered!

Just as Zhang Lu and Ma Chao were fighting in Hanzhong, in Yecheng, Cao Cao also gathered a group of civil and military generals in front of the hall, and Cao Pi and Cao Zhi stood side by side, waiting for Cao Cao to speak.

A few hours ago, the two of them had learned in advance through their own channels that Liu Feng had traveled thousands of miles from Nanzhong to Chengdu, and the two also knew that this Yizhou was in chaos, as the first force in the Central Plains today, he was just canonized as the Duke of Wei by the Han Emperor a year ago, added Jiuxi, and at the same time established the Wei State and set the Wei State as the capital in Yecheng, Cao Cao, who sat on the land of the ten counties of Jizhou, will definitely take action.

Nowadays, the Central Plains are almost all under Cao Cao, Wuhuan, Liangzhou and other places, and they have all been pacified by Cao Cao's personal expedition or generals under his command in recent years. The rest, except for Jiangdong Sun Quan and Jingzhou Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang, who returned in vain several expeditions, belong to this obstructive and long-lasting Yizhou.

Now Yizhou is in turmoil, according to the news that came back before, although Liu Feng occupied Chengdu, but Liu Zhang had already fled to Ba County, Bashu two counties, the two of them each accounted for one, and Liu Zhang sat on hundreds of thousands of troops in Yizhou, and Liu Feng is rumored to have only led tens of thousands of troops, in comparison with the two, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were not very optimistic about Liu Feng at the beginning, but they thought that Liu Zhang might be greatly injured by Liu Feng's raid, perhaps this is the best time for Cao Cao to seek Yizhou.

But Cao Zhi thought deeply, every time he thought of Liu Feng's confident look and the plan to take the lead every step of the way, he didn't believe that Liu Feng really dared to go deep into the hinterland of Yizhou alone with only tens of thousands of horses, and forcibly compete with Liu Zhang for the land of Yizhou, so that even if Liu Feng could defeat Liu Zhang, the land of Yizhou would become a ruin, how could Liu Feng defend the land of the enemy on all sides?

"Liu Feng is here...... There must be some kind of aftermath that has not been known to the world, if the father asks, he should not be able to infer it......" Thinking of the kind of advice that Liu Feng said to him before, and the gentleman's agreement reached by the two. Cao Zhi thought silently in his heart.

Liu Feng was still able to pull Xiangyang out of Cao Cao's hands in such an unfavorable situation at the beginning, and now that he has taken the initiative, Cao Zhi can't be a little worse than he thinks.

Then Cao Zhi couldn't help but think that once Liu Feng seized Yizhou, if Cao Cao could really inherit Cao Cao's legacy after a hundred years, then Liu Feng would almost certainly be his primary enemy.

Just when Cao Zhi was thinking about what killer trick Liu Feng would have, he saw that Cao Cao, whose beard was already gray, was still striding from the rear to the main seat.

"The princes must have learned about Yizhou from people they are familiar with, so they don't need to talk so much, Yizhou is the country of abundance, no matter who gets it, they can achieve a hegemony, if Liu Jiyu and other incompetent people go elsewhere, how can they survive to this day? It has been able to spend more than ten years in Yizhou, all because Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so what do you think about the situation in Yizhou today? Should we sit here, or should we do something? ”

After everyone's greetings, they all looked contemplative and silent, and in the end, their eyes were focused on Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

Cao Cao was already over sixty years old at this time, although he was still full of energy, but everyone knew that Cao Cao's era had gradually passed, and soon after, the lord of Wei was born in Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, at the beginning everyone thought that although Cao Cao loved Cao Zhi, Cao Pi Fang was the most similar person to Cao Cao when he was young, and Cao Pi was quite able to speculate on people's hearts, although it was not publicized, but secretly it was also with its unique character to envelop a cadre of people, etc., Sima Jia and Cao Zhen, are Cao Pi's two staunch supporters.

On the other hand, Cao Zhi, when he was young, he just liked to chant poetry and drink for fun, and everyone did not think that it would pose a threat to Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi had already made countless flowers and grass in Xuchang before he was a weak crown, the most well-known of which was his marriage with Cao Pi's wife Zhen.

But since Cao Zhi followed Cao Cao to fight in Chibi, he seemed to be reborn, not only took the initiative to dedicate himself to Cao Cao back when he was in Huarong, but also frequently gave advice to Cao Cao after returning, and he was sharp for a while, and Cao Zhi was indeed a very smart person, so although he did not gain an overwhelming advantage in the secret contest with Cao Pi during this year, he could be regarded as not falling behind. Many officials who had already decided to fall to Cao Pi were all waiting and watching, and the situation in Wei was very complicated for a while.

In Cao Cao's heart, only a truly ruthless and resourceful person can maintain the foundation he has worked so hard to create, and will dominate this Chinese land in the future.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cao Pi looked upright at the moment, and said: "According to the opinion of the ministers, our army should seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, wave the army westward, first take Hanzhong, and then take Bashu directly from this Yizhou gateway land, and wait for Liu Feng and Liu Zhang to fight and lose both, and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" If you get Yizhou, why worry about Jiangdong and Jingzhou not breaking? ”

Obviously, in Cao Pi's heart, this is indeed a great opportunity.

"What does Zijian think Zihuan said?" Cao Cao didn't know if he could do it after hearing this, but he just looked at Cao Zhi and asked with interest.

"Zhi thinks that Liu Feng should not be underestimated, since he led the army to take Chengdu thousands of miles away, I am afraid that he has already taken precautions for this follow-up, so it is better to see the situation clearly for the time being, and then make a decision."

As soon as Cao Zhi's words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
