In the palace of Luoyang, Cao Pi felt so depressed and was walking around anxiously, never thinking that things would get so bad and so fast. Fastest updates

"Why, why is this happening?" He stopped and asked the maid standing on his left.

The palace maid lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound, and the woman didn't ask about the world.

"What's going on, what the hell is going on?" He turned his head and asked the eunuch standing on his right.

The eunuch quickly knelt down, his mouth opened, but he didn't speak, because the affairs of the world have long been none of his business.

Alas! Cao Pi stomped his feet and complained to himself, it was true, why was he in a hurry to ask the woman and the eunuch? Hurry up and ask Taiwei Jia Xu to ask for advice!

Jia Xu is over 70 years old, his beard is white, he got off the sedan chair outside the palace gate, and with the support of the attendants, he came to see Cao Pi urgently.

"Slowly, no hurry, no hurry!" Cao Pi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

He was not in a hurry, but he immediately spoke: "Back then, the first emperor used your divisive strategy to quickly break Ma Chao and Han Sui. Now that Ma Chao has invaded Guanzhong again, Cao Zidan is in danger. What good strategies can be used to pacify the Taiwei? ”

Jia Xu didn't want to come, in this life, he had too much heart for different masters, his brain was already tired, he thought that Cao Cao could dominate the world, and he would never have to be displaced again, but he didn't expect that this Liu Bei would suddenly develop so fast, Cao Pi even had to bother him to come out and rack his brains.

It hurts, I really can't get anything, when I asked who was willing to go to Guanzhong to help Cao Zhen, he followed everyone and shouted for Sima Yi to go, but I didn't expect that such a smart person would not be able to use it.

"Captain, do you have a high opinion?" Cao Pi is still anxious to ask.

"Uh-huh!" Jia Xu took a mouthful of phlegm, but there was no place to vomit, so he had to swallow it first and reminded Cao Pi: "This...... Your Majesty, Ma Chao is still that Ma Chao. If it's just Ma Chao, Guanzhong is still our Guanzhong. ”

"Ouch, my Captain! Now it's still the same Ma Chao who is rampage in Guanzhong, but this time, there is just one more thief. "Cao Pi doesn't want to play tongue twisters here.

Ouch, my Imperial Majesty, that's the crux of the matter. Jia Xu felt that Cao Pi was dizzy with anger, and reminded again: "Your Majesty, that Ge thief robbed Hanzhong and defeated Sun Quan, all the battles he participated in were treacherous, and he marched quickly to determine the overall situation with one blow." ”

In this way, Cao Pi was even more anxious: "Yes, yes, it will determine the overall situation, those guys have now entered Hangu, and they are fighting to the death with the reinforcements I sent, and even Ge Thief, Ma Chao, Huang Quan and others have all arrived." It seems that they went straight to Luoyang. ”

"Then now that Cao Zidan and Sima Yi are in Guanzhong, what happened?" Jia Xu wanted to inquire first, since he heard that Sima Yi was going back to Guanzhong Zhan Ma Chao, he felt that something was not good. During this time, he was mostly recuperating at home, and when he was old, he couldn't afford to worry about that heart.

Cao Pi told him: "I just received news from Sima Yi that he is now sticking to Pubanjin to defend Cao Zidan's retreat." However, he was besieged by the men and horses of the kudzu thieves, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for long. ”

Alas, now that Tongguan has been robbed, if you want to get the news of Guanzhong, you have come by detour, and I don't know how many days ago.

"Then what happened to Cao Zidan in Guanzhong, is he still guarding Chang'an City?" Jia Xu really hasn't been to court for several days, and many things are not clear.

"Alas!" Cao Pi let out a long sigh, "I heard that there are still two horses left, and they are still guarding Chang'an City." ”

This news turned out to be transmitted by Sima Yi, that Cao Zhen was in Chang'an, he didn't have the face to come back, and he didn't even know how to talk to Cao Pi, so he had to ask Guo Huai to write it, and then Sima Yi sent someone to take a detour to send it over.

Oh? There are still 20,000 horses, and there is Chang'an Jiancheng to rely on, where there are more material reserves, and it is not impossible to hold for a period of time and wait for the situation to change.

Jia Xu asked again: "Then what is the situation of the battle with Liu Bei in the direction of Jingzhou?" ”

This is the most critical thing, if Liu Bei's march into Jingzhou is unfavorable, and when he retreats, Cao Ren will send troops to Guanzhong again, and Cao Zhen will be united, and then the imperial court will transfer troops to support, in that case, it is not impossible to recover Guanzhong.

However, this is the most important thing for Cao Pi's life, he has just gotten the news, and he doesn't dare to let others know, and now he has to ask for advice from Jia Xu: "Ge thief suddenly led the army out of Wuguan Road, and the soldiers came to Wancheng, and Da Sima was worried that the back road would be cut off, so he had withdrawn to Wancheng on all fronts." ”

"Huh?" This time it's really terrible, Jia Xu's old body bones are a little unbearable, so he almost sat on the ground, but fortunately, the entourage reacted quickly and quickly held on.

Cao Pi forgot to find a chair for Jia Xu first, and was only anxious at the moment: "I specially invited Lord Taiwei to come and ask for advice because the war on the two fronts was unfavorable." ”

Both lines have collapsed, what other clever plan can be used to turn the tide? Jia Xu was already worried that he was not an old minister of the Cao family, and he was worried that if he said too much, he would cause trouble, so at this time, he didn't want to talk too much.

"I ...... I ......" He stammered for a long time, but there was no follow-up.

Cao Pi urged again: "Alas, my old lady, it's time for you, you should hurry up and think of a way." ”

Jia Xu trembled and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the sweat on his forehead tremblingly: "I...... I ......"

Cao Pi hurriedly asked someone to bring a dry towel and wiped it for Jia Xu in person: "At a critical time, you have to hold on." ”

Jia Xu suddenly remembered a topic, and then quickly asked Cao Pi: "Your Majesty, just now, you led the army out of Wuguan to Wancheng?" Didn't he lead the army out of Tongguan and into Hangu? Didn't he lead his army to shoot Sima Yi in the siege of Shang Shufu? ”

"This ......" Now it's Cao Pi's turn, right, why are there thieves everywhere? And you didn't even realize it in the first place?

Fortunately, there was news to break this embarrassment at this time, it was Jia Kui, who led the army to Hongnong to block the enemy, who saw through the enemy's tricks, obviously the enemy general Wei Yan's attack on Hangu was blocked, and he was unable to fight again, but he deliberately waved the banner of Ge Thief and Ma Chao, calling for battle every day to scare people, probably intended to prevent our army from going to rescue Cao Zhen. Jia Kui tried to counterattack, and sure enough, Wei Yan was repulsed.

Jia Kui suggested that now that the defeat of Guanzhong has been decided, and the imperial court is unable to recover it for a while, Cao Zhen should be allowed to withdraw from Chang'an as soon as possible to protect Luoyang, and it is not too late to try to plot against Guanzhong after the situation changes in the future.

"Liar, it's really a thief who is deceiving people." Cao Pi also wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel, and finally heard good news.

Jia Xu is even more thankful, this Jia Kui has already come up with an idea, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, and hurriedly said to Cao Pi: "His right, now the two fronts are in an emergency, Cao Zidan is alone in the middle of the pass, he is in danger, and it is useless to hold on, so let him come back quickly." ”

Then he coughed violently: "Ahem! Ahem! Your Majesty...... Ahem, ahem! Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and he is only afraid that his life will be short, and he only hates that he is powerless to share his worries for His Majesty anymore, and wants to go back to recuperate now. For major events in the DPRK and China, there are capable ministers such as Jia Kui to help. Cough! Ahem! ”

Cao Pi was also afraid that Jia Xu would not be able to catch it and die in front of him in one breath, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, take care of your body, and ask the captain for advice in the future." ”

Jia Xu sighed and said: "In the future, I'm afraid that there will be no future." Your Majesty, I want to resign and go home to recuperate, and keep my official position so that the younger generation of capable people can come out to share your worries for Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will grant permission. ”

He originally wanted to tell the old man and return to his hometown, but he remembered that he was from Wuwei and couldn't go back.
